What Kind Of Drawing Do You Need For Your GARBAGE? By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – If you need a big garbage container, you have to tell the town where you plan on putting it. But do you need a professional survey done or just a sketch? During a recent Township Council meeting’s public comment period, Abraham Hershkowitz of Toms River brought up details of a Jackson ordinance that took effect recently. Ordinance 16-2022 regards construction containers. “On that topic there is a couple things that don’t make sense and doesn’t

add up as far as enforcing this ordinance,” he said. He started with “There is a $100 application fee for the dumpster fee which is a good thing and a good idea as I like it when you drive through the township and you see dumpsters in their proper locations. There isn’t five of them all over and crap all over the place. It looks neat and I think the ordinance is a great idea.” However, Hershkowitz doesn’t like the idea of having to have a current survey included with the

Jersey Shore Native Vic Morrow Remembered 40 Years After Tragic Death

Photo licensed by Moviestore Collection Ltd / Alamy Stock Photo Actor Vic Morrow seen on the set of the TV series “Combat.”

By Bob Vosseller and Jason Allentoﬀ N EW J ER SEY – When you think of Garden State celebrities both living and dead, the names Frank Sinatra, Abbot & Costello, Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi come to mind but a Jersey actor who grew up locally is often

forgotten. The cause of his death, however, remains a subject of controversy to this day. Actor Vic Morrow was well known for his role in the 1960s TV series “Combat” which was a World War II military drama. Ironically, it was on July 23, 1982, that Morrow died while

filming a recreation of a battle scene from the Vietnam War for “Twilight Zone: The Movie.” Local radio personality Big Jay Sorenson told Jersey Shore Online.com “starting in 1965, I delivered the Lakewood Daily Times and the Asbury Park (Vic - See Page 5)

Farm:

Continued From Page 1 farms that are preserved under the program. For some, growing and selling food crops acts as the mainstay for their livelihood. Ornamental plant growers and legendary stables are also on the list of preserved farms in Ocean County. Plumsted’s dominance in the preservation program has earned it the distinction as Ocean

County’s farm belt. Officials say the coastal divide makes a world of diﬀerence in the quality of the soil from sand or marshlands. Last week, county officials invited the media to join in a tour of some of Plumsted’s preserved farmlands. Mayor Robert Bowen also came along for the visit. Hallock’s U-Pick Farm was the first to become part the Farmland Preservation Program as far back as 1991. Located at 38 Fischer Road in New Egypt, the farm consists of a total of 269 acres.

Those who want a fresh vegetable picking experience will need to bring along their own knives. Fields are open daily although the owners suggest pickers call ahead if they’re looking for a particular crop. Just because a fruit or vegetable is available in the supermarket doesn’t mean it’s in season locally. A retail store on the premises oﬀers a wide selection of already hand-picked delights. The Hallock farm has been around for generations and is well invested in the preservation program. The late Doug Hallock once served

as chairman as the Ocean County Agriculture Development Board. His daughter continues to run the farm – the only business she’s ever known. According to Mark A.C. Villinger, a Supervising Planner with the Ocean County Department of Planning, one of the largest farms purchased under the program was the Grant Farm, which originally consisted of 282 acres. “We purchased the Grant Farm in 2012 directly from the owner and the county became the owner of the farm,” Villinger shared. “We preserved it with the state.” The state’s farmland preservation easement ensured the land would not be developed. Ocean County subsequently auctioned the land, which is now subdivided into two farms. Krowicki’s Farm Market, located at 862 Route 539 in New Egypt has 28.76 acres of the farmland. Dennis Krowicki provided a tour of nearby fields that began with rows of different melons, including crenshaws and honeydews. An apple orchard set apart from the regular crops promises honeycrisps as a favorite variety. “Anything you see growing here is done without any chemical fertilizers,” stressed Krowicki. “There’s no reason to use them.” Pointing to a big dark pile in the distant field, Krowicki said he uses a Zoo Doo he gets from Six Flags. The compost blend likely consists of different animal manures collected from the animals in the amusement park’s safari exhibits. Krowicki’s fields contain a variety of fruits and vegetables that will be picked and offered for sale inside the farm’s market. However, there’s one other distinction to this particular farm. Away from the crops, horse lessons attract eager riders from afar. Krowicki said the farm also hosts riding shows. Emery’s Farm, located at 346 Long Swamp Road in New Egypt became part of the farm preservation program in 2001. The 60-acre property includes 20 acres of blueberries alone. Visitors can pick blueberries or sunflowers depending on the time of year. The aroma of fresh baked goods hit the senses before the door to Emery’s Farm Country Bakery opens. “The bakery is the largest in Ocean County,” said Bowen. “People come from everywhere to buy baked goods here.” John Marchese, the owner of Emery’s Farm said he’s been in the farming industry for 22 years. The lack of rainfall has been one of this year’s challenges, as well as a low volume of blueberries in the industry. And, like everything else, increased costs and supply chain issues have added expenses. At one time, Emery’s Farm featured a ten-acre corn maze. However, with inflation, Marchese decided the $5 admission fee could be a stretch for some families. He’s decided to shorten the corn maze and do something else. “The open ground is now germination for a five-acre sunflower patch,” Marchese said. “We’re switching it up because the millennials with their phones will want to take pictures for five bucks each.” Marchese pointed to another area of the farm where four varieties of pumpkins are planted. He said the drought also poses a dilemma for the pumpkins, which could potentially become a tough crop without water. “We do plan to sell the farm in the next couple of years,” shared Marchese. “We already have three or four serious people who want to purchase it.” While most appreciate the concept of supporting (Farm - See Page 8)

