Future Of Former Free Flea Market Serves As A Proving Ground For Community La Bove Grande Questioned
BREAKING NEWS @
−Photo by Bob Vosseller Construction work at the former site of the La Bove Grande Restaurant and Banquet Hall near the Lakehurst circle was questioned by residents during a recent Borough Council meeting asking if it would become a religious facility based on the menorah that was carved on the wall, or a senior care facility as had been expected.

−Photos by Bob Vosseller (Above) Team members of the Proving Ground Church in Lakehurst gather for a group photo. (Right) Proving Ground Church volunteers set up for a free flea market for Lakehurst and area residents on Aug. 7. By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – For a church that hasn’t opened yet, officially, they sure have been busy serving as a proving ground for community support during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Members of the Proving Ground Church gathered late in the afternoon of Aug. 7 to assemble and arrange items for a special flea market. They didn’t have to worry, however, about marking prices on any of the items - they were all offered up for free as a means to help the community during the ongoing pandemic which has hit hard financially
for many people. This wasn’t the first charity undertaking by the church based on 1 Proving Ground Rd. In April they provided free pantry care packages and more than a generous serving of hope to Lakehurst residents and people in the area in need. Proving Ground Church Administrative Asst. Nicole LeBoeuf said of the event that due to the potential for rain, the flea market was moved indoors as a precaution. “We set up inside so we didn’t have to worry about the rain. We are (Community - See Page 9)
Officials: We’re Still Learning About COVID
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – In the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, the big question was “Is it here?” People looked up the numbers in the state, in the county, even in their own towns. Slowly, each town started to have some positive cases of COVID-19. This made people need even more information. Who had it? Where in town was it? Some members of the public
even wanted to know what streets the people lived on. Now that it is here, people study the numbers differently. They see the large totals. They wonder when we might get past this. They wonder if it’ll ever go down. They wonder if the whole thing is blown out of proportion. The truth is that the numbers have always been a guideline rather than something set in stone.

Daniel Regenye, Ocean County’s Public Health Coordinator, explained the numbers. The case counts show how many tests came back positive. It doesn’t show if someone got better. It doesn’t show if someone moved. There have also been issues where people’s zip codes don’t correspond to where they actually live. For example, there are people in Berkeley’s senior (COVID - See Page 4)
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Residents questioned the future of a familiar restaurant site and the construction work going on there during a recent Borough Council meeting. The former site of the La Bove Grande property has had some work done to its exterior in recent months and residents asked what is to become of the site located in the Lakehurst Circle near Route 70. However, no clear answers could be found. The Manchester Times previously reported in May of 2019 that a deed had been recorded on March 14 of that year from the Ocean County Clerk’s Office showing the property had been sold to two limited liability companies, 800 Route 70 LLC and Route 70 Holdings LLC, both listed at P.O. Box 869 in Lakewood. They hold two thirds interest
and one-third interest in the property, respectively. The paperwork on behalf of the buyer is Daniel Czermak a “nonmember manager of the grantee” who was a member of the Lakewood Development Corporation and is the chairman and founder of Beacon Health and Social Services in Oceanport. That firm provides all-inclusive care for elderly patients on Medicare and Medicaid. Several residents who attended the July 16, 2020 council meeting asked about the granite menorah that was carved into the side of the building and asked if the plan for the building was for it to be a senior day care facility that would be open to everyone or if it now had become a religious institution. Previously the Borough Council had considered but later tabled (La Bove - See Page 10)

