Towns Seek Funds To Raise Flooding Streets

In This Week’s Edition

Fireworks Postponed To Labor Day Weekend

By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – The fireworks over the Toms River, organized by Beachwood, has been postponed until September 5, on Labor Day weekend, Mayor Ron Roma said.

“The fireworks may well have an attendance of upwards of 15,000 people,” Roma said. “This would make it impossible to practice the Governor’s order of limited outdoor group gatherings and social distancing.”

It was not an easy decision to make, but after much discussion, the governing body and the Beachwood Fireworks Committee decided to move the event to the Saturday

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The f looding is so bad on some parts of the barrier island that school bu ses a nd del iver y vehicles won’t drive down the streets.

The neighborhood is in the Nor mandy Beach section, which straddles Brick and To m s R i ve r t ow n ships. The two towns

h ave t e a me d up t o address the f looding issues. The governing bodies of each town joined in a shared services ag reement to tackle this, specif ically on Broad Street and portions of 5th, 6th and 7th Avenue.

But the two towns aren’t doing it alone.

They will seek state funding to elevate the

streets.

The way the shared service agreement is written is that Toms River off icials will prepare and submit the application to the New Jersey Department of Transportation for 2021 f unding for street elevation projects. Brick Township will look for additional fund-

ing opportunities and apply to any that are identified. Toms River will be responsible for seeking bids and awarding the contract for the project.

Freeholders, Veterans Call For New Veterans Clinic To Move Forward

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – The county needs a new veteran’s clinic for its over 40,000 veterans and county officials are tired of the federal government’s “needless delays” in building one.

That was the view expressed through a

June 13, 2020

unanimously approved resolution by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders asking the Department of Veterans Affairs to fast track a new facility to replace the aging James J. Howard clinic in Brick Township.

Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H.

Vicari said, “our veterans fought for us when we needed them and now, we are ready to fight for them. The facility and the location are simply too small.”

While plans for the clinic seemed to be progressing, issues with the federal bidding process led the

VA to cancel a contract to build the clinic.

“We cannot let bureaucratic problems derail this important project,” Vicari said adding that he had been contacted by a disabled Vietnam War veteran recently asking the Freeholders to intervene personally with

the VA. Vicari added, “we are working closely with Congressman Chris Smith, who is the senior member of the New Jersey Congressional delegation, and Rep. Andy Kim to fast track this project.”

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.

Everyone has been educated on how to slow the spread of COVID-19, and business owners should be allowed to 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 the text was written by himself, Stafford Mayor Gregory Myhre and Point Pleasant Business Administrator Frank Pannucci.

Flooding:

Continued From Page 1 project is a great example of two communities coming together to solve a common problem,” said Toms River Township Maurice Mayor “Mo” Hill.

“While this project will not stop all f looding, such as larger more intense storms like Superstorm Sandy, it will help minimize the frequency and depth of f looding during lesser intense storms and certain high tide events.”

One of Toms River’s engineering firms they have contracts with will design the project and estimate its cost. Brick will review the plans. Then, the costs of the services will be divided proportionately based on how much area each town has in the project scope.

“It has gotten to the point that prolonged f looding occurs every month during the full moon and new moon and the residents are understandably upset,” said Brick Township Mayor John G. Ducey.

“Regardless of the factors causing this f looding, we have an obligation to do

what we can to address and mitigate the problem and help protect the quality of life for our residents.”

Brick Normandy Beach homeowners had petitioned their governing body for months leading up to this. They had said that streets that previously f looded a couple of times a year now f lood about twice a month.

Normandy is just 1.5 feet above the water line.

In January, Brick hired ACT Engineering, who was tasked with coming up with a strategy that would put Brick in the queue for Federal Emergency Management Agency funding. ACT Engineering was identified as a firm with a successful track record in projects that have resulted in Federal Emergency Management Agency funding. Their recommendation was to elevate the roads.

The shared services agreement will go into effect on June 1, 2020 and is contingent upon being awarded NJDOT funds. The agreement will expire upon final acceptance of the project by the NJDOT.

Fireworks:

Continued From Page 1 of Labor Day weekend.

“Please remember to celebrate our country’s independence on July 4 by f lying your American f lags proudly,” Roma added. “And if you are inclined to use fireworks please use the utmost caution. Practicing fireworks safety is a must.”

In 2018, there weren’t any fireworks at all, again due to forces beyond their control.

