By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – The investigation on the wildfire that destroyed 167 acres of land in Lakewood and Brick Township remains at an im-

passe, officials said. The fire broke out on March 14, and took over a day to contain by firefighters. As a result, 29 residential properties were damaged, and two commercial build-

ings were destroyed. East Dover Fire Company District Chief Brian Sauers, who is also a firefighter with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, suffered (County- See Page 9)

Tours are free and donations are gratefully accepted for the museum which reopened on June 6. Organization President George Oglesby was among several members greeting visitors one recent Sunday. Lakehurst became an official municipality in 1921, so this marks its 100th anniversary. However, with the pandemic, they weren’t able to plan anything, he said. “In 2022 we’re going to have a really big celebration,” he said. “I think in September we will resume regular meetings with some speakers.” For now the group wants people to be

foreign countries have come to see the items on display. It is managed entirely by volunteers. It also features an old jail cell, memorabilia from the borough’s fire department and furnishings from the Pine Tree Inn. “We’re looking to have people call us and tell us if they have Lakehurst memorabilia and ask if we could hold onto it for three months and then return it,” member Bill Schmidt said. “It would need to be relevant to what we have here,” Oglesby added. Visitors can also look over the original paintings and many other items relating to Lakehurst’s past as a winter resort, early industrial community, and as the “Airship Capital of the World”. A small research area and library are also available to help people begin their journey through local history. A Christmas display of old toys, as well as a number of seasonal and changing displays make the museum a unique place to return to during various times of the year. There is a gift shop for Hindenburg and Lakehurst historical items. Hats, shirts, coffee mugs, pins and books are available for purchase on a cash only basis. Schmidt noted the importance of organizations and museums like this one. “I’m from Whiting. I retired from my job in 2018. A few weeks went by and I was

going crazy. I had nothing to do. I joined the Lakehurst Naval Historical Society and I bring people in on tours for that as well. That wasn’t enough so I came in here and looked around and I joined.” During one of the tours at the Lakehurst Naval Historical Society Museum he was shocked to encounter some students were unfamiliar with the basic details of the Civil War such as who wore the gray and who wore the blue uniforms. “History, if we get rid of it, we don’t learn from the mistakes we made. How do you move forward and get better without history? History is important. Without it, our future isn’t as good as it could be,” he added. Schmidt said the museum is open Wednesdays and Sundays from 12:30 until 3 p.m. Special tours and small groups can be accommodated with prior notice. For additional information, call Schmidt at 732-575-6904 or e-mail BillSchmidt1000@ aol.com. Oglesby stressed that the LHS is looking for new members and volunteers to aid in the operation of the museum. The organization meets monthly, every third Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Lakehurst Community Center, across the street from the museum. The building is located at 300 Center Street. For those interested in loaning historical items to the museum, you can reach out to Schmidt by calling 732-575-6904.

She noted that all candidates considered for employment underwent a thorough background investigation and submitted to medical, psychological, and drug screenings. Joining Chief Parker and Mayor Palmer and the fi refighters in attendance at the ceremony were members of the Township Council, Manchester Township Police Department, and Manchester Township of Emergency Medical Services. “We are now the only municipality in the State of New Jersey where Police, Fire, and EMS will operate under one command as an elite group of highly trained professionals,” Chief Parker said. “One unity of command committed to serving our community. I hope that this becomes the model for other municipalities to follow,” she added.

With the experience, training, and knowledge gained from being a volunteer firefighter since the age of 19 and being a career firefighter with the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Fire Department, Captain Brown will lead and supervise Station 76. The following firefighters also took the oath to become the inaugural team: Andrew Christensen, Michael Ott, Neal Lelievre, Salem Bahr, Mark Costner, John Filardo, Daniel Mechkowski, and Rachel Murray. The firefighters sworn in during the day’s ceremony have, at minimum, certificates in Firefighter I and Basic EMT. The firefighters will attend the Toms River Fire Academy for additional training and team building. Once they have completed their training, they will be assigned to work the day shift. Members of the Manchester, Ridgeway, and Whiting Volunteer Fire Departments will continue to provide essential firefighting services to the residents of the township. Chief Parker discussed details of the intensive hiring process which began in March, when around 60 individuals submitted their applications for employment.

