Ridgeway Students Get Their Books Through A Drive By Service By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Students of the Ridgeway Elementary School are really enjoying receiving their books in a unique way, via bookmobile. The school’s bookmobile however is hardly traditional. While it might deliver books, it only has three wheels and operates on pedal power. Teachers pedal the bright yellow adult tricycle through the school hallways, delivering books to students who are very excited when it arrives at their classroom door. Earlier this month, “Read Across America Day was “the first day of our deliveries this year,” Ridgeway Principal Nikki Mazur said. “Due to the pandemic, we are careful about who and how many people handle books, and then we never have the students touch the books, other than the one they receive. Last year we began giving out the books in school, but then once we all went remote, the teachers took the Book-
Official: Town Should Evaluate Infrastructure
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – A strong recommendation was made for the governing body to review the status of the township’s infrastructure as well as its cyber security that controls some of it. Councilman James Vaccaro noted during his report during a recent council meeting that, “earlier in February I enjoyed watching the Super Bowl but beyond the game, the water supply around Tampa Florida, was poisoned chemically.” “I would like council to explore what safeguards are in place within the township to protect us against cyber-attacks in our infrastructure, water and sewer, communications and internet systems to protect our vital services of police, fire, EMS, and other services,” Councilman Vaccaro added. Vaccaro noted that Leisure Village West (Infrastructure - See Page 7)

mobile to the streets to deliver to the students’ homes,” she added. Mazur said that the goal for this year is to give a new book to each student in the building by the last day of school. “We have hundreds of new books already, thanks to the generous donations of our staff and members of the community.”

mer. If she wins that, she would have the party line for the general election in November. This is important because most people just vote for everyone in their party of choice. “I am humbled by tonight’s vote and honored to have received the endorsement of my fellow Ocean County Republicans. I want to thank Chairman

By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Replacing trees and old street lights were issues brought up by the Borough Council recently. Council President Steven Oglesby asked for an update concerning the more than 100 trees
that need to be removed from around the borough’s sidewalks. There are trees in the borough that are lifting sidewalks causing a possible tripping hazard. A number of trees were previously removed (Trees - See Page 4)

from the borough’s downtown area because they either damage sidewalks or cause visability issues. Other trees were also dying and needed to be replaced. There has been no decision on what trees will replace them. Mayor Harry Robbins said “there are about 132 trees that should be cut.” It was recommended that a few each month should be cut to get the process rolling. “It is definitely in the works and we’re going to take care of it,” the mayor said adding that there had been ideas discussed with the Department of Public Works concerning the project and how best to go about approaching it. Council President Oglesby also noted about another update, this one concerning Jersey Central Power and Light (JCP&L) and the transition from the old street lights and the more modern LED lighting. “It has been a while since we heard from them.” “I’ll reach out to them,” the mayor said. “I do a fair amount of walking around the town and it seems that dog owners are not cleaning up. I don’t know if the dogs are running lose or if they are on a leash but maybe we could get the police to keep an extra eye out because there is a lot out there and there shouldn’t be any,” Oglesby added. The Public Works Department got several kudos from members of the council on their work to clean up the town last month during snow storms. “They did a good job during the storms. I didn’t hear any reports of any icy intersections,” Councilman James Davis said. In a discussion with Councilwoman Patricia
Hodges who heads the council’s committee on ordinances and policy, Robbins said that some of the ordinances that need to be codified require approval before they can be placed on the borough’s website. Borough Clerk Maryanne Capasso said later in the week that she had recently heard from the firm, “so we are moving ahead to review and put online.” A resolution was also approved appointing Tyler Sypniewski as a part-time police officer to the Borough’s police department. Councilman Gary Lowe reported that the fire pit at the borough’s lake had been filled in. At a prior council meeting its condition was reported as unsightly and that the funds to restore it would be better used for other lakebased projects. The firepit was hardly ever used by residents who use the lake facility. “It looks good.” “We are also having an issue with a backhoe. We can’t live without a backhoe,” Lowe said noting that one idea was to replace the backhoe’s engine. Councilman Lowe added, “everything else on it is in pretty sharp shape but for a new one you are looking at $180-190,000. For a new engine you are looking at $16,000.” Mayor Robbins and members of Council previously voiced safety concerns regarding a dilapidated building on 6 Union Avenue. The building’s structural integrity and the safety and wellbeing of residents have led to contact with the owner as to its demolition. “The owner has reached out to a demolition company for a quote and to the Pinelands Commission for approval to demolish the building, no word on a date yet,” Capasso said.

