By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – It may have been the most well-known airship disaster in history, but the Hindenburg’s destruction on the airfield of what was then, the Lakehurst Naval Air Station was a reminder of man’s indomitable spirit to move higher in the sky. During the 84th anniversary of the airship disaster held at the airfield site at Joint Base McGuire-Fort Dix-Lakehurst, Captain William M.

$9.8 Million School Budget Adopted By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Board of Education members unanimously approved their 2021-2022 spending plan for the borough’s school district. Taxes to be raised for the general fund are $1,246,203. Debt service payments will be $105,040. So the total taxes will be $1,351,243. The total budget will be $9,836,527. Business Administrator Barry Parliman said that state aid for the district had been reduced. He said it had gone from $1 million to $450,000 last year. “The tax levy went up by $24,435. Our impact revenue aid went down by $100,000. That is partially due to student count and partially due to cuts in the federal government,” Parliman said. He added, “this is the first time in two years we’ve used any budgeted fund balance (surplus). We are getting back on our feet. Due to COVID it left some expenditures unused. We also had to use some money left over from this year to make this budget.” Parliman also said this year $75,284 were left over in the preschool accounts “which helped build next year’s teacher salaries and extra things that need to be done in that wing and support personnel. That wing needs to be humidified and there are things that go into it.” He noted Manchester tuition for “our 8th grade graduating class went up $253,111. That eats up a lot of what we appropriated out of surplus. The only way we accommodated the (Budget - See Page 11)

Hindenburg: Continued From Page 1
Activity Lakehurst spoke about that spirit of aerial exploration. The ceremony proved as much an acknowledgement of man’s continued perseverance to break new barriers in air and space as it was look back to the past and the fateful event that took the lives of crew members and passengers of the DLZ-129. The event was hosted by the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Captain Sherrod recalled the loss of another airship, the USS Akron which operated from 1931 to 1933. It was destroyed in a thunderstorm off the Jersey coast on April 4, 1933 killing 73 of the 76 crewmen and passengers and involved the greatest loss of life in any airship crash. “It was a national disaster according to President (Franklin D.) Roosevelt. Whereas ships can be replaced, the nation can ill afford to lose such men who died upholding to the very end the fi nest traditions of the Naval service,” Sherrod said. “Despite these dangers, known to man, why do they persist? Up, up along delirious burning blue atop the wind-swept heights of easy grace…the sanctity of space, I put out my hand and touch the face of God. That is why we fly, that is why we risk and that is why we dare. Whether they operate the machines, maintain the ma-
chines, design the machines or they ride the machines all who dare are remembered here today.” The guest speaker of the evening was Dr. Horst Schirmer who has frequently appeared at the annual anniversary ceremonies. His father was an engineer for the Hindenburg. Prior to the ceremony he told The Manchester Times, “I once took a flight on the Hindenburg. I was born in 1931 and the Hindenburg was in its fi nal phase and in 1936.” Schirmer’s good friend “Hash” Newman who drove him once again from Baltimore Maryland to Lakehurst, said, “this is our 15th time. I met Horst years and years ago and we’ve been friends ever since. I’m retired from the Army Corps of Engineers. “In our country now, history is demeaned. People don’t care so much about what happened with the Titanic because it had nothing to do with us and they dismiss history,” Newman said. During the invocation, Chaplain Hardy Owens said, “while others may observe a barren field full of ghosts, we witness a testimony towards something quite different. Lord open our eyes tonight to see a pallet decorated before us filled with the tapestry of honor, courage and commitment where service members have honed their skills, risked their lives to pass along a legacy that refuses to surrender.” “We have representation of each service present, a hallmark to our identity as a
joint base,” Captain Sherrod noted. A representative of each member of the armed services presented a wreath in remembrance to those lost during the Hindenburg tragedy as well as commemorating U.S. Navy and U.S. Army airship loses and those fallen troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Flags of each branch of the military flew behind the wreath presentation site including, for the fi rst time, the U.S. Space Force during this year’s ceremony. Navy Lakehurst Historical Society President Carl Jablonski read the names of those lost during the Hindenburg disaster. “Eighty-four years ago, this field was ablaze. The imagery, the horror and humanity were the defi ning images of an era and of our community,” Captain Sherrod said. He added that along with those being remembered from the Hindenburg, the day’s ceremony was also meant to remember “all intrepid airmen who dare slip the surly bonds of earth and dance the skies on laughter-silvered wings,” quoting a the poem “High Flight” by John Gillespie Magee, a Canadian airman who died in a in-flight collision in 1941. “Since the dawn of man, we’ve looked up to the heavens and dared to dance among the stars. Over 118 years ago two brothers tasted human powered flight on a beach in North Carolina but before that man had broken the bonds of earth through lighter than air. Man’s insatiable curiosity drove us to amazing innovation,” Captain
Sherrod added. He noted that the borough’s Lakehurst Naval Air base was “the birthplace of the U.S. Navy’s foray into lighter than air aviation. For 100 years we’ve been part of this community and part of this community’s history. “Not just the Hindenburg but years before the Navy’s fi rst lighter than air machine that crashed in 1918. It was R38, British manufactured and during a test f light crashed off the coast of England and 44 folks died. As aviators we learn from those mishaps and the sacrifices of others,” Captain Sherrod added. Dr. Schirmer said, “I am almost 90 years old but I saw the Hindenburg being built in Germany. My father Dr. Max Schirmer was very much instrumental in the development and its design. I went to school with the children of many of the crew of the Hindenburg. Schirmer said that the Hindenburg’s high landing position as opposed the usual low landing method may have contributed to its demise along with weather and the crew’s hurried posture. “A sharp turn likely caused a ripped, busted wire which hit one of the gas bags, gas bag number four at the rear of the ship. This allowed for the escape of hydrogen - not helium - to mix with 21% of oxygen in the air. It took about four minutes for this to be a perfect mix of explanation for the fi re that broke out in the tail of the ship.”

