Boats are being stored for the winter on the property. By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A boat yard in a residential area is mostly playing by the new rules created for it, township officials said, although residents are still unhappy with their neighbor. NJ Outboard had
started using a large residential plot of land for boat storage last year. They installed three-story boat racks and had staff moving boats in and out of there throughout the season. The area is in the woods between Scott

Drive and Browning Avenue, east of Route 9. They were using the intersection near the Wawa gas station and Sylvan Lakes Boulevard to move boats. Neighbors living behind the property, in the Scott Estates neigh-
borhood, had been coming to the Township Council meetings to protest it. They felt they weren’t get a fair shake because NJ Outboard had donated a boat to the township in the past. They said NJ Outboard (Boat - See Page 4)
2021 Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade Canceled
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Sadly, the Boulevard in Seaside Heights and Seaside Park will be less green this year. Due to the spread of the coronavirus and conditions which stymied fundraising efforts of the Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee, the popular event has been canceled.
A comment by the Parade Committee noted that “although we are all disappointed, the Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee has decided to cancel this year’s parade in Seaside Heights. Let’s hope the luck of the Irish will keep us safe and we’ll be back bigger and better next year.” The Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Tow n s h i p C o u n c i l urged the state to allow vaccination clinics to be held at senior communities, one of the populations that has been hit hardest by COVID-19. Vaccination clinics for the flu have been done in the senior clubhouses in the past. Now that coronavirus vaccines are becoming available, these clubhouses would be good places for vaccination sites, township officials said. The Ocean County Health Department has
one clinic at Toms River High School North and one at Southern Regional High School, but none in the middle of the county yet, Mayor Carmen Amato said. The county had put out a survey, and local senior communities expressed interest in hosting the clinics. He also offered the recreation building on Route 9 as a location. The need is dire. He said that in December, Berkeley had about 1,900 total positive cases. This number doesn’t mean that there were (Vaccine - See Page 4)
Commissioner Vicari Withdraws From Governor Race
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Commissioner Joseph H. Vicari has withdrawn his name for consideration for the governor’s race this year. He urged that whoever does get the nod should faithfully serve Ocean County residents and not just look to them as a pack of votes. Vicari is the longest-serving Commissioner (formerly called Freeholder) in the state, and had formerly been mayor and committeeman in Toms River, and superintendent of Berkeley Township Schools. He had been on a short list of candidates to be screened by the Ocean County Republican Club for their endorsement. If he had won, he (Governor - See Page 8)

