MANCHESTER – International Overdose Awareness Day was observed in Whiting recently. The event honored loved ones lost to overdose throughout the state. Whiting event was one of two observances
A bid was awarded to Meco Inc. for the township’s roadway improvement program and a contract was approved for the leasing of public space and advertisement concession at the township municipal building. This concerned a fi rm that will provide an electronic sign, replacing the one that the township lost during a car accident that destroyed it at the same site early in the year.

There are other restrictions concerning any businesses deemed non-family oriented.

Umba said he was directed to go back to the contractor and ask for any marijuana sales to be negated from that contract (meaning no advertisements for cannabis products could be included on the electronic sign board).

Police Officers Hired Joseph Stapleton and Sean Rembach were appointed as full-time police officers replacing retired officers of the department during the meeting.

Umba explained “the mayor and I discussed doing public roadwork internally through the Public Works Department since we have not done that in a while and having one of our engineers oversee roads that have to be Umbaresurfaced.”added,“in going through our road resurfacing program in town we were informed by the State contractor that they could no longer provide asphalt because they were just bid out for a state job and because of that we had to go into an emergency situation to buy asphalt.

four ordinances during a recent council meeting. Councilmen James Vaccaro and Craig Wallis were absent for the August 22Threemeeting.of those ordinances concerned authorizing the sale of property lots at 112 Champlain Street, 1410 6th Avenue and 1408 6th Avenue.
“This is our second round of property sales and in keeping with drainage policies put in place by the mayor there will not be another round of sales until April of next year. There is currently a moratorium on sales in Pine Lake Park,” Business Administrator Brandon Umba said.
After the five years, the firm and municipality have the option to back out of the deal. Umba said the statute allows for a term of 25 years “however it needs to be authorized through by resolution for a five-year extension” and if there is no extension “there is an option for us to purchase the sign from you,” Umba said to the spokesman.

Umba could not answer how much money the township would receive through the arrangement which involves a five-year lease
Also approved was an ordinance that increased fi nes for trespass and noise regarding quality-of-life issues which was prompted from the Heritage Minerals problems from earlier in the summer. These fi nes would apply throughout the township and not just in that area of it.
Umba explained this was for “a nuisance violation that the council requested our legal department to review and to increase the fi nes to try and quell trespassing on private property.”
Under contracts/agreements the council authorized an employment agreement with Tamara Goble as personnel officer. A bid was also awarded for the purchase of police uniforms to Action Uniform Company.
He added, “we did receive the drainage study back. There are several lots that are County owned and several lots privately owned and we will start reviewing those and you will see ordinances come before the council to purchase those lots in order for us to make drainage improvements.”

Their mission is to educate individuals, families and the community about the disease of addiction and to provide hope and resources for recovery.

She said, “our loved ones struggling with addiction deserve better access to the care they need, and the MAT Act will make this possible by expanding access to life-saving drugs that cut the chance of overdose in half.”Devecka-Rinear
In 2021, over 100,000 people died from a drug-related overdose across the nation,
the most in recorded U.S. history. In New Jersey, 3,124 people overdosed. Deaths have increased by 230% in the last decade, with deaths rising fastest for Black and Hispanic/ LatinxDrug-relatedresidents.deaths among Hispanic/ Latinx Jerseyans are nearly four times higher than 10 years ago and for Black New Jerseyans, deaths have increased more than 250% over that same period according to New Jersey Policy Perspective.
Amanda Devecka-Rinear, of New Jersey Organizing Project noted the New Jersey overdose death toll stating, “every single one of those overdoses was preventable. We have Naloxone, a drug to reverse overdose, and we have drugs like Buprenorphine, a medication that increases long term recovery and reduces the risk of overdose by
Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Sgt. Melissa Rose of the Special Offenders Unit was one of the organizers of the day’s program and explained that the Helping Hand program was funded by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office through a state grant.
“This is about helping the families of those facing addiction problems as well. We have people who are here today to help family members with services. This is also about community education,” Corrigan said.
“Our stories are powerful reminders of what’s at stake if we continue to prioritize profits over people. You can share your own tribute here. If you need help writing up your story, we will happily work with you,” she added.
“Every county in the state has received funds to provide programs and resources and today we are showing how we are spending these funds in our county,” Rose said.
“We had a young lady at the Toms River event who had been off her medication for a while and we had a representative talk to her and transport her to CMC (Community Medical Center, Toms River). We gave out Narcan to parents who have children with addiction and we had families of survivors come by,” Rose said.
also urged individuals to “join the fight to ultimately end the overdose crisis, come to our next Not One More monthly meeting in October. You can RSVP and get a calendar invite at NOTONEMORENJMTG.”njorganizing.us/
She said through their partnership with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, “we are trying to provide everything that people need to get well.”
The second way is “to tell our senators to pass the MAT Act (now part of the Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well Being Act) by taking action at ppls.ac/ MatActNow,” she added.