Continued From Page 1 communities that have Toms River postal codes. Anecdotally, many people have a story of someone who had the symptoms but never got tested. Or, they got tested and got a false negative. So, they are not in that total, even though they probably should be. The numbers on the county’s website come from labs, hospitals, or other providers, he said. Therefore, the published numbers are another source of information to help people make decisions about their household’s choices and risk factors. Can You Get It Twice? There have been cases where someone tested positive for it, then negative, then positive again. However, it is unclear exactly what happened. It could be that the negative test was wrong. Here, doctors can’t tell from the numbers whether it was a new infection or the same one. There are also different tests. The ones that the Health Department have been using for people at Ocean County College in Toms River is considered the most accurate. They draw a sample from the nasal cavity. Since there are different levels of testing, this leads to case totals that might not be accurate. Should We Reopen? Epidemiology – the study of how you
get sick – is far from finished. People are still learning about diseases that have been around for decades. While coronaviruses have been around for a long time, this specific coronavirus, COVID-19, was first found last year. The medical community is constantly learning more about it. For example, we know that the virus can exist on objects for a period of time, Regenye said. However, we don’t know yet how much of it needs to survive in order to transfer. People are being urged to err on the side of caution and clean surface areas. Gov. Phil Murphy has been criticized by some as being too overbearing on his shutdown of the state, and of government overreach. Regenye said that from a medical standpoint, erring on the side of caution is generally a good idea, but it’s hard to balance the medical side with the other down sides to the economy and other facets of life. COVID-19 has caused a ripple effect, impacting everything. Health shouldn’t be defined only as ‘the number of deaths’ or the ‘number of cases.’ There are other ways to define health. During the quarantine, domestic violence numbers have gone up. Overdoses have gone up. Suicides are up significantly. There is social and mental well-being in addition to physical. There needs to be balance, but it’s unclear exactly how to find that balance, he said.
The epidemiology still shows that the elderly and at-risk population are the most likely to die or be hospitalized. But at the same time, how do you open buildings and hold large gatherings? At what point are we willing to accept minor cases of COVID and not let them make others vulnerable? Most cases are minor. However, they can come into contact with someone who is high risk. The balance is to protect the most vulnerable among us while allowing everyone else to have some kind of normalcy, he said, but that is something no one has figured out yet. Fake News From the very beginning of the pandemic, there has been another plague: that of fake information being broadcast. “It’s important to stay informed, but you should stay informed through credible sources,” Regenye said. There are so many sources of good information, such as the state Health Depar tment, the Center for Disease Control, or World Health Organization. Instead, people are believing what they read on social media. You must filter out misinformation because it can drive you crazy, he said. The medical community is still learning about COVID-19. What is true one day might be different the next. This will cause some people to give up on the experts, but they shouldn’t, he said.

Congressman Smith: ‘Get the Lead Out’ Bill Would Fund $14 Billion To Remove Lead From Water
WASHINGTON, D.C. − Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th), who has been working to help alleviate the threat of lead in drinking water systems in his district and other areas of New Jersey, has partnered with Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX) to introduce the Get the Lead Out Act (HR 7918) which would authorize $14 billion over two years and require every utility in America to develop a plan to identify and remove lead pipes that threaten residents, especially children, from the dangers of lead. “For every family and every household, clean drinking water is an essential necessity of everyday living,” said Smith, prime sponsor of the bill. “People need to know the water from the kitchen tap they drink or cook with is clean and safe for themselves and their families. Lead service line replacement is needed to give them that peace of mind. Local, state and federal government must work together to make that a reality. This bill will help ‘get the lead out’ of drinking water in towns like Trenton and Hamilton in my district, throughout New Jersey and across the country. “Rep. Cuellar and I are teaming up to advance a bipartisan plan to tackle this threat to human health which can cause long-term harm in adults and which presents a particular danger to children, who are especially vulnerable to lead,” Smith said. “No community should have to worry that their drinking water is tainted with lead. Any amount of lead in drinking water can have serious developmental and health impacts for children,” said Cuellar. “This legislation will help utility companies invest in critical
infrastructure plans and remove dangerous chemicals from our communities’ water. I am committed to protecting our children and families by limiting their exposure to lead and making sure they have access to safe drinking water. I want to thank Congressman Smith for his leadership on this issue.” The Smith-Cuellar Get the Lead Out Act directs all community water systems across the US to develop a plan to inventory and replace all lead service lines (LSLs) in their system within 10 years. The plan must be submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. To help community water systems afford these necessary upgrades, the Smith-Cuellar bill authorizes nearly $14 billion over two years with $13 billion targeted directly to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). The DWSRF is a federal-state partnership fund and a main source of funding that allows states to receive monies from EPA and in turn offer low interest loans - and even forgivable loans - to local water systems to achieve healthy drinking water. The bill also provides $180 million for the Lead Reduction Grant Program at the EPA, a competitive grant program for schools, states, municipalities, tribal water systems and community water systems. Once awarded, these funds can be used for corrosion control and replacing lead service lines as well. Smith said, “Congress must act on this critical legislation that’s long overdue and can make drinking water safer for generations of Americans.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Deadline On Political Letters It’s that time again. With election day looming, supporters of candidates like to get letters
into their local paper. It’s important to note that there are deadlines in order to make sure that your letter gets in.
In order to give enough time and space for letters, given the print schedule for our weekly papers, we
will not accept any letters regarding local candidates after Oct. 15. We also will not be running
any press releases from candidates that are on the ballot throughout the month of October.
Thank you for your understanding. Chris Lundy, Editor
Letters To The Editor State Shouldn’t Borrow More This letter was addressed to the President of the Senate, Steve Sweeney. Dear Mr. Sweeney, You are currently supporting a bill to borrow $9.9 billion to avoid mass layoffs of the public workers in New Jersey. You have previously introduced your “Path to Progress” which was supposed to lower the public workers and teachers’ expensive healthcare and pension benefits and consequently lower the tax burden for New Jersey. When you introduced your “Path of Progress” over 2 years ago, the taxpayers of New Jersey felt that they have fi nally someone looking after them and for their interests, in a state that is controlled by special interests. You know that borrowing more money is not the answer to our fiscal problems in New Jersey. New Jersey already owes more than $250 billion that can never be paid back in full, but that
will have to be paid back with higher taxes. In your “Path to Progress” your goal was to reduce taxes. In borrowing more money, you are indeed increasing taxes. So what happened to your grand plan that you introduced two years ago with a big fanfare? At the minimu m, we expect you to tie any borrowing to a per manent reduction, dollar per dollar, of those healthcare and pension benefits. $9.9 billion borrowed should be matched with a permanent $9.9 billion in healthcare and pension cuts. This is your best chance to fi nally reach your goals set by your “Path to Progress” and fi nally put New Jersey on a fi rm fi scal grounds. If those public workers and teachers want to avoid mass layoffs, they will have to agree to reduce all their benefits. Otherwise let the layoffs begin. I guarantee you that as soon as you layoff a mere 100 employees or teachers, the rest will get in line to accept all your “Path to Progress’ proposals.

