By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – The staff at Lakehurst Elementary school have been brainstorming ways to stay connected to their
students and they decided the way to do it was through a music video. First there was reading books as a Mystery Masked Reader on
Facebook, and now the “Thinking of You” tribute has been keeping the school staff busy. “School system staff created signs with a lyric
from the song ‘Thinking of You’ by Dierks Bentley. We then took pictures of us holding the sign to create the video,” Lakehurst (Music - See Page 4)
Homeless Still Struggling Through Pandemic By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – While the governor has issued orders for everyone to stay at home unless on emergency business, there are some who don’t have a home to begin with. “It is hard right now for the homeless in Ocean and Monmouth counties,” said Minister Steve Brigham, a longtime advocate for local homeless. “A lot of pantries have closed, and the ones that are still open, a lot of them have cut back their hours.”
Due to the virus, everyone has to be careful about exposure to the public. “The churches that were hosting dinners for the homeless have stopped doing dinners. I’m getting calls from the homeless almost every day saying they need food and water,” he said. Paul Hulse, the CEO/President of Just Believe, Inc. said his group has been working with private agencies and the Board of Social Services to get them temporary (Homeless - See Page 7)

Hindenburg Recalled, Despite No Public Ceremony
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – While the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society museum remains closed, the 83rd anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster was not left unnoticed on May 6. Carl Jablonski, the long-time president of the NLHS noted on the day’s anniversary day, “with the cooperation of the Navy, there is a video on Facebook regarding today’s event. There is no live event; it is all on tape.” Jablonski said another video that aired on Facebook at 7:25 p.m. that night, included the names of all who died during that tragic event. It is on both the Navy and the NLHS Facebook page. “This is the first time in my 25 years as president, that I will not be MCing the ceremony.” “The COVID-19 virus caused us to close up shop for this event,” Jablonski said expressing to the community that “I sincerely hope that you and your family are okay health-wise regarding COVID-19.” NLHS is still closed with regard to tours and the gift shop. Jablonski said “Base Security checks our spaces, displays and gift shop areas on a daily basis.” He added, “no one really knows when NLHS will be given the okay to reopen. I’m assuming we are looking at several months or less before we can be fully reopened. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 the May air show was canceled and pushed back to 2022.” Jablonski noted that conditions of the pandemic have negatively impacted the group’s financial status. “The airshow and our gift shop provided NLHS with our main source of income. However, we still have expenses to take care of.” Jablonski said with this in mind, “I’m asking our members and Friends of NLHS to voluntarily consider making a donation to NLHS. I know we are all (Hindenburg - See Page 4)

burdened with expenses at this difficult time, so please understand that this request is completely voluntary.” The group’s address is NLHS PO BOX 328 Lakehurst, New Jersey, 08733. The group’s website also links to a PayPal account to accept donations. NLHS is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the distinguished heritage of Naval Air Station Lakehurst. Although Navy Lakehurst will forever be remembered as the site of the Hindenburg disaster, many other significant events have taken place here. The station was the western terminus for the commercial transatlantic flights of the German dirigibles Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin. Navy Lakehurst was the first international airport

