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 responders 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 approvals and it had to be abandoned. Years later, Griffin took it on. He said going through the State Department of Environmental Protection was probably the most complicated part. (Signs - See Page 4)

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 12)

split in two, in order to reduce the number of people attending to ensure social distancing. In some cases, there was a virtual ceremony held earlier in the summer and a modified in-person one was held more recently.

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

He said he spoke with local police and government officials to help smooth the process. Griffin said he couldn’t get the sign posts he wanted at first because of the tariffs with China. So, the Berkeley municipal sign shop provided materials. 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.

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 Southern Ocean face an array of issues – taxes, traffic, the environment, education. Issues that will impact Southern Ocean 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.

Do you have something you want everyone to know? Write a letter to make yourself heard. W� W�� L�� T� T�� E��! The Southern Ocean Times welcomes all points of view for publication and provides this page as an open forum for residents to express themselves regarding politics, government, current events and local concerns. All letters are printed as space allows unless deemed offensive by the editorial staff, and provided they are signed and include address & phone number for veri�ication. Letters may not be printed if we cannot verify them. Names will not be withheld from publication. While most letters are printed as submitted, we reserve the right to edit or

reject letters. The weekly deadline is 5 p.m. Thursday. Mail typed letters to: PO Box 521, Lakehurst, NJ 08733, fax 732-657-7388 or e-mail news@jerseyshoreonline.com.

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

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

VA Treats Veterans As “Third Class” Citizens From The Desk Of

Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03) released the fourth in a series of stories of veterans impacted by the failure of the Department of Veterans Affairs to deliver a new veterans health facility to Ocean County. Recently, Congressman Kim, along with Senators Booker and Menendez sent a letter to VA officials demanding answers on why the effort to secure a new veter-

ans’ health care facility in Ocean County failed, and asking the VA to provide immediate solutions for New Jersey’s veterans. The fourth story is that of John Truppo, an Air National Guard veteran who lives in Brick Township. John currently uses the James J. Howard VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) for his primary medical care including physical exams, care for his diabetes, and lab work. Truppo has had numerous issues caused by the insufficient number of health care providers at the CBOC and has had to deal with appointments canceled with no warning. On June 22, Truppo arrived

Stafford Founders Day Postponed STAFFORD − The Township of Stafford, Stafford Recreation and the Founders Day Committee have been closely monitoring the current state of affairs involving the COVID-19 coronavirus. We are committed to the health and safety of our community and will follow the guidelines regarding social distancing and group gatherings. Therefore, we are postponing this year’s Founders Day, originally scheduled for June 13, 2020. This includes the breakfast, parade, and all field activities at the Doc

Cramer Sports Complex, as well as the fi reworks. We have moved Founders Day to Saturday August 29, 2020. Bringing together our amazing community to celebrate our founding in 1749 is our joy and passion, and we look forward to it every year. While Founders Day may not look the same this year as in the past, we are hopeful that we can provide Stafford Township with an appropriate celebration that can bring us together safely as a community.

for an appointment at the CBOC for routine blood work to manage his diabetes, only to be told the facility was closed to telehealth only. Truppo was also misdiagnosed with bone cancer last year, causing him to have to seek care at the VA’s East Orange facility, which was, “incredibly stressful.” “The way the VA treats the veterans in our community is an insult to me as an American and as a Veteran,” said Truppo. “There are older vets who are in worse shape than me and this is totally unfair. I am sick of being treated as a third class citizen and I hope the VA can take this seriously and do something to correct the situation.” “Our veterans have given so much to our country, and John’s story is a reminder that we’re falling short of repaying them

for their service,” said Congressman Kim. “Ocean County has one of the largest veteran populations in the country, and for even one veteran to be denied care because the VA isn’t fully staffing medical professionals is unacceptable. It’s time for them to step up and work with our local veterans and leaders to provide the fi rst class care our veterans deserve.” Congressman Kim is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Committee on Small Business. In addition to advocating for a new veterans health facility in Ocean County, Congressman Kim has introduced bipartisan legislation to protect veterans from VA errors and help veterans identify employment opportunities during their transition to civilian life.

