–Photo courtesy Manchester Schools Manchester Schools Superintendent David Trethaway announced his retirement recently. He will be leaving the district in February 2022. Here he speaks to Manchester High School seniors during the 2021 graduation ceremony. By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – As the saying goes, all good things come to an end, and thus the tenure of Superintendent David Trethaway will conclude early next year. During a recent school board meeting Trethaway announced his plans for retirement. During that meeting he noted that “it is with mixed emotions that I
am announcing my retirement from the Manchester Township School District as of February 1, 2022. “I can only say, it’s been an honor to serve this school district as the superintendent. I’m starting my 15th year in Manchester, 45 years in education,” he added. He also noted that he was “proud of what we’ve accom-
plished and what the staff, the parents and the community have accomplished. We’ve been through mold situations, we’ve been through a hurricane situation, and now we’re dealing with a pandemic. As a district, we have always successfully met each challenge.” The superintendent said he had wanted to retire a few

Phil Murphy declared that all students, educators, staff and visitors are required to wear masks in public, private and parochial schools, regardless of grade level, unless they meet an exemption.

Parents Weigh Sending Children Back To School With Masks
By Sydney Kennedy OCEAN COUNTY – For many students across the country, this fall will be their first time back in the classroom on a regular schedule in almost a year and a half. New Jersey students are no exception. Based on the state’s guidance, students should expect to be back in school full time, with no remote option as of yet.

Continued From Page 1 Afghan citizens who aided the United States and provides them essential support at secure locations, where they can complete the (special immigrant visa) process safely. As of August 21, 3,376 U.S. citizens had been airlifted out of Kabul to various locations, according to a government document. U.S. Army Major General William Taylor told members of the press the number of people America has evacuated from Afghanistan was 37,000 in the first week starting August 14. Taylor said that the military’s mission remains ensuring a steady flow of evacuees who are escaping from Kabul. Governor Phil Murphy sent President Joe Biden a letter requesting that refugees be sent to the Garden State. The refugees will be staying at the Joint Base following their flee to freedom from the Taliban. “The Department of Defense recently approved a request for assistance from the State Department to provide temporary housing, sustainment, and support inside the United States for specified Afghan Special Immigration Visa applicants and their families, and other vulnerable Afghans, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst,” said Derek VanHorn, Chief of Media Relations for the base. “This support is in addition to Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, and Fort Bliss, Texas, and Fort Lee, Virginia.” The number of refugees coming to the base was not able to be confirmed by press time. It was also not known how many service

members would be there to assist. “The task force at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey will provide the housing, medical, logistics, and transportation support,” VanHorn said. “We are proud to support the State Department with this important mission.” He explained that the U.S. Northern Command is the Department of Defense’s lead combatant command for this mission in the continental United States and is providing oversight in support of the Department of State. U.S. Army North, as U.S. Northern Command’s Joint Force Land Component Command, is the lead operational command for this mission. Some local officials have been commenting on the withdrawal. Berkeley Councilman James Byrnes, a Vietnam vet, said he hoped that the refugees would be vetted upon their arrival here. He also wanted to make sure there was a separation between the mission and the soldiers who are performing the mission. While the withdrawal has had problems, people need to support the service men and women who are trying their best in a bad situation. Another Berkeley Councilman, Michael Signorile, said he didn’t serve in Afghanistan, and people who didn’t serve over there should be careful about judging the soldiers who are over there. Talking with other veterans, he shared that there is a challenge that soldiers face when they see something they can do to help but are told not to. He urged people to take care of the troops when they come home.

