Local auto repair/car wash to donate oil changes to healthcare workers

Shore Clean Express has announced they will be offering free oil changes and disinfectant cleaning for the healthcare industry.

PRESS RELEASE

MARMORA, NJ — Shore Clean Express in Marmora, NJ has helped dozens of causes over the span of their 24 years in business, and now they will be helping those fighting COVID-19 on the front lines. Owner Charles Baker announced Tuesday that he will offer free conventional oil changes and free disinfectant cleaning with all car washes for all healthcare workers. To claim, healthcare workers just have to show their work ID at the shop before services begin, no appointment is necessary. 

When the novel coronavirus started making its way through NJ, Shore Clean was the first and only car wash to offer a disinfectant add-on service. The service cleans and protects the inside of vehicles by use of CDC approved cleaning products killing 99.99% of germs and bacteria. Each service focuses on door handles, radio and climate control buttons and more, even including car seats. 

“As a husband of a respiratory therapist, I know this is a crucial time for healthcare workers,” said Baker. “My wife works 13 hour shifts and now more than ever I see the need to give back to these workers and help them out. They’re working overtime and putting a lot of miles on the car with some local workers being transferred to other areas. Keeping these workers safe on the road is my number on goal”

The free oil change offer is valid for one conventional oil change with no appointment necessary. Shore Clean Express is open 7 days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM for oil changes and auto repair, Friday through Sunday 9 AM to 5 PM for the car wash, and by appointment for auto detailing. 

Baker opened Shore Clean express in 1996 at 452 Rt 9 S in Marmora. What originally started as an all cloth car wash turned into full service auto repair, express oil changes and more. Baker takes pride in his facility's ability to offer express, high quality service to keep families safe on the road.

Park being transformed into the SOLCOW - Socratic Outdoor Learning Center of Wildwood

Last week, a number of decorative beach balls were delivered to one of Wildwood’s recently-refurbished small parks, prompting much speculation.

Today, we learned that the site, on the west side of the island near the North Wildwood border, is being transformed into the SOLCOW - Socratic Outdoor Learning Center Of Wildwood.

That’s Socratic as in Socrates - yes, that Socrates!

Now, exactly what this means and what this will be remains a mystery.

According to A.B.S. Sign Co. owner Randy Hentges, the project is being spearheaded by Jack Morey.

In a Facebook post, Hentges revealed two custom sign creations that A.B.S. donated and installed earlier today.

One features the SOLCOW letters, with sun, moon and cow motifs; the other, a depiction of the Ancient Greek philosopher himself.

“These are custom Hi-def plasma cut letters out of 1/2"  thick steel,” he said. “They will have a natural rust patina finish to go with the theme of the park.”

Color us VERY intrigued!

Governor Murphy Executive Orders - Updated March 21st

PRESS RELEASE

WILDWOOD, NJ — We ask you to use educated, thoughtful decisions to protect yourselves and loved ones throughout the community by adhering to Executive Orders 107 and 108 from the Governor’s office.

Per today’s news conference with Governor Murphy, the City of Wildwood will be enforcing the orders listed below:

Executive Order No. 107 

This order revokes all prior mitigation executive orders and incorporates or modifies their provisions as described below. 

“Stay at home” order: All residents are to stay at home or at their place of residence unless they are leaving for the following reasons: 

1) Obtaining goods or services from essential retail businesses;

2) Obtaining takeout or food beverages from restaurants;

3) Seeking medical attention, essential social services, or assistance from law enforcement;

4) Visiting family or close friends, caretakers, or romantic partners;

5) Reporting to or performing their job;

6) Walking, running, or engaging in outdoor activities with immediate family, caretakers, household members, or romantic partners

7) Leaving for an educational, religious, or political reason;

8) Leaving because of a reasonable fear for health or safety; or

9) Leaving at the direction of law enforcement or other government agency. 

Individuals who have to travel must practice social distancing when possible and should use public transportation only if they have no other feasible choice. 

Cancelling gatherings: Gatherings of individuals, such as parties, celebrations, or other social events, are cancelled, unless otherwise authorized by the Order (i.e. the activities mentioned above). Through a separate Administrative Order, the Colonel of NJSP will make clear that gatherings of fewer than 10 people are presumed to comply with the Order, unless clear evidence indicates otherwise. Colonel Callahan will have the ability to adjust that number and that rule according to circumstances and facts on the ground. 

