By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – How could a boat yard be operating in the middle of the woods? That’s what Scott Estate residents wondered when a bunch of trees got cut down and boat racks went up. They took The Berkeley Times to look at the boat yard visible from their homes. The area is between Scott Drive and Browning Avenue. The boat yard is being used by NJ Outboard. A (Boat- See Page 9)

a health concern, local environmentalists said. Environment New Jersey Research & Policy Center released a report identifying local beaches that have exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s bacteria contamina-
tion threshold for safe swimming, using data from 2019. The solution to the bacteria problem is increased water infrastructure to prevent this pollution, they said. They were joined by Clean Ocean Action,
Save Barnegat Bay, the Surfrider Foundation and the Sierra Club. Last year, bacteria levels at New Jersey beaches indicated that water was potentially unsafe for swimming there on at least one day 73 times, accord-

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – With a catch in her voice, Councilwoman Judith Noona n a n nou nced during a recent Township Council meeting that she will be resigning in August. She thanked the workers of every department, praising them for serving the people. “We make the phone calls but the people in town do all the work,” she said. “Unfortunately, I am resigning due to many unsatisfying factors which have caused me to become increasingly disappointed with unprincipled political decisions over the past several months,” she wrote in a resignation letter. “The reason I became a Councilwoman was to serve my constituents and to make the lives of the people of Berkeley Tow nsh ip better. I can no longer be a part of the hiring practices, excessive spending, and the unethical political behavior,” she said. “I was elected to put the interests of the people of this township first but when I have not agreed with this mayor and council on issues, I have faced backlash and personal pain. “This unprofessional conduct I can no longer tolerate,” she said. “It has been a privilege to represent my ward and the people of Berkeley Township
for nearly a decade. I will miss helping you as your councilwoman, but I will always be there for you,” she said. Councilman James Byrnes said during the meeting that he appreciated what she did for the town and joked that he was going to have to find someone else to fight with. The mayor and the rest of the council did not comment on her resignation. South Seaside Park resident Lee Ann Zoppi said during the meeting that Noonan exemplifies what a council member should be. “We are truly at a loss that you won’t be on the council,” she said. “You will continue to be a good friend.” As of press time, there wasn’t an official last day for her resignation. She needs to tie up some loose ends first. Usually, when an elected official steps down, that person’s political party screens candidates and then appoints a new member. That new member would then run for election in November. If they win, they would fill out the remainder of that person’s term. Noonan, like the rest of the governing body, is a Republican. Noonan will remain active in the community as part of a new Se n ior A l l ia nce of New Jersey which will be a voice for seniors throughout the state.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Know The Timeline Of COVID Tests They say we “shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” and that’s generally good advice. However, those free COVID tests at Rite-Aid on Mule Road in Toms River bear some serious, serious scrutiny. They are “free” of charge, yes, but certainly not “free” of unnecessary stress and inconvenience. Note: It’s not the testing, itself, which is the issue but the total confusion about how long it will take for results to return is the issue. The test, itself, was easy and quite well organized. I share the following experiences via your paper to hopefully help anyone else who is or will be in my situation to know what to expect. Last Wednesday, I was due to have cataract surgery via Dr. Lakhani of Toms River who, by the way is an absolutely genius of a doctor. Anyway, by law I had to be COVID tested three days in advance so I went Sunday after church to Rite-Aid. After being told all along that Results would be available in “2-5” days or “2-7” days (“but most often two days or less”), I went ahead, but my results were not in by 11 a.m. Tuesday, 48 hours after the test. I called Rite-Aid back and for the first time it was clarified to me that it was two BUSINESS days, which meant the earliest I’d be eligible to get results was Wednesday morning (the surgery was slated for Wednesday afternoon, at noonish.) See, I learned that the hours after my test on Sunday did not count now, because Sunday is not a business day. Would have been nice to know that at the outset! I called the lab who processes the results and they could not confirm that RiteAid even sent them (more on that later.) Rite-Aid, of course, insisted that the results were, indeed, sent to the Lab (there in New York
State.) Wednesday morning still brought no results, and RiteAid then changed the goal posts and explained that the usual waiting time was now “2-10” days. I forfeited my surgery for Wednesday but thankfully, Dr. Lakhani re-scheduled me for Friday. On Thursday, STILL no results by noon and I called the lab again. Long story short, they blamed Rite-Aid for not leveling with me in the first place about how long this might take (so do I.) I called Rite-Aid again and one of the people who work there actually suggested that the lab was extra long getting results to me because I might have COVID and they’re re-testing the sample to make sure before they inform me! Friday morning I finally got the results. I was negative for COVID (whew) and Doc Lakhani worked his wonders on me again that afternoon (he did my right eye in 2016, this time he did my left eye.) Thank you, Rite-Aid, for the free COVID tests but a little more honesty and specificity about how long it might possibly take to get results would be very, very helpful to customers lined up for surgery. I used to run a business in North Jersey, and when I gave my customers something that was “free” I endeavored to make the gift “hassle-free,” as well as “free” from a financial standpoint. It’s best to under-promise and over-deliver, not the other way around! I know that COVID testing is a relatively new thing and you’re inexperienced at it, but these principles of how to do business the right way are ancient and are still necessary, here in 2020. Yes, most often we shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth but if it leaves a bad taste in OUR mouths, well.... Chet Jelinski Whiting
Trump Lies To Fox News Finally, even Fox News has started calling Trump out on his lies. In that Chris Wallace interview, you should try to watch it, it’s all over the web. The first thing the president lies about is that more testing equals more cases. Here, I’m not sure he realizes he’s lying or if he just doesn’t understand how this works. Maybe at one point, more testing equaled more cases. Because you can’t get a positive unless you test, right? But that’s not why it’s going up right now. It’s going up because certain states are reopening and people aren’t wearing masks there. As Wallace says, testing has gone up 37 percent, but infections have gone up 194 percent. Then (Trump) says some of them aren’t even cases. He says they are just sniffles. So, does he think doctors are lying? 75,000 new cases a day and 1,000 people dying a day. These are facts. All of the European Union has 6,000 cases right now, and Trump thinks it’s because they don’t test. Now, I could see China or Russia lying about their numbers, but England? Spain? Italy? Every country in the European Union is lying, or is Trump lying? He then claimed that Dr. Fauci told him that COVID-19 would pass. When did Fauci ever say this? Trump said this over and over again. He said
Letters To The EditorHealth Insurance it’ll go away in the summer. Schools Not The heat will kill it. We’ll have a few cases and then it’ll blow over. Trump said this. I’ve never heard Dr. Fauci say anything like that. The fact that Trump said Fauci is “a little alarmist” and then says that Fauci told him it will blow over – what should we believe? He’s contradicting himself in the same breath. Then he threatened to pull federal funding if schools don’t open. He said New Jersey only had 1 death under 18. That’s because the schools were closed! He said that Biden wants to defund the police. Then they tried to look through the Biden platform and couldn’t find it. In fact, the Biden literature said more funding for police. Trump just never expected anyone to fact check him. Then when it comes to the military wanting to rename bases that were named after Confederate generals, Trump says “I don’t care what the military says. I do – I’m supposed to make the decision.” And if it wasn’t enough that he was degrading the military, he then degraded teachers, saying they teach kids to hate America. When Chris Wallace asked him where he sees that, Trump says “I look at the stuff.” The fact that he called Fox News – which has backed him every step of the way – Fake News explains a lot.

