Group Wants To Protect Swans From Humans
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - A male swan that was deemed aggressive by NJ Fish & Wildlife and was slated for euthanasia has received national news coverage after dozens of Seawood Harbor residents tried to save the bird. They said it was jet skiers who were being aggressive
Parts Of Berkeley Under Boil Water Advisory
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Homes and businesses serviced by the Berkeley Township MUA are being urged to boil their water after e. coli bacteria was found. A sample was taken on July 14 which tested positive for e. coli, officials said. On July 16, three samples were taken. Two tested negative for total coliform and e. coli and one tested positive for total coliform and negative for e. coli. E. Coli can cause stomach issues and diarrhea, according to the Mayo Clinic. The very young, the very old, or those with weakened immune systems may have much worse symptoms. It enters water systems through groundwater contaminated by human or animal waste.

and the swan was only protecting his family of six cygnets (see The Brick Times July 17, 2021). In an unexpected turn of events, the swan became entangled in fishing line and was rescued by John Bergmann, who is the director of the animal sanct uar y, Popcor n Park Zoo in Forked
River. “Alfie,” as the residents of Seawood Harbor have named the swan, is recovering from his injuries in an enclosed area of the sanctuary, where he will have to live for the rest of his life, Bergmann said in a recent phone interview. “At least he won’t be euthanized,” he said. “I
would love to reunite him with his family where he belongs, but because of how things were handled with the jet skis and everything, NJ Fish & Wildlife won’t allow them to be reunited.” Once Alfie recovers, he would have his flight feathers clipped and would be moved to an area where he
could swim - but not fly - within the sanctuary, Bergmann said. Chasing jet skiers and getting aggressive when people get too close is the swan’s defense mechanism, he said. “He’s just trying to protect his family. We need to educate people how to act around (Swans - See Page 9)

Halloween Parade Returning In 2021
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Bring out your dead, put your fangs in, and get ready to howl at the moon – the Halloween Parade is back on the calendar. Throughout 2020, a lot of our iconic gatherings suffered - the fireworks on the Toms River, the Ocean County Fair, concerts held by towns, and the Halloween Parade. All of them were cancelled because of the coronavirus, hurting morale when people needed it the most. This year, several of them have made a comeback, often with some changes due to the pandemic. The parade is annually run by Toms River Fire Co. No. 1. Lt. Carl Weingroff told (Parade - See Page 6)

Continued From Page 1 and update the space enough to regularly host and tour visitors through what the Moreys envision as a multi-level museum equipped with more interactive features, such as a library and archival research center, they are counting on more local donors and volunteers to become involved in the process, which was hindered by complications related to the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s gonna take all of us,” Josie Morey, Interim Membership Chair at the Berkeley Township Historical Society (BTHS) said. The Township “has been a great help,” according to Gerry Morey, the President of the BTHS, in the updating of the museum by replacing its doors, providing a computer, updating the electric and plumbing systems and more. However, the Moreys are hoping for more local donors and volunteers to aid in supporting further projects or become a member. The BTHS look for local support when tackling issues like sunlight. Sunlight passes through the building’s windows and fades the museum’s photo displays over time, rendering the photos unviewable. Gerry Morey identified the museum’s need for room-darkening blinds to help preserve the photos. The BTHS also seeks cans of f lat finish white paint, five large air conditioning units and f looring for the library and conference room for the archival research center.
In return for donations and volunteer service, the BTHS can insert name plates around the building to memorialize the residents who helped renovate the building. Donors and volunteers can “be able to say [they] did something to keep history alive,” according to Gerry Morey. “We want the whole community to see the historical society as the center for community events,” Josie Morey said. Organizing, updating and renovating the museum is vital to the various events and plans the Moreys hope to carry out in order to establish the museum as a hub for local activity. Josie Morey hopes to launch the Young Historian Club to train the next generation to lead the BTHS “so that history will live forever.” The BTHS also looks to implement Museum Mondays, when they will request volunteers to clean and organize artifacts to be displayed and enjoy lunch; Technology Tuesday, when volunteers will scan and photograph ar tifacts and maps; and Work Night Wednesday, when volunteers will carry out weekly projects and enjoy dinner and soft drinks. “History has to live on,” Gerry Morey said. The Moreys hope to soon install a modern security system and acquire an air conditioning system after the electric system is completely updated. Following the completion of those two projects, the BTHS and volunteers can begin archiving artifacts for the research center.
Once all of the updates and renovations are complete, the Moreys hope to hold a grand re-opening. Josie Morey is working on increasing the BTHS’s membership. Membership has recently increased to nearly 300 members. It costs $10 per year for individuals to become a member and $15 per year for families to become members.
The BTHS meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. in the basement of the Berkeley Township Town Hall at 630 Route 9. To learn more about becoming a member, contact Josie Morey at josiemorey@ comcast.net. If you have any questions or would like to donate an artifact, contact Gerry Morey at gmorey5302@comcast.net.
The Berkeley Township Historical Society Museum that sits on Route 9 was once Town Hall and Police Headquarters before it was the museum.

