patrolling to put out bags to feed the needy. Jackson Kiwanis President Jeff Domenick initiated the project that he’s hoping spreads faster than a fire to other communities. The
program is just another in a long line of projects that have paired up the local service organization with members of the Whitesville Fire Company.
Jackson Police Promoted
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Police Chief Matthew Kunz recently promoted several members of the Township Police Department. Chief Kunz joined members of the Jackson Police Depar tment in promoting the officers to new
assig n ments earlier this month. The newly promoted officers will fill vacancies left by the recent retirements of Captain R ichard Wagner and Sergeants Arthur Salisbury and Trevor Crowley. Lt. John Giovanetti has been promoted to the rank of Captain.
Capt. Giovanetti was hired by the agency in 1999 and has served as a patrol officer on various shifts and as a detective. He served in supervisory roles as a shift supervisor and most recently as the Commander for the Alpha Patrol Platoon.
Giovanetti has been assigned as the Uniformed Services Division Commander and is also involved in the radio update project for the Township. Sgt. John McBride has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Lt. McBride began his (Police - See Page 4)
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – The township is facing another lawsuit. The community is already facing several lawsuits regarding development issues involving the Orthodox Jewish community and it was reported on May 20, that the Justice Department filed their own lawsuit against the township. It alleges that Jackson officials implemented zoning ordinances that intentionally restrict the operation of religious schools and housing associated with such schools, including religious boarding schools known as yeshivas, required by the Orthodox Jewish community. The complaint alleges that Jackson officials passed two ordinances, and the planning board applied those ordinances in a manner that discriminated against the Orthodox Jewish community, in violation of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA) and the Fair Housing Act (FHA). Both ordinances expressly prohibit dormitories throughout Jackson, making it impossible for religious boarding schools such as Orthodox Jewish yeshivas to be built there. While Jackson passed these ordinances to prevent dormitories anywhere in the township, the suit states that the planning board has since approved, without requiring a variance, the plans for two nonreligious projects with dormitory-type housing. The Jackson Council introduced a measure

Protestors Call For Governor To End COVID-19 Restrictions By Bob Vosseller POINT PLEASANT BEACH – When news of the protesters spread online, some called them freedom fighters while others called them foolish but a thousand or more people came out in red, white and blue on Memorial Day to have their voices heard. Protestors gathered at a borough
parking lot on Memorial Day morning wanting the state to lift stay at home orders and other restrictions concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers and attendees of the event came out early to the Silver Lake Parking Lot - Arnold Avenue and Ocean Avenue as part of a “Freedom March of New Jersey” which (Protestors - See Page 7)

Kiwanis:
Continued From Page 1 Kiwanis members joined firefighters May 23 at the firehouse to put out bags for donations and to collect those donations of food that would then go to the Jackson Food Pantry. Domenick said, “it is strange times we are living in right now. We are fortunate to have a lot of good people in our group. We are excited. Everyone saw on social media and other media outlets what we were planning. Bradley Beach did something like this very early on in the pandemic.” He said the idea came up from that project. “We all saw what Bradley Beach did as a town in conjunction with their fire department. Who doesn’t love a firetruck?” “I’m 41 years old and every time we have our meetings at the Whiteville Firehouse every third Thursday, I go out and look at the firetrucks. I’m an adult and love firetrucks, the kids love firetrucks and an integral part of our community, is the fire department along with the police department,” Domenick said. Teams of people went out with three different fi re trucks and a dump truck. Kiwanis members “walked the beat street after street” – all collecting for a good cause. Domenick is asking residents to leave non-perishable food as well as toiletries at the end of their driveway in bags so it is contactless in maintaining the governor’s orders of social distancing. “We’re going to walk the streets and whoever chooses to participate as far as residents go, we will grab the items place them back of the pickup truck, sort them out and bring them to local food pantries. The Jackson Food Pantry, Fulfill in Toms River and Neptune, and any food pantry locally that need non perishables as well as toiletries,” Domenick added. On the day of the effort, a few people stopped off to the firehouse before the tour of the town began. Kathleen Gibson was one of those people who came wearing her mask and dropping off some bags of non-perishable items. “I live in Toms River but I was born
and bred in Jackson and lived right off of Veterans Highway. When I heard about this I knew I had to help,” Gibson said. “We’ve always had a wonderful working relationship with the Kiwanis Club for at least 15 years that I’ve been here and I’m sure it’s gone on longer than that,” Whitesville Fire Co. Asst. Fire Chief Tim Flemming said. “They run pancake breakfasts here as well as their meetings at the firehouse.” Flemming said he was happy to see the fire company “help out with this.” His brother, Martin Flemming Jr. is the department’s chief and he was part of the day’s effort driving along in the chief’s vehicle to bring attention to residents. Their father, Martin Flemming was also there but prefaced “I’m here not as a councilman but just as a member of the fire company to help out. This is a great project.” “We will be continuing this. At first we were going to go weekly but we thought weekly might be a little tough with getting the word out to people. We will do a bi-weekly effort in different sections of Jackson. We’ll put it out in social media posts. We took it a step further to list the streets so people know,” Domenick said. Domenick noted that the schedule was in direct correlation to the department’s course when Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny comes out for visits. “This is the route they take and each fire department does their respective route. In working with Whitesville, their bunny patrol is what we used to base our routes off of.” “You never know, Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny may make an appearance over these weeks. One never knows,” Domenick said. He added that while the project could have been organized to have a contactless drop off center, by getting the fire departments involved and their respective company members and Kiwanis members it was a way “to send out the message that we are all in this together. That the residents have the support of other residents and the local fire department and we all love fire trucks.” “This gives people something to look forward to. Something different as it is a very monotonous world right now. A very Groundhog Day world,” he added.