Safe Yet I will not send my son to school for in-person learning. He is supposed to start kindergarten. Schools require kids to be inoculated for various viruses (measles, mumps, etc.) to enroll. However, they can go to school while we’re in the middle of a highly contagious viral pandemic that has no vaccine or proven treatment plan and I’m supposed to feel OK sending my kid to school? Nope.

“Wake Up, White America!” As a white man living in Ocean County, I feel that I have to take the responsibility to educate myself to better understand the Black Lives Matter demonstrations happening across the country and in our own backyards. I recognize my white privilege, and am making it a part of my daily practice to educate other white people to raise their own awareness and become more critically conscious. Most recently, I watched the movie “Just Mercy “ and participated in a webinar hosted by Georgetown University’s Institute of Catholic Social Thought and Public Life. I engaged in an online Zoom discussion with the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation committee with St. Francis Of Assisi Parish of LBI. We had a dialogue about the role Catholics can take to fight racism. The reminder I took away was that I need to be more present and willing to be vulnerable. I’m taking one step at a time to move towards liberation. I’m doing my part to educate myself and other white people in my daily activities and strongly encourage others to do the same.

Companies Should Not Be Taxed
As a representative of the state’s health insurance brokers, I want to voice my strong opposition against a Senate bill that calls for a 2.75% state tax on fully-insured health insurance premiums for health benefits plans, MEWAs and dental and vision coverage in New Jersey. The bill, (S-2676), would add yet another tax on the average New Jersey citizens. Now, during this unprecedented public health emergency and deep economic disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, this proposal is unconscionable and unacceptable. New Jerseyans deserve affordable and more accessible health insurance, not another barrier to care for their employees and families. The New Jersey Association of Health Underwriters, of which I am a member, respectfully urges our state legislators to oppose such a harmful bill that would affect millions of people. Some lawmakers contend this bill would somehow make health insurance cheaper for all. Yet in all my years as a health insurance broker in this state, I have never seen how taxing an insurance product magically makes it cheaper. This bill is just another way in which the cost of doing business in New Jersey gets more and more unsustainable, while we see our health coverage become less affordable for both employers and their employees across our state. State lawmakers need to help, not further compound the fi nancial hardships so many of us are already facing. Desmond X. Slattery Spring Lake Legislative Chairman New Jersey Association of Health Underwriters

