A Year Since Recon�iguration, Superintendent Weighs In
–Photos from Howell Times archive School officials explained reconfiguration plans to a packed crowd early 2015. By September 2015, the physical transition would be complete, as staff worked to move furniture over that summer. Among the changes: reconfiguring Memorial Middle School into an elementary school. By Charles Daye HOWELL – This time last year, the Howell School District was rushing to move furniture and install playgrounds in time for September, when a district-wide reconfiguration would put new grades at different schools. With a year under his belt under the primary-elementary-middle school system, Superintendent Joseph Isola said the new grade bands have allowed teachers, staff and students to focus more. The fi rst school year after reconfiguration went “really well,” Isola said. “What we were hoping to accomplish here, has started to take shape,” said Isola. The goal they’re hoping to accomplish is improving the students’ learning experience by having a singular focus for

the grade specific schools. Reconfiguration separated the district into five schools that focus on primary learning in kindergarten to second grade, five schools that are third to fifth grade and two middle schools. The administration believes this allows a more singular focus on the students, by separating into grade bands, different from the generalized approach of six grades in one school (K-5), which was the previous structure. Before the reconfiguration, the district had nine elementary schools and three middle schools. “Every educator in the building is focused on primary learning (in the K-2 building). You don’t have to worry about a kindergarten teacher talking to a fifth grade teacher; in the context of math that exists at that level versus kindergarten. Everyone has a singular focus and that has been positive.
Teachers have told (they) feel strongly that their dialogues with colleagues are richer and deeper,” said Isola. The administrators claim the reconfiguration would solve long-term the problems of inequity that Howell faced up to last year: while some schools were almost filled to capacity, others had much smaller class sizes. Grade-banding— dividing schools by grades—would allow for resources and instruction to be targeted to specific developmental needs by grade. The needs of primary school leaners differ from those of elementary school learners, they said. Dividing schools by grade will allow teachers and building administrators to better focus on those needs in a supportive, collaborative environment. The superintendent said the (Schools - See Page 15)

By Catherine Galioto MONMOUTH COU NTY – State officials will reveal plans to reconstruct the eastbound bridge on Route 33/34, which would close the span and move all traffic to the westbound side. A public information meeting on the project will come July 27 to Howell. The New Jersey D e p a r t m e n t of Tr a n s p o r t a t io n will hold its publ ic i n for m at ion center meeting at the Howell Township Main Meeting Room, 4567 Route 9 North on July 27, from 4 to 7 p.m. In a project slated to begin August, Route 33/34 Eastbound over Southern Division Railroad would be reconstructed, replacing the steel girders and concrete deck. State officials said the bridge superstructure and substructure both have structural deficiencies. Route 33/34 Eastbound over Southern Division Railroad cur-
rently consists of two 12-foot lanes in one direction with a 3-foot, 6-inch left shoulder, a 12-foot, 6-inch right shoulder and a 6-foot, 10-inch right sidewalk. The westbound bridge is not included in this construction project. According to the state, the scope of this project replaces the superstructure, including the steel girders, the concrete deck, the inside barrier and the sidewalk and railing. Additionally, some rehabilitation work is scheduled for the substructure. The DOT has a three-stage construction project planned, in order to use pre-fabricated superstructure components and minimize impact on traffic. During stage one, two lanes will remain open in each direction while temporary median pavement for a stage-two crossover is prepared. Stage one is expected to (Bridge - See Page 15)
Amid Warnings, Locals Leveling Up With Pokémon Go By Shawn Smith Around midnight, the streets which are usually quiet are bustling with teens and young adults staring at their phones. Suddenly, someone cries out, “There’s a Ninetails over by Wells Fargo!” The mass of trainers rush around the corner and out of sight, except for a few who have brought lawn chairs and set themselves up in front of the Toms River Fire Department on Robbins Street.
Chances are that even if you live under a rock, you’ve heard of the newest Pokémon game (because people have probably lifted the rock looking for one of the digital creatures). Pokémon Go is the newest craze, and within the short amount of time since its release just earlier this month, it has threatened to overtake Twitter with its number of daily users. It’s sent hundreds of locals (Pokémon - See Page 4)

