Teachers Get Sweet Treat As Manchester Gift Of Appreciation Residents May Be
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Teachers received a sweet treat of donuts as a token of appreciation for Teacher’s Appreciation Day. The school district’s communications manager Maureen DeSanto noted recently that administration at Lakehurst Elementary School “went out of their way to show appreciation to their staff.” DeSanto said, “Mrs Loren Furhing, superintendent, Dr. Cliff Barneman, Mr. Barry Parliman, and Mrs. Stephanie Rucci all took time out of their busy days to drive to each and ever y teacher and paraprofessional to show their appreciation.” “They drove to every teacher and staff member’s house and dropped off a box of donuts, lottery scratch offs and a card,” DeSanto said. She said they either dropped them off on their porch or rang their doorbell. It didn’t matter where the teachers lived, they traveled to deliver the sweet treat. “We have a teacher in Shamong Township which is over an hour away and to as far south as Manahawkin. They came here to Island Heights they went (Teachers - See Page 9)

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Are Township residents dying out of fear of catching the coronavirus? Some officials believe that might be the case as some alarming statistics came to light recently. The township, which has a large number of seniors in a county that has the largest population of senior citizens in the state has noted a spike in deaths that some officials feel are linked to fear of COVID-19. Between early March and early May, Manchester Police have logged in an 81% increase in DOA (Dead On Arrival) calls compared to that same period in 2019. Such DOAs have been discovered by loved ones or during a wellbeing check. Many who died have had pre-existing health conditions. Dr. James Orlando, interventional cardiologist who was quoted in a local NBC affiliate TV report, said there may be some seniors who are showing symptoms of chest pains and are too afraid to go to their doctor’s office. They are afraid to come to the hospital because they are afraid of the virus. The township’s new EMS service which began in March, has had an alarming number of calls related to people having cardiac or stroke symptoms and EMTs are being told by those patients that they refuse to go to the hospital. This is even after the EMTs or physicians encourage them to go to the hospital. “It is more dangerous to stay home when (Residents - See Page 4)
Officials Watch Virus Numbers At Long Term Care Facilities
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER - Township Councilman Robert Hudak is requesting that the governor’s office investigate a high number of COVID-19 cases at several long-term care facilities. “As you are aware, long term care facilities have been acutely affected by the COVID-19 virus,” Hudak wrote in a letter to
Gov. Phil Murphy. In Manchester, “several of our long-term care facilities appear to have been hard hit. To the public, the numbers appear particularly high in relation to other long-term care facilities.” Hudak’s letter added that “many residents have friends and loved ones in these facilities. These patients are our residents and we need to ensure that they are
receiving the best possible care.” “The Center for Disease Control and Protection has established guidelines to curb the introduction of the virus into these facilities,” he added in his letter. Hudak said in his May 13 letter that in order to protect “our residents in these facilities, I request that the state perform an inspection to ensure that all our residents

are receiving appropriate care. “I am not intimating that these facilities are doing anything improper, however, to the public it appears that some facilities may not be following the required procedures/protocol and an investigation will address the public’s concerns,” Hudak said in the conclusion of his letter. The councilman said in a phone
interview on May 14, that “we have a lot of residents that live in those nursing homes in town and we have a lot of family members whose parents live in these nursing homes in town and there is a lot of concern out there. “You can’t see someone or talk to them on a regular basis.

