FROM THE EDITOR we are constantly being besieged by news of the toll that the Coronavirus is wreaking upon us and people around the world. we may be scared, or worried, or angry, or depressed—any or all of these feelings. But, deep in our hearts and minds, I think we know that we will get through this crisis. we will follow the mandates that the government has imposed. we will take care of ourselves—eat well, keep active physically and mentally, get enough sleep. we will reach out to our neighbors to offer support. we will stay connected with family and friends, be it by phone, text, or video chats. and when we emerge on the other side of this pandemic, we will be stronger, kinder, and more appreciative of the “little” things that surround us. we will get through this together!

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT

(written on April 9, 2020)

Dear Residents of Four Seasons, These are dangerous times. We are senior citizens and our health is in jeopardy. To curb this virus there

are things we must do as a country and therefore within our community. “Wash your hands for 20 seconds, multiple times a day. Distance yourself 6-8 feet away from others. Stay

home. If you must leave your home for essential reasons, wear a mask or cloth covering on your face. Cough or sneeze into your elbow and not your hands. Because the virus can remain on your food for up to three days, wash fresh vegetables in soap and water. Stay home. Cancel elective dental, medical, recreational, and non-essential appointments. Wipe down your countertops, doorknobs, stairway railings, and light switches once every 2-3 days. When possible buy 60-90-day supplies of medications, not because you will run out but to avoid going to crowded public places. Stay home. Realize that take-out food may be a slightly higher risk than eating your home-cooked food. It is good to walk, bike or jog but only if you are maintaining a six-eight-foot distance from others. Don’t go to crowded places, use more isolated paths. Stay home. Don’t interact with your pets if you think you may have symptoms concerning COVID-19. Participate in “social distancing” to blunt the spread of the virus. Let’s NOT be social--the virus doesn’t spread itself--people spread it. Now is the time for you to do your part to stay home to FLATTEN THE CURVE.” *

These comments and facts are being shared with us daily. This virus has our government making changes often, sometimes hourly. Our state has closed-down nearly all businesses. The situation is serious, and for that reason and many others not listed, the Board is dedicated to carrying out its responsibility to do what is best for our community. We must protect our residents as best as possible. And unfortunately, in order to do so, we have had to close-down all amenities. We realize that this is an inconvenience to you (and us), but we mustpracticesacrificeandpatience.Noneofuslikefollowingthegovernor’sstrictmandates,includinghavingto secure social distancing measures. Complying with these measures means keeping residents from enjoying our amenities, but in the interest of protecting everyone living in our 1319 homes, we must.

Please take a minute to watch our governor on television speak about the number of New Jersey Covid-19 illnessesandhorrificallythenumberofNewJersyanswhohavediedthusfar.Thenumbersarestaggeringandsadly still growing. Keeping our Activity Center, Pools, Tennis Courts, Garden Center, Golf Course, Clubhouse, and Gymnasium closed, although painful for many of us, just might help us not become one of New Jersey’s statistics. We hope you understand our actions, but we must comply even if you disagree.

Please remain safe and healthy. Updates will continue to be communicated through our channel 77, on our www.fourseasonsatlakewood.com website, printed in our Four Seasons Times, and periodically on ROBO calls. Our First Service Management team is available by phone and is willing to assist in whatever manner possible.Ourofficenumberis:732-477-0588.FirstServiceCustomerCarenumberis:800-870-0010.

Thank you, Brenda Page, President

CommitteesARCHITECTURAL CONTROL

COMMITTEE (ACC) We have all been going through some very unusual

times due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Here in our community, for the health and safety

of our residents, the buildings have been closed and all activities have been suspended. This situation has also affected theArchitecturalControlCommittee.We have not been able to have our regular meetings and perform the inspections required for the standard ModificationRequeststhathavebeensubmitted.Dur-ing the normal pre-inspection process, two Commit-tee members meet with the resident and discuss the modificationandlookattheareawheretheworkistobe done. Since this requires us to be in relatively close contact, in order to comply with the Federal and State mandates of social distancing, it has been decided to suspend the process.

The Committee is trying to accommodate some of the Fast-Track items submitted that do not require the Committee member to approach a house or condo.

The ACC does not want our residents to give up on the improvements to their homes. If you have plans tosubmitModificationRequestForms,pleasedoso.When this health issue passes and the restrictions are lifted, we will be working very hard to get caught up on the backlog of requests. You can be assured that all the Committee members will be doing their best to get back to normal as quickly as possible so that our com-munity will continue to be a wonderful place to live.

COMMITTEE

ThehorrificimpactoftheCOVID-19outbreakon country, state, and our community is having a drasticaffectonourlives.Listingtheamenitiesnolonger available to our residents would be repetitive. Check Channel 77 or our community’s website (www.fourseasonsatlakewood.net)forspecifics.

Work on 2020 projects is ongoing. Inspection of sections of roads and streets that have not been repaved in prior phases has been completed. With the exception of two streets, where minor repairs are required, no major repaving will be necessary this year. This will beasignificantfinancialsavingstothecommunity.

SpecificationsforreplacingtheHVACsystemandflooringaroundtheindoorpooliscompleted.Bidsfor the work will be solicited, and work will begin as soon as possible. Because the pool will be closed dur-ing the renovations, the plan is to do work in both the Ladies’ and Men’s bathrooms at the same time. When this work is completed, all bathrooms in the Activity Center and the Clubhouse will have been renovated.