had recently experienced a severe water main break as well as other locations in Manchester due to the cold weather and the possible age of the water mains. “I would like council also to explore and ensure an evaluation of our infrastructure is in place and an action plan is prepared and in place for our infrastructure systems at best for water and sewer,” Vaccaro added. Vaccaro also reminded council members about his idea concerning a 10-year energy master plan that would encompass sources

a dynamic, conservative ticket from top to bottom. Together, I am confident we will win decisively in June and November, and keep Ocean County the best place to live in New Jersey,” she said. Crea has been on the Little Egg Harbor Township Committee for four terms. She served as mayor in 2019 and 2020. She is the Little Egg Harbor Republican Municipal Chairwoman and has served on County Committee since 1996. She retired in 1994 as a Senior Executive with the New Jersey Division of Taxation, and is a Certified Public Manager. The candidate said she was also proud of her local record of delivering results and safeguarding the special quality of life in
The Manchester Times, March 20, 2021, Page 7 of renewable energy of wind, geothermal and more extensive use of solar applications. “General Motors and other automotive companies have stated that in 2035 at the latest, they are converting most of their automotive fleets to electric thus we must begin to plan for the high-speed electric battery charging stations,” Vaccaro said. The councilman said that such a move would position Manchester toward “a possible revenue source that could be used from what is generated from the charging stations. We need to plan now for the future.” In other business the council approved the
payment of bills that totaled $488,900.82 and payment of the utility bill for the eastern service area fund in the amount of $716,024.11 and the western service area for $6,259.44. An ordinance to be voted on during that Council Meeting concerned repealing and replacing sections of the township’s code book entitled uniform construction code and fire prevention. Wallis said, “with this one we are raising a few of the fees that haven’t been raised in quite a while to bring them in line to what they should be at the cost of actually doing it.” Again, no public comment came
her hometown. Crea also pledged to work hand-in-hand with the county’s small businesses to rebuild and recover from the pandemic lockdown orders, while keeping county residents healthy and safe. Crea is also a member of the Ocean County Republican Federation of Women, a parishioner at Saint Theresa’s, a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 493, and a Trustee of the Great Bay Regional Volunteer EMS along with other civic and charitable pursuits. The current make-up of the County Commissioners is all Republican. Commissioner Gerry Little announced that he would not run for re-election in 2021. Republicans have generally won county races, with large percentages. The last Democrats to serve as County Commissioners (then called freeholders) were Paul Brush
and Mark Troncone from 1990-1993. The following Republicans also put in for the spot: • John Bacchione, Berkeley Councilman • Lawrence Cuneo, Pine Beach Mayor • Peter Curatolo, Lacey Mayor • Shawn Denning, Waretown Board of Education • Victor Finamore, Brick Housing Advisor • Lisa Hodgson-Henson, Surf City Realtor • Andrew Kern, Jackson Council President • Sharon McKenna, Stafford former Councilwoman • Stephen Reid, former Point Pleasant Beach Mayor • Michael A.

forward and the governing body voted to unanimously pass the ordinance. An Ocean County Transportation Assistance grant which comes through the township’s social services program will be applied for. Bonds will be released for the funding for a project on 2114 Route 70 at Hudson City Plaza which needed to meet American Disability Act compliance issues. Also approved was a service agreement with Prevention Specialists for drug and alcohol testing. “These are pretty straight forward resolutions,” Wallis noted on the short list of consent agenda items which were unanimously approved.

Written Notification Should Be Sent To Parents For Child Marijuana, Alcohol Possession CAPITOL COMMENTS
writing when a juvenile is caught in possession of marijuana or alcohol. The 10th District legislators’ bill is a response 10th Legislative District to a new law recently enacted by Democrats Senator Jim Holzapfel Assemblyman Greg McGuckin and Governor Murphy that prohibits police officers TRENTON − Senator Jim Holzapfel and from notifying the parents of a juvenile Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and John under the age of 18 about their possession Catalano have cosponsored legislation or consumption of marijuana or alcohol which allows law enforcement officers to for the fi rst offense. Republican lawmaknotify the minor’s parent or guardian in ers vehemently opposed the Democrats’
absurd law, saying it would leave parents in the dark when their children are at risk for continued substance abuse. “We have heard from hundreds of parents who are extremely concerned that allowing this type of leniency with children can lead them down a dark path and encourage future substance abuse,” stated the 10th District legislators. “Children can make mistakes, but there should always be some form of notice given to a parent or guardian when drugs and alcohol are involved. This bill will address the concerns we’ve heard from parents.”
“We are witnessing yet another attempt by the Democrats and Governor Murphy to force their liberal agenda upon our children,” continued the legislators. “First, it was changes to school curriculum to include topics on gender and sexual identity for children as young as kindergarten. Now, they have changed the law so parents are completely unaware when their child has broken the law for smoking marijuana or drinking alcohol. This is a dangerous message that we’re sending to youths and it must be changed immediately.”
Billions Outlined For COVID-19 Relief To Help Communities Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
ELIZABETH – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (both D-N.J.)
were joined by Governor Phil Murphy, local mayors and first responders on the steps of Elizabeth City Hall to discuss how $10.2 billion in direct, flexible, federal assistance they delivered for New Jersey will help the state and local communities combat COVID-19, keep firefighters, police officers, teachers and other essential workers on the job, and spur economic recovery. Democrats in Congress passed the American Rescue Plan without a single Republican vote, despite the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package and many of its com-
ponents garnering broad bipartisan support among the American people. In addition to the $10.2 billion in state and local aid for New Jersey, the state will receive billions more to get vaccines into people’s arms, help struggling individuals and families, support restaurants and small businesses, safely reopen schools, and keep buses and trains rolling. The $360 billion in direct, flexible assistance for state and local governments, contained in the American Rescue Plan, is modeled after Sen. Menendez’s bipartisan SMART Act, which was cosponsored by Sen. Booker and targets federal resources to areas with the greatest need, while ensuring every community, regardless of its size, is eligible for funding. The final formula, which Sen. Menendez was instrumental in
securing, netted New Jersey about $1 billion more than had the money been distributed solely by population. “We are here today to say that help is on the way!” Sen. Menendez said. “The American Rescue Plan will put us on a path to end the worst pandemic in 100 years and the most devastating economic crisis of our lifetimes. It will accelerate vaccination efforts nationwide, because that’s our greatest hope for crushing COVID-19 and getting back to our lives. And it is built to help the families, workers, businesses, and communities hit hardest by this pandemic.” “As we face economic and public crises unlike anything we have seen in our lifetimes, the American Rescue Plan is an urgently needed and historic investment (Government - See Page 9)

