Township Proposes New Fines To Address Housing Code Violations
By Courtney McCann HOWELL – Housing code violators will come under heavier scrutiny and face harsher penalties pending the approval of a new ordinance introduced at the Howell Township Council’s recent meeting. The new ordinance would require annual inspections for rental properties, specifically single-family homes that are being rented out. The ordinance will be put up
for approval at the council’s September 12 meeting. The ordinance comes at a time when towns throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties have been struggling with problems resulting from absentee landlords and properties with dangerous code violations. One of the more noteworthy of these incidents occurred back in February when a fire destroyed a two-story home in Lakewood
that was illegally operating as a dormitory. Officials believed more than 24 people were living in the single-family dwelling at the time. During the public comment portion of the August 15 meeting, Howell resident Larissa O’Donnell raised concerns about enforcing the new ordinance, citing a property of rental bungalows and a shuttered swim club (Fines - See Page 18)

Councilman Calls For Action On Howell’s Homeless
By Charles Daye HOWELL – Families are living in the woods around Howell. But while the local homeless may keep no address, it’s a situation that needs to be addressed, said local officials. “Something needs to be addressed (about the homeless situation) and I don’t know exactly what,” said Councilman Robert Walsh, as he spoke to the Town Council at the August 15 meeting about the homeless situation in Howell. “There are some different ways we are exploring right now. We are looking at trying to fi nd them temporary housing. We are going to explore the Department of Community Affairs and fair housing and see if we can do something to get affordable home credits. We are exploring a lot of different things and it’s going to take a little bit of time but it’s not something that I think we can take forever with,” he said. Walsh said he had an informal meeting with the Mayor, different representatives from faith-based organizations and nonprofits, community leaders and the head of the PAL Sergeant Chris Hill the week before the Town Council met. It was brought to their attention that families had been living in different sections of the woods across town. “We did a little homework, we confirmed it,” said Walsh regarding families living in the woods in town, but did not confirm where. “We’re supposedly a civilized nation in the middle of a recovery and good times. We have 50, 60 people that are homeless that we know of in Howell, living in the woods. What’s going to happen in the next down turn? It is a concern of mine and not just as a public servant but as a human being,” said the councilman. “I think our first obligations in life are the safety and well being of people. I do have a deep concern like what would happen in the dead of winter with these families and these kids.” (Homeless - See Page 5)

them a strong foundation and leads to students needing less remediation as they grow older,” Isola said. “The more st udents we can keep f rom needing remedial education, the better.” On the math f ront, the dist r ict is focusing on assisting parents and students with following the Common Core curriculum standards adopted by the state. Last year the district began using a program called enVision for grades 3 through 5. This year students will start using the newer version of the program – enVision 2.0 - that offers more digital and interactive resources. “It has a multit ude of parent and teacher resources,” Isola said. “It put great tools in the hands of our educators.” Other highlights for the upcoming school year include: Over the summer the district replaced the rooves on Middle School North and Middle School South The district made several personnel changes over the summer, including naming the following new administrators: Dr. Robert Henig, Principal, Middle School South. M rs. Dheran ie Suarez, Pr i ncipal, Land O’Pines School. Ms. Tar y n Doyle, Vice Pr incipal, Adelphia School. Mrs. Deana Farinick, Vice Principal,
Middle School South. The district’s English as a Second L a n g u a g e p r og r a m w a s of f ic i a l l y re-designated as an ESL Model Program through 2018. The program is based in the district’s Adelphia School and in Middle School North. With all of the new things happening in the district this year, Isola said his intentions are to launch an extensive community outreach campaign. The campaign will include public meetings with community members and Isola as well as other members of the district’s administrative team. He will also be communicating through the school’s website and sending regular video updates to parents about what’s happening in school district, and solicit their feedback and suggestions. “We want to bring this information f rom t he con ference room t able to the kitchen table,” Isola said. “When parents and g uardians get engaged, I truly believe it makes our students more likely to succeed.”