Pollution:
Continued From Page 1 day of a beach closing is too many. We need to keep our beaches safe for swimming by working with shore towns to build the infrastructure that will keep the water clean.” He added, “the shore is packed this summer and our natural areas have been never been more crowded. In the summer of COVID, let’s commit to practicing social distancing, beating the virus and cleaning up our waters.” O’Malley added, “now is the time to provide funding to ensure that our waters are always safe for swimming by reducing run-off and sewage pollution.” To assess beach safety, the group examined whether fecal indicator bacteria levels exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) most protective “Beach Action Value,” which is associated with an estimated illness rate of 32 out of every 1,000 swimmers. Beachwood Beach West in Beachwood and the 25th Street Bay Front Beach in Barnegat Light both had nine exceedances and had bacteria levels above this safety threshold on 50 percent and 43 percent of the days respectively tested last year. The testing was conducted at 222 Ocean and Bay beaches. Clean Ocean Action Director Cindy Zipf said, “the Jersey Shore’s ocean water quality isn’t perfect, but it has come a long, long way – vastly improving since the late 1980s when hundreds of beaches were closed for weeks on end.” “Over the years, Clean Ocean Action has worked together with many people at the federal, state, and local levels to successfully identify and stop sources of what we call ‘poo-llution’ into our coastal waterways,” Zipf said. She added that due to a grant from the NJDEP, Clean Ocean Action, Save Barnegat
Bay, and the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science (MATES) “are teaming-up to find and slow the flow of poo-llution in Barnegat Bay, a hot spot highlighted in the study.” Zipf said, “the truth is, water quality really depends on all of us, and residents can help by getting involved in protecting your local waterway and always collecting your pet’s waste and never leaving it behind.” Polluted runoff from roads and parking lots, overflowing or failing sewer systems, and farms are common sources of contamination that can put swimmers’ health at risk and lead authorities to close beaches or issue health advisories. Scientists estimate that 57 million instances of people getting sick each year from contact with polluted waters in the U.S. Beachwood Mayor Ron Roma said, “we are committed to finding and fixing the problems that cause our beach closings. We have expended significant resources with multiple partners to date and will now be partnering with a grant to bring in specially trained dogs to sniff-out any sewer leaks that may be under the ground in the coming year to help locate problem areas.” Beachwood’s beach is actually on the Toms River, fed by Barnegat Bay. However, since there is little current, bacteria stays longer. Other beaches in the state that were found potentially unsafe for swimming at least twice last year included those in Brick, Harvey Cedars (Bay Front), Sea Girt, Wildwood, Surf City, Belmar, Long Branch, Somers Point, Seaside Park, Upper Township, Highlands Borough, Neptune, North Wildwood, Sea Bright, Sea Isle City, Wildwood Crest and Cape May. “Everyone is enjoying the beaches this summer so far, but there is always a threat to the shore. The threat is water pollution. Stormwater runoff and sewage end up in our bays and ocean, closing beaches for
sometimes days at a time,” New Jersey Sierra Club Director Jeff Tittel said. He added, “this report once again is a wake-up call that New Jersey needs to do more to protect our coast and bays from chronic pollution, runoff from fertilizers and septics, and old leaky sewer pipes. As temperatures rise and water infrastructure gets older, we’ll see more closed beaches.” Brick Township Mayor John G. Ducey said, “we must all be aware that, while beautiful, our Barnegat Bay presents unique water quality challenges which require understanding of the implications of fertilizer use and waste management on storm water runoff.” Ducey added, “we applaud and will continue to work with our local and regional non-profit partners to educate property owners on ways we can improve water quality. At the same time, we call on our federal partners to fully fund water quality improvement initiatives.” Britta Wenzel, who serves as the executive director of Save Barnegat Bay said, “water quality is critical to the Jersey Shore. Barnegat Bay is an estuary, a combination of fresh water from rivers and salty ocean waters combining. Protecting Barnegat Bay begins in the Pinelands or the headwaters of all rivers, and in our neighboring cities to the north, as pollution from CSOs travel south in our ocean waters and reach the beaches at the shore. “We are all connected through water. We must support major investments in water infrastructure improvements if we want to keep our memories alive and our shore economy intact. Swimming, fishing, boating, crabbing, rentals, restaurants and so much more, relies on safe, clean water. Every dollar counts when we invest in water quality, we see the return directly in our local and state economy,” she added. Surfrider Foundation Mid Atlantic Region-

al Manager John Weber said, “the ocean beaches are mostly free of problems but it is the bayside beaches where we see high numbers more frequently. We’ve solved certain problems impacting the ocean like dumping and treatment plant outfall pipes.” He added however that “bay beaches are the recipients of all the water falling on the land around them. We can address that with better infrastructure and low impact development techniques.” Report Methodology The data used for New Jersey, and every other state, is the data that states submitted to the national Water Quality Portal. The EPA did not perform the water sampling – whatever data New Jersey submitted for 2019 is what was reviewed. Water quality data presented in the report is not necessarily comparable between beaches or states, as sampling techniques, reporting practices, frequency of testing and other factors vary by agency and by site. Some beaches, results are reported as a daily summary of multiple individual samples, with the potential to mask certain high bacteria readings. Some beaches are subject to additional testing following rainfall, pollution events like sewage spills, or as follow-up to other tests showing high bacteria counts, creating the potential for those beaches to show a higher percentage of contaminated days than if sampling had occurred at regular intervals. Tests at several beaches were taken more frequently than others, including multiple times per day, or at multiple testing sites. Many beaches are not monitored at all and may present risks that are unaddressed in the report. Residents can view more here: waterquality data.us/portal/