Route 539 Overpass Through Base Advances In House From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith MANCHESTER − Two key projects for Ocean County - including the much-needed overpass for County Road 539 which goes through the center of Joint Base McGuire-Dix Lakehurst - championed by Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), cleared their first hurdle after the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) adopted Smith’s proposals and added them to a major transportation bill. Smith worked tirelessly with Ocean county and JB-MDL officials to propose and insert the prioritized local transportation projects into the INVEST in America Act, a nation-wide surface transportation reauthorization bill. The bill must still be passed by the full House and negotiated in

the Senate. “Working together with local officials, we identified and reviewed transportation projects to address road safety hazards and ease travel for New Jersey drivers,” Smith said. “These two projects in Ocean County, as well as others approved throughout the Fourth District, will benefit not only the local communities, but also traveling motorists and their passengers hailing from throughout the tri-state area region.” The bill would provide $7 million toward the construction of the 539 overpass, and $1.3 million to redevelop the business district in Point Pleasant Beach Borough. “For the men and women who train on Joint Base MDL, it offers thousands of acres of added training space east of CR 539, with faster and safer routes for military personnel to travel,” Smith said. “The CR-539 project will allow the Army to continue and expand its vital national

security mission to train Army Reservist and Army National Guard Members during peacetime. Additionally, it will allow shore-bound motorists safer travel by keeping military vehicles and convoys off CR 539 and State Highway Route 70, which are currently their common routes to go from one end of the base to the other.” Civilian traffic would ride above on the new overpass on CR 539, while large military tactical vehicles would be able to travel more safely and efficiently below. In addition to roadway safety, Smith said, “The Army told me the proposed overpass is in direct support of its readiness mission to serve the operational capability of the Guard and Reserves from the greater Northeast.” Smith, who represents the majority of JB-MDL, said the 539 overpass project is expected to cost about $10 million to build. His request to the committee would contribute $7 million, with project sponsor Ocean County committed to kick in $2 million, and another $1 million in the bill

via the request of Rep. Kim of the neighboring Third Congressional District. Smith also successfully requested that the Point Pleasant Beach Channel Drive ADA Compliance Upgrade and Surface Revitalization Project be added to the bill. The project would improve safety and ADA accessibility in a five-block shopping and business district by removing and replacing curbing and sidewalks, as well as installing ADA-compliant ramps, driveway aprons and benches, color-contrasting crosswalks and pavement markings, and signage. “Point Pleasant Beach is a favorite destination for travelers from across the state and beyond,” Smith said. “This project will serve both the community and visitors, especially seniors and the disabled, by making pedestrian traffic safer and more accessible.” Smith successfully asked the T&I Committee to fund 80 percent of the project’s anticipated cost of $1,750,000, or $1,399,785, for construction. The Borough would pay the 20 percent local match.

Bill Would Eliminate Pollution In Low-Income Communities Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Congressman A. Donald McEachin (DVA) announced they will be reintroducing the Environmental Justice Legacy Pollution Cleanup Act, a bill aimed at eliminating pollution

that has dispropor tionately har med communities of color, Indigenous communities, and low-income communities for generations. This critical legislation would invest over $200 billion to clean up legacy pollution. This bill will also be co-sponsored by Senators Schatz (D-HI), Smith (D-MN), Durbin (D-IL), Whitehouse (D-RI), Wyden (D-OR), Sanders

(I-VT), Duckworth (D-IL), Markey (DMA), Gillibrand (D-NY), Van Hollen (D-MD), Warren (D-MA), Blumenthal (D-CT), Merkley (D-OR) and Padilla (D-CA). In the United States, pollution is not evenly dist r ibuted. Com munities of color, Indigenous communities, and (Government - See Page 10)

He was later released with an entourage of firefighters welcoming him home. The blaze started out as a brush fire at 5 Airport Road in Lakewood. It was first spotted by a New Jersey Forest Fire Service Observation Tower in Lakewood. It quickly spread to buildings and multiple units responded. It leaped across the Garden State Parkway, closing that road and several others. There were 29 homes with damage to siding, sheds, and other such accessory structures. On March 19, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office determined that the fire was intentionally set. Since then, officials have been hard at work trying to identify a suspect(s).

low-income communities disproportionately bear the burden of high levels of air pollution, contaminated drinking water, and proximity to toxic waste sites. For example, according to reports, African Americans are 54% more likely to live in areas of heavy air pollution, and low income communities are 35% more likely.

