─Photo by Chris Lundy Major Stephen Ditmer gives a sermon one Sunday morning at the Salvation Army in Toms River. By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – How can you serve people when you’re not allowed to go near them? That’s the problem that service organizations like the Salvation Army have had to wrestle with since the onset of COVID-19. Social distancing regulations are still very import-
ant, which makes them adjust their operations in order to still help people in need, said Major Stephen Ditmer of the Salvation Army on Route 37 in Toms River. “We had to scale way back in gatherings,” he said. Even now that the state is slowly reopening, they still have to be outside.
The big dining area inside the building on Route 37 is not open for those in need right now, he said. Instead of dinners, they serve takeaway on Thursday nights. The line starts at 4:30 p.m. and lasts for the better part of an hour. There’s a line and people are told to keep six feet apart. However,
the homeless population isn’t plugged into social media so they aren’t aware of every detail of the COVID-19 situation. “The barrage of behavioral instruction via social media is not getting to them,” he said, at least in the beginning of the pandemic. (Social - See Page 10)
Looking Toward Shore’s Past, Future Hurricanes By Patricia A. Miller OCEAN COUNTY - The ominous weather reports before Hurricane Sandy hit just before Halloween in October 2012 were not anything you’d want to hear. Neither were the police officers driving down our street warning us to leave before noon the following
Monday. We had to sign paperwork that Friday night acknowledging that if we did not leave, the township was not responsible for anything that happened to us or to our home. We signed. We had never been ordered to leave our Bayville neighborhood
before. We left. In the end, we couldn’t return home for seven months, until the house was repaired. Sandy was within 50 miles of the New Jersey coast before it hit in Brigantine as an extratropical cyclone. The storm peppered the Jersey Shore with hurricane-force winds,
record low pressure, devastation is noted, and a huge storm surge particularly on Long Beach Island and the along the coast. “The storm becomes Barnegat Peninsula, the worst hurricane to whe r e t he Se a sid e affect the state on re- Heights boardwalk colcord, killing 37 and lapses into the ocean.” Sandy took the most causing nearly $30 billion in damages,” ac- lives, compared to a cording to the National storm in August 1806 Oceanic and Atmo- storm, which killed 21 spheric Administration residents.

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A local councilman is renewing his plea to have a homeless shelter built in Ocean County. Currently, the county places the homeless in temporary housing. This solves the short term problem of shelter, but not the root cause of homelessness, Councilman Terrance Turnbach said. While in these motels, they continue to have access to drugs and alcohol; any behavioral issues are not checked. “If we do not address the underlying issues causing an individual to be homeless, we are akin to hamsters running on a wheel. It is time to admit that providing money for people to stay in motels is not a plan that will meaningfully address chronic homelessness,” he said. Toms River opened Riverwood Park Recreation Center off Whitesville Road for Code Blue during nights in the winter. This is a statewide regulation that opens shelters when the temperature reaches freezing. It is run by the nonprofit Just Believe, Inc. According to their figures, there were 193 different people who stayed in the Toms River shelter overnight last winter. During the winter of 2018-2019, that number was 178. These figures do not include those who stayed in other places that were open for Code Blue. Based on these numbers alone, Turnbach said the county’s plan is not working. “Respectfully we must reset our approach to addressing homelessness. The end goal cannot be providing temporary shelter. The end goal must be transitioning individuals into permanent housing,” he said. A shelter would provide people with not only a roof over their heads, but supervision and services that address the reasons that they are homeless in the first place. Shelter Location Part of the problem with homeless shelters is that people don’t want them in their back yard. The site would also need to be near jobs and public transportation, which means it wouldn’t be hidden away. Turnbach said the ideal location for a transitional housing facility would be where a shut down hotel presently is. (Homelessness - See Page 12)

With Baseball Cancelled, BlueClaws Discuss What Could Have Been
By Chris Christopher LAKEWOOD - It was far from the 20th season the Lakewood BlueClaws had in mind. The Philadelphia Phillies’ low Class A affiliate, a member of the South Atlantic League, planned a season-long celebration of its milestone campaign. And the team hoped to celebrate its eight millionth fan to walk through the gates for a regular-season game at FirstEnergy Park. However, there will be no season. The BlueClaws announced Tuesday, June 30, that Minor League Baseball has canceled the seasons of its 160 affiliated clubs, resulting in the cancellation of the team’s campaign as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Major League Baseball declined to supply its affiliates with players, another reason for the cancellation. “This is news that we had hoped we wouldn’t have to share, but unfortunately we will not be playing baseball at the Jersey Shore this summer,” said Lakewood team president Joe Ricciutti, whose club has attracted 7,711,681 fans. “This is a tremendous all-around disappointment from the team’s perspective to a personal level. Everyone worked so hard to get to this season. When the team was home for night games in the past, we worked from 9 a.m.-midnight. We all enjoy watching baseball and bringing the community together. The longer the shutdown lasted,
the tougher the logistics became. “This is heartbreaking.” The team said the decision was made with the interests of fan, player, coach and staff safety at the forefront. “We understand and cherish our place as a much-needed outlet for fun and entertainment across our communities, but we also understand and support the need to prioritize the public health crisis,” said Art Matin, the managing partner of Shore Town Baseball, the BlueClaws’ ownership group. “Everyone is disappointed,” SAL president Eric Krupa said. “From a practical standpoint, if you look at the logistics and health and safety protocols, it was an easy decision. It’s enough of a challenge controlling the major league teams. It’s a common sense decision, but it’s disappointing on a number of levels. “Lakewood was set to unveil its 20th anniversary logo. A lot of its promotions were to have had the subliminal theme of its 20-year anniversary,” he said. Lakewood was scheduled to play 140 regular-season games, including 70 at FirstEnergy Park. “By the middle of March, all of our season tickets along with group tickets had been pretty much sold out,” Ricciutti said. “Single-game tickets went on sale in the middle of March. Our group sales went tremendously well. We came on board late during the 2017 season. We
spent time building a group foundation over the last two years. Building that foundation has been our focus since we came on board. We obtained youth sports teams and leagues that had never been with us before. “We were well, well on target to hit our goal of 30 sellouts. We sold out 20 games last year and 13 games in 2018.” Ricciutti said the team suffered a large revenue hit because of the cancelation. “We are a private business so we keep that figure relatively private,” he said. “We took a tremendous, impactful hit. Thousands of businesses have been impacted. We will work through it and build from there. This challenge faces all 160 affiliated teams in minor league baseball.” The BlueClaws said ticket package holders will be contacted by staff members to go over their options. Additionally, the team said its staff members will coordinate with group leaders who have booked 2020 outings as well. Lakewood said those who have tickets as part of a group outing should wait to hear from their group’s leader directly. Communication from the BlueClaws’ staff members began Wednesday morning, July 1. The team said it asks that ticket holders be patient as the BlueClaws work through outreach on an individual basis. “We thank each of our ticket package
holders and group leaders for their patience while we waited for a resolution,” Ricciutti said. “This has been a trying time for us all and we want to make sure that each ticket holder hears directly from the BlueClaws” The BlueClaws said they will shift many of their 20th season promotions into the 2021 season. “We are already working on making 2021 the biggest and most exciting season in team history,” Ricciutti said. “We’ll just celebrate our 20th season and our 20th anniversary all together!” The BlueClaws’ 2021 schedule has yet to be released. The team said it will announce the schedule, complete with the 2021 Opening Night, when available. FirstEnergy Park executive offices remained closed to the public as of Tuesday, June 30. The team’s staff is working remotely. Check blueclaws.com and the team’s social media channels for more information. What Would Have Been Lakewood’s first-year manager was to have been Chris Adamson. Born in Sydney, Australia, he is an Adelaide, South Australia resident. The former catcher spent the last seven seasons with the Adelaide Bite of the Australian Baseball League as manager (2017-19) and bench coach (2013-16). He was an assistant (BlueClaws - See Page 13)

