Memorial School Achieves Sustainability Certification
By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell’s Memorial Elementary School knows that “going green” can really pay off, especially as the recent recipient of the Bronze Level Certification from New Jersey Sustainable Schools for their sustainability efforts in the classroom. Memorial’s community garden program has grown from one small act of resourcefulness and “has spiraled into a whole school initiative,” according to Principal Raymond Gredder. Gredder not-
ed that this garden was the foundation upon which the school’s green efforts were built. Bronze Level certified schools are schools that have “a commitment to sustainability and succeeded in implementing significant first steps,” according to Sustainable Jersey. Bronze Level, just under Silver Level certification, requires: • The establishment of a mandatory green team • Implementation of 2 of 10 (School - See Page 5)

Non-native Tick Species Discovered In Monmouth County By Kimberly Bosco FR EEHOLD – The f irst Asian longhor ned tick has been identif ied i n Monmouth County and officials are urging residents to take precautions. The Asian longhorned tick is not a species that is native to the US but rather East A sia n c ou nt r ie s , s u ch a s
China, Japan, or Korea. The tick – also known as Haemaphysalis longicornis – has made its way to several New Jersey counties over the last few months, the most recent d i s c ove r e d i n Mon mout h County. The tick was brought to the Monmouth County Mosqui(Tick - See Page 5)

Kayak:
Continued From Page 1 ties there,” said Jim Herrman, Director of Community Development. It was announced on Aug. 27 that the new kayak launch ramp was added to Aldrich Lake. The kayak launch is attached to the dock, which was also added as part of the lake dredging project. The total const r uction took place over the course of about 9-10 months between October 2017 and June 2018, according to township officials. This included dredging the entirety of Aldrich Lake and implementing the new dock, which was not there before. Prior to the actual construction, the project incorporated years of planning and permit approvals dating back to 2004, according to Herrman. While the bulk of the work has been completed and the lake is open to the public again, the project is not quite
f inished. The addition of the kayak launch was just another step towards building recreation options. In addition to the kayak launch, the lake was also restocked with over 500 small fish recently. About 750 fish were moved out of Aldrich Lake for dredging and were relocated to the Manasquan Reser voi r, said Her r ma n. T he new fish come from the Hackettstown Fish Hatchery. There have also been four parallel parking spots added along Addison Road. There remains to be landscaping, trash receptacles, picnic tables, park benches, and signage implemented at the lake as well. “This work won’t be completed for a few weeks as the summer heat does not lend well to transplanting small plants,” Her r man explained. “Once complete this area will be a beautiful little space for our residents to enjoy.”

The Howell Times, September 1, 2018, Page 5 said Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto. “As always, the Mon mouth Cou nt y Health Depar tment will continue to gather and test all species of common human-biting ticks through our active surveillance program.” This species can carry with it serious illness such as SFTS virus, which causes severe fevers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In other parts of the world, such as the East Asian countries this species originates from, the Asian longhorned tick can pose a threat to not only hu-
mans but also pets and livestock. Although the ticks found in New Jersey have tested negative for pathogens, officials still urge residents to protect themselves. CDC officials offer these tips: • Avoid grassy, br ushy or wooded areas • Treat clothing and gear with products containing 0.5 percent permethrin • Use insect repellents registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (these should contain DEET,
picaridin, IR3535, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), para-menthane-diol (PMD), or 2-undecanone) • Check your body, your clothing, gear, and pets for ticks • Shower after being outdoors. Diseases transmitted via native tick species – deer ticks, lone star ticks – remain a significant concern for county residents. If you come across a suspicious tick, b r i ng it t o t he Mo n mout h C ou nt y Mosquito Control Division in a sealed container where experts can identify it.
only 150 are required. “Memorial’s application was approved for 18 actions in nine categories for a total of 190 points,” said Gredder, noting that the school went above and beyond the requirements. The school implemented various green concepts and practices into lessons and discussion, and through events with the school. Gredder stated that the school is looking
at even more sustainable ideas, perhaps building an outdoor classroom. “It is important to note that achieving this certification was truly an effort by the collective,” he added. “Staff took it upon themselves to participate in lessons, energy audits, projects and activities that helped bring eco-awareness to Memorial students and staff.” The Bronze Level Certification will last the
school three years. It also helps open doors in terms of grant opportunities. “We already have some grants which we are waiting on this year and I look forward to building on this tradition,” said Gredder. Schools achieving certification form Sustainable Jersey in 2018 will be recognized at an Awards Ceremony in Atlantic City during the New Jersey School Boards Association Workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 23.

Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
WASHINGTON, D.C – As the 2018-19 school year gets underway, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), along with U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Doug Jones (D-AL), Kamala Harris (D-CA), and Catherine Cortez Masto (DNV), re-introduced a bill to streamline the financial aid application process for
graduate and undergraduate students, in an effort to help more underserved students have access to financial aid and attend college. The Simplifying Financial Aid for Students Act of 2018 would simplify the FAFSA form, making it more accessible and easier to complete for low-income students by greatly reducing the number of questions a student

Feds Must Work Efficiently To Build New VA Hospital The federal government needs to work quickly, but intelligently, to build a new Veterans Administration clinic in Ocean County. It’s been said that some things on the government level move at a snail’s pace. The larger the bureaucracy, the slower it goes. So, if that’s true, then we probably won’t see a new VA hospital finished in Ocean County for a decade. After all, a location still has to be picked. Needs assessed. Plans drawn up and approved. I expect that the county – and whatever local municipality winds up hosting it – will expedite all approvals so that they don’t provide any speed
bumps along the route. I’m more worried about the federal government. I don’t think anyone would want the Veterans Administration to rush into a project and make mistakes, but I think I speak for everyone when I urge them to be efficient in the process. They must make a concerted effort to choose the perfect spot for veterans. They must build a facility that can truly address the needs of an aging population in Ocean County. And they must do it without wasting money. It’s an enormous undertaking, and I hope they realize how important it is. Chris Lundy News Editor

In Response To Attempts To Charge Trump With Treason
After reading Mr. Molinari’s opinion I thought that I might give him some of the suggestions that he asked for. First and foremost, the definition of treason in terms of any federally elected official is defined by the United States Constitution, not by Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary, or any dictionary for that matter, and it reads as follows: “Treason against the United

States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.” The author also cited Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution, which is known as the Disqualification Clause that enumerates what a sitting US president can be impeached for, which is “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Mr. Molinari’s opinion sug-
mitted treason by aiding and comforting “Putin’s Russia.” He did not elaborate on exactly what that entailed, but we might assume that it has to do with collusion since that was the reason that the special prosecutor has put in place. What must be understood here is that even if there was some sort of collusion on Trump’s part, that doing so is not an illegal act, and even if it was, the act would have happened while Trump was a candidate for office, not as a sitting President of the United States, so it’s questionable as to whether a president can be impeached for something that was done prior to being sworn in. What has also been lost in all of the noise is that Russia, while not exactly an ally of the United States, is not officially considered an enemy as is Iran or North Korea, thus one could not give aid or comfort to Russia under the Constitutional definition of treason. In terms of sedition, once again Mr. Molinari is incorrect since sedition, which isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, is considered constitutionally protected free speech and is in no way illegal (SEE: Brandenburg v. Ohio [1969]), and thus does not qualify as a high crime or misdemeanor. If Mr. Molinari would like to see an example of aiding and comforting the enemy he might want to look at the previous president, who, under cover of the night, gave billions of dollars over to Iran without consulting congress, and he also gave them the ability to make nuclear weapons by allowing that country to properly refine uranium, all the while its leaders were calling for the death of America and threatening Israel with nuclear annihilation. Iran is considered by most civilized countries around the world to be the leader in terrorism as it funds the various factions around the planet to aid them in their endeavors, yet Mr. Obama
idea to give Iran nuclear capabilities, and that somehow that deter them from using the technology to make nuclear bombs. Bill Clinton said the same thing about North Korea, and of course we know the history of how that worked out. President Obama also committed a high crime when he signed an Executive Order called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which effectively made law, something that presidents are expressly forbidden to do. Only congress can make law. The president can only agree to it and sign it or veto it. If we were to use the dictionary’s definition of treason as described by Mr. Molinari as being “the offense of acting to overthrow one’s government,” then again he might want to look to the former Administration since evidence has shown that it used the FBI, DOJ, and the IRS to spy on innocent US citizens, and as a means of throwing the presidential election in favor of Hillary Clinton. If colluding with Russia was the crime that the Democrats claim that it is, then both the Clinton campaign and the DNC would be guilty of it since they colluded with a British agent, who colluded with Russian agents, who then sold them a dossier of completely false information meant to discredit Donald Trump. In effect they colluded with another country to manipulate the results of the election. If ever there has been a more blatant acts of treason, sedition, disloyalty, and treachery against our government I would like to see that case. In conclusion, there is no evidence or proof that President Trump has levied war against the United States, given aid or comfort to any enemy, and nor has he in any way committed any act of treason or committed any high crimes or misdemeanors, because if he did it is likely that the Mueller investigation would have brought that out by now if for no
other reason than it would be compelled to tell Congress that impeachment should move forward immediately, and even if that wasn’t the case, given the enormous amounts of leaks that have come from the office of that special prosecution, there is no way something that big would not have gotten out by now. So, my suggestion to Mr. Molinari is that instead of picking up a dictionary he should perhaps consider taking a course in basic civics, which might set him straight on how our Democrat Republic works as outlined in our Constitution that sets the Rule of Law.