Pokémon:

out on walks to spots such as parks, businesses and other landmarks. And police and business owners are noticing the uptick in pedestrian traffic, at all hours. The game uses “augmented reality,” in which Google Maps overlays with the game map that players use, and geolocates like a GPS does. As users play, they have to move in the real world to move their character in the game. Places like parks, monuments and churches serve as locations in the game where trainers can get supplies, or battle their Pokémon. W h ile t he ga me’s popu la r it y ha s exploded, issues surrounding it have also emerged, with national news reporting incidents from drivers getting into accidents while playing, to three women finding a dead body in a park. Townships such as Lacey have issued statements to the public, warning of the dangers of using a smart phone and disregarding your surroundings. The game also greets users with a warning to be aware of their surroundings while they play. “The Lacey Township Police Department is advising residents playing this game to please be alert at all times, and stay aware of their surroundings t o avoid p ot e nt ia l p r oble m s wh i le playing the game,” according to the
press release. “Additional safety tips i nclude, not d r iv i ng or ut i l i z i ng a bicycle, skateboard, or other devices while interacting with the app as you won’t be able to do both safely. Furthermore, be cautious not to trespass on private property or areas you normally wouldn’t, if you weren’t playing the game.” Parents are not the only ones benef itting from the game getting their children out of the house, some local businesses are also seeing an increase of customers because of the locations of the “gyms” and “pokéstops” in the game. Some businesses, such as Quaker Steak and Lube in Brick actually are a pokéstop themselves, despite the actual stop being the NASCAR on the roof of the building, but the restaurant said it has not seen an increase of patrons after the game was released. “I don’t follow the Pokémon trend, so I don’t know if I just didn’t notice,” a manager who asked not to be named said on Monday. “I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary.” Another local “hot spot” also reported that they have not seen a noticeable difference in patrons, despite the extreme popularity of the game. Tori Ben, mother of the owner of Uncle Doods Donuts, another business that has become a pokéstop, said the shop has not seen a noticeable difference in patrons, largely due to the
hours of the business. “We’ve had a few extra people, but the hours they are wandering around, we’re not open,” Ben said. “We close at 1 p.m., there’s been a lot of traffic after 1, and before we open [at 6:30 a.m.].” Police, the media and the game itself cannot stress enough that players always be aware of their su r rou ndings, as Howell Police Chief Andrew Kudrick issued a message on the craze on the department’s Facebook page. “The latest Pokémon Go game has become widely popular amongst kids and adults (yes, adults). Although, the game in itself is harmless, the activity associated with it has raised credible concerns with police departments and the public,” Kudrick wrote. “Over the past few days, the Howell Police Department has received numerous calls reporting suspicious activity/persons throughout the township. This includes our former municipal building directly behind police headquarters. Officers have reported watching multiple cars pu lli ng i nto closed bu si nesses a nd persons walking along the shoulder of Route 9 while looking down at their phones.” The problem could be one of trespa ssi ng, he said. “Pa r t icipa nt s a re trespassing on private proper ty and are going into places they shouldn’t be. The activity associated with this game causes our off icers to be distracted from their nor mal, legitimate patrol
duties. More importantly, the potential for someone getting hurt or involved in a bad situation participating in this game is an almost certainty,” said the police chief. Ultimately, the call was for good judgment: “During this time of heightened awareness and securit y of our of f ice r s a nd gove r n me nt fa ci l it ie s along with the “see something, say somet h i ng” ca mpaig n, pa r t icipa nt s must be responsible in par ticipating in this game,” Kudrick said. “If you chose to participate, use good judgment. Don’t annoy the general public and the police. Stay off other people’s p r o p e r t y a nd d o n’t e ng a ge i n o d d behavior that going to make people suspicious. Better yet, delete the game off your phones, head over to one of our local parks and play a good ‘ole game of kick ball.” At the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, a statement was issued to military personnel about cellphone usage while in uniform, saying those trainers should wait until off duty before attempting to catch Pokémon. “For our community members playing near the installation – there are several Pokémon hugging our security borders,” the Facebook post said. “Unfortunately, catching Pokémon is not an accepted answer when being detained by Security Forces.” As for that Ninetails? Turned out to be just another Pidgey.

F������� L����� Task Force Against Elder Abuse Needed Thank you Governor Christie and members of the legislat u re for signing Bill #S157 to create the New Jersey Task Force on Abuse Against the Elderly and Disabled. The impact of abusive practices is f inancially and emotionally devastating to our loved ones who are victimized. There is also a tremendous burden on the judicial and social services systems to rectify the injustices from such crimes although vast numbers of such crimes go unprosecuted. AARP concurs that the resources and experiences of a multi-disciplinary task force could develop policy proposals to save lives and livelihoods. Bipartisan policy-making task forces are a proven strategy for the successful development of useful laws and regulations. For example, this approach was successf ul i n i n it iat ives related to developing effective legislation re-
garding powers of attorney and guardianship jurisdiction. Unbiased, informed stakeholders prov ide valu able i nsights that can produce r e a l i s t ic, a c t ion a ble policy proposals. This new law provides an opportunity to develop the measures we need; to strengthen the investigation and enforcement capabilities of the Office of Adult Protective Services; to alert financial institutions’ i nvest igat ive agencies; to shine a light on potential instances of abuse and neglect based on warning signs; and to develop stricter safeguards that prevent fam ily members and caretakers from exploiting elders. A A R P New Jersey looks forward to participating in this task force. We are confident that the results will improve the lives of New Jersey senior and their families. Dave Mollen State President AARP New Jersey

