County Opens New Vaccine Clinic

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – As the COVID-19 mutations bring numbers of infected back up, and as kids head back to school, the Ocean County Health Department has opened a new vaccination clinic at the Ocean County Transportation Services Complex in Manchester.

This building is located at 2820 Ridgeway Road and will be open every Monday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Additionally, the clinic at the RWJBarnabas Health Arena at Toms River High School North has been reactivated. That’s located at 1245 Old Freehold Road in Toms River, and will be open every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“The clinic operation at the arena ran so smoothly, efficiently and safely the first time (Clinic - See Page 8)

I have the opportunity to attend similar events in many towns across our state. Overall, this remembrance was organized – Geraldine Oliverie was as always, a class act,” Hankins stated.

Continued From Page 1 of 9/11, administrators, instructors and students of Ocean County College joined attendees under a tent to remember those of Ocean County, and beyond, who died that day.

Among those who spoke as the rain came down at the Campus Mall were OCC President Dr. Jon Larson, Assistant Dean Carolyn Showalter, and English instructor Ameer Sohrawardy.

Student singer Alfred Parchment sang the national anthem while 63rd Army National Guard Band Warrant Officer One Zachary Appleton and First Sgt. Kencis Kleinschmidt performed “God Bless America.”

Showalter said “we are gathered together today for three reasons, to remember those individuals whose lives were lost on 9/11/2001, to be thankful for the 20,000 individuals who were able to escape the carnage, and to teach the young people born since 2001 about the events on 9/11.”

In respect to the third reason, the work of Josephine O’Grady, Alessia Odato and MaryKate Naples, the winners of the 9-11 Student Writing Competition were showcased during the ceremony.

O’Grady had interviewed a New York City resident who witnessed the horror of the World Trade Tower buildings coming down. “This was a contest sponsored by the Office of Student Life and the English Department of OCC. It was a collaboration writing contest. I was told about it by Dr.

Sohrawardy who organized it. I was one of his students.”

“I won the non-fiction category. I asked a person who lived in Manhattan who saw it all from her apartment window. It was interesting. Interviewing someone who actually saw it made me realize that in terms of recovering from it, it was a whole different experience for people who lived in New York,” O’Grady said.

The Bay Head resident added that “in terms of the landscape their entire world was being turned upside down. It messes with you mentally and emotionally and psychologically as well. You see it right in your face.”

O’Grady learned she was among the winners in June after her graduation. She is a student at Kean University as a public health major and wants to pursue public policy in graduate school. “Now I understand the attacks with a new depth.”

Student MaryKate Naples was in 5th grade when the events of September 11, 2001 occurred. She wrote a touching and strong worded composition about losing her father who worked in New York City.

In her absence, her composition was read

by Soharawardy. “Unlike our other two winners of the competition. She was alive and had personal recall of the events of 9/11.

Her work was entitled “1618.’”

“There was no hiding from 9/11 it was everywhere and effected everyone,” she wrote. Her paper added that “no one was surprised by the actions (of her father) that morning. Every day he took care of the

people around him including strangers or even a hitchhiker. He was the kind of dad who would turn everything into a lesson. He was a humble man and if something needed to be taken care of, he was usually ruthless about it. He ran almost 20 city blocks to the towers as everyone else ran for their lives.”

She wrote that her father forced his way into the building and convinced the chief into letting him into the lobby. The chief called him the elevator man and he did whatever he could to free the people who were trapped in the most complex elevator system at the time.

Naples learned months later, in January 2002 that her father was truly gone when his remains were found. Her writing added a strong call for the U.S. government to release information about an FBI investigation concerning links to Saudi Arabia funding the terrorist effort. “Now I find our government is indeed hiding something.”

While Odato’s composition concerned a fictional story of a young couple planning their wedding around the time of 9/11, the impact of her story was felt by the audience.

The story concerned the death of a man who told his fiancé who also worked at the WTC, to stay home that day and take a day off to focus on the planning of their wedding. He went to work and died as a result of the attack.

The names of those Ocean County residents who died on 9/11 were read toward the close of the event. The 63rd Army National Guard concluded the ceremony with a performance of “Amazing Grace.”

Officer:

Continued From Page 1 department,” Chief Dolan said.

The chief added that Craig has exemplified “these values throughout his entire career. Officer Craig has organized and coordinated Dinner with Santa, Coffee with a Cop, and the Manchester Youth Police Academy.”

