Dr. Izzy’s Sound News
By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – Dearest Abigail, I regret to inform you that the Battle of the Zones has reached yet another year. My fellow soldiers of Zone B met the other three zones on the battlefield at the corner of Birch and Surf. The crack of the bat cried out across this great land, signaling that the fight had just begun. Our supplies are running out, my dear. Verily, my cooler is almost empty and I spilled my Doritos. Though our supplies are low, our morale is high. We will vanquish the foe and proclaim Zone B as the rightful winner of this campaign. But I fear we may be challenged again next year. Yours, Capt. Mertram Bayo (Battle - See Page 12)

Bill Would Change 55+ Rule For Senior Communities By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Another version of a bill has been introduced into the current session of the state legislature that some say could slowly break down the concept of senior communities. The bill will allow any property owner in a senior community to “transfer property without regard to age of buyer.” However, the person who lives in that home must still be a senior. Therefore, a corporation or an investor legally could buy the property and rent it to a senior. It is unclear how this bill would impact people renting their own home like an AirBnB. A child of a senior can take ownership of the property and allow their parent to live there, but that exception already is allowed by most senior communities. There is discussion in the bill about the federal Fair Housing Act, which allows communities to restrict based on age, whereas the Act prohibits restrictions based on things like race. The bill states that it is in accordance with the Fair Housing Act. However, if someone is (Senior - See Page 5)
Candidates File For School Board Election
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Local and regional school board candidates have filed to be on the ballot for the upcoming November 8 election. School board races are tech nically nonpartisan, so candidates aren’t listed
with any political affiliation. Instead, they can choose a short slogan to represent them. The Toms River Regional School District includes Beachwood, Pine Beach, and South Toms River. This year, one Toms River seat and the seats in Pine Beach
and Beachwood are on the ballot. For the Toms River spot, incumbent Kathleen Eagan will b e ch a l le nge d by Daynne Glover. Eagan began her first term in 2019. Glover, whose slogan is “For

board secretary/business administrator Kevin O’Shea said. His term was up at the end of this year. Dohn had been on the board previously but lost in last year’s election. He was appointed to take over for Cammarato at the July board meeting 7-0 and will be sworn in at the August one. The Seaside Park representative on the Central Regional Board of Education was Tracy Mianulli for a number of years. She resigned this year because she moved out of town. She was replaced in May by Rita Kelly, O’Shea said. Mianulli’s term finishes out at the end of 2023. Therefore, Kelly will run in November to keep that seat until the end of next year. She is being challenged by former Seaside Park mayor Robert Matthies. For the Seaside Park local board of education race, there are two, three-year terms available. There are also two candidates: Jasmin D. Grasso and Gary Yedman. These are both incumbents. For the Seaside Heights local board of education race, there are two people running unopposed for two, three-year seats: Timothy Smith and James Boyd. Anthony Storino is running unopposed for a twoyear seat. For the Berkeley Board of Education, there are three, three year terms. Michele Shedlock, James Coffey, and Megan Ornstein are running unopposed under the slogan “Bringing Berkeley Together.” The Ocean Gate School Board election has one candidate for a three-year term, incumbent Aaron Gottesman. For the Island Heights board of education, there are two people running unopposed for two, three-year terms: Robert MacNeal and Dana Weber.

The Commissioner of Community Affairs would have the ability to penalize buyers who let underage people live there. They could also penalize the senior community’s homeowner association if they try to block the sale of a home. The current iteration of this bill is S-2537. It was introduced on May 12 and referred to Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee. It was sponsored by Sen. Troy Singleton. The Assembly version of this bill is A-4106.