Bill Would Lower Health Care Costs, Expand Coverage From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) voted to pass Patient Protection and Affordable Care Enhancement Act, H.R. 1425, a bill that would lower health care costs and expand coverage during the largest public health crisis in generations. This vote also comes as the Trump Administration is working through the U.S. Supreme Court to abolish the Affordable Care Act and the pre-existing conditions pro-
tection coverage that comes with it. “Protecting the health care of New Jerseyans has never been more important, and the improvements in this bill have never been more necessary,” said Congressman Kim, who continued, “We’ve seen more than 13,000 of our neighbors die and tens of thousands infected during this pandemic – the choice we have is clear: we can make sure more of our neigh-
bors can access affordable health care, or we can let the Trump Administration kick them off their plans and leave them in the cold. I am proud to stand with the families in Burlington and Ocean Counties who deserve the peace of mind and certainty of quality, affordable health care, and against any effort to take that away from them.” Recently, Congressman Kim was joined by senior members of the House in introducing this bill. If passed, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Enhancement Act would: Lower health coverage costs by dramatically expanding the ACA’s insurance affordability subsidies to cover more middle-class families
and to be more generous for those already receiving them. Many enrollees will see their premiums cut by half or more, and for the first time, no one will have to pay more than 8.5 percent of their income for a silver plan in the ACA marketplaces. Negotiate for lower prescription drug prices by delivering the power to negotiate lower drug prices so that Americans no longer have to pay more for our medicines than Big Pharma changes for the same drugs overseas. Expand coverage by encouraging Medicaid expansion and the expansion of state-based exchanges. Combat inequity in health coverage faced by communities of color by expanding
more affordable coverage to vulnerable populations and fighting the maternal mortality epidemic by requiring states to extend Medicaid or CHIP coverage to new mothers for a full year post-partum. Crack down on junk plans & strengthens protections for people with pre-existing conditions by reversing the Trump Administration’s expansion of junk health insurance plans that do not provide coverage for essential medical treatments and drugs, and that are allowed to discriminate against people with pre-existing medical conditions. Congressman Kim has been a leader in Congress on expanding affordable health care. The Patient
Legislation Will Further Reform New Jersey’s Criminal Justice System From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy signed three pieces of legislation that make various reforms to New Jersey’s criminal justice system. The bills will ensure personnel files of law enforcement officers are shared when applying for employment at other agencies, accelerate juvenile justice reforms, and expand critical re-entry benefits. “I’ve been clear that New Jersey will be as aggressive as any state in the nation in our efforts to reform a criminal justice system that has largely failed our black and brown communities for far too long,” said Governor Murphy. “Among other important changes, these measures promote a greater degree of professionalism
in law enforcement hiring practices and ensure that young people and formerly incarcerated individuals who are re-entering society are provided with a meaningful chance to reach their full potential.” The Governor signed the following bills into law: A744 (Johnson, Holley, Conaway, Wimberly/Weinberg, Turner) - Requires law enforcement agencies to provide internal affairs and personnel files of law enforcement officers to other agencies under certain circumstances. S2511 (Pou, Turner/Wimberly, Reynolds-Jackson) - Accelerates rescinding of certain juvenile delinquency fines and making discretionary post-incarceration su-
pervision due to COVID-19 pandemic. S2331 (Sweeney, Cunningham/Pintor Marin, Quijano, Verrelli) - Assists inmates released from incarceration in obtaining necessary re-entry benefits. Primary sponsors of A744 include Assemblymembers Gordon Johnson, Jamel Holley, Herb Conaway and Benjie Wimberly, and Senators Loretta Weinberg and Shirley Turner. “Operating with minimal information does more harm than good when it comes to hiring an officer charged to serve and protect, said Assemblyman Gordon M. Johnson. “With this legislation, we intend to give departments and jurisdictions all the information they need to determine if an applicant is the right fit. For us to reform police culture, we must ensure agencies are first aware of any disciplinary history.” “There needs to be more accountability,” said Assemblyman Jamel C. Holley. “If
an officer faces disciplinary action within one agency in one town and can easily move on to another agency in a different town without their record following them, we have an accountability problem. Making sure agencies aren’t kept in the dark about the background of candidates – good or bad – is what this legislation does. This is critical in our efforts to rebuild trust in law enforcement.” “Ensuring departments have access to the personnel records they need to bring a new officer on board is about trust and confidence,” said Assemblyman Herb Conaway. “Law enforcement officers are sent into the community every day and while most adhere to the highest professional standards, others may not. If that’s the case, departments need to know.” “To strengthen the view of police as a force for good in the community, policies requiring disciplinary histories to be shared must be sta-
tus quo,” said Assemblyman Benjie E. Wimberly. “Most officers spend their entire career acting honorably, but to maintain accountability, policy has to acknowledge the potential for bad actors to exist.” “Police officers are given an immense amount of power and responsibility and the vast majority serve with honor and deference to the position,” said Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg. “In cases where incidents do occur, however, it should be reviewable by any agency being asked to hire that person in the future. How can we expect agencies to weed out bad actors if they can’t review an applicant’s full history? When the public’s trust is on the line, no stone should be left unturned and I am glad the Governor has taken such swift action on this bill.” “Police officers, quite literally at times, have the lives of our state’s most vulnerable in their hands,” said Senator Shirley Turner. “It
Protection and Affordable Care En hancement Act includes language from the SAVE Act, Congressman Kim’s fi rst piece of legislation introduced, which is a bipartisan bill to drive down costs by helping states create their own state-based exchanges. Congressman Kim introduced the Helping Seniors Afford Health Care Act, which would expand eligibility for the Medicare Savings Program so more seniors get help paying for health care. He also helped lead the effort to pass the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, H.R. 3, which would allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices, crack down on price gouging and expand Medicare coverage to dental and vision care.
is incredibly important we are thoroughly vetting any individual bestowed with that badge, and in turn, the power that comes with it. This legislation will create greater oversight, transparency and accountability to prevent departments from hiring bad actors.” Primary sponsors of S2511 include Senators Nellie Pou and Shirley Turner, and Assemblymembers Benjie Wimberly and Verlina Reynolds-Jackson. “The juvenile justice reform bill we signed into law earlier this year was written before we had ever heard of the coronavirus,” said Senator Nellie Pou.”The pandemic, however, has made the implementation of this law that much more crucial as it will help lower populations in certain juvenile facilities and create greater opportunity for proper social distancing. I am glad the Governor has recognized the urgency of signing this legislation today and discarded any further delay.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E DITORIAL If You Light Fireworks, Your Neighbors Hate You I used to like fireworks more when I was a kid. I remember watching them over the Toms River growing up. I remember firing bottle rockets out of my hands on a beach in North Carolina, in a massive firework fight with dozens of other tourist kids (Don’t try this at home). I still have a soft spot for parking my beach chair and watching from Route 9 or wherever I can get a spot. I also remember walking to the waterfront with my daughter, who was 4 at the time (Don’t try this at home, either). When I hear them echo near my house at night in the summer, it’s usually part of Berkeley’s summer concert and I smile a little bit. But when I’m going for a walk at night, and something randomly explodes over my head, that’s where I draw the line. When I’m doing some gardening just before dusk because that’s the only time it’s not blazingly hot out, and stuff is blowing up all over, that’s not fun. Every dog in the neighborhood goes nuts. If you’re a firework lover, you’re not an animal lover. Period. So far this season I think the latest I’ve heard a firework go off is 11:45 p.m. There’s been the occasional burnt bottle rocket that ends
up in my back yard. I have a lot of trees in my back yard, and ivy. So far, I’ve been lucky. But one of these times, someone isn’t going to be lucky. One of these times, a firework will go off wrong, and really hurt someone. Or land in a gutter full of leaves. Or hit a kid watching from one yard over. Sure, the average person is doing it right, you might say. But here’s something else: The average person is an idiot. When I’m driving, I drive defensively. I don’t assume that someone is going to stop at a stop sign. My foot hovers over my brake, just in case the other driver isn’t paying attention. Mistakes happen. We all know how congested this area is. Most of us have homes right on top of each other. Most of us have a neighbor to either side, one behind, and two at the corners. That’s five different places a firecracker can end up if they’re fired off in the wrong way. I’ll also never understand why people celebrate our nation’s veterans by blowing things up and setting off their PTSD. Please, leave it to the professionals. Chris Lundy News Editor