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 fi nally becoming 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 surround sound, the whole building would shake as a twister made its way across the screen or a dinosaur let out it’s mighty roar to the cheers of the sold-out crowd.
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. The theater was packed, 3,000 strong, and you could barely push your way through the lobby. A thunderstorm brought every seaside visitor from the beaches to the cool confines of our theater. Interesting fact about film projectors, all you need is the power to flicker, and they will shut down to stop the film from burning. So as the storm grew
overhead, we all knew it might get dicey. A quick flash, crack, and then silence as the theater lobby went dark, and the emergency lights kicked on. Then the silence turned to murmurs and footsteps as the wave of angry and confused customers swarmed out from their theaters and surrounded the box office. Much of the next hour or two were a blur, but we got to close early that night, and we all hung out into the wee hours laughing and retelling the story to one another as we fixed

all the film piled on the projection room floor. I was sad when I heard Seacourt was fi nally closing. It was my fi rst job, and it was my favorite job. It was sad to know I won’t be able to visit again, and smell the popcorn fi lled halls, or look up into the mirrored ceiling and see the reflections of my coworkers. Seacourt brought an entire community together and made a lot of peoples’ lives better. It is the end of an era, but the memories will last a lifetime.

Hollywood style lights.
At the height of it all, Seacourt employed over 50 employees. And if you worked there, you were like family. The theater never closed, so you would spend Christmas, Halloween, and 4th of July together. Eating left over Thanksgiving meals from home while ushering thousands into the theater was commonplace. I personally know of over a dozen couples who are still together and happily married with children from meeting at Seacourt, including myself. I remember a regional manager once visited during an employee meeting. He wanted to know how our turnover rate was so low compared to the other theaters. We all looked at one another in shock. A long-time employee named Ben (who proudly made sure to let anyone who would listen know that HE ripped the first ticket at Seacourt) stood and said, “Well... this is my 2nd family, so when it gets tough, we are here for one another.” And he was right.

Every election season, politicians scramble to come up with a platform to win the most votes. They have high-paid consultants with their fingers on the pulse of the nation. They read polls, have lunch with lobbyists and get donations from people with deep pockets.Butthey shouldn’t do all that. Not when some groups are extremely clear in what they want.

“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 report 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 researchers suggest that more than $160 billion lost annually is from taxes that top 1 percent choose not to pay.”

sion, though I’ve not seen a proposed plan. It appears the road would parallel Station Dr. (E. Railroad Ave.) heading for the small lake. Will it cross the lake? How? By a bridge or tunnel? How many additional traffic lights may be needed to make the road safely functional? Money for more lights in town could be better spent at other bottlenecks.Lastbut not least, what provision will be made for the geese crossing Parker Ave. by the lake? I drive by there once a week, and several times a year I encounter a carcass.Bottom line, how much money in tax increases do you want to spend for a road extension that will be of limited use to Lacey residents?

Their requests are all spelled out. Some of them are very sad, like “Eliminate 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 battleship or something.

I recognize that Rt. 9 is a traffic nightmare, and the State bears some responsibility 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.

With all due respect, the founders gave America a constitutional republic that leaders would represent us in Congress. Are they doing that? Make your voices be heard in November’s election. What kind of legacy do we want to pass on to our children and grandchildren?