Boat:
Continued From Page 1 cut down trees, buried some of them on the property, built unsteady racks over them, and used fill that hasn’t been tested. All of this was done without township or environmental permits. The township fi ned them. NJ Outboard then applied to the Zoning Board to allow them to operate as they have been, just legally this time. Residents had said the fi nes were a slap on the wrist after allowing them to profit off the land all season.
Vaccine:
Continued From Page 1 1,900 at one time. It means that since the beginning of the pandemic, 1,900 people in Berkeley tested positive at some point. Of these, 122 succumbed. During the January 26, 2021 Township Council meeting, Amato said that number had climbed to 2,773 positive cases and 181 deaths. He said that part of the increase in positives has come from an increase in testing. By way of perspective, there are about 43,000 residents in Berkeley. “I know everyone’s frustrated that the roll-out (of the vaccine) has been slow,” he said. “Please be cautious, wear your masks” and be safe. There are more than 18,000 seniors living
Currently, boats are on racks, wrapped and stored for winter. The storage of boats is not a violation now, Berkeley Business Administrator John Camera explained. The Zoning Board gave them a variance to allow that. A variance in this case is when a property owner is granted the ability to use the property in a way that the township doesn’t normally allow (at least not in that location). “They have actually complied with everything in the resolution other than the fact that they only removed one row of boat racks rather than two,” Camera said on
January 19. “They fenced in the property as required, they removed contaminated soils and are currently working with our engineers and (the Ocean County Soil Conservation District) to stabilize the runoffs of water and soil, and they removed the row of boat racks that ran along Browning Avenue. “When I became aware that they had not complied with the removal of the other boat rack, I informed our Code Enforcement Officer so that he could issue a summons,” he said. At a Zoning Board meeting last year, the owner of NJ Outboard said through his
attorney that he had a reputable contractor who assured him that everything was being done above board. He also said he had a stroke earlier and did not remember what was done. Ultimately, the Zoning Board allowed NJ Outboard to continue to use the land as a boat yard while they came up with a better plan to use the property. When the plan is fi nalized, they’ll have to have it approved, which is a public process. Zoning Board officials had said back then that if they didn’t allow the storage, then the owner could appeal it to a court and the township would lose all jurisdiction.
in Berkeley, and not just in the senior communities, Amato said. “My office has been inundated with phone calls” from people who are not able to get the vaccine just yet. The state has prioritized vaccine roll-out toward people who are the most likely to get the virus and to have a serious case. Therefore, the first group to be vaccinated were health care workers and those living in long-term care facilities like nursing homes. Those people are designated Phase 1A, which started the process on December 15. Gov. Phil Murphy also opened it up to police and firefighters on January 7. Then, on January 14, Murphy announced on social media that residents ages 65 and older and anyone between the ages of 16-64 can sign up as long as they meet the medical conditions defined by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The governor has been criticized for allowing more people to access the vaccine than there are vaccines. This has led to a mad rush of people trying to sign up and being frustrated for not making the cut. Additionally, Amato said he has heard from two World War II veterans who don’t have computers and therefore can’t sign up for a spot, since the process is online. Those folks are urged to call the state call
center at 855-568-0545. However, since it’s busy during the day, he recommended they call from 6-8 p.m. (It is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) Councilwoman Sophia Gingrich said that she recently learned that the Ocean County Health Department will have two mobile units for vaccinations but their schedule is not yet known. She said she township officials will get the word out if they come to Berkeley.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F eAtUreD l etter Monmouth County School Boards Association Honors Local School Trustees January marks School Board Recognition Month in New Jersey, and the Monmouth County School Boards Association adopted a resolution commending the dedication and effort of local school trustees throughout the county. “School board members devote countless hours to their communities and public education, on behalf of children. They do this without receiving any compensation,” states the Monmouth County School Boards Association’s resolution. “Many local board members dedicate extraordinary amounts of time and effort to attend training and to reach out to state and federal lawmakers on behalf of their communities’ children.” Since the first School Board Recognition Month in New Jersey in 2002, the State Board of Education, the state-level public body that regulates public education, has approved resolutions to honor the work done by local school board members. “Local school boards oversee their communities’ education programs and work with chief school administrators to set goals for our children’s education,” said Al Miller, president of the Monmouth County School Boards Association. “With
more than 5,000 men and women serving on the state’s local boards of education, school board members constitute the largest group of public officials in New Jersey.” “School Board Recognition Month was designed to thank current and former school board members for their dedication on behalf of, and service to, their communities,” said Michael McClure, New Jersey School Boards Association president. “New Jersey’s local school boards serve as the community’s voice in setting goals for their schools.” As an advocacy and service organization for the state’s local boards of education, NJSBA is spearheading a statewide School Board Recognition Month effort. The National School Boards Association began School Board Recognition Month in the early 1990s, and various other states followed suit by dedicating one month of the year to recognize the contributions of local board members.

