Berry Fresh Farms To Be Replaced By Self-Storage
By Alyssa Riccardi BRICK – A wellknown market and garden center in the township is set to be replaced by a three-story, self-storage facility, after the Brick Planning Board approved the project. At the June 8 Planning board meeting, board members gave a u nanimous vote granting CE Development Management of Columbia, South Carolina, approval to redevelop the fiveacre property. The seasonal market offers their annual “Scary Rotten Farms” Halloween attraction in the fall. The tradition has been frightening residents for over a decade and became a well-known attraction in the area.
Af ter the board members approved the application, two residents who live near the proper t y asked the board for more information on the project and no objectors were present. The site of the new self-storage facility will have access only from Brick Boulevard with no “cutthroughs” that allow drivers to go through local streets, project engineer James Thaon said. One driveway will be built in the back of the building for emergency access, however that will not be open for the public to go through. The driveway will be 20 feet wide. Thaon said that the property will have (Berry - See Page 4)

ery license, a licensed winery tasting room or an instructional winemaking facility, which would be permitted to operate in the village zone, the B-2 General Business Zone, the B-3 Highway Development Zone and the M-1 Light Industrial Zone in the township. Councilman Art Halloran explained that
the township’s current brewery license does not include approval for the areas mentioned above even though they tend to go hand-in-hand with brewery applications. “Distilleries, craft cidery and meadery are not precluded,” he said. “But it is not specifically stated as allowable.” (Mead is a type of hon-
ey wine). The township’s Land Use Committee has presented this ordinance to allow those uses within the same zones where breweries are allowed, Halloran said.

equipment on site to handle any spills or rainwater runoff. He explained that a trench stream would pick up oil and other substance and will run through an oil-fuel separating filter. According to the company’s representatives, the storage facility will take around 12 months to build. Thaon said vegetation will be added along the property line, planting low-growing shrubs. Planner Christine Cofone, who represented CE Development Management, explained how the facility is less intensive for the site compared to what could have been built in such a high-traffic
area. Cofone continued, stating that neighbors will see less cars going in and out of the storage facility compared to farm market, with the building benefiting the area by drawing less traffic on Brick Boulevard. “I think it will be quieter than it is today,” Cofone said. “You’re allowed to have things like restaurants, bars, drinking establishments like breweries and distilleries, you could have a school here. So, there are a lot of things that could be more intense. Neighbors are always concerned about change, and we as a project team were very aware of that. We tried to bring it as far away from the neighbors as possible.”

By Jason Allentoff LAKEWOOD – No one was injured when a small blaze broke out at ShoreTown Ballpark on July 4th during the Jersey Shore BlueClaws fireworks display. Director of Communications Greg Giombarrese told Jersey Shore Online that part of the shrubs behind the centerfield wall caught fire. Giombarrese said “the Lakewood Fire Department and Ocean County Fire Marshal were on site during the event which is standard procedure during all fireworks display nights at the stadium.” Giombarrese added that firefighters acted quickly and extinguished the fire in a safe
manner. No fans were in the vicinity at the time of the blaze and the fire broke out in an area that is cleared by the staff after the seventh inning of every fireworks game. Giombarrese also said that they thank the Lakewood Fire Department and the Ocean County Fire Marshal for continuing to help make the BlueClaws experience a safe night out for friends and family. Despite the flames and smoke, the fireworks display show continued to the delight of fans in the seats. The Jersey Shore BlueClaws Independence Day Celebration is one of the busiest events for the team during each season.

