New Lakehurst Police officer William R. Bowers takes the oath of office administered by Borough Attorney Ian M. Goldman. Bowers was joined by family members for the occasion.

By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – The highlight of a recent Borough Council meeting was the installation of two full-time police officers.

The meeting had Borough Attorney Ian M. Goldman swear in the officers. With them, Pol i c e C h ief M a t t Kline said there are now nine full-time officers in the 13-member police department.

The new off icers included William R. Bowers and Harry J. Paul. Bowers is 24 years old and started his Law Enforcement career in Lakehurst.

Officer Bowers began his career as a SLEO I Special Police Officer with the Borough of Lakehurst in 2015.

He graduated from the Ocean County Police Academy as a SLEO II Special Police Officer and continued to serve the community in that capacity.

Residents Concerned Over Land’s Future

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – During at what was the first live meeting of the governing body since March, officials and residents addressed the future of redevelopment properties and the sale of a township property.

Resident Hank Glen asked about how long developers involved with three redevelopment projects in the township have to “take care of these properties and to go forward for whatever they are going to do with them?”

“It depends on how fast the developer and the township counselor get to an agreement.

We haven’t signed anything to my knowledge yet. We are still waiting for the proposals and even though they went through the planning board for the approval that they need for redevelopment they still have to go before the Pinelands Commission so I would estimate we won’t see any building on those properties for at least three years,” Council President Fusaro said.

Glen noted that the Township Planner had reviewed the properties to be designated for redevelopment and in the case of each of the three properties in question he mentioned the conditions of those properties. “It has garbage on it, people dumping garbage on it and basically it is a detriment to Manchester Township.”

He added that for the time being the property “is just sitting there with broken glass, garbage and dilapidated buildings. The faster we move forward the better. Let’s clean up this town.

Police Regulations Changing Because Of George Floyd

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – The updating of use of force protocols for police, existing police training, addressing racism and better rapport between the law enforcement and the community were among the many subjects touched on during a recent virtual forum.

Various law enforcement representatives addressed community policing, concerns of social justice and police accountability during an online

town hall meeting hosted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

The forum called “Moving Forward: A Conversation on Law Enforcement and Community Policing” also focused on internal affairs investigations. It was streamed live on the evening of July 29 and was sparked by rallies calling for social justice reforms in the wake of the George Floyd Black Lives Matter protests.

(Regulations - See Page 7)

Why did we let it go so long before we took action so far as ordinances to prevent this and to have owners of the property keeping their property clean?”

“By putting in that it is non-condemnation does that mean we cannot condemn the property? By putting that in it, that gives them more reason for them to get around to it when they get around to it. They are asking for special consideration and I think if they are asking for special consideration, I think they could help clean up the property,” Glen added.

Fusaro responded saying, “they (the developers) are asking to go for redevelopment approval and then they are going to do something with

time like everything else.”

Township Attorney Jerry Dasti presided over two land auctions early in the meeting. One involved 2909 Wilbur Ave. which received no bids while the second at 1409 Fourth Ave. received one bid and was sold to the township for $5,000 Dasti said that the public auction of township property featured the private sale of real estate, the Wilbur Avenue property was being sold “as is with a minimum bid of $9,000 10% down and the successful bidder would also pay the township $500 reimburse the town for all expenses and would have to be adjoining property owners of lot 2199.” His call for bidders went unheeded.

The Fourth Avenue property is a non-conforming lot and does not meet the zoning requirements. This means it would be difficult to build on. The minimum bid was for $5,000

with a deposit of 10% and would also have to include $550 to reimburse the town for all costs incurred. That property had one bidder, Charles Hansen.

Two ordinances were also approved on second reading and they involved a land donation at 25 Schoolhouse Rd. and an ordinance that amended noise restrictions within the township.

Council President Sam Fusaro called the land donation a good deal and thanked the family who owned it for providing it to the township.

A voice from the audience said, “sounds good to me…take it.”

The noise ordinance amendment which was also passed unanimously concerned construction work hours specifically. “Prior to this, construction work could go on until 10 o’clock at night and that seemed a little late for work so we just changed it a couple of hours,” Fusaro said.

Officers:

Officer Paul has a Bachelor’s Degree from Stockton University, majoring in Criminal Justice.

Kline said the department has seen some changes since he took over as chief in January with new uniforms, a modernized records system and a few other modifications. He noted that the borough’s department would continue to maintain its state accreditation program which calls for law enforcement agencies to meet the highest standards and polices. Those agencies have previously achieved the accreditation process must renew them every three years.

The Lakehurst Police Dept. received news of its accreditation renewal in October 2018.

Continued From Page 1 continuing his education, majoring in Criminal Justice.

“These properties are where the general public drives by every day and they look at it. It should be cleaned up sooner than later,” Glen said.

Mayor Ken Palmer noted that a redevelopment property in Whiting is on undeveloped land and the one by the golf course on Route 37 is clean. The one that was in “bad condition” was next to the golf range. He noted that they have graded the land, removing a huge mound of dirt that was a point of contention for the town officials. “I hear your concerns and we agree with you but they have taken steps.”