Residents:
Continued From Page 1 you have symptoms that are cardiac and stroke related,” Police Chief Lisa Parker said during the NBC broadcast. She stressed that patients in such a situation, “really need to go to the hospital.” Dr. Orlando said that prior reports by doctors had stressed to seniors that they needed to remain at home and maintain social distance but now physicians need to tell them that it is all right to come out if they are not feeling well as they need to be seen so they can get the necessary help. The message needs to go out to seniors and Township officials are endeavoring to do just that in a variety of ways.
Officials:
Continued From Page 1 mom because mom is quarantined,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of folks talk to me about the situation.” The councilman said his letter to the governor was a way of being proactive. “I am not saying the nursing homes are doing anything wrong. It isn’t picking on anyone it is just saying, ‘do some testing make sure everyone is doing the procedures properly. Give everyone some peace of mind and that we are doing everything we can do,’”
Councilman Robert Hudak said, “It isn’t just true among seniors but among all of us. We don’t know what the future is going to hold. I’m not a senior but as someone who is older and who has seen many more things, I can imagine what they are feeling. It is a really trying time right now.” Hudak noted that the fear of the unknown is something that causes fear in everyone. “None of us have experienced anything like this. We keep hearing that we are in uncharted territory and that is the truth.” Quoting one of his old professors Hudak said, “it is the unknown unknowns that are the biggest questions out there and it is true. We don’t know what tomorrow is going to hold. That uncertainty breeds anxiety.” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said getting the
message out to the residents of the township’s many senior communities is not easy noting that many are not as technologically savvy with computer skills. He said that while many seniors watch the news, it is still hard to get the information out to them. The mayor and other officials are urging residents to fully evaluate any health scare that includes symptoms related to stroke or heart attack and to make decisions that will be best for their overall wellbeing and not base such decisions entirely on their fear of catching the coronavirus. Township officials urge residents, many of whom are senior citizens, to call 9-11 and go to the hospital if experiencing shortness of breath, consistent fever and flu-like symptoms, chest pain, heart attack
or stroke symptoms. The mayor is requesting residents who are in contact with neighbors, friends and loved ones, to urge them to seek medical assistance if they are experiencing any of these symptoms. “We need to get the word out, especially to the 55+ communities,” Mayor Palmer said. “Not all of our residents follow social media, Facebook or internet news reports, so we are looking for residents to reach out to their neighbors.” Local officials stress that precautions are taken by EMS and hospital professionals to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. If any resident is suffering stroke or heart attack symptoms or other serious medical issues to be evaluated at your local emergency room.
Hudak said. State Heath Commissioner Judith Persichilli however, signed an Executive Directive on May 12, requiring all long-term care facilities in the state to implement testing of staff and residents for the virus by May 26. This Executive Directive provides for retesting of individuals who test negative within 3-7 days to detect those with newly developed infection, and further retesting in according with CDC guidance. Long-term care facilities also have to amend their outbreak plans to include plans for testing and retesting staff and residents,
cohorting of residents who test positive, policies for excluding staff who test positive, and timeframes and requirements for returning to work in accordance with CDC and Department of Health recommendations. Testing of vulnerable residents in longterm care facilities is essential to control the spread of COVID-19 and to identify asymptomatic but positive residents so they can be cohorted based on test results, the state said. Testing health care providers and support staff in all long-term facilities is critical because they may be unknowingly
contributing to the spread of COVID-19. Persichilli said, “we want to collaborate with long-term care facilities to protect their residents and staff. We all have a role to play in this.” There are 90,000 residents in nursing homes and Assisted Living facilities, according to the state. Nearly 26,000 positive cases have been reported from these facilities. The Executive Directive applies to licensed nursing homes, assisted living facilities, dementia care homes, residential health care facilities and comprehensive personal care homes.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Raise The Flags To Full Staff I implore the Governors of the states who have lowered the American Flag and State flags to half-staff to please order the flags back to full staff. While our Governors have the authority to order State and the National flags to half-staff they should be aware that the flag of our Nation is never lowered to half-mast indefinitely or more than 30 days. Our flag is never lowered during a battle, we mourn and honor when the battle is over. To put this into perspective; on Memorial Day, a day we as a nation honor all those who fought and died in our nations wars, we only half mast our flag in tribute for a period from sunrise to noon at which time the flag is returned smartly to full staff where it remains until sunset. This rather brief one day significant honor is all we allow to those who served and died in our nations wars. The lowering of our flag is sacred and has specific limits, purpose and meaning to all those who have served. Its use must not be abused. When the order is received to lower the flag to half mast, depending on the purpose for the lowering, specified periods of mourning and honoring times are mandated and will be carried out accordingly. I feel the ordered lowering of both National and State flags in tribute to the dead from coronavirus, is and was premature at this time because it does not merit nor honor all who will eventually die, as well as those who are
still presently serving to defeat this terrible pandemic. It’s been more than 45 days and we’re still in the thick of it so when does the flag return to full staff? For those who disagree and feel that the victims of this pandemic should be honored now by lowering the flag; thought should be given to a more fitting time after we have won this battle, and after we are well on our way to restore the country back to normal; so that all the heroes and fallen can be properly honored and accounted for. We didn’t raise half-staff fl ags on Iwo Jima or at the World Trade Center disaster; we chose the highest place where all could see who we are, what we’re made of and what we stand for. Truth is, right now is the best time to raise our flags with pride from every home, building, edifice, school, and high lofty place so it can be seen to wave freely as it should to motivate and inspire all those who are “continuing to serve and fall” in this civil battle; and to reassure all of us that we are really in this together and will defeat this unseen scourge with unity, dignity, strength and American determination. American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Veterans, and all Military Service Organizations, where are you on this? Speak up tell the Governors to raise our flag back to full staff. Lt. Edward Sere FDNY Ret. Manchester