Closing non-essential retail businesses: All non-essential retail businesses, which were previously limited to between 5 am and 8 pm, must now close entirely (online delivery can continue). The list of essential retail businesses that can stay open is limited to the following (Colonel Callahan has authority to amend the list): 

1) Grocery and food stores, including retailers like Walmart/Target that sell food;

2) Pharmacies and medical marijuana dispensaries;

3) Medical supply stores;

4) Gas stations;

5) Convenience stores;

6) Ancillary stores within healthcare facilities;

7) Hardware and home improvement stores;

8) Banks and other financial institutions;

9) Laundromats/dry-cleaning services;

10) Stores that principally sell supplies for children under five years old;

11) Pet stores;

12) Liquor stores;

13) Car dealerships, but only for auto maintenance and repair, and auto mechanics;

14) Printing and office supply shops;

15) Mail and delivery stores. 

Mandatory telework/work-from-home: All businesses or non-profits in the State must accommodate their workforce, wherever practicable, for telework or work-from-home arrangements. If a business or non- profit has employees that must be on site, it shall reduce staff on site to the minimal number necessary to ensure critical operations can continue.

Examples of employees who need to be present at their work site include: law enforcement officers, fire fighters, and other first responders, cashiers or store clerks, construction workers, utility workers, repair workers, warehouse workers, lab researchers, information technology maintenance workers, janitorial and custodial staff, and certain administrative staff. 

Recreational and entertainment businesses: All are closed. This is unchanged from what is currently in place, but the order reiterates these prohibitions. 

Restaurants and other dining establishments: All can remain open but must continue to be delivery and/or takeout only. This is also unchanged. 

Pre-K, K-12, and higher education: All continue to be closed to students. This is unchanged as well. 

Blanket exceptions: Nothing in the order shall be construed to affect the operations of (1) health care or medical service providers; (2) access to essential services for low-income residents, including but not limited to food banks; (3) the media; (4) law enforcement; and (5) the operations of the federal government or the movement of federal officials when operating in their official capacity. 

Timing: The order will go into effect at 9PM tonight to accommodate the end of the sabbath. It will stay in effect until the Governor revokes or modifies it. 

Executive Order No. 108 

This Order clearly invalidates all county and municipal restrictions imposed in response to COVID-19 that conflict in any way with the provisions of Executive Order No. 107, which now encompasses all the emergency restrictions on individuals and businesses that have been put in place. It also says that no county or municipality may adopt or enforce any such restriction going forward. Examples of such restrictions, now impermissible, include the following: 

• Any additions to or deletions from the list of retail businesses deemed essential; 

• Any limit on any business’s scope of service or hours of operation; 

• Any density or social distancing requirements; or 

• Any general restrictions on freedom of movement, including curfews.

County Chamber creates Take Out & Delivery Options group page

This afternoon, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced an Executive Order mandating residents to “stay at home” and closing all non-essential businesses as of 9 pm tonight.

However, restaurants are still permitted to provide take-out and delivery options.

With this in mind, the Cape May County Chamber in Commerce has created a new Facebook group page for businesses to share their hours, menus and other info:

Cape May County Take-Out & Delivery Options

The group gained over 1,000 members in little over 30 minutes after being published, and should serve as an excellent local resource and info hub in the days to come.

Wildwood bridges are not closing

PRESS RELEASE

WILDWOOD, NJ — “We are not imminently closing the bridges to the Wildwoods,” stated Wildwood Mayor Pete Byron earlier today. 

He continued to explain that the topic was part of a larger discussion among the four Wildwoods mayors yesterday about how to protect the permanent residents of the Five Mile Island from undue strain during off-season operations amid the Coronavirus outbreak.

“Many ideas are being discussed, and this was just one that Wildwood Crest Mayor Don Cabrera suggested,” explained Byron. “We have to consider all viable and necessary options today and looking forward during this crisis, but decisions that drastic are typically determined by the county and the state. At this time there has been no recommendation to close the bridges by either authority.” 

The four mayors continue to be in close contact with county and state officials as the COVID-19 virus impacts the state.

“As I stated yesterday and maintain today, closing the bridges may be a knee-jerk reaction to protect our limited resources during this crisis,” Byron reiterated. 

While the city values ALL residents (both permanent and second homeowners) and visitors to the Wildwoods, the four mayors agree that this is not the time to travel per federal and state guidelines. 

Byron is calling for common sense and compassion and asking that nonpermanent residents visit when the city, and in fact, the nation is cleared from the danger of the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus.

This sentiment applies to regional non-residents. The stores are stocked for the off-season demand, but city officials, business owners and managers have seen an influx of shoppers who do not reside in the Wildwoods. This is putting undue strain on the local supply chain to keep the stores stocked for essentials. 