The fireworks vendor, Fireworks Extravaganza, was not able to ship the fireworks. They did not have staff available with licenses to transport explosives.

They later said they had a problem with a driver, and did not have a good Plan B. They were scheduled to put on shows at several other venues on the same day.

They were not able to get to Beachwood and Milltown.

To make up for the failure they put on 2019’s fireworks free of charge.

How To Help Although local officials are heavily involved in the planning of the fireworks, it’s not paid for by tax dollars.

Rather, it relies on donations. In fact, if every family just gave a few dollars, it would pay for itself.

Checks can be made out to Beachwood Fireworks, and mailed to the municipal building at 1600 Pinewald Road, Beachwood, NJ 08722.

Mayors:

Continued From Page 1 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.

Clinic:

Continued From Page 1 The Freeholder Director also said he knows from personal experience how important the VA clinic is to local residents. “My father was a World War II veteran who fought in the Battle of the Bulge. We made frequent trips to the clinic. Having a facility located in Ocean County is critical to our veterans and our senior citizens.”

Freeholder Gerry P. Little said the county is home to one of the largest veterans’ populations in the state, with more than 40,000 veterans living throughout the county’s 33 municipalities.

“Ocean County never forgets our veterans. We will work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Congressional representatives to ensure that this new clinic is built in Ocean County,” Little said.

Little, who is liaison to the Ocean County Veteran’s Service Bureau, said the VA needs to explain the reasons behind the latest delay.

“We have been patient, but now it is time to move ahead and get this project done.”

The Freeholder’s father is also a World War II veteran who served in the Pacific Theater.

“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 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.

Both Freeholders sent a letter on May 26 to Smith and Kim pledging them any assistance the county could offer.

Vicari said that while this may be a federal project, “we want our veterans to know that this Board of Freeholders is doing everything it can to see this plan to fruition.”

John P. Dorrity has served as the director of the Ocean County Veterans Services Bureau for some time and his reputation for being an outspoken advocate for veterans’ benefits and services is well known around the state.

Dorrity recalled the efforts in the 1980s to secure the current facility. “It was the first of its type in the country and when it was first discussed it was planned as a mini-hospital. We were very proud of it when it opened in 91-92.

I remember the protests we had back then to help get it going. At that time Bergen County had the largest number of veterans in the state.”

That has changed and Ocean County has the most now. Dorrity put the number of veterans at around 41,000. “We get veterans from Monmouth County as well that come here. We need a new clinic now,” Dorrity added.

Dorrity doesn’t blame the federal Veterans

Association over the delay. “The specificity on the federal level for construction is insane and this pandemic didn’t help.”

He said he’d like to see the new facility based more centrally in Ocean County and believes Route 9 in Bayville would be ideal.

“The Freeholders have the right mindset but the veterans need this in a jurisdiction that is centrally located and has plenty of parking.”

Dorrity said adding that he’s spoken with officials who said they’d prefer a new facility be based in either Brick where it is now or moved to Toms River.

He said he’s hoping that contract issues impacting the project are rectified soon. “These are good contracts but the mechanics of some of these contracts make it crazy.”

Among the many veterans who utilize the current clinic is Micheal Colicchio, 72, a U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam. He is a resident of Holiday City in Toms River.

“I’m originally from Jersey City Bayonne and we had a clinic in Jersey City and a Vet center in Seacaucus which was pretty convenient. I’ve been going to the one in Brick since I moved down here in 2008 I go every

six months for a checkup or a medications refill. My appointments are pretty fluid,” Colicchio said.

“Sometimes there is a wait with things like getting the earwax blown out of your ears but that’s not crucial. I don’t know if moving the clinic will correct that because you still need doctors,” he added.

“I can’t complain about treatment and I still see my civilian doctors who I can get to see in a couple of hours. If there is room for improvement of its physically, yes. Parking you have to park close to Highway 70 sometimes,” Colicchio added agreeing with Dorrity’s idea of a Bayville location on Route 9 in a currently vacant strip mall lot.

Colicchio said “if I get there at 8 in the morning, I don’t have much of a problem if I get there at 10 in the morning then I have to park on a side street or on an access road almost to Route 70. It all depends on time of day and day of week. It does get busy and there is a wait at times but every doctor has that problem. There is usually more than a handful of veterans there waiting, maybe 10 people at a time.”

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.

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 9)

Menendez:

Continued From Page 8 well as over the ensuing months?