Boat:
Continued From Page 1 call to that business was not returned by press time. The neighbors’ complaints were many: Acres of trees were cut down. The trees were buried on the property, so they will eventually break down and cause whatever’s on top to come crashing down. The racks weren’t installed tightly, and can come apart easily. The fill might not have been tested, so it is unknown where it came from and if it’s safe. There is asphalt in the fill, which is leading to oil leaking on the site. The fill has eroded and filled in nearby environmentally sensitive wetlands. Any water visible has an oily sheen on it. The wetlands there feed into the Mill Creek and then into the Barnegat Bay. There’s no protective fencing, so kids can enter the property. As one resident said: “No one will do anything until someone gets hurt or killed and then they’ll say ‘Oh, we should have done something.’” There’s no dedicated entrance for it from Route 9, so boats are towed out of an area across from Wawa and Sonata Bay. Now that the woods are cleared residents can hear Route 9. There was also a pipe leading from the site directly into the woods but the neighbors suspect that it is actually coming from a different business. And one of their biggest complaints of all: Why hasn’t the town stopped this? “It’s stupid what he’s getting away with,” said Tom Prosser, a local contractor who has been speaking on behalf of the neighborhood. “It’s a disaster and nobody’s doing anything. How can you clear 8 acres for an illegal boat yard with no permits?” He shared a story of one of the neighbors putting in a shed. The town wanted him to get three engineers, so he gave up. So, he said, it doesn’t pay to do things the right way. Instead, you can just do something illegal and the town won’t stop you. However, they did say that the town forced NJ Outboard to take boats off the uninspected racks. At the most recent Township Council meeting, Mayor Carmen Amato said that
The Berkeley Times, August 1, 2020, Page 9 the property owner has received 6 violations from the construction department and 4 from code enforcement. Business Administrator John Camera said that the property owner has put in an application for the boat yard to go before the Planning Board. The Planning Board is the governing body that approves or denies construction plans. He said that the process for a planning board application requires public
comment and assured the residents that they’ll have their chance to have their voices heard. Officials said that the fines got the owner into court and now due process has to take over. Prosser said that it’s too little, too late. The township should have stopped this when it started. Now, the property owner will profit all summer while only paying a few fines.
He mentioned that the owner of the Beachwood Mall was fined $1,000 a day to force them to knock it down. Council President Keith Buscio said he visited the site about six months ago, and saw all the things they talked about. “I’m embarrassed for the town that this is still going on,” he said. Councilman Thomas Grosse asked if the town can file an injunction and Township Attorney Lauren Staiger recommended that.

Ocean Gate Day Still On, With Social Distancing
By Chris Lundy OCEAN GATE - Ocean Gate Day will still be held this year, with some changes due to coronavirus. The popular event will be held from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Aug. 15 at the corner of Wildwood and Longport Avenue. The rain date is Aug. 16. There will still be vendors, food trucks and ice cream. The difference is that vendors will be spaced farther apart and will have hand sanitizer nearby. Like grocer y stores, there will be a suggested path for people to walk through, one-way, to limit the amount
of times people are crowding around. The cardboard boat parade that is held by the First Aid Squad has unfortunately been cancelled for this year. COVID-19 requires social distancing and that popular event has people lined up shoulder to shoulder on the beach and on the pier. Gov. Phil Murphy had said that masks are required for outside events if social distancing is not possible. The beach will be open.

Push For Homeless Shelter Continues
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A local councilman is renewing his plea to have a homeless shelter built in Ocean County. Currently, the county places the homeless in temporary housing. This solves the short term problem of shelter, but not the root cause of homelessness, Councilman Terrance Turnbach said. While in these motels, they continue to have access to drugs and alcohol; any behavioral issues are not checked. “If we do not address the underlying issues causing an individual to be homeless, we are akin to hamsters running on a wheel. It is time to admit that providing money for people to stay in motels is not a plan that will meaningfully address chronic homelessness,” he said. Toms River opened Riverwood Park Recreation Center off Whitesville Road for Code Blue during nights in the winter. This is a statewide regulation that opens shelters when the temperature reaches freezing. It is run by the nonprofit Just Believe, Inc. According to their figures, there were 193 different people who stayed in the Toms River shelter overnight last winter. During the winter of 2018-2019, that number was 178. These figures do not include those who stayed in other places that were open for Code Blue. Based on these numbers alone, Turnbach said the county’s plan is not working. “Respectfully we must reset our approach to addressing homelessness. The end goal cannot be providing temporary shelter. The end goal must be transitioning individuals into permanent housing,” he said. A shelter would provide people with not only a roof over their heads, but supervision and services that address the reasons that they are homeless in the first place. Shelter Location Part of the problem with homeless shelters is that people don’t want them in their back
yard. The site would also need to be near jobs and public transportation, which means it wouldn’t be hidden away. Turnbach said the ideal location for a transitional housing facility would be where a shut down hotel presently is. The Parkway Motel, formerly the Americana, is located at 925 Route 166. It is near the intersection of Route 9 and Route 37. When inspectors came in 2019, they found parts of the ceiling missing, mold, electrical hazards, and trash littering the property. The building was deemed unlivable. Despite being unlivable, there were 18 people living there at the time. Most of them had jobs but couldn’t afford a safe place to live on minimum wage jobs, especially while paying $250 a week (and in some cases more) to live in substandard housing. The neighboring Hana restaurant is also shut down and for sale, and the combination of both properties would be ideal, he said. It’s within walking distance of a grocery store, a pharmacy, and other social services. And since it’s in a commercial zone, not a residential zone, there are fewer neighbors to say “not in my back yard.” Cost There’s a cost in taking care of people. Turnbach pointed to studies that showed that it’s cheaper to provide transitional housing programs rather than Band-aid measures. He had spoken with the county to establish a Homelessness Trust Fund, but the county disagrees with this. It would set aside money funded by a fee of a few dollars spent by people filing documents with the county. Currently, the Code Blue shelter is run by volunteers, but they are not the only ones. A network of religious and social services groups are in constant contact with each other and the homeless and food insecure people in the area. One of them, he said, is even in the process of acquiring a grant to buy the Parkway Motel property.
Jewish Federation Of Ocean County Supports Police, First Responders
By Bob Vosseller LAKEWOOD – Members of the Jewish Federation of Ocean County are continuing their program of support and appreciation of first responders. This program of sending messages of support has come from arranging “feel good” food deliveries to local police departments. Federation member Sharron Greenberg said that “in Ocean County, they have been great partners to the Jewish community in addressing our security concerns and combating hate and anti-Semitism. Thank you!” “The police department’s chose their pre-
ferred treats. Al’s Pizza delivered to the Toms River department while Lakewood Police requested Jersey Mike’s, and Divi Tree Coffee put together a wonderful display for members of the Brick Police Dept.,” Greenberg added. The Federation is asking that anyone who in need of support or counseling to call them at 732-363-8010. Jewish Federation of Ocean County is hosting Oy Corona! a night of comedy fundraiser for Jewish Family and Children’s Service on Aug.4, at 7:30 p.m. Free registration for the event is available by visiting jewishoceancounty.org/oycorona.