Letters To The Editor Has There Been Progress In Helping Homeless? Progress is defi ned as a gradual betterment, a forward or onward movement as to an objective or goal. To understand and appreciate progress, it is necessary to reflect on where we started, to see what changes we have made along the way to accomplish the goal of advancement. For most of us, we all seek progress, to better our lives and the lives of the people around us. Simply put, we seek to leave the world in a better place then we found it. In applying the concept of progress to the homeless in Ocean County, we need to reflect on the past ten to fifteen years. Between 2005 and 2014, the homeless issue in Ocean County was making national headlines because of an area in Lakewood referred to as Tent City. Tent City shined a bright light on Ocean County’s glaring lack of a permanent shelter for the homeless. During its time, Tent City became the County’s makeshift, non-sponsored shelter, as hundreds of people from various municipalities in Ocean County travelled to the woods off Cedarbridge Avenue to seek food, warmth and a place to rest. In 2014, Tent City was closed down. Today, fifteen years after the start of Tent City, the question remains as to what progress we have made in Ocean County in providing shelter to the homeless? In 2020, there still is no permanent shelter for those in need in our county. Tent City has now been replaced by Tent Towns, many smaller homeless encampments spread throughout the woods of municipalities all over Ocean County. Certainly there has been some progress in the past 15 years. We have achieved brief periods of success with the advancement of the Code Blue program, which
Letters To any The Editor opens warming shelters municipality here in that never see the light of when the temperature dips below freezing. But the Code Blue program also demonstrates the need for a permanent year-round facility in Ocean County. In Toms River alone this year, 193 different individuals sought shelter in our Code Blue program. How many more people does it take to demonstrate the need for real progress? Sometimes when municipalities and counties are resistant to change, the law steps in to mandate change that leads to progress. Such was the case just last year in Boise, Idaho, where the federal courts ruled in the case of Martin v. City of Boise, 920 F.3d 584, 616 (2019) that the Eighth Amendment prohibits criminal penalties against homeless individuals for sitting, sleeping or lying outside on public property, when they cannot obtain shelter. One of the homeless plaintiffs in the Martin case was a woman named Janet Bell. Ms. Bell suffered from mental and physical illnesses. She had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, learning disabilities and hepatitis. The Boise police gave her a citation for putting a bedroll in the woods to sleep. She pled guilty and was given a thirty-day suspended jail sentence. In response to Ms. Bell’s challenge to her conviction, the federal court ruled that “so long as there is a greater number of homeless individuals in a jurisdiction than the number of available beds in shelters, the jurisdiction cannot prosecute homeless individuals for involuntarily sitting, lying and sleeping in public. That is, as long as there is no option of sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people for sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false premise they had a choice in the matter.” One might argue that the city of Boise was in a better position to defend itself than
Ocean County, as Boise had at least three shelters at the time of Ms. Bell’s prosecution. The shelters were just at full capacity. What are Ocean County and its municipalities going to say to the courts when inevitably a homeless individual steps up to challenge a prosecution of a local ordinance or statute for sleeping in public after the ruling in the Martin case? Before the law mandates progress here, the County and our municipalities should work together to achieve progress. Most municipalities in Ocean County are probably unaware of the case from Boise, Idaho, but you can be certain that the advocates for those suffering from chronic homelessness are aware of it. We can achieve progress without the need for a Court mandating it first, and in doing so, we will have bettered our lives and the lives of the people around us. Terrance Turnbach Toms River Councilman
Deaths Of Liberties There have been over 1,354,000 American war deaths through 2019 - including almost 500,000 during the Civil War. Over one million, three hundred fifty-four thousand Americans died during war to obtain in some cases (Revolutionary War, Civil War) and protect/preserve our precious freedoms and liberties. None of these people went to war to die; they went to war to live - live in a free country with individual liberties. They (and their surviving families) sacrificed much for freedom and liberty. According to the CDC, each year approximately 600,000+ little babies are killed in the womb at the hands of doctors. It’s not talked about much and seemingly not of concern to the masses, but the fact remains - that’s an awful lot of little beating hearts
day on this earth. More than 600,000. Killed. Per year. Every year. (Even more in previous years.) The very same CDC reports that 48,816 people died from COVID-19 as of 5:49 p.m. April 24, 2020. I am saddened by the deaths of 48,816 from COVID-19 and feel for the loss of those who the dead have left behind. Some of the dead were old - and certainly had every right to live for as long as possible. Some were in poor health due to poor genetics and/or poor choices and/or poor habits - and certainly had every right to live for as long as possible. There have been 48,816 deaths and fear has altered the balance between the power of the government and the power of the people in, of all places, the United States of America while 600,000 innocent deaths (annually) barely rates a conversation anymore. Not counting some 258,000 Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War, over 1,000,000 men and women thought so much of our freedoms and liberties that they not only risked their lives - but sacrificed their lives for the United States of America to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. 48,000 deaths have caused us to lose more freedoms and more liberties in a shorter amount of time, for a greater duration than any of us can ever remember, save perhaps for the brief period immediately after 9-11-01. In the past month have we been as brave as our history claims us to be? Are we as free as our history has earned us to be? The 48,000 deaths has altered, in a bad way, our freedoms and our individual liberties so much and so fast that at least a million who served must be rolling over in their graves! God help the United States of America. John J. Novak Mayor, Barnegat Township (Written as a resident, not representing the township)

