By Chris Lundy STAFFORD – Souther n Ocean Medical Center reached a welcome milestone recently, by discharging the 100th COVID-19 positive patient on May 4.

Natalie Alexander of Manahawkin had the distinction of being that 100th patient. She

left with great fanfare, getting a send-off from hospital staff in the main lobby.

“Every recovering pat ient who leaves the hospital is truly a cause for celebration,” hospital officials said.

“As patients are discharged, team members celebrate the courage,

strength and hope of our patients by playing “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles, as they return home to their loved ones.”

In related news, Dr. Manuel Bulauitan is one of 400 people who have been treated for COVID-19 and then been discharged from

Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

“Early in March, my father’s patients had faith that he would show up to work in midst of a pandemic, as all health care providers have been doing,” said his son Constantine Bulauitan, M.D. (Hospital - See Page 5)

Group Seeks Justice In Dog Neglect Case

By Bob Vosseller LACEY – Several local animal rights groups have formed a coalition and are calling for justice in the case of three dogs who died last year as the result of being left abandoned in a township house.

The New Jersey Animal Advocacy Coalition (NJAAC) is made up of animal welfare organizations and advocates in the State of New Jersey. Members of the Lacey Raccoon Task Force are founding members of this new Coalition, which includes NJASM (NJ Animal Save Movement), NJ HSUS (Humane Society of the U.S.), APL (Animal Protection League), the NJ League of Humane Voters, FAUN NJ (Friends of Animals United), and Jersey Shore Wildlife Rescue.

“We work extensively in the state with respect to all aspects of ani-

mal welfare, including legislative initiatives, educational programs and outreach, sanctuary support, abuse investigative action, and rescue,” said Lisa S. Tarzia, the organization’s administrator.

A number of animal abuse cases gained attention last fall in Ocean County. The anniversary of horrific death of a racoon by Lacey teenagers was noted in December with a rally in front of the offices of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

Another Lacey case of abuse which the coalition is focusing on involves seeking justice for three dogs, Kobe, Gizmo, and Fred, who were left in a Lacey home where they died of dehyd rat ion a nd starvation.

The woman accused of their abandonment is Lacey resident Alissa DeStefano. She was (Dog - See Page 5)

Local Parks Reopen For Passive Recreation

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Like birds migrating, people flocked to local parks again as soon as they were re-opened, glad to fi nally have a change of scenery.

And what scenery! The first weekend that parks were open had gorgeous weather, sunny and just the right temperature. Many – but not all – parks were open for passive recreation. This means hiking, biking, walking or other activities that you can still do while social distancing.

Drew Chabot was happy to let his 21-month-old son, Landon, finally get out and run around in a park again.

“I was here the day before they closed the parks, and I only saw one person, who was being respectful and we kept our distance,” he said.

Most people seemed to be doing that, too, on that first day. Some folks had masks. Some didn’t. Of the ones who didn’t, they mostly appeared to be from the same household.

Parks:

Continued From Page 1 People spoke about some of the measures they’ve had to endure throughout this pandemic.

“My father is in his 80s, so we’ve been keeping it tight for his safety,” said Charles Draper of Toms River. He was pushing a baby in a stroller while his son Charlie walked with his wife, Kristyn. They said it was good to finally get out.

They were with Gary Filippone of Barnegat, who was also pushing his baby in a stroller.

“The thing I miss is the coffee shops, the little stores. I know a lot of those people are hurting so bad,” he said.

There were a few times that first weekend where parks had reached capacity and people were being turned away.

Gov. Phil Murphy signed an Executive Order reopening all state parks. He also let counties choose whether to open their parks and golf courses.

It was a small step forward, but perhaps bigger than it seems given that New Jersey is the second-hardest hit state for COVID-19.

A lot of local officials were pushing for him to do it.

At the most recent Berkeley Township Council meeting, for example, the council passed a resolution. It stated “in the short term, their closure may help to slow the spread of COVID-19 but the long-lasting effects of such closures are detrimental to the public’s mental and physical health.”

The township’s beach, in South Seaside Park on the barrier island, remained open.

Councilman James Byrnes was concerned that if Island Beach State Park stayed closed, people would flood into the closest beach – South Seaside Park - and crowd out the locals.

Councilman Angelo Guadagno, who liaisons with the township recreation department, said Berkeley parks are open for passive recreation. However, ball fields and the skate park, and places like playgrounds where social distancing is impossible, were closed.

He said there was an incident where a man’s truck got stuck on the beach in South Seaside Park. Two locals went into their home, put on masks, and then helped him out.