Continued From Page 1 $5,000 and awareness for Recalibrate and for Just Believe, which takes care of the homeless in the area. “Together, we raised awareness for the cause and have raised over $5,000 in just under a month. The support from the community and our community leaders in attendance instills confidence that the mission of establishing transitional housing for homeless in Ocean County will be successful,” Just Believe Executive Director Paul Hulse said. Davies Adepoju, an employee from the Toms River Clerk’s office, took first place with a time of 20:26 which is a pace of 6:35 a mile, Toms River Township reported. Toms River council members took part in the race and local elected officials showed their support. Recalibrate held the event in honor of Marine Cpl. Rory Hamill. In 2019, Hamill spoke at the Toms River library, urging veterans to get the help they need. He shared his journey, a local kid in an abusive home who had a lot of hardships early on. He joined the military when he was 17. “I was way over my head and didn’t realize
The Manchester Times, May 15, 2021, Page 7 what I was getting myself into,” he said. In 2011, he was in Afghanistan. Another officer was nervous about sweeping for mines, so Hamill did it instead. He lost his leg to an IED. The Marine was hospitalized and discharged after a year and half, then came back to New Jersey. “I was extremely lost. My weekends consisted of just going out and drinking to excess. I had no drive or motivation. I was working a job but not really showing up. A lot of problems from my childhood started to surface as well combined with the trauma of combat.” He got psychological help in 2015 and worked with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office helping other veterans in need. Last year, as the world shut down from the pandemic, he wrote on social media “My own personal hell has been reignited.” He committed suicide shortly thereafter. He was married and a father of three. Groups like Recalibrate work to fight the isolation that veterans feel since they are able to understand what another veteran is going through.

