As to how she came to write the book, Quinn said, “I have two kids and my oldest is a really bad sleeper so when I was up with him at night, it was something I started telling myself so that I wouldn’t fall asleep rocking him.”
Quinn explained, “It just grew from there. I have a lot of happy childhood memories growing up at the Jersey Shore. I wrote it as a short story and shared it with some folks and it originally was supposed to be a stand alone novel but during my developmental edit, the editor said you have a lot to work with, you might want to consider breaking it up as a series and it was with her recom mendation that I decided to split it up.”
“As the foursome struggles to surmount the class differences between them, the na tion is plunged into World War I, changing all of their lives forever. Danny is drafted
She added that “while Jennie works tirelessly on the Liberty Loans campaign in Philadelphia, Shannon finds herself ensnared in a rum ring operation as the temperance movement ebbs closer to its goal of Prohibition.”
She added, “writing about a pandemic while living through one was particularly difficult. My research and outline for TTW was completed prior to the COVID-19 lockdowns.”“Therewere times in the last two years where I strongly considered changing these chapters or eliminating them completely from a reader-sensitivity standpoint.

I could tell stories for hours of late-night movies with employees, after-hour laser tag games, and butter flavored topping drinking contests, but one that always stuck out was the time we lost power on a rainy 4th of July weekend.

I had the pleasure or working at Seacourt for 10 years, during what most would call the heyday of its time. I started out selling popcorn and cleaning theaters, then moved into the projection booth, until finally be coming a manager. It wasn’t an easy job, but it was a lot of fun. Chaotic, exhausting fun. Seacourt was one of the rare theaters at the time to pop its own popcorn. Employees would pop nonstop as thousands flocked in from the beaches on a rainy summer day or holiday weekend to see the hottest movies. For most of the 90s it was THE place to go. Lines would run outside and down the sidewalks for movies like Lion King and Star Wars. And when Seacourt upgraded its

Their requests are all spelled out. Some of them are very sad, like “Elimi nate food insecurity in the military.” No one serving our country should have to worry about putting food on their table, yet here we are. There’s even a local organization called Dine On Us that tries to help the folks on the base. This is something that should never happen. The 2023 military budget is proposed to be $773 billion, and part of that includes a raise of 4.6%, so that’s a start. Maybe they should have bought one fewer battle ship or something.

According to Natasha Sa rin, Deputy Assistant Sec retary for Economic Policy, in 2021 “the ‘tax gap’ - the difference between taxes that are owed and collected - totals around $600 billion annually and will mean approximately $7 trillion of lost tax revenue over the next decade. The sheer magnitude of lost revenue is striking: it is equal to 3% of GDP, or all the income taxes paid by the lowest earning 90 percent of taxpayers.
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.
If you’re a current office holder, or someone who is running for office, give those two websites a thor ough read and get yourself educated on the issues that most impact our veterans. We need more politicians who listen to veterans more than deep-pocketed do nors.

“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.”

On a practical note, it appears to me that the most benefit of a road extension would be for transient traffic heading to Waretown and points south. Anyone living in Lacey any length of time knows alternative paths.
Rumor has it that the Township may be in nego tiations to buy land south of Lacey Rd. in the area of the old rail bed for the purpose of extending Railroad Ave. I don’t think there should be any more road building in either direction, but I’ll confine my comments to the proposed southern ex tension.Ifurther demand that be fore any action is taken that this matter be put on a ref erendum for voter decision.

Procurement consistent with the FSG would also support healthy food purchases from independent family farmers and help address climate change. In addition, all federal agencies should make a vegetarian entrée available everywhere that federal government cafeterias are serving meals.” Sen. Booker worked with Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) and U.S. Representatives James P. McGovern (D-MA) and Jackie Walorski (R-IN) on bipartisan, bicameral legislation (S.3064/H.R.5724) to help establish the White House Conference on Hunger, Nu trition, and Health. In August, he hosted a listening session with New Jersey anti-hun ger advocates, state officials, and agricultural stakeholders in advance of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health scheduled for September.
“As we continue to adapt our response to COVID-19 to protect public health, these new boosters have been updated to target common ly-circulating variants in order to guard individu als against severe illness this fall,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “I continue to encourage everyone to get vaccinated and to stay up to date on their boosters, as vaccines are our greatest tool in the fight against COVID-19.”
Additionally, Booker pushed for the Food and Drug Administration to use its existing legal authority to protect consumers. “Frontof-package labeling - such as warning labels or stoplights that signal to consumers if the food product is too high in salt, added sugar, or saturated fat - can promote more equitable access to nutrition information, encourage companies to reformulate their products to be healthier, and encourage healthier diets,” Booker noted.
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 primary series. This updated version of COVID-19 boosters offers stronger protections against severe illness and death from Omicron sub-variants.
As bivalent vaccines, these boosters will target both the original COVID-19 strain as well as the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants. Omicron is currently causing most U.S. COVID-19 cases and are predicted to circulate this fall and winter as well, according to the FDA.
“Our healthcare system largely ignores nutrition as a targeted opportunity for improving health and lowering healthcare spending, despite it being the top cause of poor health. Innovative new strategies can integrate nutrition and healthy eating for both treatment and prevention across federal
The new Pfizer bivalent booster is recommended for all individuals ages 12 and older, while the Moderna bivalent 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.

