Toll Increase, Toms River Parkway Changes Proposed

By Chris Lundy TRENTON – The Turnpike Authority issued a plan to increase tolls throughout the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike which will include improvements in Ocean County and beyond.

The tolls will increase by 27 percent on the Parkway and 36 percent on the Turnpike for passenger vehicles. Commercial vehicles will see an increase as well. The tolls are expected to go into effect Sept. 13.

In Ocean County, the Barnegat toll will increase from $1.50 to $1.90 and the Toms River toll will increase from 75 cents to 95 cents. The tolls on the ramps in Waretown, Lacey, Berkeley, Lakewood and Brick will increase from 50 cents to 65 cents.

The tolls will help pay for improvement projects throughout these two roads. Locally, there is a proposed change to Parkway miles 80-83, in Toms River and South Toms River.

The Authority said four continuous lanes in each direction are needed between Interchanges 80 and 83 “to accommodate future traffic demands.” Full left and right shoulders will also be added.

This project is expected to cost $75 million.

Projects throughout the state are digital message boards ($80 million); a paving program ($550 million); lighting ($50 million); replacing underground storage tanks with

−Photos by Chris Lundy Residents enjoyed wonderful weather one recent weekend at the John C. Bartlett Jr. County Park (formerly Berkeley Island). There were a lot of boats on the water, and people crabbing and fishing recently.

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Parks are open.

Beaches are open. The shore communities are slowly waking up, but there are still some conditions to follow for safe recreation this season.

Police, Protesters March Together For Equality

By Chris Lundy TOMS R I V ER – Police and protesters marched side by side in reaction to the murder of George Floyd, the man killed by Minneapolis police.

His death sparked protests – and riots – throughout the nation.

Here in New Jersey,

there have been peaceful protests, like in Freehold, and looting like in Atlantic City.

Katrina Garcia saw that no one was starting a protest or march of any kind in Toms River so she stepped up to fill that void.

Asked why she did it, she answered “My kids.

My children’s future.

My generation right now is messed up because the generation before me didn’t finish” what civil rights leaders started.

After she announced it, she said she wasn’t sure how it was going to go over. She was afraid that it was going to get shut down. She

was afraid that a violent element might show up.

Then, she got the email of support from Toms River police. She was contacted by a local preacher asking if he could attend.

“I kept faith in God and the community,” she said.

Local officials have already expressed their displeasure.

The 9th District legislators Senator Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove have called on Governor Phil Murphy to veto the minutes of any meetings held by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) which approve the toll increases.

“Please be advised that in March our Delegation wrote to Department of Transportation Commissioner Gutierrez- Scaccetti, NJTA Executive Director Keller and SJTA Authority Executive Stephen Dougherty calling on the officials to refrain from imposing the toll increases in view of

the economic and financial hardships that would ensue for commuters and businesses. Further, we emphasized that the toll increases will have a chilling effect and likely exacerbate an already precarious economic situation created by COVID-19,” they wrote.

They also argued that the timing of the

hearings was inappropriate. While residents are largely focused on the pandemic, people were not aware of the potential increases.

“Trenton should be focused on alleviating financial hardships, not increasing the cost of living and doing business in this profoundly difficult time for our state and nation,” they said.

March:

protestors would show up and damage property and go door to door attacking residents.

These turned out to be only rumors - started by a white nationalist group trying to agitate emotions and foment a race war.

“We’re going to walk with these people.

We’re going to support them,” Police Chief Mitch Little said.

He said he hoped that people from outside the community don’t come in and ruin the peaceful demonstration that local residents are trying to accomplish.

“We stand in solidarity with those that wish to protest peacefully,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said in a statement. “We are aware of rumors circulating on social media…and there is no evidence at this time to support those rumors.

In collaboration with our law enforcement partners, we will be ready to handle any situation that may arise.”

Continued From Page 1 Eventually, about 300 people wound up being part of it. Police Chief Mitch Little and Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer were among those who marched with them.

“I can’t be more proud and honored” with regards to her fellow protesters. “They really kept with the goal, which was peace.”

Her children, ages 8 and 3, watched her on TV from home. “My children tell me I’m their hero so I have to live up to that.”

In many of the more violent clashes that were reported, witnesses said that peaceful protests were disrupted by outside agitators.

In Toms River, police and the public joined together. There were prayers, discourse, and marching.

There were rumors early on that militant

Parks:

Continued From Page 1 Berkeley never fully closed their parks and beaches. Parks had been open for passive recreation. This means walking, jogging, and things like that. You couldn’t go on playgrounds or play organized sports. Restroom facilities had been closed for safety reasons.

Finally, the playgrounds, skate park at Veterans Park, tennis courts, athletic fields and restrooms were opened with some restrictions. Social distancing must be done, and use of parks and fields will still have to follow the Governor’s Executive Orders.

The playgrounds and restrooms will be sanitized on a more frequent basis, township officials said.

Basketball courts are for shooting baskets only – not organized or pick-up games.

Tennis is for singles only.

“Everyone has been extremely patient

during this pandemic, as we all work together to help ‘flatten the curve,’” Mayor Carmen Amato said. “I am so very proud of all Berkeley Township residents and our employees for the cooperation and strength they have shown throughout this crisis. We have all operated within the governor’s parameters, while at the same time, understanding that people need fresh air and sunshine. We never had an issue with social distancing in our parks and I believe our residents and visitors will continue in the same respectful manner.”