Water:
Continued From Page 1 The message from the Berkeley MUA noted that this kind of contamination can occur after heavy rains like we’ve had recently, because the water run-off enters the drinking water source. Breaks in the distribution system or failures in the treatment process are possible causes, and officials are investigating to see if that was the case here. What Do I Do? All drinking water must be boiled for at least one minute, and people should let it cool before using it. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, preparing food and for pets until further notice. You may notice minor symptoms such as cramps, nausea, headaches, and diarrhea. If you have severe symptoms, such as diarrhea with blood, seek medical attention. What Is Being Done? The BTMUA will be conducting a
The Berkeley Times, July 24, 2021, Page 5 comprehensive assessment of the water system, as well as the monitoring and operational practices to identify and correct the cause of the contamination. The BTMUA will let residents know when testing shows no more bacteria, meaning that it will then be safe to stop boiling water. They anticipate that it will be resolved within 30 days. The Berkeley Township Municipal Utilities Authority is giving out gallons of water to residents under the boil water advisory. As of press time, water was being given out at the H&M Potter School on Veeder Lane. Identification is required. For more information, customers are asked to call Brian Blair at 732-237-0100. The Environmental Protection Agency has a safe drinking water hotline at 800426-4791. The BTMUA noted a few times that the drinking water advisory is not related to COVID-19. According to the World Health Organization, the virus has not been detected in drinking water supplies and the risk to transmission by drinking water is low.