Federal Government Failed Our Vets The US Department of Veterans Affairs has failed t he veter a n s of Ocea n County, but it didn’t have to be this way. If the VA had kept its promise to deliver for our veterans, there would be a new veterans health care facility befitting of the service and sacrifice of those who wore the uniform. Instead, we have seen delays and disappointment, excuses and a continuation of a status quo that is simply unacceptable. The current James J. Howard Veterans’ Outpatient Clinic based in Brick was built in 1991. It was built to serve a veteran population of nearly 5,000. In the years since, the veteran population reliant on that facility for health care has more than doubled. Thousands more line up to see health care providers, but the number of providers hasn’t kept pace, especially for the care it provides to our women veterans. Thousands more drive to the facility looking for parking, but the VA has failed to expand parking capacity, forcing disabled and older veterans to walk an unsafe road to seek treatment. And thousands more seek expanded care that the current, dated facility, simply cannot provide. In 2014, Congress authorized a lease project in
Letters The Editor Ocean County for aTo new New Jersey pressed the VA 101.5. It seems to me that CBOC as part of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act. This provided the authorization and funding to allow the VA to build a larger, more moder n facility for our veterans. After promises of progress, that process was halted in the spring of 2018, when the VA decided to hit the restart button, delaying the expanded care our veterans need. At the time, the VA said that restar ting the process would result in “increase[d] competition and lower costs” and would be done “in line with VA’s new business practices” to “ensure alignment with the cu r rent VA healthcare model.” At face value, these things make sense. We were told in January 2019 that a decision on the location of the new facility would be made by the end of September of that same year. That date came and went until fi nally last month, we were told the VA was going back to square one; New Jersey’s veterans shouldn’t expect a new facility until at least 2024. That’s a decade after this process was started. This decision blindsided us. Congressman Kim had toured the VA twice, met regularly with VA officials and his office was in monthly touch with the VA for updates. After this decision was made, congressional and veteran leaders across

to provide immediate answers and action; instead, we received insufficient excuses that did nothing to further the cause of providing better care for our veterans. At the end of the day, as elected officials and veteran leaders, providing better care for our veterans is our top priority. It should be the top priority for officials at the VA as well, and they have a moment to make this right. To serve the nearly 12,000 veteran patients who rely on t he CBOC, t he VA should fully staff the current CBOC, and establish a mobile “Touch Point” clinic to meet veterans closer to home. They could be active partners in finding new solutions to the dangerous parking situation at the facility in Brick, working with local organizations and private-sector groups who are eager to help. And they can provide real transparency to veterans in our com munit y by meeting with veteran leaders in a public setting on a regular basis to provide updates on the procurement of a new site and other efforts to help our veterans. All of these things would be a step forward, and all of them are within the power of the VA to do immediately. We want the VA to succeed, simply because our veterans cannot afford them to fail. Success for our veterans is within reach; we only ask the VA to join us to make it a reality.

