Jeff ’s Camp, Just Believe Part Ways
By Stephanie Faughnan BA R N EGAT - A Barnegat veteran still plans to offer transitional housing for homeless veterans on his Route 72 property. However, the organization Just Believe, Inc. will no longer be involved in the project. Martin Weber, the property owner, formally announced his
intentions to donate land for “Jeff ’s Camp” in May of this year. His initial plan was to set up tiny homes on his property to give homeless veterans a roof over their heads. The proposed project is named in memory of the late Jeff Poissant, who Weber says was the love of his life. When someone introduced Weber to Paul
Hulse, CEO of Just Believe, Inc, Weber thought he found the help he needed to make his dreams a reality. After all, Hulse’s organization helps at-risk individuals and he had the necessary experience. In an interview in June, Hulse said the Pinelands Commission would not allow tiny houses on the prop-
er ty. However, they would permit a seven-bedroom veterans sober living house on Weber’s back property. The front would meet qualif ications for a commercial building, which would ultimately house an outpatient addiction center and Just Believe thrift store. The addiction center would not limit services to veterans.
A few weeks ago, Weber came home to find surveyors on his land. He asked them to leave and called Hulse to remind him of his involvement in the project. “We were supposed to be equal on everything that happened here,” Weber explained. “I didn’t want anyone on the property without (Camp - See Page 4)

Did Ocean County’s GOP Carry Ciattarelli To The Top? By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Jack Ciattarelli is more popular in Ocean County than any other candidate for governor in at least 30 years. The former State Assemblyman was neck and neck with Governor Phil Murphy a day after polls closed. In a race where most people figured the Democrat had an easy race, the results showed that it was anything but assured. It’s safe to say that Ocean County’s strong Republican base is what made this race competitive. In Ocean County, Ciattarelli received 141,482 votes to Murphy’s 65,176. These figures were unofficial, since the county clerk has to certify them at a later date. But they won’t change too much from this amount. When the Associated Press called the race, there were less than 20,000 votes between the two candidates. Consider, then, how much of a difference Ocean County made. If he had only received 100,000 votes here, like in the last contest for governor, then the race would have been called long ago. In fact, Ocean County accounted for approximately 11% of Ciattarelli’s total vote as of press time. Ciattarelli’s vote total is at least 15,000 higher than Chris Christie’s best outing, and the last Republican governor was very popular in this GOP stronghold. In fact, Christie was fond of saying that it was Ocean County’s powerful turnout for him that made him governor. Jersey Shore Online went back three decades, looking at the vote tallies for governor races, and learned that Ciattarelli did better this year than any candidate in any governor’s race for at least 30 years. All of these historical figures are from gubernatorial election years, and the Republican candidate is listed fi rst. By way of comparison, in 2017, Kim Guadagno received 98,135 votes in 2017 to (GOP - See Page 5)

you look on an old map, you might find islands smaller than the average property lot – but they have names. The name Jeffrey’s Creek shows up on Google Maps, in fact. Often, the historical society is the place to look deeper. Jeffrey’s farm house was near that creek, said Irene Merlin, curator with the Ocean Gate Historical Society.
“The first school was held in his farmhouse, probably back when it was still Berkeley Township,” she said. The local students were mostly children of farmers, she said. They probably felt right at home learning their reading, writing, and arithmetic there. Ocean Gate was incor porated as a borough in 1918, so this is going back a
bit. It was one of several towns that were once Berkeley Township. The one-room school house on West Arverne Avenue was built in 1914, so the far mhouse predated even that. As a side note, that one-room schoolhouse is likely the only one in New Jersey still used in education. It currently houses the district’s kindergarteners.

