By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – The fallen members of the school community should never be forgotten, and the memorial to them has now been restored and rededicated. The Manchester Township High School Fallen Hawks Memorial Garden was created in 2012 by members of
the Class of 2014. In recent years the garden has been closed off to students but Peer Leadership Seminar students took on the project of restoring, improving and reopening the garden which is located in an interior courtyard of the high school. The students refreshed
the landscaping and added plaques on the wall for all of the Fallen Hawks. They also made a video explaining the project and created a bulletin board with photos and information about each of the students and staff mem-
bers memorialized in the garden. They even met virtually with the original creators from the Class of 2014 to discuss their plans. The project video states, “we are renovating the garden not (Garden - See Page 4)
Future Business Administrator Named
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – During a recent Township Council meeting Mayor Robert Hudak introduced the township’s future acting business administrator, Brandon Umbra of Medford. There’s been a bit of a shuffle in this department. The business administra-
tor, who basically oversees the town since Manchester’s mayor is not full time, used to be Donna Markulic. She resigned this year to become the business administrator of Egg Harbor Township. Prior to Markulic’s resignation, Assistant Business Administrator James Gant resigned to take a position as business
administrator in a Monmouth County community. In spring, Michael King was appointed to the spot as acting business administrator. Hudak said his tenure ended prior to his becoming mayor on June 28. Umbra now replaces King. Umbra had previously served as business administrator in

By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Unlike many Ocean County communities, the borough is looking to establish a zone for commercial sales of marijuana in the community. One site that may be utilized is a former Burger King along with an industrial zone in another area of the borough. Councilman Steven Oglesby said during a recent Borough Council meeting that he was set to attend an online marijuana facility seminar. “Hopefully that will guide us in any future endeavors,” Oglesby said. Mayor Harry Robbins said the borough’s land use board would review the ordinance and it “would come back to us for a second reading which will be at our next council meeting which will be open to the public for comment and will be voted on at that time.” Town Improvements Later in the meeting, Oglesby noted that while walking along the borough’s lake near some blueberry bushes, he noticed “a tremendous amount of erosion going on around there. If we could - during the next CDBG (Community Development Block) grant - we could if there is any money left over, we could get a section of bulkheading done there until we could get public utilities to rebuild it.” Councilman Gary Lowe asked about the status of trees to be planted along Union Avenue. “It got stalled and I’m not sure where it stands,” Oglesby said. He noted that cherry trees were (Cannabis - See Page 4)

Also, it can provide a breath of fresh air which is much needed in between classes. It is very important to respect this space especially for those that we have lost,” it added. “We are hoping to keep this tradition alive as we remember the Fallen Hawks that were once a part of our school community,” it

He said would check on the status of that project. Councilman Lowe reported that the borough’s firetrucks had recently been inspected and two sections of hoses failed inspection. It was noted that the borough held a Nerf Wars competition at the ball park on Chestnut Street on July 16. Signage for the new public restroom area at the borough’s lake was also noted by Coun-
concluded. Principal Dennis Adams said the rededication ceremony took place after school in the courtyard with the Leadership students and many staff members attending despite a light rain. He explained the project and thanked everyone involved both from 2014 and this year. Adams added, “we are going to invite some of the parents and members of the family of the fallen hawks to come to this space at graduation or any time that they feel that they want to and this is going to be something that all of Manchester Township High School can respect and be a part of. So we thank you for their memories that will continue to live on at the Hawk’s nest.”
Leadership Seminar Teacher, Sarah Paturzo, said she is very proud of the students for taking on the project and then sticking to it when it ‘took on a life of its own’ and became a much bigger job than they expected. “Thank you guys for your hard work and dedication,” she told the students. The garden memorializes students and staff who passed away while attending or working at MTHS. They are: • George Simmons - Class of 1983 • Charles Redd - Class of 1984 • Juvandy Kinchen - Class of 1985 • Heather Johnson - Class of 2004 • Bernadette Flanagan - Class of 2006 • Francesca Previti - Class of 2014