Kim, Pallone And Menendez Introduce Bill To Help Superstorm Sandy Recovery
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03) and Congressman Frank Pallone (NJ-06) introduced the Security After Sandy Act, a bill that would forgive debt owed to the federal government by municipalities and homeowners recovering from Superstorm Sandy. Senator Menendez will introduce a companion bill in the Senate. “New Jersey is recovering from two crises right now; the impact of COVID-19 on our state and the lingering effects of Superstorm Sandy. It’s time we took action to help our local mayors and homeowners to give them a fighting chance to stay on their feet during these historically tough times,â€? said Congressman Kim. “I want to thank Chairman Pallone, Senator Menendez and our local oďŹƒcials throughout Ocean County who have all come together to craft this important bill. I know together, we’ll fight to give our neighbors the relief they need.â€? “Our communities and residents faced extraordinary fi nancial strain as a result of Superstorm Sandy’s devastation. The coronavirus pandemic has only exacerbated the economic outlook for many of our communities that are still working to recover from Sandy’s destruction. The Security After Sandy Act will forgive Community Disaster Loans still owed by towns from Superstorm Sandy and provide relief for families facing ‘clawbacks’ for government aid received during the disaster,â€? said Congressman Pallone. “This financial relief will go a long way to help hardworking New Jersey families who are still recovering
from Sandy and to aid our municipalities who are facing budget shortfalls as they provide critical services to New Jerseyans during the pandemic.� “As New Jerseyans and the communities they call home struggle to flatten the curve and fight this pandemic, the last thing they should have to worry about is facing federal government clawbacks from the assistance they needed to recover from a previous natural disaster like Superstorm Sandy,� said Sen. Menendez. “With expenses soaring to combat COVID-19 and revenues drying up due to the necessary emergency shutdown orders, communities need to prioritize their limited resources to keeping their residents safe and maintaining essential services. It’s equally unconscionable for the federal government to claw back millions in aid from Sandy survivors still struggling to rebuild their lives as unemployment skyrockets and the economy falling deeper into recession. The least the federal government can do at this trying time is to alleviate this unnecessary to burden to returning life back to normal.� The Security After Sandy Act provides direct relief to communities by forgiving all Community Disaster Loans (CDLs) from January 1, 2006 to January 1, 2020, which includes all Sandy loans. The CDL program supports local governments with significant tax and other major revenue losses after major disasters. While the program provided critical emergency support for many communities after Sandy, the loan (Recovery - See Page 9)

They wanted to express to them that we wouldn’t know what to do without them.” “It was very thoughtful of the administration to do that. To go all that way and hand deliver it,” she added. “The first teacher got their first delivery at 9 a.m. and that was the one that was the furthest away over in Shamong.” Earlier during the pandemic conditions teachers and students combined efforts to create a video about meeting the remote learning conditions. Other projects are also in development. “On May 15 teachers chose 10 to 30 seconds of a song to dance to and they were recorded dancing and now we have a dance compilation,” DeSanto said. “We tried to do a Lakehurst Got Talent