Garden:
Continued From Page 1 interest f rom residents i n tow n who didn’t have a prime gardening area in either their yard or they lived in a condo or apartment or a senior community. Maybe they had too much shade or too much sun, not enough area to grow what they want, so he star ted this idea in the parks depar t ment,” Tow nship Plan ner Tara Paxon said. “They built 15 planting boxes at the Haven’s Homestead site. When Fowler reti red i n 2018, I’ve been car r yi ng on the project. The parks department helps us out by tur ning on the water and getting ever ything ready with his staff ever y year.” Back in April, the township had a clean-up day and cleaned the entire ga rde n sit e. D u r i ng t h at t i me, t he township decided the garden needed to be revamped. “I thought many people weren’t gardening there due to COVID. But one of our regulars came in and said the garden had been dying off. He told me that he thought there was a fungus in the soil. The plants were not yielding what they should,” Paxton said “So, we decided to start fresh. We cleared it out and put new boxes and soil. We had a Boy Scout troop who wanted to do an Eagle Scout project and they built two Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility garden beds because
The Brick Times, July 9, 2022, Page 5 they needed to be higher. So now we have 17 beds to rent.” In addition to the new garden plots, the Township announced that they will be constructing a Pollinator Garden to promote more pollination in the area. “Vin Palmier from the environmental commission wrote a grant to the New Jersey Association of Environmental Commissions to get funding to start a pollinator garden. Recently we were awarded the funding for $2,000. A local Eagle Scout is going to build an additional three pollinator beds behind the community garden,” Paxton said. The Township will be working with the Master Gardeners of Ocean Count y, t he Br ick Ga rden Club a nd t he Environmental Commission to come up with planting plans to fill the beds. The beds will be f illed with specif ic plants to encourage all the pollinating species to pollinate the area. “We’ll be working with these groups this summer to make planting plans and we’ll most likely have a planting day,” Paxton said. The Michael P. Fowler Community Garden located at 515 Herber tsville Road at the Haven’s Homestead Park Facility. Each plot is available to rent for this planting season for a $20 reservation fee. Water is available in the garden. If you’re interested in renting a plot, you can contact the Division of Land Use & Planning at 732-262-1041 for information or email cmoore@twp. brick.nj.us.

Council Vice President Lisa Crate said the ordinance was being proposed at the request of the Ocean County engineer. “ T he Ocea n Cou nt y Eng i neer i ng Department conducted a review of the referenced intersection and approach roadways as a result of this request,” she said. “As a result of their investigation they recommend restricting left-hand turns out of both entrances to the Lions Head Office Park as that will improve the overall safety for motorists,” Crate said. In other news, the governing body awarded contracts to upfit new police patrol vehicles and to purchase Panasonic ToughBooks for the department. Councilwoman Andrea Zapcic said $93,270 had been awarded to General Sales Administration and $23,616 to Motorola Solutions for the upfit of six new police patrol vehicles. Both vendors are on the approved New Jersey contract vendors list as approved by the NJ Cooperative Purchasing Program.

Bergin also welcomed Debbie Murphy as the new Council Secretary. One by one, the council members, township attorney Kevin Starkey and Township Clerk Lynnette Iannarone thanked Hartman and wished her well. “I want to commend Jen on her 27 years of service,” Iannarone said. “I’ve been fortunate to work 26 years with Jen…I’m going to miss her greatly, and not just for the job that she does but for everything that she does.” The next council meeting will be on Tuesday, July 12 at 7 p.m.