“We should encourage them along to make it a little quicker,” Glen added.

Residents were able to submit questions prior to the forum moderated Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer who introduced a large number of speakers during the over two hour session. Billhimer said “this is part of our ongoing series of 21 for 21 community policing projects and the purposes of these programs is to strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve. This is our fi rst virtual presentation.”

“This dialogue is important the depth of George Floyd in Minneapolis was tragic and criminal in nature. My goal, the attorney general’s goal and all of us in law enforcement is to make sure something like that doesn’t happen here, anywhere in New Jersey or anywhere in the United States,” Billhimer said.

Third Congressional District Rep. Andy Kim was the fi rst to speak and he touched on the recent loss of 17-term Congressman John Lewis who was a civil rights leader.

“In the last few days we said our farewells as a nation and in Congress to my colleague John Lewis. I feel honored and blessed to have served with him for the time that I had. He had the courage to stand up for what he believed in and for justice and equality for our nation,” Kim said.

The congressman added during his last conversation with Lewis, “he reminded me that the whole world was watching the United States right now and we needed

The Manchester Times, August 8, 2020, Page 7 to push forward and remain a place that is committed to the fight for justice, for equality, addressing systemic racism.”

“I know through this meeting…we need to show that this is really about service to the community. There is no bill that we can write that will erase the challenges that we face…all of us need to work together,” Kim added.

Billhimer said “the Attorney General in New Jersey is revising our use of force policy. That policy was originally put into place in 1985 and then it was revised in 2000. It really hasn’t changed since the year 2000. It provides standards and guidance for all law enforcement officers as to the amount of force that they can use to compel compliance to an unwilling subject.”

He noted that the Attorney General was looking for public input and guidance and comments made from forums like this across the state.

Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said, “Over the last 50 years we’ve seen a lot of changes in policies. We’ve seen policies in domestic violence, notifications, warrants - all these things impact the public safety of the residents. We’ve seen changes in equipment, computers and video cameras. The technology we have now is phenomenal.

“All these things are assisting us and public safety. The thing that hasn’t changed and what I’ve seen is the aspect that is key is the passion to serve,” the Sheriff said. “These young people have the same passion. We have many young people who

want to step up to the plate and serve the public.”

He noted that protests in support of equality and opposition to police brutality within the county had been peaceful.

“Everyone respected each other’s rights and I think that’s good and I think we are fortunate in this county to have the support of residents. I think that is the key here - we have to respect each other.”

Others on the panel included Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Chief of Detectives Joseph F. Mitchel, Retired Police Instructor Ocean County Police Academy

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

E DITORIAL Where Do You Get Your Bad Ideas?

We need contact tracing for bad ideas.

Contact tracing is a term everyone learned during the pandemic. When it c ome s t o COV I D -19, officials have said that contact tracing is one of the best tools they have. It allows them to know who you came in contact with. They can find out who gave it to who. Then, those people who have been in contact would be tested and quarantine would be recommended.

We need to do this for bad ideas. If you’re hospitalized with COVID-19, medical professionals should ask you where you get your information from. It would go like this: Nurse: “Were you at any gatherings?”

Patient: “Yes.” Nurse: “Were you wearing a mask?”

Patient: “No.” Nurse: “Why not?”

Patient: “We don’t need them.”

Nurse: “Where do you

get your news?”

Patient: “Pictures on Facebook.”

The nurse would write down where the patient heard news. Facebook.

Twitter. YouTube. Cert ai n news outlet s… all of these have been complicit in spreading false information about COVID-19 (and pretty much everything else).

After a few months, we’d have a huge body of data showing where people are getting dangerous information. The Federal Communications Commission can fine the network or social media site for knowingly spreading dangerous information.

Family members of the deceased can file a class action lawsuit.

Is this a far-fetched idea? Yes. The other option, of course, is for everyone to just stop lying to the A mer ican people, but that’s even less likely.

Jackson Parke Project Forced On Residents When is it unconstitutional?

How is it possible that the interests of New Jersey developers can supersede vital provisions in the Fair Share Housing (FSH) Act, A-500, and when do the FSH Attorneys choose to turn their heads to such provisions as a means to help developers cash in at the expense of residents’ concerns?

Jackson Parke North is located in the historical areas of Cassville and Rova Fa r ms. T he project by Lennar and EL@Jackson, owned by Jack Mor ris, will be transporting 100 truckloads of fi ll per day for the next 2 years. This amounts to 1 truck every 5 minutes for 8 hours every day. Which also means that commuters who use Route 571 will have their commute disrupted for years and taxpayers footing the bill to repair tow nship roads of Reed and Perrineville from deterioration of truck traffic. These small country roads were not made for even a school bus and car to pass, let alone tandem truck.

The massive fi ll demand for this development is only being done to elevate the land 10 feet above ground level so the proper t y ca n accom mod ate basements for some of the 551 units due to high water table and wetlands.