You are in a perfect position to get what you set in motion two years ago. Don’t blow that chance, Mr. Sweeney, otherwise, your “Path of Progress’ will turn into a “Path to Nowhere” and the big fanfare you had two years ago will have been just blowing air into the wind. And to all of you Senators and Assembly members, we encourage you to reject any plan for more borrowing and to start cutting expenses. It’s time to do the right thing in New Jersey.

Get The Record Straight The author of “Trump Lies to Fox News” (Aug. 1, 2020) is all wrong. First, the author makes no direct reference to the specific lie, but recommends watching Wallace’s interview, which I did. Also you should watch Biden being interviewed when he said yes to reallocating funds from police. President Trump is accused of lying because Biden used a different verb. Whether it’s defund or reallocate, it happens to mean the same. Also, as for President Trump lying, by referring to COVID-19 as only the sniffles for some, then read (in the Aug. 1 edition of The Manchester Times), the fi rst line of the article on page 14 which reads and is quoted as follows: “Anyone could have COVID-19 and not even know it.” This is called the sniffles.
Letters To The Should Editor we en- Elementary School “WarAs for the reference to celebrated? verbalizing statistics, who cares what they say, including Dr. Fauci. The only statistic to recall is that Dr. Fauci did say, over and over, to mitigate, mitigate, which is the best protection against this virus. The rest is noise to fill audio space. We need to come together as Americans instead of disparaging each other. Or, if you want intense taxation and unreasonable regulation, and street lawlessness, then do vote for Biden. It is your Constitutional right, but then Biden and his lot want to strike down this document. Vicious in-fighting by Democrats against Republicans is an insult to every American soldier who fought, died and were maimed in wars to protect our entire country and its Constitution. It is your choice. M. Pellicano Manchester
Columbus Statues Belong In A Museum
Finally, statues of Christopher Columbus are rightfully being removed from the public square. They should, however, not be defaced or destroyed, but moved either to museums or private collections. Next to be removed from ou r consciou sness a nd calendars, should be Columbus Day itself. How can we rationally continue to celebrate and honor a man who brought death and miser y to so many innocent people? Should a man responsible for murder, rape, and the plundering of a culture be
noble and honor a man who helped internationalize the slave trade with a special day each year? Columbus would write in his personal log regarding the native people he encountered: “Let us in the name of the Holy Trinity go on sending all the slaves that can be sold. They do not bear arms…they will make fi ne servants…with 50 men we could subjugate them all.” Apologists for Columbus Day argue that although he did bad things, they are outweighed by his opening up the new world for discovery. By that rationale, one could argue setting aside a day to honor Adolf Hitler. Although he did bad things, he loved children, animals, built the autobahn and provided the locals with an affordable car – the Volkswagen. It has been proposed that Columbus Day be replaced in favor of “Indigenous People Day.” Sounds like a good idea to me, but can one realistically expect the invertebrates that inhabit Congress will have the political will and strength of character to do the right thing? I would not bet the farm on it! Borden Applegate Jackson
Mascot Change Not Important Editor’s note: This letter is in response to a petition to change the ma scots of the Toms River High School South “Indians,” Toms River Intermediate School South “Seminoles,” and Washington St reet
riors.” There are far more pressing issues within the dist r ict and the tow n that are more concerning. The mascots are not racist, derogatory or insensitive with regard to any person, culture or reference to necessitate removal or change. If people/politicians/local officials put half as much effort into the need for preserving quality teachers, resources and funding that is needed in this district, as they do to petition an Indian mascot for a school team, we’d solve A LOT of problems in Toms River. Enough already. Jennifer Bosco Toms River
Prayers For The Children Growing Up In This World I made a conscious choice years ago to never have ch i ld r e n a s I c ou ld n’t imagine subjecting them to all the pain and suffering that exists in this world. While I’ve never felt more confi rmation in my choice before this year, my heart breaks for the little ones who will grow up seeing such a dehumanizing societ y where smiles are hidden behind masks and terms like “isolation” and “social distance” are the norm. Prayers for all the babies going through this now and whatever is yet to come. Dottie Green Brick

