─Photo by Judy Smestad-Nunn John J. Mirabella has been organizing daily patriotic singing in his community. By Judy Smestad-Nunn LAK EWOOD - A patriotic Army veteran has a plan to bring his neighbors together and to see each other once a day in their adult community during this period of quarantine by coming out of their homes every day at 5:30 p.m. and singing “God
Bless America.” John J. Mirabella, 75, spent 313 days in Vietnam in 1966-1967 after being drafted. He lived in Essex and Sussex counties before moving to Four Seasons in Lakewood 13 years ago. He said that he plans on singing the song
until the coronavirus ends. Mirabella got the message out via email, social media, and a robo-call made to the residents through their management office for his “United We Sing” idea, and pockets of up to a dozen residents in his community can be
seen outside singing the song every evening. “A lot of people here live alone, and this helps them because they can see and talk to each other while maintaining a distance,” Mirabella said. He said he also sings “God Bless America” (Vet - See Page 4)

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - Starting around mid-March, before supermarkets implemented safety precautions to protect employees and customers from the coronavirus, the stores were “insane,” said Debbie Smith,* who works as a cashier in one of the big grocery stores in town. “It was tough and scary, and even before the pandemic, a lot of customers don’t treat us like we’re human beings,” she said. “They can be very mean.” As the coronavirus spread and people became concerned, Smith said customers became aggressive. “It was crazy, crazy busy. Customers were almost getting into fist fights, they were cutting the line, people acted like animals, (Grocery - See Page 4)
Governor Outlines Six Point Road Map To Reopening State
By Bob Vosseller TRENTON – Ensuring resiliency, a responsible economic restart, securing safe places for isolation, expanded testing, sustained reduction in new cases and implementing robust contact tracing were all part of the governor’s six-point road map to reopening New Jersey. During his April 27 press conference, Gov. Phil Murphy spoke about steps that would be taken within the next five weeks to gradually reopen the Garden State. “We have a great confidence that social (Governor - See Page 6)

Continued From Page 1 to his flag in the mornings when he wakes up. “I like to sing, but people don’t like to hear me,” he joked. “My cat runs away.” Mirabella is a combat veteran of Vietnam and a Purple Heart recipient who walks with a cane due to a bullet wound he sustained in combat that shattered the neck of his femur. The bone never set properly, he said. “I’m very patriotic,” he said. “This country needs something to bring us together. This song is about pride and appreciation, and it came close to becoming our national anthem.” There are a lot of veterans in Four Seasons, and in all of the adult communities in Ocean County. Mirabella has served as a hospice volunteer and as a chairperson for their We Honor Veterans Program since 2013. According to the hospice website, We Honor Veterans is designed to empower hospice professionals to meet the unique needs of dying veterans. After taking a one-week course, the volunteer is taught respectful inquiry, compassionate listening, and grateful acknowledgement to comfort patients with a history of military and possibly physical or physiological trauma. Mirabella works as a volunteer with VNA Hospice on Hooper Avenue, and has been with over 200 veterans in hospice, averaging 10-12 hours a week. “I introduce myself, we have a little cere-

it was madness,” she said. “We were trying to get people out of the store as fast as we could,” Smith said. She added that she had always had concerns about working with and handling money because of all the germs, and for this reason, supermarkets usually provide hand sanitizer pumps at all the registers. At the beginning of the public health crisis, the management at her supermarket told the employees if they didn’t feel safe they could use 14 vacation days, but they would not be eligible for unemployment. She added a lot of employees took the deal, including Smith, who took the time off because she has at-risk family members at home. “I walked into the store one day, and I couldn’t believe how long the check-out lines were. There was no separating yet, and I couldn’t do it, so I took the two weeks,” she said. Smith is the only one in her family who is working right now since other family members are “non-essential” workers. When she returned to work at the beginning of April, new safety measures had been put into place. The store provided face masks and gloves to their employees, and the cashiers and customers were separated by newly-installed plexiglass barriers. Because of new “social-distancing”
