life support specialists. On a day-to-day basis we take care of patients that are critically ill in the intensive care unit for a variety of things.” He said such patients may have suffered heart at t a ck s, st rokes or things like septic shock or similar severe infections. “We manage that (Doctor - See Page 6)
Monmouth, Ocean Officials Seek Representation On State BPU
By Bob Vosseller O C E A N C OU N TY - Leaders f rom Monmouth and Ocean counties joined forces to petition the state to provide representation from the shore area on the State Board of Public Utilities. Ocean County Free-
holder Director Joseph H. Vicar i and Mon mout h C ou nt y Freeholder Director T homas A. A r none announced that they will work together to get a qualified candidate onto the BPU representing the Jersey shore.
Vicari said, “without a voice on this utility regulatory board we face an uphill battle with the power companies in getting help for residents, whether it be from Tropical Storm Isaias which hit Aug. 4, other coastal storms or failures on the part of
the utility companies.” “As Jer sey shore counties, we pump a great deal of dollars into the economy from tourism revenues,” Vicari added. “Lengthy power outages as we just saw hurt tourism which is an economic engine

By Bob Vosseller MONMOUTH COUNTY – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders provided updates during a recent press conference about several programs aimed to help people dealing with the coronavirus. They spoke of business owners reaching out for the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant program, and also announced the launch of Skill Up Monmouth - an update to the County’s COVID-19 testing program. Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said of CARES: “We have received more than 1,750 applications and handled close to 800 phone calls regarding the program.” Arnone added, “we have approved nearly $1.7 million in grant dollars - and I am really excited to report that the first round of grants are being direct deposited today!” “We said that we wanted to get money into the pockets of our businesses and nonprofit organizations as quickly as possible and I am so proud that we were able to do it in less than eight business days,” Arnone added. For additional information about the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant program, visit monmouthcountycares. com. The Freeholder Director said “not only do we feel that it is important to fund our businesses, but we also feel it is important to do everything that we can to help create a skilled workforce.” “We are really excited to announce Skill Up Monmouth, which is a program aimed to help our County residents to refresh their job skills or learn new ones.,” Arnone said. Arnone added that since the onset of COVID-19 related shutdowns in March, tens of thousands of Monmouth County residents have filed for unemployment. As a result, both the Board of Chosen Freeholders and Workforce Development Board quickly recognized the need for continuing to develop skillsets. “In order to return to return to work during these extraordinary circumstances, jobseekers and candidates will need new and better skills in order to set them apart from other applicants,” (County - See Page 6)

Monmouth County Previals In The Defense Of Lawsuit
By Bob Vosseller FREEHOLD – The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office must indemnify the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office according to a July 28 Supreme Court ruling concerning the defense of a lawsuit by the estate of Tamara Wilson-Seidle. Officials of Monmouth County ex-
pressed that the determination by the Attorney General in the Seidle case had gone too far. In a release they stated, the Attorney General has, over the course of time, attempted to move more cases to the “Administrative” side so they would not have to devote resources to defending the counties for following the state directives.
Effectively, the Attorney General’s Office was shifting the cost of defending matters to the county taxpayers. The children of former Neptune Township police officer Philip Seidle, who murdered his ex-wife in 2015 in broad daylight in Asbury Park, fi led a complaint in 2017. Her children allege that the

