This machine prints out face shields for medical personnel. By Chris Lundy JOINT BASE – The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division stationed in Lakehurst is supplying face shields to a hospital ship that’s been serving a hotspot for COVID-19. The division is delivering 500 plastic face shields to the USNS Comfort which is stationed off New York City, according to base officials. The hospital ship was brought in to help New York City hospitals with the overflow of patients. The shields are being made with a

3-D printer, which literally creates physical objects one level at a time. “The battle against COVID-19 is a team effort, and I can’t thank our team enough for their hard work and dedication to getting the USNS Comfort the equipment they need for this fight,” said Kathleen Donnelly, NAWCAD Lakehurst executive director. “We are in this together, and will keep striving for solutions in providing PPE [Personal Protective Equipment] to our local community.”

They acquired 12 LulzBot TAZ Workhorses and a C02 laser cutter to enable a higher rate production of face shield material, Cobb said. The NAWCAD Lakehurst advanced manufacturing/prototype engineering team worked with the Naval Air (Naval Base - See Page 4)

Virus Might Impact Summer Events

By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – COVID-19 might impact next month’s Memorial Day Celebration which is held every year at Lake Horicon and sponsored by the Fleet Reserve. Last year, Councilman James Davis headed the Memorial Walk located at Lake Horicon where names of veterans from the borough are placed along the walk. “We received 100 plaques from the VFW. I am not sure if they are all our residents.” The governing body also addressed the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the noted the cancellation of the annual Fourth of July car show that is associated with the holiday fireworks program. The Independence Day celebration itself and fi reworks display have not been cancelled but if conditions warrant their cancellation, the borough may hold out for a larger fireworks display next year as part of the borough’s 100th anniversary, according to a recommendation made by Council President Steven Oglesby. Davis said the car show was definitely cancelled. This event is (Summer - See Page 4)

Food Banks Facing Challenges During Pandemic

By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – As the COVID-19 pandemic conditions continue, it is becoming more and more difficult for those who aid people with food insecurity to meet their goal. Fulfill, formerly The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties has keenly felt the need. A spokesperson for the agency said, “We have seen a significant increase in the demand for food, about 40% higher. In fact, in the past month, we have served 364,000 plus additional meals over last year.” These meals are on top of what Fulfill volunteers “were

already serving as a direct result of schools and businesses being closed and people losing their jobs,” said Fulfill CEO and President Kim Guadagno, the former Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey. Prior to the coronavirus crisis, Fulfill was feeding 136,000 people in Monmouth and Ocean Counties per year, 50,000 of them were children. Fulfill was moving one million pounds of food each month for families in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Fulfill has served more than 364,000 extra meals in the (Food Banks - See Page 7)

run by the borough’s Historical Society. “It has no sponsors and things that needed to be ordered had to have been ordered by now.” Borough Clerk Maryanne Capasso said after the meeting that “our 4th of July celebration is usually a bigger event. The borough starts with fi reworks on July 3, and ends with a parade and car show along Union Avenue on the July 4.” Mayor Robbins did not favor the idea of postponing Independent Day festivities and agreed with Councilman Oglesby’s idea of putting those funds toward a bigger celebration next year. Capasso said that while the borough had already signed a contract with the fi reworks company that they were willing to allow the borough to change its date given the current situation.

are site specific. If a business changes its address they have to reapply.” Councilman Gary Lowe discussed the borough’s OEM building located on Proving Ground Road. He said he wanted to see the borough engineer check the building’s foundation as there are some cracks due to settling. Lowe said he wants to make sure that they are not detrimental. The Council approved an ordinance that allows for the appropriation of money received for portable bathrooms into the budget as part of a recreation project. Councilman Robert McCarthy said that during the council’s next meeting Police Chief Matthew Kline would be making a presentation about a new initiative regarding the borough employee assistance program. McCarthy also noted that Chief Kline had noted an increase of cases involving domestic incidents. The council will also address the issue of additional portable radios for the fi re company according to McCarthy’s council report.