Continued From Page 1 during its May 12, meeting to repeal the two 2017 ordinances that pertain to dormitories and specific zoning for where schools can be built. A public hearing on the repeal of those two ordinances will be held during the council’s May 26 meeting. The ordinances were described by township officials and by Township Attorney Gregory McGuckin as being redundant and unnecessary as the cause of why they were now being repealed. It was noted that the ordinances could put the township in a vulnerable legal position during the May 12 meeting. “I have not yet seen the lawsuit so I can’t comment on it,” McGuckin said when asked for a statement on behalf of the township on May 20. U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said “religious discrimination has no place in our society and runs counter to the founding principles of our nation. No religious community should ever face unlawful barriers or be singled out for inferior treatment. This complaint reflects our continued commitment to combat discrimination and unequal treatment.” Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Eric Dreiband said “using zoning laws to target Orthodox Jewish individuals for intentional discrimination and exclude them from a community is illegal and utterly incompatible with this Nation’s values. Let me be clear. The Department of Justice will use the full force of its authority to stop such anti-Semitic conduct and

law enforcement career with the Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Department after serving in the United States Navy and was hired by Jackson in 1999. McBride has served as a patrol officer on various shifts and most recently as a shift supervisor. He has been assigned as the Commander for the Alpha Patrol Platoon. He is also currently serving with United States Air Force Reserves. Police Officer Frank Cipully has been promoted to the rank of Sergeant. Sgt.

prevent its recurrence.” The complaint also alleges that the township and planning board enacted the ordinances “with respect to religious dormitories against a backdrop of extreme animus by Jackson residents and township decision makers toward the Orthodox Jewish community and a movement by residents to keep Orthodox Jewish community members from settling in Jackson.” According to the complaint, the township and planning board’s actions towards the Orthodox Jewish community violate RLUIPA’s non-discrimination and equal terms provisions, as well as the FHA. RLUIPA is a federal law that protects religious institutions from unduly burdensome or discriminatory land use regulations. In June 2018, the Justice Department announced its Place to Worship Initiative, which focuses on RLUIPA’s provisions that protect the rights of houses of worship and other religious institutions to worship on their land. More information concerning RLUIPA available at justice.gov/crt/placetoworship. The Department of Justice announced in July 2018, the formation of the Religious Liberty Task Force. The Task Force brings together department components to coordinate their work on religious liberty litigation and policy, and to implement the Attorney General’s 2017 Religious Liberty Guidance. The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly Horan Florio of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Civil Rights Unit, and Trial Attorney Beth Frank, U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Housing and Civil Enforcement Section. Police Officer Joseph Candido has been promoted to the rank of Sergeant. Sgt. Candido began his law enforcement career with the New Jersey Department of Corrections and was hired by Jackson in 1999. Candido has served as a patrol officer on various shifts, as a Field Training Officer for newly hired officers, a member of the department’s Traffic Safety Unit who was responsible for investigating serious and fatal motor vehicle crashes and also as the president for P.B.A. Local 168. Capt. Steven Laskiewicz, the department’s Investigations Division Commander said, “We congratulate the officers on their promotions and wish them the best in their new positions. We’d also like to thank the Township Administration for their commitment to staffing needed positions in the agency and look forward to other promotions in the future as the agency prepares to serve the township’s growing population and call volume.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER A Scammer Called; Here’s What They Said Recently I received a very disturbing call from a scam artist. I only answered the call because it said “No Caller ID” and a certain department at Deborah Hospital has called me a few times this way. (Please Note: I am not suggesting that Deborah had anything to do with the subsequent scam! I am only explaining now why I even answered a call that displayed the words “No Caller ID” in the first place. More on Deborah later.) Anyway, the scam artist verified my name and said my daughter was in a very serious auto accident. My heart started pounding as he said she was okay, but she admitted fault and could possibly go to jail because the other party was seriously injured. At that point my head took over from my pounding heart and I began to ask the man questions which betrayed my suspicions and skepticism. My blood pressure seemed to drop each time the scammer answered a question which proved he was lying. When it became totally, irrefutably obvious that he was scamming me, my heart started pounding again and I used some words which I’m not proud of, sinful words which I’ve confessed to the Lord, to tell him off. My daughter is totally okay and never had an accident, of course, and I’m sure that somewhere in this scam the caller was going to ask me for money to help my daughter. (What I am NOT sure of is why the caller targeted me in the first place...perhaps because I’m a senior living in Whiting, and he thought I’d be easy prey.) This scam is despicable. I thought of alerting our excellent
police department about it but A.) I’m sure they’re aware of it, B.) There’s not much they can do about the situation, as the perp hides behind a phone number which cannot be called back (I tried.) And, C.) They have other things to focus on. So, I thought it might be helpful to area seniors if I shared my experience here in your fine newspaper. Beware of scammers! As for Deborah, again, they had nothing to do with the potential scam, but if they didn’t inexplicably have a number which read “No Caller ID” I would never have taken this call to begin with. Who has ever heard of a hospital that has a number with “No Caller ID”? Not me. I answered the scam call thinking that maybe they (Deborah) was calling to reschedule my appointment from June up to May, now that the Governor seems to be relaxing restrictions a bit. Perhaps Deborah should re-think their “No Caller ID” number because a lot of seniors use Deborah and it could leave an opening for scam artists to call and get a “live” audience. After all, these kinds of “heart tests” like the one I got are certainly NOT the kind that they want to be associated with, I’m sure! On some calls, my caller ID says “Potential Spam” and I immediately decline those. Maybe Verizon can come up with a “Potential SCAM” warning? But it would help greatly if every legitimate institution refrained from having a department with “No Caller ID” so that scammers can’t exploit an opening to gain a hearing. Chet Jelinski Whiting