Parade:
Continued From Page 1 JerseyShoreOnline that plans are being made for the big return. The parade will be held on Saturday, October 30. The schedule follows the tradition that if Halloween falls on a Sunday, like it does this year, the parade will be on Saturday, with a rain date on Monday. Registration will be on the day of the parade, he said. Participants will be following guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to slow the spread of coronavirus. The theme of the parade will be the celebration of Fire Company No. 1’s 125th anniversary. The company was officially incorporated in 1896, although they had been operating for a few years prior to that. They’ve been working out of the firehouse on Robbins Street since 1913. Earlier this year, there was another
parade marking the 125th. This one was a smaller event which ended in a street festival with live music. The Halloween parade is billed as the second largest in the world, and can have upwards of 6,000 viewers. The Downtown area is shut down and people compete for seats. COVID-19 caused the f ire company to cancel last year’s parade. They put out notice at around this time in 2020. Wit h t h a t m a ny p e o ple s w a r m i n g dow ntow n, social distancing would h a ve b e e n i m p o s s i bl e . T h i s ye a r, thanks to people getting vaccinated, more events like this one are being held. There have only been three times in the history of the f ire department that the parade had been cancelled. The f irst time was in the 1920s during the Great Depression. The second time was due to Superstor m Sandy. T he third was for the coronavir us.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
WASHI NGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.) reintroduced the bipartisan Seniors Prescription Drug Relief Act to strengthen Medicare Part D and make it easier for seniors to afford their medication. “ O u r bip a r t i s a n bi l l would put patients and consumers first by providing seniors with real f i n a n cia l r el ief at t he pharmacy counter to ensure that those who rely on expensive medications aren’t saddled with insurmountable prescr iption drug bills at the start of eve r y yea r,” said Se n. Menendez. “Setting a cap on out-of-pocket expenses al lows se n ior s t o pro rate their share over the
Menendez: Legislation Will Cap Medication Bills For “Catastrophic Coverage”
year into set monthly payments, giving them more f lexibility to cover their health care expenses. Policies like this, that deliver savings to the consumers, must be central to our continued work on making drugs more affordable for the American people.” “If someone on Medicare cannot afford their medication, they are going to get sicker or not get better. This bill takes on the root causes of high drug prices because we want to make it easier for seniors to pay for their prescriptions,” said Sen. Cassidy. For seniors, the bill establishes a new out-of-pocket cap on catastrophic coverage, so that beneficiaries would have no costs after reaching $3,100 in
out-of-pocket spending. Seniors who reach that limit early in the calend a r ye a r c ou ld s p r e a d their payments over the course of the year, to help those on f ixed incomes or who would otherwise struggle to pay their entire obligation in a lump sum. The bill would also reduce coinsurance from 25 to 20 percent in the initial coverage period, after patients meet their deductible but before they reach the catastrophic cap. The Seniors Prescription Dr ug Relief Act would also redesign Medicare Part D’s benefit structure to realign these f lawed incentives and lower the cost of prescription drugs. Medicare Part D spending is growing substantially,
especially in the benefit’s catastrophic phase, which begins once beneficiaries have spent more than $6,550 out-of-pocket. The legislation would also encourage plans to better negotiate for lower d r ug pr ices a nd bet ter formulary placement, and ensu re that when d r ug prices rise, so does the d r ug-maker’s f inancial responsibility. Organization supporting the legislation include the Alliance for Aging Research and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “Senators Cassidy and Me ne ndez c ont i nue t o provide critical leadership to ensure Medicare patients can afford and access needed care. The Alliance for Aging Re-
search thanks the Senators for their efforts to advance patient affordabilit y in Medicare Part D through this bill,” said Alliance for Aging Research Vice President of Public Policy Michael Ward. “The Seniors Prescription Drug Relief Act includes landmark reforms that would dramatically lower prescription drug costs Medicare patients experience far too often,” s a id T he L e u ke m ia & Lymphoma Society Chief Medical Officer Dr. Gwen Nichols, M.D. “These reforms would limit upfront costs for patients who rely on c ost ly pr e sc r ipt ion drugs and cap the amount en rollees pay over t he course of the year - two changes that will give a
much -ne e de d bre a k t o American seniors. Today, blood cancer patients on Medicare Par t D of ten pay more than $3,000 for their first prescription of the year, with annual outof-pocket costs sometimes higher than $15,000 for a single cancer therapy. Under the Seniors Prescription Drug Relief Act, these same patients would see their Part D costs reduced to less than $260 per month. On behalf of the 1.3 million Americans living with a blood cancer diagnosis, The Leukemia & Ly m p h o m a S o c ie t y applauds Senators Bill Cassidy and Bob Menendez for their leadership on this critical issue, and we urge Congress to pass these solutions this year.”
Murphy: State’s Credit Outlook Upgraded From Stable To Positive TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy and State Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio applauded the decision by Moody’s Investors Service to upgrade the outlook for New Jersey’s general obligation bonds from stable to positive. In a statement, Moody’s noted, “The state has responded to a brightening revenue and liquidity picture with several actions reflecting a recent commitment to addressing more aggressively its liability burdens, demonstrating improved fiscal governance
and management. These actions include debt reduction and avoidance and acceleration of pension contributions.” “For the past four years we have approached the fiscal challenges we inherited, not as obstacles, but as opportunities to right our fiscal ship,” said Governor Murphy. “On the heels of a record 11 credit downgrades under the prior administration and in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic, we’ve delivered historic levels of pension funding – including the
first full contribution in a quarter of a century – set aside money to pay off a sizable portion of state debt and avoid future issuances, secured long-term savings for the State and its taxpayers, bolstered our surplus, and positioned ourselves well to tackle the remaining challenges that lie ahead. The fact that we’ve been able to accomplish all of this while creating a more fair and equitable playing field for the working families of this state is a testament to our values. I want to thank the Treasurer and her team

