By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – The new owner of the former La Bove Grande restaurant and banquet hall addressed borough officials and residents about their plans to operate a senior health day care facility. Residents previously questioned construction going on at the facility and it was stated that no permits had been issued for the building at the time.
Residents were also curious as to the new owner’s plans when a menorah was observed being carved out on the side of the building. That feature has since been covered up, said Dan Czermak, the chief executive officer of the parent company of Beacon of Life which purchased the property. He assured the mayor, council and residents that (Plans - See Page 4)
September 11 Ceremonies Will Be Different This Year
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY − While the coronavirus has made it difficult to have gatherings of a certain size, veterans are encouraging people to continue to remember the attacks on September 11, 2001 in their own way. Gov. Phil Murphy has issued executive orders limiting the size of indoor and
outdoor events. Some large celebrations, like the July 4th fireworks over the Toms River, had to be cancelled. But even more solemn events have been impacted. John Dorrity, director of Ocean County’s Veteran Service Bureau, said ceremonies can still be held. It depends on the type of ceremony.

“It’s not going to be the type of events we had because of COVID,” he said. People have to maintain safety. Masks have to be worn, social distancing must be in place. No one wants to see a spike in cases - or a spike in deaths. Dorrity said he had COVID-19 in the spring. He didn’t think that September (Ceremonies - See Page 9)
September 12, 2020
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – The township’s court system is somewhat of a model of efficiency for how cour ts best operate during a global pandemic. During a recent council session, officials got a full report on how their court system was operating. Council President Sam Fusaro said in a recent conversation with Township Court Administrator Tracy Barcus “I asked her how court was going b e c au s e t hey h ave so many cases that we don’t want to get backed up too far and I was amazed at what they had done to get not only Manchester on line but some of the county if not most of the county as well.” Barcus spoke about how t he mu n icipal court had been doing since it went essentially virtual due to the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Our municipal court has been up and running since our first virtual court session which was held on May 6. We actually had a double session. We did Lakehurst first in the morning with 15 people and then in the afternoon we also had 15 defendants through Zoom.” The township has a shared services agreement with Lakehurst. She noted that she and
the township’s technical department official Josh Schnoor, the municipal division of Ocean County along with the township’s presiding judge and the assignment judge of Ocean County “were all part of our first virtual court session.” “Needless to say, because of Josh and his IT specialties we have gotten the court up and running and it was a complete success on May 6. The defendants found it very easy to come on. It was very accommodating to them as far as to when they were working. They were allowed to sit in their car on their lunch break,” Barcus said. She said this allowed defendants “to have their day in court so it really went very well. Since then Josh has helped our 31 courts in Ocean County get up and running in some fashion whether it be to help them with the Zoom program or get them connected to the (Ocean County) Jail.” Barcus said Manchester was the first municipal court system in the county to be able to hook up to the Ocean County Jail to allow for testimony for hearings. “We are able to Zoom with them as well on a court session. It has really been a long road but a very successful (Court - See Page 9)

Continued From Page 1 the facility did not have a religious purpose and was a health business directed for care of seniors during the day. Mayor Harry Robbins added that the facility was not a house of worship and that the borough would not be losing a ratable of that size. Czermak answered various questions by residents and was joined by staff members Meghan Sheridan, an occupational therapist and director of clinical services, and Elizabeth Loughlin, who will head the nursing department of the facility. He said that the facility had stucco that looked like a menorah which had been covered up by an outdoor staircase on the second floor. Several long-time residents disagreed with
that, saying that it had not been there before. Czermak said “it wasn’t put up by me. I don’t know who did.” “They were building it. I watched them put it up on stucco,” one resident responded. “Maybe I’m wrong but it doesn’t have any connotation. It is just a motif. It doesn’t mean anything. It is just a design,” Czermak responded. He said his firm has a Beacon of Life facility in Oceanport, Monmouth County. Czermak invited residents and officials to come out for a tour of that facility to get a better idea of what was being planned for their project at the Lakehurst Circle area. “We look to help patients, covered by Medicaid and Medicare programs and allow them to live independently,” he said. Patients would be transported to the facility in the morning and
they would be transported back home in the afternoon. There would be no overnight stays. Resident Bobbi Pratt, a resident of O Street, asked about the potential for increased traffic. Czermak responded that he did not believe the facility would draw a greater amount of traffic to the area. “There would only be parking for the staff here and the vans that are transporting back and forth. It would be very low impact. If there is a need to expand, we are subject to zoning. We would have to go before the Zoning Board for any kind of changes and the parking need would have to be met but right now we don’t foresee that.” Resident Jean Rosetti asked Czermak if the firm had purchased property adjacent from a nearby hotel. His response was that there were no plans to expand parking or acquire any additional land for the proposed facility. “The program is centered around breakfast in the morning, activities, physical therapy, occupational therapy and there is a clinic where we have physicians and practitioners, medication management and social work that helps the residents - or anticipants we call them - deal with things like rent, eviction, family matters,” Czermak said. He also noted a home health program which has the firm’s practitioners and physicians visiting the home or hospital of a client. Sheridan said the facility would also have an in-house physician present each day. “We have many people (patients) of different religions who would come here. We are like any other medical facility in the area but we have a full medical team.” Borough Attorney Ian M. Goldman and other officials talked about how the borough code
needs to be updated. Goldman responded to some residents’ inquiries about how construction was allowed to be done to modify the building without a site plan or the owner going before the planning or zoning board. He said that under the current code it was unclear if it was needed. There was a site plan exemption for plans of this type not requiring a change of size in the building. Mayor Robbins said all work at the facility has currently stopped pending a review by the Department of Community Affairs. Goldman said the site plan exemption has come into question. “It is an outdated ordinance. This project was done with proper permits. The stairway work done to the building was modified by code.” One resident who is also a member of the Planning Board expressed that she wasn’t sure if the project fell under the zoning of businesses for that that section of the borough. “The way I interpret it, it doesn’t fall under that ordinance.” “The project (in June) was being done with the proper permit and work was being overseen by the DCA,” Goldman said. He noted the change of use involved the modification to the staircase which is why the site plan exemption was being sought. “We are waiting for that according to this old ordinance I’m not sure if needs an exemption but regardless they are doing it.” Councilwoman Patricia Hodges noted that the borough does not currently have a zoning board and acknowledged that various codes of involving development in the borough need to be reviewed and updated. “It is a huge project that has slowed down since the pandemic.”