Repairing and renovating the Morningside Court Gazebo is nearing completion. Columns were re-placed; new roof support beams were installed; to provide safety measures, new railings were also installed; and new netting to prevent animal nesting will be provided. Repainting the furniture will also be part of the project. We estimated that all work would have been completed in April, weather permitting. A preliminary inspection of the Gazebo located on Sum-merfieldDriveandadjacenttothe8thHoleontheGolfCourse was completed. It appears that roof repair is the primary work required at this present time. Final evaluation will be completed over the next few weeks.

Safety is always a major concern. Several sec-tions of the Blue Slate Stone that is to the rear of the Clubhouse will be removed and replaced with concrete inordertoremovetrippinghazards.Thesespecificwalking areas, where work is required, lead to the pool, bathrooms and seating section on the “upper” deck.

Planned repairs to the Vita Path, various walk-ways, and residential sidewalks will be performed on a timely basis. Residents, please submit Work Order Forms to report any tripping hazards.

We have planned to purchase new awnings for the outdoor poolside pergolas. We also plan to order lounge chairs and dining chairs and tables.

Due to our current Coronavirus crisis, the Indoor Pool will remain closed until further notice. The Outdoor Pool is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend, May 23rd, but that is dependent on the status of the current restrictions, if any. A complete summer schedule will be posted on Channel 77 and our website as soon as the virus crisis is resolved.

We currently have two pool party functions sched-uled for this summer: the Pool Committee party on July 24th, 5-9 PM and the Rock ‘n Roll Club on August 28th, also 5- 9 PM. Both are open to all residents. Other activities will be posted on Channel 77 and our website as information becomes available.

We are constantly reminded of the steps and protocols we should follow to avoid contracting the virus. Our health and lives depend on following these recommendations. Let’s do it!

LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE As I write this article, spring has

arrived. The daffodils are blooming;thefirstcherrytreesareenrobedinpink;the forsythias, are in full bloom; and the robins and wild turkeys are sending melodious greetings from my back yard.

(OK, the turkeys not so melodious.) Our landscaper has begun the transformation

process from tired end-of-winter to fresh and vibrant beginning-of-spring:applicationofthefirstfertilizerand crabgrass pre-emergent herbicide to our lawns and definitionandmulchingofallcommonareabeds.Thegreening of the grass can already be detected as each rain shower passes through.

Our irrigation contractor has begun the digging-out of sprinkler heads and checking that all are in working order. Remember to keep an eye on your grass through thestiflingheatofsummer.Ifyouseebrowninggrass,check that those sprinklers are still working by setting outpieplatesnearthesprinklers.Iftheyfillwithwater,you know the sprinklers are working.

Suzanne Mars, the Landscape Committee’s Board of Trustee liaison, has asked me to address the mean-ings of the varied coloredflags periodically placedon our lawns by various contractors, and I am glad to do so.

The landscaper has three different coloredflagsthatheuses. Oneisawhiteflagwithgreen“pesti-cide” word and child/pet symbol on it. The meaning is pretty self-explanatory: “a pesticide/herbicide has been spread on the lawn; for their safety, keep children and petsoffthelawn.”Theflagsshouldremaininplacefor72hours.TurfMasterswillretrieveallflags.

Thesecondisagreenflagandisaninstructionforthe landscape crew: “Stay away from this area – the groundistoowet.”Theflagwillremainforaslongas it is needed and will be retrieved by Turf Masters when the need no longer exists.

The third is a pinkflagwhich is for useby thehomeowner, available by requesting it from the Man-agementOffice.Thisflagalsoinstructsthelandscapecrew to stay away from an area for whatever reason determined by the homeowner - “the ground is too wet,” “the homeowner has just planted grass seed,” etc.TheflagisremovedandreturnedtotheManage-mentOfficebythehomeownerwhenthehomeownerdecides it is no longer needed.

Finally, just before fall seeding, the irrigation crew placesanycolor(white,pinkorgreen,usually)flagsto mark the location of sprinkler heads so that the core

aeration seeding machines can avoid damaging them. Theseflagsremainuntilseedingiscompleted.TurfMasterswillthenretrievetheflags.

Ofcourse,therearealsoutilitycompanyflagsforwhich landscape contractors are not responsible. These arebrightgreenflagswiththeword“sewer”writteninblackthatmarksewerlines,brightredflagswiththe word “electric” written in black that mark electric lines,brightblueflagswiththeword“water”writteninblackthatmarkwaterlines,andbrightyellowflagswith black markings and phone number to call should one suspect a gas leak that mark natural gas lines. All oftheseflagsshouldremainuntilthereasonsfortheflagmarkingsnolongerexistandshouldberemovedby whoever asked for them to be placed.

So long for now. Enjoy spring by taking solo or safe-distancing walks. I pray we all STAY SAFE.

WEBSITE USAGE depends on a NEED. The public sector usage is quite high. It is most likely due to an interest in our adult community and what it has to offer.Itmostprobablyisthereasonforthegoodresaleof homes. It may also be the result of general interest, since many of the viewers are from other states and even from outside the USA. The information avail-able in the private section not only describes the many amenities and activities but provides information on “What’s Nearby?”; restaurants, recreation facilities, health services, and many other needs required for daily living.

One interesting fact on website access is that since its inception, the golf information available under the Amenities tab has been accessed over 4,000 times, far exceeding any other interests. If you have some time, explore the website.—you might learn something about our community that you never knew!

CLUBWe sincerely hope that

you are all safe and well during this crisis. It is times like these when we all seem to pull together. Once life is back to normal, it is my hope that we can continue

this feeling of camaraderie. For our March event, a wonderful singer named

JoAnn Roberts was going to perform for us. As the event was cancelled, we were able to reschedule JoAnn for our November meeting.