Walsh believes the infor mal meeting between officials and community groups was a “nice beginning” but said much more needs to be done and that the county needs to attend the next meeting and be part of the solution. “I do think the county should be at the table and they might not have been asked but I’m sure the next time we go to the table to talk the county will be asked to send representatives because I don’t think all this should fall on the
municipality,” said Walsh. Walsh also addressed the county’s absence from the infor mal meeting, voicing his opinion that af ter some correspondence, the county should be present at the next meeting regarding the homeless and a vital part of the solution. “Some people tell me ‘taxpayers, it’s not their concern’ and I don’t buy that. I’ve spoken to different people on different levels. Whether they are homeowners, teachers or people that are renting here in Howell and all of them shared my concern. All of them
that I spoke to would be willing to do something to help alleviate and improve the situation of people that are in tough shape,” he said. Walsh insisted that this issue is not political and he is not driven by the politically correct thing to do. “I’ve spoken to many, many people who would be more than happy to chip in a little bit of their tax dollars to see that a family could get back on their feet; the children could have a roof over their head and food in their belly to go to school. It is a ridiculous statement that the general population does not care. I think the gen-
eral population cares greatly,” he added. Walsh believes solving the homeless situation in Howell needs to be done as soon as possible. Not only because it is the right thing to do but also out of fear of another severe recession. At the Town Council meeting Walsh referenced that in the past there were “50, 60, 70 people with children” living in the woods and that even though now we are in recovery, we shouldn’t risk that number increasing into the hundreds if there are hard times ahead. The next Town Council meeting is September 15.
Local Survivor Supports Heart Walk At Jersey Shore
LAKEWOOD – On October 29, Christine Rochelle of Wall, a congenital heart defect and stroke survivor, will walk to raise awareness about heart disease and stroke as she serves as survivor ambassador for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s Shoreline Heart Walk at FirstEnergy Park, home of the Lakewood BlueClaws. Shortly after birth, Rochelle was diagnosed with pulmonary valve stenosis, a thickened or fused heart valve that does not allow proper blood flow from the heart to the lungs. After a successful surgery at 6 months old, Rochelle was able to live a full life with minimal restrictions. Then at 27, Rochelle experienced a mild stroke that prompted additional testing with
her cardiologist. Although she suffered no residual effects from the stroke, her cardiologist found another congenital heart defect, and a few months later, Rochelle had surgery which successfully fi xed the defect. She now has yearly checkups with her cardiologists, but is able to live a full life without restrictions. As survivor ambassador of the event, Rochelle will help rally businesses, community groups and individual walkers to support the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s mission of building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. She will share her story with attendees on walk day to help raise critical funds to support heart and stroke research.
“My experience has made me realize that we need more research and awareness around heart disease and stroke,” states Rochelle. “The Shoreline Heart Walk is great opportunity for the community to come together for a great cause and to learn more about living healthier.” The Shoreline Heart Walk brings hundreds of Monmouth and Ocean County families, organizations and businesses together annually for a fun event fi lled with cardiovascular wellness, thanks to the support from local sponsors including Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey Natural Gas, RWJBarnabas, CentraState, Food Circus Supermarkets, Inc., Mid-Atlantic Su rgical Associates, WCHR 105.7 The Hawk, WOBM
92.7, WOBM 1160 & 1310, WJLK 94.3 The Point, and WBJB 90.5 The Night. Heart Walks, which are nationally sponsored by Subway, are the signature community event for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association focused on raising funds to support the fight against heart disease and stroke – our nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 leading causes of death. The Heart Walk is designed to promote physical activity and hearthealthy living through a fun environment that’s rewarding for the entire family. To learn how you can join Rochelle at the American Heart Association Shoreline Heart Walk, visit ShorelineHeartWalk. org, call 609-208-0020 or email ShorelineHW@heart.org.