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
75 Years Ago, World War II Came To An End From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. − September 2, 2020, marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and the day Imperial Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. The war that began for the United States with the bloody and unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 ended on September 2, 1945 with unconditional surrender bringing to a close a war that Americans
fought on two fronts where over 400,000 Americans sacrificed their lives for freedom and democracy. What followed on September 3, 1945 was unprecedented in world history - the democratization and rebuilding by America of a former adversary. Japan and Germany - the latter assisted by the Marshall Plan - are today great friends and allies of the United States. The World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. contains a quote most fitting for today. President Truman expressed the profound gratitude of our nation which is as true today as it was when he first uttered the words: “Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in
the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude; America will never forget their sacrifices.” May we never forget that when faced with an attack on our nation, American soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, coast guard and merchant marine - backed by home front workers and supported by spouses, family, and fellow Americans - responded with great courage and perseverance. In like manner, my wife’s father, Donald Hahn, served at sea onboard the heavy cruiser USS Canberra and was a part of the massive effort to subdue the large and highly capable Japanese navy. My dad, Bern Smith, was a combat infantryman who fought in New Guinea and other islands and was deployed to the Philippines for its liberation. He seldom spoke about his experience - it was
too painful even decades later - but my dad often spoke of the incredible bond of friendship forged with his army buddies during battle and the indomitable will to overcome all adversity and prevail. Today, my wife Marie and I remember both our fathers’ lasting legacy of service to country they left to our family. Both served in the Pacific theatre. Both were card-carrying members of the Greatest Generation that saved the world from oppression and tyranny. Both simply said they did their duty. Today, we remember and we honor the exceptional heroism of the Greatest Generation. The passage of time will never diminish the respect and gratitude of Americans for the sacrifice and valor of those who fought to safeguard liberty in World War II on the battlefield and on the home front.
Workshop Programs For People With Disabilities To Reopen Statewide From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON − Governor Phil Murphy, Senate President Steve Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin announced the state will provide CARES Act funding for
the reopening of 26 Sheltered Workshop programs throughout the state. Sheltered Workshop programs provide employment, job, and skills training to people with disabilities. Statewide, there are 26 programs operating 28 sites. All have been closed since early March as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. “This is an important step in our recovery process,” said Governor Murphy. “Sheltered
Workshops provide a positive and valuable service for our developmentally disabled community and their ability to reopen will allow those workers to regain a sense of normalcy.” “This issue is close to my heart. This is crucial funding that will reopen the doors to workshops for individuals with developmental disabilities, providing a safe work environment that cultivates their skills and abilities at a time when it is needed most,” said Senate President Sweeney. “The COVID crisis and shutdown has been es-
pecially hard for those who relied on these workshops as safe havens where they gain invaluable experience with fair compensation for their work. This gives them a sense of purpose and pride as they are engaged in meaningful work. This is one of the best uses of CARES Act funding I can think of.” “As we work to reopen our state and begin our new normal, we must prioritize the needs of our most vulnerable, including those with developmental disabilities,” said Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin.

We’ve really been trying to get these cases adjudicated so there isn’t a backlog,” she said. The court administration will likely continue doing this since social distancing is still the rule. She urged the mayor, Borough Council and residents to examine the court system website. The court schedule is on there and notices are color coded “so they are all aware of where they have to go for their Zoom meetings. We have everything downloaded on the website as well so if they need a form, a public defender application, we have that. It is one stop shopping at the municipal court.” Barcus credited Schnoor saying, “because

11 was being forgotten in the midst of the pandemic. “It is really important that we observe this day,” he said. “We have to make sure it is not forgotten while we are dealing with this (virus).” There is evidence that a vaccine is on its way to the public. If so, he expects that next year’s ceremonies will go on as usual. Next year will be the 20th anniversary. At the time of the interview with Dorrity, the county was still making its plans for a ceremony. Ocean County has a high concentration of veterans. Many of them are seniors and