that will help New Jerseyans and millions of people across the country. I was proud to fight alongside Senator Menendez and our colleagues to ensure that New Jersey’s residents and communities receive the help they desperately need,” said Sen. Booker. “New Jersey’s teachers, police officers, firefighters, and other essential workers have been leading the battle against the coronavirus pandemic, and this federal support will help state and local governments to continue to provide these critical services. I look forward to continue working with our federal, state, and municipal leaders to help see New Jersey communities through these challenging times.” The State of New Jersey will receive approximately $6.434 billion plus another $189 million to expand broadband internet across the state. An additional $1.823 billion will be split among the 21 county governments and $1.741 billion divided among all 565 cities and municipalities. The flexible funding can be used by state and local governments
to pay COVID-related expenses; cover lost revenues due to the pandemic to maintain critical services and avoid layoffs of essential workers; provide additional assistance to residents and small businesses; and invest in water, sewer and broadband infrastructure. “The American Rescue Plan is not only a lifeline for the families who have been trying to stay afloat for the past year as the pandemic upended their lives and careers. It is also a plan that ensures the vital services those families rely upon – police and fire, public health and emergency medical services, our public schools, and more – will remain viable and fully staffed,” said Gov. Murphy. “I’d like to thank Senators Menendez and Booker for all they did to not only get the American Rescue Plan across the finish line, but to ensure that the needs of our state were not left out of it. I’d also like to thank Representatives Frank Pallone, Bill Pascrell, Donald Payne Jr., Albio Sires, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Donald Norcross, Josh Gottheimer, Mikie Sherrill, Andy Kim, and Tom Malinowski for their leadership and support in the House, and for voting to move New Jersey forward.”

Veterans’ Memorial Foundation To Host Virtual Ceremony
NEW JERSEY – Join the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation on National Vietnam War Veterans Day, March 29, as they commemorate the New Jersey men and women who served and died as a result of the war in Vietnam after returning home. Some of these deaths are due to Agent Orange exposure and the physical or emotional wounds received in Vietnam. The deaths of these individuals are no less tragic than those that occurred in-country,
but their names do not appear on the Memorial. This event will be broadcast live on their Facebook and YouTube pages and posted afterward on their website. The public is welcome to honor a Veteran by leaving a virtual candle on their website with a personalized message. Payment is not required to leave a message; donations supporting the Foundation and their work preserving the legacies from the Vietnam War are appreciated.

Hackensack Meridian Health Establishes Foundation To Oversee Fundraisers
EDISON – Hackensack Meridian Health, the largest, most comprehensive and integrated health care network in New Jersey, today announced the formation of Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation. The newly created foundation will serve as the parent organization for the network’s 10 community-based hospital foundations. In addition to raising funds for the network’s local medical centers, Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation will also focus on network-wide priorities such as behavioral health, children’s health, the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery & Innovation and the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. “The establishment of one network-wide philanthropic entity has been a goal for a long time,” says Robert C. Garrett, FACHE, chief executive officer of Hackensack Meridian Health. “Our local hospital foundations, led by strong boards of trustees, do a tremendous job of fundraising for their local medical centers. In addition, there are important priorities that we need to address at a broader level that will ultimately benefit our community hospitals and patients. Take, for example, behavioral health. Funding on a larger scale helps us to create the additional programs and facilities needed to address a growing health crisis, and those extra resources have the added benefit of freeing up space and caregiver expertise in the emergency departments, which is good on a local level.” Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation is led by president and chief development officer Joyce P. Hendricks, along with a board of trustees co-chaired by Keith Banks and Domenic DiPiero. The trustees consist of members from each hospital foundation board, ensuring local hospital representation as they work to broadly raise funds for Hackensack Meridian Health. All hospital foundations will continue to operate locally, raising money for the hospitals, programs and services that mean the most to supporters in