From The Desk Of The Mayor
Property utilization is a very complex issue for municipalities in our state; however, I want our residents to know that I absolutely share their concerns in maintaining Manchester’s character, while navigating these difficulties. It is important to note the things the township can and cannot do legally when it comes to private land management.
- By Manchester Mayor Robert Hudak
constantly looking for more open space opportunities and to date we have been very successful. Late last year, I worked closely with county officials to purchase 250 acres of open space on Route 571 and Ridgeway Boulevard that is now earmarked to become a recreational area for our residents. Earlier this year, we partnered with Ocean County to purchase the Surf & Stream Campground off of Route 571. A developer was keen on purchasing the campground to place 245 apartments on that site which is now slated to be a county park. We also purchased an additional 16.8 acres off of Route 70 near Hilltop Road, which was slated for housing development. In my first full year as Mayor, we were able to purchase nearly 300 total acres of open space and we will continue to pursue these opportunities. Additionally, I instructed our township’s officials to regularly maintain and update our zoning to discourage predatory development from occurring in our town.

It’s also important for our residents to know the many components that Manchester is legally unable to do when it comes
to land management. First, state law does not permit a moratorium on development except in the case of emergencies like Superstorm Sandy. Further, the township cannot simply order developers to utilize existing retail and office spaces before new buildings are constructed. The Township does not control rents or have the right to deny tenants in commercial spaces that are open or vacant. Lastly spot zoning was deemed illegal by the courts, which is the process of changing zoning regulation to single out or particularly effect one parcel ofAsland.you can tell, land management is a very complex subject, but one that I’ve become extremely well versed in due to my trade as a licensed municipal land-use planner for nearly 20 years. I enjoy raising my three children in our town, which has a quiet appeal while being nearby to many goods and services. Our town is unique in that regard and my promise to our residents is that I will continue to be an effective steward of our land so we preserve Manchester’s identity and combat overdevelopment of our town.

Booker also called upon President Biden to issue an Executive Order to require use of the Food Service Guidelines for Federal Facilities (FSG) for food and beverages sold and served at federally owned and operated facilities, which would ensure that healthy food is available on federal property. “Millions of people rely on federal food service operations, including federal employees, veterans in Veterans Affairs hospitals, members of the armed services, and people who are incarcerated in federal prisons,” Booker explained. “An executive order requiring the use of the FSG would change our government purchasing to improve health and reduce long-term healthcare costs. 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.”

“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 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 Administration in order to prevent and manage chronic disease.”
Additionally, Booker pushed for the Food and Drug Administration to use its existing legal authority to protect consumers. “Front-of-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.

The biggest step a municipality can make in smart land management is the purchase of open space with public funds for the purpose of land preservation. This would ensure the land purchased could never be developed in the future. Manchester is already a beacon of land preservation, as approximately 50% of our township’s land is preserved.

What’sthis.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 because 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 cataloguing almost 270 humpbacks. They are able to compare these markings to keep track of these fascinating animals. This particular whale has the designation
Whale sightings are still pretty rare, at least from the beach. So, that begs the question, “What brings them this close?” As it turns out, it’s what brings a lot of people here, too –good food, good schools, and clean beaches. DeVoe said it’s a few factors, and they are

It’s against 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 swimmers who have come too close.
Her sons are lifeguards (who have a penchant for saving lives even if they’re off duty). They said that they’ll see whales from time to time as well.
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.

The whales’ favorite food is Atlantic menhaden, sometimes called bunker. If you see dark patches in the water, flecked with some splashing around at the surface – that’s a school of bunker.

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 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 pesticides have to be used. More than 250 plants that produce foods rely on pollinating bats, a money-saving tool for farmers.