Ocean County reopened two golf courses and several parks, but not all of them.

Parks and courses that were reopened as of press time were: • Wells Mills County Park, Waretown • John C. Bartlett Jr. County Park at Berkeley Island • Jakes Branch County Park, Beachwood • Ocean County Park and Lake Shenandoah County Park, both in Lakewood • Patriots County Park, Jackson Township • Freedom Fields, Little Egg Harbor Towns hip • The Ocean County Golf Course at Atlantis, in Little Egg Harbor Township • Forge Pond County Golf Course in Brick Township • The Barnegat Branch Trail which starts at Burr Street in Barnegat Township and travels north toward Toms River also will be open to the public.

“I am pleased to announce the reopening of several of our county parks starting Saturday.

This includes our two golf courses and our

natural lands,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, Chairwoman of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation.

“There will be restrictions in place as we go forward to maintain social distancing. These restrictions are for the health and safety of everyone returning to our parks and open spaces.

The parks had been closed since March 31.

“It’s important to note that this action in no way means the coronavirus pandemic is over,” she said. “Rather we want to provide safe and large open spaces for our residents to spend time outside, especially with warm weather coming, and these steps will allow that.”

Parks will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Golf course hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

These spaces are open for passive recreation only. In other words, activities like walking, jogging, and biking. It’s not for team sports or playgrounds.

“Our playgrounds, public bathrooms, nature centers, and pavilions will remain closed to the public as will the dog parks and some of our smaller parks,” Haines said. “As per the Governor’s executive order there cannot be any large gatherings, no sporting activities or picnics allowed at this time.”

In order to enforce social distancing, parking will be capped at 50 percent, Haines said.

Wearing face coverings is strongly suggested.

“We encourage everyone to adhere to the requirements we have put in place to reopen the parks,” she said. “In time we look forward to reopening all of our parks. We think this is a good start.”

Haines noted that residents can use the county golf courses by prepaid reservation only with restrictions including no groups larger than twosomes.

“If you want a tee time you need to make a reservation,” Haines said.

“We are following Gov. Murphy’s requirements that he outlined for reopening the state parks,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “It’s important that we do this right. We want to see the numbers continue to trend downward of people getting COVID-19. We need to stay the course but we also realize people need opportunities for passive recreation for their overall health.

“It’s important that we continue to follow social distancing rules. We all need to remember that our actions don’t affect just us, they affect our family, they affect our health care workers, they affect our emergency responders, they affect the workers at our grocery stores,” Vicari said. “We need to all continue to do our part to stop the spread of this virus.”

The Ocean County Sheriff’s Office and Ocean County Security Department will continue to patrol all the county parks during this time.

Monmouth County also reopened their parks and golf courses.

“We are glad that the Governor heeded our plea to reconsider the closure of county parks and golf courses in New Jersey,” Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas Arnone said. “The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders has felt, throughout this entire pandemic, that our county parks are essential for our residents’ mental health and a great choice for passive recreation.”

Dog:

Continued From Page 1 charged with three individual criminal felony counts in the third degree for the alleged abuse, neglect, abandonment and death of the three dogs. Her case is pending before Ocean County Superior Court, Toms River.

In November 2019, the Lacey Township Police Department responded to resident complaints and concerns about the welfare of DeStefano’s dogs. Officers investigated the abandoned household to ascertain the condition of the dogs, which were found dead in a room within the household.

The NJAAC recently wrote to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer and Linda Baxter, presiding judge in this case, and Dr. Nedim C. Buyukmihci, V.M.D., Emeritus Professor of Veterinary Medicine, University of California-Davis expressing that “animal cruelty in New Jersey must be taken seriously, and that heinous acts such as these must not only be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but must include psychiatric assessment and potential treatment, as well as the prohibition of future pet ownership by the defendant.”

NJAAC members noted that on Aug. 22, 2019, the Lacey Township Animal Control Officer, employed by Academy Pest Control, investigated a resident’s complaint that DeStefano’s dogs were possibly victims of abuse and neglect. On August 29, 2019, the Lacey Township Police Department also responded to a resident complaint of similar allegations.

“On both occasions, DeStefano had the opportunity to relinquish the care the three dogs to authorities, if she was unable or unwilling to continue the shelter and care of the pets in her charge. Instead, she chose to abandon her dogs and her home, knowing that they would suffer and die without water or food,” the NJAAC letter states.