those areas. “We are so fortunate to have dedicated trustees who will work as ambassadors on behalf of the network at all levels,” says Hendricks. “It is vital that a leading health care organization such as Hackensack Meridian Health has a foundation that matches its ambitious goals and is able to secure the funding necessary to help the network fulfill its mission to transform health care. However, it is equally important that we continue to support our local hospitals, and all gifts made to those important community hospitals will be directed as donors intend and remain with the facility or program of their choosing. I am confident that with the creation of Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation, we are well poised to make a real difference for the network, and most importantly, our patients.” In addition to fundraising for Hackensack Meridian Health priorities, the establishment of Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation will deliver cost savings through the centralization of operations and office space. This will help to reduce expenses and enable the foundation to transfer additional funds directly to programs and services. In a joint statement, foundation co-chairs Banks and DiPiero said the following: “It is an honor to serve as co-chairs of this very important endeavor. We firmly believe that the merger of our foundations in the north, central and southern markets of Hackensack Meridian Health will create a halo effect that will envelop and enhance health care for our communities. Together with our dedicated board of trustees, we will actively seek out philanthropic opportunities that will make Hackensack Meridian Health the health care organization of choice for the residents of New Jersey and beyond.” To learn more about how you can support the foundations of Hackensack Meridian Health, visit hackensackmeridianhealth.org/ give-now.

Small Business, Nonprofit Rent Assistance Available
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Ocean County officials are once again bringing awareness to the grants available for rent or lease payments to small businesses and non-profits who are having problems making their commercial rent payments due to the coronavirus pandemic. Grant applications for Ocean County businesses and non-profit 501C3s, 4s and 7s, will be available starting at 9 a.m., Monday, March 15. To apply visit NJRA.us and follow the links for Ocean County Small Business Lease Emergency Assistance Grant Program or click on https://bit.ly/NJRAOcean Grant. Applications will be considered on a first come first served basis. This program provides grants to small businesses and non-profits leasing commercial space in mixed-use buildings; small businesses leasing space in commercial buildings; storefront businesses that lease their space and small businesses that demonstrate a loss due to COVID-19. Eligible applicants will need to supply a current copy of their executed lease outlining terms and conditions of the agreement, and a current New Jersey tax clearance certificate or current business registration issued by the state of New Jersey according to the NJRA. Applicants must provide verification from the landlord that the respective business was in good standing with monthly lease obligations prior to March 1, 2020. The landlord and small business will need to sign certifications acknowledging the amount of outstanding lease obligations, not to exceed $30,000. The tenant will not be disqualified if monthly lease payments are current/up to date. “We are again working in conjunction with the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority which will be administering the grant program on our behalf,” said Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners Gary Quinn. He added that the grant program provides up to $30,000. “Small businesses and non-profits affected by the coronavirus pandemic can apply for

financial assistance for their rent or lease payments through this program,” said Ocean County Commissioner John P. Kelly, liaison to the Ocean County Department of Finance. Kelly said, “the program provides grant funding up to $30,000. What is nice about this program, is it provides a grant and it doesn’t have to be repaid.” Quinn said, “many of our businesses continue to struggle as the days of the coronavirus pandemic have turned into months and now over a year. We are providing financial help in order to keep these hard-working men and women business owners open and to reduce some of their concerns about keeping up with the rent and lease payments during this time.” The first phase of this grant program started in November of 2020 using $10 million from the federal CARES money to help local businesses. It was noted that those Small businesses that received a grant early on in the program but not the full $30,000 can now apply for the additional funds. Ocean County Commissioner Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to tourism and business development said, “small businesses are truly the heart and soul of our communities. The Ocean County business community has been uniquely impacted by the pandemic since tourism and hospitality represent such a high percentage of its economic activity here.” The County Commissioners will once again, partner with the NJRA to administer the Small Business Lease Emergency Assistance Grant Program solely for Ocean County businesses in order to streamline the grant process. County Commissioners are encouraging Ocean County small businesses or non-profits in Ocean County to apply for the grant as soon as possible. “Even while many have been struggling during this past year, small businesses are still making a difference by helping others, donating meals to hospitals and supporting many of our charitable organizations. “They have been and continue to be a key part of our economy and our communities,” Quinn said.

