Legion: Continued From Page 1
Dillard, who first joined the Amer ican Legion in 1969, was elected na tional commander on Sept. 2, 2021, in Phoenix during the organization’s 102nd national convention. His theme as national commander is “No Veteran Left Behind.” He served in Vietnam through four campaigns including the Tet offen sive. He later received an honorable discharge as a radarman second class petty officer from the Navy Reserve before attending Grayson County Junior College and East Texas State University.Asalife member of American Le gion Post 265 in Lake Kiowa, Texas, Dillard served as post commander, vice commander, adjutant, and judge advocate. He coached American Le gion Baseball for more than 10 years and served as his post’s Boys State chairman.Onthe national level, he served as Alternate National Executive Committeeman, consultant to the Insurance Committee, Distinguished Guest Committee, Children & Youth Committee, and Media and Commu nications Council. He has served as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, chairman of the Veterans Employment & Education Commis sion and chairman of the Legislative Commission.
Dillard thanked the members of the Post and each Post’s membership who helped support the recently passed PACT Bill which addresses health care, presumption of service-connection, research, resources, and other matters related to veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during military service.“Itwill affect three and a half mil lion veterans over several generations back into Agent Orange in Vietnam. Anywhere where radiation has been reported and especially the burn pits,” Dillard said. He added that this will aid veterans who served in contaminated areas who have contracted various conditions including “lung cancer and things of this nature. The VA (Veterans Admin istration) has continually denied them benefits and care. Over 70% of those veterans have been declined. “This bill will cover over 23 pre sumptives. This bill will change many veterans’ lives. It is one of the biggest benefit bills to ever be passed since 1944. It should have been done a lot sooner,” Dillard said. “We had in excess of 37,000 people respond in support,” Dillard said. He noted a Montana senator credited “the American Legion for all the work they did on Dillardthis.”headed out to Washington D.C. for the signing of that bill following his visit to the borough post. His visit to New Jersey included stops in Camden and Gloucester County and a visit to Ocean County American Legion Posts in Brick and Toms River earlier in the week with his final visit being Post 351. Former State and Post 351 Commander Chuck Robbins was present for the visit and said it was an honor to have Dillard stop by to visit the borough post during his tour of the Garden State. According to its website, the Amer ican Legion is the largest wartime veterans service organization with nearly 2 million members and more than 12,000 posts in communities throughout America. The American Legion was established by an act of Congress in 1919 and was instrumental in getting the original GI Bill through Congress and the creation of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Currently, the organization is active throughout the United States, sup porting current military personnel and veterans, sponsoring American Legion Baseball, Boys State, Orator ical Contests, and other activities for youth, and pushing for the adoption of a constitutional amendment to prohibit desecration of the U.S. flag.
Thomas had the experience with that age group, and has been able to ring in multiple character education awards for his school, he said. Richard Fastnacht, who served as an assistant superintendent, will now be the Director of Grants and Funded Programs. “With the eliminating of (former supervisor Dr. Estee Maillot’s position, so much has changed with the state and federal funding, and there’s a lot of grant writing, it made sense to consolidate it all to one person,” Citta said. “Richard’s ex perience made sense to move him over to that.” Two board members disagreed with this change.Michele Williams voted no, stating “I was not in accord with the way the vacancy was created.” Anna Polozzo voted no “simply because it was handled improperly.”

EAST RUTHERFORD – Governor Phil Murphy signed a bill to extend expanded permissions for restaurants, bars, distill eries, and breweries to use fixtures and equipment enabling them to serve patrons outdoors in private areas, on sidewalks, and in other municipally-designated outdoor ar eas. The permissions were set to expire No vember 30, 2022 but will now be extended by two additional years to support the food and beverage industry, patrons, and local communities by facilitating opportunities to serve customers outdoors. “My Administration worked in collabo ration with the Legislature to support the restaurant industry and their customers by expanding outdoor dining during the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue that support today by extending these expand ed permissions for food and beverage establishments throughout our state,” said Governor Murphy. “Supporting the success of our small businesses ultimately means supporting the success of our communities. Continuing this successful practice will not only benefit small business owners, but also the many patrons who have come to enjoy the atmosphere and opportunities outdoor dining offers.”

“The legislation …further demonstrates his sustained commitment to supporting businesses throughout the state as they emerge from the pandemic and transition from surviving to thriving,” said NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan. “Extending the ability of restaurants, bars, distilleries, and breweries to con tinue to serve additional patrons at their outside facilities will not only financially benefit these businesses, but will also help grow the economy as new positions are created to meet additional demand.”

