HOWELL – At Howell High School, the school community has had several successful drives to support charity organizations. T he Peer Leaders, Vocabula r y Football League, and the Key Club organized a coat d r ive that generated more than 1,400 coats. Approximately 1,000 coats were donated to the New York Giants front office to benefit the annual New York Giants Stadium Coat Drive. More than 400 coats were also donated to Lu nch Break of Red Bank. Those coats were distributed along with hot lunches to local families in need. In addition, the Peer Leaders, Football Team, and Vocabulary Football League participated in

By Courtney McCann OCEAN COUNTY – Most lost and founds are for mittens, sweaters and the occasional hat or scarf. At the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library, the lost and found is home to all of the odds and ends that borrowers leave i n book s a s
makeshift bookmarks, rather than dog-earing the pages of the latest James Patterson or Nora Roberts. That includes what appear to be treasured family moments, in photographs left between pages. “Sometimes it’s a piece of yarn or string,” said Rachael Lavoie-Dohn,
chief librarian of the Toms River branch. “Maybe an expired plane ticket.” In July, a table was set up in the lobby with unclaimed items, but staff requested that patrons who had lost photographs ask at the desk rather than put them on display. That’s when Senior Library
Assistant Maureen Borkowski decided to find a safe, yet private way to store photos up at the circulation desk. “Maureen decided to put them in a binder with plastic inserts so they would be protected and able to be viewed easily,” Lavoie-Dohn said. (Libraries - See Page 5)

Police Recruits Graduate And Embark On A Career In Law Enforcement
FREEHOLD – Sheriff Shaun Golden announces the graduation of the newly sworn–in law enforcement officers from the Monmouth County Police Academy. In December, 60 officers of the 91st Basic Course for Police Officers received their police training commission certifications during a ceremony at the Monmouth County Police Academy. “By successf ully completi ng this training, these f ine men and women have demonstrated their commitment to law enforcement,” said Golden, whose agency had one sheriff’s officer, S/O
Royston Hercules, graduate. “That is a great privilege, since there is no greater responsibility, than maintaining public safety. I’m proud of their accomplishments and commend all for a job well done.” The Basic Course for Police Officers is a 20–week program with 780 hours of training run through the Monmouth County Police Academy. Upon successful completion of the police training c om m i s sion a p p r ove d c u r r ic u lu m , the officers are well trained and well prepared to serve their respective law

calls for one residential apartment building containing 52 units and two commercial buildings to include a 2,010 square foot retail space. The development will also include a 2,010 square foot bank and a 2,552 square foot Tim Horton’s restaurant. Projects At the end of 2016, the council and administration were working on several projects expected to continue through this year. One was investigating how to dredge Lake Aldrich and Lake Louise, with the council recently approving a study for those measures. Another was whether food truck laws needed to be amended. Currently the trucks cannot station themselves in certain areas even with the approval of the landowner and only more mobile trucks such as ice cream vendors are approved for licenses. Possibly the largest scale project is the sewer expansion of Freewood Acres and portions of the Route 9 corridor. The infrastructure project would provide sewer operations to those two neighborhoods, where there are currently none, in a project expected to take two years to complete.

you feel badly about. Those old family photos that seem like they would be heirlooms for someone.” In addition to photos and other items being forgot ten in ret u r ned librar y books, memorabilia are also sometimes left in books that are donated to the library. “Not too long ago staff noticed a ‘grandmother’s diary’ which came in with donated books,” Lavoie-Dohn said. “The diary, from the grandmother to a grandchild, contained family photos and with some detective work, staff were able to reunite the item with the family.” The moral of the story? Keeping a borrowed book’s pages pristine is much appreciated, but it may be best to invest in a few bookmarks rather than reaching for the family photo album. “We are happy that people aren’t folding down the pages,” Lavoie-Dohn joked. “But we wish they weren’t using something as special as a photo.

Howell’s board of education for the elementary, primary and middle school district welcomed two new faces and an incumbent for their full terms: Laurence Gurman, Cristy Mangano and Mark Bonjavanni, respectively. Issues The township races saw much discussion over development issues, as proposals continue to come before the planning and zoning boards for new businesses and residential development in Howell. Among the projects proposed are 100 age-restricted units on Route 9 between Estelle Lane and Alexander Avenue in a plan through MGD Holdings.