At this time, the one area hospital has 300 beds, yet the Wildwoods are home to many retirees who are widely publicized to be most susceptible to the more severe implications of the virus.

We, as Wildwood commissioners, are keenly aware of the importance of our second homeowners and have the utmost respect for them. We are all in this together and TOGETHER we will come out of this a stronger Wildwood!  

Full-time residents and second homeowners can stay up to date with the latest COVID-19 breaking news by subscribing to email or text alerts.

Mayors of the Wildwoods explain the request for non-permanent residents to remain at primary residences during the COVID-19/Coronavirus outbreak

PRESS RELEASE

The mayors of the four municipalities of the Five Mile Island of the Wildwoods are urging non-permanent residents to remain at their primary residences rather than relocate to their homes in North Wildwood, Wildwood, West Wildwood and Wildwood Crest.

The Five Mile Island of the Wildwoods has always been and will continue to be a welcoming place for people from all over to visit and enjoy our beautiful public beaches, parks, boardwalk and local businesses, especially in the heat of our tourist/summer season.

During the tourist/summer season (typically May through September) our essential municipal public departments - police and fire, as well as our hospitals, grocers and businesses - increase staffing and supplies based on the anticipated increase in population to prepare for the needs of our vacationers/non-permanent residents.

However, during the “offseason” (typically October through April), staffing and supplies are significantly lower, based on the needs of our permanent full-time residents. In coherence with Governor Phil Murphy’s Executive Orders 103 and 104, most private businesses on the island, including restaurants, are now closed or operating on a limited schedule, with limited supplies.

With many businesses closed and because of concerns of putting a stress on food services, pertinent supplies and the capabilities of our medical system necessary to support the permanent full-time residents of the Wildwoods, we as the mayors of North Wildwood, Wildwood, West Wildwood and Wildwood Crest, are urging non-permanent residents to stay home at their primary residence, rather than relocate to their second homes in the Wildwoods.

“With March’s typical numbers for staffing/supplies and most businesses running on restricted hours, mandatory closures, and limited goods, our barrier island can not support such an expedient and drastic increase in population during this time if the year,” said City of North Wildwood Mayor Patrick Rosenello.

“We as the mayors of all four towns, which have been through multiple major coastal storms that required evacuations, understand how debilitating emergencies can be on our barrier island, which is why we are stressing our second homeowners to stay home, rather than relocating to the Wildwoods during the COVID-19 outbreak,” said City of Wildwood Mayor Pete Byron.

“It is in the best interest of the Wildwoods, as well as the second homeowners of the Wildwoods and Cape May County, for everyone to stay home at their primary residences, rather than debilitating all supplies and infrastructure on our island during this state of emergency. This is simply a matter of human compassion. I prefer access to Cape May County and the Wildwoods’ bridges temporarily closed unless living here year-round, employed on the island or caring for a senior or person needing assistance,” said Borough of Wildwood Crest Mayor Don Cabrera.

“Being the smallest of the municipalities of the Wildwoods, West Wildwood understands the strain this could put on our municipal departments, infrastructure and permanent full-time residents, which is why this message is so important,” said Borough of West Wildwood Mayor Chris Fox.

County Zoo hosting daily "virtual school" sessions on Facebook during closure

Like just about every other potential visitor destination in the state, the Cape May County Park & Zoo announced earlier today that it will remain closed to the public for an indefinite period due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Cape May County freeholder director urges visitors to stay home for next two weeks

PRESS RELEASE

Cape May County Freeholder Director Gerald M. Thornto hulk n is urging visitors to stay home during this next two-week period. 

Many people have come down to use their second home or to stay with family at the shore while schools are closed throughout most of the Country.

These additional visitors have put an additional strain on the local supermarkets but could eventually be a burden on the medical system in Cape May County, should a significant outbreak of COVID-19 take place here.

“We love all of our visitors from Pennsylvania, North Jersey, New York, and further away,” said Thornton. “But this is not the time to be visiting the shore as we try to focus resources needed during this pandemic to our residents.”

There have been reports of limited supplies at certain supermarkets and other stores, which is an issue nationwide but has been compounded locally by the number of visitors to Cape May County over the past weekend. 

Cape May County only has one hospital in the County and Thornton wants to ensure their resources aren’t overtaxed if potentially sick people visit the County cause a mass outbreak.

Also, based on the Governor’s orders, restaurants are doing take-out only or have closed completely. Movie theaters and many other gathering locations are closed.

“We are hoping that people act responsibly now so we can minimize the health impacts in as short of a period of time as possible,” said Thornton. “It would be best if people could stay in their full-time residence for now as we address this current outbreak.”
