“We’re trying to bridge that gap between this specific neighborhood in the town and the law enforcement and trying to make it a more positive interaction as opposed to looking at law enforce ment as a negative thing,” Brandi White of the Mayor’s administration said.

bother to put the tents up.
If you see dark patches in the water, flecked with some splashing around at the surface – that’s a school of bunker. Most of the whales they see around here are juvenile, she said (Yes, that’s right – these are the small ones). “They don’t have to compete with larger whales in the more northern feeding grounds.”
“If the men just marched 10 or 15 miles, I don’t think they really bothered with the tent. They had rubber blankets to keep the moisture off. After you’re marching that long you want food and sleep. You never knew when that bugle was going to sound and you were going to be called into battle,” Heine said. “In the case of Gettysburg, there were numerous units that literally marched 15 miles in the heat and went right into battle.”

What’s interesting is that she saw this same whale within 24 hours from the whale watching vessel. That time, it was 37 miles away, close to Sandy Hook. That’s how far it traveled in one day. She knew it was the same whale be cause of its markings. Tail flukes – the underside of the tail – are unique. Her coworker, Danielle Brown, is the lead humpback researcher with Gotham Whale, a nonprofit that has been cata loguing almost 270 humpbacks. They are able to compare these markings to keep track of these fascinating animals. This particular whale has the designation NYC0209.
well as showed examples of tents and weapons used during that time period. Heine said many of them have studied elements of Civil War life, having in sights about different weapons, gener als and even medical practices.
As it turns out, it’s what brings a lot of people here, too – good food, good schools, and clean beaches.
Why Are They Here?
Whale sightings are still pretty rare, at least from the beach. So, that begs the question, “What brings them this close?”
This particular whale was feeding on a school of bunker. It was lunge feeding, which can be pretty scary if you’re close to it. They come up from below with their mouths open, gulping up tons of fish at a time.
One lifeguard had paddled out on the rescue board to be close to the dolphins – not realizing the whale was there. It breached and she was shaken – but thrilled.It’sagainst the law to willingly swim within 100 yards of a whale. When they’re feeding, it’s a good idea to stay even farther away because they could come up to feed from right below you. They’re gentle giants, but they have been known to accidentally hurt or kill swim mers who have come too close.
Her sons are lifeguards (who have a pen chant for saving lives even if they’re off duty). They said that they’ll see whales from time to time as well.
The tents on display showed where the men would eat and sleep. Inside, everyday items were arranged like a knapsack, wool clothes, rubber blan kets, and more One of the tents, called a dog tent, was used during the summer months and can fit two men inside.

Colors make a huge difference in how we see the world, but not everyone sees colors the same and some don’t see them at all. Seeing colors depends on the function of the three cones that send color information from our eyes to our brains. When none of the cones are working properly, the result is total color blindness. It is very rare, and to those who live with it, the world is not so much black and white, but a variety of different shades of gray. When one of the cones is not working properly, it either causes blue-yellow color blindness, which is extremely rare, or red-green, which is the most common form of color blindness.

TRENTON – Individuals ages 12 and older are now able to obtain a COVID-19 bivalent booster dose, which should be received two months after their most recent booster or pri mary series. This updated version of COVID-19 boosters offers stronger protections against severe illness and death from Omicron sub-variants.
“COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be safe and effective and continue to protect against serious illness and save lives. With children back in school and the upcoming fall and winter holidays, the new bivalent vaccine will give New Jerseyans additional protections against these highly transmissible subvariants,” said Health Commis sioner Judith Persichilli. “As always, if you have yet to get any COVID-19 vaccine or booster, we strongly en courage you to get one today to help protect yourself, your family and community.”ThenewPfizer bivalent booster is recommended for all individuals ages 12 and older, while the Moderna biva lent booster is recommended for those ages 18 and older. People can get the bivalent booster if it has been at least two months since they have completed their primary vaccination series or two months after they have received the most recent booster dose with any authorized or approved monovalent COVID-19 vaccine.
The recommendation by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Pre vention (CDC) follows the recommen dation from its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization of the Pfizer and the Moderna bivalent boosters.NewJersey has received allocations of both Pfizer and Moderna bivalent boosters, which are being delivered to vaccine providers.

I recognize that Rt. 9 is a traffic nightmare, and the State bears some re sponsibility for that since it has mandated how our Town Center could develop, making Rt. 9 and Lacey Rd. the hub. Development is focused on these two roads, and we have no choice in those matters. It is not our burden to bail out the State by alternative road building for a situation of its own making. Other towns along Rt. 9 are probably facing the same congestion, yet the State refuses to take corrective action.