The book itself is a snapshot of daily life. “One of our older photos is of a police officer in full regalia,” Lavoie-Dohn said. “You wonder what the stor y is behind it.” The library staff members do their best to track down the owners of items they find within the pages when checking books back in. If the makeshift bookmark is an invoice or envelope with contact information, the job is much easier. And some patrons come back looking for their photos on their own. But photographs with just a name, date or landmark are much more difficult to track down. “There was a photo of two women on a city street that just said 1929 on it,” Lavoie-Dohn said. “Those are the ones

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
EDITORIAL Our Mission Continues With the birth of a new year, we are preparing to mark our 22nd anniversary on April 18 by continuing the mission to which we have always been dedicated. This mission, which has been contained within the first edition of all our seven weekly newspape r s we have lau nched to d at e, i n essence states that “the mission of a local newspaper should be to promote the highest ideals of community life,” by publishing “accurate, comprehen sive news and lively commentary” so that “our readers are encouraged to feel the fulfillment of participating in all aspects of their community.” In commemoration of our 20th anniversary, the success of our mission was validated by a proclamation issued by the Ocean County Board of Freeholders, as well as a number of municipal officials representing the communities which we serve. Moreover, we have
used our publications a nd on l i ne pre se nce for the benefit of many worthy non-prof it organizations through the years. One of our most impor t ant com mitments for many years has been to the Ocean Cou nt y Vocat ional Te c h n i c a l S c h o o l s , where both I and members of our company have held trustee seats on its foundation for the purpose of raising money i n suppor t of the schools and its students. In the evolution of the moder n workplace, this mission is more i mpor t a nt now than ever. As we move forward and our mission continues, we have augmented our weekly newspapers with an increasing online presence, including all forms of interactive social media, so that we can ensure that our mission will continue and increase in relevance for many, many more years to come.

Never Trust A Politician I received politicians’ tax cut flyer baloney. The biggest broad-based tax cut in the history of New Jersey, it says, thanks to Bob Singer, Sean Kean and David Rible. It goes on to say seniors get an average tax cut of over $1,000 a year. Where is the tax cut, Bob Singer? I’m 82 years old and have never received a $1,000 tax cut or rebate.