During her recent court appearance, DeStefano’s attorney stated that she would

Manuel was on a ventilator for about 15 days at Jersey Shore, where his son is a trauma surgeon. Once a patient is put on a ventilator, their odds grow dimmer.

“Despite the odds, what comforted me was my trust and confidence in the care my father received. I never expected a miracle. But, I had continued faith in the team of physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, medical residents, and support staff, who displayed a strong belief in the doctrines of medicine, unknowingly, the very doctrines my father championed.”

Ultimately, the elder Bulauitan spent

The Southern Ocean Times, May 9, 2020, Page 5 apply for Pre-trial Intervention, but her request has been denied, as of March 20.

DeStefano’s next court appearance is on May 20, and she is enrolled in the Early Disposition Conference.

The coalition has requested all the facts of the case be taken into consideration with the court’s decision and any penalty imposed.

The organization maintains that the defendant had at least two opportunities to relinquish ownership of her three dogs to investigating authorities and many occasions to transfer care of the animals to concerned neighbors and residents who repeatedly inquired about their welfare.

The group stated in their correspondence that the defendant’s actions warrant sentencing to the fullest extent allowable by law in addition to court mandated psychiatric evaluation and therapy.

“Ms. DeStefano should also be prohibited from obtaining pets in the future,” the letter states.

Dr. Buyukmihci has detailed the behavior of starving, trapped animals, that would resort to viciously attacking one another in an effort to survive. He noted such cannibalistic behavior would result in extremely painful wounds, in addition to the horrific suffering of dehydration and starvation as the animals eventually succumbed to organ failure, shock and death.

The NJAAC is seeking to read their letter from Dr. Buyukmihci, on the day of DeStefano’s next court appearance on May 20, or her subsequent sentencing hearing, to represent the interests of Kobe, Gizmo, and Fred, “who suffered needlessly and extensively at the hands of the defendant. The three innocent victims in this case deserve a voice in the courtroom,” Lisa S. Tarzia, the organization’s administrator said.

“Leniency in this felony criminal animal abuse case is not warranted and would send the message that Lacey Township, Ocean County, and the State of New Jersey, tolerates willful, inhumane animal abuse,” Tarzia added.

four weeks in the hospital. He received the customary “clap out,” being cheered as he leaves. Another touch is that a recording of physician Alan Zaccaria singing “Here Comes The Sun” is played over the speaker system.

Jersey Shore University Medical Center has had about 1,800 patients who tested positive or were under investigation for having the virus. Of these, 400 positive patients have recovered and been discharged.

“Words cannot express how happy I am about my father’s recovery,” said Constantine. “To all who continue to show up, have faith in yourself and your abilities to heal. Have faith in each other. Have faith that we will succeed. Above all, have faith in humanity.”

Correction

The May 2 article was correct in stating that the primary election is on July 7. However, the headline to the article incorrectly stated it was July 9. We regret the error.

MELANOMA OF THE EYE Although melanoma occurs most often on the skin, it can develop in the eye since melanoma develops in the cells that produce “melanin,” the pigment that gives both skin and eyes their color. Eye melanoma most commonly develops in the “uvea,” the vascular layer of the eye sandwiched between the retina and the white of the eye (sclera). Also known as “uveal melanoma,” this type of cancer can occur in the front part of the uvea (iris and ciliary body) or in the rear portion of the uvea (choroids layer). While “primary eye cancer” starts in the eye, 90 percent of melanomas start in the skin, which means they are “secondary eye cancer.”

It is not clear why eye melanomas develop. People born with certain growths in or on the eye, as well as those with lighter colored eyes, are at a greater risk for developing ocular melanoma. If your ophthalmologist suspects that you have ocular melanoma, he or she may recommend more tests.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER To Shake Or Not to Shake, That Is No Longer The Question Social distancing, wearing masks, and avoiding handshakes are a few of the most visible changes the COVID-19 virus pandemic has caused to our societal norms. Will handshakes become be a remnant of the pre-coronavirus world?

The handshake has always been a poor form of greeting anyway, and not just because it spreads germs.

It needlessly complicates what should be a routine interaction. We all remember such handshake issues as: the sweaty-palmer shake, the lingerer, the bone crusher, the lobster claw, the finger-tip shake, the decliner, the tickler, and of course, the dreaded dead-fish shake.

Those who want to resume shaking hands after the pandemic insist that we should not casually abandon a centuries old tradition.

The gesture has a long and illustrious history, but not as a greeting.