cilman James Davis. He said that “there is a projection in the next couple of weeks for work on the roof of the Borough Hall.” Mayor Robbins spoke about the replacement of a popular item at the borough’s lake. A climbing attraction for children was found to be in disrepair in the last month and the governing body has been researching and deliberating on what it could do to either fix or replace it. “We have been getting estimates and we are going to go with a ladder as it will last longer. We were looking at a couple of choices. We looked at a climbing wall but we were afraid it would break again. We were also afraid of the electric outlets being where they were and if certain op-
tions would work,” Mayor Robbins said. Councilman Robert McCarthy spoke about an on-point program of the borough’s police department which he said was highly effective and worked through social services. He also noted that the borough received a body camera grant. “We have the National Night Out moving forward,” McCarthy said. He noted this year’s National Night Out program would be held at the borough’s lake on August 3. During the public comment period resident Bruce Morrison noted that there were still no signs on the bathrooms at the lake. “How hard is it to get signs up? The new bathrooms have been there for months.”
Among the resolutions approved during the meeting was the appointment of Elizabeth Vega as a lifeguard at the lake. The hiring of a lifeguard was a concern earlier in the summer due to a lack of applicants. The Council also voted to approve a resolution accepting state funds in the borough’s participation in the state bodyworn camera grant program. Council members also voted to award a contract for the 2021 New Jersey Department of Transportation Lake Street Reconstruction project. The governing body also voted to approve a professional services contract with Remington and Vernick Engineers for additional services.