More importantly, they will provide an educational experience to the nearly
The Berkeley Times, August 6, 2022, Page 5 ferred to the Assembly Housing Committee. It was sponsored by Assemblywomen Yvonne Lopez and Angelica Jiminez. Berkeley Councilman Michael Signorile urged the council to pass a resolution objecting to it, and the rest of the governing body agreed. “This is just the state continuing with their war on senior communities,” he said. “We have to do everything we can to protect these communities. “It’s been a long struggle,” he said about the fight to stop bills like this. He expressed concern about the way this would be enforced, and its impact on the senior communities. Every so often a version of this bill comes before the state. It is often met with resistance from Berkeley Township as well as the senior communities’ home-
owner associations. “Whatever we have to do to stop this, we will,” Berkeley Councilwoman Sophia Gingrich said. She questioned how the all-volunteer boards of the homeowner associations would be able to police who is living in a home. If they have to hire someone to enforce this bill – and make sure that the person living in the home is indeed a senior – that will add to the dues that residents pay. “We need to maintain the integrity of our senior communities,” Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said. “Planned retirement communities are good for towns because they have a low impact. They have their own recreation in their clubhouse,” he said, by way of an example.
However, with the slow eroding of the 55 and older rule, the senior communities will start filling up with families that have school-aged children. “Just imagine what it’ll do to our school system,” he said. Earlier in the year, Berkeley passed an ordinance that codified the senior restrictions of homeowner associations. The goal was to give more power to the enforcement of 55 and older communities. It didn’t change any of the associations’ bylaws. Rather, it supported them. The governing body members have shared that they have some of the same concerns as the residents: If too many underaged people move in, they might lose their protected status as a senior community. They also worry that landlords and real estate fl ippers will buy up all the homes.
100,000 people who visit us annually. It is gratifying to know that Popcorn Park’s reputation for sanctuary to wildlife in need extends beyond our country’s borders,” said Jerry Rosenthal, CEO of Associated Humane Societies. The AHS thanked Tigers in America and In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue and Educational Center for their help with transportation and logistics. “It has been a very long journey for these four cats. Finally, just shy of two years, we are so excited and relieved that they are now in their forever homes. We are so
thankful for the collaboration of Zoo de Granby who provided excellent care since their arrival from Cherry Brook a little over a year ago, and In-Sync Exotics who made the trip from Texas to Canada to provide transportation to their permanent home. Special thanks to Senator Raymond Lesniak for his perseverance in helping relocate these cats to New Jersey. This relocation would not have been possible without the tremendous support of Tigers in America. We are honored that these four animals will be sharing the rest of their lives with us and looking forward
to them settling into our Popcorn Park family,” said John Bergmann, Executive Director of Popcorn Park. On September 10th, Popcorn Park Animal Refuge will celebrate their 45th year of operation with a special anniversary event, which will include an official welcoming ceremony for these cats. More information can be found at AHSCares. org as the date approaches. The zoo relies on sponsorship and donations to care for animals like these. To help, visit ahs.givecloud.co/big-catrescue