When did you first communicate with U.S. gover nment off icials, including but not limited to the U.S. State Department, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Cont rol and Prevention (CDC), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, U.S. Mission t o I n t e r n a t io n a l O r g a n i z a t io n s i n Geneva, the W hite House, National Se c u r it y C ou nci l , or ot he r Tr u m p Ad m i n ist rat ion off icials, about the suspected or conf ir med outbreak in Wuhan? What was the frequency of those com mu n ications? W hat steps did you take to encourage the United States gover nment to abide by their obligat ions u nder the I nter nat ional Health Regulations to inform of public health risks outside their respective ter r itor ies that may spread disease inter nationally?

During the critical month of Febr uar y, your organization was able to ship over 1.4 million diagnostic tests to laboratories around the world, while the United States dist r ibuted fewer

The Toms River Times, June 13, 2020, Page 9 than 4,000. Did any U.S. State Department, CDC, or HHS off icial contact you or anyone on your response team inquir ing about this diag nostic test or the methods by which you came to support that test?

How important is U.S. f inancial and polit ical suppor t to the W HO’s re sponse to COVID-19 and other global healt h ef for t s? Plea se prov ide a ny analysis the WHO has conducted on the impact of the suspension of U.S. funding to the WHO, including the impact on COVID-19 related activities, the impact on the “Solidarity” Trial, vaccine development, as well as other global health priorities.

What reforms have you undertaken since becoming the Director-General?

Have there been any considerations about strengthening the IHR’s and the position of the Director-General? Is the WHO cur rently considering any str uctural or policy reforms?

We applaud the WHO’s continuing work to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and promote public health around the world.

We believe in a productive relationship between the United States and the WHO and hope you will help us in our continued efforts to bolster the global response to this pandemic as well as future outbreaks.

Governor Lifts Stay-At-Home Order, Allows More Outside Events

By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY – Gov. Phil Murphy an nou nced du r ing his Ju ne 9 press conference that the stay-at-home order has been lifted, and that outdoor gatherings – including those for graduations and religious services – are going to be allowed.

The stay-at-home order was issued on March 21 to slow the spread of COVID-19, and medical professionals have said this has been successful.

“We would not be at this point today had we not taken this step,” he said. The stayat-home order has saved countless lives.

The stay-at-home order was rescinded immediately.

Additionally, the capacity for indoor events has increased. The new headcount is whichever is less: 25 percent of the building’s capacity or 50 people. Face coverings and social distancing of 6 feet is still required.

He did note that if the downward trend of cases reverses, then restrictions might be enforced again.

Outside Events The studies show that transmission is less frequent outside, Murphy said.

Therefore, restrictions on outside events

will be more lenient.

The limit for outdoor gatherings is being increased to 100 people, Murphy said. Any gathering that falls under the 1st Amendment, such as religious gatherings outside or protests, are exempt from that number.

The state expects to increase the number to 250 people on June 22 and 500 people on July 6. Therefore, schools should prepare for graduations with as many as 500 people as soon as they are allowed on July 6.

All outdoor recreation is now being allowed, except in the case of amusement parks, water parks and arcades because these businesses have a high number of people with high-touch surfaces, he said.

Pools can also open on June 22.

Religious Ceremonies The governor made a special note to explain that the changes apply to religious ceremonies. Houses of worship can welcome 25 percent of their capacity or 50 people. They can also have outdoor gatherings.

Murphy said that if a religious leader doesn’t feel comfortable opening up a house of worship for ceremonies, they are not being required to do so.

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

It is not clear why eye melanomas develop. People born with certain growths in or on the eye, as well as those with lighter colored eyes, are at a greater risk for developing ocular melanoma. If your ophthalmologist suspects that you have ocular melanoma, he or she may recommend more tests. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622.

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 service space permitted under Gov. Phil Murphy’s Executive Order.

The ABC issued a special ruling that allows licensees to apply for one-time, temporary permits to extend their “licensed premises” – that is the area in which they are permitted to serve alcohol – to include decks, patios, 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 permits restaurants, bars and other food or beverage establishments to reopen for outdoor sit-down service 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 service, ABC is granting temporary permits that will allow licensees to expand liquor service into these areas.

“As New Jersey’s bars and restaurants reopen sitdown 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 first 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 industry to resume sit-down service with safeguards in place to protect public health” Graziano said, “the Special Ruling we’re announcing today will help offset the economic impact to licensees caused by a reduced capacity of patrons 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 safety and sanitization protocols that the Department of Health will be issuing.