Shea wrote to “Friends of Just Believe” to advise them of the decision and request donors’ permission to reallocate donations to other Just Believe projects benef iting at-risk individuals. Sponsors can also elect to have donations ear marked for Jeff ’s Camp retur ned to them. “I can’t get into the specifics of the
f u nd raisi ng on t he proper t y. Jef f ’s Camp was not an LLC,” said Shea. “There were sufficient reasons to terminate the agreement. It’s not going to benefit anyone to get into a ‘he said, she said’ situation.” As far as the irreconcilable differences, Shea suggested speaking to Hulse. However, Hulse referred all requests for comment to his attorney.
Meanwhile, Weber is not giving up on his plans to help veterans. Jeff’s Camp now has a Board of Trustees and the goal is to move forward on Weber’s original quest to provide transitional homes for those who served the country. Weber met Congressman Andy Kim when he competed for his seat in 2020. The two established a relationship and Weber said Kim continues to support the Jeff’ Camp project.
Thanksgiving Day Feast Returns November 25 of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on Grant Avenue in Seaside Heights from 2 to 3 p.m. “This is an opportunity for those who regularly come to our soup kitchen, as well as anyone else who would like to join us, to enjoy the food and traditions that are so much a part of the Thanksgiving holiday,” Sr. Executive Director of Simon’s Soup Kitchen John Salemi said. The feast this year will be served by a smaller group of volunteers due to social
distancing requirements. Those picking up food are asked to wear a mask and follow social distancing requirements. “For many who can’t afford to prepare a meal of their own, this is an opportunity to receive a traditional Thanksgiving dinner,” Salemi said. “Each year, those who join us express their gratitude for such a hearty feast prepared by our volunteers. For each of us, it is a reminder of the many things for which we can be thankful for especially this year as 2021 has been so
hard on so many.” The annual Thanksgiving dinner distribution will be in addition to the normal ser ving schedule of operating ever y Tuesday and Friday evening beginning at 5 p.m. from October through April at the Parish Center of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. Everyone in need of a hot meal is welcome. For more information on Simon’s Soup Kitchen visit simonssoupkitchen.org or call 732-270-5941.

GOP:
Continued From Page 1 Murphy’s 56,582. In 2013, Chris Christie received 125,781 votes to Barbara Buono’s 37,930. In 2009, Chris Christie received 124,238 votes to Jon Corzine’s 53,761. In 2005, Doug Forrester received 93,693 votes to Jon Corzine’s 71,953. In 2001, Bret Schundler received 77,726 votes to James McGreevey’s 84,538. In 1997, Christine Todd Whitman received 84,140 votes to James McGreevey’s 57,354. In 1993, Christine Todd Whitman received 87,943 votes to Jim Florio’s 78,132. In 1989, Jim Courter received 62,700 votes to Jim Florio’s 83,587. Jersey Shore Online stopped there, but the figures would have probably continued to trend down. The population in the county in the 1980s was much lower than it is now. Perhaps Ciattarelli received the highest number of votes in Ocean County’s entire history, at least in governor races. Of course, this is just raw data. It doesn’t include the issues that were happening during these years that might make people run to the polls more. For example, a hotly contested local election will bring more people out to vote for a town issue, and while they are there, they vote for other spots on the ballot as well. That may have been the case this year. For example, Toms River had four council seats, two board of education seats and
The Berkeley Times, November 13, 2021, Page 5 an open space referendum on the ballot. This, combined with a nasty election cycle, brought people to the polls in droves. Brick and Manchester also had mayoral elections this year, and there were serious school board contests in towns like Jackson and Barnegat. Lacey had a question about marijuana businesses in town. Jackson, Lacey and Barnegat have high percentages of Republicans, and the mayoral competition in Manchester was between two Republicans. While local races take a “micro” look at these numbers, we shouldn’t ignore the “macro.” Every election – especially since 2016 - has been about more than just the people on the ballot. Residents cast their votes based on what they think the country should be doing, even if the local politicians have no say in the great scheme of things. For example, the New Jersey governor might not have a lot of power when it comes to the U.S. immigration policy, but the messages put out by Republicans and Democrats trickle down to each place below them. A Republican upset with Joe Biden will likely go to the polls to vote against the Democrat governor, for example. Additionally, midterm elections are usually won by whoever is not in power. After Donald Trump won in 2016, Democrats made strides in the 2018 election. Biden won in 2020, so pundits are already predicting that the pendulum will swing to the right in 2022’s midterms. Perhaps Ciattarelli’s strong vote totals show that people weren’t going to wait until 2022.