School Buses Could Be Subject To Surprise Safety Inspections CAPITOL COMMENTS
legislation sponsored by Senator Jim Holzapfel and advanced by the Senate Transportation Committee. 10th Legislative District Many of New Jersey’s precious children board Senator Jim Holzapfel school buses twice a day. The safety of those youngTRENTON − School buses would be sters are of utmost importance,” said subject to surprise safety inspections under Holzapfel (R-10 t h). “The promise of
unscheduled inspections will encourage transportation companies to identify and repair problems earlier, helping make school buses safer for students, bus drivers, and others on the road.” In addition to the twice-annual scheduled inspections of school buses mandated under current law, Holzapfel’s bill (S-3378) requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to also conduct unscheduled inspections.
“None of us wants to see an unsafe bus full of school students on our roads,” said Holzapfel. “This is a worthy investment in the safety of our children. We want them to get to school and back without unnecessary risk.” The bill also provides that any fines imposed pursuant to the “School Bus Enhanced Safety Inspection Act” would be utilized for the continued administration of the program.
United Airlines Criticized For Outsourcing While Cutting U.S. Jobs Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (both D-N.J.) called on the U.S. Treasury and United Airlines to stop United’s plan to outsource thousands of inflight catering jobs currently performed by workers based in Newark, Honolulu, Cleveland, Denver, and Houston.
In the letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the lawmakers note that the Payroll Support Program (PSP) for the airline industry was extended under the American Rescue Plan and was created to keep people employed during the pandemic, and that outsourcing jobs while paying top executives bonuses is inconsistent with congressional intent and unfair for the workers who have kept the airline industry afloat during this economic crisis. “We believe it is inconsistent with Congress’ intent in creating the PSP program for airlines to outsource jobs while committing to bonuses for top executives once the PSP program restrictions on executive compensation have expired. We respectfully ask you to require any new PSP agreement with
United Airlines or any applicant require the airline to refrain from outsourcing jobs and to rescind or refrain from making any commitments to provide executive bonuses while airlines are receiving payments under the PSP,” the lawmakers wrote to Secretary Yellen. In their letter to United Airlines, the lawmakers call for United not to outsource the over 2,500 catering jobs, explaining that Congress helped the airline industry financially survive the pandemic, and airline workers should have job security while the economy recovers and the demand for travel increases. The letter notes that United Airlines has announced millions in dollars of bonuses for top executives due after the expiration of the limits imposed by the Payroll Support Program. “Many of the United Airlines catering workers, who are overwhelmingly people of color, have served the airline for decades. We are also concerned that United’s plans to
outsource the catering jobs will jeopardize workers’ continued union representation. We are aware that United Airlines opposed the workers’ effort to join Unite Here in 2018, and that in spite of this opposition 72 percent of the catering workers voted in their election in favor of joining the union. Instead of working towards outsourcing jobs, United should use the time afforded by the Payroll Support Program to engage in good faith negotiations with these employees and their union, who have been working without a contract for over two years and whose work has helped United survive during this challenging period,” the lawmakers wrote to United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby. In addition to Sens. Menendez and Booker, the letter was signed by Sens. Mazie K. Hirono (D-Hawaii), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.).

History:
Continued From Page 1 entirety at youtube.com/wltstv. The documentary was hosted and directed by student Ellie Reid. Anderson and Asay are the administrators of the Facebook page which has more than 24,000 members at present. “I think they have done such a wonderful job for us. They showed us the past … and you see it (Ocean County) as it grew from its infancy basically,” said Robert Popovics who received the Commission’s 2020 Lifetime Achievement in the Arts award. “They are being recognized for the knowledge, love of history and determination for creating something that benefits everyone,” Reid said in a voice over introducing the two guests. “I realized looking over these different groups, a lot of them are there for individual towns like Toms River, Lavallette etc. but there was no group to cover all of Ocean County. I had this idea in my head that it would be nice to start a group that covered all of Ocean County because there is a lot of history out there,” Asay said. Anderson commented that “as historians what we have access to now as opposed to a few decades ago, 50 years ago, is just tremendous. Now we can sit at home on our computer and do a tremendous amount of research about items we are finding like the dinosaur (of Bayville) or areas people have questions about.” “It has been great with the group being able to share this. Our experiences and our collections and our history of growing up here being shared with people of the county and those of the county bringing their histories and collections here,” Anderson added. “We wanted younger people in Ocean
County to be able to find out what was it like here in the 50s, 60s or even before that. Through these stories and photographs we have had some success with that,” Assay added. Popovics said he feels their group is like opening up a visual scrapbook of memories with images and captions and articles describing life at that time: The people, the attractions, the buildings, businesses and homes that were present. “The idea of a community scrapbook resonated with the growing group membership. As more pictures were shared, more connections were made and the comment section propelled the group far past Asay and Anderson’s expectations,” Reid said during the interview program. Anderson said four years ago when the group started, “there was a lot of Pat and I sharing personal photographs and it expanded to the point that by the time we reached our fourth anniversary of the page there was over 22,000 people who were members. We weren’t relying just on pictures we were posting, but now dozens of people who were regulars are posting pictures that they found through research or from their own personal family collections.” Asay said when they started the project he thought that perhaps the page would get around 2,000 people. “I think I just caught a wave. I had no idea it would get this big. It is a passion for me. It is something I enjoy. I enjoy my family history and I enjoy reading about local history.” “It is quite an accomplishment. There is a lot of dedication. There is a lot of sacrifice on their part to complete the job in a manner that they have done it. It is very professional. I really admire the work they’ve done and I think the entire community thanks them for what they have done,” Popovics said.

