Council Bans Airbnb-Type Rentals

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Township officials unanimously approved an ordinance aimed at home leasing such as those provided by Airbnb. The ordinance came late last month a few days after police raided a “mansion party” at a Whispering Hills residence that had been leased on Airbnb. The party drew a crowd of over 700 people. The Council wanted to end the practice of such short-term rentals and the measure was passed after its public hearing. The ordinance bans short-term rentals, including services like Airbnb and institutes a 30-day minimum on rentals. Vice Council President Andrew Kern, who chaired the meeting that evening said, “Once again this council is demonstrating our commitment to sustaining and improving the rural quality of life and open space that our residents love and enjoy.” “We must all do everything in our power to safeguard our residents against those whose only goal is to profit off of our wonderful township,” Kern said. Mayor Michal Reina commented on the passage of the ordinance saying, “Council, thank you for acting swiftly regarding the Airbnb. It is a public safety issue. It always has been and always will be. All our residents matter. “It doesn’t matter what neighborhood you are in, we are going to look into anything that is not going well,” the mayor added. Council President Alex Sauickie noted during the July 28 council meeting that the Whispering Hills party brought Jackson unwelcome attention when the incident became known around the country. “Once again, Jackson was painted in a negative spotlight by residents who don’t live in our town.” The mansion party became a national story in relation to the ongoing pandemic which has seen more than 180,000 cases reported in New Jersey as well as approximately 14,000 deaths attributed to the coronavirus. Yaakov Weiss, 40, had only purchased the Mill Pond Road home a few days before leasing it for the large party on Airbnb. Police and township officials reported the party was advertised on Instagram as a Liberian (Rental - See Page 4)

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 “ever yone 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 that as people.” Dr. Nazir said that “if we stay in and follow the principles that are told to us, we can stop this disease from spreading and so I would describe our job as we are the last defense actually. 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.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS!

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

New and Exciting Procedures Hematoma Ultrasound Guided lumpectomy is less invasive and more comfortable for patients. It’s always been the mission of knowledgeable breast surgeons to know which surgical procedures will make patients more at ease and reassured that their health is in the best hands possible. This is certainly the case when a biopsy or lumpectomy is required. The standard procedure when women need to have a cancerous mass removed, or a lumpectomy, is to place a wire or a dye injected in the breast to direct the surgeon to the tumor. This is called needle localization and it’s done before a lumpectomy to help identify the precise location of a mass or tumor that can not be felt. Until surgery occurs, the needle is left in place, but more typically a wire is inserted in its place and stays there until the patient goes to the operating room a number of hours later. While pre-operative needle/wire localization has been standard for the biopsy or lumpectomy of non-palpable breast cancers it does have drawbacks. The biggest disadvantages are patient discomfort and rates of missing the target. That is needing to reposition the needle if it’s placed incorrectly or it migrates, or drifts, after being placed. A technique I use, when appropriate, is called Hematoma Ultrasound Guided (HUG). This bypasses the need for needle localization for breast cancer lumpectomies and this procedures offers several advantages over needle localizations. HUG is more comfortable, accurate, faster, and easier. In most cases, the diagnosis is of early stage breast cancer is confirmed by a core needle breast biopsy. The core needle breast biopsy usually creates a small cavity at the side of the tumor, which turns into a hematoma, meaning an accumulation of blood in that cavity resulting after the initial core biopsy. In the early 2000’s, researchers began to test the theory, that if there’s a hematoma, then a needle localization procedure may not be needed. This is because the hematoma can be seen on ultrasound so the surgeon can accurately find and excise, or remove, the actual biopsy site of non-palpable breast cancer lesions without having to rely on a needle or wire to show localization. If a hematoma has not already formed after a core needle biopsy, then one can be placed several days before the surgery by injecting the patients owns blood into the breast to target the nonpalpable lesion. This makes scheduling easier and also eliminates the risk of migration that may occur with needle localization. This new procedure is often comfortable for the patient because no needle or wire is left in the breast. It’s technically faster and easier because the ultrasound is used to directly show the location of the hematoma at surgery and to confirm the lesion removal in the operating room by specimen ultrasound. Ultimately, by eliminating the addition procedure for needle localization, HUG can be both more time and cost effective for the patient and the surgeon. In addition, research studies report that HUG is more accurate in localizing and removing non-palpable lesions than needle localization. Where applicable, the HUG procedure is preferable for patient comfort and surgical accuracy. Discuss this with your breast surgeon who is most knowledgeable in this procedure.