Additionally, studies have shown that living near toxic waste sites can lead to higher rates of cancer, greater likelihoods of birth defects and autism, and countless other avoidable illnesses. Three out of five African Americans live close to toxic waste sites, and they are also three times more likely to die prematurely from exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution. There is also compelling evidence from recent scientific research

that communities with higher levels of air pollution have significantly higher levels of coronavirus infections, hospital admissions, and deaths. Many environmental justice communities lack the basic resources most Americans take for granted: one in eight Native Americans lacks reliable access to water, and Black families are twice as likely as white families to live without modern plumbing.

times more likely than white children to have unsafe blood lead levels. The Environmental Justice Legacy Pollution Cleanup Act would: • Provide $10 billion to the EPA Superfund National Priorities List to accelerate the cleanup of toxic sites and help clear the largest backlog of unfunded sites since 2004. • Provide $10 billion to the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund, an investment that would fund the reclamation of thousands of eligible abandoned mine lands sites. • Dedicate $10 billion to the Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Program to remediate abandoned hard rock mines, with priority given to sites located on tribal land. • Provide $3 billion for grants to remediate brownfield sites. Such remediation efforts are a major boon to economically depressed communities, producing roughly $20 in economic benefits for every $1 spent. • Provide $10 billion to the Formerly Used Defense Sites Program and clean up 90% of these sites. The EJLPA also commits $3 billion to the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program, which will remediate tens of thousands of acres of formerly radioactive land and return hundreds of properties back to public use. • Provide $30 billion to replace over 50% of diesel school buses with zero emission school buses in the most disadvantaged school districts. • Commits $25 billion to urban tree planting initiatives, an investment that will plant an estimated 100 million trees with priority given to projects in low-income communities and communities with lower tree canopy cover and higher daytime maximum temperatures. • Inject $45 billion into a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant program to remediate lead-based paint hazards in low income housing, the leading cause of childhood lead poisoning in the United States. This funding would eliminate lead based paint hazards in nearly 4 million low income households. • Provides $1 billion for grants to tribal governments to address housing-related safety hazards. • Provide $45 billion in funding to replace every lead drinking water service line in the country. • Commits $10 billion in funding to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Decentralized Water Systems Program, which will give nonprofits capacity to provide grants to hundreds of thousands of homes to construct or improve individual household water well and wastewater systems. • Provide $3 billion to the Indian Health Service (IHS) to build and renovate sanitation infrastructure, which will bring safe drinking water and adequate sewage systems to every American Indian and Alaskan Native household. • Provide $25 billion to the EPA to address combined sewer overf lows, which will eliminate most overf low problems in economically distressed communities.

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Twenty-four township high school students received $46,000 in scholarships recently from the Manchester Township Educational Foundation. The MTEF is a non-profit community organization that supports the students of Manchester Township public schools with scholarships and school and classroom grants. The Foundation presented $46,000 in scholarship awards to 24 students in the Manchester Township High School Class of 2021 at Senior Awards Night. The scholarships awarded include: • Charles J Hesse III Memorial Scholarship - $10,000 to Nicholas Isphording • The Hesse Family Scholarship - $10,000 to Elizabeth Oliver • Whiting Volunteer First Aid Squad Elsie Layendecker Memorial Scholarship - $10,000 to Naya Darnowski • Whiting Volunteer First Aid Squad Elsie Layendecker Memorial Scholarship - $1000 each to Cassandra Mc Dermott, Morgan Brustman, Helena Staples, Mia Perez • Whiting Volunteer First Aid Squad Elsie Layendecker Memorial Scholarship for Trade School - $1000 to Ryan Luft • MTEF Dr. William E.

Brian Moderack Memorial Scholarship - $500 to Dillon Betts • WWII Veteran Sgt. Walter A Moderack Memorial Scholarship - $1000 to Moon Patel “MTEF would like to thank all of our generous scholarship sponsors for their support of our students year after year,” said MTEF President Jeff DeSimone. DeSimone added, “this year, we especially want to thank Whiting Volunteer First Aid Squad for donating $250,000 to MTEF to provide scholarships to MTHS seniors for many years to come. Whiting First Aid chose to donate the funds to MTEF after the squad was dissolved when Manchester went to a paid EMT squad.” “They asked us to award these scholarships in memory of Elsie Layendecker, a Whiting resident who made a generous bequest to the squad when she died in August of 2018. Ms. Layndecker served in WWII as a Marine Sergeant. She was also a teacher, and this prompted the Squad to remember her by granting scholarships,” DeSimone added.