Teen Charged With Stealing Packages Off Porches
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER –A township teenager has been charged with stealing packages from the porches of homes in the community. Patrolman Keith Craig responded to a residence Lawrence Avenue in the Pine Lake Park section of the township on July 13. Several Amazon packages were reported stolen from the porch of that home and it was discovered that the victim’s vehicle was keyed and damaged. During the initial investigation, the patrolman obtained Ring surveillance footage of the crime in progress and of the suspect. The Manchester Police
Department used this footage and two images of the suspect was posted to the department’s social media pages. Afterwards police received information from numerous concerned citizens with regard to the identity of a potential suspect. Upon receiving that information, Patrolman Craig continued his investigation and was able to identity of the suspect as
Asim Hines, an 18-year-old male. Hines was charged on July 20 for theft and criminal mischief. The police department is thanking residents for their assistance in the solving of this crime. In addition, the public is reminded that anyone with information regarding any investigations are encouraged to contact the Manchester Police at
732-657-6111. As a reminder, anonymous tips can be submitted online at manchesterpolicenj. com. Tips may also be submitted through private messages on our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok). Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Congressman Wants People To Sue China Over COVID Misinformation From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. − Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) announced that he will seek a recorded vote by the entire House of Representatives on his legislation to allow U.S. citizens the right to sue the Chinese government for its large-scale misrepresentation campaign during the coronavirus pandemic. Smith’s announcement follows a recorded vote on his amendment (26 Democrats - No; 21 Republicans - Yes) held by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which excluded it from the Ensuring American
Global Leadership and Engagement (EAGLE) Act. The Committee’s party-line vote marked a historic first recorded vote in the House on the right to sue China for its gross lack of transparency during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Justice delayed is justice denied,” said Smith, who fifteen months ago first introduced a bill nearly identical to his amendment. “We must get to the truth about what happened and those who were involved to bring justice to those who suffered greatly.” During Committee debate on his legislation, Smith called attention to the deleterious consequences resulting from the Chinese government’s failure to be transparent amid the COVID-19 crisis, including the enormous loss of life caused by the
pandemic, which killed over 26,000 in his home state of New Jersey; 600,000 across the country; and 4 million throughout the entire world. “Knowing that China’s dictator Xi Jinping and his government systematically failed to be truthful and transparent, my amendment seeks to not only gain access to more information but also provide much-needed relief to the loved ones of those who died and others who have suffered severe economic loss during the pandemic,” said Smith, who has chaired 72 hearings on China’s egregious human rights abuses. Smith’s amendment would waive the Foreign Immunities Act to empower United States citizens with the right to sue the Chinese government in U.S. courts for personal injury, death, monetary damages, or damage to or loss of property occurring in the U.S. as a result of the Chinese Com-
munist Party’s willful or grossly negligent misrepresentation of information to the World Health Organization (WHO). The amendment would also apply to other countries who provide misinformation to the WHO about the nature, seriousness or communicability of an infectious disease. “Besides damages paid to those individuals who have endured so much pain and loss, my amendment can bring discovery and the opportunity in court to ask probing questions that will hopefully lead to answers and help prevent this type of behavior in the future.” Smith’s amendment parallels the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorist Act (JASTA) - legislation enacted by Congress in 2016 over the veto of President Obama allowing the families of 9/11 victims to seek justice against Saudi Arabia for aiding and abetting the terrorists involved in the horrific attacks.
Civics Instruction Will Now Be Required At Middle School Level From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON − Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation (S-854) requiring civics instruction at the middle school level. Currently, New Jersey is one of a minority of states which does not require civics instruction for middle school students. Under the legislation, the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University will be directed to prepare civics curriculum guidelines for local school boards, ensuring that middle and high school students study the values and principles underlying
the American system of constitutional democracy, the function of government, and the role of a citizen in a democratic society. The bill also directs the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University to provide professional development and other resources for high school social studies teachers as they fulfill the requirement of integrating civics into the existing United States history course. Under the bill, beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, each board of education is required to provide a course of study in civics at the appropriate grade level. The legislation is also known as “Laura Wooten’s Law” in honor of the longest continuously serving poll worker in American history. Laura Wooten worked polls
in New Jersey for 79 years before passing away in 2019. “By deepening civics instruction in middle school and high school, we are giving students the tools they need to be more engaged and informed citizens,” said Governor Murphy. “An understanding of civics strengthens our democracy by ensuring an understanding of the role that everyone plays in the future of their community, our state, and our nation. I am proud to sign this bill into law and honor Laura Wooten’s incredible civic legacy.” “While civics has been a key element of our state’s learning standards for decades, this new law greatly increases the focus and attention that schools will place on civics instruction,” said Dr. Angelica Allen-McMillan, Acting Commissioner of Education. “The additional instruction that students will receive will ultimately lead to a well-informed and well-rounded citizenry.” “Government leaders have been sounding the alarm about the civics crisis in this country for years, and I am grateful we are finally taking action,” said Senator Shirley Turner. “The crisis reached a breaking point after the November election, which culminated in an insurrection at our U.S. Capitol in January. Safeguarding our democracy is now more urgent than ever, and one of the best ways we can do that is by teaching our future generations about the importance of civic skills, engagement, and participation and the value of a democratic process. The lack of civics knowledge creates a challenge to maintaining a perfect union, establishing justice, and ensuring domestic tranquility. We must learn to work together for the good of all of our communities and begin
to bridge the deep political divide that exists in this country.” “A well-rounded education in civics is essential for creating knowledgeable, engaged citizens who understand the sacrifices and hardships made on behalf of our democracy,” said Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean. “The law…will help provide students with the skills and background necessary for them to actively participate in democratic society. Every student in our public schools will have the opportunity to learn about how our government functions, the rights of citizens, and the values our nation was built on.” “I think we all appreciate how critical teaching civics is to the continuation of our democracy,” said Arlene Gardner, President of the NJ Center for Civic Education at Rutgers. “This new requirement for a civics course in New Jersey middle schools is a well thought-out and carefully considered effort to address an educational and citizenship need. As president of the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University, I am both humbled and proud to be able to help in the implementation of this new course and in bringing New Jersey to the forefront of reimaging civic learning for the 21st century.” “My mother would be so honored to know that a bill would be passed recognizing her legacy of civic responsibility,” said Yvonne Hill, the daughter of Laura Wooten. “She always felt that the youth should be involved in exercising the hard-fought right to vote and help make change. Her famous words were ‘Don’t say you can’t make a difference. How can you make a difference if you don’t vote?’”