Independence Day “mansion par ty,” advertising free food and jungle juice, a twerking contest with a $1,000 grand prize and free admission until 10 p.m. After 10 p.m., admission jumped to $10 per person. Videos that hit social media showed attendees smoking, drinking and dancing and not adhering to any social distancing regulations. Township police had responded to the scene around 8:30 p.m. and the officer on the scene quickly called for back-up. It took officers about five hours to completely disperse those at the party. On Instagram, party organizers reported was actually closer to 1,500 people. Weiss along with the event’s two organizers Patience Guanue, 23, and Alicia Hinneh, 22, of Newark were each issued summons for violating the governor’s executive order limiting gatherings. During the ordinance’s introduction, Round Hill Road resident Lisa Gomez made her opinion clear that she believed Weiss deliberately planned the party as a way to disturb the neighborhood and strongly urged the governing body to take a strong action against Weiss. Officials had confirmed that Airbnb spokesman Samuel Randall had removed the party organizers off the website and deactivated the Mill Pond Road listing. Resident Richard Egan echoed Gomez’s sentiments during the Aug. 11 meeting urging for strong action to be taken and asking Business Administrator Terence Wall for an update on the investigation. Wall said he couldn’t comment on an ongoing investigation but assured Egan that “we are looking at the issue in its entirety. The Jackson Police Dept. are involved with any related law enforcement agencies they would coordinate with.” Egan, a former police officer, said he’d

received some phone calls from people he knew and didn’t know asking him if he had heard an update on the case. “People are really nervous here. This can’t die a silent death. These people have to be brought to some type of justice - not a summons. I urge you to get as much information as you can and pressure law enforcement agencies involved. Thank you for passing the ordinance but with all these social media apps they can look up a party in five minutes” A large gathering was held in nearby Howell Township on Aug. 9 where a township resident hosted a pool party that drew an estimated crowd of 500 people. The owner of the home charged $30 a person to take part in the event and was charged by authorities in violation of the governor’s executive orders pertaining to social distancing. Jackson Police were among eight law enforcement agencies that responded to that incident. Other municipalities such as Lacey have also passed ordinances banning short-term rentals as a way to prevent single-family homes from being turned into small scale hotels. Some critics have said the ordinances may prevent them from earning extra income, especially along the tourism-centric Jersey shore. New Jersey lawmakers passed a bill in 2019 that would have imposed a shortterm rental tax. When Gov. Phil Murphy signed the bill, he removed the tax for person-to-person rentals but left it in place for online marketplaces, like Airbnb. “Everyone who walks around refusing to wear a mask or who hosts a house party or overstuffs a boat directly contributes to these increases (in coronavirus cases),” Gov. Murphy said during his Aug. 1 news conference when asked about the Jackson party. “This has to stop. This has to stop now,” Murphy said adding that house parties were a breeding ground for the virus.

Continued From Page 1 never know what they are going to go into. The dangers are the ones we don’t see like a live wire in a tree,” Reina added. The mayor noted some people had some comments about his joining the governor on the tour in Jackson. Reina has been critical of some of the decisions and policies made by Murphy regarding the COVID-19 pandemic shut down and gradual reopening of the state. Mayor Reina said, “there is no secret that the governor and I disagree politically over policies but the governor decided to come to Jackson to survey damage along with JCP&L. Could they have done a better job? The governor said ‘yes.’” “They (Jersey Central Power & Light) did what they had to do and they got power back. Unfortunately there were incidents where the situation was so bad that people didn’t get power back until (days later). It looks like we have a very active hurricane season and it is important to be prepared. Be advised and take the necessary precautions because anything can happen.” Reina added. Councilman Steve Chisholm described the sit uation saying residents had a “rough week, myself included” during the storm. “I was told that JCP&L had a lot of out of state workers come in to assist. Thanks to all our first responders for keeping the traffic f lowing and directing things while the lights were out.” Councilman Martin Flemming said the short but intense storm that swept through Jackson caused some degree of interruption. He said fire companies responded to 151 alarms. “While most of those alarms were for wires being down Station 56 and 57 did respond to an involved structure fire in our own town as well as Station 55 going to Lakewood at an involved commercial building.” “Station 55 also responded to assist with another structure fire in Howell. Our First Aid Squad responded to 59 calls on their own. Police assisted with every fire call we had. I’d like to commend all our emergency service organizations for a job well done and to remind everyone that these organizations are largely volunteer and could always use new members,” Flemming added. Council President Andrew Kern also commended emergency response organi-

