Governor: Masks Won’t Be Mandated In Schools
By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – Answering a question being posed by parents at many recent school board meetings across the state, students will not be required to wear masks in schools unless the district mandates it this fall, according to Governor Phil Murphy.
He ma de t he a nnouncement during a recent press conference. Full in-person instruction is also being mandated by the state this fall. The New Jersey Department of Health is prepared to announce updated health and safety guidelines for the upcoming school
ye a r, a c c ord i ng t o the governor. He said he was encouraging he a lt h of f ic i a l s t o “work collaboratively with the community on a masking policy that works for everyone.” He noted those that feel more comfor table wearing masks would be able to do so. He also said that
the state anticipates updated guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) later in the summer. New Jersey will consider any updates from the federal agency prior to the first day of the new school year. Last spring the governor indicated that stu-
dents and school staff in the state would most likely have to wear masks when school resumes in the fall with some f lexibility for high school students who have been vaccinated. Most high school students are expected to have been vaccinated (Masks - See Page 5)

Neighbors Complain About “Prayer Houses”
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Several houses in residentially zoned neighborhoods have been identified by neighbors as being used for purposes of religious services in the last few years and they want to know why no action has been taken. Keary and Michael Smith live right next to a house on East Connecticut Concourse Road which they say has been used as a shul for months now. They have observed construction work at that house for more than a year. They say it is not being used as a residence or occupied during the week but for religious purposes on weekends. “The town is sitting on a cease-and-desist order for this residence with absolutely no explanation to me or anyone else. I feel that my town has let me down and that after living here for 22 years and paying taxes and being a good citizen means nothing to them,” Keary Smith said. She also told The Jackson Times that “my neighbors can do illegal work continually after being issued a stop work order. They take the sticker down and continue with the work. They are still there every weekend. On holidays, 50 to 70 people are chanting, singing in there.” “This is not about any one religion. No matter what type of worship was going on it doesn’t matter. It is zoned as a residence,” she added. The Smiths have noted that during weekends, an abundance of cars continue to be parked on the streets near that home. By Sunday, those cars are gone until the next weekend. During recent meetings resident Sheldon Hofstein has come before the governing body informing them of code violations and asking questions about what is being done to address them. Recently, Hofstein said a house on South County Line Road was being used for the same purpose as the one that the Smiths have complained about and that it was in violation of township code. According to a court document, attorney Sieglinde K. Rath of Storzer & Associates, will appear as counsel on behalf of defendant Moshe Dovid Perlstein concerning one case of an alleged prayer house use that the township has filed an injunction request on. Hofstein asked if the township might be (Prayer - See Page 4)

Festival:
Continued From Page 1 beliefs to Catholic beliefs. Each year, the Central New Jersey chapter of the American-Lithuanian Community Inc. celebrates Saint Jonas’ Day also known as Rasos (Dew Holiday), Joninės, Kupolė, Midsummer Day or Saint John’s Day all of which is a midsummer folk festival celebrated in Lithuania. This year, the festival drew a large crowd and featured many Lithuanian traditions including a native dinner, storytelling, tug of war, a watermelon eating contest, singing songs and dancing. Jackson resident Kostas Mastauskas, who serves as president of the organization, said the overcast sky and rain did not dampen their spirits of enjoying a live event. He noted, “this event brings many people together for a celebration of our culture.” The pandemic had put a crimp in their style last year so this year’s event of renewal was also symbolic to emerging out of the coronavirus conditions. “It wasn’t easy for our community. Some of our events were held online and some in small groups. For such a small community like ours it is very important to get together,” he added. Mastauskas noted that a “big Lithuanian folk dance festival in Philly was canceled last year and our folk dance group had no practice in months. It was damaging for us and we had no clue of what to expect for
today’s St. Johns event.” He was relieved that it went so well despite the weather. The festival included games, contests, storytelling, dances and even a tug of war. Officially known as the Republic of Lithuania, it is a nation located in the Baltic region of northern-eastern Europe. Lithuania is bordered by Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave) to the southwest and has an estimated population of 2.8 million people as of 2017. In 2018, the 100th anniversary of Lithuania as a reformed nation was noted during the festival. Toward the end of World War I, Lithuania’s Act of Independence was signed on Feb. 16, 1918, declaring the founding of the modern Republic of Lithuania. During the 20th century Lithuania was occupied three times, first by the Soviets, then the Nazis and then the Soviets again. After World War II, many fled but some remained and went into the forest to form a resistance movement despite knowing that the Soviets had far superior weapons, equipment and soldiers. They knew they would have no possibility to win freedom, but they stood together with hope. On March 11, 1990, a year prior to the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union, Lithuania became the first Baltic state to declare itself independent, resulting in the restoration of an independent State of Lithuania after 50 years of Soviet occupation.

Continued From Page 1 hesitant concerning code enforcement based on litigation that the township, planning and zoning board of adjustment is currently facing. Township officials have denied this and that steps were being taken concerning code enforcement measures. Injunction By Federal Judge One such legal action concerns U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp’s preliminary injunction against two Jackson ordinances that he said were discriminatory against the township’s Orthodox Jewish population. Judge Shipp issued a preliminary decision regarding the case of Agudath Israel of America and WR Property, LLC, versus Jackson Township. The preliminary injunction involves Jackson ordinances restricting dormitories and eruvs. One ordinance amended use of dormitories and schools in various zones within the township while the second amended an existing ordinance which stated that “no person shall encumber or obstruct any street or public place with any article or thing whatsoever.” These ordinances are opposed by Agudath Israel of America, an organization that advocates for the interests of the Orthodox Jewish community. Jackson has seen an increase to its Orthodox Jewish population in recent years. In 2014, developer WR Property, LLC, bought five acres of property in the township intending to develop or market for development a religious Orthodox Jewish school. Those two ordinances were adopted in 2017
and the town was sued for it. Agudath Israel of America said it was discriminating against Orthodox Jews. Township officials said the ordinances focused on dormitories as they had not been addressed in municipal code previously. Agudath Israel of America maintains that the ordinance was enacted to stop schools being built for Orthodox Jewish students in Jackson and claims the ban is in violation of federal law. The organization added to its complaint following a council action that same year which Orthodox Jews said would halt the establishment of an eruv. More than 100 members of the Orthodox Jewish population of Jackson came out to a meeting of the governing body to object to the ordinance pertaining to eruv. They explained at the time that an eruv is an area enclosed by a wire boundary that symbolically enlarges the private domain of Jewish households into public areas, allowing activities within the eruv that are normally prohibited in public on the Sabbath which runs Friday night until sundown on Saturday. Shipp wrote concerning his decision that “there is no dispute that the ordinances are not facially discriminatory. But ‘facial neutrality is not determinative.’ “After review, the Court finds that plaintiffs presented sufficient evidence in support of their argument that the ordinances were passed with a discriminatory purpose.” This means the municipality is unable to enforce the two ordinances until a final decision of the issue is rendered. All procedures concerning applications for construction of schools and an eruv are in effect prior to the passage of the 2017 ordinances, according to the judge’s ruling.

