Cruising For A Cause In Lacey
By Bob Vosseller LACEY – The Surf Corvette Club and Biagio’s Trattoria teamed up for a benefit recently to benefit the Lacey Food Bank. The parking lot of the Lanoka Harbor restaurant was filled with a variety of sports cars and other classic vehicles. The event featured pizza, burgers, and hot dogs for purchase while trophies were awarded for various categories. The event was limited to the first 50 cars and Lacey Food Bank volunteer Laura Spina was present to accept the monetary donations made during the event as well as the non-perishable food donations.

September 11 Ceremonies Will Be Different This Year 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

By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – Some red a nd wh ite wa s added to all that blue water in the Barnegat Bay during Labor Day weekend with a massive flotilla of pleasure boats that set sail at the Jersey shore in support of law enforcement, veterans and President Donald J. Trump. The seafaring spectacle was organized by Chris Molla, 42, of Manahawkin who said during its planning that he expected it to be epic and he was not disappointed. A fleet of around 2,000 to 2,500 boats launched following a prayer and the National Anthem. The boats were adorned with American flags, Thin Blue Line flags and Trump flags as they traveled up to 10 miles of the Garden State’s water ways from where the Toms River meets the Barnegat Bay. Molla and his wife

provided passage aboard his 10-meter Trojan International boat to several retired and active-duty police officers. “We had a Marine who is now a police officer, an active duty Marine and our theme for the boat this year that my wife wanted to do was Women for Trump so we had eight or nine girls so I got the lucky boat.” The “Women For Trump” f lag f lew on Molla’s boat during the day. “This is really, really big,” Stafford Township Councilman George Wi l l ia m s s a id . He helped Molla with many aspects of the parade. Following its start boaters cr uised off nor th or south and their respective fleets grew in number along the way by hundreds of boats that joined in from arteries up and down the Jersey shore.

Surf Corvette Club noted that the event featured, “beautiful weather for our Cruise for a Cause - and so many beautiful cars.” Lacey Food Bank Coordinator Laura Caroccia said the event was filled with family fun. Giving back to the community was the hallmark of the event. “Who didn’t want a Corvette growing up? I know I did and with Mother Nature cooperating, the weather was picture perfect for a family day outing to see, touch and chat with the owners of some of the beautiful and classic cars that make up the membership of the Surf Corvette Club,” Caroccia said. She added that visitors to the event were asked to bring a non-perishable food donation or a small monetary donation that would go toward replenishing the food stocks at the Lacey Food Bank. “And bring they did,” Caroccia said. Spina remarked that “not only was the day bright and beautiful, but the enthusiasm and support of the Surf Corvette Club members and Biagio’s Trattoria set the stage early for a day of generosity and camaraderie from everyone who attended.” Spina added, “when the day was done I had an overflowing trunkful of non-perishables and more than $350 that will go toward providing some extras for our families as we head into the fall season.” Caroccia said, “we can’t thank you enough Nancy Conway and all the members of the Surf Corvette Club and Biagio’s Trattoria for your continued support of Lacey Food Bank.” The Lacey Food Bank has also been involved in helping students return to what will be a very unique start to the school year. The Lacey Food Bank Kids group volunteers conducted a program in a slightly different way. “The current health situation forced us to put on our thinking caps and try to figure out a way to get basic supplies to our LFBKids in grades kindergarten through 8th grades while still keeping to social distancing,” Caroccia said.

