–Photo by St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral of Howell hosts its blessing of the Easter baskets in anticipation of the May 1 holiday. 40 days of intense fasting during Great Lent, and the observances of Holy Week leading to it, Holy Pascha, the greatest feast of the Church year had arrived. While the meaning and importance of Easter are the same in both traditions, the dates can vary. The Eastern Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar, created
in the time of Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. Western Christians use the later Gregorian calendar established under Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. Because of this ancient formula, Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring (Easter - See Page 4)

Howell’s Orthodox Faithful Celebrate Easter With Prayer, Family And Food
By Lois Rogers From Brick to Howell, to Jackson to Toms River, the bells of Orthodox churches rang out with the good news of Jesus’ resurrection in the early morning hours of May 1. Five weeks later than the Easter date observed by Western Christians, the bells signaled that, after

initiative were those areas, such as the Shark River in Wall, but a majority dealt with the cleanup of the oceanfront. Several winter storms pummeled and eroded sections of the state’s coast line leaving, in some
cases, debris. With that in mind, thousands of volunteers came out on April 30 to take part in Clean Ocean Action’s 31st A n nual Beach Sweeps. Volunteers gave beaches, bays (Clean - See Page 13)

PTA Bets On Food Truck Trend For Fundraiser
By Shawn Smith HOWELL – The hot trend of food trucks will spice up the latest fundraiser for Taunton Elementary. The Taunton Elementary School’s PTA will host its inaugural flea market and food truck event on May 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a rain date of May 22. The flea market will consist of yard sale tables, crafters and local business vendors. Food trucks CheezeN, Kona Ice and Romano’s Disco Fries will also be on hand to serve local residents. The flea market will be held in the large field next to the elementary school. Jessica Koven, a local resident and mother to a student at Taunton, organized the flea market to benefit the Taunton PTA. “We had to come up with new ideas for different things,” she said. “I’ve seen on Facebook and social media the food truck events at Allaire and the Laurita Winery, and I thought it would be a good idea to do something like that.” Money raised from the fees for
the tables, $20 for PTA members and $35 for non-PTA members, will be used for events and bussing to events, Koven said. Kelly Tiboldo, treasurer of the Taunton PTA, said all the school’s PTAs are run through fundraising, and they are always looking for innovative ways to raise money for the school. “We support the ‘I Love to Read’ program, where the kids are rewarded for reading, we pay for the cultural arts events,” she said. “All of the supplies, the planners the students get, there is a lot the PTA helps pay for.” During a PTA meeting this year, Koven attended and suggested the flea market as a fundraiser. “We had never done one before,” Tiboldo said. “And I thought ‘What a tremendous idea to try to do one.’” The idea benefits the entire community, Tiboldo said. Parents can come and sell their merchandise. Local businesses can come and (Fundraiser - See Page 13)
Mosquito Commission To Use Soldiers Memorial Park For Landing
By Catherine Galioto HOWELL – The Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division will use a portion of Soldiers Memorial Park field as a landing and loading site for its helicopter, for a period possibly lasting now through September. The helicopter is part of the division’s aerial mosquito control program. In a letter to the township, the superintendent to the county mosquito control division explained that site was chosen due to its proximity to 15 airspray sites
within 1 to 2 miles away from the township park. The helicopter would use that spot about twice a month, with the aerial operations starting around sunset and lasting about 45 minutes to one hour, said the superintendent. Ground crew remain in radio contact with the helicopter pilot, to ensure no landing is attempted when people are present. But before any pesticide operation begins, the township police are notified of the county activity, said the superintendent.

