County Celebrates 20 Years of Master Gardeners
By Kimberly Bosco FREEHOLD – It was a proud moment for the Monmouth County Master Gardener Program, watching its most recent class graduate. This class of 30 graduates marked the program’s 20th year of horticultural and gardening education. On the achievement, Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry stated: “We are proud to celebrate 20 years of amazing work by the Monmouth County Master Gardeners. The growth of this active volunteer program has been incredible to
watch. The work of the Master Gardeners has not only beautified our community but offers our residents an enriching horticultural experience.” Master Gardeners began in 1999, upon requests from community gardeners for more horticultural information. It was a partnership between Monmouth County, the Monmouth County Parks System, Brookdale Community College and Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Monmouth County that bore this two-decade old program. Volunteers in the program are trained to di-
agnose plant problems, suggest good cultural practices for gardens and advise gardeners to the best care for home landscape. At the helm of the Master Gardeners ship for the past 20 years was Diane Larson, Horticulturist and Rutgers Master Gardener Coordinator. Larson oversaw the transformation of over 564 volunteers into Master Gardeners. “The Monmouth County Master Gardener program would not be what it is today without (Gardeners - See Page 4)

The online format allows for f lexibility in route selection, allowing visitors to explore a variety of points of interest along each route. The Cultural & Heritage Virtual Tours program was designed to increase public awareness about the many natural, cultural, historic, scenic, architectural, institutional, and commemorative sites located in Monmouth County. Each tour has a unique theme which showcases numerous attractions throughout Monmouth County in categories including:
scenic, historic, architectural, art, cultural, science and technology, military, civic spaces, neighborhoods, crossroad/ downtowns/commercial districts, pop, culture, myth/folklore/legends, unique or unusual and more. Some sites are privately held and not open to the public. The complete series results in a network of tours featuring all 53 towns in Monmouth County. Freeholder Deputy Director and Liaison to the Division of Planning said, “We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Monmouth County Cultural & Heritage Virtual Tours.

Gardeners:
Continued From Page 1 the leadership of Diane Larson,” said Burry. “I was proud to present her with a proclamation to honor her hard work and dedication to cultivating the Master Gardener program into a premier volunteer program in Monmouth County.” In addition to the Garden Helpline, where Master Gardeners respond to horticultural inquiries from the local community, the program also established the Plant a Row for the Hungry (PAR) garden. Started in in 2006 by the Master Gardeners and Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Monmouth County, the garden was inspired by the Association for Garden Communicators initiative. The PAR garden encourages gardeners to dedicate a row of their garden to produce for local food banks and food pantries. Since its inception, the PAR garden has produced more than 30,000 pounds of food for local food pantries throughout the county. Through 18 community gardens, and nearly 19,000 pounds of food harvested, the Monmouth County Master Gardeners have made a significant impact over the years. It is not hard to be a part of this county legacy. If you wish to become a Master Gardener, you must live in Monmouth County, complete at least 60 hours of training classes, and fulfill 60 volunteer hours. The 2019 program application is due by Jan. 2, 2019. For more information, call 732-431-7260.

HOWELL – The members of the Howell Township Senior Center donated new teddy bears that they or a friend dressed to be donated to various organizations for sick or underprivileged children. Some were given to National PAL President, Chris Hill to be given out during the holidays to the Pediatric Units at Jersey Shore University Medical Center while others were given to the NJ State Police for their “Feel Better Bears” Project. The bus drivers for the Senior Center also delivered bears, art supplies, and books to the Children’s Specialized Hospital in Toms River, 180 Turning Lives Around and

Program Coordinator Carol Hartigan organized the event after the Salvation Army stopped receiving grants for a similar program we were involved in for years. Members enjoyed getting the bears from the Salvation Army and dressing them because they knew the Salvation Army would then take the dressed bears back and give them to children during the holidays. They bought and dressed over 100 bears with many members bringing in several bears at once. Those who bought or dressed a bear will be invited to a “Teddy Bear Tea Party” in February at the Senior Center.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Luxurious Body Creams That Won’t Cause Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’m going to make you fall in love with body butters today! They are completely natural and insanely easy to make. You can add essential oils to make it smell lovely and then apply as liberally as you like without fear that your moisturizer will irritate your skin, provoke cancer, or disrupt your estrogen and thyroid hormone (termed endocrine disruption). This is a great gift for yourself or to your friends for occasions. Let’s face it, keeping your skin glowing and supple is no easy task, which is why most people turn to lotions to hydrate the skin. It’s instantly soothing. It’s not just women who seek soft supple skin either, many men use shaving creams that dry their faces, or they have dry elbows and heels. Don’t let the beautiful bottles trick you, there are thousands of toxins in the beauty industry and many popular lotions and creams have questionable if not serious harmful effects on your body. Sadly, price does not dictate purity, these are found in both cheap and expensive products! For example, paraffin is a petroleum-derived compound that essentially coats your skin with a thin plastic covering. Parabens are used as preservatives but might impact your cell’s ability to divide properly and disrupt normal hormone production. Many popular expensive skin creams contain antifreeze (propylene glycol) and still others contain silicone, another compound I feel is best avoided. The worst in my opinion are the perfumes because those could expose you