McCarthy the Lakehurst Police Association was partnering with local pizzerias to deliver pizza to families in need. “Check out the police Facebook page for details.” The local pizza delivery started on April 24. Those seeking information on the program can also contact Chief Kline at 732-657-7812, which is the non-emergency number. Sinton asked the council about the work that is being done on Poplar Street. That work is being done under the New Jersey Department of Transportation grant the borough received and involves repaving the road and meeting state codes for Americans with Disabilities Act standards. “Why is that work being redone,” she asked. Councilman Gary DiMeo explained that “they may look compliant but they weren’t. There is no way for a wheelchair to get to the curb line. There is too much of a drop.” The governing body opened their meeting with a moment of silence remembering those who have died as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

manufacturing methods. “It has been an extremely rewarding experience to leverage our industrial capabilities to respond to this global health crisis,” Cobb said. “I personally have many family members and friends who are military personnel, healthcare workers and first responders who are on the front line so I realize how important this effort is.” One issue they had to overcome is their own

social distancing in the lab when making the PPE. To do this, the Digital Engineering Division is setting up a remote monitoring system so team members can monitor the printing process via webcam from the safety of their homes. This might solve more than one problem, Cobb said. Being able to monitor construction remotely might lead to the team being

able to work on long metal builds and CT scans when creating naval aviation parts. The Department of Defense, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Food and Drug Administration alongside the medical community are working to coordinate the production (via 3D printing and standard manufacturing) of medical supplies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

was one piece of news discussed during the Council’s second conference call meeting. The Mayor and Council were reminded by Capasso, the clerk, that by utilizing the borough’s own website domain e-mail it would allow for council business e-mail to be applied to open public record act (OPRA) regulations. The council was reminded not to delete their e-mail or to use it in a manner not fitting with business use of the borough. Resident Dona Sinton brought up the subject when she asked about the borough bill list and questioned what Plant Technologies was. Capasso said that this fi rm was involved in updating the hardware for the borough and the transfer of Google mail “to a more appropriate system.” Sinton also asked the mayor and council about the liquor license transfer from Circle Landmark Inc., the former La Bove Grande, which was sold to Route 70 Liquor LLC. The person who holds Route 70 Liquor LLC is the owner of that building. Oglesby explained that “all liquor licenses

past month with its Crisis Relief Boxes and Restaurant Partnership Program. This food is in addition to the food Fulfill was already distributing. Currently, the demand for food has grown by 40% and Fulfi ll has served an additional 364,000 meals to people in need. “We expect the demand to grow as the unemployed run out of paychecks, incentives, and savings,” Guadagno said. Fulfi ll feeds children, seniors, veterans, and the working poor. Fulfi ll serves pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens, provides hot meals for children after school when schools were open, and sent food home for those same children over the weekend during the school year. “We now provide food to those children and their families at home through our partnerships. Fulfi ll also provides additional services to help our neighbors improve their overall situation,” Guadagno said. Fulfi ll assists with tax preparation, connecting people to SNAP (food stamps) benefits, and, before the pandemic, with job training in our culinary program. It is important to note that all non-food programs are currently on hold during the coronavirus crisis. How To Help Individuals, businesses, and organizations can support Fulfi ll’s efforts by donating at fulﬁllnj.org. Cash donations go

The Manchester Times, April 25, 2020, Page 7 a long way for food banks, because they can buy food at a significant discount. As to what the organization can use, they need donations of shelf stable milk, canned vegetables, canned meals (like ravioli, mac and cheese), oatmeal packets, and cereal. Guadagno said, “they can be dropped off at our Fulfi ll location at 3300 Route 66 in Neptune. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. We could also use monetary donations that will give us the flexibility to immediately meet the needs of our community at fulﬁllnj.org.” The organization’s staff have learned to adapt quickly to the COVID-19 crisis having learned safety precautions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We have strict social distancing in place, a nurse at the door to check temperatures, sanitizing procedures in place, and wearing masks and gloves in the food bank is mandatory,” she said. “Every person in the building has an affirmative obligation to call out any violations of our guidelines,” Guadagno added. Regarding volunteers at the agency’s Neptune headquarters, the restrictions in place with social distancing only allow 15 volunteers inside the room where workers put together crisis relief/food boxes at one time. “We have two shifts a day packing Crisis Relief Boxes six days per week to keep up with demand,” Guadagno said. Sadly, the agency has felt its own loss to the current coronavirus health emergency. Earlier this month, Guadagno announced