School Resource Officers are required to maintain a close relationship with the school administration, and staff, who provide important feedback as to the concerns of the students and parents. The new SRO will also be a juvenile liaison to the Investigations Bureau and follow up with any investigations involving juveniles.

Craig is no stranger to the Manchester Township School District. He is a lifelong township resident having graduated from Manchester Township High School in 2003. The officer served as a LEAD instructor at the Ridgeway Elementary School and organizes the yearly LEAD graduation.

The new SRO also was influential in the development of the high school opiate awareness program, #NEO (Not Even Once), and has taught the program to hundreds of high school students.

The officer already works closely with school officials as a School Safety team member and attends safety drills and meetings throughout the year.

Craig also serves as the Municipal Alliance Chairman in addition to being the acting liaison between the public and the police department.

Chief Dolan added, “take a moment to congratulate Officer Craig and be sure to say hello to him in the hallways!”

Service:

Continued From Page 1 Manchester Fire Department operated by one of their members. When I asked him where the other three township volunteer fire companies or members were, his reply at first shocked me, ‘we were never notified or invited’ he told me.”

Hankins said the volunteer told him he had ‘brought a truck over because I thought there should be a fire truck here.’ Later, as the service went on, I thought about it more, and became infuriated.”

“This firefighter’s dedication to the community and his commitment to the volunteer service, even though he only found out about the event through a Facebook post a short time ago, is a testament to the level of devotion he has to our community,” Hankins added.

“It’s absolutely vital for our township to support our volunteer firemen. They selflessly serve our community every day and they deserve to be recognized and respected for their efforts,” Robert Arace said. Arace is running for mayor to unseat current mayor Robert Hudak, both Republicans.

Hankins is his running mate, going for a council seat.

Hankins said he reached out to current and former fire chiefs of the three volunteer fire departments about the matter and “these chiefs advised me they were in meetings with the town just a few weeks ago and there was no mention of a memorial service.”

“Though members of the paid fire service attended with their new fire truck this

The Manchester Times, September 18, 2021, Page 7 morning, I found it odd that the township would pay, or offer overtime to firefighters to attend the service and not invite the volunteers,” Hankins added.

The former fire chief said he has been a member of the Manchester Volunteer Fire Department for more than 40 years and was “disappointed that a service to honor those emergency responders, and citizens who perished, would exclude the emergency responders that serve our community.”

Mayor Robert Hudak and Township Business Administrator Brandon Uma told The Manchester Times that there was nothing nefarious involved in the situation and that Hankins’ information was not accurate.

During a September 13 Township Council meeting, the mayor read his own statement to the public. “The township did not have anything planned for the 20th Anniversary of September 11th. In fact, we had never held any type of services for this day in the past. As the new mayor, I felt the Township needed to have a service to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this tragic event.”

“At that time, I asked our Recreation Department, who has been responsible for organizing our Memorial Day events, to make all the necessary invites, advertisements, create a program and organize for this service. The Recreation Department handed out flyers for the service at our August 25 Concert Series and created Facebook posts that same week advertising the event,” Hudak said.

The mayor added, “in fact, several members of the public including Mr. Hankins and some of our firemen shared our event

page on Facebook. In the end, unfortunately it appears that some organizations and departments were not directly notified of the event.”

“Because of that they felt they were not invited to attend, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In the haste to get this event organized, I now recognize that some things fell through the cracks. Nothing was done intentionally,” he added. “Our goal was to honor the memory of all those who were lost on September 11th, which included the tragic loss of many first responders. In the future I will work with our Township staff to ensure that more direct invites are sent to our departments and organizations.”

“Lastly, it was stated that our Police Department Honor Guard, paid Fire De-

partment and paid EMS were being paid overtime to attend this event. This is completely untrue; no Township staff were paid overtime in order to attend this event,” Hudak said.

He added, “our paid Fire Department and paid EMS requested to attend upon learning of the event through social media.

I wholeheartedly support our volunteer firefighters and fully appreciate their selfless dedication to the service they provide to our community.”

“It disheartens me that this was turned into a political attack, which has taken away from the purpose of holding such a service in town which was to remember the tragic loss we felt 20 years ago,” the mayor concluded.

Both clinics will provide the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine options and will accommodate immuno-

The Health Department records positive test results for COVID-19. The numbers in Ocean County were relatively low compared to other places in the country. At the end of August, the numbers started to come up to around 200 new cases a day. This is

about half as much as the county had during the worst of it, in the winter of 2020.