in the United States. The first Navy Helicopter Squadron and the first live ejection seat test were at Navy Lakehurst. In 2017, the NLHS played a major role in observing the 80th anniversary of the Hindenburg which noted recalled the details of the tragic airship accident that put the borough of Lakehurst and Ocean County on the global map. Several hundred people came out to remember the event which took the lives of 36 people involved with the final flight of the DLZ-129 Hindenburg. Military personnel, public officials, historians and those simply curious came out on the evening of May 6, 2017 to the grounds of the Lakehurst Naval Air Station where the explosion and crash occurred eight decades ago. A ceremony was held in partnership between the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and the NLHS.
The full account and chronology of what occurred was reviewed by the various speakers at the event. Jablonski read the names of those lost at the close of the ceremony; Col. Frederick Thaden, commander, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst; Dr. Horst Schirmer, whose father designed the aeronautics for the Hindenburg; Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. “Ginny” Haines; and Lt. Gen. Gina M. Grosso; U.S. Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services, Headquarters. Freeholder Haines noted that the Joint Base remains “a very important facility for our country.” Dr. Horst Schirmer, whose father designed the aeronautics for the Hindenburg, remarked that day that, “there were 112 dirigibles built in World War I to use in war. The Hindenburg was so large it barely fit in
the hanger here,” he said. “My father was engaged in physics and all the aeronautics in the construction of the Hindenburg. I was taken aboard as a little boy by my father.” Jablonski noted that Dr. Schirmer and Mrs. Close Springs are the last two people still alive who had ridden aboard the Hindenburg although not on its final flight. Springs’s flight was in September of 1936. Schirmer who Jablonski said had never missed a ceremony of the Hindenburg and would have been present this year, said during his 2017 speech, “a combination of factors concerning the venting system most likely caused the hydrogen to ignite. We will never know what happened. Hopefully there was no sabotage. Despite what happened the Hindenburg left us with a good view of these flights. It was a fabulous machine.”
DeSanto said, “each one of us took a picture of ourselves and uploaded the document and the music was set to it.” She was joined by staff members Kathleen Hoerster, Alyssa Peters, school nurse Maryellen Hess, occupational therapist Megan Noonan, and art teacher Conrad Cote. The effect was to let students know they were missed by their teachers and other staff
members at the school. “It was the work of three administrators, some teachers and some para-professionals as well. They signed up for it,” DeSanto said. DeSanto said the district established a special Facebook page called Lakehurst Masked Reader “where we use an emoji on our face and the students try to figure out
who the teacher is. I had a pig emoji on my face and I read ‘The Giving Tree’ and then the kids have to figure out is it this teacher or another. There is a reveal a couple days later.” “This is the kind of fun things we’ve been doing to kind of keep them interested and letting them know that we miss them,” she said.

Continued From Page 1 housing. They’ve successfully housed 10 people as of press time. “When the homeless get sick they either call us here at Just Believe Inc, call 911, or go to the hospital. One person contracted COVID-19 and we initially got her housed in a motel but we ran out of money and now she is living in her car because she doesn’t want to get anyone else sick,” he said. The volunteers working with the population wear masks and gloves, he said. “We have served 4,200 (an average of 700 a week) families and individuals by providing them meals and crisis boxes during the pandemic. We have delivered meals and food to the disabled and families that cannot leave their house,” he said. “We have been feeding the homeless in downtown Toms River seven days a week in collaboration with the Toms River Community Church and Alive Again Alliance Church. We also provide them with hand sanitizer and masks. We work with a few churches that allow the homeless to come in to wash up or use the bathroom. In addition, we are working with the Tom River Township Police Department to ensure the safety of the homeless by periodically checking on them to see if they are OK,” he said. How To Help There are a few easy ways to help the homeless make it through this difficult time. A donation to Just Believe can be made at justbelieveinc.org/donate/.
The Manchester Times, May 16, 2020, Page 7 They can also be given to Destiny’s Bridge, Brigham’s organization, through Destinysbridge.org, mailed to Destiny’s Bridge, PO Box 692, Lakewood NJ, 08701, or sent through PayPal at Destinysbridgefoundation@gmail.com. “The food is going out, and being used as fast as it comes in,” he said. Suggested items for donation include: Hearty soups, Ramen noodles, tuna fish/canned chicken, peanut butter and jelly, bread, water, juices, snacks and gift cards to BJs for propane. Brigham has some good Samaritans that allow their property to be drop-off locations for supplies for the homeless. He goes around and picks them up.