Defendants will be familiar if God forbid they have to go to another court beyond Manchester or Lakehurst.” “The officers along with Donna Markulic (Township Administrator) and Jim (Gant, Asst. Township Administrator) helping me get all this together so the court has been running successfully since May 6 and will continue to do so even remotely. If we have to go back to remote we can still run the municipal court effectively from home.” It was noted by attorney Martin J. Buckley, whose fi rm represents the township, that there was no uniform process in other counties. “I prosecute in Barnegat Township. Josh and Tracy were a huge help to us in getting up and running. Their leadership really got the rest of the county on board. Because of their work I feel Ocean County is well beyond other counties in this aspect.”

many have pre-existing health conditions. So, having a large gathering in the time of a pandemic might be dangerous. Bill Dondero, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9503 in Bayville said that they are doing a memorial service on that day for members only. It’s a smaller service, without the public. “We show honor to the dead and to the military who are still fighting,” he said. At Berkeley’s Pride Day, there is routinely a Sept. 11 remembrance ceremony and this year was no different. It took place near the bandstand in Veterans Park where the town has a memorial. An I-beam from the Twin Towers is on display near stone markers and tall flagpoles. This is at an outside event where social distancing is possible.

“Sheltered Workshops help people with disabilities grow and thrive personally and professionally. Restarting these programs will reopen doors to opportunity for our disabled community. We must support these initiatives however we can.” The Memorandum of Understanding provides a total of $1,312,500 from the
Coronavirus Relief Fund for reopening sites. Each provider will be able to apply for up to $25,000 for the initial reopening. Those funds will be allocated toward eligible reopening costs, including those for instituting social distancing, intensified cleaning, personal protective equipment, and providing remote opportunities for individuals in these programs. Remaining funds will be used to reimburse providers for additional costs incurred in
the course of ensuring that re-opening is done in a safe manner. Programs will be required to confirm that they have applied for FEMA reimbursements if eligible, and that they are not receiving duplicate benefits. Each program has provided a reopening plan, which is being reviewed by the Department of Labor. The department is offering feedback to ensure the health and safety of the workshop employees, the employers, and the public.

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.

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – After months of closure restaurants have begun serving meals indoors thanks to New Jersey State Executive Order Number 163. The order contains a number of critical restrictions that must be taken seriously and adhered to by patrons if the order has any chance of success. County health officials have noted that many states across the country such as Florida, Arizona, Louisiana, Texas and others learned some hard lessons and were forced to rescind those dine-in orders all due to spikes in COVID-19 cases. Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer Daniel Regenye said, “it’s certainly a letdown for counties and states that couldn’t sustain the positive trends in COVID-19 cases but in most instances it came down to many restaurant owners/managers not enforcing restrictions and patrons not cooperating by following the social distancing mandates.” “Ocean County owners and diners have been looking forward to reopening for some time now but we all have to work together to make this work. No one wants to have to take that step backwards after coming this far,” Regenye said. Regenye said the Ocean County Health Department wants people to know it’s too easy to take a quick step in the wrong direction. The numbers will be monitored very closely in the coming weeks by the NJDOH and public health community so it’s paramount for people not to fall into a sense of complacency and think the pandemic is over and its
business as usual. “So many residents have done their part by social distancing, wearing masks and now with transmission rates consistently less than 1% and positivity rates holding steady, the NJ Department of Health (NJDOH) has the confidence to move forward with these reopening plans,” Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health said. Meanwhile, movie theaters will also reopen their doors. Key restrictions include operating at a 25% capacity or a limit of 150 people per screen or showing. Masks are required to be worn at all times other than to eat a snack or to drink. Gyms and health clubs also reopened and are also permitted to operate at 25% of maximum capacity. Religious services, political activities, receptions, funerals and other social gatherings will have the same maximum capacity to 25% and a 150-person limit - up from 100. Regenye added, “this is good news across the board for all these venues, but keep in mind that in just the last two months more than a dozen states have had to roll back indoor dining and other entertainment due to a significant spike in cases and increase in positivity rates.” “If this new order is to succeed we have to do this safely and responsibly. We need everyone’s cooperation when they are attending these social gatherings by social distancing, wearing masks and understanding that these measures do work. Ocean County residents know how to pull together in tough times – we all witnessed that during Superstorm Sandy,” Regenye said.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore New Hanger To Be Built At Ocean County Airport
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Airport will soon get a new hanger building thanks to a member of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. The Freeholders recently awarded a contract for the construction of the new T-Hangar at the airport located at Route 530 in Berkeley Township. The facility, over time will pay for itself. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said, “whether it is for public safety or to help our economic efforts, the Ocean County Airport serves an important purpose in Ocean County.” Vicari, who serves as liaison to the airport added, “this project will answer a growing need at this facility. In addition, the project will essentially pay for itself through rental, service and operating fees collected by the county from aircraft owners.” The most qualified and lowest of six bids received was Gary Kubiak & Son of Robbinsville for $2.8 million. Gary Kubiak & Son also built an Ocean County-owned T-Hangar building in 1999. The project is set to be completed by the summer of 2021 and construction is scheduled to begin on the hangar in October. The new hangar will consist of a pre-engineered steel building on a concrete foundation, reconstruction of one existing taxi lane, construction of an all new taxi lane, and storm water improvements including an expansion of the existing detention basin. It will be approximately 20,000 square feet and consist of 12 units, as well as feature two large end-units, which may be used as helicopter pods. Vicari said, “this project was designed in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Airport
Layout Plan and the 2012 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the County and the New Jersey Pinelands Commission.” The MOA allows up to 12 T-Hangar sites to be developed on the airfield, all perpendicular to the Crosswind Runway. This will be the fifth T-Hangar site at the Ocean County Airport. “These hangars are very important to the airport. Many visitors to Ocean County own second homes here and are looking for a place to keep their private planes,” Vicari said. Vicari added the airport, located on 420 acres in Berkeley Township about five miles west of Toms River, provides a central location for a host of public safety services and accommodates various aircrafts. Some tenants include the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, the Civil Air Patrol, the Ocean Air Support Squadron and emergency medical transport. “This airpark is an important element of the county’s transportation program and plays a key role in our long term economic development. The Ocean County Airport is a vital part of our future. It is essential the facilities be kept current and at up-to-date standards,” Vicari said. Vicari said much of the airport improvements have been funded by federal and state money, including all pending projects for which funds are encumbered, the airport has seen just under $39 million in total capital improvement funding. Of that funding, $29.4 million was provided through grants from the FAA, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, and other entities. Vicari said, “this new hangar will not result in additional air traffic. It will provide a place for airplanes that are on the waiting list for a hangar spot.”