to a thousand different weird chemicals that are hard to unglue from your cells! My point is there are hundreds of scientific papers suggesting a correlation between cancer incidence and potent chemicals found in cosmetics, perfumes and skin care products. Body butters can be made naturally using cold-pressed extracts of either beans, seeds, or nuts. These nourishing formulas will remain solid at room temperature, but once applied, they melt into your skin. The best body butters contain healing oils that are whipped into cream. I’m thinking of cocoa, cupuacu, almond oil, coconut oil, pumpkin seed oil and jojoba oil. Creating homemade body butter out of these oils is actually a straightforward simple process that you can do with a friend or daughter. Obviously, you can buy nice body butters today online, and at retail boutiques. To fully enjoy them, just dab on your fingers and rub it where you most need moisture, for example your knuckles, hands, knees or heels. You can put it all over if you want! Body butter is intended to be concentrated so a little goes a long way. Once you experiment with making homemade body butter, you’ll never want to go back to conventional lotions. Making body butters at home is a fun way to bond with the kids and ensure purity in your skin care regimen. Sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email you the recipes so you can make your own Whipped Pumpkin Spice Body Butter and also Jasmine Lemongrass Body Butter.

Register Your Surveillance Camera With Manasquan Police
MANASQUAN – The Manasquan Police Department is initiating a new program. This program encourages residents and businesses to register their privately owned home or business video surveillance system, including the popular doorbell camera systems. We recognize that crimes can be committed at any place or time and that video surveillance systems may capture footage that could help solve crimes in our community. During a criminal investigation our officers are often unaware of the many residences and businesses that have surveillance systems who might have this footage. Please note that this program does not give police the ability to tap into any home or business surveillance feeds. Your participation in this program is 100 percent voluntary and your personal information will be kept confidential and not for public dissemination. Only law enforcement personnel will view the surveillance footage. Any resident or business can register their camera by going to manasquan-nj.gov to fill out a short form. To access this form from the main page of the town’s website click on the government tab and then on the police department tab. The video camera registration will be on the left hand side. Any questions please reach out to Chief Michael Bauer at 732-223-1000 ext. 223.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
She’s Got Happy Feet And He’s Got Cold Feet Dear Joel, My husband is a charming man. He’s faithful and loves people, but when we go to parties and he hears music, he’s turns into a dancing machine. The problem is I’m not. He dances with everyone… young or old, family or friends even kids. Am I wrong to feel a little jealous when he’s dancing with other women? I’ll admit I have two left feet, but how should I deal with my resentment? Answer I’ll bet there are some women who are a little jealous of you. Most men hate dancing which may just be why your husband is so popular. I know it’s hard to sit on the sidelines, but what is really disturbing you? Are you afraid he’s flirt-
ing or that he is having a better time than you? Try enjoying his performances. You have a very rare thing, a husband who likes dancing. Some people bring their prize winning recipes to parties; you instead bring a dancing partner for all with you, which makes you very popular too. Look at your husband like he’s a bestselling book at the library; everyone shares and enjoys it and in the end, it winds back up at home. 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
If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fees
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset
which does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Announces 2019 Season
OCEAN – The Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Theater, Monmouth County’s newest professional ballet company, announces an exciting line up of ballets for the 2019 season including “Jungle Book,” “Alice in Wonderland,” and “The Nutcracker Rocks.” A new subscription plan allows dance lovers to enjoy all three ballets with a season discount. “We’re thrilled to announce our first full season of exciting and uniquely fun ballets,” commented Elise Feldman, president of the Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Theater. “Our inaugural performance in of A Midsummer Night’s Dream created a tremendous buzz in the local arts community, and the accolades we received show that there is a strong desire for this caliber of ballet from dance lovers throughout Monmouth County!” “The Jungle Book,” running February 2 through 10 is a new, contemporary ballet based on Rudyard