Vic:

Continued From Page 1 Press to his parents’ home. I mentioned that my dad and I watched ‘Combat’ on TV. “His mom asked me in to see pictures of Vic one day. His parents lived on Central Avenue in Lakewood. I got an autograph; but I never met Vic as he was usually in Hollywood. I don’t think they lived there that long,” Sorenson added. Sorenson said, “I do remember finding out about Vic’s death while watching TV news when we lived in Pine Lake Park in Manchester.” A July 25, 1982 edition of the Asbury Park Press featured an interview with Eddie Bodeep, who opened the doors of his cab to many famous figures in the 1950s like Bob Hope. He said in the article that before Morrow’s career took oﬀ, he would ride his cab but couldn’t always pay the 50-cent fare. “I will never forget him. He didn’t always have the money to pay me but he always would. His father was a carpenter and if Vic couldn’t pay me his dad always would. Vic always said he wanted to make it in acting,” Bodeep said. “He didn’t talk too much. He was a great guy and I used to watch all his TV shows and movies when he did become famous,” the retired cabbie was quoted saying. Tom Chesek of the Asbury Park Historical Society, told Jersey Shore Online that while Morrow wasn’t originally from Asbury Park, that it was important for people to know that he was part of the rich heritage of celebrities and interesting people who lived in the community. “His time here was during his high school days. After that he was elsewhere. I once worked on an

The Jackson Times, July 23, 2022, Page 5 exhibit that featured Vic for a boardwalk storefront,” Chesek added. While locals wanted to see their hometown hero’s star continue to rise, his career was cut short in an instance of Hollywood greed. A Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter crashed at Indian Dunes in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, during the making of “Twilight Zone: The Movie.” Morrow was decapitated and child actors Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen were also killed. Six helicopter passengers were also injured. What followed was years of civil and criminal legal action against the personnel overseeing the shoot, including well known director John Landis. The film featured four individual story segments designed to recreate the tone and style of the original Twilight Zone TV series created and hosted by Rod Serling. Morrow’s segment was the first story, called “Time Out” and his character Bill Connor was transported back in time to the Vietnam War, where he has become a Vietnamese man protecting two children from American troops. It was widely reported that Landis, who directed this segment, violated California’s child labor laws by hiring seven-year-old Myca Dinh Le and six-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen without the required permits. Landis and several other members of the film staﬀ were also responsible for a number of labor violations connected with others involved in the accident, which came to light later. The children were hired after Peter Wei-Teh Chen, Renee’s uncle, was approached by a colleague whose wife was a production secretary for the film. Chen first thought of his brother’s

daughter Renee, whose parents agreed to let her participate. Chen then contacted Daniel Le, a Vietnamese colleague, whose son Myca was very outgoing and loved posing for photographs. The boy’s parents believed he would be interested. Chen later testified that he was never informed that either of the children would be in proximity to a helicopter or explosives Both children were paid oﬀ the books to circumvent state law, which did not permit children to work in the evening. Landis didn’t seek a special waiver because he did not think that he would get permission for such a late hour filming session nor approval to have young children in a scene with a large number of explosives. Casting agents were also said to be unaware that the children would be involved in the scene. Associate producer George Folsey Jr. told the children’s parents not to tell any firefighters on the set that the children were part of the scene, and hid them from a fire safety officer who also worked as a welfare worker. It was also reported that a fire safety officer was concerned that the blasts would cause a crash but he failed to discuss this with Landis. New safety protocols were put into place by the film industry following this incident but occurrences like the October 2021 shooting on the set of the film “Rust” have renewed focus on enforcement of safety procedures in film productions. That incident involved actor Alec Baldwin, the film’s lead, who fired a prop gun that contained live ammunition that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The film’s director Joel Souza was also injured by the same projectile during the preparation of that scene. Carrie Morrow was Vic Morrow’s daughter.