for their steady leadership, particularly during the economic upheaval we faced over the last two years.” “Under the Governor’s leadership, we have made steady progress towards improving the state’s longterm fiscal health by making record pension payments, reining in soaring health care costs, controlling debt, pursuing reliable and recurring revenue sources, and addressing the structural imbalance we inherited,” said Treasurer Muoio. “This year’s $6.9 billion pension contribution and the over
$4 billion we are putting towards repaying old debt and avoiding new, will improve the overall solvency of our pension fund and produce several billion dollars in long-term savings – moves that will pay dividends for years to come. Today’s action by Moody’s acknowledges that these decisions, cumulatively speaking, were both prudent and purposeful.” In addition to the general obligation bonds, Moody’s also upgraded the outlook to positive for a host of other debt issued by the state,
including appropriation backed debt; bonds issued by the Garden State Preservation Trust, NJ; moral obligation debt issued by the South Jersey Port Corporation; the New Jersey County College Enhancement Bond Program Chapter 12; New Jersey Municipal Qualified Bond Program and New Jersey Qualified School Bond Program intercept programs; and the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority’s (NJ TTFA) Federal Highway Reimbursement Revenue Notes (GARVEEs).

Asked if the swan family could be reunited at the animal sanctuary, Bergmann said he’s waiting for the dust to settle, but NJ Fish & Wildlife would not allow it. Meanwhile, the outrage over Alfie’s fate continues to grow among the residents, who have started a Facebook page that has about 350 members. “We have over 100 people who say they’ll show up if we need them, and who are on our email list,” said Seawood Harbor resident Irene Almeida, who said there is a core group of six people who are working to get “Alfie’s Law” legislation passed. Wildlife Policy Director of the Animal Protection League Susan Russell said there are several parties who are draft-

The Seawood Harbor residents reached out to Brick Mayor John G. Ducey to ask for the township’s help in placing signage near natural areas to protect the swans. The mayor said it is already on the township’s Land Use Committee agenda for their next meeting. “We are looking at signage concerning staying away from swans,” he said. “The

at all.” The female swan and the six cygnets still live in Seawood Harbor, but they don’t come out into the open as they did when the family was intact, Almeida said. “They’re doing well, but they tend to stay in the wetlands at this point, so we don’t see them as often,” she said.

Hackensack Meridian Workers Required To Get COVID Vaccine
By Alyssa Riccardi BR ICK – Effective October 1, all Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH) employees are required to receive the COVID-19 vaccine or they will face ter m i nat ion , a ccord i ng to a recent corporate email. “HMH is committed to a culture of safet y. Over the past year, we have
used every tool at our disposal to protect patients and team members from COVID-19. Since December this has included a massive vaccination effort that we have helped lead across our network and the entire state of New Jersey,” CEO Bob Garrett wrote in the email. “Effective October 1, HMH will require all team members, physicians,
volunteers, vendors and consultants to be vaccinated against COVID-19 – receiving at least one dose of either Pfizer, Moderna, or J&J and the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna by November 15.” T he email f u r ther st ates how the decision wa s not ma de lig htly a nd m i r rors si m ila r policies al ready i n