In April, Alfredo da Cunha, keyboardist, was go-ing to entertain us with dinner music followed by a singing performance. We’re looking into rescheduling Alfredo in the future.

It is our hope that we can resume our monthly events in May. *The Steve Berger Duo is scheduled to appear on May 12th. They have performed at Four Seasons in the past and were well-received. We wel-come them back.

Stay safe and be well. Ciao!Phyllis Guida

THE MEN’S CLUB OF FOUR SEASONS

The Men’s Club sponsored Bobby Darin concert trip, scheduled for April 25th at Ocean County Col-lege, has been cancelled. If you purchased tickets at the March 9th ticket sale or from the Activity Desk, refunds will be available once the Clubhouse reopens. Watch for a refund announcement on the Channel 77 scroll or on our website, www.fourseasonsatlake-wood.net. (The concert has been rescheduled for a future date, but the Men’s Club will not be sponsoring it. Visit the college’s website if you are interested in attending.}

Another Men’s Club event was to attend a Blue-Claws game on June 18th (ticket sale was planned for June 8th). Whether this event will come to be is “to be determined.” The same goes for whether or not the Men’s Club will be selling tickets for the game on August 8th.

Just a few more reasons to hope this virus and its disruptions end soon!

WOMEN'S CLUB "Tough times don't last. Tough people

do."~Robert H. Shuller

As I write this article, we are still in the throes of the Corona virus. I can only hope that by the time you read this, things will have reached some reso-lution. But if not, remember that we are all strong women and we will survive this crisis. I am sure we are all following the guidelines by staying home and only going out when absolutely necessary. The more everyone abides by the rules, the faster we can get on with our normal lives.

Of course, there have been no events about which to report; however, we will be rescheduling our Spring Luncheon and will let you know more about it as soon as we set a date. We probably will reschedule the Card Party too, but if the new date is not convenient for you, you can get your check back. In the meantime, if you would like, please order from Jersey Mike’s as they were to be catering the Card Party.

On a sad note, we have lost one of our very hard-working Board members; Regina Schneider passed away after a long illness. We are planning a Food Drive in her memory. Hopefully, it will take place in November, in time for the holidays.

We hope you all stay well and that we can all be together in the very near future.

WOMEN’S CLUB

"Tis the last rose of summer,Left blooming alone;All her lovely companionsAre faded and gone." ~ Thomas Moore, “The Last Days of Summer”

don't feel like the last rose of summer…come and join the woman's Club where you will meet many friends and have ability to take advantage of what the club has to offer.

we meet on the first Friday of the month and when you attend, not only will you start with a delicious breakfast consisting of bagels, muffins, cheese, fruit, coffee, tea, andoften special surprises, but you will enjoy some form of entertainment or enlightening experience. what more can you get for the price of $10.00 as dues?

As an example, in August, the entertainment was the NJ Cameo Club. This exclusive Club is comprised of women who were all in the Miss Senior New Jersey Pageant. In order to participate in the pageant, you must be at least 60 years old and have a special talent. The lovely women who came to entertain us ranged in age from 60 to 95! (See Photo Album)

On Friday September 6th, a Tea Party will be held. Ticket sales were held in august, so I hope you bought yours and will be joining us. we will be going for lunch and tea at either 11:30 am or 3:00 pm. we've done this before, and members enjoyed it so much that they have asked for a “repeat performance”—and we listened!

In October we will be hearing from the Lakewood Police at our regular meeting. The subject will be about many new scams out there and most importantly, how to avoid them.

In November we have our elections. and December is the time for our Annual Holiday Party. This year, the party is being held at the Ramada Inn and will feature a DJ. More information will be forthcoming.

Just a reminder--we need to recruit some new people for the Hospitality Committee.These are the women who come early each month to prepare and set up the breakfast that we all enjoy. The same people have been doing all of the work that we all benefit from, so we are asking for additional volunteers.

well, that’s about all for now….we hope to see you at the Tea Party and all of our meetings and events. Arlene Feldman...

A Veteran's Viewpoint by Lt Col (Retired) Gale Gundersdorff

A VETERAN’S VIEWPOINT by Gale Gundersdorff

November has two important holidays for me--Veterans Day and Thanksgiving. When I was on active duty, Veterans Day meant I could stay home and relax only some of the time. other times, it meant honoring veterans by participating in ceremonies or other activities.

I’m not complaining. I was single and married to the Army. I volunteered for duty so that other soldiers with families could spend time home. It’s that simple. Few peoplereally think about troops stationed elsewhere unless they have loved ones in the military and/or not present. Yes, I volunteered for service; after Viet Nam, there was no more draft.

After I retired, I started riding my motorcycle in New York City’s Veterans Day Parade to honor all veterans and ride beside my brothers and sisters. It means a lot to me to feel the love from parade participants and viewers; to feel the camaraderie of my fellow veterans and feel that I’m in a place where I belong, and to be part of something that’s bigger than myself. I’ll ride again this year, regardless of the weather.

My last four years of service were supposed to be quiet. I went to South Korea for 17 months (January 2000 through May 2001) as an Eighth US Army Public Affairs Planner, supporting eighth army, US Forces Korea and the Republic of korea Forces in training events. I returned to the United States in June 2001 to become a Personnel Planner for US Third Army, Fort McPherson, atlanta, Ga. I was taking over Bright Star, a coalition exercise we conduct with the egyptians on the odd years.