Brexit Thoughts W ho’d have thoug ht, we’d fi nd England voting on its independence from the European Union. Just think, a few hundred years ago, America became its own country by separating itself from what country - why England of course! Yes, there will be economic down’s for a while; however, upon ref lection, there will always be periods of unsettled financial times. A big decline may loom in all of our financial f ut u res but at t he end of the day, we wish t he Br it s well i n t hei r decision. Think about it, this may be the beginning of other countries doing the very same thing. Many people are dishear tened about how things are going for
them in ever y way and thus a disruptive world. Let’s get our priorities right folks and allow history to happen. May God bless us one and all. Bette Kooreman Whiting
What It Takes To Be an Effective Citizen It’s so easy in a presidential election year to forget that our system is not about a single person. This year especially, when the dynamics of the presidential contest have dominated news coverage so thoroughly, the cr ucial role that citizens play — apart from serving as voters in the presidential drama — isn’t even an afterthought. Yet effective citizenship is the base on which our representative democracy rests. I believe it’s made up of several elements. First, a confident belief that change is possible — that the country can indeed make progress over time thanks to the efforts both of ordinary people and of political leaders. Yes, we’ve got miles to go on many fronts, but on the whole, our system is working better for more people than it did a few decades ago. The people who helped make this happen understood t wo t h i ngs: t hat prog ress was possible, and that it required their efforts. Those who were most effective had an im-

pact because they had the skills to make a difference. I’m talking here about the fundamental ability we should all have as citizens to solve problems i n a representative democracy. This means knowing how to work together with all kinds of people, being able to find common ground, building consensus, and communicating ideas effectively. I use the word “skills,” but in the end, good citizenship is as much about temperament as it is about ability. Mutual respect, tolerance, empathy, civility, humility, honesty, resolve — these are the simple vir t ues that our nation depends on in its citizens. So is a willingness to step up to challenges. The people who make a difference in our system are the ones who not only identify a problem, but then plunge into fi xing it. There’s a fi nal quality that makes for effective citizenship, and it’s a tough one: mostly, we’re not going to solve our challenges in a single generation. So we have to educate ou r child ren and those who come after us in the skill sets I’ve been talking about. That’s because all of us — you, me, and our fellow citizens — are responsible for the future of our neighborhoods and our nation. Unless we all shoulder the obligation to learn the skills we need to shepherd it into the future, and then teach those skills
to others, our country and our system will struggle. Lee Hamilton Former Rep., U.S. House of Representatives
Keep SSN Private Many small-minded people who work inside of New Jersey’s K-12 education system mislead parents of children registering for school, by claiming that they are required documents to register a child in school. State law says a school district is required to register any student of school age who says they live within the district. Even if the child and parent lack any form of ID or other off icial documentation, the ch ild st ill must be registered and allowed to attend school. Districts must admit the student and then the parent may provide whatever documents they can get together. It is the “totality” of those documents that can prove residency. For example, a bi r t h certificate and a piece of mail would more than be sufficient ID under the law. To protect your child from identity theft, you should never provide a social security number to a school district or your driver’s license. They have no legitimate use for this information. A K-12 school is not the IRS, an employer, or a bank. How dare they demand a SSN? Eric Hafner Toms River

