Clients currently use a drive-up system where they pop their trunks and volunteers load their car with basic pantry groceries, eggs, butter, cheese and some proteins. 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 FoodBa n k of Mon mout h a nd 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.

Barnegat Adopts $27.9M Budget
By Chris Lundy BARNEGAT – The Township Committee adopted a $27 million budget at its most recent meeting, and it includes an average tax increase of about $24. The total budget is $27,905,152. This is an increase of $1,311,791 over last year’s $26,593,361. The amount to be raised in taxes will be $22,857,004. This is an increase of $865,282 from last year’s $21,991,721. The difference between the total budget and the amount to be raised in taxes has to do with revenue. The amount to be raised in taxes includes all of the taxes paid by property owners in town. The total budget includes the

Schools Closed Until At Least May 15
By Chris Lundy TRENTON – During one of Gov. Phil Murphy’s daily updates on COVID-19, he said schools will be closed through at least May 15. With districts getting out of school for summer only one month later, it lent credibility to the thought that schools may be closed for the rest of the year. Many local schools have the last week
of school June 15-19, with Toms River getting out a week early because they gave up spring break. Ocean County College had already closed for the rest of the semester. “Let me be perfectly clear: There is nobody who wants to open the schools more than I do,” Murphy said. However, officials have to follow the advice of medical professionals who have said that it is not yet safe to open them.
Meanwhile, it is expected that businesses are to remain closed at least that long. The governor’s executive orders have canceled gatherings of more than 10 people, and shuttered non-essential businesses. The idea behind social distancing recommendations is to “flatten the curve.” This means to slow the spread of the virus so that hospitals don’t get overwhelmed.

Food Banks: Continued From Page 1
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 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 Fulfill 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. Fulfill feeds children, seniors, veterans, and the working poor. Fulfill 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. Fulfill also provides additional services to help our neighbors improve their overall situation,” Guadagno said. Fulfill 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 Fulfill’s efforts by donating at fulfillnj.org. Cash donations go 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 Fulfill 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 Fulfill as a volunteer and donor, and then a SNAP advocate. She became an employee 12 years ago and worked as part of Fulfill’s Resources Connections team. Community food banks everywhere have seen the same kind of increase in need and decrease in donations that Fulfill has experienced. Lacey resident Laura Caroccia is the longtime 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 Fulfill, 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 pantry 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 indefinitely 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.

Budget:
Continued From Page 1 taxes, and it also includes grants, fees and other revenue. For example, the budget includes a $325,000 grant from the State Department of Transportation for work on Pine Oak Boulevard, township Chief Financial Officer Thomas Lombarski said. That money is not coming from taxpayers. The tax rate will go up a little over 1 percent, from 92.2 to 93.2 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. In other words, the more your house is assessed, the more you will pay in taxes. Last year, the average tax bill was $2,212.45. This year, it will increase by $24
The Southern Ocean Times, April 25, 2020, Page 7 to $2,236.45. This is based on a homeowner with the average property assessment of $239,962. The township’s bond rating improved at the end of last year, which is a sign of strong fiscal responsibility, Lombarski said. Standard & Poor’s is an independent company that improved the township’s score from AA- to AA. Bond ratings are like credit scores, but for a town. The better the score, the lower the interest rate the town has to pay when it borrows money. The bond rating goes up if the town’s finances are in good shape. These figures are just the municipal portion of the taxes. It does not include taxes for the county, the school district, or any other taxing entity.

BLOODY SPOT IN THE EYE
It can be quite disconcerting to look in the mirror and discover that you have a spot of blood under the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that covers the surface of your eye. Called a “subconjunctival hemorrhage,” the condition can occur without you knowing it, following a forceful cough, sneeze, or straining effort. The conjunctiva contains tiny blood vessels that can break (or leak) after sudden increases in pressure. In these cases, the redness usually clears up within a week or two as the blood is reabsorbed. However, if pain or any change in vision is experienced, the ophthalmologist should be consulted. Subconjunctival hemorrhaging is also related to “diabetic retinopathy,” which should not be allowed to go untreated. Despite its bloody appearance, a subconjunctival hemorrhage should cause no change in your vision, no discharge from your eye, and no pain. Your only discomfort may be a scratchy feeling on the surface of your eye. SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES is dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care. To schedule an appointment, please call our office at 732-349-5622. Our doctors take the time to listen to and answer your questions so that you can make the best choices to fit your unique needs and lifestyle.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE 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.”

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-the-ear) 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.

Water Company: Don’t Flush Wipes 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.

Inside The Law Partial Unemployment Cares Act
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq., and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates IF YOU HAVE HAD YOUR WORK REDUCED AS A RESULT OF THE CORONAVIRUS YOU ARE ENTITLED TO COLLECT PARTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. PLEASE SEE THE GUIDELINES BELOW TO HELP YOU COLLECT BENEFITS CREATED BY THE CARES ACT. New Jersey Partial Unemployment Insurance Benefits And How They Are Calculated To be eligible for partial benefits, a claimant cannot work more than 80 percent of the hours normally worked in the job. 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
to reach the job as a direct Christopher R. Shea Esq. result of COVID-19; • The individual is the sole wage earner in his or her household due to death of the head of household as a result of COVID-19; • The individual was required to quit his or her job as a result of COVID-19; • The individual’s place of employment closed due to COVID-19; and • The individual is self-employed, is seeking part-time employment, does not have sufficient work history, or otherwise would not qualify for unemployment benefits under another state unemployment program. 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).

Omarr’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 you’re attracted only by someone’s or something’s alluring appearance. Don’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 isn’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 you’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 what’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 you’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 doesn’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 isn’t as cooperative and loving as usual. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might feel there isn’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 you’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.
