By Bob Vosseller LAK EHURST – Family, friends and fellow oﬃcers of the borough police department recently observed the promotion ceremony of Sergeant Iain James to his new rank of lieutenant. His promotion ceremony was held during the most recent borough council meeting. His oath was administered by Borough

Attorney Ian M. Goldman as his wife and children joined him. “I want to thank you for this opportunity and Chief (Matthew) Kline for his support and leadership and the oﬃcers of the Lakehurst Police and staff for their support,” the new lieutenant said. Chief Kline spoke about James’s promotion saying, “Today was a great day for the

Lakehurst Police Department. The department has not had a Lieutenant position within the ranks since 1999 (21 years).” James began his career in law enforcement as a Special Class 1 Oﬃcer in 2004 with the Lakehurst Police Department. He was hired as a Class 2 Special Police Oﬃcer by the Lakehurst Police Department in September of (Lieutenant - See Page 4)

Officials Still Demand New VA Clinic

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – While local oﬃcials continue to push for a new veterans clinic, there doesn’t seem to be one on the horizon any time soon. The current building, the James J. Howard Outpatient Clinic, opened more than 25 years ago in Brick, but

the veteran population has since outgrown it. The facility services people from all over Ocean County, but also since it’s so close to the northern border, it’s easier for some Monmouth County residents to go there, too. There are two major problems with the Brick location: space

and parking spaces. There’s not enough space inside the building to serve the veterans that need help, and there aren’t enough pa rk i ng spa ces for them all to park either. While plans for the clinic seemed to be progressing, issues with the federal bidding process led the VA to can-

cel a contract to build the clinic. John Dorrity, the director of the Ocean County Veterans Services Bureau, said that the contractor got to the point of breaking g round and quit, so they had to start the whole process over again. As to what actually happened is unclear,

but there are a lot of people pointing fingers, he said. He hasn’t heard any news about the project moving forward since this current rut. Even the location of the future VA is being debated. Toms River wants to move it to a spot off of Hooper

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Township oﬃcials approved several ordinances concerning land purchases and redevelopment plans during its most recent meeting. Those ordinances included the passage of one calling for the purchase of property for open space at 3576 Ridgeway Road and at 3110 on Route 547. Councilman Robert Hudak said that this property was very developable “so it is a good property” to purchase for open space purposes. An ordinance granting a 15-year tax exemption for a self-storage facility project to be constructed by Whiting Storage Urban Renewal was also approved. Council President Sam Fusaro noted that all of the township’s redevelopment sites “were in places where there were either issues of oil being spilled, environmental issues or snakes so to make the property useful and viable again we have offered these incentives.” Responding to a resident’s concerns about losing tax revenue on the property, Fusaro said “we’re losing a lot less than if the property remained undeveloped.” Mayor Kenneth Palmer added, “this project was a PILOT (Payment In Lieu Of Taxes) and the township will actually get more for municipal revenues than it would under the normal tax obligation. When you do this PILOT, the developer doesn’t have to pay a portion of the school tax and the reason why we are open to doing PILOTs for commercial properties is basically because they are not sending kids to the public schools so the amount we would get is more than what we would have if this was a normal tax scenario.” The mayor responded that he couldn’t give an exact figure to what the fi rm was saving in taxes over a 15- to 20-year period but “we are getting more than we would have in a normal tax situation and as Council President Fusaro said if we didn’t develop the property. I believe this property has been vacant for 50 years.” He said he believed there was a small house (Land Sales - See Page 7)

Lieutenant:

Continued From Page 1 2007 and attended the Ocean County Police Academy Special Class #22, where he graduated in June of 2008 with the overall high academic award. He was hired as a full-time police oﬃcer in October of 2008 by the Lakehurst Police Department and was promoted to the rank of sergeant on April 21, 2016. His most recent promotion became official as of September 16. Lieutenant James has been extremely active in the community throughout his career with Lakehurst. He has made community policing one of his strong points throughout his career and has organized and helped run community events such as

Brick has been wanting it to stay in their town, but at a different location. As recently as 2019, they were scouting two spots - behind the Lowe’s Home I mprovement store on Cedar

the annual Bicycle Rodeo, the Christmas Toy Drive, National Night Out and youth recreation sports. The officer has also served as the D.A.R.E. Officer and School Resource Officer at the Lakehurst Elementary School. Lt. James was also a Field Training Officer. As a sergeant, he had a leading role in not only supervising the Field Training program for the Lakehurst Police Department, but also adding information and fi ne tuning the program. James is a lifelong Lakehurst resident and is also an active member of the Lakehurst Volunteer Fire company, which he joined in 2004. Chief Kline said, “I want to congratulate Lieutenant James on his well-deserved promotion and wish him the best of luck

in his new position. Additionally, I want to thank Mayor Harry Robbins and the entire governing body for their continued support and seeing the need to re-establish the rank of Lieutenant within the chain of command.” “Having such a supportive mayor and governing body is such a great feeling. The agency and myself are fortunate to have that. Without the continued support of the entire governing body, this would have not been possible,” Kline said. Kline added, “the entire Lakehurst Police Department would like to congratulate Lt. Iain James on his promotion and wish him a continued safe and healthy career.” Lake Fees Discussed In other borough council business that

night Councilwoman Patricia Hodges said she had been involved in further research concerning an ordinance pertaining to the borough’s lake. During the summer overcrowding by non-residents was noted at the lake and the council had discussed the idea of adding a lake use fee or possibly parking stickers to better control the flow of people in the lake area. Chief Kline said that police had restricted some street use when the lake had reached maximum capacity and was monitoring the situation. “I will be submitting a very rough draft for everyone to look at, Hodges said noting it would be reviewed first by Goldman. She also noted that various local use sections of the borough code book were also being reviewed for updates.

Bridge Avenue, and a wooded triangle-shaped piece of property located between Burrsville Road, Jack Martin Boulevard and Route 88 On a regular basis, local officials call for the VA clinic to move forward. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders have been vocal about it, as have several local officials. The most recent Berkeley Township Council meeting had their governing body issue a resolu-

tion to the powers that be to that effect. Mayor Carmen Amato called the delay “unacceptable.” He also noted that the Toms River location would be better for Berkeley residents because it’s closer and better for public transportation. Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) said in a recent op-ed he was told that New Jersey might not see a new facility until at least 2024, a decade after the replacement process had started.

The op-ed, co-written by Barbara Kim-Hagemann, state commander, VFW Department of New Jersey, laid out some things that the VA can do right now: • Fully staff the current clinic • Establish a mobile “Touch Point” clinic to meet vets closer to home • Find solutions to the parking problem • Meet with veteran leaders publicly to provide transparency and hear what they have to say.