NJ Senate Passes Resolution Recognizing Twin Lights
NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Senate took a break from its 11th-hour budget battle on June 30 and reconvened to pass a unanimous resolution recognizing the efforts of the Twin Lights Historical Society to promote Jersey Shore tourism in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. After the session opened with the customary recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, Senators Joe Kyrillos and Jennifer Beck spoke about the role of the lighthouse in the development of the pledge, which was given as the national oath of loyalty for the first time atop the Navesink Highlands in an 1893 ceremony. They encouraged New Jerseyans to visit the lighthouse and the town of Highlands this summer and fall. Trustees Tom Mullins and Mark Stewart joined
Kyrillos, Beck and Senate President Steve Sweeney on the floor to receive the resolution, which also recognized the “Seeing Stars” exhibit at the newly renovated Twin Lights Museum, and the film “You Heard It Here First: The Pledge of Allegiance at the Twin Lights,” starring Ed Asner, which was produced by the Twin Lights Historical Society. “Seeing Stars,” which features $2 million in rare flags and patriotic artifacts, will run through the year. Admission to the exhibit – as well as the North Tower – is free. “You Heard It Here First” won Best Short Documentary at the Garden State Film Festival and is for sale in the museum store. June 30 was initially selected for the senate resolution because it marks the end of the state’s fiscal year – a day that is typically very
quiet. It turned out to be one of the most hectic days capitol complex staffers could remember. “The lawmakers were caucusing all morning, trying to hammer out deals on the budget, gas tax and transportation fund,” says Mark Stewart. “Since the senators have to be in session to pass a resolution, Tom Mullins and I felt like green-room guests waiting to fi nd out we’d gotten bumped off a talk show. We appreciate the recognition, of course, but even more we appreciate that everyone was willing to take a break, reconvene and honor the society’s work.” T h e f u l l t e x t of t h e senate resolution is on twinlightslighthouse.com. The Twin Lights National Historic Landmark is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Admission to the North Tower and museum is

Township To Begin Farm Property Inspections
TABLET Powered by issuu.com! Read ALL SEVEN of our papers online with any Apple device! Look for us in the NEWS App!
HOWELL – Realty Data Systems (RDS) was contracted to perform farm property inspections for Howell Township. The inspections will begin in the coming weeks. The inspectors work between 9 a.m. and dusk on Monday to Saturday. If a residential dwelling (farm only or commercial farm, farm stand) does not exist, the inspections may take place on a Sunday from 9 a.m. to dusk. All inspectors wear RDS logo shirts and high-visibility vests with “Property Inspector” printed on the tail, and carry photo ID badges. The inspection consists of taking photographs with a tablet, knocking on doors of farmhouse or commercial structure to make their presence and purpose known,
walking the properties (including through farmland and/or woodlands) to perform exterior inspection, as well as noting/photographing/sketching the farm structures (i.e. barn). If there is no answer at the door, the inspector will continue the exterior inspection, including entering the farmland portion of the property. Inspectors will not go through locked gates, but will enter an unlocked gate/fence to access the property. If a gate/ fence is blocking access, the inspector will photograph as part of the inspection. Contact the tax assessor’s office for any additional information or questions at 732938-6242.

Monmouth County Fire Academy Graduates 33
–Photo courtesy Monmouth County From left: Monmouth County Fire Marshal Kevin Stout, Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, Belmar Firefighter James C. Lorusso, Monroe Twp. Firefighter Henry M. Haligowski, Freeholder John P. Curley and Fire Academy Director Armand Guzzi. Lorusso and Haligowski received the Ronald Fitzpatrick Award, named for a former instructor at the Fire Academy who died in the line of duty in 2003. HOWELL – The Monmouth County Fire Academy graduated 33 firefighters from the Firefighter I program on June 21 at the Fire Academy on Route 33. The first-time firefighter graduates of Class 110 and Class 111 worked 188 hours over 30 sessions and received training in rescue, fire extinguishment, hazardous materials response, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, electrical safety and care of hoses, ladders and other equipment. “Firefighting is a noble form of public service that is integral to the safety of our communities,” Freeholder John P. Curley said in his address to the combined classes. “You have stepped forward to serve others, and save lives. It makes me proud to hear that so many people come up to you, our firefighters, and thank you for saving their lives and their property.” A graduate from each class earned the Ronald Fitzpatrick Award, named for a former instructor at the Fire Academy who died in the line of duty in 2003. The awards went to James C. Lorusso, Class 110 of Belmar Fire Department and Henry M. Haligowski, Class 111 of Applegarth Fire Company in Monroe.
For their respective graduating classes, Lorusso and Haligowski received the highest test scores and attendance records. Monmouth County Fire Marshal Kevin A. Stout congratulated the graduates and expressed his excitement about watching them go on to serve Monmouth County and Middlesex County. “I am very proud of these two classes of firefighters graduating from this academy this week,” Stout said. “I am confident that that each firefighter will go on to serve his community well. They have completed the best training available from highly qualified instructors.” The ceremony also marked the final Firefighter I graduation for Fire Academy Director Armand Guzzi. A career firefighter, Guzzi has been an instructor at the academy since 1987, lead the Firefighter I program since 1984 and he has been the academy director since 2012. Guzzi retired on June 30. Each year thousands of local firefighters receive training at the County Fire Academy. For more information about the County Fire Academy visit visitmonmouth.com.