Jackson Mayor Is On A Power Trip This is in response to the article “Jackson Mayor Calls on Murphy to Resign Over Pandemic ‘Power Trip’” published by NJ
our mayor is on a power trip, all because he doesn’t like to be told ‘no.’ To say it’s only about the kids is ludicrous. If it truly was/is, he wouldn’t have gotten his panties in such a twist. Kids will be kids, and if they see each other on a field for the first time in several months, does he really think they’re going to follow proper social distancing? I don’t! Then to state he’s mad because he’s been disrespected is outrageous. Being told no is not being disrespected. Referring to the crisis as a “pandemic thing,” tells me he doesn’t get it. A virus that has killed thousands isn’t just a thing; it’s a tragedy of epic proportions that has changed the world. Furthermore, calling the park “my park,” couldn’t be further from the truth; it’s the people’s park. Allowing kids to play sports in the park, in direct violation of the governor’s order, will open Jackson up to yet another lawsuit, one from the state. Seems to me that is direct disrespect of the gover nor. Do we really need to worry about another lawsuit? Haven’t we had enough? Also, unless he’s got absolute proof that our governor is personally to blame for the COVID-19 deaths in veterans facilities, he should never say that he is. I’m all for honoring our veterans, but restrictions are in place for a reason, and we could hold a special parade at a later date. We are all frustrated, but acting like a spoiled bully is not the way to handle it. We need to work and come together, being there for one another, as best we can. None of us has ever had to deal with anything like this in our lifetime. If you don’t agree with the governor’s handling of it, offer up a better solution if you can. Don’t go on the attack. I, for one, intend to remember this, come November. Stephanie Brown Jackson

The food pantry is open five days a week by appointment. People should call 732-2708393 to schedule an appointment. A local volunteer group called A Need We Feed has been going to local restaurants to get pre-packaged meals donated. Fulfill has been providing crisis relief boxes that the Salvation Army would supplement or modify if needed for people. Ditmer estimated that the number of customers
needing food tripled when the pandemic hit. The demand has since reduced closer to the normal need. But the group also feeds the soul. Every Sunday morning at 10 a.m. they hold a service in their parking lot. The sermon is broadcast from speakers. People sit in their cars or in folding chairs in front of their cars.

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Township police are increasing patrols in areas of the barrier island due to concerns of disrespectful juvenile behavior. A news release from the police department called for residents and visitors of Normandy Beach and Chadwick beach to be advised “we are experiencing a significant increase in the number of unruly juveniles congregating and committing offenses in the northern beach section of town.” The department be dedicating additional re-
sources to address these issues. Township Police are “committed to protecting the residents of our community as well as their property and will not tolerate disrespectful or destructive behavior,” the statement adds. Police are requesting parents from neighboring jurisdictions not drop their children off into this area due to ongoing issues. A heightened police presence will be in effect and there will be zero tolerance, for all offenses including motor vehicle infractions.

BLOODY SPOT IN THE EYE
It can be quite disconcerting to look in the mirror and discover that you have a spot of blood under the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that covers the surface of your eye. Called a “subconjunctival hemorrhage,” the condition can occur without you knowing it, following a forceful cough, sneeze, or straining effort. The conjunctiva contains tiny blood vessels that can break (or leak) after sudden increases in pressure. In these cases, the redness usually clears up within a week or two as the blood is reabsorbed. However, if pain or any change in vision is experienced, the ophthalmologist should be consulted. Subconjunctival hemorrhaging is also related to “diabetic retinopathy,” which should not be allowed to go untreated. Despite its bloody appearance, a subconjunctival hemorrhage should cause no change in your vision, no discharge from your eye, and no pain. Your only discomfort may be a scratchy feeling on the surface of your eye. SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES is dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care. To schedule an appointment, please call our office at 732-349-5622. Our doctors take the time to listen to and answer your questions so that you can make the best choices to fit your unique needs and lifestyle.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Seaside Heights To Build Museum On Borough Ocean Front
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Constr uction will start soon to build a museum that will house the borough’s most historic attraction, the Dentzel-Looff carousel which was removed last fall from the Casino Pier Arcade. Borough off icials recently voted to award $2,597,000 to the constr uction f ir m Epic Management to constr uct the planned building which will also serve as a meeting place. The museum will be located on what is now a vacant lot between Carteret and Sampson avenues on the boardwalk. Epic Ma n age me nt is re s p on sible for building RWJ Bar nabas Athletic Health Performance Center in Pisca-
taway as well as the School of Communication building at Montclair State University. The borough took ownership of the famous 1910 carousel, in 2016 from the Casino Pier as part of a property swap. Seaside Heights received the carousel and a block of land in exchange for beachfront property that Casino Pier could expand on without having to build over the ocean. New Jersey’s Green Acres fund has provided $750,000 in grant funding toward the project. Epic Management was chosen in a unanimous vote of the council on July 1 having the lowest bid on the project. This marked the mayor and council’s fi rst “live” council meeting since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Homelessness:
residential zone, there are fewer neighbors to say “not in my back yard.”
The Parkway Motel, formerly the Americana, is located at 925 Route 166. It is near the intersection of Route 9 and Route 37. When inspectors came in 2019, they found parts of the ceiling missing, mold, electrical hazards, and trash littering the property. The building was deemed unlivable. Despite being unlivable, there were 18 people living there at the time. Most of them had jobs but couldn’t afford a safe place to live on minimum wage jobs, especially while paying $250 a week (and in some cases more) to live in substandard housing. The neighboring Hana restaurant is also shut down and for sale, and the combination of both properties would be ideal, he said. It’s within walking distance of a grocery store, a pharmacy, and other social services. And since it’s in a commercial zone, not a
Cost There’s a cost in taking care of people. Turnbach pointed to studies that showed that it’s cheaper to provide transitional housing programs rather than Band-aid measures. He had spoken with the county to establish a Homelessness Trust Fund, but the county disagrees with this. It would set aside money funded by a fee of a few dollars spent by people filing documents with the county. Currently, the Code Blue shelter is run by volunteers, but they are not the only ones. A network of religious and social services groups are in constant contact with each other and the homeless and food insecure people in the area. One of them, he said, is even in the process of acquiring a grant to buy the Parkway Motel property.