Her wife, Kathy Lopez, spoke with Jersey Shore Online. Carrie Morrow passed away in 2016. “I never got to meet him. I met Carrie when we were both seeking some mental health help and that is where I first learned her story about her dad.” She said during a session with psychic John Edwards, “It was really fascinating. I think he came through because he said things about my life that no one could have ever known. I felt like I knew Vic. I felt like I had a connection though it was not through Carrie. “Most of what I knew about Vic was what she told me and her experiences. She encouraged him to keep going on with his career. He wanted to take a different direction and get more into to it. She really encouraged him to go ahead and do ‘The Twilight Zone,’” Lopez said. “She felt a lot of regret over doing that when everything turned out as it did. They had her go out to the site and his bracelet that he had been wearing - they found it at the bottom of the pond and were able to give it back to her. “She felt responsible for encouraging him. Survivor’s guilt. They were best friends. They were really, really close,” Lopez added. Morrow had a different relationship with his other daughter, actress Jennifer Jason Leigh. According to Lopez, he was in the process of reconciling differences he had with her just prior to his death. Both daughters attended the funeral. “There were differences between their parents. Jenny sided with her mom, Barbara Turner, Carrie sided with her dad. Jenny always held that against Carrie because Carrie openly loved her father no matter what. Jenny couldn’t stand him because of drugs and the constant fighting back and forth.

me where I go out there and help people with their permits and put together their building jackets, submit zoning permits and so on to do things the proper way,” he added. “I do this across the state and not just in Jackson, Lakewood and Toms River,” Hershkowitz added, giving the example of another township which charges $70 and doesn’t require a survey but involves the zoning officer being informed of the container’s placement.

He again took issue with the need to have an updated survey for the container which would cause the surveyor to visit the site “costing the homeowner a potential $850, two to eight weeks lead time affecting everything.” “I work with a bunch of companies in organizing containers and Dumpsters and having already spoken to the zoning officer and code enforcement and came to the realization that while this is a great idea and I support it as far as application fees (which could also bring in more money for administration), the only issue here is that I don’t feel it is fair for homeowners or anyone else to have to go out and get a survey costing homeowner potentially $800-$850 for a Dumpster,” he added. Hershkowitz recommended a sketch used in place of a survey to illustrate where the garbage container would be. He said this would also provide less work for the township staff who have to follow up on the surveys. “I don’t feel putting this on code enforcement is fair. What I am proposing is that we remove that part of the ordinance, a sketch would be fine and I think it will become a much more simplified way to work,” he added. Hershkowitz noted that a number of firms who service Jackson with containers “will take a big hit and when a big storm comes through and the shingles are all over the place. Roofers won’t want to work in Jackson Township. “They have called me and said I don’t want to do work here because a homeowner is going to put a Dumpster here and code enforcement is going to come after me saying code enforcement gave me a notice. We need to find a way to streamline this properly. I do respect the ordinance but I think this should be removed as it is unnecessary,” he stressed. Hershkowitz added, “this ordinance is non-en-

forceable, it is a joke. We need to remove the survey part of it.” Council Vice President Andrew Kern asked Township Attorney Gregory McGuckin “if a township house was built in 1980 and no alterations have been made would the original survey be current? In my estimation it would be. “Updated would mean any changes made that would need to be made on the survey that is done. It is not that they need to pay to get a survey, they should have one but they don’t have to get a new one. Am I wrong?” Kern asked the attorney. McGuckin answered, “the language of the ordinance does say updated but I believe that is discretionary with the zoning officer and if there were no changes, I would imagine he would accept it but the zoning officer would be the one to make that determination.” “Current would reflect what is there on the property,” Kern added. “It has to match what the property looks like.” Councilman Alex Sauickie noted that sketches are used in “a lot of other applications pertaining to zoning so this wouldn’t be atypical to switch from a survey to a sketch.” “I fully support the sketch idea,” Hershkowitz said. “It would be a good resolution.” “I would certainly be in support of amending it. I don’t think anyone up here had the intention of causing additional expense by saying ‘survey,’” Sauickie said. Kern said the $100 fee was “calculated out to enforce this. We are not allowed by the state to make money by doing these things. It is not revenue generated. That money has to be spent to enforce it.” Council members discussed amending the ordinance to drop the survey requirement and bringing it up for a vote at a future Council meeting.