mony, and we talk about whatever they want to talk about,” he said. The program is on hold right now during the quarantine, Mirabella added. “Veterans are forgotten,” Mirabella said. He gets a lot of satisfaction from interacting with the hospice patients and giving their caregiver a break, he said. “The first time I went to see one of the veterans, who was in his 90s, his wife said that he really doesn’t talk much,” Mirabella recalled. Mirabella added, “I suggested that we look at pictures together, and his wife got them out. Afterwards she said that was the most he had talked in a long time.” He said that being veterans creates an immediate bond. “When I retired, I thought, what value do I have? Some people make it all about themselves,” he said. “I have enough time for myself.” Four Seasons resident Dorothy Rohland said she comes out and sings every night with Mirabella. “It makes me feel like I’m doing something meaningful,” she said. “It’s good for me. I love our country and I have faith in it.” Neighbor Francine Greenberg said she is patriotic and singing the song is her way of paying her respects to Mirabella. “John is very loyal to veterans, and it’s very important to treat the government well, especially our wounded veterans,” she said. “He goes out of his way to help people.” Mirabella was awarded “Patriot of the Year” by the Military Order of the Purple Heart for the State of New Jersey in 20172018. rules, customers have to stay six feet apart from each other at the registers, and only 50 percent of the store’s capacity for people are allowed in at any given time. Now customers are also required to wear a facial covering in the store. She said when a customer coughs while they’re on line, everyone gives them “that crazy look,” even though not everyone who coughs has the virus. “My managers are doing the best they can. I give them a lot of credit,” Smith said. Due to the new rules, business has slowed down, but now a lot of customers say they come to the supermarket because they’re bored, Smith said. “You shouldn’t come to the store because you’re bored! We’re all bored! Come and get what you need and go home,” she said. “If you stay home, this thing will go away,” Smith said. Smith said she earns $2 more an hour in what she calls hazardous pay. In the beginning of the pandemic, she said the employees were “totally overworked,” but now shifts are back to eight hours because management is trying to avoid paying overtime. “Even now, when I have to go to the grocery store, I thank my cashier,” she said. “We are getting more recognition now, and I appreciate that. We just have to stick together,” Smith said. *The name Debbie Smith is being used to hide the subject’s true identity.

distancing and other norms will help this,” the Governor said, adding that schools won’t be opening any time soon. “As we look at the cu r ve of new COVID-19 cases, it remains f lat, but as we will discuss in a few moments, before we can get ourselves on the road to recovery, we need this curve to bend down and stay down,” Murphy said. Recently, the number of people being admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 is lower than the number of people being released from the hospital, cured of COVID-19, he said. “This data, which we receive and report every day, is the measuring stick of our progress against COVID-19,” Gov. Murphy added. “Our progress to date has been driven by the hard work of tens of thousands of dedicated health care professionals and first responders.” Discussing his vision to put the state on the road to recovery he prefaced, “there is still much work to be done. If we let up even one bit with our aggressive social distancing measures too soon – even one day too soon – we can easily see ourselves skidding off this road.” Gov. Murphy stressed, “public health creates economic health. That’s the order in which we must proceed. It means that before we reopen non-essential stores and businesses, before we can
reopen our parks, or before we allow in-person dining in ou r restau rants – among any host of other activities – people need to know, first and foremost, that their health will be safeguarded from COVID-19. “With that principle as our starting point, we can put ourselves on The Road Back – with a clear vision for moving forward, and guided by objective metrics and mileposts we must meet to move forward. The Road Back is driven by data, science, health progress, and common sense. We will use rigorous standards that are equally smart and thoughtful,” he added. “This road map is designed with one goal only – to restore the health, strength, and well-being of New Jersey for the long-term. Until we give the public confidence that they should not be fearful, we cannot take further steps. A plan that is needlessly rushed is a plan that will needlessly fail,” Murphy said adding that he will wait until May 15 to announce whether schools will reopen during the current school year. The governor mentioned his conversation with Linda Goler Blount, President and CEO of the Black Women’s Health Imperative. “We know from the data that COVID-19 has had an outsized impact on our communities of color. So, we must not only ensure that these communities can thrive again, our system must ensure equity as we get to that point. (Governor - See Page 7)