Schools To Collect Vaccination Data
By Chris Lundy TRENTON – School districts will report vaccination data of staff and students to the State Department of Health in order to increase rates of vaccinated children. The move comes per an executive directive from Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. The Department will collect the information and analyze it for trends, said Donna Leusner, Director of Communications for the NJ Department of Health. When the data is complete, the DOH will share it on their website. Names and other identifiers will not be disseminated. The Department of Health continues to state that a combination of vaccination for those who are eligible, testing, masking, physical distance, handwashing, and staying home when sick are the best strategies for keeping schools safe. For a few months, the Pfi zer vaccine has been approved for use on children 12 and older, and health officials are urging them to take advantage of it. The state has been reaching out to local leaders to set up vaccination clinics in large spaces. Leusner noted that Ocean County has had clinics at schools (Toms River High School North and Southern Regional Middle School in Stafford) and also at venues like Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson.
Vaccination clinics at schools are optional for districts, she said. “The Department of Health will work closely with participating school districts to identify vaccine providers equipped to administer doses in the school setting,” she said. Persichilli said at a recent governor’s press conference on the coronavirus that about 57 percent of children ages 12-15 have received at least one dose. However, for 16- and 17-year-olds, 70 percent have received at least one dose. That’s where the outreach comes in, Leusner said. By learning what communities have lower vaccination rates, the state can direct support to those areas to try to get those numbers higher. The support would take the form of enrolling family physicians or pediatricians as vaccine providers and working with schools to host clinics. Resources would also be directed toward educating the population about the importance of getting vaccinated. “We’re working diligently with these schools and local officials in every municipality to identify those individuals and try to encourage them and their parents to line up and get a shot in the arm. Overall, I’m pleased where we’re going with kids, but ... I wish the younger kids had higher levels of vaccination,” Persichilli said.

Congressman Kim Holds Town Hall To Commemorate Superstorm Sandy’s 9th Anniversary
TOMS RIVER - Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) held his monthly town hall where he discussed how Superstorm Sandy is continuing to affect neighbors in Ocean and Burlington Counties. “After nine years, my neighbors are still recovering from the lingering, devastating effects of Superstorm Sandy,” said Congressman Kim. “Yesterday I heard stories from people who need help and my office
is ready and eager to work hard on behalf of our community. I will keep working with townships and municipalities to make sure we are ready for the next storm, and advocating in Washington so that every single homeowner in my district receives the clawback relief they deserve.” During the town hall, Congressman Kim discussed his Security After Sandy Act and how he secured $25.9 million in outstanding
Community Disaster Loan (CDL) forgiveness for New Jersey, $12 million of which forgave disaster loans taken out by towns and school districts in Ocean County. Congressman Kim was joined by Amanda Devecka-Rinear, the Director of the New Jersey Organizing Project (NJOP), who discussed how their organization supports families who are still actively recovering from Superstorm Sandy and what resourc-
es are available to homeowners who are struggling. Questions raised by people in both Burlington and Ocean County during the town hall included topics related to flood insurance, how Congressman Kim is working to pass clawback forgiveness for homeowners, substantial damage policies, and the work the Congressman is doing in Washington to lower the cost of prescription drugs.
White House: Details On The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal
WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Biden promised to work across the aisle and unify the country to deliver results for working families. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is a critical step towards reaching President Biden’s goal of a net-zero emissions economy by 2050, and is paired with the Build Back Better Framework to realize his full vision to grow our economy, lower consumer costs, create jobs, reduce climate pollution, and ensure more Americans can participate fully and equally in our economy. Public Transit The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal makes the largest investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak – helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions by repairing, upgrading, and modernizing the nation’s transit infrastructure. The deal will invest $66 billion to provide healthy, sustainable transportation options for millions of Americans by modernizing and expanding transit and rail networks across the country. It will replace thousands of transit vehicles, including buses, with clean, zero emission vehicles. And, it will benefit communities of color who are twice as likely to take public transportation and often lack sufficient public transit options. In addition, it will help transit workers who are disproportionally workers of color. Clean School Buses The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will deliver thousands of electric school buses nationwide, including in rural communities, to help school districts across the country buy clean, American-made, zero emission buses and replace the yellow school bus fleet for America’s children. The deal invests in zero- and low-emission school buses, in addition to more than $5 billion in funding for public transit agencies to adopt low- and no-emissions buses. These investments will drive demand for American-made batteries and vehicles, creating jobs and supporting domestic manufacturing, while also removing diesel buses from some of our most vulnerable communities. In addition, they will help the more than 25 million