that “we lost a champion for the hungry, a dedicated colleague, and a dear friend. Diana Tennant, 51, of Bradley Beach, died on April 6, due to complications of COVID-19. Tennant began her time with Fulfi ll as a volunteer and donor, and then a SNAP advocate. She became an employee 12 years ago and worked as part of Fulfi ll’s Resources Connections team. Community food banks everywhere have seen the same kind of increase in need and decrease in donations that Fulfi ll has experienced. Lacey resident Laura Caroccia is the long-time coordinator of the Lacey Food Bank. She said, “we’re really up against it here in Lacey with more and more emergency cases than ever before.” She added there is “less and less basic foodstuffs available through Fulfi ll, who is also pressed to their limits.” Caroccia said she was grateful to local businesses and residents such as Jeff Ryan of Ryan’s ServiCenter based in the Lanoka Harbor section of Lacey. Ryan’s is helping support the Lacey Food Bank with its need for basic foods that it distributes each month to more than 150 families. “That’s nearly 700 people, Caroccia said adding that Ryan’s helped increase its pantry supply of staples by donating 72 cans of pasta sauce, 127 boxes of pasta and 16 cans of tuna. “We’re grateful for our supporters like the Ryans and Hunger Foundation of Southern Ocean. It’s really been a group

effort that’s getting us through this, Caroccia added. Joy Rende, the director of the Jackson Women of Today food pantr y which primarily serves Jackson but also aids those in Howell, Brick and Lakewood is adapting to COVID-19 conditions with modified hours and less volunteers. Rende said that despite the setbacks she was “amazed out the outpouring of concerns and help by the community. I receive at least five messages a day about giving money or food.” “Actually, I’m not surprised as there are people who always step up to the plate and we have been fortunate to be able to remain open,” Rende said. Rende noted that some church pantries have had to close. “Some have indefi nitely closed which is frightening to those who depend upon them in their communities.” She added that normally her volunteer staff ranges from 22 to 25 “but now we have seven to 10 volunteers and six are members of my family. We’ve also had to modify our hours but this was done so we could decrease exposure to the virus.” Rende said her organization assists 100 plus families each month. “We also changed some of our process. Before this we had a form that they would check off of items in our pantry but now we have no choice but to provide them what we have. We do try to rotate it so they get something different each month.” “We’re trying to provide items that will stretch out on their shelves like pancake mix, cereal and syrup, Rende said.

Principal Spoofs ‘Fresh Prince’ Theme To Give Message Of Hope

By Bob Vosseller BARNEGAT – Now, this is a story all about how a song got flipped - turned upside down. She wrote a song, put it on the net and that’s how she became the fresh principal of Barnegat. Russell O. Brackman Middle School Principal Shannon Smith is a big fan of actor/ musican Will Smith and decided to bring

some creativity to her school with a little inspiration from her favorite celebrity. “With so many students adjusting to virtual learning, Smith, along with help from school staff brought some virtual fun in the form of a music video that modified the theme of the more well-known Smith’s classic situation comedy of the 1990s. Will Smith more or less played himself

in the NBC sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” which ran from 1990 to 1996. As the show’s popular theme song explains, fictional Will’s mom sends him away from his rough Philadelphia neighborhood to live with wealthy Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian in Bel-Air. The performer often had fun at the expense of his stuck-up cousins Carlton and Hilary.