Budget:
Continued From Page 1 increases was to accommodate decreases in our accounts.” Parliman also said the spending plan had been reviewed by the county superintendent having gone through “rigorous standards.” He said the budget does not include the next round of coronavirus funding by the state. “The only thing included is $95,000 and $42,000 from this past year. Next year’s is not appropriated yet.” The district is expecting around $400,000 which is regulated under strict guidelines. “We have a lot of those components in place,” Parliman reminded the Board. STEM Program Superintendent Loren Fuhring introduced April Boatner-Allen, a representative from the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. “We are piloting a STEM program for teens for our 5th graders. It is a very intensive program.” “The program would allow our 5th graders to be on base for 25 hours for all types of activities. It is funded through the base and grants. It is working in Burlington County right now but it will be growing. If it is a success and we know it will be because we are going to make that happen, it will go with them through high school,” Fuhring added. She said the program could lead to internship and “all kinds of opportunities in every field - engineering, medical and
The Manchester Times, May 15, 2021, Page 11 others and it is defi nitely something we are really excited about.” Allen said it was “an emerging program in which the 5th graders will come one day a week with assigned instruction. They will build rockets and the idea is if we catch them at 5th grade and we start to track them all the way through they will become leaders and we will have a resurgence in American pride in our sciences and mathematics.

By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – The Knights of Columbus recently donated $1,000 to the Manchester Township School District Kevin’s Kids drive. Every year, the Knights organization normally donates coats for the drive but due to the pandemic, they could not. So instead, they made a monetary donation.
“We are very appreciative of the support the Knights of Columbus provide to our drive on a yearly basis,” Kevin’s Kids organizer Alex George said. Kevin’s Kids drive provides toys, clothing and other necessities to Manchester families in need. Their goal is to make sure Santa visits every child in Manchester.

Lakehurst School Assists Families Who Are In Need Of Food
LAKEHURST – Fulfill – formerly the Food Bank of Ocean and Monmouth Counties have partnered with local restaurants to help keep them afloat during the pandemic, through paying them a stipend for individually packaged hot meals that get delivered to schools, senior centers, soup kitchens that can’t keep up with the demand, etc. Fulfill finds where the meals are needed and how often, and the restaurant drops off the meals. This is something that they offer
for the entire family, not just students. It’s a very flexible program – you can adjust the quantity of meals and frequency, or skip days/weeks as needed. Lakehurst School has joined this program and is handing out dinners to the community on Mondays and Wednesdays between 4 and 5 p.m. The meals come from Tuzzio’s Italian Cuisine in Long Branch. All families are welcome to participate with quality food.
Volunteers Needed!
LAKEHURST – Volunteer fi refighters and first aid squad members are urgently needed. Staffing remains at an extremely critical level, which could affect the longterm future of these vital organizations. These organizations exist for you, but community involvement is required for them to
continue. Training is provided. Please consider helping your community as a member of either the first aid squad or the fire department. Contact Borough Hall at 657-4141 or 657-4161 for additional information or to volunteer your services.

Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month Includes Drivers Of Cars
MANCHESTER – With warmer weather upon us, more motorcyclists will be sharing the roadways. May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The Manchester Township Police would like to remind all road users to use safe driving practices to help reduce the number of motorcycle-involved crashes. Per vehicle mile traveled in 2019, motorcyclists were about 29 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to die in a motor vehicle crash and were four times more likely to be injured. A key way to reduce traffic fatalities
and keep roads safe is for drivers to understand motorcycle safety challenges such as size and visibility and riding practices like downshifting and weaving to be able to anticipate and respond to motorcyclists’ behavior. Even the smallest momentary lapse in a vehicle driver’s awareness can result in the death of an unseen motorcyclist. Remember: check your mirrors, use your blinkers, assume motorcyclists are closer than they appear, give motorcyclists space, stay alert and share the road!