State Budget Appropriated $28.8 Million For Mental Health Crisis Response From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – A majority of New Jersey adults and a growing number of young people experience mental health problems, a nationwide behavioral health crisis that has only been exacerbated in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Joined by Acting Governor Sheila Y. Oliver at Raritan Bay Medical Center, Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin held a press conference to highlight comprehensive mental health care crisis response funding in the historic Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) State Budget, signed by Governor Phil Murphy on June 30, 2022. The FY23 budget appropriated $28.8 million – $12.8 million for 988 implementation and $16 million for mobile crisis response to support individuals in crisis who need in-person care. “We are at a critical point in our response to mental health crisis and our investments into a robust continuum of care begins with the launch of 988, which is going to ensure every person in ever y com munit y can access the individualized care they need,” said Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin (D-Middlesex). “Alongside crisis response, we also invested broadly in

c o m m u n it y s e r v i c e s a s well as critical food assistance and housing initiatives, which are all tied to mental wellbeing and vital to our commitment to prioritize the needs of people and families all across our state.” At the outset of his third term, Speaker Coughlin identified mental health among his top priorities for the 220th legislative session. Working together, the Mur phy Administration and the New Jersey Legislature were able to allocate funds in this year’s State Budget that will not only help to transform crisis care for New Jerseyans, but will also advance the pr ior it y to ensu re c omp a s sion at e a nd c omp r ehe n sive mental health care is accessible. The 988 hotline is available 24/7 for call, text, or chat for those experiencing a mental health-related or suicidal crisis, or those looking to help a loved one through a crisis. The existing Lifeline number, 1-800-273-8255, will also continue to be available. “Saturday’s launch of the 9-8-8 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is an incredible advancement in access to coordinated care for our state. This easy-to-remember number will give New Jerseyans experiencing a mental health or suicidal crisis access to free and confidential support via call, text or chat, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” said Acting Governor Sheila Y. Oliver.

“The Mur phy Administration, along with the New Jersey Legislature, have prioritized the mental health needs of residents and worked tirelessly to support New Jerseyans who are struggling. Over $28 million has been allocated in the FY2023 budget to support the infrastructure of the new lifeline and launch new mobile crisis response teams for those in need of in-person support.” Enabling legislation (A-2036/S-311) signed into law by Governor Murphy on June 30, 2022 will ensure New Jerseyans with behavioral health needs will be able to access the appropriate specialized care they require. In addition to the hotline, 988 will develop capacity to dispatch mobile mental health crisis response teams. As a whole, the service will help to fill the gaps in the community crisis care system. “The increasing number of people experiencing mental health problems is a quiet crisis that has grown worse during the coronavir us pandemic. It harms the lives and livelihoods of people in all walks of life, including young people,” said Senator Joseph F. Vitale, chair of the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee. “With this year’s budget and the passage of S-311, we are acting to bring more at tention to the issue, deliver more resources, increase the number of behavioral health professionals and create a robust crisis response system to help those in need. Too often, our neighbors, families and friends who

may be in crisis are forced to bear their anguish silently, and alone. By joining the nationwide effort to prevent suicide and other negative behavioral health outcomes, our state will be able to offer those suffering most a literal lifeline, and immediate help by dialing 988.” “As a mother who lost her precious 16-year-old son T.J. to suicide 11 years ago, I am grateful to our NJ Legislators for understanding the importance of 988 and the com munit y ser vices and infrastructure that need to be reinforced to create a system that will help instead of hurt and that they have put critical funding behind this initiative,” said Wendy Sefcik, chair of the NJ Youth Suicide Prevention Advisory Council. “In the event of a mental health crisis, ever yone should know who to call, who will respond and have somewhere to go.” New Jersey has taken several steps to improve access to behavioral health care over the years: expanding mental health early inter vention prog rams, issuing licenses for additional treatment beds, promoting measures to improve access to substance use disorder treatment and suppor t ser vices, and working to expand readily available access to behavioral health treatment providers.

Continued From Page 4 local businesses, many don’t realize that could still be the case when they’re shopping for flowers in big box stores. MidAtlantic Growers, located at 6 Meadowbrook Lane in New Egypt, joined the preservation program in 2002. The 32.8-acre farm sells ornamental plants on a wholesale basis, generally in a 25-mile radius. Owner Ron Harrison said he’s been in the farming business for many years. He takes a great deal of pride in his operation, as well as the people who work for him. Before pointing out a field containing 60,000 mums, Harrison showed a small cutting to demonstrate how they begin. Mist plays an im-

portant role as far as watering the plants. “All of a sudden they start to root,” Harrison explained. “We then plant them.” Hot houses with temperatures of approximately 120 degrees currently hold colorful zinnias, ready to be shipped for stores to sell. Like Marchese, Harrison noted increased costs have impacted his business. He admits that some of it just doesn’t make sense to him, using rising prices for plastic products as an example. When Harrison first opened the farm, he had ten little greenhouses and his electric bill was over $1,000 a month. Now, MidAtlantic has 75 greenhouses, and the bill is down to $600. “It’s all because of rollups I use, and the solar,” said Harrison. Four different farms – four different approaches to using their land. Four different properties forever preserved as farmland.