Masks:
Continued From Page 1 by September. The governor mentioned during the news conference that “there are recommendations on social distancing and that is absolutely one of the items on the list. It was noted that county health departments were working in tandem with school districts and the funds from ESSER (federal money designed to assist school districts with expenses related to COVID-19 conditions of materials and other costs) are being used to address ventilation, heating and cooling needs across schools in the state.
The Jackson Times, July 3, 2021, Page 5 “Because of the vaccines in our tool box this is a largely preventable illness,” the governor said noting four additional COVID related deaths today. The governor said he was hoping to take a vacation now that travel restrictions have been lifted. “I sure as heck hope to. “ When asked about a potential visit before Election Day by the president or vice president the governor remarked, “I can’t speak for them but this is a state they both know well and I would welcome them with open arms.” Governor Murphy is seeking re-election for a second term as governor this fall. He will be facing GOP nominee former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Senator Thompson: Democrats Deciding State Budget In Backroom
TR ENTON - Senator Sam Thompson warned that transparency has reached a new low in Trenton as Gover nor Phil Mu r phy and the Senate President and Assembly Speaker, all Democrats, have eschewed any semblance of a public process to determine how tens of billions of dollars of State and federal funds will be spent. “Three men are deciding how more than $50 billion of State and federal funds will be spent with absolutely no public input,” said
Thompson (R-12), a member of the Senate Budget & Appropriations Committee. “In prior years, Democrats would at least pretend to want to hear from the public before rubberstamping the budget they had already agreed upon in private. This year, they’re dispensing with the charade and have completely cut the public out of the process. It’s the antithesis of the inclusive, open, and transparent government that New Jersey deserves.” In February, Governor
Murphy proposed a $44.8 billion State Budget for the upcoming FY 2022 fiscal year that begins July 1. The budget was already set to be the largest in state history before the Murphy administration announced last week that another $5.2 billion in unexpected revenues would be collected from New Jersey taxpayers. Those funds are in addition to the nearly $6.5 billion in federal relief funds that New Jersey received last month with broad authorization to spend it to help
with pandemic response and economic recovery efforts. All told, Governor Murphy now has $11.5 billion at his disposal that was not anticipated when he proposed the budget less than four months ago. After revealing the extra $5 billion in tax revenues last week, the State Treasurer abr uptly canceled scheduled appearances before the Legislature’s budget committees to avoid discussing or answering questions about the Murphy administration’s plans for
the unexpected windfalls. “It’s absolutely appalling that unimaginable sums of taxpayer money will be divvied up in a backroom by Democratic bosses and Governor Murphy,” added Thompson. “After they’ve cut their deals and finished their back-slapping, they’ll call a quick vote on a budget bill that nobody has seen and pass it with minimal discussion. It’s an affront to New Jersey taxpayers who always play second fiddle to the Democratic party bosses at budget time. This is why
hard-working New Jersey families never seem to get a break no matter how many billions the State has in the bank.” On June 7, Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee publicly proposed a comprehensive plan for both the budget and federal stimulus funds. When the additional billions in tax revenues were revealed last week by the Treasurer, Thompson joined with his Republican colleagues to call for returning $4 billion to New Jersey taxpayers.
Menendez: Bill Would Prepare U.S. For Future Pandemics
WASHI NGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, introduced comprehensive global health legislation entitled the International Pandemic Preparedness and COVID-19 Response Act (S. 2297) to improve global health and pandemic preparedness and en hance COVID-19 response efforts. “Thanks to the Biden administration’s efforts, we a re st a r t i ng t o se e the light at the end of the tunnel of this dark and t ragic chapter that has taken more than 600,000 of our loved ones. But as the United States tur ns the page on COVID-19, that reality is still far out
of reach for millions more living beyond ou r borders, where the pandemic c ont i nue s t o r age. We must commit to ending the spread of coronavirus everywhere, as it remains a threat to American lives and livelihoods as long as it persists,” Chairman Menendez said. “The International Pandemic Preparedness and COVID-19 Response Act enhances our ability to take robust action now and halt fut u re infectious disease threats before they reach our shores. Only through better planning and preparation here in the United States and by supporting t he sa me overseas ca n we protect ourselves, our communities, and future generations from emerging pathogens.” The legislation:
Recognizes that it is in t he Un it ed St at e s’ national security interest to work with partners to end t he cu r rent COV I D -19 pandemic, including by helping to mitigate the economic impacts in highly v ulnerable countries and regions. P rov ides for en ha nced Congressional oversight of U.S. foreign assistance prev iou sly appropr iated for the inter national COVID-19 response, including for the sharing of U.S. vaccines overseas.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F eatured L etter Bills Would Expand Treatment To Those Struggling With Addiction The Legislature acted to support New Jerseyans struggling with substance use disorder by passing, on a bipartisan basis, a package of legislation designed to expand access to treatment. For too long, substance use disorder has been regarded as a crime rather than the illness that it is. Those str uggling with addiction deserve high-quality health care, not a cycle of stays behind bars. These bills offer New Jerseyans a more compassionate future, one where those struggling with substance use issues can get the care they need. Each bill will improve health care access for individuals currently in need of treatment by reducing administrative and financial barriers that lock out too many of us, particularly those in Central and South Jersey who have suffered from high unemployment, displacement from Superstorm Sandy and the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic with less access to resources. S3491/A5457 revises and expands authorization for any person or entity to obtain, distribute, and administer naloxone. S3800/ A5703 requires health insurers, including Medicaid, New Jersey Family-
Care and others to cover the cost of opioid antidotes - like Narcan - without prior-authorization requirements, expanding access to life-saving drugs. S3803/A5495 would permit certain paramedics to administer buprenorphine to patients who badly need it, allowing those suffering from substance use disorder to immediately access science-based treatment and avoid a risk of relapse while waiting to access long-term treatment options. The truth is that almost everyone knows someone who struggles with a substance use disorder. This devastating epidemic can strike anyone, regardless of their race, class, gender or political beliefs. Our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends are counting on Trenton lawmakers to act quickly by focusing on science-based solutions that work. We look forward to Governor Murphy quickly signing this measure and getting people the help they need. Amanda Devecka-Rinear Executive Director of the New Jersey Organizing Project