County parks in Berkeley, such as the John C. Bartlett Jr. County Park (formerly Berkeley Island), are also open but the playground and spray park was not.

Double Trouble State Park was one of the first state parks to reopen.

Berkeley Township’s White Sands Beach is on the barrier island, south of the borough of Seaside park, on 20th through 23rd Avenues. Because of its proximity to Island

Beach State Park, when that beach reaches capacity, people go White Sands. The township will be adhering to the state and federal government’s guidelines on social distancing, even on the beach.

The beach has been officially open since May 1. For more information on the beach, such as hours and badge prices, visit BTREC.org and click on the link “Beach Information” on the left.

“After a long spring complying with the Governor’s orders, we are all looking forward to an outstanding summer on our beaches!” said Mayor Amato.

Drive-In Movies Drive-in movies will be playing at Veterans Park. The first one is scheduled for Saturday, June 6.

“Due to space limitations, residents MUST register in advance, and will be a first come, first served basis, open to Berkeley Township residents only,” the recreation

department stated.

Families will be voting on what movies will be shown on the town’s Facebook page.

Soulsational Although it’s not put on by the township recreation department, Soulsational is a very popular event run by local people. It is all ages, and free to enter.

Billed as “A CommUNITY day created to promote a positive lifestyle,” it is scheduled for July 25 at Veterans Park.

There will be vendors, live music, crafters, art, food trucks, yoga classes and demonstrations. The event has been restructured to meet state guidelines for social distancing.

“Let’s give our community a chance to get out, shop, eat, and support local small businesses; families in our community,” the organizers said.

For more information, or to sign up as a vendor, visit Soulsational.info.

LBI Hosts Drive-Thru Film Festival

By Chris Lundy LONG BEACH ISLAND – The Lighthouse International Film Festival will be the first film festival to be held in a fully drive-in format, its organizers announced.

The event will run from Tuesday, June 16 through Saturday, June 20 in several locations.

The festival will be showing films “as they were meant to be seen – on the big screen – while keeping the health and safety of its attendees its top priority.”

“Like all responsible New Jersey businesses and non-profits LIFF has come to realize that ‘business as usual’ is no longer an option, at this unique point in time, and that the Festival cannot be presented in its usual format this year,” said Spokesperson Christine Rooney. “Accordingly, LIFF has committed itself to the idea of

presenting the 2020 Festival in a ‘drive-in’ only format, where we would eschew our typical indoor movie venues and move outdoors under the stars. The focus of this particular format, of course, will be public safety. It is our intention to promote our local restaurants by encouraging our attendees to order from local restaurants and encouraging safe shopping at local businesses. We have always been the kickoff event of the season and this year will be no different.”

She thanked Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove and Beach Haven and Beach Haven Mayor Nancy Davis for their help in lobbying Governor Phil Murphy to allow drive-in movies to operate.

“In short, the Festival would be re-conf igured to provide audiences with a well-deserved night at the movies that

is completely in sync with New Jersey enforcing social distancing standards,” she said. “We have been staying at home for weeks now. People with autoimmune disorders, the elderly are at risk and need a night out. Moms and dads need a night out.

Couples need a night out. Moreover, our proposed drive-in Festival will entail the direct involvement of several New Jersey and local vendors and service providers and will, as always, provide an economic “spark” for countless area hospitality, food and beverage, and retail businesses, just at a time when it will be really needed.”

There is a huge shortage of cultural and entertainment events due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and festival organizers hope to fill that void.

“While COVID-19 put our daily lives on hold, it also shut down the window to

the alternative universe of imagination, creation, and art that is cinema. Lighthouse International Film Festival is here to reopen this window on the big screen, as part of LBIs rejuvenation,” says LIFF executive director Amir Bogen. “While the drive-in option is being discussed in several festivals around the world, LIFF is willing to lead the way and make it happen for LBI’s amazing community and our fabulous filmmakers.”

In years past, there had been receptions and in-person Q&As. Unfortunately, this year, those events will not be possible.

However, they are working on virtual screenings and virtual access to the talent.

For more information, tickets, and descriptions of each movie, visit lighthousefilmfestival.org and follow them on Facebook.

“There is simply too much at stake for the reopening process not to be expedited.

Many businesses that have been ordered to close can maintain social distancing just as easily as liquor stores, which have remained open during the duration of the crisis. Unquestionably, there is a tremendous need to allow for elective surgeries to resume immediately. Locking just about everything down and hoping for the best is not a viable plan to restart the economy.

“Churches and funeral homes should also be given more latitude under the Governor’s executive orders. These respected entities have a firm understanding of the severity of the current situation based on the services they provide and, therefore, should be trust-

ed to take necessary precautions to prevent any spread of the virus. Individuals could take solace in praying with others, even if in small groups, and should have the ability to pay their final respects to loved ones when they pass. With social distancing guidelines strictly observed, church services and funeral processions could help individuals to cope with the mounting hardships we all have been forced to endure.

“As Americans, we should all be thinking more broadly about the very serious national security concerns at hand. America is made vulnerable by a weakened economy that cannot afford a strong military. This would only embolden our enemies and endanger our allies.