Continued From Page 4 coach in 2018 and 2019 of the Australian National Team and ran the performance department for Baseball South Australia. Adamson earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Spor t Science from Angelo State University in San Angelo, Tx., where he was an NCAA Division II All-American in 2009 and 2010. He was to have been Lakewood’s 14th manager. He could not be reached for comment. Among the possible team members were pitcher Jose Conopoima, catcher Logan O’Hoppe and outfielder Corbin Williams. Each played last year for the Williamsport (Pa.) Crosscutters of the New York-Penn League, a short-season Class A circuit one level below Lakewood. Conopoima posted a 2.83 earned run average and struck out 43 batters in 47 innings. Williams sped to 30 stolen bases. O’Hoppe slugged five home runs. The BlueClaws were in training camp from early through mid-March in Clearwater, Fl., where the Phillies train. Other Events Scheduled Ricciutti said other activities with restrictions are planned at FirstEnergy Park. “The baseball season was cancelled,” he said, “but FirstEnergy Park was not. We’ll have barbecues, film series, driving range stuff. Our batting cages will be utilized. We will have ballpark tours that will offer a behind the scenes look.
The Toms River Times, July 11, 2020, Page 13 We will have lots of unique stuff. The dates and activities will be announced. We want to keep the fans engaged. We love hosting people at the park.” Ricciutti said the team’s staff for home games consists of up to 400 persons. “Many staff members have spent 20 years with us,” he said. “It’s a big operation. The ripple effects are significant. This situation is heartbreaking for our fans, our staff and our colleagues in minor league baseball. We like to see smiling families and kids.” Ricciutti declined to discuss layoffs, furloughs and hours reductions. “Unfortunately, we don’t comment publicly on that out of respect,” he said. NEWSY NOTES: A total of 95 former Lakewood players have been members of major league teams entering this season. They include former Philadelphia stars Cole Hamels and Ryan Howard. Rhys Haskins, who played for the BlueClaws in 2015, stars for the Phillies. A total of 17 ex-Lakewood players are in the initial Phillies Player Pool as the team prepares for its season. Lakewood won the SAL title in 2006, 2009 and 2010. This year’s league was to have consisted of 14 teams to as far south as Georgia. The BlueClaws came to Lakewood in January of 2000, setting up shop in a nearby executive office on Airport Road. They began play in 2001.

Pelvic Physical Therapy as a Treatment for Constipation | By Dr. Jamie Scomak, PT Did you know that out of 100 people, 16 individuals suffer from constipation? In adults older than 60 years of age, 33 out of 100 individuals experience symptoms of constipation. The common signs of constipation include: straining during bowel movements because your stool is too difficult or painful to pass, having fewer than three bowel movements per week, and/ or the feeling of incomplete evacuation. A pelvic physical therapist can help with constipation in many ways... Here are just a few conservative treatment approaches a pelvic PT can take with you to better your constipation:

• Increasing the amount of fibers and fluids in your diet...Fibers allow for quicker movement of fecal matter throughout the intestines by bulking up stool and making it softer, larger and easier to pass. One should have 14 grams of fiber for every 1000 calories eaten every day. Foods containing more than 20% of the daily value of fiber per serving are
considered high in fiber and should be eaten regularly. In addition, a body that is happily hydrated draws less water from the intestines, allowing for stool to be bulkier and easier to pass. Drinking over 8 glasses of water a day is not only important to better constipation, but when increasing the amount of fiber in your diet, you want to do so while increasing the amount of water to avoid bloating, cramping, or gas. • Increasing the amount of physical activity you are getting...Exercise increases the nervous system, which stimulates contractions along the gut to further move stool along. There are many ways to exercise to create happy bowels. Do you like weight training, walking, running, other cardio activity like the elliptical and stairmaster? Try adding physical activity into your daily routine to get your bowels moving along. • Learning pelvic floor muscle coordination...When the pelvic floor muscles do not properly relax in order to have a bowel movement, constipation may persist. One way to address this is to perform a Reverse
Kegel, this is the opposite of a pelvic floor muscle contraction and a pelvic physical therapist can assist you on how to properly perform these. • Learning proper toileting techniques/ modifications… Modifying your toileting posture to one in a deep squat creates an angle in the rectal canal that causes the least amount of strain, allowing for easier passage of stool. Ways in which you can get into this proper toileting posture in by getting your legs up on a stack of books or a stool in order to elevate your feet so gravity is assisting the passage of stool. Addition of a Squatty Potty to your bathroom is a cost effective and easy fix to this problem! • Design and stick to a toileting schedule...Regardless if there is an urge or not, scheduling when you use the bathroom 20-30 minutes following a meal can encourage a bowel movement by utilizing a reflex that tells your intestines to move when your stomach is full.
massage...Abdominal massage can stimulate wave- like contractions throughout your intestines, which helps move waste along the digestive tract. Each individual is different when it comes to their experience suffering from constipation. When seeking treatment from a pelvic physical therapist at IDPT, an individualized treatment plan is created, along with ways to progress the program. IDPT works one- on- one with patients to address each and every need, in which we understand varies tremendously from one patient to another. If you have any questions, feel free to contact one of our specialized pelvic physical therapists at our Toms River (732.506.3471) or Ocean (732.508.9926) office. Thanks! We hope to hear from you soon.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE East Dover Teacher Named Top Inspiring Educator SAN DIEGO - In recognition of inspirational teaching nationwide, Kelly Wilbert a fifth-grade teacher at East Dover Elementary School in Toms River, has been named a recipient of the National Universit y System-Sanford Teacher Award for New Jersey on a sur prise Zoom announcement. During a year of unprecedented challenges for teachers nationwide, the Sanford Teacher Award honors the top teacher in each state and the District of Columbia with $10,000 for supporting student development and achievement in inspirational and harmonious ways. The award was established in the name of philanthropist T. Denny Sanford, who is committed to supporting inspiring teaching nationwide through PreK-12 programs focused on developing the social and emotional (SEL) skills of young people. Each teacher recipient is now eligible to be named the national winner of the Sanford Teacher Award, which comes with a total award of $50,000 and will be announced at a future date. In Ms. Wilbert’s classroom, students have choices and work towards a common goal, says principal Matthew Gray. He marvels at how Ms. Wilbert finds various ways to help her multiple disabled students gain early literacy skills and achieve their behavioral goals, making their school fully inclusive. Ms. Wilbert pushes her students to encourage each other to succeed. She challenged her fifth-grade class to start
a “chain reaction of kindness.” Her students created a paper chain with each link representing an act of kindness received or given. The class added to this chain throughout the year and spread this kindness initiative, visiting other classrooms to show them how to begin the chain project and to recruit other friends and classes to spread the “reaction” throughout the school and town. To encourage greater acceptance of special needs students with their peers, she helps all students recognize that everyone is capable of growth, acknowledge each other’s unique strengths, and to be compassionate that has led to significant progress in supporting social development. She is a pioneer in implementing the Sanford Harmony program, which promotes tolerance, positive peer relationships, empathy, and communications and self-regulation skills. Special needs students have peers who help model appropriate behavior. The children are able to practice and refine their social skills in a supportive and caring environment. Kelly Wilber t and the other state awardees were selected before COVID-19 shut down schools, but have continued to use online settings to support the social and emotional wellbeing of their students during the current crisis. The teachers were selected by a committee of educators and faculty based on an application process that included nominations and information provided (Educator - See Page 21)

