The gardens are coming to life this season.

By Judy Smestad-Nunn LAKEWOOD - Physician assistant Connie Petine said she cried when she found out that fellow members of the Four Seasons Garden Club would take care of her vegetable patch since she had little time for weeding and watering during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.

Petine, 60, works for

an offshoot of the Visiting Nurse Association and was working 50- to 60-hour weeks on the frontlines, performing in-car COVID-19 testing on nurses in West Orange, Asbury Park and Freehold.

“Taking care of my garden is such an act of human kindness,” she said from a designated common area of the adult

open up with safety features in place, the mayors said.

The stay-at-home orders have worked to slow the virus, the letter said.

However, the state needs to relax restrictions on commerce.

“Our citizens have learned to adjust and adhere to social distancing guidelines along with

the businesses who have been fortunate enough to be allowed to open,” the letter stated. “Those businesses have adjusted their standard practices so that commerce can continue in a safe manner. It is time to allow all others to follow suit.”

The letter was initiated

by Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato, who said

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - Roadways were largely deserted during the first weeks of the coronavirus pandemic, and traffic summonses were “way down,” said Brick Police Chief James Riccio, but as time went on, that is no longer the case, he said in a recent phone interview.

“Right now, we’re getting back to - if you want to call it - normal,” he said. “In the height of it, we weren’t pulling over cars unless it was absolutely necessary, like reckless driving, because of the potential for exposure [to the coronavirus].

When Traffic Unit officers weren’t handling traffic calls, they were in the neighborhoods, doing some selective enforcement based on where there are numerous accidents, or in areas where there are complaints about speeding or other violations, he said.

community, where Garden Club members pay $10 annually for a 4’ x 14’ patch.

“The other members wanted to feed our souls, and it looks beautiful,” Petine said, who is growing basil, zucchini and tomatoes. “And they’re still maintaining it for me.”

Garden Club committee member Tony Sclafani, 77, came up with the

idea of caring for the gardens for the community’s healthcare workers, and brought the idea before the board.

“The hospital workers couldn’t do their patches because they were too busy at the hospitals and health care facilities,” Sclafani said. “So we said, let’s do it for them.”

20 Mayors Call For State Reopening

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Twenty Ocean County mayors sent a joint letter to Gov. Phil Murphy calling for the state to be opened back up to save the economy.

Recently, the governor has eased some restrictions, including setting dates for when more restrictions will be cancelled.

The summer season

is already upon us, and already valuable weeks have gone by, the mayors said.

“It is in everyone’s best interest to allow those that want to work and spend to be free to do so,” they said. “We realize your restrictions are being lessened in phases, but that is not (Mayors - See Page 2)

Parents Of Autistic Children Face Challenges Of Pandemic Lockdown

By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – The closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic have created new challenges for parents who have had to juggle being part-time educators as well.

For those parents with children who are autistic, that challenge is even more daunting.

“Times are tough for everyone but can be particularly hard for people with autism and parents of children on the spectrum.

Parents are serving as teacher, aide, behavioral therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist and many other roles crucial for their child’s progress and development,” said Donna S. Murray, PhD. She is vice president of clinical programs (Autism - See Page 11)

Garden:

Continued From Page 1 weed, water and fertilize the patches until the health care workers’ schedules return to normal.

Mariya Costanzo, 47, is an RN who works in the Rapid Diagnosis Unit at Community Medical Center in Toms River. She regularly works 12.5-hour shifts.

“I love gardening, and I would normally come everyday,” she said. “This year I thought it would be a waste of time, but I bought plants anyway.”

When Sclafani came to her and offered to take care of her vegetable garden, Costanzo said she thought he was kidding.

“It looks great; now I’ll have my own vegetables,” she said. Costanzo grows eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes.

She was not in attendance, but Wanda Rodriguez is another healthcare worker from Four Seasons who is a member of the Garden Club.

Garden Club Chair Ed Schneider said that the Four Seasons developer donated the common space back when the community was first built.

“We have a resident architect who designed the tool shed for the Garden Club, and a resident laid out our stone work,” he said.

The Garden Club has 130 patches, and many of the 65 members have multiple patches.

Residents of Four Seasons are not allowed to grow vegetables in their yards, so the common area is a good alternative, Schneider said.

All the patches have vegetables growing in them, except for the occasional marigold, which is a natural insect repellent, he said.

“We are so pleased to have the healthcare heroes,” Schneider said. “We owe them a debt of gratitude for what they’ve been doing to protect us from COVID-19.”

Garden Club member Tom DeMartino, who is an artist and crafter who offers virtual workshops to nursing homes and veterans groups through his “Unique Creatique” enterprise, presented each of the first responders with a birdhouse nightlight bottle.

DeMartino runs his patch year-round by enclosing it with corrugated plastic.

“We are happy to help our community members who have no time to take care of their patch,” he said. “And we also like to help the newbies,” DeMartino added.

Mayors:

Continued From Page 1 quick enough. They need to be done now and businesses need to return to normal operating procedures with the ability to handle normal inventory and customer demands to the best of their ability.”

During the last few months, the mayors said they have seen people working together, making sacrifices, and helping each other to get through the pandemic. The officials had faith in the residents and business owners that this will continue when everything opens up again.

Not everyone is going to feel safe shopping once restrictions are lifted, but they should be given that option, they said.

The joint letter was a way of showing a unified, bipartisan front. It was signed by the mayors of Bay Head, Beach Haven, Beachwood, Berkeley, Brick, Lacey, Lakehurst, Lavallette, Little Egg Harbor, Long Beach Township, Manchester, Mantoloking, Ocean Gate, Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, Stafford, Toms River and Tuckerton.

Police:

Continued From Page 1 “I want my officers out there doing traffic enforcement, but I’m more concerned about them getting into the neighborhoods, checking on businesses - many of which were closed - and things of that nature,” he said.

In the early days, the chief said the department changed a lot of their patrol plans and limited the type of calls the officers would go on, and changed the way in which the officers would handle those calls.

During normal times, the department always sends a police officer on EMS calls, but during the height of the pandemic, police officers did not go to certain first aid calls where there was no need for an officer, such as when there was a call from a nursing home, he said.

