Proposed Development Awaits Traffic Study
In This Week’s Edition
Officials: Vaccinations Still Needed
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - There is no shortage of COVID-19 vaccine in Ocean County, and there is plenty to meet the demand, said public information officer for the Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Brian Lippai. Attendance at the clinics are somewhat down at the moment as compared to when the vaccine first became available, he said, and said he attributes that to “summertime pandemic fatigue.” He said people who wanted the shot early on and were anxious to get vaccinated have it by now. “What we’re trying to do now is urge folks who are kind of on the fence to seriously look into getting vaccinated,” he said in a recent phone interview. “Do your homework - you’ll see that the vaccine is very safe and very effective. They help contain the spread, and ultimately it saves lives, and getting the vaccine lessens the severity of the disease,” Lippai said. “There are so many benefits.”

Lakehurst Naval Base Turns 100
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Sailor Govea Celestine, a logistics specialist seaman recruit, began her Navy career eight months ago, moving from Fort Worth, Texas to the Joint Base in the borough. She quickly realized she was working in a very historic place. This year marks the centen nial year for
L a kehu r s t a nd t he Lakehurst Naval Base. This milestone was recently celebrated near the famous Hangar 1. The facility’s place in aviation history is well known as the ‘airship capitol of the world.’ Lakehurst’s town symbol is the airship and it is synonymous with the Hindenburg disaster that occurred more than eight decades ago.
That tragedy, however, does not define a century’s worth of work and technological advancement. The recent celebration featured speakers and concluding with a special cake cutting ceremony. There were helicopters and jets on display and attendees were invited to explore Hanger 1 and the various attractions present inside.
Also present were USO, Red Cross, food tents, and military support groups. Representatives for Senator Bob Menendez (D NJ), Senator Donald Norcross (D-1st), and Congressman Ch ris Smith (R-4th) made presentations and Ocean County Commissioner Joseph Vicari, Toms River Mayor and Navy veteran Maurice “Mo”

New Emergency Coordinator Named
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A chain of command is important in day-to-day police work, and it’s even more important when there’s an emergency. Not that anyone wants to think about another Superstorm Sandy, but part of planning for an event like that is having an Office of Emergency Management Coordinator step in. Detective Michael Tier was sworn into that position at a recent Township Council meeting. Detective Tier was born and raised in Berkeley, and graduated from Central Regional High School in 2003. He earned a bachelor’s of arts in history from Moravian College. (OEM - See Page 9)

Road:
Continued From Page 1 and it’s hard to navigate past each other if two cars are coming from opposite directions. Cars parked on the side of the road make it even more difficult. There’s a sharp S-shaped turn that is of major concern to the residents, as is an area school bus stop. Township Planner James Oris said that the Planning Board shares residents’ concerns regarding traffic. The development was to be heard at the July 1 Planning Board meeting but that hearing was adjourned. The developer said a traffic engineer was hired to perform the study, but more time was required to complete it. The hearing was rescheduled to the Board’s August 5 meeting. During the May 6 meeting, which was the last one that was held on the issue, the developer’s attorney, Paul Werther, said that the plan is a renewal of one that was approved in 2014. However, there was a delay with the State Department of Environmental Protection which meant that they had to return. The developer’s engineer, Jeffrey Carr, said that DEP rules are more stringent now, so this plan is better for the environment. For example, driveways use porous pavers, the roofs collect water and deposit into the ground, and small recharge basins recharge the groundwater. These basins were an issue for some Planning Board members as there needed to be some guarantee that the residents would maintain them. The township didn’t
want that responsibility. “Is my property going to be f looded because my neighbor didn’t take care of his property?” Planning Board Chairman Nick Mackres asked, putting himself in the place of a resident there. There was a discussion about forming a homeowners association to take care of that issue. Township Engineer Ernie Peters said that the average homeowner doesn’t know how to take care of these basins, and it might fall to the township anyway. A homeowners association only has so much power to enforce things. The developer builds a project and walks away, and residents are left to complain to the town about it. Carr said the basins may never need maintenance and they are becoming more common throughout the state. The engineers were going to research the best way to handle the drainage issues of the property before coming back before the Planning Board. The developer has already donated 4.5 acres of the property to the township as a conservation easement, Werther said. This means that the town will keep this as passive open space in exchange for allowing the developer to build on another portion of the property. The developer also gave the town $125,000 in lieu of not building sidewalks. Planning Board Attorney Gregory McGuckin made it a point that although it was approved in 2014, this is a different Planning Board.