Ultimately, this two-part project, (North and South) will have 1,100 units total and environ mental impacts on the waterways, endangered species, historical sites, coupled with the lack of access to public t ranspor tation and employment, along with a storm-water management plan that will exhaust into the Rova Farms Lake tributary potentially flooding re side nt s dow n st rea m.

Most, if not all of these provisions are cited in the Fair Share Housing

Letters To The Editor Statutes A-500 and this de- dence of their allegations. Education Is Key veloper, the FSH attorney and Ocean County Judge has blatantly decided to ignore it.

In April 2020, Ocean Count y Super ior Cour t Judge Mark A. Troncone ordered the Jackson Planning Board to over tur n their unanimous denial of the project and then on July 7, 2020 sided with FSH and the developers granting a fi nal approval of the North section and assigned a monitor to oversee the South’s approval.

Judge Troncone and the FSH attorney Adam Gordon ignored strong opposition and overwhelming credible evidence f rom Jackson residents and a new g rassroots organiz at ion , CU PON. J MOC (Citizens United to Protect our Neighborhoods Jackson and Manchester). CUPON.JMOC was created in late 2019, where residents sought to ensure responsible development and land use that upholds State and Township laws. We live here, enjoy our homes and neighborhoods, respect our schools, fi rst responders and the importance of our environment, as almost half of Jackson is on well-water. CUPON conducts extensive research and analyzes documents provided by both township and developer’s experts, applies codes, NJ statutes and then asks questions... a lot of questions.

What our young organization has discovered is participating in the democratic process and practicing our First Amendment Right, the freedom of speech (or asking questions), comes at a heavy price, especially when money is involved.

Not only has the Fair Share Housing attorney, Adam Gordon made baseless allegations of anti-Semitism against our organization and cited two other lawsuits, another questionable development we a sked questions on and another with the Department of Justice, both without evi-

So who knows how Attorney General William Barr heard about ou r you ng hometown group. But interestingly enough, similar to a high school rumor, if you say it enough times it must be true and those lies can be spewed alongside case law in a court brief.

But while Adam Gordon, Judge Troncone and the DOJ regressed into their school age mentality, they never a sked about ou r diverse membership of residents from all walks of life, ethnicity, culture and religion.

Therefore, when Judge Troncone sided with FSHC on behalf of Lennar and EL@ Jackson to essentially mandate 1,100 housing units (Jackson Parke North and South) to accommodate 220 Fair Share Housing units, it was done with prejudice against the Jackson Planning Board, its experts, residents and CUPON.JMOC to ensure a fi nancial windfall for the developers. Judge Troncone act ually chose to ignore residents’ concerns about potentially contaminated fi ll and sided with attorney Gordon’s biased attacks and lies contained in letters to the Judge stati ng that “ the residents never brought up the fi ll” ignoring Planning Board minutes of residents and CUPON.JMOC testimony.

As a result CUPON.JMOC raised funds and retained legal counsel paid for by countless concerned Jackson residents to uphold our rights for a fair process and our quality of life. It’s time to retur n land use decisions to local governments and keep politics and f inancial inf luence out of local government decisions.

Elenor M. Hannum Jackson Citizens United to Protect our Neighborhoods Jackson and Manchester

For Police News headlines read: “New Jersey moves closer to licensing police officers.”

That may be a step in the right direction, but it is not the answer to resolving the problems facing many police departments today: police accountability standards, and the perception of police brutality.

Want a better police officer, then raise the educational requirements for becoming one! All police departments as a condition of employment, should establish an entrance level requirement that mandates all new police recruits possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.

Studies have repeatedly shown that college educated police officers have generally rated higher in overall police performance, with substantially fewer civilian complaints. Studies have also indicated that a four-year college experience allows for the maturing of the person through both academic course work and daily interaction in a more dynamically, culturally diverse setting.

While advanced education will not make a competent person of one who is intellectually deficient, when all other factors are equal, the college educated man or woman is generally better qualified for police service than the one who is not.

To their credit, the New Jersey State Police and a few local New Jersey police departments, have already instituted a bachelor’s degree requirement for new inductees into their departments.

The quality of police service will not significantly improve until higher education requirements (a bachelor’s degree) are required as a condition for employment for all new police officers – education is the key!

Sami’s Law Passes House From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. − Bipartisan legislation named in honor of Samantha “Sami” Josephson - a senior at the University of South Carolina who was kidnapped and brutally murdered in 2019 by a predator pretending to be her Uber driver - was passed unanimously in the House of Representatives.

Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), the bill’s prime sponsor, said that among its provisions, Sami’s Law will “require ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft to deploy a verifiable electronic access system to match drivers with passengers before the ride begins to enhance safety for the ride-hailing public.

Chief cosponsor Rep. Tom Suozzi (DNY) said, “Our Smith/Suozzi bill works to provide consumers with a level of safety before entering a vehicle… As Members of Congress, it is our duty to do all we can do protect our constituents. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass this commonsense, bipartisan legislation in short order.”