Narcan Training Is Simple, Life-Saving The use of Naloxone can save a life. Naloxone, also k nown as Narcan is an opioid antagonist used in opioid overdoses to counteract the life-threatening depression of the respiratory system. It allows an overdose victim to breathe normally. Although traditionally ad m i n istered by emergency response personnel, naloxone can be administered by lay people or public, making it ideal for treating heroin and other opioids overdoses. The training is simple and use of Naloxone results in a life saved. Here is what occurs in an opioid overdose. When too much of any opioid, like heroin goes into too many receptors, the respiratory system slows and the person breathes more slowly, then not at all. Because Naloxone basically knocks the opioids out of the opiate receptors in the brain, the overdose is reversed and the person is able to breathe again. However, it is a temporary drug that will wear off in 30 to 90 minutes and the person should be watched for sig n s of cont i nued
overdose. The overdose victim must seek medical assistance or call 911. Lack of oxygen from opioid overdose may lead to brain injury in as little as four minutes, yet the average EMS response time is 9.4 minutes. Seconds can count during an opioid overdose so it is vital if you have a loved one or friends who use, you need to have a plan in place. Most life threatening opioid emergencies occur in the home, witnessed by friends or family. Brand names of Naloxone are Evzio, Narcan injection, Narcan Nasal Spray. They all come with simple, lifesaving directions and are easy to administer. Upon purchase, read and k now how to use these devices and keep them readily available. S o m e s t a t e s h ave a third-party law where a concer ned pa rent, employee or nurse at a school can obtain Naloxone and administer it without facing legal repercussions (known as the good Samaritan act). If you come in contact with a high-risk i ndividu al, you should have this lifesaving overdose antidote. For more infor mation a nd t he availabilit y of naloxone, go to narcononnewliferetreat.org/blog/ n a loxo n e - av a i l a b i l it y. html.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
From The Desk Of Freeholder Serena DiMaso DiMaso Offers Tips For Facing Harsh Weather
F R E E HOL D – Wit h temperatures steadily dipping below freezing, Monmouth County off icials remind residents to take precautions when going outdoors in the extreme cold. “When the weather is ext re mely cold , t r y t o stay indoors as much as possible,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Serena Di Maso, liaison to the County’s Office of Emer-
gency Management. “If you have to go outside, try to make it as brief as possible and dress warmly.” When going outside in the extreme cold, adults and children should always wear: a hat, a scarf or knit mask to cover face and mouth, sleeves that are snug at the wrist, mittens (they are warmer than gloves), water-resistant coat and boots, and several layers of loose-fitting
clothing. “Always dress in layers, making sure that the outer layer of your clothing is tightly woven, preferably wind resistant, to reduce body-heat loss caused by wind,” said DiMaso. “Be mindful to remove layers if you feel too warm as excess perspiration will increase heat loss, which can result in hy pothermia.” Hy pother mia is a se-
rious condition that can be caused by cold temperatures. Hypothermia is abnormally low body temperature that occurs when the body is exposed to cold temperatures and loses heat faster than it can produce it. Once the body uses us its stored energy, hypothermia will affect the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. “Listen to your body and
don’t ignore shivering,” said DiMaso. “Shivering is a sign that your body is losing heat and persistent shivering is a sign that you need to go indoors. Your body is working hard to stay warm, so do not overdo it.” Cold weather puts an extra strain on the heart. Anyone with heart disease or high blood pressu re should follow their doctor’s advice about shov-
eling snow or performing other hard work in the cold. Even those without a heart condition should dress warmly and work slowly. For more information on preparing for cold weather, the County has compiled a Winter Emergency Preparation Checklist that is available on the Emergency Management section of the County website at visitmonmouth.com.
Bill Allowing More Retired Officers To Carry Firearms Clears Assembly
TRENTON – Legislation allowing more retired law enforcement officers to carry firearms cleared the General Assembly by a 77-0 vote. The bill is sponsored by Assembly men Dave Rible, Ron Dancer, Declan O’Scanlon, Parker Space and Assemblywoman Gail Phoebus. “There was some confusion in the way the law was written,” said Rible (R–Monmouth). “We had a number of frustrated law-
men come to us who had been denied a permit after long careers of public service with a gun and a badge. The State Police suggested that the Legislature clear up the confusion, and this bill does just that.” The bill (A2690) allows retired law enforcement officers such as state park police, parole officers, N.J. Transit and campus police among others to carry concealed weapons until they turn 75 years old.
“These men and women spent their careers fighting crime and keeping people safe,” said Dancer (R– Ocean). “They know the law and can handle weapons, and it makes sense to allow them to continue to carry a firearm.” In 1997, then-Gov. Christie Todd Whitman signed a law allowing retired police officers to carry concealed weapons in response to the murder of a retired policeman who attempted to stop
a car-jacking at a Newark cemetery. “These are men and women who have spent their careers fighting crime and keeping people safe,” said Dancer (R–Ocean). “They understand the law, they know how to handle the weapons, and it makes sense to allow them to continue to carry a firearm.” O’Scanlon (R–Monmouth) said, “This will only add to the number of qualified people prepared to defend
and protect us if the need ever arises. Tragedies such as the Colorado theater shooting could have been curtailed if a police officer, retired or otherwise, were present and armed. Having more among us will only help make us safer.” “A cop is a cop. They may have retired from their jobs, but not their commitment to ‘protect and serve’,” said Space (R—Sussex). “This legislation makes New Jersey more compliant with
the federal law and will make our neighborhoods safer and more comfortable for everybody except criminals.” “It will also allow the public to feel more secure,” said Phoebus (R–Sussex). “We have done a great job fighting crime in New Jersey, and the statistics prove it. But a single incident of violent crime is one too many. A retired officer with a gun may be able to prevent it from happening.”
Assembly Approves Bill Introducing Drug Prevention Program In Schools
TRENTON – Assemblyman Dave Rible’s legislation implementing a new drug prevention program in public schools was approved by the General Assembly by a 76-0 vote. The
bill (A2422) directs the education commissioner to roll out the Natural High Drug Prevention program to encourage students to follow a drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle.
The Natural High Drug Prevention Program inspires students to discover and pursue their “natural high” so they have a reason to resist dr ugs and alcohol. The bill directs
the Department of Education to introduce the program in each of the state’s school districts. “Dr ugs are a ser ious threat affecting tens of t hou s a n d s of f a m i l ie s across our state, and in my district,” said Rible ( R– Mo n mout h). “ T h i s positive and effective prog r a m mot ivat e s you ng people to pu r sue t hei r passions and avoid the dangers and hear tbreak that comes with drug and
alcohol abuse.” The program will use the organization’s cu rriculum and videos and create clubs at public high schools. A state educator on the program’s leadership council will help provide New Jersey-specific advice on the program. Natural High’s videos feature more than 50 celebrities telling inspirational stories. “Through entertaining short films with star ath-
letes and entertainers, students learn that there are drug-free options that can lead to personal happiness and professional success,” said Rible. “Introducing this to our students can prevent disastrous falls into the darkness of addiction.” Rible sponsored the legislation after learning about the Natural High program from former NFL running back Donald Brown, a resident of Spring Lake.