The Manchester Times, May 23, 2020, Page 9 but we haven’t much success with that yet,” DeSanto said with a laugh. “A few teachers contributed to that.” The current school year for the district ends on June 15. Like all school systems, the school year will not resume to physical instruction and will remain remote learning in accordance to Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order. “We are all logged in daily on Google Guardian. The students have access to us 8 a.m. to 12. We’ve been keeping busy,” DeSanto said. While the kindergarten to 8th district sends its high school students to the Manchester Township school district, normally the district would be holding a pre-school graduation, a sixth grade promotion and an 8th grade graduation. There is no information available yet on how such observances will occur this year but it is expected that there will be some online format involved in lieu of the pandemic conditions.

ping any further recoupment efforts for debt owed to the federal government in relation to Sandy and other major declared disasters between 2006 and 2020. These recoupment efforts, also known as “clawbacks”, have blindsided many, because it was under the federal government’s own recommendation that many New Jersey residents applied for loans and benefits offered by various federal programs without clear guidance on repayment terms and contingencies.

COVID-19 Pandemic Cancels Manchester Summer Camp
MANCHESTER – As each month passes during this pandemic, officials in the Manchester Recreation department spend each day waiting to hear if and when the restrictions will be lifted for large gatherings. If and when the restrictions are lifted, there doesn’t seem to be a viable way they can guarantee everyone’s safety and main-
tain social distancing among campers and staff. As a result, the Mayor and Township Administration have made the difficult decision for the safety of everyone involved to cancel summer camps for the 2020 summer season. Officials said they hope to offer the summer camp program again in the summer of 2021.

−Photo courtesy Manchester Police MANCHESTER – The police department took a moment on Facebook to honor and remember the life and service of Patrolman Robert Tobias. It was 45 years ago this week, May 17th, 1975, that Patrolman Tobias made the ultimate sacrifice for his community. Only a year into his law enforcement career, he was struck and killed by a drunk driver while
conducting a traffic stop on State Highway 70. Patrolman Tobias was only 23 years old. Since his tragic passing, many men and women have proudly worn the gray and blue uniform of the Manchester Township Police Department, and each one of them carries, always, the memory of Badge #1770.

−Photo courtesy Whiting Fire Company Station 33 By Jason Allentoff MANCHESTER – Authorities are now investigating the cause of a fast-moving brush fire that charred up close to 100 acres before it was contained. A Nixle alert was sent out shortly after the blaze started around 8 a.m. Sunday, May 17. Crews from the Whiting Fire Company and the State Forest Fire service were dispatched to the Harry Wright Boulevard section of town. At that point, only 20 acres had burned. According to a Facebook post from Whiting
Fire Company Station 33, crews aggressively went to work but with dry conditions, continued burning and spreading. The fire never reached residential structures near the area. In the end, a total of 99 acres were consumed by the fire and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department along with Manchester Police are handling the probe. The Forked River Fire Department, Ocean County Fire Coordinator and the Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office aided in the firefighting efforts.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
The New Normal According To Dr. Izzy
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 732818-3610. 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