Continued From Page 6 “COVID-19 did not create the inequalities in our society. But, it laid them bare. So, this is also our opportunity to help close those gaps,” Gov. Murphy added. The gover nor noted that recover y wasn’t just about New Jersey. “For us to rush ahead of either Pennsylvania or New York, or any of our other four state partners – or vice versa – would risk returning our entire region back into lockdown mode. “This doesn’t mean that we will, or even can, take every step at the exact same time, or in the exact same way, as our neighbors but, we will share information and make decisions based on the guidance of our public health and security experts, and with an eye on our north star, which is to protect lives across our seven states and across our nation,” he said. The governor said that when the state has accomplished the “six principles that will keep New Jersey on the road back - using renewed public health to create renewed economic health; following trends of sustained reductions in new COVID-19 cases and other key metrics ref lecting a decreasing burden of disease; expanding testing capacity and speeding-up the return of results; robust contact tracing; and ensuring safe places where those positively diagnosed in the future can isolate - we can move to principle number five, responsibly restarting our economy to restore our economic health and, to secure our future, we move to principle number six – ensuring our resiliency.” The Stay-at-Home Order which has been in effect since March 21, will remain in effect in its entirety until further notice. “For us to move out from underneath this order, we will need to see, at the least, a sustained reduction in the number of new positive COVID-19 test results, new COVID-19 related hospitalizations, and other metrics. We also will need to see our hospitals step down from functioning under a crisis standard of care,” he said. “We will need to look across a length of time, and to not be distracted by statistical noise. We need to ensure we have a robust and fully functioning healthcare system ready to meet the challenges ahead. And, it’s not just our hospitals, but also ambulator y facilities, long term care facilities, provider practices – everywhere health care is delivered,” he added. Gov. Murphy said the state was actively working toward doubling diagnostic testing capacity by the end of May, and having everything in place – from the kits themselves to the lab capacity necessary to ensure quick turnaround of results. “We will prioritize testing for healthcare workers, other essential workers, and vulnerable populations and we will ensure those who test positive will be linked to a health care provider,” he said.
The Brick Times, May 2, 2020, Page 7 “Our system will also be prepared to engage in targeted surveillance testing within communities, to further protect against the resurgence of COVID-19 and to build datasets that can help us better understand its spread,” Murphy said. “To achieve these aims, we will need signif icant support from our federal partners, and we will continue to expand our par tnerships with private-sector labs, and with institutions like Rutgers,” he said. There is also a need to recruit and deploy an army of contact tracers whose sole purpose will be to identify these individuals, so medical staff can follow-up and ensure they do not contribute to further spread of COVID-19. According to national guidance, a proper program will require anywhere from 15 to 81 persons engaged in contact tracing for every 100,000 residents. The governor said this means between r ou g h ly 1, 30 0 t o mor e t h a n 7,0 0 0 people to take on this work. But, the state are is engaging a number of tech companies to decrease the need for personnel and to make these personnel more accurate. “We will need to provide those who do test positive in the future with a safe and free place to isolate themselves and protect others from COVID-19. We must also be prepared to support these people with wrap-around services, as needed,” the governor added. T he gove r nor said “ when we re star t our economy, we will see new COVID-19 cases. That much we are sure about. Our goal will be to prevent these new cases from multiplying.” The gover nor will be an nou ncing t he for mat ion a nd t he me mbe r s of the Governor’s Restart and Recovery Com m ission i nvolv i ng econom ist s, business leaders, labor leaders, and health care experts among them, with local, national, and global experience and knowledge. “It will be their task to balance multiple competing needs to ensure we arrive at equitable decisions that work for every community in our state. I want nothing more than to see every Main Street filled with shoppers and diners once again. I want our constr uction sites roaring with activity once again. I want to see the shore humming through the summer,” Gov. Murphy said. “We cannot think of COVID-19 as a one-and-done. Ensuring New Jersey’s resiliency for the next outbreak – and that no one will be left unprotected because of racial or socio-economic status – must be part of our response to this outbreak. COVID-19 showed no favorites in ravaging our state, and neither will we in preparing for the next wave,” he said. “T his is a plan for how we move forward – not if we move forward,” he said. “So, let’s do this together. Let’s start by lowering the curve. We can do this if we all keep focus over the coming weeks. And, when we do this, it will be that much sooner that we are able to reach our destination.”

