Lakewood OEM Demonstrating for Chaveirim and EMS

Major Chutzpah of new 'Energyz' gym in Lakewood

Well, if you were thinking about joining the new Energyz (Former Trim Gym) in Lakewood, located in the Shop Rite plaza, you may just want to re-think it. TLS just spoke to someone who went to the former trim gym, which was just purchased by a goy along with the Kosher Gym of Flatbush, to sign up with them. This is what he told us:

First, if you would like to cancel a registration, you would have to send your letter via registered mail to some place in Utah.

2)If, for some reason, you dispute a charge, first thing is, you will be charged a "Research Processing Fee" of a whopping $150 dollars, just for having the 'nerve' to dispute a charge!

3) And the biggest Chutzpah is, after they removed the pool, wanting to make two separate sections, a frum disabled woman from Lakewood told them how much she needed the pool and how much she'll miss it, their answer was " We're here to make money, not to help people".

If you still want to join a gym with such obnoxious people, go ahead. In my humble opinion, we should let them know how unacceptable their behavior and policies are.

Bikur Cholim saftey statues all around town.

They started off around Kol Shimshon area, Yeshiva....now these things are all over the place. We gotta give a big thanks to Bikur Cholim of Lakewood for making this project happen. It's unfortunate that it had to take more than one life until it got underway, but better late than never.

Lakewood-Van warming up, stolen.

7:30 a.m, Chaveirim received a call to please be on the lookout for a tan/light brown 2000 Sienna with license plate beginning with JPS, which was stolen from the Marc Dr. area. The owner had turned on his van to warm it up, but when he came back out, it was gone. Anyone with information is asked to call PD immediately. We urge people to use caution, especially on the colder days when burglars are on the lookout for situations like these.

More Shabbos Break-ins in Lakewood.

Friday night was once again not a pretty site for many homeowners in the East 7th area. There were approximately five break-ins in just a single development.TLS spoke to a homeowner which said " I didn't even realize I was burglarized until after Shabbos". "When I went into my study and noticed my wallet, blackberry, watch, wifes pocketbook and keys were all missing, I knew I was a victim" he told us.

The Lakewood Scoop also spoke to Police Officer Michael Young who responded to the calls. He told TLS, that it seems like it was the same group or individual who targeted all these houses, being that it was the same window broken into, in each house. The lock from that specific window was broken and they just slipped in without being detected.

TLS has also learned, that in one house, a young girl heard some noise while walking in the hallway upstairs-and seems like the burglar had also heard something, and fled.

Patrols and have been stepped up in the area.

Urgent notice from the Tomchei Tzedaka of Lakewood

An individual came collecting today here in Lakewood with his gabai. He claimed to be the Av Beis Din from Netanya and that he has a bunch of Kollelim that he runs. When someone gave the gabai an $18 check this Rebbe starting screaming at him for taking it, said he is too choshuv for $18 and gave it back.

We are quite sure that this is Shlomo Yechezkel from Netanya, an individual to whom we issued an ishur in 2007 based on a reference from someone here in Lakewood. Subsequently, our Israeli contacts cast very serious doubt on his story. In addition, his claims to be a Mikubal and Poel Yeshoes is a cause of laughter to our Israeli counterparts.

Please do not give this person any money based on his old Tomchei Tzedakos ishur. Furthermore, if you have any further information about him, please let us know as soon as possible. He is very choshuv-looking, wears a down hat and has a long white beard.

Thank you,
Tomche Tzedaka of Lakewood