Principal Smith knew her staff and students had a little bit of anxiety about the week to come and the implementation of the homebound instruction. “I have three daughters of my own and I was up until 1 a.m. and decided I’d do a music video, a rap that would be positive. I knew parents would remember Fresh Prince of Bel-Air even if our students wouldn’t.” Smith said by 1:58 a.m. on March 15, she had completed the lyrics and she then e-mailed them off at 2 a.m. to Erich Wald the school’s chorus teacher for review. She knew that the next day, a staff meeting would be held to prepare students for their new online learning adventure. “All my teachers were so stressed out about this so I said we’re going to do a video.” Smith recorded the song singing the lyrics to perfectly match up with the theme music to provide her message of hope adding a little fun to the current, ongoing situation of home education. Wald said Smith used his class recording studio and “really rocked it. The staff didn’t know exactly what she was videoing in the auditorium that was filled with 75 of us but they knew she was doing something fun. Wald provided her the audio dub and Smith edited the video herself and the result is now history. “We’ve had more than 37,000 views on YouTube and were featured on Channel 6 ABC News. It’s been fantastic,” Smith said. The principal commented that she felt there was a need to lighten the mood and let her students know their teachers are there to help them adjust to this new method of learning and to cope with facets of their home confinement due to the COVID-19 restrictions to halt the spreading of the virus. “I loved ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ and have always been a Will Smith fan! It would be pretty awesome if he saw this video. Maybe we can do a little remix at Brackman’s next pep rally,” she said. Smith’s husband is a high school teacher and they have three daughters, ages 7, 4 and 1 ½. “This way of teaching and learning is a first for us. Many of our teachers utilize Google classroom in their everyday instruction, however I have been blown away by how amazing our staff and students have been... across the district our staff immediately (Message - See Page 21)

County Parks Hosting Facebook Live Educational Programs

By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – The Department of Parks and Recreation will be hosting Facebook Live educational programs every Wednesday and Friday at 11 a.m. These programs started on March 20 with “Box Turtle Talk.” A different program will be featured each time. The programs will be broadcasted on the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreations Facebook page, facebook.com/OceanCountyParks. “Because of state and county emergency declarations concerning the coronavirus outbreak, we had to make the difficult decision to close our nature centers to the public just as we have had to place restrictions on our other government buildings,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as chairwoman of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. “But with social media and our creative parks department staff, we will now be bringing some of our programs to you at home.” Due to the state and county coronavirus outbreak emergency declarations, visitor and nature centers at Jake’s Branch County Park in Beachwood, Cattus Island County Park in Toms River, Wells Mills County

Park in Ocean Township, and Cloverdale Farms County Park and Cedar Bridge Tavern in Barnegat Township have been closed to the public. “When we closed our nature centers and park buildings to the public we had to cancel children’s programs, exercise, yoga and wellness programs, nature and outdoor events, weekend “drop-in” walks and feedings, van trips and hikes until further notice,” Haines said. “Hundreds of visitors come to our nature centers daily and we knew keeping them open to the public would not help curtail the spread of coronavirus.” “Our parks are open to the public but we are strongly encouraging social distancing if you do visit them and no large groups as determined by the state and health experts in order to curtail the spread of the coronavirus,” she said. “I know the Facebook live programs will help county residents of all ages enjoy some time with nature without having to go out.” “We encourage everyone to join us at this time,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “It’s important we all adapt to the current situation and I assure you Ocean County Government is doing all it can to help the public and our staff.”

Officials: Stop Tossing Gloves, Masks On The Ground

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – While people are wearing gloves and masks to protect themselves, they are tossing them out on the ground, hurting the environment and anyone who has to pick them up, officials said. State regulations require people to wear masks in public to slow the spread of COVID-19. However, people are not safely disposing of these items. “On a recent trip to the supermarket I was stunned by the number of used plastic gloves in the parking lot,” Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said. “This cannot continue.” The Freeholders issued a statement about how the used protective equipment can pose a threat to whoever has to clean up after these people. “Nobody wants to be picking up used gloves,” he said. “Fortunately, there are easy ways to dispose of the gloves properly.” Vicari suggested people bring plastic bags with them while out shopping or visiting other destinations. “Carefully remove the gloves after use and place them in the plastic bag for disposal