Offshore Oil Leases Won’t Lower Gas Prices Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) led a group of Senate colleagues in urging U.S. Interior Secretary Deborah Haaland to protect coastal communities across the nation by including no new leasing across all planning areas in any proposed or final five-year outer continental shelf (OCS) oil and gas leasing program currently under development by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) within the Department of the Interior (DOI). In addition to the catastrophic disasters of oil spills, offshore drilling operations pollute water, land and air. This puts millions of jobs, families, and communities who depend on the cleanliness of coastal waters at risk, which could further create uncertainty in our economic recovery. In the letter to Secretary Haaland, the senators also highlighted how expanding offshore drilling would not only fail to alleviate the strain on current gas prices, but also make it more difficult to address the worsening climate crisis. Joining Sen. Menendez in signing the letter were Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), D i a n n e Fe i n s t e i n ( D - C a l i f.), Ja ck
Reed (D-R.I.), Ron Wyden ( D - O r e.), Pat t y Mu r r ay ( D -Wa s h .) , E d M a r k e y ( D -Mass.), Cor y Booker (D-N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.). The full text of the letter can be found below: “Dear Secretary Haaland: “We write to you today regarding the recent announcement that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) within the Department of the Interior (DOI) is developing a new five-year outer continental shelf (OCS) oil and gas leasing program, with a proposed program expected by June 30, 2022. We u rge you to protect ou r coastal communities, economies, ecosystems, and climate by including no new leasing across all planning areas in any proposed or final five-year OCS oil and gas leasing program. “As Senators representing coastal states, we know that offshore drilling is inherently a risk-reward proposition, with our coastal communities shouldering the risk and oil companies reaping the rewards. History shows us that it is not a question of if an oil spill occurs, but when. Coastal economies that rely on our pristine waters support 3.3 million jobs and $257 billion in GDP, and offshore drilling puts these jobs and the families and communities who depend on them at risk. “We recognize that families across the country are struggling as Russia’s
unjust and brutal war in Ukraine has led to increased gasoline prices and rising inf lation. As the U.S. and our partners around the world appropriately work to limit Russia’s ability to bring oil to market in order to finances its aggression, we need to do everything we can to minimize impacts here at home. Yet, oil companies are taking advantage of the crisis to rake in record profits while gouging consumers at the pump. To help alleviate costs, Democrats support and have offered numerous proposals to directly help American families afford gasoline and food. Increasing offshore leases will do nothing to lower current gas prices, as the average offshore lease takes about five years to develop. One recent analysis found that a five year plan that included no new leasing would have no impact on domestic oil production through 2027 and only negligible impacts through 2035, and similarly that such a scenario would have no impact on oil and gasoline prices through 2030 and only negligible impacts through 2035. Additionally, a report issued in November 2021 by the Department of the Interior under your leadership found that 55 percent of existing offshore leases were not currently producing, “indicating a sufficient inventory of leased acreage to sustain development for years to come.” “In addition to failing to alleviate the strain on current gas prices, new offshore oil and gas leasing will make it more difficult to meet our climate goals and worsen the climate crisis. A recent
study found that protecting our coasts from new fossil fuel development would avoid over 19 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, roughly equivalent to taking every car in the nation off the road for 15 years, and prevent over $730 billion in damages to people, property, and the environment. If we are to meet the Paris climate agreement’s goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the United Nations Intergover nmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that global greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025 before declining precipitously and achieving net-zero emissions by the early 2050s. R a t he r t h a n lo ck i ng i n a d d it io n a l emissions for years to come, BOEM and DOI must signal the United States’ commitment to reducing our emissions and combating climate change. “Opposition to offshore drilling is not a partisan issue. Governors of both parties up and down our coasts, joined by a diverse coalition of residents, stakeholders, municipalities, organizations, and elected officials from all levels of government, have come together to declare that our shores are not for sale to Big Oil. President Biden recognized the threat that offshore drilling poses to our coasts, economy, and climate, and he campaigned on a promise of ending offshore drilling. “We urge you to uphold the President’s promise, and include no new lease sales in the next five-year OCS oil and gas leasing program, and appreciate your attention to this important matter.”