There are many confl icting articles focusing on the longevity of hearing aids. In my practice, the average life is between 4-6 years but there are many factors that will impact the lifespan of a hearing aid: How long you wear you’re hearing aids on a daily basis. For example, if you wear your hearing instruments 12 hrs./ day, that equates to 4400 hrs. per year or 20,000 hours over a 5-year period. Frequency of cleaning: We encourage all of our patients to use a soft dry toothbrush to clean the hearing aids on a daily basis. If you fail to do so, the hearing aids will break down frequently. Ask you hearing care professional for AUDIOWIPES as well. Where hearing aids are worn: In general, the ultra-small “custom” hearing aids
have poor reliability statistics and will be replaced 1-2 yrs. sooner than other styles. A person’s body physiology: Many patients create excessive cerumen buildup (wax) and profusely sweat. Sweat creates moisture which commonly invades the circuit and shuts down the hearing aid. An electronic dehumidifier is recommended to dry out the hearing instruments. Frequency of Maintenance: Just like a car needs periodic oil and filter changes, tire rotations, etc. you’re hearing aids should be checked by a hearing healthcare professional at least two times year. If that Practice does not schedule you for these visits in advance, I would go somewhere else. Dr. Izzy and his Staff are always here to answer your questions about hearing care issues.
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!
Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Losing A Pet Is Hard To Cope With
Dear Joel, We recently lost our 10-year-old golden retriever to cancer, and our kids, ages 7 and 9 are devastated. My husband thinks we should go the SPCA and adopt another dog, and I disagree. I am concerned that it sends the wrong message, that when we lose someone or something we love, we can just replace them with another. Do you have any suggestions on how we should proceed? Answer: Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows the heartbreak of losing them. It can be especially hard on young children who don’t fully grasp the concept of death. In this situation, I think adopting a
new dog would teach them a valuable lesson. By adopting a dog from the SPCA, you are saving two lives, the life of the dog you bring home and the one who is saved from the street. And isn’t that a wonderful way to honor the pet you’ve lost. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

6 Natural Ways To Improve Eyesight By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Just imagine what it would be like to read with more clarity, and be able to focus better and see the leaves on the trees without squinting! How about reading a book without discomfort. We live in a time where we can correct many eyesight problems with professional help. For people with problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, there are eyeglasses, contact lenses, LASIK and refractive surgery options. Today, I’d like to share some other options you can do, as well as the controllable lifestyle factors that help you protect your eyesight naturally. In particular, you should focus on retinal and macular health, light and dark adaptation, eye fatigue and strain, and crispness of vision. Maintaining eye comfort and moisture is also important. Here are some 7 valuable tips: 1. Eat foods rich in saffron. Saffron may improve were retinal sensitivity, color perception and visual contrast according to studies on supplementation. So I think incorporating this spice could be helpful. You can add this spice to rice, soup and sauce recipes and even marinades. 2. Consume more fresh spices. Carotenoids are natural dyes that impart orange color to fruits and vegetables. Two potent ones are lutein and zeaxanthin which sweep away poisonous, dirty free radicals before they harm the structure of your eyes. Foods rich in lutein include fresh spices like basil and parsley. Other foods include leek, spinach, red peppers and kale. 3. Minimize or eliminate smoking. Smoking damages the eyes and may lead to blindness because of macular degeneration
and cataracts. If you’re smoking a pack a day, and you cut that in half, even that would help! Smokers need additional Vitamin C because nicotine is a drug mugger of C. 4. Control blood sugar. Having hyperglycemia is a known risk factor for many eye problems including a condition where the high blood sugar (which acts like an acid wash) causes damage to the capillaries of the light-sensors in the back of the eye (the retina). It’s called diabetic retinopathy. Hyperglycemia also contributes to glaucoma. Managing blood sugar through diet, exercise and herbal supplements is ideal, and this topic is covered extensively in my book, Diabetes Without Drugs. 5. Try tinted plastic reading sheets. There are many brands of this available online and the most useful colors are orange, yellow, blue and red. The sheets are placed on top of any reading literature (magazine, newspaper, novel, journal, etc), and they reduce harshness of bright paper. They may help with conditions that affect reading such as dyslexia, color blindness and/or some people with autism-related reading issues. 6. Invest in good eye vitamins. Shamefully, the ingredients known to help are put into the commercial brands that don’t bother to either enteric coat, or encapsulate the ingredients in acid-resistant capsules otherwise it is not doing you any good. As for medications to treat eye conditions, those are always an excellent choice so remain on whatever your ophthalmologist has prescribed. If we take good care of our macula, cornea and retina now, we’ll have them for a lifetime.