Freeholders Should Pay Legal Fees On Dec. 8, 2017, Monmouth County defendants, which includes Freeholders Thomas Arnone, Lillian Burry, former Freeholder Gary Rich, and former Freeholder, now Assemblywoman Serena DiMaso, were found to be in Contempt of Court and sanctioned for their willful and intentional violation of a court order entered by the Hon. Brian R. Martinotti, United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey. The Court found that their arguments that the valid court order restricted their First Amendment rights and that they were afforded absolute immunity for their conduct to be without merit. In his decision, the Hon. Brian R. Martinotti quoted the Third Circuit Court of Appeals: “A fundamental principle of the legal system is that all orders and judgments of courts must be complied with promptly.” This order was entered in open court, with the consent of Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, Assemblywoman DiMaso, and former Freeholder Gary Rich, whose attorney appeared
on their behalf. In fact, the Court found that “sealing the report was necessary,” and ordered it to remain sealed. Notwithstanding this valid court order, Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, Assemblywoman DiMaso, and former Freeholder Gary Rich proceeded to make public statements and allow for portions of the sealed document to be read out loud at a public hearing of the Freeholders. Due to their flagrant violation of the Court’s Order, the County Defendants have been ordered by the Court to pay the legal fees and costs associated with bringing this conduct to the attention of the Court. The Court stated that the County Defendants “do not deny they have revealed portions of the contents of the Report and cannot at this point undo what has been done,” and the Court properly imposed monetary sanctions for their egregious conduct. As Freeholders, Thomas Arnone, Lillian Burry, Serena DiMaso, and Gary Rich represented the citizens of this county in a position of public trust. In so serving, they took an oath in which they swore to support the constitution of this state, the Constitution of the United States, and the law generally. By violating a valid order, they violated that sacred oath and the public’s trust. I hereby call for the public censure of Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, former Freeholder Rich, and Assemblywoman DiMaso for their conduct. The Monmouth County taxpayers should not have to pay for their willful and intentional misconduct. Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, Assemblywoman DiMaso, and former Freeholder Rich should reimburse the county for having to pay legal fees and costs that were ordered by the Court. Should they refuse, they must resign from their office for placing this burden on the shoulders of our taxpayers. Freeholder John P. Curley

“Hot Shot For Tots” Program Pilot Successful In Monmouth County FREEHOLD – As part of National Immunization Month, the New Jersey Department of Health recognized the achievements of fifteen Monmouth County child care centers who participated in the New Jersey Hot Shots for Tots Immunization Campaign pilot. “The Hot Shots for Tots Campaign supports our goal of protecting children from preventable disease through good hygiene and vaccinations,” said Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto, liaison to the Monmouth County Health Department, who spoke at the event. “We commend these childcare centers for using creative approaches to educate children and parents about the importance of childhood immunizations, and hope that as the program expands, others follow suit.” Remarks were made by Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto, Monmouth County Public Health Officer Chris Merkel and representatives from the New Jersey Department of Health. The Hot Shots campaign is a voluntary incentive program that uses a point system to encourage child care facilities to promote best practices and improve immunization coverage. The following centers received awards: Gold Awardees: • Cambridge Park Preschool • The Goddard School of Hazlet • Holmdel Preschool • Lincroft Center for Children • Little People at Work, Inc. • Little Tree Preschool • Meridian Early Childhood Education Center • Monmouth Daycare • Red Bank Preschool • St. Ann’s Childcare Center Silver Awardees: • Eatontown Community Center • Farmingdale School • Give and Take Child Care Center • School Time Learning Bronze Awardee: • Oceanport Preschool “National Immunization Month serves as a reminder to parents about the importance of getting their children vaccinated to protect against disease,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “Children will be returning to school in a few weeks so parents and caregivers should check to make sure their children’s vaccinations are up to date.” The Hot Shots for Tots campaign will continue in Monmouth County this fall and expand to other counties as well. For more information on immunizations in Monmouth County, go to visitmonmouth.org. Information about vaccines and recommended immunization schedules can be found at the CDC website.