CentraState To Offer Free Program For Young Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder FREEHOLD – The TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank recently donated a total of $22,000 to CentraState Healthcare System as part of the foundation’s commitment to giving back to the community. As a result of this grant, CentraState will offer the free program, SUCCESS (Students Using Communication and Collaboration to Enhance Social Success), to help adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) develop and enhance their social skills. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in 68 children is identified as having ASD. In New Jersey, this number is one in 41 children. The number of people with ASD is on the rise, and it is estimated that half of a million children with ASD will become adults over the next decade. People with ASD are at a high risk for social isolation, which is correlated with negative health outcomes and decreased psychological wellbeing. Social isolation results from the difficulty children and youth with ASD have with making friends and engaging in social activities. This program will support adolescents with ASD as they discuss and practice social skills necessary to reduce social isolation and improve their quality of
life as they enter adulthood. The SUCCESS program is for participants aged 16 to 19 who meet certain criteria, including a documented ASD diagnosis, an interview with both parent and child to determine willingness to participate and the level of communicative ability, and a review of a current individualized education plan (IEP) through the child’s school or similar documentation. Participants will attend one session every week for 13 weeks at CentraState’s Star and Barry Tobias Health Awareness Center. This social skills awareness program will provide participants with experiential learning through facilitator-guided interaction with their aged peers, and each participant will work toward the development of a personal “toolkit” for social interactions, and have opportunities to role play and gain confidence. Parents of participants will be invited to meet at CentraState’s medical library during their child’s sessions, in order to explore educational resources available related to parenting an adolescent with ASD, and to informally network with other parents. For more information about the SUCCESS program, call Christine Forbes, medical librarian, CentraState Medical Center, at 732294-2668 or email cforbes@centrastate.com.

–Photo courtesy Bartley Healthcare Bartley Healthcare participated in the Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys For Tots nationwide toy drive for the 18th consecutive year. JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare participated in the Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys For Tots nationwide toy drive for the 18th consecutive year. Bartley Healthcare, and The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living, both hosted as drop off points for Toys For Tots. Between the two buildings, they collected three big boxes of toys. “This is everyone at Bartley’s favorite drive to contribute to. We could not be happier to give gifts, and send a message of hope to the less fortunate children in the community”, stated Debbie Shapiro, administrator at Bartley Healthcare. Participation in Toys For Tots is only one example of Bartley Healthcare’s commitment to community service, a commitment it has held since its inception in 1985. The campus not only supports charitable causes, it also makes available its facilities, and 25-acre campus, for community and professional events. This is the 68th year that Toys For Tots will be providing holiday cheer to underprivi-
leged children. Last year, various sites in Ocean, Monmouth, Somerset, and Middlesex counties, including Bartley Healthcare, collected more than 200,000 toys. Last year, Toys For Tots total support and revenue was $269,606,861. For more than 30 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson. Founded in 1984, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader with the experience in skilled nursing, post-acute care, and assisted living having been listed by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Nursing Homes. Bartley Healthcare is Joint Commission accredited with special certification for their Memory Care and Post-Acute Programs. For more information, visit bartleyhealthcare.com or call 732-370-4700.