By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – A friend of a borough family is organizing a fundraiser to help them with their loss and expenses. Christina Celauro of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, organized the GoFundMe campaign for borough resident Terry Gardner. She is trying to assist Gardner’s family with the fi nal expenses. Gardner died on June 5 from injuries she sustained during a May 27 accident. “She was in a horrific accident. God called her home and ended her suffering. Unfortunately, not only has this left her family deeply saddened by the sudden loss but without insurance, it will be a struggle figuring out how they will have the means to afford a proper funeral,” Celauro said. Celauro added that Gardner’s family which includes two small children are dealing with numerous expenses. “Terry did not have much but she was the type of person who always tried to get involved and help people any time she could.”

The accident involved a Jeep Liberty and a BMW near the intersection of Route 70 and Route 547 in Lakehurst, according to Police Chief Matthew Kline. Gardner, who was driving the Jeep Liberty was thrown from it during the accident. She was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. Lifesaving measures were performed and she was in critical condition for days until she succumbed to her injuries. The passenger in the BMW suffered a head injury and also was flown to Jersey Shore University Medical Center. The driver of the BMW had minor injuries and was treated at Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus in Lakewood. Both were released following treatment. The Jeep Liberty ended up in the westbound lane of Route 70 with extensive damage, and the BMW also was also extensively damaged. That vehicle ended up off the road near the entrance to the Gulf station, according to Kline said.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

The Link Between Age-Related Hearing Loss & Cognition

An estimated 48 million Americans have some form of hearing loss according to a John’s Hopkins Study. If left untreated, this common, chronic health challenge can heavily impact physical, mental, social and even financial health. Though most instances of hearing loss are treatable, the NIDCD reports that fewer than 30% of adults ages 70 and older who could be helped with hearing aids use them. Usage drops even lower – to an estimated 16% - among Americans ages 20-69. In a fairly recent longitudinal study of 7385 adults 50 years of older in a community setting in the United Kingdom, the following conclusions were made: • Hearing loss was associated with cognitive impairment, with the association being stronger in moderate to severe hearing loss compared to mild hearing loss.

• The respondents who used hearing aids showed no evidence of an association between hearing loss and cognition. • An indirect association was found between hearing loss and social isolation only in those who did not use hearing aids. The main recommendation is that folks older than 50 years of age should have a complete hearing test to establish a baseline either by primary care physicians, audiologists and/or ENTs. Since a large percentage of PCPs failed to accurately screen for hearing loss, Dr. Izzy strongly recommends having a baseline audiological evaluation performed by a board-certified audiologist. Dr. Izzy has been providing hearing care services for over 30 years and has offices in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting. He can be reached at 732-8183610 or ikirsh@gardenstatehearing.com.

Factors That Contribute To Thyroid Disease

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Many people already know that iodine deficiency is one reason for insufficient thyroid hormone, but you may not realize that much more is at play when it comes to total thyroid gland health. There are a number of minerals that are essential for thyroid activation, for example, selenium and zinc. You don’t hear much about those two, however, a deficiency of either mineral will lead to poor activation of T4 to T3. Do you know what that means? It means that T4 won’t convert to T3, and that would be a type of “hypothyroidism.” Put differently, if you can’t convert the T4 (inactive) to T3 which is active, then you will feel most of the symptoms of hypothyroidism. I discuss this in great detail in my best-selling book entitled, Thyroid Healthy: Lose Weight, Look Beautiful and Live the Life You Imagined. Selenium and zinc are needed for the metabolic pathway that converts T4 to T3, and medications to restore the thyroid hormone never hit the root cause, although they may help if they have T3 in them. But what if you are zinc deficient because you take a drug mugger of zinc, for example, you take famotidine every day for your reflux? Over time, you will likely become zinc deficient. Let’s say you’re zinc deficient, and feeling symptoms of hypothyroidism. Your doctor may see on your labs that

you’re TSH is high, indicating that your thyroid hormones are low. And seeing that, your doctor may now prescribe Synthroid or Levothyroxine for you, which is a T4 drug. But what is going to happen now? Is that useful, do you think? Of course not, in this specific example, the zinc deficiency remains an obstacle to you getting well, and it will continue to prevent your new T4 drug from converting to T3. If you don’t have enough T3, you don’t feel well. In this case, the ideal scenario would be to know this information: To know the connection between zinc and thyroid hormone activation! So, the best resolution would be to recognize that you are taking a strong ‘drug mugger’ of zinc, and restore the missing nutrient. For many people, this is a problem that persists for years and it shouldn’t because zinc levels are easy to test for. One more important point is that you have both regular T3 (which is active, it works!) and you have something called reverse T3 (noted as rT3). Too much rT3 (and not enough active T3) will make you feel hypothyroid as well. It’s a factor that should be considered, and one that is easy to measure with a blood test. If you have further questions refer to my book, Thyroid Healthy, or speak to to your endocrinologist about all the factors that contribute to thyroid disease. If this topic interests you, I have posted a more comprehensive article at my website, suzycohen.com.