Smith Calls On VA Secretary To Overcome Delays On New Veterans Clinic
WASHINGTON, D.C. − Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), responding to a notice he received about yet another delay in the replacement of the Brick Veterans Clinic, made an immediate and direct appeal to Robert Wilkie, Secretary of the Department Veterans Affairs (VA). Smith fired off a letter requesting to meet with the VA to discuss - and resolve the long-delayed construction of a new clinic for Ocean County. In a letter to Secretary Wilkie, Smith asked for a meeting to discuss “the extraordinarily disappointing announcement” that the VA is, for the second time, cancelling the current lease award and beginning over its process of procurement for a new outpatient clinic lease to replace the Brick VA Clinic. In part, the letter read: “Our veterans deserve a new, expanded, state-of-the-art facility at which they can get the quality health care they deserve. Today’s announcement delays that reality for a second time and jeopardizes the health and welfare of veterans in central New Jersey. As the former chairman of the Veterans Affairs committee and as the author of legislation that ultimately led to the establishment of the Brick clinic in the early 1990s, I am requesting your personal attention to this matter. I have also pushed the VA to pursue this important service upgrade because the current facility is currently handling as many as three times the number of appointments which it was originally intended to serve when I first introduced my legislation back
in 1985 to establish a VA facility in Ocean County. “In 2014, Congress approved a legislative package I strongly supported which included the Department of Veterans Affairs Major Medical Facility Lease Authorization Act reauthorizing a new clinic to replace the Brick Clinic, as well as 26 other VA facilities across the country. It is my understanding that the majority of those 26 clinics have been replaced, yet the Brick Clinic remains one of the incomplete projects saddled by timeline postponements and two cancellations. “Having successfully spearheaded and supported the efforts to locate the CBOC in Brick, as well as VA clinics in Trenton and Hamilton (Mercer County) and Fort Monmouth, now in Tinton Falls (Monmouth County), and both the Vet Center and its Mobile Vets Center in Lakewood, I have seen first-hand how properly situated facilities can provide convenient, cost-effective, quality primary care for millions of veterans. I also know that VA personnel recognize the value of the clinics and want to see the solicitation and procurement process through to ensure the establishment of a facility that will provide our vets with the care they deserve. “I look forward to meeting with you to investigate and overcome the hurdles in this project. We need to ensure that this, the third procurement process, only represents a setback that will be properly resolved with the establishment of the long-overdue, top-notch facility our veterans need and deserve.”

Manchester Officials Act On State’s Ruling To Extend Tax Grace Period
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – New Jersey Gov. Philip Murphy ssued a State Executive Order #130 providing for the grace period for 2nd
quarter property taxes that were due on May 1 which have now been extended to June 1. Manchester officials recently announced that a “relief period” for 2nd quarter prop-
erty taxes would be extended to June 30, with zero percent interest for delinquent payments in an effort to provide relief due to circumstances related to the COVID-19

pandemic. However, given the Governor’s request for uniformity, Mayor Ken Palmer said, “we needed to make an additional change.” During a special meeting on May 1, the governing body adopted resolutions 20227 and 20-228 rescinding the previous enabling resolutions, to be filed with the Division of Local Government Services. The approved resolutions allow the 2nd quarter property tax grace period to be extended to June 1, with zero percent interest for payments made from the May 1, due date through the extended grace period ending on June 1. If by June 1, the payments for 2nd quarter property taxes should remain unpaid, interest will be charged in accordance with the normal statutory requirements. Should the grace period be extended further by the Governor, township officials are willing to address the new extension at that time. The Mayor and Council are committed to providing our residents with latitude in dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The governing body is limited by strict state and federal guidelines in providing relief to taxpayers under the current State of Emergency and will continue to seek every legal means of relief for our residents. Township Attorney Jerry Dasti said that separate from that the grace period for water and sewer bills are May 15. Mayor Palmer said during the meeting that he had participated in a conference call of county officials, Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari, mayors and representatives of towns “regarding Ocean County being award a $106 million grant from the federal government through the CARES Act and they are trying to coordinate reimbursement to the towns for unexpected unbudgeted items related to COVID-19.” “We are obviously going to comply and get our requests put in. We will coordinate that. Already Police Chief Lisa Parker has maintained an Excel spread sheet for these (Tax - See Page 12)

Tax:
Continued From Page 10 expenses so gathering the information for these expenses will be very easy,” Palmer said. The mayor added that “we just want to make sure we have a plan going forward to keep an accurate accounting so we can get reimbursed. I just wanted to let everyone know about that.” Resident Carl Navantieri asked, “the interest that would be due would be put off until June but the taxes are still due before June correct?” “No, that is not correct,” Council President Samuel Fusaro responded. “The taxes are due today (May 1) but there is a grace period that will be extended through the end of May so as long as you pay your taxes by the first day of June you will not have any interest
or penalty.” Fusaro added that she and other residents can call the tax accessor’s office during the week to ask any questions or information. “It is also available online, you can go to the township website to the page for the collector and it will give you what your bill for water sewer bill is currently and also what your taxes are that are due,” Township Clerk Sabina Martin said. Dasti told Navantieri that the amount she paid on Feb. 1 is what she would have to pay by June. 1. She was told that she and other residents can drop off checks if that is their preference to the drop off box which Fusaro said was located “in the parking lot just as you are going out to the parking lot.” Mayor Palmer added that there is another drop box by the front doors at Town Hall where it can be left as well.

ative antibody results DO NOT rule out SARs-CoV-2 infection, particularly in those who have recently been in contact with someone who has the virus. A nasal swab (a molecular diagnostic test) is performed to rule out the possibility that someone could be an asymptomatic carrier of the virus. Positive results SHOULD NOT be used as the sole basis to diagnose SARSCoV-2 infection. Positive results may be due to past or present infection with non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains, such a s coronav i r u s H KU1, N L63, OC43, or 229E. These are causes of the common cold.