children and thousands of bus drivers who breathe polluted air on their rides to and from school. Diesel air pollution is linked to asthma and other health problems that hurt our communities and cause students to miss school, particularly in communities of color and Tribal communities.
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will invest $7.5 billion to build out the first-ever national network of EV chargers in the United States. The deal is also a critical element in the Biden-Harris Administration’s plan to accelerate the adoption of EVs to address the climate crisis and support domestic manufacturing jobs. The deal will provide funding for deployment of EV chargers along highway corridors to facilitate long-distance travel and within communities to provide convenient charging where people live, work, and shop – and funding will have a particular focus on rural, disadvantaged, and hard-to-reach communities. Modern Infrastructure The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal invests $17 billion in port infrastructure and $25 billion in airports to address repair and maintenance backlogs, reduce congestion and emissions near ports and airports, and drive electrification and other low-carbon technologies. Modern, resilient, and sustainable port, airport, and freight infrastructure will support U.S. competitiveness by removing bottlenecks and expediting commerce and reduce the environmental impact on neighboring communities. Resilience The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is the largest investment in the resilience of physical and natural systems in American history. Millions of Americans feel the effects of climate change each year when their roads wash out, airport power goes down, or schools get flooded. People of color are more likely to live in areas most vulnerable to flooding and other climate change-related weather events. The deal makes our communities safer and our infrastructure more resilient to the impacts of climate
change and cyber-attacks, with an investment of over $50 billion to protect against droughts, heat, and floods – in addition to a major investment in the weatherization of American homes.
Clean Drinking Water The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will expand access to clean drinking water to all American families, eliminate the nation’s lead service lines and help to clean up the dangerous chemical PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl). Currently, up to 10 million American households and 400,000 schools and child care centers lack access to safe drinking water. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will invest $55 billion to expand access to clean drinking water for households, businesses, schools, and child care centers all across the country. From rural towns to struggling cities, the deal will invest in water infrastructure and eliminate lead service pipes, including in Tribal Na-
tions and disadvantaged communities that need it most. Clean Energy Transmission The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal’s more than $65 billion investment is the largest investment in clean energy transmission and the electric grid in American history. It upgrades our power infrastructure, including by building thousands of miles of new, resilient transmission lines to facilitate the expansion of renewable energy. It creates a new Grid Deployment Authority, invests in research and development for advanced transmission and electricity distribution technologies, and promotes smar t grid technologies that deliver f lexibility and resilience. It also invests in demonstration projects and research hubs for next generation technologies like advanced nuclear reactors, carbon capture, and clean hydrogen.
SHINGLES AND THE EYES
Shingles is a condition caused by the same virus that once brought on chicken pox. It can lie dormant in the body for decades, and when triggered (usually by severe stress or a compromised immune system) can result in a painful rash on the torso. In some cases, the rash can also appear on the face and ultimately affect the eyes. The signature rash or blisters will appear on one side of the face, causing the eye on that side to become pink and swollen. The condition can be very painful, and vision may become blurred. Aggressive antiviral medication can help when administered early, and regular visits to the ophthalmologist should continue until the condition has resolved. Treating shingles in the eye right away can help you avoid long-term problems, including permanent vision loss. Your vision is our top priority, and our state-of-theart facilities offer the best technology available for all your eye care needs. Please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES (732-349-5622) today to schedule an appointment. We offer our patients relief from a wide range of eye conditions. Evening hours are available most nights of the week.