Continued From Page 1 or building on the property years ago. The mayor noted that the township does want to see more commercial businesses coming into town and that the PILOT program is serving to assist with that effort. He noted that while in this case tax money would not be collected to help support the school system in the township, the township assists with paying for class 3 resource oﬃcers “which serves their benefit. If the school comes to us and needs something, we do it because we sometimes have more flexibility budget wise.” “The amount that the township will generate from this proposal far exceeds what it would be if it wasn’t developed,” Mayor Palmer added. “The $12,000 they pay now; we’re going to get far more from that landowner than we do right now.” Also approved was the redevelopment plan for 2132 Route 37, a non-condemnation redevelopment area. “This was actually approved several months ago. The developer sat down with some of the nearby residents and came to an agreement to move certain berms so it would not be so close to residential homes so this is just making those changes from the original plan,” Fusaro said. Manchester will also purchase vacant land located at 3101 Route 547 through an ordinance which was passed during the meeting. Oﬃcials also authorized the adoption of a redevelopment plan on 2121 Lake Road which is a non-condemnation redevelopment area. Fusaro said was associated with the plan

The Manchester Times, September 26, 2020, Page 7 for the storage facility. Another land sale was introduced among new ordinances for first reading at 608 Amsterdam Avenue. This will require a minimum bid of $5,00 and the second reading of the ordinance will be held on September 28. Also introduced was an ordinance concerning various capital improvements and other related expenses for the Department of Public Safety and appropriating $750,000 providing for the issuance of $712,500 in bonds or notes. Fusaro said this concerned Emergency Medical Service bonds. “The EMS is working wonderful for our residents but some rigs have some issues. We borrowed three rigs from Brick.” A resolution for an emergency appropriation was also approved declaring a need for the purchase of the EMS vehicles and equipment. The Township Council also recognized National MIA/POW Recognition Day which is held on the third Friday of September each year. Members of the governing body also noted the 19th anniversary of 9/11 earlier in the month and Council President Fusaro noted how a last-minute decision to cancel an appointment to instead attend a township council meeting, had saved his life. Fusaro said, “I was supposed to be at a special meeting at the Pentagon and I was serving as council president at the time and we had an important measure we were voting on and it was split so I decided to cancel that meeting for the council meeting. Not too many councilmen can say their life was possibly saved by not cancelling out on a council meeting.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Everyone Wants To Shout, Not Listen There’s no time for quiet contemplation. No interest in thoughtful discussion. But there’s plenty of time and energy for yelling at the top of your lungs about your opinion. Facebook and the other social media apps have made it easy. A way to mouth off is at your fingertips. On your desk. In your pocket. You never have to meet the people you’re yelling at. Never have to see the whites of their eyes. Never have to acknowledge that they are also human beings. How convenient! What’s worse is that there are people with a platform who use that platform to spread disinformation and anger. I’ve heard diatribes from so-called radio and TV personalities who don’t know anything about the topics. They spout off nonsense and beat their chest, trying to sound big and tough. As Don Henley said about news anchors “I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear.”

What kind of a person do you have to be – you’re given the gift of a huge audience and you spend it spreading lies and hate? Even though this started long ago, I suggest we coin it “The Roaring 2020s.” We’d rather shout than listen. We can’t hear anyone else over the sound of our own voice. Anyone who disagrees with us is shot down. And of course this is an election year, in case you’ve been under a rock. The shouters are even louder. The political parties know this, and they take advantage of it. They come up with easy-to-remember terms, easy to shout at others. Pre-fabricated arguments. Any topic you can think of is way more complicated than either side would like to admit. Resolution would take nuanced discussion and really listening. In any disagreement, the truth is somewhere in between. Chris Lundy News Editor

E DITORIAL Make Yourself Heard

The people of Manchester face an array of issues – taxes, traffic, the environment, education. Issues that will impact Manchester for years to come. And no doubt you have something to say about them. So what can you do to ensure that your voice gets heard? First and foremost, town cou ncil meetings. Let

your oﬃcials know you’re watching. You can also write letters to the editor to papers like ours. People follow their local papers and by writing about important issues, you spark vital discussion on topics that affect your life. Don’t allow yours to be a lone voice in the wilderness. Make yourself heard.

Do you have something you want everyone to know? Write a letter to make yourself heard.

Letters To The Editor Martin Weber: Perfect Candidate For 3rd District I hate politicians. It doesn’t matter if they are Republican, Democrat, Green Party, or independent. My deep seated dislike and distrust comes from years of broken promises, sketchy deals behind the scenes, and the feeling that they don’t represent me or my family in any way and are rooted in their own self interest. With that said, I am writing this letter to express my support for Martin Weber for Congress in the upcoming 2020 election. There are several reasons why it is imperative for him to win the seat, the most important being that he will represent his constituents’ interests and cannot be bought, lobbied, or coerced to vote against the principles which drive his life and therefore, his campaign. We are living in a world and country that is deeply divided and people are fighting and losing friends and family connections over many issues that I won’t get into here. You already know what those issues are. The issue that has been pushed to the backburner in the mainstream is that of veteran’s healthcare and rights. I come from a family of veterans in numerous branches of the armed forces and have sadly seen the state of

Letters The Editor health care offered toTo those govern the rest of us. There Democrats, Republicans, who sacrificed themselves to protect the people of the United States. It needs to be fixed for the veterans that need it today and for future veterans! My son is only 12, but has his heart set on enlisting in the Navy. Although he will be able to make his own decision when the time comes, as a mother I would feel better about his decision to serve our country if I knew that he wouldn’t be left to die waiting for appointments for medical or mental health issues and that he would get the care that befits someone altruistic enough to fight for our country. So this isn’t just about veterans being left behind now, this is also about changing the system to protect our future heroes who will no doubt face great challenges. Martin Weber knows all too well the state of our V.A. health care and will fight with his heart and soul to change it, make it better, and to make it worthy of our veterans present and future. Martin Weber will also fight for term limits for Congress. I wholeheartedly agree with this agenda. If a politician spends 30 or 40 years in oﬃce, not only are they disconnected with the reality of their constituents, but they are also able to cause more damage when they consolidate power, connections, and become immune to the laws that

are too many career politicians in Congress that are focused on their own interests and it has become deeply damaging to this country. Career politicians and judges have proven themselves incapable of upholding the Constitution, running this country economically and socially, and working for the people rather than special interest groups. Speaking of the upholding the Constitution, the Second Amendment states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” It has become abundantly clear in the last few months that our right to protect ourselves, our families, and our homes is something that needs to be preserved. Martin Weber will not be swayed in his conviction to keep the Second Amendment intact. One needs to only look at history to understand that an unarmed populace is fodder for totalitarian control and abuse. If we want change, we need to care. We need to vote for politicians that care instead of someone that is the lesser of two evils. We need to start local and critically think about our values and who represents those values. Martin Weber is the candidate who will represent us and our values. His beliefs and motives are from the heart, not the wallet. I guess I don’t hate all politicians, because I will be voting for him.

black people, white people, brown people, young, old, dead. They didn’t have to die. But they did. And there are a lot of fingers to point and a lot of blame to go around, but a fish stinks from the head. By this weekend, the death toll will equal the populations of Yonkers, of Huntsville, of Salt Lake City. Imagine all of those people dead. Are you still unsure if you’ll vote or who to vote for? How many have to die? The election is not far away. At this rate, Buffalo is gone, or Reno. When is it enough?