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Facebook, Twitter Urged To Fight Disinformation Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was joined by Senators Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) in calling on the CEOs of Meta, Twitter, and Telegram to substantially increase efforts to moderate content by Russian state media services
RT en Español and Sputnik Mundo – the cornerstone of the Kremlin’s Spanish language disinformation and propaganda system – as Putin’s illegal war against Ukraine rages on. The senators’ call comes against the backdrop of persistent and growing efforts by Russia to target the Western Hemisphere through information operations, particularly through Spanish-language disinformation, with a goal to spread falsehoods about Putin’s actions in Ukraine, polarize societies, and ultimately undermine democratic governance in the region.
“As Putin’s regime takes increasingly draconian measures to prevent its own citizens from accessing the truth, by blocking social media and stamping out any remaining semblance of independent media in the country, Russian state media continues to exploit the platform provided by [Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Telegram] to amplify and export its lies abroad,” the senators wrote. “[D] isinformation campaigns by Russian state media’s Spanish-language outlets targeted at Latin American and Caribbean audiences regularly reach Spanish-speaking communities in the United States, directly harming our national interests. We are deeply concerned by reports that
the operations and reach of such outlets have only increased amid Putin’s actions in Ukraine.” The senators also called on the platforms to dedicate additional resources to ensure parity between efforts to identify and moderate the spread and amplification of all Spanish-language disinformation content about Russia’s vicious assault in Ukraine and efforts to mitigate the spread of such disinformation in English. “In these extraordinary circumstances, we must remain vigilant about the ability of known purveyors of Russian disinformation to propagate falsehoods about Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, whether in Spanish or any other language,” the senators added.
Voting Reform Laws To Strengthen New Jersey Elections From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy reaffirmed his commitment to securing access to voting rights by signing a series of bills to strengthen New Jersey’s elections. They build on reforms to expand democracy enacted during the Murphy Administration, including automatic voter registration and in-person early voting.
“Across the nation, we continue to see one of our nation’s core principles come under attack as states restrict access to the ballot,” said Gove r n o r M u r p h y. “ I a m proud to sign legislation that will make democracy more accessible, more transparent, and stronger in our state. New Jersey will continue to move forward as we ensure that the democratic process is secure and protected.” “With this bill package, New Jersey continues to expand access to the ballot box and provide additional resources to our election officials, while strength-
ening the security of our elections,” Secretary of State Tahesha Way said. “The right to vote is the ver y foundation of our democracy and we are committed to making voting as safe, simple, and transparent as possible.” The Governor signed the following bills into law: A-1969/S -138 ( Mu k her ji, Su mter, Egan/Diegnan, Greenstein) - Allows minors to ser ve as election workers between 5:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on election days A-3817/S -2863 ( Ver relli, Benson / Zwicker, Gopal) - Requires ballot privacy sleeves at polling place; makes various changes to early and mail-in voting procedures; creates online form
to update name and residence on existing voter registration record A-3819/S -2868 ( Mu k her ji, D u n n, St a n ley/Cr ya n , G op a l) - Sp e ci f ie s circumstances when voter will be removed from permanent vote by mail status and when ballot will be sent to primary address; requires educational campaign; makes appropriation of $5 million A-3820/S-2869 (Karabinchak, Jaffer, Stanley/Cryan, Gopal) - Prohibits unaffiliated mail-in voters from receiving mail-in ballot for primary election; requires election officials to provide such voters certain notices; prohibits mail-in ballot envelopes from containing visible (Government - See Page 21)

By Phyllis Brown BERKELEY – Did you know that there is no more recycling at the First Aid Squad? We leased the space from Holiday City Berkeley and they needed the space back for parking. Please do not leave papers or other items for recycling as it is creating a mess that only gets tossed in the garbage. Please do not tie up your papers. Leave them loose at the curb for recycling to pick up. If you prefer, you may take them to the Berkeley Township recycling center. If you didn’t know, you should not put your recycling in plastic bags but in a covered container at the curb. Shredded paper does not go into recycling but you may put it in the garbage. Last but not least, remove the bottle caps from your recyclable glass and plastic bottles before putting the into the recycling. If you need the ambulance, call 911 and HCBEMS gets the dispatch if we’re available. If we are not, they will dispatch Berkeley Township EMS which works with us to help our senior communities. HCBEMS exists on donations and vol-
unteers. We are grateful for both. We also love getting your thank you letters. Did you know we also need your financial support? We really do appreciate your financial contributions to our fund drive each year. Since we no longer benefit from the recycling program, we also appreciate your continued support of our fundraisers put together by the HCBEMS Auxiliary. For more information on how to join the Auxiliary, call the squad 732-240-3933 or 732-240-4999.and leave a message for Linda. Did you know HCBEMS is one of the few volunteer squads that still exists? Due to lack of volunteers, most of the local squads have had to close their doors. There is no free EMS without volunteers. If you want to keep us going, consider joining one of our EMS squads for a year or 2, maybe 5. No experience necessary! You’ll be CPR certified, regular training, a uniform, experience, and new friends. HCBEMS needs you! Enjoy the rest of your healthy summer.

Continued From Page 1 For the second year in a row, the Battle of the Zones was held at Birch & Surf Park. It was a softball tournament between the four zones that are delineated based on trash and recycling schedules. This started last year when someone made some smack talk about zones on a Beachwood Facebook page and others talked back. The good natured jibes spilled into real life and this competition came to fruition. Last year, Zone C won and took home bragging rights. This year, Zone B won. They played Zone A in the fi nals which was followed by a home run derby, organizer Mike Mandica said. About 100 people signed up but only about half of them showed up, organizers said. There had been threats of bad
weather, so that likely kept people away. There were gray skies but everyone wore brightly colored shirts. Each zone had a different color. It was humid, but there was a great breeze. There’s no prize, and there’s also no cost. It was just a way to have some cheap, local fun. “One of the best parts is that not everyone knew each other,” Mandica said. People were meeting and hanging out for the fi rst time. “Everyone’s just coming for a common interest.” That was obvious if you listened to the chatter between teams. Players busted each others’ chops. One player joked: “I’m going to the Commission.” But there was also plenty of times that people gave players on the other teams tips on how to play better. They were helping each other, which is what neighbors are supposed to do.

