Jersey Shore Native Vic Morrow Remembered 40 Years After Tragic Death

By Bob Vosseller and Jason Allentoff N EW J ER SEY – When you think of Garden State celebrities both living and dead, the names Frank Sinatra, Abbot & Costello, Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi come to mind but a Jersey actor who grew up locally is often

forgotten. The cause of his death, however, remains a subject of controversy to this day.

Actor Vic Morrow was well known for his role in the 1960s TV series “Combat” which was a World War II military drama. Ironically, it was on July 23, 1982, that Morrow died while

filming a recreation of a battle scene from the Vietnam War for “Twilight Zone: The Movie.”

Local radio personality Big Jay Sorenson told Jersey Shore Online.com “starting in 1965, I delivered the Lakewood Daily Times and the Asbury Park (Vic - See Page 5)

Beach Buggy Access Changing

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has requested a shortened season for allowing four-wheeldrive vehicles to operate on township beaches as part of Brick’s Beach Management Plan.

Beach buggies were previously permitted on township beaches from October 1 through April 30. The revised ordinance would protect federally and state-listed plant species, and would allow the vehicles to operate until March

15 with assurances that no driving will occur in plant-protected areas until November 30.

“This plan is a requirement for the beach replenishment project,” said Councilman Art Halloran during the most recent Council meeting. “In its review, Fish & Wildlife made a comment specific to the township’s beach buggy ordinance.”

The amended ordinance would be implemented either through notification as part of the permit process or (Buggy - See Page 2)

“He never liked to see anyone alone or hurting.

He always stepped up to be that person’s friend,” Eileen added.

The CulleyStrong Foundation was created in 2019 in honor of Sean, who took his own life that same year.

“The foundation started in memory of Sean Culley, who was 19 years old at the time and was a freshman and the University of Kentucky. He was my son’s best friend since they were about 4 years old,” said Jim Clabby, one of the founders of the CulleyStrong Foundation. “Sean unfortunately died by suicide in January of 2019. That’s how the

CulleyStrong Foundation came to be. My wife, friends and Eileen and Stephen Culley, Sean’s parents, all wanted to do something and bring awareness to mental health issues. Sean had dealt with some depression and that was ultimately what caused him to do what he did.”

The CulleyStrong Foundation started fundraising with the goal to bring awareness to mental health and doing anything they could to start reducing the statistics of suicide. Especially among young people like Sean.

On June 25, they held their 2nd annual “You Are Not Alone” 5k Run & Walk at the Wall Township municipal complex athletic fields.

About 300 people participated in the 5K run and walk, and the Foundation raised around $29,000.

“I was very humbled and touched by all the support throughout this event. This year we had multiple people who no one from our

foundation knew. They were there to support the cause. So many people came to me and said ‘you’re doing great things,’” Eileen said.

Back in March, the CulleyStrong Foundation purchased two service dogs and provided them to local veterans in need. This was one of their many projects they do throughout the year and plan to continue on in future years.

“It was really nice that Don and ‘Sam,’ the service dog we donated to Don back in March, came to the run to show his support,” said Stephen Culley, Sean’s father. “A woman from the Black Poster Project also came to share information at the event and show support.”

The Black Poster Project sets up somber displays, where each poster is a silent memorial to a person who lost their lives to addiction.

“We are very grateful, and we thank all of our sponsors, our donors, and everyone that came out to support such a great cause. The funds

that were raised will allow us to continue to directly support our immediate community here in Monmouth and Ocean counties by carrying on our mission to support suicide prevention, bringing much needed awareness to mental health issues, and to keep helping our community members struggling with these issues. The CulleyStrong Foundation plans on continuing our initiative of providing service dogs to vets and other members of our community dealing with PTSD or other mental health issues, and we also have plans to bring significant mental health resources to schools in our community,” Clabby said.

The overall winners of the 2nd annual “You Are Not Alone” 5k Run & Walk were Tim McInerney of Wall Township and Meagan Drapkin of Brick Township.