150 Whitesville Rd (Rt 527) • Jackson, NJ 08527 Family Run For Over 33 Years!732-364-0308 • www.iandgfarmsjackson.com
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - School administrators and instructors have had a challenging time with the current school closure and remote learning, but they decided they also needed to provide a lesson in hope for the community as well. That lesson came in the form of a fastpaced, fun-filled video shot around school facilities as inspiration to not only school staff and students but for parents and residents of Jackson to let them know that things will get better. The effort was led by Jackson Liberty High School Principal Geoff Brignola, who was also the lead singer. The group dropped a video with new lyrics to a song entitled “It’s NOT the End of the World as We Know It,” riffing off the R.E.M. song of the opposite sentiment. Brignola said, “we were working hard to get our students the tools they needed, and we took a moment to convey the most important lesson of all - which is that we are here for them and that everything is going to be okay. Letting them know in a lighthearted way seemed to work - the response was amazing.” As of April 1, the video had nearly 26,000 views on the district’s YouTube Channel, which can be found at jacksontelevision. com. Early on during the process district administrators pulled together some footage of how they were spending the fi rst few days of remote learning - getting Chromebooks to students, organizing lessons, and showing off their song re-writing skills. While Brignola spearheaded the project, video technology teachers Harry Ferone and Ethan Noble put it together using footage submitted from work being done in different buildings that were mostly empty, as per the guidelines. All district principals and Superintendent of Schools Stephen Genco are featured doing various tasks from getting Chromebooks ready, to driving floor cleaners, to washing their hands and dancing. “In the midst of all that was going on to get our students prepared for remote learning, to have this video go out with that message was truly genius,” School Superintendent Stephen Genco said. “It was born out of a true desire to convey hope and security, and a little bit of humor into a very serious situation, and our community loved it.” After the district e-mailed it out, responses came back thanking the staff for creating a positive vibe during a stressful time.
“This was fantastic! My fi rst grader really loved her principal and vice principal flossing,” wrote Switlik parent Jennifer Morello in a response to the district e-mail. “Thank you for the uplifting video! Jackson is the best!” “The collaboration, cooperation and spirit of teamwork among parents, staff and kids has been remarkable,” Genco said. “Some principals have been calling kids on their birthdays. Teachers are adapting and thriving in this new environment. Students are utilizing varied methods to learn. Food service workers and transportation staff helping to ensure food continuity for eligible families. It has truly brought out the best in all of us. “This is unchartered territory for all of us, and as time goes on we will keep adding ways we can all adapt and excel,” Genco said. “Knowing what I know about the caliber of staff and students and families in our district, I have full confidence in our ability to get through this together.” School District Communications Manager Allison Erwin said, “district students will be continuing along with their remote learning plans until further notice and until the state makes a determination that it is safe for schools to reopen.” “Until then, the district will continue to communicate with families and will continue to work to meet students’ needs,” Erwin added. The district’s Remote Learning Plans are located on the district website at Jacksonsd.org/rlp. COVID-19 updates can be found at jacksonsd.org/covid19. The district is encouraging families to visit both of those pages for information, which includes links and resources for different kind of supports that are available, including technological, economic and social emotional supports. The district has also launched a separate TechToolKit page to help parents, teachers and students understand ways to adapt in a remote learning environment. That address is jacksonsd.org/techtoolkit. “During times of crisis it is important for all of our staff and families to know that we are here for them and that there are places they can go for help,” said Assistant Superintendent of Schools Nicole Pormilli. “From help with how to understand how to use their child’s Google account, to links for Department of Labor information, to tips and activities to keep themselves and their child healthy from a social emotional standpoint - there are some great resources on there.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE EPA: Only Flush Toilet Paper