Around The Jersey Shore Ceremony Pays Tribute To Forgotten Veterans
By Alyssa Riccardi MONMOUTH COUNTY – The remains of 23 American veterans were laid to rest at the Military Honors For Forgotten Veterans event. The ceremony paid tribute, honored and provided unclaimed veterans with the proper sendoff they deserve. The remains of these heroes, some going back as far as World War I, sometimes sit on a shelf inside a funeral home for years, according to The Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA). The VVA’s goal is to “promote and support the full range of issues important to Vietnam veterans, to create a new identity for this generation of veterans, and to change public perception of Vietnam veterans.” The 23 veterans and two of their spouses were from WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam War eras. To date, 90 veterans or spouses have been interred and 23 were returned to family by VVA Chapter 12. “When I heard about veterans being abandoned on shelves at funeral homes I couldn’t believe it and knew that we had to do something, so it became my mission,” Ernie Diorio, Vice President of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter
12 said. “A lot of time and energy is put into this. You need to ensure veterans are honorably discharged, obtain their death and cremation certificates, and have a funeral with full military honors, but the results are extremely rewarding.” The Military Honors For Forgotten Veterans event included four stops during the procession. After departing from the Manalapan Police Station, stops were made at the Hall of Records in Freehold Borough, CentraState Medical Center in Freehold Township and Prospertown Lake in Cream Ridge. The route concluded at the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Memorial Cemetery where the ceremony at which the cremains of the forgotten were interred. The Vietnam Veterans of America organized the procession along with the help of the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, Manalapan Township Police Department, Ocean County Sheriff’s Department, the Monmouth County Government Board of County Commissioners and CentraState Healthcare System. “We could never repay our veterans for the sacrifices they have made, but what we can do is never forget. It’s vital that these veterans who served our country
−Photo courtesy Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office Urns of the 23 veterans decorated with flowers and a folded American Flag. are given respect and provided a proper burial filled with dignity and honor,” Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden said. “The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office is proud to be a part this significant event and thank the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 12 for their commitment
and tireless work to ensure these forgotten veterans receive full military honors.” The service included a moment of reflection, where a bouquet of flowers was given to family members and a flower was placed on each urn for the 23 forgotten veterans and two spouses.

3 Tips For Better Battery Life
It’s a Netflix movie night when suddenly — Argh! — you hear the “beep, beep” of your nonrechargeable hearing aid batteries going dead. For longer battery life, take charge with these three tips. Pulling the stay-fresh colored tab immediately activates the battery and can’t be undone, so do this only when you’re ready to insert the battery in your hearing aid. Wait at least 3 minutes before you close the battery door. The reason is oxygen needs to get inside the battery to turn up the voltage. Powering down your hearing devices helps the batteries last, so be sure to turn off your hearing aids — and completely open the battery door — when not in use.
Hot cars and super-cold spaces aren’t great places for batteries, so store them at room temperature when possible — not in the fridge — to help preserve battery life. Did you know? The majority of our patients are not utilizing rechargeable hearing aids which eliminates the need to open/close battery doors and/or replace the battery every week. In general, the rechargeable hearing aid can deliver allday power (18-24 hours), so you don’t miss a beat. To learn more, call Dr. Izzy at Garden State Hearing & Balance Center. Offices are located in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting. 732-818-3610 or www.gardenstatehearing.com
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!

How Certain Medications Increase Lung Complications
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The worldwide pandemic has caused enormous public health problems and substantial mortality, so it is important that vulnerable groups of people know the information that I’m sharing today. If you’ve followed my life’s work, you know that one of my passions is the phenomena of drug nutrient depletion. This describes how medications rob the body of essential nutrients via their mechanism of action. It’s something I call the “drug mugger” effect, and I have a book by the same name. The classic example that everyone understands is with antibiotics. These drugs will rob the body of essential microflora in the intestines because they cannot discriminate between good “bugs” and bad ones. Another classic example is with oral contraceptives which mug you of various B vitamins and minerals, leading to a higher risk of hypothyroidism. Today’s article is to explain the relationship between certain prescribed medications and complications that arise from the depletion of essential nutrients. That said, you should never discontinue a medication simply because it is suppressing a particular nutrient. Instead, you should install a security system in your body by simply taking the nutrients that are being mugged. This allows you to remain on your medication, while mitigating side effects that would have occurred if you didn’t restore the nutrients being stolen. You may not realize this, but two categories of medication can suppress zinc in the human body. Those include the antihypertensives which lower blood pressure, and the acid-reducing medications for heartburn. These and other medications can negatively influence the status of zinc in your body
which participates in hundreds of important metabolic reactions including those which allow you to hear well, have lovely skin, and improve fertility. When zinc levels decline it impairs one’s immunity, and lowers your resistance to pathogens. Zinc deficiencies also suppress your ability to do good cellular housekeeping because you can’t effectively make glutathione anymore in your liver. Foods that are rich in zinc include beef, dairy, oysters, seafood, whole grains and nuts/seeds. Several other micronutrients are important and these include vitamin D, vitamin C and probiotics. Malnutrition, medications and/ or a diet consisting of nutritionally naked foods will lead to deficiencies in all of these.

