By Chris Lundy BARNEGAT – The Township is in the process of selling the old firehouse on East Bay Avenue, although some residents would rather that the township keep it. The building, located at 686 East Bay Ave., was put up for bid. The minimum bid was set at $50,000. The highest responsive bid was $56,551. It was made by H. Kenneth Matthews, 1001 Hawaii Dr. in Forked River. A few residents commented on the sale during

the public portion of the meeting. Since social distancing is required, the town hall is closed to the public and residents email their comments. Amanda Sapp, a resident who lives nearby, asked if the new owner could be required to restore it rather than knock it down. Mayor John Novak, who said he lives near the building, thought that request made sense and had it sent to the new owner. A former committeeman and mayor, Bill (Firehouse - 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 (Homeless - See Page 6)

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Add three more to the roster of county parks that are open for passive recreation. On May 14, these parks were opened to the public: Enos Pond County Park in Lacey, Mill Creek County Park in Berkeley, and Lochiel Creek County Park in Barnegat. “As we continue to follow our plan to gradually reopen all 27 of our County parks, I again want to stress these parks are being reopened for passive recreation only – walking, jogging, hiking, running and similar activities,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, Chairwoman of the Ocean County Depar tment of Parks and Recreation. “Park visitors must maintain social distancing and adhere to the other requirements set in place for the safety of the public and our County staff.” These three are added to the total list of

parks that are now open for passive recreation: Cattus Island County Park, Toms River Township, Cloverdale County Park, Barnegat Township, Tip Seaman County Park, Tuckerton, Wells Mills County Park, Waretown, John C. Bartlett Jr. County Park at Berkeley Island, Jakes Branch County Park, Beachwood, Ocean County Park and Lake Shenandoah County Park, both in Lakewood, Patriots County Park, Jackson Township, and Freedom Fields, Little Egg Harbor Township. The county has also opened the Barnegat Branch Trail and its natural land sites. “Our playgrounds, public bathrooms, nature centers, and pavilions will remain closed to the public as will the dog parks and some other smaller parks,” Haines said. “As per the Governor’s executive order there cannot be any large gatherings, no sporting events, picnics (Parks - See Page 4)

He wanted the Barnegat Historic Preservation Commission to have input in its future. He suggested that the old fi re house could be reworked into a cultural site that can host recreational events. The governing body disagreed. If the

Parks:

County officials said people shouldn’t park on nearby streets or grass to get around that. It defeats the purpose of the social distancing. The Ocean County Sheriff ’s Office and Ocean County Security Department will be patrolling the county facilities. Face coverings should be worn, even at the park, officials said. The parks that have been reopened are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. “We encourage everyone to adhere to the requirements we have put in place to reopen the parks,” she said. “In time we look forward to reopening all of our parks.” They were all closed on March 31 to slow the spread of COVID-19.

building houses arts and cultural events, then it might compete with businesses that are doing the same thing, the mayor said. As for the future of the building, the committee wanted to make sure to spend the township’s tax money wisely. In order to update the building and run programs out of it, money would need to be spent, and Novak said he wasn’t sure if it would be worth the cost to do this for programs that might only benefit a small portion of the population.

“We are the stewards of the public’s resources,” he said. “Some things are best left to the private sector.” Councilman Pasquale Pipi said that people said the building was supposedly worth more than $300,000 but the township received no bids on it when it was priced at $125,000. Business Administrator Martin Lisella said ten potential buyers came to look at the building. “A building is only worth what someone

is willing to pay for it,” he said. He taught real estate assessment in Florida. Based on its square footage, this building could be worth $300,000. However, given how much work would need to be done to make the building usable, the actual cost would be far less. He agreed that the better role for the building would be a business that could breathe new life into it rather than a community center that only a handful of residents would use.

“I believe it’s important to again emphasize that reopening our parks in no way means the coronavirus pandemic is over,” Haines said. “And while we want to provide safe and large open spaces for our residents to spend time outside, especially with warm weather coming, we also want to urge everyone that they need to be mindful of themselves and their neighbors and continue to take precautions at this time including social distancing, washing your hands, wearing face masks and staying home if you are sick.” “We want everyone to enjoy our parks and natural lands safely,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “The health and safety of our residents and visitors is paramount. It’s important that we continue to follow social distancing rules. We all need to remember that our actions don’t affect just us, they affect our family, they affect our health care workers, they affect our emergency responders, they

affect the workers at our grocery stores.” “We need to all continue to do our part to stop the spread of this virus,” Vicari said.