Community:
Continued From Page 1 following all the safety protocols with masks and social distancing inside the building.” LeBoeuf added, “we’ve been having Friday night events. We started two weeks ago so that we could meet the community. We had a family game night and last week we had a magic show. Today is the flea market and next week we will have an outdoor movie and then we will have another family game night event.” Also in the works is a classic rock concert and a country music concert, LeBoeuf added. She was among around 15 people who helped arrange the interior of the church hall with a large variety of donated items for the flea market about 90 minutes prior to the start of the event. They rotated the number of people inside to maintain social distancing. “We will move some of our volunteers outside to make room for customers inside,” she said. “We have been trying to find ways to help the community and one of our team members said why don’t we have a flea market but not really sell anything we’ll just give it away and so we started seeking out gently used donations and it turns out everybody has stuff because it turns out the veterans groups aren’t collecting anymore and a lot of groups that you would normally donate things to are closed,” she said. She added that the church wanted to
The Manchester Times, August 15, 2020, Page 9 wait for a safer time to do that and they are encouraging people to wash things as they take them home because they weren’t from their house originally. While the church hasn’t officially opened it plans to do so, pandemic permitting, on Sept. 6. “We may start with an online service and see how it goes but if possible we may start with 100 people in the building if that is permitted at the time. Right now we aren’t making a defi nitive plan until we hear more from the governor. “Things change very rapidly. We are doing what we can,” LeBoeuf said. Pastor Nick Daleo, Lead Pastor of Proving Ground Church said in the spring that he “had planned to reach out to community leaders and groups beforehand so that we could learn what the needs of the community are and be better able to come along side and serve them.” The church is an extension of Bayside Chapel, located in Barnegat. The Bayside Chapel purchased the church facility located on Proving Ground Road, that served as the previous home to the Ocean County Evangelical Free Church. At that time the church was starting renovations to the building when the coronavirus policies went into effect. “My leadership team and I wanted to serve now in such a difficult time.” The pastor noted how challenging the situation has been. “How are we going to reach out to a community that we technically can’t physically reach out to? We feel really strongly that we are still supposed to open these doors so we hope to open
on Labor Day weekend.” “The idea is to reach out to the community and let them know we are here to serve them. This was another one of those ideas and events that we could do and keep social distancing in place and keeping safe,” Pastor Daleo said. He said he was very happy with the turnout of the recent Friday night family events. “We’ve also had the fi re department involved in coming out with fi re trucks and we bought the rights to a Disney movie for next week on a 20-foot screen but we’ll be keeping a social distancing space.” The Friday movie events start around 8 p.m. for gathering and the fi lm usually starts a half hour later. “People set up with

He noted that the two upcoming concerts were also free. “We want to get back to the roots that churches used to be which is to serve the community they are in. If people are in trouble or in need the church becomes the place to go which is what the church was originally designed for. “We meet new families each week and many have said there are churches all over the area but we haven’t seen anyone doing this,” he added.