“They might respond and make sure that the person was not in some type of distress or cardiac arrest, and then back off once they realized first aid was there, if there was no reason to unnecessarily expose them,” he said.

At the beginning of the public health crisis, Riccio said the department cancelled some of the selective enforcement special details to limit the officers’ exposure to the virus, but those details are back up and running now.

“We were fortunate, because in the beginning we saw the potential of what was coming and we were able to get our officers the proper PPE (personal protective equipment) when this first broke,” Riccio said.

“Our ability to protect them and give them the proper PPE is what kept our officers healthy.”

Asked if the officers have been breaking up large illegal gatherings, the police chief said there were very few complaints. There were a couple of incidents when large crowds gathered on beaches or other areas that were closed, but the residents of Brick were complying with the state orders as they

came out, he said.

“Besides that, people weren’t having the big gatherings that you heard about in other towns,” Riccio said. “If they were, people weren’t reporting them.”

Other crime in town has remained about the same, he said. There are normally 55 to 60 domestic calls a month, and those numbers have not increased.

Brick Police are not involved with evictions; those are handled by the Sheriff ’s Department.

The township had planned to hire 11 new police officers, but that number was cut to one because of budget constraints. As a result, Riccio said the department is short 18 officers, which includes officers who are out with injuries. He said he hopes the 11 officers would get hired once things get back to normal.

And finally, Chief Riccio was asked if Brick has been impacted by the recent protests and looting that began in the aftermath of the police chokehold killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

“No, and I think it’s because we have a very good relationship with our community,” Riccio said.

“We obviously denounce everything we’ve seen happening in regard to Mr. Floyd being killed, and we understand peoples’ frustrations and their right to protest” he said. “We stand behind that, that we don’t condone, obviously, police brutality in any way, shape or form.”

The Police Chief said that Brick police officers are trained to use the minimum amount of force that is necessary to control someone, and they always try to make sure there are enough officers to physically restrain someone when needed.

“The choke hold is never used, and police are not allowed to use chokeholds in Brick.” he said. “We just train them continually about using only the minimum amount of force necessary to get the situation under control.”

Brick Murder Suspect Extradited To NJ

By Chris Lundy BRICK – A suspect in a murder who fled to Houston has been returned to New Jersey, police said.

Mayra Gavilanez-Alectus, 48, of Brick, has been extradited from Houston, Texas to New Jersey in connection with the murder of Rebecca Gavilanez-Alectus, 32, of Brick, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer and Brick Township Police Chief James Riccio.

“The defendant was processed this afternoon at the Brick Township Police Department and is currently lodged in the Ocean County Jail,” Billhimer said.

An investigation revealed that she was responsible for the death of Rebecca Gavilanez-Alectus on May 17. The weapon is believed to be a “cylindrical container used for the purpose of chilling wine,” police said.

Mayra Gavilanez-Alectus was ultimately tracked down and taken into custody by law

enforcement in Houston Texas. There, she was apprehended by members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Marshals Service, and Houston Police Department.

She faces charges of Murder; Unlawful Possession of a Weapon; and Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose. These charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.

Prosecutor Billhimer and Brick Police Chief James Riccio would like to acknowledge the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, Brick Township Police Department, Brick Township Police Department Detective Bureau, Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Department of Homeland Security, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, New York Police Department, United States Marshals Service, and Houston Police Department.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Dying Of Isolation With reference to the ar ticle in the May 23, 2020 Manchester Times “Manchester Residents May Be Dying Of Fear,” I agree that this may be true. However, it may also be true that they are dying of isolation. Isolation can cause depression and panic attacks, among other things, which may result in chest pains, dizziness and even slurred speech.

These people have had their known lives pulled out from under their feet – no clubhouse, no f lea markets, no thrift shops, no expos, no library, no banks, no estate sales or yard sales, and most of all no church!

Also, many don’t have a computer. We read the papers and watch the news but are usually told to go to some website. We don’t have FaceTime or Skype to visit with others.

People can waste away when there is virtually no place for them to go but crazy! Many may be there already, but many more might also go there shortly if they do not open up the state and release us from this solitary confi nement.

God bless you all and may we be back at our church services soon.

Silence As Trump Tear Gasses Public We watched as tear gas and rubber bullets were used against a peaceful crowd exercisi ng t hei r First Amendment rights to assemble and protest in Lafayette Park across from the White House, the People’s House. This was done to clear a path for the current occupant to stride across the park, wielding a Bible for the sole purpose of having a photo op at St. John’s Episcopal Church. Rather than offering words of wisdom, hope, and healing in the face of our suffering, the President instead sought to drive us further apart, using faith as a weapon.

As an American and an Episcopalian I am deeply disturbed. I have attended peaceful protests and marches in that very park and worshiped as an Episcopalian in our nation’s Capital and here at home in New Jersey. Last night we witnessed a stunning betrayal of our Constit ution, an utter lack of presidential leadership, and a corrupt, co-opting of Christianity.

Every one of us deserves to feel safe in our communities. The President’s actions will not deter a single looter. They will not contribute to easing the unrest. They do not restore order. T hey do not make us safer. And, of cou r se, he is doi ng nothing to retur n us to the still-u rgent task of fighting the pandemic that is ravaging New Jersey and America; or the task of improving healthcare a nd st re ng t he n i ng ou r communities.

As we face this time of deep un rest and cr isis, Re p. Ch r is Sm it h’s silence is deafening. New Jerseyans sent Smith to Washington to support his party when it is right and defy it when it is wrong.

I n st e a d , he r ef u se s t o stand up to the President,

Letters To there The Editor weren’t four white even as our constitutional rights are trampled upon, and he has left New Jersey to survive dual tragedies without his leadership. If these injustices were happening in China he would be st andi ng up for the protesters’ human rights, but as our own democratic fabric is shredded he does nothing. Smith and his cowardice do not deserve to represent our community anymore. He won’t speak up and he won’t lead. Send me to Congress and I will.

As a United States Foreign Service Officer and diplomat I proudly worked t o a dva nce democ r a cy and human rights overseas. As the Democrat running to represent New Jersey’s 4th District and serve our country again, I will always speak out and fight back when our democratic foundations are threatened.

