Manchester Celebrates First Year Of Full Time EMS Service
Council: Change Marijuana Law Now
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Township officials are calling for the repeal of recent marijuana law that many police depar tments say “handcuffs” their ability to do their job. Manchester, along with Ocean County communities such as Jackson, Toms River, Seaside Heights and Berkeley is seeking repeal of the law amid calls for action among local governments and police and parents across the state. Officials and law enforcement representatives are pushing for clarity and reveals of certain portions of the marijuana law that currently prevents police from notifying parents about their children’s underage use of marijuana or alcohol. It also subjects

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Tow nship off icials, administrators of the township Division of Emergency Medical Service, Police Chief Lisa Parker and residents are marking the first year of service by the community’s new EMS program. Although much of
2020 was marked with numerous challenges resulting from the C OV I D -19 g l o b a l pandemic, Mayor Ken Palmer, Chief Parker, members of Council a nd EMS member s themselves could not be more pleased about the tremendous efforts made in making the program successful.
The EMS is headed by Captain Robert Dolan and EMS Director Robert Baran. Since it began, members have responded to 10,774 calls. Mayor Palmer noted during a recent council meeting that the staff of EMTs have proven to be an invaluable resource to the resi-
dents of Manchester Township. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the highly trained EMTs answered approximately 30 calls per day since March 2020 and had an average response time of just over seven minutes, a number that significantly beats the (EMS - See Page 4)
Lakehurst Faces Costs For Equipment, Building Repair
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – It isn’t used all that often but when it is needed, it is used extensively. That is how Councilman Gary Lowe described the borough’s backhoe. The backhoe, operated by members of the
April 10, 2021
borough’s Department of Public Works, has a problem. Last month Councilman Lowe reported to council that the aged vehicle was failing and that there appeared to be only two options going forward. Those options in-
cluded replacing the vehicle - that would be fairly costly - or swap out an engine for it wh ich wou ld prove more financially prudent. “We’re getting a second opinion. We may not have to replace it or replace the en-
gine. We’re looking at a third option,” Lowe said during a recent Council meeting. Councilman James W. Davis added, “our biggest problem down in that juncture (DPW) seems to be the backhoe oil consumption is bad.”

Davis said “I think we are better off with the devil we know.” He is opting to repower the backhoe with a new motor which would cost roughly $22,000. “It would cost us about $100,000 to get a new one.”

Heritage Water, New Meters Discussed By Officials
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – A resolution providing a credit to Heritage Minerals Corp. for off tract water facilities was passed at the most recent Township Council meeting. “This is for off-site water improvements that were made so these are for future connection fees/credits,” Township Clerk Sabina Martin said. Mayor Ken Palmer explained Heritage Minerals Corp. situation. “They ran a line that extended from the Crestwood line from our west side water company down Route 70. There was some construction down there about 18 months ago. They ran a line down from Whiting through 70 and the new fire hydrants along Route 70 are down through the Heritage Minerals tract. That is all new ground work that they did.” The mayor added, “some of that would obviously benefit the town so opposed to (Water - See Page 10)

national average. Of the nearly 11,000 calls, 96 percent were answered by the township’s EMS, while the others were handled by Manchester’s established mutual aid partners. This only occurred on rare instances when the EMS ambulances and crews were tied up handling other emergency calls. Chief Parker said “in the spirit of service and cooperation, our staff was able to reciprocate and assist our neighboring towns in need over 100 times during our first year. Although we will help our neighbor in need from time to time, our first priority is to the residents of Manchester Township. Our residents can rest assured that exemplary pre-hospital care will always be available in their time of need.” “When we began just one year ago, our EMTs, much like the rest of us, had no idea what was looming on the horizon. These polished and eager EMTs began serving our residents on a full-time basis just eight days before the COVID-19 pandemic struck New Jersey and began to impact our community,” she added. Chief Parker said, “during these uncertain times, our staff worked tirelessly to ensure that the needs of our residents were met and in the most professional manner possible. This entailed taking painstaking and oftentimes meticulous steps to ensure that their ambulances and gear were cleaned and sanitized and that they, themselves, were

properly equipped and outfitted to provide the highest level of care while engaging in the highest degree of safety.” “Serving on the front line during a pandemic has certainly been a challenge for our EMTs; however, they continue to serve our community fearlessly, knowing the risks involved. Despite this, they remain committed to serving our community professionally and compassionately, regardless of the risks,” Chief Parker added. The Division of EMS also implemented in its first year, a high quality training program that included acquiring National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians and Emergency Care and Safety Institute Training Center designations. Having that training has allowed the EMS to now be able to carry some of the most advanced patient care technology available, including LUCAS CPR Chest Compression Systems, albuterol nebulizer treatments, advanced simulation manikins, and isolation chambers for suspected COVID-19 patients. Chief Parker said that through working together “for the betterment of our community, our EMTs established the “Project PPE” program. This program is aimed at partnering the Division of EMS with not only members of the community but also local businesses and civic organizations to collect donations of masks and other PPE. These items are then re-distributed to local hospitals and healthcare workers.” The pandemic will not last forever and the township EMS is looking ahead to a time when it will no longer be present with