Fair:

Continued From Page 1 Thursday night, the second evening of the fair, to meet farm animals, try their hands at skills, and take in the best the county has to offer. Rides lit up the evening sky as hair bands played from the speakers. Smoke from the grills hissed and filled the air with the scent of barbecue. Booths sold clothes, toys, and stuffed animals. Still other booths were there to spread the word about their products or county organizations. Kids could make sand art. For those who wanted to be an art project, they could go to the henna tattoo or face painting booths. “We haven’t had it for two years. We didn’t want to see it go away,” said Helen Ferraro, a long-time volunteer with the fair. She became acting Fair Chairperson after the death Jeff Adams a few months ago. Sadly, he did not get to see the fair come back. The 2020 fair would have been the 73rd year of the fair. The only years they missed were 2020 and 2021. “There are some staples that people ask for every year,” she said, like Bwana Jim, the wildlife expert who lets kids get up close and personal with snakes and other critters. Even though it still had its familiar feeling, there were some fresh attractions. Hatchet throwing and laser tag hadn’t been done

The Jackson Times, July 23, 2022, Page 9 before. There had been dog shows, but this year’s Dynamo Dogs was new. There was a new ride vendor, Campy’s Blue Star Amusements. The 4-H was looking forward to being back as well, said Amelia Valente, 4-H Program Associate and Laura Ferrie, 4-H Program Assistant. “It’s the capstone to our year. The kids work really hard on their projects and now they can show them off,” Valente said. “It’s a fun time for them to feel proud and accomplished.” As a leader in the organization, she said it’s rewarding to have a kid who is shy in September and watch them talk to the public about their pet or craft. The fair is a great recruitment tool, as local children see what the group is all about, she said. Whatever interests the child has, 4-H can find some kind of youth development for them. Without the fair, it was hard to meet prospective members. The 4-H tent had a score of projects the kids have been working on all year. Cages and pens contained fowl, rabbits, goats, and more. The air was humid and dense from a very brief rain storm earlier in the day, but there was a nice breath of cool air as you walked past the fans. The presentations were educational as well, teaching people such topics as how to prepare your pets for an emergency evacuation.

Medusa Unleashed The myth and legend of the snake-haired gorgon Medusa begins a new chapter. Since Six Flags announced her return in March, thrill seekers worldwide have rallied behind Medusa’s homecoming to Frontier Adventures. Originally unveiled as Medusa in 1999, the world’s first floorless, top-rail roller coaster was re-branded to BIZARRO 10 years later. In 2022, this epic scream machine returns to her original form, but showcases a new color palette, logo, Gold Rush-era backstory and theming. Discover The Lost Town Of Medusa Six Flags introduces riders to the legend of “The Lost Town of Medusa.” Depicted throughout the ride queue and on the park’s YouTube channel, the tale surrounds Greek immigrant brothers who traveled to California during the Gold Rush in 1874 - exactly

The Jackson Times, July 23, 2022, Page 11 100 years before Six Flags Great Adventure opened its gates. Their harrowing quest for riches led them to Death Valley and an unforgiving town of outlaws named Exile Canyon. Earth tremors, mineshaft collapses, a rattlesnake infestation and underground coal fire plagued the outpost and its dwellers. The brothers were convinced that Exile Canyon was cursed by an evil sentinel holding sway over the settlement. Their whispers took hold and earned the town the nickname “Medusa” - the Greek word for “guardian.” The town met an unfortunate end as it was wiped oﬀ the map in a ferocious flash flood. While the brothers were never seen again, the snakes remained as a solemn reminder of the legend that gripped this doomed outpost. Exile Canyon Explorers begin their adventure in the rugged Old West. Guests climb aboard open-air, pedestal-like seats sitting four across. Riders’ feet dangle above the track as they slither along a twisted mass of green steel woven through Exile Canyon. Medusa takes riders on a pulse-quickening climb up a 146-foot lift hill (more than 14 stories). The inaugural plunge - a 13-story drop at a speed of 61 mph - symbolically sends riders back in time through a ring of mist. Guests rocket through a massive, 114-foot vertical loop, followed by a gut-wrenching 96-foot dive loop as flame bursts from the town’s coal fire explosion ignite around them. Slithering into a dramatic heart line camelback (or zero-gravity roll) then into a cobra roll (two inversions) a frightening 78 feet above the ground, the churning, coiling adventure continues with a nearly 90-degree, high-speed helix (or horizontal loop). Riders experience negative Gs as they fly over a speed hill and end their voyage with two interlocking corkscrews which coil around a massive mining auger. Medusa’s wrath consumes riders for a relentless three minutes and 15 seconds. Medusa operates daily while her transformation nears completion. This fall during Fright Fest, the legend will continue as the restless spirits of the Batos brothers haunt Frontier Adventures in a western showdown against Medusa. Six Flags Summer Vibes Festival and Medusa are included with park admission. For more information on Six Flags Great Adventure, Wild Safari and Hurricane Harbor, visit sixf lags.com/ greatadventure.