Defend Your Tax Dollars
A sign on the front lawn of our country will read: “America For Sale, Cheap,” because the majority of voters didn’t do the math in favor of diligent management of their hard-earned tax dollars. Seventy-million-plus Americans voted to put a businessman back in the White House, again. This is some 7-plus-million more than in 2016. These voters could see the disparity of the USA paying the World Health Organization some 500 million dollars compared to some 30 million dollars that China pays, and yet China has 5 times more population than the USA. This disparity is an assault on the tax dollars of hard-working Americans. Biden has already announced re-entry of the USA into this Organization, without question. Just as “yo-yo” dieting is dangerous, so too is “yoyo” governing that will be forced on Americans’ hardearned tax dollars. America cannot be the “piggy-bank” of the world, just as we cannot be the “policeman” of the world. Americans’ hard-ear ned tax dollars appropriated for support at home, or abroad, must mandate parity, accountability and recipient merit, without exceptions, but this rarely happens. Biden wants to restore unity, but for the past 4 years he and “his party” have been doing the exact opposite with their mocking, purported lies and refusal to accept a duly elected president and his supporters, which is blatantly hypocritical. It is also hypocritical when they say abortion should be rare, but allow it to become abortion-out-of-control. It’s not fair that the defenseless, little human being in the womb, many fully grown, should have its life snuffed out. Perhaps, in place of abortion, women will be paid to bring their unborn child to term, if COVID continues to kill us at this
increasingly alarming rate. Tell the “Big Guy” that all the men in our families served in the military before receiving FREE college, and there is no such thing as a FREE lunch. If he dares tell you that “yo-yo” governing is OK, because he has the legal right to print monies, he’s correct. But, printing money, taxing and spending to an extreme is not sustaining. Speak out! Defend Your Tax Dollars! Marie Pellicano Whiting
Vaccination Mega-Site Needed at the Shore The opening of vaccinations to people age 65 and up has caused an overwhelming crush of vaccination requests in the shore region, home of the state’s largest concentration of seniors. Ocean County is the epicenter of this demand. The county’s Toms River vaccine clinic filled the first 2 months of its appointment schedule within minutes! The delay in getting access to vaccination appointments is unacceptable! Meanwhile, it’s a hardship for seniors to travel two to three hours round-trip to get each of the two vaccination doses at the nearest state “mega-sites” in Gloucester or Middlesex County. All Shore residents, especially vulnerable seniors, need the state to establish a mega-site in the region now. Rich Wieland Toms River
Remote Schooling Can’t Go On Editor’s Note: This letter is in response to “Lakehurst Returns To School Despite Objections,” published January 23 in The Manchester Times. Every other district in
this area needs to take note of all the concerns those parents stated. Every child right now is getting a subpar education and the school districts are doing a huge disservice by not allowing families who want their children to attend an in-person full week to go in. Our society is not built to allow parents to stay home to teach our children full time, we pay taxes for schools and teachers to take this burden from us so we can work and be productive within the community too. By keeping us all home our children are growing to be the most under-educated generation to date. This is not because parents do not want to teach their children (maybe some do not) but we do not have the time or resources to do it as well as a professional educator. Jessica Smith Manchester
Chris Christie Get Off My TV I thought we had seen the last of Chris Christie. The useless former governor who did absolutely nothing for us. Even in a Republican county, he just said “thanks for the votes” and went his merry way. Can you think of a single thing he did for Ocean County? And now ABC has him as some kind of commentator. I thought maybe it was a one-time thing but he’s on there all the time now. And he never has anything interesting to say. He just spews out talking points. I get that they need a token Republican, but couldn’t they do any better than him? He was the first to try to glom onto Trump’s coattails. And since Tr ump kicked him to the curb, now he’s critical of Trump. Make up your mind. Whether or not you like Trump is a black or white decision. It’s not something you can bounce back and forth depending on the mood of the country.
Obviously, he’s just positioning himself for another presidential run but don’t forget his terrible legacy. He kicked people off the beach and then spent the day there with his family. He caused the bridge traffic jam that could have killed someone if an ambulance got stuck. He tried school funding reform that didn’t really go anywhere. He’s a typical politician, and I’ve had enough of typical politicians. So when I see him on the news I shout “Chris Christie get the hell off my TV!” David Rudrow Toms River
My Congressman Chris Smith I am so proud to be represented by Congressman Chris Smith in not only New Jersey, but also in Washington, D.C. I know I can always place trust in Congressman Smith to help me resolve issues and be there to support me. Congressman Smith and his staff have gone above and beyond to help myself and others through difficult times. Nonetheless, Congressman Smith always keeps things in perspective. Congressman Smith has been representing us since 1980. He has helped us by authoring over 40 laws and promoting human rights. Also, he has used his leadership position to introduce laws focusing on autism. In 2014, he brought in the Autism CARES Act of 2014, which improved the Public Health Service Act. Congressman Smith effortlessly fights for our rights and fights for justice. I could not be any more thankful to have a congressman like him. His achievements in victim trafficking and prevention can be seen domestically and internationally. His humanitarian spirit is what continues to keep our country flourishing. Barry Fisher Manalapan