Law:
Continued From Page 1 police to criminal charges and revokes their immunity. “Concerning the recent developments on the state level on the regulation of recreational marijuana: Tonight, we passed a resolution urging the legislature amend the current law that stops police from acting to stop juveniles who illegally possess recreational marijuana,” Councilman Robert Hudak said. He added that he recently posted a letter on his Facebook page that he received from 30 th District Senator Robert Singer that outlines a lot of the effects that the new law would have in Jersey shore communities and also urges towns to pass similar resolutions. “I really would like the council to address the issue and I sent a number of copies of ordinances from what other towns have done and I’d like us to take a look at them in the very near future and see what possibilities are out there.” Councilman James Vaccaro has previously proposed the governing body develop regulations within the township that would prevent the sale and distribution of recreational marijuana. He said during the meeting that he supports measures that would repeal
The Manchester Times, April 10, 2021, Page 7 the current laws that followed the legalization of recreational marijuana passed last November. “Councilman Hudak gave us a very good run down of the pending townships and boroughs are handling marijuana. All I can say in summary is that I encourage you to please discuss a resolution banning the growth of marijuana within Manchester Township and very importantly banning the distribution of recreational marijuana in the township,” Vaccaro added. “We would join a growing list of municipalities and various gover nment agencies that are holding fast on this viewpoint that I have proposed to the members of council,” Vaccaro said. Energy And Security Councilman Vaccaro called once again for support of a 10-year energy master plan for Manchester that would add charging stations for electrical vehicles near the town hall. He noted a grant was recently approved by the State Department of Environmental Protection and Berkeley Township will now join areas that have charging stations like Toms River and the Forked River section of Lacey Township. “I conveyed this information to Rory Wells, who is the chairperson of the
Manchester Environmental Commission and that commission is now studying the electric charging stations for Manchester Township and the best locations in the township,” Vaccaro said. He added that grant funding and a 2022 budget recommendation had come forward from the Environmental Commission recently regarding a plan for the charging station and electric vehicles. Vaccaro also asked the council about “what safeguards are in place within the township to protect against cyber-attacks of our infrastructure of water and sewer, communications and inter net systems to protect our vital services of fire, police, EMS services.” Mayor Ken neth Palmer called for Joshua Schnoor who handles technical and internet matters of the township to address those concerns. Schnoor spoke about cyber security measures in Manchester stating, “we go through an audit every year and with the police with go through the computer justice information systems (CJIS) which is by the FBI and the state police each year. “Since I took over the police side, I extrapolated the CJIS protocols over to the township side which are stricter and what most townships go for. We also subscribe to a service and they
run, something above my pay grade, CIA-level inspections on ever ything that goes in and out of our township on the police side and I get notified within seconds if there is anything,” Schnoor added. Schnoor said, “we haven’t had anything that shows up on their scans. They do what is called a penetration test every year. They try to actually trick people in town hall to click on things that they shouldn’t click on and then he lets us know who our main offenders were and they track what would happen if something were to have been opened inside of our network and then we can make changes based on that.” Regarding the water infrastructure in the township, Schnoor assured Vaccaro that “none of that is currently connected to the internet. Water and sewer are not connected to the internet. I’m sure it will eventually go that way and we will extend the same measures in security when it gets to that point.” Outdoor Dining The township also looked at other legislation that extended the temporary outdoor dining permit through a resolution supporting a bill that extends all outside dining to 2022 which includes Alcohol Beverage Commission licensing.

Congressman Smith Backs Workers’ Rights At Shred-it
LAWRENCEVILLE – Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) joined workers as they kicked off an election to vote on forming a union at the Shred-It facility on Whitehead Road near the Lawrenceville-Hamilton border. According to Smith, employees are seeking union representation “out of an abundance of concern for health and safety protocols as well as a desire for better wages, pensions and other benefits, that motived them to seek representation by Teamsters Local 469.” Smith met with Shred-It workers - including one Hamilton man who was fired the day he and other workers gave notice to the management that they had filed for an election to form a
union - as well with Teamsters Local 469 President Fred Potter and Business Agent Christina Montorio at his congressional office for several hours on March 13. At the meeting, workers detailed what they felt was retaliation for their efforts to organize, and shared their fears regarding lax protocols and possible exposure to the coronavirus. Smith expressed his deep concern that Breaion Grissom of Hamilton appears to have suffered retaliation for his leadership in support of holding a union vote. “The dirty tactics used by the company to deny us of our right to form a union is backfiring. The day we announced that we had filed for a union election, I
was unjustly terminated. Management thought they could scare us, but it only made us stronger. We know better than to fall for their tricks, and we won’t stop until justice is won,” said Breaion Grissom, who was fired on Feb. 22 hours after a letter was submitted - bearing his name as a leader - to Shred-It management about their support for an election for a union. Smith said, “the National Labor Relations Act forbids employers from interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of rights relating to organizing, forming, joining or assisting a labor organization for collective bargaining purposes. The law is clear,” Smith continued.
“During the election, Shred-It must refrain from threatening job loss, layoffs, transfers, work reassignments or benefit reductions, and enable workers to exercise their Section 7 right to join a union free from intimidation and coercion.” The voting began through mail-in ballots and will last through April 14. Results will be tabulated and announced on or before April 28 by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Smith noted workers told him they received little support from management during the COVID epidemic and instead have needed to fight for proper personal protective equipment (PPE). “Some believe they
caught COVID on the job and were stunned when they were requested and permitted to return to their jobs before their quarantine was completed,” Smith said. After the March 13 meeting with workers, Smith wrote letters to the NLRB, the Shred-It facility on-site manager, and the President and CEO of Shred-It’s parent company, Stericycle. On March 24, the NLRB sent a letter to Smith confirming that an investigation into the allegations against Shred-It was underway and being conducted by NLRB’s Newark Regional Office. In part, the letter stated, “When the Newark Regional Office concludes its investigation, it will advise the charging
party, Teamsters Local 469, of the determination,” wrote Jeff Cruz, Director of the NLRB Office of Congressional and Public Affairs. “The Teamsters are committed to fighting for these workers’ right to organize. We are calling on Shred-it to put an end to the intimidation and retaliation of workers exercising their legal right to form a union for a better future. It is shameful and unlawful, and we refuse to stand for it. We demand a fair union election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board,” said Fred Potter, President of Teamsters Local 469, who was with Smith, Grissom, and other workers and union leaders.
Murphy: States Call For Elimination Of SALT Deduction Cap
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy led a coalition of Governors representing states targeted by the Trump Administration’s cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction, in sending a letter to President Biden calling for the elimination of the cap. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Oregon
Governor Kate Brown, and Hawaii Governor David Ige signed onto the letter calling on the Biden Administration to remove the cap and its associated burden and negative impacts on middle-class families in their states. “The SALT cap imposed on blue states by the previous administration was not based on policy, but rather revenge politics,” said Governor Murphy. “Before this cap, New
Jersey already paid far more to the federal government in taxes than it received. Now the disparity is even greater as middle-class families in New Jersey face a larger tax burden as they subsidize federal payments to other states. The Biden Administration must support Congressional efforts to eliminate this cap and bring fairness back to our tax system.” The full letter is below:
“Dear President Biden: “Thank you for your leadership during these unprecedented times. As more vaccines become available to Americans, there is a clear light at the end of the tunnel, and we look forward to a renewed sense of normalcy and optimism in our country. “Your administration has already taken incredible steps to ease the burden of more than a year of uncertainty caused by
a global pandemic, and for that we are grateful. The American Rescue Plan will help more than 160 million Americans with direct payments and provide our states with the resources to keep teachers and first responders on our payrolls. Rental assistance funds will help keep roofs over the heads of our most vulnerable and the funding for schools will help keep our students safe in their classrooms.
“We applaud those efforts to help our citizens. But we must go further and undo the cap placed on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions by the Trump Administration through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. For the first time since Abraham Lincoln created the federal income tax, the cap on SALT deductions established a system of double taxation, where 11 million (Murphy - See Page 30)