3 Alternatives To That Gross Kitchen Sponge!

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

You won’t like hearing this but your kitchen sponge has more bacteria than a laboratory petri dish! It’s a better incubator for germs than the lab’s traditional agar plate! So, if you’re worried about catching food poisoning from undercooked meat, the odds are far, higher if you clean your dishes with a dirty sponge! I say that because about 5% of raw chicken sold in supermarkets may be contaminated with Salmonella, according to the latest data. Compare that with a microbial paradise like a sponge that could house 54 billion bacteria in every cubic centimeter. That’s the size of a sugar cube! A dirty kitchen sponge can lead to a variety of symptoms that are hard to diagnose. That’s because the clinical presentation of diarrhea, fever, and fatigue is going to look like a lot of things! Certainly, sponge-related illness is never going to come up! It’s almost 100 percent of the time chalked up to “food poisoning.” Here are some of the germs living on your sponge: Campylobacter. This could cause diarrhea. People typically get an infection of this from undercooked (or raw) chicken, unpasteurized milk or contaminated lettuce or vegetables. Those who become ill from this can expect loose stools, abdominal pain, fever, and feeling queasy. Enterobacter cloacae. Germophobes beware, this guy lives in your gut as part of your normal intestinal flora! It’s not considered dangerous unless you become immunocompromised. It’s also a common nosocomial infection… the kind you get while you’re

in the hospital. Then it will rise up with all its glory and attack your skin, respiratory tract, internal organs, and blood. It can cause endocarditis and pneumonia. E. coli. People who become infected with E. coli have the usual stomach complaints that look like food poisoning. To be clear, E. coli can be transmitted from raw or undercooked ground beef, raw milk, some cheese, or contaminated vegetables. Most cases include a mild fever, painful stomach cramping, diarrhea (often tinged with blood), and nausea/vomiting. It may cause life-threatening symptoms so always visit a doctor if you become short of breath, weak, or develop a nosebleed or decreased urination. Other organisms that a sponge can harbor include Klebsiella, Staphylococcus and Moraxella osloensis. That last one is the same bug responsible for the malodor of wet laundry! Here are 3 reasonable alternatives to a sponge: There are many options if you are grossed out about using your sponge. Like one of my friends said, “It’s a love-hate relationship.” 1. Use a scrub brush with bristles. You can put those in a dishwasher. The advantage is that they do not have nooks and crannies like a sponge, so they harbor fewer organisms. 2. Use a dishwasher, but be aware that the soaps all have a bunch of chemicals! 3. Microwave a wet sponge every week.

Know The Risks Of Electric Shock Drowning

NEW JERSEY – With summer here and the July 4th holiday weekend just around the corner, the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) is reminding people about potential electrical hazards that exist in swimming pools and hot tubs, onboard boats, on docks and piers, and in waters surrounding boats, marinas, and launch ramps. While most people are unaware of electrical dangers posed in water environments such as electric shock drowning (ESD), each year people are injured or killed from these hazards. ESD can occur when improperly installed or maintained electrical systems within marinas or boat electrical systems result in electrical current in the water, which can then pass through a person’s body, causing a level of paralysis that can ultimately cause serious injury or drowning. “Continued education about the presence of electrical hazards in water can help reduce the risk of electric shock drowning from happening in pools and waterways,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach & Advocacy. “Have a qualified electrician inspect your boat, swimming pool equipment, hot tub, and spa before engaging in any water activities, and make sure they are regularly maintained to ensure all life-saving measures and protection systems are functioning properly.” Following are tips for swimmers, and pool and boat owners:

Swimmers • Never swim near a marina, dock, or boatyard. • While in a pool or hot tub look out for underwater lights that are not working properly, flicker, or work intermittently. • If you feel a tingling sensation while in a pool, immediately stop swimming in the direction you are heading. Try and swim in a direction where you had not felt the tingling. Exit the water as quickly as possible; avoid using metal ladders or rails. Touching metal may increase the risk of shock. Pool owners • If you are putting in a new pool or hot tub, be sure the wiring is performed by an electrician experienced in the special safety requirements for these types of installations and that the completed work is inspected by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