EDITORIAL 15 Years, Never Forgotten This September 11 marks 15 years since the tragedy toppled towers and shook the nation, killing nearly 3,000 and injuring thousands others that day in New York City, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. Ocean County lost 19 of its residents in the attacks. In the immediate months after these deadly tragedies, residents clamored to find American flags and showed their patriotism in countless small and large ways. We pledged to Never Forget. We hung patriotic signs, supported or organized charity events for the victims. Our local emergency responders were among those who aided in rescue and clean-up. Others enlisted in military service in the War Against Terror, signing up to make the ultimate sacrifice. As months turned into years, the nation was no less removed from the impact of September 11th, whether the impact to the global economy or national security. The pieces of steel from the World Trade Center became local memorials found in the lobbies, vestibules and public gathering spaces of nearly every town. Those spots and others, such as the “Angel in
Anguish” sculpture at Windward Beach in Brick, each year host the commemoration and memorial observances that are held on the anniversary of the tragedy. In 2010, an area outside the Ocean County Freeholders building where several war memorials are installed, grew to include the installation of a piece of a steel girder from the World Trade Center which was added to the monument, laid upon a black base. The inscription reads: “World Trade Center Steel, presented to the citizens of Ocean County on the 10th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. With a heavy heart, America will forever remember.” Six more years have gone by since that inscription was made. Do we still remember as we did then, or 15 years ago? Remembering in your heart and with action can take so many forms. Wave the flag, attend a remembrance ceremony, help advocate for legislation that would help victims by contacting your legislators, or simply reflect on the fabric of the nation that has been woven along those 15 years. Now – and any day – is still a moment to Never Forget.

L������ T� T�� E����� The “Loose Cannon” Candidate During his campaign Donald Trump has had plenty of chances to do (or say) stupid things and he’s taken full advantage of his opportunities. Here’s a man that said if elected president, he will deport twelve million aliens, punish women for having abortions, and will keep Juan, Jose and Carmelita out of the U.S. by building a wall on our southern border. I recall the French built a wall to keep the Germans out in WW II – how’d that work out? When is someone going to explain to Donald that ignorance is not virtue? More often than not, his prejudice clouds and darkens every sentence, every paragraph of his rhetoric. With Mr. Trump, it’s always winter but never Christmas. You’d think by now even those with limited intellectual resources would be able to connect the dots. Not only does the “loose cannon” candidate becoming president scare the bejesus out of most rational human beings, some Republicans harbor a suspicion that Trump is really a RINO! To the far-right crowd, that’s worse than being HIV -positive, a homosexual or a practicing Muslim with a black wife with a union card on welfare. To paraphrase the late H.L. Mencken, on some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach
their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright insufferable dullard. When you look at the alternative, however, is the other choice really any better? Borden Applegate Jackson
Draft Dodging And Lies I am an 89 year old (almost 90) U.S. Navy veteran of W W I I who proud ly served in the South Pacific, along with many, many others. We had no draft dodgers in our crew. Bill Clinton is a draft-dodger (Vietnam era) who on August 8, 1974, in speaking of President Nixon said: “Any president who lies to the American public should resign.” Bill Clinton lied and did not resign, but married Hillary Rodham Clinton, the lying and very untrustworthy person running for President of the United States. They match very well and Democrats support these lying cowards. I’m glad we did not have a Draf t-Dodging Commander in Chief during W W I I, a nd t hose t h at support Hillary the liar, should not thank veterans for their service, because they would be hypocritical liars, just like Bill and Hillary. Veterans and draft dodgers don’t match. Yet veterans served to protect draft dodgers. Thomas Little Whiting