Neptune police department had ignored Tamara Wilson-Seidle’s assertions that her husband was violent and failed to discipline him. It was also alleged that Asbury Park police failed to intervene and that her death could have been avoided during a 45-minute showdown with Seidle in June 2015. In that standoff Seidle fi red two shots at his former wife in full view of their 7-year-old daughter. Gramiccioni, while serving as Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor stated a week after the murder that his office would conduct an internal affairs and review regarding the performance of both Asbury Park and Neptune police officers’ response. Officer Seidle held a gun to his own head while talking to responding officers, some of whom he was familiar with. He eventually surrendered to law enforcement and is currently serving a 30-year sentence in State Prison for the murder. Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said, “it’s really simple to me—if the Prosecutor is expected to enforce the laws of the State, then the State should defend them,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. “In Monmouth County, we will always support our law enforcement. Sometimes in order to do what’s right, you have to fight and for this matter alone, I believe we have spent more than $200,000 to defend the Prosecutor,” Arnone added. Previously, the Attorney General’s Office determined that they would not defend the Prosecutor’s Office in its exercise of the law enforcement function. Monmouth county Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said, “this unanimous decision by our highest court should be a welcome relief to anyone in law enforcement. It ensures the AG’s office will have our backs when we carry out our sworn obligations and AG directives. Gramiccioni added, “we and the entire CPANJ are grateful for the Supreme Court’s decision - one that not only properly indemnifies us, but will also save counties and taxpayers money.” County Sheriff Shaun Golden added, “as a leader in law enforcement, I commend the Supreme Court’s decision since its essential that the Attorney General’s Office supports those who enforce the laws in the State of New Jersey.” “Without that support, law enforcement operations may be affected, as there could be apprehension on how to operate, when state law is being followed,” she Sheriff added. The case is now being sent back to the trial court to determine how much the State must reimburse the County for defense costs. “It is my understanding that there are more cases that the Attorney General’s Office should be defending and we will be looking into being reimbursed for all of the taxpayer money spent on those cases as well,” Freeholder Director Arnone said.

House Approves $4M Lyme Disease Research Funding Increase From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. The House of Representatives passed an amendment authored by Rep. Chris Smith (R- 4th) to boost Ly me disease research funding at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just before the end of the July session. “My amendment adds $4 million, for a total of $20 million, for Lyme disease research at the CDC for FY 2021. Just three years ago CDC’s Lyme budget was only $11.7 million,” said Smith, a longtime leader on Lyme as co-chair of the
WASHI NGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker joined all 47 Senate Democrats in calling on U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to provide answers regarding reports of recent changes to long-st anding practices at the United States Postal Service (USPS) that would result in increased delivery times and costs for election mail, and urged him not take any further action that makes it
bipartisan Lyme Disease Caucus in Congress with Rep. Collin Peterson (DM N). “The increase in funding achieved through my amendment will help CDC develop better diagnostic tests for Lyme, expand tick surveillance activities across the US and strengthen the federal government’s overall strategy to combat Lyme.” Rep. Peterson is the lead Democrat cosponsor of the Smith Amendment which has also been cosponsored by Reps. Elise Stefanik (RNY), Antonio Delgado (D-
NY), Max Rose (D-NY), and Raul Grijalva (D-AZ). Smith said the increased funding, which passed July 30 is “good news” for the estimated 800,000+ people in New Jersey who have contracted Lyme over the past 20 years. New Jersey has one of the highest amounts of Lyme cases in the nation. Pat Smith (no relation to Rep. Smith), President of the Lyme Disease Association, a leading nat ion al Ly me a dvo ca cy group founded in 1991 and headquartered in Jackson, said Rep. Smith’s funding amendment is an important step in the fight to reign in Lyme disease. “The rising case numbers and increasing spread of tick-bor ne diseases are alar ming and require a sustained focus from Con-
gress to try to control this epidemic,” said Pat Smith. “We are grateful to Congressman Smith for his continued dedication to this effort and his success along with his colleagues to acquire an additional $4M in funding for Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases. In these difficult times for our country, that is an outstanding accomplishment,” she said. Earlier in July, the House agreed to another Smith Lyme disease amendment to investigate possible origins of modern-day Lyme. The amendment mandating a GAO investigation into possible use of ticks in a Depar tment of Defense bioweapons program could shed more light on the massive increase in modern-day Lyme disease in recent years, and its heavier con-
centration in certain regions in the country. Said Smith, “If the investigation concludes our government’s bioweapons program did not contribute to the proliferation of Lyme, we turn the page. If it did, hopefully this investigation and research will contribute to a cure.” Rep. Smith introduced the House version of the recently enacted law, the TICK Act (Ticks: Identify, Control, Knockout Act - HR 3073), which implements a whole of government approach to combat Lyme disease. “With Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases exploding in the United States - there are an estimated 300,000 to 427,000 new cases each year and 10-20 percent of all patients are suffering from chronic Lyme disease - the federal government needs