5 Lessons Learned From Seniors
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I used to work in nursing homes where mostly elderly people live, or those who are very sick or terminal. I had a special practitioner license and served as the consultant pharmacist of record for about 11 nursing homes across Florida. Part of my job was to write monthly medical orders to the physicians to discontinue prescribed medications and lower dosages all with one goal: Make the resident (the patient) feel their best. Some things stuck with me and now I will share: I learned not to assume. – Some old people smiled at me, and some cried a lot. You might assume the smiley ones had less depression and pain, while the crying folks were the sad, depressed ones. Never assume. The smiley people may just be pushing harder, and those who are crying may be in horrific pain (not depressed). Crying is sometimes the only way you can speak when your mouth can’t explain how desperate you are in your body. I learned to send “love” in the mail. – I noticed that people who had friends or family visit them during the week required less medicine (and lower doses) than those residents who spent every day alone. If you can’t be physically present, then mail something. I have often been miles apart from my children and elderly parents, but to this day I still send little gifts or cards in the mail reminding them that I love them even though we are far apart.
I learned respect and compassion. – The elderly have lost control of many things including their bladder function, their ability to walk, their home, car, their vision, their children and sometimes their mind. We need to remember that every time an old person is on our way, walking too slow, taking too long… you know once upon a time they were just like you. They had it all, they were happy, on top of the world and excited about tomorrow. People used to ask for their advice, now they are invisible. I always show respect and compassion. I learned to say yes. – Saying no to things is easy because there’s always tomorrow. Is there? After working in facilities and seeing some people (even young ones who were there due to accidents) I learned that life is short, you do not have forever. Stop waiting for a better time or 20 years will f ly by. Say yes and do it. Live your life before your life is lived. I lear ned how little things make people happy. – Like painting their nails in the activity room, giving them $5 to spend, or brushing their hair or holding their hand and telling them everything’s going to be alright (even on their deathbed as they were nearing their last breath). Show up with love in your heart and even if you’re just sitting there to keep them company, do it with full attention. Stay home if you can’t come to them with a happy heart. They feel you – don’t ask me how I know.

Centrastate Set To Open New Health Pavilion At East Windsor
EAST WINDSOR – CentraState is set to open the CentraState Health Pavilion. This grand opening comes nine weeks after the opening of Immediate Care Medical Walk-In of East Windsor, an affiliate of CentraState Healthcare System. The CentraState Health Pavilion at will serve the community with the Fam ily Pract ice of Cent raSt ate East Windsor office, scheduled to open August 1, and a full-service physical and occupational therapy department, laboratory services and specialty physician offices slated to open in the fall. CentraState has partnered with Im-
med iate Ca re Med ical Wal k I n, a n urgent care center with the medical services overseen by board-certified emergency physicians affiliated with CentraState. The CentraState Family Practice office is relocating to be next door to Immediate Care Walk In as part of the Health Pavilion. By combining the convenience of urgent care with the ongoing care of family physicians, CentraState hopes that the availability of full-service physical and occupational therapy, as well as laboratory services, will meet the needs of today’s busy consumers.

financial numbers behind a declining enrollment, and fewer staff members, allowed the district to fund its reconfiguration and also save money. Enrollment has fallen 2.4 percent since 2014, according to district figures, with some attrition of staff over those years. “Not dollar for dollar but yes, off-set the need for funds and salaries, we were able to utilize those funds elsewhere,” said Isola when asked about any new expenses caused by reconfiguring the district. Reconfiguring the district did have its adjustment period, with families of multiple school-age children possibly balancing several schedules with different start times. For example, Greenville, Ramtown, Griebling and Memorial had start times of 8:05 a.m. Tauton, Aldrich, Adelphia, Ardena, Land O’ Pines and Newbury started at 8:45 a.m. The two middle schools started at 7:25 a.m. Schools being reconfigured essentially meant creating new “communities” within the school and some bus routes were re-routed, resulting in longer routes. Parents called the schools after some bus issues the first week of school, and at the time officials worked with its routes to clear up problems. The remaining school board meetings before the new school year begins are 7 p.m. August 3 at Southard Center and August 24 at Middle School North.

take about several weeks. Stage two features more of a traffic impact as all traff ic, both west and eastbound, will travel on the westbound span. During stage two, Route 33/34 traffic will be shifted to one lane in each direction on the existing westbound bridge. According to the DOT, stage two will begin after the peak summer season, and is currently planned to begin in late September and is expected to take approximately a few weeks. The last stage, stage three, includes having two lanes open in each direction, with traffic restored on the eastbound bridge. Work is expected to take a month and will include the bridge parapet, sidewalk and final median construction. Residents are encouraged to actively participate by providing comments at the meeting, by mail or by e-mail. For more information, contact: Raymond S.

