−Photos courtesy Manchester Township Recreation A large crowd is seen during the July 8 kick off of Concert Fest 2020 at Harry Wright Lake. By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER - The Township and Recreation Department received some applause f rom residents a nd town officials for the first of its free concert series that kicked off earlier this month.
Concert Fest 2020 held its first concert on July 8 and it featured the Jukebox Legends, New Power Soul and WJRZ. Recreation Dept. Director Tracey Lynch and her staff are coordinating the summer concert series.
Performers from New Power Soul entertain a large crowd at Harry Wright Lake during the first Concert Fest 2020 program held on July 8.
Councilwoman Joan Br u sh s a id d u r i ng a July 14 Township Council meeting that she had attended the concert. “I have to say I was pleasantly surprised everyone was staying in their social distance. Tracey and the Recreation Department were wal k ing around the crowds and making sure people were staying in their little circles for dancing and others were staying six feet apart.” Brush added, “it went very well and during intermission between the two bands. Tracey said there was a turnout of 430 people so far with more cars coming into the concert areas. It

went well and I feel very comfortable out there. I thank Tracey for making such a great night.” Council President Sam Fusaro said, “the number of people out there sur prised me. They were distanced apart. The concert was excellent. We have three more concerts during the summer months. The next one is July 22, then Aug. 12 and Aug. 26 which will also be our 4th of July fireworks we arranged to delay it and canceled Manchester Day this year.” The shows are held at Harry Wright Lake.

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – The township’s Code Enforcement has been issuing ‘courtesy notices’ to inform residents that they need to clean up an issue, but they are not in risk of being fined just yet. “In the last week I’ve gotten several complaints about code enforcement so I wanted to address it with the council,” Mayor Ken Palmer said during a recent Township C ou n c i l m e e t i ng. “You may have seen s ome pic t u r e s on Facebook about those complaints.” He said when he saw those photos he spoke to the township’s code enforcement officer and looked back at the last two or three weeks of complaints.
He said the code enforcement officer had started a program focusing on infractions and things that need to be attended to. “He started in Pine Lake but will be doing the same across the township. He’s gotten through two thirds of Pine Lake to date and he’s been taking pictures of things he sees that are unsightly and code violations. He’s not issuing warnings. He is not issuing citations or fines. He is issuing what is called a courtesy notice which just says ‘We took a look and saw something that is an issue,’” the mayor said. Mayor Palmer said about 100 of those courtesy notices have (Code - See Page 4)

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.

bring a mask as they must be worn when social distancing cannot be maintained (ex. waiting to be seated, using the restrooms, waiting in vendor lines). Lynch noted, “there is six feet distancing on all sides of the circles drawn up and masks are mandatory. Masks must be worn outside of the circle when walking through the crowds.” Once you are seated masks are not required. When the concert reaches capacity at 500 people the venue will be closed off.

They all did a great job.” Mayor Ken Palmer said that while he could not attend the concert that he was glad to see the turnout at the concerts and that Concert Fest 2020 was able to happen this summer. “I saw pictures and I received several
e-mails from people that did go and they really felt comfortable with the spacing and the circles that made sure everyone maintained social distance,” the mayor said. “The bands were great. I am glad we are one of the few municipalities that are putting the concerts on because I think it is something our residents need and want and they are adults and can make their own decisions if they want to go,” Mayor Palmer said. The mayor added that the concerts complied with Gov. Murphy’s regulations pertaining to the pandemic. “I am glad we have more of them to go.”
and sees things like branches or trees that are blocking stop signs, blocking things that are impor tant for traff ic sight triangles, he’s alerting the DPW (Department of Public Works) and they are going out and taking care of it.” Mayor Palmer added. “While I know it is a kick in the pants to some, it really is something saying ‘We see an issue. We’d like you to take a look at it.’ He’s putting a time date on it as to
when he’d like to see it remedied but he’s very easy to work with,” the mayor said. Mayor Palmer assured residents that if anyone needs an extra week or so to take care of an issue identified in the cour tesy notice “he is cer tainly allowing it.” The mayor stressed to the council and residents during the meeting that Code Enforcement had not issued any violation notices or fines.
Mayor Palmer said, “ever yone has been issued a cour tesy notice. It is something I support. I think when you drive around Pine Lake and you see extra cars on front yards or when you see an actual boat in the trees and piles of rubbish…that these are things that actually need to be taken care of.” Council President Sam Fusaro said, “all the council is with you on this one.”

