Lakewood Organizations Issue Rebuttal of Anti Vaxxer Coalition
IN response to an anti vaccine coalition forming in Lakewood, The APP Reports 'Some of Lakewood's most influential Jewish institutions rebuffed the effort, calling it the work of a small, fringe group that ignores the advice of medical professionals who overwhelmingly support immunizations.
Among those are Beth Medrash Govoha college; the Lakewood Vaad, a council of Jewish leaders and rabbis; the Center for Health Education, Medicine and Dentistry on Route 9; and doctors Robert Shanik and Jonathan Cohen. They issued a joint statement supporting immunizations for children.
“We are strong backers of the current state regulations that require that every child in school be properly immunized," the statement reads. "The regulations are proper and should not be changed. The regulations allow appropriate exceptions for exceptional cases when a child’s immune system is compromised, such as a child undergoing chemotherapy treatment, and no other exceptions should be made.” read more HERE

NO More Day Camp Swimming?
Ray Coles announced in an article discussing the new innovative pool rental service app, Pools 4 you, that the renting of pools in Lakewood is now illegal. Be careful not to advertise your pool for rent. You will be fined, according the Mayor. Summer day camps will not be allowed to rent anyone's pools and even if the pool is owned by the camp it must be inspected and maintained according to ADA and health department standards. If you own a summer day camp and would like to use a pool you are now out of luck.
from the APP article:
Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles said the township has cited residents for an illegal change of use when officials have found homeowners renting out their pools
"Most of them stop once they are made aware of the fact that it is not legal to do this," Coles said. "Many do not realize the liability issues or the fact that their pool is now considered a commercial venture."
Homeowners who persist even after they've been cited for renting pools can be fined, and can also be reported to the Ocean County Department of Health, which has jurisdiction over public pools in the county, Coles said.

Lakewood Safety Campaign With Cards in Yiddish
שטעל זיך אף קוק ביידער וועגען פאר איר גייט אריבער
Several Lakewood Township agencies and organizations met recently to design a safety campaign for the town that will feature Pedestrian Safety Cards in English, Yiddish, and Spanish, among other safety tips. Many injuries and fatalities happen because drivers and pedestrians simply don’t see each other. Each organization will distribute the Pedestrian Safety Cards as part of Lakewood’s safety campaign and concern for its citizens to remind pedestrians how to safely walk during the day and at night. Some of the Pedestrian Safety Card tips include Stop! Look both ways before you go; Cross only in the crosswalk; and Don’t walk distracted (by talking on cell phones or listening to music, for example). Pedestrians should also watch for turning vehicles; wear light colored clothing and reflective materials; and walk on the sidewalk if there is one or walk facing the traffic when there is no sidewalk.
The Lakewood agencies and organizations that developed the Pedestrian Safety Cards are Lakewood Township officials, the Lakewood Police Department, Lakewood First Aid, Lakewood Civilian Safety Watch (LCSW), Lakewood Fire Department, Lakewood Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Hatzolah, Lakewood Chaveirim, and Bikur Cholim of Lakewood.

Yom Kippur Koton for Erev Rosh Chodesh Nissan

Some have the minhag to say the tefillah of Yom Kippur Koton at Mincha on erev Rosh Chodesh Nissan even if they do not regularly say it on erev Rosh Chodesh. Because Nissan is the beginning of the year according to the opinion of R' Yehoshuah that the world was created in Nissan. When erev Rosh Chodesh Nissan comes out on Shabbos, the tefillah of Yom Kippur Koton is said on the preceding Thursday. (Halacha Yomis)
