By Chris Lundy BER K ELEY – If you’re kayaking on Cedar Creek, and you need to call for help, how can you tell the police where you are? That was the problem tackled by Griffin Petry as part of his Eagle Scout project. He and
Troop 9503 installed signs throughout the creek’s length telling travelers where they are. If a kayaker suffers a medical emergency, they can tell police what the last marker they remember was. Each marker has a number and a color. First re-
sponders in the area were provided a map of where the markers are so that they can find people on the river. I n it ially, a nother scout had attempted this project years ago when Griffin was just a Cub Scout. It was hard to get through all the
Richter Wins Bitter 3rd District Primary
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – After months of infighting, Republicans have chosen David Richter to take on Congressman Andy Kim in November. Richter received 20,948 votes and Kate Gibbs received 10,126 votes in the Primary Election. They were competing in the third Congressional District, which is made up of parts of Ocean and Burlington counties. The winner will challenge the incumbent to represent the district in the House of Representatives. The two candidates had been lobbing shots at
each other for months. They agreed on many matters of policy but they each challenged the other’s credibility. Gibbs accused Richter of being a failed businessman who cozied up to Joe Biden’s brother to get a construction deal in the Middle East. He was compared to Where’s Waldo, and painted as a district shopper who doesn’t care about the 3rd District and just rented a place to run in the election. Richter accused Gibbs of working for a union that raised costs of transportation projects and endorsed Democrats. She was compared to (Primary - See Page 4)

By Chris Lundy BER K ELEY – The Cent ral Regional Board of Education reached a contract with the teachers union after a long negotiating process. “I am very excited that we finalized a contract which provides stability over the next four years and is fair to both the teachers and the taxpayers,” Board President Louis Tuminaro said. “It was a long process and I commend both sides for working hard to get it done. We are fortunate to have the board, teachers, parents, administration and our mayors’ support for the benefit of our students.” “I am extremely grateful that our negotiations have been settled and the agreement will provide our students with 15 minutes of additional instruction time per day,” Board Vice President Denise Wilson said. “The schedule is a true block with four 80-minute classes each day. This schedule provides our students with four additional classes a year where they can choose to take higher level academic and elective classes. Central Regional is all about providing more opportunities for students.” There were more than 15 meetings between administration, Board members and the Central Regional Education Association, Business Administrator Kevin O’Shea said. He thanked Tuminaro, Wilson, Tracy Mianulli and Susan Cowdrick for their work. “The biggest accomplishment from the

Toms River Halloween Parade Cancelled By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – It took a disaster to stop one of the most iconic events on the Jersey Shore: the Toms River Halloween Parade has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The parade is annually run by Toms River Fire Co. No. 1. It has
a history of entertaining locals for decades. It is billed as the second largest Halloween parade in the world, and can have upwards of 6,000 viewers. The Downtown area is shut down and people compete for seats. (Parade - See Page 9)

the Third District and unifying the Republican Party as we work together to flip the district from blue to red this November.” Kate Gibbs issued a statement after conceding the race. “Tonight’s election didn’t have the outcome I had hoped for but I am extremely proud of the race we ran. While I move on to the next chapter of my life, I will continue to fight for what is right and stand up for conservative principles,” she said. “I will always be grateful for the support of all those who stood by and with me. “It’s the hundred year anniversary of women’s suffrage and, sadly, Alice Paul’s home has never been represented by a woman in Congress. While the loss hurts, I hope my campaign helps to inspire and encourage other women to challenge the good ‘ol boys club, run for office, and make sure their voices are heard. I want little girls to grow up believing they can come from humble beginnings and can serve in the hallowed halls of Congress,” she said. In Ocean County, Richter received 16,637
votes and Gibbs received 4,345. There were 130 write-in votes. Gibbs did better in Burlington County, where she used to be a Freeholder. She received 5,781 votes to Richter’s 4,311. There were 82 write-ins. Approximately 31,000 Republicans voted in the 3rd District Primary. Congressman Andy Kim didn’t have a primary challenge, but voters still came out for him. In Ocean County, Kim received 18,201 votes. There were 105 write-ins. In Burlington County, Kim received 24,897 votes. There were 68 write-ins. Approximately 43,000 Democrats voted in the 3rd District Primary. These figures came from the election board websites of the counties involved. The results will be unofficial until later this month. Ocean County Clerk Scott Colabella said that while the voting is over, the counting is not. The county was still collecting ballots by
mail up until July 14, as long as they were postmarked by July 7. There were also provisional ballots that are still being checked. These are for people who voted in person, and they would need to be checked to make sure they didn’t also vote by mail. The figures will be finalized July 24. Still, even without the final numbers, this was an impressive amount of people to vote in an election that was primarily by mail. “Mail-in voting means voters don’t have to choose between their health and their democracy, a choice no one should ever have to make,” Kim said in a statement. “In the past few weeks, I’ve seen an incredible amount of enthusiasm and energy for this campaign, and I think that showed at the ballot box with our impressive showing. I’ve spent every day since I was elected to Congress working for the people of New Jersey, and that’s how I plan on winning re-election - by showing up and earning their support.” The General Election will be Nov. 3.