Road Paving In other news, the governing body awarded a contract to Earle Asphalt Company of Farmingdale for Phase II of roadway resurfacing of some of the roads in Point Pleasant Manor, which is also known as the president streets.

The $713,913 contract includes the milling and resurfacing of Washington Drive, Adams Avenue, Jefferson Drive, Truman Drive, Taft Avenue and Taft Court. The contract includes drainage improvements to Truman Drive.

Bid notices were provided to 77 prospective

bidders from the township’s Bidder’s List. 11 picked up bid packages, and six contractors submitted bids ranging from the low awarded bid up to $1,179,732.

“I’m sure the residents out there on those streets are looking forward to this project getting underway and being completed,” said Mayor John G. Ducey.

Flood-Prone Roads The council also awarded a $200,000 two-year contract for the purchase and delivery of flood control valves to Wapro Inc. of Chicago, Illinois to be used to mitigate flooding in some of the township’s low-lying roads.

“This is a continuation of our efforts to try to alleviate the sunny-day flooding problem that

we have here in town,” the mayor said.

“Last year we spent $300,000 on the check valves; this was after we did a little bit over a year of study on one particular check valve, which was successful in stopping the water from coming up during high tides,” Mayor Ducey said.

This is a not-to-exceed contract for a variety of sized flood control valves as needed throughout the township, the mayor explained.

Wapro, Inc. was the only bid received. “We were happy that we found that company because we had tried other check valves in the past and they did not work,” the mayor said.

The next council meeting will be on Tuesday, July 26 at 7 p.m.

Vic:

Continued From Page 1 Press to his parents’ home. I mentioned that my dad and I watched ‘Combat’ on TV. “His mom asked me in to see pictures of Vic one day. His parents lived on Central Avenue in Lakewood. I got an autograph; but I never met Vic as he was usually in Hollywood. I don’t think they lived there that long,” Sorenson added.

Sorenson said, “I do remember fi nding out about Vic’s death while watching TV news when we lived in Pine Lake Park in Manchester.”

A July 25, 1982 edition of the Asbury Park Press featured an interview with Eddie Bodeep, who opened the doors of his cab to many famous figures in the 1950s like Bob Hope. He said in the article that before Morrow’s career took off, he would ride his cab but couldn’t always pay the 50-cent fare.

“I will never forget him. He didn’t always have the money to pay me but he always would. His father was a carpenter and if Vic couldn’t pay me his dad always would.

Vic always said he wanted to make it in acting,” Bodeep said.

“He didn’t talk too much. He was a great guy and I used to watch all his TV shows and movies when he did become famous,” the retired cabbie was quoted saying.

Tom Chesek of the Asbury Park Historical Society, told Jersey Shore Online that while Morrow wasn’t originally from Asbury Park, that it was important for people to know that he was part of the

The Brick Times, July 23, 2022, Page 5 rich heritage of celebrities and interesting people who lived in the community.

“His time here was during his high school days. After that he was elsewhere. I once worked on an exhibit that featured Vic for a boardwalk storefront,” Chesek added.

While locals wanted to see their hometown hero’s star continue to rise, his career was cut short in an instance of Hollywood greed.

A Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter crashed at Indian Dunes in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, during the making of “Twilight Zone: The Movie.” Morrow was decapitated and child actors Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen were also killed. Six helicopter passengers were also injured.

What followed was years of civil and criminal legal action against the personnel overseeing the shoot, including well known director John Landis.

The film featured four individual story segments designed to recreate the tone and style of the original Twilight Zone TV series created and hosted by Rod Serling.

Morrow’s segment was the first story, called “Time Out” and his character Bill Connor was transported back in time to the Vietnam War, where he has become a Vietnamese man protecting two children from American troops.

It was widely reported that Landis, who directed this segment, violated California’s child labor laws by hiring seven-year-old Myca Dinh Le and six-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen without the required permits. Landis and several other members of the film staff were also responsible for

a number of labor violations connected with others involved in the accident, which came to light later.