Interactive Maps Of Water Access Points Now Available
NEW JERSEY – Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin announced a new, interactive public access map for visitors to locate more than 2,900 coastal, bay and river access points in four counties. “To help residents and visitors get the most out of their summer season, we are also pleased to make available this interactive map, which will provide useful information on beach, bay and river access points in Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May counties. This versatile tool will help longtime New Jersey residents and newer tourists locate the wide range of access points to our tidal waters for all forms of recreation,” said Martin. The interactive map, which can be found at nj.gov/dep/cmp/access/ uses Geographic Information System technology to locate the 2,900 points and allows users to get a glimpse of a particular access point via aerial or street view. Additionally, every point features a pop-up window that provides a street address and amenities available at the location, including parking, handicap accessibility, restrooms, boardwalks and
forms of recreation permitted. The information for each spot was compiled by DEP staff. Later this year, DEP will expand the maps to include all public access points in the northeast region of the state and the Delaware Bay and Delaware River. “We take great pride in the public access for families, boaters, the fishing community and everyone who enjoys the shore,” Commissioner Martin added. “With this great coastal access and our partnerships built through the state’s Cooperative Coastal Monitoring program to ensure excellent water quality, we look forward to another great summer in New Jersey.” The DEP spearheads the Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program (CCMP), a joint state, federal and local partnership that routinely tests water quality at 215 ocean and bay beaches across the state. In 2015, monitored ocean beaches were open more than 99.9 percent of the time. Just two ocean beaches were closed all season as a result of exceeding the recreational bathing beach bacteria standard. The DEP, working in partnership with local and county health agencies, moni-
tors water quality at recreational bathing beaches from mid-May to the week after Labor Day. Water quality sampling results so far have shown that New Jersey’s beach water quality is outstanding. Coastal surveillance f lights are also under way, taking place six days per week from midMay to mid-September. These f lights carefully watch for issues such as algae blooms or debris that might affect water quality. The DEP has worked with Rutgers University to develop an interactive website and map to show real-time status of monitored beaches at njbeaches.org. The website allows the public to easily view and download water quality data, notifies the public of any alerts at beaches and shows the daily f light path and the chlorophyll data collected during the f lights. It also includes access to a variety of reports, information about recent research and shore-related links. For more information about the New Jersey Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program, visit: njbeaches.org.