If so, he expects that next year’s ceremonies will go on as usual. Next year will be the 20th anniversary. Ocean County held a Day of Remembrance and wreath-laying ceremony on the morning of September 11. It included a moment of silence to remember those lost. “While life has moved forward since that tragic day, we would be remiss if we didn’t take time to remember the events of September 11, 2001,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who served as master of ceremonies. “So many of us stood frozen in time on that day, gathered around televisions and radios as we listened in horror that our great Country was under attack.” Vicari was joined by Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer in placing a wreath at the
She said instead of the usual separate distribution that is normally held for this purpose, “we loaded up the wagons and positioned ourselves and our supplies right smack in the middle of the regular August food distribution - outside, under the hot August sun.” Caroccia added, “for many of our parents, the added expense of buying Back to School supplies can be overwhelming. Even the most basic of school supply shopping can run upwards of $50 a child. The LFB Kids volunteers make every effort to help defray these costs by providing our client children in grades K-8 with supplies they will need as school begins.” She added that children received the basic school supplies of pencil cases, pencils, notebook, crayons, markers, rulers, erasers, sharpeners, glue sticks, child scissors and other items. Acknowledging the current health advisory, the LFBKids volunteers thanked Holly Dress Me Up, which also purchased child themed protective face masks which are not normally back to school items. “We sadly acknowledge that the times we are in are far from normal and our thanks and appreciation goes out to the community organizations, businesses and private citizens whose generosity made this Back to School event possible and who helped us provide our LFBKids the resources to start smart,” Caroccia said. She noted that the volunteers sorted, carried and packed the supplies during one of the hottest days in August. Caroccia also thanked Rosa Steitz and Debbie Candeletti who stood outside with her as the temperature rose “and seemed to melt the asphalt as we distributed supplies and back to school snacks to our families.” The Surf Corvette club is hosting another “Cruise For A Cause” event at Biagio’s Trattoria from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on September 20. This event will benefit the Toms River Field of Dreams and is also limited to the first 50 cars. The club was established in 1963 and hosts many car show cruise events that benefit local causes. It is based in Toms River and is a social club for anyone owning or wanting to own a Corvette.
Sept. 11 Monument in the courtyard between 119 and 129 Hooper Avenues. A second wreath was placed at the War on Terror Monument located just a few feet away. The public was invited, and were told to wear masks. Ocean County has a high concentration of veterans. Many of them are seniors and 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.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Congressman Presses Treasury Secretary To Help Working Families Recover Financially From Pandemic From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. – During a hearing of the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) pressed U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to acknowledge the inequality in the economic recovery from the ongoing coronavirus crisis, and commit to working with Congress to find solutions that can help working families. Congressman Kim began his first set of
questions by asking Secretary Mnuchin a question from a restaurant owner in New Jersey: “what does success mean to you when it comes to this economic recovery?” Congressman Kim followed up by asking Secretary Mnuchin if he agreed with comments by Trump Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow that we are headed towards a “V shaped recovery,” to which Secretary Mnuchin admitted that there are, “many industries and many small businesses who have been destroyed by this.” Congressman Kim further pressed the Secretary on the inequity of the recovery as many low-income workers continue to
struggle to get back to work. He continued, “what concerns me is that if we don’t seriously address it, that we can see this pandemic actually exacerbate this inequality in our nation. We had inequality well before this pandemic, I think you can agree with that. But, what I worry about is that the trajectory we’re on is something that could make America more unequal than it was before the pandemic.” During Congressman Kim’s second line of questions, he pressed Secretary Mnuchin on the issues of housing and health care. Congressman Kim asked if the estimated $110 per person proposed by Senate Republicans would be enough to help renters avoid eviction, and asked the Secretary if it is acceptable that millions have lost health
care coverage during the pandemic. During a hearing in July, Congressman Kim pressed Secretary Mnuchin for a commitment to work with Congress to ensure New Jersey and New Jersey’s municipalities have the help they need to handle the financial impact of the Coronavirus crisis. Congressman Kim is a member of the bipartisan House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, where he serves as one of twelve members of the House tasked with conducting oversight over programs aimed at ending the Coronavirus pandemic and helping address the economic impact it’s having on the American people. Congressman Kim is also a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Committee on Small Business.
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 Mur phy. “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 especially hard for those who relied on these workshops as safe havens where they gain invaluable experience with fair compensation for their

DIABETES AND BLURRY VISION
People with diabetes can experience blurry vision that causes objects to look out of focus. It can be understated or noticeable, can change throughout the day, and can come on slowly or quickly, depending on the cause. Long-term uncontrolled diabetes can lead to high blood sugar levels that gradually damage small blood vessels. As a result of this condition, called “diabetic retinopathy,” vision becomes blurred. With shortterm blurriness in diabetics, fluid can move into and out of the eye due to high blood sugar levels, causing the lens of the eye to swell and impede focusing ability. It is crucial for diabetics to determine whether their blurred vision is due to short- or long-term uncontrolled diabetes. Careful management of your diabetes is the best way to prevent vision loss. If you have diabetes, see your eye doctor for a yearly eye exam with dilation — even if your vision seems fine. Pregnancy may worsen diabetic retinopathy, so if you’re pregnant, your eye doctor may recommend additional eye exams throughout your pregnancy. To schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622.