I pray we find our way out of this darkness. I pray our voices and our votes will be heard from sea to shining sea on November 3rd as we stand united for liberty, justice, and equality for all.

Stephanie Schmid Little Silver Candidate, 4 th District

Today’s Crisis We are living in a tumultuous time. And, I’m n o t w r it i n g a b o u t t h e pandemic or CV-19, but rather about a time descend i ng i nto lawlessness supported by some through ignorance.

What happened to George Floyd was truly hor rendous and should never have occu r red.

But, was it racist; white against black? Perhaps, perhaps not. I th i n k it could be argued that some police officers, most of which are honorable people, suffer from an air of super ior it y where they think they are better than ever yone else. It could have been that. After all,

David Richter Is A Joke

police officers that were involved in the murder of Mr. Floyd. There was one white, one Hispanic, one Asian and one other black officer involved.

What we may be witnessing is likely not about race at all; but, a highly organized attempt by fascists to disrupt our government and take over our way of life using black and some white people as their puppets. When you view videos of bricks being piled up in strategic areas of violence to be u se d by loot e r s, whe n you see videos of paying other people cash to commit acts of violence, that should be telling anyone with a brain that something else is going on.

T he dist u rbi ng thi ng here is where were our i nt el l ige nc e a ge ncie s?

Shouldn’t they have been aware of an impending c r i si s b efo r e h a n d a n d have prepared for it? Our i ntelligence agencies have work to do to repair t hei r d a m age d re put ations. This was an opportunity lost.

I hesitate using the word “leaders” when referring to elected off icials, but r at her prefer t he word “representatives” as some are certainly not leaders.

When you see the mayor of NYC releasing criminals ar rested for their violent behavior without bail during these turbulent times, does that not smack of stupidity? Does anyone think that these criminals are not going to repeat their abhorrent actions of destruction?

T he re is a n ele ct ion coming up and your vote mat ters. Please choose c a r e f u l l y a n d w i s e l y.

Our founders were truly g e n i u s e s fo r m i n g o u r Constitution and Bill of Rights. But, it’s up to us to decide if we are to live by a system of laws or descend into chaos.

Hysterical, I’m laughing but it’s not really funny.

Have you seen congressional candidate David Richter’s newest commercial?

Is David Richter actually bragging about being an outsider??? And then he proves it by showing himself all over Congressional District 2 in his commercial. Well guess what? David is running in Congressional District 3 not Congressional District 2! David may have grown up in South Jersey decades ago, but does he truly represent us?!

David is a carpetbagger whose primary address is in Princeton where he lives and pays taxes. He’s tried to run in two other districts before he decided that the 3rd district would be his fall back. Now he thinks he can use his money to get elected in the 3rd congressional district.

To those of us who live in CD3, I hope we are smarter than that. Let’s not choose a rich carpetbagger who only cares about the pin he gets as a congressman.

Our congressional district has unique issues.

They need to be addressed by someone who knows and understands them and has a proven track record of success with our local businesses. In this July 7th Primary, let’s be sure to vote for Kate Gibbs. Let’s elect someone who isn’t running as an outsider to our district but is someone who has worked successfully to bring CD3 what it needs.

David Richter brags about being an outsider, while K at e G ibbs ha s l ive d , worked and has cut taxes in our congressional district.

CD3 let’s choose the proven leader with a proven track record and not the guy who jumped into CD3 when he realized he couldn’t win CD2.

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

Framework Announced For Comprehensive Police Reform Legislation Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHI NGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) announced the following framework for comprehensive legislation to stem the tide of racial-

ized police violence in the wake of the horrific murder of George Floyd by law enforcement.

“Persistent, unchecked bias in policing and a his-

tory of lack of accountability is wreaking havoc on the black community.”

Booker said. “Cities are literally on fire with the pain and anguish wrought by the violence visited upon black and brown bodies.

There’s no one singular policy change that will fi x this issue tomorrow - we need an entire set of holistic reforms to improve police training and practices, and ensure greater accountabil-

ity and transparency.”

The following is Booker’s framework: • Holding police accountable in federal court for misconduct by: reforming 18 U.S.C. Section 242, the federal statute governing police misconduct, by modifying the intent standard necessary to prove a case, and reforming the qualified immunity doctrine so that individuals are not entirely bar red from recovering

damages when police violate their constitutional rights.

• Improving transparency into policing by collecting more accurate data of police misconduct and use of force incidents by: creating a national police misconduct regist r y to ensure problematic officers can’t avoid accountability by changing departments, and requiring state and local law enforcement agencies

Senators Question WHO, But State Without WHO Coronavirus Would Be Worse Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

WASHI NGTON, D.C. - Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Rel a t io n s C o m m it t e e , was joined by a group of Senate Foreign Relations Com m it t e e De mo c r at s in sending a letter to Dr. Ted ros Ad ha nom Ghe breyesus, Director-General World Health Organization (WHO), to advance a productive relationship between the U.S. and the WHO as well as inquire about the organization’s ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Joining Menendez in sending the letter were Se n at or s Jef f Me rk ley ( D - O r e .) , E d M a r k e y (D-Mass.), Tim Kaine (DVa.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Ch r is Coon s ( D -Del.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.).

Citing their ongoing effor ts to craf t an effect ive U. S . r e s p o n s e t o COVID-19 and to chart a path forward for construc-

tive U.S. engagement with the WHO despite Trump’s shortsighted attacks, the senators listed a series of specific questions about the WHO’s initial response and ongoing work to combat the global health crisis presented by coronavirus.

A copy of the letter is below: Dear Dr. Tedros: We write to express our s up p or t for t he World Health Organization and its efforts to respond to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. As the primary international organization responding to global health challenges, the W HO’s work around the world has been invaluable in slowing the spread of COVID-19.

While there are valid criticisms and questions about the WHO’s response to the rapidly evolving pandemic - just as there are valid criticisms and questions about how many national governments have responded

- there is no question that without the WHO’s efforts, this crisis would be infi nitely worse. As the past few months have showed more than ever, the safety and security of Americans is directly linked with the health and well-being of people all over the world.