PoLiCe BLotteR Ocean County Man Pleads Guilty To Dealing Cocaine
By Alyssa Riccardi BRICK – A township man has pleaded guilty to dealing cocaine after a four-month investigation, “Operation Checkmate,” connected him to a drug network. Andrew Contaldi, 47, of Brick, pled guilty to Possession of Cocaine in an Amount Greater than Five Ounces with Intent to Distribute. At the time of his sentencing on August 12, 2022, the State will be recommending a term of 10 years New Jersey State Prison. “T he Ocea n Cou nt y P rosecutor’s Off ice Narcotics St rike Force managed and directed three simultaneous multi-agency investigations into high level cocaine distribution in Ocean, Monmouth, and Middlesex Counties, as well as New York City. During the course of these investigations, approximately 50 additional law enforcement personnel were assigned to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force on a full-time basis. Multiple agencies, both within and outside of Ocean Count y, assisted in ever y aspect of all t h ree i nvest igat ions,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said. T he i nve st igat ion s, ide nt if ied a s “Operation Checkmate,” began in July 2021 and concluded in October of 2021, Billhimer stated. According to officials, three cocaine networks were responsible for the import of more than three kilograms of cocaine per week into the Ocean, Monmouth, and Middlesex County areas. W i t h s u r ve i l l a n c e m e t h o d s a n d u nde rcove r op e r at ive s, “O pe r at ion Checkmate” was successful with dismantling illicit controlled dangerous substance (CDS) distribution activities in these three counties, as well as New York City. On October 26, 2021, 24 people were arrested for various offenses involving distribution of drugs. In addition, 24 search warrants were executed resulting in the seizure of more than four kilograms of cocaine, over 15 pounds of marijuana, in excess of $650,0 0 0, seven f i rea r ms (th ree handguns, three “ghost guns,” and one pistol grip shotgun), 10 vehicles and additional illegal narcotics. On October 26, 2021, a court authorized search warrant was executed on Contaldi’s home in Brick. As a result, detectives seized approximately 400 grams of cocaine and $19,500. Contaldi was arrested at his home and
has been lodged in the Ocean County Jail since that date. Prosecutor Billhimer acknowledged the efforts of Assistant Prosecutor Stephen Burke who is handling the case on behalf of the State and also recognized the following agencies for their collaborative assistance and cooperation with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force: Ocean County Prosecutor’s Off ice Asset Forfeiture Unit, Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, United States Drug Enforcement Ad m i n ist r at ion - H I DTA G roup 5, Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics St r ike Force, New Jersey St at e Pol ic e - Tr a f f ick i ng C e nt r a l Unit, New Jersey State Police Teams Unit, New Jersey Air National Guard Counter Drug Task Force, Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Un it, Atla nt ic Cou nt y P rosecutor’s Office Narcotics Task Force, Matawan Police Depar tment, Matawan Police K-9 Unit, Keyport Police Department, Manalapan Police Department, Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Field Services Unit, Ocean Cou nt y Sher iff ’s Off ice K-9 Un it, Ba r negat Police Depa r t ment, Brick Police Department Street Crimes Unit, Brick Police Department Special Response Team, Brick Police Departme nt K-9 Un it , Be a chwo o d Pol ic e Department, Berkeley Police, Jackson Police, Lakewood Police Department Dr ug Enforcement Unit, La kewood Police Department Special Response Team, Lakewood K-9 Unit, Manchester Police Depar tment Special Enforcement Team, Ocean Township Police Department (Waretown), Point Pleasant Borough Police, South Toms River Police, Stafford Police Department, Toms River Police Department Special Enforcement Unit, Toms River Police Department Emergency Services Unit, Toms River Police K-9 Unit, Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Office, Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Office K-9 Unit, Aberdeen Police Department, Asbury Park Police Department, Hazlet Police Department, Hazlet Police Department K-9 Unit, Keansburg Police Department, Marlboro Police Department, Middletown Police Department, Sea Bright Police Department, Old Bridge Police Department - Bureau of Narcotics, Union Beach Police Department, Union Beach Police Department K-9 Unit, New York City Police Department – 50th Precinct Field Intelligence Office and the City of New York Office of Special Narcotics Prosecutor.