A Boon To The State? More Like A Looming Disaster Trenton politicians are busy making the case for why New Jersey residents should vote this fall to allow casino expansion into North Jersey. One thing they are leaving out of their pitch is how these casinos would create a traffic disaster at a time when our state simply cannot handle it. If the most optimistic reports are to be believed, casinos in North Jersey would bring tens of thousands of people each day. One of the proposed locations for a casino is the Meadowlands – already one of the most congested areas for traffic in the country – where visitors would share the road with Giants and Jets fans in the fall and concertgoers throughout the year. This could be a deadly combination considering that a 2010 study found “a strong link between the presence of a casino in a county and the number of alcohol-related traffic accidents.” For any of us that have to make the trip up to New York City every day, we know that means longer commute times and less time with our families. So even though they can’t build a casino in Ocean County, we will still feel the impact from the increase in traffic up north. The American Dream, of course, should do nothing to ease concerns. Billed as one of the largest entertainment complexes in the U.S., construction broke ground in 2004. But traffic delays caused by the development became so bad that in 2012 the Jets and Giants filed a lawsuit against its developer, and today, nearly 12 years later, the site remains
under construction, underscoring just how unpredictable massive projects like this can be. People coming to a casino in the Meadowlands would also be crowded onto the already-clogged New Jersey Turnpike and Route 17, as well as Route 3 – one of the main feeders of the more than 100,000 cars that go through the Lincoln Tunnel every day. The expanded traffic will cause highways, already in poor repair, to endure further wear-andtear, leading to even more congestion and more traffic issues for New Jersey commuters. And yet perhaps the most troubling part of this situation is the state of New Jersey’s Transportation Trust Fund, which ordinarily would be called upon to repair such roads. Currently, the fund is nearly depleted, and with the five-year funding program expiring this summer, Governor Christie recently declared a state of emergency, proclaiming that all “nonessential transportation projects” would be delayed. Proponents of expansion contend the traffic issues these casinos would bring would be handled accordingly. But similar claims were made prior to the Super Bowl – the last time major transportation worries were expressed – and that night ended with more than 30,000 fans facing hourslong delays on public transportation, chanting “Jersey Sucks.” To avoid similar outcomes in the future, New Jersey voters should reject the ballot initiative expanding casino gambling this fall. Doing so will allow Trenton to focus on solving the traffic problems we already have. Stu Weiser Jackson

Each year Director of Community Development Jim Herrman evaluates the Township’s roads and establishes a priority for f unding inf rast r ucture improvements. Mr. Herrman starts his list by
reviewing the pavement management report created in 2010 by Rutgers Universit y’s Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transpor tation. He then receives independent recom mendations f rom each Public Works foreman as these managers are on the roads ever y day. He reviews the Howel l Li s t e n’s c om pl a i nt system to identify roads that have numerous com-
plaints and cross checks these to see if DPW completed a work order for repair. All of these documents are compared and roads that show up on multiple lists are then personally evaluated by Mr. Her r man and DPW Director George Gravatt.

From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith: Smith’s Sudan Trip Comes With Zero-Tolerance Policy
Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – Just back from South Sudan, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Chairman of the House Africa Subcommittee, obtained a personal pledge from South Sudanese President Salva Kiir and a separate commitment from Defense Minister Kuol Manyang Juuk to issue a zero-tolerance policy for all armed forces against rape, sexual violence and human trafficking.