Halloween:
Continued From Page 1 “The Toms River Vol. Fire Co. No. 1 has decided for the safety of the community and all first 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
The Manchester Times, July 18, 2020, Page 7 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.
Jewish War Veterans Collecting U.S. Foreign Stamps
MONROE - Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A. Monroe Township Post # 609 is collecting United States and foreign stamps both “on” and “off” envelopes(s). These stamps are used by Veterans as hobbies and as a therapy to support medical staffs at VA MEdical Centers nationwide in the treatment and rehabilitation of disabled home-bound, shut-in and outpatient veteran patients. JWV Post #609 memberCharles Koppelman said, “we do not trade or sell stamps - we just forward these materials to those veteran patients who request them at no charge to the patients.
Stamp collecting, and other hobbies have been recognized by medical authorities as an excellent form of therapy for patients and those confined to hospital or homes. It is ideal for our bed-bound veterans or for veterans who do not respond well to roup activities. The Vets not only collect the stamps in albums, but also paste them on plastic bottles and boxes they can use or give as gifts. The activity exercises teir fine motor skills. Also requested are DVDs that are suitable for veterans at thse locations. All items should be sent to J.W.V. Post #609 c/o Charles Koppelman, 6 Yarmouth Dirve, Monroe Township NJ 08831-4742.

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. But what you won’t see is an endorsement from the newspaper itself. Micromedia Publications, and our website JerseyShoreOnline.com, does not endorse candidates. We feel it is our job to provide you with as much information as possible for you to make your own decision. However, we will never tell you
who to vote for. We want you to make an informed decision. All media sources are supposed to be neutral. It’s always been our goal to report the news fairly and accurately, and without bias. How could we do that if we supported someone’s campaign? Therefore, the letters page is a place for YOUR opinions about candidates, not ours. Chris Lundy News Editor
E DITORIAL Make Yourself Heard The people of Manchester face an array of issues – taxes, traffic, the environment, education. Issues that will impact Manchester for years to come. And no doubt you have something to say about them. So what can you do to ensure that your voice gets heard? First and foremost, town council meetings. Let
your officials know you’re watching. You can also write letters to the editor to papers like ours. People follow their local papers and by writing about important issues, you spark vital discussion on topics that affect your life. Don’t allow yours to be a lone voice in the wilderness. Make yourself heard.

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

Smith: Pass The JUSTICE Act From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) made the following speech before the House: “Madame Speaker, the JUSTICE Act is designed to ensure greater transparency and accountability in policing in order to build safer communities. “I cosponsored the JUSTICE Act because it is a serious, comprehensive and balanced reform initiative an important step forward. “I am deeply grateful to Senator Tim Scott and Congressman Pete Stauber for authoring this bicameral legislation. “The killing of George Floyd while in custody by a Minneapolis police officer demands justice and has resulted in a fresh and necessary look at crime and policing. “I watched the video of Derek Chauvin kneeling on the neck of Mr. Floyd who pleaded “I can’t breathe”
with horror and disbelief. Chauvin not only betrayed his solemn duty to serve and protect but he betrayed, as well, police off icers throughout the nation who serve with great honor and valor, and make enormous sacrifices to protect the innocent and enforce the law. “Today I - like many Americans - believe that nonviolent dialogue and persuasion are not only the best way, but it is the only way to achieve meaningful change. “Those who commit violent acts against police and others, as well as those who destroy property and steal, should be prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law. “The JUSTICE Act that we will vote on today includes new funding of $225 million for improved police training - including best practices for violence de-escalation and alternatives to the use of force - which
will likely reduce injury or death to both police officers and criminal suspects. The training also includes the most effective approaches to suspects with mental health conditions and developmental disability including individuals with autism. “The JUSTICE Act also authorizes a $500 million matching grant program to help police departments purchase body-worn cameras and receive the necessary training to ensure optimal use. It conditions eligibility for this funding on certain criteria, including usage at all times when an officer arrests or detains anyone. “The evidence for bodycam use is compelling. Studies have shown that the use of body-worn cameras can reduce complaints against officers by up to 90 percent and decrease officers use of force by 60 percent. “The JUSTICE Act also provides $500 million for duty-to-intervene training and directs the Attorney General in consultation with state and local governments, and organizations representing rank and file law enforcement officers to develop training curricula