“The Manchester clinic site is another good location that will serve many of our senior residents living in that part of the county,” said Ocean County Commissioner Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “There are still many people that are in need of the first, second or now an additional and booster dose and we want to make sure people have convenient oppor-

Letters To The Editor Support Law For Alzheimer’s Care Providing care for an individual living with dementia involves many unique and often challenging elements.

As the caregiver of a spouse that suffered from Alzheimer’s, I understand how complicated it is to navigate this health care maze.

My husband developed younger onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 59. He had a successful career and was a wonderful person, husband, and father. The disease robbed him of the ability to enjoy our life together, to appreciate his child and grandchildren and experience the joy of seeing them grow, and made him unable to work. Watching him deteriorate from a strong, intelligent, and loving person was truly devastating for us.

The medical profession does not fully understand younger onset of Alzheimer’s/dementia which led to a lot of doctor-hopping and frustration. In addition, the loss of his income created a financial hardship for us.

The cost of care for my husband was beginning to

exceed my income and I was faced with weighing the cost of quitting my job versus the cost of keeping my job. In 2020, caregivers for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias provided an estimated 15.3 billion hours of care valued at nearly $257 billion.

Please join me and the Alzheimer’s Association in asking Congressman Chris Smith to co-sponsor the bi-partisan Comprehensive Care for Alzheimer’s Act (HR. 2517). The Act would create a path to better dementia care and address shortcomings in the way dementia care is currently delivered. Dementia care management allows people like me to more seamlessly navigate the health care and social support systems, and to obtain more timely access to care. Because comprehensive dementia care has been shown to reduce costs while providing better quality care, this legislation would also call on the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) to test a payment structure for dementia care management.

This topic is dear to the heart of people who suffer from, or care for people with Alzheimer’s/dementia and we are grateful for Congressman Smith’s continued attention and leadership for Alzheimer’s and Dementia legislation. To learn more about this disease and how you can join the fight to end Alzheimer’s, visit alzimpact.org.

exact minute I saw the fi rst explosion on TV and then minutes later the second explosion. I knew I had old friends, school mates and neighbors working in those towers. As I went to work in Manhattan each day on the ferry, I saw the towers shine in the morning sunlight. As a kid I watched them be built. It was a fascinating sight to watch the world’s tallest buildings under construction.

Take a moment to remember… when airport security was not as serious and tedious as it must be today. How we look over our shoulder when travelling in public places - is that backpack unattended?

If you haven’t been to the site in western PA, take a moment to visit Shanksville and the Flight 93 National Memorial. None of those people deserved what happened to them that day… not the fl ights into the Twin Towers nor the Pentagon. Regular people doing thei r nor mal thing on an abnormal day.

I will never forget the next day as well - the morning after. The Jersey Shore smelled like smoke. When I went out for the morning paper, it was obvious the wind had blown south. A week later I had to drive north on the Turnpike, and the smoke was still billowing from the site.

Weeks and months later, returning to visit Staten Island, I saw the piles of ruined fi re trucks and cars in the Fresh Kills landfi ll.

Now that we are at the 20th Anniversary, don’t forget you r neig hbor s, friends and fellow citizens

that died that day. And cherish your freedom.

Critical Race Theory Concerns Are Not Conspiracies Editor’s note: This is in response to an editorial written by the news editor pointing out that some people who come to Board of Education meetings are repeating QAnon conspiracies without realizing they are.

Aren’t you supposed to at least pretend that you are a neutral party? The only people, groups, conspiracy theorists that talk about QAnon are radical leftists. The fact that you wrote “QAnon and NBC reported . . .” solidifies exactly where you stand.

I attend School Board meetings, my general knowledge of “QAnon” is that it is some laughable group that does not get taken seriously; I could be wrong. However, I attend School Board meeting because I have three children in the school district and I want to make sure that they are not being manipulated by leftist indoctrination like Critical Race Theory. Call me whatever you want, QAnon, a conspiracy theorist, a whacko . . .. whatever, CRT is evil and divisive. My children are not oppressors and the black students of our community are NOT oppressed. Parents all over the country are hopping mad because we received a front row seat into exactly what our children were being taught in the public school system

during the countless classes that Zoomed into our homes over the last year and a half.

Parents that have to work, live in NJ and homeschool their children don’t have time for nonsense QAnon conspiracy theories, we have real problems.

Biden Checking Watch Issue Is Performative Outrage Editor’s note: This letter is in response to the backlash President Biden received after photos emerged of him checking his watch during a ceremony for soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

This “checking his watch” story is (expletive deleted). If at any point he might’ve blinked, they would blamed him for closing his eyes and refusing to look at the grieving families.