MONMOUTH COUNTY – The County Clerk’s 2016 Archives and History Day is right around the corner and Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon is enc ou r ag i ng New Je r sey historical organizations to be a par t of the big event, wh ich will t a ke place October 8 at the Mon mout h Cou nt y Libr a r y Hea dqu a r t e r s i n
The commitment came in meetings with Kiir and Smith on August 27 in Kiir’s presidential compound in Juba, and in a separate meeting with the defense minister and his top generals. Pervasive sexual violence by South Sudanese soldiers recently victimized American and international aid workers at the Terrain compound in the capital city of Juba. One of the rape victims—who asked for anonymity—is from Smith’s congressional district. “All victims of violence deserve protection and assistance,” said Smith, author of four laws designed to combat human traffick-
ing—including the landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, which, among other things, created the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons at the U.S. State Department, mandates the annual Trafficking in Persons report and provides for up to life imprisonment for human trafficking. “Although South Sudanese law currently prohibits rape and sexual abuse, a presidential decree on zero-tolerance for such abuse would send a strong message that such violations will carry immediate consequences— arrest and jail—whether committed by government soldiers or security forces,
armed opposition fighters, militias allied to the government or opposition or rival ethnic forces,” Smith explained. “The zero-tolerance decree can be issued and implemented immediately—as promised by the president himself—and could reduce per vasive sexual violence against women and children. These war crimes must stop and the perpetrators held to account.” Smith also pressed for unfettered access of humanitarian workers to the estimated 4.8 million people in South Sudan – well over one-third of the population – who are facing severe food shortages.
The most recent State Department human rights report, as well as similar reports from international organizations and South Sudanese civil society groups, cites widespread human rights violations throughout the country. These include ethnic-based extrajudicial killings, mass displacement of civilians, rape and sexual slavery through unrestrained trafficking in persons, arbitrary arrests and detentions, kidnappings and the recruitment and use of child soldiers. Smith praised the U.S. Embassy team headed by Ambassador Molly McPhee for their efforts to thwart famine and bloodshed.
County Clerk Readies For Archives And History Day
Manalapan. “This will be our 22nd annual Archives and History Day which celebrates local history and its supporting documents, organized by the Monmouth County Archives, a division of the County Clerk’s Office,” said Clerk Christine Hanlon. “Focusing on the history of Monmouth Cou nt y t ranspor t ation, t he eve nt w i l l fe at u r e
m ov ie s c r e e n i n g s a n d seminars for people of all ages, who will have the opportunity to get an in depth look at our history from the experts.” More than 60 local and state histor y organizations will set-up displays on topics relating to New Jersey history and their organization. With 300 expected attendees, Clerk Ha n lon encou rages all
local historical organizations to participate in the event and to sign up for an exhibitor table. “A rchives Day is designed for the public to connect with archivists, historians, and other preservationists,” said Gary D. Saretzky, Monmouth County Archivist. “This event is a great opportunity for local organizations to showcase their work
and educate the people about their preserved history.” The event will also include a histor y for u m, aw a r d s p r e s e n t a t io n s , and a tour of the Monmouth County Archives, for which a reservation is required. The deadline for New Jersey h istor ical organizations to sign up for an Archives and History
A U.N. resolution on South Sudan considered this month includes an arms embargo; it would be voted on by mid-September with a separate subsequent vote on the timetable for implementation. While in South Sudan, Smith had meetings with Ellen Loej, head of the U.N. Mission in South Sudan, Juba Archbishop Paulino Lokodu Loro, U.S. Ambassador Mary Catherine McPhee, Hafeez Wani from the NGL forum, Minister of Defense Kuol Manyanh Juuk, President Salva Kiir Mayardiit, 1st Vice President Taban Deng Gai and Minister of Finance Stephen Dhieru Dau.