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Residents Updated On Vaccine Safety, Rollout From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHI NGTON, D.C. – Cong ressman A ndy Kim (NJ-03) held a telephone town hall on where he provided an update on COVID-19 vaccine distribution and economic re-
covery efforts in Congress. This was the Congressman’s 29th town hall since he was sworn into office in January 2019 and his first of the 117th Congress. Congressman Kim was
joined by Dr. Eddy Bresnitz, Medical Advisor to the New Jersey Commissioner of Health on the COVID-19 response. Dr. Bresnitz provided an update on the state’s efforts to quickly distribute safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. More infor mation on vaccine distribution from state and federal resources can be found on the Congressman’s website by clicking here. Questions from residents
of Burlington and Ocean Counties included issues around when veterans will receive the vaccine, if the COVID-19 vaccines are safe immediately after receiving other vaccines, how to make an appointment to receive the vaccine if you don’t have internet access, and whether there will be enough vaccine supply for everyone to receive a second dose of a vaccine. “There can’t be a day that
goes by until this crisis is over that we aren’t dedicated to quickly distributing these vaccines,” said Congressman Kim. “These vaccines will not only save lives; they will give us the freedom and peace of mind we all have missed over the past nine months. The freedom of knowing that we can go back to work or see our friends and family without fear. That’s my priority – to make sure we
get this done, that we get it done right, and we get it done quickly. I’ll work every day until the job is complete.” Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Congressman Kim has held multiple town halls to keep residents of Bu rl i ng ton a nd Ocea n Counties informed on ongoing efforts to end the pandemic, including town halls on increasing preparedness and vaccine development.

WASH I NGTON, D.C – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker a n nou nced the New Je r s e y D e p a r t m e nt of Health (DOH) was awarded $591,502,656 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to expand COVID-19 testing and vaccine distribu-
tion across the state. The Senators helped secure this funding in the COVID-19 spend i ng pack age t hat passed in December. $511,244,494 is allocated to support the state’s COVID-19 testing capacities, contact tracing and containment and mitigation efforts. $80,258,162
will go towards the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. “As cases continue to rise across New Jersey, these vital federal funds will ensure our state can keep up with testing demands and distribute the vaccine efficiently,” said Sen. Menendez, a senior member of
the Senate Finance Committee that sets national health policy. “These steps will help us save lives and defeat the virus once and for all. Although we’re beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, we must stay vigilant and continue wearing masks and practice social dis-
tancing. I also encourage those eligible to sign-up immediately to receive a vaccine.” “As New Jersey continues to handle the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critically important that a coordinated response be built on a partnership between federal and state agencies,” said Sen. Booker. “This federal funding will help our state invest in expanded testing and vaccine distribution, while also helping to build a more resilient healthcare system t hat ser ves t he
health and well-being of New Jerseyans.” “The New Jersey Dep a r t me nt of He a lt h i s grateful for this substantial investment in public health initiatives that will support our response to COVID-19,” said Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “These funds will support expansion of testing, contact tracing and prevention of COVID–19, as well as build capacity that will provide the foundation for addressing future infectious disease outbreaks.”

Governor:
Continued From Page 1 would have had the party line on the November ballot. The Toms River Republican Club had already backed him. “I make this decision after careful and thoughtful discussions with my family. I also want to devote my full-time efforts to serving the residents of Ocean County, who overwhelmingly supported my
re-election as Freeholder last November,” Vicari said. He promised that he would support the gubernatorial candidate that is endorsed by the Ocean County Republican Screening Committee on February 6. “My reasons for entering the governor’s race was based entirely on helping our local residents. Ocean County’s political support is critical to any Republican candidate running for governor. By entering
the race, I wanted to draw attention to the special needs and concerns of our citizens. Too often in the past I have seen candidates for statewide office come to Ocean County “for the votes.” I want to make it clear to anyone seeking our county’s support, that our “votes” come from our people. People with real and critical concerns. Senior citizens, veterans and young families that need help from Trenton. I hope my brief endeavor into state politics has focused

attention on our needs here in Ocean County,” he said. Indeed, after Chris Christie had won his fi rst term as governor, he came to Ocean County, thanking voters here and stating that he couldn’t have done it without them. “I appreciate the support of my colleagues on the Ocean County Board of Commissioners and the encouragement I have received from local mayors, other elected officials and friends,” Vicari said. “My success in more than 40 years of public service has been based in part on the tone and theme of my campaigns, which have always centered on facts and issues and never on personal attacks, unlike so many of the political contests we see today. Had I chosen to continue my quest for the governor’s office, I can assure everyone that this campaign would have taken the high road. As a life-long educator, I hope this can be a lesson to everyone, from either party, who decides to seek public office.” This was not the fi rst time Vicari had considered a run for this office. At least one other time he had put out feelers to gauge his candidacy going back at least 15 years.