The children were hired after Peter WeiTeh Chen, Renee’s uncle, was approached by a colleague whose wife was a production secretary for the film. Chen fi rst thought of his brother’s daughter Renee, whose parents agreed to let her participate.

Chen then contacted Daniel Le, a Vietnamese colleague, whose son Myca was very outgoing and loved posing for photographs. The boy’s parents believed he would be interested. Chen later testified that he was never informed that either of the children would be in proximity to a helicopter or explosives Both children were paid off the books to circumvent state law, which did not permit children to work in the evening. Landis didn’t seek a special waiver because he did not think that he would get permission for such a late hour filming session nor approval to have young children in a scene with a large number of explosives.

Casting agents were also said to be unaware that the children would be involved in the scene. Associate producer George Folsey Jr. told the children’s parents not to tell any fi refighters on the set that the children were part of the scene, and hid them from a fi re safety officer who also worked as a welfare worker.

It was also reported that a fi re safety officer was concerned that the blasts would cause a crash but he failed to discuss this with Landis.

New safety protocols were put into place

by the film industry following this incident but occurrences like the October 2021 shooting on the set of the film “Rust” have renewed focus on enforcement of safety procedures in film productions.

That incident involved actor Alec Baldwin, the film’s lead, who fi red a prop gun that contained live ammunition that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The film’s director Joel Souza was also injured by the same projectile during the preparation of that scene.

Car rie Mor row was Vic Mor row’s daughter. Her wife, Kathy Lopez, spoke with Jersey Shore Online. Carrie Morrow passed away in 2016.

“I never got to meet him. I met Carrie when we were both seeking some mental health help and that is where I fi rst learned her story about her dad.” She said during a session with psychic John Edwards, “It was really fascinating. I think he came through because he said things about my life that no one could have ever known. I felt like I knew Vic. I felt like I had a connection though it was not through Carrie.

“Most of what I knew about Vic was what she told me and her experiences. She encouraged him to keep going on with his career. He wanted to take a different direction and get more into to it. She really encouraged him to go ahead and do ‘The Twilight Zone,’” Lopez said.

“She felt a lot of regret over doing that when everything turned out as it did. They had her go out to the site and his bracelet that he had been wearing - they found it

“She felt responsible for encouraging him. Survivor’s guilt. They were best friends. They were really, really close,” Lopez added.

Morrow had a different relationship with his other daughter, actress Jennifer Jason Leigh. According to Lopez, he was in the process of reconciling differences he had with her just prior to his death.

Both daughters attended the funeral.

“There were differences between their parents. Jenny sided with her mom, Barbara Turner, Carrie sided with her dad.

Jenny always held that against Carrie because Carrie openly loved her father no matter what. Jenny couldn’t stand him because of drugs and the constant fighting back and forth. I think they would have reconciled completely. I think they could have worked through all that,” Lopez added.

Morrow’s daughters never received any apology from John Landis about the death of her father. “He has such power in Hollywood that the sense I got was that Jennifer was afraid for her career and she was grieving terribly,” Lopez

Rides lit up the evening sky as hair bands played from the speakers. Smoke from the grills hissed and filled the air with the scent of barbecue. Booths sold clothes, toys, and stuffed animals. Still other booths were there to spread the word about their products or county organizations.

Kids could make sand art. For those who wanted to be an art project, they could go to the henna tattoo or face painting booths.

“We haven’t had it for two years. We didn’t want to see it go away,” said Helen Ferraro, a long-time volunteer with the fair. She became acting Fair Chairperson after the death Jeff Adams a few months ago. Sadly, he did not get to see the fair come back.

The 2020 fair would have been the 73rd year of the fair. The only years they missed were 2020 and 2021.

“There are some staples that people ask for every year,” she said, like Bwana Jim, the wildlife expert who lets kids get up close and personal with snakes and other critters.

“She did agree to take the settlement from the lawsuit. It wasn’t anywhere near compensation for what had happened,” Lopez added.