once you get home,” he said. “For an extra precaution, use hand sanitizer after handling the gloves and the bags.” Vicari also asked grocery stores and other essential businesses that are open to place additional trash cans in their parking lots for disposal of gloves and masks. “The easier it is to throw away used gloves, the less likely people will be to simply toss them on the ground,” Vicari said. Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Health Department, agreed. “It doesn’t take much time or effort to remove the gloves and throw them in a trash can,” he said. Little said the problem isn’t limited to shopping centers. He’s also seen them on sidewalks and in the gutters. If rubber gloves get into the sewer systems, they can damage them with blockages, he said. Additionally, they can pose a danger to the environment. “Gloves can wash into storm drains and block them up,” Vicari said. “They can also wash into lakes, rivers and the bay causing environmental hazards.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE County Agencies and Groups Band Together To Aid Seniors With Food Supplies

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Seniors in the county can receive a helping hand with their food shopping needs through a state, county and municipal community organizations partnership that have banded together to assist. “Unfortunately, our seniors are some of the most vulnerable when it comes to exposure to the coronavirus,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said. Vicari serves as chairman of the Ocean County Office of Senior Services. “As this pandemic moves into weeks, our seniors are fearful of heading to supermarkets. While many major food stores have set aside hours for our seniors to shop, panic shopping has left many store shelves empty requiring this susceptible population to venture out several times a week for much needed food and supplies,” Vicari said. As a way to help elderly residents obtain food into their households without them

having to leave their homes, the Ocean County Office of Senior Services has teamed up with the state, several municipal senior centers and other agencies to provide an answer to this problem. Vicari said, “we are announcing a new program that will help seniors with their food shopping needs. The program is open to all residents of Ocean County age 60 and older through this unique collaboration between the state, county, municipalities and non-profit agencies.” “We know many of our seniors can rely on family and neighbors to help with this,” Vicari said. “But sadly, many don’t have that option. We want our seniors to be able to ‘stay home’ as mandated by Gov. Murphy and President Trump in order to protect their health and keep them safe during this health crises we are all experiencing,” Vicari added.

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

The majority of you reading this column either wear hearing aids or know someone who does. By the time this column goes to print, there could be over 10,000 cases of the COVID-19 virus in New Jersey. All of us really need to practice social distancing and just stay home. The peak of COVID-19 cases may not occur for several weeks and this “invisible enemy” can attack all ages, although our senior population is significantly at risk. According to a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can live in the air and on surfaces between several hours and several days. The study found that the virus is viable for up to 72 hours on plastics, 48 hours on stainless steel, 24 hours on cardboard, and 4 hours on copper. It is also detectable in the air for three hours. I’ve been an Audiologist for over 30 years and I’ve never experienced anything like this. However, my staff and I are here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and can’t communicate with their loved ones because they’re hearing aid stopped working. In these times of social isolation, it’s imperative that we communicate with our loved ones. We need that connection for psychosocial and cognitive reasons. So... what are the steps you can take if your hearing aid just stopped working? • Replace the battery and wait at least three minutes before you close the battery door. If you have a rechargeable hearing aid, make sure the charger is plugged in and the lights are blinking green. Some chargers need to be reset and that button is usually on the underside of the charger. • If you are wearing a hearing aid that has a dome that inserts into your ear, replace that dome and remove the white filter inside the receiver. If you have replacement filters, replace the old filter. If you don’t know how to replace the filter, take a “pin” and carefully pop off the filter. Hearing aids can function without a filter. If you don’t have extra domes, remove the dome and clean it with soap