events as soon as possible. Please be safe,” the post added. The COVID-19 pandemic caused many events throughout Ocean County and beyond to be canceled last year, such as the Ocean County Fair. The Belmar based St. Patrick’s Day Parade which inspired the start of the Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade decades ago, was canceled earlier in the month and by tradition is held the weekend before the Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade. This would have marked the 37th annual Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade and like years past, would have drawn thousands of spectators to Seaside Heights on the second Saturday of March. Per tradition, the day begins with a traditional Irish Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on the Boulevard and Grant Avenue with the parade kicking off at noon. The parade features various pipe and drum bands, high school bands, floats, Irish-American organizations from around the county and state and is a setting for Girl Scouts to sell their annual cookie sales while Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts promoted sales of their candy bars. Last year’s parade grand marshal was Judge Damien Murray and the committee’s Irish Woman of the Year was Mary Kelly, the mother of past parade chairman Denis Kelly who had sung the Irish National Anthem on parade day. Mayor Anthony Vaz noted that the parade was a popular event in Ocean County and one of his personal favorites as it “kicks off the spring season.”

−Photos courtesy Berkeley Township School District BERKELEY – Students in Mrs. Ofsanko’s class (Cohort 1) at Berkeley Township Elementary School are glowing and growing! They learned all about how to form comparative and superlative adjectives in the dark! Special black lights darkened out the room so they could complete their work with glow-in-the dark pencils, Expo markers and highlighters. Students took dance breaks in between and wore all their glow stick creations. Although, they learned about comparative adjectives they also learned never to compare themselves to anyone.

Fire Destroys Holiday City Home
−Photo courtesy Ocean County Scanner News By Alyssa Riccardi BERKELEY – A home on La Combe Terrace in in the Holiday City area of Berkeley Township was found up in flames on January 21. The Berkeley Township Police Department responded to the call around 10 a.m. and found the home fully engulfed in flames upon arrival, according to a press release. Police determined that no one was in the house. Multiple Fire Departments from Berkeley Township responded to scene including The Manitou Park Fire Department, The Pinewald Pioneer Fire Department, Bayville Fire Department, Beachwood Fire Depart-
ment and the Toms River Fire Department. First Aid from Berkeley Township EMS and Holiday City Berkeley First Aid also arrived to assist. Adjacent homes were evacuated to the street as a precaution to avoid more injuries. It was also reported that the residents of the home had no injuries. The initial investigation suggests that the fire may be accidental, but it’s still being investigated by the Berkeley Township Detective Bureau, The Berkeley Township Fire Official as well as the Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Health Dept. Announces Restrictions On Vaccine Clinics
By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) has announced that the COVID-19 vaccination clinics are now being restricted to Ocean County residents. The OCHD will honor any out-of-county residents who have scheduled an appointment for their second doses. Ocean County residents must show a valid ID for proof of residency when showing up to their appointment. Residents must have an appointment scheduled at one of the OCHD vaccination sites in order to receive the vaccine. Anyone who does not have a scheduled appointment will be turned away. When making an appointment, the OCHD reminded residents that appointments are nontransferable. The person
named on the appointment must be the person receiving the vaccine at that specific date/ time. They ask residents not to send anyone else in your place as they will be turned away. If you received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at one of the OCHD vaccination sites, you will receive an email within two weeks of receiving their first dose to receive the second dose. The email will include a direct link for you to schedule a second dose appointment. Ocean County residents can visit ochd.org for available appointments. Appointments are still very limited due to a shortage of vaccine.