Addiction Assistance Group Adapts To Pandemic Conditions
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER - Hope Sheds Light is one of several active agencies that has a mission to assist those facing addiction as well as to support their family members. That mission has been made more difficult during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Heather Price, the organization’s volunteer and outreach coordinator has been hosting
weekly Zoom meetings to communicate with members of not only her organization but other support agencies as well to compare notes on how to help those who are facing challenges of addiction during the pandemic. “We have a very small staff but we have volunteers who are the heartbeat of our organization. We provide 24/7 hotline
support, online resources, community education, community outreach, family support services, youth programs, wellness programs and family management skills,” Price said. She added, “we celebrate those in recovery. We are peer to peer support so most of us are either people in long-term recovery or family members. We raise social awareness.

We share experience, strength and hope, resources and navigation and we do all that to create community change and to break the stigma of addiction.” Price said the volunteers at the center have been trained through a national program called CCAR which is a nationally recognized academy. “Part of my role is to train them so I am a certified trainer in CCAR which you can send in your certificate to once you have completed those courses to the state of New Jersey to be a certified peer recovery specialist.” She noted it was a three to four-day training for each course. The volunteers are scheduled in shifts to help navigate the resources of treatment.” Hope Sheds Light holds Tuesday meetings specifically aimed at family members of those who are in recovery or are seeking recovery. “One is our Finding Hope meeting which meets the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. This meeting has an educational speaker and afterwards we break into small groups to talk and support each other about the process of recovery and speak about life on life’s terms.” Price said the “Finding Recovery” meeting is on the first and third Tuesday of the month also at 7 p.m. and it is a topic driven meeting. She said it involves fellowship and “since we are a family focused organization we support the whole family in long term recovery.” The group offers a grief and bereavement program called Human Hearts on Thursday nights from 6 to 7 p.m. “This is for those who lost their loved ones to the disease of addiction,” Price said. She said that the Recovery Center has a Circle of Hope Garden set up that family members can purchase pavers in the name of loved ones who have passed. The center also normally offers a rotating calendar of programs that include tai chi, yoga, painting, wellness Wednesdays, and performing artists for the youth, a fitness class and a program to understand your addiction. “What these programs look like now is that they are all completely virtual. We recently received a grant to work with children who are affected by the disease and who may be living with their aunt or grand mom.” Price noted that while Zoom and other online platforms have proven useful to facilitate sessions during the pandemic, it was not the same as a live session and on occasion has its technical glitches. She did say “Zoom is a lot simpler than I thought it would be. Typically when we are running one of our family meetings we have a member of our staff that will reach out to anyone who has a problem signing in.” She added that HOPE Sheds Light has a Facebook page. “Our volunteers are answering calls for our 24/7 hotline. Price said she and members of the staff are also recovery coaches. “We also work with Ocean County College with some support services as well,” Price said. Once the health restrictions are lifted, “all of what we are doing virtually will go (Addiction - See Page 24)

Run/Walk To Bring Awareness To Ride Share Safety
MANCHESTER – You can help spread ride share safety by taking part in the #WhatsMyName 5K run/1 mile walk on Sept. 26, 2020. The event is from 9-11 a.m. at Gazebo Park in Robbinsville. The event is organized by the #WHATSMYNAME Foundation, reminding people to always ask their ride share driver to repeat back their name before getting into a vehicle. It was started after Samantha “Sami” Josephson of Robbinsville, a 21-year-old senior at the University of South Carolina,
got into a stranger’s car – mistaking it for her Uber. The child safety locks were activated which prevented her from escaping. Sami was kidnapped and murdered by the driver. Signs have been put up in the area to remind passengers of “SAMI”: Stop to review safety features; Ask what’s my name?; Match the license plate and display; and Inform by sharing ride details. For more information, visit WhatsMy Name.org.