Congressman Chris Smith: House Passes Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), voted for and applauds the recent House passage of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, a bipartisan bill to remove discrimination in the workplace and promote women’s health and job security. “Discrimination against pregnant women anywhere - especially and including in the workforce - is despicable,” said Smith. “The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act clarifies and expands existing anti-discrimination laws by requiring employers provide reasonable workplace accommodations for pregnant workers including the ability to sit while working or take water or bathroom breaks as needed. “It is especially critical as we struggle with COVID-19 and its impact on the economy that pregnant workers in a physical workplace do not face loss of employment or working conditions that jeopardize health or safety. Women should not have to choose between their and their child’s health or their job,” said Smith. “The passage of the Pregnant Workers

Fairness Act is long overdue. I applaud its passage in the House and hope that the Senate will take up this important piece of legislation to ensure pregnant workers are treated fairly and with accommodations that protect their health,” added Smith. Rep. Smith recognizes the vital role of women in providing for the financial needs of their families. He is a supporter of paid family and medical leave and currently the only Republican cosponsor of the FAMILY Act (HR 1185) which would provide workers with up to 12 weeks of paid leave for pregnancy, childbirth, recovery from an illness, or to care for a family member. During the current 116th Congress, Smith also voted for the Paycheck Fairness Act (HR 7), to provide women with equal pay for equal work. Additionally, Smith voted twice for the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which changed the timeframe for a woman or any employee to file an employment discrimination charge and receive compensation.

Government:

Continued From Page 10 for the new COVID-19 child care tuition assistance program the Murphy Administration has created to help families with child care costs as schools open remotely. The $150 million program will provide child care tuition assistance to New Jersey families with incomes up to $75,000 that are in need of either full or part-time child care due to their child’s remote learning schedule. Families can apply for this assistance by completing the online application at ChildCareNJ.gov. Those applying will need proof of income and a notice or announcement from their child’s school of a remote learning schedule. “The Murphy Administration is committed to helping working families during this incredibly challenging time by providing support to help address the unanticipated child care costs families face as schools open remotely or with hybrid schedules,” Commissioner Johnson said. “Many working families are struggling to work-fromhome or be at essential jobs while their children are attending school remotely. This new program is here to help and we encourage eligible families to apply.” Tuition assistance will be available through December 30, 2020 for eligible residents with school-age children, 5 to 13 years old. Families may submit applications and Human Services will provide the tuition assistance to eligible participants until funding is exhausted. Recipients will be eligible for either full- or part-time support based on their families’ needs. To learn more and apply visit ChildCareNJ.gov. The tuition assistance is part of $250 million plan announced last month by Governor Murphy to support working families and child care. As part of that plan, the Department is also providing state child care subsidies for families with incomes below 200% of the federal poverty line during the school day for children aged 5 to 13 through December 30, 2020. Families that currently receive state child care subsidies for before and after school care for school age children are being contacted directly to identify their needs during the school day. Child care providers will be paid the subsidy rate for school-age children based on the hours of care needed. Human Services is also supporting child care centers that make it a priority to serve children receiving the child care subsidy by providing supplemental payments of $75 per subsidy-eligible child, per month, including infants, toddlers, and school-age children to providers through the end of the year. And Human Services is making funding available to licensed child care centers and registered family child care providers in New Jersey that are open or will open by October 1st to manage added operational costs due to new COVID-19 health and safety guidelines. These funds will be available to nearly 6,000 child care providers in New Jersey with increased

Funds will be available through an application process that will open in the upcoming weeks through the New Jersey Child Care Information System (NJCCIS). Since the start of the pandemic, the Murphy Administration has taken several

steps to support child care for families and to support the sustainability of providers including: • Increasing investments in child care, including more than $125 million through two key actions: creating and funding State-subsidized emergency child care for essential workers at the peak of the crisis and having provided the State’s child care subsidy to centers based on prior enrollment throughout the spring and summer;

• Providing grants to child care centers and youth camps to assist in meeting COVID-19 related health and safety guidelines; • Waiving parent co-pays in the State’s child care subsidy program for parents who requested it due to impacts from COVID-19; and • Delivering personal protective equipment to emergency child care centers and family child care providers.

Each community in town will be notified of when the flushing will take place, according to the Manchester Township Department of Utilities. They are expected

to go through November. The time of day will vary, and some will happen at night. Some customers might notice a difference in pressure or discoloration.

Trees To Be Replaced

By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At a recent Borough Council meeting, Council President Steven Oglesby reported on the status of replacing trees in a section of the borough which had to be removed in recent months. Oglesby told Mayor Harold Robbins in an update that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it looks like it will either be Japanese cherry trees or Bradford pear trees. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too wide and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too tall. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a tremendously

long life but they will be limited to the space between the sidewalk and curb. They seem to be the most appropriate trees.â&#x20AC;? The trees that had been removed had been a potential hazard as they were tall and extended out toward utility wires. Some were also dying and it was feared future storms could bring them down onto the utility wires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am also researching grant money for those trees,â&#x20AC;? Oglesby added.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE National 4-H Week To Be Observed October 4-10