Throughout its long and enduring partnership with t he Un it e d St at e s, t he W HO has helped make great strides: eradicating smallpox, sig nif icantly decreasing polio cases, and successfully responding to SARS and MERS. The WHO effectively serves as a force multiplier for U.S. efforts. As a USAID implementing partner, the WHO often works in dangerous settings where few other organizations are willing to serve. In March 2019, for example, the WHO was the only international organization to stay in Katwa and Butembo after two Ebola treatment centers were fire-bombed in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In short, the organization is indispensable.

As the United States considers policy changes to mitigate the impact of future waves of COVID-19 in our own country, we

must utilize our role in the WHO to garner best practices of other countries and share information that will promote overall health and well-being of people across the world. There are serious concerns that the WHO did not pressure China for more transparency in the early days of the outbreak and did not appropr iately aler t t he world about the nature of the pandemic in a timely manner. We would like to translate these concerns into understanding how the WHO operates under its current guiding principles and binding governance mechanisms, including the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR), that have been agreed upon by its member states. Specifically, we would like to understand the detailed steps the WHO took to obtain, verify, and share information about COVID-19 from the Chinese government.

We strongly feel, however, that these concerns do not justify President Trump’s shortsighted declaration that he will terminate the United States’ relationship with the WHO in the midst of a pandemic.

We are deeply concerned

that this decision will negatively impact the WHO’s effor ts to lead a global response to COVID-19, in addition to other global health priorities and progress now jeopardized by the pandemic. To that end, we welcome your insight on how an absence of U.S. support for the WHO will impact its work around the globe. We ask that you provide complete responses to the following questions as we work to craft the U.S. response to COVID-19 and assess a path forward for constructive U.S. engagement with the WHO. When and how did the WHO fi rst learn that there were a cluster of pneumonia cases of an unknown cause in Wuhan? When and under what criteria did the WHO determine sufficient evidence existed of human-to-human transmission of the virus?

What steps did you take to encourage the Chinese government to abide by their obligations under the International Health Regulations (Ar ticles 6 and 7) to provide truthful information?

What resources do you have at your disposal to encourage governments to

to report use-of-force incidents to the Department of Justice.

• Improving police training and policies by: banning religious and racial profiling, providing funding for racial bias training for law enforcement, incentivizing states to adopt policies banning no-knock warrants, and incentivizing states to adopt policies banning the use of choke-hold and other airway restrictive holds in their use-of-force policies.

abide by their obligations under the Inter national Health Regulations to provide truthful and timely information?

Please explain your praise of the Chinese gover nment, including China’s “commitment to transparency” and the “extraordinary measures it has taken to contain the outbreak.”

Do you still agree with that assessment of China’s response?

Can you describe the divergent approaches of the Chinese government in response to this pandemic versus the SARS outbreak in 2002?

How many field visits to China has the WHO made from October 1, 2019 to the present? Did any U.S. officials or citizens accompany the WHO on these trips? If so, whom, and on which trips? How does the WHO conduct field visits to any country during similar serious disease outbreaks? Are U.S. representatives typically involved in these visits?

What was the nature, frequency and channel of the WHO’s communications with Taiwan in the early stages of the outbreak, as (Menendez - See Page 16)

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – While Gov. Phil Murphy announced the planned reopening phase of the state to reach step two on June 15, Ocean County officials are reminding residents and visitors that social distancing is still essential.

While restrictions are gradually being relaxed across New Jersey, Ocean County residents need to remember easing social distancing measures are not an option according to Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Little said, “we are certainly pleased to see our residents are slowly getting back to doing some of the things they enjoy.

Whether its spending time at our beaches and boardwalks, parks and golf courses or just enjoying the beautiful weather, people must remember this pandemic is far from over and maintaining social distancing measures are still mandated.

Lives are still at stake.”

Phase two of the governor’srestart and recovery plan will permit non-essential retail businesses and child daycares to reopen, youth sports leagues and summer camps to commence, schools and universities to hold graduations - all with modified business plans.

The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) advises that there is no mixed message regarding the easing of restrictions.

“The last thing the public health community wants to see is a trend backwards.

It’s so imperative people not perceive the loosened restrictions to mean they can just move on from the social distancing measures including outdoors in public spaces,” explained Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer.

Regenye added, “no one said that social distancing is optional. While there are more vulnerable populations than others, it’s still everyone’s responsibility to do their part in protecting their communities.”

The OCHD released a COVID-19 public health response summary last week confirming that older adults are still our most vulnerable residents. As of June 1, slightly over 30% of the 8,770 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the county were individuals over 65 years of age and accounted for 79.72% of all deaths.

Ocean County has one of the highest senior populations in the Garden State with nearly 300,000 older adults.

Regenye went on to explain that the COVID-19 virus does not discriminate.

The OCHD report also identified that individuals aged 19 to 64 made up slightly

more than 62% of all COVID-19 cases and approximately 15% of deaths in the county.

“We just want people to play it smart as we move forward. We are still in uncharted waters and while we are learning so much more everyday about this virus we still need our residents’ cooperation as restrictions are eased and more people start to congregate whether it’s outdoor or indoor spaces,” Regenye said.

The OCHD advises it’s important to continue to follow these public health recommendations; • Wear a cloth face covering if out in public.

• Practice social distancing (keep at least 6 feet away from you & others).

• Follow good respiratory hygiene recommendations.

• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve, not your hands.

• Wash hands often with soap and water.

Use an alcohol-based sanitizer if soap and water are not available.

• Stay home if you are sick and avoid sick people.

• Review CDC travel advisories if planning travel.

• No mass gatherings.

“There will be many more restrictions being revised and new phases implemented as we move forward during the pandemic, but the message is clear – follow the rules for everyone’s sake and we can all hope to have a happy and healthy summer,” Little said.

Little added, “don’t let some of the images you currently see on TV and social media allow you to think that large gatherings of people not adhering to social distancing measures is the right thing to do. We understand that people are anxious to return to some normalcy but let’s just do it the right way.”

Police: Busloads Of Looters Just A Rumor

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – There was never going to be an attack by looters or domestic terrorists in Toms River, and it was all a rumor spread on social media, police said.