us paying the bill what we are going to do down the line is that when there is hook up fees for hook ups into the water system, we’ll take a credit.” It was at the township’s request that the lines were put in. “Route 70 is ultimately going to get paved. It was supposed to be at the end of last year but we got delayed obviously. They wanted to get that work in so they can open up that road but with the paving you can’t open the road for a period of time. That is something that the township and they have been working on for years,” the mayor added. Mayor Palmer said, “there was a water agreement but now it has been revised at least two times maybe three to provide for this water line.” In other related news, bills in the amount of $1,558,000.71 were approved for payment. Bills for the Eastern end of the township’s utility service area in the amount of $76,925.46 and the Western end of the utility service area in the amount of $138,886.15 were also approved. There was only one ordinance listed for second reading during the meeting and that involved creating and setting the salary range for a new job title which Martin said was a meter technician. Council Vice President Joan Brush, who ran the meeting in the absence of Council President Craig Wallis, said “we bought new water meters and we decided to bring a tech in house to save us a considerable amount of money.” A resident who moved to the township in November asked if the water meters would be replaced each year. He was told no, the meters would be maintained and were not expected to be replaced each year. He was assured that there was a benefit to having an inhouse technician to maintain the meters. “Our current meters are very old,” Councilman Sam Fusaro added prior to the ordinance being unanimously adopted by council. Listed within the consent agenda were two pairs of resolutions which went together. Martin explained one pair of resolutions concerned the painting of the township’s water tank. “Anything over a million dollars we are required to go to I-Bank and they require these resolutions as part of the process before we go out for the funding,” Martin said.
“The second two resolutions are both for the installation of the water meters. These are required resolutions,” Martin added. Land Sales Two land sales went forward during the recent Township Council meeting. Township Attorney Kelsey McGuckin Anthony explained the two lots were available for public sale. The first one was for property at 2643 Ridgeway Road. “All adjacent property officers have been notified.” The attorney called for bidders to come forward during the virtual Zoom meeting. No bidders came forward during the session. Township Clerk Sabina Martin said that her office had received a letter of intent to purchase the property and that was from Habitat for Humanity. “The bid for the purchase was $65,000 with a down payment of $6,500 which we received on March 3,” Martin said. That was the only bid received and the council voted to accept the offer. The second property was for 1525 Fourth Avenue. Bids were opened and no offer came in but Martin said an offer had been made to her office. That bid was from “a Mr. Maciunski for $10,000,” Martin said. The bid was accepted through a unanimous vote of the council. Other Business A recreation contract between Manchester and Hawaiian Luau Entertainment and a promotion agreement between the township and WJRZ FM were also approved. A state contract concerning the township’s copier systems was also approved. Also passed was a chemical supply bid for the township’s water utilities from Miracle Chemical Company. A service agreement between the township and a firm for the police department’s live scan equipment was included in the consent agenda vote. A shared services agreement with Ocean County was also part of the consent agenda. Martin said “that is for the removal and replacement of water mains along Colonial Drive Bridge. An agreement with Goose Control Technologies for goose control at Harry Wright Lake and Pine Lakes was also approved. Early in the session the Council approved the Mayor Ken Palmer’s annual proclamation honoring National Library appreciation week to be held during the first week of April.

Local Students “Change Hunger” With Food Drives
By Bob Vosseller NEPTUNE – Fullfill, the food bank that serves Ocean and Monmouth counties, awarded a Point Pleasant school for collecting the most food and funds in its division during a recent contest. “ T h i s ye a r h a s b e e n i nc r e d ibly challenging for schools in Monmouth and Ocean counties. As teachers and students navigated through virtual or hybrid learning, we were not sure if Students Change Hunger would happen this year,” CEO and President K im Guadagno said. Guadag no, the for mer Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey added, “it was a pleasant sur prise when 49 schools signed up and students, teachers, and parents did not let the pandemic stop them from their annual efforts of collecting food and funds to help feed our neighbors in need.” Memor ial Middle School in Point Pleasant was announced as the 2020 Heavyweight Champion of the Students Change Hunger Competition in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, to benefit Fulfill. The award was for collecting the most food and funds in its division. Guadagno announced the winning school du r ing a Zoom session with the principal, teachers, and students. Memorial Middle School was also the only school in Monmouth and Ocean Cou nties this year to joi n the Five Thousand Pound Club. Ranney School in Tinton Falls and Howel l M id d le S cho ol S ou t h a l s o placed in the top three schools. “Each school had to be creative and figure ways to hold COVID-friendly food drives. From online donation pages to drive-by food drop-offs, teachers and students managed to make an enormous impact providing 100,000 meals collectively in this competition to feed people in need at a time when donations are needed the most. Congratulations to all our winners and thank you for helpi ng us feed t he Jersey Shore!” Guadagno added. The statewide competition was organized by the Federation of New Jersey Food Banks, and ran from September 14, 2020 through December 18, 2020.

MANCHESTER – Manchester Township Elementary School is now an Ocean County COVID19 vaccination site. The site opened for staff vaccinations on March 26 and for public vaccinations on March 27. Manchester Schools Superintendent, David Trethaway, said that the district worked with the Ocean County Health Department, the township and the Manchester Township Education Association (MTEA) to bring the site to MTES. An army of volunteers from the Manchester Schools staff will help out with non-medical tasks at the clinics. MTEA President, Dan Staples said volunteers signed up in such overwhelming numbers for the first week that most of them had to be rescheduled to a later date. In return for their assistance, the Manchester school staff was able to get their shots at a special vaccine clinic for staff on March 26. “It was a momentous day for the Manchester Schools community,” said Staples.

“This is an excellent opportunity for us to give back to the community and provide much needed assistance for the most vulnerable senior population,” Trethaway said. “This truly is a win-win situation. The district was able to work with the Ocean County Board of Health to provide our staff an opportunity to receive the vaccinations as well as establishing a clinic in the district to provide the needed vaccine for our senior population in Manchester and throughout Ocean County. We appreciate the efforts of the Ocean County Board of Health in providing our staff with the vaccinations and opening a clinic with easy accessibility for our senior citizens. Additionally, our entire staff has always risen to the occasion when people needed help and this effort is no exception.” The MTES site will be open on Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings by appointment only. For more information, contact the office of senior services at 732-929-2091.