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is encouraging all Americans to only flush toilet paper, not disinfecting wipes or other non-flushable items that should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing only toilet paper helps ensure that the toilets, plumbing, sewer systems and septic systems will continue working properly to safely manage our nation’s wastewater. While EPA encourages disinfecting your environment to prevent the spread of COVID-19, never flush disinfecting wipes or other non-flushable items. These easy steps will keep surfaces disinfected and wastewater management systems working for all Americans. Preventable toilet and sewer backups can pose a threat to human health and present an extra challenge to our water utilities and their

workforce. Flushing anything other than toilet paper, including disinfecting wipes, can damage internal plumbing, local sewer systems and septic systems. Fixing these backups is costly and takes time and resources away from ensuring that wastewater management systems are otherwise working properly. EPA thanks wastewater utilities and their workforce for their courageous efforts at a time when resources may be stretched thin. Having fully operational wastewater services is critical to containing COVID-19 and protecting Americans from other public health risks. Our nation’s wastewater employees are everyday heroes who are on the frontline of protecting human health and the environment every single day. For more information, see epa.gov/coronavirus.

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – National Library Week, normally observed in April, was celebrated in a different way this year due to the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s National Library Week theme is “Find Your Way at the Library.” It was selected prior to the impact of the coronavirus and libraries everywhere are offering a virtual haven to people through cyberspace services. Members of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders recently recognized the week of April 19 as “National Library Week” and formally recognized April 21 as “National Library Workers Day” in recognition of the valuable contributions made by all library workers each and every day toward the betterment of the communities. “Finding Your Place at the Library” has evolved to exploring the ways the library continues to serve the community during a time of crisis. “While our library locations may be closed to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are still many resources available to our residents online,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Library. “I want to thank all the employees working behind the scenes to maintain the online presence and keep up with the customer service virtually,” Vicari added. Whether it be updating the social media accounts, issuing temporary library cards, or maintaining the online resources and entertainment, there is so much happening to allow residents to still have access to as much of the library resources as possible. Some resources include the Digital Question Box which allows residents to contact Ocean County Library experts to ask questions about online resources, authors, or book titles, the Online Concierge Service that lets adults, teens and children pinpoint their favorite genres and titles of eBooks and audio books, receive recommendations, and offer feedback about books and series, and Shore To View which is the Ocean County Library’s expanding video collection featuring children’s songs and activities, step-by-step innovative crafting lessons, book suggestions, business tips and more. “Libraries have long served as trusted and treasured institutions in cities, towns, schools and campuses. We are fortunate to have 21 locations that help build strong communities, and continue to serve our residents even during these difficult times,” Vicari said.
A new video by OCL was made to bond with patrons of all ages, and emphasizes its mission of “connecting people, building communities, transforming lives.” It’s eNewsletter recipients and Instagram and Facebook followers took part in the project, describing the Library’s role in their lives, and the comfort and amusement it has provided through the COVID-19 social distancing period. Library users were asked to describe how their library has inf luenced them daily and how they have adapted Library online services to their needs, and which digital services have proven to be most important to them. Responses included videos, photographs, and written comments where they noted OCL’s services such as “Shore To Craft,” “Shore To Read,” and “Shore to Sing,” which are viewable on its YouTube channel; Creativebug’s art and craft classes; audiobooks, ebooks, and video and audio streams available through Hoopla, Kanopy, OverDrive, and RBdigital and EBSCO; historical databases; language instruction by Mango and Pronunciator; and children’s resources such as Tumblebooks.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Medical Staff Takes Care Of Its Workers