Parade:

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.

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

FIXING TWO PROBLEMS WITH ONE LENS

As we age, our eyes’ lenses begin to lose their flexibility, giving rise to “presbyopia” (Greek for “old eye”) and the need for reading glasses. At the same time, eye lenses are also likely to become progressively cloudy, a condition known as “cataracts,” which causes blurry vision. “Lens replacement surgery” (LRS) has been developed so that ophthalmologists can take care of both problems with a single procedure. It involves removing the natural lens and replacing it with a synthetic substitute called an “intraocular” lens. While LRS may be described as cataract surgery, it also serves to correct vision by changing the lens’ focusing ability. The technique can correct eyesight for far- and near-sightedness as well astigmatism. Intraocular lenses come in different focusing powers, just like prescription eyewear or contact lenses. Your ophthalmologist will measure the length of your eye and the curve of your cornea. These measurements are used to set the focusing power of your lenses. When you need the best eye care in the area, look to SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an eye exam. For our patients who wear glasses and contacts we offer an array of options, from fashionable eyewear to comfortable contact lenses.

Lacey Captain Retires

By Chris Lundy LACEY – After serving the township for a quarter of a century, Capt. Patrick Ganley retired recently. Ganley started with the department in 1996, and worked his way up through the ranks. He became a sergeant in 2005 and a lieutenant in 2014. He made captain in 2016. In this role, he oversaw daily operations, which included such duties as training and internal affairs. Other roles involved working for the Office of Emergency Management, particularly during Superstorm Sandy. He was a member of the Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, was a department fi rearms instructor and armorer, and was heavily involved in our department’s active shooter training program. Police also noted that Captain Ganley served in several unique and different roles while working for the police department, including, but not limited to, mechanic, painter, electrician, builder, janitor, snow remover, and whatever else he needed to do to ensure the operations of the police department continued. I would also like to note that Captain Ganley took his education very seriously. He is a graduate of the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police Contemporary Supervision Program, and holds both a Bachelor’s of Arts Degree and a Master’s Degree in Administrative Sci-

Throughout my career he has been a colleague, peer, friend, mentor, a teammate, and more importantly a brother. I am sad to see him go, but happy and proud to see him enjoying a retirement so well deserved,” Chief Michael C. DiBella said. “Captain Ganley, all of us at the Lacey Township Police Department thank you for your hard work and dedication to the residents of Lacey Township.”

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.

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 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.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

The New Normal According To Dr. Izzy

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

As our offices begin to transition to opening again, the “new normal” will require us to scan temperatures, ask patients specific questions related to covid-19 symptoms, stagger appointments so there’s no more than two patients in our office at the same time and allow extra time to disinfect all areas once the patient has left. This “new normal” will significantly limit the total number of patients we can see but it’s absolutely critical to follow these procedures at least for the remainder of the year. For over 30 years, Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and/or can’t communicate with their loved ones because they’re hearing aid stopped working. In these times of social isolation, it’s imperative that we communicate with our loved ones. We need that connection for psychosocial and cognitive support. If you need our help, please call us at 732818-3610. We will be re-opening very soon! Please stay healthy, stay home, practice social distancing and I promise you there will be a bright light at the end of the tunnel. All the Best! Dr. Izzy

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.

#2 Busiest Breast Surgery Practice In America (According To The National CMS Rankings.)

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

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 board-

walk 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.

Reycling Guide Now vailable 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 ongo-

ing 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 landfill space.” The guide includes information on where to conveniently drop off antifreeze, boat batteries, paint cans, boat paint, oil and filters 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.

The pumpout boats are 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 eﬄuent 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 first 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 732-506-5047 or visiting the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management at co.ocean.nj.us

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.

Omarrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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): Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold back when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence may prove uplifting. Avoid being pinned down to a promise, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put significant plans into motion in the second half of the week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may feel you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