What to Expect after a Total Knee Replacement A Physical Therapy Perspective By: Joel Maietta, DPT, Wall Facility Manager
DOES THE IDEA OF A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT SCARE YOU? While the thought of having a total knee replacement sounds daunting and arduous, there are many misconceptions regarding rehabilitation following the surgery. Often people run (not literally) from the idea of having this surgery because they hear horror stories of painful therapy sessions and a long grueling recovery period. However, with proper education, motivation, and the guidance of a skilled rehabilitation team, recovery should be nothing to worry about. WHY DO PEOPLE NEED TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENTS? The primary reason people require a total knee replacement is to rid their knee of a painful condition called Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis develops when the
process begins right away in the hospital following surgery when a skilled physical therapist begins showing you the proper technique for getting out of bed, getting up from chairs, and even walking with the use of a walker! Many are surprised that these once painful activities now feel easier and more comfortable! Once the medical staff and rehabilitation team determine you can move around safely and have proper support at home you will be discharged from the hospital. Most people only end up staying in the hospital for a few days. In some cases additional medical monitoring is needed and you may be placed in a rehabilitation hospital in which you will receive guided Physical and Occupational Therapy while under the supervision of doctors and nurses. This stay usually lasts a few days to a week and then you are allowed to return to your household. Once you have made it back to your home your doctor may or may not request a therapist visit your home for a few days to continue with exercises and assist with daily activity training. Following a few home therapy sessions your doctor will direct you to begin Outpatient Physical Therapy at a facility of your choice. HOW DO I CHOOSE WHERE TO GO FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY FOLLOWING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT?
smooth cartilage that cushions your joint starts to break down resulting in stiffness, pain, and that “grinding” sensation you feel in your knee. Unfortunately, our bodies are unable to reproduce adequate cartilage to repair the lost cushioning. As a result, a surgeon must often times perform surgery to replace these painful joint surfaces with artificial materials. This allows for the return of smooth, pain-free motion in your knee. WHAT DOES REHABILITATION CONSIST OF AFTER A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT? The key to a successful recovery is early exercise and activity to facilitate the healing process and prevent stiffness in the knee. Our bodies are amazing healers and immediately start repairing following the surgery with the production of scar tissue. However, movement directs the alignment of this new scar tissue, so the earlier and more often you begin moving, the easier your recovery will be! Therefore, the rehabilitation
When choosing a facility for this phase of rehabilitation it is important to research your options by talking to doctors and previous patients to find the place that is right for you. Outpatient Physical Therapy is your final step to a full recovery and also the longest step. That being said it is important to find a place where you feel safe, comfortable, and where all your goals and needs will be heard and attended to. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH MY OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION FOLLOWING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT? You will be spending 2-3 days a week in physical therapy for sessions lasting around one hour, however it is expected that you perform home exercises daily because the time spent in therapy alone is not enough for a full and functional recovery. In the facility, a skilled Physical Therapist will work with you to further improve your ability to straighten and bend your knee as well as progress the strength of your whole leg. The greatest gift therapists have is our hands and we have been educated and trained
on specific techniques to improve the mobility of your knee to allow you to move with the least amount of pain possible. Once your mobility and strength start to improve, other activities are included to improve your ability to walk without any assistive devices as well as exercises to allow you to walk up and down stairs. Most people are able to walk without a cane or walker as early as 4-6 weeks after their surgery! Your Therapist will also discuss any additional goals you may have including returning to activities such as golf, tennis, and swimming. These are all realistic goals which can be attained with proper guidance by your Therapist. At All-Care Physical Therapy we specialize in innovative approaches to make your recovery from a Total Knee Replacement as painless and enjoyable as possible. Our friendly staff and skilled therapists will attend to your every need and get you back to your life, so fear not the dreaded Total Knee Replacement!