The ancient Greeks took this gesture seriously enough to give it a name, dexiosis, “the joining together of the right hands.” They featured it on coins and in statues celebrating political and military alliances. So did the ancient Romans; and leaders ever since have been shaking hands to seal treaties and other deals. But along the way, the handshake was also used as a casual greeting, perhaps because an extended right hand demonstrated that you were not holding a weapon.

Presumably, people back then figured that the danger of getting germs from a stranger was less than the danger of being stabbed.

Still, the handshake’s debasement to a mere greeting did not become widespread until the past few centuries.

Some of the blame goes to seventeenth century English Quakers, who adopted the handshake as an alternative to the bows and curtsies denoting a person’s inferior social status.

What can replace the traditional handshake you may ask? All you need is the “no-fear greeting.” It is sim-

ilar to the gesture we make when pledging an oath, or that greeting in old Westerns from Indians who say, “How,” but you keep your elbow at your side instead of raising it. Star Trek fans will notice the similarity to Mr. Spock’s Vulcan greeting, except that you hold your fingers naturally instead of splaying them in a “V.” The gesture is already commonly known to followers of some Asian religions as the abhaya mudra, or “gesture of fearlessness,” a sign of amity frequently seen in statues of Buddha.

The open palm held vertically is subtler, a sign of friendliness, not helplessness, but its message is unmistakable.

This no-fear greeting is the simplest, safest, and surest way to say hello now and after the pandemic ends, a greeting that crosses cultural boundaries, reduces social anxiety, and leaves everyone healthy. Save the handshake for when you have a deal to seal, a friendship to pledge, or a joint accomplishment to celebrate with someone, but only someone who can prove they has tested negative for the virus.

The Voyager Spacecraft, the first object to leave our solar system carries a plaque intended for aliens who may someday intercept it in the far reaches of interstellar space. After much consideration, Dr. Carl Sagan suggested the figure of the man should be depicted as raising his right hand with open palm facing the viewer and bent elbow. It is hoped this gesture clearly conveys a non-aggressive greeting; however, an extraterrestrial may have no way of interpreting this gesture.

Well, next time you greet someone in our new world order, try the “no-fear” greeting of open palm with arm held up to your side. If someday, it may be good enough for extraterrestrials, then it should be good enough for germophobic Earthlings.

The Truth About Trump’s Miracle Drug Tr ump told people to take hydroxychloroquine because he thinks it can cu re COV I D -19. T here is nothing but anecdotal evidence of this.

But there is evidence that Trump is profiting from pushing it.

Trump family trust funds all have investments in a mutual fund whose largest holding is Sanofi, the manufacturer of Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hyd roxychloroquine.

One of the largest manufacturers of the drug is a company called Novartis.

They paid Trump’s personal attor ney Michael Cohen $1.2 million to get access to Trump to inf luence his health policy.This has been announced by Novartis itself. They were afraid of Trump disman-

Act and wanted someone inside the White House so they could continue to make billions of dollars.

Novartis has of course backtracked, apologized, and said they never should have done that.

The president and his men have pushed for this drug. They have lied that it was approved for coronavir us patients. News personalities have gone to bat for the president saying that it should be used.

Everyone is in on the grift, from the top-down.

A recent study of 368 patients showed that the drug didn’t work. Not only that, but it led to a higher death rate. Grants from the National Institutes of Health and the University of Virginia paid for the study. The study hasn’t been peer reviewed yet, but it is not promising.

For some God-forsaken reason, the test was performed on veterans.

Sincerely, medicine is a delicate thing and you can’t just test it on human subjects in the midst of a pandemic. We need real science.

Trump Promotes Himself During Coronavirus Briefings

There you go again!

“Sticky Fingers” Gov. Murphy - Sticking it to every qualifying homeowner by freezing our homestead rebate. How do you “old” Democrat homeowners like that?

W hat next, Mu r phy?

Freezing our Property Tax Rebate (PTR) to balance your lopsided budget spending?

I thought with age we get knowledge, but not so with older Democrats that put this guy in office!

How sad that we have a president who the past 3 ½ years has almost completely avoided giving the American public regular press conferences where he respectfully stands and answers a full range of questions, who has instead given quick, unscheduled shouted out statements in front of a roaring presidential helicopter.

A president whose press secretaries either provided very infrequent press briefings or absolutely none at all!

But since Trump can no longer hold his frequent loud, bombastic political rallies to spew out unchallenged lies and distortions, Trump now is using the White House coronavirus daily coronavirus briefings to shamefully promote himself and to also alarmingly suggest dangerous and untested coronavirus treatments!