High School Students May Earn Certificates For Specialized Programs
MANCHESTER – Manchester Township High School students may be able to earn certificates for completing specialized programs of study under a new plan for next year. Principal Dennis Adams and Vice Principal Sarah Thiffault explained the proposed program at a recent Board of Education meeting. Adams explained that the certificate program would be an extension of the business and music department academy programs that were introduced last year. He said that Chorus Teacher Dwight Weaver and Business Teacher Nick Salvemini helped to create the program. Other subjects, like STEM and the arts, could be added as certificate programs in the future. “The certificate program is designed to recognize student achievement in a selected elective course of study through a rigorous pathway of courses, projects, and presentations,” Adams said. “It is our goal to provide students with a broad spectrum of experiences both in and out of the classroom. In doing so, students will be able to build career portfolios, network in their field of choice, build resumes, and make connections within the community.” Adams reviewed the certification pathway: Students must complete application/audition for entry into the certificated programs. Students must acquire credits to fulfill the program needs. Students must fulfill certificated program requirements (GPA, course work, volunteer, attendance, portfolio demonstra-
tion of skill mastery). There will also be specific extracurricular involvement. At the end of the specialized course of study pathway, students can apply for certification if they have completed all pathway requirements. Thiffault explained that students would have to do a capstone project and culminating presentation to demonstrate mastery and successful completion of the pathway. She said that students would present to a panel that would decide whether the student in question has reached all the requirements. Adams said the panel would include administrators, guidance counselors, teachers and community members, as well as professionals currently working in the field. Thiffault said that the program could also work in tandem with the school’s existing Structured Learning Experience, where students go out into the community and do internships. “This gives our kids that edge when they leave here. They’ve already done these internships and they have these portfolios, so when they’re in college or going into the workforce they already have something to present. We’re really giving our kids an edge.” Students who complete the certificate program would be recognized at senior awards night and graduation, Adams said. “What we want to do is to make sure our kids are career ready when they leave here and have experiences beyond the classroom,” Adams said.

Around The Jersey Shore Caregiver Spring Festival Is “Not Your Average Festival”
JERSEY SHORE – On April 16, Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, in collaboration with area performance groups and wellness practitioners, will host their first Caregiver Spring Festival. During this extended period of isolation, there has been limited space for caregivers to connect, not only with themselves, but with others in the community. As the communities continue to be vaccinated and slowly open back up, Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey wants to create a space that will bring our community together for a better tomorrow. The Caregiver Spring Festival creates a fun environment for caregivers to prepare for the new normal by providing educational selfcare information, creative engagement and entertainment. The virtual environment allows for caregiver’s community members, receivers and very own Caregiver Volunteers to all come together for an afternoon of joy, creation and collaboration while staying safe as we all continue on our way to herd immunity.
From 2 to 3:30 p.m., they will have performances by Red Bank Regional High School piano students, Count Basie Center for the arts, Broadway Bound Dance Centre, The AOK Performance Group, The Arc of Monmouth Broadcast Club and Exit 82 Theatre Company. From 3:30 to 5 p.m. they will have two 45-minute workshop sessions. The first session will be from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. and will include: ‘Songwriting 101’ with Chris Tomaino, ‘Meditation is for Everyone’ by Billi Jo Murphy and ‘Let’s Talk About Grief: a Workshop on Hope’ with Carol Strelic. The second session will be from 4:15 to 5 p.m. and will include: ‘Character and Movement’ with Chris Tomaino, ‘Radical Self-Care for Caregivers’ with Suzanne McMurray, ‘Gentle Chair Yoga’ with Adrienne Costa-DiPaolo and ‘Using Music to Enhance Life with Dementia’ with Fran Pannella. To register, contact Gabriella at gabriellaga@ caregivervolunteers.org

Continued From Page 1 “A motor is somewhere around $22,000 which is way more viable than a brand new machine,” he added. He also reported that he had a meeting with the director of the DPW regarding nuisance trees. “We are still waiting to hear back from the attorney on the letter that we are going to send out to residents to those who live on those streets. They have the option to opt out but we won’t be responsible later if anything happens.” The trees are causing damage to sidewalks in areas of the borough and are planned for removal but some residents have voiced that they wish to keep the trees in place. In another matter Davis said that “we have gone out for our third estimate for a new roof on Borough Hall.” He also said work is being done for new rest rooms. Councilman Robert McCarthy reported about the school district’s adoption of its $9 million spending plan during a Board meeting of March 16. “At this point the proposed budget is a total of $9,836,527. The town tax levy, our responsibility, at this point would be $1,246,203 with an additional debt service of $105,040 with a total of $1,351, 243 that is up approximately $25,000 from last year.” “No explanation was offered,” McCarthy said in reference to the school district’s reduction of state aid funding. He said single district schools like Lakehurst’s could be targets by the state for “forced school district consolidation. They hit several district’s very hard,” McCarthy added. Council President Steven Oglesby noted Toms River was one of the district’s hurt hard by the S-2 state aid funding formula this year. “This will be a slow bleed but I think we will be bleeding right along with them,” he said. The adoption for the school budget will be April 28 at 7 p.m., McCarthy added. The meeting will take place at the Lakehurst Elementary School. He said as of March 30, “the school had
The Manchester Times, April 10, 2021, Page 15 returned to all virtual learning due to an uptick in cases (of the coronavirus) of staff and students and there is a hope that when students and staff return from the spring break they will be corralled and there won’t be a large influx from the vacation.” McCarthy noted that the school district was still serving breakfast and lunch while in virtual instruction mode and that pre-school would be remaining remote due to staffing conditions. He said the school district’s March bills came to $338,921.68. He also noted some news from the borough’s fire department that there will be a mutual aid drill on May 1 starting at 8:30 a.m. until noon. “What they will be trying to do is recreate on one of our larger structures on Union Avenue such as a big Victorian home or a god forbid the school, a large water pumping scenario.” Resident Bruce Morrison asked about the status of the Council’s plan to address overcrowding at the borough’s Horicon Lake noting last season that it had gotten “mobbed.” Oglesby said the council was working to make sure that the same situation would not happen this season and would be taking efforts with restricted parking as opposed to a lake beach badge that would have to be applied to residents and non-residents. “We looked at parking for what I think will be a viable solution,” Oglesby said. He said that the restrictions to be introduced would provide police tools and that lifeguards who already have enough to do focusing on the safety of the lake would only need alert police “should they see the Lake being full.” Lowe also reported to the council that the police department was also asking about the upstairs area of a borough owned facility for a gym. “Initially we had considered that but there might be a hazard in putting all that equipment upstairs so perhaps we can block off one of the bays and utilize the free gym equipment that has been given to us. It would be a shame not to use it. We’ll talk about it again but we need to look at it,” Lowe said.