Popular Medications Are Derived From Plants
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Most people believe that medications are synthetic substances that the FDA has approved for the clinical treatment of disorders, without realizing they were derived from a plant. Thousands of FDA-approved medications began as natural plants and flowers! You may not realize this, but no morphing and patenting is necessary… the natural plants actually provided what humans needed for eons. Only recently have we begun to turn them into patented chemicals by altering their original form. But their original form is available as herbal medicine, and sold in health food stores nationwide. Maybe not in all cases like morphine, but certainly in thousands of examples. The beautiful opium plant ultimately led to powerful natural analgesics (think of opium, codeine and morphine) that scientists took to a lab and chemically morphed into patentable (but more potent and addictive) synthetic “opiates” the most infamous of which is oxycodone. But again, the raw material that was sourced originally from the Earth provided good medicine to begin with. Another example is penicillin which was derived from a fungus growing on an agar plate which was accidentally left out on the laboratory counter. The mold was quite visible to scientists. The mold of penicillin had killed the bacteria that was growing on the agar plate. In other words, many antibiotics are fungus based, and they can kill bacteria. Before drug companies made a bazillion dollars with aspirin, we did have white
willow, which was (and still is) the natural pain killer hidden within the white willow tree’s bark. The active ingredient that acts as medicine is called salicin. When you use the herb, the salicin gets metabolized in your body to form salicylic acid which is even stronger. There is another compelling story I can share with you about digoxin. This compound naturally occurs in the Foxglove plant (Digitalis purpurea). Centuries ago, people used to put these plant chemicals on the tip of their arrowheads in order to kill people. Quinine is derived from a plant. From quinine we get hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) which may be useful for certain patients with COVID-19, depending on when it is given, and the dose. The Cinchona tree in Peru gave us quinine. Paclitaxel (Taxol) is the most popular chemotherapy drugs for ovarian, esophageal, breast cancer, lung cancer, Kaposi sarcoma, cervical cancer, pancreatic cancer and others. It is derived from the beautiful Pacific Yew tree. And finally, we should talk about cocaine. This was used by the Incas 3,500 years ago to produce anesthesia. It came from the Coca plant (Erythroxylon coca) and was widely available. Hard to believe! There was a time and place before some of us were born, when natural compounds from plants were widely used in our food, beverages and pharmacies. Older pharmacists don’t even recognize the big stores today with drive-up windows! It is so very different than those apothecaries that used Mother Earth’s original medications, not the mass-produced synthetic ones.

Inside The Law Commercial Rent Payments And The Coronavirus
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many commercial tenants are asking whether they are excused from making rent payments if the tenant’s business has been impacted or shut down by as a result of the coronavirus. In particular, they are asking whether a force majeure clause often found in commercial leases, excuses the tenant from having to pay rent. A force majeure clause in commercial leases generally relieve the performance of a party because of an unforeseeable circumstance beyond the control of the parties to the lease which causes a party not to be able to perform under the lease. The term “force majeu re” usu ally mea ns a n event that could not have been reasonably anticipated, or which, if anticipated, could not be controlled. Force majeure clauses are added to leases to excuse a party’s performance under the lease in cases of natural disasters or “acts of God,” such as hurricanes, f loods, earthquakes, etc. The answer to this question depends on the terms of the commercial lease. Does the lease contain a force majeure clause? If so, does the clause specifically address the issue as to the payment of rent. In many, if not most, force majeure clauses the obligation to pay rent is not forgiven in the case of an event that is beyond the control of the parties. Thus, the commercial lease must be reviewed to see whether it contains a force majeure clause and what is excused or not excused under that clause.
New Jersey courts h a v e t r a d i t i o n a l l y Marc S. Galella Esq. been very reluctant to allow force majeure clauses to excuse the perfor mance of one party to a commercial lease and especially to excuse the payment of rent under the lease. Courts look to see whether the event should have been anticipated by the parties and addressed in the lease. Not all unforeseen events are subject to the force majeure clause. The lease would need to be reviewed as to whether the shutdown of a business by the government is an event that is covered by the force majeure clause. In addition, the coronavirus may not be considered an “act of God” if a court determines if it should have been foreseen in the drafting of the lease. As you can see, there is no definite answer to the question of whether a force majeure clause excuse the non-payment of rent by a tenant. Tenants and landlords should consult with their attorneys to review their commercial leases and determine whether the lease contains a force majeure clause and, if so, whether the force majeure excuses the payment of rent by the tenant. If the payment of rent is excused, what are the terms for the non-payment of rent? Please note that the discussion above pertains only to commercial leases. Force majeure clauses are not typically found in residential leases.