Chamber Members Serve Take Out, Curbside Pickup and Delivery

Athletics There are a few sports that have reopened as well. Golfi ng is available at the two county courses: the Ocean County Golf Course at Atlantis, in Little Egg Harbor Township and Forge Pond County Golf Course in Brick Township. These courses can only be used through a prepaid reservation, Haines said. No groups larger than two will be allowed. “If you want a tee time you need to make a reservation,” Haines said. Golf course hours are from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Singles tennis and pickleball is allowed at Ocean County Park, Lakewood, Jakes Branch County Park, Beachwood and Tip Seaman County Park, Tuckerton.

Homeless:

Continued From Page 1 get them temporary 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/

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.

Renewed Eﬀort To Help Seniors Through Coronavirus Crisis From The Desk Of

Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. − Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) held a virtual question and answer session with more than 1,800 members of A A R P New Jersey where he called for additional assistance for New Jersey’s seniors, especially those in long-term care facilities which have been particularly hard hit by the coronavir us crisis. “In times like this, our senior population can be the most v ulnerable, a nd it’s i mpor t a nt t hat we ex haust ever y effort to make sure their health and well-being is pr ior itized,” said Cong ressman K im. “Ou r long-ter m care facilities have felt the br unt of t h is c r isis; it’s c r it ical t hat we do e ve r y t h i ng we c a n t o s u p p o r t t h e men and women who work hard ever y day – often without enough personal protective equipment – to take care of our seniors.” The issues brought up by members of AARP New Jersey include efforts to improve readiness at senior longterm care facilities across New Jersey, the Congressman’s role on the House

Select Committee on the Coronavir us Crisis, and additional funding from Congress for states, localities and v ulnerable communities. “We applaud Congressman Kim for the work he is doing to pass bipartisan legislation to address the unprecedented public health and economic crisis that is now facing New Jerseyans and all Americans,” said Evelyn Liebman, AARP New Jersey’s Director of Advocacy. “AARP New Jersey is continuing to provide information and resources to help older adults and those caring for them stay informed and stay healthy. We’re honored Congressman Kim was able to join our Telephone Town Hall and connect with listeners in Congressional District 3 for an informative discussion on the coronavir us in New Jersey, resources for residents, and answer questions about the economic stimulus package.” “I want to thank AARP New Jersey and their members for taking time out today to let me hear their priorities,” continued Kim. “I will keep f ighting to ensure Social Security and Medicare are protected, and will work to make sure our seniors have what they need to stay healthy, and weather the economic impact, in these tr ying and troubling times.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE 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. Con-

stitution - 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 @ OceanCounty2020Census 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.

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

COVID-19 Virus, Antibody Tests Available

800-603-CARE PreferredRadio.com

By Chris Lundy LAKEWOOD − Ocean Health Initiatives (OHI) and Chemed will be coming together to offer COVID-19 virus and antibody testing at their Lakewood locations. Ocean Health Initiatives (OHI) will be open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. for testing by appointment only. COVID-19 testing will be performed outdoors at 101 Second Street, Lakewood. Call (732)363-6655 to schedule an appointment. OHI has bilingual staff. CHEMED offers testing Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. by appointment only. Testing will be administered in an outdoor tent in the CHEMED parking lot at 1771 Madison Avenue, Lakewood. Call (732) 364-2144 ext. 1 to schedule an appointment. Antibody tests measure the immune system’s response to an infection. Neg-

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 SARS-CoV-2 infection. Positive results may be due to past or present infection with non-SARSCoV-2 coronavirus strains, such as coronavirus HKU1, NL63, OC43, or 229E. These are causes of the common cold. People who test positive for antibodies are not guaranteed to be free of all virus and therefore may still be able to transmit the virus to others.

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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. 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).

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.

Freeholder Director Says: Don’t Cash Stimulus Check Of Dead Relatives

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.

Omarrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Astrological Forecast For the week of MAY 16 - MAY 22

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capsize it. You might drop what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing to try something new and surprise someone who thought youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confused itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because you may not be seeing clearly today.

Excrement, Lack Of Masks In Parks Concern OďŹ&#x192;cials

By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; State parks are open, but the restrooms are not, causing some people to leave behind disgusting things for parkgoers and park police to fi nd. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;inordinate amountâ&#x20AC;? of urine in bottles and feces left in parks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand that the restrooms are closed,â&#x20AC;? but people should be preparing for that before they leave the house, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a zero tolerance policy for that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to get a warning if we catch you leaving something like that behind,â&#x20AC;? 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 canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t social distance in situations like this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more we can cover up our faces, the better off weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be,â&#x20AC;? he said. This applies to all areas of life, not just parks. Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