Police, Especially Those In Manchester, Deserve Thanks Almost two years ago we had occasion for the Manchester police to come to our house, and it’s happened again recently. On both occasions (different officers) I’ve found our police to be respectful, helpful, and commendable in their conduct, which was exemplary. I told them this as they were leaving the other night but I wanted to write a letter and I hope you’ll publish it. You see, we hear far too much these days about those who are perceived as “bad cops” but part of the problem is we as a society are slow to publicly affirm and commend the overwhelming majority who are undeniably good - even great - at what they do! Thank you again to all of our terrific....terrific, I say.....police here in Manchester, and beyond! Chet Jelinski Whiting
Don’t Post Religious Texts In Public Schools North Dakota just passed a Bill permitting the display of the Ten Commandments in its public schools, stating “there is no reason why they shouldn’t be displayed.” There is a reason! “First and foremost,” the Ten Commandments are a sacred Judeo-Christian religious text, which makes their display inappropriate (and unconstitutional) in public buildings, including public schools. If that is not convincing enough they do not belong, the first Commandment should: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3). This country was built upon religious freedom. We are free to believe in any god, many gods or no god
at all. Moreover, the First Commandment is completely incompatible with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. One (the First Commandment) abhors religious freedom and diversity, while the other (the Constitution) protects religious diversity and demands that government respect it. What this religious intrusion into government is about is, an attempt to place the imprimatur of government behind one religion’s belief. Government must stay out of the religion business just the way our founding fathers intended. That is the reason they gave us a godless (religion-free) Constitution. For those who feel compelled to display something in our public school, how about a copy of the First Ten Amendments – the document that underwrites our religious liberties! Borden Applegate Jackson
Biden, Feds Borrow To Throw Money Away I am writing this e mail to try to justify the actions of the Federal government over the illegal migrant crisis in the United States. I truly hope for a realistic explanation and not a canned one. I am told that illegal immigrants receive a monthly allowance of approx. $2500 plus medical and food assistance, while someone who has worked their entire life in this country receives and average of $1500-$1700 from Social Security. Why is the government housing illegal migrants in hotels for approx. $250 a night and men and women (homeless) who have fought for this country live on the street with what appears no care from cities and the Federal Government. Why are we housing them? They broke our laws and should be sent back. Not all of
them are political refugees. Or is it the allure of free money, housing and medical? Why is the Federal Government (President Biden) talking about send billions of dollars, which will be borrowed, overseas to build infrastructure in foreign nations? Is it a fear of China getting a foothold all over the world? Why is he not spending reasonable money to help the homeless and their medical problems or building affordable housing and health care systems? Electoral College? Why does the whole state vote for a president with the majority of votes. The cities will always rule because of the high capacity of residences. We who live in rural or suburbia areas of the state don’t really have a say in how the Electoral College votes. Why can’t Electoral Votes be representative vote for the way his district votes. Just look in New Jersey! Whatever way Union, Essex, Camden, Trenton or the commonly referred to Turnpike Corridor votes so goes the state electoral. But what about the rest of our votes? Why has there been a 6 percent rise in our inflation rate? The cost of fuel going up from $2.60 to $3.07 in the first 120 days? Why is the government still subsidizing unemployment checks with $300 a week and businesses are crying for help? Might as well ask, where are you getting that money from…borrowing again? Captain R.M. Silva Toms River
Remove The Filibuster This letter was sent in before the GOP blocked discussion for the bill in question. Year after year, we see politicians in Congress make promises about what they can do for constituents like me. And year after year, the progress is usually less than we hoped for. The solution is clear: It’s time to get rid of the filibuster - a Senate rule that allows a minority of senators to block any piece of legislation. Dem-
ocrats have introduced some great bills that would help a vast majority of Americans. Right now, the Senate is deciding whether to pass the For the People Act, for instance, a big reform bill that addresses everything from making voting more accessible and streamlined to getting rid of corruption in government. But the fate of the For the People Act is uncertain as long as it can be filibustered by senators like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham. And that’s only one bill. Imagine all the progress that’s being held up in Congress because the filibuster stands in the way. For me, for my community, and for communities like mine all across America, I’m asking senators to do away with the filibuster once and for all. Danielle Wilson Freehold
Van Drew Is Anti-Police Congressman Van Drew was one of the few politicians who did not support an investigation into the capitol riots. Even Chris Smith voted for it because one of the officers who died that day was from his area. But Van Drew would rather side with extremists who think it’s OK to go into a federal building and attack law enforcement. I’m not going to say the officer’s name, because he and his family has been through enough. But he did his duty and for that he was pepper sprayed and suffered two strokes. He later died from his strokes. Van Drew voted against creating a bipartisan commission that would investigate the cause of this riot. But of course we all know who caused it. But I stand by it – you’re either for the police or you’re against it. If you vote to protect a mob, you care nothing for law and order. If you don’t care what caused people to get angry enough to pepper spray a cop, then you can’t call yourself a friend to law enforcement. Mary Cantor Toms River