LIVING WITH ONE EYE OPEN
Loss of vision in one eye can occur for a variety of reasons, from infection to stroke to extraction of the eye itself. No matter the reason, learning to live with one-sided vision can take a lot of time and lifestyle adjustments. For those with normal vision in their “good” eye, they may not notice the difference most of the time until depth perception is needed. In most cases, a bit of extra care is all that is needed to avoid situations like falling down the stairs or tripping over sidewalks. Tricks like arriving early to an event in order to select a seat that allows the best range of vision will eventually become habit. Your eyes and eyesight change often throughout your life. Annual exams help us catch eye problems early and adjust your eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions to keep your vision sharp. If it’s been a while since you’ve had an eye exam, make an appointment with SIGHTMD NEW JERSEY SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES by calling 732-3495622. We offer evening hours most nights of the week. We provide patients with a wide range of services to improve your vision. Our doctors take the time to listen to and answer your questions so that you can make the best choices to fit your unique needs and lifestyle. P.S. Because driving can be dangerous for those with vision in only one eye, those who plan to continue driving should avoid doing so at night or during inclement weather when visibility is already limited.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Insurance Rates For School Employees Might Raise
NEW JERSEY – Proposed increases to health insurance rates for the School Employees Health Benefits Program (SEHBP) would have a significant, detrimental impact on the budgets of the state’s Community Colleges. If enacted, these increases, which may total more than $14 million per year for the colleges within our system, will undermine Community Colleges’ efforts to provide affordable and high-quality education to more than 200,000 students each year, including those who struggle to afford college. This unexpected, proposed increase, thrust on the institutions serving the most at-risk population of students, will also have a crippling effect on Community
Colleges’ ability to fulfill their mission of access and support for the most vulnerable college students. The proposed increase will also cause New Jersey’s Community Colleges to struggle to meet the critical workforce and other needs of employers which will cause further damage to the state’s economy. The New Jersey Council of County Colleges and the state’s Community Colleges urge the Plan Design Committee for the SEHBP to release all information relating to this possible increase as soon as possible, and we further urge the Governor and the legislature to work together to fi nd appropriate solutions that will minimize any possible increases.

Take Control Of Your Memory & Brain Health
You have the power to optimize your cognition by adopting a combination of key healthy lifestyle habits and being aware of your overall wellness. Studies show that taking proactive steps may help reduce your risk of memory loss and other forms of cognitive decline. Depicted below are evidence based recommendations to proactively manage lifestyle-related risk factors and certain medical conditions that may affect cognition. Stay Mentally Fit: Exercising your mind can help your brain perform at its best. Participating in cognitively stimulating activities may help sharpen certain thinking skills that tend to diminish with age. Have fun engaging your brain by reading books, playing games and doing puzzles. Maintain Connections: Being socially active is brain friendly. Studies have shown that increased social activity is linked to a lower rate of cognitive decline. To stay social, connect with friends and family, or consider volunteering for a local organization. Exercise Regularly: Exercising your body can help keep your brain in shape. Research supports a strong link between physical activity and brain health. It is recommended to get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week. Any activity that gets your heart pumping counts as aerobic activity, such as walking, dancing, and biking.
Eat Healthy: Eating right feeds a healthy body and mind. Food that is good for your overall health is good for your brain. Consider having a balanced diet. Sleep & Relax: Getting a good night’s sleep rests your body and mind. Insufficient sleep can not only make a person irritable, it can affect memory and decision making. Healthy adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. Hearing: Hearing health is important to your cognitive health. Hearing impairment has been recognized as a modifiable contributor to cognitive decline when identified in mid-life. Optimal Vision: Manage or prevent vision impairment. Research has found the relationship between cognitive decline and vision impairment may be a modifiable risk factor. To manage or prevent vision impairment, schedule regular visits with your vision healthcare provider. Medication Management: Medication management is important to your overall health. Taking your medicine as prescribed is important for overall health. Reviewing your meds with your healthcare provider or pharmacist is an integral part of medication management. Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer your questions regarding your overall hearing health. Please call 732-818-3610 (Toms River & Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www.gardenstatehearing.com.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