New Statewide Vote By Mail Will Affect November General Election By Kimberly Bosco FREEHOLD – A new law recently signed by Gov. Murphy has changed the Vote by Mail rules in New Jersey. Mon mout h Cou nt y Clerk Ch r ist i ne Giordano Hanlon is advising residents to be aware of the change. The new law allows a voter only two options for voting by mail, whereas voters previously had three options. A voter can now only request a Mail-In Ballot for one election or for all elections every year until the voter opts out in writing. The new law also states that all voters who voted by mail in the 2016 General Election be sent a Mail-In Ballot for the
2018 General Election, even if they did not request one. If a voter does not want this, they must opt out in writing with the County Clerk. These changes are effective immediately, according to Hanlon. All 2016 Mail-In Ballot voters will be sent a letter from the County Clerk’s Office advising of this change. The new Vote by Mail application can be found at MonmouthCountyVotes.com and on the Monmouth County Votes Mobile App. For more i n for m at ion about t h is change, contact the Cou nt y Clerk’s Elections Division at 732-431-7790.

Partnership For A Drug-Free NJ Seeks Volunteers For Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day Initiative
MILLBURN — The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey is looking for volunteers throughout the state to help spread awareness of the dangers of prescription opioids and actions that can be taken to protect families and communities from addiction as part of the third annual Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day on Saturday, Oct. 6. In 2016 — the most recent year with complete data — more than 42,000 people in the United States and 2,000 people in New Jersey lost their lives from an opioid overdose. The final death total for 2017 is expected to be even higher, and New Jersey is on pace to have
more than 3,000 drug overdose deaths in 2018. Through this statewide single-day initiative, volunteers will spread the message about the potential for dependency on prescribed pain medicine and its link to heroin use rates in our state. The effort will involve a two-pronged approach: informing prescribers and raising awareness among New Jersey residents and families. More than 5,000 volunteers participated in last year’s Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day, distributing crucial information on safe prescribing practices to healthcare providers, as well door hangers with information on the
link between prescribed pain medications and heroin abuse throughout communities. Each county will have volunteer coordinators who can help interested volunteers obtain materials and help them plan their outreach. Volunteers will be asked to devote the amount of time they can give, whether it’s a few hours delivering door hanger tags to homes in their community or 20 minutes during their lunch break distributing materials in their office. Anyone can volunteer: school clubs, scouts, religious groups, businesses. Coordinators for each county can provide more information on how to
get involved. Residents interested in volunteering can sign up at drugfreenj.org/knockoutvolunteers. The website also includes a toolkit, which provides electronic methods for spreading the message of Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day. Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day is a project of the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey, in cooperation with the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse; the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Addiction Services; and the Community Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Morris, with help from thousands of volunteers across the state.
Talking the Talk About Walking the Walk Use of Assistive Devices
B
By: Hillary Petetti, PT, In-Home Physical Therapist
eing able to walk is something that most people take for granted until they sustain an injury which prevents them from getting around. Think about all the times you walk during the day - even around your home: to the kitchen to get a snack, to the bathroom to take a shower, to the mailbox to pick up the circulars, to a family member to give them a hug. Now think about if you couldn’t do that. Many injuries result in pain, weakness, and loss of balance, all of which prevent walking without a high risk of falling and further injury. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE INJURED AND CANNOT SAFELY WALK ALONE?
Oftentimes your doctor or even your family member will recommend a walker or a cane, which in clinical terms are also known as assistive devices. The problem is that many people resist using them because they do not understand how to use them or they do not know which kind to use, as there are many different kinds of devices (e.g. standard walkers, rolling walkers, rollators, single point canes, narrow based quad canes, wide based quad canes). Unfortunately, just having a walker or a cane does not solve the problem. Sometimes people have the wrong device to suit their needs. For example, someone with very poor balance would require the greater support of a walker as opposed to a cane. Someone with a cardiac condition would require a walker
with wheels as opposed to one without to With your All-Care physical therapist, decrease physical exertion while walking. either in the clinic or at home, you will Using a device incorrectly can sometimes learn how to use your assistive device be just as dangerous as not using one at to get you walking more safely and all. Sometimes people have the device with less pain. Having the right device set up wrong, for example, too high or to address your problem and knowing too low. Using a walker that is set up too how to use it correctly will help improve high can lead to shoulder injuries. Using confidence with your walking and a walker that is too low can lead to back balance which may give you the further confidence to enjoy the activities (e.g. pain. going shopping, going out to lunch, Sometimes people have the correct device, cooking at home) which you might have set up correctly, but do not know how to stopped doing since the injury or illness properly use it.