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

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

Students Help Peers Improve Social Emotional Health
JACKSON – Christa McAuliffe Middle School students are helping their peers deal with a variety of social-emotional health issues by conceiving of and constructing a “Healing Library” located in the school’s library as well as being donated to the Jackson Township branch of the Ocean County Library. The Healing Library work at McAuliffe was made possible thanks to a generous grant from the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education. The purpose of a Healing Library is to make an individual or family’s experience confronting and overcoming personal trauma of some kind easier by providing a variety of diverse and specific resources. The kits are a type of “first-aid for the brain,” compiled by McAuliffe students for local middle school-aged students and accessible in the school library similar to other library resources. Throughout the COVID pandemic, parents, medical professionals, government officials, educational leaders and pediatric experts have been acutely aware of its potential impact on teens’ social-emotional health. Not only has COVID-related anxiety been a concern, but the isolation many children have experienced over the past year and a half has complicated many of the struggles they already were enduring. Making students understand that they are not alone and there are many others who are struggling with similar challenges and providing them with easily accessible coping resources and strategies is the goal of the healing library. “Libraries have always been a place for students to access myriad resources to meet challenges and thanks to the Hipp Foundation Grant and the dedicated work of our students, our Library at McAuliffe will now help serve our school community with information that could help teens begin the process of addressing their social-emotional health,” said Healing Library Project Coordinator Bridgit Lapierre Valgenti, the Media Specialist at Christa McAuliffe Middle School.
Family Owned & Operated
As per the parameters of the Hipp Grant, McAuliffe 8th grade students from a variety of classes identified several mental health topics that affect middle school students. After comprehensive academic research on topics of their choosing, student groups worked with faculty and community members to create Healing Library Kits to provide students with resources and support. Each kit is unique to its topic and the guided choices of students who comprised them. Kits can include but are not limited to self-help books, picture books, a young adult book dealing with the topic, activities to help understand the topic, local resources, websites and articles, and activities that provide a coping mechanism. The topics that were identified by students to be addressed through the Healing Library at McAuliffe are Depression, Eating disorders, COVID stress, Body Image/Self Esteem, Anger Management, Coping with Divorce and Stress/Anxiety. Students spent countless hours researching and documenting coping strategies and resources and then chose the physical tools to populate the Healing Library Kits. Upon completion in June, a set of kits, one for each topic, will permanently reside in the McAuliffe Middle School library, and one set of kits will be donated to the Jackson Township branch of the Ocean County Library. “We’re so proud of Mrs. Valgenti and her students for using their talents and hard work to address the mental health crisis,” said Dawn Hiltner, spokesperson for the Hipp Foundation. “The Healing Library is not only a great resource for students, it helps them realize that they are not alone in their struggles. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Healing Library turns into a national or global program.” “I was amazed at the thoughtful and creative ways in which McAuliffe students addressed each of the Healing Library topics and I am extremely proud of their work,” Valgenti said. “Thanks to the 8th grade class of 2021, Healing Library kits will be a source of comfort and information for future McAuliffe students for many years.”

Jackson Pathfinders Host July Event By Dan Green, Corresponding Secretary of the Jackson Pathfinders The Jackson Pathfinders is once again reminding residents of the township and area visitors to utilize the beautiful trails within the community. Men, women, teens and scouts who love to be out on a trail in the beautiful natural lands of our town have a lot to see and enjoy. Our short hikes and trail beautification events are now resuming - finally! We charge no dues or fees, and we do not sell anything. The only things we would like in return are your interest and enthusiasm. Pathfinders volunteers maintain four woodland trails, all in Jackson: The Silver Stream Trail, across the street from 254 Frank Applegate Road. It is within the Metedeconk Preserve of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation. The Steve Kitay Living Trail, accessed via the Silver Stream Trail. The Purple Heart Trail, across the street from 820 East Veterans Hwy - Routes 527/528. This trail is part of Jackson Township’s Bunker Hill Bogs Recreation Area. The Jackson Jungle Children’s Trail, on Jackson Drive, adjacent to the Jackson Jungle Play Park. It is to your left on the way to the Ocean County Library. Visit our website for interactive Google maps of these Pathfinders trails and of several other trails in Jackson. There you will also find a trail map for the Forest Resource Education Center. Our featured event in July will be a hike on the Steve Kitay Living Trail on July 11. It will begin with access from the north side of the Silver Stream Trail oval. We will walk the Kitay Trail, whose awesome scenic attractions are the South Branch of the Metedeconk River, the Kitay Brook, the Old Forest Road and a number of really unusual trees. In addition, we never know in advance if we will encounter wildlife or some really special vegetation. See our interactive Google map at /jacksonpathfinders.org/trails/steve-kitayliving-trail. To stay cool on a hot day, we will meet at 8:30 a.m. and should be back at our starting point by 11 a.m. If you would like to participate in this event
you must reply and register for July 11 hike no later than July 7 with your name and cell phone number. Our cell phones will be vital in case of any difficulty or emergency, Be sure to include the names of others who will be coming with you. I will reply and provide you with full instructions for our trail event. Our monthly planning meeting will take place a few days later on July 15 and I will notify you of the time and place. All of our trails are open to the public every day, even if you don’t want to join our group trail event. The trails are for nature appreciation, hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding (no bikes or horses on the Children’s Trail). We recommend that you continue to observe COVID precautions by remaining distant from others when you are on any trail. Wear sturdy shoes or boots and bring drinking water. There is always a trip-and-fall risk, so take a friend along to walk with you; don’t go out alone. Keep a few trash bags in your car and take one with you for “carry in, carry out” etiquette. Apply insect repellent before you begin your walk, and check for ticks when you return home. Our Jackson Pathfinders volunteers trim briars and branches, clear fallen trees, install trail markers and signs, maintain boardwalks and bridges - and much more. We love the beauty of nature and do everything we can to pass that along to others. We receive support from Jackson’s Town Council, Public Works Department, Recreation Department and Environmental Commission. We serve as a local advocacy group for New Jersey’s Forest Resource Education Center, and we gladly partner with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts on their own special projects. The beauty of Jackson’s natural lands calls to us. Out on the trail we breathe clean, virus-free air and experience the refreshing scent of the forest, the awesome flowing streams and the traffic-free quiet. The Jackson Pathfinders look forward to sharing with you our love for nature and for the trails which lead us there! Our website is jacksonpathfinders. org.