Remember All The Heroes This Memorial Day In Faraway Lands And Your Own Town Ever y cr isis has new heroes. During the 9/11 at t ack s, t hey were t he first responders running into burning and crumbling buildings as others ran out. Now, during the coronavirus pandemic, the most visible heroes are the health care professionals, who are saving others and risking their own lives while doing so. These heroes have much in common with the people that we honor today – America’s fallen veterans. They are men and women who have sacrificed their own lives so others could live. They are both elite and ordinar y. They are elite in the sense of character. Giving you r life so others could live is the ultimate definition of selfless. They are ordinary in the fact that they represent the diverse fabric of our country. They are rich and poor, bla ck a nd wh it e, male and female. They come from every ethnicity and background. In short, they looked like anyone of us. A s we c elebr at e t he selfless and untiring performances of the healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, it brings to mind the military medics, doctors and nurses who sacrificed their lives while treating others on the battlefield. One such hero was Pharmacist Mate Third Class Jack Williams. The Navy Reser ve cor psman was only 20 years old when he landed on Iwo Jima 75 years ago. On March 3, 1945, James Naughton, a Mar ine in Wi l l i a m s’ u n it , wa s wounded by a grenade. While under intense enemy fire, Williams dragged Naughton to a shallow depression and treated his wounds. Williams used his own body as a screen and was shot four times. Yet he continued.
After he treated Naughton, Williams dressed his own wounds. He then proceeded to treat another Marine, despite his own immense pain. While heading to the rear, he was hit by a sniper’s bullet and killed. For his actions, Petty Officer Williams was awarded the Medal of Honor. We also remember Army veterans like Lieutenant Sharon Lane. According to her biographer, Philip Bigler, Lt. Lane threw herself into her work as a nurse. While serving in Colorado, she requested a t ransfer to Vietnam. “There, at least, you are busy 12 hours a day, six or seven days a week,” she said in a 1968 letter to her parents. Her dedication was obvious, even as she treated enemy Viet Cong soldiers who would return the favor by kicking, cursing and spitting at their American captors. In the early morning of Ju ne 8, 1969, Sharon’s t ou r of dut y e nde d. A Soviet-built rocket struck the hospital. Lieutenant Sharon A. Lane was killed in action at age 25. If she were still here, her skills as a nurse might still be benefiting us during the current crisis. But not all of the heroes working during the COVID-19 pandemic are in the healthcare industr y. Grocers, first responders, delivery workers and drive-through restaurant employees are just a few of the many people that we rely on to provide vital services for society while risking their own safety. The military also has heroes in every occupational field. Truck drivers, cooks and administrative clerks have all paid the ultimate price. At sea, on land or in the air – military service requires great risk. Roy Knight, Jr. was a
pilot in the U.S. Air Force. On May 19, 1967, he was shot down while attacking a target on the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos. He was posthumously promoted to colonel. Last year, a joint team from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency discovered and later identified Col. Knight’s remains. When his remains arrived at Dallas’s Love Field, a crowd had gathered to witness the dignified transfer of the flag-draped casket from the Southwest Airlines jet into the receptive arms of the military honor guard. One observer reported that the entire crowd fell silent. The Southwest f light was piloted by another Air Force veteran, Col. Knight’s son, Bryan. Bryan Knight was only fiveyears-old when he said goodbye to his father as the elder Knight left for Vietnam. This is yet another legacy that these heroes leave behind. A legacy that includes their sons, daughter s, g r iev i ng pa rent s, grandparents and friends. Their heroic acts are sometimes performed to protect those with whom they serve. Corporal Jason Dunham was a squad leader with the Third Batt al ion , 7t h Ma r i nes i n Iraq. On April 14, 2004, his squad approached a Toyota Land Cruiser. After his squad discovered AK-47s in the vehicle, the enemy insurgent exited and engaged in hand-to-hand fighting with the unit. The driver dropped a grenade. To save his fellow Marines, Corporal Dunham made the ultimate sacrifice. He threw himself on the grenade and tried to use his helmet to shield the blast. Severely wounded by t he g rena de’s f r agments, Cpl. Dunham was taken off life-support eight
days later. Corporal Dunham died so other Marines could live. He, too, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his gallantry. Approximately one million men and women of the U.S. military have lost their lives in defense of our nation since the founding of this great Republic. Not all have died from enemy fire. Some have died from diseases that have too often festered around war zones. Often times, deaths from disease and accidents outnumbered casualties caused by enemy weapons. D u r i n g t h e Sp a n i s h A mer ican War, 60 soldiers of the all-black 24th Infantry Regiment volunteered to serve as nurses. Thirty-six of them would later die of yellow fever or malaria. A generation later, the flu would kill nearly 16,000 U.S. soldiers in France during World War I. Another 30,000 American servicemembers died in stateside camps. These men a nd women could have isolated safely in t hei r home s. But t hey knew they had an important job to do. A mission to accomplish. They were all on a mission to serve. Eve n whe n t he e ne my is an invisible virus or a microscopic ger m, the sacrif ices made are just as meaningful. The U.S. military has already lost ser vicemembers to COVID-19. This Memorial Day as we continue to honor those who fell for us in battle, let’s also pause to remember those who have also sacrificed their lives while serving others. May God bless them and may God bless you for remembering them here today. Thank you. The American Legion National Headquarters