There were plenty of rumors before the event, and even days later. People shared statements that Antifa was going to go door to door looting houses. Another rumor stated that a terrorist group chartered two buses to go to the event.

“There is absolutely no evidence to support either,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said. “I put out a statement Monday night (the night of the protest) to try to quell the social media rumors that were circulating. The rumors continued throughout the day…despite our best efforts to accurately inform the public. Both are completely untrue and are the result of people sharing misinformation on social media.”

DISPLACED FROM YOUR JOB?

The rumors had been started first on Twitter by an account claiming to be affiliated with Black Lives Matter. It was later revealed to be a neo-nazi group posing as BLM. In the news over the last week, reports have come in about racists making peaceful protests worse by lying on social media, mixing in with protesters to attack police, or leaving bricks near protest sites with the expectation that protesters will use them.

The Toms River protest itself was peaceful and brought together about 300 residents, clergy police, and elected officials. They prayed and walked together in unity to protest the murder of George Floyd and systemic racism.

It had been started by Toms River resident Katrina Garcia.

“I can’t be more proud and honored” with regards to her fellow protesters.

“They really kept with the goal, which was peace.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Officials Warn Of COVID Testing Scams

By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY – People are still very concerned about COVID-19 and want to get tested, but state officials warn that there are companies out there offering false or misleading claims regarding testing.

“As public access to COVID-19 and COVID-19 antibody testing increases, so do opportunities for unscrupulous individuals to make money by exploiting people’s confusion and fears,” said Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. “We’re urging consumers to do their homework, understand the types of tests being marketed, and recognize what those tests can and cannot do, so they don’t fall victim to false promises and outright scams.”

Some of these companies are otherwise legitimate small businesses who are incorrectly stating information about the tests. Some are outright scammers, the state said.

Some people are trying to sell tests that haven’t been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because they may not provide accurate results. Some people are going door-to-door performing fake tests for money, and some are offering free test kits in exchange for people’s personal and health insurance information.

There are also reports that scammers posing as contact tracers are texting New Jersey residents with messages saying they came in contact with someone who had COVID-19. The text messages ask people to follow links and then try to get them to reveal their personal information.

Two recent businesses were sent ceaseand-desist letters because of claims made claims in the sale of antibody, or “serological,” tests for COVID-19. One was a health club in Morris County and the other is a dentist in Passaic County.

Antibody testing differs from diagnostic testing in that antibody testing is intended to determine if you possess antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, which indicates past exposure to the virus. Diagnostic testing is intended to determine if you currently have the disease.

One claim was that the serological test can determine “if someone has already contracted the virus and, thus, has developed the antibodies to prevent contracting it again.” The statement appears misleading, according to the attorney general’s office, because a person may have contracted the virus but not yet developed antibodies that would result in a positive antibody test, and because it has not been established whether the presence of COVID-19 antibodies conveys immunity, and, if so, for how long.

In another claim, the presence of a particular antibody would mean a patient is “now clear, they have the antibody, they’re safe.”

The statement appears misleading because it has not been established whether the presence of COVID-19 antibodies conveys immunity, and, if so, for how long, or whether someone with antibodies would not be able to spread the virus, Grewal said.

“Misinformation of this nature has the potential to provide false security to individuals and contribute, in the aggregate, to widespread public harm, and also violates New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act,” the Division stated in the letters.

“Unfortunately, where there’s money to be made, scammers, con artists, and identify thieves are never far behind,” said Paul R. Rodríguez, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs.

“Consumers should be wary of anyone advertising tests for sales via email, on social media, or over the phone. With testing now widely available in New Jersey pharmacies and healthcare practitioners’ offices, fi nding a trustworthy testing site is easier than ever. And consumers should understand that legitimate contact tracers will never ask for social security numbers, bank account or credit card information, or insurance numbers over the phone.

They don’t need that information.”

Tips to Avoid COVID-19 Testing-Related Scams: Want a test? Talk to your doctor or pharmacist. If you want an antibody test, reach out to your healthcare provider or local pharmacy. They can help you figure out if the test will be covered by insurance and where to fi nd a legitimate clinic, and can ensure that you understand what the results mean.

Do research before buying. Scammers put pressure on people to buy or commit without giving them time to do further research. Before you agree to anything, do some investigating. Check the FDA website to verify claims that a test has have been approved by the FDA or has received an emergency use authorization issued by the FDA. Understand your options. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has a detailed guide to testing for COVID-19. Understand the different tests available and what you need.

Never share your personal information with strangers. Only make purchases and share your personal information with people and companies you know and trust.

Know what a legitimate contact tracing interview entails. To learn more about the contact tracing process, go to the NJ Department of Health’s Contact Tracing for COVID-19 webpage.

Autism:

Continued From Page 1 and head of the Autism Treatment Network (ATN) at Autism Speaks. She also serves as an adjunct associate professor of Clinical Pediatrics in the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital within the University of Cincinnati’s Department of Pediatrics.

She added, “people on the spectrum who live in group homes or full-time care facilities may be separated from their families, and adults living independently are coping with changes to their work environments and typical support systems. To help ease those feelings of isolation, it’s important to come together as a community and continue the kindness wherever we are.”

Murray said the pandemic is affecting families with autistic children in many ways.

“The combination of school closures, job cuts/ uncertainty and changes to available behavioral supports and resources, along with the many other disruptions in daily routine, can make these times especially trying for individuals and families in the autism community.”

She added, “parents are adapting to managing their child learning from home as well as juggling their own job responsibilities. Coping with disrupted routines and increased anxiety can result in an increase in challenging behavior for some children creating additional challenges for parents.”

It is particularly difficult for families with an autistic child to have their normal routines disrupted. “A lot of autistic people find comfort in the familiar, which adds order to each day.

The difficulty of understanding why a routine is disrupted and how long it’s going to last creates a lot of unknowns.”

“Changes to daily routines can lead to increased anxiety and problem behaviors. Parents should start by creating a new routine for home. A printed schedule with words or images can be a concrete way to keep expectations consistent from day to day for their child,” Murray said.

The Brick Times, June 13, 2020, Page 11 She noted that Autism Speaks has a printable template on their COVID-19 resources page.