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore New Hours Scheduled For OCC’s COVID-19 Drive Thru Site
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – The County’s COVID-19 drive thru test site at Ocean County College, will continue to provide testing to County residents but with shorter hours. The facility’s new hours started on September 8 and are 9 a.m. to noon, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The site is now providing tests for both symptomatic and asymptomatic County residents and appointments remain a requirement. “We continue to adjust the schedule to meet the needs of the public and also the staff. The time adjustment provides a better testing environment for the nurses administering the tests at the site,” Ocean
County Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye said. He added, “as we look our overall daily testing numbers, we have decided to cut back the testing by one hour, but we will continue to assess the situation as we move forward.” As of July 6, Ocean County residents who do not show signs of the novel coronavirus have been able to get tested at the OCC drive thru. Regenye said, “we have been providing tests to asymptomatic residents in order to increase testing opportunities in the community. We no longer require a script from a healthcare practitioner at the college drive thru, however appointments are still required.” T he most c om mon sy mpt om s of COVID-19 are fever, fatigue, a dry cough and shortness of breath. Ocean County has also established a process to ensure that people with test results are informed in a timely manner and provided with guidance, consultation and next steps. As of Sept. 3, Ocean County recorded 11, 287 cases of the coronavirus. To date, 8,481 coronavirus tests have been performed at the college testing site. “This site has been the result of a successful partnership with the college, our area hospitals, Sheriff Michael Mastronardy and the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management, the Ocean County Health Department and a host of other collaborators who have come together to make this work for our citizens,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said. He added, “by opening it up to people that are asymptomatic we have increased the number of people that can be tested in the County.” All emergency responders can also access testing at the site. There are other locations and testing sites for asymptomatic people that have opened throughout the state with some located in Ocean County. Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who is liaison to the Ocean County Health Department said, “residents remain in their cars and medical personnel perform a nasal swab at the OCC site. We are working to make this convenient and more importantly safe for the public, the health care providers on site and staff.” Once the test has been performed, it’s anticipated to take about three to five days for results to be returned. Regenye said if residents have any questions, they can call the Health Department at 732-341-9700, Ext. 7411. Proof of residency is required. To schedule an appointment for a test, Ocean County residents can visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Local OďŹƒcials Denounce Gas Tax Increase
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – No new increases in the state gas tax. That is what members of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and several local lawmakers said recently. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said, “enough is enough� following Trenton’s announcement that the state gasoline tax will jump by 9.3 cents on October 1. Vicari added, “this comes just weeks after the Parkway and Turnpike toll increase go into effect. I’ve said time and again that these increases are especially unfair to Ocean County residents, who tend to commute longer distances than residents in other counties without the benefits of mass transit.� In a letter Vicari wrote to Governor Phil Murphy, he demanded that the increase, which was “automatically� triggered by a shortfall in gas tax revenue, be revoked. “The tax increase was the result of the Governor’s stay-at-home order and the decrease in vehicles on the road because of the pandemic. While I understand the reasons behind Gov. Murphy’s actions, the pandemic has already led to record unemployment and business closings. Our residents don’t need the burden of another state tax increase,� Vicari said. The Freeholders unanimously opposed a 23-cent hike in the gas tax in 2016 and again came out against a 2-cent increase in 2018. The Freeholder Director pointed to federal census statistics that show more than 108,000 Ocean County residents commute 30 minutes or more to work. More than 90,000 people travel outside of the county to reach their workplace. More than 82 percent of local commuters use their own private vehicle. Only 2 percent rely of public transportation. Vicari added, “this is a far cry from northern New Jersey counties that are served by numerous buses, trains and light rail lines. The gas tax is unfair to Ocean County residents who have no other choice than to drive to work.� The percentage of county residents that use public transportation is only slightly higher than those employees who walk to work, which is just 1 percent of the total workforce. He also said Ocean County has yet to see any promised benefits from the earlier gas tax increases. “We’ve seen no progress on the widening of Route 9. In fact, the state has made it clear that it has dropped any plans to widen the roadway and instead will simply ‘improve’ some intersections. “Lakewood and northern Toms River Township are among the fastest growing regions in the state yet motorists are forced to use a two-lane highway that has remained basically unchanged for a century,� Vicari said. The impact of the tax increase on the county’s $5 billion tourism industry was also noted by the Freeholder Director. “Our sea-
sonal businesses have already suffered great hardships under the governor’s restrictions on indoor dining.� “Now people are going to have to spend more to reach the Jersey Shore, meaning they will have less money to support our local shops, restaurants and amusement parks,� Vicari said. Vicari’s letter to the governor and legislative leaders calls for “immediate� action to override the automatic gasoline tax increase. “These are not normal times. The tax increase was triggered by events that none of us could have foreseen. Immediate action needs to be taken to cancel this oppressive burden before it impacts our residents,� Vicari’s letter states. Ninth Legislative District Senator Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove also called for the Governor to rescind his administration’s decision to increase the state’s gas tax noting the move would rank New Jersey as having the fourth highest gas tax in the country beginning October 1. “Like many of our constituents, we completely object to the Murphy Administration’s increase in the state’s gas tax, on top of increasing tolls on the Garden State Parkway and Atlantic City Expressway and New Jersey Turnpike. Unquestionably, the Governor needs to reconsider this decision in view of the significant financial hardships it will cause for motorist and businesses who cannot afford to pay more,� the lawmakers said in a joint statement. They added that “Governor Murphy has not refrained, in the least, from using his executive powers during the COVID-19 state of emergency, making unilateral decisions that have had profound impacts on residents and businesses. However, his Administration is arguing that is simply following the law by mandating another increase in the gas tax.� The lawmakers added that, “without hesitation, our delegation broke with former Governor Christie by opposing the original 23-cent-per-gallon tax increase approved in 2016 knowing that our constituency, which primarily relies on the Garden State Parkway due to severe lack of access to mass transit, would be disproportionately impacted.� “We knew that our constituents would see the tax dollars be used for mass transit projects in North Jersey. Worse than the original 23-cent tax increase was a provision in the 2016 law that empowers Trenton to increase the gas tax based on fuel consumption usage,� the lawmakers stated. The lawmakers concluded saying, “this is the provision that the Murphy Administration is using to justify increase the gas tax again. Frankly, the Governor shouldn’t even have the ability to unilaterally raise the tax gas. The 2016 law should never have been signed into law in the first place.�

Virtual Decoy And Gunning Show
TUCKERTON – The 38th Annual Old Time Barnegat Bay Decoy and Gunning Show will be virtual this year due to COVID-19. “This show is normally a two day event at Tip Seaman County Park in Tuckerton and it attracts thousands of people,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, Chairwoman of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. As part of the online alternative to the 2020 show, the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation, on Sept. 27 will post the judging of award presentations for six of the key contests traditionally held as part of the show. Awards will be presented for: • Barnegat Bay Gunning Decoy Contest – Traditional Division • Barnegat Bay Gunning Decoy Contest – Contemporary Division • Delaware River Gunning Decoy Contest • Traditional Shorebird Decoy Contest • Youth Gunning Decoy Contest • Youth Shorebird Decoy Contest The contest rules can be found on the Parks Depar tment’s website: ocean-
countyparks.org. All entries must be registered by 10 a.m., Sept. 19. Judging will take place lakeside at Tip Seaman County Park. The contest venue will be open to judges and contestants registering carvings only. Other awards normally presented at the show will be folded into the 2021 show including the Hurley Conklin Award – the highlight of the award presentation - which is awarded to individuals who have lived their lives in the traditions preserved by the show. Traditionally the festival opens each day with skeet shooting. Competitions in carving, calling, retrieving and boat building fill the day, while music by Pinelands musicians is played at both the park and the nearby Tuckerton Seaport. The show usually attracts about 300 vendors that offer duck calls, sporting artwork, decorative carvings, model boats, guided hunt services, hunting dog supplies, and more. More details are available at OceanCountyParks.org or you can call 609971-3085.

5 Simple Ways To Boost Your Mood In These Crazy Times
Did you know that hearing health and mental health are closely linked? Untreated hearing loss increases our risk of depression, anxiety, social isolation, loneliness, and more. Here are some ways to boost your mood and find the light at the end of the tunnel. EXPRESS GRATITUDE - Gratitude improves happiness, well-being and mental health. The best researched method is keeping a gratitude journal. Once or twice a week, choose one act or person you’re grateful for and write a few sentences detailing why. In daily life, you’ll begin to seek out the positive – rather than the negative- and writing it down allows you to really savor that positive emotion. EXERCISE REGULARLY - Exercise increases endorphins, which relieve stress and boost your mood. You can even try small things that add more activity to your day, like skipping the elevator in favor of the stairs or taking a short, brisk walk. If you work from home, tackle chores that require you to walk to another room or – better yet-another floor. Aim
for 30 minutes a day. SPOIL YOUR SENSES - Use your senses to quickly fi nd calm. For some people, it’s an uplifting song or the smell of ground coffee. For others, its squeezing a stress ball. Each person’s relationship to their senses is a little different, so experiment to figure out what works best for you. LOSE YOURSELF - Doing something you love, something you know you can lose yourself in, allows you to forget about life for a while. You don’t have to be a parent, a spouse, or an employee –you can just be. FIND A FURRY FRIEND - Interacting with a pet lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and raises oxytocin (the feel-good hormone). It also lowers blood pressure and eases loneliness and depression. Don’t have a pet? Walk a friend’s dog, volunteer to cat-sit for a vacationing neighbor or volunteer at a shelter. Dr. Izzy and his Staff are always here to answer your questions about hearing care issues.
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!