OCEAN COUNTY - Ocean County 4-H members are preparing to observe National 4-H Week on October 4-10. Every year, National 4-H Week sees millions of youth, parents, volunteers and alumni come together to showcase the many positive youth development opportunities offered by 4-H. The theme for this year’s National 4-H Week, Opportunity4All, is a campaign that was created by National 4-H Council to rally support for Cooperative Extension’s 4-H program and identify solutions to eliminate the opportunity gap that affects 55 million kids across America. 4-H is a community of young people across America who learn leadership, citizenship and life skills. Building on this, 4-H’ers will continue to be involved in serving their

communities. Through 4-H programs, young people combine their concerns with practical skills so they can make a difference. With so many children struggling to reach their full potential, 4-H believes that young people, in partnership with adults, can play a key role in creating a more promising and equitable future for youth, families and communities across the country. In 4-H, we believe every child should have an equal opportunity to succeed. We believe every child should have the skills they need to make a difference in the world. The 4-H Youth Development Program of Rutgers Cooperative Extension, a unit of Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, is open to boys and girls in kindergarten through one year out of high school wherever they live. Programs are offered in a variety of formats including virtual STEP clubs, webinars, workshops or camps, activity kits, and much more. For information on how you can become involved in 4-H as a member or volunteer leader contact the Ocean County 4-H Oﬃce at 732-349-1227or by email ocean4h@co.ocean. nj.us Visit the New Jersey 4-H website at nj4h. rutgers.edu to learn about 4-H Youth Development Program opportunities.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Report: Teen Vaping Down In 2020

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – A survey released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed a reduction in vaping among high school and middle school students. Country-wide, the survey said that the number of school-aged children who use e-cigarettes dropped by 1.8 million since last year. This is a change from 5.4 million to 3.6 million. “With the pandemic making all the headlines, it’s satisfying to see some positive results concerning a public health issue that has had a tremendous impact on the lives of our teens and young people,” explained Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “The news is good but teen vaping is still an epidemic in the US. More than 3 million young people still using e-cigarettes so there’s still work to be done.” The percent of high schoolers using e-cigarettes and vaping products dropped from 28 percent to 20 percent. For middle school students, it dropped from 11 percent to 5 percent. Ocean County Public Health Coordinator/ Health Oﬃcer, Daniel Regenye said the national survey is conducted at schools each year by the CDC and usually 20,000 middle and high school students participate.

It asks students if they had used any vaping or traditional tobacco products in the previous month. The survey was cut short this year as schools closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think the Public Health community was pleasantly surprised by the data,” Regenye said. “Measures such as public health media and awareness campaigns, the increase of price and sales restrictions together with raising the age limit for sales to 21 - all contributed to the decline.” The outbreak of COVID-19 possibly impacted this in other ways. Sales started falling for the chemicals throughout the year as the pandemic spread, Regenye said. Some reports linked those getting sick with people who vaped solutions containing THC. Additionally, the Food and Drug Administration banned flavors that were most frequently used by minors. “Overall the teen vaping data is extremely encouraging and the timing couldn’t be any better now that the pandemic and start of the flu season are converging,” added Patricia High, OCHD Assistant Public Health Coordinator. “All of these can lead to significant respiratory breakdown and put an added burden on our health care systems at a time when resources have already been stretched.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Census 2020 Wrapping Up On September 30

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Mobile “On the Spot” Questionnaire Assistance Centers will be available to help make sure that all Ocean County residents are counted in the 2020 Census. “This is it,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “There are only days left to get all of our residents counted in the 2020 Census. While we have exceeded the 2010 Census response rate, we still need to continue this current effort until the end of September.” Vicari said, “I want to thank the members of the Complete Count Committee for their participation in doing outreach and promoting the importance of the Census. I am proud to work with each and every one of you.” By September 30 the Census Bureau will be wrapping up operations and Vicari said, “I cannot stress enough how important it is for all of us to be a part of this secure and confidential process.” “If you want day care for your children, well maintained infrastructures, a clean environment, good schools, senior assistance, and the list goes on, it all goes back to being counted in the Census. We don’t have a lot of time left but it’s still enough time for people to do the right thing and fill out the forms,” Vicari said. Ocean County has been promoting Census related activities for more than a year when it first created the 2020 Complete Count Committee made up of representatives from towns, non-profits and other organizations tasked with getting the word out. Various methods were employed to push participation even harder, such as municipal and organizational outreach, social media, websites, and public events throughout the County such as a Census Billboard truck, a Census enumeration event at the Blue Claws stadium that drew thousands of residents, and even free ice cream distribution events were held. Census data affects the allocation of more

than $45 billion, or about $5,160 per New Jersey resident, in annual federal funding. Communities receive funds for programs and services relating to health, education, housing, infrastructure and much more based on Census data. Vicari said that everyone living in the United States has the right to be counted in the 2020 Census and the data is all strictly confidential. “Every part of the Census, from enumeration to the Census data itself, is protected by Federal Law under Title 13. The information on the census questionnaire cannot be used for any other purpose or shared with any other institutions or agencies. If you haven’t filled out your Census yet, it’s important that you do so right now,” Vicari said. The branches of the Ocean County Library have trained staff to assist the public with completing their 2020 Census on dedicated laptops or their paper questionnaires. There are many Mobile Questionnaire Assistance Centers staffed by the Census scheduled around the county until September 30. The following locations will have “on the spot” Census assistance: Sept. 26: Seaside Boardwalk, 617 Boardwalk / Blaine and Boardwalk, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 27: Seaside Boardwalk, 617 Boardwalk/Blaine and Boardwalk, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 27: Barnegat Farmers Market, 11 Birdsall St., 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. All events scheduled to have Census staff available, as well as other information on the Census can be found on the Ocean County 2020 Census website, co.ocean. nj.us/OC/2020Census/. Those who have not completed their Census can still self-respond by going to my2020census.gov, calling the hotline in English at 844-330-2020 or Spanish at 844-468-2020. The Census sent out a final paper questionnaire to any household that has yet to respond.

Better Hearing, Resilience, And You!

Like improved hearing, resilience can make a significant difference in the quality of life – after all, it reflects an invaluable ability to adapt to, recover from, or withstand challenges, change, and adversity. Since March, 2020, we have all experienced what the effects of Covid 19 have had on our overall lifestyle, health, and well-being. Dr. Izzy and his Staff have some tips for building resilience in your life for the present and future: REMEMBER YOU’RE NOT ALONE: If you’ve felt somewhat disconnected in these times, that’s not uncommon. Challenges such as the pandemic have upended the way we live, work, and play. Newer norms can feel uncomfortable. Drawing strength from the knowledge that others share your experiences can make a difference. GAIN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH PREPARATION: If you wear hearing technology, it’s probably no surprise that a little maintenance goes a long way toward helping you stay engaged. Regular hearing aid checks & cleanings will increase the reliability of your hearing instruments

and help you feel prepared for anything life brings. THINK TOTAL WELLNESS: Hearing plays an important role in overall wellness, which in turn plays a role in resilience. Did you know? Ears and eyes work together to help you perceive the world. Conversely, hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline, heart disease, isolation, and other issues, so protect your hearing health. COMMIT TO LEARNING: Learning not only stimulates the brain but supports resilience. It also supports better hearing, especially when learning more about your existing hearing device’s helpful features and capabilities – streaming, for example = that can help you communicate confidently and navigate your world. REACH OUT FOR HELP: Expanding and tapping into your network of support can help fortify your resilience. Count on our hearing care team as part of that important connected family network, letting us know how we can help! We HEAR you and we are ALWAYS here for you! 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.