place for inf luenza and other mandatory vaccines. In addition, the email listed numerous reasons as to why the decision was made, such as: patients and the community are requesting to be treated by caregivers and providers who are vaccinated; and different variants are proving to be more contagious and dangerous than the original strain, with unvaccinated patients and team members being the overwhelming majority of people contracting COVID-19. “COVID-19 vaccines are proven to be safe and highly effective at preventing transmission, hospitalizations and death f rom the vir us. Over the past year, we have used every tool at our disposal to protect patients and team members from COVID-19,” Dr. Daniel Varga, Chief Physician Executive, Hackensack Meridian Health, said. “More than 70 percent of ou r team members are vaccinated. We are requir ing vaccinations for all team members to help stop the spread of this deadly vir us and keep our patients, team members and visitors safe. Mandatory vaccinations are the best way to achieve herd immunity and protect our communities from the deadly variants that are threatening to wreak havoc in the months ahead. They’re our best shot at defeating this pandemic once and for all, saving lives and returning to normal.” Employees who w ish to st ay u nvaccinated will face suspension, and continued non-compliance will result in termination. Anne Green, a spokesperson for Ocean Medical Center told JerseyShoreOnline.com “limited exemptions may be granted to the extent required by law for those with a qualifying medical condition or religious/ strongly held belief.” Many organizations have recently come out to support mandatory vacci n at ion for he alt h ca re p e r son nel including the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America and the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

BEACHWOOD – Many emergency situations occur in which police are the first to arrive on a scene or where police are the only entity on a scene because it is deemed “not safe” for EMS to enter. In many of these cases, medical treatment is needed but EMS has not arrived yet or is unable to do so. W hen situations like this occur, t he Bea chwood Pol ice De pa r t me nt has the benefit of having two officers medically trained as EMTs to provide medical treatment for patients until EMS a r r ive s.

Future Uncertain For Ice Rink In Brick
By Chris Lundy BRICK – Will the Ocean Ice Palace close its doors for good, or is it just the owners who are retiring? On July 6, the owners posted on social media “Ocean Ice Palace & Ocean Hockey Supply will be closing their doors at the end of this month. We are extremely thankful to all the friends who have become family and customers who have become friends over the years. The decision was not made lightly and certainly not without being given much thought.” They said the pro shop would be open through the end of the month. The Patch might have been the first to report on its closure, and 101.5 had a segment about it. Everyone shared their memories of this iconic location. However, a week later, The Patch reported that a confidential source close to the situation revealed that there is a possible purchase in the works. The source said that the facility will continue to be used as an ice rink. The above post was removed from social media. Staff at the rink did not respond to a request for comment. The rink, located on Chambersbridge Road, dates back to 1962. It was started by Dr. Leon J. Dwulet. His daughter, Joan Dwulet, currently owns it, and it’s managed by Raven (Joan’s daughter) and Andrew Barten. The rink drew thousands of young people who learned how to skate there and also held pee wee hockey tournaments. Many high school and club championships were won there as well. The Ice Palace was home to many of Brick’s youth and high school hockey teams for most of its history and has seen a number of its players go on to the college ranks and some go to the pros. The website said it hosts New Jersey Guardians, Manalapan Cannons, Brick Stars Challenger Hockey & War
at the Shore Hockey Tournament. It also cites tournaments, clinics and camps throughout the year run by Ocean Hockey Academy. This isn’t the first time the ice rink’s future was unknown. Even going back to 2007, it was in the public eye as possibly being bought by the township of Brick to be converted into a community center. Former Councilman Stephen Acropolis, who comes from a huge hockey family, campaigned on it when he won the vote for mayor. The town was looking to purchase it for $5.2 million. They had plans to put in therapy pools and sell the naming rights of the building. There was talk of moving township offices in Civic Plaza to there and then selling the Plaza. They were hoping to make money off of it in the long run. Opponents of the purchase had concerns that the aging buildings would cost too much to maintain or fix, and that building additions to the property to house various interests in Brick would cost untold millions. Du r ing the negotiation, the owner showed how much money is brought in, but the costs of upkeep and running the facility was kept from the town. The purchase would have been between a private entity, the ice rink, and a public one, the township. This made the whole matter a lot more public than the sellers would have liked. After a long time of waiting, the Dwulet family pulled out of negotiations and put it on the market but it never sold. Ultimately, it reminded residents of the Foodtown purchase. The Foodtown on Route 70 was bought in 2003 for $6.1 million and was at one time going to be a community center. It has sat there, without any money coming in on the tax rolls, until just recently when the property was split and sold.