FDA Grants Historic Approval For Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment

TOMS RIVER – While other drugs treat symptoms of Alzheimer’s, the new medicine, called Aduhelm, is the first to attack what some believe is an underlying cause of the disease and slow cognitive decline. It does so by eliminating clumps of a toxic protein believed to destroy neurons and cause dementia. Aduhelm is not a cure for Alzheimer’s, and it doesn’t reverse the

disease’s progression. “This historic moment is the culmination of more than a decade of groundbreaking research in the complex field of Alzheimer’s disease,” Biogen CEO Michel Vounatsos said in a statement. “We believe this first-inclass medicine will transform the treatment of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and spark continuous innovation in the

years to come.” To many patients and their caregivers, Aduhelm’s approval provides hope for a better life, despite the drug’s limitations. Alzheimer’s affects nearly 6 million people in the U.S. Current medicines for the disease have only short-term effects on symptoms and bring side effects that make them unusable for some patients.

Aduhelm offers the promise of treating the root cause of the disease. The treatment, administered intravenously once a month, is approved for all patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Clinical trials tested it only in patients with early-stage Alzheimer’s who have had a PET scan confirming the presence of amyloid in their brains. This approval is significant in many ways. Aduhelm is the first novel therapy approved for Alzheimer’s disease since 2003. Perhaps more significantly, Aduhelm is the first treatment directed at the underlying pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease, the presence of amyloid beta plaques in the brain. The clinical trials for Aduhelm were the first to show that a reduction in these plaques—a hallmark finding in the brain of patients with Alzheimer’s—is expected to lead to a reduction in the clinical decline of this devastating form of dementia. Locally, Advanced Memory Research Institute of NJ, located in Toms River, NJ was the leading center in the Northeast for the aducanumab trials. AMRI is the leading center on all cutting-edge research for the region. If you would like to learn more about this new drug or learn more about Alzheimer’s disease, contact them at 732341-9500 or at amrinj.com Alzheimer’s disease affects as many as 5 million Americans and more than 26 million people worldwide

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Consumer Rights And Data Breach

Michael J. Deem, Esq.

Protecting Yourself From Identify Theft

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea & Associates The recent data breach by Equifax meant that sensitive personal information for 145 million Americans was potentially exposed, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers. This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft. Monitor your Account Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution. Review Credit Reports By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). You can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com, by phone or mail. Any site other than annualcreditreport. com is not part of the legally mandated free annual credit report program. Make

sure you spell the annualcreditreport.com domain name correctly and avoid lookalike scam sites. Place a Freeze A credit freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit file and others from opening accounts in your name. A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account. Set a fraud alert! A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free. You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

Data Released On COVID-19 Cases Among Vaccinated

NEW JERSEY – The Department of Health has identified 1,319 COVID-19 breakthrough cases which represents .06 percent of the 2.2 million people fully vaccinated in the first four months (December 2020 through April 2021) of New Jersey’s COVID-19 vaccination program. The fact that 99.94 percent of individuals vaccinated did not test positive for COVID-19 after vaccination demonstrates that breakthrough infections are extremely rare. “COVID-19 vaccines are a critical tool to bring the pandemic under control. However, no vaccines are 100 percent effective at preventing illness, so some cases among fully vaccinated individuals are expected,” said Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. As expected, people who were fully vaccinated had less severe illness demonstrated

by a small number of hospitalizations and deaths. The Department found that 92 individuals with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection were hospitalized, however only 30 were reported as related to COVID-19 illness. There were 14 deaths among individuals with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection, however only 7 were reported to be related to COVID-19. “This data shows us overwhelmingly that these vaccines work,” Commissioner Persichilli said. “It also suggests the COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the U.S. offer protection against most COVID-19 variants that are circulating. However, variants circulating in the state may cause some of the breakthrough cases.” The 1,319 breakthrough cases represent 0.06 percent of the 2.2 million individuals