I was just settling into the area and my job when my aunt passed on September 10, 2001. when I called my sister the next morning to see about funeral plans, she was in a panic and asked if I had a TV at work. I said told her my boss had one in her office and she told me to turn it on because “they” bombed the World Trade Center. I asked her who “they” was, and she rushed me off the phone to turn the TV on instead. Now, I was concerned since Third Army’s area of responsibility is the Middle East and the Horn of Africa. I called out to my fellow workers and we turned on the TV in time to see the first tower in flames. we watched in disbelief as the second plane hit. word spread fast throughout the headquarters and we had no doubt this was something big; an ominous feeling spread throughout the headquarters, but especially with members of theCommanding General’s Planning Committee, of which I was a member.

By November 24, 2001, we deployed to Camp doha, kuwait. we were allowed to spend Thanksgiving at our duty station; so once again, I missed being with my family. I deployed with the rest of the headquarters staff and continued planning operations in the Middle East. I also found out I was selected for promotion to lieutenant colonel and I had a low sequence number. That meant that I would be promoted by January 1, 2002 while I was deployed. I began looking for another position in my rank and returned to the headquarters in atlanta, Ga. I wound up working for the operations director as his executive officer until my orders came through to make me a public affairs officer permanently. It took almost 10 months, but in the meantime, I pushed incoming soldiers forward and continued in my new position.

I missed two more Thanksgiving dinners (2002, 2003) and decided I would retire. Many friends were doing multiple tours in the Middle East but I wanted to live to actually

After attending my Adjutant Gen-eral’s Corps Officer Basic Course (AGOBC) and airborne training, I shipped out for Germany in July 1985. I had requested an overseas assignment and was happy I received the typical three-year assignment.

I spent half my time in Frankfurt Military Com-munity’s Camp King, Oberursel, assigned to Headquar-ters, 4th Transportation Command’s Administrative Services Division. I became acting chief until an AG major arrived. As a second lieutenant, I was Chief, Administrative Support Branch.

My job included managing the command’s Distri-bution Center (4th TRANSCOM had supporting units throughout Germany and Western Europe), unit post officeboxes,thecommand’spublications(reviewing,revising, and approvingfinal publication), and thecommand’s athletic and recreational (A&R) program. Ihadamixedstaffofenlistedclerksandtransporters.We were a busy branch.

My primary challenges included streamlining op-erations (A&R trophies for annual competitions) and revising command publications. I had a petty cash fund that I used to purchase trophies almost monthly, which meant my folks spent a lot of time running around. I checked into contracting trophies annually instead of monthly, even though no one in headquarters seemed to think it could be done.

So,IvisitedtheContractingOfficeandspokewithsomeone in charge about the requirements. I collected the information necessary by copying trophies out of catalogs,providingthespecifications,suchasheight,eventtype,whetherIneededfirst,second,thirdplacetrophies and delivery date. I provided expenditures for trophies, and provided three competitors’ names locally, and then sent the contract request to the Con-tractingOfficefordistributiontolocalvendors,witha deadline for bids.

I managed to successfully acquire and execute the contract, becoming the command’s subject matter expert (SME)! The vendor who received the contract delivered all the trophies, including generic placards onthespecifiedtrophies,forthenextyear.Ialsoman-aged to increase productivity in my branch. I never let anyone tell me something couldn’t be done unless I tried it myself.

After 18 months and a promotion at Camp King, Oberursel (part of Frankfurt Military Community), I was reassigned to Pioneer Kaserne in the Hanau Mili-tary Community. I became the Chief, Personnel Ac-tions Division under the older system when personnel

service companies were commanded by an Adjutant Generals (AG) Corps Lieutenant Colonel. I supervised three branches: personnel actions, enlisted promotions, and enlisted career management (eligibility for schools and anything involving career progression).

I hit the ground running since our company was a V Corps asset but supported 3rd Armored Division (Elvis Presley’s unit) and outlying smaller kasernes. In1986,wewerestillgoingtothefieldtosupportthedivision and testing new personnel equipment. It was the Cold War and we conducted our annual coalition exercise, Return of Forces to Germany, also known as REFORGER.

For thefirst twoweeks, I observedmy soldiers(supervisors and subordinates) in all three sections. I askedmyseniornoncommissionedofficerincharge(NCOIC) so many questions, I probably became an annoyance. I learned atOfficerCandidateSchool,however, that a lieutenant was only as good as the NCOICwhotrainedhim/her.Wehadanopenofficein between Personnel Actions/Enlisted Career Manage-ment and Enlisted Promotions. I walked around the sectionsandlookedintothefilecabinetseachofmysubordinates had beside their desks and asked them questionsaboutfiling.

I had just implemented the Modern Army Record-keeping System (MARKS) at my previous assignment as the Chief, Admin Support Branch, Headquarters, 4th Transportation Command. It was part of the Army’s attempt at streamlining administrative duties, but it was up to the AG Corps to provide directives and instruc-tionstoexecutethechanges.Itwasdifficultsincewesupported combat arms and combat support units that wereconstantlyconductingfieldtraining.Althoughthestreamliningwasdifficultatfirst,theendresultwasagood one for all concerned.

I proposed a “300 Club” to the commander, which he gladly implemented. Since the company reported forphysicalfitnesstrainingat0600(6a.m.)onMon-days, Wednesdays and Fridays, I asked that anyone receiving a 300 on the Army’s annual Physical Fitness Test (APFT) be excused from mandatory formations, but be allowed to show up for training at the gym (im-prove push-ups and sit-ups) or other accepted training area for running (2-mile run). This motivated soldiers, and my division had the most 300 Club members (6) than any other division.