Jackson Air Force Veteran Honored
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - The New Jersey PGA and its charitable arm, the New Jersey Golf Foundation - in conjunction with PGA REACH, a charitable foundation of the PGA of America recently named a township Air Force Veteran as a PGA Works Fellow. Jared Forest served in the U.S. Air Force from 2010 to 2016 as part of the 2021 PGA Works Fellow class. PGA Works was established in 2017 as a grant program facilitating nine-12-month paid positions for recent college graduates. This program introduces golf to veterans with disabilities to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. Forest will also provide operations support for NJPGA tournaments and events. Following his graduation from Jackson Memorial High School, Forest joined the Air Force in 2010 where he was primarily stationed at Edwards Air Force Base in Edwards, California as a member of the 412th Security Forces Squadron. During his service, Forest graduated from the Community College of the Air Force with an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice. He served two deployments and 13 months in deployed locations and received the Air Force Achievement Medal for his action in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. After six years of service, Forest decided in 2016 that it was time to pursue his love for sports and continued his education at Temple University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Sport and Recreation Management. His passion for sports led him to serve as a General Analyst in the Temple University Sports Industry Research Center, Player Personnel Manager
for the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League and the Communications Coordinator for the New York Guardians of the XFL. He is currently enrolled at the University of Florida as he pursues a Master of Science in Sport Management with a concentration in Athlete Development. Forest said he was “eternally grateful for the opportunity to work with the New Jersey Section of the PGA and the New Jersey Golf Foundation. It has always been my goal to translate my experiences and background in sports in a way that will help my brothers and sisters in the Veteran sector.” “I am looking forward to aiding in whatever way I can to continue to expand the mission of the New Jersey Golf Foundation as it positively impacts lives and communities through the game of golf,” Forest added. New Jersey Golf Foundation Executive Director Chris Hunt said, “as a military Veteran and a passionate sports enthusiast, Forest will be instrumental in leading the continued growth of our successful PGA HOPE program, while supporting core programs and special events for the NJ Section and NJ Golf Foundation.” The PGA WORKS Fellowship is a nine month to year-long paid position, funded by PGA REACH, which currently hosts Fellows in the following PGA Sections: Carolinas, Connecticut, Gateway, Metropolitan, Michigan, Middle Atlantic, New Jersey, Northern Ohio, Southern Ohio, Western New York and South Florida. Forest is the fourth PGA WORKS Fellow for the New Jersey Section. For additional information on PGA REACH, visit pgareach.org.

How Long Do Hearing Aids Last?
There are many conflicting articles focusing on the longevity of hearing aids. In my practice, the average life is between 4-6 years but there are many factors that will impact the lifespan of a hearing aid: • How long you wear you’re hearing aids on a daily basis. For example, if you wear your hearing instruments 12 hrs./ day, that equates to 4400 hrs. per year or 20,000 hours over a 5-year period. • Frequency of cleaning: We encourage all of our patients to use a soft dry toothbrush to clean the hearing aids on a daily basis. If you fail to do so, the hearing aids will break down frequently. Ask you hearing care professional for AUDIOWIPES as well. • Where hearing aids are worn: In general, the ultra-small “custom” hearing aids have poor reliability statistics and
will be replaced 1-2 yrs. sooner than other styles. • A person’s body physiology: Many patients create excessive cer umen buildup (wax) and profusely sweat. Sweat creates moisture which commonly invades the circuit and shuts down the hearing aid. An electronic dehumidifier is recommended to dry out the hearing instruments. • Frequency of Maintenance: Just like a car needs periodic oil and filter changes, tire rotations, etc. you’re hearing aids should be checked by a hearing healthcare professional at least two times year. If that Practice does not schedule you for these visits in advance, I would go somewhere else. Dr. Izzy and his Staff are always here to answer your questions about hearing care issues.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

6 Ways To Help Hashimoto’s Disease
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Thyroid hormone is not always understood, so I’ll tell you that it is a fat-burning switch. If the hormone swings low, you gain weight, if it’s elevated you may not be able to gain weight. With the auto-immune condition Hashimoto’s, your levels of thyroid hormone may be like a pendulum driving you crazy with varying symptoms. I think many people have this condition and do not know it yet. Today’s article is to help you understand the symptoms, as well as new information about it. Hashimoto’s disease is an immune disorder and condition in which your own immune system attacks your thyroid. When the human body’s own immune system targets the thyroid gland as if it were a foreign tissue, it causes an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid gland termed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; other names for this condition include chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or chronic thyroiditis. A new study published in June 2021, in the Romanian Journal of Internal Medicine found that the ratio of uric acid to HDL cholesterol are elevated. Both uric acid and HDLF can be measured with simple blood tests. Hashi’s like other autoimmune conditions will cause pro-inflammatory cytokines that attack different systems of the body. So antioxidants are very important, and a clean diet is too. Digestive enzymes are important for a person with any type of autoimmune condition because they help reduce the burden of partially digested proteins in your body, which sometimes exacerbate your symptoms. When a dietary antigen is seen by your immune system - and I’m thinking gluten or casein - your
immune system goes to work to fight that off, not realizing it is attacking it’s own tissue. So your intestinal microflora plays a role, and probiotics are useful, especially in Graves’ disease, but I wonder if digestive enzymes are even more important. Other symptoms of thyroid dysfunction include problems with memory. Is it crisp and do you focus on what people are saying? Do you have more anxiety lately or suffer with insomnia? Brain problems are an under-diagnosed, but well-known phenomena that occur with this condition, and it’s called Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy. Sometimes thyroid problems can be mitigated with antioxidants (especially those that specifically break down peroxide and turn it into water and oxygen). Some of the things you can do to help yourself with Hashimoto’s include the following: 1. Reduce peroxide and break it down with catalase enzyme 2. Calm down the inflamed tissues by eating a low histamine diet 3. Consider minerals like selenium to support healthy TPO levels 4. Take protease enzymes and/or DPPIV to help break down gluten and casein 5. Routinely check blood levels for thyroid antibodies, uric acid, HDL, free T3/T4 and more 6. Consider probiotics and a high-quality B complex vitamin Certain foods can trigger you, especially those that are high in histamine. I wrote a special Food Guide that I’m giving away called “Hashi No No’s” and it’s downloadable at my website store.suzycohen.com/hashi-no-no.