Signs:
Jersey Rents donated sign post drivers. Forked River Outdoor Group (the kayak rental place on Double Trouble Road) let them use their kayaks and canoes. The one difficult part was the timing. The troops had to go out in November and December because that’s when the paperwork from the state came in. So, it was a colder trip than
they would have liked. However, it also meant there was no traffic on the creek because no one else wanted to be out in that cold. Another fallback was that when they installed the markers in winter, they were placed where the troops thought they’d be the most visible. In spring, the plants grew back and obscured some of their work. So,
that was another problem to solve. The markers are already helping people, he said. They received a call from a police officer that had to help a group of Girl Scouts on the river and they had remembered the signs. On Facebook, they learned of a family who made a game of trying to spot the signs as they go down the river.
Continued From Page 1 Snooki due to her youthful indiscretions of shoplifting and drug and alcohol charges. Richter issued a statement thanking his supporters and hoping to grow more support. “I’m not a politician, this is my first election, but I already know that running for Congress is tough, and it is only going to get tougher from here as we move on to challenge Andy Kim in the general election,” he said. “Just like in the primary race, we fully expect to be outspent in the general election, but that is where all of you will be even more important. We are building a grassroots campaign like this district has never seen before and I have no doubt that we will defeat Andy Kim. “I would like to thank my opponent Kate Gibbs for her concession and to commend her for running a tough, hard-fought race,” he said. “I’m looking forward to earning the votes of Kate’s many supporters throughout

Town Hall On Veterans’ Issues To Be By Phone
By Chris Lundy WASHINGTON, D.C. – Those interested in veterans issues are encouraged to call in to a telephone town hall that will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 23. The call will be hosted by Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03). He will be joined by Congressman Mark Takano (CA-41), Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, to talk about what Congress has done to improve care and services for our veterans. Another topic will be an update on the effort to bring a new veterans’ health care facility to Ocean County. “The Veterans Administration has failed twice in the past four years to secure a location for a new and updated health care facility for our veterans. I’ve been working with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to fi nd out why and will be providing
further updates in the coming months,” Kim said. The current facility in Brick has inadequate parking and too few staff to handle the amount of veterans needing care. “Our veterans are a critical part of Burlington and Ocean Counties, so when issues impact them, they impact us all,” said Congressman Kim. “Whether it’s helping our veterans get back on their feet in the wake of the coronavirus crisis or making sure the VA follows through on its promises to provide good health care to those who served, shining a light on these issues is critical. I look forward to hearing from people across our communities during this town hall.” To sign up for the town hall, visit kim. house.gov/live This will be the Congressman’s 23rd town hall.
Correction In the July 11 story, “Town Backs Councilman For Land Preservation Board,” Freeholder Virginia Haines, said that Berkeley Councilman John Bacchione is still sitting on the Workforce Development Board. After the meeting, Bacchione explained to a reporter that he hasn’t been on the Workforce board in four years.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E DITORIAL Newspaper Will Not Endorse Candidates Here in the letters page, we give you a chance to endorse the candidate of your choice. You’ll see endorsements for any party.