Kipling’s collection of stories about a boy adopted and raised by wolves, who fulfills his quest for identity, love and belonging. The Jungle Book will feature ballet and contemporary choreography by Gabriel Chajnik and an exciting collaboration with classical Indian dance choreographer and teacher Sudha Shekhar Devulapalli. The production features a fusion of Bharatanatyam and ballet performed by a cast of professional dancers and talented young trainees, as well as dazzling visuals and costumes by acclaimed designer José Solis and striking masks and headpieces designed by Tentacle Studios, whose clients include Lady Gaga, Kesha, and the Royal Ballet. “Alice in Wonderland,” running August 25-29, is a contemporary ballet based on the Lewis Carroll favorite. Alice sits by a riverbank on a warm summer day, drowsily reading over her sister’s
shoulder when she catches sight of a white rabbit in a waistcoat. This jumpstarts a fun, whimsical adventure in which Alice, Carroll’s celebrated little girl creation, meets a cast of extraordinary characters, from the fierce Queen of Hearts and a bubbly Mad Hatter, to the funny Cheshire Cat and the mysterious Caterpillar. With an imaginative, eye-popping digital-projection landscape that will transport audiences into Wonderland, this magical story will be told through the imaginative choreography of Gabriel Chajnik and a live orchestra conducted by Jason Tramm. Finally, in time for the holidays, it’s “The Nutcracker Rocks,” a contemporary new look at an old classic! Perfect for the entire family, “The Nutcracker ROCKS” is a mixture of high-power music and dance that will transport you to a land
of brave toy soldiers and sweet sugar plum fairies. Based on Hoffman’s original story, choreographer Gabriel Chajnik translates the Victorian-era Nutcracker from the bustles and ruffles of the 1890s to contemporary times. Clara’s rocker Uncle Drosselmeier shakes things up when he shows up to a distinguished Manhattan holiday party with his electric guitar and his amazing toys, igniting the imagination of people young and old. The beloved Tchaikovsky score is reimagined in collaboration with renowned rocker Alex Levine, a member of The Gaslight Anthem. The Nutcracker ROCKS is destined to be a Jersey Shore staple for many holidays to come. To subscribe to the series or order individual tickets, visit axelrodartscenter.com or call the box office at 732-531-9106 ext. 14. Group, senior and student discounts are available.
“Cloudy, with a Chance of Pain” - Weather and Joint Pain
H
By: Ashley Hansen PT, DPT
ave you ever noticed an increase pain or soreness when it’s raining? The old wives’ tale says that the change in weather can cause joint pain. Well it turns out, they’re right! Based on recent evidence the change in barometric pressure, especially a decrease in pressure, does affect joint receptors in the joints, thus increasing pain. WHAT IS BAROMETRIC PRESSURE? This is the pressure of the atmosphere pressing down on earth’s surface. Barometric pressure is based on air density, which is determined by temperature, and the height above earth’s surface. It is measured in milli-bars (mb), where 1 mlbar is equal to 1 atmosphere of pressure (1.01325 bars), therefore pressure decreases as altitude increase. Standard pressure at sea-level is 1013.2 mb, or 30 mmHg. Barometric pressure can range from about 2831 mmHg. Humidity can also increase atmospheric pressure, and is the amount of moisture in the air. When there is more pressure pressing down on the earth (including you and your joints), it results in less activity in the atmosphere, subsequently resulting in “fair weather”, which is typically greater than 30 mmHg. When air rises, moisture in the air cools down the higher it gets, increasing condensation and cloud formation. When the atmosphere gets too full of moisture, precipitation forms, and the result is either rain or snow, depending on the temperature. If the pressure drops below 30 mmHg, it’s considered to be “low”.
JOINT ANATOMY Baroreceptors are nerve endings that are found in joints and other tissues throughout the body that detects change in pressure. The joint cavity, articular cartilage, and surrounding bone in the joint are richly innervated (contains nerves) by these pressure receptors. With osteoarthritis (OA), the articular cartilage that surrounds the joints breaks down, thus changing the amount of space, and pressure within the joint. It is also common to have swelling and effusion (excess fluid in the joint) with OA. One study performed in 2011 suggested the fluid that is found naturally in the joints can change with the shift in temperature. When the temperature is cold, the fluid can become thicker, which can increase pressure in the joint, thus triggering baroreceptors. Studies have shown increased weather sensitivity in people who have experienced physical trauma, from a surgery, joint replacements, and fractures. Current research has shown how change in atmospheric pressure affects joint pain. One study looked at the effects of weather affecting joint pain and mood. It showed an association between areas with low pressure and increased pain, and decreased mood. The results were inconclusive whether the decreased mood was the result of poor weather or increased pain. Another study conducted in 2018, showed that women were more sensitive to changes in humidity, whereas men were more sensitive to changes in temperature. This could be due to changes in temperature which causes a reaction in the body to prevent heat loss. Temperature also acts as an instant stressor on the different body systems. In comparison, humidity affects perceived temperature rather than temperature itself and thus is more related with a person’s comfort. However, since there is more moisture in the air, it can create more pressure on the body.