Local Cancer Survivors Walk Runway At Fashion-Show Fundraiser
LAKEWOOD – It was a night of fun, fashion and a few tears, as 17 cancer survivors modeled stylish apparel provided by Macy’s at Monmouth and marked their fight against cancer. The Celebration of Life Fashion Show, held December 5 at the Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury, honored all cancer survivors and raised funds for the Cancer Support Community (CSC) at Monmouth Medical Center and Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus, RWJBarnabas Health facilities. CSC provides an array of free services for patients and their family members, regardless of where one receives treatment. Offerings include lectures, support groups, exercise classes and children’s programs at the hospital’s main campus in Long Branch and its southern campus in Lakewood. Bill Arnold, president and CEO of Monmouth Medical Center, noted that it was Frank Vozos, M.D., Monmouth’s longtime former president and CEO, who took up the torch of the struggling Cancer Support Community in Eatontown back in 2014 and committed to fully incorporating its programs and services into the hospital at both its main campus in Long Branch and its southern campus in Lakewood. The Cancer Support Community opened its doors at its new home on the Monmouth campus on February 1, 2015 in Long Branch and on March 1, 2015 in Lakewood. “Monmouth’s Cancer Services team, led by Joan Hogan, immediately and enthusiastically embraced the program and began the work of rebuilding the community” he said. “This past year, the Cancer Support Community at Monmouth Medical Center provided 600 free, professionally led workshops, lectures, support groups, exercise
classes, and children’s programs in its Long Branch and Lakewood locations. These support programs and services are offered to all cancer patients and those affected by cancer free of charge and regardless of where they seek treatment.” Some 250 guests attended the show, which raised more than $50,000 for CSC programs. Adding further poignancy was a video appearance by Honoree Arthur Greenbaum, Esq., of Tinton Falls, who was recognized for his strong support of CSC. The 91-yearold cancer patient and longtime Monmouth Medical Center board member provided a pre-recorded address for the event. During the touching video, the retired attorney recounted his successful battle against prostate cancer over more than two decades. Although recently diagnosed with acute leukemia, he spoke of feeling “lucky” for his long, happy life and beloved family. “As part of the night’s celebration, we were fortunate to honor Arthur Greenbaum,” Arnold said. “He is a longtime Monmouth Medical Center board member, a personal friend to many of us, an accomplished lawyer, a devoted family man and one of the champions of the Cancer Support Community at Monmouth Medical Center.” Also recognized were event chair and CSC volunteer Ellie Breslow, the committee members, models and other community members who helped make the evening possible. Dr. Vozos, who now serves as Executive Vice President, RWJBarnabas Health and Chief Executive, Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus, was credited with fully incorporating CSC’s services into both hospital campuses over the past two years. For more information about CSC programs, call 732-923-6090.