harder and more expensive for states and election jurisdictions to mail ballots. Despite numerous reports from across the country of slow delivery, mail left sitting in facilities overnight and challenges delivering absentee ballots on time to election officials, DeJoy has refused to provide Congress with satisfactory answers on his actions he has taken and continues to assert that election officials must pay the First Class
rate for election mail to be prioritized. “Like voting itself, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is vital to our democracy. Since you assumed the role of Post master General, there have been disturbing reports regarding changes at USPS that are causing significant delays in the delivery of mail. Under nor mal ci rcu mst a nces, delayed mail is a major problem – during a pandemic in the middle of a
presidential election, it is catastrophic,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to DeJoy. “Instead of taking steps to increase your agency’s ability to deliver for the American people, you are implementing policy cha nges t hat ma ke mat ters worse, and the Postal Service is reportedly considering changes that would increase costs for states at a time when millions of Americans are relying on voting by mail
to exercise their right to vote.” This letter follows previous requests from the lawmakers af ter DeJoy refused to answer whether reported changes restricting mail delivery came at his direction. DeJoy has since confi rmed changes in delayed mail came at his direction. “We have received reports that in the last several weeks, the Postal Service sent letters to state election

to provide more funding for research, surveillance, treatments and a cure,” he said. Enacted in December as part of the Fiscal Year 2020 omnibus appropriations bill, the Tick Act calls for a national strategy to aggressively fight Lyme disease and authorizes an additional $150 million to increase funding for Lyme research, prevention and treatment programs. Smith said the bill provides $50 million over five years to codify the Regional Centers of Excellence in Vector Borne Disease which have led the scientific response against tick-borne diseases. And the bill authorizes new CDC grants for a total of $100 million over five years, to build a public health infrastructure for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.
officials that indicate that the Postal Ser vice will not automatically treat all election mail as First Class. If any changes are made to longst a nd i ng pract ices of moving election mail just months ahead of the 2020 general election, it will cause further delays to election mail that will disenfranchise voters and put significant financial pressure on election jurisdictions,” the senators continued.

Continued From Page 1 on a day-to-day basis but once the pandemic actually started we saw very quickly that our patients were all transitioned and they only had the coronavirus. “That isn’t to say we weren’t managing other cases as well. We were no longer taking care of patients who had strokes or heart attacks. They weren’t coming to the hospital as much. They were staying at home,” Dr. Nazir said. “We saw our role expand nearly five times in the amount of patients that we were taking care of. We had to expand and hire other physicians to come and help us to take care of them,” the doctor said. He added that he felt there were patients who should have come in for treatment but did not do so out of fear of contracting the virus. He added, “whether they were too afraid or just avoiding any type of health care facility there were definitely patients that should have come in to the hospital to seek treatment that did not.” Dr. Nazir said he and his group operate through shift work “so we do a 100 to 160 hours a month…We have doubled our work load so while most people got to stay at home for their safety and also got to enjoy that family time and be present with and for each other - we unfortunately got less time at home.” When asked how he and his family which includes his wife and children are coping with the pandemic he responded that “everyone in the general public is the front lines. Our families are the front lines. It is our job to try to heed the warnings and pay attention to the science and prevent the disease from spreading. It is our job to do

Continued From Page 1 said Freeholder Pat Impreveduto. Impreveduto serves as the liaison to the Division of Workforce Development. “I am pleased to announce the new program, Skill Up Monmouth, which offers thousands of free career training courses online, exclusively to residents of Monmouth County.” The majority of the courses work on smartphones, so residents can access their account at any time remotely. To begin, residents need to visit sdmonmouthnj.metrixlearning.com or call the Division of Workforce Development at 732-683-8850 ext. 6011. Freeholder Deputy Director Susan M.