Protestors:
Continued From Page 1 kicked off at 11 a.m. and lasted until 4 p.m. The protest that was created on Facebook by a group opposed to the lockdown, ReopenNJ, have been pushing for Gov. Phil Murphy to lift restrictions regarding social distancing and closing non-essential businesses. Ryan Christopher and Jessica Courtney are the administrators of ReopenNJ. “We started this group less than two months ago with just the idea of bringing together a community that could help inform each other and stand up for our freedom and our rights,� Christopher said. “We have since taken a lot of heat for standing up for what we believe in from family and others alike. We are considering camping in front of Murphy’s place on the sidewalk. Since his order made us homeless it would only seem right,� said Christopher. Christopher added, “luckily we have a very supporting community here in ReopenNJ that has helped us with a place to stay and are currently helping donate to our fund to keep us going.� He added, “regardless of what comes our way we will never stand down or silence our voices and the voices of the many New Jersians who stand tall with us.� Christopher said his group wished to see a strong focus on the business owners “who are opening and rising against these insane orders while still opening safely. We gain courage from the courage of every member who speaks their voice.� Philadelphia singer, Brianna Taylor from ABC TV’s American Idol and MTV’s The Real World: Hollywood kicked off the event by singing the national anthem. She sang several other songs during the afternoon. “We can have fun celebrating our liberty today. Sing along everyone,� she said. A DJ who was scheduled for the event was not able to perform. Borough police told an event organizer that this would go contrary to the town’s noise ordinance. Police also noted that no permit for the rally had been required. Most attendees expressed concern about the economic health of the country, particularly small businesses that have had
The Jackson Times, May 30, 2020, Page 7 to shut down and have been hurt by coronavirus guidelines. Others were skeptical of the impact of the pandemic. Others felt the country should never have been shut down and cited the Constitution as being violated by the governor. They called his actions an overreach of authority. Michele Viventi of Brick came out with her 14-year-old son Ben Sluka with the sign they made for the protest. She said, “I don’t believe the country should have been shut down in the first place. I don’t believe the virus is a hoax. I just think that the measures that have been taken were way too severe.� She added, “it is a shame that a true virus has been so politicized. The CDC going back and for th on their mask guidelines. I think it would be better to say we’re not sure what the correct way to handle this is based on what happened in Italy. It has become so divisive.� Another early arrival to the event were Wendy and Steve Servio who traveled from Essex County for the rally. “We should allow these small businesses to open up. This is hurting them. I respect the virus,� Wendy Servio said. Another North Jersey attendee was Steven Freeman of Sussex County. “I think some choices were made at the beginning of this based on a lot of unknowns. I think a lot of data has come out that has shown the risk really outweighs the benefit of having these draconian measures. Businesses are failing right now. A lot of places by me are closing down. I currently am working thankfully by the grace of God.� Brick resident Jason Carey, sported a Jesus T-shirt and a MAGA hat for the event saying, “I am here for these fellows, the business people. I care for their right to have their business open. It is about their right to have their business. Shutting down businesses is what is unconstitutional especially over a fake virus that kills one percent of people. I have COVID. They banned me from the police department so I can’t go there to infect them. This is my third protest in three weeks.� Some onlookers thought the protest was a rally for President Donald Trump’s re-election. One reason for that was Michael Shapiro of Belleville who came d ressed in a st ar-spangled suit and
 � �� � �  �
had a booth area with plenty of Trump merchandise to sell. “Politics and the pandemic, it is Memorial Day. You have to make the best of it right?� Trump flags were going for $25 a pop but many protestors came prepared with their own flags for the event. Those flags and hats associated with the president weren’t hard to find. Some, like Kelly and Bill Murphy of Toms River felt that the mix of politics and a pandemic weren’t appropriate. They carried a sign showing a deceased relative who served in the military and died in Korea. “Today this is about opening up the state of New Jersey. I disagree that the Trump stuff, not that we are against him, should be here today,� Bill Murphy said. He added, “the country never should have been locked down. The consequences of shutting down the economy are more dire than COVID-19.� “Our Constitution is getting shredded,� Kelly Murphy said. The rally drew a large number of business owners including Kyle Newell and Ian Smith co-owners of the Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, Camden County which was ordered shut down by the state after several days of defying the governor’s orders when they reopened. Democratic State Assemblyman Jamel Holley, Republican Sen. Michael Testa and several Cape May business owners who are currently involved in a lawsuit with Gov. Murphy along with a borough salon owner spoke during the event. Testa noted that “people have been waiting 7-10 weeks for their unemployment checks. We are already one of the most overtaxed states in the country.� The borough’s beach was just a block from the event. Unlike most northern barrier island beaches it was closed. Earlier in the week, Point Pleasant Beach officials said that their beach
would not be open in for Memorial Day weekend as it did not have enough staff including special officers in place to handle the influx of visitors. Borough Police Chief Joseph Michigan said, “we share in everyone’s frustrations and anxieties that this pandemic has caused. We hope for the day to come that we will go back to some sense of normalcy. Our hope is this comes sooner than later.� The chief also noted prior to the rally that his department would make their presence known at the event and that they anticipated a large crowd. K-9 dogs sniffed vehicles parked in the parking lot early on during the event. “As with any planned event, we put operational plans in place that ensure the safety of everyone,� Chief Michigan added. The Ocean County Sheriff’s Office was also working with borough police to maintain order at the rally site. “We respect everyone’s constitutional rights to assemble and peacefully protest,� However, in abundance of caution, residents and visitors should expect to see a very high visible law enforcement presence, the chief said. Donna Leusner, Director of Communications for the NJ Department of Health said that people at the protest should consider keeping an eye on their own health, and look out for symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough or shortness of breath) for the next two weeks. While there was a protester who said he had coronavirus, the state has no way of knowing if this is true or if he had prolonged close contact with anyone else there, she said. “Regardless, those at the protest still should take precautions regarding face coverings, social distancing, hygiene, etc., and should consider self-monitoring for symptoms of COVID-19,� she said.

Dental Offices Resume Elective Care In NJ
COVID-19 has had an impact on our community and our health. To preserve personal protective equipment and to help maintain the stay at home order, some dental offices remained open for emergencies only during the pandemic. The Governor has just announced that routine dental care can now be resumed. Dental care, including preventive cleanings and sealants, is necessary for a healthy mouth and overall health. Cavities are 4-5x more common than asthma. There are many links to systemic health problems with poor oral health, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. “Preventing cavities is the goal for our patients” says Dr Elisa Velazquez of Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates. Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates (OPDA) has 3 offices in Ocean County and is gearing up to help their pediatric and orthodontic patients as they prepare to increase services. Dental offices have always practiced strict infection control measures. OPDA is taking every precaution to protect the safety and well-being of their patients and team in the wake of the virus. There have been changes made to how dental visits will occur to increase safety for the team and for the
patients. “Sterilization & cleanliness have always been a priority in our offices” says Dr Velazquez. “We will follow guidelines set forth by the New Jersey Dental Association and the CDC” as we open the offices to elective dentistry. Patients will now be prescreened for COVID-19 prior to visits. To decrease traffic and allow for social distancing, only one adult can accompany each pediatric patient. Families will be asked to call upon arrival and they will be informed when to come into the office to decrease waiting room time. Everyone must wear a face covering upon entering the office. The temperature of each child and adult present will be taken as a precaution. Toys and magazines have been removed from the waiting rooms. All staff will have the proper protective equipment, which include face shields, lab coats and gowns. “All dental visits are important and It’s up to every patient and their comfort level to make the decision to keep the appointment for their children” as per Dr. Velazquez. The OPDA team is ready to serve their patients and will continue to provide high quality pediatric and orthodontic care to their patients.

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 fi nancially 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 fi rst 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.
Island Heights Fire Dept. Cancels Summerbrew
The Annual Summerbrew 2020 fundraiser scheduled for June 27 has been cancelled. Due to the current state of the world regarding the COVID-19 virus, the fi re department felt that it would be best for us not to run the event this year. As certain restrictions in the state are beginning to lift, and tensions ease we still felt that holding the event would go against our main principles as a fire department, which is to provide safety and comfort to our community. Continuing on with
Summerbrew would put the public and our members at risk unnecessarily. This was a decision that was hard for the fire company to make, as Summerbrew is one of our biggest fundraisers that helps to support our department financially. The Island Heights Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 will continue to provide the best service and fire protection to our town and surrounding communities, and you can bet that we will spend this next year planning to make Summerbrew even better for 2021!