5 Tips for Fall Prevention
Did you know that the chance of falling jumps threefold with hearing loss? Falls are the second leading cause of accidental death, per the World Health Organization, and can result in other serious injury or disability. So, don’t miss this: We’re sharing five tips for avoiding hazardous slips. Many people don’t realize that ears play a role in staying steady on your feet. Balance and equilibrium are controlled by the body’s vestibular system, involving parts of the brain, eyes, and inner ear as well as sensory systems including skin, joints, and muscles. Research shows that falls are more common among those with hearing loss. In one study, patients with mild hearing loss were nearly three times as likely to report a fall in the previous year. Plus, each 10-decibel increase in hearing loss meant a 1.4-fold increase in the odds of a fall the prior year. These findings, from researchers at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the National Institute on Aging, were consistent with past research linking hearing loss and increased risk of falling. With so much at stake, keep these tips in mind to help protect your balance: • Get your vision checked, making sure you’re seeing your best. • Be sure to understand how any medications may affect you — including your balance and hearing.
• Check your surroundings for hazards such as uneven surfaces, slippery f loors, small rugs, or unstable handrails. • Help ensure your loved ones and those with disabilities have a safe environment adapted to their physical needs. • Keep your hearing in top shape, star ting with hear ing exams once a year and whenever you’re having trouble understanding — especially if you’re having difficulty watching TV, talking on the phone, or understanding people speaking through masks. Falls can get in the way of your overall wellness and sense of independence. If you’re experiencing balance issues, dizziness, falls, or trouble hearing, don’t wait. Schedule a hearing and balance evaluation with our caring team today.

4 Remarkable Medicinal Uses For Baking Soda
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Everyone has some baking soda in the house, and if not, you should get some. Aside from baking with it, I also use it in my garbage disposal and to brighten my laundry. Sodium bicarbonate is known more commonly as “baking soda” since it helps make dough rise by producing carbon dioxide. Today I’ll share the most common medicinal uses for baking soda, as well as a few household uses that make it the cheapest, most effective remedy in town! Consuming excessive baking soda is toxic because it’s so high in sodium. So, if you’re taking it internally for heartburn, do not use it chronically, and do not take too much. See a doctor for proper treatment. Now, here are the best medicinal uses I can think of using baking soda: Freshen Breath. Adding some baking soda to your mouthwash can instantly freshen breath and improve oral hygiene. I think this is a great addition to anyone’s nightly routine and studies even show that it can help your body fight bacteria better by increasing pH in your saliva temporarily. You can make a mouthwash using baking soda, water and essential oils. I have a recipe for this posted at my website if you’d like to try it. Rinse with plain water after you do the baking soda rinse. Itching. Get relief for itching and minor bug bites or bee stings using baking soda paste that you make at home. Make
a paste that is thick enough to apply to your skin. The amount you use doesn’t matter, just pour it into a little dish, and add enough water slowly until it is thick like a paste, and you can apply it to your itchy spots. You can even kick it up a notch medicinally by adding several drops of lavender, frankincense and/or tea tree essential oil. If your itchy skin is widespread as you might experience with a drug allergy reaction, then take a lukewarm bath and add about 2 cups to a large bathtub of water, and soak for 15 minutes. Smelly Feet. You can make a little foot bath using 1 cup of baking soda to a small foot bath of water. I would add a cup of witch hazel to the mix as well as 10 drops of tea tree oil. Soak your feet for 5 minutes then rinse and dry off. This might help with toenail fungus too. Heartburn or Reflux. Acid reflux is a very common problem that stems from various different root causes, including cancer, ulcers and obesity. Have a work up before using a baking soda remedy and only use this for temporarily acute conditions such as the aftereffects of eating a spicy salsa. Baking soda works by neutralizing stomach acid. Dissolve about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a cold glass of water. Sip it slowly until the heartburn subsides. Do not use this chronically because it may lead to metabolic alkalosis and electrolyte disturbances which impact your heart and muscles.