Hearing Help During Pandemic Times
In my opinion, the effects of Covid-19 will remain in effect for at least the next 6 months and more than likely will linger into 2021. I strongly believe there will be several viable vaccines as well as therapeutics by the end of this year. In the meantime, it’s very important to wear a mask when social distancing is not an option. Always carry “hand sanitizer” with you! When you decide to visit your hearing healthcare professional, make sure they have procedures in place in line with CDC recommendations. For example, in my practice, we take everyone’s temperature and have them complete a covid-19 questionnaire. Secondly, we limit only two patients in our waiting room at the same time. Third, we allow more time between patients to disinfect all areas. Fourth, we have each patient leave our office from a different location. As a general rule, we are allowing at least an extra 15-30 minutes per patient. What this should mean is that you’re hearing care professional should be spending more time with you at each appointment. Equally important, if you’re not comfortable entering our offices, we offer
curbside services for folks who just have a hearing aid problem. We would disinfect the hearing instrument, fix it, and return it to you while you wait in your car. If we have to send the hearing aid back for repair, we can provide you with a loaner hearing instrument. Finally, as we remain stuck in our homes, we realize how important it is to hear clearly. Don’t hesitate to have your hearing tested and if you’re wearing a hearing aid, it should cost nothing for us to clean and adjust them. Please be careful when removing your mask while wearing your hearing aids. Many folks have lost their hearing instruments because of the mask. Ask your hearing care professional to add a “sports lock” to the receiver wires and/or consider custom micromolds. In addition, we have “ear savers” that will attach to most masks that will help prevent LOSS of the hearing aid when removing your mask. Dr. Izzy is always available to answer all of your important questions about most hearing care issues. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or visit us at www.Gardenstatehearing.com. Our offices are in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting.

The Best Tips To Avoid Insect Stings By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Nothing can ruin a perfectly nice picnic or hike like an insect sting! It could lead to local discomfort, swelling, redness and pain. In fact, it could cause an anaphylactic reaction to those people who are truly allergic to an insect’s venom. It’s not easy to train yourself to ignore them. It’s more likely you’ll make sudden movements and wave your arms or swat the air. I totally get it. Today’s article is to help you avoid a sting. Don’t wear red! Red can appear to be very dark or black, a color bees and wasps associate with a predator, so they will go on the defensive and get angered. If you wear bright colored clothes, you could easily be mistaken for a flower. In fact, do not wear a flowery shirt because they’ll have to get up close to you to see that you’re not actually a plant! I think you’re best bet is to wear neutral earth tones that make you blend in with the flora and fauna, such as beige, khaki, maroon, black or grey. Here are some of the best tips to avoid getting stung by an insect: • Avoid fruit-flavored lip gloss, shampoo or soap. • Don’t walk up to their nest, they will defend it with their life! • Do not wear perfume or perfumed deodorants. • Do not use scented shampoo, conditioner or lotion. • Dispose of soft drink cans and bottles because they attract bees. It’s sort of like sugar-water, and they love it!
• Bugs are partial to beer! Make sure you keep an eye out so one doesn’t crawl into your beer for a sip, and then you drink a mouthful! • Make sure you’re clean. Some insects get ‘angry’ if they smell sweat. • Wear long sleeves and long pants to cover as much as possible. • Avoid bananas, this might attract bees because they think you’re food! • Watch out if you are near discarded food or dog feces. Wasps have a keen sense of smell and detest wormwood, peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus and thyme. If you wanted to dab yourself with these essential oils, it might deter them from coming too close. For that matter, you could plant these in your garden to act as a natural insect repellant. If you get stung, move away to safety quickly. Don’t worry about getting the stinger out in that moment, just get away. Bees can only sting a person once, but it will release a chemical that attracts other bees in the area. Wasps can sting repeatedly so if you get bit, run away from the space as quickly as possible. Bees will leave the stinger in the skin, but wasps don’t usually do that. It’s best to scrape the stinger away from you with a credit card, or a letter opener or something like that versus a tweezer which might squeeze more venom into you. Usually hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion or aloe helps with immediate fi rst aid, however, some people need an antihistamine or numbing agent.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Commercial Rent Payments And The Coronavirus By: Marc S. Galella, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many commercial tenants are asking whether they are excused from making rent payments if the tenant’s business has been impacted or shut down by as a result of the coronavirus. In particular, they are asking whether a force majeure clause often found in commercial leases, excuses the tenant from having to pay rent. A force majeure clause in commercial leases generally relieve the performance of a party because of an unforeseeable circumstance beyond the control of the parties to the lease which causes a party not to be able to perform under the lease. The term “force majeure” usually means an event that could not have been reasonably anticipated, or which, if anticipated, could not be controlled. Force majeure clauses are added to leases to excuse a party’s performance under the lease in cases of natural disasters or “acts of God,” such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, etc. The answer to this question depends on the terms of the commercial lease. Does the lease contain a force majeure clause? If so, does the clause specifically address the issue as to the payment of rent. In many, if not most, force majeure clauses the obligation to pay rent is not forgiven in the case of an event that is beyond the control of the parties. Thus, the commercial lease must be reviewed to see whether it contains a force majeure clause and what is excused or not excused under that clause. New Jersey courts have traditionally
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Marc S. Galella Esq.
been very reluctant to allow force majeure clauses to excuse the perfor mance of one party to a commercial lease and especially to excuse the payment of rent under the lease. Courts look to see whether the event should have been anticipated by the parties and addressed in the lease. Not all unforeseen events are subject to the force majeure clause. The lease would need to be reviewed as to whether the shutdown of a business by the government is an event that is covered by the force majeure clause. In addition, the coronavirus may not be considered an “act of God” if a court determines if it should have been foreseen in the drafting of the lease. As you can see, there is no definite answer to the question of whether a force majeure clause excuse the non-payment of rent by a tenant. Tenants and landlords should consult with their attorneys to review their commercial leases and determine whether the lease contains a force majeure clause and, if so, whether the force majeure excuses the payment of rent by the tenant. If the payment of rent is excused, what are the terms for the non-payment of rent? Please note that the discussion above pertains only to commercial leases. Force majeure clauses are not typically found in residential leases.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE DWI Campaign Recalls Tragedy Of The Past
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY − Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer recently announced that the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, in conjunction with the Ocean County Traffic Safety Officer’s Association, is re-launching a Driving While Intoxicated awareness campaign. The campaign was announced on the eve of what would have been the 45th birthday of Kimberly Smith Ames of Beachwood. She was a 23-year-old newlywed, three months pregnant with her fi rst child, when she was tragically killed by a drunk driver on Oct. 7, 1998 in her hometown. In the aftermath of her tragic death, her photo became part a state-wide DWI awareness campaign featuring billboards and signs posted in local stores. Prosecutor Billhimer re-introduced her story to a new generation and new billboards have been created with the blessing of the Smith family. Billboards began being placed throughout Ocean County on July 28. Kimberly’s unborn child would have been 21 years old. “Growing up in Ocean County, I was friends with Kimberly’s older brother and sister. I remember vividly the pain and sorrow her family went through dealing
with the loss of Kimberly and her unborn baby,” Billhimer said. He added, “to this day the family is still grieving. It was my honor to reconnect with the Smith family and to have their full support with the re-launching of this campaign. I hope that people will see Kimberly’s face and think twice about getting behind the wheel when they are impaired.” “Educating new drivers and the general public about the dangers of impaired driving is always a priority. Enforcement is a priority as well and my office will continue to work with our local law enforcement partners to focus on targeted enforcement to prevent impaired driving,” Prosecutor Billhimer added. The Ocean County Traffic Safety Officer’s Association presents the Kimberly Smith Ames DWI Prevention Award every year to a police officer that proactively enforces DWI laws in Ocean County. This award’s purpose is to bring public awareness of the commitment and determination of police officers within Ocean County concerning the education and prevention of Driving While Intoxicated offenses and acknowledging officers who have demonstrated such commitment.