who were fully vaccinated between the start of the state’s vaccination program on December 15, 2020 and April 23, 2021. Of 92 individuals hospitalized, which represents 0.004 percent of those fully vaccinated, 30 of the hospitalizations were COVID-19 related and 62 were hospitalized for other illnesses. Of those 30 individuals hospitalized related to COVID-19, 20 had underlying conditions. Nearly three-quarters of those hospitalized—71 percent--were 65 years or older (37 percent were 80 years or older) and 59 percent were female. The 14 deaths represent 0.0006 percent of the 2.2 million fully vaccinated or 1 percent of the total number of the 1,300 breakthrough cases. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention asks states to report only breakthrough cases that were hospitalized or who died and posts those numbers online. A study by two researchers at the Hackensack Meridian Health network and its Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) found just 138 COVID-19 positive cases among 26,000 vaccinated health care workers, of whom none became seriously ill. Authors Dr. Barry Kreiswirth of the CDI and Dr. David Chow at the Hackensack Meridian Health Biorepository found vaccination is working, across the board, and among all the known variants of concern identified. The vaccine is not only driving down the number of cases, but it is also mitigating the worst effects of the virus among those few who do get infected.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Colon Cancer Is On The Rise In Young People

TOMS RIVER – The number of Americans under the age of 50 being diagnosed with colorectal cancer is increasing at an alarming rate, according to a new study published by the American Cancer Society (ACS). Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. for men and women combined. Unfortunately, national statistics report that only about 60 percent of older adults who should be screened are getting tested. “Colorectal cancer screening saves lives,” said Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer Daniel Regenye. “Colon cancer is not restricted to older adults and the data shows not enough people are getting screened.” New recommendations by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) – a medical panel formed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - endeavor to offset what experts call a distressing development in American health. A rising number of young people are getting diagnosed with, and dying from, colorectal cancer (CRC). Of the roughly 148,000 individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2020, about 18,000 of those cases will be young people. While the majority of young-onset CRC diagnoses and deaths occur in persons 45 to 49, the rate of increase in young-onset CRC is actually steepest in the very youngest patients. Colon cancer incidence is increasing by 2 percent per year in 20 to 29-yearolds and rectal cancer incidence is increasing by 3.2 percent per year in 20 to 29-year-olds and 30 to 39-year-olds. And the trend seems to have no end in sight, as the rate of new colorectal cancer cases in young patients is expected to double by 2030.

However, the good news is that colon cancer remains one of the most treatable, even curable cancers, when caught at early stages. But the pandemic became a huge obstacle for many Americans in need of health screenings and other medical care. “A lot of people simply couldn’t pursue important health screenings and other medical issues due to the pandemic,” stated Ocean County Commissioner Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Additionally, cancer screenings may not have been very high on the priority list especially if an individual feels young and healthy. But the OCHD is encouraging these individuals and others to not take their health for granted and should speak with a healthcare provider about getting screened and prevention.” For years prior, CRC screening was not generally recommended for the below-50 crowd. This led to potentially vulnerable, or even sick adults putting off testing thinking their symptoms did not rise to the level of firm diagnosis. “Because of this lack of awareness, deadly, cancerous growths remained undetected for too long,” Regenye added. “And now, young patients are suffering from more advanced, harder to treat cancers.” Regenye also stressed that ultimately people of all ages need to avoid unhealthy lifestyle choices that lead to the risk of cancer such as excess weight and obesity, lack of exercise, and diets higher in meats and lower in fruits and vegetables. The USPSTF recommendation means that insurers will be required to cover preventive procedures such as colonoscopies and stool tests designed to detect colon cancer in early stages. To learn more about the colon cancer and prevention, visit ochd.org or cancer.org.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Tips For Transitioning To Life After The Pandemic

By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – As residents in Ocean County and statewide get closer to returning to a “pre-pandemic normal” life, many may feel increased stress and anxiety about going back to the way things were before the unprecedented health crisis. About 50 percent of adults said they feel uncomfortable returning to in-person interactions when the pandemic ends, according to a recent survey by the American Psychological Association (APA). In addition, about 48 percent of those who received the COVID-19 vaccine said they feel the same way. “The lives we got used to the past year are now changing,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer. “Whether you have family members going back to school or work, or if you’re heading back to on-site work yourself, a period of emotional adjustment may be needed while people settle back in.” “We’ve all been waiting a long time for things to return to the way we knew them before the pandemic,” said Ocean County Commissioner Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “But getting back to that sense of normalcy will be a unique and personal experience for each of us so we should try and be considerate of that in our daily dealings with family, friends, neighbors and colleagues.” The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) states how social anxiety is more acute and common during COVID. With most people having to stay home, social interactions were avoided for the past year. Although guidelines are constantly changing and businesses are reopening, many are still concerned and carrying thoughts of uncertainty. A recent study in April found that 10.8 percent of people met the diagnostic criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after returning to work, stated in an OCHD press release. The OCHD have listed out numerous tips on how to reduce this stress and to become prepared for what the future holds: Reduce Anxiety by Creating a New Normal: Fortunately, there are some steps you can take provided by the Boston University Psychotherapy and Emotion Research Center to help dial down reentry stress, whether or not you are vaccinated. Coming up with a new routine to replace your