From Our Goddard Family to Yours –
STAY SAFE, STAY HEALTHY, STAY HOME 255 RT 70 ¥ TOMS RIVER 732-363-5530 www.goddardschool.com/Toms-River-IINJ
Somewhere in Ocean County. David Moss sent a group message to his team reading; “OK JCM TEAM-This has been in the making for a few months now. We finally have a preliminary scheduled date for our first real team meeting (Super Excited).” We held our first meeting live on Facebook on March 10. Our faithful leader announced our new name: JCM Home Services. Eager and excited, we shot our very fi rst commercial. We laughed, joked, discussed game plans regarding each of our roles. We were ready! Then, this cessation occurred; COVID-19 came in like Miley Cyrus on that wrecking ball. We were stopped right in our tracks. We, then had to have a meeting (of course respecting the social distancing) and
discuss our strategy and especially regarding P.P.E. Our owner, Dave, made sure we were all equipped with masks and gloves. Then, the quarantine began. We went from seeing each other, working together with new clients to having the office crew work from home and the others having to be on unemployment. Alas, beyond the storm there is a ray of light peeking through. We are down but we are not out. We are still here for you Ocean County to help anyway we can. We are still available for all your electrical, HVAC, Energy Savings, Smart Home & Handyman Services. Hope is not lost; it is just hidden amongst the fog. This too shall pass, and we will be stronger than ever. Stay safe and be well.
Excrement, Lack Of Masks In Parks Concern Officials
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – State parks are open, but the restrooms are not, causing some people to leave behind disgusting things for parkgoers and park police to find. During a press conference on May 11, State Police Col. Patrick Callahan said that for the most part, the reopening of parks went well, and the cold weather had something to do with that. However, officers reported an “inordinate amount” of urine in bottles and feces left in parks. “We understand that the restrooms are closed,” but people should be preparing for that before they leave the house, he said. “There is a zero tolerance policy for that,” he said. “The whole idea behind the parks is to give our citizens the ability to go out there and enjoy fresh air and have time outside.” Park, state and county police will be on the lookout for this behavior, and will charge
people if they see it. Gov. Phil Murphy repeated that there would be zero tolerance for any residents caught leaving waste like that. “You’re not going to get a warning if we catch you leaving something like that behind,” Murphy said. Additionally, Murphy noted that people need to be wearing masks or some other kind of facial covering at these parks. There are a lot of parks with narrow trails, and you physically can’t social distance in situations like this. “The more we can cover up our faces, the better off we’ll be,” he said. This applies to all areas of life, not just parks. Murphy’s Executive Order closed all parks on March 31, and state parks reopened at the beginning of May. He also gave each county the option of opening their parks and golf courses.

New Jersey is continuing to identify new cases of COVID-19 but our “curve” will continue to flatten but the virus will remain with us for at least the remainder of the year. In my opinion, the “new normal” will include a) social distancing, b) continued use of wearing a mask, c) frequent hand washing, and d) no more hugs for a while. Telepractice will become increasing popular in all medical fields, including hearing healthcare. Remote programming of hearing aids has been available for several years, but in my opinion, the majority of our patients calling our offices cannot benefit from remote programming. During this pandemic, due to the frequent use of wearing a mask, dozens have “lost” their hearing instruments or broke a receiver wire. Many other patients have a “dead” hearing aid and the only way to fix it is to send it back to the manufacturer. Remote programming would be a complete waste of time in these instances. We have continued to offer “curbside services” and/or drop off services at our Toms River office. This concierge service is critical during this time of uncertainty as well as the increased importance of communication with family and friends. As our offices begin to transition to
opening again, the “new normal” will require us to scan temperatures, ask patients specific questions related to covid-19 symptoms, stagger appointments so there’s no more than two patients in our office at the same time and allow extra time to disinfect all areas once the patient has left. This “new normal” will significantly limit the total number of patients we can see but it’s absolutely critical to follow these procedures at least for the remainder of the year. For over 30 years, Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and/or can’t communicate with their loved ones because they’re hearing aid stopped working. In these times of social isolation, it’s imperative that we communicate with our loved ones. We need that connection for psychosocial and cognitive support. If you need our help, please call us at 732-818-3610. We will be re-opening very soon! Please stay healthy, stay home, practice social distancing and I promise you there will be a bright light at the end of the tunnel. All the Best! Dr. Izzy