Summer Camp: A Place to Build Resiliency As New Jersey camps reopen and welcome children and teens for summer adventure in the great outdoors, there is a special opportunity to spend time building critical social and emotional skills among campers. The long months of quarantine have taken a toll on our kids, and health professionals are raising concerns about their social and emotional well-being. Psychology Today recently reported: “Research shows that children and adolescents are experiencing mental distress due to the disruptions of the closure of schools, activities, and maintaining social and physical distancing.” While summer camps look slightly different this season with smaller groups, optional face masks and hand sanitizer stations, they still offer a unique environment where children can explore nature and connect with each other. When kids spend high-quality time outdoors, they thrive physically, emotionally, and intellectually. In an outdoor setting, they discover a strong sense of self, gain practical life skills and become resourceful problem solvers. Summer camp provides a vital building block to support children’s growth and social-emotional development. It can be a life-changing experience as kids cultivate relationships and learn from their social interactions with new friends. Year after year, kids share that the best part of camp is making lasting friendships. For families not comfortable sending their kids to outdoor day camps, there are plenty of virtual camp options that incorporate engaging online activities with other children. Girl Scouts, for example, is offering summer camp adventures at home with plenty of activities to complete away from a screen and open to all. In this time of social distancing, we must remain committed to fostering healthy connections and supporting the social-emotional growth and learning of our children. Eileen Higgins CEO, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore
Letters To tations, The Editor she looked like my March 13th, had 15% of my Trump Votes By Mail Do you know who’s voting by mail this election? Donald Trump. And do you know who’s making it harder for everyone else in the country to vote by mail in the middle of a global pandemic? That’s right - Donald Trump. He and other White House officials have gone on record with false claims against mail-in voting, even though it’s one of the safest options for us to cast our ballots as the country recovers from this pandemic. In the face of Trump’s hypocrisy, I expect Congress to do the right thing and provide both economic relief and expanded funding for no-excuse absentee voting, early voting, and other options to make voting safer this November. These are all common-sense reforms that a vast majority of Americans support and changes that would help increase voter participation during and after this crisis. Even though Congress allocated some funds to help states implement these voting reforms, without an additional $3.6 billion in election assistance funding, some voters may not be able to make their voices heard during one of the most important elections of our lifetime. We must prevent a situation where voters are forced to choose between protecting their health and casting a ballot - no matter what Trump says. Congress has the ability to act right now and we need to make sure our representatives know that anything less than immediate action is unacceptable. Joann Pichiarello Manchester
Support Local Workers (And Be Nice To Them) I spoke with my daughter before writing this. She is a hairdresser in Manahawkin. When she sent me a picture of her first day, with mask and shield and then at the end with markings and irri-
son, who’s a doctor, only he’s supposed to wear this, and he gets paid a hell of a lot more money. Her days and her colleagues’ days are long, very long, they are not making the money they once made. Why? Because they are limited to the amount of people they can have in the salon. On top of all that, the amount of cleaning that needs to be done after each person is unbelievable. I write this because I’ve seen many (Facebook) posts over establishments charging more money. Do any of you have any idea how much money these establishments have lost? Even if they received any of these government loans, do you really believe it covers all their expenses? I’ve seen hundreds of posts of wanting restaurants, salons, gyms, etc. to open, but, wait, open up on your terms? With the amount of (Personalized protective equipment) they are required to now have, who do you think pays for this? If you only got paid for 25%, how are you truly supposed to make money and yes, feed your family. I ask that you take a minute to understand that these businesses are NOT trying to rip anyone off, take advantage of anyone or gauging. They are trying to survive; they are trying to keep people employed and somehow stay afloat for as long as they can, otherwise all we will have eventually are vacant buildings. My guess is a lot of these workers could probably stay home and make more money on unemployment. They chose to make a go of things and try and get this country back on its feet, so let’s give them a break. If you feel it’s too much money, don’t go. I believe they have those color in box items at the store. Me personally, I don’t want to come out looking like a peep or a clown. I love sitting at a restaurant having a glass of wine and enjoying someone making a wonderful dinner once in a while. If you feel they are asking too much, again, don’t go, make due at home. For me, I work in NYC, haven’t been back since
salary taken from me, along with losing vacation time. It sucks, but I believe it can be worse. It can always be worse. The way I see it now, it is slowly getting better, slowly getting better. So be patient, be understanding and be kind. People just want to get back to doing what they love, and what they do well. If you don’t want to see more auto stores or dollar stores and the like support all these small establishments/ businesses in Barnegat and the surrounding areas. Let’s keep these establishments great! Susan Dangelmajer Barnegat