Easter:
Continued From Page 1
Equinox and the Jewish Passover. In some years, as will happen next year, the dates coincide. But at other times, they are separated by as many as five weeks as is the case this year. Because the calendars are so different, there can be some bittersweet moments, Archpriest Gary Bretton said during a Holy Week interview. As rector of the Orthodox Christian Church of the Annunciation on Van Zile Road, he noted that it can often be difficult to find Easter for the sacred liturgies. But that’s minor compared to the sacred and communal elements which return each year as the faithful celebrate this “primary feast of all Christianity,” Father Bretton said. It is a time of embracing family and sharing all of the traditions with them as generations before have done. Among the venerable customs observed, he shared, is the dying of eggs deep red in memory of the blood of Christ which the faithful joyfully crack and split open Easter morning, a symbolic opening of the empty tomb. Among Orthodox Christians of Slavic heritage, it’s traditional to bring splendidly decorated baskets filled with foods they couldn’t eat during Great Lent to church for blessing, Father Bretton said. All this is part of what he refers to as the “great buildup” to Easter which began this year on March 14, the first day of Great Lent when, for many, any food made with oil, cheese, meat, eggs, butter and salt, came off the table. The 40 days of Great Lent, filled with prayer and contemplation, are the gateway to the
solemnities of Holy week which culminate so joyously in Easter. According to Orthodox tradition, Holy week began this year on April 23 with Lazarus Saturday and concluded the following Saturday, April 30. At St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church, Toms River, on Good Friday, the momentum which had been building all through Great Lent was climbing steadily toward the zenith of Easter. Like many Greek Orthodox churches throughout the United States, St. Barbara bustled with activities for all ages throughout the day. A retreat entitled “Destination: Pascha” captivated children and young adults including 13-year-old Lexi Patestos, a member Goya, the congregation’s youth group. On a brief break from all of the activities that included crafts, discussion groups, dramatic presentations and a luncheon that mirrored the last supper, Lexi shared how much the day meant to her. “The best thing is how close everyone is,” she said. “We are all learning together what Easter is, what it is all about. And you are learning in groups with all your friends.” Church member Marina Papanikolas said the retreat, which was first held about five years ago, includes very visual events that encourage the young people as they follow a “map” of the Holy Friday in Jerusalem, to experience at each stop what happened on the road to Calvary. “At every station,” she said, “the kids absorb it more.” While the children enjoyed their games and crafts, adults devoted themselves to decorating the wooden canopy that symbolizes
the tomb of Christ. Church member Marina Papanikolas explained that the canopy stands over the Epitaphios, an embroidered cloth representing the crucified Christ, which would be venerated and carried in procession outside the church as night fell. Father Paul Pappas, joined in the activities, leading the children in prayer. In an earlier interview, he looked forward to the group of about 100 getting together later on to pluck bay leaves off branches. The leaves would be sprinkled throughout the sanctuary during a service on Holy Saturday morning memorializing the death of Christ and the earthquake that followed. “It’s a very moving service,” said Father Pappas. “You can follow it in your books but a lot of (older people) who come, enjoy the participation of the kids as they all hit their hands on the pews and stomp their feet to symbolize the earthquake.” “After the service, the entire church is covered with bay leaves,” which are not swept up until Sunday afternoon, after the Easter Service. Congregations with many members of Slavic heritage, including the Orthodox Christian Church of the Annunciation in Brick, observe the ancient tradition of blessing the foods after the Divine Liturgy that begins around Midnight and concludes sometime between 2:30 and 3 a.m. As Father Bretton explained it, the blessing “takes on a special meaning when you are celebrating during a long night.” He looked forward to blessing baskets containing foods his congregation abstained from during Great Lent.
“You won’t see bunnies,” he said. “There will be cheeses, special breads made for Easter, and usually a candle,” marking Christ’s passage through the darkness of death into light. While most of the foods are of Slavic origin, he has blessed a basket containing a long awaited Jersey Mike sub. And indeed On Holy Saturday, as hundreds of Russian Orthodox faithful gathered at St. Vladimir Cemetery on Route 571 in Jackson for the blessing of the baskets of Easter food, there was not one bunny to be seen. The lavishly decorated baskets contained regal Easter breads, crowned with dollops of sugary icing, kielbasi, cheeses and bottles of wine – also off the menu during Great Lent – and of course, red eggs. Proto Deacon John Morvay spoke of how meaningful it was for the faithful to be able to break their fasts with this food blessed by the Very Rev. Archpriest John Profkopiuk, rector of St. Mary Church. “It’s a beautiful tradition, a wonderful custom,” said Proto Deacon Morvay who noted that he has been observing it since childhood days when he and his family attended St. John’s Church in Perth Amboy. Indeed, Robert Cheff and his grandmother, Anna Nikforow, drove in from Hamilton to have the family basket blessed by Father Profkopiuk who had officiated at his wedding years before. Cheff, who planned to attend Easter Liturgy later that night at Princeton University, said that each year, he focuses on making the most of Great Lent, Holy Week and the Easter solemnities. Observing as much as possible, he said, is deeply moving, a great feeling.