Sometimes people have the correct device, set up correctly, but resist using it because of vanity or they feel doing so is “not really walking”. SO, WHO CAN HELP DETERMINE THE BEST DEVICE FOR YOUR PROBLEM, SIZE THE DEVICE, AND TEACH YOU HOW TO USE IT TO YOUR BEST ADVANTAGE?
ANSWER: your physical therapist. Physical Therapists are experts in determining the proper device, making sure it is the right height, and teaching the best use. Working with your physical therapist can also help you to see that using a device improves your independence rather than reducing it.

State: Official Stole $115,000 From Autism Nonprofit By Jennifer Peacock A state grand jury indicted the former CFO of New Horizons in Autism today for allegedly stealing $115,000 for personal use from the organization, the state attorney’s general office said Tuesday. Peter Pf lug, 55, of Freehold, was indicted on second-degree charges of theft by unlawful taking and misapplication of entrusted property and property of government, according to the attorney general’s office. Between June 2015 and February 2018, the state alleges Pf lug used $115,000 in the nonprof it’s funds, using New Horizons credit cards and checks, to purchase: • more than $36,000 for personal vehicles and expenses related to personal vehicles • approximately $10,000 for carpeting for his home
•
more than $35,000 for other renovations and repairs to the interior and exterior of his home • more than $20,000 for landscaping and fencing outside his home • more than $10,000 for new dining room and bedroom furniture and a new refrigerator • almost $2,000 for a fish tank and related equipment. Authorities executed a search warrant of Pflug’s Freehold home in April, where they say they “allegedly identified numerous items and home improvements paid for using New Horizons credit cards and financial accounts.” New Horizons is a Monmouth County-based nonprofit that receives most of its funding through a contract with the state Division of Developmental Disabilities. The organization provides services to those with autism, and operates group homes. “Pf lug is alleged to have abused his position as chief financial officer of this nonprofit by diverting funds for his personal use that were intended to provide services to individuals with autism,” Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said. “Most of this was taxpayer money, dedicated to funding group homes under a state contract, but Pf lug is alleged to have selfishly stolen approximately $115,000 for improvements at his own home as well as purchases of personal vehicles and other goods and services.” “This indictment should deter others in positions of trust who would consider stealing from the organizations they serve,” Director Veronica Allende of the Division of Criminal Justice said. “In this case, the betrayal was even more egregious because Pf lug allegedly stole public funds intended for the assistance of a particularly vulnerable population.” If convicted, Pf lug may face five to 10 years in state prison and a fine of up to $150,000. An arraignment date is pending.