“LOVE THE SHOW!” - Anne, Lakewood
By Chris Lundy LAKEWOOD – Workers at Ocean Health Initiatives thanked members of the community for the lunch provided in appreciation for the free COVID-19 tests they’ve been doing. The meal was a combined effort between Lakewood Church Family, Lakewood Wrestling Team, Vida City Church and Love Your Neighbor Association. Oscar, teacher and coach of the wrestling team, made empanadas and other food, and also coached a team of volunteers. It
was sponsored by Missionary Pentecostal Church (Vida City Church) and Love Your Neighbor Association. Ocean Health Initiatives (OHI) is offering free COVID virus and antibody testing to qualified residents in the community at 101 Second Street in Lakewood. Testing is done in the parking lot. They are open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Visit ohinj.org or call (732) 363-6655 for more information or to schedule an appointment. Bilingual staff are available.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Staying Strong & Connected With The Ocean County YMCA
TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County YMCA in Toms River, which is now celebrating its 50th Anniversary, addresses COVID-19 health concerns by offering virtual programming and new #StayingWithUs initiative. “At the Y, we are committed to ensuring social distancing does not become social isolation,” said Peter Rosario, President and CEO of the Ocean County YMCA. “During these unprecedented times, we have created virtual content through Zoom, YouTube and Facebook Live to continue engaging with members and promote healthy living. You can also update your Facebook profile image with our new profile frame to let everyone know that you’re #StayingWithUs.” The Ocean County YMCA has also increased phone outreach initiatives to protect the wellbeing of its most vulnerable members. “By continuing to promote healthy living and social connectedness, we are impacting the future by ensuring continued positive outcomes for preventing things such as senior isolation,” said Rosario. Carol, a member of the Ocean County YMCA, recently said, “You have no idea what it means to us that we can still see each other’s faces. We need to thank you so much for thinking and caring for all of us in this creative way.” The Ocean County YMCA is offering virtual classes such as yoga, fitness classes, story time and book/crochet club. Those interested can take part in the Ocean County YMCA’s virtual programming by visiting ocymca.org or the Ocean County YMCA’s Facebook page (@OCYMCA). “We would like to extend our gratitude to the Grunin Foundation for providing us with access to Zoom accounts so that we are able to offer virtual programming to the community,” said Rosario. The Ocean County YMCA is also creating specific content to promote physical activity, and S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) projects among youth at a time when they too are lacking their normal educational structure, physical activity and social supports. “Developing activities and exercise for children and families to share is changing outcomes and creating new ways to educate and promote fitness at home,” said Michael P. Ritacco, Board of Directors Chair of the Ocean County YMCA. The Ocean County YMCA is continuing its ongoing partnership with Fulfi ll (formerly the Food Bank of Monmouth
Page 21
and Ocean Counties), and the YMCA staff is packaging and distributing meals to those experiencing food insecurity. “The number of requests for Crisis Relief Boxes have doubled in one week,” Ritacco said. “This allows the YMCA to provide a safety net for its community’s most vulnerable populations.” Looking to the future, the Ocean County YMCA will continue to work to advance its cause and strengthen the community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. “The Y is committed to bringing strength to our community in good times and bad,” said Rosario. “Together, we are stronger!” For more information, call JoAnn at 732847-2071 or email jkermick@ocymca.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of may 23 - may 29 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your week ahead could include a profusion of confusion. Be alert to potential hackers or phishing scams, and don’t click on email links or give out personal information. Reassure any loved ones who have doubts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Apologize if you make a mistake or commit some slip-up. If you and loved ones can agree to disagree, your week to come will run more smoothly. Don’t go on a spending spree thinking it will solve a problem. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone may tell you only what you want to hear. Check the facts twice before embarking on new enterprises in the upcoming week. Someone who is demanding or is dealing with an emotional issue could drain your energy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You or a family member could be subject to online tricks, misleading offers or false advertising. Change your passwords and update your security applications so that you can rest easy in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You might not recognize which people have your best interests at heart. Any skepticism may prevent you from making an advantageous choice. As this week unfolds, focus on being responsible as well as reasonable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get it while you can. If you ask for forgiveness or assistance, your wish might be fulfilled. Don’t be surprised if you find hidden strings attached to a purchase or investment in the week ahead that changes your mind.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your social life could be at a low point. If you become bored or restless, your imagination might go into overdrive. Wishful thinking could cause you to be misled by someone in the week ahead, so be alert for tricks. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Rein in any roving desire for romance. Keep your money in your pocket and your mind sharp. In the week to come, make decisions based on facts and don’t rely on others to guide your hand. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll run fewer risks if your cash and credit card remain safely tucked away in your wallet. Avoid making an issue of someone’s hedging during the week ahead to preserve the tranquility of a valued relationship. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are probably feeling good about yourself and welcome some new activities as this week begins to unfold, but remain aware of your fiscal and social responsibilities. Take advantage of a chance for fun that costs little. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may see evidence of your need to work harder as this week unfolds. It might be pointed out that you have not always made the most of your time. Put a hold on major expenditures until you are more comfortable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Out of sight, out of mind. This is a good week to maintain a low profile and steer clear of misunderstandings. Your intuition could be less accurate than usual in the upcoming week, and you may want to be out of the loop in social situations.