Ocean Ice Palace’s New Owners Share Their Plans
By Chris Christopher BRICK − The Ocean Ice Palace has new owners. They are the Harmony Hockey Group of Middletown, which has partnered with Work Play Arena, LLC. “We have created a great partnership and we will operate for many years to come,” said George Haviland, the managing part-
ner, chief executive officer and president of the Harmony Hockey Group. Haviland said he is the owner and operator of the ice rinks, swimming club and artificial turf fields at the Middletown Sports Complex, managed by the Harmony Hockey group. The Ocean Ice Palace had been owned by the Dwulet family since 1962. The fam-
ily said on social media that the facility was scheduled to close at the end of this month. That post was later taken down. “We have just taken over the Ocean Ice Palace,” Haviland told jerseyshoreonline. com, the website of The Brick Times, in an email at 7:18 a.m. Wednesday, July 21. “We’re coming in to save it.” Haviland said the deal was closed Tues-
day, July 20. “We will keep it as an ice rink,” he said. “We will revitalize the ice skating and certainly the ice hockey programs at the historical ice facility. I have a great team of operators and hockey experts and a long-standing history not only in New Jersey but across the country as a leader in hockey development and the placement of athletes. I could not stand by and let it close. Its history is too rich. Brick Township and the surrounding communities should be able to use it for a long time. The purchase drew positive reaction from ice hockey fans on Facebook. Ex-Brick Township High School player Warren Charles Wolf, whose dad, Warren H. Wolf, founded the team on the club level and enjoyed a legendary career as the Green Dragons’ head football coach, said, “Beautiful! Wonderful! Outstanding!” “Sounds like a great idea,” retired educator Richard J. Frank said. “It’s reassuring to see that he (Haviland) recognizes the arena’s historical place in the community, former Jersey Shore sports journalist Tom Benn said. “Now, hopefully, parents will pry their children away from their TVs and laptops and have them lace up their skates. Good luck, Brick, on restoring the rink’s role in your community.” “FANTASTIC NEWS!!!” said Darlene May Scheiderman. “That’s terrific for Brick and all of Ocean County,” retired educator Frank Hughes said. “Good to hear,” said Tom Webber, a former Brick assistant baseball coach. “Thank God,” retired Brick head football coach Rob Dahl said. “Let’s get Brick Hockey back in there where they belong.” “Maybe even get both Brick schools to play there again,” said Shawn Scott, an avid Green Dragons fan. Haviland owns the New Jersey Titans and the Jersey Whalers hockey clubs. The Middletown Sports Complex offers sports and entertainment activities. Their junior camp will be led by Haviland and former Brick Township High School, Lake Superior State and New Jersey Devils star Jim Dowd, who scored many a goal at the Ocean Ice Palace under legendary (Plans - See Page 25)

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

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
Easterseals Day Program Restarts 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

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 (Program - See Page 30)