“Reopening the state must be re-approached and advanced as a priority, not viewed as a distant eventuality. Again, too much is at stake. Our delegation stands ready to work with businesses and fellow elected officials to achieve the progress in getting New Jerseyans back to living that is so desperately needed.”

Menendez: Congress Must Stop Pompeo’s Arms Deal With Saudi Arabia

WASHINGTON, D.C. − The American people have the right to know that while the Trump administration cannot seem to be bothered to build a political coalition to combat the biggest pandemic in a century, the administration has recently managed to find a way to double down on President Donald Trump’s repulsive embrace of Saudi Arabia’s murderous regime. And as usual, it involves arms. The administration is currently trying to sell thousands more precision-guided bombs to the President’s “friend,” Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Before we went into pandemic lockdown, I received draft State Department documentation that it is now pursuing this previously undisclosed sale - details of which have not yet been made public - even though the Saudis seemingly want out of their failed and brutal war in Yemen, and despite the fact that a bipartisan majority in Congress rejected previous sales of these weapons.

The administration has refused to answer our fundamental questions to justify this new sale and articulate how it would be consistent with US values and national security objectives.

This is not an isolated problem. The administration’s attempt to carry out this arms deal comes on the heels of Trump’s firing of State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, who was reportedly investigating the administration’s special treatment of Saudi Arabia over the $8 billion deal, among other issues. The IG’s probe allegedly focused on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s decision last year to declare what a bipartisan majority of Congress rightly condemned as a false emergency to avoid Congressional oversight of an $8 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Linick’s firing casts the first anniversary of that multi-billion dollar mistake into stark contrast. Not only has the President admitted to removing the IG at Pompeo’s behest, but the administration is also trying to get Congress to rubber stamp another massive sale of munitions to the Saudis.

Congress has the ability to disapprove of the sale unless an emergency is declared - as it was last year.

Last year’s “emergency” arms sales debacle should serve as a warning to prevent history from repeating itself.

To review, as the Senate Democrat with jurisdiction over US arm sales, I initially stopped the $8 billion sale until the ad-

ministration could prove that Saudi Arabia had stopped bombing Yemeni markets, funerals, school buses full of children, and hospitals. After Washington Post columnist and US resident Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered on what US intelligence

agencies concluded were the orders of the Saudi Crown Prince, the campaign to justify the sale abruptly stopped.

Instead, the administration tried to sidestep Congress’ statutory oversight role to finalize (Menendez - See Page 13)

UPDATE ANY ROOM FOR LESS THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!

Holiday City At Berkeley EMS: Time To De-stress?

Submitted by Phyllis Brown Here are some tips to help maintain a healthy level of stress from WebMD. (The ()s are my inserts.)

• Keep a positive attitude and accept that there are events that you cannot control.

• Be assertive instead of aggressive. Assert your feelings, opinions, or beliefs instead of becoming angry, defensive, or passive.

• Learn and practice relaxation techniques; try meditation, yoga, or tai-chi for stress management.

• Exercise regularly. Your body can fight stress better when it is fit.

• Eat healthy, well-balanced meals. (Stop the comfort eating. I’m getting into a habit of eating things because they feel good not because I’m hungry or even really want them.)

• Learn to manage your time more effectively, making time for hobbies, interests, and relaxation.

• Set limits appropriately and learn to say no to requests that would create excessive stress in your life.

• Get enough rest and sleep. Your body needs time to recover from stressful events.

• Don’t rely on alcohol, drugs, or compulsive

SINCE 1988

behaviors to reduce stress.

• Seek out social support. Spend enough time with those you enjoy.

• Aromatherapy can help lower anxiety and stress. Light a candle or use essential oils to benefit from calming scents.

• High quantities of caffeine can increase stress and anxiety. However, people’s sensitivity to caffeine can vary greatly.

• Keeping a journal can help relieve stress and anxiety, especially if you focus on the positive.

It also occupies your time.

• According to several studies, chewing gum may help you relax. It may also promote wellbeing and reduce stress. (At our age you may want to consider something else that won’t have an impact on your teeth and fillings.)

• (Laugh as much as you can) Find the humor in everyday life, (call a friend and tell them something funny) or watch a comedy show.

• You don’t feel well and it is different call 9-11. After the virus is gone, consider joining the First Aid Squad. All the volunteer squads need more volunteers. Come to 100 Port Royal and volunteer for an interesting and rewarding job.

We cover an area that includes 1,0765 homes.

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Testing hours will be reduced starting on the fi rst week of June at the Ocean County College’s test center for residents testing for the coronavirus.

The drive thru testing site on the Toms River campus will continue to be done on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but the hours will be changed to 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “We have been watching the appointment schedule and reviewing the number of tests being done the days we are there,� Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye said..

He added, “at this time we are comfortable in reducing the hours and we can still meet the testing needs of our residents. It remains imperative that people follow the requirements to be tested at the college.�

Regenye said. “We do not want anyone to show up at this testing site without following the requirements we have put in place. We are not going to do any health screenings at the site. It is just for testing for the virus.�

The testing requirements remain the same for the site. Ocean County Health Department officials are reminding residents of the requirements to be tested include: • You must be an Ocean County resident and have identification. • You must have a healthcare practitioner script. • You must make an online appointment at www.ochd.org. • You must be symptomatic. • Entry to the college site is from the Hooper Avenue entrance.