Lopez said the daughters felt if they did not allow Landis to give the eulogy, “and act like they supported everything, then she would feel the backlash and get blacklisted. A lot of these things just had a life of their own.”

“He didn’t suggest anything, he just put himself in places he wasn’t supposed to be but with everybody looking, careers on the line, people’s reputations, all that money, that is what Carrie didn’t like,” Lopez said. “She could see how manipulative that whole system was.”

Lopez said Carrie “was like her dad.

She loved everybody and he would love you for what you were. I don’t believe Jenny got any kind of closure. I think it is a thing that is still a thorn in her side.

Lopez said that Carrie would want her father remembered not only for his acting but “I think she would want them to know that he loved people and his fans, not in a way of what they gave him but in what they were sharing together, taking them back to a time, giving them comfort. He was able to create that for people.”

this year’s Dynamo Dogs was new. There was a new ride vendor, Campy’s Blue Star Amusements.

The 4-H was looking forward to being back as well, said Amelia Valente, 4-H Program Associate and Laura Ferrie, 4-H Program Assistant.

“It’s the capstone to our year. The kids work really hard on their projects and now they can show them off,” Valente said.

“It’s a fun time for them to feel proud and accomplished.”

As a leader in the organization, she said it’s rewarding to have a kid who is shy in September and watch them talk to the public about their pet or craft.

The fair is a great recruitment tool, as local children see what the group is all about, she said. Whatever interests the child has, 4-H can find some kind of youth development for them. Without the fair, it was hard to meet prospective members.

The 4-H tent had a score of projects the kids have been working on all year. Cages and pens contained fowl, rabbits, goats, and more. The air was humid and dense from a very brief rain storm earlier in the day, but there was a nice breath of cool air as you walked past the fans. The presentations were educational as well, teaching people such topics as how to prepare your pets for an emergency evacuation.

State Budget Appropriated $28.8 Million For Mental Health Crisis Response From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – A majority of New Jersey adults and a growing number of young people experience mental health problems, a nationwide behavioral health crisis that has only been exacerbated in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Joined by Acting Governor Sheila Y. Oliver at Raritan Bay Medical Center, Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin held a press conference to highlight comprehensive mental health care crisis response funding in the historic Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) State Budget, signed

by Governor Phil Murphy on June 30, 2022. The FY23 budget appropriated $28.8 million – $12.8 million for 988 implementation and $16 million for mobile crisis response to support individuals in crisis who need in-person care.

“We are at a critical point in our response to mental health crisis and our investments into a robust continuum of care begins with the launch of 988, which is going to ensure every person in ever y com munit y can access the individualized care they need,” said Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin (D-Middlesex). “Alongside crisis response, we also invested broadly in

c o m m u n it y s e r v i c e s a s well as critical food assistance and housing initiatives, which are all tied to mental wellbeing and vital to our commitment to prioritize the needs of people and families all across our state.”

At the outset of his third term, Speaker Coughlin identified mental health among his top priorities for the 220th legislative session. Working together, the Mur phy Administration and the New Jersey Legislature were able to allocate funds in this year’s State Budget that will not only help to transform crisis care for New Jerseyans, but will also advance the pr ior it y to ensu re c omp a s sion at e a nd c omp r ehe n sive mental health care is accessible.

The 988 hotline is available 24/7 for call, text, or chat for those experiencing a mental health-related or suicidal crisis, or those looking to help a loved one through a crisis. The existing Lifeline number, 1-800-273-8255, will also continue to be available.

“Saturday’s launch of the 9-8-8 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is an incredible advancement in access to coordinated care for our state. This easy-to-remember number will give New Jerseyans experiencing a mental health or suicidal crisis access to free and confidential support via call, text or chat, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” said Acting Governor Sheila Y. Oliver.

“The Mur phy Administration, along with the New Jersey Legislature, have prioritized the mental health needs of residents and worked tirelessly to support New Jerseyans who are struggling.

Over $28 million has been allocated in the FY2023 budget to support the infrastructure of the new lifeline and launch new mobile crisis response teams for those in need of in-person support.”