Radio Club Connects With Others Around The World
By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – Despite starting the day with some showers, the Ocean Monmouth Amateur Radio Club (OMARC) hosted a successful Field Day, connecting to over 40 states in America and parts of Canada through airwaves. The OMARC was founded in 1977 and serves Ocean and Monmouth Counties. Field
Day is the most popular on-air event held annually where radio amateurs gather with their clubs, groups or with friends to operate from remote locations. Although part of the event is a contest where clubs compete to contact as many other stations as possible, others use it to learn how to operate radio gear in unusual situations and use the day as an opportunity to practice their emergency
response capabilities. This year, OMARC held their Field Day event at Echo Lake Park, having multiple antennas set up outside and other equipment inside due to the rain. Denis O’Brien, who’s been the president of the OMARC since 2002, explained how the event will run for 24 hours non-stop, and will use multiple different types of radios to demonstrate how to connect with
others. “I’m on solar power, so there’s no electricity involved. Very low power transmits, so it’s meant to be like simulating an emergency situation,” OMARC member Scott said. “If we happen to lose all communication and no power, we have the ability to set up antenna in an emergency,” O’Brien said. “That’s what Field Day is all about, it’s a simulation of an actual emergency. We’re here to help. And it’s also fun for us, we get to use our radios.” “I used to work on a ship as the ship’s radio officer. That’s how I got interested in this. As a radio officer, I was responsible for if the ship was going down, I had to take the radio to the life boat,” O’Brien said. The OMARC currently has around 50 members who are licensed operators. Those members have the option to upgrade their license, reaching a higher class allows them to use more of the frequency spectrum. At Field Day, members use either morse code, digital nodes and regular voice devices, in total using four transmitters at the event. Outside at the edge of Echo Lake, O’Brien and two other members were operating a battery powered radio “So, what you hear is some of these beeps are a high pitched or low pitched sound. He’s (Denis) tuning in and listening to just the one that he likes,” member David Drapkin said. “Denis heard the call from the other operator and he responded with our group ‘N2M0.’ The other person responded ‘N2M0 I recognize you’ and now it’s our turn. Denis then sent out the quality of the signal and our information like our club category and so on.” Through this initial trial, O’Brien connected with two guys who were using two radios from a home location in Illinois. “After both sides have confirmed communication, the club logs the info and enters it into the record. When they’re all done, they tally it up,” Drapkin said. O’Brien went on to discuss how he’s been able to connect with hundreds if not thousands of people around the world through radios. “When I was testing this morning, I was talking to a guy in France. In the past I’ve talked to Australia, New Zealand and more. The radio propagation has to be just right, so it doesn’t happen every day. Right now, we are coming out of the low part of the solar cycle. The solar cycle is every 11 years. We are just coming out of the bottom and move up. So, things are getting better, but not perfect. They will in a couple of years,” O’Brien explained. “It’s really out of our control. All we can do is recognize when things are rooting for us to get long distances and we go after it,” Drapkin said. “Denis is using an antenna that is a basic wire antenna and has a single strand of wire on each side. With the big antenna we have, having three elements in a row like that end up like a magnify glass and they multiple the power, being a directional beam antenna. The idea is that we steer it and becomes highly focused. You can’t hear it from the sides, but it sounds like you have more power. That way you can reach even further distances… even on days when the atmosphere isn’t working its best for our needs. Just by having a bigger antenna, it allows us to go further distances.” (Radio - See Page 23)

Around The Jersey Shore Health Officials Concerned About Jamestown Canyon Virus
By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – State and county health departments are keeping watch for any reports of Jamestown Canyon Virus (JVC) that emerge following a confirmed case in Sussex County. A Sussex County man in his 60s tested positive for JCV after an onset of fever and neurological symptoms last month. This is the first detection of this mosquito-borne disease in New Jersey this year and only the second human case of JCV reported in the state (the first case was in 2015, also in Sussex County).

Symptoms Many illnesses caused by JCV are mild, but moderate-to-severe central nervous system involvement requiring hospitalization have been reported, including fatal infections. Those infected with mosquito and tickborne diseases may not develop any symptoms, or only develop very mild symptoms. Early symptoms include flulike illness including fever, muscle aches, headaches, and fatigue, which may be confused with other illnesses, including COVID-19. Some mosquito and tickborne infections can also cause more serious central nervous system disease, including meningitis or encephalitis (e.g., Eastern Equine Encephalitis, JCV, Powassan, West Nile virus). Commissioner Persichilli added,“if you or someone you know is experiencing flu-like symptoms, including fever and headache, contact your healthcare provider and let them know if you suspect a mosquito or tickborne illness.” Along with JCV, Garden State residents are also at risk from other mosquito-borne diseases, including West Nile vir us (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), which are generally seen in summer and early fall until mosquitoes are no longer biting. Prevention JCV is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito and there are no vaccines to prevent JCV and treatment consists of supportive care. The virus has not been detected in mosquitoes yet this season but has been detected in prior years. “From the protection standpoint, we certainly take all types of potential vector borne illness from mosquitoes and ticks that are prevalent in our region - which are the two of the biggest carriers of disease,” Ocean County Health Department Chief of Administrative Services/Public Information Brian Lippai said. He added, “people should be vigilant of their surroundings and plan to protect themselves when enjoying the outdoors
especially in and around wooded/tall grass areas (ticks) and areas that hold standing water - the place mosquitoes breed.” Lippai noted that “the weather moving forward this summer will also dictate our mosquito season. More rain can lead to more standing water and better breeding opportunities.” The county health department monitors mosquito-borne illnesses through state reports. As of June 23, the report showed that all 34 of the mosquito pools that were tested for JCV in the county were negative. If someone in Ocean tested positive, health officials said they would interview them to determine the patient’s activities. That way, they can find the source for the mosquito(s) and eliminate it. The department would then work with the state and local health providers. Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said “spending time outdoors, whether walking, gardening, or playing with our dogs, is a good way to maintain physical and mental health, but it is important to take steps to prevent mosquito and tick bites, which are responsible for several diseases in New Jersey. “When enjoying the outdoors, remember to use an EPA-registered insect repellent, cover skin with clothing when you can, and check yourself and your pets for ticks and quickly remove them with tweezers,” Persichilli said. NJ Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette said his agency’s Office of Mosquito Control and Coordination works closely with the DOH and county mosquito control agencies to monitor and reduce mosquito populations and limit potential public health risks as much as possible. “New Jersey residents can help to reduce these risks by taking steps to eliminate standing water on the grounds of their homes and businesses. Checking flowerpots, pet food and water dishes, birdbaths, swimming pool covers and other places that hold water can significantly reduce the risk of mosquito bites and the illnesses they can carry. Having taken these steps, if you still notice a mosquito problem around your home, reach out to your county mosquito control program for assistance,” LaTourette said. As people are susceptible to mosquito-borne disease, they can also cause severe illness and death in horses. “The Department of Agriculture encourages animal owners to be vigilant in vaccinating their animals against diseases spread by mosquitoes. Vaccinated animals are much less likely to contract deadly diseases (Virus - See Page 25)