3 Ways Saffron Helps Age-Related Macular Degeneration
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. If you’ve ever cooked using saffron spice, you know that this unique spice is flavorful and aromatic. For me, saffron is a must-have for dishes such as plain rice (or paella), soups such as chicken soup or bouillabaisse and certain bread/pastries. The active medicinal compounds in saffron come from a tiny part of the flower, not from a bulb, or the leaves like other herbs. The painstaking labor required for harvesting it by hand makes the price of saffron extremely high. That’s why it has not been studied for very many human diseases the way we study other less expensive herbs such as rosemary, turmeric, garlic or sage. Specific components of saffron spice have demonstrated benefits in several eye ailments. These diseases include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and cataracts. Let’s focus on AMD today. Age-related macular degeneration may lead to blindness, especially among person’s over 65. The eye disease occurs gradually and with little to no warning. It begins with a loss of central vision, and may eventually progress to total blindness. We know that breakdown of the macula occurs, but researchers are not sure why. The macula is next to the retina. Obviously, reversing the progressive condition would be the dream scenario, but halting it would suffice. Recent research indicates that oxidative damage is a culprit in AMD. Studies on saffron suggest it offers protection against oxidative damage in patients with early AMD. First, it is essential to note that, to date, conventional medicine has found no way of restoring vision lost to AMD. Treatments such as prescription drugs and laser surgery
may slow the progression of AMD. So if an herb can augment your current protocol, I’d have a conversation with your ophthalmologist about it. Here are three reasons why: 1. Saffron contains many different constituents including crocin and crocetin. These have shown neuroprotective properties for the eye in multiple double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. 2. Saffron contains potent antioxidant capabilities, meaning they neutralize those troublesome free radicals that attack the retina and the macula. 3. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial offers unconscious bias information. Two of these types of studies have produced information about saffron that is impossible to ignore. In one trial (using their proprietary form of Saffron from France), patients who supplemented for 3 months with low-dose saffron (20 mg/day) experienced improvements in retinal sensitivity, color perception, and visual contrast. When the trial was extended over a year, the participants experienced even more benefit in terms of increased visual acuity! The data was published in The Journal of Translational Medicine. We know saffron can improve a low mood, and now it appears that oral saffron supplementation may partially reversed the damage to visual perception. No one is claiming that saffron cures AMD, but the benefits are pretty crisp! Even a modest improvement in eyesight is a big deal to many people because it can greatly improve quality of life. Please ask your doctor if it’s right for you. You can cook with saffron as a spice. Saffron teas, supplements and extracts are available nationwide.