Before the advent of synthetic compounds, expensive medications and injections, the human body was accustomed to natural herbs and spices. Our planet Earth has thousands of healing plants that grew during biblical times. Even though I am a pharmacist, I believe that we can heal with what grows on Earth. Today I’m listing eight incredible herbs, all mentioned in the Bible, as well as their medicinal benefits. Almonds: Known as Prunus dulcis, almonds contain salicin which go on to form “salicylic acid.” This is the primary by-product of aspirin. We all know what aspirin is for, don’t we? Eating a handful of almonds each day is like consuming natural aspirin. A study published in The Journal of Nutrition found that almonds can decrease post-prandial (after eating) blood sugar, as well as insulin and free radical damage. Black Cumin: Known as Nigella sativa these jet black seeds can be used to flavor bread and other baked goods. You can buy black cumin seed oil as a dietary supplement which I often recommend for people dealing with neurological problems. If your child had intractable seizures, please mention Nigella sativa supplementation to your pediatrician because the research is easy to find, and very positive. Frankincense: Known as Boswellia serrata, this is a gummy resin, that contains compounds that might relieve joint pain by inhibiting the inflammatory cytokines that lead to discomfort. Research suggests that boswellia could improve ovarian and bladder health, and studies have already been conducted on people with those types of cancer producing
positive results. Garlic: I love roasted garlic on my pizza! This herb can support healthy cholesterol ratios while decreasing platelet aggregation like a blood thinner. It can inhibit Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) acting similarly the drugs lisinopril and enalapril. Myrrh: Known as Commiphora myrrha; I keep this essential oil handy for cuts. It smells awful, no lie, but it’s worth having because it’s a strong antiseptic and anti-everything. It could help reduce infection by a parasite, bacteria or fungus. Olive: Known botanically as Olea europaea. The olive branch conveys a universal symbol of peace. Olive oil contains oleic acid which is a fatty acid. This compound works in conjunction with vitamin D to support immune health. Saffron: Known as Crocus sativus; saffron acts like a natural antidepressant, anxiolytic and sedative. It contains many biologically active compounds including crocin and safranal which protect your levels of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. Because saffron provides cofactors for the SOD enzyme, it may be helpful if you have an SOD polymorphism. Sage: This herb was studied on patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease and researchers concluded that sage “produced a significantly better outcome on cognitive function.” Interestingly, sage was shown in lab studies to help reduce flare-ups of herpes-related viruses such as cold sores and genital herpes. If you love this information, just write to me at ScriptEssentials@gmail.com and request your own copy of “Medicinal Herbs from the Bible” e-book.

NJ CART
MONMOUTH COUNTY – A County Animal Response Team (CART) is a group of volunteers and other entities, such as government agencies and the private sector, with resources and personnel to respond to animal issues in disasters. The CART is organized under each County Office of Emergency Management and is based on the principles for the Incident Command System developed by FEMA. The CART plans, collaborates, and trains with other responder entities to provide a coordinated disaster response. Monmouth County Animal Response Team’s mission is to provide community awareness of disaster planning and preparedness for the families of companion animals as well as large animal disaster preparedness; and to assist in emergency sheltering of companion animals during disasters. We operate under the direction of the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, Office of Emergency Management, and are an all-volunteer team. The team can be mobilized to provide pet friendly emergency sheltering in conjunction with general population and access and functional needs shelters. In the event of an emergency, residents and their pets should be prepared to take shelter with family and friends outside of the affected area. Information on “pet-friendly” co-shelters will be broadcasted through all available media outlets. T he cont act people are Ch r isti ne Seminerio; CART leader; Mike Oppegaard, OEM Coordinator; and Eugene P. Hannafey, OEM Deputy Coordinator. They can be reached at 732-431-7400.

Hamilton Presentation At The Library
MANALAPAN – In celebration of the birthday of Alexander Hamilton in the 18th century, Dr. David Martin, president of the Friends of Monmouth Battlefield, and an award winning author, teacher and sought after lecturer, will present Hamilton v. Burr, the ninth in his series of programs highlighting events which helped shape Monmouth County. The program is at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters, 125 Symmes Drive, on January 11 at 7 p.m. No reg-
istration is needed, but is suggested, so notifications can be sent in the event inclement weather postpones the program until February 16. Interested persons can register by calling the library at 732-431-7220. Hamilton, who was born in the British West Indies, was an author, soldier, lawyer, politician and first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, and was most recently immortalized in the award winning musical on Broadway.

thor of the Federalist papers, considered a cornerstone of the American Experiment, Hamilton was always a controversial figure in American government. Although the year of his birth has been recorded as sometime in the mid-1750s, the precise day was determined to be January 11. Burr, the son and grandson of preachers, was born in Newark in the 1790s, and was a lawyer, politician, soldier, senator, and almost President of the United State,

Inside The Law Insurance For Homeowners
cover damage resulting Marc S. Galella Esq. from a broken pipe or other such causes, but it provides no coverage for any water that enters your house from the exterior. In addition to providing coverage for the repair/replacement of the structure of your house, you should also consider getting flood insurance coverage for the contents of your house. Earthquake insurance. Most standard homeowners insurance policies will exclude coverage for damage caused by earthquakes or other such ground movement. Although earthquakes are not common in New Jersey, they are not unheard of. Remember the Northeast earthquake of August 2011? Although this widely felt earthquake did relatively little damage in New Jersey, most people do not realize that they may have had no coverage if they did experience damage. Personal umbrella policy. This is an inexpensive form of liability insurance coverage for when liability to a third party exceeds the coverages afforded by your standard insurance policies (homeowners or automobile). In most cases a policy with $1,000,000 of coverage will cost less than $200 per year. Coverages are available for up to $5,000,000. The drawback is that you may have to increase the limits on your automobile coverage. You should consult a licensed insurance agent to help you decide what types of insurances and the limits of coverages you need to protect yourself and your home.

Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea & Associates When buying a house, you should know about the different types of insurance you may need to protect your new home. The purchase of a house is probably the biggest investment most people will ever make so you should consider the various insurances available to protect your investment. Here are some of the forms of insurance that you should consider: Homeowners/Fire Insurance. Often called “hazard” insurance by most mortgage lenders, this type of insurance will protect you in the event of a fire or other such casualty loss. There are several components to this kind of insurance. Casualty covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your house in the event of a fi re, wind damage, etc. You should also have coverage for the contents, i.e. your personal property located in the house. In addition, your homeowners policy will usually provide you with liability coverage to reimburse third parties for personal injury or property damage which you may cause to them. It is a good idea to make a list of all the items in your home and/or take photos of them in the event that you need to make a claim. If you have homeowners insurance, make sure that you have guaranteed replacement cost. Your homeowners policy may also give you coverage to allow you to stay in alternate housing in the event that you cannot occupy your house for a period of time due to covered damage. Flood insurance. As many people found out after Superstorm Sandy, homeowners insurance does not cover you for damage resulting from f looding. Homeowners insurance may

Tattoo It On Your Forehead
FEET FIRST
Most of us ignore them, but all of us depend on them. The sad fact is that most people only start to pay attention to their feet when something hurts. Four out of five adults eventually develop foot problems and most of them could have been prevented. Taking care of your feet includes making sure that shoes fit properly, that feet are kept clean and dry and small problems are taken care of before they become big ones. With 26 bones, 20 muscles and 33 joints in each foot, there is a lot that can go wrong. In the weeks to come, we’ll be bringing you information on your feet, how you care for them and possible corrective procedures. We are pleased to welcome you to our column. If you are experiencing any problems with your feet or ankles, we urge you to seek expert, professional care. At Family Foot Health Center, our goal is to educate each patient and begin a relevant treatment program with the highest quality and most technologically advanced services available.

Dear Joel: I have a situation and don’t know how to handle it. I work in a hotel in Ocean County. I referred a good friend of mine to my supervisor for an opening we had at the reception desk. I was looking forward to working with her. The work conditions are pleasant and the pay is good. She has been out of work for over a year. After the interview I asked my supervisor if she was going to be hired. His response was that she met all the qualifications but would not be hired. His issue was her tattoos which he said is not the image the hotel wishes to portray. She does have an abundance of tattoos on her arms. My question, Joel, is should I

There is no rule which prohibits someone from not hiring based on tattoos (as far as I know). I would think that most law firms, doctor’s offices and other places of employment may respond in the same way. She may have to look for work of a different nature. I wish her luck in her job search.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of jANUARY 7 - jANUARY 13
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Think outside yourself. Resolve to make your partner’s life just a bit better. As this week unfolds you might find that the support of someone else is necessary to sustain your own happiness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your cheerfulness attracts compliments. Remain faithful if you hope to enjoy a rapturous romp with a romantic companion. In the week to come your business sense might be out of kilter. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you are receptive and perceptive you can sidestep the deceptive. In the week ahead a close companion might be less than forthcoming. Resolve not to overreact to what seems like a betrayal. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It is tempting to remain tethered to togetherness. Make the most of your vacation engaged in quality time with family. Later in the week your loved ones might not have time for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sing a sentimental duet with your special someone. Perfect harmony is possible if you follow your intuitions. Don’t expect special favors or generosity from the boss in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Display a tranquil air to lure a lover into your lair. Your mate could be especially sensitive to your needs and wants. This is a good week to make lasting contentment and harmony a reality.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Build a cocoon of contentment. Relax within the warmth of a trustworthy relationship and find hidden benefits in your job. Frustrating situations might prevent you from attaining your goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A spirit of blissful agreement can make significant relationships the centerpiece of tranquility. Implement key plans and long term partnership agreements in the early part of the week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The only thing to fear is fear itself. Lucky breaks can improve your career outlook in the week ahead, but you must be able and willing to experiment with something new. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your comments to yourself. In the week ahead there could be some crossed wires in your communications. Resolve to be more understanding and open minded on the job. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fool around and fall in love without being foolish. Enjoy relationships that have a definite chance of lasting. Choose purchases with an eye on durability in the first part of the week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Listen to the words of the bard. “To sleep, perchance to dream” may offer necessary rest. Find peace and harmony in the week to come if you are willing to set your imagination loose.