Radio:
Continued From Page 16 Last year, Field Day still took place despite the coronavirus pandemic. Although members and visitors could not meet up, they had to operate on their own and at the end they combined their scores. “There’s so many other facets to amateur radio besides the long-distance communication. There’re folks who join just to computer chat using radio, not connected to the internet. You build a network outside of the world network and it’s just radio to radio, but there’s computer’s instead of microphones and instead of morse code,” Drapkin said. Not all radios have to be big in order to talk to someone. Something as small as a walkie-talkie radio can be used to connect. “This idea of using this small radio (walkie-talkie), we don’t have to talk very far. All you have to do is reach the repeating station. The station will take your signal high into the air and send it out to a much broader area,”
The Jackson Times, July 3, 2021, Page 23 Drapkin said. After the 24 hour-long Field Day, they club reached over 40 states in America and also parts of Canada, as they displayed a map tracking where each member had connected to. The OMARC holds meetings on the second Saturday of each month at 9 a.m. at the Spring Lake Heights Volunteer Fire Company Number One, located at 700 Sixth Avenue in Spring Lake Heights, in the second floor meeting room. They also get together every Saturday morning at 9 a.m. and on the second and fourth Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m. at the firehouse. They are currently are transitioning back to in-person meetings at the fire house meeting room and the radio room in the basement, with a combination of in-person and zoom gatherings. If you are interested in joining, email Joe Kruszewski at Joekru1@hotmail.com. To learn more about the OMARC, visit n2mo.org. To learn more about Field Day, visit arrl.org/Field-Day.
First Residents Of Ocean Medical Center Graduate By Alyssa Riccardi BRICK – Being honored as the first class of residents at Hackensack Meridian Ocean Medical Center, the 2018 inaugural class have officially graduated and will begin their practice in Family Medicine and Psychiatry specialties. Not only are these doctors the first to enter the Graduate Medical Education (GME) program, but they completed a three-year residency program during one of the toughest times with the COVID-19 pandemic. “Today is a significant milestone as we further our mission to provide the clinical foundation for doctors to skillfully and safely treat patients now and in the future,” Jason Kreitner, MHA, FACHE, president and chief hospital executive said. “I am honored to be joined here with our first resident graduating class and their families. No one could have predicted a pandemic during your clinical training right, did you sign up for this? Expect this? Did anyone ever think this just a year and a half go? You continued to shine with compassion during this pandemic. You really got Ocean Medical Center through one of the most challenging times this organization has ever been through. Your support to our nurses and our team - when we needed you guys, you were there for us.” The 2018 inaugural class consisted of eight family medicine and six psychiatry residents. At the graduation ceremony held of June 18 at the Remembrance Garden, nine residents received diplomas. The other five psychiatry residents from this class have opted to obtain optional psychiatry tracks that require additional training and will
graduate in the coming years. “This first class of residents have experienced both rewarding and challenging three years of on-the-job training,” Vincent J. Vivona, D.O. J.D., FACP, FCLM, CHCQM, chief medical officer said. “Residency is the busiest and most intense time in their career; however, the past 18 months of training during the COVID-19 pandemic was testament to their dedication and strength with a purpose to sharpen their clinical skills in medical procedures, patient care, and quality control.” Currently, Ocean Medical Center’s GME program holds 60 residency positions in family medicine, internal medicine and psychiatry. “I am so proud to share this special day with these graduates and their families as they start the next phase of their medical career,” Kenneth N. Sable, M.D., MBA, FACEP, regional president, southern market, Hackensack Meridian Health said. “Thank you to all of our residents. As Jason said, you didn’t sign up expecting this to be a pandemic, and residency is hard enough. When we’re in the middle of a pandemic, for all of you to really come to work every single day, be there for your patients, for their families, for each other and never complain is truly remarkable and it’s really the precursor to what you all are going to be in your careers as physicians.” At the ceremony, two graduates were presented with the Resident of the Year Award. Those who received it are Nicole Gabrielle Babushkin, M.D, of Family Medicine and Sade Diahann Frazier, D.O., of General Psychiatry.