County Officials Urge Residents To Fill Out And Return Census Forms
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Fill out and return those 2020 Census forms. That’s the message Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari wants to get out all Ocean County residents if they haven’t done so already. “The steps you take now to fill out the Census have an effect on federal and state funding for the next decade. This is the time to fill out the
Census for 2020.The Census directly impacts the federal and state funding allocated to New Jersey and its counties, municipalities and communities,” Vicari said. Vicari added, “Gov. Murphy has been strongly encouraging everyone to fill out their Census forms. We need everyone’s participation. During the coronavirus pandemic we are hearing a lot about the need to financially assist
businesses, seniors, health care providers.” “That money is based on Census participation figures. Now more than ever, we need everyone to be a part of this and fill out the Census,” Vicari added. According to the Governor’s office, New Jersey ranks 21 out of 50 states in the number of completed census forms returned to the federal government. About 59 percent of the state’s
residents have returned their forms. The Freeholder Director said the recent $106 million federal CARES Act aid package to fight the COVID-19 crisis is an example of the kind of federal programs that can be impacted by the census. “When the federal government looks to make an appropriation like this, they take census data into consideration. This is just one example of why it is so important that each and every Ocean County resident is counted,” Vicari added. The Census has taken place every decade since 1790, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution - an effort to count every person living in the United States. The results of the Census affect the distribution of billions of dollars to states and communities every year for the next 10 years. Vicari said, “our state’s federal funding related to the COVID-19 recovery depends on the completeness of our Census count. This is so very important to all of us as this pandemic has affected everyone.” This is the first year where about 80 percent of residents have received a mailing directing them to complete the Census online at www. my2020census.gov. Residents can also submit their form by phone, or request a mail-in form by calling 1-800-923-8282. Vicari also emphasized that Census data and the collection of the data is strictly confidential and protected by Federal Law under Title 13. The information on the census questionnaire cannot be used for any other purpose or shared with any other institutions or agencies. The results of the Census also determine how Congress is apportioned. “These are key factors in us obtaining our fair share of funding for many vital programs and services, such as important infrastructure improvements, senior services, public health, education, transportation, and block grant programs,” Vicari said. Ocean County is unique because of the number of snowbirds – people that spend winters elsewhere – that live in the County. “With more than 170,000 seniors living in Ocean County, it is important our snowbirds who live in Ocean County most of the year are counted here,” Vicari said. Residents are encouraged to go to Ocean County’s 2020 Census Facebook page @Ocean County2020Census to get updates regarding this year’s Census in Ocean County or check out the Census website, 2020census.gov.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Ocean County College Now A Pick-Up Spot For Emergency Food Packages
TOMS RIVER − Fulfill, the Food Bank of Monmouth of Ocean Counties, has been serving our community for decades, and is, without question, a vital service during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Now, on conjunction with the food bank, volunteers from Ocean County College have come together while the campus is closed to provide “crisis boxes” of essentials for our students, and their families, in need. Using the OCC App, students are able to register, and coordinate a pickup, for a box of food that will feed a family of four for four days. Additionally, beginning this month, the boxes will be accompanied by a care package of artistic activities for all ages provided by staff at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts and the Robert J. Novins Planetarium. “While classes continue to be held remotely, the needs of our students remain,” remarked Kenneth J. Malagiere, Executive Director of the OCC Foundation, which is joining with OCC student volunteers Cristina Baldino, Spencer Salas, and Isabella Salas; members of the OCC Phycology Club; and College Facilities, Security, and Student Life teams to offer this program. “Our Foundation is committed to assisting the students and campus community of Ocean County College, beyond scholarships, through our Student Emergency Relief Fund, as well as participating in vital
projects like our burgeoning partnership with Fulfill.” Also pitching in alongside Malagiere are Sherri Bray, Assistant Director of Events and Advertising for the Foundation, and Dr. Margaret Maghan, OCC Psychology Lecturer. Ocean County College is home to the Helping Hands Food Pantry, a student-run initiative that, when classes are in session, aids students who express food insecurity. “Though our physical space is closed, our dedication to helping students meet their basic needs remains paramount,” said Pantry Director Alison Noone, OCC’s Assistant Director of Student Life. “Delivering gift cards and boxes of food, connecting students to resources, and more will continue as our students’ needs increase.” In March, when it was announced classes would be held remotely for the remainder of the semester, OCC donated all of its perishable foods to the B.E.A.T. Center of Toms River to help individuals in need during this uncertain and challenging time. (https://www.ocean.edu/news/occ-donating-all-perishable-food-on-campus-to-theb-e-a-t-center/) While this pandemic continues, dates for future crisis box distributions – to be promoted on the OCC App – will be available for OCC students and their families as coordinated through the office of Student Life.

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari is warning residents who may receive stimulus checks made out to deceased relatives: don’t cash those checks. Vicari himself had the experience of receiving federal COVID-19 stimulus check made out to a late relative who died more than two years ago. “The suddenness of the coronavirus outbreak and the federal government’s quick action to bolster the economy and assist residents means that in some cases checks have mistakenly been issued to deceased residents.” Vicari said. “Please do not attempt to cash these checks. Instead, simply check the box on the envelope you received and place it back into the mailbox. The check will then be automatically returned to the Treasury Department,” Vicari said. The Internal Revenue Service issued additional guidelines on how to return the money. If an envelope is not available, the check can be sent to Kansas City Refund Inquiry Unit, 333 W Pershing Road, Mail Stop 6800, N-2 Kansas City, MO 64108. Before returning any check, write “void” on the endorsement line of the back of the check. If stimulus money is deposited directly into