Richter Can’t Find Toms River On A Map So, we’re stuck with David Richter, huh? It’s bad enough that the Primary election was with a bunch of people from Burlington County, but Richter doesn’t know anything about Ocean County. He doesn’t live anywhere around here really. He supposedly is from Willingboro. I don’t even know where that is. So I guess we’ve got that in common. If there’s a debate, I want them to ask the candidates to find Toms River on a map. I bet he can’t. I bet he doesn’t know that Ortley exists or our development problems or our school funding dilemma. He tried to run for election in the 2nd District until (Congressman Jeff) Van Dr e w swi t c h e d p a r t i e s. When he didn’t have a chance there he moved to the 3rd District. It’s kind of like our (previous) congressman, Tom MacArthur. He rented an apartment just so he could run for office here. These people are pathetic. I’m tired of people just coming in and thinking they can run things around here. They know nothing about us and they don’t care about us. Donald Soto Toms River

Teachers:
Continued From Page 1 Board’s perspective is that we got the 80-minute block schedule that we have been hoping for for so long,” he said. The salary changes are as follows: • 2019-20: 3.5% for teachers; 3.7% for support staff • 2020-21: 3.2%* for teachers; 3.7% for support staff • 2021-22: 3.1% for teachers; 3.7% for support staff
Parade:
The Berkeley Times, July 18, 2020, Page 9 • 2022-23: 3.4% for teachers; 3.7% for support staff • 2023-24: 3.4% for teachers; 3.7% for support staff *An additional $150,000 is being added to the salary pool for teachers in exchange for teaching an 80-minute block schedule. This equates to 15 additional teaching minutes per school day. The healthcare relief fund has no deduc-
tion from Retro check for the fi rst year, and then $112,500 for other years. There is a cap of $50,000 for tuition reimbursement covering all employees. The cap is new this contract. However, language was added that states the tuition must be repaid if the employee leaves the district within two years. Although health benef its were not negotiated, the district returned to the State Health Plan, O’Shea said. This is
estimated to save about $288,000 for calendar year 2020. Additionally, a provision was eliminated regarding mandatory mail order for maintenance medications. A ‘back to the table provision’ is included so that if the district loses more than $500,000 in state aid in either year 4 or 5 of the agreement, the parties are to come back to the table. This provision protects the Board in the event the COVID-19 emergency causes a large recession.

Continued From Page 1 “The Toms River Vol. Fire Co. No. 1 has decided for the safety of the community and all fi rst responders involved due to the ongoing pandemic to cancel this year’s Halloween Parade,” wrote Carl Weingroff, one of the organizers. “This pandemic has struck all aspects of normalcy. Even though the curve has straightened out a little bit the risk is still at a high with the magnitude of people that crowd in the downtown area we feel this is the best decision. This will be the 3rd time in history of the parade being canceled. First being in the 1920s during the depression, 2nd for Hurricane Sandy and now this. “We as always thank each and every one of you and your organizations for the complete and continual support you have given the Toms River Volunteer Fire Co No. 1 in all of our events,” he said. On the up side, the fire company is planning 2021’s parade and already has the date set. It will be Oct. 30, 2021, with a rain date of Monday, Nov. 1, 2021.

By Chris Lundy ASBURY PARK – An investigation into whether a journalist was wrongfully arrested during a protest determined that police mistook him for a protester. The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office investigation determined that the journalist was not arrested to silence a reporter. Rather, he was arrested because he was believed to be a protester who had disobeyed orders to disperse more than two hours after the curfew. During the course of the investigation, 21 people were interviewed, and multiple videos were viewed. Asbury Park Press reporter Gustavo Martinez had been at a protest in Asbury Park on June 1 that was in response to George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis. The city had issued an 8 p.m. curfew. Police said that the protest was peaceful for most of the night. Most complied with the curfew. About 200 of the approximately 1,000 still stayed out. At 10 p.m., officers issued orders via loudspeaker to disburse. The “remaining protestors were taunting and threatening officers, were unruly, and some threw water in officers’ faces. At approximately 10 p.m., the Monmouth County Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) and the NJSP Mobile Field Force were jointly deployed to disperse the crowd.” Within 15 minutes after police in riot gear arrived, officers described the scene as a riot. Two officers were injured, one with a skull fracture from rocks that were being thrown. The police statement does not discuss how many protesters were injured. It also does not discuss whether the presence of police in riot gear caused an increase in violence. Some journalists were wearing fluorescent vests with the word “PRESS” or were carrying large cameras that journalists would use. “Martinez, unfortunately, was one such journalist whose affiliation with a news organization was extremely difficult to discern,” the prosecutor’s office said. He was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans, goggles, a mask, a black helmet and a gray backpack. His press credentials were on a lanyard around his neck that had the word “PRESS” on one side and nothing on the back. He was filming with his cell phone. “When asked by detectives whether his employer provided him with any specific clothing or equipment, Martinez said they did not, but said that his editor did advise him to bring protective gear,” police stated. Video of the arrest, some of it from Martinez’ cell phone, show officers arresting protesters. Martinez walked backward, filming the officers, for some of the video.