Remember, these are the same people who were upset that Obama dared to hold a latte.

Dared to wear a tan suit. Dared to play golf or put his feet up on his desk.

They’re a bunch of crybabies who can’t find anything real to be upset about because Joe Biden is actually doing a good job, working every day trying to help Americans.

So instead of covering the lives of those lost, about whom they pretend to care, they use the occasion as an excuse for completely moronic political points. Once again, Republicans and right-wing media disrespect our troops.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Local Lawmakers Speak Out Against Payroll Tax Increases To Fund Unemployment Capitol Comments Senator Jim Holzapfel 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River

TRENTON - Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and John Catalano (R-10th) are speaking out against Governor Murphy’s plan to replenish the unemployment insurance fund with a $250 million payroll tax hike on employers. The

10th District Legislators are criticizing the Governor for continuing to hurt businesses in the state.

“We are in this mess because of the Governor’s executive orders which delayed the reopening of many businesses and forced hundreds of thousands of pandemic unemployment claims to be filed,” Senator Holzapfel stated. “Our caucus urged Governor Murphy to divert $6.2 billion in federal American Rescue Plan aid to offset the unemployment payouts, however, our requests were

ignored and now our business owners are stuck with the bill.”

On Aug. 13, the state’s Department of Labor and Workforce Development posted a notice online that employers will have to begin paying a higher payroll tax rate to fund the depleted unemployment insurance program. According to the New Jersey Business & Industry Association, that tax hike kicks in on Oct. 1.

“This is yet another devastating blow to our business owners who have shut down for months on end, struggled to find staff to fill positions and now they’re being forced to pay another tax,” said Assemblyman

McGuckin. “There’s no doubt that this tax increase will have a ripple effect for years to come and we’ll see many more businesses either leave the state or close their doors forever.”

“Once again, Governor Murphy is doing his best to drive businesses out of New Jersey and saddle employers with another ridiculous tax increase to pay off massive unemployment debts,” Assemblyman Catalano added. “The Governor needs to take a hard look at how other states have successfully used their federal relief money to replenish their state’s unemployment insurance program without hurting employers.”

Senators Meet With Refugees At Joint Base Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

JOINT BASE McGUIRE-DIX-LAKEH U R ST, N. J. – U.S. Se nat or s Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Cory Booker (D-N.J.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Com-

“I am honored to extend a warm welcome to Afghan families ar riving in the United States who have endured immeasurable sacrifice and loss to reach our country,” said Sen.

bility to embrace our nation’s legacy as a bastion of hope for vulnerable and marginalized individuals f leeing this humanitarian crisis. I’m incredibly proud to see New Jersey continue that proud history by welcoming Afghan refugees arriving on US shores and am grateful to the airmen and women who have stood up and helped during this process. Robust resettlement efforts, particularly of those Afghans who risked their lives and the lives of their family members in support of our nation, are not only crucial to refugees’ safety, but also a point of pride, a ref lection of our fundamental values, a boost to our communities & a service to our nation’s strategic & humanitarian interests.”

“Throughout history, America has been a refuge for individuals f leeing war, persecution, and oppression. America must continue to shine as a beacon of light and hope for those most in need,” said Sen. Booker. “I was moved to meet with and hear the courageous stories of Afghan refugees, many of whom aided our country and our armed forces over the past 20 years. I also want to express my gratitude to the brave men and women who helped evacuate Americans and Afghans in harm’s way, and to Fort Dix and the State of New Jersey for providing shelter to thousands of refugees, and for helping to resettle Afghan families. We proudly welcome our Afghan brothers

and sisters with open arms and remain committed to supporting them as they become a part of our great state and nation.”

JBMDL, which began accepting Afghan refugees on August 25th, rapidly worked to increase their capabilities to shelter up to 10,000 refugees as part of a nationwide effort to increase refugee capacity at military bases across the country. JBMDL is currently sheltering 9,000 refugees who fondly refer to the base as “Liberty Village.”

JBMDL is one of four U.S. military facilities designated to house Afghan refugees due its capacity and the region’s ability to support them. The other bases are located in Wisconsin, Texas and Virginia. JBMDL previously sheltered about 4,000 Yugoslavian refugees in 1999.

While at JBMDL the senators toured the living facilities, medical screening facility, and dining facility and met with Maj. Gen. Mark D. Camerer, Commander of the Air Force Expeditionary Center, which is headquartered at JBMDL. Last month, Sen. Menendez led his colleagues in urging the Biden Administration to take swift, robust action to protect and support Afghan women leaders in the wake of the Taliban takeover in the country. The senator also applauded partner nations for hosting Afghan refugees seeking safe haven in the United States.