5 Weird Reasons For Hiccups And Potential Therapies By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
For most of you, hiccups happen for a few minutes and resolve on their own. Most of the time it happens because you’ve swallowed too much air while drinking or eating. Or maybe you’ve had a beer, or soda pop, or went from a warm house into the freezing cold! These are all causes for hiccups. Either way, these short-term hiccups go away on their own. But what if they didn’t stop for days or weeks at a time? One man had hiccups for 20 years before he found resolution! Having hiccups for a long time will cause malnourishment, dehydration, mental stress, chest pain, abdominal discomfort, and problems in your relationship. Not to mention you can’t speak properly anymore! If you have been experiencing hiccups for a while, I’m sure you’ve seen your doctor. If you have not, then that is number one on your to-do list. The reason is that your physician cannot effectively treat you unless the cause is known. Next, jot down all your medications. Don’t forget anything. For example, you may have had a lumbar injection for your sciatica or dental work. Include all the medications and treatments in the prior 7 days and share this with your physician. A handful of medical causes for intractable hiccups traditionally teased out include diabetes, brain tumors, gastrointestinal reflux, spinal cord infections and chest trauma. But it’s the less frequent causes that I’m writing about today. Here are 5 weird reasons for persistent hiccups: 1. Steroid use - Medications taken orally (or
by injection) that belong to the corticosteroid category can trigger long-lasting hiccups. Of the medication category, dexamethasone is the worst offender. 2. Thyroid Nodules or Goiters - You may not even realize you have a thyroid problem, because tests are not always conclusive. And with hiccups, doctors don’t automatically look at your thyroid, it is simply that unusual! So I’m listing this because goiters, nodules and hyperthyroidism can lead to intractable hiccup episodes. 3. Pericarditis - This is inflammation of the heart tissue which can cause not only persistent hiccups, but many other symptoms like weakness, fatigue, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and leg swelling. 4. Shingles - At times, people have been known to have a prodromal warning of the onset of herpes zoster which causes shingles. 5. Medications - Many different prescribed and over-the-counter medications can lead to intractable hiccups. These include tranquilizers, medications for mental health, antihistamines, and some blood pressure pills. As you probably already know, short-term hiccups can be received by holding your breath for a few seconds or drinking some water. But these tricks don’t work for intractable hiccups. Oftentimes, medication is needed and today we have several options that your doctor can prescribe. These include risperidone, gabapentin, phenytoin, and baclofen. I have a much more comprehensive article on this topic that includes more bizarre causes for hiccups. That is available at my website, suzycohen.com.