Trump actually suggested in a recent briefing that injecting a disinfectant into one’s body could be a coronavirus treatment! This completely irresponsible public statement by a president was so shocking and alarming that the following day a number of disinfectant manufacturers who were worried about the impressionable public quickly issued public statements urging the public not to inject, ingest or apply any of their disinfectant products!

Let’s hope in November when America votes, either voting in person or using mail-in votes that this dangerous, incompetent president can finally be removed! Please in the meantime, prevent Trump from attempting to dismantle our United States postal system!

Southern Ocean County Chamber Announces Refresh 2020

By Bob Vosseller SHIP BOTTOM − This is the time of year when the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce members normally gather to represent the area at tourism events throughout the state.

This year, the COVID-19 emergency is having an unprecedented impact on all aspects of life and the Southern Ocean County Chamber recognizes that more than ever, the community must come together, support each other and remind our country that even through the most difficult times, the spirit of hospitality cannot be broken.

The Chamber has been serving as the official Destination Marketing Organization for over a century, working with businesses and elected representatives to promote the benefits of visiting or vacationing in the Long Beach Island Region and taking part in National Travel & Tourism week.

Since it became an annual tradition in the US travel community, itt is also a time to discuss the importance the tourism industry has in the local and state economy bringing employment, investment and services to the entire region.

The Chamber has chosen National Tourism Week to introduce their Refresh initiative. This regional and detail-oriented approach will be rolled out to their members with a call to action

to participate in welcoming all by land and sea so we are prepared when restrictions are lifted.

The Refresh Initiative is structured with three parts, it will contain updated COVID resources for members to stay on top of relief efforts, a Welcome Campaign playbook that will feature a new call to action each week for members.

Members will have an opportunity to receive amplified outreach through digital marketing, earned and social media, The campaign will be analyzed weekly to help stay current and responsive to consumer sentiment with new play tactics available to members to participate in the ongoing marketing.

The chamber has invited their EMS members and Downtown Driven Municipalities to have input in the campaign to raise awareness of any of their messaging as well.

The third part will be a late spring launch of a new destination website that will house an interactive directory and local insight.

All who are looking to use Tourism Week to begin planning can do so by viewing the Land & Sea Digital Guide available with links to businesses evergreeneditions.com/publication. For more information please go to visitLBIregion. com and on social as @lbiregion @southernoceanchamber

CFO Michele Cuff Celebrates 40 years With Southern Ocean Chamber Of Commerce

SHIP BOTTOM - Michele Cuff has witnessed a lot of changes from her seat at the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce. Hired in April 1980, Michele began her part time job calling members to see how they wanted to be listed in the annual guide. She remembers how 300 members would stop in to catch up on news.

Each fall Michele would use her skill working the chamber’s afternoon fish weighing shift for the Striped Bass Derby.

A few decades ago, a typical summer day at the office consisted of telephones ringing nonstop, without computers or internet they ran a hotline that people would call to find where gas was available, what movies were playing at the Rt 72 Drive in, how to rent a summer home and when to come in for working papers. Michele served with five Executive Directors, and several Board Presidents including Dave Wyrsch, Van Dyk Group: Jeff Konnor SeaSpray Motel; Bob Stohrer, Stohrer Brothers Towing, Dan Taylor G Anderson Agency, Frank Panzone Panzone Pizza & Pasta, Dave Taylor Taylor Made Cabinets, Chris Schwab Anderson Insurance Agency, and Jillian Elsasser of Panzone Pizza. She became Chief Financial Officer alongside CEO Lori Pepenella, who has been with the chamber since 2008.

She can remember the chamber budget and the board coming up with ideas to keep

the organization going including the unexpected success of the first Chowderfest.

One of her favorite memories was when the chamber used to sponsor a local circus. The promoter would send an advance clown to come ahead to prepare the crowds for the circus arrival. The clown used the chamber office to type up releases and pre sell tickets. When people would ask who she shared an office with she could honestly say “some clown” and open the door to show the gentlemen typing away in full costume and make up.

“Forty years have come with an opportunity to meet and work with a lot of wonderful people” stated Michele who describes the Southern Ocean Chamber “as the place that always becomes just what the members need it to be” Michele is a native of Trenton NJ, where she worked for Catholic Welfare Bureau and then the Daily Racing Form in Hightstown. She moved to LBI in the 1970s, where she and her husband Michael performed pop and jazz hits. In addition to her duties at the chamber, Michele has served in several community leadership roles. She happily resides Ocean Acres with her husband and enjoys her time with her three children and six grandchildren.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

I’m Stuck in my House & My Hearing Aid Stopped Working

The majority of you reading this column either wear hearing aids or know someone who does. By the time this column goes to print, there could be over 10,000 cases of the COVID-19 virus in New Jersey. All of us really need to practice social distancing and just stay home. The peak of COVID-19 cases may not occur for several weeks and this “invisible enemy” can attack all ages, although our senior population is significantly at risk.