When someone’s nerves become injured and/or damaged, either through accident, infection, or exposure to drugs they can develop neuropathic pain, or neuropathy.

Do you Suffer with Chronic Neuropathic Pain?

It’s estimated that in the United States, more than 20 million people have some form of neuropathic pain. There are many reasons why Neuropathy can become dangerous, if left untreated…

How is Neuropathy Diagnosed?

Neuropathic conditions are diagnosed through a neurological clinic examination utilizing medical technology known as nerve conduction velocity testing and Electromyography (EMG). These diagnostic tests measure muscle response and electrical activity in

Experiencing Neuropathy...

People with neuropathy can experience different levels of pain, from tingling and numbness to debilitating burning and shooting pains. For some, neuropathic pain affects sleep, social activities, and even cause depression. Most commonly, pain occurs in the hands

and feet, but it can also affect other areas of the body. Diagnosing Neuropathy can sometimes be strange…where this condition can develop even when there is no obvious cause, and it may appear some time after the initial injury or infection. To compound the problem, this pain can be challenging to treat successfully, and it is associated with some serious compromise to one’s quality of life.

How many treatments have you tried that left you hopeless?

Healthcare professionals may offer a variety of treatments, including antidepressants, opioid pain relievers, and lifestyle changes, but neuropathic pain can often be resistant to treatment.

To make matters even worse, these treatments can also come with unwanted side effects. For example, taking opioid pain relievers can cause nausea and constipation, and there is also the risk of these drugs becoming addictive.

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – A driver was hospitalized with non-life threatening head trauma after his car went airborne and flipped over, police said.

Justin Thomas, 24, of Lakewood, was the only person in the Kia Forte when it crashed on the afternoon of September 9.

Police said the car was heading north on Route 539 when it drove onto the shoulder and up an embankment. This caused it to become airborne and overturn. It struck a tree and a utility pole before coming to rest on its roof.

When police arrived, Thomas was sitting

outside the vehicle. He was brought to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. The Kia was extensively damaged.

Assisting at the scene were EMTs from the Manchester Township Division of Emergency Services, as well as paramedics from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

Also assisting at the scene were members of the Manchester Township Division of Emergency Services Fire Department and Whiting Volunteer Fire Department.

The crash is being investigated by Patrolman Michael O’Hara of the department’s Traffic Safety Section.

7 Medications Have Interesting Off-Label Uses

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Medications aren’t always used for what they were intended for. Many drugs are FDA approved for one condition, but later on, after use on the mass population, new valuable uses are found for the same drug. Since it takes time and money to bring a drug to full FDA-approved status, the medications are simply ordered by physicians and other prescribing practitioners for what’s called an “off-label” use.

Physicians are most apt to prescribe off-label medications for children, or for patients facing life-threatening or terminal disorders. To give you an example of other off-label uses, take a look at these popular medications and their traditional approved use, as well as their off-label use. It’s interesting!

Ambien® (Zolpidem). America’s favorite sleeper! This medication is approved and indicated for insomnia, but it has an off-label use that some doctor’s know about. It minimizes jet lag when you fly to another time zone and you take it on the long overnight flight.

Glucophage® (Metformin). This is a block buster medication traditionally used to reduce blood sugar in people who have Type 2 diabetes. As for its off-label uses, it could help PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) symptoms.

Neurontin® (Gabapentin). Used conventionally for neuropathic pain, this drug has an off-label use for bipolar disorder, as well as restless legs syndrome.

Minipress® (Prazosin). This medication

is used to control high blood pressure, but off-label it is prescribed to help with nightmares that are associated with PTSD. Pamelor® (Nortriptyline). Nortriptyline is FDA approved and indicated for depression. This antidepressant is frequently prescribed for neuropathy, and to help people stop smoking.

Risperdal® (Risperidone). This is a medication approved to treat schizophrenia or acute manic phases of bipolar disorder.

It has an off-label use for OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) as well as symptoms of autism and Tourette’s syndrome.

Pepcid® (Famotidine). This is a commonly used medication for heartburn and reflux, and it’s sold over-the-counter in the United States. When it comes to off-label uses, famotidine is prescribed to reduce gastritis symptoms associated with non-steroidal drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen.

The list of off-label uses above is the tip of the iceberg. This phenomena is fascinating and it clearly demonstrates the importance of utilizing unapproved drugs to help with conditions that don’t respond to traditional remedies. Using a drug for its off-label use may spawn ethical question for some of you.