By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY – Senior staff are donating paid time off to workers at Ocean Health Initiatives who are impacted by the coronavirus. Workers who are have been diagnosed with COVID-19, or if they have family with it, and need to be quarantined, are welcome to paid time off, senior staff reported. When an employee’s own paid time off is used up, rather than go without pay, the donated PTO will kick in to help staff members get through the crisis. The donated PTO is being donated from senior staff to those in need. Additionally, the company was running an internal food drive for staff that have been impacted by the crisis, scheduled to run from April 27 through May 1. Ocean Health Initiatives is a nonprofit, federally qualified health center with locations throughout
Ocean and Monmouth counties. Some of their locations are still open throughout this pandemic: 686 Route 70, Lakehurst for OB/GYN appointments and 10 Stockton Dr., Toms River for Well Visits and the Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) in the Toms River parking lot for sick visits. OHI is currently offering telehealth services as well. If needed, call (732) 363-6655 for an appointment. Since a lot of families are not able to leave their homes during this pandemic, the OHI Lakewood Pharmacy and OHI Manchester Pharmacy remain open and have a delivery service. Any current OHI pharmacy patients may obtain new prescriptions, refills, and counseling about medications from these two sites. If you are unable to travel, call the pharmacy at 732-719-1500 for delivery options. For more information visit ohinj.org

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

Immune System Benefits Of Andrographis
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. People are starting to think outside the pill as they shelter-in-place, and look online for herbs and vitamins that support immune function. As consumers become more savvy about natural plant-based medicine, we are seeing increasing interest in one herb in particular called Andrographis. Research articles typically refer to one of its biologically active constitutes called “andrographolide.” This is an extracted natural compound from the leaves and stem of Andrographis paniculata. It’s one of many compounds that has a medicinal action on the body. Andrographolide has many powerful actions on the human body and may help cardiovascular conditions such as high cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension. This cluster of problems is sometimes called metabolic syndrome. Andrographis is used widely overseas for a variety of conditions, but especially those of the upper respiratory tract. For example, Andrographis is commonly given to people who suffer with respiratory infections, such as the common cold, influenza, sore throats, acute and chronic cough conditions, sinusitis, bronchitis, and upper respiratory tract infections with fever. Here in the US, pharmaceuticals are typically used for these conditions, either to treat the infection, or as an adjunctive. That’s why you’ve probably never heard of Andrographis until today. That said, if you have Lyme, you may have heard of this before because Lyme doctors should know about Andrographis. It’s an herb that can be used to target and destroy the causative agent, Borrelia burgdorferi and in my opinion, it probably works better than Cat’s Claw.
Today, I’d like to share some findings about Andrographis. It is sold over-the-counter however, ask your doctor if this is something you should take for your individual concerns. I’m not a doctor so I cannot advise. Furthermore, I am not suggesting this as a treatment for COVID-19 or any coronavirus. Studies done on animals suggest that Andrographis might help with brain inflammation such as encephalitis.In one study, andrographolide improved synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex (in animals) and down-regulated the expression of genes that were causing harm. In other words, andrographolide helped ameliorate symptoms of brain damage in rodents. Can it do that in humans? No one can say, but getting into the brain is a big deal. A recent study on this herb found that it could produce some anxiolytic effects on the brain, but it was in combination with ashwagandha. That means it has some activity on GABA receptors and therefore, your sleep cycle. The adaptogenic potential of andrographis suggests that it ‘knows’ what to do in the body, and can regulate physiological responses by turning them up or down, depending on what your body needs. That’s how adaptogens work. There are over 2 dozen species of andrographis, and only a some have useful medicinal properties. I have a longer version of this article listing more benefits. You can get it if you sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com Andrographis is sold in dietary supplements nationwide and online. It comes in various forms. Again, I must ask you to refer to your practitioner to see if it’s right for you.