It also permits establishments to expand service into outdoor areas to increase seating capacity. The “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 service 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 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.”

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.”

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.

Should Protesters Get Tested For COVID-19?

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – The state had been on lockdown for weeks and weeks.

Nothing but essential businesses. No large gatherings. But what about protests?

There have been several protests in the area recently. In Toms River and Freehold, people protested racism in general and the murder of George Floyd in particular. In Point Pleasant Beach, people protested the state’s continued lockdown.

Most people in the Toms River gathering were wearing face coverings. There were about 300 people there. In Freehold, the ground was marked every six feet so that the protesters could practice social distancing. There were about 40 people there. “A ny i nd iv idu al t hat negle ct s t o adhere to social distancing measures - including wearing a face covering - can certainly put themselves at risk for infection when out in public places for any reason,� said Brian Lippai, spokesman for the Ocean County Health Department. “The NJDOH recently recommended that NJ residents consider getting a COVID-19 diagnostic test to determine if they are infected. There are now more than 200 testing sites in NJ. In many instances you may need a doctor’s order (such as the drive thru site at Ocean County College) while other sites do not,� he continued.

“If a person feels that they may have been exposed to a close contact but aren’t sick should self-monitor and keep an eye out for symptoms,� he said.

Reportedly, about a thousand people attended the Point Beach rally on Memorial Day. Many were not wearing masks nor were they social distancing.

The protest was organized on Facebook by a group called ReopenNJ, who have been pushing for Gov. Phil Mur phy to lif t rest r ictions regarding social distancing and closing non-essential businesses.

Donna Leusner, Director of Communications for the NJ Department of Health said that people at the protest should consider keeping an eye on their own health, and look out for symptoms of COVID-19 (which include fever, cough or shortness of breath) two weeks after possible contamination.

While there was a protester who told a reporter he had coronavirus, the state has no way of knowing if this is true or if he had prolonged close contact with anyone else there, she said. “Regardless, those at the protest still should take precautions regarding face coverings, social distancing, hygiene, etc., and should consider self-monitoring for symptoms of COVID-19,� she said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that for some people the symptoms are like having a cold. For others they are quite severe or life threatening.

Six Common Questions About What to Expect After Breast Cancer Surgery

& Car Wash

Surgery is usually the first step in treating breast cancer in order to remove the tumor and any surrounding tissue that may be cancerous. It’s a daunting situation for any woman to have to face and one that brings up a lot of questions even after your physicians have determined the kind of surgery that is most appropriate for you based on the stage and type of cancer. The most important thing to know is that you can and should ask all your questions and make sure you feel fully informed of your options and the alternatives.

There are six questions women typically ask regarding what to expect immediately after breast cancer surgery.

1) How Long Will I Be In The Hospital or Surgery Center?

If you have a lumpectomy, you will most likely go home the same day of surgery. Even with a mastectomy, with or without breast reconstruction, you can even go home the same day. YES! In today’s day and age, we have long-acting novocaines that we can inject in the area of the surgery as soon as we’re done, so that whole area will be numb, with no pain, for at least two or three days post-operatively. At that point you’re only taking something such as Tylenol.

We have certainly come a long way with post operative care of breast cancer surgery patients.

2) How Do I Care For The Incision and Stitches?

Because we use waterproof dressings on the incision, you don’t need to change the dressings.

It’s ok the shower the day after your surgery. One exception to this would be if drains are in place, and then your physician will guide you on how to best handle that. But in general, the stitches will stay in two weeks post-operatively.

3) Will I Be In Pain Afterwards?

As in questions one, we explained that with theses new long-acting novocaines that are injected as soon as the surgery is done, patient’s don’t experience any discomfort or pain for two to three days, and after three days any discomfort is handled by Tylenol. And Yes, this even occurs after a mastectomy.

4) When Can I Resume Normal Activities Like Exercises?

Usually, you’ll feel comfortable resuming your normal activities very quickly. After a simple lumpectomy, you can resume activities the next day, and after a mastectomy, in a couple of days.

Your doctor and nurse help will assess what’s best for you and your activity level. As a general rule, activities such as running, exercising at the gym or heavy lifting, should be restricted for two weeks.

5) Will People Be Able to Tell I’ve had a Lumpectomy or Mastectomy?