Regenye said that any practitioner (including Nurse Practitioner, Advanced Practice Nurse, Medical Doctor, Physician Assistant etc.) who has “prescriptive� privileges in New Jersey can write a script for COVID testing, it does not necessarily have to be a physician.

He stressed that with many health care providers currently doing telemedicine, individuals do not need to see a physician in person to obtain the necessary script.

The hospitals assisting in staffing the testing site - both Hackensack Meridian Health and RWJ Barnabas Healthcare System - have telemedicine opportunities to assist Ocean County residents obtain the required healthcare practitioner script before traveling to the testing center.

The telemedicine services at the hospitals can be accessed at Hackensack Meridian Health (Ocean Medical Center, Southern Ocean Medical Center) hackensackmeridian health.org/covid19/ RWJ Bar nabas Healthcare System (Community Medical Center, Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus) RWJBHtelemed.org use code RWJBH15

Regenye said that many pharmacies and other testing sites for asymptomatic people have opened throughout the state with some located in Ocean County. “While we remain a testing site solely for residents that have shown symptoms of Covid 19, we are recommending others who may want to be tested that are asymptomatic and do not have a script or are looking to have the antibody test done can access testing site information from various websites,� Regenye said.

Two websites providing this information are: covid19.nj.gov/pages/testing and covid19.nj.gov/pages/testing#test-sites.

Around 4,500 COVID-19 tests have been performed at the drive thru testing site at Ocean County College.

Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said, “this drive thru testing site has been a cooperative effort by a number of agencies. It has gone very smoothly.�

Partners in the testing site include U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management under Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy, the Ocean County Health Department, RWJ Barnabas Health Southern Region and Hackensack Meridian Health and Ocean County College. “Residents remain in their cars and medical personnel perform a nasal swab at the OCC site,� Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little said. Little is liaison to the Ocean County Health Department.

Little added, “we are working to make this convenient and more importantly safe for the public, the health care providers on site and staff.�

As of May 28, Ocean County has recorded 8,527 cases of the coronavirus.

Regenye emphasized that anyone getting the test should continue self-isolating after receiving it. “If you have symptoms, you should be returning home immediately after being tested and continue self- quarantining. If you have the coronavirus you will be spreading it if you are not isolating,� Regenye said.

Once the test has been performed, it’s anticipated to take about three to five days for results to be returned. “All the results will be available on the BioReference Laboratories Patient Portal: Bioreference.com/patients/ and through the Ocean County Health Department residents will be notified whether they test positive or negative,� Regenye added.

T he most com mon sy mpt om s of COVID-19 are fever, fatigue, a dry cough and shortness of breath. Ocean County has also established a process to ensure that people with test results are informed in a timely manner and provided with guidance, consultation and next steps.

Menendez:

Continued From Page 9 the sale. In May 2019, Pompeo relied on deception to declare 22 arms sales were an “emergency,” including nearly 60,000 precision-guided bombs that the Saudis had previously rained down upon innocent Yemeni civilians. The so-called emergency? To “deter further Iranian adventurism.”

Sadly, subsequent Iranian attacks against oil facilities at Abqaiq and aggression in the Arabian Gulf confi rmed these sales had little to do with deterrence of Iran and everything to do with placating bin Salman.

In fact, Iran’s continued aggressive behavior and advances in nuclear technology development reconfirm its malign intentions in the region.

There was no emergency. It was a fabricated tale to reward an eager and unsavory customer of US arms.

As a result, I led a bipartisan coalition that passed 22 Senate resolutions disapproving the sales. The House of Representatives followed suit.

While we couldn’t overturn Trump’s veto, we made clear that the Congress strongly rejected the administration’s sellout of US security and moral principles. Today, a year later, there is still no justification for the US to sell bombs to Saudi Arabia.

That is why I am particularly troubled that the State Department has again refused to explain the need to sell thousands more

bombs to Saudi Arabia on top of the thousands that have yet to be delivered from last year’s “emergency.” The secretary of state needs to answer our questions. What is their reasoning to continue selling weapons to the Saudis? Why should Congress allow Trump to continue currying personal favor with a capricious Saudi despot who thinks he can butcher his critics without consequences?

Ironically, that is why Inspectors General exist. They are key to a functioning democracy and their independence is paramount to conducting effective oversight of our federal agencies. Not coincidentally, Pompeo choked that accountability mechanism when he had Inspector General Linick silenced. We still don’t know exactly why Pompeo did it, but we know that Linick was seeking answers to these questions. That is why I joined forces with House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel to open a bicameral investigation into what appears to be a politically motivated act of retaliation designed to protect Pompeo.

As inconvenient as the President and the Secretary might find Congressional oversight or Inspectors General, we will continue doing our jobs. The question remains: why is the President and his top diplomat working so hard to prop up one of the world’s worst despots? Until we have an answer, Congress must reject this new multi-million dollar sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia.

COVID-19 Cancels Monmouth County Fair

MONMOUTH COUNTY – Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, officials have canceled the 2020 Monmouth County Fair. According to a post on Facebook, careful consideration was given and there was no way organizers could ensure safety and social distancing

methods in an event that draws thousands each year.

