Toms River Halloween Parade

in Toms River News

TOMS RIVER, NJ — While many people have been plotting and preparing since early September for the 82nd Toms River Halloween parade, there’s still time to come up with a plan to participate.

The return of the parade after a year off because of the coronavirus pandemic was announced in early September. It has been heralded as the second-largest Halloween parade in the world, with thousands of participants and spectators filling downtown Toms River every year. Before last year, the parade, which started in 1919, was canceled only three other times: in 2012, because of Superstorm Sandy, which slammed Ocean County just two days before Halloween; during the Great Depression due to lack of funds, and again during World War II due to labor shortage and blackout rules.

STILL GETTING BITES? NEW JERSEY’S MOSQUITO SEASON IS LASTING LONGER

in Toms River News

We’re not the only ones enjoying the milder-than-usual October in New Jersey this year.

Mosquitoes are still hanging around comfortably — due to rainfall events that drenched parts of the Garden State over the past several weeks, and a broader trend that has created a longer mosquito season.

“Extended seasons are a real problem that we’re just going to have to deal with,” said Scott Crans, administrator for the New Jersey Office of Mosquito Control Coordination, part of the state Department of Environmental Protection.

With a general warming of the climate, Crans said, species of mosquitoes that typically hang out further south are inching their way up north into New Jersey and elsewhere.

New Jersey is home to more than 60 different species of mosquitoes. At least three exotic species have taken residence here, Crans said.

RWJBarnabas system fires 118 employees for refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19

in Toms River News

One of New Jersey’s first hospital and health care networks to impose mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations among all its employees has fired 118 workers for refusing to get the shots, a spokeswoman for RWJBarnabas said Monday.

The 118 represent less than 1% of RWJBarnabas’s 35,000 workforce. The announcement comes three days after the network deadline for all employees to be fully vaccinated.

The firings occurred across the network’s 15 hospitals, 33 outpatient centers and dozens of other facilities. The dismissals will not affect care, said Linda Kamateh, an assistant vice president at RWJBarnabas.

Most major hospitals in New Jersey have enacted vaccine policies that are more strict than Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order that allows unvaccinated health care workers to keep their jobs as long as they get tested for COVID at least once a week.

COVID METRICS KEEP FALLING IN NJ…NOW WHAT?

in Toms River News

Many of the key COVID indicators tracked by the CDC and New Jersey Department of Health are falling to levels not seen since the beginning of August. The 7 day weekly average of new positive COVID tests has dropped by more than 30%. Hospitalizations are just above 800. The rate of transmission has also fallen to .93. Anything below 1.0 indicates the outbreak is shrinking, not expanding.

7 New Jersey counties have now moved down one tier in the CDC’s daily COVID tracker. Just a few weeks ago, all counties were listed as having a ‘high’ risk of community transmission. Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Mercer, Middlesex, Passaic and Somerset counties have been moved to having a ‘substantial’ risk of transmission.