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.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE
“This way, people don’t just have a painted shell,” Mendez explained. “They also have an ornament.”
Seashells by design are wondrous remnants of the ocean waters, once inhabited by mollusks such as scallops, clams and mussels. However, even the plainest unbroken shell proves inspirational as a keepsake masterpiece for anyone with a bit of imagination.
“I decided to start a Facebook page because I was missing the beach,” said Barrod. “The initial theme revolved around asking people where they were fi nding shells as they walked along the beach. I also asked everyone to post pictures of their fi nds.”
“Shelling on LBI” premiered on social media in May of 2016 and provided a great deal of information for those interested in fi nding shells. Barrod even went so far as to name the most frequently found types of shells on the 18-mile island. Others exchanged tidbits about the best times and places to hunt for them.
LONG BEACH ISLAND - Not all who comb the sandy beaches from Barnegat Light to Holgate are in search of the same treasure. While some arm themselves with metal detectors, others bank on low tide to wash ashore a novel kind of natural canvas.
“Shortly before and during the pandemic, I began painting even more shells because I was home,” shared Mendez. “I also found the Shelling on LBI page, and announced I was hiding them.”
Finding LBI’s Natural Treasure Trove Of Shells
To her disappointment, no one acknowledged they’d found the shells Mendez hid in various spots throughout Long Beach Island. She tried not to make a big deal about the lack of feedback even though she knew someone had come across her designs.
What started as a small private group now includes nearly 6,000 members with a changed focus on artistry and a fun “shell game”
The project became somewhat of a family affair. Mendez and her husband go on the hunt for seashells together. Their favorite spot is a section in Loveladies, which they always visit at low tide. Mendez washes the shells, and her 19-year-old son drills a hole through them.
Robyn Barrod first started coming to Long Beach Island 45 years ago and regularly visits her mother in Beach Haven West throughout the year. One of Barrod’s fondest memories centered on collecting shells as she sunk her toes along the shoreline.
“Paintingtwist. the shells was never even a thought when we fi rst began,” shared Barrod. “However, it’s now taken on a life of its
–Photo by Stephanie Faughnan Shellabration by the beach access on 105th Street on Beach Haven Park contains a variety of shells left behind to take or exchange.
Barrod believes that a woman named Therisa Mendez was the fi rst to come up with the concept. Mendez once worked as a manicurist and enjoyed delighting her clients by adding clever nail art designs. After she had children, Mendez stayed home with them and put her craftiness on the backburner.
own – with many people loving it.”
“In the beginning, they (her shell designs) were just okay,” Mendez said. “I started hiding them (the painted shells) and my then teenage daughter suggested I make an Instagram handle.”

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 investigation. Patients with long-haul COVID are at increased risk. Luckily, serious hearing damage from viral infections is rare, though the temporary effects are uncomfortable — stuffi ness, dizziness, tinnitus, and ear infections could put a damper on your future holiday plans.
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.

2. MSM - Methylsulfonylmethane provides the body with natural, healing sulfur. 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.
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.
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
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 supplement that you can take if you have chronic joint pain and it is particularly helpful for BOTH autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, as well as osteoarthritis.
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.
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 research proves three different curcuminoids work even better, and you’ll find those in high-quality supplements.
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.
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 additional resources. Please visit suzycohen.com.