Organizers said they are already looking ahead to the summer of 2021 and hope to have the best fair ever.

The Ocean County Fair was also canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome By: Jessica Abraham, OT, Certified Hand Therapist, Toms River Location

Have you ever woken up with a sensation of pins and needles in your fingers? Do you find that you are dropping objects more frequently? If you answered yes to those questions, then you may be experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) often starts as a general sensation of aching or weakness throughout the wrist and hand and can lead to numbness and tingling into your fingers. An increase in symptoms can be experienced as the condition progresses and may start to have an impact on your daily activities. Evidence suggests that 3% of women and 2% of men will experience carpal tunnel symptoms in their lifetime and the average age of onset is 55 or older.

To begin, let’s discuss the anatomy of the carpal tunnel. There is a small, internal space on the palm side of the wrist and this space is called the carpal tunnel. The top or roof of the carpal tunnel is formed by a ligament that runs across the wrist. The median nerve and several flexor tendons run through this tunnel. The median nerve is responsible for providing sensation to the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by excess pressure being applied to the median nerve at the wrist level. The extra pressure on the nerve can decrease the nerve’s ability to send its signal to the fingers causing a sensation of pins and needles. You can think of the median nerve as a garden hose; when you step on a hose the flow of water is decreased and when the pressure is taken off, the water can flow freely. This is the same concept with the median nerve and the extra pressure that can occur in the carpal tunnel.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: • Tingling/Numbness in the palm side of your thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. You will not feel these symptoms in the small finger with carpal tunnel syndrome. This often occurs during prolonged gripping activities such as holding a phone or newspaper or can occur at night. Many people often wake up with the sensation of numbness in their hand and find themselves ‘shaking out’ their hand for relief.

• Weakness throughout the hand and fingers. People often report feeling clumsy or will frequently drop objects.

• Pain that radiates from the wrist down into the hand or travels up the forearm toward the shoulder.

CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS: The exact cause of CTS is typically unknown. Compression or pressure on the median nerve can happen in several ways including: • Repetitive use of hand and fingers • Keeping the wrist in a bent position for a prolonged period of time • Inflammation of the tendons that run through the carpal tunnel • Water retention • Pregnancy Research has shown that conditions such as arthritis, wrist fractures, or dislocations may cause the carpal tunnel to narrow. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, individuals with metabolic conditions, such as diabetes, are at higher risk for CTS. Women are three times more likely to experience carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms than men and it rarely affects children. According to the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, in severe cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness can be permanent and there may be a loss in the muscle mass at the base of the thumb.

TREATMENT OPTIONS: There are several treatment options for CTS including occupational therapy. An occupational therapist is a skilled health professional who will evaluate your condition and how the symptoms are impacting your ability to complete your daily activities. Some treatment options include: • Wrist splinting to provide support and keep the wrist straight to reduce pressure being applied to the median nerve. Wrist splints are typically worn at night to bed to reduce symptoms that may interfere with sleep.

• Activity modification techniques to continue to participate in daily and recreational activities without increasing CTS symptoms.

• Stretching and strengthening exercises to help reduce pain and improve grip strength and function of the hand. An occupational therapist will be able to design and implement a

treatment program to assist in alleviating your symptoms.

Corticosteroid injections, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, and use of vitamins such as B6, may also be used in conjunction with therapy to help reduce symptoms. If conservative treatment is not successful in alleviating symptoms, carpal tunnel surgery has proven successful in alleviating CTS symptoms.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can have a significant impact on all aspects of your daily routine. Early diagnosis is important to prevent irreversible damage to the median nerve and prevent you from participating in your daily activities. At All-Care Physical Therapy, our Hand Therapist specializes in the treatment of carpal tunnel and other hand disorders. Contact your physician if you are experiencing these symptoms and ask if an Occupational Therapist at All-Care can help.

Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

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

The New Normal According To Dr. Izzy New Jersey is continuing to identify new cases of COVID-19 but our “curve” will continue to flatten but the virus will remain with us for at least the remainder of the year. In my opinion, the “new normal” will include a) social distancing, b) continued use of wearing a mask, c) frequent hand washing, and d) no more hugs for a while. Telepractice will become increasing popular in all medical fields, including hearing healthcare. Remote programming of hearing aids has been available for several years, but in my opinion, the majority of our patients calling our offices cannot benefit from remote programming.

During this pandemic, due to the frequent use of wearing a mask, dozens have “lost” their hearing instruments or broke a receiver wire. Many other patients have a “dead” hearing aid and the only way to fix it is to send it back to the manufacturer. Remote programming would be a complete waste of time in these instances.

We have continued to offer “curbside services” and/or drop off services at our Toms River office. This concierge service is critical during this time of uncertainty as well as the increased importance of communication with family and friends.

As our offices begin to transition to opening again, the “new normal” will require us to scan temperatures, ask patients specific questions related to covid-19 symptoms, stagger appointments so there’s no more than two patients in our office at the same time and allow extra time to disinfect all areas once the patient has left. This “new normal” will significantly limit the total number of patients we can see but it’s absolutely critical to follow these procedures at least for the remainder of the year.

For over 30 years, Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and/ or 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 support.

If you need our help, please call us at 732-818-3610. We will be re-opening very soon!

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!