According to a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can live in the air and on surfaces between several hours and several days. The study found that the virus is viable for up to 72 hours on plastics, 48 hours on stainless steel, 24 hours on cardboard, and 4 hours on copper. It is also detectable in the air for three hours.

I’ve been an Audiologist for over 30 years and I’ve never experienced anything like this. However, my staff and I are here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and can’t communicate with their loved ones because they’re hearing aid stopped working. In these times of social isolation, it’s imperative that we communicate with our loved ones. We need that connection for psychosocial and cognitive reasons.

So... what are the steps you can take if your hearing aid just stopped working?

• Replace the battery and wait at least three minutes before you close the battery door. If you have a rechargeable hearing aid, make sure the charger is plugged in and the lights are blinking green. Some chargers need to be reset and that button is usually on the underside of the charger.

• If you are wearing a hearing aid that has a dome that inserts into your ear, replace that dome and remove the white filter inside the receiver. If you have replacement filters, replace the old filter. If you don’t know how to replace the filter, take a “pin” and carefully pop off the filter. Hearing aids can function without a filter. If you don’t have extra domes, remove the dome and clean it

with soap and warm water, let it dry and put the dome back on the receiver.

• Always use a soft dry toothbrush to clean the dome every day. If you’re wearing a custom hearing aid (only goes into the ear…nothing behind the ear), you should be cleaning the “white” filter daily and if the hearing aid is not working, remove the filter.

Again, if you have replacement filters, replace the old one. If you don’t, leave the filter out.

• If you’re wearing a traditional BTE (behind-the-ear) hearing aid with an earmold, it is more than likely that your “tubing” is blocked with wax. In many cases, the tubing needs to be replaced.

This creates a big problem since 99% of our offices are closed. In the short term, I would remove the tubing from the “ear hook” of the hearing aid, and run very warm water through the tubing or even hydrogen peroxide. In addition, if you have a “pipe cleaner” run this wire completely through the ear mold. Please let everything dry out before putting the tubing back on the BTE ear hook.

• If you have hearing aids that are connected to an APP on your smart phone, remember the hearing aids are still operational whether you lose connection with your APP. Your hearing healthcare provider can provide you with technical support phone numbers from all of the major hearing aid manufacturers. They will help you reconnect your hearing instruments to your APP. Hopefully these trouble shooting steps will be helpful in rectifying your hearing aid issue. If not, contact your hearing healthcare professional and leave them a message. In my practice, we are checking messages on a daily basis and returning calls. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to directly email me at ikirsh@gardenstatehearing.com or 732-818-3610.

Please stay healthy, stay home, practice social distancing and I promise you there will be a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

All the Best!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Foods And Spices Are Natural Blood Thinners

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Sadly, we’re hearing more about strokes and blood clots lately. Apparently, this is a rare, but possible concern with COVID-19 and it is disheartening because, at first, researchers thought this virus stayed in the lungs. But now, we know it can penetrate all human tissues and organs.

A research study led by doctors at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Dublin, Ireland found that some patients admitted to their hospital experienced abnormal clotting, and that this was the main contributing factor to their death. In those patients, they identified hundreds of tiny clots in the lungs. This explains why oxygen levels drop so quickly and so dramatically in the most severe cases of the disease.

Clotting in your blood matters. You want it to clot so you don’t get a paper cut and bleed to death. But you don’t want it to clot so much that the debris forms an obnoxious piece of gunk that ends up blocking blood flow to your brain, heart or lungs. There’s a healthy balance that’s in-between both extremes and we call the balance “homeostasis.”

Blood health can be manipulated by foods, spices and drugs. Clots do not happen to everyone who gets the virus, in fact, many people don’t even know they’ve been exposed or infected! So as you consume my article, please know that my intention is not to provoke fear, or anxiety, it is to offer sensible advice so you can improve your blood health. Since the immune system resides in the intestinal tract for the most part, your diet is what instantly changes your gut microflora and your ability to fight.