EXPERIENCE MATTERS!
#2 Busiest Breast Surgery Practice In America (According To The National CMS Rankings.)
Four Reasons to Elevate Breast Cancer Awareness May and October are the Official Breast Cancer Awareness months, but we passionately believe that everyone can be taking steps to raise awareness about breast cancer every month of the year. Currently breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women and 1-in-8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Fortunately, over 3.3 million breast cancer survivors are alive in the United States today. Raising awareness about breast cancer is one of the most powerful ways we can increase the number of women who survive the disease. When women and their loved ones are informed and aware of the risks of breast cancer, a life saving ripple effect occurs. • Women will get more mammograms, which save lives • Women will not be ashamed of breast cancer and will seek treatment sooner • The American public will be willing to donate and provide financial assistance and help women to obtain life-saving treatments • Concerned citizens will become more vocal in making politicians especially aware of the need to fund cancer research With these efforts in recent years, we have seen a gradual reduction of breast cancer incident rates in women over the age of 50. Death rates have been rapidly been declining since about 1990. This is in a large part due to the increased awareness and early detection from mammographies and ongoing advances in the treatment options. What can you do? You can become more informed with reputable websites, such as Breast360.org, which has information written by breast surgeons. Or you can donate to find ways to support women with breast cancer at the American Cancer Society. You should encourage women in your life to do regular breast selfexams at home and get routine mammographies. Especially for women who feel a lump in their breasts. Together we can raise awareness for breast cancer throughout the year and well beyond the national breast cancer months. Public Service Information taken from written studies and published data.

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

The Four Best Natural Antihistamines By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
This time of year, causes a lot of grief for people who have allergies. Of course, we have terrific antihistamines now, and you can buy nationwide. I am not opposed to the antihistamines though, if you take them in moderation. But you should also lower your histamine burden through diet. Did you know you could do that? Many people do not realize that the foods they’re eating contribute to the histamine they liberate in their body. It can ultimately cause or contribute to an existing autoimmune condition. For a free food guide on histamine, visit suzycohen. com/hashi. Here are the 4 best natural antihistamines: • Ginger is not only a histamine blocker, but is also great for your levels of cytokines, and immune function. Ginger is probably best known for its ability to ward off nausea, and soothe stomach aches, however, another important medicinal component of ginger fights inflammation in the bones and joints. Ginger is easy to use and fast acting. Shave off the skin of a piece of raw ginger root. Cut a half-inch piece off and slice it, then simmer in 3 to 4 cups of water for about 15 minutes. Adding lemon will boost antioxidant power. • Vitamin C. This is a natural immune supplement, and deficiencies are known to increase risk of allergies. It can also make collagen which is needed for a healthy immune response, and shortening the duration and/or severity of discomfort. You’ll find vitamin C naturally in citrus fruits, kiwi, bell peppers and squash. As
for the type of Vitamin C, if you’re using more than say, 100mg per day of C, I’d recommend a naturally derived type of supplement with citrus bioflavonoids which would offer the C from a food or fruit (like an orange, cherries or lemons). Synthesized C from corn is shown on labels as “ascorbic acid.” • Quercetin. Quercetin is a naturally-occurring antioxidant found in many fruits, grapes, tea and especially capers! A lot of scientific research suggests that having quercetin in your diet relieves allergy symptoms because this compound stabilizes mast cells. As a perk, quercetin can improve mood due to the gentle lift in your dopamine and downline catecholamine neurotransmitters. Do not take more than your supplement label advises because toxic amounts of quercetin can lead to temporary neuropathy and headaches. DHQ is short for dihydroquercetin and is a biologically available antioxidant very similar to quercetin. • Thyme. This fresh-tasting herb contains a lot of vitamin C as well as thymol, its major active medicinal component. Thymol has properties that block histamine release from mast cells, and can block it at the receptor site. Buy fresh sprigs of thyme at the grocery store, and include a few leaves in your recipes from now on. You can also buy pure essential oil of thyme and have them apply it to your pedicure oil during massage, or you can diffuse it in the air. Some high-quality brands can be taken internally in a capsule. If you are allergic to oregano, you may also be cross-sensitive to thyme.