Fulfill Forms Hospital Partnership Program
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – With the pandemic raging on and also causing financial hardship for many, the need for services provided by Fulfill FoodBank has increased. That has led them to enlist in a new hospital partnership program. Fulfill CEO and President Kim Guadagno announced the new program with local
hospitals to help identify and feed people who are struggling to put food on the table for a variety of reasons including job loss and illness during the ongoing coronavirus health crisis. Guadagno made the announcement at the B.E.A.T. Center located on Hooper Avenue. She was joined by Fulfill Board Chair Lauren Holman and CentraState Community
Relations Manager Jay Robinson. Hackensack Meridian Community Outreach Manager Allison Cerco was also present and she noted that with the rollout of vaccinations “we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully a gradual return to some normalcy. Unfortunately food insecurity in our community continues to be a great concern and chal-
lenges of the pandemic have only increased this.” “That is where the hospital partnership program comes in. As we provide care at our medical centers out in our communities, our outpatient facilities - our team members and physicians - come across and are made aware of families in need. They do everything they can to support them and provide them with needed resources,” Cerco said. “Now we have another wonderful resource we can refer them to and it is Fulfill. Our team members are also vulnerable to hardship and have been effected by the pandemic,” she added. One of those individuals impacted was present to talk about what she had experienced during the pandemic. Robin Severin of Waretown, a hospital employee, connected to Fulfill for help because she is unable to work as much as usual. “I have been using Fulfill for a few months now and they have helped me and my family. I have been going through a lot of medical issues because I work at a local hospital. I keep running fevers and you don’t want to expose anyone.” She said the assistance she has received “has allowed me to focus on other things and not worry about trying to feed my family. It allowed me to put that money elsewhere and not have to worry about where our next meal was coming from.” Also present was Toms River resident Rob Cressen. He and his 74-year-old mother are (Fulfill - See Page 27)

Inside The Law The Bulk Sales Act As It Applies To The Sale Of Real Estate By: Marc S. Galella, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Anyone selling real estate in New Jersey needs to be aware of the terms of the Bulk Sales Act. The purpose behind the Bulk Sales Act is to protect a purchaser from any taxes owed by the seller to the State of New Jersey. The failure to follow the Bulk Sales procedures could result in the State assessing any tax liability of the seller against the purchaser. For the purposes of the Bulk Sale Act, the only real estate that is exempt from the Bulk Sales filing requirement is a simple dwelling house, which is a one- or two-family residential building, or condominium, if the seller is an individual, estate or trust. Almost all other real estate transactions are required to file pursuant to the Bulk Sales Act. The filing procedure for the Bulk Sales Act is relatively straightforward. At least 10 business days prior to the closing of title, the purchaser or their attorney must file a form with the State referred to as a C-9600 Bulk Sales Notice. The form contains information about the transaction including the seller’s name and tax ID number as well as the purchaser’s name and tax ID number. The terms of the sale must be disclosed by way of a copy of the real estate contract attached to the form. Once the State receives that form, it will

Marc S. Galella Esq.
then review its records to determine whether the seller owes any taxes to the State, including any taxes that may result from the specific sale. The State will then send what is referred to as a Bulk Sales escrow letter to the buyer’s attorney. The Bulk Sales escrow letter will direct how much money must be escrowed from the seller at closing pending a determination by the State as to the actual taxes owed. The next step is for the seller or their accountant to submit to the State a form known as a TTD (Transfer Tax Declaration) form in which the seller discloses the taxes that may be due to the State as a result of the transaction. In some cases the Bulk Sales notice and the TTD form can be submitted simultaneously so that the State can make a determination as to amount of taxes owed. Once the State determines the taxes owed, it will send a second letter directing the buyer’s attorney to release a specific amount of money from the escrow held at closing. Upon the State receives that money it will then send a third letter to the buyer’s attorney authorizing the release of the remaining escrow to the seller.

Unlike steroid injections that can cause irreversible damage to the joint ligaments and tissues, this is an all-natural injection proven to enhance all-natural healing.
If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, regain control of your life by visiting Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation, a stateof-the art medical facility. Cause of Knee Pain… How does knee pain occur? Factors that might cause it include the following: • Being overweight • Getting older…normal wear and tear • Joint injury • Knee imbalances • A genetic defect in the joint cartilage • Stresses on the joints from certain activities including sports, work, and leisure activities. Over time, all of the above can eat away at the cartilage in your knee leading to damage called Osteoarthritis! What is Osteoarthritis? (OA) Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In Osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together resulting in pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years. Don’t Just Mask the Pain! Say Goodbye to Knee Pain... the Non-Surgical Way! Now is the time to take control of your life and say goodbye to knee pain the non-surgical way! Most people feel better in a matter of weeks and can begin enjoying everyday activities pain-free again. Consider These Facts Before Surgery
Under the guidance of Video Fluoroscopy (VF), Dr. Ben Meir precisely delivers the correct amount of lubricant into the exact area of knee damage.
Ron Ben-Meir, DO. Board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation, fellowship trained in Interventional Spine & Sports Medicine.
Meet the Doctor Ron Ben-Meir, DO, is board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and fellowshiptrained in Interventional Spine and Sports Medicine at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine. A former Division 1 College Football player at Texas State University, his experience allows him to specialize in sports-related injuries affecting highly competitive athletes, weekend warriors, and general musculoskeletal pain. An expert in current non-surgical interventional procedures to treat joint pain, he also performs diagnostic procedures such as musculoskeletal ultrasound and electromyography to help diagnose the sources of the muscle and nerve-related pain. Dr. BenMeir’s focus is on treating patients with acute or chronic pain. All patients receive individualized treatment plans that may include physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and ultrasound or fluoroscopy-guided injections.
WHAT ARE PATIENTS SAYING? “I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn’t lift anything heavy and some days I would use a cane because my knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week. Thank you Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation for caring about my wellness!”