“The tax gap can be a major source of inequity. Today’s tax code contains two sets of rules: one for regular wage and salary workers who re port virtually all the income they earn; and another for wealthy taxpayers, who are often able to avoid a large share of the taxes they owe… estimates from academic re searchers suggest that more than $160 billion lost annu ally is from taxes that top 1 percent choose not to pay.”

It’s been well over 2 years, and the Covid 19 variants are still wreaking havoc in our area. For the most part, the new variants just present with “coldlike” symptoms but the rate of infection spread is typically higher than the common cold. Unfortunately, once you start to exhibit symptoms such as a sore throat, headache, sinus pressure, post nasal drip, etc., you already have Covid 19 and more than likely you have spread the germs to others. Many individuals are taking in home rapid tests and are commonly “negative” for a few days before the result is positive.

How Colds, The Flu & Covid-19 Affects Hearing
Upper respiratory viruses often create fluid buildup in the middle ear, leading to congestion, pain, muffled sound, and secondary infections. The flu virus has been known to affect the auditory nerve,
which can cause permanent hearing loss. Similar to the flu, COVID-19 has shown an alarming ability to attack the hearing and vestibular systems, although the exact reason is still under investi gation. Patients with long-haul COVID are at increased risk. Luckily, serious hearing damage from viral infections is rare, though the temporary effects are uncomfortable — stuffiness, dizziness, tinnitus, and ear infections could put a damper on your future holiday plans.

In my opinion, this is reason enough to frequently wash your hands, don a mask (when in large in group events), and get vaccinated. Unless you physician recom mends otherwise, vaccinated individ uals typically experience a significant reduction of Covid 19 symptoms and the recovery time is generally less.

Today you’ve learned about 4 supplements that support joint health. One of them is free - the vitamin D! If you’d like additional help with your pain, I have a longer article available at my website, as well as addition al resources. Please visit suzycohen.com.
Joints are meant to last a lifetime, and for some people they do! But for others, joints wear out and start to ache. Old injuries can give rise to pain later on in life. Over 50 million people have arthritis today, and conventional medicine’s answer is a pill. It’s usually an NSAID like ibuprofen. This can work temporarily. It’s not right for everyone though, especially those with ulcers, or heart disease.
4 Natural Alternatives to Drugs to Relieve Joint Pain Fast
3. Hyaluronic acid - Arthritic joints are deficient in natural hyaluronic acid, so over time, it leads to the cartilage becoming less squishy and pliable. The stiffer a joint is, the more likely there is pain and inflammation. Hyaluronic acid holds moisture like a sponge, it’s a plumper as in Restylane®and Juvederm® which are two popular facial fillers. Hyaluronic acid may be injected into your joint, for example, your knee. It will not cure anything serious, like if you need a knee replacement… but for simpler problems, an injection of this can bring relief for 2 or 3 months. It can be taken orally as well.
’ s
1. Curcumin - Books have been written on the topic of curcumin and pain relief! It’s a strong anti-inflammatory component of turmeric spice extract. Most people think it is just “curcumin” that works, but recent re search proves three different curcuminoids work even better, and you’ll find those in high-quality supplements.
2. MSM - Methylsulfonylmethane pro vides the body with natural, healing sul fur. This is one component necessary for healthy joints. MSM is sold in health food stores because it is an extremely common ingredient that supports joint health, and it cleans the body up. Sometimes people get scared to take MSM because they don’t

understand that it is NOT a sulfa pill. Sulfur is the third most common and abundant element in your beautiful human body! It is found in great amounts in your nails, your hair, and your skin. Your body requires sulfur to make collagen.

4. Vitamin D - Naturally synthesized in the human body after exposure to sunlight. It is a fact that people who have low levels of vitamin D often have joint pain, and/ or osteoporosis. Vitamin D supplements would be an effective adjunctive supple ment that you can take if you have chronic joint pain and it is particularly helpful for BOTH autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, as well as osteoarthritis.
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The latest studies on osteoarthritis suggest that people who are above their healthy BMI make their pain much worse due to additional pressure on the joints. Also, a diet high in soda, carbs, and sugary foods will exacerbate pain. But there are things you can do. Let’s go through some easy things right now.