Then, the reporter approached officers along with protesters. Officers saw protesters approaching the officer making the arrest, and came to his aid because his back was to the protesters. This was when Martinez was arrested. When the footage is being viewed from the body-worn cameras of the police, Martinez’ press credentials were backwards, with the blank side facing forward. “The area is dark, poorly lit, and loud with yelling going on during the melee. Martinez is heard saying something during his arrest, but what he is saying is indiscernible and difficult to hear. Detectives reviewing the footage could only make out that Martinez said ‘I’m a [inaudible].’ Martinez is wearing a mask, is positioned face down, and there is a lot of commotion making hearing his exact words difficult for both the arresting officers and detectives who reviewed the clip multiple times. After Martinez is handcuffed, the officer advises him that he is going to roll him on his side and to get up on his right knee so the officer can help him up. Notably, after being helped to his feet, Martinez never indicates to either officer he is a member of the press,” the statement said. “In his reporting, Martinez alleged that his cell phone was purposely knocked out of his hands during the arrest, but the two officers involved contend it fell during the arrest. The BWC footage does not clarify this point, but one officer is seen retrieving the phone and placing it in Martinez’s pocket after Martinez was helped to his feet,” the statement said. “After his arrest, Martinez was turned over to other officers, was walked to the transport van and later processed at the Belmar Police Headquarters. Martinez had contact with three officers in the course of being transported to Belmar, but did not indicate to any of them he was a reporter. While being processed in Belmar, Martinez indicated he was a reporter only after an officer took possession of is property, saw his lanyard, and specifically asked Martinez if he worked for the Asbury Park Press. These officers, however, were unaware of the specific circumstances that led to his arrest. Martinez was issued a summons for failing to obey an order to disburse,” the statement continued. “These charges were dismissed later that same morning.” The statement also notes “This investigation was undertaken not because of any direct complaint filed against any individual officer, but due to a number of broader citizen inquiries into the arrest of a journalist the night of the protest. To date, Martinez has not filed a formal complaint against any of the officers involved with either our Office or the Asbury Park Police Department.”

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
The New Normal According To Dr. Izzy New Jersey is continuing to identify new cases of COVID-19 but our “curve” will continue to flatten but the virus will remain with us for at least the remainder of the year. In my opinion, the “new normal” will include a) social distancing, b) continued use of wearing a mask, c) frequent hand washing, and d) no more hugs for a while. Telepractice will become increasing popular in all medical fields, including hearing healthcare. Remote programming of hearing aids has been available for several years, but in my opinion, the majority of our patients calling our offices cannot benefit from remote programming. During this pandemic, due to the frequent use of wearing a mask, dozens have “lost” their hearing instruments or broke a receiver wire. Many other patients have a “dead” hearing aid and the only way to fix it is to send it back to the manufacturer. Remote programming would be a complete waste of time in these instances. We have continued to offer “curbside services” and/or drop off services at our Toms River office. This concierge service is critical during this time of uncertainty as well as the increased importance of communication with family and friends. As our offices begin to transition to

opening again, the “new normal” will require us to scan temperatures, ask patients specific questions related to covid-19 symptoms, stagger appointments so there’s no more than two patients in our office at the same time and allow extra time to disinfect all areas once the patient has left. This “new normal” will significantly limit the total number of patients we can see but it’s absolutely critical to follow these procedures at least for the remainder of the year. For over 30 years, Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and/or can’t communicate with their loved ones because they’re hearing aid stopped working. In these times of social isolation, it’s imperative that we communicate with our loved ones. We need that connection for psychosocial and cognitive support.