Dr. Izzy

How To Get Rid Of Moths

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Let me start with I’m not really a bug lover, or a tree hugger type of person.

But I don’t see the need to kill certain creatures just because they got lost and found their way into my home. I will try to trap and free certain things, depending on how big they are.

But the moths are creating marital stress. Sam is skittish about doing bug removal, but the agreement we had when we got married in the state of Florida, was that he would deal with all cockroaches and spiders, if I would deal with the snakes and mice. While there have been tense stares over the past 22 years of marriage, I will vouch for his ability to perfectly execute his husbandly tasks, lol!

Nothing was discussed about the moths. Apparently, this is my new fulltime job. We live in Colorado where every spring, there’s a situation! The migration of moths begins here and in Kansas, and f lies over our state, westward.

You can try to chase moths out of your house, but this takes patience.

Find one on your window, and put a cup over him, and then slide a sheet of paper between the cup and the glass.

Very carefully lift this, and free the moth outside. There’s one aggressive sucker is in my bathroom so I decided to make my own moth repellant spray.

The essential oils can be purchased anywhere.

Try my formula for a moth spray and spritz it in your closet, your bedroom or

kitchen, or anywhere, and it will repel them from coming into that specific area. It will scare away most bugs for that matter!

Spray every few hours. Adjust the scent to your liking. For example, add less eucalyptus and more lavender if you find my formula too zingy for you.

Don’t spray it directly on your clothes.

Moth Repellant Spray Water 4 ounces Essential oil of Cedar - 20 - 30 drops Essential oil of Lavender - 10 - 20 drops Essential oil of Peppermint - 5 - 10 drops Essential oil of Eucalyptus - 10 - 20 drops Optional: Citronella Essential Oil - 5 drops Directions: Pour water into the spray bottle and add the essential oils. If you don’t like the scent, add something to it that you do like, such as Wild Orange or Lemon essential oil. Spray as desired into the room, or window sills, door frames and areas where you see a moth.

In closing, there are many ways to get rid of moths. You definitely don’t want these things laying eggs in your home because when they hatch, you’ll be faced with a big infestation. They can’t live more than a few days without feeding on plants or leaves. Another idea is to buy fresh rosemary or thyme herb, and bundle it, and lay it in the closet, or the bathroom because the moths won’t like that and they’ll stay away. For that matter, you can add those two essential oils to your moth spritzer.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Reviewing Your Estate Planning Documents In Light Of The Coronavirus By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates With the coronavirus in the headlines today, a lot of clients are asking whether they need to update their Estate Planning documents which include Last Wills and Testaments, Powers of Attorney and Living Wills. In general, Estate Planning documents do not have to be revised because of age. Rather, they need to be revised when they no longer do what you need them to do. As important as it is to have these Estate Planning documents, it is equally important to keep them up to date.

For example, are the persons who you named to inherit under you will still the persons that you want to inherit? Do you still want all of your children to inherit equally if you made gifts to one of your children during your lifetime? Did you provide for a trust for the benefit of your then minor children and they are now all over the age of 18 years? Do the persons that you named in your Will as the Executor still have the ability to perform the tasks associated with being an Executor? Do you have grandchildren that you want to name in your Will? If those grandchildren are under the age of 18 years, do you want their inheritance held by another person until they reach the age of 18, or maybe even older? Do you have a beneficiary who is receiving government assistance that would be disqualified by receiving an inheritance from you?

Do you have a Power of Attorney? If so, do the persons named in the Power of Attorney still have the capability to perform the functions as your Attorney in Fact?

Does your Power of Attorney list alternates in case the persons you named to act for you are not capable of acting on your behalf?

If you have a Living Will, have you looked at it recently to make sure the decisions you previously made as to life sustaining treatment are still what you want now. Has there been any change in your medical condition that is different now as opposed to when you made you Living Will? Are the persons you named in your Living Will as your Health Care Representatives still the persons that you want? Are they capability of acting in that capacity?

We normally suggest that you take out your Estate Planning documents once a year and read them over to make sure that those documents still do what you remember that they did and what you need them to do now. However, in this time of medical concerns, it is a good idea to review your documents now to make sure you are protected in the event that you should become ill. We further suggest that you read your Estate Planning documents whenever there is a major event in your life such as a birth, death, divorce, change in financial status (you or your beneficiaries) or a change in mental capacity.

The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 years of combined experience in reviewing and preparing Estate Planning documents. Please call us to go over your Estate Planning needs.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day Set For June 13

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Ocean County’s Household Hazardous Waste collection day will have some extra precautions in place when it takes place on June 13 in Toms River.

The event is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Toms River Public Works Garage, 1672 Church Road, Toms River.

Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gary Quinn, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management said, “we want to make sure everyone’s safety is a priority as this event moves forward, and it is important that residents follow the guidelines to make this a success.”

Quinn added, “residents dropping off material will remain in their cars essentially making the collection a drive thru in order to limit contact.We want to hold this program because we feel we can do it safely and we take great pride in our environment in Ocean County, and this program helps reduce the potential for environmental damage.”

The collection is open to all residents of Ocean County, but businesses and institutions are not eligible. Registration is required either online at co.ocean.nj.us/ recycle or by calling 732-506-5047.

The following guidelines are in place for the event: • Residents must wear face coverings.

• Vehicle windows and doors must stay closed throughout the event.