The routine should build in extra time for physical activity to encourage both physical and mental well-being.

As to what parents can do during this time to help their children and ensure they meet certain developmental milestones, Murray said, “long term absence of school or work can mean a loss of previously acquired skills, particularly academic skills.”

“In home support from family members or telelearning options may help maintain some of those skills. However, this may be a good time to focus on daily living skills. Participating in household chores such as cooking, dish washing, or self-care, may be a good way to focus on these skills.”

Murray said, “parents can demonstrate and teach more independent living skills and offer abundant praise and reinforcement for successes. We know parents are shouldering a lot of the work of teachers and specialists at home, so lean on your providers as much as you can.”

She recommended that parents reach out to their child’s teachers and service providers for a long term plan.

In an effort to keep the spirit of the Autism Month alive, on Saturday, April 25, Autism Speaks hosted Steps for Kindness – a nationwide event challenging the community to walk 5,400 steps in support of the one in 54 kids with autism and to celebrate World Autism Month together as a community.

Participants were encouraged to walk where they were – inside homes, backyards or safely in neighborhoods. “Steps for Kindness was a celebration of our community’s commitment to a kinder, more inclusive world, and an opportunity for us all to be together even during these challenging times. Because now more than ever, the autism community needs support, kindness and closeness.”

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 732818-3610. 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!

Nutrients You Need Before Pregnancy

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Did you know a lady came to America from Spain, lied about her age to receive in vitro fertilization and had twins at the age of 66! Also, it’s true that a woman’s uterus expands to the size of a watermelon by the third trimester!

According to the World Fact Book, the United States lags behind many other countries in terms of maternal death rate.

Countries that do better than the U.S. include the United Kingdom, S. Korea, Japan, New Zealand, France, Portugal, Canada, Germany, Israel, Iceland and many others. No one is clear on why the U.S. has higher mortality for new moms giving birth, but it’s something that prompted me to do more research. I don’t have a specific answer to that statistic, however, I can certainly offer general vitamin tips to get your body ready for pregnancy, especially if you’ve been taking oral contraceptive medications.

Vitamin B9. Should you take Folic Acid or Folate? The answer is folate. Folic acid is a man-made B vitamin that is always given to women by doctors. It’s suggested to reduce the risk of spinal cord issues such as spina bifida or other neural tube defects. So the recommendation is to take “folic acid� but I’m suggesting “folate.� It’s a more biologically active form of the same nutrient called vitamin B9. But “folic acid� is not the same as methylfolate. Folic acid does not have the “methyl� group that methylfolate has.

They’ll tell you it converts in your body, but by the time the folic acid metabol-

ically converts to methylfolate, there’s pretty much nothing left! So look for a prenatal that contains “methylfolate� or “folate� in its ingredient list. Those forms are the superior, methyl-promoting forms of “folic acid� and high-quality prenatal vitamins today contain those.

DHA. There are many, well-designed studies proving the benefits of DHA for proper fetal development. The healthy compounds from this special fish oil transfer from mother to baby via placenta, during breast-feeding and can also be given supplementally to a toddler.

DHA is also needed for proper mental and motor skill development. It can help with allergies and even attention span.

Babies born with adequate amounts of DHA have improved levels of cognition.

If you have been on “The Pill� for more than a year, then you may want to consider a few other important nutrients.

Certain B vitamins as well as C appear to diminish as well, as does your levels of magnesium, selenium, and zinc. Your blood levels might be elevated, but your cells could be starving. There are tests to determine that of course. Vitamin D and probiotic status are impacted from use of The Pill.

Getting your body ready for the strenuous pregnancy ahead requires a lot. Consider trace minerals, a prenatal vitamin that contains “folate� not folic acid and superfoods.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Be Yourself Not Who They Want You To Be

Dear Joel, I am a mature woman (55+) who has recently returned to college to finish the bachelor’s degree I started many years ago. I am currently matriculated at a local community college to save money and will complete my degree at a four-year school upon graduation. I have completed several courses and am enjoying the learning experience. I don’t have much difficulty with the work, but I am having difficulty relating to my fellow students who average 30 years younger than me. Many of the class assignments are completed in groups, and as the oldest student in the group, I feel completely irrelevant. In order to compensate, I’ve assumed the role of ‘group mother’. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can ‘fit in’ with my fellow classmates without mothering them?

Answer: Congratulations to you for having the courage to challenge yourself and finish what you started. It’s not easy for anyone to go back to school, especially after a long

hiatus. One of the wonderful things about community college is the diversity of the student body and the opportunity to meet and work with people you otherwise would not have. In answer to your question, don’t try to ‘fit in’ but rather be yourself, bringing all your life experiences to the table. You have such an advantage over your fellow students in that you’ve learned what’s important in life and how to navigate its trials and tribulations.

You have a wealth of knowledge about many subjects just waiting to be shared. Mentor rather than mother, taking advantage of this opportunity to empower your younger classmates with life lessons both in and out of the classroom. Thank you for writing.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Restrictions Lessened For Bars, Restaurants With Alcohol

By Bob Vosseller TRENTON – Restaurants, bars, and other establishments licensed to serve alcoholic beverages have been given the nod to prepare to reopen for outdoor sit-down service with social distancing practices in place.

Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal and the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) announced provisions allowing them to expand their licensed premises to include increased outdoor ser vice space per mitted under Gov. Phil Murphy’s Executive Order.

The ABC issued a special ruling that allows licensees to apply for one-time, t e mp or a r y p e r m it s t o ext e nd t hei r “licensed premises” – that is the area in which they are permitted to serve alcohol – to i nclude deck s, pat ios, parking lots, sidewalks and other open outdoor areas adjacent or close by their premises, to correspond with increased seating capacity once they reopen. The permits will expire on Nov. 30.

The action comes after the governor issued Executive Order No. 150, which per mits restau rants, bars and other food or beverage est ablish ments to reopen for outdoor sit-down ser vice effective 6 a.m. June 15.

A previous Executive Order allowed those establishments to remain open during the COVID-19 state of emergency, but only for pickup or delivery services. On-premises service of food and alcohol has been prohibited to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.