Others who found Mendez’s creations felt moved by striking coincidences. A young girl who found a shell embellished in support of Ukraine just happened to be on the way to play the Ukrainian National Anthem on her cello. A mother who found a shell Mendez painted of two children said the rendering remarkably resembled her son and daughter.
Capri said she was out on short term disability herself last year and used her time at home to come up with 150 shells on behalf of the group whose mission was important to her. She fi lled a table with her work and accepted donations in lieu of payment. Those who picked up shells were instructed to hide them if they didn’t want them for themselves. And – also requested to patronize the Compassion Café.
hid approximately 500 shells, embellishing them with beach scenes, Disney characters, animals and more. When Mendez posts pictures of the shells she’s hidden, she also provides hints for those looking for a special treasure of their own.
“I had painted a shell of a lady sitting on the beach,” shared Mendez. “I wrote a quote on
In the meantime, Mendez’s shell ornaments are also available for sale at Mistletoe, a gift shop in Beach Haven. Some love her work so much that they’ve commissioned Mendez to create a special shell memory.
As Sprague noticed a lot more people ornamenting shells and hiding them, she decided to contribute by painting some. She added sea glass to the batch she hid to give it a different touch.
Continued From Page 18
Mendez admits she fi nds special joy in learning the shells she’s chosen to hide have made someone’s day and seemingly wound up in the right hands. She recalled the time her husband became a bit perplexed as she kept pushing him to drive further to find the perfect spot to hide one shell in particular.
“They said they didn’t see the shell at fi rst and were shocked when they looked down,” Mendez said. “The picture of the lady I painted looked like their mother – and the quote matched her personality. It gave them all chills, and some were even crying.”
- See Page 24)
A day or two later, a girl posted that she and her family came across the shell when they were all sitting on the beach. Sadly, their mother had recently passed away and they were gathered together, sharing memories of her.
The couple ultimately settled on hiding the shell by a bench up by one of the sand dunes.
it that said something about “let your vibe attract your tribe.”
“I just feel like God must have had his hand in some of the way these things happened,” summed up Mendez.
Shells:
Barrod said she herself doesn’t paint shells, but instead learned to decoupage them. Last December, Barrod made her first decorative attempts and added an ornamental shell to a memory tree erected in Holgate around the“Itholidays.wasacardinal for my father (who died in 2015,) shared Barrod. “Everyone can put a shell on the tree or even on the ground around it because the tree gets filled fast. It’s a memory tree for people who have lost a loved Christmasone.” in July inspired a number of shell artists, including Tracy Gifford Sprague of Barnegat, well-known as a local photographer. Sprague says she takes pictures to make people feel good and happy despite all the craziness in the world.
“We just make a little tag that says “surprise,” Sprague noted. “We tell people they can either keep or re-hide their find and ask them to post on Facebook if they’ve found a shell.”
A couple of people not only paint the shells for fun – but also to raise funds for a local non-profit organization. Both Michele MacIntyre Capri and Judy Keane said they’ve sold their handcrafts and donated the proceeds to Compassion Café, which provides meaningful employment for young people and adults with disabilities.
During the pandemic, Mendez painted and
Keane, 81, gives special meaning to the old tongue twister “She Sells Seashells by the Seashore.” The spirited senior puts a $4 price tag on her creations and invites people to her home to purchase them. Like Capri, Keane turns over all of her earnings to the (Shells

Mendez could not believe what happened as a result of the increased social media exposure. People literally started to go crazy in search of her hidden shells. One woman even messaged in the middle of the night and said she just had to have one of the works of art created by Mendez.
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 specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act.
Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable 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 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 insurance 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 sustained 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.
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 Although,Jersey.as

While Keane’s not running around the entire island hiding her shells, she did put one on the doorsteps of her immediate neighbors. She chuckled that some folks couldn’t immediately figure out who left behind the mystery gifts.
“When I fi rst saw the decoupage shells about three years ago, I knew it was something I could do,” shared Keane. “I do this in Florida too, when I’m down there in the winter.”Someof Keane’s shells are on display at the Root Green Shoppe, a general store in Beach Haven. A jar set up for people who take the shells says that all donations will go to the Compassion Café.
While surf clam shells are the most common to wash ashore the LBI beaches, many others make their way along the shoreline. Children and adults galore all seem to enjoy the game of hide and seek as demonstrated by the popularity of the Shelling on LBI Facebook page.
A shell garden is set up at the end of Keane’s block on 105th Street in Beach Haven Park directly in front of the beach access ramp. People leave behind shells or take them. When Keane noticed some shells were weather worn, she took them home to make them as good as new. It’s all about a Shellabration of nature’s beauty.
Shells as a canvas represent a rebirth in a sense. Special people turn coastal treasures that once protected live mollusks into memories of Long Beach Island as a fantastical place at the Jersey shore.

Brendle, a resident of Brick, and a high school graduate from Howell Township, worked to secure appropriate accommodations for those like herself from the College Board. She also performed at the White House with a choir and also created a choir at the age of 14 for visually impaired singers. Brendle recently performed some of her own music as well as several cover songs during a Saturday afternoon program that was sponsored by the Jackson Friends of the Library.