Continued From Page 1 The captain, who will be concluding his time as the base’s commander, said, “thank you for being here - for coming to celebrate a centennial of service here at Lakehurst. It is a beautiful day for a birthday. We are here to reflect on 100 years of our nation’s most unique military installation.” He said the event honors “not only of what we’ve done here over the last century but of the evolution of a community. In the hangar behind us and the fields over here bore the spirit of innovation. Fearless aviators, engineers, craftsman and those who support, came, learned, lived, served and turned their eye to the heavens, had aspirations to fly and touched the clouds. As we stand in the shadow of Hangar 1 we are joined by heroes.” Captain Sherrod described Jablonski and Zitarosa as “true lamplighters of Lakehurst who keep the torch of knowledge and history alive for our community. They remind us of where we came from, not to relish in our past and the greatness that once was, but to find comfort and to help us understand the determination that is intrinsic in all of us as service members to serve our nation and our communities.” “They built things to last back then. Today, this hangar still serves the needs of the military. They train people on flight deck operations. It is a storage facility for airplane parts. We have several display areas here,” Jablonski said regarding the Society’s Museum.

Kim: Bill Would Boost Local Construction Hiring
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd), Congressman John Garamendi (CA-03), Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01), and Congressman August Pf luger (TX-11) introduced the bipartisan Put Our Neighbors to Work Act, a bill that would create more opportunities for local workers from military construction projects. The Put Our Neighbors to Work Act would increase opportunities for local jobs from military construction projects by providing a preference for contractors located within the same
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy and Secretary of Higher Education Dr. Brian Bridges announced the awardees of nearly $30 million in federal funding that will be distributed to New Jersey institutions of higher education to support the core priorities of the State Plan for Higher Education and address the impacts of COVID-19 on postsecondary students. About $28.5 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Education, through the second round of Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) funding, will be awarded to 35 public and public-mission private institutions that receive state operating aid. These institutions will implement vetted best practices that increase college completion, address barriers to student success, and develop sustainable systemic reforms. In addition, more than $1 million will
state, or within 60 miles of the construction project. The bill would also help local workers by increasing transparency and awareness of military construction projects of over $250,000, allowing local contractors to be better informed of opportunities. “I’ve heard from so many of ou r work i ng people across New Jersey ready to help strengthen our Joint Base and contribute to our community; it’s up to us to make sure they have the opportunity,” said Congressman Kim. “This bill will help unlock the incredible
local economic potential of military facilities like Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and ensure that federal dollars coming for construction not only build new facilities, but stronger economic opportunities for working families. I look forward to working with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to get this bill passed and deliver on our promise to working people back home.” “I am proud to stand with Cong ressman K im and work to ensure that union workers and small businesses are at the front of the
line for multi-million dollar construction projects on military basses, especially as we work to build back from the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Congressman John Garamendi, chair of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, which has jurisdiction over all U.S. military bases, installations, and buildings. “Local workers are ready, able, and willing to do the job of rebuilding our nation’s military installations, and I am thrilled to be an original cosponsor of this critical legislation. Congressman Kim is a cham-
pion for American workers and small businesses. I will work tirelessly with him to enact his ‘Put Our Neighbors to Work Act’ into law.” “As our economy continues to reopen, New Jersey’s union workers and working families need our support and deserve access to local job opportunities,” said Congressman Norcross. “This bill would ensure our small businesses and workers are aware of the open opportunities within our community at the Joint Base. I’m pleased to work with my colleagues in support of this initiative, which

be awarded to 11 public institutions to combat food insecurity among students. “Our institutions of higher education have provided a high quality of education to our students throughout the pandemic, despite challenging circumstances,” said Governor Murphy. “Supporting our institutions will continue to be a priority as they work to provide an equitable educational experience for students, prepare them for the jobs of the future and meet challenges ahead.” “Through this critical federal funding, New Jersey is prioritizing students’ needs and ensuring our workforce will be ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s post-pandemic economy,” said Secretary Bridges. “We appreciate that institutions are committing to this challenge and look forward to learning from the innovative best practices implemented, as we strive to meet the state’s
goal of 65 percent of residents earning a high-quality credential by 2025.” Opportunity Meets Innovation Challenge Grants
A total of 35 institutions will be receiving $28.5 million in funding to support the launch of the “Opportunity Meets Innovation Challenge,” a competitive grant program to implement best practices and develop sustainable system-wide reforms as the state builds long-term resiliency. In implementing these strategies, institutions will be focusing on students who are historically disadvantaged, including underrepresented minorities, low-income students, and working-age adults. Many of these populations were among the hardest hit by the pandemic, which resulted in declines in enrollments, challenges to student success, and unprecedented unemployment