• To check in, hold a Driver’s License up to your closed window.

• Stay in your vehicle at all times.

• Place materials in the vehicle’s trunk or truck bed, workers will remove all items directly and will not enter the interior of your vehicle.

“For over 30 years this program has helped our residents safely dispose of hazardous materials,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said.

Vicari added, “While it may be a little different this year, we can make this work by following guidelines to protect the public and those working onsite.”

The items that can be dropped off include: aerosols, auto products, batteries, cleaning products, chemicals/pool chemicals, fire ex-

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

By Michael Vandenberg For almost 25 years, “Exceptional Care without Exception” has been the motto and guiding pr inc iple for N ew Jersey Hematolo gy Oncology Associates (NJHOA). If you’ve gotten that terrible cancer diagnosis, or are in the midst of a blood disease, you’ll want to come to a practice where you’re treated with dignity and efficiency. A place where you can get compassionate care with a smile. That plac e has always been NJHOA. Dr. Gir ish A min started the practice i n 19 9 6 i n B r i c k .

His approach was highly suc c es sf ul and well-regarded,

Exceptional Care Without Exception At NJ Hematology Oncology Associates

s o i t wa s n’ t l o n g before he decided to add more locations across Ocean Count y and addi tional doctors who shared his philosophy. Dr. Jayne Pavlak- Schenk joined the team in 2000.

Currently there are four doctors on staff, including Dr. Apurv Agrawal and Dr. Randi Katz.

T h ey a r e l o c ate d at 1608 Route 88 West, Suite 250 in Brick; Winding River Medical Park at 508 L akehur st Road, Suite 1B in Toms River; Hope Tower at 19 Davis Avenue, 2nd Floor in Neptune; and 63D Lacey Road in Whiting.

Since our last prof ile on NJHOA , a new doctor joined the team: Dr. Randi

Dr. Randi Katz

Katz. Although she may be new to the practice, she knows the area well, having practiced Hematology and Oncology in both Ocean and Monmouth counties for over 10 years.

She keeps busy helping the valued pat i e nt s of t h e s e counties, being on staff at Ocean Medical Center, Jersey Shore Medical Center, and Community Medical Center. She employs joint-decision making with all of her patients.

It’s not just NJHOA’s overall philosophy on patient care that draws like-minded physicians like Dr. Kat z to the prac tic e, but also the amount of services they provide for patients. A lot of their

focus is specifically on diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the prac tic e places a great deal of value on symptom management to maximize the quality of life of their patients. They accomplish that not just with medic ations, but by c reating a share d c are p lan with their patients and their families to help them achieve their goals of care.

NJ H OA t r i e s to keep most aspects of testing and treatm e nt i n - h o u s e i n an effort to provide complete care for cancer and prioritize convenience for their patients. The practice features a state-of-the-art lab for testing including r out ine bl o o d work, flow cytometry for blood disorders, hereditar y cancer screening tests, and molecular profiling of tumors. NJHOA also offers on-site i nf u s i o n s of c h e motherapy, monoclonal antibodies, biological agents, hor mone therapy, iron infusions, therapeutic phlebotomy, and bone mar row aspiration and biopsy. They also infuse immunotherapy treatments including Provenge, Yer voy, Opdivo, Key truda, and Tecentriq.

There is an on-site pharmacy for dispensing oral medic ations including oral chemotherapy medications.

The practice molecularly profiles tumors of their cancer patients when appropriate to help create a targeted treatment plan. Dr.

Dr. Apurv Agrawal Agrawal explained that, “targeted treatment based on molecular profiling of a patients tumor offers not only a personalized treatment but a greater likelihood of success for patients”. Molecular profiling of tumors and immunotherapy are on the forefront of cancer treatment.

Besides treatment, they also offer hereditary canc er sc reening for their patients. “The genes we are born with may contribute to our risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer,” said D r. A m i n. “ I f yo u have a family history of cancer, we

can help you understand your risk for disease. We of fer genetic counseling and testing, and can assist you in making info r m e d m e dic al decisions.”

One Toms River resident was planning to enroll in a clinical trial in New York Cit y to treat h e r S t ag e 4 lun g c anc er. T he do c tor in NYC advised the patient to see Dr. Agrawal since that same clinical trial was available at NJHOA . It was practically next door and she’d still be able to participate in the trial. It was a win-win, thanks to the practice having a robust clinical trial program. “Some cancer patients may

fear that enrolling in a clinical trial means they might receive a plac ebo or that the treatment might h ave a d ve r s e ef fects, but the reality is that patients in clinical trials receive either the best c a n c e r t r e at m e nt currently known for them or new, and possibly more effective, therapy,” said Dr. Pavlak-Schenk.

New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates offers complete cancer care and allows patients to get cutting edge treatment close to home. Give them a call today at 732840-8880 to schedule an appointment, or feel free to visit NJHOA .com for more information.

United Way’s Women United Hosts Diaper Drive

NEW JERSEY – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Women United leadership group is hosting a diaper drive in order to provide a desperately needed resource to families in our community. There are many parents and caregivers in Monmouth and Ocean counties who unfortunately lack a sufficient supply of diapers for their young children to remain clean, dry and healthy.