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Driver error and inexperience are believed to be the cause of a crash that sent three people to the hospital, fl ipped a vehicle, and damaged a utility pole. The collision took place in the Pine Lake Park section of town near the intersection of Commonwealth Boulevard and Bismarck Street just before 5 p.m. on July 8, police said. Investigators believe a 2010 Lincoln MKZ was travelling south on Bismarck Street. The driver, a 17-year-old township resident, did not stop at a stop sign. This caused his Lincoln to collide with the passenger side of a 2017 Nissan Sentra, which was traveling west on Commonwealth Boulevard. This caused the Nissan to roll at least three times, coming to rest on its driver side on Bismarck Street, approximately 200 feet from impact. While literally rolling down the street, it took out a speed limit sign and launched it through the windshield of a parked, unoccupied 2015 Toyota Corolla. The driver of the Sentra was Jocelyn
Isaza, 42, of Toms River. She sustained a concussion and fractured hands and fi ngers. The Lincoln crossed the intersection and struck a utility pole and came to rest on a lawn. The driver and his 17-year-old passenger sustained abrasions and lacerations to their faces and arms. All parties were determined to be wearing their seatbelts and were subsequently transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center via ambulance. Assisting at the scene were members of the Ridgeway and Manchester Volunteer Fire Departments as well as EMTs from the Manchester Township Division of Emergency Services. Also assisting were representatives from Jersey Center Power & Light, and Priced Rite Towing. The roadway was closed for several hours during the investigation and cleanup. The investigation is still ongoing, but police said driver error and inexperience appear to be the primary cause of the crash. This crash is being investigated by Patrolman Jesse Hoydis of the department’s Traffic Safety Unit.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Worker Accused Of Sexual Assault Of Senior Gets License Suspended
By Chris Lundy NEWARK – The state reviewed reports of several people in positions of trust and suspended their licenses to do their job. Among them was an employee of a local senior community who is charged with inappropriately touching a memory care resident. On May 21, Jackson police responded to Sunrise Senior Living on North County Line Road on the report of an employee who was witnessed touching an 84-year-old victim inappropriately, police said. Michael Edwards, a.k.a. Michael A. Donald son, 32, of Ma nchester was charged with aggravated criminal sexual contact. He was processed and later released on a summons pending a court appearance and was also advised that he was not welcome back on the property. Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law. His license was temporarily suspended pending the outcome of his criminal case, the State Division of Consumer Affairs said.
His employment at the facility had already been terminated, and police said that upon learning of the incident, administrative staff took immediate action to safeguard the victim. He was one of eight certified homemaker-home health aides who were sanctioned by the State Board of Nursing for crimes allegedly committed on or off the job. This comes as the Division of Consumer Affairs reviews how its 51 professional boards address allegations involving sexual misconduct and abuse of others. “It’s an egregious abuse of trust when any licensee sexually preys on a patient or client, but it is especially heinous when the victim is an elderly individual under their care,” said Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. “The actions announced today underscore both the need for our professional boards to remain vigilant in protecting vulnerable patients, as well as the importance of the review they are presently undertaking to better protect victims and hold licensees accountable for their actions.”

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.