Research shows that hearing loss may lead to the rapid progression of cognitive decline. The evidence in the literature suggests that: • The slow onset of hearing loss can have a significant impact on several key brain functions, including the memory, hearing, speech and language portions of cognition. • Hearing impairment is a greater risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia than other individual mid-life risks. • The proactive management of hearing loss can delay or slow the onset or progression of cognitive decline. • Studies show the use of hearing aids can slow down the rapid progression of cognitive decline. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center
is on the front line of promoting cognitive health. We now offer a computerized test of cognitive function called Cognivue Thrive. This screening tool objectively and reliably identifies changes in cognitive function that could be indicative of an impairment that requires physician referral. In our opinion, driving brain health awareness and improving access to cognitive screenings are among the most important challenges of the 21st century. Although cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, early identification of underlying conditions such as untreated hearing loss will lead to appropriate management, thus improving cognitive health. If you would like to schedule a Cognivue Thrive screening, please feel free to contact our Toms River office at 732-818-3610.

3 Natural Hot Flash Relief Supplements By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Many people get through their whole life without a hot flash, and that’s great. But for others, the problem is disabling so today’s article is about natural relief for hot flashes. I tend to hear more complaints about hot flashes in the summertime and that’s because the added hot weather makes it even harder for your body to compensate and thermoregulate itself properly. A hot flash feels slightly differently to all those who experience it, but it’s a sensation of warmth throughout your body. It could feel really hot, where you start to flush. If you’ve ever taken a good brand of niacin, you may have felt something akin to a hot flash because it would have made you flush. Sometimes the hot flashes are so frequent, or intense that they are painful or disabling. Triggers include some of the following: • Chili or spicy foods • Caffeinated drinks • A lot of stress • Some medications • Genetics • Your estrogen levels • Your cortisol levels • Levels of thyroid hormone Here are 3 Natural Ways To Reduce Hot Flashes 1. Black Cohosh. Generations of women have relied on the gnarled root of black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) to relieve various hormonal issues such as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and menstrual cramps as well as hot flashes. Many holistic doctors like black cohosh because their patients cannot tolerate HRT due to side effects. And it’s hard to dose correctly unless you know how your patient is metabolizing their hormones. That’s why a DUTCH test can help (it’s
available at my website, or through your own doctor). It can evaluate your urine hormone metabolites because blood tests cannot. 2. St. John’s Wort. The most famous herb used for melancholy helps with hot flashes too! Studies have shown that St. John’s wort is effective in treating menopause symptoms and mood dysphoria. It also has some sedative properties making it useful for people with insomnia. A meta-analysis found that the herb had minimal side effects and could help reduce the number of hot flashes, as well as severity of them. But it takes about 8 weeks to work. The combination of St. John’s wort and Black Cohosh could be really helpful since there is synergy! Just be careful not to combine St. John’s wort with prescribed medications. 3. Thyroid Supplements or medications. Ensuring healthy thyroid hormone status is critical. You shouldn’t have too much or too little thyroid hormone. Your physician can test you to see what your levels are. Having hyperthyroidism means you will run hot! It’s not something that you can fi x with estrogen, you fi x it by reducing your thyroid hormone levels so don’t take supplements to increase levels! My book called Thyroid Healthy can help you address all kinds of thyroid imbalances. Likewise, low thyroid hormone levels as in hypothyroidism, will cause you to have poor thermoregulation as well which can raise your risk for thermostat problems too! Supplements could work very well here to raise levels, as could medications. But please do not start or stop any medications without consulting a qualified medical doctor who can supervise your regimen.