The list of foods and spices below have natural anti-clotting properties, that’s why people who take anticoagulants may want to avoid these

foods and spices or ask your doctor if they’re okay for you. Again, certain foods listed below will interfere with their PT/INR levels and medications. This is not a complete list: Spices • Cayenne pepper • Thyme • Garlic • Cinnamon (contains coumarin, a powerful blood thinning agent) • Curry powder • Turmeric Foods • Ginger • Dill • Peppermint • Beets (high in nitrates) • Walnuts (high in vitamin E) • Salmon (omega 3 fatty acids) • Cherries • Citrus I can email you a comprehensive version of this article with more foods if you join my online community. Sign up and I’ll see you in your inbox: suzycohen.com.

The fear is crippling. And some of us should be more cautious if we’re in the group that is most severely impacted. But from the statistics that are publicly available, I can reassure you that, just like a cold or flu, the majority of infected folks will survive and thrive again.

We all need something positive to hold on to right now. And the truth is that most people survives and gets past it. This is a positive thought to hold on to. We don’t have control over the future. But we have control of our fork.

If you feed your family a healthy amount of foods that support blood health, then you have even better odds of recovering. And that is my wish for all of us.

Chronic Ankle Instability

By: Rebecca Kashdan, DPT, Jackson Facility Therapist With every step you take, your feet are the only connection between your body and the ground. Your feet support you and transmit the force from each step through your ankles, through your lower leg, and to the rest of your body. Many people have, or will have, a sprained ankle at some point throughout their lifetime. An ankle sprain can impact the way you move, whether you are a competitive athlete or simply walking around the grocery store, and can lead to a chronic condition called ankle instability.

WHAT IS A SPRAINED ANKLE AND WHY IS CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY A BIG DEAL? Your ankle is made up of several bones that not only allow you to point and flex your anklefoot, but also allow you to tilt your foot inward (inversion) and outward (eversion) so that you can adjust to uneven surfaces such as cobblestones, a sandy beach, or divots in your backyard. The bones in your ankle are connected by several ligaments, a type of connective tissue, on both the inside and outside to increase the stability of the joint.

When you experience a sprained ankle, usually the ankle rolls inward, resulting in overstretching the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Occasionally the ankle is forced outward, resulting in overstretching of the ligaments on the inside of the ankle; however, that is much less common. Ankle sprains are often graded based on the severity of overstretching, with grade I meaning the ligaments are overstretched but not torn, grade II meaning there is a mild to moderate tear, and grade III meaning there is a significant tear in the ligaments.

Symptoms may also include swelling, pain, bruising, and difficulty putting weight on the affected foot. If you have experience a sprained ankle with any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor.

Chronic ankle instability is the result of several factors, causing a person to sprain their ankle repeatedly. The first factor is overstretched or torn ligaments, resulting in decreased ankle stability.

The second factor is muscle imbalance. When the

ligaments are stretched or torn, the muscles and tendons surrounding the ankle may also be stretched and irritated, resulting in muscle weakness. The third factor is impaired proprioception. Proprioceptors are tiny nerve receptors located in soft tissue throughout the body that sense your position in space (these receptors allow you to touch your pointer finger to your nose with your eyes closed). The proprioceptors in the ankle are extremely important when it comes to balance and the ability to adjust your ankle on uneven surfaces to prevent falling. When the tissues surrounding the ankle are disrupted, the proprioceptors do not collect the information that they need to help you adjust. All of these factors combined make up an ugly recipe for repeated ankle sprains as well as increasing the risk for falling. An unstable ankle can change the way the forces are transmitted from the foot through the rest of your body, causing problems beyond your foot and ankle.

PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP! Physical therapy can help to break the cycle of chronic ankle instability by preventing future ankle sprains. We use exercises that focus on normalizing muscle imbalances, restoring normal motion, and improving ankle proprioception. Your physical therapist will evaluate your imbalances in order to create a program specifically designed for you.

For instance, if you feel fine while standing on flat, stable surfaces but you have difficulty on a plush carpet or an uneven sidewalk, your therapist may have you practice standing and walking on unstable surfaces to functionally strengthen your anklestabilizing muscles. Physical therapy will not repair a torn ligament; however, the therapists at All-Care are trained to develop a program that will promote healing as well as maximize the stability in your ankle by strengthening the surrounding musculature.