Are you active and sometimes suffer from sore knees? Do you take medications for knee pain? Do you have difficulty going up and down stairs due to knee pain?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are ready to experience relief at Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation! √ Covered By Most Insurance Plans Including Medicare √ No Reported SideEffects √ Little-To-No Pain √ Immediate Relief
PATIENTS FIND RELIEF...
“When I heard about this place I immediately came in for a consultation and decided to start this treatment for my knees. I really did not think it was going to work but I had to try something after living in chronic pain. I could not walk up the stairs or walk on my feet without crying in pain. Even going to sleep was a struggle and I really thought my life as I knew it was going to be over. I truly feared becoming wheelchair bound. After 4 weeks, I feel so much better! I feel such happiness being able to walk and go up and down stairs without that chronic pain! This is a start of a new beginning for me. I am so happy to have found this place as the people are amazing and friendly. I truly feel comfortable at MPR!” - Pauline C. “I had suffered from severe knee pain for seven weeks. I went to four different specialists without any relief. When I called, I was greeted by a genuinely understanding staff, schedules were rearranged and treatment was provided immediately. THANK YOU for helping me.” - Joann F.

Fulfill:
Continued From Page 20 currently receiving meals through Fulfill’s Hospital Partnership program. “After recently being in the Community Medical Center hospital for 31 days with pancreatitis and COVID, my mom was also sick with COVID from visiting me in the hospital,” he said. Cressen added, “preparing meals is just not possible right now. We would not be eating dinner if Fulfill wasn’t providing it. It is wonderful to know the support is here for people like us who are struggling,” Cressen said. “I am a person who was working at soup kitchens and now I am on the other side of the table and it could happen to any of us,” Cressen said. “I can’t thank Robin and Rob enough for sharing their story and putting a face on what we are doing here. Without your story we can’t keep raising funds and helping people,” Guadagno said. Guadagno explained the partnership program began quickly thanks to the Jules L. Plangere Jr. Family Foundation, the fi rst funder of this program. Guadagno thanked the foundation for its generous donation which made the launch possible. Additionally, donations of two retrofitted trucks to transport meals from the Wintrode Family Foundation and the Causeway Family of Dealerships will also help Fulfill meet the growing demand for food. Guadagno said Rob’s story led to interacting with Hackensack Meridian and CentraState. “As a foodbank we represent two counties pre-pandemic 36,000 people which in the last year has increased 40 percent. The cost of feeding those people has increased by 445%.” “We have started doing things that we thought we’d never have to do. Government shut everything down in March and there was no one to feed anyone except us. I have 57 employees who on a Friday
The Manchester Times, March 20, 2021, Page 27 heard that every soup kitchen, every feeding program every housing every domestic violence, every pantry was no longer in operation. They all came to work that following day. I didn’t ask them they just did.” Guadagno added, “if they hadn’t, we would not have served in a little less than a year 3.3 million more meals then we did at the same time last year. We would not have created the 125,000 meal boxes we have here. We had never done that and the employees made that happen.” She noted the importance of Fulfill’s fi nd food app which allows those in needs fi nd a food pantry. “Most wouldn’t know how to Google ‘pantry.’ We are the fi rst in the region where people can use this app to fi nd food pantries in your area and you can dial in to fi nd out when they are open. You dial ‘fi nd food’ and you put the zip code in and you fi nd a pantry.” Holman said, “Fulfi ll has truly made it a priority to fi nd those who have either fallen through the cracks or have never needed services before and simply don’t know how to fi nd them. This partnership has allowed us to fi nd those people in Ocean and Monmouth counties and to make sure that they are not only fed but they have access to all the social services that we can help them fi nd as well.” “Fulfi ll’s partnership started in November and since then we have identified and helped 100 families so far in this program. We have served over 10,000 meals in this program,” Holman added. Robinson said, “this pandemic and how it has effected everybody has transcended all aspects of society. Fulfi ll is not a hand out it is a hand up. It not only supplies the nutrition value that is needed but it is also a sustainability program. That is a big difference.” “We want to not only take care of the day we want to take care of their future and that is where Fulfi ll is really coming in,” Robinson added.