Inside The Law The Purpose For Doing Home Inspections When Buying A House

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates Many years ago, when I first started practicing real estate, home inspections were rare. It was not unusual to see only 1 out of 20 buyers do a home inspection. In fact, there were some forms of residential real estate contracts that did not allow the buyer to do a home inspection. All that has changed! Today, it is exceedingly uncommon and almost unheard of for a buyer not to do a home inspection. The real purpose of having a home inspection is to have an expert determine that the house being purchased is structurally sound and that the major systems of the house, namely the heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing systems and the included appliances and fixtures are in proper working order and that there are no leaks in the roof, walls or basement. In addition, the buyers may also check for the presence of wood destroying insects (termites) and radon gas. Where applicable, the buyer can also check the condition of a swimming pool, docks and bulkheads, as the case may be. The standard procedure in most contract is to allow the buyer a period of time to perform the inspections (usually 14 days) and for the buyer to request that the seller address defects noted in the inspection report. In most cases the seller has the opportunity to correct the defect and if the seller refuses to correct the defect, then the buyer has the right to cancel the contract.
Unfortunately, in some cases, the buyer attempts to use the home inspection as a tool to renegotiate the purchase price of the contract. This is not the reason why we perform home inspections and, in many cases, leads to unnecessary contention between the buyer and the seller. In order to prevent this when I represent a seller, in attorney review I will limit the scope of the inspections to material defects. I define a material defect as a condition or functional aspect of a structural component or system that substantially affects the value, habitability or safety of the house. A material defect does not include merely decorative, stylistic, cosmetic or aesthetic aspects. Also, I also make it clear that the age of a system is not a defect if the system is working properly. By setting the ground rules for the inspections in advance in attorney review, the attorney for the seller can limit the home inspections for the purpose for which they are intended and to prevent the re-negotiation of the previously agreed upon contract price.

ARounD tHe JeRsey sHoRe Meals On Wheels Wins $25,000 State Farm Grant
732.477.4500 355 Brick Boulevard · Brick, NJ 08723 · thesalonnj.com
OCEAN COUNTY – In just 10 days, 88,000 people cast more than 2 million votes in support of their favorite causes. As a result, 100 communities, in 34 states, including Meals on Wheels of Ocean County, is getting an assist from State Farm®. The 100 winners are each receiving $25,000 grants to support local community causes. Meals on Wheels provides 260,000 nutritious meals to frail and homebound seniors, throughout Ocean County, each year. “Meals on Wheels of Ocean County gained enough votes from the community to finish as one of 100 grant winners from across the country and was one of just six grant winners in New Jersey,” says State Farm Corporate Responsibility Analyst Jennifer Young. “Clearly, Ocean County residents are committed to supporting their older neighbors in need.” This past February, State Farm accepted 4,000 applications for worthy causes, from throughout the country, that focus on supporting communities in need. The 4,000 applications were reviewed and narrowed down to the top 200. The top 200 finalists were then posted online for the public to vote on throughout 10 days. Thanks to strong community support, Meals on Wheels of Ocean County is one of the
─Photo courtesy Meals on Wheels winners and one of two winners based in Ocean County. Local organization, David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation, also won a Neighborhood Assist grant this year. In the eleven years of the program, nearly 500 causes have received a total of $12.5 million to enact change in their communities. The $25,000 State Farm grant to Meals on Wheels will support the Pick Up the Tab Program (PUTT). “This funding will help us decrease our waitlist, purchase new heating and refrigeration delivery vehicles and hire more drivers to deliver the over 800 meals we currently serve each day,” says Meals on Wheels of Ocean County Executive Director James Sigurdson. “The Pick Up The Tab (PUTT) program is a critical lifeline toward health and independence. We serve more than 1,600 Ocean County seniors and are extremely grateful for this State Farm grant.” The check was presented to Meals on Wheels by local State Farm agents Lisa Patchell and Carinne Leisey-Gulati. The presentation took place during their Community Cafe’s First Annual Senior Prom. For a complete list of this year’s 100 winners, please visit: neighborhoodassist.com.