Musician:
Continued From Page 1 Off ice said that he had been fou nd washed ashore on Island Beach State Park on April 23, two days after he had gone out on his rowboat. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Mr. Conway,” Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer stated. Tornado Confirmed The powerful winds that tore up trees and fences in mainland Toms River was determined not to be a tornado by the National Weather Ser vice, however, there was one confirmed at Normandy Beach. Residents reported seeing a tornado blow through the area of Bay Avenue and surrounding streets on April 21. It damaged trees and fences and even lifted a trailer into the air. The storm was sudden and powerful throughout the region. An Ocean Gate man died when his boat sank in the Toms River. Sarah Johnson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Ser vice, said that after reviewing video of the Bay Avenue storm, the NWS deter mined that it was not a tornado. While experts are still reviewing evidence, they do not believe at this time that there was a tornado. However, there was a water spout at 3:05 p.m. on the same day over the Barnegat Bay, she said. It hit land in Normandy Beach, a neighborhood on the barrier island, where it officially became a tornado. Shortly after, there was another water spout seen in the Atlantic Ocean. It was unknown if these were two different water spouts, or if it was the same one that started in the bay and continued across the land as a tornado and became a water spout again once it hit the ocean.
This was considered an EF0 tornado, the lowest on the scale – but still dangerous, Johnson said. This carries with it a maximum estimated wind speed of 70 mph. The Normandy tornado and the damage on the mainland were all part of the same storm. Officials were careful in using the term “tornado.” The word comes with a lot of connotations, and is generally thought of as something that can level a town. They put the word “tornado” in quotes or said it was tornado-like weather, or witnesses said they saw a tornado. What happened on the mainland appeared to be straight-line winds, Johnson said. These were estimated at 60-80 mph. The cause of them in this situation was likely that there was a low-level jet aloft, and then the thunderstorm transferred the strong winds to the surface. In the end, does the name of the wind matter? Not really. “Straight-line winds can do just as much, and in some cases, more damage than a tornado,” Johnson said. Tornadoes tend to be more narrow in their path of destruction. People think “How can straight-line winds do this much damage? It must be a tornado,” she said. The storm caused hundreds of downed trees, damage to homes, cars, decks, pools, vehicles and fences. A 24-foot trailer went airborne and was dropped on a neighboring proper ty, off icials said. It was all hands on deck, as first responders, utility workers, and municipal employees cleared damage and made sure everyone was all right. Approx i mat ely 4,0 0 0 home s lost power during the storm. Jersey Central Power & Light worked for hours to get power back on and cleared trees from power lines.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Childcare Available For Essential Employees
Inside The Law Buying A House During The Days Of The COVID 19 Virus
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Dina M. Vicari, Esq., and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Children continue to learn at the Goddard School By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY - COVID-19 closed all the schools, and most of the businesses. However, there are essential employees who can’t stay home with their kids. They have to go to work, so there is a need for childcare for these essential personnel. Most people don’t realize that some childcare locations are still open, said Alisa Khaitan, owner of the Goddard School on Route 70 in Toms River. They applied through the state in order to stay open, and was approved. Now, they are one of the few places still open to take care of kids while their parents take care of everyone else. While everything is different now in our daily lives, it’s important that children have a sense of normalcy. They thrive on reinforcement of positive routines. The staff are still creating and implementing weekly lesson plans, and if the weather is nice, children are playing outside. All of this has to be done within the virus regulations set forth by the state, and in order to serve as an emergency center, the school has to follow very strict guidelines, Khaitan said. For example, parents drop children off outside the building to a staff member, since only staff members and students are allowed inside. The children have their temperature taken before they head in. “There is nothing more we would like than for the quarantine to be lifted and life to resume back to what will be our new normal,” she said. “Until that time, it is our responsibility to continue to teach these children while keeping them safe.” The following employees are deemed essential by state standards: • Health care workers, including staff working in health care facilities and in community-based services including home health and behavioral health; • Law enforcement personnel, fire and emergency services personnel, and correc-

tional facility staff; • Individuals employed at emergency child care centers operating on or after April 1, 2020; • Staff working for entities that provide essential social services, including, but not limited to, group home and shelter staff; • Essential government employees who are unable to work from home, including child protection services workers, child welfare workers, foster care workers, unemployment compensation processing staff, and public health employees; • Certain critical workers, as defined by the Commissioner of DCF, at essential retail businesses, as defined in Executive Order No. 107 (2020) and subsequent Administrative Orders, which includes, for example, grocery store and gas station employees. For now, these parents are having their tuition paid for by the state. Families can enroll here: childcarenj.gov/Child-Carefor-COVID-19/Ocean The Goddard School is offering full day and partial day care during the current health crisis available to essential working personnel defined by the New Jersey Department of Public Health. Who: Infants through 8th graders who are children of essential employees as defined in the Governor’s Executive Order #110. When: 7 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday Where: The Goddard School, 255 Route 70, Toms River Details: Children will enjoy age-appropriate activities and outdoor playtime in a safe and healthy environment cared for by qualified Goddard Faculty. We also provide support and guidance to the school age children with help completing their school work. For more information contact: Alisa Khaitan, School Owner at tomsriver2nj@ goddardschools.com or (732) 363-5530.