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Towns Save Money On Snow-Less Season
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – The sun was shining. The sky was clear. Temperatures were up in the 70s. No, this wasn’t Memorial Day weekend. This happened in February. People f looded the parks and playgrounds – back when they were all open – enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. This past winter was unusual in that there wasn’t much snow. Schools, for example, didn’t have a single snow day. That doesn’t mean that there weren’t some cold days. Before Mother’s Day weekend, for example, there were snow predictions that didn’t come to fruition. There were a few spring days when the homeless shelters were open because the temperature was expected to drop to freezing overnight. But – and this is not to jinx us for next year – if it was cold, it didn’t connect with precipitation. The end result was a savings for nearby municipalities. Every town budgets a certain amount of money expecting to use it for snow removal. But none of the nearby towns spent significant amounts recently. Some towns are using these savings as a buffer for the revenue lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since people out of work are having trouble paying their taxes. Jersey Shore Online reached out to several large towns and learned that the amount of money they spent on snow removal has decreased over the last few years. Berkeley Township spent $435,592.76 from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. Compare that to the $12,753.34 from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. From July 1, 2019 until March of 2020 it spent zero. Berkeley’s Chief Financial Officer Fred Ebenau said that the money, if unused, can be moved to surplus or put into a reserve to use for future storms. It can also be transferred to other line items that need to be funded. In Toms River, they spent $944,415.96 f rom July 1, 2017 th rough June 30, 2018. That million dollars dropped to $187,912.66 for the period of time from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. From July 1, 2019 until March of 2020 it spent
zero. There are options on what to do with the unspent money, Toms River Business Administrator Don Guardian said. They can transfer it to surplus for the current year, or the next; they can transfer it to other line items; or they can “charge off” funding to the Storm Recovery Trust Reserve located in the Trust fund. Funding here accumulates from year to year and can be utilized to help offset costs associated with storms or other declared disasters. The township budgets approximately $400,000 annually for costs directly related to snow storms. “In the past we have both cancelled balances and charged off to the trust reserve,” he said. Howell told a similar tale, except they actually had some snowfall this season. They spent $808,020.71 from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. This dipped to $314,707.27 for the period of time from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. From July 1, 2019 until March of 2020 it spent $11,451.98. Why has the amount that the township spends on snow removal gone down every year? Is it climate change? Or was it that the towns got lucky with how the storms played out? A large storm could easily cost $300,000 in snow removal in a big town, but if the temperature wasn’t cold enough, that blizzard becomes just a really rainy day. Also, many towns won’t send the plows out for a light snowfall – less than an inch - on a weekend. Does the lower cost of snow removal suggest that the area is getting warmer? Sarah Johnson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said it’s hard to say that it’s climate change. Climate change is more something that happens on a global scale over a period of decades. Therefore, it’s difficult to classify something that happens in a small area for just a few seasons as climate change. There are other factors at work. The storm track kept storms to the north and west of our area. “We stayed in relatively warmer conditions for most of the winter.” Other places, like northern Maine, received well above normal snowfall for a season.

Farm Workers And Employers
TRENTON – In an effort to help protect the thousands of seasonal farm workers in New Jersey, the state Departments of Health, Agriculture, and Labor and Workforce Development have issued guidance on working conditions as well as testing/treatment procedures to assist agricultural businesses and farm workers in minimizing the risk and potential exposure to COVID-19. The nature of agricultural work puts thousands of seasonal farm workers (both transient and non-transient) in close proximity with co-workers, and they also rely on employer-provided group transportation and camp-style housing. “Thousands of seasonal farm workers come to work on New Jersey farms each spring to pick fresh fruits and vegetables. Protecting seasonal workers on these farms is a high priority because they work and live in close proximity to one another,” said Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “We are working closely with growers, local health departments and our Federally Qualified Health Centers to minimize that risk and to ensure that once they are tested, follow-up, and isolation and quarantine plans are in place for workers.” “This Guidance is the result of close collaboration between the Departments of Health, Labor, and Agriculture. Our farmers are highly concerned for their workers and families and understand the need to work together to ensure a healthy and safe environment,” NJDA Secretary Douglas Fisher said. “We have a responsibility and an obligation to make sure these workers – and the farmers who hire and house them – maintain safe and healthy workplaces in which to harvest and bring to market the state’s crops,” said Labor Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo. “We have been engaged with our colleagues since early March to develop a plan that is feasible for farmers and will help protect the health of all. I especially want to thank the farmers for being responsive to the incredible challenges brought by COVID-19.” The state guidance to employers and owners or operators of seasonal farm labor camps outlines a framework of steps to minimize the spread of COVID-19 for farm workers throughout the agricultural production process, and for their shared housing and group transportation, as well as for screening and caring for individuals with suspected or confirmed virus infections. Workplace and housing safety: Workers must wear employer-provided face coverings or masks at all times including while taking transportation, during work hours, and in the presence of others. Social distancing during work time: Employers are to promote social distancing by requiring workers to remain at least six feet from one another while working in the fields or any food farming production, pro-
cessing or cultivation. Staggered shifts are also encouraged to minimize the density of workers in the field and other work locations. Housing: Employers must protect their workers by following CDC recommendations for congregate living if workers are provided housing by the employer. Beds are to be placed at least six feet apart. If six feet of distance is not possible, beds should be positioned at least three feet apart with a partition, such as hanging a sheet or a shower curtain. Mealtimes should be staggered to reduce crowding in shared eating facilities. Adequate ventilation must be provided in sleeping and living quarters with openable windows or door with properly fitted screens or a device supplying ventilation. Transportation: Employers must implement social distancing while transporting workers to and from their residency and work. Vehicles should be limited to 50% capacity, which may require additional trips to and from the worksite. Sanitation: Employers are to ensure disinfection of high-touch areas, such as in communal areas, work and transportation vehicles, in accordance with CDC guidance. Additional guidance is provided on restroom facilities and handwashing. Employers are to collaborate with their local Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) or local public health officials to identify culturally, linguistically, and literacy-level appropriate posters and education materials for workers, including those who may be unable to read or write to ensure all workers are aware of this information. Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19 Cases: Employers are to screen workers for symptoms, including through temperature and symptom checks, prior to work shifts. If any symptoms are shown, the worker must immediately be separated from other workers and connected to a physician, who will determine if a test is needed. Pending medical attention and testing, workers with symptoms consistent with a COVID-19 infection are to be confined to individual rooms and avoid common areas. Once a worker is suspected or diagnosed with COVID-10, employers are to contact the local health department and immediately assign the worker a separate bathroom and provide separate living space, or alternate housing if effective isolation in their current living space is not possible. Workers who were in close contact with the affected workers are to be screened and watched for symptoms. Costs related to testing and treatment for COVID-19 will not be charged to the employer or worker. Any hospitalization or isolation housing provided by the State of New Jersey will not be charged to employers or workers. (Farm - See Page 17)