figures. Funding will help boost college completion and ensure a robust pipeline of talent is matched to workforce demands. Institutions chose from a series of interventions reflecting the five core priority areas of the State Plan: expanding opportunities for students to gain early college exposure; improving college affordability; fostering student success; promoting safe and inclusive learning environments; and cultivating research, innovation, and talent. Through this funding, institutions will be embarking on projects including expanding dual enrollment programs to increase access and eliminate affordability barriers for low-income students; expanding wraparound supports to help encourage student retention by addressing barriers such as food insecurity or lack of childcare; and implementing free-of-cost bridge programs serving first-generation and Pell-eligible students as they
transition from high school to college and/or from virtual to in-person learning. Other initiatives include expanding student mental health services and building peer mentor programs; and increasing student success in gateway courses, particularly math, to help reduce students’ cost and ensure success in Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Locally, Brookdale Community College received $374,460.02 and Georgian Court University received $200,000. The number of awards were based on the quantity and quality of applications received.

Kim and Rep. Garamendi to increase transparency of available military construction projects and prioritize local hiring, therefore ensuring the local communities that support military bases continue to benefit from the economic boon of their presence.”
public institutions. Funding is only available to public institutions that received “Hunger-Free Campus” designation for meeting all requirements during the 202021 academic year. Grant funding will be used to address student hunger, leverage more sustainable solutions to address basic food needs on campuses, raise awareness of currently-offered campus services, and continue building strategic partnerships at the local, state, and national levels to address food insecurity among students. Locally, Kean University received $56,200.00 and Ocean County College received $79,317.56. The number of awards were based on the quantity and quality of applications received. Additional institutions may not have received funding but obtained the “Hunger-Free Campus” designation for academic year 2020-21.

Covid:
Continued From Page 1 The OCHD is also making a push to get college students vaccinated before they return to school this fall. The number of Ocean County residents getting their shots vary on a daily basis. The two mega-centers at RWJ Barnabas Arena at Toms River High School North and at Southern Regional High School have shut down and the department
is focusing on “pop-up” clinics. “We’re asking people to invite us wherever they want us to come,” Lippai said. “We’re willing to go.” For example, the department was recently invited to run a clinic at a senior community where they administered less than 10 vaccines, “which is more than were vaccinated yesterday,” he said. The number of COVID patients has leveled off, with occasional spikes and dips, Lippai said. The OCHD expects to see a spike increase in
the fall when children return to school. He said he hopes this would motivate some parents to get vaccinated. The Delta variant, which the Center for Disease Control (CDC) says is the most common coronavirus strain for new infections in the US, could also play a role in an upward trend, he added. Not every sample collected by the OCHD is tested for the Delta variant, Lippai said. “If a specimen tests positive, the state can test further for Delta and other variants,” he explained.

How they determine that is based on a number of factors, including a specific request by the OCHD because contact tracing has identified a person who had been around others known to have the Delta variant. There is also a random selection of testing based on other flags that may warrant further investigation, Lippai said. The public information officer was asked if residents should still be wearing masks even though masks are not required in New Jersey. He said the department recommends following guidelines established by the CDC and by the state, which says fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear a mask indoors. Lippai said if you are immunocompromised or at high risk for other health reasons, wear a mask. “It’s up to the individual - if you feel that you’re going into a high-risk situation, or you’re a highrisk individual yourself, that’s something you might want to think about,” he said. The CDC website says masks are still required of everyone when on planes, buses, trains and other forms of public transportation in the United States. Also, those who have not been fully vaccinated should continue to wear a mask and maintain social distancing. The OCHD has COVID-19 vaccine clinics scheduled at convenient locations throughout the month of July. For more information visit OCHD.org.