Despite the wide spread threat of COVID 19, many residents are already in contracts to purchase new homes with closing dates fast approaching. While there are many mandatory business closures and the need for social distancing, a closing can continue provided various safety measures are taken. First, make sure that when there are any inspections or appraisals scheduled that the new home is vacated. It is acceptable to request that the current owners leave the home during the inspection to avoid person to person contact. Wearing gloves and a mask during the inspection is not unreasonable to protect yourself, your professionals and the seller. Second, as you complete attorney review and agreed on final contract terms you should discuss with your attorney immediately ordering a title search and survey. Many companies are closed, on restricted hours, or back logged. It is best to order these documents early to get this documents that are essential for closing to avoid later delay. Third, as group meetings are limit-
ed you may be able to schedule your closing Dina M. Vicari Esq. enacting other social distancing measures. The real estate industry is currently in the process of designing platforms and approving methods to allow for electronic signatures and notarizing for loan and conveyance documents. These technologies are in the process are being perfected, implemented and soon to be used to assist in the closing process. Finally, once you close you should take extra steps to properly disinfect your new home. This would include cleaning duct work and dry vents. There are companies that are specialized in disinfecting for the COVID 19. The list above is a broad outline of measures to be taken to protect yourself. We at R.C. Shea and Associates can assist you during your home purchase. Feel free to contact us as 732-505-1212. Our attorneys and staff are ready to help you purchase your family’s new home.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of MAY 2 - MAY 8
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Key relationships can take a turn for the better if you keep your promises. Because you are excited to make dynamic changes, you might cause someone to question your loyalty. Focus on being committed in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Plan on spending blissful moments of togetherness with someone who puts the “Râ€? in romance. Your imaginative ideas might be useful in a work environment as this week progresses, although they may not bring personal benefits. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Now is an excellent time to really think out any plans you make. You could be tempted to act on emotional impulses rather than logical deductions. Your charm and attractiveness are likely at a peak in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the week ahead, you may become involved in a partner’s new interests. Although you may have found it more diďŹƒcult to communicate with each other lately, the two of you can work together quite well later this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Any desire you may have for recognition could be fulfilled as the upcoming week unfolds. Try to visualize achieving what you want. You may be more enthused than usual about appearing in public and attaining career success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This might be a day when you must simplify what you have to say to get a complicated concept across. You may have a chance to buy a beautiful item that you’ve long dreamed of owning in the week ahead.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put inspirations into action. The people in your life can spark your imagination and help you find practical applications for your ideas. Enjoy a heightened sense of peace and understanding with loved ones this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone could share romantic ideals or inspiring thoughts with you, but they won’t undermine practical considerations. Don’t hesitate to accept invitations or pursue the love interest of your dreams in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your partner’s cheerful encouragement or a friend’s support can build a welcoming environment, making it easier to succeed at any project. As this week unfolds, some financial pressures should be relieved. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may have a deep interest in a creative or personal project that interferes with a family outing or other commitment. Avoid confrontations just to have your own way. Be willing to compromise in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put some more effort into your appearance. People prefer to deal with those who appear prosperous and successful. Make yourself extra attractive and appealing in the week ahead and you should be able to add to your success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your high ideals might be compared to the giant waves of the ocean. You may continuously focus your efforts on achieving perfect tranquility this week, and friends will help. Buying more stuff may not bring satisfaction.