and warm water, let it dry and put the dome back on the receiver. • Always use a soft dry toothbrush to clean the dome every day. If you’re wearing a custom hearing aid (only goes into the ear…nothing behind the ear), you should be cleaning the “white” filter daily and if the hearing aid is not working, remove the filter. Again, if you have replacement filters, replace the old one. If you don’t, leave the filter out. • If you’re wearing a traditional BTE (behind-theear) hearing aid with an earmold, it is more than likely that your “tubing” is blocked with wax. In many cases, the tubing needs to be replaced. This creates a big problem since 99% of our offices are closed. In the short term, I would remove the tubing from the “ear hook” of the hearing aid, and run very warm water through the tubing or even hydrogen peroxide. In addition, if you have a “pipe cleaner” run this wire completely through the ear mold. Please let everything dry out before putting the tubing back on the BTE ear hook. • If you have hearing aids that are connected to an APP on your smart phone, remember the hearing aids are still operational whether you lose connection with your APP. Your hearing healthcare provider can provide you with technical support phone numbers from all of the major hearing aid manufacturers. They will help you reconnect your hearing instruments to your APP. Hopefully these trouble shooting steps will be helpful in rectifying your hearing aid issue. If not, contact your hearing healthcare professional and leave them a message. In my practice, we are checking messages on a daily basis and returning calls. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to directly email me at ikirsh@ gardenstatehearing.com or 732-818-3610. Please stay healthy, stay home, practice social distancing and I promise you there will be a bright light at the end of the tunnel. All the Best! Dr. Izzy

Snatiation And 7 Facts About Sneezing

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

If you’re out somewhere getting groceries for example, don’t sneeze. If you do, you might be taking your life into your hands. That happened to me last month when I sneezed in the parking lot at Safeway (into my arm), and then heard myself explaining to the stranger eyeing me like she wanted to strangle me, “Hey don’t worry, I’m not sick! I have snatiation!” She rolled her eyes. I realized she had no idea what I was talking about and probably thought I was being sarcastic to her. I just learned about snatiation a few years ago, but I’ve had it all my life. When my kids were teens, they would tease me and count out loud how many times I sneezed uncontrollably during a fit! I think my record was 22 in a row. Ah-choo! Over and over. If in public, I’d feel a sneeze coming on and race to the bathroom to sneeze in private, in a tissue of course. And wash my hands. For years, I didn’t know what to call this problem. I thought I was allergic to something in my food. Then one day I read an article about a genetic polymorphism that described a condition called “snatiation.” It’s a play on the words “satiation” and “sneeze.” Holy moly, it described me to a T. Snatiation is totally controllable, at least for me. If I don’t stuff myself, I hardly ever sneeze. Do you have snatiation too? Perhaps in years past for me as a young girl, snatiation was just a funny quirk I had to deal with! But today, if that were to happen to me (in public), I’d probably get shot!

Sneezing is triggered by many situations including epileptic disorders, a response to bright lights, spicy foods or dust and pollen. It often goes hand in hand with a runny nose. Aside from a cough, sneezing is the most apparent symptom of a cold, flu and as of late, COVID-19. Facts About Sneezing 1. Most people need to close their eyes when sneezing. 2. Sneezes travel far, much farther than we thought, around 90 miles per hour. 3. The sound of your sneeze is based upon your anatomy. 4. Once a sneeze starts, it’s impossible to stop. 5. The medical term for sneezing is sternutation. 6. The phrase “God bless you” has something to do with bubonic plague. Let’s vow to sneeze politely from now on, especially because of the circumstances with the coronavirus! If you are mindful and polite, you could literally spare someone from catching a life-threatening disease. So sneeze into the crook of your elbow, or down into your scarf or shirt, or into a tissue. Wear your masks. Don’t blow your germs all over the place, it’s not only dangerous, it’s rude. If infectious (and please be mindful that you might be asymptomatic), your sneeze could be expelling a virus or bacteria up to 25 or 30 feet away from you. The mucus and saliva that you spew could hurt someone these days in a very serious way.