zations “for working so hard during the storm. I want to thank the administration and the Department of Public Works for all the work crews that have spent many hours to make our roads safe to use.” “Great job to the DPW who worked on clearing the side roads and all the town employees who were dealing with the emergency,” resident Richard Egan said during the public comment session. Flemming also brought up that there has been considerable resident dissatisfaction with their cable and phone services which is provided by Optimum, a company of Altice. He noted interruptions in cable and Wi-Fi services. During the current pandemic that is requiring internet service for some residents to work and students to be taught remotely, it was paramount such service be functional. The township has filed a formal complaint with the company and has set a date to meet regarding the problems, according to the councilman. He said this was done to “get the service we need and deserve. If the solution does not come in a certain period of time we will need to increase the pressure to make it right.” A link has been added to the township’s website at nj-jacksontownship.civicplus. com/ for residents to file complaints about their service and share specifics about their own specific problems. “So far there has only been minimal complaints lodged but I urge residents to go to the website and make your voice heard,” Flemming added. There were no ordinances introduced during the council’s Aug. 11 meeting though a resolution that would have authorized a contract for supplemental snow plowing services between Jackson and A&M Harrision Construction effective Jan. 1, 2021 through Dec. 31, 2022 had been removed from the night’s agenda “for further consideration,” Township Clerk Janice Kisty noted. Among the resolutions approved were the purchase of five 2021 police interceptor SUV vehicles in the amount of $168,338.75 from Beyer Ford for the police department. Also approved was a contract award to Mavron Inc. in the amount of $24,682 for an animal transport conversion package for the department of animal control. Council also authorized the purchase of electronic equipment from Wireless Electronics, Inc. in the amount of $38,164.75 for five police vehicles.

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

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.

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.

Governor: Schools Can Choose In-Person Or Remote Learning

By Chris Lundy and Bob Vosseller TRENTON – While several school districts have given parents the choice of whether to send their children back to school in September, the governor seems to be giving the choice to districts. Gov. Phil Murphy announced on Aug. 12 during one of his daily coronavirus briefings that every school will be allowed to open schools to in-person education in September. There are numerous safety regulations that schools must follow in order

to reopen. If they are not able to do so, they can open virtually as long as they follow educational requirements. “There is no ‘one size fits all’” when it comes to districts in New Jersey, Murphy said. Therefore districts must do what is safest for students. His comments came as parents and teachers across the state voice concerns about live instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. New Jersey school districts are currently finaliz-

ing their individualized reopening plans - most of which include a rotation of students in schedules of in-school learning and remote instruction during the week. The New Jersey Education Association, the union representing most of the state’s teachers and school staff, called on the governor to open all schools in the state by remote-learning only in September. The union originally called on schools to test every teacher and student for coronavirus infection period-