Next issue: changes can be difficult, but once implemented, can be a blessing in disguise!


BRAIN BOOSTER by Dorothy Rohland

Sometimes things in our world seem a little crazy, disturbing, and unpredictable. And sometimes things are just plain funny. Right about now I feel a need to bring some humor to this month’s puzzle. So, while we all know that Mother’s Day and Memorial Day are celebrated in May, I’m bringing you some actual designated holidays which occur in May. Although they are real, we don’t often hear of them or even celebrate them. Now, I challenge you to think of some clever, unique ways of honoring them. For example, my nephew plays the tuba, so I might have him serenade me. and I think many of us can find of ways to celebrate “No Dirty Dishes day. ” Go ahead. Have fun.

Bridge Tips by Harold SchachterThe best lead against a 6-NT

contract is often very differ-ent from one against a 3-NT

contract. Against a 6-NT contract one should lead passively, not aggressively!

You hold: S KJ763 H 1097 D 85 C Q92 Circumstance #1: Against 3-NT: Lead the 6 of

Spades – 4th best from your longest and strongest. Circumstance #2: Against 6-NT: Lead the 10

of Hearts, or the 8 of Diamonds. If the Opponents have about 33 HCP’s, guess how many Partner has. Lead the safest card possible; i.e., a card from any suit in which you have no anticipated tricks to develop! Let Declarer search for any of the missing honors, do not telegraph them to the Declarer.


HOW TO STAY SANEfrom Cleveland Clinic Newsletter

You’ve been stuck inside for days … weeks … months? Time can seem meaningless in the age of COVID-19 and sheltering in place. And the term “cabin fever” sounds altogether too quaint to describe your serious case of stir-craziness.

You’re not alone. “Across the globe, people are self-isolating to prevent the spread of the novel coro-navirus,” says clinical psychologist Scott Bea, PsyD. “It can help to remember that literally billions of other people are in the same boat.” If that doesn’t take the edgeoff,Dr.Beaoffersthesetipsthatmighthelpre-lieve some of your pent-up cabin fever.

Stick with a RoutineNo, it probably won’t look exactly like your pre-

coronavirus routine (especially if you’re now pulling double-duty as a work-from-home parent). But, Dr. Bea says, consistent routines can ease anxiety and help shush the nagging voice in your head that keeps whispering, “What am I going to do?!?”

Add these healthy habits to your regular schedule• Eat nutritious meals: There’s a time and a

place for brownies, and quarantine is that time and place. But neglecting nutrition will only leave you feeling sluggish, Dr. Bea says, so enjoy comfort food in moderation.

• Exercise: It’s important for about a gazillion reasons, and mental health is one. “Regular activity can improve stress, depression, and anxiety and help you sleep more soundly,” Dr. Bea says. “Try daily walks or jogs outside or stream an online exercise class.”

• Protect your slumber: Try to go to bed and wake up at your usual time. Minimize naps, which can make it harder to get a full night’s sleep.

Try Something NewNovelty is the opposite of boredom, Dr. Bea notes.

Try something totally original — or just do regular things in fresh new ways.

• Have a picnic: Take your family, pack up some favorite food and spread a blanket in your yard or on thelivingroomfloor.

• Learn a new skill: Sign up for an online art class, learn to speak Mandarin, try baking French macarons, or teach yourself a chord on the guitar you bought seven years ago and never learned to play. “The

options are almost endless,” Dr. Bea says.ConnectLoneliness and social isolation contribute to mental

and physical health problems, from depression and sleep troubles to heart problems and dementia, Dr. Bea says. But you don’t have to be shoulder-to-shoulder withsomeonetoreapthebenefitsofconnection.

In the age of social distancing, use virtual connec-tionstofillthegap:

• Schedule a happy hour: Plan a regular time to video chat with your friends or family members. “The phone works too, but there’s something especially soothing about a smiling face,” Dr. Bea says.

• Write letters: Texts are practically essential during self-isolation, but it’s fun to channel your in-nerVictorian.Dust offyour fanciest stationery andwrite a longhand letter to someone you love. Bonus points if you actually remember how to write in cur-sive. (Encouraging your kids to write letters can help them practice penmanship and stay connected to their friends, too, Dr. Bea says.)

• Open up: When talking with your loved ones (in person or virtually), you don’t have to put on a brave face. “Being honest about your worries, fears, and future dreams can bring you closer and make your relationship stronger,” Dr. Bea says.

Find Moments of ZenThere’s a lot of overlap between cabin fever and an

anxious, racing brain. Find soothing ways to peace out:• Take up meditation: Mindfulness and medita-

tion practices can reduce stress and anxiety and even improveyourattentionspan—adefinitepluswhenyour mind keeps wandering to the daily news reports, Dr. Bea says. Meditation apps abound.

• Get some alone time: If you’re at home with other people, the constant togetherness might be mak-ing you extra antsy. “Take a solo walk, or set your alarm to wake up before the rest of the household for some much-needed quiet time,” Dr. Bea says.

Use Your BrainDays at home can feel aimless, Dr. Bea acknowl-

edges. But solving a problem or meeting a professional challenge can give you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction:

• Do something you’ve been putting off: There’s no time like the present to tackle a project you’vebeenputtingoffbecauseit’stoochallengingor time-consuming. “Start your novel, make albums

Did You Know?

PAGE 27

of your family photos, or organize your disaster of a basement,” Dr. Bea says. “The feeling of checking somethingoffyourto-dolistwillgiveyouaboost.”