Enabling legislation (A-2036/S-311) signed into law by Governor Murphy on June 30, 2022 will ensure New Jerseyans with behavioral health needs will be able to access the appropriate specialized care they require. In addition to the hotline, 988 will develop capacity to dispatch mobile mental health crisis response teams. As a whole, the service will help to fill the gaps in the community crisis care system.

“The increasing number of people experiencing mental health problems is a quiet crisis that has grown worse during the coronavir us pandemic. It harms the lives and livelihoods of people in all walks of life, including young people,” said Senator Joseph F. Vitale, chair of the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee.

“With this year’s budget and the passage of S-311, we are acting to bring more at tention to the issue, deliver more resources, increase the number of behavioral health professionals and create a robust crisis response system to help those in need. Too often, our neighbors, families and friends who

may be in crisis are forced to bear their anguish silently, and alone. By joining the nationwide effort to prevent suicide and other negative behavioral health outcomes, our state will be able to offer those suffering most a literal lifeline, and immediate help by dialing 988.”

“As a mother who lost her precious 16-year-old son T.J. to suicide 11 years ago, I am grateful to our NJ Legislators for understanding the importance of 988 and the com munit y ser vices and infrastructure that need to be reinforced to create a system that will help instead of hurt and that they have put critical funding behind this initiative,” said Wendy Sefcik, chair of the NJ Youth Suicide Prevention Advisory Council. “In the event of a mental health crisis, ever yone should know who to call, who will respond and have somewhere to go.”

New Jersey has taken several steps to improve access to behavioral health care over the years: expanding mental health early inter vention prog rams, issuing licenses for additional treatment beds, promoting measures to improve access to substance use disorder treatment and suppor t ser vices, and working to expand readily available access to behavioral health treatment providers.

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

3 Alternatives To That Gross Kitchen Sponge!

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

You won’t like hearing this but your kitchen sponge has more bacteria than a laboratory petri dish! It’s a better incubator for germs than the lab’s traditional agar plate!

So, if you’re worried about catching food poisoning from undercooked meat, the odds are far, higher if you clean your dishes with a dirty sponge! I say that because about 5% of raw chicken sold in supermarkets may be contaminated with Salmonella, according to the latest data. Compare that with a microbial paradise like a sponge that could house 54 billion bacteria in every cubic centimeter.

That’s the size of a sugar cube!

A dirty kitchen sponge can lead to a variety of symptoms that are hard to diagnose.

That’s because the clinical presentation of diarrhea, fever, and fatigue is going to look like a lot of things! Certainly, sponge-related illness is never going to come up! It’s almost 100 percent of the time chalked up to “food poisoning.” Here are some of the germs living on your sponge: Campylobacter. This could cause diarrhea. People typically get an infection of this from undercooked (or raw) chicken, unpasteurized milk or contaminated lettuce or vegetables. Those who become ill from this can expect loose stools, abdominal pain, fever, and feeling queasy.

Enterobacter cloacae. Germophobes beware, this guy lives in your gut as part of your normal intestinal flora! It’s not considered dangerous unless you become immunocompromised. It’s also a common nosocomial infection… the kind you get while you’re

in the hospital. Then it will rise up with all its glory and attack your skin, respiratory tract, internal organs, and blood. It can cause endocarditis and pneumonia.

E. coli. People who become infected with E. coli have the usual stomach complaints that look like food poisoning. To be clear, E. coli can be transmitted from raw or undercooked ground beef, raw milk, some cheese, or contaminated vegetables. Most cases include a mild fever, painful stomach cramping, diarrhea (often tinged with blood), and nausea/vomiting. It may cause life-threatening symptoms so always visit a doctor if you become short of breath, weak, or develop a nosebleed or decreased urination.

Other organisms that a sponge can harbor include Klebsiella, Staphylococcus and Moraxella osloensis. That last one is the same bug responsible for the malodor of wet laundry!