Sami’s parents, Marci and Seymour said

“It’s bittersweet. It’s been emot ional. We’d much rather have Samantha sitting with us here on the couch, but to create a law so nobody else gets hurt is a good thing. It’s a huge step to get it through the House. Now we need to get the Senate to act on it hopefully soon.”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said “After the heartbreaking murder of their daughter Samantha, Seymour and Marci Josephson turned their agony into courageous action to promote rideshare safety and education and to prevent future tragedies. Passing Sami’s Law is a fitting tribute to her memory, and it is critical to ensuring that rideshare companies have protections in place for the safety and well-being of all their passengers. I applaud the relentless advocacy of Congressman Chris Smith, along with Congressman Tom Suozzi, for crafting this important bill and ensuring its strong, bipartisan support on the House Floor.”

Smith said “given the pain due to the unimageable loss of their daughter - Seymour and Marci have been heroic, tenacious and extraordinarily persuasive. They have been a critically important part of the often-intense negotiations with multiple stakeholders including Uber and Lyft.’

Both Uber and Lyft praised passage of Sami’s Law.

to all our customers for SUPPORTING THE STAFF & PATIENTLY WAITING FOR US We are so grateful.

hospitalizations and place further strain on the healthcare system.”

Women who are planning to become pregnant should check with their doctor to make sure they are up to date. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends all pregnant women receive flu vaccine at any time during pregnancy, and whooping cough vaccine (Tdap) early in their third trimester, during each pregnancy.

Vaccinating women against these diseases is a safe and effective way to help protect both mother and child.

Flu vaccination is encouraged as soon as children are six months old.

Throughout childhood, other vaccines are recommended, including ones that prevent certain diseases like meningococcal disease and infections that can lead to human papillomavirus (HPV) associated cancers.

Booster shots for things like tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis are also needed.

In adulthood, you might need vaccines to protect against whooping cough, pneumonia and shingles. Other vaccines might be recommended based on age, health condition, job or lifestyle.

Most health insurance companies cover recommended immunizations. Parents who need financial help can ask their medical professional about the Vaccines for Children program.

The Vaccine Finder tool (vaccinefinder. org/) can assist in finding vaccination sites in a particular area.

For more information about when people should be given immunizations, visit cdc. gov/vaccines/.

Four NJ Counties Considered COVID-19 Hot Spots

By Chris Lundy TRENTON – The State Department of Health is encouraging all residents to get up to date on their vaccinations during National Immunization Awareness Month.

“I strongly encourage New Jerseyans to schedule an appointment with their healthcare provider to catch-up on vaccines they may have missed during the early stages of the pandemic,” said Health Commissioner Judith M. Persichilli. “Many healthcare practices have implemented additional precautions and policies to ensure vaccines can be administered in an environment that maximizes patient safety. It is especially important that everyone 6 months of age and older receive a flu vaccine this year while COVID-19 may be circulating within our communities.”

Childhood vaccines protect against 16 serious diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, mumps, rubella, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), hepatitis B, varicella (chickenpox) and pneumococcal disease, thereby reducing the spread of disease to others in classrooms, child care centers and communities.

Many serious diseases are no longer common because of vaccines. However, they do still exist. For example, the 2019 measles outbreaks showed just how dangerous it can be when children – and adults – do not vaccinate.

“It’s critical to ensure that routine vaccination is maintained during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to protect individuals and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases and outbreaks,” “Routine vaccination prevents illnesses that lead to additional medical visits,

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE JBJ Soul Kitchen’s Two Locations Offer Meals To Go

By Bob Vosseller RED BANK − Patrons can order meals online for curbside pickup or dine outdoors at JBJ South Kitchen community restaurants while Paying It Forward to feed individuals and families in need.

JBJ Soul Kitchen, a non-profit community restaurant, recently announced it is offering meals to go for curbside pickup at both its Red Bank and Toms River locations. Patrons can enjoy healthy, three-course meals at home while Paying It Forward to feed individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.

Both restaurants are currently open for outdoor seating and offering a complimentary kid entrée with the purchase of one regular entrée.

Dorothea Bongiovi, the founder and director of JBJ South Kitchen said, “the emergence of COVID-19 has bolstered our commitment to helping individuals and families in need.”

“Since we transitioned back to our Pay It Forward model last month, about 83% of our meals are being served to those struggling with food insecurity. We want to spread the word that those in need can still count on us for a delicious meal served with dignity,” she said.

Bongiovi said, “at the same time, those who wish to support our mission can stop by to enjoy a meal outside or order a meal online for curbside pickup. Together, we can do what we can to help our community during this challenging time.”

As opposed to ““pay what you” want community restaurant models, JBJ Soul Kitchen is a Pay It Forward community restaurant where dignity and respect are always on the menu. Paying guests donate a minimum of $20 for a three-course meal, including soup or salad, an entrée, and a dessert. When ordering diners also have the ability to donate extra meals for those in need.