• Have a qualified electrician periodically inspect and — where necessary — replace or upgrade the electrical devices or equipment that keep your pool or hot tub electrically safe. Have the electrician show you how to turn oﬀ all power in case of an emergency. • If there are overhead electrical lines, make sure they have proper clearance over the pool and other structures, such as a diving board. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified electrician or your local utility company to make sure power lines are a safe distance away. Boat owners • Avoid entering the water when launching or loading a boat. These areas can contain stray electrical currents in the water, possibly leading to electric shock drowning or injury from shock, including death. • Each year, have the boat’s electrical system inspected by a qualified marine electrician to be sure it meets the required codes of your area, including those set by the American Boat & Yacht Council. Make the necessary repairs, if recommended. Follow the same steps after any major storm that aﬀects the boat. • Check with the marina owner to let you know if the marina’s electrical system has recently been inspected to meet the required codes of your area, including the National Electrical Code® (NEC®). • Have ground fault circuit protection (GFCI and GFPE) installed on circuits supplying the boat; use only portable GFCIs or shore power cords (including “Y” adapters) that bear the proper listing mark for marine applications when using electricity near water. Test GFCIs monthly. • NEVER modify the electrical system on a boat or shore power to make something work. The code-required safety mechanisms in place are intended to alert people if something is wrong with the boat and with shore power. Find a licensed, qualified professional to help determine the cause of the problem. NFPA has resources for swimmers, boat and pool owners, including videos, tip sheets, and checklists, that can be downloaded and shared. Please visit nfpa.org/watersafety.

Inside The Law Consider A Caregiver Agreement

Marc S. Galella Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates A Caregiver Agreement is a written contract entered into between a person needing care and a person providing care. Usually, the Caregiver Agreement is between an adult child and a parent, a relative or a friend. Through the use of a Caregiver Agreement, the disabled or elderly person can transfer money to family members as compensation rather than as a gift. A properly prepared Agreement specifically lists what services the child is to provide to the parent and at what price. The Agreement must be in writing and entered into before the compensated services are rendered. Since the caregiver child is getting “paid” they must report the income for tax purposes. In some cases, the parent may be able to deduct the payments as a medical expense. The advantages of having a Caregiver Agreement include establishing clear caregiver compensation, providing a practical housing arrangement and assisting a Medicaid plan. Family members overwhelmingly provide the care for elderly and disabled loved ones at home. Although it’s a labor of love, taking care of ailing loved ones also has a market value, meaning that caretakers can be paid as a way to protect assets. It’s only fair that the child who is caring for the parent should be paid for the services. When a caregiver’s compensation is memorialized in a legal document, allegations by other siblings are minimized because the contract spells out the details. Further, to protect family relationships, it’s recommended that all family mem-

bers agree with the Arrangement even if they are not parties to the agreement. By having a Caregiver Agreement, the parent may be able to avoid a nursing facility by providing for the parent to be able to remain in the parent’s home or the home of the caregiver instead of a nursing facility. A Caregiver Agreement can also be part of a Medicaid plan. As long as the Agreement is correctly drafted, and both parties abide by its terms, funds payable to the caregiver under the Agreement will accelerate Medicaid eligibility. Since payments are made for the services rendered, they should not be treated as gifts. This will thwart Medicaid penalties as a result of giving money directly to the caregiver child. Since caregiver agreements transfer money over a period of time, they are better entered into sooner rather than later. The child should consider the following points if the child feels uncomfortable about taking money to care for the parent: • A third-party caregiver would get paid for caring and giving room and board to the parent; • If the parent were to apply for Medicaid, money that the child could have been paid for legitimately caring for their parent will instead be paid to the nursing home as part of a Medicaid spend down. A proper Caregiver Agreement can be a valuable elder-law planning tool in the right circumstances. Contact our office to see if a Caregiver Agreement makes sense for you.

NJ Students Claim Top Spots In National Cyber Competition

NEW JERSEY – New Jersey led the nation in the total number of scholars and finalists during this year’s CyberStart America competition, according to a recent report received by the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell. CyberStart America is a months-long, immersive cybersecurity competition intended to introduce students to the various facets of a career in cyberse cu r it y, i nclud i ng code brea k i ng, p r og r a m m i ng, ne t wor k i ng, d ig it a l forensics and more. Over 3,80 0 New Jersey st udents, representing 233 high schools, took part in the 2021-2022 National Cyber Schola r sh ip Fou nd at ion a nd SA NS Institute tournament, with 274 placing as finalists and 124 receiving cybersecurity scholarships worth more than $372,000. NJCCIC, which helps coordinate the CyberStart America tournament within the State, is organized under New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness and is comprised of personnel from NJOHSP, the New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey Office of Information Technology. “Each year, we see increased partic-

─Photo courtesy CyberStart America ipation from around our state, largely due to our NJCCIC’s promotional efforts, as well as the support we receive from educators, mentors and parents,” said NJOHSP Director Laurie Doran. “As cyber threats continue to evolve, we aim to stoke students’ interest in this field and possibly inspire a new generation of cyber professionals – roles that are in increasingly high demand in both the private and public sectors.” The competition’s inf luence is crucial at a time when the U.S. is experiencing a cybersecurity workforce deficit, with more than 700,000 vacancies reported nationwide, 16,000 of which remain unfilled in New Jersey. “We are so proud of all the students who took on the CyberStar t America challenge,” said NJOHSP Acting Deputy Director and NJCCIC Director Michael Geraghty. “As leaders, we have an obligation to not only focus on the security needs of today but to also inspire and develop the next generation’s cyber workforce. Based on the results of this year’s competition, New Jersey is well positioned to tackle the growing cyber challenges in the years ahead.” To learn more about CyberStart America, visit cyberstartamerica.org.