From what I have heard from my partners and all the different nurses we work with it definitely took an emotional toll on us.” He said those in the profession have different ways of coping with the stress of the pandemic. For him it was his family. “They helped me more than anything else. My parents, my spouse my children and it was like ‘okay, he works in a hospital it his job and his duty and it will be our duty to support him so he can do that job.’” “Initially it was long hours at work and it was me hiding in the basement because I have two young children. At some point it became a decision where it was the family not just me going to work and then handling this alone,” Dr. Nazir said. He expressed concern that some members of the public “think we are doing better than we really are as far as containing the spread of this disease. I’m afraid that people are suffering from quarantine fatigue. It is easier to stay quarantined in the middle of February and March in New Jersey.” However, with the warmer weather people want to go out. Also, they might have lost their job from the quarantine and are going through difficult times. “There is so much information and it is very hard for people to determine what is accurate information and what is just noise. I am afraid there is a complacency and a quarantine fatigue going on and I am afraid this will contribute to this ongoing pandemic and ongoing spread and will prolong this period,” he said.
free testing program, only 26 tests have come back positive,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley. “These low positivity percentages can be attributed to wearing masks, practicing social distancing and getting tested for the virus.” The testing site locations, dates and hours of operation are posted on the County’s website at visitmonmouth.com. The county Park system got a big thank you from Freeholder Lillian G. Burry for all of their hard work throughout the pandemic. Burry, who is the liaison to the Park System, said “many county departments are responding to the physical needs of residents and doing an exceptional job. The Park System is helping those who are emotionally distressed; those who are in a state of fear, isolation or loneliness and look to the parks for relief.” “We are making sure that our parks our safe, while allowing our residents and visitors to enjoy themselves and find peace and enjoyment in these uncertain times,” she added.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation car rier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note an-
other critical ben- Christopher R. Shea Esq. ef it of the Worker s Compen sat ion Ac t .

This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Ser vices, Inc. v.

The Court reasoned that a medical provider is nor mally not per m it ted to pu rsue collection actions in cour t until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care.

The Story Behind The Name…Howell
By Ann Julian, Howell Heritage and Historical Society Many of our readers know that Howell Township is named after Richard Howell, the third governor of New Jersey. Who is Richard Howell, the man? Was he married? Did he have children? How did he earn a living? Richard Bond Howell was born October 25, 1754 in Newark, Delaware to Ebenezer and Sarah Bond Howell, Quaker farmers. He was one of nine children. His twin brother Lewis, a doctor, and Richard, a lawyer, became outspoken supporters of the American movement for independence. In 1775 Richard Howell was commissioned as a captain in the Colonial Army. He saw military action at Ticonderoga, Boston, Quebec as well as Albany, Brandywine, Germantown and Trenton. He and his brother Lewis were both at the Battle of Monmouth where Lewis contracted and died from the fever. Richard spent the winter of 1778-79 at Valley Forge with General George Washington. Howell’s active support of armed resistance to England hardly agreed with Quaker religious beliefs and during the Revolutionary War, he became Episcopalian. By 1779 Richard had risen to the rank of brigade major but resigned his commission to engage in intelligence work for General Washington. In November, 1779 Richard married Keziah Burr of Mt. Holly. (Keziah was a relative of Aaron Burr.) Together they had Sarah, Richard, William, Franklin, Beulah, and Joseph. (William’s daughter, Varina,
became the second wife of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.) Richard and Keziah eventually moved to Cumberland County. Until 1788 Howell practiced law in Cumberland County when he was appointed Clerk of the New Jersey Supreme Court. Sometime after that appointment he joined the Federalist party which was made up of men close to General Washington and Alexander Hamilton. In 1792 Richard Howell was elected third governor of New Jersey and he held that position until his retirement in 1801. The years in between were not without problems. He was accused of failure to account for monies spent on military preparedness, an investigation at least in part politically motivated. The back and forth barbs continued until after his death on April 28, 1802. Richard Bond Howell was 48 years old when he passed away and he is buried in the Friends Burying Grounds, Trenton.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Don’t Put Off Medical Treatment Because Of COVID-19 Dear Joel, Instead of a question, I have a message that I would like to share with you and your readers. During the height of the pandemic, many doctors’ offices were closed for non-emergent care and routine screenings. We heard about patients who had cancer and life-saving transplant surgeries delayed due to hospitals overcrowded with COVID patients. Now, as the health care system re-opens, we are encouraged to visit our physicians and resume our yearly screening regimes. Thankfully, my husband was one of those people who did just that. As soon as he was able, he visited his urologist and through a series of tests has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Thankfully, it is treatable, and his prognosis is excellent. Had he been fearful of the doctor’s office, the laboratory, even the surgical center where his biopsy was performed, his cancer would have gone undiagnosed and his prognosis could be vastly different. Every step of the way, safety measures were taken, sometimes to the extreme. And while there are no guarantees, we must have faith in the precautions being taken and once again be proactive in ensuring our health and well-being. Answer: First let me wish your husband well as he
proceeds with his treatment and recovery. This is such an important message and I applaud your husband for not allowing the virus to deter him from receiving proper healthcare. Men in general tend to avoid routine exams for one reason or another, and fear of contracting COVID is one more reason, albeit a valid one. As the owner of Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services, I see first- hand the types of precautions health care providers and facilities have put in place to ensure patient safety and renew confidence in the system. Now more than ever, it is imperative that we do everything in our power to stay healthy. Good health is our best defense against COVID. To our readers, if you haven’t already done so, get on the telephone or computer and make all those appointments that were cancelled or delayed, even the ‘unpleasant’ ones. It’s been said that when you have your health, you have everything. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