Ocean County To Offer COVID-19 Vaccine For Ages 5 To 11 By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) announced that they will be offering the COVID-19 vaccine for Ocean County residents ages 5 to 11 years old. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that children as young as 5 get the shot. The CDC states that kids in this age group will be able to get Pfizer’s low-dose COVID vaccine – which was recently authorized by the Food and Drug Administration – as a 2-dose series taken three weeks apart. “The COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective. Before being authorized for children, scientists and medical experts completed their review of

safety and effectiveness data from clinical trials of thousands of children. The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was rigorously tested and reviewed, and more than 11 million adolescents ages 1217 have already safely received the COVID-19 vaccine,” the OCHD states. The OCHD said that the vaccination is the best way to protect children ages 5 and older
from coronavirus. According to the OCHD, COVID-19 has become one of the top 10 causes of pediatric death and tens of thousands of children and teens have been hospitalized with COVID-19. Although children are at lower risk than adults of becoming severely ill or hospitalized from COVID-19, it is still possible.
The OCHD will be finalizing plans to offer the vaccine and will provide more information in the coming days. Visit ochd.org for local information.

5 Reasons To Visit Us This Winter
As the year winds down and we begin to look forward to the festivities and social reconnections that accompany the colder months, it’s time to consider paying us a visit! Here are five excellent reasons to make an appointment with your hearing specialist this winter season. 1 Ear Inspection: Cold weather can harden earwax, causing discomfort and muffled hearing. Otoscopic examination will reveal whether you need removal of wax (cerumen) or not. If so, we would refer you to an ENT and/or your primary care doctor so they can take of the issue. 2 Tinnitus That ringing, humming, or buzzing in your ear that no one else seems to hear isn’t all in your head — it may be tinnitus, which can be associated with hearing loss or another underlying health issue. We can help get to the bottom of why it’s happening and reduce its impact on your life. Studies have also shown that tinnitus can be more prominent during weather changes, so don’t hesitate to investigate. 3 Warranty Expiration Depending on when you purchased your hearing aids, your warranty may be expiring soon. We can help maximize and protect your investment by cleaning, checking, and performing selected repairs while the devices remain under warranty. 4 New Tech Once your devices are more
than four years old, we recommend checking whether they’re still meeting your needs. From Bluetooth to telehealth compatibility, we can offer the perfect option to customize your hearing experience and filter out the annoying background noise that comes with busy shopping centers and family gatherings. If you’re due for an upgrade, we can fit you with the latest model to keep you hearing everything you want and nothing you don’t. 5 Hearing Aid Tune-Ups & Extra Batteries Winter is a tough season for your hearing aids. Low temperatures affect the functionality of nearly all personal electronics and drain batteries quickly. Changes in temperature can create condensation, which can cause problems. Bring your aids in for a tune-up and inspection. We can ensure they are in great shape, as well as send you home with a dehumidifier to store them in and extra batteries. If you’re wearing rechargeable battery hearing aids, let us check the “health” of the battery before your warranty expires. Has it been a while since we last saw you? We miss you! Make the most of your winter festivities by scheduling an appointment with our caring team today. Call today to schedule your appointment. We can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/ Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit our website at www.gardenstatehearing. com

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Are You Getting A Great Deal, Or A Great Deal Of Junk? By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Today’s article is about vitamins. I’m a big believer in nutrients, if they appropriately target a health concern, or a metabolic pathway. If you can get 500 pills for $9.99, how good do you suppose those are after you add in the cost for the label, the bottle and cap, the neck seal, the desiccant and the cause for sourcing each ingredient? Do you assume the manufacturer is doing due diligence and testing the purity of their formula at a reputable FDA-inspected laboratory… and if so, is the price worked into the formula you just bought for less than 10 bucks? Testing costs in the thousands, and it’s often factored into the formula’s final price. Then there’s freight. There’s so much, so again, let me ask you: If you can get 500 pills for $9.99, do you think they’re any good? You don’t have to be a mathematical genius, to know there’s virtually pennies left to invest in the actual ingredients if the whole bottle is 10 dollars! I get especially irked when I see companies preying on people, especially the elderly. With reduced kidney and liver function after age 70 for example, all those unnecessary ingredients, fillers, lubricants and colorants add to the physical burden. Let’s take magnesium or vegetable stearate for example. Most vitamins contain this ingredient. A “stearate” is a lubricant added to machinery to make the machines pump out the pills faster, and more efficient, without messing up the gears on the equipment. It is not absolutely necessary and in my humble
opinion, it kind of ‘bubble wraps’ a formula. Some scientists say it breaks down in your stomach acid, whereas other scientists feel that stearates interfere with prevents proper breakdown and absorption of nutrients. I don’t think you need a bazillion probiotics in your formula! These little bacteria are pitched to you as “friendly” but how friendly are they if your own body spots them and sees them as a pathogen? Use of a formula that isn’t right for you may cause an autoimmune illness. I don’t want you to be intimidated by fancy labels, or celebrities pitching you stuff. I want you to think it through, and realize that what I’m saying makes sense. There’s some truth to the adage, “vitamins make expensive urine” but that’s only if you buy cheap stuff that doesn’t even work. What about bug-derived ingredients? Yes, for sure, some red pills contain carmine, a beautiful and natural red colorant. Carmine comes from crushed up beetle juice basically! When you see a study that trashes a vitamin or suggests it impacts your lifespan in a negative way, please think. There have been several in the past years. One reason is because the researchers are studying the impact of inactive precursor chemicals, not on real nutrients that your body recognizes. If they were to test their subjects with bodyready, bio-identical nutrients, the results would likely be more promising! If you’d like to read the longer version of this article, I can email it to you after you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