Health Department Clinics Hit Milestone Of 100,000 Doses
By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – Through their Vaccination Clinics Program, the Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) have surpassed over 100,00 doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered. At the end of December 2020, the first doses of vaccine were administered at the RWJ Barnabas Health Arena in Toms River.
The OCHD have since expanded its clinics and services through Ocean County. “This milestone of 100,000 vaccinations delivered to Ocean County residents at the Ocean County Health Department vaccination clinics highlights what cooperation and partnerships can do,” said Ocean County Commissioner Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Health Department. “Work-
ing together with the Ocean County Health Department, the Ocean County Office of the Sheriff, our health care providers, hospitals, Toms River Regional Schools, Ocean County College, Southern Regional Schools, Manchester Township Schools and a cadre of dedicated volunteers, we have been able to meet and already pass this critical moment in reducing the spread of COVID-19.
While our work is not complete, I know this day recognizes everyone’s contribution in getting us here. I want to extend my deepest appreciation to everyone who helped make this happen.” “On behalf of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners, I want to express our gratitude for the hard work, countless hours and unwavering effort of everyone involved that got us to this milestone,” Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners Gary Quinn said. “The vaccination clinics have run smoothly from the opening days late last year until now. We have met and continue to meet the needs of thousands of our citizens – from the elderly and homebound to our emergency responders and medical providers and our general population. We look forward to continuing this effort so we can move forward comfortably and safely with family, friends, co-workers and with all those life events we have had to delay because of COVID-19. This past year has come with great challenges but it’s moments like this that give us great hope.” The figure of 100,000 doses represent only those at clinics run by the Ocean County Health Department. More were done by private and private/public clinics. Recently, the OCHD have reported no more than 100 COVID-19 cases daily in Ocean County. “These are the important figures and milestones for all of us as public health officials and for the general public,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer said. “It identifies that we are moving in the right direction. More people getting vaccinated and less becoming infected has been one of our biggest objectives from day one. But the job is far from finished and we still have thousands of individuals that still are in need of the vaccine.” “I can’t say enough about the dedicated team of OCHD nurses and all our volunteers that have stepped up over the past year in different capacities. They really are the heart and soul of the clinic services program. People have been waiting a long time for this vaccine and, as nurses, we are so happy to be the one’s delivering this boost of hope as we continue the battle against this unprecedented public health crisis,” OCHD Assistant Director of Nursing, Karen Barish said. Appointments recommended but walkins are welcome. Residents can book an appointment at ochd.org.

Inside The Law UBER- Lyft Transportation Network Companies
Michael J. Deem, Esq.
Are You Adequately Insured During A Ride Share? By: Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea & Associates
Over the last few years, Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft have become the go-to livery service rather than the common taxi driver. Many people use these companies on a daily or weekly basis. But what happens when you are involved in a collision while a passenger in a Lyft or Uber rideshare vehicle? Are you covered? Recently, the New Jersey Legislature defined the scope of mandatory insurance coverage for the transportation network companies and their drivers (such as Uber or Lyft). While an occupant of a prearranged ride, the transportation network company and or the driver shall maintain the following insurance coverage for your benefit: (1) primary automobile liability insurance in the amount of at least $1,500,000 for death, bodily injury, and property damage; and (2) uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in an amount of at least $1,500,000. This insurance coverage, which is to be maintained by the transportation network company (Uber / Lyft), shall not be dependent upon your automobile insurer first denying a claim, nor shall your automobile insurance policy be required to first deny a claim. This means that the insurance provided by the Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft is primary. However, the Transportation Network Companies are not required to provide medical coverage in the event you are injured while an occupant of the rideshare vehicle. Moreover, because Uber and Lyft are a form a livery service, the ride share vehicle is not covered under your automobile Personal
Injury Protection (PIP) medical expense insurance coverage. Consequently, unless you have access to health insurance, you will be uninsured for your medical expenses although, if you happen to fall into the uninsured status, you are not without recourse. An uninsured passenger may recover his/ her medical expenses from the party who caused the collision. This is a departure from the previous concept of the personal injury protection laws which prohibited recovery of medical expenses from the at-fault driver. Finally, the Limitation on Lawsuit Option which ordinarily restricts an injured motorists’ right to sue for personal injuries, shall not be asserted by a transportation network company or a transportation network company driver in defense to any action for damages arising from a prearranged ride, nor shall it be asserted against any party not receiving personal injury protection benefits in any action for damages arising from a prearranged. This means that your personal injury lawsuit will not be burdened with the requirement that you prove that the collision caused an objectively verifiable permanent injury. Rather, any disability related to the collision will suffice, which is a much simpler burden of proof. Ridesharing has become much easier and transparent with the advancement of technology. So it’s about time the Legislature has acted to protect the interests of the consumer by mandating insurance coverage and removing the obstacles of a lawsuit in the event of an injury while riding in a livery vehicle.