Around The Jersey Shore Easterseals Day Program Restarts
By Bob Vosseller LACEY - After being closed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Easterseals NJ has reopened its Day Habilitation programs statewide, specifically in Lacey, Sayreville and Oakhurst. Easterseals NJ’s Day Habilitation program works with individuals who have an intellectual and/or developmental disabilites to assist them in achieving their life goals. Participants, who must be 21 or older, are taught valuable life skills through instruction and real-world experiences so they can better participate in their community. They focus on social and communications skills, self-care and recreation. The organization operates five-day Habilitation facilities across the state and has been having a difficult time keeping the programs operating efficiently as a result of overall lack of operational funding, staff members said. The agency has also been hit with insufficient reimbursement rates, lack of transportation funding or compensation as well as lack of reimbursement for absenteeism. Sophie Alba who serves as program director at the Lacey Easterseals NJ office spoke to Jersey Shore Online.com about what staff, consumers and their parents/caregivers have experienced during the pandemic. “We closed last March. We did a brief reopening in the fall and then we had to close back down again because the numbers went back up. We just reopened again in May,” Alba said. Alba noted the services that are provided saying, “today they are learning about Fourth of July and our rights and how we got them. Their right to vote specifically and how you would fill out a ballot. It is important for them to know what their rights are. We do daily living skills, washing, taking care of our area and ourself. We also have recreational activities.” “It is important for them to have different skills, different things that they can do and would like to do. We break it up into different areas. A lesson area and a life skills area. They do community inclusion where they go out into the community. We like to take them shopping so they can follow a grocery list. We also do a lot of health and wellness, exercise. Eating healthy and staying active,” she added. There has been an Easterseals office in Lacey for over 20 years. Alba said the pandemic had its toll on those who they serve. “A lot of them were literally in their home for the past year. I’ve been getting calls non stop about them needing to get back as it is so important for them to have social interaction and getting out. They all tell me how happy they are to be back here. “It has been hard. Some people are just coming back, they worked here prior,” Alba said, noting that currently the staff stands at around seven which is less than half the normal number of staff members they had prior to the pandemic. She noted that workers were not paid during the shutdown. “It is really hard for us to run the program and we want to help them to the best of our ability. We don’t get paid when they aren’t here. If someone gets sick now and they show any kinds
of symptoms they have to stay at home for two weeks and we don’t have anything to supplement us for that.” “We have been trying to work out ways to get people out in the community without transportation reimbursement and we do our in-house learning program.” Alba said. If the State budget didn’t address the full needs of Easterseals NJ they had discussed ways to preserve programs and staff. Ideas ranged from enacting a supplemental appropriation for an 8% rate increase for Day Habilitation programing which should be approximately $16 million in state dollars. Another proposed solution would have been to increase reimbursement rates for A, B, and C-tiered individuals by at least 15% in the next state budget to ensure long term sustainability. Also considered was the removal of the transportation requirement from the Day Habilitation program rate so service agencies can be reimbursed for this cost and to reimburse programs for holding spaces for absent participants at 33% of the rate that agencies would be able to bill should they have attended. “The Day Habilitation program is a valuable one - not only to the participant but to their family members and caregivers,” Brian Fitzgerald, CEO of Easterseals NJ said. “All of these individuals rely on the all-day productive and safe program that we as an organization provide to them. We give them a place to go every day, to socialize, to learn new skills.” Fitzgerald was pleased with the news that the June 30 passage of the state budget included a $25 million increase in funding for their Day Habilitation and Community Inclusion programs Agency spokesperson Terese Kelly Greer told Jersey Shore Online.com that “this increase is very important for Easterseals NJ overall but specifically for its Day Habilitation program because it get us back on the path to financial sustainability.” She noted that program was struggling as a result of overall lack of operational funding. In addition to the Day Habilitation funding, the budget also includes $42 million for increasing Direct Support Professional (DSP) wages and wages for supervisors. The budget also included funding for: • the enhanced residential rate; DSP work is not minimum wage work, and this budget recognizes this to increase Supported Employment’s reimbursement rate to $63 per hour. • Supportive Housing rental subsidies for individuals with mental health challenges ($5 million in funding) ensuring vulnerable New Jerseyans are included in our state’s recovery in the year ahead. the Division of Deaf & Hard of Hearing ($500,000) for support communication access, equipment distribution, community education and training, and information and referral to continue to help the deaf and hard of hearing individuals find work. Alba said the consumers’ caretakers “are all excited for them to come back. I am getting calls every day. They need them to get back. This is the only location for Ocean County and at the current time there are at least three open in the state.”