• Read a book: Too much media can crank up stress levels during troubling times. Escape into a meaty novel or learn about a new person or place with somegreatnonfiction.

• Startdreamingupthe thingsyou’lldowithfriends and family, and the amazing places you’ll go (even if it’s just to the park across town), once things start returning to normalcy. “You probably won’t be going on vacation next month, but someday this will end — and eventually, this cabin fever will become a distant memory,” Dr. Bea says.

Some of these tips--like eating right, exercising, getting enough sleep, staying connected--are good for all of us. But, Dr. Bea says not everyone needs to stay super-busy to avoid going stir-crazy. Some of us are alreadystretchedthin.(“I’msupposedtofindtimetolearn Mandarin while working, home-schooling, and feeding everyone all day??”) “There’s no shame in curling up with a good book or just going to bed an hour earlier,” Dr. Bea says. “After all, there is no blueprint forthis.We’reallmakingitupaswego,sofindthecabin-fever strategies that work for you.”

Palasini told veterans that if they would release their assets to her to manage and invest, she would help them diversify their resources so they would qualify for a VA pension. Over the course of several years, Palasini defrauded 78 victims out of more than $2 million before she was arrested and convicted.

Now that the vast majority of us areconfinedtoourhomes, with no end in sight for the "per-sonal distancing" rules,Itriedtofindsomething positive

in our current situation. For me, reading has been an activity that has brought me joy all of my life. In my opinion,nothingismoreenjoyablethanfindingaquietplace to just curl up with a good book.

Books provide the reader a personal trip to new worldsfilledwithwonder,thattransformtheeverydayinto exciting adventures. I have a large book collection with many favorites I like to re-read when I have some spare time….Well, this has been the perfect time to do that, since I had nothing but tons of it!

This month I’d like to share with you all some books I have read and enjoyed reading once again.

"The Little Paris Bookshop" -- I have read this one three times because It has taught me so much about life and how to live it well. Also, because I wouldlovetoownafloatingbargebookstoreontheSeine river. OH WHAT JOY !

"The Art of Racing In The Rain" -- Anyone who has ever had a pet (mine was Zooy, a human in a dog suit) will fall in love with this uplifting story of a family seen through the eyes of their dog.

“UndertheTuscanSun"--AfterfindingabunchoftravelphotoswhenIwascleaningoutsomefiles,I just knew I had to re-read this sunny story that re-minded me of my many travels to Tuscany.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Want to chase the blues away? Grab a book and travel to a happier place.

Stay Safe. Let’s help each other.

This essay was one that was read at a few of our past Memorial Day tributes…Karel

Standing Guard

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest. My daughter beside me angelic in rest.

Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, transforming the yard to a winter delight. The sparkling lights in the tree I believe, completed the magic that was this Eve.

My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep. Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep. In perfect contentment, or so it would seem, so I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream. The sound wasn’t loud, and it wasn’t too near, but I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. Perhaps just a cough, I didn’t quite know. Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.

My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear, and I crept to the door just to see who was near. Standing out inthecoldandthedarkofthenight,alonefigurestood,hisfacewearyandtight.Asoldier,Ipuzzled,some20 years old, perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold. Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled, standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

“What are you doing?” I asked without fear, “Come in this moment, it’s freezing out here! Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve, you should be at home.” For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift, awayfromthecoldandthesnowblownindrifts.Tothewindowthatdancedwithawarmfire’slightthenhesighed, and he said, “It’s really all right. I’m out here by choice. I’m here every night.”

“It’s my duty to stand at the front of the line, that separates you from the darkest of times. No one had to ask or beg or implore me, I’m proud to stand here like my fathers before me. My Gramps died at ‘Pearl’ on a day in December,” then he sighed, “that’s a date Gram always remembers.”

“My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ’Nam.’ And now it is my turn and so, here I am. I’ve not seen my own son in more than a while, but my wife sends me pictures, he’s sure got her smile.” Then he bent and hecarefullypulledfromhisbag,thered,white,andblue…anAmericanflag.

“I can live through the fear and the being alone, away from my family, my house and my home. I can stand at my post through the rain and the dust, I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat. I can carry the weight of killing another or lay down my life with my sister and brother who stand at the front against any and all, to ensureforalltimethatthisflagwillnotfall.”

“So, go back inside,” he said, “harbor no fright. Your family is waiting, and I’ll be all right.”“But isn’t there something I can do…at the least give you money, ”I asked, “or prepare you a feast? It

seems all too little for all that you’ve done, for going away from your wife and your son.” Then his eye welled withtearsthatheldnoregret,“Justtellusyouloveus,andneverforget.Tofightforourrightsbackathomewhile we’re gone, to stand your own watch, no matter how long. For when we come home, either standing or dead, to know you remember we fought and we bled, is payment enough, and with that we will trust, that we mattered to you as you mattered to us.”

Know New Jersey… from the 30th District Office of Senator Robert W. Singer

We would like to share with you in-formation on auctions, and how to avoid auction scams, as provided to us by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Af-fairs,OfficeoftheAttorneyGeneral,ina Consumer Brief.

An auction is the process of buying and selling merchandise or services in which a consumer who is interested in a certain item will bid and attempt to

counter theofferof another consumer for the sameitem.Eventually,thepersonorpartywhooffersthehighest bid gets the merchandise or service being of-fered. Commonly auctioned items include antiques, artwork, automobiles, collectibles, items from famous people, and memorabilia.

There are many types of auctions, including:*Live Auction: For this type of auction, consumers

(or their representatives) are physically present at the location where the items are being auctioned, such as during an estate auction.