Around The Jersey Shore Police: No Arrests From Supposed “Maskless Shopping Event”
By Chris Lundy FREEHOLD – Local police said that there were no problems reported at the Freehold Raceway Mall when a “Maskless Shopping Event” was advertised online. The flyer advertising the event called for it to take place on Saturday, March 27. One version cited the organizers as Patriot Party NJ, online sources said. “There was a minimum police presence, no arrests were made and no issues were reported triggering police action,” Freehold Capt. Daniel F. Pasquinucci said. A request for comment from the Mall was not returned as of press time. A reporter asked about the event at a press conference on March 24, where Gov. Phil Murphy and Col. Patrick Callahan of the NJ State Police said they were aware of the issue. Murphy called it a “ridiculous flyer” that he was “extremely unhappy” about it. The governor said that it puts retail employees in a difficult, possibly unsafe position. “They’re not law enforcement,” Murphy said of the workers who have been enforcing mask protocols. He said it was wrong “to put them in a position to make the guy or gal at the door (con-
front) some knucklehead who’s trying to make a political statement” and perhaps risk either a physical confrontation or losing a customer during a time when businesses are struggling. Callahan said the State Police and other authorities on down to the local department are aware of it. This included the State Department of Homeland Security. Freehold Police told various news outlets that they have been in touch with mall security and have received numerous calls about this. A local resident asked the Freehold Mall on Facebook if they knew about the “superspreader event” that was planned. The Freehold Raceway Mall responded “This is an unsanctioned event. Please be aware that Freehold Raceway Mall is a private property and enforces a Code of Conduct as well as all state and local health and safety orders. That said, masks are required to visit the mall and we also ask that everyone respects the individual store and restaurant policies that require masks as well. We are in close communication with law enforcement in regards to this event.” Currently, stores are limited to 50% capacity and face masks are required for all.

How This Highly Precise Procedure is Making Knee Pain a Thing of the Past... TREATMENT COVERED BY MOST MAJOR HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS, INCLUDING MEDICARE People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medication before seeking help from a doctor. Physical Therapy sometimes helps, sometimes not. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option. Before you put yourself through months of immobility, potentially more pain, and hefty medical bills, consider something else. The Proper Treatment Begins with Advanced Imaging for Precise Diagnosis They key to effectively fixing a knee pain problem is start with an accurate diagnosis. That’s why we’ve invested in Advanced Imaging Technology called Video Fluoroscopy (VF). This technology is a video X-ray in real time! Together with your doctor, you will view a live image of the inside of the knee. Your doctor will clearly explain exactly what is causing your pain, and the precise treatment approach to fix it. Jersey Shore’s Top Notch Knee Treatment Facility with 5 Convenient, Five Star Locations At Monmouth Pain, offering knee pain relief is a daily event. Knee pain accounts for greater than a quarter of our patient care every day. Do you struggle walking? Is going up and down stairs a struggle? Continue reading if you would like help… Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do? What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain free mobility? We are pleased to announce… you don’t need to wait any longer to get the most precise procedure to sweep knee pain under the rug.
An All-Natural Lubricant Again, using Advanced Imaging Technology our medical team will administer the all- natural lubricant – referred to as Viscosupplementation – with pinpoint precision. The Viscosupplementation provides lubrication and tempers the friction within the joint to reduce the bone-on-bone sensation, reduce pain, and increase mobility. The precision and accuracy of the image-guided injection ensures that the gel like fluid is injected directly into the joint capsule for optimal results. 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.

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!”
Who is a Candidate for This Treatment Program? Do you wake up with knee pain? Does your knee pain keep you from certain activities? Have you been told you need a knee replacement?

“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.

Does Your Bff Need Hearing Help?
If you wear hearing technology, you’ve probably already experienced the liberating sense of independence that can come with it. But what if you have a friend or family member who’s not quite ready to confront their own hearing loss? Only a fraction of the millions of people with hearing difficulties actually seek help. One consumer advocacy group’s 2018 survey* cited as the top three reasons: cost, lack of hearing testing, and embarrassment. Let’s tackle each one of them to help you help your loved one take action! COST Today’s hearing aids not only deliver clear sound and easy audio streaming but — depending on the device — can also track brain and body health, automatically adjust to different listening environments, and more. They’re an investment in better health, but solutions such as financing options, potential insurance coverage, and diverse budget-friendly technology levels can make a difference. With research linking hearing loss to other conditions such as cognitive decline, the consequences of Procrastination could prove an even bigger cost. Our Staff strongly advises that you stay away from any mail order company that just sends you hearing aid devices to your home without any hearing evaluation/test. Imagine purchasing a set of eye glasses without the company knowing your vision prescription! TESTING Regular audiological exams are an important part of hearing health, yet 30% of participants in
the consumer survey went over a decade without a hearing test — or never had one. That’s a lot of folks potentially unaware of the state of their ears and possible problems that could be addressed. The good news? Hearing exams are painless and empowering. Plus, the earlier any potential hearing loss is addressed, the better it is for overall health. EMBARRASSMENT People want to hear their best without their devices being obvious — but try spotting today’s near-invisible hearing aids. With styles that fit deep in the ear canal or snugly behind the ear, plus colors to match individual preferences, it’s easy to hear confidently and discreetly. Seeing is believing, however, so consider showing off your own device’s subtle fit. Also, your loved one may be able to test-drive some of our exciting — and inconspicuous — technology. If your loved one needs hearing care, we’re here to help with compassionate staff and three convenient offices. Call us at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/ Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin).