Editorial Take Advantage Before The Rush This time of year is the special rebirth of s p r i ng, a s we sh a ke off the last vestiges of the seemingly endless winter in favor of the promise of summer. Summer’s promise is not just the beauty of the area coming alive w i t h t h e wo n d e r f u l landscapes, attractions and an nual outdoor e ve n t s we love , b u t their crowds as well. Soon, the consequence of su m mer – crowds – w i l l me a n t r af f ic, longer lines and highe r p r ic e s fo r t h i n g s enjoyed in the off-season. The post-Labor Day we e k s b e c o m e “ L o cals’ Summer” but the week s lea d i ng up to Me mor ia l D ay of fe r their own advantages bereft of crowds. Fo r o n e , t h e n e we s t a m e n i t i e s of t e n open af ter Easter, or for May. For example, new at t ractions have debuted at Six Flags’ Great Adventure and at Casino Pier, two places already open. The crack of bats has begun at Fi r st Energ y Pa rk ,
and BlueClaws opening weekend featured $1 ticket specials. Which brings us to another point: the cost. Pre-season rates are in effect for lots of attractions, or are free until Memorial Day. Some can only be enjoyed if war mer temperat ures are forecast, such as the beaches, which are also ung uarded this time of year so swimming is prohibited. But , t h is is st i l l t he time of year to have the beach on you r mind, a s p r e - s e a s on b e a ch badge prices are in effect for a little longer. T his could mean big savings for beachgoers who plan ahead. Si m ila rly, you ca n jump the gun and enjoy of f- s e a s o n r a t e s at many campgrounds this time of year, before prices go up for the summer crowds. You can save dollars, time and headaches by making a point to enjoy the days before M e m o r i a l D a y. T h e pre-season is a great time for all these reasons and more.

Letters To The Editor Get Off Our Soap Box I can’t help but to feel that common writers of “Letters to the Editor” have been given the “short stick,” in favor of propaganda in print by politicians and special interest groups in the “Letters” section of the paper. While our letters are rightfully edited or omitted entirely, I doubt that this is the case with these political heavyweights. These VIPs have many other options and places to air their agendas, some even have franking privileges, or are sought out by the press for their opinions on matters pertaining to their districts or expertise. I often see their names and opines in other articles within the same issue. So my question to them is: why is it necessary to use space in the peoples’ only public venue? Just so we’re clear, I’m talking about: Ger r y Little, Joe Vicari, Tom MacA r thu r and others. G et of f ou r soap b ox. Then read with care the messages of the people who still care.

“No Kill” Plan Concerns
I’m greatly concerned about the new “No Kill” plan being implemented in response to feral cat colonies in Manchester.
By capt u r i ng, spay i ng and returning these cats to the wild, they become a th reat to our ecosystems, ecologically and economically. I have loved and cared for sever al cat s i n t he past 75 years. They have been wonderful companions and have greatly enriched my life. However, I don’t delude myself by thinking that my cuddly little fur balls won’t turn into indiscriminate killing machines if allowed to roam outdoors to fight and kill small wildlife, to pick up parasites and diseases that compromise t h e i r h e a lt h a n d l ive s (and mine) and to bear the responsibility for the endangerment of several species of birds. If you’d like to capture a nd ma ke t hem i ndoor p et s , f i ne, but I’d a sk you to not feed, capture, neuter and return them to the wild. Instead, please ca l l a n i m a l c ont rol t o rid our neighborhoods of these wild killing pests and keep your pet cats indoors where they can love a nd be loved a nd cared for. Judy Bevan Whiting

far, but go much faster. Kids went to school to lear n and respect; they we r e n ot h a n d e d c o n doms. Tea cher s d id n’t r ape students and vice versa. Pot smoking and drug use were un k nown and young people didn’t resemble zombies. Taxes – all taxes – were low and kept that way. It was considered a really big deal to get a divorce, now 50 percent of marriages end that way. Having an out of wedlock baby was unknown and considered a black mark and a big shame. Now a d ay s h a l f of t h e newborns belong to single moms. Politicians were honest – well, sort of – and not doing the exact opposite upon taking office. Health care was affordable; now it’s the world’s most expensive, thanks mainly to Obamacare. Our doors and windows were kept open, and one could walk to the grocery store without the fear of getting mugged. The justice system was fair, laws were enforced and policemen were respected. Turning a television set on and off and using the phone were simple. Well, it’s not anymore and it’s get ting more and more complicated. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. As far as I’m concerned, my friends, those were they days. Mino Rigopoulis Toms River
Modesty Vs. Honesty It appears we are going to have (saints preserve us), a presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. That is to say, be-
tween “modesty” versus “honesty.” In the Republican corner you have the urbane and hubris-free Mr. Tr ump. A man who touts his reliance on the bible, except for Proverbs 30:32: “If you have been foolish, exalting yourself… put you r hand on you r mouth.” Speaking of hubris, I have been infor med by reliable sources that Mr. Trump, if elected president, will take the oath of office by not putting his hand on the bible or a copy of the Constitution, but on his best-selli ng book , “ T he A r t of t he Deal.” It’s also my und e r s t a n d i ng , a lt h ou g h I can not independently conf ir m it, President Tr ump’s f irst executive order will be to rename the country-“The Donald States of America,” and h is se cond , t o re pla ce our national moto with, “I n Tr u mp We Tr u st.” All of which I’m told led one Tr ump detractor to lament (whose rhetor ic I’ve sl ig htly s a n it i z e d fo r p r o p r i e t y p u r p o s e s): “ I’m not a p r o c tologist, but I k now an a n a l s ph i nc t e r whe n I see one.” In the Democratic corner you have that paragon of veracity – the principled, cred it able, aut hent ic, si nce re, d r ippi ng w it h rectitude straight-shooter from New York, Hillary (I cannot tell a lie) Clinton. To paraphrase a well-known axiom about truth-telling, for she does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in her. When she tells a lie, she speaks in character. This election will not be about “modesty” versus “honesty,” but about “egotism” versus “mendacity.” Borden Applegate Jackson