Here are 3 reasonable alternatives to a sponge: There are many options if you are grossed out about using your sponge. Like one of my friends said, “It’s a love-hate relationship.”

1. Use a scrub brush with bristles. You can put those in a dishwasher. The advantage is that they do not have nooks and crannies like a sponge, so they harbor fewer organisms.

2. Use a dishwasher, but be aware that the soaps all have a bunch of chemicals!

3. Microwave a wet sponge every week.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Consider A Caregiver Agreement

Marc S. Galella Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates A Caregiver Agreement is a written contract entered into between a person needing care and a person providing care. Usually, the Caregiver Agreement is between an adult child and a parent, a relative or a friend. Through the use of a Caregiver Agreement, the disabled or elderly person can transfer money to family members as compensation rather than as a gift.

A properly prepared Agreement specifically lists what services the child is to provide to the parent and at what price.

The Agreement must be in writing and entered into before the compensated services are rendered. Since the caregiver child is getting “paid” they must report the income for tax purposes. In some cases, the parent may be able to deduct the payments as a medical expense.

The advantages of having a Caregiver Agreement include establishing clear caregiver compensation, providing a practical housing arrangement and assisting a Medicaid plan.

Family members overwhelmingly provide the care for elderly and disabled loved ones at home. Although it’s a labor of love, taking care of ailing loved ones also has a market value, meaning that caretakers can be paid as a way to protect assets.

It’s only fair that the child who is caring for the parent should be paid for the services. When a caregiver’s compensation is memorialized in a legal document, allegations by other siblings are minimized because the contract spells out the details.

Further, to protect family relationships, it’s recommended that all family mem-

bers agree with the Arrangement even if they are not parties to the agreement.

By having a Caregiver Agreement, the parent may be able to avoid a nursing facility by providing for the parent to be able to remain in the parent’s home or the home of the caregiver instead of a nursing facility.

A Caregiver Agreement can also be part of a Medicaid plan. As long as the Agreement is correctly drafted, and both parties abide by its terms, funds payable to the caregiver under the Agreement will accelerate Medicaid eligibility. Since payments are made for the services rendered, they should not be treated as gifts.

This will thwart Medicaid penalties as a result of giving money directly to the caregiver child. Since caregiver agreements transfer money over a period of time, they are better entered into sooner rather than later.

The child should consider the following points if the child feels uncomfortable about taking money to care for the parent: • A third-party caregiver would get paid for caring and giving room and board to the parent; • If the parent were to apply for Medicaid, money that the child could have been paid for legitimately caring for their parent will instead be paid to the nursing home as part of a Medicaid spend down.

A proper Caregiver Agreement can be a valuable elder-law planning tool in the right circumstances. Contact our office to see if a Caregiver Agreement makes sense for you.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

BRICK – The Brick Township Historical Society members were pleased to have R ick Bot t, ow ner of Mer r i Ma kers, a cater i ng busi ness at 511 Herbertsville Road in Brick, donate the sign from Allen Farms, the previous long-time business on the property, to the Society. Allen Farms was originally opened by Herb Allen in the 1940s as a vegetable and f lower farm. Allen died in 1997, and his daughter Kim Allen Amos and her husband, the late Bert Amos, ran the business in later years.

The sign hung on a retail building on the property.

The late Peter Benninger, long time Br ick re side nt , re alt or a nd for me r owner of the Herbertsville Deli on Herbertsville Road arranged the sale from Ms. Allen-Amos to Bott. Benninger felt Bott’s business would be perfect for the area and an asset for Brick.

He suggested to Bott that he consider donating the Allen Farms sign to the h istor ical societ y wh ich is located at 521 Herber t sv ille Road , ma k i ng

it literally the next proper ty on the road. Bott remarked he and Benninger became friends and Benninger would stop in to see him after Merri Makers opened. Bott was saddened to learn of Benninger’s passing in May. Mr. Bott had a large building erected on the property for off-site catering at the Ashford Estate in Allentown and two proper ties in Manahawkin near Long Beach Island - the Bonnet Island Estate and the Mallard Island Yacht Club. In April he started retail operations for the public at the Herbertsville site featuring fried chicken, reasonably priced dinners, salads and more. Patrons will notice attractive boxed in groupings of herbs being grown and new plantings of trees and f lowers all connected by paved walk ways. The buildings are immaculate with an impressive white marble counter in the retail store.