Those unable to pay are invited to enjoy

a meal and learn how volunteering at the restaurant can support their individual and family needs—from access to available resources in the community through our partner network to tasty meals in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

During the state mandated quarantine period of the pandemic, JBJ Soul Kitchen upheld its mission to help those struggling with food insecurity by providing grab-and-go meals to those in need.

Both restaurants served a combined total of 7,800 meals to individuals, families, community partners, and front-line workers.

Since it reopened, JBJ Soul Kitchen remains committed to the health and safety of its staff, volunteers, patrons, and community and has established house rules to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, following the State of New Jersey Department of Health, CDC, and local regulations.

Lou Morreale, the general manager of JBJ Soul Kitchen added his thanks to his dedicated staff, patrons, community partners and donors “for helping sustain this effort during this challenging time.”

Hours for JBJ Soul Kitchen Red Bank are Wednesday – Saturday from 5 – 7 p.m. with pre-order pickup available between 6 – 7 p.m.

JBJ Soul Kitchen Toms River is open Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 5 – 7 p.m. with pre-order pickup available between 6– 7 p.m. and on Wednesday and Thursday from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. with pre-order pickup between 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Menus feature seasonal items leveraging locally-sourced and organic ingredients when possible from JBJ Soul Kitchen gardens. Vegetarian options, gluten-free, dairyfree substitutes are always available. Visit the JBJ Soul Kitchen jbjsoulkitchen.org/to-gomeals/ to order online and watch the “how to order” video.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE How To Stay Safe During Hurricanes

By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – As we continue into hurricane season, officials are telling residents how to prepare for the worst.

Residents should walk around their homes and look for anything that could be blown away or pushed over, officials said. They should secure them any way possible. This goes for visitors as well.

Boats should be secured. Cars should be moved to higher ground if you’re in flood-prone area so that the water doesn’t get into the engine. A lot of vehicles are totaled after huge storms because of this.

Deck furniture, outside umbrellas, flags, portable basketball hoops, garbage cans, and loose rain spouts should be secured.

The strong winds might cause power outages. You should always assume a downed power line is still live and deadly. Keep battery-operated flashlights handy. Charge your electronics before it gets really bad so you have them for when the storm hits.

To report an outage to Jersey Central Power and Light: • Text OUT to 544487 • Online at firstenergycorp.com/jersey_central_ power_light.html • Use the JCP&L smartphone app (iPhone and Android)

• Via the “Report an Outage” tab on Facebook • Call 888-LIGHTSS (888-544-4877) to report power outages or downed power lines.

To report an outage to Atlantic City Electric: • Call 1-800 -833-7476, follow the prompts, and ask for a call back to confi rm that power has been restored.

• Use their mobile app • Visit atlanticcityelectric.com/storm These storms might have dangers that you can’t even see – like rip currents. Listen to lifeguards to determine if swimming is safe.

“Storms often raise curiosity and people want to go see what the ocean may look like,” Ocean Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said. “It’s really best to stay in a secure place until the storm passes. Venturing out can put you and our emergency responders at risk.”

If you must drive, motorists should always follow the rule of “turn around don’t drown” when you see flooded roadways.

For more information on hurricane and storm preparedness visit the Ocean County website at co.ocean.nj.us and click on Be Prepared, Office of Emergency Management.

Police Continue Hunt For 2019 Barbershop Murderer

By Chris Lundy NEPTUNE − Family said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time – a robbery gone wrong. Witnesses said he confronted the shooter, which allowed others to leave unharmed.

Unfortunately, Wayne Jones’ killer remains free.

The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said the investigation into the Sept. 20, 2019 murder remains open and are asking the public for any information.

Jones, 46, of Neptune, was at the R-NU Barbershop, 1030 Old Corlies Avenue, that evening.

Jones and another man were brought to Jersey Shore University Medical Center with gunshot wounds. Jones died from his injuries while the other man was treated and released.

Police said this was the second homicide to take place at that barbershop.

Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni

is urging the community to reach out to police in hopes of bringing closure to the victim’s family. Gramiccioni is reminding community members that those with information can contact police either directly or anonymously.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Detective Daniel Newman of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office at 1-800-533-7443 or Detective Erick Amadruto of the Neptune Township Police Department at 732-9888000. Anyone who feels the need to remain anonymous but has information about a crime can submit a tip to Monmouth County Crime Stoppers by calling their confidential telephone tip-line at 1-800-671-4400; or by downloading and using the free P3 Tips mobile app (available for iOS and Android - p3tips.com/community/index.htm). Monmouth County Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of criminals and fugitives.

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

Hearing Help During Pandemic Times In my opinion, the effects of Covid-19 will remain in effect for at least the next 6 months and more than likely will linger into 2021. I strongly believe there will be several viable vaccines as well as therapeutics by the end of this year. In the meantime, it’s very important to wear a mask when social distancing is not an option. Always carry “hand sanitizer” with you!