Kumon Receives Accreditation From Middle States Association
NEW JERSEY – Kumon, the world’s largest after-school math and reading program, has received the distinguished honor of accreditation from the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS). “It is a tremendous privilege to be recognized by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools,” said Mino Tanabe, president of Kumon North America. “Accreditation is the gold standard for measuring and advancing educational improvement and it demonstrates our commitment to providing high quality education through the Kumon Method of learning.” Accreditation is an external, objective validation of school quality and student achievement that fosters continuous school improvement. To be accredited by the MSA-CESS, an institution must meet all of the MSA Standards for Accreditation. Using internationally recognized standards, an institution conducts a comprehensive self-study and evaluation, as well as
submitting to a rigorous peer review process. “Kumon has a rich and traditional history, but we have been absolutely amazed at the level of communication and planning that Kumon institutes in its endeavors,” said Daniel Rufo, Director of Accreditation for MSA-CESS. “The dedicated staff and leadership have outlined policies and procedures that make this operation tight and concise, which ultimately leads to an extraordinary impact on the children they serve.” Accreditation affirms that an educational institution is providing the level of quality in its educational programs, services, activities, and resources expected by its community of stakeholders and endorsed by the education world. When the Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools accredit an institution, they certify that it meets the prescribed standards of quality of the Middle States Association.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Prescription Medications That Make You Anxious By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
You wake up at 4 a.m. feeling tired, but wired and you keep twirling some person or event in your head, never going back to sleep. Something bad is going to happen today and you just k now it! Your chest pounds and you feel dread when you think about going to that event or speaking to a certain someone. These are the symptoms of anxiety, and some of you live with this every day, several times a day. Ruminating in a state of fear, panic or anxiety can cause other symptoms in your body that over time, wear your adrenals out and lead to severe insomnia, depression and high blood pressure. Stress can also cause ulcers. There’s a difference between an anxiety or panic attack and generalized anxiety disorder or GAD. The difference is one is finite and quick and the other is constant. GAD sufferers often expect the worse, when there’s no real reason for concern or they may fret about health, money, family or work issues. When you find that these intrusive thoughts are occupying much of your day, it’s time to do something about it. As a pharmacist, I bet you think that I’m going to recommend a tranquilizer, but I’m not. That is the worst, possibly thing you could do and I rarely recommend drug treatment for this. In fact, I hold the opposite belief. I actually want you to consider the fact that a medication you take is causing the anxiety and changes in your mood. For almost 7 million folks with GAD, it’s
very possible that most of them are taking a medication that induces anxiety. Here’s the list of some of the worst possible offenders, you are going to be stunned. If you take any of these, speak to your doctor because you will need to find a suitable alternative or follow very careful tapering instructions. Stopping suddenly could be a disaster. Here goes: Tranquilizers. Shocker isn’t it?! The medicine you may be taking to relax can actually lead to anxiety and panic attacks. According to a 1995 study, it was known that in almost half the patients seeking advice for anxiety, panic and phobias, the cause was either alcohol or benzodiazepine drugs like clonazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam and others. The mechanism is complicated, but it’s due to a rebound arousal. Getting off these drugs is a nightmare, so I’d say don’t even start. Allergy medicines. It’s in the pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant. This is a stimulant and can cause you to feel anxious. Sleeping medicine. It’s hard to believe but these drugs don’t put you into a restful, natural sleep. Oftentimes, they steal your REM sleep, and so over time you actually become sleep-deprived. Anxiety sets in. Asthma inhalers. The albuterol in these medications is the offender, it’s great to help open up breathing passageways, but it causes a person to feel stressed and hyperactive. For a more comprehensive list of medication categories that spark anxiety, sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
&ASSOCIATES
Seek Some Help To Work Out The Differences
Dear Joel, I have an issue that I haven’t been able to discuss with anyone else and decided to write to your column. About two years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. As you can imagine it was a frightening experience and all things considered I am doing well. I did undergo many forms of treatment which changed some of my sensations, gait and certainly outlook on life. The good news is that I have been cancer free. I am celebrating a new sense of health that I didn’t appreciate before this happened. Here is my problem. My husband was always a very physical man. Since my illness, I have no appetite for sex and fi nd him very insensitive. There has been a lot of tension in our home and I would like your opinion as to who is right and who is wrong. Answer: First of all thank you for writing. I must start by saying that although many people think that I am a physician. That is not the case. That being said, working in home health care for as long as I have, I hear
COUNSELLORS AT LAW
many personal stories. Your situation is not unique. There are many reasons why couples drift apart sexually, even when illness has not been an issue in the relationship. Your last sentence of “who is right in this situation” is an interesting one. I am less concerned about who is right and more concerned with helping you as there really isn’t a right or wrong. Although, I can’t be certain, my guess is that the two of you will not be able to work this out by yourselves. I suggest seeking a marriage counselor, sex therapist or other mental health professional. The answer may be right in front of you but neither of you knowing how to find it by yourselves. I wish you good health and truly hope that you can work through your differences Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Public Hearing For $13M Sewer Project
HOWELL – A $13.95 million project to install sewers in Freewood Acres and along Route 9 will have its public hearing September 12, as part of approvals with the state Department of Environmental Protection. The Township will host the public hearing on September 12 at 5 p.m. to hear public comments on the Freewood Acres and Route 9 North Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. Township officials have said previously that this project will address ongoing issues that involve failing septic systems and sewer problems in those areas, but the project