TOMS RIVER – High School South rising junior Tyler Kopin recently completed a once-ina-lifetime, six-day experience at George Mason University in Washington, D.C., participating in a media and journalism conference with students from across the country. Tyler represented Pine Beach, NJ as a National Youth Correspondent to the 2022 Washington Journalism and Media Conference at GMU. The conference was an intensive study of journalism and media, for which participants were selected based on academic accomplishments and a demonstrated interest and excellence in journalism and media studies.
─Photo courtesy Toms River Schools Tyler, who Superintendent (and former HSS Principal) Mike Citta described as “a fantastic young man,” has an interest in communications and sports broadcasting in particular. Broadcast Journalism is an approved CTE program of study at Toms River Regional Schools through the state-funded Perkins grant, and it’s hopeful that Tyler and other students with a passion for the subject will be able to advance their studies in district. For now, Tyler has gained significant experience in the field, as the conference offered decision-making simulations, ethical lessons, and prominent speakers.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Holmdel’s Kristen Palmer Becomes 8 Millionth Fan In BlueClaws History
─Photo courtesy BlueClaws JERSEY SHORE – Kristen Palmer of Holmdel became the 8 millionth fan in BlueClaws history when she came through the RWJBarnabas Health Third Base Gate at ShoreTown Ballpark on July 22 at 6:19 p.m. The BlueClaws entered Friday having drawn 7,999,350 fans since their 2001 inception, 650 short of 8-million. The team opened only the RWJBar nabas Health Third Base Gate, and Palmer came through as Friday’s 650th fan and the team’s 8-millionth. “Congratulations to Kristen on being the BlueClaws 8 millionth fan,” said BlueClaws Team President Joe Ricciutti. “8 million fans obviously means a lot to the BlueClaws, but for us it’s most about the support from the community. The Jersey Shore community has embraced the BlueClaws since day one and for that we are certainly grateful.” As the 8 millionth fan, Palmer receives a prize package including eight nights in a Luxury Suite in 2023, eight tickets to every remaining BlueClaws game this year, plus eight boardwalk game tickets to each game this year. Additionally, the BlueClaws will match the tickets to 2022 games by way of a donation of to eight charities of her choice. She also threw out a ceremonial first pitch at Friday’s game. “We’re well on our way to 9 million,”
said Ricciutti. “Tonight was our eighth sell-out crowd of the season and even after this weekend we still have four great homestands to come. It’s an exciting time to be a part of and a fan of the Jersey Shore BlueClaws.” Rob Merten of Clark became the 7 millionth fan in team history on July 27, 2017. The BlueClaws, the Shore’s Hometown Team, have 26 games remaining this year at ShoreTown Ballpark. August’s promotional schedule includes three Thirsty Thursdays, three fireworks nights, Star Wars Night (August 5th presented by NJR Home Services), a live performance from Splintered Sunlight (August 20 as part of the Bell’s Brewery Summer Concert Series), and much more. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. ShoreTown Ballpark brings the best of the Jersey Shore together in one night out with friends and family. The 9-hole Manasquan Bank Mini Golf Course is located down the right field line. The centerfield concourse features The Boardwalk with traditional favorites like Ring Toss and Hoop Shot.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Christopher R. Shea Esq.
By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s
authorization. Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of AUG 6 - AUG 12 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Opportunities are looming on the horizon. If you ignore them, you might not have another chance. Your tribe may prove their loyalty in the upcoming week. If or when things break, fix them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid problems in the week ahead by treating every person and task with extra mindfulness. Someone may seem hard to please and/or your work may be scrutinized, so issues could be magnified. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An opportunity to better yourself may be just what is needed to achieve your goals. Friends might share powerful insights in the week to come that create a beneficial chain reaction. Make sure you note valuable ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There may be times in in the week ahead when harmless flirtations could be misconstrued by others and lead to a misunderstanding. Money, possessions and values could be an important part of your motivations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Next week, you may dare the unusual rather than settle for the ordinary. Your energies and enthusiasms are probably firing on all cylinders so upgrade your reputation and make headway with creative projects and studies. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make promises cautiously and honor them scrupulously. You’ll need to follow through on your obligations and do your duty. Thinking outside the box can make you appear brilliant in the week ahead.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be inspired or enlightened by someone’s reactions in the coming week. Grand ambitions are forming, so you may pivot at some point. For right now, you will be wise to be content with your present position. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might sacrifice personal pleasures to get ahead in the upcoming week. You can make the most progress if you remain firm about upholding the highest principles. Try to understand what might seem like criticism. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This is a week when having faith in your fellow man should work out to your advantage. You could receive favorable publicity for a creative project or meet someone who introduces you to a fascinating new hobby. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may realize that your social life is in the hands of others as the week unfolds. Bills and other financial obligations could cramp your style. Take concrete steps and be diligent to reach your career goals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be a trusted supporter of a loved one and a steadfast confidante to friends. A partner could receive extra recognition this week. Good things can come to those who wait so remain patient with difficult people. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the week ahead, you may be motivated to do better at your job or become better acquainted with your coworkers. Someone’s engaging ideas can help you make more money or share in the rewards for good work.