−Photo courtesy Michelle Brooks A large waterspout stretches high above the Barnegat Bay on May 8. The conditions were just right to cause its formation. By Bob Vosseller JERSEY SHORE – Seeing a giant waterspout emerging from the Barnegat Bay is just as scary as seeing an approaching tornado. Many people in Seaside Park, Toms River, Brick and other bayfront areas of the county witnessed it on May 8. Often compared to a tornado hovering above the ocean, a waterspout is a spiraling column of mist and air. That unusual condition came about from a coastal weather front – a combination of wind, rain showers and hail. Social media was fi lled with photos that showed the menacing display of force within the Barnegat Bay. People posted spectacular videos and photos. Members of the Seaside Park Volunteer Fire Company reported via Twitter that the spout was seen between Toms River
and Seaside Heights just north of Route 37 and the Tunney-Matthis bridge. Around 2-2:30 p.m. reports began coming in from Seaside Heights and other areas to the National Weather Service location in Mount Holly. National Weather Service representative Brian Haines said his agency issued a special marine warning around the coastal area from the Little Egg Harbor inlet to Manasquan in Monmouth County advising boaters to seek safe harbor immediately. Although waterspouts can capsize boats, there were no known reports of injuries or damages. Last year, the shore area experienced two waterspouts and some additional funnel clouds were observed as thunderstorms swept through the area.
Armed Robber Sentenced To 8 Years In Prison
By Chris Lundy LAKEWOOD – A man was sentenced to eight years in State Prison for robbing a pharmacy at gunpoint. Elioenai Aguinaga, 32, of Lakewood, must serve at least 85 percent of these eight years before being eligible for parole subject to the No Early Release Act, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said. On March 26, 2020, Aguinaga went into Taylor’s Pharmacy, brandished a semi-automatic handgun at the clerk, took $130 and
fled the area. About a month later, he was arrested and has been in the Ocean County Jail ever since. Billhimer acknowledged the work of Assistant Prosecutor Kaitlyn Burke who handled the case on behalf of the State, as well as the diligence and resolve exhibited by Officers of the Lakewood Township Police Department and Detective Bureau in their investigation which led to a lengthy state prison sentence.

OCC Presents “In The Shadow Of The Globe”
TOMS RIVER – The Repertory Theatre Company at Ocean County College will present a virtual production of “In the Shadow of the Globe” by Michelle Cameron on May 20, at 7 p.m. Virtual tickets are available here: grunincenter.org/event/ shadow-of-the-globe/. In the Shadow of the Globe is a verse novel in ten acts of the lives and loves of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. While primarily a book of poetry, “In the Shadow of the Globe” is also a fusion of genre. Because there is a distinct story line, describing the imagined lives of actual people, it is historical fiction. As it is told in many voices, it can also be considered a piece of theater. Cameron spent several years researching the actors of the Globe, and many of the events described in the book are based on the history of the theater. Yet this is
primarily a series of intertwined stories of love and ambition in a kind of poetry-meets-Shakespeare in Love. The publisher’s catalog calls “In the Shadow of the Globe” a “narrative poem using the colorful and daring characters of the Globe Theatre during the life of Shakespeare to create the incredible voices of its actors, bit players, poets, stage managers and lovelorn ladies of his day. Shakespeare, his wife, his Dark Lady and his poor dead boy all spring from the pages with fact and fiction intertwined into a virtuoso book that will redefi ne the classroom’s experience of Elizabethan studies. A new and provocative approach to a beloved subject.” The OCC student cast consists of Elaine Amico, Joseph Bryant, Archana Gonzalez, Aaron Lopez, Terry Nickerson, Anthony Scarpone and Brandon Turmelle.

Grant Program Will Aid Non-Profit Groups
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Board of Commissioners recently announced that $25 million dollars in grant funds will be available to aid non-profit organizations that have been assisting residents throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners Gary Quinn said he was pleased with the grant program that would benefit many non-profit groups “that have gone above and beyond to assist during the coronavirus pandemic. They have helped tremendously.” “Many have also suffered financially during the pandemic as fund raising efforts had to be curtailed. This grant program will help cover the costs of expenses incurred as a result of addressing increased community needs because of COVID 19,” Quinn added. The Commissioners is directing $25 million in CARES funding to the Ocean County COVID 19 Response Non-Profit Program. This grant program has been developed to support the response efforts of non-profit organizations working locally in Ocean County to meet the additional needs of the community created by the coronavirus pandemic. Quinn said starting 9 a.m. May 13, the grant application for the Ocean County COVID 19 Response Non-Profit Program will be available. The application period is expected to be open until June 3. Successful grant recipients will be based on meeting all eligibility criteria as outlined on the program webpage. There are requirements for eligibility and they can be found at co.ocean.nj.us starting May 10. Quinn said, “the application will be available three days later on May 13.” This initial round of funding would be used to cover expenses incurred by non-profits during the period of March 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021. If there is a second round available those grant funds would cover costs incurred as of March 1, 2021 or later. “When the coronavirus pandemic began to spread across Ocean County, the lives of so many of our residents were affected. So many of our citizens lost jobs as businesses were forced to close, others felt the health impacts from getting the virus, our homes were turned into classrooms as schools closed, child care was not as readily available, food insecurity and housing instability increased dramatically,” Quinn said. In order to meet the growing needs of county residents, many non-profit organizations increased their assistance and outreach in the communities, helping with food distribution, providing personal protection equipment, administering coronavirus tests, assisting with COVID-19 vaccination distribution and community outreach. Quinn said, “non-profit agencies have extended a lifeline to many of our residents,