Give Your Celebration A Lift With These Easy Souffles By Wolfgang Puck
As someone who enjoys fine dining while also trying to eat more mindfully, I’m happy to tell you that it’s possible to achieve both goals at the same time. So many ingredients have an air of luxury while also being good for you: salmon and other seafood, skinless poultry, lean cuts of meat, nutty-tasting whole grains, all kinds of vegetables and fruits. Prepare them in ways that maximize their flavor while limiting the fat and sugar you add, and you can have a special meal that that’s also a healthy one. That’s true even for dessert. As a perfect example, I’d like to share one of my favorite recipes for a final sweet course that’s incredibly luxurious and also remarkably low in calories and fat. And you can say it all in just one word: souffle. Souffles strike most people as a pinnacle of special-occasion dining. Served hot from the oven, they look like edible magic tricks: impossibly risen high above the rims of their dishes, light and airy and full of flavor. Many dessert souffles, of course, can defy the definition of “healthy,” being rich with egg yolks or chocolate and embellished with rich custard sauce or whipped cream. But remember that the airiness of souffles comes from beaten egg whites, which themselves are virtually fat-free; and there are other ways to enrich and sweeten the mixture. The following souffle recipe features the exotic, tropical flavors of passion fruit and fresh banana. (You can find passion fruit pulp frozen in many well-stocked supermarkets, or even buy it online with overnight shipping.) The souffle itself is so luscious and flavorful that it doesn’t even need added embellishments. The results: 140 calories per serving, with only about 25 percent of them from fat. And if you want to make the souffles extra special without being too overindulgent, you could also gently fold 1 ounce (30 g) of semisweet chocolate chips into the mixture before putting it into the ramekins; it’s a treat that won’t make the dessert too indulgent, adding only about 18 calories per serving. Better still, a souffle is the perfect dessert to enjoy with a glass of sparkling wine. So please join me in toasting a wonderful year ahead! BANANA-PASSION FRUIT SOUFFLES Serves 8 FRUIT BASE: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons dark brown
sugar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 4 ounces (125 g) very ripe peeled banana, chopped into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces 1/4 cup (60 mL) frozen, thawed passion fruit puree SOUFFLES: 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature 4 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar 6 large cage-free egg whites Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting First, prepare the fruit base: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over high heat and cook it until it turns nut brown, watching carefully to make sure it doesn’t burn. Stir in the brown and granulated sugars and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until it turns caramel-colored, about 5 minutes. Add the banana and stir until well coated. Continue cooking for 2 minutes longer. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the passion fruit puree. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature. To prepare the souffles, first preheat the oven to 425 F (215 C). Brush the inside bottom and sides of four individual 4-ounce (125-mL) ramekins with the room-temperature butter. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar over the butter inside a ramekin; repeat the process with the remaining ramekins. Put the egg whites in a clean bowl. Beat with a hand mixer at medium-high speed while slowly sprinkling in the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar. Continue beating until the egg whites form moderately stiff peaks that barely stand up straight when the beaters are lifted out. With a rubber spatula, gently fold half of the beaten egg whites into the cooled banana mixture. Then, fold in the rest of the egg whites until just a few streaks of white remain. Spoon the souffle mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, mounding it above their rims. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the center of the preheated oven until they have nicely risen and their tops are golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the ramekins to individual serving plates. Serve immediately, dusted with confectioners’ sugar.