Breast cancer surgery has come a long way and it’s not the radical deforming surgery it once was, in your grandmother’s day. Advances in procedures and oncoplastic surgery, combining not only the cancer surgery, but plastic surgery with minimal or hidden scars, are very prominent in today’s day and age.

6) When Do I Get The Results?

You should expect to receive the pathology report after your lumpectomy, or mastectomy, about four days or so post-operatively.

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.

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.

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.

Urinary Leakage with Sneezing, Laughing and Coughing: Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy | By Dr. Jamie Scomak, PT All too often we hear friends, family and clients repeating these lines to us, that somehow over the past few months, years or decades, they have noticed some “leaking” with everyday activities and bodily responses. This problem may have randomly emerged or slowly developed but either way they can cause havoc on your life.

We understand that a lot of people feel uncomfortable talking about this subject matter and choose to conceal it, however, no one should feel this way because it is a fairly common problem yet it does not have to be your norm.

Leaking when sneezing, laughing, coughing or changing body positions can describe a form of incontinence called stress incontinence. It occurs when there is increased pressure in the abdomen and pelvic region causing increased pressure on your bladder that subsequently results in a loss of urine. If you think about the last time you sneezed, you probably felt some pressure on your stomach as you let your sneeze out. Or when you had a really hard laugh and called it a “belly laugh.” Or when you went to pick up a heavy object and tensed your whole body to do so. These scenarios describe a potential time

when you had some leakage because your pelvic floor muscles were unable to overcome the pressure in your abdomen as a result of these events.

What are pelvic floor muscles? They are a group of muscles that line the bottom of your pelvic region. They have a bunch of responsibilities including assisting with posture, stability, sexual functions, and bladder and bowel control. When you sneeze, laugh or cough, these muscles need to be able to provide you the support needed to prevent any loss of urine. They should be able to contract just like any other muscle in your body to perform their job appropriately. For example, when you go to lift up your groceries, your bicep muscle contracts to support the additional weight or resistance from your grocery bag. In the same manner, your pelvic floor muscles should be contracting as you sneeze, laugh or cough to keep your pelvic organs supported and prevent any leaking.

This reaction of the pelvic floor muscles may not be happening for multiple reasons. It may mean these muscles are weak and need some help with strengthening to improve their function. Or it may mean these muscles are too tight and may need

some help with elongation so they can contract better. Or it may mean these muscles need some help with coordination as they are not contracting at the right time – maybe too late or too early. Either way these are all things that can be addressed by a pelvic floor physical therapist.

How would I know which of these reasons is causing the incontinence I am experiencing? Inner Dynamics Physical Therapy is a pelvic health and wellness center that has five physical therapists who specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy.

The therapists have all undergone training post their Doctoral degrees to specifically treat muscles in the pelvic region. Through a thorough history and examination, they will be able to determine the cause of your symptoms and develop a treatment plan to address your concerns.

In general, physical therapists work on the musculoskeletal system to address movement and overall daily functions. The pelvic floor muscles are no different, except that they have functions that go beyond just helping with movement. At Inner Dynamics Physical Therapy, we will address

what’s potentially causing you to leak when you sneeze, laugh or cough, and guide you through appropriate exercises and interventions to improve your overall wellbeing. Therapy involves therapeutic regimens that are non-surgical or invasive.

Treatment typically consists of learning appropriate exercises and receiving education about bladder control.

Physical therapists have direct access in the State of New Jersey, meaning you do not need a prescription to attend therapy. However, if your insurance company requires a script you will be informed.

No matter how long you have been experiencing any urinary problems, please call our office to address your concerns. We will assist you in setting up an initial evaluation to be treated by one of our specialized pelvic floor physical therapists. Don’t hesitate on addressing this problem because simple changes could improve your whole quality of life. Call our office at 732-506-3471. Please call with any questions!

Sherry Karpe, of West Long Branch, completed the screening process in May and will donate her blood this month for COVID-19 patients. She contracted the virus in early March, and although she didn’t need to be hospitalized, she was seriously ill for more than two weeks before recovering.

“At times it felt as if an elephant was standing on my chest, making it difficult to breathe and I just felt terrible, like the f lu but worse,” Karpe said.

Karpe is a laboratory outreach manager at the academic medical center. “My parents also became ill from COVID-19 and needed to be hospitalized. It was such a terrible ordeal, I don’t want another family to go through what we did.”

She added, “that’s why I decided to donate. If I could help even one other family, by assisting a loved one in their recovery, it would be worth it.”

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.