Continued From Page 1 an ordinance that would have allowed for assisted living residences, continuing care communities, residential medical detoxification centers, and behavioral health care facilities on lots at least two acres in size. The zoning would be amended “west of Center Street and front of Route 70.” The former restaurant/banquet hall could
only accommodate up to 50 inpatients and according to the borough’s website’s Land Use information, “the area of the Borough of Lakehurst west of the railroad tracks is under the jurisdiction of the Pinelands Commission.” This means that anything in that area would have to jump over environmental hurdles in order to be built or expanded. Before an application can be heard by the Land Use Board an application or develop-
ment in that area would require a certificate of filing from the Pinelands Commission. The proposed ordinance in regards to assisted living residence/continuing care communities has not been pursued further. Borough Clerk Maryanne Capasso said the council’s “ordinance committee was working on it but with COVID-19, it has come to a halt. Any applications for that property would be presented to the Land Use Board and as the secretary, I have not received any

Jerry Bove originally refused to comment about rumors of its pending closure at the time but a statement was later issued by both owners that included a bittersweet confirmed that they had closed their doors and thanked the loyalty of its customers and staff, noting many social milestone events had occurred there over the years and that many patrons would have fond memories of the venue.

Beware Of Contact Tracing Scams
By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY − The Federal Trade Commission is warning residents to be wary of scammers pretending to be contact tracers. Ocean County has recently announced that they will begin contact tracing. This is a necessary step in learning how COVID-19 is being spread. Contact tracers talk to people who have been diagnosed positive and then learn who they have been in contact with. Those people are then urged to quarantine until the window of time where they would develop symptoms has passed. However, there are people out there pretending to be a contact tracer who are trying to get access to your personal information and steal money from you, the government warned. The easiest way to tell the difference between a scammer and a legitimate worker is that a real contact tracer will never ask for your personal information. If someone asks for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card number, they are trying to rip you off, the government said. Legitimate messages from the Health Department might, for example, tell you that you will receive a phone call from a specific number. They won’t ask you to click a link. The FTC is urging all residents not to give out any personal information, pay any money, or click on any links. These are scams. For more information on human contact tracing scams and how to protect yourself, visit consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2020/05/covid-19contact-tracing-text-message-scams.

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

By Bob Vosseller LAKEWOOD – The Township Fire Department has been responding to an increased number of Carbon Monoxide alarms during the recent massive power outages caused by Tropical Storm Isaias. The Lakewood Board of Fire Commissioners in conjunction with Fire Chief Mike D’Elia Jr., Fire Prevention Coordinator Jacob Woolf, and the members of the Lakewood Fire Department want to make the community aware of the following dangers associated with Carbon Monoxide: Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause severe illness or death. Carbon Monoxide is found in all fi res, as well as fumes produced by charcoal or gas. It is produced by cars and trucks, small gasoline engines, stoves, lanterns, burning charcoal and wood, and gas rangesand heating systems. CO poisoning can happen any time of year, however, CO poisoning incidents tend to increase during storm-related power outages from either burning charcoal briquettes inside their homes or from improper use of gasoline-powered generators. Preventative measures concerning carbon monoxide poisoning include: 1. Do not burn charcoal or use gasoline generators indoors, including the garage.
Generators, camp stoves, or charcoal grills should always be used outdoors and at least 20 feet away from windows and doors. 2. Never idle a car in a garage, even when the garage door is open. 3. If you use gas or oil appliances, make certain carbon monoxide alarms are installed on every level of your home and outside every sleeping area. Should the CO detector sound, turn off any heating appliance and open windows to get fresh air. Call 911 if you experience CO poisoning symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, or headaches and move to fresh air immediately. If you suspect an appliance is the source, call a qualified technician to fi x the problem before restarting the appliance. Smoke detectors provide early warning of a fi re, allowing extra time to escape, and as a result, substantially reducing the risk of injury and/or death in residential fi re. Smoke detectors should be located outside each separate sleeping area and on every floor of one’s home including the basement. Carbon monoxide detectors should be located outside each separate sleeping area. A few minutes should be spent each and every month to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to make sure they are working properly.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE School Supply Drive Being Held By Hope Center
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER − The Hope Center, sponsored by the Cedar Grove United Methodist Church, is collecting items for a school supply drive. The Center is calling upon residents to help students in need. For some, classroom settings or the kitchen table will still find students without the necessary supplies to have a productive year. Items needed include crayons; pencils, erasers, pens, scissors, glue sticks, and calculators. Also needed are notebooks (three and five subjects), folders, binders, loose-leaf paper (wide and college ruled), and backpacks for all grades. The Center previously assisted with a food and diaper drive and has shown support for families in need.
The School Supply Drive began on Aug. 7, and will end on Aug. 24. The drop off can be made at 1709 Madison Ave., Pine Lake Park. Donors are asked to place their items in the donation bin that will be on the bench on the porch. Social distancing will be observed. All donations will be made on Aug. 25. The Hope Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization initiated by the Clergy Association of Greater Toms River. The group’s mission is to provide support, resources, referrals and food to clients as they work to overcome a current life crisis. It opened in 2008. It consists of a client coordinator and trained volunteers who assist clients in navigating the social service programs within the county to help resolve their issues of housing, utilities and other urgent needs.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE County To Gov: Utilities Should Pay For Spoiled Food
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Ocean County officials aren’t crying over spilt milk but they are calling for Governor Phil Murphy to go after power companies to pay up when it comes to citizen reimbursement for food spoiled during Tropical Storm Isaias. The spoiled food came as a result of lengthy power outages from Isaias which hit the area on August 4. Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said that when power interruptions occur for several days, “we cannot expect our residents, especially our senior citizens to go without some kind of reimbursement for food lost as a result of no electricity.” Vicari who serves as chairman of Senior Services said, “many of our residents had stocked up on food because of the coronavirus pandemic and they are concerned about leaving their home to go to the food stores. Now all the additional money spent on the extra food is basically in the garbage and so many elderly people living on fi xed incomes do not have the money to replace it.” “We need the utility companies to step up and help out,” Vicari noted adding that food only lasts in a closed refrigerator for about four to six hours at best. Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Health Department, addressed the issue with Governor Murphy’s
staff on August 7. Power outages were widespread for several days. Electricity is provided to the majority of County residents through Jersey Central Power & Light Co. and Atlantic City Electric. Public Service Electric & Gas provides power to northern areas of the state. Little added that the hardship to so many of our residents is tremendous. The utility companies are a business and like all businesses they face liabilities. They should be responsible for this. They should provide help in this hardship situation.” Little and Vicari are expected to write a letter to the Governor urging him to seek compensation for customers that lost food. Vicari added that in addition to purchasing greater amounts of food due to limiting going food shopping, consumers have seen an increase in the price paid for food. “We understand how powerful storms can be. But when power outages continue for days, our residents need to know they will get help from the companies they pay monthly for electricity,” Vicari added. Senior Communications Representative Cliff Cole told Jersey Shore Online that “unfortunately, we do not reimburse for food lost or expenses incurred during a weather-related power outage. We suggest inquiring with your insurance company to determine if your policy covers such losses.”