As it was expected that municipalities across the state would seek to allow restaurants and bars to expand their service footprint, both on their property and onto shared property, to accommodate outdoor ser vice, ABC is g rant i ng tempora r y per m its that will allow licensees to expand liquor service into these areas.

“As New Jersey’s bars and restaurants reopen sit-down service to patrons, we are doing everything we can to help meet their needs to serve patrons while also complying with the social distancing requirements in place to prevent a resurgence of COVID-19,” Grewal said.

He added, “our f irst priority is to protect the health and safety of all New

Jerseyans as our state embarks on the road to economic recovery.”

James Graziano, Acting Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control said, “we are committed to enabling New Jersey’s retail consumption segment of the alcoholic beverage industr y to resume sit-down ser vice with safeg uards in place to protect public health” Graziano said, “the Special Ruling we’r e a n nou n ci ng t o d ay w i l l help offset the economic impact to licensees caused by a reduced capacity of pat rons allowed on-premises at any given time.”

The executive order will allow food or beverage establishments to open for service in outdoor areas provided that tables seating individual groups are six feet apart, and includes a number of safet y and sanitization protocols that the Department of Health will be issuing.

It also per m its est ablish ments to ex pa nd se r v ice i nt o out do or a re a s t o i n c r e a s e s e a t i n g c a p a c it y. T h e “COVID-19 Expansion Permit” allows licensees to extend their premises onto areas adjacent to or contiguous with the licensed premises, where they may provide for the sale and ser vice of alcoholic beverages as on the primary licensed premises.

The ABC Director may also permit a licensee to expand its premises onto non-contiguous property, provided the property is in reasonable proximity to the licensed premise and the licensee has safeguards in place to ensure that alcoholic beverages will be sold and served in a manner that protects public health, safety and welfare.

The provision to expand services into outdoor areas calls for licensees to demonstrate that they either own the property or have permission from the owner to use it for serving alcohol.

They must offer the same services in the expanded area – i.e. food service – as they do on-premises. Examples of permissible expansion areas include decks, patios, sidewalks and parking lots next to licensed premises, as well as parks and other public rights-of-way, as long as they are accessible from the licensed premises.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Ocean County Freeholders Call For Completion Of New Veterans Clinic

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Members of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders again voiced their opposition to toll hikes on the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike noting the increases do nothing but harm Ocean County commuters already adversely affected by business closures during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Board passed a resolution on June 3, that strongly urged Gov. Phil Murphy to veto the minutes of the Turnpike Authority that approve the toll increase.

Freeholders also repeated the request that an Ocean County representative take the seat currently available at the table of the Turnpike Authority.

“I don’t bel ieve Oce a n Cou nt y’s concerns will be heard until we again have representation on the authority that oversees our toll roads,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said.

“We are a county of 600,000 residents and a very large percentage of our population are commuters. We need to have a voice on an authority that is willing to take our money and provides little in return,” Vicari said.

Vicari added that toll hikes bring little benefit to the citizens of Ocean County as much of the money collected helps subsidize transpor tation in nor ther n New Jersey including rail.

He added, “New Jersey has not given Ocean County’s motorists any traveling options. This Board has long supported a rail line as a transportation alternative in Ocean County. Yet after years of studies, this has not moved forward by the state.”

Vicari, who also serves as liaison to tourism, said the increase in tolls also

will negatively affect the state’s multibillion-dollar tourism industry, which is a leading economic engine in Ocean County, providing more than $4.8 billion annually.

The Freeholder Director said that it was also important to highlight that the Parkway is used for more than just leisurely travel in Ocean County.

“It’s a designated evacuation route during times of emergencies and Ocean County, as a tourism destination sees its year-round population nearly double, which could result in a million or more people having to use these roads to leave the area during a natural disaster,” Vicari said.

Despite the county’s continuing efforts to encourage the state to bring long-needed improvements to Route 9, the other north-south artery in Ocean County – the road has not changed since it was first constructed in the 1920s, with very few areas upgraded, remaining one lane in each travel direction throughout the course of the County, Vicari noted.

“Ocean County has been continually informed by state transportation officials that dualization of Route 9 will probably never occur,” Vicari said. “So where does that leave us?”

Vicari strongly recommended the state Legislature consider a New Jersey income tax deduction for commuters who pay at least $500 in toll costs per year as verified by EZ Pass.

“Instead of asking for more maybe there is something the State can do to help our commuters. Clearly most people using the parkway and turnpike are doing so to get to and from work. It’s their livelihood and we shouldn’t charge them more for that,” Vicari said.

Beware Of Contact Tracing Scams

By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY- The Federal Trade Commission is warning residents to be wary of scammers pretending to be contact tracers.

Ocean County has recently announced that they will begin contact tracing. This is a necessary step in learning how COVID-19 is being spread. Contact tracers talk to people who have been diagnosed positive and then learn who they have been in contact with. Those people are then urged to quarantine until the window of time where they would develop symptoms has passed.

However, there are people out there pretending to be a contact tracer who are trying to get access to your personal information and steal money from you, the government warned.

The easiest way to tell the difference between a scammer and a legitimate worker is that a real contact tracer will never ask for your personal information. If someone asks for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card number, they are trying to rip you off, the government said.

Brick Marine Saves Life Using CPR

By Chris Lundy MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – A Brick native received an award recently for saving the life of a civilian who was having a medical emergency, officials said.

U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Matthew T. Ubl, a light armored vehicle repair technician with Alpha Company (Co.), 2d Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion (2d LAR), 2d Marine Division (MARDIV), received a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (NAVCOMM) for lifesaving actions on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, June 4, 2020.

The incident took place at a gas station in Richlands, N.C. on Dec. 16. Ubl saw a man lying unresponsive on the ground and sprung to action.

“My first thought was to make sure no one else was hurt and then I stepped in and started doing CPR and chest compressions to try to get a pulse back,” Ubl said. “I just wanted to keep him breathing until the ambulance got there.”

Ubl performed CPR for 15 minutes, officials said, which helped safe the man’s life. When first responders arrived, he helped by using their

defibrillator.