Protestors:
Continued From Page 1 hospital staff being vaccinated against the coronavirus. The protest took place in front of the Hackensack Meridian Health’s Ocean Medical Center in Brick. Gov. Phil Murphy had signed an executive order earlier this month declaring that all who work in health care facilities and other high-risk areas must be vaccinated or take tests every week. Most of those present said the mandate removed freedom of choice while others questioned the science of the vaccines being administered. Some of those participating in the protest said they were vaccinated while others said they were not and did not trust the science of it. Many who spoke to The Brick Times were not comfortable in providing their names and no one could identify who organized the rally. Those who participated said they learned of it through social media. Ben Goldstein, director of public relations at Hackensack Meridian Health noted “these vaccines are safe and effective. Hackensack Meridian Health supports the right of team members to express their beliefs peacefully and in a way that does not jeopardize or disturb the continuity of care for our patients. “COVID-19 vaccines are proven to be safe and highly effective at preventing hospitalizations and death from the virus. Over the past year, we have used every
The Manchester Times, August 28, 2021, Page 5 tool at our disposal to protect patients and team members from COVID-19 and will continue to do so,” Goldstein said. Goldstein added, “we are requiring vaccinations for all team members to control that spread of this deadly virus; keep our patients, team members and visitors safe; and to comply with Governor Murphy’s Executive Order signed on August 6, requiring health care and other frontline workers to be vaccinated or undergo regular COVID testing. “We have 2,700 employees here at this hospital. We have a process in place where team members can file for an exemption,” Goldstein said. The internal deadline for that was August 16 and hospital officials are in the process of reviewing those requests. For Moderna and Pfi zer vaccines which require two shots, hospital workers would need to have their fi rst shot by October 1. The deadline for the second shot is November 13. It was noted that the number of hospital staff receiving their vaccination has spiked since the governor’s mandate. The ratio jumped from 71% to about 80% network wide. “We want to keep our members and our patients safe,” Goldstein said. Rebecca Banach of Beachwood is in the medical field but doesn’t work at the hospital. She came out to lend her voice and raise a sign to support the rally’s purpose. “I feel that mandating something is not necessarily the best course of action. I have heard of incidents where vaccinated persons are still able to transfer this dis-
ease. I just want the nurses to be able to have their own choices like the patients,” she added. Other members of her family came out to the protest as well. “If you want the vaccine, you should get it, but don’t force it. It’s not fair,” another member of the Banach family said. “I actually got the vaccine. When it fi rst came out and was available at the hospital. I did it because I was thinking about other people. I didn’t want to give them the virus. Now they tell you whether you are vaccinated or not you can still transfer it, so its choice. I’m here to support freedom of choice. America is about freedom and we have the right to choose. It is our bodies and it is our right to choose,” David Banach said. “If I want to have something injected in my body that I think will be beneficial to me that is my right if I feel it may harm me or my unborn child or my children than I have the right to deny it, I don’t want it,” he added. Another nearby protestor didn’t wish to disclose their name because she said she was afraid. “I do work here and I don’t want to have a problem. I love where I work - it does not have anything to do with this building. The people are awesome and work very hard. I am not vaccinated. My husband is; I am not. It is freedom of choice and that is what we asking for.” She added, “my daughters who are lined up here are not vaccinated. It is about it being mandatory. If we start here what else are they going to tell us must be? Where do we draw the line? I hope the

governor hears us.” Dressed in a stars and stripes top, Point Pleasant Beach resident Marjorie Warga came out to support the workers and free choice. “You should not be mandating any type of experimental medication or whatever you call it. Being vaccinated is my prerogative. It is an experiment not a vaccine. We have no idea what the ramifications are going to be in the years to come because the studies have not been produced. No one should be forced to put something in their body.” Former Brick resident Dave Anderson was visiting the area when he learned of the rally. “I’m actually vaccinated but I am all about choice. My ex-wife was a nurse here. What is their choice getting the vaccine or lose their jobs?” “I’m a physician and what I’ve seen since February, I’ve never seen in 35 years,” said another protestor who declined to identify himself. He stood beside holding a sign with a health worker who also raised concerns about the vaccines themselves. “I have a patient who got the vaccine in May and she has not been the same since. She has chronic fatigue, neurological changes and brain fog, abdominal swelling and it is all because of the shot,” she said. “We’ve seen numerous cases that people aren’t hearing about.” “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,” Goldstein said.

Parents:
Continued From Page 1 said. “…I would like her to at least have the virtual option.” Bergmann’s preference for a virtual option is not far from the preference of others for virtual learning. Christina Liotti, another local parent sending a child back to Toms River schools, says her son “was an ideal virtual student” who achieved “perfect attendance and straight As” as a remote learner. “As of now he is being positive about his return to in-person school after being all virtual since the beginning of the pandemic,” Liotti said of her son. Looking to the 2021-2022 school year, the CDC’s guidance remains the same: “Students benefit from in-person learning, and safely returning to in-person instruction in the fall 2021 is a priority.” “Well, I believe that all parents shouldn’t be worried about taking their kids to school. Especially because our kids were sent out of school for almost two years from COVID,” Toms River parent Eva Cardenas said, before the mask mandate was issued.
The Manchester Times, August 28, 2021, Page 7 To safely return to school, districts must meet a number of state guidelines. Toms River Regional School District, for example, “will be accommodating social distancing where practical.” According to their Restart and Recovery Plan, if desks cannot be spaced six feet apart from each other, physical barriers will be installed. The district has also purchased air scrubbers for each classroom. Though, the state and CDC have updated guidelines from recommending six feet of
social distance to three feet. New Jersey’s health and safety guidance for the upcoming school year also includes promotion of vaccination among “all eligible students and staff,” cohorting, teaching and reinforcing handwashing, daily cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch surfaces, improving air flow with outdoor air or exhaust fans and more. The CDC currently “recommends universal masking by all students (age 2 or older),
staff, teachers, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status” in light of the “circulating and highly contagious Delta variant.” A group of Toms River parents that are against the mask mandate have been coordinating coming out with strength of numbers. They plan to attend the Toms River Board of Education meeting held at 7:30 p.m. at High School South. The meeting will also be livestreamed.