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.

Thyroid Related Cholesterol Problems Don’t Respond To Statins By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The thyroid gland is shaped like a butterfly and it regulates your body temperature, how fast you burn fat and your energy levels. Most people with hypothyroidism do not even know they have the condition because they are not doing the correct labs, or misinterpreting the results. There is a good correlation between the thyroid gland’s functioning and your total levels of cholesterol and LDL. A rule of thumb is that the lower your thyroid hormone, the more lipid (cholesterol and triglyceride) abnormalities you have. Anyone who has been diagnosed with cholesterol (lipid) abnormalities should have a complete thyroid hormone profile conducted. Cholesterol drugs may affect your thyroid gland, and reduce thyroid levels possibly causing or contributing to hypothyroidism! The reason this could happen is through the drug-nutrient depletion effect, what I call the “drug mugging” effect. Statins reduce CoQ10, Vitamin D, and selenium-containing proteins (think glutathione). Statins don’t vacuum cholesterol out of your arteries, they just reduce the amount you produce moving forward. Side effects associated with statin drugs very much mimics the picture of a selenium deficiency. You cannot make adequate thyroid hormone without selenium by the way! So if you take a statin type of medication, I urge you to take high-quality versions of these nutrients, and eat a healthy well-balanced diet. Doing so will mitigate some of the side effects of the statin. Speaking of side effects, muscle problems
are top of the list. Statins are far more likely to cause muscle pain, cramps and skeletal muscle damage if you already have hypothyroidism (diagnosed or not). So you can see why it’s important to have a thyroid profile done at least once a year and more often if you take a statin. If you’re a practitioner, then please always consider your patient’s thyroid status before you prescribe a statin drug, or any lipid-lowering medication. If you’re a patient trying to make sense of this, then ask for a complete thyroid profile. It’s a blood test. Today’s laws actually permit you, the patient, to visit some qualifying labs and get this type of test all done by yourself. The clinical pearl I want to relay today is that taking a statin if you have hypothyroidism could be harmful because there is a situation called thyroid-induced myopathy, and it will be exacerbated by the statins. The reason is because statins are well-known to induce myopathies galore! It’s probably their #1 side effect! Finally, I want to point one thing out. Some of you don’t respond to lipid-lowering medications. There could be a reason and you should know it before you raise your statin dosage over and over. If you’d like to read the longer version of this article, please sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com In closing, if you find yourself resistant to statins (meaning your cholesterol ratios remain high during statin therapy), it could be due to you having hypothyroidism and dyslipidemia related to low thyroid will not respond well to statins, no matter how high the dose.