The Governor authorized municipalities to enable the expansion of outdoor dining during the COVID-19 pan demic to protect residents while supporting food and beverage establishments. Many business owners have continued to offer outdoor dining since beginning to offer outdoor seating during the summer of 2020. This legislation will authorize continued use of fixtures such as tents, canopies, umbrellas, tables, and chairs for outdoor dining until November 30, 2024, extending a law that was signed by the Governor in February of 2021. This represents another part of the Governor’s ongoing support for small businesses, which includes the addi tional $50 million investment in the FY2023 budget for the Main Street Recovery Fund that has assisted many restaurants and other small businesses.

“The pandemic hit our state hard. To keep our communities safe and our economy running, our Democratic Congress passed the American Rescue Plan to deliver needed relief. That plan provided over $10 billion for New Jersey which helped establishments like Vesta Wood-Fired in East Rutherford stay afloat,” said U.S. Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. “I com mend Governor Murphy for taking action today to provide additional relief for New Jersey restaurants. In Congress, I helped pass the Relief for Restaurants and Other Hard-Hit Industries Act to provide an additional $55 billion for small business es impacted by COVID. I’ll continue to push the Senate to pass our bill, but in the meantime it is encouraging to know our small businesses have a staunch supporter like Governor Murphy here in the Garden State.”
The Governor signed the bill at Vesta Wood-Fired, a local restaurant that received a grant from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority as part of our state’s small business emergency assistance program to support New Jersey businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moreover, they say, he is a man who actually believes he makes sense when he speaks. At Fox News, Sean Hannity has reported that the Presi dent appears to be suffering from dementia.

Mr. Hannity is a man that has spent his career ridiculing and belittling everyone who is not a Republican. In my view, he is an intellectual pauper, a malignant narcis sist, with a Borderline Per sonality. Almost every word he speaks is a lie, including “and” and “the.” When it comes to the Biden administration, however, I do take a kind of schadenfreude delight in listening to the President’s acolytes, trying to tap-dance around the Pres ident’s frequent gaffes and fauxWithpas.many in the Presi dent’s own party calling for defunding the police, open borders, sanctuary cities and referring to looters as “undocumented shoppers,” no wonder President Biden might be experiencing some mental anomalies.

The U.S. imported virtually no baby formula from Canada in 2021, all the while exporting baby formula to Canada.

Abbott contributes nearly half (about 43%) of the total 98% that’s manufac tured in the U.S. In addition to the USMCA agreement and Abbott closure, you have the FDA’s strict guidelines for importing baby formula and very high tariffs on imports imposed by the CompoundingU.S.these issues is the Special Supplemen tal Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children program called WIC. Abbott is the main supplier to this program. The whole short age problem is extremely complex with many, many contributing factors.

The Covered Bridge To politicize the baby for mula shortage feels more like a knee jerk reaction without proper comprehension. So let’s try and clear up the apparent confusion on who’s to blame for the shortage. With the midterms around the corner, there seems to be more interest in whether President Biden will run again or not. Many think the President has done enough to satisfy I’m a news junkie and two headlines from (the weekend of July 30) struck me as showing the difference between this administration and the last one. Let’s start with the current ad ministration. Biden announced that top Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, one of the plotters behind the attacks on Sept. 11, was killed by U.S. forces. “Justice has been delivered. And this terrorist leader is no more,” Biden announced. U.S. intelligence had built a model of his safehouse and used a Hellfire missile that does not explode, but rather kills by nature of it being a 100-pound weapon fired at a person. Be fore impact, blades extend from the sides of the weapon. It was fired from a drone. All of this was done to minimize civilian and allied casualties. This same weekend, Trump hosted the Saudi government’s LIV golf tournament at his course in Bedminster, right here in New Jersey. The Saudi government had an important role in planning Sept. 11, and they continue with terrorism to this day. But Trump welcomed them with open arms because they have money. If there’s any discussion about which president is tougher on terrorism, one needs to look no further than what happened in one weekend. One president kills terrorist leaders. The other one embraces them.

TOMS RIVER – The Extended School Year program in the Toms River School District is do ing much more than providing a summer school for students in need of a little extra learning. It encompasses a variety of skills and learning into a six-week period to not only keep students occupied and stimulated in the summer months, but also to reinforce life skills they might not be able to retain during the regular school year.
The Extended School Year program, more commonly known as the ESY program, focuses on special needs students enrolled in Toms River Schools who are more likely to suffer from the dreaded “summer slide,” the loss of academic skills during summer months. The overall pur pose of the program is to bridge the gap between June and September, as well as to maintain a sense of routine for the students, which makes for an easier return to school in the fall. Kevin Huff, ESY supervisor, explained how the program is not just strictly academic, but also incorporates the teaching of multiple, diverse in structional skills that these students may struggle with during the school year. “There are life skill components, as well as (ESY - See Page 10) Pediatric vaccine children ages 6 months and older at OCHD clinics held on Mondays from 2pm-6pm until further notice.