Retire:
Continued From Page 1 months ago, in June of 2021 but when the pandemic hit, he knew it was not a good time and decided to wait. He said he hoped that announcing his retirement now would allow the board more than enough time to conduct a search for his replacement and make a smooth transition. “I just want to say that this is an excellent district and it’s important to keep it that way for our students. This district is respected throughout the county. We have a lot to be proud of. The community, the staff, the parents, the students and the board have all been very good to me. I’m proud to be part of Manchester and what we stand for as a district,” Trethaway added. Trethaway said he’s enjoyed his lengthy career in education and his time in the Manchester School District. “I have been blessed with a great teaching and support staff, administrators, board of education and parents and a community who all support the schools. It has been a privilege to be the Superintendent of the Manchester Township School District.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL A Conspiracy Theory About Conspiracy Theorists Until recently, I didn’t honestly believe in conspiracies. Three people can’t agree on pizza toppings, you think that a group can take over the world? Any time you add an additional person to a power structure it gets even more diluted. Have you ever tried dealing with a middle manager? Totally useless. I’ve also worked a variety of jobs, and covered government meetings for most of my career. From this, I’ve learned that the bigger the organization, the more chances there are for things to go wrong. So, it never really made sense to me that people would believe there’s a huge conspiracy trying to control your life. There are just too many moving parts, too many strong personalities, too many stupid people making mistakes, and too many random occurrences for this to happen. I still believe this, but now I have my own conspiracy theory. My con-
spiracy theory is that there are conspiracy theorists trying to make us believe that there’s a big conspiracy out to get us. That was intentionally confusing for the sake of humor. But let me digress. I think there are people who are part of a conspiracy and they don’t even know it. You might even be one of them. I’ve been attending meetings, or watching them from home, for two decades because of my job. Every town would have one harmless person who would come to the meetings and say something out of left f ield. “We should have a drinking fountain for horses in town.” That sort of thing. (That was a real example, by the way.) This person would be quirky but friendly, and they would have good intentions. The elected officials got to know them by name, and if that person missed a meeting, they’d ask if they were OK. That’s not what’s been happening the last couple of years. I’ve seen people infiltrate meetings, for