Around The Jersey Shore New Leadership Comes To Joint Base
By Bob Vosseller JOINT BASE-MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST – New leadership has come to the 99th Readiness Division headquarters at the Joint Base following the retirement of outgoing commander Major General Mark W. Palzer of Jackson. The 99th RD is responsible to more than 51,000 Army Reserve Soldiers in 454 units at 332 reserve-component facilities and 33 maintenance facilities in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia. Palzer assumed command in 2018. He told Jersey Shore Online.com at the time that it took him “only 20 years in the Army Reserve to make it where I could commute to work. “My wife says ‘now, I’m going to be home for the snow storms.’ What’s special about Ocean County and the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst community is - we really do feel the support here is extreme, it goes beyond what you see in other areas, to the point of multiple senior elected officials are frequently there at the base checking to see what can they do to help us be better prepared. Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is the second largest employer in the state of New Jersey,” he added. Palzer said the communities that surround it “help our soldiers be better soldiers; if I know that my soldier has a full-time job, then, I know I can bring him on when I need him... and I can send him back in and now he’s back at his/her job and that’s what helps keeps us (Army Reserve) healthy. Now that soldier has a steady income, he/she can provide for his/ her family, he can do a great job, he continues to learn, and I will tell you that they bring as much to the Army as the Army allows them to bring back to their civilian job.” He cites a significant financial benefit for employers of military communities like Ocean County or Burlington County, in that the military acts as a training resource which translates into their civilian job. “They get training on the military side, which the community doesn’t have to pay for.” He learned of a small police department who commended the Army Reserve as the department was “able to go and get the necessary training that the town couldn’t afford to pay for, and so the (Army Reserve Soldiers) were coming back in with all the critical training that they needed and sheriff’s deputies that had the training that all the big cities were getting, and it was all because they were able to be in the Army Reserve and it was free, because obviously it’s something we needed and it’s something that they need,” Palzer added. Major General Scottie D. Carpenter who officiated that change of command ceremony
described Palzer as “one of our most senior commanders, and is the head of our transformation team.” Palzer was responsible for administrative, logistics and facilities support to more than 42,000 U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers across a region spanning the 13 northeastern states. He served as the senior commander of Army Support Activity-Fort Dix and U.S. Army Base Fort Devens Training Facilities and Training Support in Massachusetts. He said when taking command 2018 that “as our nation faces increasingly more lethal adversaries on the battlefield, readiness of our personnel and our organizations becomes critical.” Palzer is a distinguished military graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York. He held many key positions and nearly a dozen commands throughout his 39-year Army career which include commanding the 79th Theater Sustainment Command and serving as the deputy director for Logistics Operations in the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C. Palzer deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2007-2008 and Operation Enduring Freedom from October 2012-2013. “The most significant accomplishment I’ll ever have is to enable and support others continuing to grow and make the Army better,” Palzer said. Lieutenant General Jody Daniels, chief of Army Reserve and commanding general, U.S. Army Reserve Command said Palzer “cares deeply about the force, and has taken the added role of coach and mentor to any soldier of any rank who seeks guidance and counsel. I wish I could keep him for another 40 years.” Major General Rodney Faulk of Michigan took command of the division from Palzer during a ceremony held in the hot sun on June 30. Faulk comes to the 99th RD from his most recent assignment as deputy commanding general-support for First Army at Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois. He served as the deputy inspector general for Joint Task Force Guantanamo in Cuba, and deployed twice in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. “Readiness – it’s in our name,” Faulk said. He was commissioned through the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps in 1986. “Together, let’s seek to build readiness for the fight that we hope never comes. “Get ready for the most challenging and rewarding experience of your life,” Daniels said to Faulk during the ceremony. “Best wishes as you lead the 99th RD.” The 99th DIV(R) has more than 40,000 active-duty and reserve-component service members, civilian employees and family members who work and reside on the base.