speech skills, social emotional learning, daily functioning learning, and OT/PT speech ser vices,” Huff says. “We really try to harness what was taught during the school year and reinforce those skills, so that there won’t be excessive time spent reviewing what was lost over the summer months.”Someof these life skills include gardening and cooking. This summer, students at Intermediate South are dedicating some of their time to main taining a garden in the courtyard between two wings of the school. Their responsibilities include watering vegetables and tending to the various plants and herbs. This activity will culminate in a farm-to-table party at the end of the summer,

ESY: Continued From Page 9 in which some of the fruits of their labor will take center stage on the lunch table. The ESY program runs four days a week over the six-week span, with classes occurring during the morning hours. It takes place at three district schools, including Beachwood Elementary, In termediate South, Hooper Avenue Elementary, as well as at the Early Learning Center. The ESY program encompasses all grades, K-12, along with a “post-school” program, which welcomes post-graduates of the district up until the age of 21.
Not only does the program benefit the students when they return to school in September, but it also helps the families of the students at home. “There are many students who struggle with emotional and behavioral issues,” Huff said, “so what we teach them throughout this program helps make things smoother at home during the summer months.”

You can usually tell when something needs to be replaced - your smartphone screen is cracked, or your vacuum smells hot. But what about your hearing de vices? Here are five signs you need new technology:Malfunction: When you perform all the recommended maintenance diligently, but things are still going wrong, it’s time to consider new devices. If replaced batteries drain quickly or sounds remain muffled after a wax guard change, for instance, consider that a red flag. Occasional repairs are normal; persistent problems that resist troubleshooting aren’t. Change in Hearing: Your hearing changes over time due to age, exposure to noise, and health events. We can often adjust your programming to meet your new needs, but sometimes your hearing changes so much that you need a different level of technology.CostlyRepairs: Replacement parts for older hearing aid models are often scarce, especially if the model is discontinued. Think of your devices like a car: If re pairing them costs so much that it makes more sense to replace them, go ahead and spring for a newer model. The general rule of thumb is pay for the repair once, but never twice! Change in Lifestyle: When your lifestyle changes, your tech might need to follow suit. Took up a sport? You’ll probably need moisture resistance. Switched from an office job to a job outdoors? You’re likely experiencing a different level of noise. Technological Advances: You might not realize just how far technology has advanced - with better filtering of back ground noise, the ability to pinpoint fine-tuning capabilities, and the option to stream sound from your smartphone to your hearing aids. High-tech hearing is just an upgrade away. What does dedicated hearing care mean to us?

5. Can you transmit this to your pets? Answer: No, you can’t give it to your pets. It’s the other way around. People become infected from exposure to the animals which include gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, monkeys, dogs, and cats. Of these, rodents seem to be the biggest transmitters. It can be transmitted from human to human as well.

Recently, the World Health Organization has recently declared monkeypox a global health emergency. Monkeypox causes lesions similar to smallpox but milder, and it is self-limiting for most people. In case you’re worried, I want to assure you, that almost everyone in this current outbreak is alive and well. I doubt you will know anyone who gets sick with it, it’s very rare! Nevertheless, monkeypox has become a very hot topic in the news. Let’s go over 8 important points:
8. What should you do if you get infected? Answer: Call your physician to make an appointment to get help, or visit an urgent care center. Follow your doctor’s orders. For home relief, consider over-the-counter analgesics and antipyretics for fever and pain. Avoid close contact with others to minimize spread. If you’re interested in a longer version of this article, it is available at my website, suzycohen.com
6. What can we do to minimize the spread? Answer: If you develop a rash, ulcer, or raised lesion (or you feel sick) avoid close contact and intimacy. Contact your physician.

2. Is it sexually transmitted? Answer: Yes, it is mostly transmitted in this manner. However, there are other modes of transmission such as prolonged face-to-face contact or kissing. Studies confirm that the DNA virus is found main ly in semen, saliva, urine, and/or feces.
7. What is the USA monkeypox case count? Answer: It is unclear. The CDC has a website you can visit to see the live case counts in the USA. But the exact count for monkeypox is unclear. The number they post there includes both monkeypox cases and orthopoxvirus cases, combined. The latter includes smallpox, vaccinia virus, and cowpox. So the monkeypox case count just by itself is opaque.

1. Is this going to kill people all over the world similarly to the coronavirus? Answer: No, not like covid did. I don’t like to propagate fear and this is not going to be like you’re probably imagining it. There will be no monkeypox lockdowns so don’t worry! It’s not transmitted the same way.
4. What are the symptoms? Answer: Fever is always part of the syndrome, along with headache, mus cle aches, and other flu-like symptoms. Lesions and ulcers occur as well. If you develop these issues, call your doctor, and limit contact with others.
OFFERING
3. Why is it named monkeypox? Answer: The virus was first identified from those fuzzy creatures! It was first discovered in 1958 when outbreaks oc curred in monkeys that were being used for research. According to the CDC, the source of the disease remains unknown, however, monkeys (and rodents) harbor the virus.