will provide a new sanitary sewer system for most of Freewood Acres, portions of Route 9 and some Township properties associated with the Land O’Pines School. The estimated cost of the proposed project is $13,955,084.94 and the Township is seeking loan funds through the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust. The public hearing is required by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, who has reviewed the proposed project and concluded that a Level 2 Environmental Review is necessary in order to qualify for any financial assistance from the NJEIT.

on Fort Plains Road that she claimed had been reported for a number of violations over the past several years without any permanent solution or serious consequences for the parties involved. “Every time the (inspectors) go out, give them fi nes and it goes to court, the parties don’t show up and it’s like they’re laughing at the township,” O’Donnell
said. “They either say ‘I’m not going to pay the fi ne,’ or ‘the fi ne isn’t enough to worry about so I’ll just pay it.’ And it never corrects the problems going on there.” When introducing the new ordinance later in the meeting, Mayor William Gotto made a point to note that after much discussion, the fi nancial penalty for violations was amended to be more harsh – a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $2,000 – to underscore the severity of code violations.
Other highlights from the meeting included: The council renewed shared services agreements with Howell’s school board for the use of part of Southard School for township recreation programs, and with Farmingdale Borough for public works services. The council authorized the awarding of several professional services contracts, including two contracts to T&M Associates: a $39,900 contract for a pipe replace-
ment program and a $49,000 contract to conduct a state-required hydrology study on the Lake Louise Dam so that a project to rebuild the dam, the road and the parking lot can begin. A second ordinance was introduced at the meeting to establish additional no-parking restrictions, speed limit restrictions and a stop intersection on Bry Avenue and Calloway Street. It will be put up for approval at the council’s September 12 meeting.

Inside The Law Injured at Work? Know Your Rights to Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s
authorization. Further, it is importChristopher R. Shea Esq. ant to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case.

Business Profile By Robert D. Verderese Those who want an alternative to the talk show format need not look any further. Tune in to “Preferred Company” with Joel Markel, President and owner of “Preferred Home Health Care” and his co-host, M ar ianne Lev y, airing 8 to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday, on WOBM-AM (1160 and 1310). Chock-full of fun and friendly talk, along with game shows, trivia contests, nostalgia and celebrity inter views, “Preferred Company” is the perfect blend of good conversation and entertainment that is sure to please. While there are many dimensions to “ Pre ferred Company,” the one that listeners are immediately struck by is the wonderful chemistry between Joel and Marianne: “It’s like we can read each other’s minds,” Marianne says. Moreover, when you li ste n to “ Pr efe r r e d C o m p a ny,” you cannot miss the spec i a l c o nn e c tion that Joel and Marianne have: “ There really is a comfort and lightness between us that allows us to bring out the best in one another,” Joel adds. So what is it besides “good chemistry” between Joel and Marianne that makes “Preferred Company” stand out from the crowd? Well, for starters, the show’s format is almost entirely unscripted: “ We don’t know what we’re going to talk about five minutes before the show goes on the air,” Marianne
STAKES ARE HIGH
admits. For some in the radio business, the idea to do a show with no script would be a frightening prospect, but at “Preferred Company,” it is the only way to do a radio show. For instance, Joel desc r ibes the unique ness of the show in the following way: “What makes our show special is how natural the format is—it’s like we’re having coffee with you at a restaurant where any subject can be discussed at any time.” To be sure, “Preferred Company” distinguishes itself from many radio shows in that it is consistently interactive by way of phone calls and emails. Unlike many other talk shows that rarely, if ever, take phone calls or respond to emails, “Preferred Company” considers interacting with their audience as an essential part of the program.

Listeners can also connect with “Preferred Company ” by downloading an App called “ R a di o p u p” to t h e i r smartphones. People f rom all around the world listen to Joel and Marianne via this App: “We love “Radiopup” and how it allows us to connect with people from all types of backgrounds. It really gives our show another level of c onnectivit y — it ’s wonderful!” says Marianne. Speaking of wonderful, let’s not forget about Joel’s lovable puppy Oliver and Marianne’s “favorite,” Norman: “I love dogs and love to share dog stories with our listeners,” says Marianne. Discussing everything from the smar test

Do you want to harken back to “the good old days’ of yore? At “Preferred C o m p a n y,” you can travel with Joel and Marianne on a “Streetcar Named Nostalgia” and reminisc e about how things used to be. “Many of our listeners are baby boomers and enjoy talking about t h e p ast .

You can make more money than usual if you are willing to work hard to get it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pump up the pace. You possess necessary stamina to achieve success. Ignore people who try to undermine your self-confidence. Go ahead with a creative venture early in the week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Fan the flames with fanfare. There is no reason to start something unless there you are dedicated to follow through. Someone in your family circle may give you support in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are what you think.