Ocean County Man Indicted For Murder
By Alyssa Riccardi LAKWOOD – A Lakewood man has been indicted for murder after stabbing someone, resulting in their death. On August 31, 2020, the Lakewood Township Police Department responded to a business on 2nd Ave in Lakewood after multiple 911 calls were made regarding a stabbing. Once police arrived, they found Rodrigo Jimenez-Paz, age 29, with a stab wound to his chest. Jimenez-Paz was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center where lifesaving efforts were made, but were unsuccessful. As a result, Jimenez-Paz was pronounced dead. Investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit and Lakewood Police Department identified Jorge Santiago-Garcia, 32, of Lakewood, as the person who stabbed Jimenez-Paz. He was arrested and has been lodged in the Ocean County Jail since his arrest.
On July 8, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced that Santiago-Garcia was indicted for Murder, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon. Prosecutor Billhimer would like to acknowledge the diligent efforts of Assistant Prosecutor Kaitlyn Burke who is handling the case on behalf of the State and also the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, Lakewood Township Police Department, Lakewood Township Police Department Detective Bureau, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit for their outstanding and collaborative efforts in this investigation which lead to Santiago-Garcia’s indictment.

The Link Between Age-Related Hearing Loss & Cognition
An estimated 48 million Americans have some form of hearing loss according to a John’s Hopkins Study. If left untreated, this common, chronic health challenge can heavily impact physical, mental, social and even financial health. Though most instances of hearing loss are treatable, the NIDCD reports that fewer than 30% of adults ages 70 and older who could be helped with hearing aids use them. Usage drops even lower – to an estimated 16% - among Americans ages 20-69. In a fairly recent longitudinal study of 7385 adults 50 years of older in a community setting in the United Kingdom, the following conclusions were made: Hear ing loss was associated with cognitive impairment, with the association being stronger in moderate to severe hearing loss compared to mild hearing loss.
The respondents who used hearing aids showed no evidence of an association between hearing loss and cognition. An indirect association was found between hearing loss and social isolation only in those who did not use hearing aids. The main recommendation is that folks older than 50 years of age should have a complete hearing test to establish a baseline either by primary care physicians, audiologists and/or ENTs. Since a large percentage of PCPs failed to accurately screen for hearing loss, Dr. Izzy strongly recommends having a baseline audiological evaluation performed by a board-certified audiologist. Dr. Izzy has been providing hearing care services for over 30 years and has offices in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting. He can be reached at 732-8183610 or ikirsh@gardenstatehearing.com.

Natural Treatment Options For Occasional Anxiety
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
It’s summer and people that I know are still battling some type of anxiety, whether it’s from travel stress, flying, the idea of the delta strain, or something stressful going on with your family. Whatever it is, there are some natural ways to conquer anxiety and boost mood. First off, do not feel alone, millions of people are anxious over something. I’ll tell you one of my issues, it’s driving on big highways with other cars, and I assume that when they fly past me, they are texting. In fact, I assume pretty much everyone is distracted except for me and so I usually GPS the slower roads! I have been this way for years, and there’s no amount of lavender that helps me! But for other anxieties, there is help and today’s article will lend insight into some natural remedies. Here are some symptoms of anxiety, which you may relate to, depending on the day, and the severity of your condition: Sweaty palms, rapid heartbeat, a feeling of impending doom, trembling or shaking, dry mouth, GI symptoms, and inability to think of anything else other than the perceived danger at hand. Some people also experience insomnia. Furthermore, hypertension, gastric ulcers and depression are also associated with prolonged anxiety. Finding the root cause, or the root person that causes your anxiety is key to getting well. For some simple anxiety-producing situations, you can look into the following nutrients, but if your conditions is serious, you must see a qualified specialist.
Vitamin B1: Thiamine or B1 helps you produce and release serotonin and norepinephrine which reduce mental fatigue and improve physical energy. If you like to drink wine, you are sure to be deficient in this nutrient. Vitamin B2: Riboflavin or B2 helps your adrenal glands which secrete DHEA and cortisol, and these hormones must remain in proper homeostasis in order for you to cope. Probiotics: The friendly gut bugs help you activate thyroid hormone, which has been proven in some studies to work even better than traditional antidepressants in some people! We know that a reduction in probiotics can indirectly cause profound anxiety and depression. Zinc: This mineral has a very calming effect on the body, perhaps it helps with the COMT gene that some people have and it is relaxing to most people. Exercise: Few things work better than a run, or a trip to the gym. Physical activity is known to raise dopamine immediately. Herbs: There are many herbs that can help you if you like herbal teas, or herbal supplements. Among the best are chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, ashwagandha, catnip and valerian. Conventional medical wisdom has programmed us to believe that sedatives, and addictive medications are the answer to anxiety, but that’s not necessary for everyone.