IS BAREFOOT EXERCISE GOOD FOR ME? While proper footwear can provide excellent support for a person with chronic ankle instability, exercising barefoot in a controlled environment helps build

natural stability. Often patients with ankle instability perform physical therapy exercises without shoes to increase reliance on the natural stabilizing muscles instead of relying on support from your shoes. You may notice that if you stand on one foot with a supportive sneaker and compare it to standing on one foot without shoes, you tend to “wobble” more without the shoes. That is exactly why we focus on barefoot stability. While barefoot exercise in a controlled environment can be beneficial, high-impact barefoot training, such as running or jumping without proper conditioning, can lead to many other injuries. Make sure to speak with your doctor or physical therapist before beginning your own barefoot program.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Commercial Rent Payments And The Coronavirus

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many commercial tenants are asking whether they are excused from making rent payments if the tenant’s business has been impacted or shut down by as a result of the coronavirus. In particular, they are asking whether a force majeure clause often found in commercial leases, excuses the tenant from having to pay rent. A force majeure clause in commercial leases generally relieve the performance of a party because of an unforeseeable circumstance beyond the control of the parties to the lease which causes a party not to be able to perform under the lease. The term “force majeu re” usu ally mea ns a n event that could not have been reasonably anticipated, or which, if anticipated, could not be controlled. Force majeure clauses are added to leases to excuse a party’s performance under the lease in cases of natural disasters or “acts of God,” such as hurricanes, f loods, earthquakes, etc.

The answer to this question depends on the terms of the commercial lease.

Does the lease contain a force majeure clause? If so, does the clause specifically address the issue as to the payment of rent. In many, if not most, force majeure clauses the obligation to pay rent is not forgiven in the case of an event that is beyond the control of the parties. Thus, the commercial lease must be reviewed to see whether it contains a force majeure clause and what is excused or not excused under that clause.

New Jersey courts h a v e t r a d i t i o n a l l y Marc S. Galella Esq. been very reluctant to allow force majeure clauses to excuse the perfor mance of one party to a commercial lease and especially to excuse the payment of rent under the lease. Courts look to see whether the event should have been anticipated by the parties and addressed in the lease. Not all unforeseen events are subject to the force majeure clause.

The lease would need to be reviewed as to whether the shutdown of a business by the government is an event that is covered by the force majeure clause.

In addition, the coronavirus may not be considered an “act of God” if a court determines if it should have been foreseen in the drafting of the lease.

As you can see, there is no definite answer to the question of whether a force majeure clause excuse the non-payment of rent by a tenant. Tenants and landlords should consult with their attorneys to review their commercial leases and determine whether the lease contains a force majeure clause and, if so, whether the force majeure excuses the payment of rent by the tenant. If the payment of rent is excused, what are the terms for the non-payment of rent?

Please note that the discussion above pertains only to commercial leases.

Force majeure clauses are not typically found in residential leases.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of may 9 - may 15

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now may be a good time to take any amorous relationship slowly and gently. You should be flexible with any romantic miscommunications that occur in the beginning of the week. Hold off on making major purchases.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep an eye on your savings account. As the week begins, your spending may increase quickly. You’re a quick learner so you should be able to sort out misunderstandings before they become a problem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You believe you’re being open and fair, but someone may only see the negative side. Your straightforward actions could overwhelm a reticent or sensitive person. Wait until the end of the week to make a proposal.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): During the week ahead, you may be concerned by challenges involving your family or partner. Your ability to be understanding and sympathetic may be of good use now. Wait for better timing to start a project.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep your leadership skills sharp this week. You might have ample energy to put a partner’s great ideas into motion. Even with your sound judgment and good planning, you may have to work hard to get others to cooperate with your plans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Enlightenment may light your way. Think about the big issues and attempt something new. If you try to move forward with an important purchase or investment in the first part of the week, you could end up spinning your wheels.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Having a long line of admirers might be a nice thing, but that only means you should continue to be your best.

Pay little attention to casual flirtations and focus on serious responsibilities in the first half of the week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Being thoughtful is the best strategy. If others keep their end of the bargain, it’s only fair that you should keep yours. In the week to come, you and a partner or loved one might not see eye to eye on key issues.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Consider not being too specific. Your ideas may be worth listening to, especially since you can cover a lot of ground with a unique idea. Wait until the end of the week to meet with new contacts or attend crucial interviews.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take time off and dream up fun things to do if you can in the week ahead. Don’t fault those who show a lack of interest in something close to your heart. Think up new ways to get in a workout and enjoy your hobbies.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Even if you are able to outthink someone, you won’t outfox them.

You may have flashes of brilliance as this week unfolds, but don’t try to use a stroke of genius to gain an unfair advantage in a business deal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t rush into a new business project. Clarify agreements, promises and contracts before you finalize them. It is better to wait until you have all the details cleared up than to endure misunderstandings in the week ahead.