Causes and Solutions for Dysphagia
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Many seniors experience dysphagia which is the term for people who have difficulty swallowing their food or pills. Initially it appears as a frequent need to clear your throat, or a hoarse voice. It may be that you feel like coughing or choking while eating or talking, and sometimes there is regurgitation of food. Most people report fullness, pressure or a burning sensation in the chest (sternal) area while eating. Left untreated, it may lead to other complications like a more chronic cough, choking sensation, malnutrition or respiratory infection. In serious cases, food may be aspirated and result in pneumonia which then requires hospitalization. Most everyone has experienced the sensation of dysphagia at one time or another. It can happen by simply eating too large a bite, or not chewing enough. A swallowing issue may be felt if you have a dry mouth, or if you swallow while lying down or even laughing or talking. To resolve simple cases of dysphagia, you should eat smaller meals that include softer food, and chew well. Eliminating caffeine, tobacco and alcohol helps too. But if the swallowing difficulty is more chronic and serious, dysphagia treatment is required. Treatments vary for each individual and hinges on many factors such as age, severity and underlying conditions. Sometimes people develop dysphagia rather suddenly. When I worked in the nursing home setting, we saw this frequently occur with new admissions who were started on medications that induced the dysphagia. Their loved ones didn’t realize what was happening either, but in some cases, a new medication can give a loved one dysphagia. Sometimes it’s related to a drug side effect, and oftentimes the medication can be switched to something else that does not induce dysphagia. I have a much longer
version of this article available with lengthy lists of medications that induce dysphagia. To receive, this please sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you. In the meantime, here are are the most common medications that induce dysphagia: Sedatives - for example alprazolam or clonazepam Analgesics for pain - codeine, fentanyl, oxycodone, Muscle Relaxers - cyclobenzaprine or tizanidine Neuroleptics - haloperidol, lithium, olanzapine, quetiapine and others Bone building drugs - alendronate and others Many antibiotics - doxycycline, clindamycin and others NSAIDS - ibuprofen, naproxen and others Aspirin Asthma medications Immunosupressants Antidepressants One other reason people have dysphagia is that they’re forced to swallow big pills and then they vomit them back up! And if that happens, the person now has caustic stomach acid refluxing into the delicate esophageal tissue. The use of acid blockers like famotidine and demulcents (slippery elm or marshmallow) can bring immediate relief, and may prevent your loved one from having a tube inserted unnecessarily because it looks like they’ve suddenly developed dysphagia. In my field, we have a saying, “History, history, history!” If someone takes a good history and finds out exactly when the dysphagia started, you might be able to see the cause. Once that is pin-pointed, the proper treatment can be given. I have a longer version of this article which you can receive via email after signing up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Easter Weekend Serves As Symbol Of Spring Renewal In Seaside By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – A holiday tradition returned during Easter weekend on the borough’s boardwalk. The holiday weekend saw the return of what resembled the old normal in the shore area - but it did include masks and other state guidelines and restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The borough’s Business Improvement Association held a full schedule of offerings over the weekend which unofficially kicks off the beginning of the season for many boardwalk businesses. There was a provided a virtual version of the annual Easter Egg Hunt, a popular event for children and parents for generations. It continued this year on Saturday and
Sunday. Egg Hunt participants were able to hunt at their leisure from noon to 5 p.m. on April 3 and on Easter Sunday. The free child-oriented event featured “C-Side the Easter Rabbit” who offered clues and encouragement throughout the quest for eggs. Families scanned QR codes so that way
they didn’t have to touch anything other than their smartphone. Participants filled out an entry online and will be mailed at least one prize coupon. Prizes provided by the coupons range from one-day beach badges, to slices of pizza, to arcade game play. Egg hunters could even enter for a bonus prize drawing by submitting a photo of their Hunt group with one of the egg posters. The hunters were requested to visit exit82.com/egghunt before they lef t their home in order to access complete instructions and a guide that they could download, print, and carry with them during the hunt. The annual Easter Promenade, an Easter tradition on the boardwalk for decades, was not held due to the pandemic. Mayor Anthony Vaz and members of the borough council were in front of the Webster Avenue Lifeguard Headquarters directing people to pick up free flowers on a table. “We can’t hand out the flowers because of the restrictions so we are telling people to pick them from the table. It is still a good day and great to see so many people up here enjoying the day,” Vaz said. The mayor recalled Easter celebrations of the past which featured sunny weather and sometimes some chilly winds that called for the Promenade judges to have to cover up with blankets to warm up for the judging. Mayor Vaz said he was looking forward to next year’s event which should be COVID-19 pandemic restriction free and would include all the usual activities. There was one visual reminder via an electronic billboard sign that dogs were no longer allowed on the borough’s boardwalk or beaches in the offseason. The borough recently banned dogs from the boardwalk and beach after a buildup of complaints by residents and tourists as well. Those who do bring their canine friends to the borough’s oceanfront will face fines in the amount of $100 at minimum and $1,250 at maximum. Another part of the holiday weekend was the return of the annual Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach big pre-season ticket sale. Many Pier attractions were also open. Season beach badges were available for purchase during the weekend.

Around The Jersey Shore New Bill Could Fix A Marijuana Legalization Loophole By Chris Lundy TRENTON – As lawmakers figure out how to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, those who enforce the laws found their decision had some major issues. One of the most significant was that officers were no longer allowed to act on the presence of marijuana or alcohol on a minor. Even though the legalization is for adult use only, the law as it is currently written prevents police from notifying parents or guardians if a juvenile is using. Saying that the law is “handcuffing” police, officers and elected officials have been calling upon Trenton to immediately change the law so that the problems could be fixed. After the public outcry, several lawmakers vowed to make a change. S-3565, introduced by Senator Vin Gopal, “requires law enforcement to provide written notification to parent or guardian of person under age 18 who commits first offense of unlawfully possessing or consuming alcoholic beverage, cannabis, marijuana or hashish.” It goes into more detail than this, obviously. The full bill can be found here: njleg.state. nj.us/2020/Bills/S4000/3565_I1.PDF This bill will likely not address all of the issues that police officers have with the new rules. Police chiefs had made statements to the public listing the faults of the current legislation. Many of them shared the same format for the letters. “Governor Phillip Murphy signed three laws which decriminalized marijuana and set out orders to have previous convictions and/or pending cases dismissed. This was expected as a majority of New Jersey residents voted to have marijuana legalized in the state. What was not expected was for parents to be denied access to information regarding their child’s marijuana or alcohol use,” Point Pleasant Beach Chief Joseph A. Michigan said. “Unlike the state of New Jersey, we believe parents deserve and need to know when their children are in dangerous situations, so we are outlining the changes to the laws,” he said. The letter contained a list of changes that police officers have to follow: “The odor of marijuana or alcohol no longer constitutes reasonable articulable suspicion to initiate a stop of an individual under the age of 21, nor does it provide probable cause to search the person’s personal property or vehicle. “The unconcealed possession of an alcoholic beverage or marijuana that is observed in plain sight shall not constitute probable cause to initiate a search of an individual under the age of 21 or that individual’s personal property or vehicle to determine a violation of any law. “An individual under the age of 21 who possesses marijuana or alcoholic beverages shall not be arrested, detained, or otherwise taken into custody except to the extent required to issue a written warning. “For an individual under the age of 21 who possesses marijuana or alcoholic beverages as
a first offense, this new law forbids officers to contact a parent or guardian.” “Reviewing the new policy, what presents itself as most problematic is the inability to freely communicate with parents,” Toms River Police Chief Mitch Little said. Police usually implement non-punitive measures for most juvenile offenses, including underage alcohol or marijuana use, he said. Formal charges are often a last resort. “To apply this to a real-life situation, if an officer sees a 12-year-old (or a juvenile of any age) consuming alcohol or smoking marijuana, we CANNOT contact the juvenile’s parent/guardian unless this behavior has been previously documented,” he said. “In the event officers do approach based on odor or plain sight, they will be the ones facing charges NOT the juveniles.” Further, there have been no set standard for recording the first offense. “This law undermines departmental efforts to communicate with our parents, school districts, and communities to protect our children collaboratively,” he said. “Who will ensure the welfare our children, if the police can neither act nor contact a parent or legal guardian? “The greatest strengths we had as law enforcement officers was our ability to foster positive relationships and build trust within the communities we serve. We accomplished that by immersing ourselves into our communities and dedicating our entire careers building that trust. With one signature on this poorly written law, we all will watch this public trust deteriorate, as well as the quality of life in our communities,” he said. “This law in its present form essentially ‘legalizes’ marijuana and alcohol use for minors. This legislation turns our kids into innocent collateral damage in the quest for social justice,” he said. The Gopal legislation still has police officers as committing a crime if, for instance, they search a juvenile’s person or property while suspecting drug use.