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 r ules can be found on
the Parks Department’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.

Hunter Dyer, 26, was charged following a July 25 incident where Stafford Township Police responded to the area of Route 72 West and East Bay Avenue for a report of a crash involving three vehicles. An investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Vehicular Homicide Unit, Stafford Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit revealed that a 2012 Hyundai operated by Dyer was traveling eastbound on Route 72 at an extremely high rate of speed. Dyer’s vehicle subsequently made impact with a 2015 Lexus and then struck a 1999 Lincoln; both the Lexus and the Lincoln were traveling westbound on Route 72. The Lincoln subsequently collided with the shoulder guardrail and rotated several times before coming to final rest.
Two passengers from the Lincoln were flown to Jersey Shore University Medical Center with serious but non-life threatening injuries as a result of the collision. Dyer was taken to Southern Ocean County Medical Center where a search warrant was obtained for a draw of his blood. Laboratory results from the blood draw indicated that Dyer had a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of .15 percent. In New Jersey, an operator of a motor vehicle is presumed to be over the legal limit for purposes of alcohol consumption where his/ her BAC is .08 or greater. Dyer surrendered himself on September 3 to Stafford Township Police in the presence of his attorney, and was released on a summons pending a future court appearance. Prosecutor Billhimer acknowledged the work of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Vehicular Homicide Unit, Stafford Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit for their collaborative efforts in connection with this investigation.

Parade:
Continued From Page 1 It wasn’t a completely partisan event however, as Molla said Democrat presidential contender and former Vice President Joe Biden supporting boaters were also welcome to take part in the aquatic adventure. He noted the primary promoting point was to honor police officers and those who served and are serving in the American armed forces. “This isn’t necessarily a Trump parade. It is for law enforcement and our vets and everyone is welcome. You could fly a Biden flag or whatever flag you wanted to, so long as it shows respect for our police officers and our vets. We’ve had people say we love our law enforcement and our vets but I’m not a huge Trump fan, so I said ‘that’s okay, that’s fine, that is not a requirement,’” Molla said. He added, “I don’t like it when people say you are using them (vets and law enforcement) as a shield to have a Trump parade because that is not its purpose. I have family and friends who are cops and this is the least I can do.”
Molla said the boat parade he organized two months ago on Independence Day “was thrown together on a whim. That event began originally when a Black Lives Matter march was scheduled Stafford and he wanted to have an event to “show support for our law enforcement as the same time as their protest.” By advice of some township officials, Molla opted to instead hold his event on a different date which led to the boat parade. “I felt the best way to show our support for our law enforcement and what is going on in the country was to organize a boat parade. I’m an avid boater and many of my friends are. That way we weren’t blocking roads, blocking bridges and we wouldn’t need police security,” he said. Molla started a Facebook page Jersey Shore LEO Support and Vets For Trump “because Trump supports our police so it goes hand in hand. I am a Trump supporter. It went from 250 to 600 to 1,500 boats. We had almost 3,500 by the day of the parade in a matter of three weeks.” He said approximately 1,200 boats showed up about 600 went north under the Mantoloking Bridge and 600 went south. “We picked up boats by Waretown and Forked River and all the areas and then we came up to the LBI bridge and there were 100 boats on the other side of the bridge and 100 people up on the bridge with flags.” “I shed a tear,” Molla said. “My wife said ‘are you crazy?’ and I said ‘yes.’ This is amazing. We have about 400 boats behind us and we have people on the bridge with American flags and Blue Line flags showing their support and love and there was no hate or animosity.” “The parade turned around at Morrison’s Marina in Beach Haven where the parade ended and there was about 250 people there with their houses decorated and these monster head boats honking and again a tear ran down my cheek,” he said. Were it officially verified, that 1,3000 figure could have easily beat the Guinness Book of World Records total of 1,180 vessels as the largest-ever boat parade, held in Malaysia in 2014. Molla said, “unfortunately, they never got back to us but I know we beat it.” Molla noted that other Labor Day weekend boat parades were also taking place including one held in West Palm Beach, Florida. That event ended at Trump’s Mara-Lago resort. He wasn’t sure which parade had drawn the highest number. Boat parades have become a means for Trump supporters to express themselves across the country, including in New York City. “It was awesome,” Eileen Robbins said. She joined her husband, Lakehurst Mayor Harry Robbins. The mayor carried a Trump flag as the couple looked for the best spot to watch the massive parade on the Mathis Bridge in Seaside Heights/Toms River and to cheer on its participants. “It really was spectacular,” Mayor Robbins said. Kari Cordero, her boyfriend Ridge Dunlap and her young son Mark Muller III, traveled from Hanover Pennsylvania for the event in an RV painted with the theme of the (Parade - See Page 16)

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!