Interesting New Facts About Leprosy And COVID
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’m reading a book called The Island (Victoria Hislop) which is about a leper colony and the book is set in the 1900’s where people with leprosy were exiled to an island called Spinalonga, off the coast of Crete (Greece). And people were sent there to live, and to die. The island is abandoned today. It became self-sufficient and only after 1957 were the residents allowed to return to their homes (if they were still alive). Today, half of the cases of leprosy occur in parts of India and there are still leper colonies. There are leper colonies all over the world. This condition is ancient, but sadly, even with centuries of medical advancements, we still see thousands of cases globally. It is medically known as Hansen’s disease. Those afflicted with leprosy are often from poverty-stricken areas where there is difficulty accessing medical professionals and clean food or water. The condition, if untreated, will cause nerve pain, skin lesions, disfigurement, and amputation, not to mention social stigma. In the book I am reading, one of the main characters, a teacher named “Eleni” becomes infected with leprosy by her student Dimitri, and they are both banished from Crete to live forever on the little island of Spinalonga. Eleni was never to return home, but her altruistic and loving nature made life better for those she knew during her time on the island. Like COVID, the condition of leprosy seems to show benefits from Vitamin D. They did not know that back in the 40’s and 50’s when Spinalonga and other leper colonies formed. I am not comparing lep-
rosy to corona, these are not even remotely related. The only similarity is that vitamin D can be helpful for both according to current scientific research. Vitamin D supports many aspects of immune function, as well as myelin sheath repair. Today’s aim is to enlighten you about the condition of leprosy because it still exists in the US, especially in the southern US, and it’s making a resurgence in Brazil. Just FYI, armadillos are a host, and people still eat them. As a reminder, zoonotic infections are 100% preventable, and therefore easier to avoid than to cure. The signs and symptoms of Leprosy include: • Discolored (or thick) patch of skin on the body • Muscle weakness • Loss of eyebrows or eyelashes • Painless swelling or lumps on the face or ears • Numbness in parts of the skin Treatment of leprosy will help to avoid the nerve damage. If left untreated it may cause: • Shortening of toes and fingers • Foot drop • Blindness • Neuropathy or burning sensations in skin • Chronic ulcers that don’t heal on the skin or feet • Difficulty swallowing or talking There are many physicians today who specialize in the treatment of leprosy and other infectious diseases, so if you have concerns that the bacteria has invaded your body, please do some reading at websites such as The Leprosy Mission International and the National Hansen’s Disease Program.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Girl Scouts Reopen Camps
By Bob Vosseller FARMINGDALE – Girls Scouts of the Jersey Shore are excited about the return of outdoor day camps which reopened on July 13. Camp Amity Acres, Waretown, and Camp Sacajawea, Farmingdale, are offering six weeks of summer camp through Aug. 21. Both camps will be providing experiences that connect girls with nature and foster friendship in a fun and safe environment while maintaining a safe social distance. “We appreciate what girls have been through over the past several months and we want to share Girl Scouts’ experience to help them adapt and cope with the uncertainty they faced and continue to face,” said Eileen Higgins, chief executive officer, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. She added, “Amity Acres and Sacajawea will deliver summer programs laser-focused on engaging activities to help campers thrive in a safe environment.” The camps will follow all of the association’s pandemic-response health and safety guidelines, officials said. In addition, all
camp activities will be modified to comply with local, state and federal guidelines. Campers will be grouped in smaller units with increased safety and hygiene protocols. Both camps will serve girls entering kindergarten through eighth grade, and their sibling brothers. Camp activities will include swimming and water play, boating, arts and crafts, and archery, as well as the unique opportunity to earn Girl Scout badges. Higgins noted that “Camp will be different this year, but I expect many girls to say this is their best summer ever. With smaller groups, the bonds they create at summer camp will become even stronger.” As part of its focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Girl Scouts is also partnering with AT&T to offer a week-long virtual STEM program for older girls the week of Aug. 17. Additional details will be shared in the weeks to come. Information about Camp Amity Acres and Camp Sacajawea can be found at GSFun. org/Camp.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Nuclear Regulator Commission Submits Report On Advisory Boards
By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY − Staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission recently submitted a report to Congress on the best practices for Community Advisory Boards (CAB) involving decommissioning nuclear power plants like the Exelon Generating Station in Lacey. The NRC’s report on best practices for community advisory boards associated with decommissioning activities at nuclear power plants was mandated by the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act. NRC staff conducted 11 public meetings from August through October 2019 to prepare for the report and to obtain insights from host states, communi-
ties near nuclear power plants, and existing community advisory boards. Staff also conducted two webinars to provide people unable to attend the meetings in person an opportunity to participate in the process. Public comments from these meetings, responses to a questionnaire were used by the NRC staff. They wereissued in September, and direct outreach to state and local officials and organizations to compile its report. The NRC received 1,235 oral and written comments from 216 commenters through these outreach efforts. The report to Congress is available on the NRC website, nrc.gov/ docs/ML2011/ML20113E857.pdf.