When you decide to visit your hearing healthcare professional, make sure they have procedures in place in line with CDC recommendations. For example, in my practice, we take everyone’s temperature and have them complete a covid-19 questionnaire. Secondly, we limit only two patients in our waiting room at the same time. Third, we allow more time between patients to disinfect all areas.

Fourth, we have each patient leave our office from a different location. As a general rule, we are allowing at least an extra 15-30 minutes per patient. What this should mean is that you’re hearing care professional should be spending more time with you at each appointment. Equally important, if you’re not

comfortable entering our offices, we offer curbside services for folks who just have a hearing aid problem. We would disinfect the hearing instrument, fix it, and return it to you while you wait in your car. If we have to send the hearing aid back for repair, we can provide you with a loaner hearing instrument.

Finally, as we remain stuck in our homes, we realize how important it is to hear clearly. Don’t hesitate to have your hearing tested and if you’re wearing a hearing aid, it should cost nothing for us to clean and adjust them. Please be careful when removing your mask while wearing your hearing aids. Many folks have lost their hearing instruments because of the mask. Ask your hearing care professional to add a “sports lock” to the receiver wires and/or consider custom micromolds.

Dr. Izzy is always available to answer all of your important questions about most hearing care issues. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or visit us at www.Gardenstatehearing.com. Our offices are in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

Tepezza For Thyroid Eye Disease

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The prescription infusion was recently approved by the FDA to treat thyroid eye bulging which is related to Graves’ disease. This is an autoimmune thyroid condition that increases thyroid hormone in the body, and it impacts the eyes sometimes. Every person is different of course, however, when the eye is affected due to thyroid illness it causes great discomfort as well as eye bulging, termed proptosis.

Just to clarify, Graves’ disease is one of two different thyroid autoimmune conditions.

Graves’ causes the thyroid hormone to swing high and low, but mainly high! Using thyroid medication may exacerbate the problem because the hormone is already elevated. The other disease is Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis or “hashi” for short, which causes the opposite problem. In this case, thyroid hormone swings high and low, but eventually becomes deficient, and the person is supported on thyroid medication, or supplements.

With Graves’ disease, the eyes are probably the most outward manifestation of the illness which is taking place inside the body. Tepezza has been shown to very quickly improve double vision, bulging, visual acuity and eye pain and swelling. The eye bulging was reduced by at least 2 millimeters.

The medication is given via intravenous (IV) injection, it is not an eye drop. The infusion drip is given over an hour, and conducted once every 3 weeks. The course of therapy requires 8 separate infusions.

You may be wondering: Is it treating the Graves’ disease? No, it’s specifically for the eye-related concerns, especially those related to eye bulging.

Is it useful for other vision problems like

retinopathy, glaucoma, floaters or cataracts?

No, not at all.

Is it stopping the autoimmune process within the body? No. Autoimmune conditions are difficult to manage, but not impossible. I’ve seen a lot of success when people reduce their body’s toxic load for undigested food particles. You can do this with various different digestive enzymes such as pancreatin, DPP-IV, Pepsin, Amylase, Lipase, Protease, and others. It is the partially undigested food particles that leak into the blood stream and ignite the immune system such that it destroys your thyroid gland little by little. Another theory behind autoimmune diseases is that they are driven by pathogens in the body, like viruses or bacteria. Some of us inherit genes that predispose us to a particular condition.

Tepezza’s side effects include muscle cramps or spasms, nausea, hair loss, diarrhea, fatigue, hearing difficulties, headache and possible taste perception alterations. It is not a given you get those of course, but the participants in the study have to report whatever happens to them during the clinical trial, so these are just possibilities. Other more serious reports included infusion reactions, a worsening of inflammatory bowel disease and hyperglycemia. Naturally, hyperglycemia occurred more often in people with pre-existing diabetes.

If you are looking for specific information on Graves’ disease, Hashi’s or hypothyroidism in general, I offer natural solutions for your consideration. These are discussed in my articles which are archived at suzycohen.com and in my best-seller, Thyroid Healthy available on Amazon or my website. For more information about the medication I’ve discussed today, visit tepezza.com.

Ocean County Officials Recommend Residents Prepare For Hurricane Season

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – A global pandemic, murder hornets, and various other odd occurrences in 2020 have made this year unique and perhaps a bit frightening. Now almost on cue comes … hurricanes!

A record eight named storms already born

in the Atlantic and a ninth expected to form, Ocean County emergency management officials are ready if a major tropical system approaches our coast.

Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as director of law and public safety said,“we already had a close call with Tropical Storm

Fay, which came ashore just south of us earlier in July.”

“With so many more months to go in hurricane season and looking at the number of named storms we have already seen, we have to remain vigilant,” Kelly added.

Preparation currently means dealing with

the continuing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“There’s no question that COVID-19 will make storm preparations more challenging.

However, our Office of Emergency Management has already made plans on how to deal with pandemic safeguards during any evacuations,” Kelly added.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also issued guidelines for how local agencies should prepare for a storm-related disaster.

Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy said, “we understand that things would be different if a hurricane strikes during the pandemic.” He is asking all residents to prepare in advance, before a major storm approaches the county.

“If you can safely evacuate to a friend or family’s home, that’s the thing to do,” Mastronardy said.

While social distancing may be difficult in public shelters the CDC has updated its rules on how to stay safe at a shelter, which include the usual guidelines for social distancing and wearing masks.

Mastronardy recommended residents keep an extra stockpile of nonperishable food items in their home. “Also be aware that shelter locations could change because of the need to protect residents from COVID-19,” the Sheriff added.

The Sheriff added, “make sure your prescriptions are filled and up to date.” As usual, residents and visitors should also pay close attention to local weather reports.

Kelly added, “forecasts usually give us at least five days warning of a dangerous storm. Pay attention and be ready to act.”

Those evacuated to a shelter are recommended to bring blankets/sleeping bags/ pillows, change of clothes, cash/credit card/checkbook, family documents, birth certificates, insurance policies, stock certificates, medicine and prescription drugs, infant formula/food, special dietary foods and diapers.

Along with a household Disaster Supplies Kit, it is important to have Animal Supply Kits and Take-Along Bags for service animals and pets. Pet kits should include: a two-week supply of water and (Hurricane - See Page 27)

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

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

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

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

New Jersey courts have traditionally

Marc S. Galella Esq.

been very reluctant to allow force majeure clauses to excuse the perfor mance of one party to a commercial lease and especially to excuse the payment of rent under the lease. Courts look to see whether the event should have been anticipated by the parties and addressed in the lease. Not all unforeseen events are subject to the force majeure clause.

The lease would need to be reviewed as to whether the shutdown of a business by the government is an event that is covered by the force majeure clause. In addition, the coronavirus may not be considered an “act of God” if a court determines if it should have been foreseen in the drafting of the lease.

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

Please note that the discussion above pertains only to commercial leases. Force majeure clauses are not typically found in residential leases.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Salvaging Summer Fun During A Pandemic Dear Joel, For the past several years, my husband and I have had the pleasure of spending two weeks with our two grandchildren, now ages 11 and 7 while my daughter and son-in-law vacation with friends. We live at the shore in Monmouth County, so most of our days were spent on the beach or at the pool in our gated community. Evenings were filled with all the wonderful festivals, fairs, and other activities the Jersey Shore has to offer. This year, because of the pandemic, my daughter and son-in-law will not be going on vacation but would still like to send the grandchildren to us. We would love to see them, but we are not comfortable going to crowded places such as the beach, boardwalks, etc., and our pool remains closed due to COVID concerns. We have no idea how to keep them occupied for two weeks while keeping all of us safe. We’re contemplating cancelling, but we don’t want to disappoint everyone.

Do you have any suggestions as to how to make this work?

Answer: It sounds like you’ve been making wonderful memories for you and your grandchildren, and it would be a shame not to make more. Even at their tender ages, they are

fully aware of the restrictions and limitations that COVID has placed on just about everything. Many of the activities you’ve done in the past can be done safely with some adjustments, such as avoiding the beach on weekends and going later in the day when it’s less crowded. Parks and playground are open for picnics and hikes, as well as zoos and aquariums with limited capacity. Board games, card games and puzzles are great evening entertainment along with cooking and grilling lunches and dinners together. Arts and crafts projects to bring home to Mom and Dad make it feel like summer camp. It may take a little more creativity on your part this year to keep them entertained but remember it’s not just about places to go and things to do. It’s about spending time together and making memories that will last a lifetime. They’ll never forget the Summer of 2020.

Thank you for writing.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Governor: Children Must Wear Masks In School, Gatherings Restricted

By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY – Face coverings will be required for all students inside a school building unless doing so would impact their health, Gov. Phil Murphy said.

Previously, it was only required to wear masks in situations where social distancing was not possible, such as hallways. It was only a strong suggestion to wear masks inside.

The reason for the change, Murphy said, is increasing numbers of positive cases and transmissions throughout the state.

The state had started to ease regulations when the numbers were coming down. For example, there was at one time a transmission rate of .87. That means that if someone got sick, they were transmitting it to fewer than one person on average. Now, that figure is up to 1.48.

Part of the problem is larger indoor gatherings, he said. He specifically cited two local incidents. One was a party where a few dozen lifeguards on Long Beach Island caught the disease. The other was a party in Jackson that held more than 700 people.

Therefore, he was “retightening” the restrictions on indoor gatherings. They will now be restricted to 25 percent of capacity or 25 persons.

However, there are some gatherings that can skirt this rule. Weddings, funerals, political and religious gatherings can have 25 percent of capacity but as much as 100 people.

He also said that he was glad that rental places like AirBnB removed some listings of party houses.

Another cause for the increases were restaurants who were claiming they were only doing outside dining but just having windows open in certain areas of the restaurant.