Inside The Law When Should I Change My Will?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Previous articles reviewed the land use application submission and presentation process; this article will review what is required to be performed after an approval is obtained. The memorialized approval is placed in written form called a Resolution. Part of the Resolution outlines the Condition of Approval, which acts as a checklist of the items that must be submitted to zoning and engineering prior to obtaining construction permits. Satisfying those conditions is called Resolution Compliance. Once an applicant receives the Resolution of approval, the first requirement is to prepare and publish a Notice of Decision. This provides a general notice in the official newspaper as to the details of the approval received. Proof of this publication must be provided to the board secretary. Contained within the Resolution may also be requirements for various legal documents. Examples of these documents are: Lot Consolidation Deeds, which consolidate various lots owned by the applicant under one lot number; Cross-Access Agreements, which will allow neighboring businesses or residents to utilize a common driveway or parking area; and Easements, which earmark certain portions of the property for access by other agencies to maintain or service utility structures or equipment which may be on the property, or may identify portions of the property that are to be undeveloped to preserve the environment or ensure visibility at an intersection. Of course, this is not a comprehensive list, and what is required depends on the specific reliefs granted in the applicant’s approval. What is consistent throughout the
process is that these are legal documents requiring the attachment of Marc S. Galella Esq. legal descriptions and reduced plans, requiring review and approval of the Board professionals and, in some cases, the documents must be recorded with the County Clerk. Certainly, the preparation of these documents is best performed by a qualified land use attorney. Additionally, the Resolution may require plan revisions, payment of additional fees and escrows and approvals from outside agencies. Those agencies may be other local agencies, such as local sewerage, utility and municipal authorities; County agencies, such as Planning Board and Soil Conservation; and/or state agencies, such as NJDOT and NJDEP. Again, each applicant requires a combination of varying approvals. This office can coordinate the receipt of those approvals and prepare a final submission to the local land use board to successfully complete Resolution Compliance. Receiving Resolution Compliance approval will then allow the applicant to construct their proposed project. As can be seen from the information above, the perfection of a land use application approval before a Land Use Board requires an understanding of the MLUL and legal experience. The attorneys at the Law Office of R.C. Shea and Associates can assist to make this process stress free. Look for future articles on the Land Use Process which will review the components of a resolution and the post-approval compliance procedures.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
SUPERIOR
My Helpful Remedies Dear Readers, Although most of the column is usually dedicated to advice, sometimes I run across material that I think is worth sharing. I loved the following helpful remedies. Burned Fingertips: Should you accidentally get a minor burn on your fingertips, simply hold your fingertip to your ear lobe. Place your thumb on the back of your ear and the burned fingertip on the front. It is supposed to work like magic. Motion Sickness: With all the travel plans coming up some people are bound to suffer episodes of motion sickness. This may sound nutty but try this: Pull out the skin in the middle of your inner wrist about one inch from
you r pal m. Keep pulling and pinching wh i le a lt e rnating wrists. You will be amazed at the results. Tension Headaches: Tense all the muscles in your face and neck, jaw, scalp and shoulders. Hold that “pose” for about 30 seconds. Then, suddenly relax completely, letting go of all the tension, and your headache will be gone along with it. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Wendy’s Updates Public On Data Breach
NEW JERSEY – Wendy’s recently reported additional malicious cyber activity involving some franchisee-operated restaurants. The company believes this criminal cyberattack resulted from a service provider’s remote access credentials being compromised, allowing access – and the ability to deploy malware – to some franchisees’ POS systems. Soon after detecting the malware, Wendy’s identified a method of disabling it and thereafter has disabled the malware in all franchisee restaurants where it has been discovered. The investigation has confirmed that criminals used malware that is believed to have been effectively deployed on some Wendy’s franchisee systems starting in the late fall of last year. Impacted restaurants include the two Wendy’s in Toms River, the two in Brick,
the Route 9 locations in Howell and Freehold, the Lanoka Harbor Wendy’s and Route 72 in Manahawkin, among several dozen others in New Jersey. Based on the facts known to Wendy’s at this time, the additional malware targeted the following payment card data: cardholder name, credit or debit card number, expiration date, cardholder verification value and service code. The cardholder verification value that may have been put at risk is not the three or four digit value that is printed on the back or front of cards, which is sometimes used in online transactions. Wendy’s has worked aggressively with third-party forensic experts and federal law enforcement on this investigation, which is ongoing. Wendy’s has now arranged to offer fraud consultation and identity
restoration services to all customers who used a payment card at a potentially affected restaurant during the time when the restaurant may have been affected. For instructions on how to access your complimentary year of fraud consultation and identity restoration services, call 866779-0485, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. Wendy’s will continue to work diligently with its investigative team to apply what the company has learned from these incidents and further strengthen its data security measures. Additionally, in line with prudent personal fi nancial management, Wendy’s encourages customers to be diligent in watching for unauthorized charges on their payment cards and to quickly report suspicious activity to their bank or credit card company.
The phone number to call is usually on the back of the credit or debit card. The Wendy’s franchisee locations that may have been involved in this incident and the dates during which they may have been affected can be found here. The potentially affected sites are organized by state. If you made a purchase using a payment card at one of the listed restaurants during the relevant timeframe, your information may have been affected. In addition to the complimentary fraud consultation and identity restoration services, customers may also obtain additional information from the Federal Trade Commission about steps that can be taken to avoid identity theft, including how to place a fraud alert or a security freeze on a credit account. Contact information for the FTC at 1-877-438-4338.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JuLY 23-July 29 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Scratch the itch. Your unbridled enthusiasms may lead you to achieve more than you thought possible. You can move forward with important plans without interference or blockages in the week to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make a point to fulfill promises. You must stick to the rules where finances and bill paying is concerned. Your partners and companions might offer some highly imaginative and useful schemes this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Remain receptive and resilient. If you are willing to listen you will hear the truth and be made aware of falsehoods. This isn’t a good week to challenge half-truths but a time to gather useful knowledge and promises. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The clock is ticking. There is no time like the present to make your wishes known. Receive shrewd advice from a partner or join forces to put precious plans into motion. As the week unfolds you grow closer to a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your creative ideas may be well worth pursuing. You may stretch outside your comfort zone to achieve public acclaim in the week ahead. Your closest companions, however, might be sticklers for maintaining the status quo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Follow up on the hustle and bustle in your hedgerow. Much can be accomplished when you are in the mood to enthusiastically carry out plans. Precious moments of shared nostalgia are easy to express later this week.