New Jersey State Council On The Arts Announces Funds For Arts Organizations
By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY - Federal Funds are being made available to support nonprofit arts industry throughout the state that has been Impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The New Jersey State Council on the Arts will distribute $492,700 in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds to help preserve jobs and stabilize arts organizations statewide. The announcement was made at the Arts Council’s public meeting held virtually earlier today. Secretary of State Tahesha Way said her office was working closely with the Council board and staff to understand the ongoing impact of the crisis on the arts,” said. “With the release of these federal CARES Act funds. “The Council continues its dedication to providing impactful and thoughtful service to New Jersey’s arts sector.” She added, “the Council is grateful to the Murphy Administration for recognizing that art matters in New Jersey, and for the inclusion of the arts as we look to the future and develop strategies to reopen and rebuild.” “The nonprofit arts industry, like so many others, is reeling from the financial and societal impacts of the current crisis,” Council Chair Elizabeth Mattson said. “Health and safety remain the highest priorities as organizations that exist to bring people together, attempt to adapt to restrictions, cancelations, layoffs, refunds and mounting expenses.” Mattson said, “the innovation we’ve seen from artists and arts organizations speaks volumes about the resiliency to come. And while their creativity may know no limits, these community anchors need support now to be able to weather this storm and survive.” Council Executive Director Allison Tratner remarked, “this CARES Act funding comes at a critical time, and we are grateful the federal government continues to include the arts sector in strategies for recovery. With our partners at the National Endowment for the Arts we will continue to work to get resources out the door quickly.” “The financial need is tremendous, and our goal is to provide meaningful relief for as many organizations as is responsibly possible,” Tratner added. In April, the National Endowment for the Arts awarded nearly $30 million in CARES Act funds to the nation’s states and territories to ensure broad distribution throughout the country. The Endowment instructed State Arts Agencies, like the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, to regrant the funds to help arts organizations endure the economic hardships caused by the forced closure of their operations due to the spread of COVID-19. Noting it as a key part of the state’s economy and overall quality of life, New Jersey’s arts sector, when it is stable and thriving, employs thousands of people, engages millions, and provides great value
for communities, families, residents and visitors. The Council has identified nearly 60 nonprofit arts organizations and 21 County Arts Agencies as eligible to receive the CARES Act funds. This swift and strategic
distribution will ensure the funds reach organizations of varying sizes, touching communities throughout the state. View the list of organizations and county arts agencies here. Mattson expressed gratitude for the gove-
nor’s ongoing, clear guidance and support. She commended essential workers and pointed to the 24/7 resources for health and safety available at NJ.gov thanks to the thousands of public service sector professionals.

How To Make Immune Cubes By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
As the weather warms, I find myself craving ice cubes in my water. I make what you might call “weird” ice cubes, sometimes they’re green. Sometimes they are the normal whitish color, but they’ve been laced with astragalus or echinacea. When my children were young, they didn’t notice what was going on, but they got immune cubes at times (usually in their smoothies). All soups were simmered with a piece of astragalus bark in the broth, along with the expected Bay leaf. I’d take the astragalus bark out before serving them. I made some of their drinks and smoothies using coconut water, or bilberry-infused water. I’d put a dash of matcha powder in their cookie dough! Today, my adult children are tickled about my antics! They tease me that they knew what was going on… which is possible because they were always in the kitchen licking spoons and helping me pour flour out onto the floor, lol. At this time, with COVID-19 still circulating, it’s important to protect your immune function as best you can. I also think it might be a fun afternoon project with your kids. Use the ice cubes daily and put them in your individual glass, or in a pretty water dispenser for your counter. You can also use these ice cubes in your smoothies. Green Tea Ice Cubes This has caffeine. There are green tea bags available everywhere, as well as matcha powder. I usually use matcha because it’s stronger. You’re drinking crushed up
leaves, not an extraction. The antioxidants in green tea and matcha, especially EGCG, chase down free radicals and help balance your cytokines so they are in healthier ratios. The FDA requires me to say that neither green tea or matcha powder (or supplements containing these ingredients) do not prevent, cure, or treat COVID-19, or any disease for that matter. This herb simply provides antioxidants which go after oxidants. How to do it: Steep 4 green bags into 4 cups of hot water for about 5 minutes. Strain the infusion into your ice cube tray and freeze. You won’t even taste the green tea (which is a tad bitter if you over-steep it) in your glass of water. But it will provide powerful immune benefits. If you are using matcha, you can use a bamboo whisker or a metal whisker and stir 2 teaspoonfuls of matcha powder into 4 cups of hot water. Make sure it has all dissolved well or put it through a stainless-steel strainer before pouring into your ice cube tray. Freeze it. It will probably stay good for about a month. This confers powerful immune protection. In between the years of 1998 and 2009, a group of women were studied and those who drank green tea showed a 30 percent reduced risk of getting breast cancer. And in another study of 49,000 men, they found that prostate cancer risk was cut virtually in half! I have a longer version of this article with other recipes using licorice root, astragalus, oranges and more. It’s available via email after you sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com.

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.