Potential Brain-Changing Benefits Of Hearing Aids
A fairly recent report published in Frontiers in Neuroscience (Feb. 2020) adds to a growing body of research connecting the use of hearing technology to benefits that go beyond the ability to hear. It further bolsters the importance of early hearing loss treatment for overall patient health. Studies have long linked hearing loss and other conditions such as cognitive decline in older adults, with data showing evidence of… • Accelerated brain shrinkage • Five-fold risk of dementia • Earlier onset of decline A University of Maryland study published in 2018 found that hearing aids not only improve auditory ability in seniors but also may restore cognitive and neural function. In the present study, researchers sought to better un-
derstand the source of neurocognitive deficits in presbycusis and the potential modifying effects of hearing technology. Twenty-eight adults with untreated mild to moderate hearing loss were fit with hearing aids and monitored for six months. The results from the experiment group after wearing hearing aids for six months confirmed gains in speech perception and cognitive performance. The outcomes of this study provide evidence that clinical intervention with well-fit digital hearing aids may promote more typical cortical organization and functioning and provide cognitive benefit.

Clearing Confusion About The Types Of Collagen By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
We as humans make our own collagen naturally by utilizing amino acids. Those amino acids (aka peptides) are the smaller particles that come from protein we eat. We then string together all kinds of proteins that we need for our bodies. One of these proteins is collagen and we make it from glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and alanine. Topical collagen peptides, like those sold in face creams, wound healing ointments and facial serums have a lot of clinical research to support their use in the dermal layer. Orally bioavailable collagen is not sold as a dietary supplement, although many people think it is. In other words, if you’re buying a “collagen supplement,” what you’re really taking are the 4 peptides that your body uses to string collagen together. Collagen itself will not survive through the stomach acid after you take it, so therefore it is not sold as a dietary supplement. You can boost collagen production in the body by taking dietary supplements of collagen peptides, as well as vitamin C which is required as a cofactor to drive the reaction. There are patented, proprietary forms of collagen peptides that are clinically studied for benefits in the skin, and those can (and should) be taken orally. So become well informed when supplementing with collagen. They are not all created equal. Some types of collagen are derived from cow hide, and some from fish scales and there are other sources too. Some types of collagen work
for joints, some work for wrinkles. If you have brittle nails, thinning hair, fine lines, a loss of muscle mass, joint, tendon or ligament problems or even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it’s likely that you’re low in collagen, and probably several different types of collagen, but it’s hard to say. It’s not a given. Those issues could also be caused by a food allergens, various diseases, a deficiency in B vitamins or thyroid hormone, estrogen, testosterone or DHEA. Most women who take collagen are taking it for its beauty aspects. Keep in mind that there are only a few specific types of very tiny peptides that are recognized by your fibroblast cells in the dermal layer of your skin. If, and only if recognized, are your cells capable of being provoked to increase their own collagen metabolism. Of the 5 types of collagen, only Type I and III are useful in terms of beautifying your skin, hair and nails. Type II is for tendons, joints and ligaments. Making sufficient amounts of collagen (or being young!) will significantly increase your skin’s moisture, resulting in noticeably firmer and smoother skin. In addition, the oral intake of collagen peptides supports healthy joints, flexibility, and cartilage. I take my own collagen peptides and suggest that you research the vast array of products on the market today to make sure it has the type you desire.