BEACHWOOD - The Beachwood Fire Department regrets to announce the passing of Auxiliary Member Lynn (Smith) Panzca who lost her courageous battle against cancer. “Lynn was a big part of our firehouse family, first being around the station as a child when her father, Exempt Member
Thomas Smith, served our department,” officials stated on Facebook. “Her favorite truck was our 1937 Diamond T “Smoke-Eater”. She then joined our Auxilliary unit and would go on to proudly serve while her son Greg was a firefighter in our department. Lynn will be missed by all that knew her.”

─Photo courtesy Beachwood Fire Dept. BEACHWOOD - It is with the deepest of sadness that the Beachwood Fire Department announces the passing of Life Member Andrew F. Alonzo who passed away peacefully at home at 99 years old. “Andy, or ‘Uncle Andy’ for those close to him, joined the Beachwood Fire Department in May of 1954 after briefly serving with the Ocean Gate Fire Company. Andy served as a line officer working his way up to the rank of Captain in the late 50s,” the fire department reported. “The Fire Department was truly a family affair for the Alonzos and Andy proudly served alongside of his brothers Harry and Norman, both
firefighters in our department, and also his wife Marie Alonzo who was a life member of our Ladies Auxiliary Unit.” Harry passed away last year at the age of 88. “Andy was a life member of the New Jersey State Firemen’s Association and a long-time officer of the Beachwood Firemen’s Relief Association. A true brother to all his fellow firefighters, Andy’s smile and friendship will truly be missed. We ask all to keep the Alonzo family and friends in your thoughts during this time,” the department said. “Rest easy brother, we’ll take it from here.”

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Around The Jersey Shore
Inside The Law Trusts For Minor Children
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Where parents have minor children, they often want to establish trusts in their Wills for the benefit of the minor children in the event that both parents should pass away. In such a case, the money is held in the trust for the benefit of the children. A person called the “trustee” is appointed by the Will to manage the trust on behalf of the children. Most trusts for the benefit of minor children allow the money to be used for their health, education, maintenance and support. The term “education” usually also refers to college education. There are several ways to go about doing this. The most common ways are the (1) common trust or (2) the separate trust. In the common trust, all of the money is held until the youngest child reaches an age specified in the Will. Upon the youngest child reaching the specified age, the monies remaining in the trust are then distributed to all of the children. In a separate trust, the assets are divided among the children and a separate trust is created for each child and each child receives their trust when the each reach the specified age. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? The advantage of the common trust is that the money is held until the youngest child reaches the specified age. In this way, the trustee can use the money in the trust and if necessary spend more of the money in the trust on one child as
opposed to the others. As a parent, most people would be willing to spend everything they had on one child at the expense of the other children if that child required greater care than the other children. By using a common trust you give the trustee the flexibility to do this The drawback to the common trust is that the older children will have to wait a longer period of time to receive their share of the inheritance depending upon the age of the youngest child. This could be a disadvantage if there is a significant age difference between the youngest and oldest child. The advantage of the separate trust is that each child will receive their share of the estate when they reach the specified age. This means that the older children do not have to wait for their inheritance until the youngest child reaches the specified age The drawback to the separate trust is the trustee can only use the money in that individual child’s trust for the care of that child. If one child requires significantly more care than the other children, the trustee is limited to the amount of money in that child’s trust and cannot use the money in the other trusts. Which trust is better for you for your is something to be discussed with your estate planning attorney when making up your Will.