BUSINESS PROFILE
A worry free and independent lifestyle is what every Aging Adult wants! Experts tell us that the greatest challenge to holding onto our cherished independence as we age is due to the effects of a disengaged retirement and the aging process. Less physical activity, feelings of isolation and loneliness that comes from losing friends or life partners, less purpose and fewer social engagements can all contribute to depression and a sedentary lifestyle that can have negative impacts on c ognitive and physical health and well-being. This became so much more apparent during this past year with the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic restrictions. The reality is that where you live matters! Living alone and caring for a property, large or small, gets tougher as we get older. Even the healthiest of aging adult homeowners no longer want to endure the physical rigors of maintenance projects and costly repairs that put a strain on budgets and add worry to our lives.
Independent Senior Living could be the answer!
Age restricted Independent Living Communities are for seniors who require minimal or no assistance but want less work and more peace of mind. They are designed to offer aging adults their own private residences, while living in a supportive and secure environment that they can Thrive in. Independent living residences may be apartments or freestanding homes usually obtained through a rental arrangement. Hospitality and supportive
amenities are generally provided for a monthly fee. The convenience of access to higher levels of care are often available. One of the main objectives of Independent living Communities is to offer a daily abundance of physically and socially engaging recreational activities, opportunities to meet new people, experience the joy of camaraderie and enjoy their retirement years to the fullest, with peace of mind. Researchers have long known about the benefits of staying active and building “Social Capital” – the social ties that build trust, connection, and resiliency as we age. One of the most apparent benefits of independent living is the enormous peace of mind it provides for residents as well as concerned family members who worry about their loved ones living alone and what would happen if there was a fall or health episode with no one there to help. Moving to an independent living environment, where residents are never isolated and alone brings that peace of mind to families, knowing that in an emergency, help is always close by. Families taking tours of various senior living options will look for features and amenities such as robust recreation offerings, fitness centers, educational opportunities, wellness programs and access to on-site healthcare.
What is the ideal community that offers this lifestyle? Silverwoods Independent Living by Complete Care is one of the best of these communities because it is dedicated to enhancing lives. The
Silverwoods, part of the Complete Care family, is located at 1700 Rt 37 West in Toms River.
A mother and daughter share a laugh during a visit at Silverwoods. unique 55-acre park-like campus with spacious garden-style apartment homes is a community where residents’ needs are taken care of from the start – and active living takes every shape and form. The most ambitious activities agenda facilitates active minds and bodies all day with physically invigorating choices like walking club, swimming, tai chi or yoga classes and Wii bowling tournaments. These are complemented by educational seminars and
lively social gatherings such as joining friends for cocktails at happy hour or full course dinners in our newly renovated restaurant dining room. Staying connected to the larger community through volunteer opportunities and frequent outings add to this active lifestyle with trips to Atlantic City, Seaside Boardwalk, theatre shows, restaurants, museums, religious services and more. As a rule, care is not offered at independent living communities, how-
ever, Executive Director Katie Davis states “I am proud that health, nutrition and safety play major roles in everyday living at Silverwoods”. Included in the premium services program are wellness visits and checks by a licensed nurse, code alert for medical emergencies, a brand-new on-site Wellness Center staffed by a Geriatric Provider for Primary Care, Lab Testing, Podiatr y and other services. Luxury amenities include chef prepared meals served
in our beautiful club house restaurant, weekly housekeeping, scheduled bus transportation and a new concierge service for off campus medical appointments.

Virus:
Continued From Page 18 such as Eastern Equine encephalitis and West Nile virus,” Secretary of Agriculture Douglas Fisher said. Preventative steps you can take concerning mosquito and tickborne diseases include: • Wear EPA-registered insect repellant when outdoors and wear protective clothing (long sleeves and pants). Light-colored clothing helps you spot ticks! Cover crib, stroller and baby car riers with mosquito netting. • Avoid being outdoors during dawn and dusk when mosquitos are most active. • Shower as soon as possible after spending time outdoors and wash and dry your clothing. Tumbling clothes in a dryer on high heat for 10 minutes will kill ticks on dry clothing (damp clothes may need more time). • Check for ticks frequently and at least daily, on you and your pets. Ticks can hide under the armpits, behind the knees, in the hair, and in the groin. Early removal of ticks (with tweezers) can reduce the risk of infection. • When in tick-infested areas, walk in the center of trails to avoid contact with overgrown grass, brush, and leaf litter at trail edges. • Treat clothing with permethrin, ideal for persons who hike or spend a lot of time outdoors.
The Jackson Times, July 3, 2021, Page 25 • Monitor your health closely after a tick bite and during mosquito season and be alert for symptoms of illness. Contact your healthcare provider to discuss testing and treatment. • Repair holes in screens to keep mosquitoes outside and use air conditioning when possible. • Reduce areas where hosts for ticks, such as rodents and deer, can congregate to eat, sleep or feed. • Trim weeds and tall grasses that can provide an outdoor home for ticks. Empty standing water at least once or twice a week from flowerpots, pet dishes, birdbaths, swimming pool covers, buckets, barrels, cans, etc. • Drill holes in the bottom and elevate recycling and other containers if left outdoors. Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use. Repair and clean storm-damaged roof gutters, particularly if leaves from surrounding trees tend to clog drains. Roof gutters can produce millions of mosquitoes each season! • Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish. Water gardens become major mosquito producers if they stagnate! Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, including when not in use. • Protect your pets by using tick prevention medications and/or vaccines as advised by a veterinarian. Remember – your pets can bring ticks indoors! • Vaccinate your horses against Eastern Equine Encephalitis and West Nile virus.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jul 3 - jul 9 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Moving your body charges up your mind. The more active you are, the better you’ll feel and the more likely you’ll realize your dreams. As the week unfolds, get out to meet people who’ll be impressed by your accomplishments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Strength and determination can allow for gentleness, too. Even in business affairs, a little compassion and generosity is necessary. Use strategies that take the needs of others into consideration in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may frequently change your mind or go around in circles without making a final decision. Wait until later in the week to commit yourself to a plan of action. Your spouse or partner may be your best friend. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Lead the pack. There may be plenty of incentives to work hard and be diligent about meeting your objectives. You may be encouraged by your partner’s ambitions or focused on achieving your own goals in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stretch your legs whenever you have a chance, because you might be stuck behind a desk for too many hours in the upcoming week. Harmony-loving Venus has entered your zodiac sign, so expect to enjoy plenty of social activities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There may be more than one worthy cause that pleads for support during the upcoming week. You probably won’t mind spending a little to serve a higher purpose. However, don’t put all your charitable eggs in one basket. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Projecting a
forgiving attitude should keep you at the top of your game and promote a positive team spirit. In the week ahead, you might benefit by following someone’s inspiring lead. You may be able to act on imaginative ideas. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone who says “yes” today may say “no” later in the week. Make sure your strategy includes a provision for changes at potentially inconvenient times. Focus on making your bank account as healthy as possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Anything you can imagine you likely can achieve. Put inspiring notions down on paper in case you’re distracted and forget them. You can make a favorable impression on others with thoughtful actions in the week to come. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may find it difficult to decide who gets the final vote if you and a partner discuss a major undertaking. A loved one or collaborator may have a better vision of how best to handle financial affairs in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Drum up some enthusiasm for games, sports or drop-in visitors. A loved one might be more willing to spend time with you in competitive situations. Remain poised to adapt to unforeseen changes in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Try not to be vague about your opinions. Once you decide to help someone or make an investment of your time, show a firm commitment. You’ll get the best results if you’re utterly sincere in whatever you say or do.