OCC Continues To Serve As COVID-19 Test Center
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – The COVID-19 drive thru test site at Ocean County College in Toms River will continue to provide testing to county residents during the week of July 13, but with earlier hours. Now, tests will be done during the hours of 8 a.m. to noon on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Even though the site is currently providing tests for both symptomatic and asymptomatic county residents, appointments are still required. Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye said, “the time schedule is being adjusted to help provide a better testing work environment for the nurses administering the tests at the site.” “The summer heat and humidity combined with having to wear layers of personal protective equipment (PPE) while testing people outside at the drive thru is creating less then suitable conditions for the dedicated nurses. We want to take advantage of lower temperatures during the early daytime hours that we are there,” Regenye said. As of July 6, County residents who did not show signs of the novel coronavirus were able to get tested at the OCC drive thru. Regenye said, “we are now providing tests to asymptomatic residents in order to increase testing opportunities in the community. We are no longer requiring a script from a healthcare practitioner at the college drive thru, however appointments are still required.” To schedule an appointment, residents can visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org. If anyone has any questions, they can call the Health Department at 732-341-9700, Ext. 7411. Proof of residency will be required. All emergency responders can also access testing at the site. More than 5,798 coronavirus tests have been performed at the college testing site which has been the result of a successful partnership with the college, area hospitals, Sheriff Michael Mastronardy and the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management.
“The Ocean County Health Department and a host of other collaborators who have come together to make this work for our citizens,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said, Vicari added, “by opening it up to people that are asymptomatic we are increasing the number of people that can be tested in the county.” Regenye noted there are other locations and testing sites for asymptomatic people that have opened throughout the state with some located in Ocean County. Two websites providing information are: covid19.nj.gov/pages/testing and covid19. nj.gov/pages/testing#test-sites. Partners in the testing site include U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management under Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy, the Ocean County Health Department, RWJ Barnabas Health Southern Region and Hackensack Meridian Health and Ocean County College. “Residents remain in their cars and medical personnel perform a nasal swab at the OCC site,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little. Little serves as liaison to the Ocean County Health Department. “We are working to make this convenient and more importantly safe for the public, the health care providers on site and staff.” Once the test has been performed, it’s anticipated to take about three to five days for results to be returned. Regenye said, “all the results will be available on the BioReference Laboratories Patient Portal: Bioreference.com/ patients/ and through the Ocean County Health Department residents will be notified whether they test positive or negative.” Symptoms of COVID 19 include fever, fatigue, a dry cough and shortness of breath. Ocean County has also established a process to ensure that people with test results are informed in a timely manner and provided with guidance, consultation and next steps. Ocean County has recorded 9,760 cases of the coronavirus as of July 10.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Reycling Guide Now Available For Boaters
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Boating is one of the most popular pastimes enjoyed by visitors and residents of the county and thankfully, a new recycling guide for boat owners is now available. Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said, “protecting our waterways including Barnegat Bay which is an environmental jewel and our ocean continues to be of great importance even while enjoying leisure activities like boating here in Ocean County.” Vicari is the liaison to the Ocean County pumpout boat program. He said, “this new guide provides important information to boaters so they can assist in protecting our environment.” Ocean County Freeholder Gary Quinn, liaison to Ocean County’s recycling program, said the new guide was developed by the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management along with the Planning Department as part of the ongoing educational outreach to raise awareness about the importance of recycling and its subsequent benefits to the environment. Quinn added, “we are creating educational materials that target the unique characteristics of the County. This brochure provides information that will help the boating community to dispose of the waste created in a more environmentally conscious way in order to protect the Barnegat Bay and reduce landfi ll space.” The guide includes information on where to conveniently drop off antifreeze, boat batteries, paint cans, boat paint, oil and fi lters and shrink wrap. Quinn said, “these materials can be dropped off at the county’s regional recycling centers located in Lakewood and Stafford townships. Also some municipalities offer these services at their recycling centers.” The guide also lists other relative recycling programs for boaters. T he pu mpout boat s a re specially
equipped vessels capable of emptying the on-board toilets and tanks of other boats, keeping waste from entering the bay. The boats are available to provide the pumpout service on weekends starting Memorial Day weekend running through October. To request a pumpout, the boats can be contacted on VHF radio channel 9, or by contacting the captains by cell phone. The contact numbers for the captains can be found on the program’s website at planning.co.ocean.nj.us/frmEPPumpoutBoats. Boaters are also encouraged to like the pumpout program’s Facebook page at facebook.com/pumpoutoceancounty for up to date announcements and contact information. This summer season, the pumpout boats have extended hours of operation with the service now being available 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays through Mondays for pumpout boats servicing the northern and central parts of the County and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Fridays through Sundays in the southern part of the County. Vicari said, “since the program began in 1997, more than 90,000 recreational boats have been serviced and about 1.9 million gallons of effl uent have been removed from vessels that could otherwise have ended up in the Barnegat Bay.” “This is a major step towards ensuring that our coastal waters, such as the Barnegat Bay and the Little Egg Harbor, remain clean,” Vicari added. There are now six full-time pumpout boats operating in the Barnegat Bay and the Little Egg Harbor, in addition to the Circle of Life which was the fi rst pumpout boat in New Jersey and continues to be operated as a part-time back-up boat during the peak season. The guide is available by emailing ocrecycles@co.ocean.nj.us, calling 732506-5047 or visiting the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management at co.ocean.nj.us

Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
The New Normal According To Dr. Izzy New Jersey is continuing to identify new cases of COVID-19 but our “curve” will continue to flatten but the virus will remain with us for at least the remainder of the year. In my opinion, the “new normal” will include a) social distancing, b) continued use of wearing a mask, c) frequent hand washing, and d) no more hugs for a while. Telepractice will become increasing popular in all medical fields, including hearing healthcare. Remote programming of hearing aids has been available for several years, but in my opinion, the majority of our patients calling our offices cannot benefit from remote programming. During this pandemic, due to the frequent use of wearing a mask, dozens have “lost” their hearing instruments or broke a receiver wire. Many other patients have a “dead” hearing aid and the only way to fix it is to send it back to the manufacturer. Remote programming would be a complete waste of time in these instances. We have continued to offer “curbside services” and/or drop off services at our Toms River office. This concierge service is critical during this time of uncertainty as well as the increased importance of communication with family and friends. As our offices begin to transition to
opening again, the “new normal” will require us to scan temperatures, ask patients specific questions related to covid-19 symptoms, stagger appointments so there’s no more than two patients in our office at the same time and allow extra time to disinfect all areas once the patient has left. This “new normal” will significantly limit the total number of patients we can see but it’s absolutely critical to follow these procedures at least for the remainder of the year. For over 30 years, Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and/or can’t communicate with their loved ones because they’re hearing aid stopped working. In these times of social isolation, it’s imperative that we communicate with our loved ones. We need that connection for psychosocial and cognitive support. If you need our help, please call us at 732-818-3610. We will be re-opening very soon! Please stay healthy, stay home, practice social distancing and I promise you there will be a bright light at the end of the tunnel. All the Best! Dr. Izzy

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
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.

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Dates Announced
OCEA N COU N T Y- T he cou nt y’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection program has scheduled four dates for this summer. The collection, sponsored by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders with the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management is open to all county residents.
Businesses and institutions are not eligible. Registration is required, online registration is encouraged at co.ocean. nj.us/recycle. Phone registration also is available. The collections run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The following is a list of collection dates, locations, and phone numbers for registration:
• Aug. 9 – Lakewood Township, 1 America Ave., 732-367-0802 • Aug. 22 – Manchester Township, 1360 Route 70, 732-506-5047 • Sept. 19 – Long Beach Township, 7910 Long Beach Blvd., 609-978-0913 “This program provides substantial benefits to our environment as hazardous products are kept out of the waste
stream and disposed of properly,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gary Quinn, liaison to the Ocean Cou nt y Depar t ment of Solid Waste Management. Quinn added,“we have developed new guidelines for the collections to assure the workers and the public are safe at every collection site.” It is strongly encouraged that residents wear face coverings while at the event. In addition, materials should be placed in the vehicle’s trunk or truck bed so workers can remove all items directly without entering the interior of the vehicle. “This program has helped our residents safely dispose of hazardous materials for over 30 years,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said. Vicari added, “we are pleased our residents continue to embrace this program and protect our environment.” The items that are collected include: aerosols, auto products, batteries, cleaning products, chemicals/pool chemicals, fire extinguishers, gasoline/waste oil, herbicides/pesticides, mercu r y-containing devices, paint/paint thinners, polyurethanes/polishes, propane/tanks and stains/varnishes. Items that are not accepted include: asbestos, construction debris, electronics, explosives (including boat f lares), infectious waste (“red bag” waste), medications, needles/syringes, oxygen tanks, radioactive materials, smoke detectors and unknown/unidentifiable chemicals. All materials, with the exception of oil and gasoline, should be in the original containers. A limit of 200 pounds of dry materials and 20 gallons of liquid material is allowed per household. No containers larger than five gallons are accepted. Municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers also allow for year-round drop off of a host of materials including used paint and waste oil. Residents can use the drop offs located at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center in Lakewood, or the Southern Recycling Center located in Manahawkin from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Visit co.ocean.nj.us/OC/Solid Waste/ for more information.