Continued From Page 15 by each teacher. Sanford Teacher Award winners were selected for demonstrating high levels of inspirational teaching practices by engaging students, building student confidence, motivating students to succeed, giving students a voice and creating an inclusive environment. The qualities ref lect the mission of education-focused programs based on the vision of Mr. Sanford that are being expanded nationally through the leadership of the private, nonprofit National University System. It’s anchor institution, National University, is home to the Sanford College of Education, which is one of the nation’s Top Ten Largest Schools of Education. T he Sanford Programs include Sanford Harmony, a PreK-6 social emotional learning program that helps children develop communication and collaboration skills, and the PreK-12 Sanford Inspire program that offers teachers research-based resources and lessons to create inspiring classroom experiences. “The National University System is so pleased to be honoring the vision of philanthropist T. Denny Sanford by recognizing inspiring teachers around the country through the Sanford Teacher Awards,” said Dr. Michael R. Cunningham, Chancellor of the San Diego-based National University System. “Teachers give so much of themselves to their students, schools and communities, and the Sanford Teacher Award is a way for us to celebrate the contributions of inspiring teachers who encourage children to reach their greatest potential.” The Sanford Teacher Awards is part of the national expansion effor ts of the National University System-based Sanford Programs, which in addition to Sanford Harmony and Sanford Inspire
The Toms River Times, July 11, 2020, Page 21 also includes a national net work of fundraiser training programs anchored by the Sanford Institute of Philanthropy at National University. All are based on t he v ision of M r. Sa n ford , who has committed to giving away most of his wealth during his lifetime. Mr. Sanford has given to health care and education-related initiatives, including the Sanford Programs at the National University System. “As a child, I was fortunate to have a few teachers who truly inspired me to learn and succeed. Educators have many similar opportunities to touch children’s lives and have had a profound inf luence on their lives and learning,” said Mr. Sanford. “As an entrepreneur and philanthropist, I can think of no better retur n on investment than inspiring students to embrace learning and their path in life.” The 2020 awardees will join last year’s cohorts of awardees, continue to work with the Sanford Harmony and Inspire Programs and receive training in communications and advocacy for teaching that is inspirational and grounded in social and emotional development. The National University System is a network of accredited nonprofit education institutions serving higher education and K-12 students that includes National University; John F. Kennedy University; City University of Seattle; and Northcentral University. NU was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st Century.

By Joel Markel
Dear Joel Life: A New Normal
Dear Joel, Now that things are beginning to open -up in NJ I would like for my wife and I to start venturing out to restaurants, socialize with friends, and go retail shopping. My wife on the other hand is still extremely concerned about leaving the house and being around other people. I respect her feelings but at the same time my cabin fever is almost unbearable. I have socialized with a few of my guy friends which caused such anxiety for my wife, that it’s almost not worth doing. I am beginning to worry that she will never leave our house for anything more than the essentials. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can help her to begin the ‘re-entry’ process into life outside our four walls? Answer: With the mixed messages we’ve received from the media, and the continuing rise in cases around the country, your wife’s fears are understandable. However, we need to accept the fact that
COVID-19 is something we may have to live with for quite some time. Remind her that with the proper protection and practices, such as avoiding large crowds and closed spaces, we can still enjoy life. Businesses of all types recognize that customers are anxious and have made the necessary accommodations. Try small trips to quiet places, dining outside at off-peak hours, even a drive-in movie. Perhaps a short visit to a friend’s backyard will help her regain the confidence to get back out there. Above all, have patience, this is a different experience for everyone. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.
If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566 (800603-CARE (2273). “Home health care with feeling. (“Home Health Care with Feeling”)

Hurricane:
Continued From Page 1 Governor Chris Christie said the losses caused by Sandy were “going to be almost incalculable...The devastation on the Jersey Shore is probably going to be the worst we’ve ever seen.” [3] And unfortunately, it looks like 2020 will be also be an active hurricane season. This year, again there will not be an El Nino to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity either, says NOAA. “NOAA’s analysis of current and seasonal atmospheric conditions reveals a recipe for an active Atlantic hurricane season this year,” said Neil Jacobs, acting NOAA administrator. “Our skilled forecasters, coupled with upgrades to our computer models and obser ving tech nologies, will provide accu rate and timely forecasts to protect life and property.” The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1st to Nov. 30. New Jersey’s tropical storm activity occurs between August and late October. Sandy pummeled New Jersey on Oct. 30, 2012. Warmer than usual sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, reduced vertical wind shear, weaker tropical Atlantic t rade w i nd s a nd a n en ha nced west African monsoon season all increase the chances of an above-normal 2020 hurricane season. A hurricane is a huge storm that can be up to 600 miles across and have strong winds spiraling inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 mph. They can be life-threatening as well as cause serious property-threatening hazards such as f looding, storm surge, high winds and tornadoes. So what were some of the worst hur-
ricanes and storms to batter the Jersey Shore? The Perfect Storm - Oct. 31, 1991 The 1991 Halloween Nor’easter brought massive waves of up to 30 feet. High t ide s a long t he Je r sey Shor e we r e only surpassed by those of the 1944 hur r icane. Sig nif icant bay f looding occur red. Strong waves and intense winds caused extreme beach erosion. In all, damage amounted to $90 million (1991 USD), though no deaths occurred in the state. The Great Atlant ic Hurr icane September 1944 - Destroyed hundreds of homes, did major damage to Long Beach Island, Ocean City, Atlantic City and Cape May. Bridges in some towns were destroyed. Hurricane Donna - September 1960 The nor’easter brought 100 mph winds and 5 to 6 inches of rain in New Jersey. Nine people died in the state. The name “Donna” will never be used again for a hur r icane because of the sever it y of the storm. The hurricane produced 105 mph (169 km/h) wind gusts and a storm surge of 6 feet (2 m) near Atlantic City, and 8.99 in (228 mm) of rainfall near Hammonton,.[26][37] One person died related to a heart attack during the storm.[1] The Storm of March 1962 - Also known as the Great Storm of the Jersey Shore and the Ash Wednesday Storm. The late James J. Mancini - longtime mayor of Long Beach Township for decades and an Ocean County Freeholder - considered the March 1962 storm the worst on Long Beach Island. Six hundred homes on Long Beach Island were lost. Seven people died, including Long Beach Township Police Chief Angelo J. Leonetti, Township Police Commissioner Kenneth G. Chipman, First Aider Robert Osborn and two elderly couples.