OCC Athletics To Launch Men’s Volleyball Program
TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County College Athletics Department has been awarded a grant from the NJCAA Foundation and First Point Volleyball Foundation to launch a men’s volleyball program. The grant will support the addition of men’s volleyball to the Vikings’ sports programs, beginning in the spring of 2023. “We’re very excited to offer OCC student-athletes the opportunity to compete in men’s volleyball at the collegiate level,” said Ilene Cohen, OCC’s executive director of Athletics. “To that end, we’re extremely grateful for the $10,000 grant from the NJCAA Foundation and First Point Volleyball Foundation that will help us to launch this program as we continue to grow the sport in this state.” In May, the NJCAA, in collaboration with First Point Volleyball Foundation, announced a $200,000 grant to support the growth of men’s volleyball as an emerging sport within the Association. The NJCAA Foundation awarded grants to 15 member colleges, including OCC, to support men’s volleyball becoming a full NJCAA championship sport. “As one of 19 First Point Foundation board members, I can say we are so proud to be able to support the NJCAA and these 15 institutions starting men’s volleyball,” said Mick Haley, First Point Volleyball Foundation volunteer board member and AVCA Hall of Famer. A former men’s volleyball coach at Kellogg Community College (MI), Haley led the program to four NJCAA national championships (back when the sport was sponsored) before stints as head women’s coach at the University of Texas, University of Southern California, and the 2000 US Women’s Olympic Team in Sydney. “Two-year colleges present the most affordable opportunity for young people to play college volleyball during a time when students
─Photo courtesy Ocean County College want to stay closer to home,” Haley continued. “Our hope at First Point is to see 35 or 40 more two-year colleges follow these 15 and sponsor men’s volleyball.” With 12 high schools in Ocean County offering boys’ volleyball teams, the addition of this program at OCC will provide the opportunity for those athletes to continue to compete and will encourage those who have held an interest in the sport to consider attending Ocean County College. “The ability to create more opportunities for student-athletes to compete in college and take part in a growing sport is one of the ultimate wins the NJCAA Foundation can achieve,” said Brian Luckett, executive director of the NJCAA Foundation. “We are appreciative of First Point Volleyball Foundation for making this possible and the NJCAA member colleges who have stepped up to make history by bringing back men’s volleyball to the association.” First Point Volleyball Foundation is taking men’s volleyball participation to unprecedented heights, creating opportunities for young men to develop as players and as individuals. “As we work to prepare for the Tokyo Olympic Games, all of us at USA Volleyball are excited by this awesome news of 15 newly announced men’s collegiate volleyball programs at twoyear colleges,” said John Speraw, founder and volunteer chairman of the First Point Volleyball Foundation, and head coach of the US Men’s National Team and UCLA Men’s Volleyball. “I suspect it won’t be long before an NJCAA athlete will play for Team USA,” Speraw added. “I want to personally thank all the donors to First Point Volleyball Foundation, past and future, for making these grants possible.” For more information regarding Ocean County College’s athletics programs, visit OCCVikings.com.

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A community is mourning the loss of Richard Foster II, who served as a fire police officer and EMT. Foster, 75, was an EMT with the Bayville First Aid Squad. “He loved to help his community. He was part of the Berkeley Girls Softball League
EMT Remembered By Community for about 20 years,” according to his obituary. He was a Vietnam veteran who earned a Bronze Star three times. He achieved the rank of major in the Army. The Bayville Fire Department posted on social media that he also served with the Ocean Gate Fire Department as a
Fire Police Officer and Ocean Gate EMS as an EMT. “He fought a good battle but unfortunately his work on Earth has come to an end and he is now with the higher power who has seen fit to call him home to rest from his labors. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family
and friends during this difficult time. Rest In Peace Rich, we have it from here,” they said. Loved ones posted memories of good times with him either with one of the squads or when he was a coach. He and his wife, Lorraine Foster, have five children and five grandchildren.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jul 17 - jul 23 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are likely happiest with a congenial companion by your side whether you are working, running errands or spending time on a hobby. Get plenty of fresh air, exercise and sunshine next week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on keeping an open and alert mind during the upcoming week. Someone might harbor a personal agenda that’s obscured from your view. Find out who profits the most from impending changes. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Listen carefully to the people who encourage you to do your best this week. It may be difficult to find time to spend with someone you want to know better when too many others compete for your attention. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Turn away from worries and turn back the hands of time. As the week unfolds, evolving situations could give you a chance to feel like a kid again or remind you of the enthusiasms of your younger days. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may realize that you must commit yourself heart and soul to a cause, your business or a person. You will probably receive plenty of public attention for your loyalty and persistence in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep empathy in your mind, as it can improve a relationship. Exerting a bit of extra effort during the upcoming week should keep your reputation shiny, and people will likely hold you in high regard.

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin, including the top, with vegetable oil spray. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking
powder, baking soda and salt. 3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, oil and 1 cup sugar until combined. Add buttermilk and vanilla to the sugar mixture and whisk until well combined. 4.