How To Balance Your Hormones By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

At a certain age, we all lose those youthful hormones, and start to think about replenishment. That’s a great idea, but determining what hormones you need to replenish based upon your test results is very tricky and there may be trial and error involved. There’s a lot of confusion about hormones, testing and natural supplements to help shift patterns. The route of administration matters in terms of testing yourself. So, for example, if you take oral estrogen, then a blood test is fine. If you do use transdermal hormones, a patch, pellet or injection form, then I highly recommend you do urine metabolite testing as in the “DUTCH Complete” test. This is a home test kit that required you to urinate on a little strip. It’s available at my website because I’m one of their licensed providers. Here’s guidance about each hormone. My goal right now is to help you break it down properly, which in turn improves health and reduces risk for cancer-causing metabolites. Estrogen. Men and women have all three types of estrogen in their body, and each of these exhibit varying degrees of activity and target different tissues. Dramatic reductions in estradiol may lead to a decrease in mental sharpness and muscle mass. In excess, estradiol is associated with heavy periods, fibroids and endometriosis. DIM and glutathione supplements help break this down well, depending on the specific metabolite you make. The DUTCH test will tell you your ratios of estrogen and the way you break them down. Progesterone. Benefits of progesterone impact mood and sleep. Stroke victims

are sometimes given progesterone to help recover because it plays a role in neurogenesis. Progesterone keeps women looking more youthful by improving elasticity and stimulating collagen production. Excessive amounts cause mood swings, fatigue, dizziness, yeast infections, bloating, fluid retention, acne and drowsiness. Testosterone. Adequate amounts help both men and women, although this hormone is predominately male. It is required for sperm production therefore playing a role in fertility. It gives people a competitive spirit. Benefits include energy, libido, strong bones and fat-burning capabilities. During andropause when levels plummet and men suddenly notice problems in the bedroom, or with prostate function. Excessive amounts of testosterone in women cause cystic acne, deepening of the voice, PCOS, facial hair and menstrual irregularities. Some people have an androgenic preference in the way they break down testosterone and this can be corrected with natural remedies such as saw palmetto and stinging nettle. Some people have poor Phase I metabolism and therefore create cancer-associated estrogen by-products which are like trash in your body. You have to take the trash out. By that I mean, you need to open up that pathway using natural remedies such as DIM and others. If you don’t methylate well, you could benefit from some methyl donors like TMG, methyl cobalamin (vitamin B12) or natural folate. It’s really about detoxifying the hormones you have, not total estrogen or testosterone levels. There is more about this in my free hormone eBook available to you right now at suzycohen.com.

Interfaith Helps Families When They Need It Most

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY − Something as simple as a flat tire can break the tenuous financial balance of some families who are living paycheck to paycheck, by creating a domino effect after missing a day of work and having to pay for the tire repair. It’s not only single-parent homes who are struggling financially while trying to keep

a roof over their heads, said Patricia Cash, Executive Director of Interfaith Hospitality Network of Ocean County (IHNOC), which provides shelter, meals and supportive services to the homeless working poor. “We are seeing more and more intact homeless families because the rents are so high in Ocean County - an average two-bedroom apartment is around $1,500 a month, on

the low end, and with both parents making minimum wage...well, you do the math,” she said. “Add an illness or the car breaks down - and now with COVID, many families have become homeless.” Brick Township recently distributed a $43,500 federal CDBG grant to 12 social service agencies that provide essential services to its residents. IHNOC was awarded $5,000

of the grant money. Patricia Cash has led the non-profit, interfaith ministry for 23 years. The only other full-time employee is administrative assistant Kerry Jackson, but the organization has over 1,000 trained volunteers from participating host congregations. IHNOC uses churches and synagogues for overnight lodging, and a church-owned house that also contains a day center and oﬃce. Each host congregation furnishes overnight lodging and meals for three to five families on a rotating schedule while the families seek permanent employment and affordable housing. The church-owned four-bedroom house is located behind St. Joseph’s in downtown Toms River, which can house up to 14 people for two weeks. The organization is largely supported through donations made by the congregations of the churches and synagogues. Before COVID, volunteers provided dinner and ate with the families every night, and two of the volunteers would spend the night, Cash explained. “Every night our [homeless] guests are meeting their community and getting to know each other, and it gives our community a different view of what homelessness is,” she said. Now, because of COVID, volunteers leave the prepared meal in a cooler on the front porch to avoid exposure to the virus. The house has been empty for two weeks, but that will change once the moratorium on evictions has lifted, Cash said. IHNOC is part of a continuum of care of some 80 social service agencies who are connected and work together, she explained. Some of the agencies include Fulfill (formerly the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties), Village Resources, Legal Services of New Jersey, the Board of Social Services, Department of Children and Families (formerly DYFS), and many more. The homeless are able to take advantage of some of the services offered by IHNOC while they are guests, including programs on financial literacy, parenting, career counseling, nutrition, support groups and more. Cash is particularly interested in “word gap,” or a disparity in the vocabulary of children based on their socioeconomic status. The average child in a professional family hears 2,153 words per waking hour, in a working class family they hear 1,251 an hour and in a welfare family, 616 words per hour. Vocabulary development during the preschool years is related to reading skills and school success in later years, she said. In order to be eligible for IHNOC services, a family must have three things: children, a vehicle, and a work history, she said. Cash recalls many success stories from former homeless families who were able to get their lives back on track after leaving IHNOC. A couple and their two young sons returned six years after they had become homeless and received help from IHNOC. The mother had gotten a degree in social work, and the father had become a pastor of a church, which is now a host site, she said. “It’s up to them if they want to keep in touch,” Cash said. “I can be their best or (Interfaith - See Page 23)