Health Experts Recommend Updated Vaccine Booster

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ahead of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (DNJ) outlined his top policy objectives that have the potential to dramatically improve nutrition and reduce hunger and diet related diseases in the U.S. The Conference will be held on September 28, 2022 and is the largest whole-of-government initiative to improve the national food system in more than 50 years.
The recommendation by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) follows the recommendation from its Advisory Commit tee on Immunization Practices and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization of the Pfizer and the Moderna bivalent boosters.

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 Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “As always, if you have yet to get any COVID-19 vaccine or booster, we strongly encourage you to get one today to help protect yourself, your family and community.”
Booker urged for better integration of Food as Medicine – programs that integrate the power of food to prevent and treat diet-related disease – into federal healthcare.
“The majority of sodium and added sugar intake in our diet come from ultra-processed foods. Very little progress will be made to
healthcare programs,” wrote Sen. Booker in a letter to Ambassador Susan Rice. “Programs such as medically tailored meals and produce prescriptions should become covered benefits by Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Ad ministration in order to prevent and manage chronic disease.”
In its statement, the CDC said in the coming weeks, the agency also expects to recommend updated COVID-19 boosters for other pediatric groups. When data are available and FDA autho rizes these other types of COVID-19 boosters, CDC will quickly move to help make them available in the United States, according to the statement.
Currently, nearly 81% of New Jerseyans have completed their primary series, and more than 54% have received a first booster. COVID-19 primary series vaccines continue to be recom mended for everyone ages 6 months and older, and COVID-19 boosters are recommended for every eligible individual ages 5 years and older.
Going forward, bivalent boosters will be the sole version of COVID-19 boosters available to anyone ages 12 years and older.
“If you are eligible, there is no bad time to get your COVID-19 booster and I strongly encourage you to receive it,” said CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky, M.D., M.P.H., in the statement.

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), commonly known as a reverse mortgage, is a Federal Housing Administration (FHA)1 insured loan which enables you to access a portion of your home’s equity without having to make monthly mortgage payments.2
We are an independent lender based in Toms River, NJ and are not acting on behalf of the U.S. Department of HUD, FHA or the United States Government. [1] Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) will accrue on your loan balance. You will be charged an initial MIP at closing. The initial MIP will be 2% of the home value not to exceed $12,723. Over the life of the loan, you will be charged an annual MIP that equals .5% of the outstanding mortgage balance. [2] Your current mortgage, if any, must be paid off using the proceeds from your HECM loan. You must still live in the home as your primary residence, continue to pay required property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintain the home according to FHA requirements. Failure to meet these requirements can trigger a loan default that they may result in foreclosure.
Baked Goods table will be filled with de licious cookies, cakes, breads, etc. Make a Scarecrow to take home $20. Make or purchase a clothespin wreath for $20. All supplies are provided by the Museum. Museum will be open for tours at 1:30, 2:30 and 3 p.m.
We are your local Reverse Mortgage Specialists and are happy to discuss the benefits and availability of a reverse mortgage with you, at convenience. Call the name you can trust for a FREE in-person consultation!

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.

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.

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.
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. 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.
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.

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.
The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey.

In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insur ance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sus tained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner.

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 environment. So why not look up at the sky some evening and see how many bats you can spot.
JERSEY SHORE - Bats make up approxi mately 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 witnessed 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 pes ticides have to be used. More than 250 plants that produce foods rely on pollinating bats, a money-saving tool for farmers.

TRENTON – The New Jersey Department of Health has confirmed the state’s first human cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) this year. Three male residents tested positive 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 indi viduals 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“Augusttrends.andSeptember 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.”
Experts Urge Protection Against West Nile Virus
“Controlling New Jersey’s mosquito population is a major part of protecting our public health,” said New Jersey Environmental Protection Commissioner 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 pro duce significant numbers of container-inhabiting
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.
In addition to potentially harming humans, WNV can harm certain animals as well. WNV affects a horse’s neurological system, which is why preventive care is encouraged.
“We strongly urge horse owners to vaccinate their animals from serious mosquito-borne illnesses such as West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis,” 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 deadlyResidents,diseases.”business owners and contractors are asked to take steps to reduce mosquito populations on their properties by emptying or changing outdoor standing water at least weekly to stop mosquito breeding. Areas that may need attention include 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
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 treatment for it. The best way to prevent the disease is to avoid mosquito bites.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you love them, you won’t leave them. Business relationships may become tense in the week ahead, but a romantic partnership could become closer. Remain reasonable about your expectations and keep your promises.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Respond based on who you are, not on who they are. As the week unfolds, you may encounter people who test your strength of character; do not give in to temptation. Focus on having a happy and pleasant family life.
Omarr’s
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t get involved in a family squabble. You may be itching to take matters into your own hands, but it is better to relax and be patient and stay in your lane. By the end of the week, a tense situation will probably be resolved.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): A debate can develop into a drama. Someone might get triggered and seem like a competitor when you merely want to have a conversation. In the coming week, you may need to focus on achieving congenial compromises.
Makes 6 sandwiches
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do not blow off any obligations, even if you really want to escape routines and satisfy an urge to break out of a late-summer rut. Proceed cautiously -- what seems good now may lose its luster later this week.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be open to love. Your romantic nature may get a glowup in the week to come. You may want to be admired for being an active participant but you should not take on additional duties or make crucial decisions today.

6. Remove baking sheet from oven and place on cooling rack. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheet, about 30 minutes. (This is a good time to soften your ice cream in the refrigerator, 15 to 20 minutes.)