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – The last remaining parks that were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic will be reopened on May 22. Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, chairwoman of the Department of Parks and Recreation said, “on May 22 all of our County parks, including our off-leash dog parks, will have been reopened to the public. We will continue to keep restrictions in place in order to assure social distancing is maintained in our parks including capping parking at 50 percent.” “We have been gradually reopening our parks since May 2 following guidelines from the state and health experts. I again want to stress these parks are being reopened for passive recreation only – walking, jogging, hiking, running and similar activities. Picnics and group activities are not allowed at this time,” Haines said. In addition, playgrounds, nature centers, and pavilions also remain closed. Swimming is currently prohibited at any of the Ocean County parks that have beaches. Based on lifeguard availability, those beaches including the one at A. Paul King County Park in Stafford Township - are expected to open later in June. No swimming signs are posted throughout the park system. Bathrooms will be available at all County park sites and visitors using them must be wearing a face covering. Face coverings are strongly recommended when accessing the dog parks at Ocean County Airpark in Berkeley Township and Ocean County Park, Lakewood and all of the parks in the county system. Haines added that Ocean County will continue to adjust the restrictions at its parks as time goes on and at the direction of health experts and the state. She said, “we are pleased to be opening all of our parks so our residents can enjoy them all again. Each of our parks offers unique features and a great opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty Ocean County has to offer.” The last of the county’s parks to reopen on May 22 include Beaver Dam County Park, Point Pleasant, A. Paul King County Park, Stafford Township, Mantoloking Bridge County Park and Fishing Pier, and Gull Island County Park, Point Pleasant Beach. In addition, more changes will be coming to the county’s golf courses. Tee times will include foursomes starting Friday May 22nd at the Ocean County Golf Course at Atlantis, Little Egg Harbor Township and the Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond, Brick Township. Tee times will still be 20 minutes apart and will require a reservation. Reservations can be made by calling the respective course’s pro shop seven days in advance or reserving on Golf Now. One foursome reservation per phone call. Credit card and debit cards will be taken for payment as there is no cash option at this time. Atlantis’ last tee time will be 5:20 p.m. and
the last cart needs to be in 15 minutes prior to sunset (posted at pro shop). The driving range at Atlantis is open and driving range golf balls will be sanitized. Every other stall will be utilized. The Forge Pond Pro shop closes at 5 p.m. and the last cart needs to be in at 4:45 p.m. Carts are still limited to one rider per cart, excluding an individual’s immediate family member, caretakers, household members, or romantic partner. All social distancing rules are in effect and a mask must be worn to approach the counter for payment. Haines said, “restrictions at our parks and our golf courses are in place to protect the health and safety of the patrons that are visiting us along with our staff.” “While we understand some may feel this is nothing but an inconvenience, we are still in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and must take all the steps we can to limit anyone’s exposure to this virus,” Haines said. In addition, the county in following the state’s requirements has capped parking at 50 percent. When a park’s parking lot is at capacity, park patrons should not park on streets or the grass. “We encourage everyone to adhere to the requirements we have put in place to reopen the parks,” she said. Parks are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Singles tennis/pickleball is allowed at Ocean County Park, Lakewood, Jakes Branch County Park, Beachwood and Tip Seaman County Park, Tuckerton. Tennis is allowed at Beaver Dam County Park, Point Pleasant. There are restrictions on play. “We encourage everyone using our parks 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,” Haines said. Ocean County closed its parks and natural lands to the public on March 31 due to the outbreak of the coronavirus and based on the mandates from President Donald H. Trump and Gov. Phil Murphy for social distancing and stay at home orders. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said, “we want everyone to enjoy our parks and natural lands safely,” said. “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,” Vicari said. Vicari added, “we need to continue to do our part to stop the spread of this virus.” Ocean County had 8,012 cases of coronavirus as of May 19. The County’s parks and recreation areas are patrolled by the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office and Ocean County Security Department.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical
expense benefits (PIP) Michael J. Deem coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Continued From Page 12 The guidance also sets out conditions for when employees can return to work. Employee protections: The guidance outlines existing employment-based protections for workers, including the prohibition
on employers firing or otherwise punishing an employee who requests or takes time off due to a medical professional’s determination that the worker has or is likely to have COVID-19. Most workers will be eligible for paid sick time if they contract COVID-19 and also may be eligible for Workers Compensation if they get COVID-19 while working.