Plans:
Continued From Page 20 Green Dragons coach Bob Auriemma Sr., who retired a few years back. “That’s great news,” Auriemma Sr. said of the purchase. “The Ocean Ice Palace has been a fixture for so long. George is steeped in ice hockey and I feel he will do well. He is always upbeat. He always has positive comments. His ownership of the Ocean Ice Palace is all on the plus side. I am relieved that someone who knows ice hockey and who knows how difficult things can be has bought the Ocean Ice Palace. Haviland said Dowd will be involved at the Ocean Ice Palace. “He will be an ambassador,” Haviland said. “Jim’s boys played in our New Jersey Titans program. He has been with the Titans for five years as a coach. He has
been a part of our ecosystem in Middletown where he coaches a number of our teams. I call him, ‘Jersey Jim.’ We have known each other since we were kids. We will have him forever. He is a legend. He is super positive with all of the guys. He treats them fairly. He can give tips to our players that most guys can’t give as he played for 17 years in the National Hockey League.” “My heart and soul are in Brick, New Jersey, and I want to help as many kids as I can,” Dowd said. “All roads lead back to Brick for me.” Dowd said the inaugural Jim Dowd Holiday Classic, a Christmas event, will take place Dec. 27-30. It will consist of Shore Conference and non-conference teams. Haviland said he hopes to bring the Green Dragons and the Brick Hockey Club back to the rink. Both have been
absent. “We want the Green Dragons back,” he said. “We want to talk to the Brick Hockey Club about bringing them back to where they belong. I have met with the Brick Township Recreation Department about them having a variety of programs at the rink. They are very happy about this.” Haviland said the facility will have a new name. “The Dwulet family asked us to change the name as the Ocean Ice Palace’s name has a trademark,” he said. “A possibility is the Brick Ice Palace. “The equipment at the rink is in good shape,” he said. “We will upgrade the locker rooms. We want to make it a community center for those who want to skate.” Haviland, 56, is a Wall Township resident and a 1982 graduate of Middletown
High School South where he played club ice hockey. Haviland’s wife, Lisa, are the parents of four daughters, including Jess, who captains the women’s ice hockey team at Hamilton College, and Brianna, a member of the Elmira College women’s ice hockey team. He attended the University of Vermont where he played ice hockey. In addition to his extensive coaching career, Haviland said he has been involved with the business aspect of ice hockey for 25 years. “We have produced many college players,” he said. “We have developed unbelievable young men - NHL players, doctors, lawyers and realtors. I have coached 15,000 players. Ice hockey is a great sport because the players have to work together to accomplish team goals. It’s a fast moving sport and you need the whole team to produce.”

Dr. Avinash Gupta and Dr. Geeta Gupta By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Here in New Jersey, we are slowly crawling out from under the shadow of the pandemic, but it’s not the same everywhere. We faced the brunt of it last year, but now other states are feeling it. And other countries. One thing this pandemic has proven is that it is hard for people to imagine what someone else is going through. How many times have you heard someone say that it’s the virus that big of a deal – until it happens to them or someone they love? Locally, vaccination sites are no longer clogged. Most people who want a vaccine seem to be able to get them without a problem. So, two local doctors have turned their eyes toward those in need close to their roots. Avinash and Geeta Gupta are Toms River doctors who have been helping people in their native India as well. Geeta went to India in February of 2020 to start a free clinic with other doctors in the city of Ranchi. The clinic is called Bran, which means “life” in Hindi. “We grew up there. We went to med school there, so that’s why we want to give back to our area,” she said. It was still early in the pandemic timeline, and India didn’t have many cases. She wound up testing positive when she returned. She had a mild case, isolated for 10 days, and recuperated. The first wave of coronavirus didn’t impact India as bad as here, which left people with a false sense of security. Now, less than 10 percent of the population is vaccinated. “India is in the same situation this year as we were last year,” Avinash said. “We were getting calls every day: ‘We are not getting hospital beds. We can’t get oxygen. We can’t even get doctors.’” Just as they started the free clinic last year,
−Photo by Chris Lundy the Guptas started a COVID care center in Patna this year. Telemedicine revolutionized treatment here, and abroad. What better way to avoid spreading the disease than not even being in the same room? Now, expand on that – why not treat people in another country the same way? The Guptas have been doing telemedicine for people in India for months now. They dedicate at least an hour a day. At 9:30 p.m. here, it’s 7 a.m. there. There could be 250 people on the tipline, and it fills up immediately. They can break out into 1-on1 consultations for privacy. Other doctors have joined their mission and also provide telemedicine. Blood reports and X-rays are shared through WhatsApp. The patients they are seeing in India have the same issue here, and that’s vaccine hesitancy. Some patients don’t think they need it. The doctors instruct patients on how not to contract the virus, how to treat it, and how to recover from it. The first part – preventing transmission – is the same mantras we have heard here: wash hands, social distance, get a vaccine. The next step is evaluating how sick they are if they do test positive. Since there is a shortage of beds in hospitals, it’s important that only the worst cases go there. If the virus can be treated at home, they should stay at home. A patient’s blood oxygen level and temperature are taken, and if it’s within a safe range, they are told how to take care of themselves. Finally, if someone has already beat the virus, there is quite a bit of aftercare needed, especially if it was a serious case. Something you don’t hear about too often is the lingering effects. Additionally, the virus has claimed a large (Doctors - See Page 30)