Governor: Masks To Be Required Outside As Well By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY – Gov. Phil Murphy will be mandating that masks must be worn outside as well, but said he understands this will be difficult to enforce. The COVID-19 transmission rate is going up, he said. Due to expanded testing and contact tracing, experts have learned that the rate of infection is slightly higher than 1. What this means is that for every one person who gets the virus, it spreads to at least one other person. This is the first time it has been higher than 1 in weeks. This is why Murphy said he is issuing an Executive Order to wear masks outside, he said on a television news program. He called it an “early warning sign” that cases could be on the rise. However, he acknowledged that this order will be difficult to enforce and in some cases won’t be necessary. For example, if you are walking on the
boardwalk with your family, you don’t really need the mask. In this example, the only people you are within 6 feet of are people in your household. However, if you are in a situation where you cannot social distance from people outside your household, a mask would be needed. So, if you are congregating in an area outside, you need to be wearing a mask, he said. Police will be giving at least a warning to people, he said. “We’ve been through hell in New Jersey. We’ve lost 13,00 people. We don’t want to go through hell again,” he said. The governor thanked the millions of people who have been following the rules and helping contain the virus but warned all it takes is one selfish person to ruin it for you. Other protective measures include frequent hand washing and self-quarantining for 14 days if you are coming from a place with an outbreak.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE You’ll Never Be Left High And Dry As Long As Dr. Choxi is By Your Side By Michael Vandenberg “There’s always some kind of suppor t available,” for patients struggling with pain, Dr. Sarah Choxi told me in a recent discussion. If you, like many of Garden State Medical Center’s new patients, have been told by other doctors that nothing could be done to alleviate your suffering, it’s time to think again. When you combine the vast treatment options available at GSMC with Dr. Choxi and the rest of their pain management specialists (including founder Dr. Dharam Mann), that negativity simply doesn’t stand a chance. After all, her interest in helping people has driven her throughout her education and career. She decided to specialize in anesthesiology and interventional pain management because she saw how much those fields could change lives. “It was a way to help patients improve quality of life,” said Dr. Choxi. “It can be really difficult for people when they have pain to go through their normal day by day activities. So it was really impor tant to me as a medical student, later on as a resident, and now as an attending to be able to restore their function and have very independent lives.” People who have conditions that can’t be solved or are difficult to solve deserve the ability to be happy and painfree. Formerly at the Universit y of Chicago, Dr. Choxi was drawn to GSMC’s same focus, as well as the innovative tools it has to make it happen. “It’s a very multi-dimensional perspective on man-
aging pain,” she said. Their solutions include medication manage ment, injections, spinal cord stimulators, and countless others that have been proven safe and effective. Oftentimes a combination of techniques works best. “Patients aren’t cookie cutter. They’re very unique and individual. So I think you need to have a plan in place that caters to their specific needs.” Garden State Medical Center has always been on the cutting edge, so it’s only natural for them to have so much under their umbrella. If Dr. Choxi thinks you need to see a rheumatologist, don’t start looking at next month’s calendar; you can see one of her rheumatologist colleagues in-house in a matter of days. She’ll probably even share her notes with them on their stateof-the-art electronic database, which will also help you to stay informed about your own care. Being in-the-know about the options available to you is an important part of the culture at GSMC. Dr. Choxi remembers one patient in particular who was desperate for answers. She had heel surgery and, although When she saw the pa- granted. Recently she it had physically healed, tient, she told her, “No went to a flea market with she was still feeling a matter what, we’ll fig- her husband and could ton of pain. Unfortunately, ure this out together.” Dr. actually just walk around the surgeon had been Choxi gave her options: for a couple hours and enjoy herself. Previously, dismissive, telling her five to be exact. The patient decided anything longer than ten that there was no reason to go with minutes used to be una n i n j e c - bearable. “I’m finally able tion called to just enjoy the weather a s y m p a - outside,” the patient told thetic nerve her. “I’m so glad that you block, and could give me options j u s t l i k e and I know that I can t h a t s h e trust you.” Trust in a doctor gives for her to be feeling dis- achieved 90 percent recomfort. “She felt a little lief. It was a life-changing patients the courage to pushed around by him difference, giving her pursue the treatment and sort of just pushed the ability to experience they feel most comfortout the door,” Dr. Choxi basic joys again in ways able with. Luckily, after remembered her saying. lots of people take for Dr. Choxi gives you the

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE County Nature Centers Reopen