on a fi xed income or a salary that doesn’t allow extra money to replace food and prescriptions spoiled by power outages.” Arnone and Vicari agreed that coastal counties like Monmouth and Ocean have unique characteristics that the current members of the BPU are not as familiar with as a resident of one of these counties would be. Arnone said, “Monmouth and Ocean counties have everything from farmlands to dense downtowns to beach towns - all of which serve as tourism destinations and so we understand the effects of power outages on a much broader scale than some other counties.” “Our counties heavily rely on tourism revenue, which is directly impacted by power outages. Our restaurants alone account for more than 20 percent of tourism revenue and when there are lengthy power outages, these restaurants are forced to throw away thousands of dollars of food on top of all of the revenue lost from having to keep their doors closed to thousands of visitors,” Arnone added. The population of 600,000 year-round residents in Ocean County swells to 1.2 million people. In Monmouth County, the population of 617,000 sees more than 8.9 million visitors, with the majority during the summer season. Tourism revenues in Ocean County total $5 billion while Monmouth County’s total
is $2.6 billion. Vicari noted the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had with many people now working at home. “These people lost a day or more of work due to the power outage.” Currently, the Board of Public Utilities is made up of representatives from Essex, Camden, Morris, Somerset and Bergen counties. While there is no current opening on the BPU, the Freeholders said they want Monmouth and Ocean to be considered when there is one. Members of the BPU are appointed by the governor and confi rmed by the State Senate to serve six-year staggered terms. “With one voice we can make a difference and place an advocate on the Board of Public Utilities that will represent the interests of the residents of Monmouth and Ocean counties and all shore communities,” Vicari said. Both Freeholders observed that during the height of the recent power outages almost 359,000 Jersey Central Power & Light Company customers in Monmouth and Ocean Counties were without power and in some cases for several days. Ocean County is also serviced by Atlantic City Electric and 52,641 customers in Ocean County were without power after Isaias. Vicari added, “as our populations continue to grow, and people continue to move to Monmouth and Ocean counties to raise a family or retire, the need for representation on the BPU also increases. It’s time for coastal communities to have a say.”