lack of a better word. They always pick a hot-button issue, like COVID or critical race theory, and regurgitate conspiracy theories about it. They’ll go on and on about a topic, when they don’t even live in the town. Or, they’ll talk about something horrible that the school district is doing and then mention that they don’t have a kid in the school. Where are they coming f rom? W hat’s their end goal? Do they get worked up by something they read online and feel like they have to say something so they go to the next meeting, even if it’s not their town? Do they pick a town like Toms River because it has a large crowd and they are dying for an audience? I’m not alone in my concerns. NBC reported that a QAnon leader has urged his followers to start going to board of education meetings, get people scared of critical race theory, for example, and then run for office. Board of education elections are usually won by much fewer votes, so it’s easier to get into positions
of power. If you’re not already aware, QAnon people believe that there’s a conspiracy of powerful people like Biden and Oprah Winfrey who are part of a pedophile ring who are eating white babies and trying to take over the world. Seriously. My aunt, who lives in another state, is going down this rabbit hole and it’s scary to watch. The National Education Association wrote an article “Is QAnon Radicalizing Your School Board?” They gave examples that “Across the county, conspiracy theorists and proponents of fake news are winning local elections. And their new positions give them a powerful voice in everything from local law enforcement to libraries, trash pickup to textbook purchases.” There are two breeds of people, to my understanding. On one hand, there are people who are intentionally spreading false information to scare people and create power for themselves. I’m not going to name names, but there are a few elected officials in Ocean County right
now who fit this description. They collect people who are feeling scared and hopeless and make them feel more scared – then they tell them that their only hope is voting a certain way. People believe that the government is controlling them; in this case, they’re right. But it’s the person feeding them lies that is really controlling them. On the other hand, there are people who are completely unaware that they believe in conspiracy theories. These are the real victims, here. They think they have found the truth about a subject, but they are being misled. Some of the anti-mask and anti-vaccine complaints are legitimate concerns. I’m not saying that all of it is bunk. People are bringing up some valid arguments and, as you see from our coverage of anti-mask and anti-vaccine events, we cover all sides. But some of it is tied to QAnon. However, QAnon knows that it has a bad reputation, so it has taken its name off of a lot of its media. “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was pulled was convincing the world
he didn’t exist.” (Charles Baudelaire) You don’t even realize that you’re spreading a conspiracy theory. You just find something online, and it makes sense. Then, because Facebook tracks what you look at, it will put a similar thing in front of your eyeballs. Before you know it, you’ve read a dozen things that are all versions of the same theory. Before you know it, you’re hooked. You’re part of the conspiracy without even knowing it. The only thing I can say at this point is please be careful with what you read and watch. Question whether the person putting it out has your interest at heart or if they are trying to manipulate you into fighting people or hating someone who is different than you. If you really want to fight against a conspiracy, the best thing to do is be yourself. Chris Lundy News Editor
Letters To The Editor Give A Voice To The Voiceless Did you know that New Jersey was the first state to sign the Bill of Rights? Did you know that even before the 19th amendment was ratified in 1920, New Jersey’s 1776 Constitution never excluded women from voting? As New Jersey residents, we should be proud that we have been able to lead the way on so many important and ground-breaking developments. Positive social change is something we should continue to lead. So, I must question why we have not led the charge on Farm Animal Protection? Currently our state allows
cruel gestation crates and veal crates in factory farms. These crates confine animals to such an extent that they cannot extend their limbs or turn around. Pregnant pigs are forced to live their entire lives like this, unable to move causing extremely painful muscle and bone damage. Calves are confined to small wooden crates and are fed unnatural diets to induce anemia. Based on our state’s previous actions for giving a voice to the voiceless, I cannot believe that this conforms with New Jersey’s values. Ten other states and the European Union have already banned gestation crates, and nine states have banned veal crates. It’s far
past the time that New Jersey joins these other states to give basic humanities to mother pigs and calves. This year our state needs to pass S.3401/A. 5236. It’s not too late to do the right thing. Meg Kelly Point Pleasant
Don’t Define Yourself By Your Outrage Parents’ opposition to masking children at school is such a perfect example of outrage culture because the mask does literally zero physical harm to the child and protects them
from a serious disease. And the kids don’t care. If all the kids in class have a mask on and theirs looks cool, they do not care. I’m a teacher. No kids have more than grumbled about (t he m), t he n c ompl ie d with the mask mandate. But some people just need something to be angry about. How sad that they make this outrage over nothing their whole ident it y. How sa d t hat their indignation is more impor tant to them than their children’s health. Ray Peterson Jersey Shore Resident

Smith: U.S. Should Create “Humanitarian Corridors” In Afghanistan
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) urged President Joseph Biden to create humanitarian corridors in Afghanistan. He wrote the following editorial: “The fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban has handed over an entire nation to unspeakable cruelty, violence, terrorism, and egregious abuse of women and girls. “Safe passage out of Afghanistan for thousands of Americans and our allies, including Afghan translators, their families, former U.S. employees, and others, must be immediately prioritized. “To ensure a safer, faster, and more robust evacuation from Afghanistan, I strongly urge the Biden Administration to create “humanitarian corridors” to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. “Humanitarian corridors are specific routes and logistical methods agreed upon by all relevant parties to allow the safe passage of people and/or humanitarian goods from one point to another in an area of active fighting. “Today, those who need to leave Afghanistan must first pass through a dangerous gauntlet of heavily armed Taliban. The risk of serious harm - or worse - by the Taliban has likely deterred many from even attempting to reach the airport. “All Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, including me, called on President Biden to continue evacuation flights out of Kabul until all American citizens and our Afghan partners are safely out of the country. Our call followed National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan’s refusal to make that commitment when asked three times at Tuesday’s White House briefing. “The President told ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos, ‘if there’s American citizens
left, we’re gonna stay to get them all out.’ “Meanwhile, with each passing hour, it is clear that President Biden utterly failed to anticipate or effectively respond to the Taliban’s rapid military offensive and continues to implement a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. forces without conditions. “Why wasn’t the withdrawal of U.S. troops linked to conditions on the ground? “Why didn’t the administration anticipate the tragic scenario that is unfolding right before our eyes? “What signal of America’s commitment to the people of Afghanistan did President Biden’s July withdrawal from Bagram Airfield in the middle of the night without even informing the base’s new Afghan commander send to the Afghan security forces and the Taliban? “Were the bitter lessons of the ISIS blitzkrieg that brought it to power and enabled ISIS to commit genocide against Christians and Yezidis after U.S. troops were pulled out of Iraq in 2011 not learned and considered in Afghanistan contingency planning? “We will always honor the incredible bravery and sacrifice of U.S. service members who valiantly fought in Afghanistan to mitigate terrorism to protect and preserve the innocent. They did their job exceptionally well. They are heroes. “In the coming days, humanitarian corridors with international backing, perhaps even under a UN flag - will likely enable many more people to escape the cruelty of the Taliban. “In the coming weeks, the Biden-Harris Administration must provide a full, honest, and thorough accounting - devoid of all political spin and manipulation - of what can only be described as an unmitigated disaster.”