A money making opportunity seems to be within your grasp this week, but you may be surprised by a sudden change of plan. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actions speak louder than words. By being enthusiastic and upbeat you can charm others and make this week memorable. You shouldn’t count eggs before they hatch, but count on having plenty of them to count. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Key decisions are in your hands in the week to come. It is always best to do something that makes you happy so change your goals accordingly. The weight of one obligation will be lifted from your shoulders. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Bask in a blaze of someone’s warm regard. In the week ahead you will find a good time to make public appearances, to ask for small favors, or to happily lure a romantic partner into your enticing arms. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your love life didn’t come with a user’s manual. You might wish that there was a blueprint or roadmap that could help you handle relationships. In the week ahead you can wisely choose a more rewarding direction. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Reassess important situations. A situation in the week ahead might illuminate ways in which you can improve a key relationship. Value the opinion of a devoted significant other who has your best interests at heart.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Details, Details: The Little Secrets Of Cooking Skillet-Fried Chicken By Wolfgang Puck
In so many areas of life, you have probably heard some version of the saying that “little things can make a big difference.” That is certainly true in good cooking. You’d be surprised by the number of times guests in my restaurants ask me why a dish tastes so good. They ask, “What’s your secret?” Much of the time, the secrets amount to nothing more than paying attention to small details over and over throughout a recipe. And if you learn what those small details are yourself, and start caring about them in your own kitchen, your friends and family will rightly think you’re an excellent cook. You can see the results in even the simplest, most home-style recipes. And I’d like to offer you a perfect example in a version of a traditional summertime and year-round favorite: skillet-fried chicken. From start to finish, little things in this recipe add up to delicious results. Let’s start with the ingredients themselves. I like to use free-range organic chicken, which may cost a bit more but will taste so much better. Most good supermarket meat departments will cut up a whole chicken into serving pieces for you, or you can buy precut pieces in whatever combination of dark and white meat you prefer. Next, I season the pieces with salt and pepper and marinate them in buttermilk. The slightly acidic milk helps tenderize the meat and makes it juicier, while the simple act of seasoning first keeps the finished results from tasting bland. Speaking of seasonings, I also add them generously to the flour I use to coat the chicken, creating a really eye-opening flavor profile. A little rice flour added to the regular flour helps yield a crispier coating. Successful frying depends on maintaining a hot, steady temperature. That ensures the chicken browns up well, without turning greasy, in the same time it takes for the meat to cook through. I also add a sprig of rosemary to the oil during cooking, which contributes a delicious aroma. And then there’s one last secret. The moment frying is done, I heat up a little honey with a touch of cayenne and drizzle it over the chicken on the serving platter. That adds a wonderful touch of sweet-hot flavor to every bite. I also offer lemon wedges for guests who want some “zestiness” in their own portions. All these little “secrets” seem ordinary on their own. But put them all together and you get extraordinary results. Whether you serve the chicken hot from the skillet or pack it cold for a summertime picnic, everyone who eats it will declare you a genius in the kitchen.
CRISPY SKILLET-FRIED CHICKEN WITH A SPICY HONEY DRIZZLE Serves 4 1 whole organic chicken, 3 to 3 1/4 pounds (about 1.5 kg), cut into 8 large pieces for frying Kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning the chicken 3 cups (750 mL) buttermilk Peanut oil for frying 1 3/4 cups (460 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) rice flour 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon more for glaze 1 teaspoon ground sweet or hot paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon celery salt 2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary 1 or 2 lemons, cut into wedges 1/4 cup (60 mL) honey First, marinate the chicken: Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet. Season on both sides with salt and black pepper. Pour the buttermilk into a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken, cover the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, turning occasionally. Before frying, pour enough peanut oil to reach a depth of 1 inch (2.5 cm) in a heavy large skillet, preferably cast-iron. Heat the oil to 350 to 365 F. (175 C to 185 C) on a deep-frying thermometer. In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the flour, rice flour, white pepper, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder and celery salt. Close the bag and shake to blend. Remove 2 pieces of chicken from the buttermilk, place them in the bag, close the bag, and shake to coat them evenly. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pieces. Carefully add the chicken, skin side down, to the hot oil in the skillet. Fry until deep brown and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes per side depending on size, adjusting the heat to maintain the frying temperature; add the rosemary sprig to the oil, if you like. (A chicken piece will be cooked through if, after removing it from the oil, it registers 165 F/74 C on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat not touching bone.) Using tongs, transfer the cooked chicken to a rack. Arrange the cooked chicken pieces on a napkin-lined platter. Place the lemon wedges around the chicken. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey. Stir in the extra cayenne to taste. Drizzle the honey over the chicken. Serve immediately.