Cayenne Stopped My Bleeding In 30 Seconds
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
You read all kinds of things on Dr. Google, eh? For sure I do while I’m researching what I’m going to write for you each week. I read some interesting articles last year which I made a mental note of. One was about cayenne pepper and how it could stop bleeding. I stored this fascinating detail in the back of my mind, should I ever cut myself again in the kitchen… which tends to happen more frequently than I care to admit. It came to pass one night when I was in a hurry again. I cut myself on an onion. The month before it was from cutting bread with a serrated knife that slipped. As a writer, you’d think I’d wear gloves or slow down! I did my usual things: • Held my arm above my head • Put an ice cube on it • Took a Tylenol to dull the aftermath pain • Squeezed my finger • Wrapped it in a cold, wet towel • Ran around the house yelling, “I’m bleeding!” • Prayed • Found Sam and whined that I was in a hurry again • Promised myself I would slow down in the kitchen • Swore like a trucker Nothing worked this time, the bleeding was pretty ugly. But then I remembered the cayenne pepper stories that I read on Dr. Google (lol!) and found a bottle of cayenne liquid extract in my supplement cabinet. It’s sold with a dropper. I drew up a dropperful
of this, closed my eyes and waited for the burn, then squeezed it onto my bleeding finger. Nothing happened. I tried again. It was an epic fail. Then I thought of using the actual cayenne pepper and rummaged around my spice cabinet to find my cayenne pepper (powdered). Mind you, I’m doing this all left-handed because my husband Sam was too freaked out and more in favor of driving me to an urgent care center. But I’m a little doctor-phobic, so instead, I dumped a generous amount of cayenne pepper onto a paper towel. Here’s where I found my bravery SNP, because as this is happening, I’m noodling this thought, “Who in their right mind would literally pour cayenne pepper onto a painful, oozing cut?” After 30 minutes of fussing with it, feeling like I have nothing to lose at this point, I went ahead and did the unthinkable. I dipped it! It stung, no lie. So for the first 15 seconds, I continued ONLY with the last 2 bullets (see above). By second 30, the bleeding had almost completely stopped! I couldn’t believe it. Cayenne pepper has been studied for its medicinal actions on prostate or breast cancer, multiple myeloma, migraines, psoriasis, neuropathy and more. I’ll share more details if you sign up for my free newsletter. Peppers are a nightshade so if you’re allergic to those, please avoid. In the meantime, you should start sprinkling cayenne pepper onto your eggs and avocado toast. Keep it in a safe place in case you need it for a minor finger cut.

Ruby Tuesday In Howell Now Closed
By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell is down one more restaurant as news recently surfaced of the permanent closure of the Ruby Tuesday restaurant on Route 9. A post in the Facebook group Howell Happenings NJ showed a photo of the sign the restaurant posted on their door to advise potential customers of their abrupt closure. The sign reads: “This Ruby Tuesday location is closed. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you
New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates, LLC
WE OFFER THE LATEST CLINICAL TRIALS TO OUR PATIENTS INCLUDING THOSE WITH: • MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME • PROSTATE CANCER • BREAST CANCER • LUNG CANCER
and look forward to serving you in one of other restaurants soon.” The news of the permanent closure has not only surprised the public, but also Ruby Tuesday employees, who apparently received no word of the change. The social media post also noted that some employees only found out when they arrived at work to see the sign on the door. There isn’t a clear number of how many employees have lost their jobs due to the restaurant’s closure, however, there has been no WARN notice filed with the state.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Rushing Holidays
Dear Joel, Happy Halloween! And while we’re at it, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! What is it with these stores?!?! Why do I want to shop for Christmas trees when I’m still using my beach chairs? I remember not too many years ago, you waited to see the holiday merchandise, now I really can’t remember what month it is half the time. Does this bother you? Answer: Oh my, I don’t want to sound like the Grinch, but yes, yes, yes. It really bothers me to see the stores rushing along the holidays. I feel like it takes away all the magic of the upcoming season and interrupts you enjoying the season you’re experiencing. SLOW DOWN, live in
the moment, go to the beach in summer, pick apples in the fall, and sip eggnog in the winter. I know there are many crafty-types who need to get an early start on their projects, but for the rest of us, we don’t need to be choosing Happy New Year’s hats in September. I can’t make it stop, but I can recommend that you pace yourself. Smell the roses, then the sun lotion, then the turkey, then the pine cones. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Monmouth County Officials Warn Residents Of Medicare Scams
FREEHOLD – As the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issues new Medicare cards with unique identification numbers to all beneficiaries, Monmouth County officials remind residents that they should be wary of fraud schemes launched by scammers. “These scammers have changed tactics now that social security numbers are no longer on Medicare Cards,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Monmouth County Division of Consumer Affairs. “We want to make sure residents are informed about these schemes to prevent falling prey to them and having to deal with identity theft or worse.” Common Scams: • Callers pretend to be Medicare representatives asking for a processing fee or other immediate credit card payment before a new card is issued. The cards are free of charge and are being mailed automatically to all beneficiaries. • Callers claiming to be from Medicare are asking beneficiaries to purchase a temporary card. Temporary cards are not being mailed out by Medicare and there is no cost. • Beneficiaries are asked to verify Social Security number, address or other personal information before a new card is sent. Medicare will not call beneficiaries to ask
for personal data. Caller says there is a problem with your new Medicare card, such as the card being lost or someone else has tried to use it. They ask for personal information or payment for a new card. CMS began mailing out new cards in April 2018 and the process is expected to continue until April 2019. You can review which states are currently receiving new cards at medicare.gov/newcard. Some scammers are asking beneficiaries to mail in their old Medicare Card. Do not send your card to anyone. As soon as you receive your new card, destroy the old one. If someone asks you for your personal information, for money or threatens to cancel your health benefits if you don’t share your personal information, hang up and call Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). If you suspect identity theft or feel like you gave your personal information to someone you shouldn’t have, call or visit online the Federal Trade Commission 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877382-4357). The Monmouth County Division of Consumer Affairs can provide assistance as well. Contact the office at 732-431-7900 or email consumeraffairs@co.monmouth.nj.us.