a deceased person’s bank account, a personal check for that same amount should be sent to the address above. Make the check or money order payable to “U.S. Treasury” and write 2020EIP, and the taxpayer identification number (social security number or individual taxpayer identification number) of the original recipient of the check. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said in recent news interviews, relatives and estates of dead people who received checks should return the money. The federal government mailed out more than 89 million checks in the fi rst three weeks of the program. Overall, more than 150 million checks were mailed. Vicari said, “with those kind of numbers some mistakes are bound to be made.” Federal officials and President Donald Trump have said checks issued to the deceased need to be returned. Vicari strongly recommended that residents, “do the right thing. Check the box and return the check.” The federal stimulus program has been especially important to Ocean County, where nearly 30 percent of the population is age 60 or older. “In these very difficult times, both our seniors and our younger families are depending on these checks to help make ends meet,” Vicari said.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Ways For A Healthier Lifestyle
Dear Joel, While working from home and staying in (apart from essential errands) as instructed during the COVID-19 pandemic, I have developed a new and healthy routine. Now that I have more free time, I use it to prepare healthy meals, try new recipes and educate myself on healthier food choices. I take time every day to exercise; walking, stretching, gardening and just moving more. I am more engaged in each activity which has led to increased efficiency, especially regarding work. I am learning to enjoy a simpler life, grateful for things I once took for granted. My concern is that once we resume life as it was (with modifications), I will revert to old ways. Ways that left me stressed and exhausted at week’s end. Do you have any suggestions on how I can maintain my new mindset and routine? Answer: Congratulations to you for using this time to improve the quality of your life; it has
been challenging in so many ways for so many of us. As life returns to more of what we have been used to, free time will once again be at a premium. You may have to pick and choose which activities are feasible daily. Rather than eliminating your daily exercise, you may have to shorten the duration. Many people choose to prep their meals in advance on days when they are not working, etc. If you are happier with living a simpler life, continue to do so. How you participate in the ‘reopening’ of our world is your choice. One thing is certain, maintaining your ‘attitude of gratitude’ will keep you focused on what is important. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.
If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566 (800603-CARE (2273). “Home health care with feeling. (“Home Health Care with Feeling”)

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Partial Unemployment Benefits
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: 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 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).