The awards were prese nt e d at t he cou nt y’s 27th annual Fair Housing Poster Contest luncheon. Fr e e h old e r D i r e c t o r Thomas A.

Freeholder John Curley recognized students f rom St. Rose of Lima School i n Fre ehold. A special recognition certificate was presented to Mat t hew D ove dy t is , a st udent volu nteer f rom South River High School, who generously donated his time helping students and teachers. “The artwork is outstanding and shows the talents of st udents at a you ng age,” said Arnone. “The teachers at all schools who make fair housing a
part of their curriculum are to be com mended for making an important subject part of education. All the winners should be congratulated, not only for their artistic ability, but for lear ning issues that make fair housing a topic which is often overlooked.” T he t heme for t h is year’s poster contest was “Shared Opportunity in Every Community.” Each year, the cou nt y’s Fair Housing Board publishes a calendar with the winning drawings. Since 1969, the month of April has been designated as National Fair Housing Month throughout the nation, and during that time t he Mon mout h Cou nt y Fair Housing Board has provided community education of fair housing issues, and encouraged activities that address fair housing rights. “For more than 40 years, Mon mouth Cou nt y has been committed to ensuring there are fair housing choices for our residents,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Serena DiMaso, who also ser ves on the County Planning Board. “The Fair Housing Off ic e a n d Ho u si n g a n d Urban Development have worked tirelessly to eliminate discrimination in
housing based on race, color, n at ion al or ig i n , religion or disability. It is gratifying to see these you ng a r t ist s show a n u n d e r s t a n d i n g of t h i s important issue.” The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders created the Fair Housing Board with the responsibility of making policy recommendations to the Freeholder Board. The Fair Housing Board encourages equal housing oppor t u nities and pro vides assistance, support and information to anyone pursuing the rights allowed by law related to fair housing. “ T he s t u d e nt s’ h ave demonst rated their understanding of a topic that is a concern for counties, New Jersey and the country,” said Curley. “Education is best demonstrated when students understand the factors of an important subject. The ability t o c o m m u n ic a t e t h e m through art, in verbal or written form, is part of education.

Child Find Information
HOWELL – For parents concerned that their elementary or middle school student is developing or learning differently, call Patricia Callander, assistant superintendent of Pupil Services for the Howell Township School District at 732-751-2480 ext. 3809. After calling, parents will be referred to personnel from the appropriate school who will consult with them and answer any questions that there may be. If appropriate, the child’s teacher will be contacted and a conference may be scheduled to discuss the matter. In addition, a referral may be made to the building I&RS committee in order to plan for and provide intervention services for the child. Parents play a key role in this process. They have the right to request an evaluation for special education and related services by sending a written request for an evaluation
to the child’s principal. Be sure to include the child’s name, age, address and area of suspected or know disability. After receiving the written request, the district’s child study team has twenty days to have a meeting with the parents. At this meeting, the parents and the team will decide if an evaluation is needed and what the evaluation will include. If the parents have not already utilized the services of the I&RS committee, the child study team may defer to this process before conducting a formal evaluation. The ultimate goal of this referral process is to ensure that the child is given every opportunity to have a successful learning experience in his or her school. For additional information regarding the identification, location and referral of Special Eduation students, refer to the district’s policies and regulations at Howell.k12.us.