The hearing-impaired population is frustrated enough trying to clarify conversations under normal listening conditions. However, the frustration intensifies when everyone around you is wearing a mask and not only is their voice “muffled” but you can’t even take advantage of visual cues to assist in lip reading. There are “face shields” that can help as well as masks with a clear covering around the mouth area. However, the majority of you typically wear a rewashable “cloth” mask or KN 95 mask. 2021 will still be the year of the “mask” and the best advice that I can give to you is… Encourage your friends and family to speak slowly and clearly and make every attempt to have a face-to-face conversation. Most of my patients are mainly staying home unless they need to visit a doctor or go to a grocery store. Thus, watching Television has increased dramatically amongst all of us. For at least 75% of my patients, even with the assistance of hearing aids, understanding the dialogue on the T.V. can be frustrating and many of you “need” closed-caption. For 99% of my patients, I always suggest that they consider “streaming the TV” which will provide them with the clearest sound quality. What is TV streaming and how does it work? Basically, we provide you with a small TV box that you plug into the audio out of either your TV or cable box. This creates a Bluetooth signal from your hearing aids directly to the TV. It’s comparable
to streaming music from your smart phone into I pods wirelessly. You can initiate streaming three ways: 1) turn it on via an APP that we install of your phone, 2) use a remote that we provide to you or 3) manually push a button on one of your hearing instruments. TV streaming may eliminate the use of close caption for many of you. At Garden State Hearing, we provide the TV streaming box and remote (if necessary) at no charge for most of our patients. That’s at least a $450 savings. We even go the extra mile to come to your home and install the TV box at no cost to you if your technical skills preclude you from setting it up. Going the extra mile for your patients is what we do at Garden State Hearing. Many hearing care practices don’t even discuss this option even though most hearing aids are “Bluetooth” enabled. Moreover, many practices expect you to “pay upfront” when purchasing hearing aids instead of offering them no interest payment plans. We offer 0% interest payment plans of up to 36 months. We, as a practice, pay the interest up front so you don’t have to incur this expense! In my professional opinion, all practices should offer no interest payment plans and discuss better ways to clarify the TV. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Izzy at ikirsh@gardenstatehearing.com or make an appointment at one of our convenient offices (Toms River & Whiting: 732-8183610 or Manahawkin 609-978-8926).
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

How Hawthorn Lowers Blood Pressure By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Hypertension refers to high blood pressure, and while doctors sometimes define this differently based upon your age, it is usually something like 140 over 90. These numbers are further defined as your systolic blood pressure over the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic is always the first number, whereas the diastolic is the second number and it’s most important because it shows what the pressure is at rest. Hypertension occurs due to several factors, usually not just one. You might see this condition occur in people who are sedentary and eating too much salt or drinking too much alcohol. You might see it in a smoker who is stressed and getting older. Your genetics play a role too. There is age-old herb that I trust for all kinds of heart conditions including hypertension. It’s called hawthorn and it is in the same family as roses. Hawthorne is available widely at health food stores and online e-tailors in all kinds of forms like pills, powders and extracts. It’s not so much the leaf, it’s actually the berry of the hawthorn shrub that does the heavy lifting. The berry contains a high concentration of natural compounds which support your entire cardiovascular system. Hawthorn has been used for centuries to support all kinds of cardiovascular disorders, and it can relax tight, constricted blood vessels. By relaxing them, there is less pressure inside, and therefore blood pressure comes down over time. Hawthorn does affect the nervous system, it is calming and has a mild sedative effect. But I do not recommend hawthorn at bedtime though. The reason for
this warning is that hawthorn is a diuretic. Hawthorne was studied and compared to placebo and found to help people with type 2 diabetes who also had hypertension. The participants took 1,200 mg hawthorn extract in this particular study (doses vary greatly so keep that in mind), and those who took hawthorn had better (lower) blood pressures than those who took the dud pill. Hawthorn contains many polyphenols and antioxidants. It can be useful for many conditions including hypertension, a weak heart, congestive heart failure, shortness of breath and physical/athletic performance. For that reason, you might consider taking hawthorn, but of course ask your doctor if it’s right for you. Because it reduces blood pressure, you will obviously see interactions with other medications used for hypertension. For example, hawthorn may exacerbate the blood pressure reducing effect of the following: • Beta blockers • Calcium channel blockers • ACE inhibitors • ARBs (Angiotensin II Receptor blockers) • Diuretics • Digoxin • Others Side effects of hawthorn have been reported such as nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, insomnia, restlessness and headaches. Side effects often occur when people mix the hawthorn with other medications which cause pressure to drop too low. With hawthorn, it’s best to use lower dosages of the herb, and take it for a longer period of time, than to take high doses for a short term. Ask your doctor if it’s right for you.