In other words, would you be afraid of taking medications that are not FDA-approved?

Or would this concern be minimized if your pain level was high enough to try it, for example? It’s a discussion to have with your own practitioner. If you’d like to read the longer version of this article, I can email it to you. Please sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Unvaccinated Are Nearly 6x More Likely To Be Hospitalized PR I NCETON – T hose who a re unvaccinated were nearly six times more likely to be hospitalized with severe COVID illness in August than those who have received the vaccine, according to a New Jersey Hospital Association analysis of COVID hospitalizations.

Nearly three in every four patients hospitalized with COVID, or 73.3 percent, had not received a single dose of the vaccine, according to data reported

by N.J. hospitals through the NJHA COVID-19 Data Portal. A new bulletin from NJHA’s Center for Health Analytics, Research and Transfor mation

provides a snapshot view of data from August 31, as repor ted by hospitals th rough the NJ H A COV ID -19 Dat a Portal.

The full breakdown of the vaccination status of hospitalized COVID patients shows: • 73.3 percent are not vaccinated

• 23.7 percent are fully vaccinated • 3 percent are partially vaccinated.

With nearly 5.6 million fully vaccinated individuals in New Jersey and 2.7 million still unvaccinated, the roughly 265 vaccinated patients and 730 unvaccinated patients this August equate to a hospitalization rate of 4.33 per 100,000 for the fully vaccinated and 26.33 per 100,000 for the unvaccinated. All told, the unvaccinated are nearly 6 times more vulnerable to serious COVID illness that lands them in a hospital bed.

“The data confirms once again: Vaccination is the strongest weapon we have to protect against serious COVID illness and hospitalization,” said NJHA President a nd CEO Cathy Ben net t.

“Our state is experiencing a new inf lux of COVID patients, but this increase is different than our earlier surges – because now we know that many of these hospitalizations are preventable simply by getting the safe and effective COVID vaccine.”

Just eight weeks ago, New Jersey marked an all-pandemic low of 267 hospitalized COVID patients on July 2. That number has climbed with the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant; on August 26, N.J. hospitals again surpassed the milestone of 1,000 COVID patients in their care, and the number continues to rise, standing at 1,065 on September 1.

NJ H A also analyzed COVID hospitalizations and vaccination by age.

Recent weeks have seen the number of pediatric cases in New Jersey rise as a proportion of total COVID hospitalizations from 1.13 percent in the first three months of 2021 to 1.93 percent by the end of June. Among ages 0-17, 76.9 percent of those hospitalized with COVID are not vaccinated, compared with 23.1 percent who are fully vaccinated. Those numbers ref lect that vaccination is available beginning at age 12 under an emergency use authorization for the Pfizer vaccine. There is no vaccination available for ages 0-12 at this time.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

Michael J. Deem, Esq.

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide

compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured.

The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident.

The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim.

You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Dear Joel, My daughter-in-law is a terrible cook.

She announced that she wants to do Thanksgiving this year, and we all just looked at each other. So how do we tell her we only need one turkey in the kitchen?

Answer: Have an early Thanksgiving! Schedule a dry run for late October or early November and tell her that good cooks practice just like athletes. Maybe when she sees how much work goes into it, she’ll change her mind. If not, ask

e ve r yo n e t o share a recipe to help her out.

Maybe they can even bring a dish since it will be her fi rst time.

Document Shredding To Be Held Throughout County

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – The free Ocean County Residential Document Shredding Program continues this year.

Ocean County Board of Commissioners Director Gary Quinn said “this very popular program moves around the county providing a layer of safety from identity theft.”

Quinn also serves as liaison to the County’s recycling program and Solid Waste Management. “This is an opportunity to rid your home of papers that may include sensitive information that should be shredded rather than just tossed into recycling. Last year we recycled 94 tons of residential documents with this program,” Quinn said. “That is in addition to all the paper that goes to our recycling centers.”

The 2021 event will be serviced by IDSAutoshred of Toms River. The locations are: • Island Heights, Parking Lot, 1 Wanamaker Complex, 9 a.m. to noon, Sept. 18.

• Brick Township Public Works Yard Lot, 836 Ridge Road, 9 a.m. to noon, Sept. 25.

• Beachwood Municipal Complex Lot, 1600 Pinewald Road, 9 a.m. to noon, Oct. 2.

• Beach Haven Parking Lot, Taylor Ave, 9 a.m. to noon, Oct. 16.