Get Tickets For LIFF Kick Off Party
LONG BEACH ISLAND – The Lighthouse International Film Festival LIFF Kick Off Party will be held on May 7 at 7 p.m. This event will be held at Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, 120 Long Beach Blvd., Loveladies. Discover what’s screening at the 2016 Lighthouse International Film Festival, held June 9 to 12, when the film lineup is unveiled by Executive Director Eric Johnson. The LIFF Kick-Off Party is the time to catch the previews. The party will include hors d’oeuvres from the area’s best restaurants, libations and a silent auction. Items included are: stand-up paddle board lessons, original LBI art by local artists, gift cards for fine dining, gift baskets from local businesses, throw pillows from a local design store, professional beach photo shoots, art classes and more. Tickets can be purchased online. There will be limited tickets available at the door. The Kick Off Party will feature the screening of two award-winning short films, “Harry Grows Up” and “Fool’s Day.” The film-makers will be available for questions following the screenings. “Harry Grows Up” is short romantic comedy, lasting 12 minutes. New York is a tough place to find love. Especially for an 18-month-old living on his own. The end is not easy to predict, nor are the well edited
scenes that follow one another, leaving the viewer is pleasantly surprised at every turn. The use of black and white, instead of color, gives the film a timeless appeal. Complete with a sweet-sounding musical score, this romantic comedy is a gem. This film is a winner of 20 awards including: L.A. Comedy Shorts Fest, Best of New York, New York International Shorts Fest, Best Short Film and Charleston International Film Festival. “Fool’s Day” is a short comedy drama, lasting 19 minutes. “Fool’s Day” is a dark comedy about a fourth grade class that pulls an innocent April Fool’s prank on their teacher, which accidentally kills her. Panicked and convinced they will go to prison, the blood splattered classmates try to cover up the murder and dispose of the body before their D.A.R.E. officer shows up for his weekly lesson. Winner of the Best Short Film, Seattle International Film Festival Golden Space Needle Award, Vail Film Festival and Best Narrative Short in Tribeca. Tickets for this event are $25. Tickets can be purchased at: Things A Drift (Ship Bottom), South End ‘N Surf and Paddle (Beach Haven), Mary Allen Realty (Ship Bottom) or online at lighthousefilmfestival.org. Proceeds of this event will go to the Lighthouse International Film Festival, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization.

She’s been the one running with it,” Tiboldo said. “With all the social media postings … she’s really been all over the place.” Koven said she has reached out to local businesses and have gotten few onboard for the flea market. They include: Pampered Chef, Touchstone Crystal by Swarovski, Usborne Books, Gymboree Play and Music of Howell and New Hope Chiropractic. Along with the flea market, Koven said there will also be a clothing drive. “We’re also doing a clothing drive with

We’re also trying to get the Howell Police Department to come out and maybe do some fingerprinting, or let the kids check out a police car.” For more information about the f lea market, Koven said residents can go to the Facebook page at facebook.com/ events/847438255364889/.

and waterways a clean sweep from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Participants tallied marine debris and beach litter during the event. That information will soon be compiled for COA’s 2016 Annual Data report. “The Beach Sweeps aims to build a sense of community and raise awareness while creating the next generation of ocean advocates and producing a legacy of data to help reduce pollution and litter in New Jersey,” said Lauren E. Brajer, COA communications and program coordinator. The volunteers were made up of event sponsors, volunteers, community groups, students, children, families and businesses. Clean sweep locations extended from as far north as Middlesex County to as far south as Cape May County. Paul Lapinski and his wife Janet traveled from Hillside in Union County to their favorite beach community of Lavallette to participate in the sweep. “We vacation here each summer,” Paul Lapinski said. “We love it here and we want to keep the area clean. We got here at nine o’clock and we’ll keep at it until it gets to cold,” Janet Lapinski said. The Lipinski’s collected bottle caps, paint brushes and construction wood during the morning. A short distance away, Lavallette residents John Gesumaria and Mary Chyb were filling their trash bags with wood planks and other assorted debris.
“We did not find many plastic bottles,” Gesumaria said in surprise. Chyb said “this is something we feel strongly about.” She said that she and Gesumaria take part in the dune grass planting program in the borough held twice a year. Lavallette Council President Anita Zalom joined Councilman Dave Finter and residents Clem Boyers and Mark Speaker in manning the registration table based at a beach pavilion. They distributed trash bags, handed out literature on the event and served up some refreshments to volunteers. “We had 75 people sign up today for this effort,” Zalom said. Seaside Heights’ effort included Donovan Catholic High School students Florentina Sergiou and Marissa Mey who scoured the beach of litter while earning extra credit for their marine biology class. “I found a lot of bottle caps,” Sergiou said. “I found a lot of plastic items,” Mey added. MATES Academy Supervisor John Wnek captained the registration table assisted by seven of his students. “We found some interesting things including an old chair. We had 25 people sign up to help.” Brajer said COA appreciated the efforts of all the volunteers who helped remove the litter that accumulated on beaches during the winter. “It is not only unsightly for beach-goers, but can be harmful to marine life through ingestion or entanglement.” “COA is dedicated to informing the community and urges local citizens to take the necessary actions in order to reduce their pollution footprint,” Brajer said.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Help For Chronic Sinus Problems
SPORTS INJURY
TO THE...
• Treating foot and ankle injuries for people of all ages • Digital X-ray and ultrasound on-site for immediate diagnosis • On-site ankle braces & walking boots • On-site specialized lower extremity physical therapy
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. As spring rolls around, allergies and hay fever cause problems, and so do lingering strains of colds and flu. Maybe you are one of the 40 million people in North America who are experiencing the uncomfortable symptoms of chronic sinusitis? It translates to a lot of Kleenex, Flonase and Sudafed. Are you experiencing some of these issues: sinus pressure, headaches, cheek pain, eyeball pain, pressure behind the eyes, puffy eyes, nasal dryness or a stuffed up nose? Do you have moving headaches or shocks in your scalp, dental pain or notice a foul odor that no one else can smell? Today I’m reviewing some popular devices that help with chronic sinusitis: Neti Pots: There are plastic and porcelain ones, I suggest the porcelain kind. Neti pots and other ‘nose’ devices discussed below are better than oral decongestants like pseudoephedrine because they don’t raise your blood pressure or causes spaciness or insomnia. But they work superficially, addressing nasal and maxillary sinus problems (around your cheekbones) not those of the ethmoid (near the bridge of your nose) or sphenoid sinuses (behind your eyes). Luckily those conditions are rare, and you’ll need a CT scan of your sinuses to uncover ethmoid or sphenoid sinus problems. Pro – It’s affordable and readily accessible at health food stores and pharmacies. No set up is required, other than having warm distilled water and special neti salt.
Con – You have to tilt your head in an awkward position and this is problematic if you have neck or back pain. You need to buy distilled water. Please don’t skimp and use tap water because your sinuses are not equipped to defend against pathogens very well. For example, people have died from a brain-eating amoeba found in tap water, so use distilled. Neilmed Rinse: Pro – It f lushes you out really well, and is more efficient than a neti pot. Many people claim it helped them after years of congestion. It comes with individual packets of salt with baking soda, which is instantly alkalinizing. You control the pressure or “f lush” by squeezing the bottle yourself. Con – You may get a sinus headache afterwards, and some people say it causes a sensation similar to the feeling you get when you jump into a pool and water gets up your nose, but this goes away. It’s made of a f limsy plastic container. Navage Nasal Irrigation: Getting used to this device takes a try or two. It has a “pulling” effect rather than a pushing effect like other devices. It sends water up one nostril and literally suctions it out the other. Once you get used to the sensation you can reap the benefits. Pros – It doesn’t require awkward head positions. Some reviews from people online say it changed their life, and helped get them weaned off years of nasal sprays and/or steroids. Cons – You have to buy their proprietary brand of salt pods and the sensation of suction can feel bizarre. You also can’t control or adjust the f low.