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Trusts For Minor Children

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Where parents have minor children, they often want to establish trusts in their Wills for the benefit of the minor children in the event that both parents should pass away. In such a case, the money is held in the trust for the benefit of the children. A person called the “trustee” is appointed by the Will to manage the trust on behalf of the children. Most trusts for the benefit of minor children allow the money to be used for their health, education, maintenance and support. The term “education” usually also refers to college education. There are several ways to go about doing this. The most common ways are the (1) common trust or (2) the separate trust. In the common trust, all of the money is held until the youngest child reaches an age specified in the Will. Upon the youngest child reaching the specified age, the monies remaining in the trust are then distributed to all of the children. In a separate trust, the assets are divided among the children and a separate trust is created for each child and each child receives their trust when the each reach the specified age. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? The advantage of the common trust is that the money is held until the youngest child reaches the specified age. In this way, the trustee can use the money in the trust and if necessary, spend more of the money in the trust on one child as opposed to the others. As a parent, most people would be willing

to spend everything they had on one child at the expense of the other children if that child required greater care than Marc S. Galella Esq. the other children. By using a common trust, you give the trustee the flexibility to do this. The drawback to the common trust is that the older children will have to wait a longer period of time to receive their share of the inheritance depending upon the age of the youngest child. This could be a disadvantage if there is a significant age difference between the youngest and oldest child. The advantage of the separate trust is that each child will receive their share of the estate when they reach the specified age. This means that the older children do not have to wait for their inheritance until the youngest child reaches the specified age. The drawback to the separate trust is the trustee can only use the money in that individual child’s trust for the care of that child. If one child requires significantly more care than the other children, the trustee is limited to the amount of money in that child’s trust and cannot use the money in the other trusts. Which trust is better for you for your is something to be discussed with your estate planning attorney when making up your Will.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Columbus Day Parade Canceled

By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – The Columbus Day Parade will not be held this year. With great regret, Parade Chairman Michael A. Blandina made the announcement earlier this month. Like so many other autumn events held around the county, the 29th Annual Ocean County Columbus Day Parade and Italian Festival was canceled due to financial shortfalls brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. The event would have been held from October 9 to October 11 on Grant Avenue in the borough. “I was really hoping we could go forward,” Blandina said. “We have been unable to conduct fundraisers or seek sponsors that normally provide the committee with the $120,000-plus needed to support the three-day festival and parade. We had one fundraiser earlier in the year and held our spring raff le.” The parade featured f loats, bands, antique cars, contests, clowns and other attractions. The weekend also offered a full of range of family friendly activities including a three-day Italian Heritage festival that included musical entertainment and various vendors and folkloric dance troops that came from different regions of Italy. Last year’s folkloric group included Citta di Castrovillari “The committee currently is selling our Fall Raff le Tickets and plan to sell all 100 Fall Raff le Tickets, so that we can give away the $5,000 cash prize. The committee hopes to have our annual benefit sponsored by Carrabba’s Italian

Grill,” Blandina said. Blandina said that the fundraiser would have “a different format as well as our annual Italian Invitational Golf Outing, which was or iginally scheduled for August 17, later in the year. That will depend on the ability to obtain sponsors. The committee also hopes you and your family stay well and safe during these trying times.” “We look for ward to seeing all of you next year as we celebrate our 30th anniversary on October 8-10, 2021. If anyone is interested in supporting the committee as we plan for the 30th anniversary please do not hesitate to call us at 732 477-6507,” Blandina added. Seaside Heights is extending its summer beach season by a few weekends to help supplement the revenue losses ex p e r ie nce d due t o t he COV I D -19 conditions. The parade was an autumn event that drew thousands of people to the shore area in October. Seaside Heights Mayor Anthony Vaz noted that it was the biggest event the borough holds each fall. “It is very important to our fall season,” Vaz said. The mayor added however that while he was sorry to learn the news, he completely understood why it could not be held this year. Blandina stressed that next year’s effort needed public support. “Those interested in purchasing the Fall Raff le, sponsoring the Golf Outing or participating in the outing please give us a call.

Balance and Physical Therapy

By: Jennifer Vadas, DPT, Jackson Facility Manager

alance plays a key role in the vast majority of typical activities we perform throughout our day. Whether it is reaching for a dish, standing while talking to a neighbor, or swinging a golf club; the importance of maintaining the highest functional level of balance cannot be understated. Balance tends to decline as we age; which puts older adults at an increased risk for falls, and subsequent injury. However, difficulties with varying levels of balance can affect people at all ages. Impairments in balance can often be a secondary effect of many other conditions, including stroke, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathy; just to name a few. There are multiple systems of the body that impact balance; they include the visual, somatosensory, vestibular, and musculoskeletal systems. The visual system plays a role in balance by allowing you to see any obstacles in your path, and react accordingly. The brain also receives visual signals to help perceive how the body is oriented in regards to its surroundings. The somatosensory system includes tactile sensation (touch), and proprioception (positional awareness). Tactile sensation in our feet allows us to feel them on the ground below us. This allows us to be aware of any changes in the surface we are walking on. Our proprioceptive system allows us to understand the position of our joints, this is particularly important in our ankles in order to be aware of any postural sway and react accordingly to correct balance. The vestibular system is located in the inner ear; it functions in balance by detecting movements of the head. This allows for clear vision with motion, and maintaining upright positioning. The musculoskeletal system involves our muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments. It is important to maintain good flexibility and strength in our muscles; as they help to stabilize in balance tasks. If muscles are overly tight, they will be unable

to allow for motion required to move correctly, or to compensate if you are losing your balance. Maintaining good muscular strength is important throughout the body. Our postural muscles (i.e. those in the shoulder, back, and abdominals) help to sustain optimal positioning for good balance. Lower extremity strength, from the hips down to the ankles, is important to preserve stability in both static (standing still) and dynamic (moving) tasks. Should one of these systems become compromised, it is important that the remaining function at the highest possible level to overcome that deficit. Physical therapy can be utilized to rehabilitate areas that have been weakened or injured and to increase the functional level of the others. For example, in a patient with visual impairments, physical therapy can be utilized to improve the function of the vestibular system; as well as increase muscular strength and flexibility. Physical therapy allows you to challenge your balance and perform activities that are difficult, while in a safe setting with professionals who can properly cue you for methods to better perform these activities. Your therapist will perform a comprehensive examination to determine where your particular deficits lie, and will then establish a program focusing on your individual needs. Programs tend to encompass all areas that impact balance; including stretching muscles that are overly tight, strengthening those that are weak, using varied surfaces/directions of movement, performing tasks with eyes closed, and decreasing base of support. There is also a focus on incorporating functional tasks into therapy treatments. A common complaint we hear from people who are coming to therapy for balance is they find they have increased difficulty maintaining their balance while walking in crowds, or in grocery stores when trying to look for objects. Therapy will mimic these scenarios by providing patient

with perturbations (similar to being jostled in a crowd), and teaching appropriate reaction strategies. Another common exercise is having a patient walk while both nodding and turning their heads, similar to what we do in a grocery store to look for the box of cereal we want while still moving down the aisle. These are just a few examples of the many activities a patient may perform in therapy as part of a balance training program. It is extremely important to feel safe and conﬁdent with functional mobility to uphold a high quality of life. Having feelings of limitations in balance will decrease the possibility of this. Fortunately, there are treatment options available to improve balance and mobility, to uphold your personal lifestyle goals.