Does Hearing Really Effect My Golf Game?
Golf Digest conducted two tests that prove hearing’s link to the golf links: Depicted below are a summary of the results: From 150 Yards In: Ten golfers with handicaps between four and 16 hit 18 balls each to a green 150 yards away with and without earmuffs. Without earmuffs, the group hit the green 67 percent of the time. With earmuffs, the group hit the green only 53 percent of the time. Judging Your Putts: Ten golfers with handicaps between two and 17 hit a variety of 48 putts with three identical putters, with and without earmuffs. Without earmuffs, golfers correctly guessed the putts’ outcome (long, short, just right) 59 percent of the time. With earmuffs, players guessed correctly only 40
percent of the time. Arnold Palmer has been an active wearer of hearing aids for many years. Golf Digest interviewed Mr. Palmer about the benefits of wearing hearing aids when golfing. Mr. Palmer said, “Your eyes are key on the golf course but I can tell you that your ears are equally important to playing good golf.” Thus, if you’re an avid golfer suffering from hearing loss, you may want to have your hearing tested to determine whether hearing aids can be beneficial to you, in particular, helping your golf game and lowering your handicap. Dr. Izzy is always available to answer serious questions regarding most hearing care issues. He can be reached at 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 Medications Inadvertently Cause Memory Problems By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Several dozen people have died while on vacation at different Caribbean islands including the Dominican Republic. While not totally conclusive for everyone, post-mortem examination suggests organophosphate (insecticide or pesticide) poisoning may have been implicated. The toxic and fatal effects occur due to an imbalance in the cholinergic pathways of the human body. When I say “cholinergic” I am referring to acetylcholine production and utilization. To be clear, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is a beneficial, memory-enhancing and life-giving compound in the body. It is a natural compound that your nerve cells use to communicate with one another. You can’t think or live without it. But like all good things, poisoning the body with substances that spike acetylcholine levels can be fatal. Let’s talk about acetylcholine some more because it is the neurotransmitter that many good medications target in the opposite way. By that I mean some drugs lower levels of acetylcholine as part of their side effect profile. They may do something helpful like ease depression, but in doing so, they have the side effect of reducing acetylcholine a little bit. Reducing acetylcholine function causes memory problems due to the anticholinergic side effect. It is that side effect that may cause you to get diagnosed with a memory disorder you don’t really have. For people with new onset memory issues, the first thing I have them do is look in their medicine cabinet! What are you taking that could be causing this?
If a drug raises acetylcholine it is termed a “cholinergic” drug. Medications that slightly increase levels are good for the brain and memory system. Drugs that seek to do this usually work by blocking an enzyme that would otherwise degrade the acetylcholine, so it hangs around longer. Pills that seek to do this are useful, and include donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine all used for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or dementia. How does the brain respond when you take an anticholinergic drug? You know these medications as drugs that lower acetylcholine as part of their side effect profile. In fact, they are blockbusters big name drugs like diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine for allergies, scopolamine patches for dizziness, oxybutynin or tolteridine for bladder problems, many older antidepressants, ipratropium inhalers for breathing, dicyclomine for IBS and others. Just as you would imagine, anticholinergic drugs can harm memory pathways. There was a JAMA study published in 2015, entitled, “Cumulative Use of Strong Anticholinergics and Incident Dementia.” They evaluated data from hundreds of participants over 10 years and essentially, they found that long term use of anticholinergic drugs is bad for the brain! If you wish you had more brain power, take a look at the medications you’re currently taking and see if you’re taking an anticholinergic drug. If you’re worried about brain function, I have a free ebook on the topic available at my website, suzycohen.com as well as a longer version of this informative article.