‘Your Vote Matters’ Program Kicks Off
MONMOUTH COUNTY – Monmouth County Clerk Christine Hanlon is encouraging members of the public who meet eligibility requirements to register to vote in this year’s elections through a new program called ‘Your Vote Matters.’ The deadline to register is May 17 for the June 7 primary election, and October 18 for the November 8 general election. Hanlon’s effort includes public service an-
nouncements, videos, a new website and visits to local high schools. She recently visited several schools to discuss the county’s ‘Your Vote Matters’ program, which aims to increase voter participation. Hanlon explained to students the criteria for registering: citizenship in the United States and residency in Monmouth County 30 days before the election. In addition, a person may register to vote at age 17, but must be 18
to cast a ballot. “Voting is an important opportunity to participate in the democratic process by electing officials and deciding public questions,” said Clerk Hanlon. “This is an important freedom we enjoy and a civic duty. The first step is registering to vote and then casting a ballot on Election Day. “Voter participation in last year’s election was
the lowest in state history,” explained Hanlon. “We must make every effort to reverse the decreasing turnout trend. Students turning 18 are excited about the chance to become involved. ‘Your Vote Matters’ is intended to raise awareness of their responsibility and assist them and any member of the public in the simple process to register.” According to the state Division of Elections, only 22 percent of registered voters in New Jersey participated in the 2015 election. In Monmouth County, 22.82 percent cast a ballot and four counties experienced less than a 20 percent turnout.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Inside The Law
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Marc S. Galella Esq.
An Overview Of “Death Taxes” In New Jersey By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Persons passing away as residents of New Jersey may have their estates subject to potentially three “death taxes.” These taxes are the Federal Estate Tax (FET); the New Jersey Estate Tax (NJET) and the New Jersey Inheritance Tax (IT). This article will provide a brief overview of these death taxes. The Federal Estate Tax is an estate tax imposed by federal law. The bad news is that the FET tax rate is very high at 40 percent. However, the good news is that as part of the continuation of the Bush Tax cuts, the FET threshold has been raised and in this year (2016) the FET applies only to estates in excess of $5,450,000. The better news is that for a married couple, the threshold can be as high as $10,900,000 under certain circumstances. For the majority of persons reading this article, the FET is not a concern. The New Jersey Estate Tax was referred to as a “sponge tax.” This meant that a percentage of the FET was paid to the State of New Jersey. After the FET threshold was raised in 2002, the State clarified that the NJET would remain in effect for estates in excess of $675,000, no matter how high the threshold for the FET would become. There is no NJET for assets passing to a surviving spouse. Many individuals in the Ocean County area find that their estates are in excess of the NJET threshold. The good news is that the tax rate for the NJET is relatively low. For example, a $675,000
estate would be taxed at the rate of three percent. An estate of $1,000,000 would be taxed at the rate of 4.6 percent. As of the time of this article, there are numerous legislative bills in Trenton that would either eliminate the NJET or raise the threshold into the $2 to 3 million range. However, given the state’s ongoing budget crisis, it is uncertain whether this legislation will be passed. The final death tax is the New Jersey Inheritance Tax. This is a tax imposed upon the beneficiaries of the estate based upon the class of person inheriting. As of the mid-1980s, spouses and lineal descendants of the decedent have been totally exempt from the IT. Siblings of the decedents are entitled to a $25,000 exemption and then are taxed at the rate of 11 percent up to $1,000,000 and the tax rate increases after that. All other beneficiaries are taxed at the rate of 15 percent up to $700,000 and 16 percent in excess of that amount. There is no tax on inheritances of less than $500. There is no tax in bequests to recognized charities. The topic of death taxes in New Jersey is complicated and subject to many regulations and exceptions. There are ways to avoid or reduce some of these taxes. This article is intended only as an overview and is not intended to provide tax planning advice. For more information an attorney or accountant experienced with these taxes should be consulted.