“Local Color: The Art Of Clara Sue Beym”
BAYVILLE – Local artist, Clara Sue Beym, will be exhibiting her paintings as part of a series of Pine Shores Art Association artists at Ocean County Library System in Berkeley Township. The exhibit will be for the month of December 2021. Versatile in the range of subjects portrayed, composition style and dynamic use of color, Clara Sue has a wide range of work. Her exhibit will
include over 24 works of art highlighting her interpretations of the surrounding wetlands and marsh, figurative and wildlife art as well as landscapes and historical buildings. The public is invited to visit to view the exhibition at the library beginning December 1. Most of the paintings will be for sale. Contact the artist for information. An Artist Reception will be held Saturday, December 4, 2021, 1 to
4 pm at the Ocean County Library–Berkeley branch at 30 Station Rd., Bayville. For further information, you may call the library at 732-269-2144. Note that masks are required inside the library. Hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. .to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, closed Sundays and holidays. When asked about her solo exhibit, Clara
Sue stated, “As a passionate painter of the beauty around me, I am inclined to share a glimpse of my surroundings with the community. I have been working toward this opportunity for a long time.” Clara Sue studied advertising design and fine art at Mercer County Community College in the 1970s. Painting since high school, she was influenced by the impressionist artists, and her grandfather who was a painter. Clara Sue Beym recently retired from 25 years as an award-winning graphic designer for Educational Testing Service in Princeton. Clara Sue paints and exhibits in group venues in the Princeton areas of New Jersey, online, and especially at the Jersey shore. She is a board member and Signature Artist of the Garden State Watercolor Society, where she maintains their website and works on their online exhibits. As an exhibiting member of Pine Shores Art Association of Manahawkin, she recently designed the book, Guide to the Jersey Shore, as a volunteer project. Clara is a member of the Toms River Arts Community (TRAC) where she volunteers in the gallery weekly. She is also a member of West Windsor Arts Center in Princeton Junction, Ocean County Artists Guild in Island Heights, and New Jersey Watercolor Society. Her website, clarasuebeym.wixsite.com/ beymart/fine-art-portfolio showcases a sampling of her work. Clara’s paintings are in the permanent collection of the Berkeley Township Historical Society, Mercer County Cultural Affairs and the Hamilton Township Historical Society. Clara frequently donates her work to area fundraisers and nonprofit organizations. She is available for commissions. Clara previously lived in Mercer County, where she and her husband of 42 years raised their two children. The couple are now in their Bayville home (completely rebuilt after Hurricane Sandy). Clara Sue lives in full view of the marshlands and the Barnegat Bay. The pine forests, the Toms River, the ocean and bay beaches, nearby parks and Cedar Creek provide Clara Sue much inspiration for her natural landscapes. You can often find her walking at sunrise in Berkeley, on the rail trail, and painting en plein air in her community park or at Ocean Gate beach. If you see her, stop to say hello and “What are you working on today?” NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Handling Holiday Gift Shortages
Dear Joel, I’m working on my grandkids Christmas lists and I’m concerned about the stores not having enough items. Any suggestions? Answer: It is getting harder to find items in stores and online. Why not make this the year you and your grandkids work on a project together? Maybe you could both each grow a fast-growing amaryllis and share pictures with each other. You could also try taking a class together like ceramics or
painting. You could also try scheduling an adventure day together to learn about some local landmarks. You’ll build memories that will last a long time. Thanks for writing, Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore United Way Holds Warmest Wishes Coat Drive
WALL TOWNSHIP – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties (UWMOC) has kicked off its annual Warmest Wishes Coat Drive for local preschool, elementary and middle school children in need. UWMOC is collecting new winter coats in toddler sizes 3T-5T and children’s sizes small – extra-large to be distributed to over 30 local schools throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties. The collection will run through Giving Tuesday on November 30. As more families are experiencing fi nancial difficulty during the ongoing pandemic, the need for basic essentials such as coats continues to increase. “Families were already struggling to pay utility bills and stay warm, and the COVID-19 pandemic has created extra stressors in life,” said Kari Schmidt, Guidance Counselor for the Freehold Learning Center. “All of these factors combined makes the need for coats greater than ever. United Way’s Warmest Wishes Coat Drive supports our students and families during the cold winter months while making a real difference in the lives of others.”
With the mask mandate still in effect for all students in preschool through 12th grade, school administrators have also expressed the importance of warm coats for recess and outdoor learning activities that allow students to have mask breaks throughout the day in the winter. The Warmest Wishes Coat Drive works in conjunction with United Way’s Community Impact initiatives in education, fi nancial stability and health - the building blocks for a good life. Since beginning the annual drive in 2012, UWMOC has distributed over 10,000 coats to local children in need. There are a variety of ways to participate in the Warmest Wishes Coat Drive. Coats can be purchased online and shipped directly to United Way, or arrangements can be made for donations to be dropped off to United Way’s office located at 4814 Outlook Drive, Suite 107 in Wall Township, NJ 07753. Donations in any amount can be made on the organization’s website for UWMOC staff to purchase coats. For more information about the Warmest Wishes Coat Drive, visit uwmoc.org/ WarmestWishes.

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