Around The Jersey Shore Marine Officials Warn BeachGoers To Avoid Seals
By Alyssa Riccardi BR IGA N TI N E – With the Jersey Shore being in the midst of seal season, marine off icials are reminding beach-goers to stay a safe distance away from the animals. T h e M a r i n e M a m m a l St r a n d i n g Center (MMSC) stated that recently there have been several cases of people and their dogs getting far too close to seals, endanger ing the seals and themselves. Accord i ng to of f icials, seals a re federally-protected animals under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The law states it’s illegal to disturb a seal’s natural behaviors. “Seals haul out on land to get
much-needed rest after hunting and swimming long distances. The presence of people and dogs nearby causes stress and may force a seal back into the water before it is ready,” they said. Off icials have also found recently that many amateur and professional photographers have been posting photos and videos on social media groups. I n t hese pict u res you ca n see t hey were taken at a close distance which reveals the exact locations of resting animals on the beach. This resulted in attracting crowds around resting seals and causing further disturbance and harassment of the animals. There was even a video going around of someone touching a seal. MMSC have had to relocate numerous healthy seals to remote beaches due to the fact that they are constantly being bothered by people and off-leash dogs. At their Brigantine facility, MMSC are currently taking care of two seals. Fou ndi ng Di rector Bob Schoel kopf states that although it’s not uncommon to have seals coming into their fa ci l it y du r i ng t h is t i me, t hey a re rehabilitating less seals than average for this time of year. But the facilit y has been receivi ng sig nif icantly more calls for sightings. The Center is anticipating calls to increase as the weather becomes war mer with more people visiting the beach. The MMSC states it’s important to re me mb e r t h at se als a re pre d at or s with shar p teeth and will not hesitate to bit e. Seals ca r r y com mu n icable diseases that can be passed on to you or your dog. If you spot a seal or other marine mammal on the beach, off icials state you should: • Contact the MMSC immediately by calling 609-266-0538 • Stay at least 150 feet away from the a n i mal (t he leng t h of t h ree school buses) • Keep dogs away from the animal • Neve r p ost locat ion s of seals on social media The Marine Mammal Stranding is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick and injured marine mam mals. The staff and volunteers f rom the MMSC have responded to more than 5,600 calls for seals, dolph i n s , wh ale s a nd se a t u r tle s t h at washed ashore along all of New Jersey’s beaches.

ESL Family Night A Star-Studded Event
TOMS RIVER – The English as a Second Language (ESL) Department hosted its second district-wide virtual family night on March 25. Families were invited to attend a live-streamed space show hosted by “Captain Cara,” (also known as Cara Muscio, Planetarium Director) from the Robert J. Novins Planetarium at Ocean County College. Students were amazed as they learned about the planets, cultural significance of the constellations, and the recent explorations of Mars with NASA’s space rover, Perseverance. Following the “Stars In My Backyard” show, students and their families joined teachers for a Google Meet where they created their own constellations and tested their space knowledge with a competitive game of KAHOOT. “It was great to see so many families come together to connect with one another, with teachers, and with the community,” World Languages Supervisor Adrienne Gold said.

Around The Jersey Shore County: New Voting System Will Make Elections Cost More
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – What a difference a year makes. Last year due to the coronavirus health crisis primary elections were done through the mail with special ballot boxes set up across the state. Live voting was limited for November’s general election and primarily included voting by mail. This year’s election process will look different but workers of the County’s Board of Election only have a few months to train staff, buy new voting machines and plan for large areas of space to store records. Before that county officials need to select a voting system to meet the requirement of 10 days of early voting thanks to a measure approved recently by Governor Phil Murphy. Members of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners discussed the matter during a recent Board meeting but many questions remain as to how the new systems will be put into effect along with new rules and methods of record keeping. Commissioner Virginia Haines noted that this was a “big change” for the county and that she and County Administrator Carl Block learned a lot of the expectations on counties during a recent trip to Trenton where they got a briefing on the new law. The county will go from mail-in only to a system of early voting and it is a rush job that county clerks and elections officials will have to adapt to quickly, according to Haines. The change faced criticism from county officials throughout the state, and some wanted the changes implemented next year to allow for more transition time. One idea that was rejected was a proposal to start the early voting as a pilot program in one state’s smaller counties as opposed to implementing it immediately. Haines said she favored the pilot program idea over what was decided. Under the new law, each county will be mandated to establish between three and seven polling places where machine voting can occur for a period of nine days. Early voting would end two days prior to the
general election which is always held on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. Following that the county would need to go back to the established polling system for regular voting. The plan could cost counties in the Garden State millions of dollars in having to purchase the new voting machines, electronic cards, security and staffing as well as recording equipment. An estimate of the exact cost is not available yet but a figure of $77 million is the price tag estimated by the Office of Legislative Services which is a nonpartisan body. Normally, poll workers are hired to work one day in June for the primary election and one day in November for the general election but the new plan calls for workers to be paid for 10 days in October as well. As to who is fitting the bill for that additional cost is unknown but County officials want to know. The plan would create an entirely new voting system where voters would check in at several voting stations within a polling location and receive an electronic card resembling a hotel room key. They would then cast their vote and return the card to a polling worker who would reprogram it for the next voter. All machines and the records produced would be impounded and protected by law enforcement until the general election was finished. Records would have to be secured for three years. Secretary of State Tahesha Way, whose office oversees the initiative and Democrat activist Stacey Abrams joined the governor for the introduction of the new law. There are four models of voting machine for counties to chose from. It was noted that in utilizing new technology with early voting a new system would be used that county staff and voters are not accustomed to. Also recognized was the short amount of time that exists between the time new voting equipment will be delivered and the election itself.