Sudoku
Dear Readers, As you know my usual format is to pick and choose from my inbox and bring to you letters that I think will be most interesting. This week I will deviate from my norm by generalizing. I receive so much mail regarding the following, I feel that I am answering many letters at once. I’ve received hundreds of letters over the last year similar to this. People either personally or through a relative are being given wrong medications or incorrect dosages of medications that they were or were not prescribed. Throughout the healthcare world, of which I am very familiar, this is known as a “med error.” Although it does happen in hospitals and other places that healthcare is delivered, it is most common in your own home. People who take care of themselves often double up, skip, or substitute older medications. As you know by now, I am president of Preferred Home Health Care. One of the rules in home healthcare is that a registered nurse must prepare medication. Most people, however, do not need a nurse to pour their medication. Here are a few tips to help prevent any problems for those who are taking their medications by themselves. 1. Line up every medication that you should be taking. 2. Look for the following things: Your name (don’t laugh; it happens),
the doctors’ na me s, t he dosage and daily prescription. 3. Do not take your medication out of a bottle day by day. Instead prepare a week of medication. I prefer not to use a day and night box that is built as one. I do recommend that you color code two kits, one for day and one for night. Yellow or light blue works well for morning and a deeper color to represent night. For those who need to take medications more than twice a day, adjust the above by buying three or four individual set ups. It’s bulkier, but safer. For those who are on a limited budget, you can use egg cartons from the supermarket (not my favorite choice, but it does work.) If you can, have someone in the house review what you have done. Once again, an RN would be great, but not always practical. I like setting up medication on Sundays if possible. Take all the bottles and put them away so that you don’t accidentally reach into the bottle out of habit. This will prevent accidental double ups. Prepare a list, and keep it on your person or somewhere visible should an emergency occur. Stay safe and healthy. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com.