Hand Sanitizers: What To Buy And What To Avoid By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
As the country has opened up these past few months, I find myself carrying hand sanitizer with me. Hand sanitizers are a must if you travel because they quickly eliminate 99.9% of germs (at least the ones tested!) and you can carry these in your purse, or pocket, and keep in the car. With the pandemic this year, hand sanitizers became instantly essential. A lot of sanitizers are capable of destroying certain pneumonia and influenza strains, E. coli and MRSA in seconds. There’s a reason sanitizers sell like hotcakes, but please be careful because some opportunistic business folks are now making a killing at your expense. They’re formulating toxic garbage at home, and then selling it online to people. You cannot trust everything available right now. On August 27, the Food and Drug Administration issued a new warning to consumers to make sure that we do not buy or use any hand sanitizers that contain “methanol” or “1-propanol.” Today, I’ll list some of the safest commercial hand sanitizers on the market. Some of them are sprays, others are wipes, and so on. I’ve based my list below on the famous organization called EWG Skin Deep. They have a website by that name too. As to where you can purchase any of these, I’d suggest looking online, or asking your local health food store manager. Here are my favorites: Hero Wipes - These have alcohol and aloe in them, plus more. Each wipe is individually wrapped in a pouch to keep it sterile. They
are pretty resilient if you are vigorous with them. Elyptol Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer These come in wipes, gel and spray, so you can pick. As you may have guessed from its name, the product boasts the use of natural eucalyptus, which reduces risk of contact dermatitis and provides a broad range of ‘kill’ properties. Everyone Peppermint Citrus Hand Sanitizer - There are other scents aside from that one, but this brand offers another option utilizing alcohol (derived from non-GMO sugar cane), with aloe and glycerin so it won’t feel as drying. Organic to Green Lavender Lemon - This contains some alcohol along with glycerin, organic coconut, lavender and lemon peel oil. When I read the natural, but powerful ingredient list, I was jealous I hadn’t thought of this formula myself, lol. Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Hand Sanitizer - Another awesome product and sold widely in health food stores, this brand utilizes the strength of Fair-Trade ethanol along with organic peppermint oil and glycerin. EO Hand Sanitizer Spray or Wipes - This is an easy-to-find brand that is great because it uses alcohol (sourced from non-GMO sugar cane), plus lavender essential oil, Echinacea herb (an antibacterial), and some glycerin. Grove Collaborative Blood Orange Sanitizer - This product utilizes ethanol plus aloe, orange oil, coconut and sunflower seed oil, plus jojoba. This is an awesome combination, and one that will leave your hands feeling nourished. It also comes in lavender.

Monmouth Jeweler From Manchester Charged With Theft
By Bob Vosseller MONMOUTH COUNTY – A Manchester man who owns a Rumson jewelry store was charged with theft after failing to return jewelry totaling over $260,000. The jewelry was left at his store on consignment or for redesign according to Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni.
The prosecutor announced that Anthony Goltsch, the owner of the Golden Goose jewelry store located at 7 West River Road in Rumson, was charged on September 3 with second degree Theft By Failure To Make Required Disposition of Property Received. In the last several months, the Rumson Police Department received complaints
from three customers of the store who reported that they had left pieces of jewelry for either consignment or redesign at the Golden Goose, and Goltsch has failed to pay them any cash proceeds or return the jewelry despite numerous requests by the customers. Members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and Rumson Police
Department uncovered three victims who have failed to receive any payment from Goltsch or a return of the items involved in the theft. The fi rst victim reported that between July and August 2017, she consigned two rings for sale at the Golden Goose with a combined appraisal value of over $180,000. To-date she has not received payment for the rings from Goltsch, and he has failed to return the rings, despite the victim’s numerous requests. A second victim reported that she consigned eight pieces of jewelry to the Golden Goose in March 2019, with a combined appraisal value of approximately $59,000. She has not received payment for the jewelry from Goltsch despite numerous requests made and he has failed to return any of the pieces. The third victim reported that in June 2019, she brought three pieces of jewelry to the Golden Goose to be redesigned. The jewelry had an appraised value of approximately $24,000. As with the other victims, despite numerous requests for the jewelry to be returned, Goltsch has refused to do so. Anyone with information regarding the Golden Goose, please contact Detective Michael Acquaviva of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, Financial Crimes Unit at 732-431-7160, ext. 2233, or Rumson Police Detective Donald Schneider at 732-842-0500. Should Goltsch be convicted of the Theft charge, he will face a sentence of five to 10 years in a New Jersey state prison. Monmouth County Assistant Prosecutor Lawrence Nelsen has been assigned to the case. Goltsch is also on the school board in Manchester Township.

Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.
The questions often arises, “What happens Christopher R. Shea Esq. if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey. Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Family Saves Osprey Nest Downed In Windstorm
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK − An osprey family was reunited after a June 3 windstorm destroyed their nest by snapping its post at the base, throwing all three baby ospreys into the surrounding marshland. On that day, the National Weather Service reported winds of up to 82 mph in central NJ. Brothers Danny and Matthew Dornacker, ages 34 and 29 respectively, grew up about 150 yards from the nest, which was built by their father some 25 years ago. Their parents, Dan Sr. and Cindy, still live in the Seawood Harbor house that has a 360 degree view of the marshland. All three men are Jersey City firefighters. “My mom noticed that the nest blew over, and she called me in a panic,” said Danny from the raised porch of his parent’s home. “She said the stand was down and we had to fix it because there’s probably babies in the nest.” Somewhere between one and three osprey chicks are raised in the nest each year, and Danny said his family takes pride in how their nest has contributed to the overall local osprey population, which has made a remarkable recovery since 1973 when they were listed as endangered by the NJ Division of Fish Game and Wildlife. Due to the effects of DDT and a loss of habitat when trees were cut down for development, their population dropped from some 500 nesting pairs to only 53 in the state. DDT was banned in 1968, and the osprey population began to recover through the efforts of biologists who relocated the eggs and chicks and installed manmade nesting platforms. Now the NJ coastal region has an estimated 700 nesting pairs, and their status has gone from endangered to threatened. Many of the osprey nests are located on Barnegat Bay, 75 percent of which are on man-made structures. After hanging up with his mother, Danny called his brother Matthew, who both live

The nesting platform had detached from the stand, and the men could hear the baby ospreys, who were semi-buried under the debris. “We were afraid the babies would be dead,” Danny said. Matthew said they uncovered the babies and set them down on a mound of the nesting debris, creating a temporary safe place for them until they were ready to reset the

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK − Recent criminal activity in the Maple Leaf Condominium complex resulted in the arrest of 22 individuals for drug possession, alcohol-related offenses, disorderly conduct, firearms, resisting arrest and more by the Brick Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit and the K-9 Unit. Maple Leaf is a 359-condominium complex located in the Herbertsville section of town and is known for a high crime rate. Problems there have been brought to the attention of the township administration since 2009. What causes people in certain areas to turn to drugs and gangs? What, if anything, can members of the community do to stop people from going down this road? Brick Police Officer Sean Flynn is a DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) officer at the elementary schools and also teaches a #NotEvenOnce program at the high schools, which was developed to educate students about the dangers of opiates before they leave for college or enter the workforce. In a recent phone interview, Officer Flynn said oftentimes there is a socio-economic situation which can result in kids using or selling drugs after being enticed by money. “They see gang members with money, with cars and clothes and things they can’t afford,” he said. “Joining a gang gives them a sense of belonging, since some of the kids come from single-parent homes and they’re looking for a role model.” Kids see wealthy celebrities on social media living fast and spending big, but the students learn “just because that looks cool, there’s a back door and bad things are happening,” he said. Officer Flynn said peer pressure from other kids who are using drugs can be another motivating factor for making bad decisions. The officers discuss peer pressure with the students, which can also lead to opioid abuse, alcohol abuse, tobacco use and vaping, which has become part of the lesson plan, he said. Besides socio-economic pressures and peer
pressure, some people abuse drugs because they’re self medicating for depression, loneliness and stress, Officer Flynn said. “In the beginning, they might have a prescription for pain from a doctor, but when they get shut off by the doctor they turn to heroin, which is a cheaper alternative, and more bang for the buck,” he said. Buying illegal opioids on the street costs about $1 a milligram, or around $30 a pill, but for $5 a single use wax fold or “deck” of heroin is much cheaper and much stronger than a pill. A 10-pack, or a “bundle” costs about $50. As a former narcotics detective in Brick, Flynn said he thinks of drug addicts as victims rather than criminals. “Sometimes a person makes one bad choice, and it can be anybody - it’s not the homeless guy living in a box in the alley,” he said. “I want to help these victims, and it’s very rewarding to help children to make smart and sound decisions.” Addiction education is “huge,” Officer Murphy said. “Preventative maintenance is so important. People had no idea what the outcome of prescription drug use would be, and now we’re doing damage control.” Communities can help by supporting the local and federal governments to combat the problem with grants that fund educational programs and seminars, he said. Students bring the knowledge home and educate their parents. Under the guidance of Sergeant Jim Kelly, the Community Policing Division is creating an after-school program for kids. There will be more details forthcoming after restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic have lifted. “We tell the kids, when bad things happen, stand up and do the right thing, make smart and healthy decisions,” Officer Flynn said. “Don’t miss out.” And he urges parents to get involved and watch each other’s backs. “Support the programs, we want parents to be liaisons, take care of each other, don’t think ‘it’s not my kid so it’s not my problem.’”