For example, if the claimant worked a 40-hour week, the claimant won’t be able to get benefits if the claimant worked more than 32 hours. If the claimant’s employer offers additional hours that the claimant chooses not to accept, the claimant’s benefits may be affected. In addition New Jersey has a weekly benefit capped rate based on the state minimum wage. For 2020, the maximum weekly benefit rate is $713. Partial Unemployment and Covered Individuals Under the CARES ACT The individual must self-certify that he or she is otherwise able to work and available for work within the meaning of applicable state law except that the individual is unemployed, partially unemployed, or unable or unavailable to work for one of the following reasons: • He or she is diagnosed with COVID-19; • He or she has symptoms of COVID-19 and is in the process of seeking a medical diagnosis; • A household member has COVID-19; He or she is providing care to a household member with COVID-19; • A child or other person in the household for which the individual is the primary caregiver is unable to attend school or daycare due to COVID-19; The individual is unable to reach work due to a quarantine; • The individual is unable to attend work because a healthcare professional advised him or her to self-quarantine; • The individual is scheduled to commence employment and does not have a job or is unable

Individuals who are able to telework with pay or who are receiving sick leave or other paid leave benefits are not eligible. Pandemic Unemployment Assistance – Up to 39 Weeks of COVID-19 Related Unemployment Compensation Benefits If an individual is unavailable to work due to COVID-19 related reasons (e.g., COVID-19 diagnosis, exposure, symptoms, or self-quarantine), they may be eligible for up to 39 weeks of unemployment compensation even though they are not available for work. To be eligible for this benefit, individuals must self-certify that they meet one of the criteria for unavailability to work for COVID-19 related reasons. Benefits are available under this program from January 27, 2020 until December 31, 2020, so long as the unemployment, partial unemployment, or inability to work caused by COVID-19 continues and does not exceed 39 weeks. The benefit available under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance is the weekly benefit amount authorized under the unemployment compensation law of the State where the covered individual was employed, plus the amount of Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation ($600).

−Photo by Chris Lundy First responders take care of their own as a forest fire vehicle is cleaned. By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A decontamination site for emergency vehicles has been established off the Garden State Parkway in Berkeley Township, officials said. The site, created as part of a partnership between the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office and the Ocean County Police Chiefs Association, has already serviced hundreds of vehicles, said Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy.

“The site is set up for any police, fire or first aid vehicle in the county, especially those that have transported someone suspected of having the coronavirus,” he said. He noted that people have been thinking that it’s a testing site for COVID-19, and have to be turned away. The COVID-19 site is open at Ocean County College. “This site is only to disinfect emergency (Vehicles - See Page 21)

It has also been used on the belts and shoes of some of the emergency responders. “It’s important we keep our emergency responders – all of our police, first aid and fire personnel – safe during the coronavirus outbreak,” Mastronardy said. “Along with all of our health care professionals, emergency responders are heavily relied upon by our

Our students and staff have worked so hard preparing for these upcoming events. My heart breaks for them. Whenever school resumes, we are going to work very hard at making these events happen for our students.” Superintendent Brian Latwis said, “Shannon has tremendous energy and passion. Her upbeat personality really sets the tone for her building. When I first saw the video, I was not surprised - although that may have been new to everyone who is watching the video, it was fairly typical from such a talented and caring member of our team.” The video can be viewed at YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=ejQZ_1pM73c and onTwitter: MrsSmithROBMS.

residents. We need to do all we can to keep them safe.” Additional locations are expected to open soon. One will likely be in Brick, run by the Brick Township Office of Emergency Management and another would be in Jackson, run by the Jackson Township Police Department. The Sheriff’s Office worked with Stafford Township Police Chief Thomas Dellane in establishing the site in Berkeley Township and is working with Jackson Township Police Chief Matt Kunz and Brick Township Police Chief James Riccio on those respective sites. “I appreciate the efforts of all of our police chiefs and all of our emergency responders,” Mastronardy said. “These partnerships go a long way in making certain we have what we need to keep our responders safe and to assist our residents.”