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE By Michael Vandenberg For almost 25 years, “Exceptional Care without Exception” has been the motto and guiding pr inc iple for N ew Jersey Hematolo gy Oncology Associates (NJHOA). If you’ve gotten that terrible cancer diagnosis, or are in the midst of a blood disease, you’ll want to come to a practice where you’re treated with dignity and efficiency. A place where you can get compassionate care with a smile. That plac e has always been NJHOA. Dr. Gir ish A min started the practice i n 19 9 6 i n B r i c k . His approach was highly suc c es sf ul and well-regarded,
Exceptional Care Without Exception At NJ Hematology Oncology Associates
s o i t wa s n’ t l o n g before he decided to add more locations across Ocean Count y and addi tional doctors who shared his philosophy. Dr. Jayne Pavlak- Schenk joined the team in 2000. Currently there are four doctors on staff, including Dr. Apurv Agrawal and Dr. Randi Katz. T h ey a r e l o c ate d at 1608 Route 88 West, Suite 250 in Brick; Winding River Medical Park at 508 L akehur st Road, Suite 1B in Toms River; Hope Tower at 19 Davis Avenue, 2nd Floor in Neptune; and 63D Lacey Road in Whiting. Since our last prof ile on NJHOA , a new doctor joined the team: Dr. Randi
Dr. Randi Katz
Katz. Although she may be new to the practice, she knows the area well, having practiced Hematology and Oncology in both Ocean and Monmouth counties for over 10 years. She keeps busy helping the valued pat i e nt s of t h e s e counties, being on staff at Ocean Medical Center, Jersey Shore Medical Center, and Community Medical Center. She employs joint-decision making with all of her patients. It’s not just NJHOA’s overall philosophy on patient care that draws like-minded physicians like Dr. Kat z to the prac tic e, but also the amount of services they provide for patients. A lot of their
focus is specifically on diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the prac tic e places a great deal of value on symptom management to maximize the quality of life of their patients. They accomplish that not just with medic ations, but by c reating a share d c are p lan with their patients and their families to help them achieve their goals of care. NJ H OA t r i e s to keep most aspects of testing and treatm e nt i n - h o u s e i n an effort to provide complete care for cancer and prioritize convenience for their patients. The practice features a state-of-the-art lab for testing including r out ine bl o o d work, flow cytometry for blood disorders, hereditar y cancer screening tests, and molecular profiling of tumors. NJHOA also offers on-site i nf u s i o n s of c h e motherapy, mono clonal antibodies, biological agents, hor mone therapy, iron infusions, therapeutic phlebotomy, and bone mar row aspiration and biopsy. They also infuse immunotherapy treatments including Provenge, Yer voy, Opdivo, Key truda, and Tecentriq. There is an on-site pharmacy for dispensing oral medic ations including oral chemotherapy medications. The practice molecularly profiles tumors of their cancer patients when appropriate to help create a targeted treatment plan. Dr.
Dr. Apurv Agrawal Agrawal explained that, “targeted treatment based on molecular profiling of a patients tumor offers not only a personalized treatment but a greater likelihood of success for patients”. Molecular profiling of tumors and immunotherapy are on the forefront of cancer treatment. Besides treatment, they also offer hereditary canc er sc reening for their patients. “The genes we are born with may contribute to our risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer,” said D r. A m i n. “ I f yo u have a family history of cancer, we
can help you understand your risk for disease. We of fer genetic counseling and testing, and can assist you in making info r m e d m e dic al decisions.” One Toms River resident was planning to enroll in a clinical trial in New York Cit y to treat h e r S t ag e 4 lun g c anc er. T he do c tor in NYC advised the patient to see Dr. Agrawal since that same clinical trial was available at NJHOA . It was practically next door and she’d still be able to participate in the trial. It was a win-win, thanks to the practice having a robust clinical trial program. “Some cancer patients may
fear that enrolling in a clinical trial means they might receive a plac ebo or that the treatment might h ave a d ve r s e ef fects, but the reality is that patients in clinical trials receive either the best c a n c e r t r e at m e nt currently known for them or new, and possibly more effective, therapy,” said Dr. Pavlak-Schenk. New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates offers complete cancer care and allows patients to get cutting edge treatment close to home.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of MAY 16 - MAY 22
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can’t hurry love. Avoid coming on too strong if you give someone your undivided attention. If someone is meant to be in your intimate circle, then divine providence may give you a clue in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Rock the boat if you must, but don’t capsize it. You might drop what you’re doing to try something new and surprise someone who thought you’d do something else. Focus on being productive in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Recognize that things you do could have far-ranging effects that you may not have anticipated. Focus on learning something from others and avoid offering your own opinions. Plan wisely to begin key projects late in the week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the coming week you might be exposed to some odd ideas. Thanks to your common sense and a devoted someone who offers a wise assessment, you may not get caught up in anything that would cause you lasting problems. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You recognize a good value when you see it. You might be wise to put terms under a microscope before you make a final decision about a purchase or investment. Better opportunities may arrive as this week unfolds. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be mindful in the upcoming week. You may find the advice or support you need to enrich your life and make a project a success. Avoid making spur-of-the-moment financial decisions or major purchases in the first half of the week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your heart
may be like a roulette wheel, so you can’t always anticipate where your interests will land. In the upcoming week you might see friends in a new light and enjoy spending more time with online social groups. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Insecurities might occasionally well up and undermine your confidence. When someone does or says the unexpected, you might not know which way to turn. In the upcoming week, accept changes with good grace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might be too optimistic about your financial condition in the week ahead. Steer clear of chancy enterprises that might sound like a calculated risk but attract your interest only because they seem exciting. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The pressure from outside influences could provoke you to abandon a pet project. There might not be enough time, or you may be distracted by other priorities as this week unfolds. Focus on making your future better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might remain on edge until you deal with unfinished business. Don’t be distracted by social requests or online meetings with friends in the week ahead. Apply yourself to achieve your dreams of financial security. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The person you are crushing on might not feel the same way. Due to your own romantic yearnings, you might be blind to the feelings of others in the week ahead. If you’re confused it’s because you may not be seeing clearly today.