“Let It Be: A Celebration Of The Music Of The Beatles” ATLANTIC CITY – Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City and Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment announced today a 2022 partnership to co-present a fan-favorite Broadway show that will take place in Sound Waves inside the resort destination. This summer’s line up will “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles” August 19 through 28. “Hard Rock Atlantic City is thrilled to bring Broadway back to the boardwalk with Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment,” said Joe Lupo, president of Hard Rock Atlantic City. “We are happy to continue our partnership and bring shows like ‘Let It Be’ to our guests to celebrate some of music’s most legendary performers.” “Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment is proud to partner again with Hard Rock Atlantic City to bring these iconic stories about the legends of rock n roll back to the Boardwalk,” says Bob Nederlander, Jr., President & CEO of Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment. Tickets go on sale June 29 at HardRockHotelAtlanticCity.com and Ticketmaster. com or 800-745-3000. The 2022 shows include: “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles” August 19 through 28. Relive the past from Ed Sullivan to Abbey Road, with favorite hits including “Hard Day’s Night,” “Day Tripper,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Twist and Shout,” “Get Back,” “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” “Strawberry Fields,” and imagine the reunion that never was with “Let It Be.” The end of The Beatles era was never thought to be in sight when The Beatles played their last show on the roof of Apple Offices in 1969. Imagine what would have been if The Beatles continued their journey. Enter a time capsule and turn back time to what would have been John Lennon’s 40th Birthday – October 9, 1980. For one night, the fab four come together again on stage after a decade apart performing other hits
─Photo courtesy Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City like “Back in the USSR,” “Live and Let Die,” “Got to Get you Into My Life,” “My Sweet Lord,” “Hey Jude,” and many more. Seen by more than 2 million people worldwide, “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of the Beatles” made its North American debut in the Spring of 2015 with an eight-week run throughout the U.S. and Canada. Now, based on the Broadway show praised as “by bar the best Beatles show yet” (New York Times), Annerin Productions brings audiences a new revamped show for its 2016 touring season. The original production, which established itself as one of the West End’s most popular shows when it opened in 2012, also recently celebrated having performed over 1,000 shows, showcased the music of the world’s most successful rock’n’roll band that charted the band’s meteoric rise from their humble beginnings in Liverpool’s Cavern Club, through the height of Beatlemania, to their later studio masterpieces that was packed with all your favorite hits.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 9 - july 15 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might feel like a social butterfly in the upcoming week. Make the most of holiday outings but remember to be loyal to your committed relationships. Keep your actions appropriate to avoid misunderstandings. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Open mindedness should keep you out of harm’s way. Welcome your friends’ unusual ideas in the week ahead and you may become the center of attention. However, you may need to step up to protect boundaries. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You must play the hand with the cards you are dealt. Impulsive decisions and changes could derail the budget. You may be more interested in moneymaking ideas and career success than romantic interludes this week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Wake up and embrace the things that make you happy. You must be adaptable, consistent, and reliable in the upcoming week. Use wisdom to make headway with career and financial concerns, and business tactics. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Multitask. Make time for appearances in the right places, but also remain dedicated to your focus on work as the week unfolds. Mindful networking can bring rewards on multiple levels and you should enjoy meeting interesting people. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Use your intuition and your open heart. Body language will often tell the story, but not everyone is wired the same way, so not all people will give the same signals. A loved one may help you achieve your goals.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put business before pleasure in the week ahead. You can get a lot accomplished and address your material needs without neglecting your family or a romantic partner. A flirtatious glance may cause a misunderstanding. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your inner ambitions may inspire and empower you to dedicate your time to completing a long-term strategy. You could be thrown into close contact with influential, interesting, or famous people in the upcoming week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Never underestimate the power of a community to provide love and assistance to its members. Revive someone’s spirits in the week ahead by being loud and clear about your support for loved ones and dear friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Demonstrate faith and fidelity. There are never doubts or fears when there is true unity of purpose. If you display unflagging confidence in your abilities in the week ahead, you can instill optimism in everyone you meet. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may meet friendly people at public outings or welcome fascinating people into your home in the upcoming week. Family expenditures could easily get out of hand unless you maintain an iron grip on the budget. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Create a vision to work toward. Visualize a powerful and detailed picture of an exciting future and infuse it with focused actions. Gather advice or guidance from an expert before you make a snap financial decision.