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Do You Have Chronic Fatigue And Breathlessness?
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. We’ve all felt tired at one point or another, but today’s article is about a different kind of exhaustion. Fatigue is sometimes self-limited and temporary. That is unless you’ve ever had a virus. In that case, the fatigue is more persistent, and in some cases disabling. If you’ve ever had a bad cold, the flu, COVID, a tick bite, chickenpox, EBV which causes mononucleosis, flea bites, Bartonella (from a cat scratch), West Nile or any other virus, you could have what’s called Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome or PVFS. Sometimes people with panic attacks or sleep apnea will have issues with the breathing, as will those who have taken chemotherapy. PVFS is a very real and intractable fatigue is associated with it. Some of you reading this have the fatigue that I’m talking about, and don’t even know it. It could be related to hyperventilation, or more aptly termed “overbreathing.” You may have experienced this when you got up to do something, for example, get the mail from the mailbox and you came back breathless and tired. You don’t feel well, yet you’re mentally astute and physically capable and strong. Yet you feel so weak! This overbreathing will induce low levels of carbon dioxide in your blood, termed hypocapnia, which causes the symptoms below. An example you might relate to is that you go to Pilates, and 15 minutes in, you feel short of breath (or breathless), and perhaps slightly dizzy. You might feel a strong, racing heartbeat. Or maybe you try to jog 3 miles like you used to, but you have to stop within a mile due and walk back home breathing very heavily. Sound familiar?
It comes with excessive production of cytokines, peroxynitrites and hydrogen peroxide! This is like a little bomb going off in your body. Potential Symptoms of overbreathing or hyperventilation: • Lightheadedness • Dizziness • Weakness • Confusion or brain fog • Feeling like you cannot catch your breath • Racing or pounding heartbeat • Tingling or numbness in the fingers or toes • Muscle cramps • Excessive yawning Some ideas for treatment, but please ask your personal physician if these are right for you. Make sure you have done a complete cardiovascular evaluation to rule out heart trouble. Because I couldn’t possibly know what is right for each of you, please discuss these ideas with your doctor: 1. Breathe slowly into your mask if you’re wearing one, or cupped hands during these episodes to help raise CO2 levels. 2. Do some diaphragmatic breathing. 3. Consider Catalase supplements once daily, to break down hydrogen peroxide and turn it into oxygen and water intracellularly. 4. Consider NAC, (N-acetylcysteine) 600mg twice daily to support glutathione levels. 5. Consider taking a sublingual ATP supplement which offsets the damage done by the lack of oxygen to your brain. If you’re interested in more solutions and in learning more about this topic, I have a longer, comprehensive version of this article that I will email to you if you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Monmouth County Freeholder Director Calls For Indoor Dining To Resume By Bob Vosseller FREEHOLD – Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone is calling or indoor dining to resume noting that many restaurants throughout the county and state are suffering and that it was time for such operations to reopen. Arnone issued a statement regarding issue recently, “we are now halfway through the summer and restaurants’ doors remain closed for indoor dining. Restaurants had been prepared to welcome back customers inside on July 2, but then that was postponed indefinitely.” “As the Director of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, I am asking the Governor to please reopen restaurants for indoor dining or at least provide a timely plan to address moving towards this goal—one with clear benchmarks to be met,” Arnone said. “II have said many times, restaurants need to be
allowed to open their doors back to their patrons before the summer is over with at least 50% capacity if we want them to survive. I have been in constant communication with our restaurant owners in Monmouth County, who are truly suffering from the loss of income this summer,” he added. “July has been an extremely hot month, which has been great for our beaches, but not for our restaurants,” Arnone added. The Freeholder Director said that many County restaurants have made the best they can out of the pandemic restriction circumstances, creating dining spaces on sidewalks, parking lots and even on streets in some towns. “I commend all of the mayors and municipalities that have worked with their businesses to help them endure. Still, there are too many dining establishments that are not able to open for outdoor dining and they have been forced to remain closed
or rely solely on take-out and delivery sales to get by,” Arnone added. Arnone said it was unfair that the restaurant owners continue in limbo waiting for approval to restart their business with no idea on when that will be made possible. He said, “while I understand the concern for public health, the facts show that restaurants are proving that they are capable of providing a safe environment for their customers. It seems unfair to punish our dining establishments for the irresponsible behavior of those having social gatherings in private homes, which have led to outbreaks.” Since July 15, outdoor dining has been open and “there have been no outbreaks among customers at any of the establishments—not one! This clearly demonstrates that our business community understands the consequences of not adhering to the safety guidelines,” Arnone said.
“They are working diligently and taking every precaution to ensure the safety of their patrons. Having goals and standards will help alleviate at least some of the stress and uncertainty that so many business owners are dealing with right now. We have to give these establishments a chance before it is too late,” Arnone added. Gov. Phil Murphy defended his decision not to reopen indoor dining as had been planned on July 2 saying on June 30, “why would I want restaurants not to be open other than we want to save lives? We want to get there...this isn’t a life sentence.” He hasn’t provided a new reopening date for indoor dining and he received criticism for issuing a blanket order instead of punishing those businesses that allowed large crowds in outdoor spaces.” Awaiting comment from State DOH