Water Activity Safety As July is one of the hottest months of the year, many families turn to water activities to beat the heat. However, even fun water activities have serious risks if the proper precautions aren’t taken. Here are some tips for safety: • Review safe boating practices. • Never consume alcohol while driving a boat. • Before boating, always check that there
are enough life preservers on hand for every passenger. • Set water safety rules for your family. • Pools should be enclosed completely with a fence to restrict access to the area. Consider installing wireless outdoor sensors that will alert you via phone or with a chime inside your home if the sensors are activated. Keep a fi rst aid kit near the pool.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits! By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization.
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Christopher R. Shea Esq.
Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. (732) 505-1212.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE By Michael Vandenberg For almost 25 years, “Exceptional Care without Exception” has been the motto and guiding pr inc iple for N ew Jersey Hematolo gy Oncology Associates (NJHOA). If you’ve gotten that terrible cancer diagnosis, or are in the midst of a blood disease, you’ll want to come to a practice where you’re treated with dignity and efficiency. A place where you can get compassionate care with a smile. That plac e has always been NJHOA. Dr. Gir ish A min started the practice i n 19 9 6 i n B r i c k . His approach was highly suc c es sf ul and well-regarded,

s o i t wa s n’ t l o n g before he decided to add more locations across Ocean Count y and addi tional doctors who shared his philosophy. Dr. Jayne Pavlak- Schenk joined the team in 2000. Currently there are four doctors on staff, including Dr. Apurv Agrawal and Dr. Randi Katz. T h ey a r e l o c ate d at 1608 Route 88 West, Suite 250 in Brick; Winding River Medical Park at 508 L akehur st Road, Suite 1B in Toms River; Hope Tower at 19 Davis Avenue, 2nd Floor in Neptune; and 63D Lacey Road in Whiting. Since our last prof ile on NJHOA , a new doctor joined the team: Dr. Randi
Dr. Randi Katz
Katz. Although she may be new to the practice, she knows the area well, having practiced Hematology and Oncology in both Ocean and Monmouth counties for over 10 years. She keeps busy helping the valued pat i e nt s of t h e s e counties, being on staff at Ocean Medical Center, Jersey Shore Medical Center, and Community Medical Center. She employs joint-decision making with all of her patients. It’s not just NJHOA’s overall philosophy on patient care that draws like-minded physicians like Dr. Kat z to the prac tic e, but also the amount of services they provide for patients. A lot of their
focus is specifically on diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the prac tic e places a great deal of value on symptom management to maximize the quality of life of their patients. They accomplish that not just with medic ations, but by c reating a share d c are p lan with their patients and their families to help them achieve their goals of care. NJ H OA t r i e s to keep most aspects of testing and treatm e nt i n - h o u s e i n an effort to provide complete care for cancer and prioritize convenience for their patients. The practice features a state-of-the-art lab for testing including r out ine bl o o d work, flow cytometry for blood disorders, hereditar y cancer screening tests, and molecular profiling of tumors. NJHOA also offers on-site i nf u s i o n s of c h e motherapy, mono clonal antibodies, biological agents, hor mone therapy, iron infusions, therapeutic phlebotomy, and bone mar row aspiration and biopsy. They also infuse immunotherapy treatments including Provenge, Yer voy, Opdivo, Key truda, and Tecentriq. There is an on-site pharmacy for dispensing oral medic ations including oral chemotherapy medications. The practice molecularly profiles tumors of their cancer patients when appropriate to help create a targeted treatment plan. Dr.
Dr. Apurv Agrawal Agrawal explained that, “targeted treatment based on molecular profiling of a patients tumor offers not only a personalized treatment but a greater likelihood of success for patients”. Molecular profiling of tumors and immunotherapy are on the forefront of cancer treatment. Besides treatment, they also offer hereditary canc er sc reening for their patients. “The genes we are born with may contribute to our risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer,” said D r. A m i n. “ I f yo u have a family history of cancer, we
can help you understand your risk for disease. We of fer genetic counseling and testing, and can assist you in making info r m e d m e dic al decisions.” One Toms River resident was planning to enroll in a clinical trial in New York Cit y to treat h e r S t ag e 4 lun g c anc er. T he do c tor in NYC advised the patient to see Dr. Agrawal since that same clinical trial was available at NJHOA . It was practically next door and she’d still be able to participate in the trial. It was a win-win, thanks to the practice having a robust clinical trial program. “Some cancer patients may
fear that enrolling in a clinical trial means they might receive a plac ebo or that the treatment might h ave a d ve r s e ef fects, but the reality is that patients in clinical trials receive either the best c a n c e r t r e at m e nt currently known for them or new, and possibly more effective, therapy,” said Dr. Pavlak-Schenk. New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates offers complete cancer care and allows patients to get cutting edge treatment close to home.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 11 - july 17
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): YMake the most of your spare time. Use it to be constructive and diligent, as free time may come at a premium later in the week. Prioritize responsibilities to be sure to get things done. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): You may have an urge to walk on the wild side, but some minor changes may be all it takes to relieve apathy or boredom. Stay with what has been proven good for you and don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Go all in or don’t go at all. You will enjoy activities more if you fully commit to being a part of the festivities rather than hesitating to become involved. Overthinking a problem might make it seem more diďŹƒcult. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Believe it when you see it. Do not rely on promises or assurances from someone until you have concrete evidence in front of you. You will fare better when you do not seek outside help for your projects. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. Point someone in the right direction but don’t bend over backward or try to force the issue if they are not ready. Rely on your own skills to succeed. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is a time and place for everything. Make sure of this through the careful planning of your schedule for the coming week. Too much spontaneity could use up needed time and leave you struggling to catch up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Build a strong foundation. Your judgment may be slightly off today, so get information and advice from as many sources as possible. Friendships should stand on their own and not be subject to conditions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remember that it’s often the thought that counts. Be gracious when someone offers a token of esteem, even if it’s something you do not really care to receive. Don’t let the heat of competition make your temper boil. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Let your imagination run wild. Daydreaming about excitement and adventure can be the next best thing to being there. Show that you really mean business when the workweek begins. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be setting the bar too high. Ideals are for you to strive for; if you hold others to impossible expectations, it creates disappointment on both sides. Accept others for who they are and don’t be judgmental. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Winning isn’t everything. You shouldn’t get so caught up in competing that you forget to enjoy yourself and others. Concentrate on friendship and fun and don’t worry about who is the best. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Make tea for two. Give a special someone your undivided attention this Sunday and find something to do that you can both enjoy. Have it your way today, as free time could be scarce in the week ahead.