New Jersey’s WNV surveillance, control, and prevention activities in volve the coordinated efforts of a num ber of federal, state and local agencies including: NJDOH, NJDEP, NJDA, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State Mosquito Con trol Commission, the Rutgers Center for Vector Biology, and local health and mosquito control agencies.
Early symptoms of WNV may be confused with COVID-19 or several other common viral illnesses. Specific laboratory tests are needed to confirm WNV, but there is no specific treat ment for it. The best way to prevent the disease is to avoid mosquito bites.

Three male residents tested posi tive earlier this month for West Nile virus, in Bergen, Morris, and Ocean counties. Two are in their 50s, one is in his 80s, and all were hospitalized. Two individuals are recovering at home and one remains hospitalized. WNV has also been detected in 293 mosquito pools and a red-tailed hawk this year in New Jersey. No cases of WNV have been reported in horses in 2022. In a typical year, there are eight human WNV infections reported. Last year, New Jersey had 36 human cases of WNV. WNV activity is elevated in mosquitoes this year, but is similar to five-year average trends.

For more information, visit the De partment of Health’s West Nile web page, the Department of Environmen tal Protection’s mosquito webpage, and the Department of Agriculture’s Animal Health website.
Weekly reports on WNV-related activity are available on the Depart ment’s website.
WNV is an arboviral disease which people can acquire through the bite of a mosquito that has fed on an infected bird. WNV is not directly transmitted from birds to humans.
“August and September are the months that we see most West Nile virus cases in New Jersey,” said Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “It is important that residents take steps to protect themselves by using an EPA-registered insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants and avoiding the outdoors during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.”Formany people, the virus causes asymptomatic infection or a mild to moderate illness, typically with a fe ver. People over age 50 and people with weak immune systems are at greater risk of developing severe illness. About one in 150 persons will develop a more severe form of the disease, with symptoms such as a severe headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convul sions, muscle weakness and paralysis.

“Controlling New Jersey’s mosquito population is a major part of protecting our public health,” said New Jersey Environmental Protection Commis sioner Shawn M. LaTourette. “While we have been seeing unusually dry weather this summer, people can help by removing any standing water in their yards and covering any empty containers that can hold water for more than three days. Even small amounts of rain following these drought-like conditions can produce significant numbers of container-inhabiting mos quitoes known to spread West Nile
Experts Urge Protection Against West Nile Virus
“We strongly urge horse owners to vaccinate their animals from serious mosquito-borne illnesses such as West Nile virus and Eastern Equine En cephalitis,” said New Jersey Depart ment of Agriculture (NJDA) Secretary Douglas H. Fisher. “We have found that animals that are vaccinated are less likely to contract these deadly diseases.”Residents, business owners and contractors are asked to take steps to reduce mosquito populations on their properties by emptying or chang ing outdoor standing water at least weekly to stop mosquito breeding. Areas that may need attention in clude flowerpots, pet food and water dishes, birdbaths, swimming pool covers, clogged rain gutters, plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows, and any containers or trash that may be difficult to see, such as under bushes, homes or around building exteriors. Contact with mosquitoes can also be reduced by using air-conditioning when possible and ensuring window screens are in good repair. Refer to tips for Mosquito-Proofing your Yard for more information. Residents are also encouraged to report mosquito concerns to their county mosquito control agency.

Primarily, should your injury require med ical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for rea sonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered.
In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specif ically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act.
Recently my dog Andi and I took our usual walk around 9 p.m. I noticed a single bat flying overhead. Spotting the bat was particularly easy since there was cloud cover in the evening sky. We stopped, observed a second and then a third bat. I have seen bats before but it’s always a thrill, especially knowing how beneficial they are for the envi ronment. So why not look up at the sky some evening and see how many bats you can spot.

JERSEY SHORE - Bats make up approximately 20% of all mammal species around the globe with over 1200 species. There are three types of bats – insect-eating, fruit-eating, and yes, blood-sucking (known as vampire bats). But fear not, the latter lives in Central and South America. Here in New Jersey, there are 6 year-round species of bats. The ones humans are most likely to encounter are big brown bats and little brown bats. These bats consume half their body weight each night. Since bats are nocturnal, the benefit of controlling insects is not wit nessed by most people. Without them, insects would exist beyond our control. The survival of the rain forests rely heavily on bats in contributing to the regrowth of the forests. The more bats in a community the fewer pesticides have to be used. More than 250 plants that produce foods rely on pollinating bats, a money-saving tool for farmers.

Sally ended up getting a main tenance contract with Care Temp that she renewed every year, even after she stopped living in the house fulltime.