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
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.

How To Talk To Your Kids About Breast Cancer A breast diagnosis is overwhelming and frightening, understandably prompting a swirl of emotion and a long list of questions. The worry and uncertainty is real for both the person who has been diagnosed and the family members who love her. In my experience, one of the top tier questions from parents is “How to tell the kids.” It’s a tough and important question, and a cancer diagnosis in a family with children poses many challenges. Helping kids, as well as adult kids, understand the cancer diagnosis and subsequently, cope with the fears and changes that treatment may bring, takes planning and support. Step 1: Find out what they know: That is ask the child, ‘What do you know about cancer?’ Step 2: Give them a warning: Such as, ‘Well, along those lines, I’m afraid that Mom has something to tell you.’ Step 3: Share information: Tell them who her doctors are, what the plans are for surgery and follow up treatments, and what the expectations are for her recovery. Step 4: Respond to their feelings: The patient needs to assure them that it is perfectly normal to feel sad or scared. Over the following months, the patient should continue to validate their concerns for fear and anxiety, surrounding the diagnosis and treatment, and share what has worked for her in coping with it. Step 5: Plan the follow through: The family talks about sharing the information with friends and teachers, and what might be expected while she is away for surgery and follow up treatments. As one patient put it, “Looking back, that was possibly the most difficult, bad news I had to deliver, because of the emotional impact on those I love. But it also taught me the importance of involving family, even young children, in the conversations early. And it also reminded me about how intuitive and resilient children can be.” In addition, The American Cancer Society has several fantastic articles and resource suggestions for helping children cope with a loved ones’ cancer diagnosis. Including: 1. Why tell children that a parent has cancer? 2. How to tell my child that a parent has cancer? 3. How will my child react? 4. What if my child asks if I’m going to die? 5. How can I reassure my child that everything will be fine? 6. What if my child needs extra help? Know that you’re not alone and there are people who are experienced and ready to help you and your family, including your children, in each step of the journey.

American flag. Cordero is a campaign worker for Trump who said their RV was one of many that are traveling “all over the United States and campaigning real hard. We were very excited about it.” “We don’t get out of the area much so being out here supporting the big man and spreading the word was great. We just had the Trump train this past week so it has been real exciting,” Cordero added. The parade passed three major bridges. Those in Mantoloking, Seaside Heights, and Manahawkin. At the culmination of the parade, like the Independence Day event, boats docked in Beach Haven and “we patronized some of our local businesses. We stayed there, hung out and interacted with likeminded people,” Molla said. Watching from the Toms River bridge area venue was Karen Majewski of Toms River who said she enjoyed the parade and came out to watch it with a friend. “I am support-
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.
ive of anything that is good for my country. I don’t think anyone in the opposite party has anyone who represents what America is.” “They want to make it something else and I don’t think there is a lot of people that are going to want that. We don’t want to be a socialist country. Let’s start getting along and get together as one people trying to make a living every day, go to work and have a family.” She said of recent criticism of the president including that of comments attributed to him insulting veterans that “instead of them doing what they are supposed to be doing they spend more time trying to get him out of office instead of passing good legislation. They’ll say no because he suggested it.” Majewski said she enjoyed the idea of a boat parade adding, “how can you not like a boat on the water on a hot summer day?” Molla thanked the strong support the event received from various Republican organizations in Ocean County. He also thanked the Coast Guard, State Police, as well as various local law enforcement agencies who were present to ensure safety.

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.

Health Dept. Wants Indoor Dining To Be Safe
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 Depar tment (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.”

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.” The most common symptoms 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.

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 ďŹ rst half of the upcoming week. As the week unfolds, however, be careful not to give people the wrong impression or become overconďŹ dent 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 ďŹ nances with a partner. Pursuing some of your fantasies might prove disappointing, or hobbies and entertainments could fall at 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 proďŹ table 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 o 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.