ically. This would have cost millions of dollars for school districts across the state. Previous to the Aug. 12 announcement, the NJEA, joined by two smaller unions that represent administrators, supervisors and principals, announced that they sent Murphy a letter requesting he mandate remote-only learning to start the 2020-21 school year. That letter states that for several months state educators and administrators “have been working tirelessly to find a way to safely bring students back into school buildings in September. Now, with less than a month remaining before schools are scheduled to reopen, it is time to reluctantly acknowledge that goal is simply not achievable.” Union officials maintain that reopening under the current conditions presents, “too great a risk to the health of students and schools staff,” the letter went on to say, adding that the state’s nearly 600 school districts should not be left to their own devices to decide on individual reopening plans. The NJEA letter also states, “the facts are not in our favor. Our nation is in the middle of an uncontrolled pandemic. Our state, while doing better than many others, has not yet stopped the spread of this virus, particularly among the same young people who are scheduled to return to school in under four weeks.” “We remain committed to getting back to in-person instruction as soon as it is safe. It is not safe yet,” the letter stated in conclusion. Murphy said on Aug. 12, “The Dept. of Education has put forward strong guidelines that put a premium on the health and safety of students and staff while allowing in person instruction to resume. However we recognize that for some districts there are legitimate and documentable reasons why some of these core health and safety standards cannot be met on day one.” The governor added, “for these districts today we are reaffirming our commitment to have the flexibility to do what is best for their school community.” He added that public and non-public schools must certify to the DOE that they can meet the health and safety standards made to resume in-building instruction. “Districts that can not meet the health and safety standards for safe in-person instruction will begin their school year in an all remote fashion,” Gov. Murphy said. Such school districts must spell out their plans for satisfying these unmet standards and a date that they anticipate being able to meet them to resume in-person instruction. He said the administration has spoken with health experts beyond the state, parents “and countless other stakeholders and not only have spoken to them but we have listened.” “Our focus on protecting students, families and educators has not changed. When our schools open in September they must be able to provide the high quality education to all students that is a hallmark of New Jersey,” the governor added. Gov. Murphy added, “we know the first day of school will not be like any other in our history.” Boards of Education in Monmouth and Ocean counties are set to meet within the next week to complete their reopening plans. At least one local superintendent suggested their district would not reopen at least partially due to negotiations with the NJEA over reopening policies. Several states have already started their school year such as in Georgia where a student was suspended after she posted photos of a hallway in her school which featured students who were not wearing masks and were in a close crowd during a class change. Ironically, while her suspension was eventually lifted, her school had to close due to the spread of the virus. Some schools in other states closed prior to students even arriving after cases were reported among staff. Superintendents in Florida called on their governor, Ron DeSantis, to provide testing kits.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Private School Expands To Help Virtual Learning

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – When Gov. Phil Murphy announced that schools could be 100 percent virtual if they couldn’t safely have children back, some parents were left in a lurch. The Goddard School on Route 70 has expanded its programming to support school-aged students as they tackle virtual learning. Formerly, the school was open to children 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Those children are still coming, but now the school will be welcoming children up to age 13. The teachers at the school are being prepared now to help these children with their virtual education for the School-Age Support program. The goal is to guide children through their school’s online curriculum; then during downtime they would have options like crafts, or learning chess, sign language or Spanish. When it comes to kindergarten, the school won’t have their own curriculum like usual. Instead, they’ll be working closely with the child’s school district.

There will be low teacher-student ratios, small group settings and one-on-one homework support, if needed. Because parents have different schedules, the kids can have different schedules, too. They can be part time, full time, or specific days. “Staff at the school want to create a comfortable and familiar learning environment to keep the classroom setting as normal as possible, while also adhering to robust health and safety guidelines,” a school official said. The school has enhanced cleaning protocols and has changed the drop-off and pick-up procedures. Parents are met at the door by a faculty member during designated times. Temperatures are checked during drop-off and heightened cleanliness practices are also in place. Space for the School-Age Support program at The Goddard School located in Toms River (225 Route 70) is limited. Call 732-363-5530 or email tomsriver2nj@goddardschools.com for information, pricing and availability.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Partygoers Run Risk Of Spreading COVID-19

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer Daniel Regenye said partygoers to the shore area aren’t helping to curb the spread of COVID-19 with their activities. “Wear a mask when in the appropriate situations,” Regenye said. “We’ve had a few recent incidents where large numbers of partygoers at our shore communities were not social distancing or wearing masks and that’s problematic when trying to mitigate the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. We need to do better, we’ve come too far.” Many young adults and teens feel they are immune and it’s only seniors and other high risk individuals who are most vulnerable but recent data released by the OCHD shows that isn’t true at all. • From June 1 to July 31, there was a greater than 430% change in proportion of cases in people 18 years and under in Ocean County. • Cases were as low as 2.8% in that age bracket and rose to 15.19% from May 31 to July 29, 2020. • Cases in adults aged 19-44 increased from 33.51% to 46.27% in the same time frame. • The good news is that the data revealed a decrease from 30.83% to 19.10% for adults between the age of 45 and 64. Seniors 65 and older dropped from 32.73% of all confirmed cases back on May 31 to 19.19% on July 27. • Morbidity and mortality have both dropped significantly over the last 2 months for ages 45-64 (25%) and 65+ (75%). • The median age of confirmed COVID-19 cases decreased from 54.8 years for the first 3 months of the pandemic to 34 years over the last 8 weeks. Patricia High, OCHD Assistant Public Health Coordinator said, “the data clearly shows that we have a segment of the population that isn’t trending the way it needs to be at this point. This disease does not discriminate.”