“I was tired and my shoulders were giving out, but the adrenaline just kicked in and I gave my best and helped out however I could,” said Ubl. “I was just being a good person. This is what we train for, this is what we do, and helping another person is the best thing we can do.”

Aside from the basic Tactical Combat Casualty Care skills taught in Marine Corps basic training, Ubl had no prior experience with first aid.

The award he received, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, is given for acts of heroism or meritorious service.

“Cpl. Ubl is the kind of Marine that never asks for any sort of recognition or praise,” said Capt.

Robert Mortenson, the company commander of Alpha Co., 2d LAR. “He’s not out to gain accolades but is one of the hardest working Marines in the company. So, it was no surprise me that he was the one who saved that man’s life.”

“Everyone says I’m a hero, but I feel like anyone else would have done the same thing,” said Ubl. “Just because I did it doesn’t make me special. I was just the right person at the right time.”

New Jersey Expands COVID-19 Call Center Options

NEW JERSEY – Governor Phil Murphy, the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management, the New Jersey Department of Health, and the United Ways of New Jersey announced that NJ 211 has been activated to help handle COVID-19 related calls from New Jersey residents.

All residents with questions or concerns about COVID-19 and resources available to them can

call 2-1-1. NJ 211 is New Jersey’s statewide, comprehensive, information and referral service operated by United Ways of New Jersey.

Residents can also text NJCOVID to 898-211 to receive text information and stay informed.

To receive live text assistance, residents can text their zip code to 898-211.

These enhancements to 211 will supplement, rather than replace, the existing COVID-19

hotline, operated by the New Jersey Poison Control Center. State residents with questions about COVID-19 illness can continue to call the previously shared numbers for the COVID-19 hotline, but they can also call 211 to get answers about their COVID-19 questions.

Additionally, the Department of Health has a COVID-19 website with resources including CDC updates, guidance for schools, colleges,

businesses, long-term care facilities, health care professionals and public health professionals.

The website is available at nj.gov/health/ coronavirus.

Local health departments, health care providers, and medical facility staff should continue to contact the Communicable Disease Service at the New Jersey Department of Health with COVID-19 questions.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE New Hours For OCC Coronavirus Drive Thru Test Center

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Testing hours will be reduced starting on the first 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) hackensackmeridianhealth. org/covid19/ RWJ Barnabas 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.

The most common symptoms 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.

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?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Marc S. Galella Esq.

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.

BUSINESS PROFILE DeGRAFF FUNERAL HOME Compassionate • Respectful • Flexible

DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home, Inc. 119 Union Avenue, Lakehurst, N.J. 08733 732-657-7868 Sherry T. DeGraff, Mgr. N.J. No. 3921 degrafffuneralhome@msn.com

DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home is family owned and operated. Founded

by Donald & Wanda DeGraff in 1979 in historic downtown Lakehurst. The building itself has a funeral history dating back to the early 1900’s. “Our father was the type of person who was so very compassionate and caring,” said Sherry DeGraff, Manager. “He was an entrepreneur, involved in a number of businesses, but his love was always for the funeral industry.”

DeGraff’s mother Wanda is still alive and “still our boss, even if she won’t admit it,” said DeGraff, and her father, Donald passed away in 2004.

Growing up with the funeral business surrounding her, DeGraff said she learned from an early age how to treat customers in their time of need. “You handle people in the same way you would want your own family handled, “said DeGraff. “You have to be a good listener, have a lot of compassion and be very flexible.

While the core values – compassion, respect and flexibility – have not changed for the DeGraff family, the trends in the funeral business have.

Years back, cremations were rare and some religious affiliations did not hold them in high favor. In 1990 the DeGraff family saw the future trends were leaning toward cremation, as a result, their daughter Sherry opened DeGraff Cremation Service offering a wide variety of cremation service options. The move towards more cremation represents the largest shift in the funeral industry. In fact, many consumers believe the cremation

itself is performed at the individual funeral home or cremation service they hired. This is not correct.

Crematories are owned by cemeteries. Most people are surprised when they hear that. Many people are unaware that cremation must be authorized by a spouse or blood kin under New Jersey State Law. This can cause undue stress for people who do not have a spouse or family.

In 2004, New Jersey law provides for the des- DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home has been family-owned and operated at 119 Union Avenue, ignation of an individual Lakehurst since 1979.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 13 - june 19

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Barter and business might interfere with your rest and relaxation. In the week to come, it may be wise to try to live up to someone’s ideal and prove your commitment to their happiness by being supportive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When life is in a state of flux, perhaps the best thing to do is to stop and take stock. You may hope to make a profit through smart moves, but consider waiting to make investments or purchases until later in the week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Venus has stalled on its journey through your sign, which may focus your interest on things of beauty that permeate your everyday life. Socializing can be a good thing, but it could interfere with your work in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The more friendliness you display, the more friends you should attract. As the week unfolds you may be in contact with people who are interested in what you have to say. Put creative projects aside for a few days.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): All for one and one for all might be your motto as this week commences. You might become interested in a humanitarian outreach program or serving your community in some small way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): High expectations may let you down. Something’s value is based on what an interested buyer will pay, not the price you set. In the upcoming week, be forgiving and supportive if a loved one is vague

about details or is feeling uninspired.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be good without being gullible. It’s usually easy to forgive someone who is sincere. You may have a distinct lack of interest in your job or become confused by instructions. By the end of the week your enthusiasm will probably be restored.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your faith and support will impart optimism to loved ones.

Your words can be powerful tools that cut a path through someone’s vague misgivings. Hold off on major purchases until the end of the week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dissatisfaction can raise its head if you are stuck at home or faced with tedious tasks. Although it may be difficult to muster the energy to change routines, you can still enjoy spending time with loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Set a good example but don’t set off in a new direction.

Continue to concentrate on whatever you have in progress but wait until the end of the week to launch new projects that require clear thinking.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your ability to make sound financial choices may be somewhat impaired during the upcoming week.

It’s a better idea to concentrate on contributing something worthwhile to a group or making friends with your co-workers.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Just being artsy and craftsy may not work out well right now.

Your creative ideas should be more manageable by the end of the week. Keep your chin up and don’t let a lack of enthusiasm bring you down.