Murphy:
Continued From Page 9 Americans were forced to pay taxes on the amount they paid in State, local, and property taxes, to the tune of $670 billion over a decade. “Like so many of President Trump’s efforts, capping SALT deductions was based on politics, not logic or good government. This assault disproportionately targeted Democratic-run states, increasing taxes on hardworking families. This was unacceptable then, and is simply untenable given the dire economic conditions caused by the pandemic. “In 2019, Governors came together to form a coalition of States to fight for tax fairness to overturn the artificial cap on SALT deductions. In New York and California, taxpayers are each being forced to pay more than $12 billion in additional taxes to the federal government annually. In New Jersey, taxpayers are forced to pay the federal government approximately $3 billion a year in additional taxes. In Hawaii, taxpayers are forced to pay an extra $370 million in additional
taxes. In Connecticut, which pays more to the federal government and receives back less per capita than any other state in the nation, taxpayers paid $1.3 billion more in additional federal income taxes because of the SALT cap. Several states commenced litigation against the constitutionality of the law. The cases are still pending. “In short, middle-class Americans are struggling under this federal tax burden, while corporations – which are still able to fully deduct SALT as business expenses – are profiting because of the same law. The negative impacts of the SALT cap on middle class families are particularly egregious when you consider that in the states most affected by this cap, the federal government already takes more in federal taxes than the states receive in federal support, effectively subsidizing federal payments to other states. “It was heartening to hear Treasury Secretary Yellen agree to work with Congress to ease the $10,000 cap on SALT recently. On behalf of our residents, we urge your administration and Congress to continue these efforts to relieve this immense financial burden on our residents and eliminate the SALT cap entirely.”

HS East Comes Together Through Storytelling and Food
TOMS RIVER – Share.Ea(s)t.Repeat was a community initiative at High School East that focused on creating positive connections between staff and students through one topic that unites everyone: food. “We all like to eat, behind every family favorite there’s a story and stories are meant to be shared,” HSE senior Rose Zahler said. “When we share and listen to each other, our community becomes stronger.” Multiple clubs and organizations at High School East joined forces to curate a collection of recipes and the wonderful stories behind them. The stories and recipes were shared with the entire community throughout the month of March. The French Club, East Ambassadors, Interact Club, Key Club, PE Department, National Honor Society and
the Spanish & Hispanic Heritage Clubs all participated in the initiative. The recipe and the story gathering process sparked lively conversations between community members, staff, and students alike, who were also able to review each other’s recipes and connect on a more personal level. “This project has a special meaning for a senior like me considering the different challenges we had to overcome this school year,” Zahler added. “This community ‘cookbook’ is not only a wonderful reflection of our culturally diverse backgrounds and something that we cherish collectively, but it’s also a wonderful memory of my senior year and it will come in handy as I’m headed off to college, transitioning into adulthood and starting to cook more.”

Around The Jersey Shore Funds Available To Help With Rent Payments
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Those seeking help in paying their rent due to setbacks caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are urged to contact the Ocean County Residential Emergency Rental Assistance Program. Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners Gary Quinn said, “we know that 2020 posed many challenges for all of us and many of our residents are having a difficult time making ends meet and keeping a roof over their heads due to COVID-19.” “This emergency rental assistance program will help our low- and moderate-income families in their efforts to keep a roof over their heads and to assist their landlords,” Quinn added. Applications for the program started on April 7. The online application can be accessed from the Ocean County website at co.ocean.nj.us. Click on View Residential Emergency Rental Assistance Program for information and the application. Quinn said that Ocean County residents can currently find preliminary information on the County website and can access it to prepare for the application. “We will continue to add information to the web page as we move closer to the application opening date.” “This program has been set up to help only Ocean County residential renters and landlords. This grant will cover up to six months back rent and will help our young families and our seniors that have been having a very difficult time because of this pandemic,” Quinn added. The Ocean County Board of Commissioners is sponsoring the program and utilizes an $18 million grant from the Treasury Department to help residents catch up on their back rent. The program includes a maximum grant total of $10,644 and will be paid directly to the landlord. Quinn said that it was “paramount that we make every effort to help our residents maintain housing stability. When you experience
the concern about losing the roof over your head, it is difficult to keep on track with a daily routine.” All applicants are required to certify that they have not received assistance from the N.J. Department of Community Affairs’ program or other rental assistance programs prior to receiving benefits from the County’s program. The county’s program is not related to the current program being run by the state Department of Community Affairs. Another provision for applicants is that they must show that their income does not exceed the Area Median Income limits and that they were unable to pay their rent due to COVID-19 pandemic. Income limits are listed on the web page. Quinn added, “you will also need to provide a current lease/rental agreement and provide all required documents for your application to be considered complete.” The participation of the applicant’s landlord is also required. They must provide information for the rental assistance payment. Tenants and landlord applicants are encouraged to work together to receive funds quickly, if approved. Landlords can also apply on behalf of tenants. “Funding is limited so we encourage our residents to apply early. We will be announcing soon where help for filling out applications will be available,” Quinn said. Quinn said that the county is working “with our human services and social services agencies with getting information out about this program. This has been an ongoing partnership with a number of county agencies starting with our Ocean County Commissioners to get our residents the help they really need.” The official warned that while an application is not a guarantee of assistance, it’s important that our residents know help is available. Help will also be available through the Ocean County Residential Emergency Rental Assistance Program call center starting April 5. The number is 833-753-9671.

This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft. Monitor your Account Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution. Review Credit Reports By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). You can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport. com, by phone or mail. Any site other than annualcreditreport.com is not part of
the legally mandated free annual credit report program. Make sure you spell the annualcreditreport.com domain name correctly and avoid lookalike scam sites. Place a Freeze A credit freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit file and others from opening accounts in your name. A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account. Set a fraud alert! A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free. You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of APR 10 - apr 16 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life is good, so enjoy it while you can. Avoid disputes with family members in the week to come and everything else should go your way. Use your people skills to both avoid and handle problems. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may find it challenging to operate on blind faith alone. During the week ahead, you may want to see concrete results. Focus on making your dream of the future a reality despite opposition. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You and a partner or loved one can dream about a future that can realistically be attained. Discuss plans in the upcoming week and take the initial steps to make your joint ventures a success. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be willing to sacrifice some things to get something you want, but you could also be tempted to take a shortcut. Be sure to live up to ethical standards in the week to come. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take business and financial ambitions off the back burner and make your move in the upcoming week. There could be a fairy godmother on standby just waiting for an opportunity to help you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may hesitate to begin anything different or unusual in the week ahead, but if you overcome your reservations, you’ll likely be able to make more money. An impulsive decision now could be the right one.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t be bashful about sharing your enthusiasm in the week ahead. Listen to excellent advice that helps you improve your life. An off-color joke or rude remark could offend someone’s sensibilities. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There may be plenty of competition at the workplace or even within your family, which might make you uncomfortable. If you are making money, there’s no reason not to be generous as the week unfolds. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This could be a week when your dreams can come true. You may be swept up in wishful thinking but also see a practical way to have those wishes answered. Focus on expressing your creativity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As this week unfolds, if something doesn’t go your way, try, try again. It may be tempting to lose your temper, but you’ll go further if you remain calm and don’t sweat the small stuff. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Perseverance means going ahead with something, despite failures, until you succeed. Each failure can teach you something important in the week to come. Failing upward is the path to success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There may be many demands on your budget when you least expect them. Maintain a cool head in the week ahead and remain generous even if someone asks for more than their fair share.