pandemic rituals (such as a weekly video conference call with friends) is a key way to introduce some level of predictability into post-pandemic life. That’s because the routines of daily life have a big impact on how we view the world. Studies suggest having a routine was strongly associated with the feeling of living a meaningful life. So go ahead and commit to a weekly outdoor workout or walk with a friend. But just because you adopt new rituals doesn’t mean you have to toss out habits you’ve acquired during the pandemic, particularly if they feel beneficial. Make a Leap Into the Future: Think about making travel plans. Arranging future travel plans will give you a sense of positivity. Plus, scheduling concrete experiences will ensure that you move forward even if it feels scary. Forcing yourself into situations that may make you anxious, even once it’s safe to do so, can be the best way to overcome those anxieties. Work Within Your Comfort Zone: Rather than going to a movie theater or eating indoors at a restaurant, you may want to try outdoor socializing with a small group of vaccinated people. In other words, take it slow. If it makes you feel safer to wear a mask, even when you’re with a vaccinated group, do it. Masks will likely be a part of life moving forward anyway, especially during cold and flu season. But Push Your Limits a Bit: For people with a preexisting social anxiety disorder, more than a year of lockdowns and physical distancing has likely taken a toll and perhaps exacerbated anxious tendencies. But it’s crucial for people with social anxiety to fight the urge to remain isolated. If you feel like you need extra support, a therapist may help. Treat Yourself With Love: Regenye went on to say that you need to be kind to yourself as life begins to return to its pre-pandemic rhythms. Take it slow and remember it’s ok to have these feelings. But if you’re feeling overwhelmed or depressed don’t hesitate and reach out to your healthcare provider. To learn more about pandemic stress and anxiety, visit ochd.org or cdc.gov.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE For A Higher Level Of Post-Acute Care, Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital Is Available To You

By Bob Vosseller The professional and friendly staff at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Toms River (EHTR) want to remind the community that comprehensive rehabilitation services are available to them. Marketing Coordinator, Solangie Pabon, stressed this message by explaining that Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital provides state-of-the-art rehabilitative care to patients recovering from a variety of illnesses and injuries. This includes, but is not limited to, stroke, hip fractures, amputations, neurological conditions, orthopedic, cardiac, brain injury, spinal cord, pulmonary and diabetic disorders. “We provide a true interdisciplinary team approach to rehabilitative services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. Our advanced programs incorporate the latest technologies, treatments and resources available to patients throughout the region,” Pabon said. Encompass Health is not a subacute rehab/nursing home, but a full-service specialty acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital. With a 7,000 square foot therapy gym, the option of transitional living in the new Activities of

Daily Living Suite, access to over 150 credentialed specialty physicians, forty six registered nurses certified in rehabilitation as well as therapists with specialized training in the majority of our clinical programs and a brand new three chair inpatient hemodialysis suite opening in the near future, Encompass Health Toms River offers the community a true comprehensive rehabilitation stay and so much more! “If my father or mother had a stroke, I would want them to go to a hospital for their rehabilitation, as opposed to a subacute nursing home. Clinically, there are many differences between acute and subacute rehabilitation.” Regarding stroke patients, Encompass Health Toms River is certified by The Joint Commission in Stroke Rehabilitation. It is one of the most exceptional clinical programs at this hospital. When a patient is admitted to Encompass Health, they receive three sessions of therapy daily which are tailored to their individual needs. The patients are overseen by our own team of physicians as well as registered nurses round-the-clock. We have a Pharmacy in house, a strong Case Management team and a resourceful Infection Prevention Registered Nurse.