It’s Baby Season – I Found A Baby Bird By Renee Thomaier Retired NJ Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator JERSEY SHORE - I can almost guarantee that in your lifetime or in the lifetime of someone you know, an encounter with a baby bird will occur. Have you ever seen a bird on the ground that’s trying to fly but seems to be having trouble? Perhaps it flies low to the ground and only short distances. You may observe groups of the same species, behaving the same way. More than likely you’re looking at a fledgling. A fledgling is a young bird that has left its nest (usually within a few weeks of hatching for small birds) to embark on the next stage of its life – learning to fly and how to survive. From that point on the young bird will no longer return to the nest. Rather it will live on the ground receiving food and coaxing from the parents who will keep an eye on it until it has learned to fly and find food

on its own. If you find a young bird who appears to have fallen from the nest, clearly not having grown feathers, it is possible it has fallen from the nest. Storms, strong winds, and overzealous siblings are some reasons why a baby might land prematurely on the ground. If you see a featherless bird on the ground feel free to contact me for further assessment and advice. If you see flies swarming over the baby, immediate attention is required. If you feel comfortable doing so, remove the bird and place it in a small container. Do not feed the bird but contact me as soon as possible. Note that this information is general and does not address every problem or solution. Should you require assistance, I am happy to help. To reach me please call 732-244-2768.

Continued From Page 5 I thin k they would have reconciled completely. I thin k they could have worked through all that,” Lopez added. Mor row’s daughters never received any apology from John Landis about the death of her father. “He has such power in Hollywood that the sense I got was that Jennifer was afraid for her career and she was grieving ter ribly,” Lopez said. “She did agree to take the settlement from the lawsuit. It wasn’t anywhere near compensation for what had hap-

L op ez s a id t he d au g ht e r s felt i f they did not allow Landis to give the eulogy, “and act like they supported ever y thing, then she would feel the back lash and get black listed. A lot of these things just had a life of their own.” “ He d id n’t s u g ge st a ny t h i ng, he just put himself in places he wasn’t supposed to be but with ever ybody looking, careers on the line, people’s reput ations, all that money, that is what Car rie didn’t like,” Lopez said. “She could see how manipulative that whole system was.” Lopez said Car rie “was like her dad. She loved ever ybody and he would

love you for what you were. I don’t believe Jenny got any kind of closure. I think it is a thing that is still a thor n in her side. Lopez said that Car rie would want her father remembered not only for his acting but “I think she would want them to know that he loved people and his fans, not in a way of what they gave him but in what they were sharing together, taking them back to a time, giving them comfort. He was able to create that for people.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 23 - july 29 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may have an opportunity to learn what is really going on behind the curtain. In the week to come, you might even feel that life is a game show, and you are a contestant. Don’t become involved in power plays. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Wear a smile and get out to meet and greet. Your social life could expand in the week ahead, giving you a chance to be at your best. Jealousy can occur if someone close thinks you are having too much fun without them. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Everything you need to make your dreams a reality may be right at your fingertips. In the next week, you can make inroads in establishing your financial security. Do not be greedy or take drastic steps to make more money. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take care of your own garden before you check out any seemingly greener grass on the other side of the fence. You may be motivated to succeed in the upcoming week but could run into opposition if you are unfair. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): No mud, no lotus. In the week ahead, you should be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty to get an important job done. You might feel like you are struggling to adhere to demanding business policies. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The tactics and strategies you use to reach your goals might need a reappraisal as the week unfolds. Cherish your personal tribe but be aware that not every workplace colleague may be equally on your side.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Count your blessings and send them outward if you find it difficult to settle down to sleep. Hold oﬀ on key decisions about major investments. Family members could be somewhat difficult to cope with in the upcoming week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Hard work can be incredibly satisfying, and in the week ahead, your schedule could be fuller than usual. Handle family obligations by prioritizing the essentials and you will get everything completed in a timely manner. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Deal with financial necessities without making drastic changes in the upcoming week. You may feel pressured to make a decision that could break the bank. Focus on making your home a safe and cozy nest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Applying a “my way or the highway” policy can cause some stress in the week ahead. Oﬀering alternatives, however, might solve a problem by clearing the air. Put new business ventures on the back burner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some people bring blessings into your life and others come in to teach you lessons. You could learn a great deal from social contacts this week. Look for the best value rather than concentrating solely on price. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can grasp the big picture. Your heightened idealism lets you rise above petty squabbles in the week to come. There may be plenty of opportunities to use your imagination and work enthusiastically on creative projects.