Fulfill Receives Donations From Toms River BID and Ocean County Vintage Car Club
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Fullfill, formerly known and the Food Bank of Ocean and Monmouth counties received a special donation recently. The Toms River Business Improvement District and the Ocean County Vintage Car Club collaborated to host a food drive for Fulfill’s Distribution Center at the B.E.A.T Center in Toms River. Around 20 antique cars paraded up to the facility with their trunks popped and engines revving, ready to donate the
much-needed food. Twelve volunteers helped unload these donations into the Fulfill warehouse. This collaboration was especially successful on the first night, having collected more than 440 pounds of food that amounted to 372 meals. They plan to do this a number of times for Fulfill throughout the summer. Fulfill Chief Executive Officer and President Kim Guadagno, the former Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey noted that “the Jersey Shore is as needy as every place else, not only in New Jersey, but across America.”

By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – Lines of cars to receive food served to remind members of the shore area’s leading food distribution agency that the current COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause tough times for those in the shore area. Cars lined up at Fulfill’s main distribution center in Neptune and were recorded as being more than a mile and a half long on July 2. People waited in their cars for hours to receive a Fourth of July holiday meal for their families and an emergency food kit which serves a family of four for four days. The food distribution, “makes it a little bit easier for me. My kids want to have a barbeque. The lady at the pantry told me to come here because they were handing out packages. It makes it a little easier, because I’m out of work right now. It helps,” said Robert Jenkins, a father Fulfill representatives spoke to from Brick Township as he waited on the line. Food items distributed included ground beef, hot dogs, rolls, watermelon, corn, chips, mustard, ketchup, baked beans, chips, and soda for an Independence Day barbeque. The “Pop Your Trunk Fourth of July Drive Thru Food Distribution” held by Fulfill served about 40,000 meals during the two-day event. The first day was held at Fulfill’s People’s Pantry at the B.E.A.T. Center in Toms River. Fulfill CEO and President Kim Guadagno, the former Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey said “one thing we saw is that the Jersey Shore is as needy as every place else, not only in New Jersey, but across America.” She added, “you saw lines every bit as bad as you saw in the Mid-West and throughout the country to receive a few meals. And we also found that some of these people were living in their cars… and if that doesn’t make you cry, I don’t know what will.” Toms R iver resident Tony Tor rez said the group’s food assistance was incredibly kind as he waited in his car. “It’s some great help especially in this pandemic. There are families that are struggling, so Fulfill is a great amount of hope.”
Bonnie McHale of the Lanoka Harbor section of Lacey also had a story to tell. She was at Fulfill’s People’s Pantry at The B.E.A.T. Center in Toms River. Her husband is bedridden, and she is unable to work because she is taking care of him. “This help today from Fulf ill is a blessing. If I can get this little bit of food, then I don’t have to spend money on food. It helps me to pay my taxes and other bills. It’s hard with all the medical things that we’re dealing with,” Bonnie McHale said. When bright spot for Fulfill and those they serve has been the Food for Friends program at Stop & Shop. Food for Friends COVID-19 RELIEF has been very beneficial for the organization. Through this program, Stop & Shop has raised $39,000 for Fulfill to help it with its mission of feeding those in need. Guadagno said, “the success of Stop & Shop’s Food for Friends Program will provide 117,000 meals to people in need in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.” “During a time when Fulfill needs help more than ever - with a 40% spike in the demand for food since the pandemic hit - we truly appreciate the support! Thank you to Stop & Shop, and of course, our sincerest appreciation to all of its customers for donating to Fulfill during this crisis,” Guadagno added. Stop & Shop’s 30th annual Food for Fr iends campaig n raised more than $1.3 million to support the COVID-19 response efforts of food banks in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The Food for Friends campaign is an annual summer donation program where customers at Stop & Shop stores are able to donate at checkout to support hunger relief, by rounding up to the nearest dollar and donating the difference. Stop & Shop President Gordon Reid said, “we’re very grateful for the overwhelming generosity of our customers to help us support our food bank partners in their important work to provide food to individuals and families during this pandemic.” “The response from our customers shows that any size contribution can add up to make a meaningful impact in our communities,” Reid added.