especially our most frail and vulnerable senior and disabled residents during the coronavirus pandemic.” The grant program’s purpose is to provide fi nancial support to non-profit organizations that incurred new costs that would not have otherwise occurred if not for the pandemic. “We deeply appreciate all of the effort that
has been made by these dedicated non-profit organizations, many with the assistance of volunteers, who have worked tirelessly to help the residents of Ocean County during this very challenging time,” Quinn added. Other grant programs including the Ocean County Residential Emergency Rental Assistance Program, grants for businesses to assist with rent and lease payments
have been supported by County Board of Commissioners. Quinn said the federal “CARES Act funds have “allowed us to reach out and help those in our communities that have been adversely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. “These grant programs have been tailored to help residents, business owners and non-profits during unprecedented times.”

By Alyssa Riccardi F R EEHOLD – Thunder Road or Rocky Road? Bruce Springsteen was spotted supporting a local business over the weekend enjoying some ice cream from the popular Jersey Freeze. L ocal resident Spencer Freedman was stopping in for a hot dog, crinkle cut fries and a shake when appa rently Bruce left just few minutes before, ordering some ice cream. After Freedman grabbed his order, he noticed Bruce sitting in his car. “He was clearly in the middle of a phone call, but we both waved and he was kind enough to roll the window down when I approached his door and posed in the photograph for me,” Freedman said. “We actually

I believe he was there for a banquet ceremony for his daughters’ equestrian endeavors. I saw him walk into the bathroom with his son, and waited for him to come out and he was super kind then as well.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of May 15 - May 21 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Try not to let go of your values just to embrace change. However, to maintain your reputation and keep your promises, you may need to act the part of a disruptor now. Stand tall and defend your boundaries in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As the week ahead unfolds, you may feel the need to voice your opinion and hear those of others on the latest issues. The result could be that you become hooked on a broader, richer philosophy that embraces more viewpoints. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Admirers may be attracted by your charisma and your inviting appearance in the coming week. Use this special opportunity to kiss and make up or to fix even the smallest misunderstanding. CANCER (June 21-July 22): As this week unfolds, remain sensitive to the undercurrents. You can be kind and generous to people in need. Learn from those who have studied a subject thoroughly and allow yourself to be creative and free of restrictions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be filled with energizing ideas. If outside influences create challenges, you might want to act immediately to uphold the status quo. Focus on fostering forgiveness and fruitful activities in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): We’re all imperfect and must accept ourselves as we are. This week may be the right time to reveal some vulnerabilities. The only way to grow truly close to someone is to share your truth, hopes and dreams. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Nail down
your income and profits. Your financial portfolio can become healthier if you focus on long-term results rather than immediate gratification. Good manners and a friendly demeanor may earn gold stars as the week unfolds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the week ahead, you may begin to develop a plan that will motivate you to live a more creative, idealistic life. You might realize that your happiness lies in being close to people who offer you peace of mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week to come, you may realize that a person’s reputation is only a reflection of his or her character. Loved ones may prove they are loyal. A shift in your work routine could give you more time to relax at home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Secrets are meant to be kept. You might want to be in on the latest news and gossip but may need special authorization to listen in on some discussions. Be discreet and guard confidential information in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the upcoming week, you should be able to make more progress by cooperating than by competing. Put problems between you and a loved one to rest by being sensitive to their feelings and willing to arrive at a compromise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you’re feeling like you aren’t doing what you’re supposed to be doing, maybe it’s time to make your ideals less abstract and give them more structure. As the week unfolds, you can immerse yourself in your beliefs and find your way forward.