Professional Profile
Freehold Orthodontics Serves Up Smiles, One Patient At A Time By Joyce Blay Everyone is all smiles at Freehold Orthodontics, and you can be, too. Since 2013, orthodontists Dr. Natalie Nebblett and Dr. Seth Margulies have specialized in building confidence one smile at a time. “Our goal is always to create a harmonious bite, outstanding alignment and beautiful smile,” Dr. Margulies tells a visitor to the partners’ Freehold office. The results are gratifying for both Dr. Margulies and Dr. Nebblett. “I treated orthodontic patients in dental school that were very introverted,” Dr. Nebblett says. “By the end of their treatment, they were more outgoing. I wasn’t just fixing patients’ smiles, I was helping them improve their self-esteem.” Dr. Nebblett has been in practice since 2004, and Dr. Margulies since 2006. The duo met as students at New York University College of Dentistry, where they were seated next to each other alphabetically by last name. As a result, the two classmates became friends, and after graduation, business partners. “Patients are getting two orthodontists for the price of one,” Dr. Nebblett says. Dr. Nebblett completed her undergraduate work in Steubenville, Ohio, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Franciscan University. In 2004, she received a Doctorate of Dental Surgery from New York University College of Dentistry in New York City. She completed her residency at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, NY in 2005. In 2008, Dr. Nebblett returned to NYU College of Dentistry to earn a post-graduate certificate in Orthodontics. Dr. Margulies began an equally distinguished academic career by graduating in the top one percent of his class from Elizabeth High School in Elizabeth, NJ. In 1996, he graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Statistics and Operations Research, Finance from New York University. From 1996-2001, Dr. Margulies served five years as a captain in the United States Army. After being honorably discharged in 2001, he worked as an orthodontic and oral surgery assistant. Dr. Margulies earned a doctorate in Dental Surgery from NYU
College of Dentistry in 2006. Dr. Margulies completed his residency in Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Orthopedics at NYU College of Dentistry in 2008, where he met fellow classmate Dr. Nebblett. As business partners, the two orthodontists are invested both personally and professionally in the community they serve. Dr. Margulies and Dr. Nebblett participate in the “Give Kids a Smile” program in Freehold. In addition, they support the local chapter of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and perform regular outreach services at area schools. “I have a Perth Amboy office, but when people come here, I feel as if I’m supporting my local community,” Dr. Margulies says. “We’re doing a lot of activities to connect with our neighbors. We want them to get involved in something bigger than themselves.” Last year, Dr. Margulies was reviewed and approved as an NJ Top Dentist. This summer, NJ Monthly will be profiling both orthodontists in the publication’s annual roundup of the state’s top dentists, as chosen by their peers. Look for it online and on store bookshelves in July. Patients, as well as peers, are enthusiastic in their praise of both orthodontists. Alyssa Archbold described her joy with the results of her course of treatment on the Freehold Orthodontics Facebook page. “Retainer in place, and ecstatic to be braces free!” she wrote on May 2, 2014. “I couldn’t be happier with my choice to finally get braces… it was well (worth) the end results! Thank you Dr. Margulies & Dr. Nebblett!” Freehold Orthodontics offers a full range of orthodontic procedures to patients that range in age from children to adults. “People may come here to have their children’s teeth straightened, then ask, ‘Hey, can you work on me, too?’,” Dr. Nebblett says. “Basically, people look in the mirror and aren’t happy with what they see. They want to improve themselves by improving their smile.” As long as patients of any age have a good foundation, Dr. Nebblett and Dr. Margulies can offer them a variety of treatment options at an affordable cost. Freehold Orthodontics offers the latest technological advancements in straightening patients’ teeth, including
Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® clear aligners, lingual braces, and more. At your first appointment, ask about self-ligating brackets such as In-Ovation®. Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile. Self-ligating braces are made from the same materials as traditional braces. However, self-ligating braces do not require the use of elastics, meaning fewer appointments and less friction being placed on the tooth. Self-ligating braces come with traditional metal, ceramic, or clear brackets. They are the same size as metal braces, but use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the archwire guide teeth into place. The clip helps reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth, and requires fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace. Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.
Clear aligners are a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten your teeth like braces. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. Lingual braces are hidden behind the teeth and are therefore “invisible” when you smile. Lingual braces are 100% customized to match the shape of your teeth; the metal appliances are created uniquely for you. Lingual braces are a very reasonable option for athletes, models, actors/actresses, musicians who play wind instruments, and adult professionals. Orthodontics, also referred to as dentofacial orthopedics, is a specialized form of dentistry focusing on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial abnormalities. Dentists recommend braces to correct misaligned and crooked teeth. Your orthodontist at Freehold Orthodontics is a dental specialist who has received two to three years of additional training and experience and is able to straighten teeth, correct misaligned jaw structure, and improve the function of your smile. Treatment may not only be a
matter of improving self-esteem, but also of preventing or correcting adverse health implications. Misaligned teeth and crossbites can increase the likelihood of plaque buildup and also trap food, increasing the chances of developing gum diseases and periodontal complications, which in turn lead to tooth decay, toothache, earache, and headaches. Improperly aligned teeth also can cause problems while chewing food, eventually leading to gastrointestinal complications. Improperly aligned teeth may cause problems when speaking as well. Apart from making an individual shy about his or her appearance, misaligned teeth may also prevent people working in certain industries or in client-facing jobs from achieving their professional goals. Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position. Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a
great age to wear braces. Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide quicker treatment time. Before beginning your orthodontic care, your doctor will discuss all of your options and provide an estimate as to how long your full treatment may take. Contact the friendly staff at Freehold Orthodontics to schedule a free consultation and learn more about orthodontics and the treatment options available. Freehold Orthodontics is conveniently located at Pinho Professional Center, 55-77 Schanck Rd., Suite B-15, Freehold NJ 07728. Call them at 732-462-0700, e-mail them at freeholdorthodontics@ gmail.com, or visit their Web site at jerseyshoreortho.com. You’ll be glad you did.