Certified Keratin Complex Salon
Inside The Law Is Your Property Being Properly Assessed?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
FULL SERVICE SALON
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates In a prior article, we talked about how the basis of a residential real estate tax appeal is whether the property is being assessed by the municipal tax assessor greater than the property’s true market value. One of the issues in making this determination is how the tax assessment established by tax assessor equates to the true value of the property. In all municipalities in New Jersey, there is what is called the “equalization ratio”. This is the number, expressed as a percentage, developed by the local County Tax Board to equalize the difference in tax assessments between the various towns in the county. The purpose of the equalization ratio is to ensure that each town pays it fair share of the county taxes. This imbalance occurs because towns reassess or revaluate their tax assessments at different times. Thus, a town that reassesses its real property assessments in the current year will have different real estate values than a town that reassessed four years ago. In a rising market, properties in the town that just reassessed would have higher values than those in a town that had not re-assessed. The equalization ratio for each town can be obtained from the Tax Board in each county or the municipal tax assessor. In Ocean County it is available on the website for the Ocean County Board of Taxation. Accordingly, you must look at the equalization ratio for your town and use that with the tax assessment to determine what the town is showing as the market value for the property. To do
this you must divide the assessment by the equalization ratio. For Marc S. Galella Esq. exa mple, a prop e rty that is assessed at $200,000.00 in a town where the equalization ratio is 96% would have a market value of $298,333.00. In another town where the equalization ratio is 86%, the town is showing that the market value is $232,558.00. In other words, to determine what the town is claiming as the property value you need to look at both the assessment and the equalization ratio. This number would then be the value to use in determining whether you should consider filing a tax appeal. For example, if your property is assessed by the town at $350,000 and your property has a market value of $360,000, you may think that you are being under-assessed and thus think it is not worthwhile to file a tax appeal. However, if the equalization ratio for your town is 84%, then your property value, as determined by the town, would be approximately $407,000. This means that the town is assessing your property for $47,000 more than its market value and a tax appeal may be an option. Because the laws and procedures regarding tax appeals are complicated, it is a good idea to retain the services of an attorney to assist you in filing and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