Units from the South Toms River Emergency Medical Services, Manitou Park Vol. Fire Company, South Toms River Police Department, Berkeley Twp. Hazmat and multiple tow companies responded to 1 South Main Street regarding a car underwater. Prior to EMS arriving, the occupant was able to exit the car. Both the Manitou Park Vol. Fire Co.

South Toms River Police Chief William Kosch told Jersey Shore Online that the incident was accidental, as the driver mistakenly touched the accelerator instead of the brake while parking. The vehicle was fully submerged and the driver was the only occupant. Only minor injuries were reported After the car was removed, Hazmat assessed the area and had no signs of hazardous substances in the water.

Around The Jersey Shore State Launches New App To Secure Vaccination Records
By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – The State is launching a new app. The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) recently announced the launch of a new mobile app, “Docket,” which residents can download free from the Google Play/Android and Apple app stores. The free app will provide residents that received their COVID-19 vaccination in the state of New Jersey an easy and convenient way to connect with their COVID-19 immunization records. Gerry P. Little, a member of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners said, “we are certainly pleased to see that there is an easy solution for residents to access their records if they have lost their vaccination card.” Commissioner Little is the liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “The Docket app is a great resource for people to have on their smartphone or mobile device to help them quickly and effortlessly access their COVID-19 immunization record within a matter of minutes,” he added. The Docket app, approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), connects people directly to the New Jersey Immunization Information System (NJIIS). NJIIS securely captures an individual’s name, phone number, and demographic details at the time of immunization. This data will allow individuals who were vaccinated in the state of New Jersey to access their COVID-19 vaccina-

CATARACT COUCHING
Cataract surgery involves removing the eye’s clouded lens and replacing it with a clear synthetic version. Although it is one of the most common and successful procedures available today, it took centuries of progress to arrive at this point. “Couching,” the oldest traditional technique documented to treat cataracts, was first practiced in the 6th century B.C. by the Hindu surgeon Sushruta. The technique, which was later adopted from India by the Greeks and Romans, involved inserting a needle into the eye in an attempt to dislocate the lens. The goal was simply to push the lens out of the central axis so that it would no longer interfere with vision. In 1967, the introduction of “phacoemulsification” changed cataract surgery forever. Cataract surgery is usually performed by an ophthalmologist on an outpatient basis, which means you don’t have to stay in the hospital after the surgery. Cataract surgery can be done traditionally using ultrasound energy to remove the cloudy lens or it can be removed with laser-assisted technology. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622. One of the reasons so many people trust us with their eye care needs is that we make a concerted effort to provide our patients with convenient options. We offer evening hours most nights of the week.

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.

Around The Jersey Shore Rabid Raccoons Discovered In Point Pleasant By Bob Vosseller POINT PLEASANT – The borough’s animal control officer reported a possible rabies epidemic with the discovery of rabid raccoons in the borough. Animal Control Officer Muskrat Jack Animal Services, noted a possible rabies epidemic in raccoons within the after several raccoons tested positive for rabies. How can you tell if an animal has rabies? You can’t always tell if an animal has rabies by just looking at it - the only way to know for sure if an animal has rabies is to perform laboratory testing. However, animals with rabies may act strangely. Some may be aggressive and try to bite you or other animals, or they may drool more than normal. (This is sometimes shown in movies as animals “foaming at the mouth.”) Keep in mind, not all animals with rabies will be aggressive or drooling. Other animals may act timid or shy, and a wild animal might move slowly or act tame. You might be able to easily get close to it. Since that’s not the way wild animals usually act, you should remember that something could be
wrong. Some animals may not show any signs of having rabies. It’s important to leave wild animals alone, including baby animals. Some unusual behaviors to look for include: • Staggering gait • An animal seemingly oblivious to noise or nearby movement • Erratic wandering • Discharge from eyes or mouth • Wet and matted hair on face • Repeated high-pitch vocalization • Self-mutilation Anyone who encounters a raccoon exhibiting this unusual behavior, should call the Point Pleasant Police Department immediately at 732-892-0060 so Animal Control can be dispatched to retrieve the raccoon. Pet owners are encouraged to keep their dogs and cats up to date on all their vaccinations. It is also encouraged to maintain property free of trash and use animal proof garbage cans to discourage animals from wandering around your property.