In order to see these restrictions lessened, there would need to be a drop in cases over the course of a week.

He said that the majority of people have been following the rules, but there are a few “knuckleheads” who think the rules don’t apply to them and they are causing the regulations to last longer than they normally would.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Freeholders Remind Residents: Return Your Census

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – With everything going on with the ongoing pandemic and other things related to rescheduled events that piece of mail tucked aside for later use may just have been forgotten.

Ocean County Freeholders however have issued a reminder however to not neglect the 2020 Cenus which is entering the home stretch.

Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari reminded everyone to please complete their census questionnaire because “an accurate Census count is incredibly important to Ocean County and will help determine the amount of federal and state aid that we receive for the next decade.”

Vicari said, “there are less than 100 days left and we ask that anyone who has not yet completed their Census forms to please do so.” The Census Bureau declared the week of July 27 thru August 2 as “Push Week,” in an effort to persuade Americans to complete the forms.

“We’re making a big push to remind residents to fill out their forms before Census workers begin visiting homes later in August. You can also submit your Census online at 2020CENSUS. GOV, by phone (844-330-2020), or by mail,” Vicari added.

Starting around Aug. 11, Census workers will begin visiting the homes of residents who have not submitted their forms but there is still time to complete the questions and ensure that a Census official will not knock on your door.

Those not having internet access or who need assistance can gain assistance at their local branch of the Ocean County Library which have laptops dedicated to the public for use in completing the Census. Trained staff are available for assistance, Vicari said.

Vicari urged residents to “contact your local branch library for more information.” Generally, Ocean County residents have done a good job in returning their Census forms and most Ocean County towns are close to or have exceeded their 2010 final self-response rates.

Ocean County overall has a 62.4% response rate as of July 22, which is slightly higher than the national response rate of 62.3%.

“There’s still a lot of room for improvement. We could lose millions of dollars in federal money if we don’t provide an accurate count,” Vicari added.

The Freeholder Director said the recent $106 million CARE Act for COVID-19 relief and Superstorm Sandy aid are examples of federal outlays that are least partially based on Census numbers.

Census data statewide, is used for the allocation of more than $45 billion in annual federal funding for services relating to health, education, housing infrastructure and other programs.

Vicari noted these programs are critical for the most vulnerable members of our communities, including young children, aging adults and people with disabilities and illnesses. “We are talking about $5,000 per New Jersey resident per year.”

Should the numbers statewide prove inaccurate, there’s a chance New Jersey could lose a Congressional seat, Vicari added.

Vicari also asked that residents who may spend the colder months in Florida or other southern states to please fill out the New Jersey Census form.

He said, “for our snowbirds I would ask them to fill out the forms for the state in which they spend the most time, which in most cases is New Jersey.”

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee

By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help.

However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides.

Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly.

“You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in

addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology.

After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting.

17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area.

While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch.

You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said.

“It’s good continuity of care.”

His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve.

That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist.

Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the offi ce,

“I’m surgically trained but I only like to per form surgery when all other conservative means have been exhausted.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 8 - aug 14

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Resist the temptation to gamble something you wouldn’t want to lose. You could trust your luck just when it’s at its lowest point in the upcoming week. However, an unexpected change to your income could be advantageous.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may need to tap your inner resources to deal with surprises and unpredictable people as this week unfolds. It could be that you resist authority or are faced with unintended consequences.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your assessment of people, ideas and situations could be impaired now. It may be difficult to make decisions if you are more focused on outer validation than inner satisfaction. Focus on being tolerant this week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Hurt feelings might show up in the upcoming week. A rift may be brewing with someone you considered a BFF, or you might disagree with people in your social circle. Focus on your financial expertise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Embrace a change of heart. There may be an opening to make major business changes, so go ahead with projects that have been simmering on the back burner. Be fair and open-minded when dealing with loved ones.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your efforts to be progressive and tolerant could meet with unexpected resistance. Maintain a low profile and avoid group activities and online interactions early in the week. Focus on making joint assets more secure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do not take pillow talk to heart. You may enjoy romantic encounters that exceed your expectations, but once you engage in the daily business of living and the week unfolds, it may be necessary to become more realistic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Making the impossible dream come true might be entirely possible if you play your cards right. Use your insight to gain recognition and parlay an idea into a moneymaking proposition as the week goes by.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Meet yourself in the middle. Your attitude toward money can switch from careful economies and savvy budgeting strategies to extravagant spending sprees in the week ahead. Focus on long-term growth.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Surrender to the present in the week ahead. It may be tempting to rehash old resentments or bring up past disputes, but you’ll be happier if you focus on what’s going on in the here and now. Listen to your instincts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Changes in plans are entirely possible as the week unfolds, but don’t let this rue your feathers. Things are likely to work out to your advantage in the long run. Follow your dreams and adapt to new ideas.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the week to come, it is in your best interests to determine which way the wind is blowing and then let it move you along. Your business sense is on the mark today, but you might overlook key details when making purchases.