Monmouth Medical Center Retail Pharmacy Offers Safe Rx Prescription Bottles LONG BRANCH – To further our commitment to addressing the crisis of substance abuse, Monmouth Medical Center, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, is partnering with Safe Rx® to offer locking prescription bottles to consumers for opioid and other habit-forming medications at its retail pharmacy. The locking vials are available at no additional cost to the customer upon request for qualifying prescriptions. Safe Rx Locking Prescription Vials (LPVsTM) are prescription bottles with bike-lock like caps that are both certified child-resistant and certified senior-friendly. The Safe Rx bottles are locked utilizing a four-digit PIN code. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), approximately 21.5 million Americans, ages 12 and older, are classified with a substance use disorder annually. It is reported that eighty percent of heroin users start with a prescription opioid and 90 percent of abusers start in their teen years, with the majority taking drugs from a family medicine cabinet. The Safe Rx bottles help prevent medications from being accidentally ingested and/or taken by someone other than the prescribed user. “The ongoing opioid crisis is one that must be proactively addressed from multiple angles and RWJBarnabas Health continues to shine a light on the growing public health issue of opioid addiction, in terms of education, aware-
ness, prevention and recovery,” said Robert T. Adamson, PharmD, FASHP, Chief Pharmacy Officer, RWJBarnabas Health. “Our partnership with Safe Rx allows us to educate patients and community members on the dangers of certain medications while also preventing dangerous and highly-addictive prescription pills from falling into the wrong hands.” The Safe Rx program is part of the RWJBarnabas Health system’s larger opioid prevention and recovery initiative set forth by the Tackling Addiction Task Force. The Task Force takes a proactive, multi-disciplinary approach to combating substance use disorder. With a focus on education, prevention, treatment and recovery, the RWJBarnabas Health Tackling Addiction Task Force is actively working to change the perception of substance use disorder and the way we prevent, diagnose and treat the disease throughout our hospitals, health facilities and communities. For further information, please stop in at the Retail Pharmacy at Monmouth Medical Center and ask a pharmacy representative. This program has been rolled out to several other retail pharmacies in the RWJBarnabas Health system including those at: Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville, Jersey City Medical Center, Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, the Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center in Livingston, and Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love and affection may head in the wrong direction if you feel coerced or manipulated. By mid-week you will find it easier to achieve a sensible agreement with others. Use a hands-on approach at the workplace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You and a loved one may be briefly at odds in the first part of the week. You may find it easier to shine at the workplace or when you are using your hardheaded business sense to improve your financial standing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Contain your enthusiasms. During the week to come you should practice caution and discrimination. If you want to be perceived as a creative person you must refine your work and know which errors need correction. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today’s Full Moon might compel you to be more reflective. You have been able to cope with problems at home or at work, but as one cycle finishes you may see there are still more hurdles to leap in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Wait a few days before buying something important. Right now, you may be more concerned with what people think about your purchases than whether the purchase is worthwhile and advantageous for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Full Moon falls in your opposite sign and may bring your opposite number into focus. Relationships can be a primary motivator as the week unfolds. Wait until the middle of the week to make decisions about finances. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As the week be-
gins, your desires may be blocked. This will force you to be more practical and pragmatic. Use your business sense to make a good impression on the job and to make your home run more smoothly. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Prepare to perform your happy dance in the week ahead. More investigation is needed, however, before you make key decisions. You are like a dog that has buried a bone and catches the scent just as his master calls. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): After today’s Full Moon you might see the glass as half empty. It would be wise to be a bit of a philosopher about financial assets this week. Remind yourself that it is not possible to spend money you don’t have. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Place emphasis on precision and accuracy in the upcoming week. Steer clear of major purchases today. You might be willing to accept less than you deserve because you believe something is better than nothing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A levelheaded approach will work best in the week ahead. You possess the vision and imagination to understand the long-term consequences of your actions. Handle your finances with shrewdness and skill. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): While the Full Moon brightens your sector of the zodiac you may find it easier to understand your partner and loved ones. As the week progresses you will become more aware of the importance of loyalty and trust.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Too Many Farmers’ Market Veggies? Make Fried Rice! By Wolfgang Puck FRIED RICE WITH FARMERS’ MARKET VEGETABLES Serves 3 to 4 1 cup (250 mL) uncooked long-grain white rice 3/4 cup (185 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth, or vegetable stock or broth 3/4 cup (185 mL) water 1 red or yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) squares 1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) squares 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced Napa cabbage 1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced white mushrooms 1/2 cup (125 mL) small snow peas, stemmed and stringed 1 to 2 tablespoons peanut oil 1 or 2 garlic cloves, minced, optional 1 large egg, beaten 2 tablespoons mushroom soy sauce 2 tablespoons regular soy sauce 2 scallions, thinly sliced at a 45-degree angle Cook the rice at least several hours before serving or the night before. Put it in a saucepan, and add the stock and water. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until all the liquid has been absorbed
and the rice looks completely dry, 15 to 18 minutes. Empty the rice onto a baking sheet or large platter, and leave it to cool and air-dry for several hours or overnight. Before cooking, use clean, dry hands to separate the rice grains and f luff up the rice. In a mixing bowl, toss together the bell peppers, onion, Napa cabbage, mushrooms and snow peas. Heat a wok or a large, wide skillet with sloping sides over high heat until very hot. Add enough of the oil to coat the wok evenly, drizzling it in all around the upper edges of the pan to f low toward the center. Add the mixture of vegetables and, if using, the garlic. With a long-handled wooden spatula, briskly stir-fry the vegetables continuously until their colors brighten and they look glossy, about 30 seconds. Add the f luffed rice and continue to stir-fry continuously for another 30 seconds or so, tossing together the vegetables and rice. Drizzle in the beaten egg around the edges of the wok, and quickly stir the egg into the rice and vegetables. Drizzle the mushroom soy sauce and regular soy sauce over the rice-and-vegetable mixture, and stir it in briskly. Transfer the rice to a heated serving bowl or platter. Garnish with scallions, and serve immediately.