August Is National Immunization Awareness Month
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Are you and your family up to date with critical vaccines? The COVID-19 pandemic is a strong reminder of the importance of vacations according to the Ocean County Health Dept. This month is National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) and this annual observance highlights the importance of
getting recommended vaccines throughout your life. The OCHD wants to remind everyone that they have the power to protect yourself and your family against serious diseases such as whooping cough, cancers caused by HPV, measles and pneumonia through on-time vaccination. During NIAM, the OCHD encourages you talk to your doctor, nurse, or other health-
care professional to ensure you have the best protection and your loved ones are up to date on vaccines that may save your life. OCHD Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer Daniel Regenye said, “as your children head back to school this fall, it’s important to protect children against serious vaccine-preventable diseases.” He added that since the COVID-19
pandemic started, “the overall number of well-child office visits was down about 50% and manufacturers reported a decline in vaccine orders. We need to get those numbers back up. We’ve come a long way since the early days of the pandemic and now most practices are up-to-speed with all the necessary COVID-19 protocols to ensure patient safety.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have reported that among children born between 1994-2018, vaccination will prevent an estimated 419 million illnesses, 26.8 million hospitalizations, and 936,000 deaths over their lifetimes. While most US parents are confident in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, misinformation has put some communities at risk, resulting in decreased vaccination coverage rates, followed by outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Regenye explained that vaccines do not work unless they are used. In 2019, more than 1,200 cases of measles were confirmed in 31 states. From April 2018 to January 2019, 33 measles cases were reported in Ocean County. The OCHD has stressedvigilance about preventing measles, which is highly contagious and can be deadly. Up to 9 out of 10 people who lack immunity and are exposed to measles will become infected. In the U.S., about one in five who get measles will be hospitalized, and up to three out of every 1,000 people with measles will die, even with the best care. Regenye added that “we are also heading into a new influenza season which will pose more challenges for the Public Health community – especially with a COVID-19 vaccination still many months away.” “For the upcoming flu season, vaccination will be paramount to reduce the impact of respiratory illnesses in the population and resulting burdens on the healthcare system during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Patricia High, OCHD Assistant Public Health Coordinator said. She added that “without a COVID-19 cure or vaccine, the flu shot becomes more important than ever. Stressing your immune system after a serious bout with the flu may leave you more vulnerable for the COVID-19 virus.” The Ocean County Health Department is currently putting together plans, protocols and a schedule for the 2020-2021 Flu Clinic Program and will be made available on our website - ochd.org - in the coming weeks. The vaccine requirements for school students, including recommendations for adults, can be located at the CDC website cdc.gov/vaccines/. A general COVID-19 information call hot line is being provided by the OCHD for residents and clinicians to answer questions regarding the coronavirus. That number is 732-341-9700 ext. 7411. The NJDOH (NJPIES) hotline is available for questions 24/7 at 1-800-222-1222 or by dialing 2-1-1. For other related sources; for medical COVID-19 questions call 1-800962-1253 or text NJCOVID to 898-211 to receive alerts.