In the week ahead press forward with a business or financial idea. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Give the squeaky wheel some oil. The wheels of financial progress may turn slowly in the week ahead. You are on the brink of financial success but must remain realistic in temporary downturns. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t be discouraged. Some people allow negative scripts to rerun through their heads when their high standards aren’t met. Focus on reaching your goals fearlessly as this week unfolds.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Showcase: Classic Soup Features Smorgasbord Of Veggies By Wolfgang Puck
Anyone who knows me, has eaten in my restaurants or reads my cookbooks probably knows how much I love vegetable soup. After all, I grew up in a small house with a big garden, the harvest from which helped my mother and grandmother feed our family of six every day. Often, that meant adding generous bowlfuls of freshly cut up vegetables into a big pot simmering away on our stovetop. We lived in Austria, not far from the Italian border. So it’s not surprising that one of my favorite home-cooked meals featured some version or other of the classic Italian soup called minestrone. And I say “some version or other” for a good reason. The word “minestrone” literally means “that which is served,” meaning that the soup is really whatever results from what a home cook might find in the garden, the pantry or the refrigerator. In other words, minestrone can vary greatly not only with the seasons but with the personality and style of the person cooking it as well as with the occasion itself. Every home and restaurant cook has his or her own version, and I know of many cooks - myself included - who almost never make minestrone exactly the same way twice. So I’d like to offer you a recipe for the version of the soup that I think works perfectly in late summer. It abounds with some of the produce you’re likely to find in farmers’ markets or pick from your own vegetable garden, including fresh shell beans such as kidney beans, green beans and yellow wax beans. But I’d like to emphasize that you should feel free to follow this recipe only as a basic blueprint. You can add diced zucchini or other thin-skinned summer squash, for example, if that’s what you have a bounty of in your garden, substituting them for the fresh beans if you like. Or add more tomatoes for a brighter red, sweeter tasting soup; or use yellow onion instead of the leek. Just be sure to start cooking firmer-textured vegetables earlier and add quick-cooking ones later in the process, so everything will be cooked to the right tender-but-firm consistency. You can also feel free to leave out the few slices of prosciutto, which I add for the hint of rich, meaty flavor they contribute, if you’d like a vegetarian soup. Whatever selections you include, you’ll find this yields a robust soup so satisfying that you could make a meal of it, which is why I also include instructions for making Parmesan-topped, oven-baked toasts to serve alongside. So please try your own version of minestrone soon and enjoy the best of the season. HEARTY VEGETABLE MINESTRONE WITH PARMESAN TOASTS Serves 6 For the minestrone: 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for seasoning and serving 1 1/2 large leeks, white and pale green parts only, thoroughly rinsed and cut crosswise into thin slices
1 large fennel bulb, tops trimmed and reserved for garnish, bulb coarsely chopped 4 thin slices prosciutto, coarsely chopped (optional) 2 stalks celery, diced 1/2 cup (125 mL) shelled fresh kidney beans or other fresh shell beans 1 large tomato, seeded and diced 2 rounded teaspoons minced garlic 1 small sprig fresh rosemary, cut in half 2 quarts (2 L) good-quality canned vegetable stock or chicken stock 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned tomato sauce 1 cup (250 mL) diced firm, mild-tasting mushrooms such as shimeji, trumpet, cremini, or regular cultivated mushrooms Kosher salt 2/3 cup (165 mL) uncooked small dried pasta tubes, such as elbow macaroni or tubetti 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped green beans, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces 1/2 cup chopped yellow wax beans, cut into 1/2inch (12-mm) pieces 1 tablespoon honey Freshly ground black pepper 3 large sprigs fresh basil, plus extra small sprigs for garnish For the Parmesan toasts: 6 thin slices whole-grain bread 3/4 cup (185 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling For the minestrone, heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and fennel and saute, stirring frequently, until they just begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the prosciutto, celery, kidney beans, tomato, garlic, and half the rosemary. Saute 5 minutes longer. Stir in the stock, tomato sauce and mushrooms. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, in another pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time, then drain. While the soup continues cooking, make the Parmesan Toasts. Preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Place the bread slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with the Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until the bread is well toasted and the cheese has melted and browned, about 10 minutes. Add the green and yellow beans to the soup. Season with salt. Stir in the honey. Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 30 minutes total simmering time. Stir in the drained pasta. Season with pepper. Add the basil and remaining rosemary piece. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Reduce the heat to very low and simmer for a few minutes more. Remove the herb sprigs. Ladle the soup into heated bowls and garnish with fresh basil sprigs or other herb blossoms. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve with Parmesan toasts.