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.

An organization they belong to, Bihar-Jharkhand Association of North America, has been sending aid in two different ways. First, there is immediate aid for people facing starvation, such as pregnant women. Second, they are trying to help the survivors learn skills to establish a livelihood for the long run. “India is the largest producer of vaccines,” Avinash said. However, they distributed them all to other countries because it wasn’t so bad in their own country. Now that it is, there’s a shortage. And when they needed help, it wasn’t coming from here. There was a shortage of ingredients coming from the U.S. Finally, President Joe Biden lifted the embargo,
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.”
allowing the materials to be exported there. While the vaccine isn’t a 100 percent surefire protection, it does weaken the virus if you do catch it. “It’s turning a deadly disease into the common cold,” Avinash said. It will likely prevent you from having to be hospitalized. This is very important considering the Delta and Delta Plus variants that are now spreading, and are even more contagious. How To Help BJANA is a philanthropic organization that provides aid to disadvantaged people in the Indian states of Bihar and Jharkhand. Dr. Avinash Gupta is president of this organization. This group has been able to provide medical supplies, immediate aid, and even ambulances. Visitors to BJANA.org can click on the Help BJANA drop-down menu in order to donate or volunteer.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jul 31 - aug 6 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): YHead off problems at the pass. Attend to financial obligations before they can disrupt your budget or interrupt your routines. In the week ahead, don’t splurge if you shouldn’t. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Face the fact that there will be times when you don’t receive instant gratification. There may be a hidden catch in a plan this week. Be flexible with all of your plans, as they may change. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Only recommend things you’re sure of. Avoid involvement in anything that seems sketchy and could backfire. Explain things in detail so that no lingering doubts hamper the outcome in the week to come. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone might doubt your ability, so take steps to prove them wrong as the week unfolds. Achieve your goals and hit the target by developing a picture of the future and aiming your energies in that direction. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can mentally grasp the ins and outs of a complicated situation. Use your knowledge to devise a plan that benefits everyone involved. Avoid impulse spending and hang onto your cash in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone might think you’re doing nothing when in fact you’re doing a great deal. Make the most of your harmonious relationships this weekend, as you may not be as well attuned later in the week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your roman-
tic nature may be fired up today, and your vivid imagination likely has few boundaries. You’re still practical enough to avoid risky business in the week ahead and can dissuade a partner from overspending. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s easy for you to understand the need for order and planning. Pay attention to lessons learned from experience as this week unfolds. Sometimes you must remind people of the past to persuade them to change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you want to succeed, consider the well-being of all concerned. Don’t put your foot in your mouth at the workplace by offering uninvited advice. Focus on being in the right place at the right time this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Achieving goals can become a game that gives you permission to go for broke. Although you might be popular at work, someone may be jealous of your success. Hold off on making major purchases this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Respect any reasonable request for personal space. People who rub shoulders with you in a group setting might secretly be offended by familiarity or a lack of formality. Use good manners in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Some people do their best work behind the scenes. You might not be in the spotlight, but you still can make a valuable contribution. You won’t need to micromanage a situation to get other people to cooperate.