Question: Can I appoint more than one person to be my health care representative under my living will? Answer: No. New Jersey law only allows the appointment of one person as a health care representative at a time. You cannot appoint co-health care representatives. However, you can name a person and then name alternates in the event the first person named cannot act. By way of example, you could name your spouse to be your health care representative and then one of your children to act as an alternate health care representative in the event your spouse is unable to function.
case of an emergency. Question: Does preparing and signing a living will take away my right to make my own health care decisions? Answer: No. A living will only takes effect at a time when two doctors, one of which is your primary care physician, state in writing that you are incapable of making competent decisions regarding your health care. During the time that you are competent to make health care decisions, you, and only you, can make those decisions regardless of what is stated in your living will.
Question: Where should I keep my living will? Answer: You should keep your living will someplace in your house where it is readily accessible to your family. I do not recommend keeping a living will in a safe deposit box at a bank or in a locked safe in your house. Generally, banks are closed on nights and weekends and it will not be easily accessible in the event that your family needs to use it at one of those times. If it is locked in a safe in your house, does your family have the combination to the safe to open it? I usually recommend you keep your living will someplace in your house that is readily accessible by your family. You should let your family know that you have a living will and where it can be found in
Question: If I move in to New Jersey from another state should I do a new living will in New Jersey? I recommend that you prepare a new living will whenever you move from one state to another. The laws of each state may differ because there is no nationwide living will statute. The cost of preparing a living will is between $200-250. The cost of having a living will that is not accepted by the state in which you are now residing could result in the need for a medical guardianship proceeding which could run into the thousands of dollars. To me, it is always better to prepare a new set of estate planning documents when relocating from another state rather than to run the risk that your existing documents may not be accepted in the state in which you now reside.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jul 24 - jul 30 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Expend your energy on worthwhile activities during the upcoming week and your reputation will likely be enhanced. Your job or a pet project could require a variety of skills and an enthusiastic spirit. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Spread your wings and fly as the week unfolds. Working under close supervision could make you feel penned in. Working independently may allow you to achieve much more and receive admiration. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your mind may be on money while your partner’s heart is yearning for love. As this week unfolds, the two of you may find common ground and reach a compromise. Share your thoughts and hopes. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can be a powerful force for good in the week ahead. Use self-confidence to boost your income. Although there may be bills to pay, there may also be opportunities to make extra money. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Gather yourself and take charge. When something needs to be done, you can do it without hesitation. Use wisdom and a generous spirit to handle any intense interpersonal issues in the week to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your hard work and dedication win points at home. A friendly, cooperative attitude can make you popular at work. You’ll probably be even more valued by loved ones as the week wraps up. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Have some
fun, but set aside some time for yourself, too. Capitalize on a clear review of your emotions and the lessons you’ve learned. Focus on fixing problems within the home and family as the week goes by. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Weigh your options on the most accurate scale. Romantic outings may be put on hold in the early part of the week due to scheduling conflicts, but affectionate exchanges should eventually come to a delightful conclusion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): New ideas may capture your imagination in the week to come. Some of them may be highly unrealistic, so although you admire a friend and would like to imitate him or her, focus on making wise choices. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tap into some original ideas during the week ahead. Embark upon a constructive project with a bundle of enthusiasm and determination. A romantic partner may be the perfect person to serve as your muse. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t hesitate to call in a few favors or ask for help from a friend. Your negotiation skills may be a bit weak now, so avoid making irrevocable business and financial decisions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Applying a little bit of hard work or some quick thinking can solve most problems in a hurry. In the upcoming week, you can use imaginative solutions at the workplace to accomplish your objectives.