She added, “without a vaccine or cure, the only way to stop the transmission of the COVID-19 virus is by social distancing, wearing masks and contact tracing. We need to get the young people to understand this pandemic is not over and going to parties, large gatherings and even some bars is putting too many people at risk and not the responsible thing to do.” “Even if they don’t get sick there’s always the chance of a person bringing it home to their grandparents, other high risk individuals and the community,” High said. The agency is also reminding individuals that it needs their assistance and cooperation should one of the department’s contact tracers follow up with a call asking questions that can help provide valuable information in identifying potential cases that can lead to mitigating the spread of COVID-19. All calls and information are always confidential and Regenye went on to stress that it’s important for partygoers to take these mandates and messages seriously. “We cannot have these types of parties and gatherings in Ocean County if we expect to reduce the number of COVID-19 cases. It’s that simple,” he said. For additional information on coronavirus transmission or contact tracing please visit ochd.org. The OCHD is also providing a general COVID-19 Information Call Hot Line for residents and clinicians to answer questions regarding the coronavirus. The number is 732341-9700 ext. 7411. The NJDOH (NJPIES) hotline is available for questions around the clock at 1-800-222-1222 or by dialing 2-1-1. Other related sources; for medical COVID-19 questions call 1-800-9621253 (24/7) or Text NJCOVID to 898-211 to receive alerts.

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 . T h i s b e n ef it protects employees f rom collect ions law suits when the e m ploye e obt a i n s m e d ic a l t r e a t m e nt t h a t h a s b e e n wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Ser vices, Inc. v. K ramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from f iling an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. 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. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. (732) 505-1212.

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. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566 (800603-CARE (2273). “Home health care with feeling. (“Home Health Care with Feeling”)

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 732-8183610 or visit us at www.Gardenstatehearing. com. Our offices are in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting.

His oﬃces are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staﬀ gives Retirement Community Talks!

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.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Surge In Child Abuse Cases Anticipated

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A group that works with children of abuse are expecting to see a rise in cases throughout the county and the state when schools finally reopen. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Ocean County is part of a statewide network of community-based, non-profit programs that recruit, screen, train and supervise volunteers to “Speak Up for a Child” removed from home due to abuse or neglect. “The number of child abuse cases in our region has decreased significantly since March as children have not been in school and around important individuals in their lives who are mandatory reporters,” said Ariane Yazdan, Executive Director of CASA of Ocean County. “The residual effects from this pandemic within the foster care world will be with us for years to come.” Sharing data from the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (formerly DYFS), domestic violence reports in New Jersey dropped 38 percent – from 7,357 to 4,498 – at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April compared to the same months last year. Similarly, domestic

violence arrests were down by 21 percent. Schools were supposed to reopen in September but Gov. Phil Murphy has given them the ability to be 100 percent remote. For schools that will have in-person instruction, Yazdan and CASA of Ocean County volunteers are expecting to see a spike in reporting child abuse. For the school districts that will go to 100 percent virtual instruction, some abuse cases will continue to go unfound. “CASAs are the eyes and ears within our family court system, and provide our judges with independent and objective information about abused and neglected children. It’s a matter of time before we see what the true domestic violence numbers are, and then how that relates to children and youth in the home,” Yazdan said. “Thankfully, our staff is still here, still working hard with our dedicated CASA volunteers to make sure the important work is getting done for those already in care. We are prepared for what is to come as we fully anticipate a flood of more foster children into the system.” For more information about the group or how to volunteer, visit CasaOfOceanCounty. org.

Omarrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more work than you anticipated. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you remain logical rather than sentimental, lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing situations should be easier to handle in the week to come. A small misunderstanding can evaporate quickly if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