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY − Parks and Recreation Nature and Visitor Centers reopened recently by order of the county, but safety regulations will be in place. Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, the chairwoman of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation, said “As we continue to work with the threat of the coronavirus we must put restrictions in place for the protection of our visitors and staff.” She added, “it’s essential our visitors follow the rules that have been developed for everyone’s safety.” The Freeholder noted that the first hour that centers are open will be exclusively for senior citizens and the vulnerable population. “Face masks will be mandatory inside the nature and visitor centers and capacity at each site will be limited to 25 percent.” She added that visitors are asked to observe social distancing by remaining six feet apart and individual groups should make every effort to stay together. “We will also implement time limits when necessary so everyone has an opportunity to visit these park facilities,” Haines added. The nature and visitor centers opened on July 9 and their respective hours are: • The Cooper Environmental Center at Cattus Island County Park, 1170 Cattus Island Blvd., Toms River, will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays through Fridays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays. • Jake’s Branch County Park Nature Center, 1100 Double Trouble Road, Beachwood, will be open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays. • Wells Mills County Park Nature Center, 905 Route 532, Waretown, will be open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays. • Cloverdale Farm County Park Visitor Center, 34 Cloverdale Road, Barnegat Township, will be open from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m., Fridays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Haines also announced the reopening of the Cedar Bridge Tavern County Historical Site on Cedar Bridge Road in Barnegat Township. She said, “going forward, the Cedar Bridge Tavern will be open to visitors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays.” In early May, Ocean County began to gradually reopen its parks following guidelines from the state and health experts. By May 22 all Ocean County parks, including off-leash dog parks, had been reopened to the public. The spray park at the John C. Bartlett Jr. County Park at Berkeley Island along with the playgrounds located at 14 other Ocean County parks were reopened on July 2. Bathroom facilities are 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 said Ocean County continues to adjust the restrictions at its parks and golf courses as time goes on and at the direction of health experts and the state. “We reopened our facilities gradually in order to make sure we had the appropriate amount of staff and that everyone had been trained in order to meet the new requirements that we have implemented for sanitizing our facilities and also monitoring attendance so as to meet the requirements of Gov. Murphy’s executive orders,” Haines said. “We look forward to the day when we don’t have to limit the number of visitors using our nature centers and other attractions but for now, out of an abundance of caution, we will do all we can to make visiting our parks and centers enjoyable as we continue to stress safety and the health of our visitors and our staff,” she added.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUly 18 - JUly 24 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Work to understand and strengthen any weak areas in a key relationship during the upcoming week. You may feel pulled in multiple directions; be clear and direct about upholding your commitments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There is no time like the present. You may have been dreaming of having a special item, or had your heart set on owning the latest gadget, and there it is. Don’t hesitate to go ahead with inspired purchases GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can easily navigate the nuances of the social scene in the week ahead. You can make a good impression on others during the next few days, which may offset any lack of expertise with business or finances. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make headway while you have time and energy. This part of the week is the best period to make key decisions and put your plans into action. You will find that partners may be optimistic and eager to be cooperative. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be authentic. You will always prevail when you under-promise and over-deliver. Your intuition and generous instincts might be right on the mark right now, but later in the week they may be more difficult to access. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your enthusiasm makes you a daring contender. You may put your best foot forward whether you are playing tennis or working on a creative idea in the week ahead. Get all your ducks in a row quickly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t hold back when you’re in a beneficial situation. In the upcoming week, people are likely to see you in your best possible light, giving you a chance to make your fondest dreams come true. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sharing mutual sympathies can create a symphony of hearts. Someone’s presence may prove uplifting. Avoid being pinned down to a promise, and don’t put significant plans into motion in the second half of the week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may feel you don’t have a care in the world, but you will still need to be mindful of real-world necessities. Get your thoughts and your important belongings organized for the upcoming week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the week to come, someone may trigger your passion either emotionally or intellectually. You might be filled with energy, so focus it and trust that everything will turn out well in the end. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some wild ideas might work out better than anticipated. Focus on your finances during the next few days while you are inspired to make a good showing. Pressure on the job may increase late in the week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on being healthy and wise. The part about being wealthy should take care of itself. The week to come may contain some genuine opportunities for intelligent purchases or to make a splash in the business world.