By Bob Vosseller MANAHAWKIN – Hackensack Meridian Southern Ocean Medical Center recently expanded its catheterization lab and interventional radiology procedures at its southern hospital facility. The hospital made a $1.5 million investment, adding a GE Innova IGS 540 angiography suite. The facility was designed to expand available interventional procedures, such as minimally invasive peripheral vascular and endovascular procedures and aortic aneurysm repair. This advanced technology enables the medical center to diagnose and treat more patients with cardiovascular disease. Vascular Surgeon and Vice Chairman of the Department of Surgery Arthur DeMarsico said, “with this latest cutting-edge technology, diagnosis of heart, artery and valve disease as well as evaluation for interventional procedures are now accessible to achieve the best patient outcomes.” “By providing a unique combination of superior image clarity and reduced radiation, vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and cardiologists have the best tools and equipment necessary to provide numerous state-of-the-art interventional procedures in a safe environment,” DeMarsico said. Southern Ocean Medical Center Chief Hospital Executive Michele Morrison said “ss we continue to meet the growing needs
of our community, this major expansion provides advanced interventional radiology procedures that will dramatically impact cardiac care and vascular disease for residents in the Southern Ocean community.” Southern Market Regional President Kenneth N. Sable said the investment would help address the growing number of procedures performed at Southern Ocean Medical Center “providing advanced imaging for the diagnosis and treatment of an array of cardiac and vascular conditions.” A celebratory ribbon cutting held on July 24 at Southern Ocean Medical Center noted the opening of the new Cardiac, Vascular and Interventional Radiology Suite and, to acknowledge the grateful gift by community member, Michael Armellino, toward the medical center’s expansion. Southern Ocean Medical Center offers many options for treating cardiovascular illnesses.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 1 - aug 7
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the high road even if it seems simpler to do otherwise. Good karma is always welcome, and when you maintain your integrity, you earn not only self-respect but also respect from others. Play the long game. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might encounter mistakes or become involved in disputes. These problems will be more easily resolved with a “give them the benefit of the doubt� attitude. In the upcoming week you can learn something that will be helpful and uplifting. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A boost in your thinking processes adds fuel to the fire of your enthusiasm. You might be prompted to act quickly, but if you wait until the second half of the week to put plans in motion, the results will be better. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t rush ahead without forethought, whether you’re driving on the roads or challenged to a debate. Avoid confrontations and focus on achieving a compromise whenever there is a disagreement in the upcoming week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep your credit card on ice until you really need it. It is possible you want something for the wrong reasons. Later this week you may have the unique opportunity to take charge or make major advances at work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone could be overeager to jump into action and get you involved. Today isn’t a good time to launch a new enterprise, but if you clear up any misunderstand-
ings, there could be an excellent opportunity for success later this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone’s brashness or tendency to jump the gun could feel wrong. Don’t let a misunderstanding interfere with your desire to reach long-term goals or disturb the tranquility of a relationship this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some chemistry is romantic, but when the wrong energies come in contact, there could be an unpleasant reaction. Hold off on initiating new relationships and wait until later in the week to make crucial decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Someone close may get burned from playing with fire. Meddling with controversial subjects might leave you vulnerable to a misunderstanding. Later this week you can make wiser and more profitable decisions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Pursuing goals early in the week ahead may start to seem futile. You may think you’re making progress but could end up back where you started. Wait until later in the week to launch important plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Combine astute observations of how things really are with dreams of how you’d like things to be. Wait until the middle of the week, when the timing is better, to put inspired plans into motion with a partner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t make any financial commitments or romantic promises until all the pros and cons are weighed on the scales of common sense. The second part of the week will offer better opportunities for lasting success.