*Online Auction: The bidding for this type of auction takes place through Internet websites.

*Reserve Auction: Generally, a reserve auction has a minimum bid or reserve price on items being auctioned. If the bidding does not reach the minimum amount established by the seller, there is no sale. How-ever, the seller may still owe the auctioneers their fee.

*Reverse Auction: In this type of auction, a buyer puts up a request for a required good or service. Sell-ers then place bids for the amount they are willing to be paid for the good or service, and at the end of the auction the seller with the lowest bid wins.

*Silent Auction: This type of auction is often held bynonprofitorganizations,inordertoraisefundsforaspecificcause.Atsilentauctions,consumerswritetheir bids on sheets of paper, and the highest bid gets thearticleorservicebeingoffered.

TheNew JerseyDivisionofConsumerAffairsoffersthesetipstoavoidbecomingavictimofauc-tion fraud:

*Researchtheauctionhousetofindoutwhetherit has been implicated in any alleged scams. Contact theNewJerseyDivisionofConsumerAffairstolearnwhether the auction house has been the subject of any consumer complaints. The Division of Consumer Af-fairs can be reached at 973 504 6200 and/or 800 242 5846,[email protected].

*Bewareoffakecertificatesofauthenticity.Un-

scrupulousauctioneerssometimesusefakecertificatesto disguise items that are worthless or of poor quality.

*Readthefineprintonallthesignsattachedtothemerchandise. Stay away from any merchandise that has signs containing unclear or confusing language or terms.

*If the items have been appraised, be sure that the appraisals were performed by a person or business independent of the auction house.

*If you are bidding online, make sure you know who is paying for the shipping costs.

*Always use a credit card to pay for the transaction. You will have a better chance to recover your money if something goes wrong.

Familiarize yourself with auction terminology. An exampleofanauctiontermidentifiedinthe Consumer Brief is “as is”,meaning that the sellerofferinganitem “as is” is letting potential buyers know that it is being sold “in its present condition.” Typically, this is a sign that no return privileges will be granted, and no warranty exists

Another example is CAI, or Certified Auction-eers Institute. This is the professional designation awarded to practicing auctioneers who meet the ex-periential, educational and ethical standards set by the Auction Marketing Institute, Inc.

Market Value refers to the highest price an item or a property will bring in the open market.

Escrow is money held in a trust by a third party until the seller delivers the merchandise to the buyer.

A Commission isdefinedasthefeechargedtotheseller by the auctioneer for providing services, usually a percentage of the gross selling price of the property or item established by contract (the listing agreement) prior to auction.

Yet another example of auction terminology is T.O.S. (Terms of Service), which is a legally binding agreement that outlines an auction site’s operating poli-cies. All registered users must agree to a site’s terms before using the service.

More information on other types of auctions and auction terms can be found by accessing: www.nj-consumeraffairs.gov/consumerbriefs/auction.aspxandclick on What Is an auction.

How To Stay Safe While Shopping


Of InterestHOW TO BUY A USED CAR

A scathing state report released recently shines a light on the used car industry, prompting lawmakers to reconsider industry enforcement and to push for ways to strengthen laws to protect consumers from predatory dealers. But, as consumers know, buying a used car may be unavoidable.

*Take CautionIra Rheingold, executive director of the National

Association of Consumer Advocates, said customers need to be cautious when navigating the market. “It is a particularly predatory industry, and people need to be really, really careful when they proceed to buy a used car, because there are a lot of risks and a lot of people looking to take advantage of them.”

*It’s Like Buying a HouseConsumers should look at a used car purchase as

similar to buying a house, Rheingold explained. That can be done by treating the purchase of the car and its financingastwoseparatetransactions.Ifyouallowthesellertotakecareofthefinancingofthevehicle,youare being exposed to more opportunities to be ripped off,hesaid.Herecommendssecuringaloanfromabank or credit union before the purchase, if possible.

*Get a Professional OpinionThe most important thing to do when buying a used

car, Rheingold said, is to get an independent mechanic to inspect the vehicle before agreeing to purchase it.

“They need to have their own mechanic look at it. They need to also make sure that there are no recalls on the car,” Rheingold said. “If a used car dealer says, ‘No, you can’t have somebody look at it,’ then leave that car dealer immediately.”

Andy Wolf, a consumer protection attorney in North Brunswick with 22 years of experience, said a large percentage of his individual cases pertain to car transactions, including used cars.

Wolf cautioned consumers against signing any documents that would waive their rights as buyers. “If a dealer isn’t going to stand behind their product, don’t buy the car,” Wolf said. “Never waive your right to an inspection, and never sign an ‘as is’ clause. Never buy the car ‘as is.’ And always get the car inspected.”

*Bad Deal? Seek Legal AdviceIf a consumer is in a bind after a shady transaction,

Wolf said, the buyer should seek legal advice - whether fromanattorneyorfromanon-profitlikeLegalSer-vices of New Jersey.

As always, “Buyer Beware!”

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck

(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead

of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.I would have invited friends over to dinner even if

the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ liv-

ing room and worried much less about the dirt when someonewantedtolightafireinthefireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grand-father ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.I would have cried and laughed less while watching

television and more while watching life.I would never have bought anything just because

it was practical, wouldn’t show soil,or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wiling away nine months of pregnancy, I’d have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, ‘Later... Now go get washed up for dinner.’

There would have been more ‘I love you’s, more ‘I’m sorry’s.’

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute; look at it and really see it; live it and never give it back.

STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF! Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has

more, or who’s doing what to whom,Instead, let’s cherish the relationships we have with

those who do love us.

What is the best and/or the worst advice your parents ever gave you?

Haide Marcuse: My father’s advice to my husband and me on our wedding day was to never go to bed angry. We listened. It worked beautifully for over 61 years!

Dorothy Rohland: best and possibly worst from Mom--don't do anything to embarrass me.Dagmar Santangelo: “Keep your face always toward the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you.”

I’m quite sure this was not my mother’s original, but it made a great impression on my young mind.Margaret Sinnig: My mother always told me to do well in typing and I’d always have a job. This turned

out to be true for me.Dom Cuozzo: “You will always be judged by your friends. Choose wisely.”Gale Gundersdorff:BestAdvice:“Youcandoanythingyouwant”(nevermentioninghowdifficultmy

life as a woman would be or how many obstacles I would encounter as a Baby Boomer!) Worst Advice: Study Business in college after I told her I wanted to become a writer.

Joyce Becker: My mother said to both my brother and me, "Don't do anything that you wouldn't want to see on the front page of the N.Y. Times. " Even as memories dwindle, this stuck in my mind to this very day.

Betty Christian: My mother was a wonderful blend of Wit and Wisdom. When called for, the sage in her would advise, "Always best to err on the side of propriety." Where humor was needed: "Be nice to your children. They will select your nursing home." She was also generous enough to admit she'd seen that on a bumper sticker and loved it.

Ruben Ackman: Best advice: Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Worst advice: Don’t learn torideabike-youmightgetrunoverintraffic

Sally Chesley: Best advice: Be thankful to God for blessings and trust in Him during storms. Beth Prol: My Dad always says,"You can never start too early saving for retirement" Janet Kinsell: The best advice my parents ever gave me was to appreciate all the gifts I received, no

matter how big or small, no matter how inexpensive or expensive. I was fortunate to grow up with loving parents who provided what I needed or wanted. I also had an aunt

and uncle who had no children and doted on all of us. We were showered with many, many, birthday, and Christmas gifts.

But it was the lesson of appreciating the sweat socks or personal phonebook I received from the aunts and uncles who were making minimum wage that has stuck with me throughout the years. I learned that the time andefforttheyspentinpickingoutsomethingspecificwasmoresignificantthanthecostofthegift.Isawhow much they enjoyed giving me their gift. I valued being taught to appreciate and enthusiastically express gratitude for each gift received.

Linda Abrahams: One of the many great pieces of advice that my mom gave me was, “When someone tells you something about themselves, believe it.”

Roz's Ramblings by Roz Obolesky

Welcome back Roz....Karel

It is my fervent hope that by the time this publication reaches you, this incredible crisis we are sharing will have become his-tory and life as we used to enjoy it will have returned to us. Yet, as I sit feeding my thoughts into this computer in early April when the situation is still very dire, and after listening to the daily com-mands to “stay put” and exercise

social distancing, I can’t help but thinking that at least we here in our community are “BIRDS IN A GILDED CAGE.” We can enjoy the comforts of our beautiful home and surrounding property with diversions of our own choosing without jeopardizing the above-requested commands for safety separation. We can chirp “God Bless America” from our front porches with the hope that our voices will reach our neighbors who are similarly inclined, and that the words will strengthen our resolve and belief that this country can and will survive and prosper again. If “hunker down” we must, then appreciate the gilded atmosphere of our community, our (hopefully) temporary “cage” and enjoy the good fortune that placed us here.

Stay safe and well.

Pets in the Time of Covid-19From Adam Christman, DVM. Chief Veterinary Officer at MJH Life Sciences: American Veterinary Medical Association’s statement on Bronx Zoo tiger testing positive for CO-

VID-19 virus; what it means for pet owners.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is aware that the USDA National Veterinary ServicesLaboratorieshasconfirmedthepresenceofSARS-CoV-2,theviruscausingCOVID-19,inonetigerattheBronxZoo.ThisisthefirstinstanceofatigerbeinginfectedwithCOVID-19.Severallionsandtigersat the zoo showed clinical signs of respiratory illness, were tested accordingly* and, at this time, this tiger is the only one that has the virus. Public health employees believe the large cats became ill after being exposed to a zoo employee who ultimately tested positive for the virus. No other animals in other areas of the zoo are exhibiting similar clinical signs.

There have been no reports of pets or livestock becoming ill with COVID-19 in the United States, and only four reported cases in the world of dogs and cats testing positive for the virus. At this point in time, there is no evidence that domestic animals, including pets and livestock, can spread COVID-19 to people.

What does this mean for pet owners?Nothing about this case changes AVMA’s ongoing recommendation that, out of an abundance of caution

and until more is known about this virus, you should restrict contact with pets and other animals if you are sick with COVID-19, just as you would restrict contact with other people. When possible, have another member of your household or business take care of feeding and otherwise caring for any animals. If you have a service animal or you must care for your animals, including pets, wear a cloth facemask; don’t share food, kiss, or hug them; and wash your hands before and after any contact with them.

If you are not ill with COVID-19, you can interact with your pet as you normally would, including walk-ing, feeding, and playing. You should continue to practice good hygiene during those interactions (e.g., wash hands before and after interacting with your pet, including when handling food, supplies, and waste; ensure your pet is kept clean; regularly wash your pet’s food and water bowls, bedding material, and toys).

The AVMA has more information on COVID-19, pets, and veterinary medicine at www.AVMA.org/Coronavirus.

*Please be aware that the tests done on animals are NOT interchangeable/the same as the COVID-19 tests for humans.