Diapers cost an average of $80 a month for one baby, and they cannot be obtained with WIC, food stamps, or any other government program. Diaper need can be more distressing than not having enough food for their family. Parents with diaper need have also reported more difficulty with stress management and coping with trauma, which can negatively affect a child’s growth and development.

“Financial challenges existed for many families prior to the COVID-19 crisis, but now with additional obstacles such as job loss, rising costs of food and scarcity of basic necessities, they are having to make even more difficult decisions about

how their limited funds are spent,” said Kelly Fliller, Chair of United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Women United. “Part of Women United’s mission is to improve the lives of youth and their families, so we are very happy to help supply this unmet need, especially during these uncertain and unprecedented times.”

Diapers in any size, any brand and in any amount can be donated through Women United’s Target wish list now through June 19, 2020: tgt.gifts/WomenUnitedDiaper. Diapers can also be purchased in stores and dropped off at the United Way office on June 18 from 12pm-4pm or June 19 from 9am-1pm.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Governor Announces Date For More Reopening

NJ Electrical Lic#15158A • NJ Hic Lic#4538 • HVACR LIC#720

By Bob Vosseller TRENTON − The governor announced June 15 as the date that New Jersey would be entering Phase Two of its reopening.

“Public health determines economic health and data determines dates,” Gov. Phil Murphy said on June 1.

Phase Two has been described by the state has having restrictions relaxed on activities that can easily be safeguarded. Phased-in businesses may include: • Expanded retail • Safeguarded restaurants with outdoor seating • Limited personal care • Possibly indoor dining, museums, and libraries, all with significantly reduced capacity More work activities will be allowed at physical locations only if they adhere to safeguarding and modification guidelines.

All workers who can work from home should continue to work from home.

“We have lost around 12,000 people because of the coronavirus and we know we will lose more,” he said. “We know that right now there is no cure. There is no vaccine.

“We’re already seeing the results of responsible planning. Key metrics of hospitalizations have dropped dramatically. It was only weeks ago that we feared that ICUs (intensive care units) would have run out of room but we are seeing they have plenty of equipment and room including ventilators,” Murphy said.

He added that 20,000 tests of the coronavi-

rus can occur each day. “New Jersey leads the nation in daily testing per capita due to everyone’s hard work. We will keep building to remain number one. We set and then met and exceeded them to lead the nation.”

Non-essential stores would be able to welcome back customers on June 15 inside.

“Our gyms and health clubs will be able to open at limited capacities soon and we’ll have a date for that soon,” the governor added. Salons and hair facilities may open

by June 27.

“Those workers who can work from home will be expected to keep having their workers working at home. Let’s use common sense. We still face challenges. We are still seeing more people testing positive than any other state but we are testing more,” Gov. Murphy said.

Gov. Murphy said that while the state is preparing to open up, “we cannot do it blindly.” He noted the 11,721 deaths blamed on the coronavirus as of that day.

“We are responding responsibly in the face of this pandemic and the tremendous toll it has taken in this state. In recent weeks we have been able to take our first steps on our road back with our restart and our recovery with small and meaningful steps…Steps to get all our construction officers back on the job, to allow our retail stores to serve more customers through curb side pickup starting the process of greenlighting summer day camps, to resume sports and the beaches,” Murphy said. Murphy could not yet say how Stage Two would impact the opening Motor Vehicle Commission offices in the state.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 6 - JUNE 12

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep your temper on a tight leash in the week ahead even when it’s tempting to let it loose. You may be happiest when working as a team with some friendly people, but be discreet and avoid being too playful.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you can’t win a war of wits, you may try to compete with your wallet. In the week ahead you may consider casually spending money just to prove a point. Avoid the temptation to please others no matter the cost.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Handling fastpaced activities and results-driven people may deplete your storehouse of social skills in the week ahead. Take a second look at bills, emails and proposals, as you might miss the fine print.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): To make money, sometimes you must spend money. However, during the upcoming week you might notice that expenditures outweigh the benefits. You may suffer from an illusion that you are in total control.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Once you have a goal in mind, it may be difficult to stop thinking about it. Avoid any relentless quest for now, as this may offend friends or partners who feel left out of the equation. Be energetic but not headstrong this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the week ahead, keep your sights fixed on achieving major long-term goals even when new ideas, desires and distractions crop up. Don’t accept vague answers or ask misleading questions when money is involved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your head might not understand what your heart already knows. At some point during the upcoming week you might realize that one of your best ideas was a mere fantasy. Don’t take a casual flirtation too seriously.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your warmth and friendliness are potent tonics best used in small doses as this week unfolds. Focus on finding longterm solutions to temporary financial problems.

Don’t be too proud to ask for advice or guidance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You probably know best when it comes to handling your resources as this week unfolds. Some people may urge you to spend today and pay tomorrow, but you have a long-term vision of prosperity to bank on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your generosity knows no bounds, but someone else may count on that. A co-worker or acquaintance may inadvertently cause you financial hardship. In the week ahead, remember “neither a borrower nor a lender be.�

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone in your intimate circle could rub you the wrong way during the week to come. Abrasive individuals in the workplace could put you on your guard as well.

Don’t take criticism personally but see the lesson.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Staging an intervention in an effective way may require all your diplomatic skills and your gentlest management. You may find yourself dealing with anger issues in the week ahead when someone doesn’t get their way.