Howell Resident Receives Charges For Hosting ‘Pop-Up’ Party
By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – A ‘pop-up’ par ty that d rew bet ween 30 0 -50 0 people to a neighborhood in the township on Aug. 9 led to charging the man responsible for it with violating the gover nor’s executive order which restricts large gatherings.
Ronald W. Chatman, 37, a resident of the Wilson Drive, Ramtown section of the township was charged with violating the executive order and also charged with contempt for allegedly v iol a t i n g a d o m e s t ic v iole n c e r e straining order in an unrelated matter according to municipal court records.
Howel l Pol ice s p oke sm a n Sg t. Ch r ist ia n A nt u nez said cal ls f rom residents star ted around 5 p.m. and police ar rived at the scene around 20 minutes later. Township police were joined by off icers from Wall, Brick, Jackson and Freehold along with Monmouth and
Ocean County Sheriff ’s off icers and State Police. The road leading to Wilson Drive had to be blocked by police to prevent the steady f low of vehicles attempting to attend. Only residents were allowed into the vicinity. Sgt. Antunez said initially that the crowd numbered approximately 300 people but later estimates made put that total to closer to 500 in attendance at the peak of the event. T he pa r t y was adver t ised as a pool par ty with a DJ. Chatman was charging attendees an admission fee of $30, according to police. Most attendees were compliant while others were upset with Chatman. Some paid about $650 for the rental of a cabana near the pool in addition to the entr y fee, according to police who added that most of the party attendees were not from the area. There were also reports of stragglers u r i nati ng on people’s proper t y and vehicles. Gov. Phil Mur phy noted the incident among several that occu r red in the st ate over the weekend, du r i ng h is daily press conference on Aug. 10. “It took eight agencies to break this up. Come on, man. I have been told it was not that large foot print in terms of the yard or the house. This can’t go on,” he said. Mur phy noted the Howell party was similar to numerous documented cases of shore area bars who “may have been tr ying to do the right thing once patrons got in but whose lines were f illed with people, particularly young people who were neither keeping socially distant or wearing masks.” A few weeks ago, nearby Jackson To w n s h i p e x p e r i e n c e d a s i m i l a r situation involving multiple law enforcement agencies coming to a home leased for a party that drew approximately 700 people and resulted in a summons. It prompted Jackson off icials to introduce an ordinance imposing limits on short-term rental properties. That ordinance is expected to be adopted later this month.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 22 - aug 28 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): It may be difficult to sustain your enthusiasm if you take on too many additional responsibilities in the upcoming week. You may be picked to lead the charge but could find that it’s more work than you anticipated. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you remain logical rather than sentimental, life’s ongoing situations should be easier to handle in the week to come. A small misunderstanding can evaporate quickly if you don’t overreact. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Knowledge may broaden your support base. Gather facts and figures that will help you achieve your objectives. Wait until the second half of the week to buy any apparel or tasteful, pretty things for your home. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Pick a lane. You may feel a need to choose one side over another to fit in with your peers as this week unfolds. Focus on interactive projects that improve your environment, and explore inspiring and creative ideas. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Use initiative to attain ambitions. You may be blessed with high energy levels and a fearless attitude toward challenges as this week begins. It may be necessary to implement stringent organizational rules to stay on task. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Use your mental aptitude to quickly address issues. You might absorb information faster than a speeding bullet. Don’t ignore existing obligations as you work toward achieving key goals in the week ahead.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a rain check on social activities and focus on pet projects at home. You or someone close may overreact to imagined slights, but things will be less emotionally charged as the week progresses. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remaining objective makes everything flow more smoothly. It will be easier to communicate with partners this week if you steer clear of emotional issues. While others indulge in frivolous fads, you might choose to spend your money wisely. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have enormous enthusiasm but could lack the experience and know-how to follow through. Be sure your budget includes savings for a rainy day that might occur this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There might be drawbacks to being ambitious. The carrot dangled in front of your nose may turn out to be an incentive that isn’t worth the effort. You may have your opinions held up to scrutiny in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While a loved one or a partner takes the bull by the horns you can sit back and observe. Someone may be glad you did as the week unfolds and your unbiased observations are needed. Focus on being a neutral party. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Imaginative ideas may be bubbling up in your head, enabling you to see limitless possibilities. Write them down before they pop and are lost for good. In the week ahead you may be challenged to handle finances wisely.