HILDA BROWN TURNING 110 YEARS OLD & BEATING COVID-19 That is what happened for Tallwoods Care Center resident Hilda Brown, who turned 110 on January 20th, 2021. Hilda was diagnosed with Covid-19 in December 2020 and beat it with the great care from the staff at Tallwoods Care Center. Hilda also was alive during the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 and has become a survivor of both. Hilda is the oldest resident at Tallwoods Care Center, she is one of the oldest citizens in the State of New Jersey and now has become the oldest Covid-19 patient to recover in the State of NJ. Hilda was born on January 20, 1911 in Newfoundland, Canada. She is the only living member from her family of 10. Hilda moved to the United States and settled in Fort Lee, NJ, where she worked as a waitress for more than 40 years. She was loved and admired by all of her co-workers and clients alike until she decided to retire from her waitress job at the age of 70 and move to Bayville, NJ. Hilda became an active member of the community and her church. She participated in all church functions, hosted church events and played the organ for church causes. She would knit scarfs, blankets and hats to be given out to needy members of the church and veterans. Hilda traveled the world with church missionaries, taking her to places as far as Jerusalem, Egypt and Africa. At the age of 88, when most people are enjoying their retirement years, Hilda decided that she wants to do more for the community. She joined a local senior resident center, where she worked as a housekeeper and helped the residents wherever and whenever possible, although most of the residents were a lot younger than she was. She ended up retiring in her 90’s. In 2014, Hilda came to Tallwoods Care Center, where she now currently resides. The Staff celebrated with Hilda on January 20th with birthday balloons, decorations, a very large birthday cake and 110 beautiful roses! Happy 110th Birthday Hilda.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Community Foundation Of South Jersey Supports Operation Warm-Up Jersey Shore
HADDONFIELD – Operation Warm Up South Jersey set a goal of distributing 3,200 free new winter coats to children in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Thanks in part to a $5,000 grant from the Community Foundation of South Jersey (CFSJ) COVID-19 Response Fund, along with other funding partners, children in need will be able to stay warm during the cold winter months. The coat giveaway was organized by the national non-profit Operation Warm, in conjunction with the Fulfill New Jersey
food bank and Better Education for Kids, Inc. The coats and family meal kits were distributed via socially-distant drive-thru events during the month of November. The South Jersey COVID-19 Response Fund was launched in March. It is currently the only private campaign focused solely on the eight-county Southern New Jersey region. It was established to provide flexible grant dollars to nonprofits helping South Jersey neighbors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, $693,500 has been
awarded from the Response Fund to 99 organizations serving Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Ocean, and Salem Counties. “During an extraordinary crisis like the one we are facing, it is critical that communities unite, nonprofits develop creative partnerships, and neighbors care for each other,” said CFSJ Executive Director Andy Fraizer. “For more than two decades, Operation Warm has been providing warmth, confidence, and hope to children in need
through the gift of a new winter coat made just for them. We are proud to join with six other philanthropic organizations that have come together to help children in South Jersey during these difficult times.” The needs of local nonprofit organizations remain significant during this ongoing public health and economic crisis. For more information on how individuals or organizations can make a donation, funding priorities, and how to apply for a grant, please visit southjerseyresponsefund.org.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq.and Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.
The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during Michael J. Deem, Esq. the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey. Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.

Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 30 - feb 5 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): A loved one could be more loving and thoughtful than expected in the week ahead. Since you may be the target of someone’s ardor and passionate affection, be prepared and set aside some extra time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Life is full of surprises, and you may be the center of attention, especially in social settings. A restless urge to ignore the old and test-drive the new can motivate you to break from traditions in the week to come. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Following the rules of etiquette shows respect and consideration to others. You may not need to think of something to say when you receive a gift or a favor in the week ahead since it’s easy to remember a thank-you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone close could be preoccupied by thoughts of love or immersed in group activities. Either way, your presence may be needed. Earn a few brownie points by making inspired purchases for your home this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An obsession with achieving your ambitions can make you appear insensitive. Avoid making any major decisions or drastic changes until at least the middle of the week, when you might get better results. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You seem more outgoing than usual and are not simply going through the motions when you extend your hand in friendship. In the week ahead, you may be at your best in social situations where you can expect to receive more support.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There are times when you love being spoiled and coddled. You could receive your heart’s desires as the week unfolds since your strong feelings may easily be communicated. Focus on creating a happy home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be prepared to adapt to changing conditions during the week ahead. Some changes should be for the better and uplift your spirits, but don’t launch anything of importance today or tomorrow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week ahead, you may show resourcefulness when handling problems and possessions. You might find an ingenious replacement for a potentially broken object. Find ways to satisfy a desire to learn, investigate or explore. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Romance may become part of your repertoire as this week unfolds. You may get all wrapped up in a relationship that seems merely friendly on the outside but is destined to aid you in expressing true affection. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t take your good luck for granted, especially in the first part of the week. Avoid taking risks with your money for the next few days. Before the week is over, you may be given an opportunity to make beneficial changes. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There may be numerous occasions during the week ahead to meet new people who might become welcome fixtures in your life. You may be encouraged to adjust your viewpoint to accommodate someone’s beliefs.