• Lacey Township Recycling Center Lot, 820 Municipal Lane, Lanoka Harbor, 9 a.m. to noon, Oct. 23 The free shredding events will run the entire time listed or until the truck is full. The truck has a capacity to hold 10,000 pounds of paper. The program is free to residents only.

Commercial documents will not be accepted at the collection sites.

“I encourage our residents to attend any of the sites available during this year’s program.

You are not limited to which sites you can attend. We hold it across the county to make certain it’s convenient for our residents,” Quinn said.

Registration is not required. Quinn noted however that the program is very popular and often sites fill up quickly. The shred units feature an automatic feeding and dumping system that eliminates human contact with private documents. Residents are limited to five file boxes or 100 pounds of confidential documents per vehicle.

Pandemic requirements are still in effect.

Residents must wear face coverings and stay in vehicles at all times. Materials should be in the trunk, cargo area or truck bed, easily accessible to the staff who will remove it from your vehicle.

The program includes all paper documents and paper forms; paper clips and staples need not be removed. Unacceptable items include magazines, books, junk mail, hanging file folders, greeting cards, photos, x-rays, CDs, floppy disks, microfilm, shredded paper and garbage.

Residents who prefer to shred documents at

home, Ocean County offers drop-off boxes at both County recycling centers for shredded office paper. Shredded office paper should not be placed with curbside recyclables, and should instead be brought to the drop-off boxes (near Building 105 at the Ocean County Southern Recycling Center in Stafford Township or Building 68 at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center in Lakewood) for recycling.

Shredded paper cannot be effectively sorted

by Ocean County’s Recyclable Materials Processing Facility and therefore needs to be recycled separately in order to produce a viable, marketable commodity.

“Ocean County offers a number of programs to make recycling convenient. Recycling, helps to save landfill space and protects the environment. We encourage our citizens to take advantage of the programs offered and to help make a difference in preserving our natural resources,” Quinn added.

Around The Jersey Shore Teach Children About Dangers Of Drug Use

NEWARK – With schools returning to full in-person classes, the Drug Enforcement Administration New Jersey Division is asking parents to speak to their children about the dangers of drug use.

“This is a great time for parents to sit down with their children to speak to them about the dangers of drug use,” said DEA New Jersey Division Special Agent in Charge Susan A. Gibson. “Students are returning to a normal class schedule and to their social circles. They could now face new challenges related to peer pressure to experiment with substances.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were more than 92,000 drug overdose deaths in the U.S. in 2020. This is the largest amount of overdose deaths ever in a 12-month period. Opioids accounted for more than 68,000 of those deaths. Synthetic opioids, such as illicitly manufactured fentanyl, remain the primary driver for the increases in drug overdose deaths.

Another significant concern is the increase in counterfeit pills flooding the illegal drug market. The drug cartels

are capitalizing on the opioid epidemic and manufacturing mass quantities of counterfeit prescription pills containing fentanyl and sending them to the United States for distribution. Counterfeit pills are extremely dangerous and often have the same markings of legitimate prescription medications such as Oxycodone, Xanax and Adderall. The user is most likely unaware they are counterfeit and of how lethal they are.

“It is very important to talk to your family members per iodically about these dangers.” Gibson said. “Kids need to know that taking one counterfeit pill could be enough to cause a fatal overdose.

The earlier that we can get this information to kids the more impactful it can be that they will make better and possibly life-saving choices in the future. Those that are selling these drugs do not care about the health and well-being of your child. These conversations can be enough to save a life.”

Families who have yet to recover from the pandemic simply cannot afford the expense of what’s necessary for school while also trying to put food on the table,” said Lauren Holman, Fulfill’s Board Chair.

Pamela, a mother of two from Asbury Park, said, “It helps me, the pocketbook. Everything is so expensive with COVID. The prices went up. Thank you for the backpacks and supplies, they did need them.”

Freedom Daniels, a father from Long Branch, said, “It helps a lot because they go through all of this stuff so fast.” As his daughters unzipped their new backpacks and checked out their school supplies on their porch with smiles on their faces, he added, “It’s a beautiful thing.

We appreciate it, we really do.”

“We try to give people as much value as possible, and

that really separates us from some of the other hearing care professionals out there,” Better hearing is a priceless gift!

Dr. Kirsh said.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE “Let’s Talk” With Dr. Jani

By Michael Vandenberg “ T h e e r a of p ate r n a l i s tic medicine where I’m the doctor, you’re the patient, and you’re going to do this bec ause I say so is long gone,” Dr. Samir Jani said to me recently. “That’s just not the way I was trained.”