By Alyssa Riccardi NEW JERSEY – Employees from New Jersey American Water donated $5,000 and provided over 500 pounds of food across New Jersey’s food banks. An additional $1,700 was also donated through the American Water Charitable Foundation employee matching gift program. This means a total of $6,700 will contribute around 20,100 meals for people in need. Atlantic City Electric, New Jersey Natural Gas Company, Jersey Central Power & Light and South Jersey Industries came together for a statewide food drive that resulted in a donation of around $15,000 and over 1,200 pounds of food donated to the

11 New Jersey food banks. “COVID-19 has placed such a strain on our local foodbanks, with food shortages, increased prices, and increased demands due to job loss and school closures,” said Cheryl Norton, President of New Jersey American Water and Chief Environmental Oﬃcer of American Water. “I am so proud of our employees and their eagerness to give during these diﬃcult times, and I am especially proud to work for a company that recognizes the generosity of its employees through matched donations.” For more information about food insecurity and to locate a food bank near you, visit feedingamerica.org.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee

By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a diﬀerence in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in

addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology. After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the offi ce,

Honor Micromedia’s Late Alice Swann With Charity Donation & Car Wash

By Kimberly Bosco In honor of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, the Micromedia family asks that you keep the Alice Swann Ovarian Cancer Memorial Fund in mind. Alice Swann, wife of Stewart Swann, President/Publisher of Micromedia Publications, passed away on October 17, 2018 after a four and a half year battle with ovarian cancer. Alice was not only loved and cherished by her close family and friends, but also by her Micromedia family, having served as treasurer here for many years. Alice and Stewart Swann’s daughter Chrissy Morrison is requesting that those who wish to donate, to do so through a special website. Morrison said: “My mother, Alice Swann has been an integral part of Micromedia Publications for many years. Unfortunately, she lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer. As a Registered Nurse, I knew that day was coming, however, it came much sooner than I expected. “Over the course of her illness, I watched my mother endure treatments that kept her in bed for weeks at a time. I spent countless hours in her home administering IV fluids, and medications just to keep her comfortable. My father, Stew Swann waited on her around the clock, because there were days she just couldn’t get out of bed. I can’t tell you how many times I had to drop everything to rush her to her Oncologist, or the Emergency Room due to the many side effects and issues she encountered during her treatments. “Despite everything she went through, she did it all with grace. She continued putting her children and grandchildren ahead of herself when she was able. Even on the day of her death, she was asking for treatment, because she didn’t want to leave her kids. I know in my heart she is in a much better place, and no longer suffering in agonizing pain, but nothing can take away the pain of losing your mother. “I humbly ask you honor her memory with a donation to the Alice Swann Ovarian Cancer Memorial Fund, so others may not have to suffer the same fate as my mother.” Donations to the Alice Swann Ovarian Cancer Memorial Fund, will go to Levine Cancer Institute, can be made at: https://fundraise.atriumhealthfoundation.org/team/237913.

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Todd Frazier is moving back to “New York, New York.” The local sports hero, who makes it a habit to have Frank Sinatra playing when he’s at bat, will be returning to the Mets. “It’s been real @rangers. I want to thank you guys for everything. I got to meet and play with some great people in Arlington. I will definitely miss them. With that being said, we got some unfinished business in Queens,” he posted on social media. Frazier was part of the 1998 Little League World Series-winning team in Toms River. He went on to star wherever he played: Toms River High School South, Rutgers University, the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago White Sox, the New York Yankees and then the New York Mets. After spending two years with the Mets, he was brought to the Texas Rangers for one year. Now, it’s back to New York, and back to the Mets. According to ESPN, the Mets acquired Frazier and catcher Robinson Chirinos from the Rangers. As of press time, the two players traded to the Rangers were not named. “We’re not playing great baseball right now and we need to boost ourselves,” Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen told ESPN. “So hopefully these players can give us that opportunity.” Frazier hit 39 home runs for the Mets over two seasons in 2018 and 2019. He hit .241 with two homers in 31 games for Texas this year after signing with the Rangers in January, according to ESPN. But he wasn’t sought for just his stats, but his personality. “He can hit a home run, he can start a game at third base, he can start a game at first base, he can DH,” Van Wagenen said. “It shouldn’t be lost that we want Todd Frazier’s energy, to come in and bring some life, be a guy that can come in and remind people what having fun is all about and someone who has a history with a lot of the players on our team.” In addition to his baseball wins, fans have

In 2014, he reportedly saved a choking man using the Heimlich maneuver in a Pittsburgh restaurant back when he was with the Cincinnati Reds. In 2013, the Reds had an honorary batboy named Teddy Kramer, a 30-year-old man with Down syndrome. Before stepping out to the plate, Kramer told Frazier to hit a home run. Frazier obliged, bringing in another runner at the same time. After they came back to the dugout, the video camera caught Frazier lifting Kramer in a hug. Locally, he’s been known to lend his voice and advocacy for good causes such as the Field of Dreams. This will be a special needs playground and more that will be in Bey Lea Park on North Bay Avenue in Toms River. The plans for this include a walking path with rehabilitative stations, a temperature-controlled pavilion, complimentary snack shack, courts for basketball, bocce and shuﬄe board, a state of the art all-inclusive playground, quiet corner, and baseball field.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Boutique In Toms River To Aid The Homeless