Renee Thomaier Retired NJ Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator JERSEY SHORE - Mother raccoons can have between two to five babies in a litter, and they will have just one litter per year. Baby raccoons are called kits, and they are typically born in early spring between March and April, but if a mother’s first litter does not survive she may give birth to a second litter as late as June. Have you ever seen a raccoon out and about during the daytime? Raccoons are nocturnal creatures – this is to say they are active at night. People often assume that a raccoon active during daylight hours is rabid or sick. There are numerous reasons a raccoon could be active during the day. Mothers will forage in the evening hours as well as the day to feed her young. As her babies grow, Why Would A Raccoon Be Out In Daylight? she will begin taking her young out during the day with her, teaching them valuable survival skills. You would also see a raccoon out during the daytime if their home was destroyed – the tree they were living in was just cut down. That would occur during the day when raccoons are sleeping. There would be no choice but to move on in search of another place to live. In other cases a raccoon’s nest can be overtaken by another raccoon, where again, the homeless raccoon would have to search for another place toNotesleep.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. It is illegal to possess wildlife for any reason without the proper state and/or federal permits.

By America’s Test Kitchen IF YOU’VE NEVER COOKED TOFU BEFORE, NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO GIVE IT A TRY!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Where there’s a will, there’s a way. In the week to come, you should be able to handle both chal lenges and opportunities with cleverness and an eye for every advantage. Avoid beginning a new job or health regimen.
Serves 4 14 ounces extra-firm tofu 1 cup vegetable broth 3 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar 2 teaspoons plus 1/3 cup cornstarch, measured 1separatelyteaspoon toasted sesame oil 2 tablespoons plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, meas ured separately 1 pound green beans, ends trimmed 2 scallions, sliced thin 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1. Cut tofu into 3/4- inch cubes. Line a rimmed baking sheet with three layers of paper towels. Spread tofu cubes on the baking sheet and let drain for 20 minutes.
3. Gently pat tofu dry with more paper towels. Transfer to a second medium bowl. Add remaining 1/3 cup cornstarch to bowl. Use rubber spatula to gently stir tofu to coat until there is no dry cornstarch
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t waste time pushing against trivial issues. Decide what needs to be accomplished to achieve long-term goals and then get the ball rolling. A loved one may be energetic and active so provide some more space.
6. Carefully add tofu, scallions, garlic, and ginger to skillet. Whisk broth mixture to recombine, then pour into skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Serve.
5. Add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and green beans to skillet and return to medium heat. Cover and cook until green beans are bright green, about 3 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until green beans are spotty brown all over, about 3 minutes.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stay ahead of things. Don’t ignore a minor problem be cause it could snowball into something bigger in the week ahead. You may receive admiration and a pat on the back for being someone’s most trusted companion.
: You may be more passionate about what you want than sensitive toward what others want this week. Loved ones may honor their promises and commitments -- be sure you are equally reliable about keeping yours.

2. While tofu drains, in a medium bowl, whisk to gether broth, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and the sesame oil.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): The spotlight might be on you in the upcoming week. Your best bet for success is to avoid making sudden changes or breaks from routines. Focus on the bigger pic ture rather than trying to become a viral influencer.
STIR - FRIED TOFU WITH GREEN BEANS
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Tune into and make use of shifting motivations in the coming week. You may have the experience and skill to get any job done, but you may be required to adjust to surprising changes. Relentless commitment can take you to the finish line.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Treat yourself to something simple and low key. Enjoy life’s humble pleasures unless they cause complica tions. In the week ahead, you may encounter unpredictable people or unexpected events and be forced to adjust your plans.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Remain within the limits in the week ahead. If you are ethical, responsible and upstanding, you can achieve your ambitions. Don’t let jealousy or suspicions keep you from trusting a loved one or rising to the challenge.

4.remaining.Ina12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat for 1 minute (oil should be hot but not smoking). Carefully add tofu to pan and spread it into an even layer. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off heat. Transfer tofu to a large plate lined with paper towels.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make this a “dress for success” week. The better you feel, the more confidence you exude, and that helps you overcome obstacles that may stand in your way. Surround yourself with supportive people this week.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some criti cism might hurt but it may also provide a needed lesson. You could become frustrated if you try to break the rules or ignore an obstacle in the week ahead. Conditions within the home can change.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Live your life guided by logic and love. You may meet people in the week ahead who trigger your thinking processes and bring out your kindness. Enjoy making fascinating new friends and participating in group activities.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might start off the week with an energetic attitude. All hard work and no play, however, is not sustainable. Your financial decisions can be excellent if you avoid spending just because it appeals to your emotions.