By Bob Vosseller BARNEGAT – It is a hidden historic treasure of Southern Ocean County and it was home to the last skirmish of the American Revolution - the Cedar Bridge Tavern. The pub, tucked away in the Pine Barrens, offers a glimpse into the past and Ocean County officials are well aware of its historical significance so they embarked on a multi-year project to preserve the Cedar Bridge Tavern. Their first step was to assemble a team of experts with an eye toward maintaining the historic accuracy of the structure.
Once that work was completed, the building was re-opened to the public. Visitors can view a variety of displays recreating a bygone era in county history. The culmination of this work resulted in Ocean County receiving one of the 29th Annual New Jersey Historic Preservation Awards. This year, there are a dozen projects receiving historic preservation achievement awards, and three individuals receiving historic preservation leadership awards from Preservation New Jersey. “The Cedar Bridge Tavern offers a unique window into the post-industrial forests of the New Jersey Pinelands,” said Ocean County Commissioner Virginia E. Haines, who also serves as chairwoman of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. “We have worked hand in hand with many individuals and agencies including the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation and the Ocean County (Restoration - See Page 29)

The award recognizes those exemplary and innovative projects and publications that contribute significantly to advancing the field of historic preservation and that promotes livable communities in the state. Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners Gary Quinn said, “this completed restoration project now stands as a historical showpiece in the County park system. As one of the most accurate and authentic restorations of this type of structure in New Jersey, we are proud to accept this award for a project that allows Ocean County to leave a legacy to future generations.” The historic tavern sits at an important 18th century crossroads of the east-west Old Springfield Road from Springfield in Burlington County to Manahawkin. It is also on the original stagecoach route from the west to the shore. The renovation project to the circa 1816 building with an 1830s kitchen addition was overseen under the direction of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, now called the Ocean County Board of Commissioners, the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation and its Cultural and Heritage Commission. The County bought the tavern on Dec. 27, 2007, granting the owner, Rudolph Koenig, a life estate until his passing in January 2012. The County then began the work of removing the non-historic elements from the home. Consultants and contractors were hired to renovate the tavern through funds provided in part by grants through the New Jersey Historic Trust. “This project began under the leadership of the late Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who was instrumental in advancing the renovations and preservation,” Haines said. “His hard work and dedication to the history of our county has been rewarded. This award is truly recognition of his love for history and for the county.” Annabelle Radcliffe-Trenner, principal

She designed the plans, managed the prequalification of contractors and oversaw the detailed and historically appropriate restoration work. Trenner said, “I am so happy that Cedar Bridge Tavern has been recognized for the award. This is a tribute to the
commitment to the highest level of historical preservation and sets a standard for others to reach.” The restoration project was the result of extensive architectural and archeological research that had resulted in the tavern being placed on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 2013. Ocean County celebrated the completion of the restoration at a ribbon cutting ceremony on April 1, 2019.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of mar 20 - mar 26 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Loads of energy could emerge as the week unfolds. You can either let circumstances rule you or take charge and rule them. Be an active mover and shaker and get things done. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Have faith in loved ones and remember that sharing is at the root of all thriving relationships. In the upcoming week, you might notice that you can only really relax when you are with your closest friends and partners. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Mismatched messaging could make a mess today. It may be difficult to be honest with the ones you love, but communications should be clearer later in the week. Focus on becoming more organized and efficient. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You could feel vulnerable if someone wants to know your secrets. A loved one is welcome to know everything about you, but you should hesitate to share confidential facts with a casual friend in the week to come. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There may be a cause that calls to your heart but might conflict with a loved one’s schedule. Just because someone encourages you to join an organization doesn’t mean it’s necessarily right for you this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Whether you meet a new business acquaintance or meet new people in a group setting, you may prefer to remain formal. The week ahead may offer the ability to form lasting friendships, but this could
also involve some duties. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your center of attention may shift to home and family as you seek to create a sense of security. During the week ahead, you may need to clear up a misunderstanding at the workplace before you can move on. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The week may begin with some crossed signals. Be decisive to make opportunities within your household pay off. Your hard work might make other people appreciate you more than usual. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might not hear what you need or want to hear today. Wait until later in the week to hold a family discussion. Continue to pay down outstanding bills or work on a money-making activity to achieve financial security. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today might not be the day to discuss your plans, because some people may not have the time or inclination to listen. Make important changes or launch key projects early in the week before your enthusiasm wanes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you set things right and learn the lesson, an error is just an opportunity to up your game. In the week ahead, you may learn that tried-and-true loyalty is more important than how many friends you have. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could jeopardize a friendship by being inaccurate or vague. Those you love may sense your romantic mood, but it could be difficult to convey your feelings. Focus on being more practical in the week ahead.