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Dreaming is important because sometimes those dreams come true. The dream of opening a new thrift store boutique to help the homeless belonged to a township resident and that dream became a reality on Aug. 12. Paul Hulse, the chief executive oﬃcer of Just Believe Inc. could not have been happier that day despite a rain storm that threatened a power loss and kept a few shoppers from coming out. The grand opening of the Just Believe Boutique was a big success. It is located at 734 Route 37. The hours are 11- 7 during the week and Sundays are 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. He pointed out a “memory wall,” saying it would always be “filled with pictures. These are just a few to give people a glimpse when they come into the store. We have over 3,000 pictures about what Just Believe does. When people come in, they will see our mission statement and a glimpse of the work we have done here in Toms River and throughout New Jersey and even into Kensington, Philadelphia.” Hulse said that volunteers worked to make it a boutique thrift store style “so it is comfy cozy and warm. You see a TV that is on the wall here that will run videos and other photos that to provide “a glimpse of what we do here.” James Havens was among the volunteers who worked during the day. When asked what his duties include, he answered “whatever Paul needs me to do.” The Bayville resident has known Hulse for awhile and has reason to be grateful for the core mission of Just Believe. “I was homeless in Toms River for quite some time and then I met up with Paul and it took some time but he got me where I needed to be. He helped me out and now I am housed and employable. I am doing good now,” Havens said. Displays were also set up filled with men’s and women’s shoes, socks, clothes and items

in a number of display cases. “Houseware items will be in the back corner for anyone looking for houseware items,” Hulse added. Hulse said all the proceeds of the store would support the mission of helping the homeless and disenfranchised in the community. They operate the Code Blue shelter that opens in the cold at Riverwood Park in Toms River. They also work through advocacy, case management and a volunteer work program. Volunteer Michele Quartuccil said, “I am a volunteer and I also work with the Code Blue shelter that we have as the kitchen coordinator. A friend of mine was here first and she asked me if I wanted to join as I had helped homeless people for quite some time. I said yes and fell in love with everybody and the people we help and now I’m hooked. I like to meet and talk to people.” She said a couple of customers came in during the day who were interested in donating items. “We take housewares, clothes, jewelry, stuff like that. We do debit credit cards here. Right now we have to do it through Paypal but we do debit and credit cards. We usually have about three or four volunteers in here.” Fellow volunteer Beth Busch said opening day went well and featured a ribbon cutting that involved local politicians as special guests. “Food was donated by the Blue Fountain restaurant next store. It really went well.” Hulse said, “we have some great ideas and ultimately we want to build a shelter. You have to start somewhere and here we are. This is the first phase of our business plan and we are super, super excited!” Amanda Mehrman handles a lot of the organization’s promotional work including the videos that will be seen on the store’s television screen. “I’ve been with the organization since it started. I do a lot of the videos and the mail outs that you see on Facebook and advertising. Our volunteers worked really hard to

put this together.” “As far as donations we did a really good job today in raising funds for our upcoming Code Blue because the weather will be changing soon. For Code Blue we were averaging between 25 to 30 people a night,” Mehrman said. She added that during this pandemic “a lot of people were being put up so far as homeless in hotels so we made sure that we went out there and were giving out sandwiches and other food. Once they started closing public places like libraries, they didn’t have any resources. Pantries closed down at the churches but we never stopped we just kept going.” Hulse, who previously served as director of Haven/Beat the Streets said, “we got in here on July 1 but we had to go through some hoops and get permits and some things that were unfamiliar territory but the township was very helpful on getting us through the process and here we are Aug. 12 our one year anniversary as an organization. “It really is a community effort that is how we got here. I’m excited about what the community and us will do next. To get one person from homelessness into housing is a lot of work. You need to have many resources and many connections. That is what we do we all connect together and help one person at a time,” Hulse said. “Now we have a place to help rehabilitate people and get them back into the work force and get them around people and into society once more and so they feel they are

worth something again and that people care,” Hulse added. Hulse said that while the organization has around 200 volunteers for Code Blue, with this new venture more would be welcome. He can relate to the plight of being homeless. He lives in Toms River now but originally lived in the southern Ocean County. “I was in Florida for a stint of time due to addiction of my own. I came to the Lord and God changed my life. My life has been dedicated to showing people that if God can change my life he can change theirs to.” The nearby Christian Revival Center in the same plaza helped a person in need who is now a volunteer at the thrift store. “I’m glad we have this place. It is very impactful and we just opened. All the work done here to get it ready was done by homeless volunteers who said they wanted to give something back and share their talent. There is a lot of love in this place,” Hulse said. He added, “people always say dreams don’t happen but here we are. Dreams do happen so don’t give up dreaming. Dream big and go for it.” Hulse described the boutique in a video on the organization’s Facebook page that promoted its opening saying, “when you come into the store, we have a sign here and it says masks so make sure you wear your mask when you come into the store. We have to follow the CDC guidelines.” Donations of items can be brought to the store. Monetary donations can be mailed to: Just Believe Inc. P.O Box 5441 Toms River NJ 08754.

County Opposes JCP&L Rate Hike

TOMS RIVER - Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari addressed the state Board of Public Utilities in opposition to a proposed Jersey Central Power & Light rate increase. Speaking at the September 10 virtual public hearing, Vicari vehemently opposed the 8.5 percent increase, which would hike average bills by almost $9 a month. Vicari

said senior citizens and young families cannot afford the rate hike, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Vicari was also critical of JCP&L’s response following an August tropical storm that left many customers without power for days. He called for the utility to reimburse residents who lost valuable refrigerated food and prescription medicines.

Omarrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 26 - oct 2 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may appear glamourous and accomplished to others, but inwardly you may be focused on something unresolved. In the week ahead, apply your energies to constructive activities and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dwell on resentment and failures. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be happy to learn that your loved ones are appreciative of your efforts to please them. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to stray far from home to enjoy carefree activities and spontaneous sociability in the upcoming week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may think you have all the answers, but that assumption might be incorrect. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that more investigation is necessary before a sound decision can be made. Let a partner support your efforts this week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Focus on the enduring values of love, family and friends, which are always more important than material things or the competition for supremacy. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine to spend money on those you love if you stay within your budget. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The more followers or contacts you have, the happier youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be right now. In the week ahead, you may be status-conscious about your connections within the community or workplace. Enjoy varied social activities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Sun will be leaving your sign in the week ahead, and your interests may turn to owning things that reflect good taste and please your partner. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a savvy shopper who will investigate all the specifications and reviews. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is the week

when the Sun enters your sign, heralding the start of fall if you live in the northern hemisphere or spring if you live south of the equator. Enjoy the changing season and celebrate with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Early in the week, loved ones may find creative ways to show their affection and their willingness to forgive passing spats. If romantic ardor has cooled, this is the perfect time to stoke the fires and prove your commitment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your generous spirit can be rewarded, as friends will likely flock to your side when you need them. Despite many demands on your resources in the upcoming week, long-term security can eventually be achieved. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may feel you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received credit where credit is due as this week unfolds. Go ahead and soak up rewards, optimism and the feel-good attitude of your friends when you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fun-loving Venus is in your opposite sign, and as you know, opposites attract. You may find that a partner or loved one is especially cheerful and affectionate in the week to come. Enjoy social activities when you can. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be discontented with superficial relationships, so you might drift away from people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand or appreciate you. In the week ahead, you can feel more attuned to those who understand your deepest needs.