BUSINESS PROFILE Bella Terra, Also Known As Home
By Michael Vandenberg “This is their home. We’re guests here,” said Kim Greer, Executive Director of Bella Terra, a beautiful senior living community which happens to be an independent and assisted living community in Jackson. When you’re a resident here, you’ll enjoy all the comforts of home and some extra amenities. Kim Greer and Paula Douglass, Director of Sales and Marketing, were happy to discuss the incredible amenities of Bella Terra. Established over 20 years ago, the Senior Lifestyle Community took the name Bella Terra, which is Italian for “Beautiful Earth.” The name fits: the building is surrounded by preserved wetlands where no construction is permitted. The result? Even though it’s off of Route 526/West County Line Road, it’s hidden away from the hustle and bustle of that busy highway thanks to a serene, quiet setting of beautiful trees. It also boasts amazing views from the upper floors. Bella Terra’s atmosphere is certainly a main reason why people want to come here, and it was no different for Kim and Paula. Kim was hired six years ago into her current role,
leading an impressively low-turnover staff. Many of the managers have been here over two years, and Paula herself has been warmly welcoming newcomers for almost 16 years! The staff’s longevity makes things run smoothly, helpful when you need such a wide variety of people to make it completely all-inclusive: housekeepers, dishwashers, servers, chefs, and nurses, just to name a few. Independent living is essentially, “a next step up from a 55 plus,” Paula explained. They have a concierge and offer continental breakfast and an elaborate, chef prepared, served dinner. They also do housekeeping and the linens once a week. You’ve spent enough time worrying about house chores your whole life; it’s time to relax! Assisted living provides an additional level of care for residents, including 24 hour nursing care. Add-on features are mostly customized to the specific resident, but examples can include medication assistance, bathing, dressing, and extra security. Memory care goes even further on the security front, but in a way that never jeopardizes residents’ comfort and sense of freedom.
Here in the memory care neighborhood residents are in a safe area that is still part of the rest of the building, but with its own courtyard. They can go in and out of the courtyard during the day and evening as they please. Visitors are encouraged, and scheduled trips occur on a regular basis. Although at Bella Terra, fun is available to everyone! You’ll never be bored here; there are organized trips to Atlantic City, an exercise program, an indoor pool, floral groups, arts and crafts, and educational pieces. A travel log often stops by to teach residents about states and countries all over the world. Bingo, Mahjong, and Canasta are big hits. They even do a happy hour with drinks and host entertainers. Twice a year, Bella Terra hosts a vendor fair inside the building. Without leaving their home, residents can buy crafts, food, and personalized items. It’s a huge event with, “anything and everything,” said Kim. Also, residents often form their own bible studies and other social groups as well. There are too many fun things to list here, but suffice it to say there is always something to do at Bella Terra. It’s all because the staff
truly believes in going the extra mile to make this a fun, stress-free place to live. Prior to moving in, you’ll have a conversation with Kim and a member of the frontline staff so they can make sure they know all about your wants and needs. “The day of move in, everybody meets the family and resident,” said Kim. “Honestly, throughout their entire lives here, every single resident gets to know pretty much every staff member in this building.” That happens when you live here for many enjoyable years, like most Bella Terra residents do. Currently their oldest resident is 105
years young, and it’s not uncommon for people to be here 8-10 years or more. After all, moving here changes your life for the better. One woman who moved into assisted living temporarily while she rehabbed an injury loved it so much that when she got healthy she decided to move into independent living permanently. Kim also remembers one couple who moved into an independent living apartment together. The wife unfortunately suffered from dementia, and taking care of her consumed most of her husband’s time. With the help and guidance of the Bella Terra staff, the family decided to move the wife into the memory care neighborhood. It turned out to be the best decision they could have made: the wife was able to get the round-the-clock care she needed, and the husband
was able to have some free time to be himself again. “He got to live his own life,” said Kim. Rather than constantly being a caregiver, “he got to be the husband for a change”. Even though they slept in different sections, they were able to see each other plenty because they still lived under the same roof. It’s convenient having the comforts of home and more in one place, especially when primary care doctors, eye doctors, dentists, podiatrists, and chiropractors come here and do house calls! And of course, if you prefer your own doctor, they’re more than happy to provide transportation for you. Apartments are available now so give Bella Terra a call today at732-730-9500 or visit seniorlifestyle.com/ property/bella-terra/ for more information. They’re located at 2 Kathleen Drive, Jackson, NJ 08527.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Long Term Care Roadmap Released For Governors Use
WASHINGTON D.C. – The American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) recently rleased a “Long Term Care Workforce Roadmap for Governors and States,” outlining ways state public health officials can help nursing homes and assisted living communities address workforce needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the roadmap, AHCA/NCAL offers possible solutions to states to help increase the number of clinical and support staff, protect caregivers while they serve their residents, help caregivers get to work and stay safe in the larger community, and support specific long term care facilities dealing with cases. The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/ NCAL) represents more than 14,000 non-profit and proprietary skilled nursing centers, assisted living communities, sub-acute centers and homes for individuals with intellectual and development disabilities “Our heroic health care workers in long term care have shown extraordinary commitment to their residents during this unprecedented time. They deserve our respect and need ongoing support as they continue to battle this virus,” Mark Parkinson, President & CEO of AHCA/NCAL said. Parkinson added, “governors must take immediate action to help protect those currently on the frontlines and take proactive steps to recruit, train and deploy additional caregivers to ensure that residents continue to receive the daily care they need in our facilities. This is an ‘all hands-on deck’ situation.” Caregivers in long term care are rising to the challenge in responding to this threat; however, COVID-19 has resulted in increased demands on staff. Residents must be isolated from others while still receiving the high-quality daily care and services they require. Coupled with the fact that some staff are unable to work because they are sick, lack childcare options with schools and daycares closed or have to be quarantined themselves—in part a consequence of inadequate availability of personal protective equipment (PPE)—a workforce shortage currently exists in long term care settings. Furthermore, AHCA/NCAL anticipates additional workforce support will be needed as testing in long term care facilities expands across the country and may identify staff members who are positive but asymptomatic. Additionally, with many states re-opening sectors of the economy, this increases the likelihood of staff members contracting the virus while out in the larger community. Residents in long term care facilities are especially vulnerable to COVID-19, and they require round-the-clock care and support from dedicated professionals. AHCA/NCAL is encouraging governors and state public health officials to explore ideas, such as: Making long term care facilities a priority for PPE to protect current caregivers and residents from contracting the virus. Making long term care facilities a priority for timely testing of staff and residents to identify asymptomatic carriers and empower facilities to respond in a targeted way. States need to support facilities in administering tests and covering costs. Allowing nurses and other medical professionals
to cross state lines and allowing facilities to hire temporary caregivers and support staff, which will require relaxing state regulations. Encouraging medical professionals to volunteer as we have seen them do for hospitals. Deploying the National Guard to specific facilities with outbreaks to help with cleaning, testing, PPE, and staff support. “We’ve seen inspiring images of nurses and doctors flying across the country to serve in our hospitals. We hope to see the same national support rally around our long term care facilities,” continued Parkinson. “We owe it to our residents, those from the Greatest Generation, to ensure they have the necessary support they need and deserve.” The “Long Term Care Workforce Roadmap for Governors and States” is available to read by visiting ahcancal.org/coronavirus.

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.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Respecting One’s Social Distance Feelings
Dear Joel, I am sure we all agree that the coronavirus pandemic has changed the world and the way we as humans are currently living. My husband and I are not in the most vulnerable age category, but we are extremely mindful and cautious. We follow all the social distancing guidelines, while doing our best to support essential businesses that are open. A small group of our friends, however, do not seem as concerned and proceed to act as if nothing is wrong. They have already made plans to resume life as it was the moment it is allowed. It is this apparent disregard for their health and the health of others that has changed our opinion of them. My husband and I do not feel that we would be comfortable socializing with them for quite some time, if ever again. Do you have any suggestions on how we should handle this situation? Answer: I certainly agree that the coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we are currently living, and perhaps how we
will live from this point on. As with ever y thing we face in life, people will have different thoughts and approaches. Fr iendships are usually based upon common interests, etc. but should not be limited to agreement on every subject. We are continuously reminded by TV commercials that we are more alike than we are different. So, without knowing the exact nature of your friendship, I would say if you are more alike than you are different, you may be able to continue your socializing even if it is on a limited basis. It is important to remember that while we are all in the same storm, we are not all in the same boat. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.