HOW TO MANAGE PAIN One way to help manage arthritis symptoms can be to change the environment around you. One article suggests adjust the temperature in the house. One study recommended using a dehumidifier in order to reduce the humidity in the house to decrease the joint pain. In cases of post-operative surgeries or replacements, ice is helpful to decrease edema (excess fluid) and pressure around the joint. With the help of Physical Therapy, proper exercise and education can help manage joint pain as well. Come to All-Care Physical Therapy Center to get started on your way to decrease and manage your pain so you can enjoy those sunny days!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of dec 22 - dec 28 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may receive your five minutes of fame or favoritism in the upcoming week. If you prove you are knowledgeable you could receive more attention than usual. Use wisdom when spending your hard-earned cash. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are never too tired to be inspired. For the next few days your amorous fantasies seem to be your only reality. By the end of the week, however, you will need to buckle down and pay attention to the material world. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What you really want is right beneath your nose. Events or comments from a partner may lead you to believe there is something greener on the other side of the fence. Be content with your position in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Find something new to show off or enjoy. You may be excited to learn about new technology that can make your life easier and simpler. During the week ahead steer clear of intrigues and people who may have hidden agendas. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. New traditions must start someplace, and you can lead the way. You prefer to do things in a “different” way but understand your partner’s need for traditions, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The tried and true will never make you blue. Relationships that aren’t built on a solid foundation of trust and loyalty may fall apart in the week ahead. You may be attracted
to someone who isn’t quite right for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Wear it and share it. If you are heading off to preholiday celebrations this week you should be prepared to flaunt your most dazzling finery. This is a good week for travel, parties, or to experiment with something unusual. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are eager to try something new at the drop of the hat. Relationships are stimulating, and you may be tempted to buy impulse items just for fun. By the end of the week, however, you must be more serious. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a run at some fun. In the week ahead, you may be filled with the traditional holiday spirit but are also willing to try something unconventional. You can sparkle when you are the stage or in charge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): An inspiring and imaginative viewpoint could wake up and invigorate people you know who are suffering from lethargy. This is a good week to pursue your farfetched fantasies and show off your know-how. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): During the week ahead, you may see a different side of your favorite partner. Go along for the ride and you may have an exhilarating experience. This is an excellent week to experiment with new ideas and techniques. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could feel more attractive than usual in the week ahead and assume that admiration is your right. Loved ones may be upset if you forget to treat them as though they were the most valuable players on your team.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cookie Classic: Holiday Baking Made Easy By Wolfgang Puck MACADAMIA BUTTER COOKIES Makes about 6 dozen 1 pound (500 g) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 3 1/2 cups (875 mL) all-purpose flour 2 large egg yolks 1/3 cup (80 mL) mild-flavored honey 1 cup (250 mL) coarsely chopped macadamia nuts In the large bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle or beater attachments, or in a large mixing bowl using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the butter at low speed until it begins to soften. Add the sugar and, as soon as it is incorporated into the butter, raise the speed to high and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Sift the flour into a separate bowl, and set aside. While beating the butter-sugar mixture at medium speed, add the egg yolks and beat just until incorporated. Reduce the speed to low, add the honey and beat briefly; then add the flour, and beat until incorporated. Add the nuts, and beat just until they’re mixed in. With a dough scraper or sturdy rubber spatula,
scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a clean work surface. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Divide the dough in half and, on a lightly floured work surface, use clean hands to roll the dough into an even log shape about 12 inches (30 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Wrap each log in waxed paper and keep refrigerated until ready to slice and bake the cookies. Before baking the cookies, position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line one or two baking trays with parchment paper and set aside. Remove one log from the refrigerator. Unwrap it and, with a sharp knife, slice the dough crosswise into slices about 1/3 inch (8 mm) wide, arranging the slices about 2 inches apart on the lined baking tray. Repeat with the remaining log, or keep it in the refrigerator for another use. Bake the cookies until golden brown, about 10 minutes, rotating them back to front after 5 minutes. With a wide metal spatula, transfer the hot cookies from the baking tray to a wire rack to cool. Once the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at a cool room temperature.