Pictured is the main entrance and reception space at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital, located at 14 Hospital Drive, Toms River. The hospital also has registered dieticians and a comprehensive respiratory therapy team. “A stroke patient has a short window of time to have a positive recovery. Encompass Health Toms River provides an all-inclusive program for this type of patient so that they can safely return home as independently as possible. The average length of stay for a stroke patient at the hospital is between 14 to 21 days.” Pabon added. When you are a patient in an acute care hospital, a case manager or a social worker will discuss a discharge plan and suggest you go to rehab, if medically indicated. Families should inquire if the suggested rehab is in a subacute nursing home or a rehabilitation hospital. There

Here is a semiprivate roo m (l ef t) and t h e therapy gym (below).

are many differences between the two levels of care, of which patients and families are frequently unaware. An inpatient acute rehabilitation hospital will give the patient the greatest dose of therapy, allowing them to perform functional tasks in a setting that motivates them to recover. In acute rehabilitation, the average patient’s length of stay is 13.2 days or less. The goal of acute inpatient rehabilitation is to discharge the patient home and we are pleased to say that more than 80% of our patients return home. This is not the case for subacute nursing homes. Additionally, at Encompass Health, frequent administrative rounding as well as hourly rounding by the clinical team, is a hard-wired process. We know our patients! Encompass Health wants every patient to be served at the right level of care at the right time during their recovery. If your loved one is hospitalized and is being told that they cannot tolerate acute inpatient rehabilitation, please remember that you have a choice for where your rehabilitation will occur. If you are or declining at home, patients and healthcare providers can request an admission assessment to see if our hospital is the right plan for regaining independence and you can be admitted directly from home. Please contact our Admissions Office at

732-505-5064 for a free evaluation by a Rehabilitation Liaison Nurse. Medicare requires that every patient is informed about their healthcare options so that they know that they have the right to choose their rehabilitation provider. “For 13 of the past 14 years, Encompass Health Toms River has been recognized as one of the top rehabilitation hospitals in the United States for clinical outcomes by Uniform Data System (UDS). We want patients in the community to have the opportunity to experience the highest level of post-acute services available to them,” the CEO, Patty Ostaszewski, added. “Having an acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital in this community is important because we have so many patients that can benefit from rehab. They do not know the difference in the levels of post-acute healthcare. Educating the community about their options can help patients and families make informed decisions. Often the decision is made for them and that is one of our concerns,” said Dr. Padma Adusumilli, Medical Director. She added, “Extensive research

studies confirm that some diagnoses such as strokes and hip fractures recover much better in an acute rehabilitation setting, as opposed to a subacute rehab/nursing home environment.” Encompass Health has so many wonderful clinical programs to offer the community. We look forward to sharing accurate information to help the public make informed decisions when the need arises. We will be introducing our newly renovated hospital during National Rehab Week in September 2021. We welcome the community to join us on this special event. We are excited that the quality of our hospital environment now matches the high quality of patient care provided by our exceptional team. For more information on this event or to register, please email solangie.pabon@encom passhealth.com. Encompass Health is located at 14 Hospital Drive in Toms River. You are welcome to come for a visit. Please call 732-244-3100 to schedule a tour or, for more information on our hospital, programs and services please visit us on the web at encompass health.com/tomsriverrehab.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jun 19 - jun 25 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might need all the energy you can muster to face the busy week ahead. Your financial plans aren’t written in stone, so remain flexible and objective. Rid yourself of obligations that hold you back. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep calm and carry on. Numerous tensions might come to a peak over the next few days, but that could give you a chance to make a breakthrough. Be prepared to take advantage of opportunities for extra freedoms. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Emphasize intellectual achievements and excellent judgment in the second half of the week. Right now, you might draw a blank if you try to focus on something that’s contrary to your instincts. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Sometimes the rewards don’t match your investment of time and effort. By the end of the week, you should be able to sift the wheat from the chaff and realize which options are the most profitable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Understand what you need to do to stay productive. Don’t try to iron out misunderstandings today because tensions could escalate. Wait until later in the week to offer apologies, mend fences or ask for favors. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Relationships might be in a muddle today and tomorrow, but later in the week you’ll likely be able to communicate with clarity. Someone worthwhile may offer you an opportunity for advancement or some sage advice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Later this week, you could have an opportunity to shine, possibly by learning something of value that helps you advance your career. As the week begins, concentrate on details that could be overlooked. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Living through historically trying times may accelerate your desire to adapt to change. Something could happen that shatters illusions, or you may choose to dispose of worn-out patterns during the upcoming week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be proud of your successes even if family members seem to turn a blind eye to them. In the week ahead, your work or health could reach a turning point. When you begin a new phase, you can clean the slate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may benefit substantially in the upcoming week from your ability to communicate clearly. A financial obligation may change or be terminated, which can leave you free to focus on improving your net worth. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may frequently err on the side of caution, but you might change your tune this week. Some of the structures you have built in your life may need to come down, offering you a chance to build something better. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Worry and doubt are really a misuse of imagination. Make positive changes by monitoring your thought processes in the week to come. As you learn to build your internal confidence, you’ll find that anxieties may lessen.