Freeholders Want Voters To Have Choices In How They Cast Ballot
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Voters in the county shouldn’t have any limitations placed upon them when it comes to casting their vote in November, according to county officials. This year features a presidential election on the ballot which makes Election Day even more important. Ocean County Freeholder Gary Quinn said that not everyone wants to vote by mail as they did during the July primary. This year’s primary was pushed back a month due to the pandemic. Quinn, who is the liaison to the Ocean County Clerk’s Office said, “we should be able to provide our voters with a choice and not decide for them how they want to cast a ballot in November.” Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive orders requiring residents to stay at home have been lifted and some gathering numbers have increased. Ocean County officials have promoted the idea of opening up more polling places and allowing for in-person voting be allowed. “Our citizens should not be told how to cast a ballot. When the state starts doing that we begin to chip away at the democratic process,” Quinn added. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders passed a resolution on Aug. 5 calling on the governor to allow for the use of in-person voting machines, in conjunction with voluntary mail-in balloting, in the Nov. 3, 2020 General Election. Ocean County Clerk Scott Colabella said, “even though the main way to vote in this
year’s Primary Election was by mail-in ballot as ordered by the Governor’s Executive Order, over 188,000 voters statewide still went to the limited number of polling places to cast their ballot. In Ocean County, that number was more than 12,000 voters.” He added however that “when they got to the polling place they could not cast their vote on a machine as they have traditionally done but had to fill out a provisional ballot.” “When you have that amount of voters wanting to vote at the polls, like they would normally do, they should be given the opportunity to cast their ballot in a voting booth as they have always done. Governor Murphy needs to hear this,” Colabella said. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said the mail-in voting has a potential for fraud and comes with a much greater expense and takes far more time. Vicari added, “the Ocean County Clerk’s Office and the Ocean County Board of Elections sent out almost 1 million pieces of information leading up to the Primary Election in June. That is a staggering number.” “It resulted in overtime, printing expenses, and drawing from the staff of all County Government departments to get the information out and then to review it when it was returned,” Vicari added. The resolution by the Freeholders states the practice of predominantly using mail-in ballots for all registered voters caused concern for voter fraud, voter disenfranchisement, postal delivery delays, significant increase in election costs and reliance on a flawed (Voters - See Page 26)

Continued From Page 24 statewide voter/DMV computer registration data base all resulted in significant delays in the counting of ballots. Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as the liaison to the Ocean County Board of Election said, “we have heard from many of our voters that they want to wait until Election Day to cast their ballot electronically, in-person, for the candidate of their choice as they have always done. This allows them to fully assess the latest information available.” “It’s all about choice. Choice of the candidate, and the choice of how to vote for them,” she added noting that the County was in no way minimizing the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and all polling

places would have the appropriate safeguards in place to make sure voting was safe for voters and poll workers. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, state law permitted voting by mail for any reason, allowing any voter, even remotely concerned about in-person voting the option to request a mail-in ballot thus enhancing voter choice, according to the resolution. Quinn added, “voting is a right and a privilege in America. We want to keep it that way in Ocean County and the State should not be telling the voter how they can cast a ballot. That is not how we do things.” “If we can shop at big box stores, wait on long lines for the DMV, buy groceries at ShopRite, or attend mass demonstrations, surely we can vote at the polls in a voting booth as we have always done,” Quinn said.
OCEAN COUNTY – A Black Lives Matter rally called March on the Boards will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. Aug. 15 on the boardwalk of Seaside Park.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 15 - aug 21 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Think before you act. It may be easier to impress people with your words and ideas as this week begins. However, someone may trigger your defense mechanisms and cause you to lose your cool. Stay centered. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Personal beliefs don’t always find a welcome audience, so temper your passion with some sensitivity. A partner may be on edge and become defensive in the week ahead, so be diplomatic rather than provocative. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make your most important decisions and hold your most important discussions early in the week while you are more attentive to details. A partner or loved one may be delighted to compromise and cooperate. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There’s a karmic component to judgment: When you judge not, you face less judgment yourself. Focus on keeping yourself at the top of your game and on making your financial future brighter. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Learning to be mindful can help you break unconscious bad habits. Once you observe the things that make you react automatically, you may be able to switch to more productive responses. Find ways to make improvements in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might seem more caring and intelligent when you ask pertinent questions. People love to know that someone is interested in their thoughts and activities. As this week unfolds, you may develop successful strategies. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It may require a
great deal of tact and diplomacy to deal with some people in the upcoming week. You should learn to be a neutral party in any ongoing dispute and find the center of things to strike the perfect balance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your mind may be seriously busy in the week ahead. Some of your ideas may be visionary, so try not to resent anyone who isn’t on board yet. Don’t let a minor workplace rift boil over and affect your performance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Think about the future before you start spending money. This is one of those weeks when you might be tempted to buy something just to show you can. Ask for advice from mentors and you should receive reliable guidance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your eyes on your long-term goals and your feet on the ground, moving forward toward those goals step by step. Don’t lose focus by getting embroiled in disputes or misunderstandings that might not concern you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A partner may have the wisdom and vision that uplifts your spirits and brightens your day. Put useful ideas into motion early in the week and help make your joint resources thrive. The key to success is good communication. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Handle your home like a well-run business. Divvy up the tasks between family members this week and your place can run more smoothly. You and a partner will be on the same wavelength about finances.