Vaccine Booster Shots Available To Certain Patients
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Residents with moderately to severely compromised immune systems will be welcome to receive booster shots at clinics run by the county. The doses can only be given at least 28 days after the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. The Center for Disease Control advised that there is not enough data yet to
determine whether people who got the Johnson and Johnson shot will see any improvement with an additional inoculation. They are available for people who have: • Active treatment for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies, • Receipt of a solid-organ transplant and taking immunosuppressive therapy, • Receipt of CAR-T-cell or hematopoietic
stem cell transplant (within 2 years of transplantation or taking immunosuppression therapy), • Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as Di George syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome), • Advanced or untreated HIV infection, and/or • Active treatment with high-dose corti-
costeroids (~20mgprednisoneor equivalent per day), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, tumor-necrosis (TNF) blockers, and other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory. People should talk to their healthcare provider about their medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for them, the Ocean County Health Department advised. Those who are interested in getting a booster should bring their current COVID-19 vaccination record card identifying which 2-dose vaccine was administered prior and the dates. They don’t need to prove that they have one of the above conditions. Vaccination clinics are held at Ocean County College from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Other clinics will be listed at ochd.org. This comes on the heels of news that the U.S. is rolling out a booster program to all people in September. This has been a controversial move on the world stage, as some medical professionals think there isn’t enough evidence to require more shots for the general population. The World Health Organization has criticized the U.S. because residents here will be getting their third doses when people in other nations can’t get any. Numbers of positive tests have increased across the country, particularly in states with low vaccination rates and low mask usage, statistics show. In Ocean County, there is an increase in daily positive tests, however it is not on the scale that it is in other locations. Because of this, the OCC drive-thru testing site will be open every Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. To register for this test, visit ochd.org. Only the PCR test is available at this time at this location. For COVID-19 and vaccine questions, call 732-380-5079.
Correction In the August 21 story “Teens Welcome To Become Civil Air Patrol Cadets,” the amount of time required was incorrectly reported. It is 2.5 hours per week, not 1. 5 hours. We regret the error.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits! By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation car rier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization.

Christopher R. Shea Esq.
Further, it is important to note another cr itical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Cou r t in K inley Physical Therapy Ser vices, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not per mitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. (732) 505-1212.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE One-Man Golf Marathon To Raise Funds For Vets
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Why play 18 holes when you can play 200? That’s just what Ed Walls is setting out to do. He will be the sole participant in a oneday, 200-hole golf marathon on September 5, Patriot Golf Day. It will take place at the Renaissance Country Club, where Walls is the head golf professional. This will be the tenth year he has taken on this challenge, raising more than 75,000 to date for the Folds of Honor foundation, which provides educational scholarships for military families. In 2020, he won the Patriot Award from the NJPGA for his efforts and dedication
to the Folds of Honor charity. For 2021, he set his goal to break $25,000 in donations. This means he will play the equivalent of 11 rounds of golf, plus 2 additional holes. To encourage additional pledges and scorebased donations, he will play the final 18 holes using only a 7 iron. “Having put two children through college, I understand the cost and difficulty for some to achieve their dreams. I am very humbled to be able to be a small contributor to their continued educational endeavors…educate their legacy is a perfect tagline,” he said. For more information and to donate call 908-230-1611.

... ask Michelle Welcome to our Q & A Column. We will be here every month to answer your dementia related questions. Please send your questions to Questions@care-one. com. Harmony Village at CareOne Jackson is here to assist you in your journey. Q: If a person living with dementia hallucinates, should the caregiver or family go along with it, or should they tell them the truth; that the hallucination does not exist? Gina G. A: Dear Gina G., Pick and choose your battles. Redirect and reassure them that they are safe, especially if it is a disturbing hallucination. Bring them to another room/location. Enter their world, do not orient them to reality. Tell them they are safe, and that you have handled the situation. Try to distract or redirect them to another activity or task. It is important to meet them where they are, and to make them feel safe. Q: If a family member passes, should you tell the person living with dementia, or do you spare them the upset? Lisa K. A: Dear Lisa K., It depends on how involved the deceased was in their life, frequency of contact, and it also depends on what stage of dementia the person is in. Even if you tell them, will they remember? If they don’t remember, each time that you remind them, it’s like hearing it for the first time and grieving starts all over again. Its best to avoid that kind of news and to not reorient to that news.