TRENTON – The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine for adolescents ages 12 through 17 is now available in New Jersey, giving parents another vaccine option as children head back to“Withschool.the start of the new school year right around the corner, this is welcome news for New Jersey parents,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “Novavax offers another safe and effective option to help protect adolescents against COVID-19 as they prepare to return to their classes. I encourage everyone to stay up to date on both their COVID-19 vaccine doses and any other recommended vaccines that they may need going into the Fall.”
“Ensuring that children are up to date on all of their vaccines, including COVID-19, measles and polio, offers the best protection as they return to their classrooms or continue in day care,” said Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “Parents now have several options to choose from and, as always, if they have questions, they should speak with their health care provider. We continue to encourage everyone who is not yet vaccinated against COVID-19 to get all doses that they are eligible for.”
“I want to be a disability rights attorney and what I ultimately chose was representation of disability in children’s media.” This included situation comedies, cartoons and some Disney programs.“Iwascurious because growing up I’d never seen a disabled character on any of those outside of an episode. A blind character was on a Sesame Street episode, actually, a fraction of one. Is there something to that?” Brendle pondered.Brendle made some sad discoveries. “The visual impairment representation that is awarded has a rate of one percent right now for children’s media for disability. It doesn’t give disabled kids someone to look up to when they are watching that. One in five Americans have some kind of disability now.”
As for as vilifying, “a lot of villains in cartoons have some sort of defect or disability and that is a really bad angle to take and a consistency that is really troubling as it casts in a kid’s mind that being different are the bad ones and the ones to look out for,” she added.
She intends to contact Nickelodeon and Disney in the future “to see what is possible because that still is an existing issue.” She noted that Sheldon in the Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon shows representation in having “autism or asperger’s and I believe there was a character on Modern Family who has something. There is more adult oriented programming that does have representation.”

She said Jackson Librarian Christine Mecca asked her to talk about another advocacy project she undertook a year later as part of her senior thesis. “I went to a specialized program at a high school and so they required a capstone project where you can’t just write the presentation you actually have to start to institute change about whatever you are discussing.
“It is a pretty large group and to see it, they are

either tokenizing or vilifying,” she added. She gave an example of tokenizing as the Sesame Street episode she referenced. “Where the character was only there for a fraction of an episode as if to check off a box.”
Brendle released a video on social media that explained some of her research in a basic manner. “I started a campaign called ‘Out of Sight Out of Mind’ and it definitely got some attention. Unfortunately, I couldn’t advocate for it as much as I wanted to because I had to go to college right after that but any chance I get to talk about it and bring the issue to light, I definitely do that.”
She was joined by her mother Heather Brendle for the program who provided her some tips. Her mother said she was very proud of her daughter and her bright spirit even as she fought unsurmountable odds to make positive change.Thestory selections she made to punctuate her saga included the songs “Rise Up,” “That’s (Musician - See Page 33)

WNV affects a horse’s neurological system, which is why preventive care is encouraged.
For many people, the virus causes asymptomatic infection or a mild to moderate illness, typically with a fever. 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, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis.
In addition to potentially harming humans, WNV can harm certain animals as well.
Early symptoms of WNV may be confused with COVID-19 or several other common viral illnesses. Specific laboratory tests are needed to confi rm WNV, but there is no specific treatment for it. The best way to prevent the disease is to avoid mosquito bites.“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
Residents, 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 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.
Weeklyagencies.reports on WNV-related activity are available on the Department’s website.

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 Encephalitis,” said New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) Secretary Douglas H. Fisher. “We have found that animals that are vaccinated are less likely to contract these deadly diseases.”

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.”

It’s the middle of February and it’s 15 degrees outside. A bliz zard is forecast for later in the week. You’re at home, watching TV on the couch late at night, thinking about heading to bed. All of a sudden, you hear a weird noise coming from the furnace room. You get up and go investigate, but everything looks okay from the outside at least. Before you know it, you can see your breath and it’s starting to get chilly, even though your thermostat is set at a cozy room temperature. Your heat’s broken. But it’s 11:00 at night, what are you going to do? Easy! Call Care Temp: they’ll get back to you in seven minutes or less and try and do whatever it takes to keep you warm.
When she got to the house, Sally invited her inside for an iced tea. Jen remembers Sally telling her that, “we were the company she was looking for because we’re very personal and truly cared”. Sally went on to thank her that they were there right away and was very happy that she offered her a temporary window unit while the installation was going on. 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.