Six Flags Wild Safari Celebrates Giraffe Baby Boom
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON − Six Flags Wild Safari is enjoying a bit of a baby boom. The baby being a giraffe. The fourth calf in the last year was born in June. The Six Flags Wild Safari’s animal care team noted the birth of a female giraffe, named “Sierra” who recently ventured into the Wilde Plains section of the safari for the first time. She was led by her mother, Muraya, and joined the other young giraffes in this “baby boom” - Phyllis, Embu, and Soda - and encountered 10 different species of African animals, including white bearded gnu (also known as blue wildebeest), eland, and blackbuck. Safari Veterinarian Dr. Ken Keiffer said that Sierra, who was born on June 2, is already more than 200 pounds and will likely grow to be around 1,500 pounds. “She is the latest in an exciting string of giraffe births here at the safari, and we are thrilled that all four calves are being raised by their mothers,” he added. Calves are typically about six feet tall when

they are born. Adult male giraffes can reach 18 feet, making them the tallest mammals in the world. The calves are all reticulated giraffe, also called Somali giraffe, which are native to northeastern Kenya, southern Ethiopia, and Somalia. Dr. Keiffer said “reticulated giraffes have distinctive coat patterns featuring redbrown patches divided by thin white lines. Their spots are unique like a fingerprint, which is how we can tell them apart.” Other facts about reticulated giraffes include: • A group of giraffes is called a “tower”; Giraffes can stand and walk within an hour of their birth - they even sleep and give birth standing; • Giraffes have seven vertebrae in their extremely long necks, which is the same amount of vertebrae humans have in their necks; • Their tongues can be 18 inches long to help reach tree leaves. There are some alarming facts as well. In the wild, giraffes are currently undergoing what is referred to as a “silent extinction event.” Their numbers have decreased by nearly 40 percent in the past 30 years, placing them in the “Vulnerable to Extinction” category as determined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Six Flags Wild Safari is home to a dozen giraffes. The Wild Safari Drive-Thru Adventure takes guests on a self-guided journey through 1,200 exotic animals from six continents from the safety and privacy of their own vehicles. Guests must purchase tickets and make a reservation in advance of their visit using Six Flags’ new online registration system. A new, free audio tour is available to stream online that provides fun facts about 70 different species of animals at the safari. Visitors to the safari can learn more about the animals and their habitats, purchase tickets, make reservations, and stream the audio tour at sixflags.com/safari.

Nest:
Continued From Page 27 stand. “They didn’t look that well,” Matthew said. “They looked sapped and stressed.” Meanwhile, the parents of the nestlings were circling overhead. “The adult ospreys were distressed - they were calling out and acting erratic. You could tell they weren’t comfortable,” Matthew said. The men backed off, hoping the osprey adults would come back. They did come back, and one of them fed fish to their grounded nestlings. About 45 minutes later, the men returned with the building supplies. The adult ospreys were still on the ground, guarding their chicks. When the brothers approached, the parents gave them space. Matthew said they noticed that the young chicks appeared to have rebounded after spending time with their parents and eating the fish. Danny and Matthew re-erected and re-enforced the existing stand, put another post about four feet deep into the ground, and connected the splinted posts with lag screws. The brothers further reinforced the
post with bracing. “We were trying to be efficient, because the babies were in high stress and the parents were watching from the waterline,” Danny said. Once the stand was rebuilt, the men tried to recreate the nest by putting down a layer of burlap and layering it with some of the old nesting material. Danny added some eel grass and framed the nest with sticks. While Danny was up on the ladder, Matthew handed him the nesting material while keeping an eye on the babies on the ground. “The adult ospreys were hovering above, and watched while we carried the babies up to the nest in a makeshift burlap sack that worked great,” Matthew said. Once the babies were back in the nest, the men backed off. When they were about 50 yards away, the adult ospreys returned to the nest, one by one. “It was so great, it was so satisfying,” Matthew said afterwards. “It felt like a blessing.” Danny said the family has a connection to the ospreys and gets a lot of enjoyment from watching them. “I’m glad we could help them in what was potentially a tragic situation,” he said.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 12 - sept 18 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can engage in an acceptable level of self-promotion during the first half of the upcoming week. As the week unfolds, however, be careful not to give people the wrong impression or become overconfident in your abilities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be disappointed if you don’t receive attention and applause from admirers. If you concentrate on doing a good job at work and follow guidelines for your health, you’ll make progress in the week to come. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your business sense is heightened, so you can successfully discuss finances with a partner. Pursuing some of your fantasies might prove disappointing, or hobbies and entertainments could fall flat in the upcoming week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take time to investigate the pros and cons. In the week ahead, try not to start anything unless you are properly prepared. Dig in and do your due diligence if you’re presented with a new opportunity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your best foot forward with whatever you begin and you will enjoy a profitable experience. You can trust your instincts about money in the early part of the week, but be cautious about news and gossip. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Expand your ability to be in charge as the week unfolds. Your reputation may be enhanced by a loyal and loving partner and by your willingness to commit yourself to projects and people for the long haul.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep your eye on the ball and your expectations within the realm of reality. Do your best to clarify your feelings, but be patient if you don’t feel completely understood. If in doubt, ask pertinent questions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Through dedication and persistence you can achieve your most meaningful dreams. Depend on other people for some things, but if those people become unpredictable, it may be time to make your own decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might be at your best when you can speak freely and ad-lib. Keep company with people who welcome your opinions. In the week ahead, guard your savings and avoid making major purchases. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Fortitude can be the best attitude. If your expectations are so high that reality can never live up to them, consider a reboot. In the week to come, you may be easily distracted by things that aren’t as good as they appear. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Enjoy your abundance and don’t feel responsible for someone who asks for a handout. During the upcoming week you can use your street smarts without being callous or heartless. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are motivated to get joint projects off the ground. In the week ahead, someone might press you to spend money on something that appears too good to be true. You should wait before making a decision.