When it comes to your health, shouldn’t you be in the driver’s seat? That’s certainly the guiding philosophy passed down by Garden State Medic al Center ’s founder, Dr. Dharam Mann, and it’s what makes Dr. Jani the perfect f it here. He wants to use his expertise and impart his knowledge to help you make an informed decision about your pain management.

And there’s no question that Dr. Jani has plenty of information to share because he checks all the boxes when it comes to education. At age 17 he was already accepted into a higher education program that included a guaranteed spot in medical school. He kept a high GPA while taking his courses at an accelerated rate that allowed him to finish a year early. Then he jumped right into residencies and a fellowship focusing on pain, anesthesiology, and internal medicine, culminating in his current specialty of Interventional Pain Management. He finished his fellowship and began practicing in 2016, making his way to GSMC the following year.

Dr. Jani pointed to a variety of reasons as to why he decided to make the switch to GSMC. For one thing, it fosters a seamless team environment. “The support and infrastructure of the practice is huge,” like the large network of staff on hand, to the electronic rec ord keeping. With those tasks already being taken care of, Dr. Jani is able to put his entire focus on alleviating your pain.

After all, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of urgency when it comes to pain management because people are running out of options by the time they come to

him. Most of Dr. Jani’s patients are those who have seen countless doctors and had lots of tests but have never b een able to f ind a diagnosis and fix the underlying cause. “My ankle hurts,” Dr. Jani said as a general example. “I’ve seen ten podiatrists, I’ve had six ankle surgeries, and no one’s fixed it.” But even though it may never be fixed, “there are things we can do to at least help you get rid of the pain”.

Thankfully, Dr. Jani is not the type of doctor who just throws pills at the problem; he has a ver y strict interpretation of the related safety regulations. Not that he doesn’t use medications at all, but it’s only a tiny part of what he can do. “We’re highly inter ventional,” said Dr. Jani. He can target the pain with various injections, or hide the pain using electricity to target different stimulators in the nervous system. By implanting pain pumps, the medication is delivered directly to your spine, creating a much stronger effect.

It all depends on the severity and longevity of the pain.

These steps may seem elaborate, but rest assured Dr. Jani is conservative in his relief suggestions. “I always tell patients that if I don’t have to do something, I don’t want to do it. So if I can make it go away with a two minute injection, that’s what I’m going

to do,” he said. If that doesn’t work, then Dr. Jani will happily go over additional minimally invasive options with you. He might even just recommend

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 18 - sept 24

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Pull out the list of things you were going to “think about later,” as you now have the imagination to visualize results. Expect to enjoy smooth sailing with both relationships and finances in the second half of the week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can be a live wire whether you’re entertaining a romantic partner or mingling in a crowd. However, in the upcoming week, your serious obligations could interfere with your freedom to socialize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t explain, don’t complain. A brief period of misunderstandings may put relationships in a tailspin early this week. This should pass, and then you’ll have an opportunity to share your affections.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t be a wallflower in the week ahead. Enjoy working with talented, imaginative people. If you don’t immediately receive the warm responses you expect from loved ones, be patient and take time for self-care.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Push past discouragement. Take any doubts and concerns seriously before they trip you up. You may suspect that someone is envious of you, but in the week ahead, you may have a chance to win them over to your side.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Not everyone has strong powers of empathy. If they don’t get it, explain it to them. In the week ahead, think for yourself rather than going along with the crowd. By midweek you may be empowered to put plans into motion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Drum up

support from friends and promote your dreams in the week to come. Someone is likely to provide the helping hand you need to get projects off the ground. Don’t waste time debating the fine points.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Ignore an itch to adjust plans. Someone close may want the freedom to do their own thing, so relax and avoid placing restraints on loved ones. The grapevine might be buzzing about you in the upcoming week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Embrace inspiration. You may be motivated by material ambitions and can achieve financial security through hard work. Promises and agreements that are too easy to attain may not go as planned in the first half of the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your ego in check and give yourself plenty of self-validation. Your sterling work ethic is what will gain the most attention in the week ahead.

Ignoring social activities and pleasantries can create problems.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Out with the old and in with the new. Old conditions and friendships could fall apart due to differences of opinion or dissimilar political views. Avoid making important financial decisions or promises early in the week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): An internal tug-of-war may leak out and affect your relationships as the week begins. Human inconsistencies are a symptom of human nature, so keep your expectations realistic. A partner’s well-meant advice is worth hearing.