Water Company: Don’t Flush Wipes

$90 For Initial Cleaning, Exam & 2 BW X-Rays NEW PATIENT WELCOME SPECIAL

By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – Even “flushable” wipes are not flushable, one local water company warned. Sending those into your pipes can cause undue harm. While everyone is using sanitary wipes at a record clip these days, New Jersey American Water put out a message reminding people that these wipes are not to be used in the toilet. They can lead to sewer back-ups and in-home plumbing issues that can be expensive and very inconvenient. This includes wipes labeled “flushable” and “biodegradable.” “Many sewer blockages occur between your house and our sewer main in the street, where the property owner is responsible for correcting and paying for the repair,” said Manoj Patel, senior manager of Production for New Jersey American Water’s Statewide Sewer. “During this already stressful time, we want to help our customers avoid blockages that could create costly plumbing emergencies.” Patel added that improper disposal can also cause problems in the local sewer collection system and treatment plants. “Your dedicated local wastewater system employees continue to come to work every day and make sure your community’s sewage is being properly treated,” he continued. “We provide an essential service, so please help us out by putting wipes, paper towels and other products in the trash where they belong, not in your sewer system where they can damage our equipment and cause blockages. Wet wipes combined with fat,

grease and other solids deposited in the sewer main creates a huge clog, a condition known as a fatberg. Fatbergs are very difficult to remove and cause damage to the pipes requiring costly repairs.” Indeed, a “fatberg” measuring some 130 tons was excavated from the sewers below London recently, a product of “flushable” wipes merged with fat dumped down drains. Therefore, people shouldn’t pour grease, fat or oil down the drain, either, the water company said. Over time, this grease buildup restricts the flow of wastewater, leading to sewage back-ups or overflows. From there, it can even seep into the environment. In order to properly care for your pipes, homeowners should: Allow grease to cool and use a rubber scraper to remove the fat, oil and grease from cookware, plates, utensils and cooking surfaces. Then place the grease in a sealed container and dispose of it in the trash. Install baskets/strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and empty them into the trash. Keep in mind, garbage disposals do not prevent grease from washing down the drain. Also, detergents that claim to dissolve grease may pass it down the line and cause problems in other parts of the wastewater system. New Jersey American services these towns: Bay Head, Brick, Toms River, Howell, Lakewood, Lavallette Borough, Mantoloking, and Plumsted. For more information, visit newjerseyamwater.com.

Omarrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Astrological Forecast For the week of APR 25 - may 1

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might end up feeling fooled if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attracted only by someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alluring appearance. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to pay your bills on time to avoid penalties and negative marks on your credit score in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your suspicions might not be groundless, but this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the right time to call someone out. Keep your nose to the grindstone in the upcoming week and focus on honoring your duties and obligations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your head may be in the clouds as your imagination soars, but some people may expect you to take things more seriously. Be responsible in the week ahead and take care of things that matter in the real world. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Being kindhearted and diligent may only go so far to protect you; be sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re checking all the boxes. A loved one could be difficult to deal with in the early part of the week, but you can remain understanding and avoid a confrontation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel restrained by circumstances beyond your control as the week begins. You may be so focused on dealing with what may be wrong that you might not be able to appreciate whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your inner critic might be amped up in the week ahead and find fault with things and people. You may justify this by saying that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re simply insisting on excellence, but you may be too exacting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Flattery is nice if you are the recipient, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee that the flatterer is trustworthy. You might be swayed by someone who butters you up with compliments or gifts in the upcoming week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Temptation is something to avoid in the week to come. Any impulsive decisions or actions might backfire in a very unpleasant way. Be forgiving if a loved one isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as cooperative and loving as usual. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might feel there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to go around, and your wallet may feel the pinch. The desire for material success could provoke you to take unnecessary risks or make poor decisions in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your decisions about things in life and at work may be affected. As this week unfolds, avoid making changes, new starts or key decisions, because what appears to be the right direction could lead to a dead end. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might feel that people expect you to do all the hard work as the first part of the week passes by. Since you may feel unappreciated, your mood might not be as cheerful as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like. Avoid taking out frustrations on someone else. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Consider putting the pursuit of your dreams on hold until the second part of the week. It may be wise to put a new project on hold or pass up a chance to make a major purchase. Some people might be less cooperative than usual.