Addiction:
Continued From Page 10 back into the center including its many Saturday programs and their Tuesday family meetings. Price noted that most treatment facilities are open currently and some “are even offering extended services which is fantastic to see.” Willis said of the organization, “there is transformative power here. The Hope Re-
covery Center is a national model and there is absolutely no reason, with God’s grace, that it won’t happen. It needs to happen and it’s happening.” Price discussed her agency’s background during the session, which was created in 2012 when its co-founder Ron Rosetto lost his son Marc to a battle against substance abuse. Today, HOPE Sheds Light serves the community with support and resources available to those affected by addiction
and their families. Rosetto partnered with Stephen Willis and Arvo Prima. Last December, HOPE Sheds Light opened a new Hope Recovery Center located at 253 Chestnut St., Toms River. The non-profit organization, whose mission is to educate families on the disease of addiction, is led by representatives of the local recovery community. The organization’s CEO, Pamela Capaci had said previously that HOPE Sheds Light was
“a hub for community members to access peer-based recovery support services, community education and outreach programs, academic and vocational training, family strengthening and reunification programs, trauma-informed support services, family support groups, social/recreational outings, wellness workshops and physical activities for the whole family.” For more information, visit HOPEShedsLight.org.

on the duty of a law enforcement officer to intervene when another officer engages in excessive use of force. “Had any one of the three officers on the scene in Minneapolis intervened when George Floyd pleaded that he couldn’t breathe, his life could have been saved. “Other reforms embedded in the legislation includes maintaining and appropriately sharing disciplinary records for officer hiring, use of force reporting to the FBI, no-knock warrant reporting, incentivizing chokehold bans and increased penalties for false police reports. “The J USTICE Act empowers the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant program to hire recruiters and enroll candidates in law enforcement academies to ensure racial and demographic representation similar to the communities served, and funds an education program for law enforcement on racism produced by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History. “The bill makes lynching a federal crime. “The legislation also creates the Commission on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys which will study and issue a wide-ranging report on conditions affecting black men and boys, including homicide rates, arrest and incarceration rates, poverty, violence, fatherhood, mentorship, drug abuse, death rates, disparate income and wealth levels, school performance in all grade levels and health issues and will make recommendations to address these issues. “That said, why not vote for the Democrat bill that is before the House today as well? “I have serious concerns that the language in H.R. 7120 - the Democrat proposal - eviscerates qualified immunity in civil lawsuits for our women and men in law enforcement. “Let’s be clear, current policy provides no immunity whatsoever - nor should it ever - from criminal prosecution as in the case of the officer responsible for the death of George Floyd. “But qualified immunity - a judicially created legal doctrine - shields government officials, including law enforcement,

from personal liability lawsuits so long as their actions do not violate “clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.” According to the Congressional Research Service, “The Supreme Court has observed that qualified immunity balances two important interests - the need to hold public officials accountable when they exercise power irresponsibly and the need to shield officials from harassment, distraction and liability when they perform their duties reasonably.” Section 102 of the Democrat bill ends qualified immunity and states in pertinent part that “It shall not be a defense or immunity in any action brought under this section against a local law enforcement officer…”even if “…the defendant was acting in good faith, or that the defendant believed, reasonably or otherwise, that his or her conduct was lawful at the time when the conduct was committed…” If Section 102 became law, it would likely result in a flood of legal actions - an engraved invitation to sue law enforcement officers. Moreover, it will deter police from using force where the use of force is necessary to save life or protect property—diminishing the ability of police to provide public safety in dangerous situations. Finally, a June 15 letter from the National Association Of Police Organizations which represents one thousand professional police associations and units and 241,000 officers throughout the United States - wrote: “Our most significant concerns include amending Section 242 of Title 18 United States Code to lower the standard for mens rea (Title I Subtitle A, Section 101) and the practical elimination of qualified immunity for law enforcement officers (Section 102). Combined, these two provisions take away any legal protections for officers while making it easier to prosecute them for mistakes on the job, not just criminal acts. With the change to qualified immunity, an officer can go to prison for an unintentional act that unknowingly broke an unknown law. We believe in holding officers accountable for their actions, but the consequence of this would be making criminals out of decent cops enforcing the laws in good faith.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Investigation: Police Reasonably Believed Journalist Was Protester When Arrested
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.”

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.

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.

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.