The Brick Township Historical Society is proud to have the acquisition of the sign as Peter Benninger so wisely suggested.

ARounD tHe JeRsey sHoRe It’s Baby Season – I Found A Baby Bird

By Renee Thomaier Retired NJ Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator J E R SE Y SHOR E - I c a n a l mo s t guarantee that in your lifetime or in the lifetime of someone you know, an encounter with a baby bird will occur.

Have you ever seen a bi rd on t he ground that’s tr ying to f ly but seems to be having trouble? Perhaps it f lies low to the ground and only short distances. You may obser ve g roups of the same species, behaving the same way. More than likely you’re looking at a f ledgling.

A f ledgling is a young bird that has lef t it s ne st (u su al ly w it h i n a few weeks of hatching for small birds) to embark on the next stage of its life – lear ning to f ly and how to sur vive.

From that point on the young bird will no longer retur n to the nest. Rather it will live on the ground receiving food and coaxing from the parents who will keep an eye on it until it has lear ned

to f ly and f ind food on its own.

If you f ind a young bird who appears to have fallen f rom the nest, clearly not having grown feathers, it is possible it has fallen from the nest.

Storms, strong winds, and overzealous siblings are some reasons why a baby might land prematurely on the ground. If you see a featherless bird on the ground feel free to contact me for further assessment and advice. If you see f lies swarming over the baby, immediate attention is required. If you feel comfortable doing so, remove the bird and place it in a small container.

Do not feed the bird but contact me as soon as possible.

Note that this information is general and does not address ever y problem or solution. Should you require assistance, I am happy to help. To reach me please call 732-244-2768.

It is illegal to possess wildlife for any reason without the proper state and/or federal permits.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 23 - july 29

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may have an opportunity to learn what is really going on behind the curtain. In the week to come, you might even feel that life is a game show, and you are a contestant. Don’t become involved in power plays.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Wear a smile and get out to meet and greet. Your social life could expand in the week ahead, giving you a chance to be at your best. Jealousy can occur if someone close thinks you are having too much fun without them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Everything you need to make your dreams a reality may be right at your fingertips. In the next week, you can make inroads in establishing your financial security. Do not be greedy or take drastic steps to make more money.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take care of your own garden before you check out any seemingly greener grass on the other side of the fence. You may be motivated to succeed in the upcoming week but could run into opposition if you are unfair.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): No mud, no lotus.

In the week ahead, you should be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty to get an important job done. You might feel like you are struggling to adhere to demanding business policies.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The tactics and strategies you use to reach your goals might need a reappraisal as the week unfolds. Cherish your personal tribe but be aware that not every workplace colleague may be equally on your side.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Count your blessings and send them outward if you find it difficult to settle down to sleep. Hold off on key decisions about major investments. Family members could be somewhat difficult to cope with in the upcoming week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Hard work can be incredibly satisfying, and in the week ahead, your schedule could be fuller than usual. Handle family obligations by prioritizing the essentials and you will get everything completed in a timely manner.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Deal with financial necessities without making drastic changes in the upcoming week. You may feel pressured to make a decision that could break the bank. Focus on making your home a safe and cozy nest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Applying a “my way or the highway” policy can cause some stress in the week ahead. Offering alternatives, however, might solve a problem by clearing the air. Put new business ventures on the back burner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some people bring blessings into your life and others come in to teach you lessons. You could learn a great deal from social contacts this week. Look for the best value rather than concentrating solely on price.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can grasp the big picture. Your heightened idealism lets you rise above petty squabbles in the week to come. There may be plenty of opportunities to use your imagination and work enthusiastically on creative projects.
