By Chris Lundy Several local schools won grants to teach children about sustainability, to change habits in order to prevent natural resources from being depleted. The New Jersey Education Association awarded 11 $10,000 grants and 36 $2,000 grants throughout the state. “Our job as educators is to prepare the next generation with the skills, information, and resources to become engaged citizens and leaders in our efforts to save and protect our planet,” NJEA Vice President Sean M. Spiller said in a press release. “NJEA is honored to continue to work with Sustainable Jersey on this important program that directs resources into our schools.” Locally, the winners were as follows: Brick Township schools will use their $10,000 grant for the “Grow Brick Grow” program in elementary and middle schools. “These funds allow our elementary and middle school students to engage in hydro- and aquaponic farming methods (Grants - See Page 2)
By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Despite being delayed by snowy weather, the Howell Alliance managed to see their recent project through, erecting the first prevention banner in Howell Township this week. The Howell Alliance’s Prevention Banner Initiative has been in the works since September 2018 and is finally coming to life, according to Howell Alliance Coordinator Christa Riddle. “Because billboard advertisements are so costly, we thought it would be a cost effective alternative to display our messages on township and school property,” said Riddle. The initiative aims to spread messages of prevention on various banners posted at locations throughout the township to contribute to the fight against the growing opioid epidemic, in Howell and beyond. “Our country, state, and county are being devastated by an opioid abuse epidemic, and it is imperative that all Howell community (Anti-Drug - See Page 2)
Council Honors Jake Honig’s Memory
By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – On Jan. 21, the Howell community recognized the one year anniversary of Jake “The Tank” Honig’s passing. On Feb. 5, the Howell Township Council honored Jake’s memory with a proclamation presented to his parents, Mike and Janet Honig. Jake was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer at the young age of 2 years old. He fought long and hard for five years before passing at the age of 7. Jake’s parents worked hard both before and after his passing to advocate for the use of medical marijuana, a treatment that helped ease Jake’s symptoms. “Because of him, medical marijuana is now accessible to people that need it,” said Mayor Theresa Berger. “Jake’s positive attitude, strength, and fighting spirit during his treatment earned him the (Honig - See Page 4)

Anti-Drug:
Continued From Page 1 stakeholders - including parents - join forces to drive these numbers down as quickly as we can, before another life is lost unnecessarily,” said Riddle. According to Riddle, 2018 saw 61 overdoses in just Howell Township. As of February 8, the new year has already seen seven overdoses. With the banners, the Alliance aims to spread the message of prevention as far and wide as they can. “We want to provide direct, stark reminders that people’s choices can have positive or negative consequences, and that destructive consequences can be permanent and far-reaching when they involve substance abuse and irresponsible driving,” Riddle told The Howell Times. “We want our community to know what the Howell Alliance is doing to promote substance abuse prevention in Howell and to get involved in our efforts in any way they can.” Funded by the Alliance, the first completed prevention banner will hang at the Howell Township Municipal Building and Howell High School. Members of the DPW Road Department crew helped to place the aluminum frame on Feb. 5 at the municipal building. The banner and frame design was sketched and constructed by DPW director Paul Novello, and DPW employees Gary Eitel and Dan Haines. The high school banner will be placed at the end of February. One side will display to traffic, the other will face the senior parking lot; this dual-frame was designed by Tim Carpenter, a technology teacher at HHS.
This first banner focuses on drugged driving, a topic chosen to correlate with a timely issue. “We chose this topic due to the potential for marijuana legalization,” Riddle explained. The Alliance will produce a different prevention banner every quarter, each focusing in on a timely topic. Residents can expect to see banners on prom safety, vaping, buzzed driving or texting while driving in the near future. The initiative was put together by Riddle, Howell Alliance coordinator; Camille Mussari, Howell High School student assistance coordinator (SAC); and Deena Cohen, Alliance member and project director of perinatal opioid education at Central Jersey Family Health Consortium. Riddle thanked township manager Brian Geoghegan, Deputy Mayor Evelyn Malsbury-O’Donnell, and HHS principal Jeremy Braverman for their support. “The implementation of our banner project from concept to creation took a team, and the Howell Alliance wants to thank everyone who helped us convey our prevention message. Community-wide dedication and collaboration are critical to our Alliance delivering the effective substance abuse prevention initiatives that can save lives,” Riddle said. “Without cross-department and community support, our efforts would fall flat. Our banners will remind people that each of us has the power to save lives and preserve the safety of the Howell community through our every-day choices and actions.” Residents can look for a new banner come prom time, although a date has not yet been set.

We look forward to promoting healthy and sustainable food choices as we cultivate our school gardens into positive community partnerships,” said Superintendent Gerard Dalton. Lake Riviera Middle School in Brick will use a $2,000 grant for healthy and sustainable meals. “This grant will provide our students with an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of sustainability in a living classroom through an aquaponic gardening system. This project-based experience will allow our students to explore the connections between chemistry and life science and use innovation to improve the planet,” said Principal Alyce Anderson. Switlik Elementary School in Jackson won a $10,000 grant to install water bottle stations to decrease the number of plastic bottles used. Green team members will sell reusable water bottles, with the money going to a donation to the Jackson food pantry. “Our Switlik Panthers will be enlightened to the importance of preventative recycling, through the installation of water bottle refilling stations, and the practice of restorative recycling through the use of re-purposing and reusing recyclable waste and materials to grow nutritional food. The Switlik School has great passion for
educating ourselves and our community on sustainability efforts. We believe our sustainability efforts will have a lasting impact on our school and community that we are proud to call home,” said Principal Kathleen McKiernan. An outdoor classroom will be constructed with a $10,000 grant at Toms River High School North. According to a press release from the district, the outdoor classroom, dubbed Setting the Stage for Outdoor Learning (S.S.O.L.) will have several unique features. A student-built boardwalk will join the school to an enclosed courtyard. This will be made up of a concrete bottom, with weather-resistant benches and storage. Seats will face a stage near the theater department’s shed. The courtyard itself will be filled with native plant species, based on consulting work with partners like the Barnegat Bay Partnership and the Jane Goodall Institute. Ramtown Elementary in Howell will use a $2,000 grant in a plastics reduction campaign. “As an active participant in the Powersave program sponsored through New Jersey Natural Gas, our school is proud to have been selected a recipient of the Sustainable Jersey for Schools Grant,” Principal Albert J. Bohrer said. “The money will be utilized to further advance our school’s efforts to promote sustainable and conscientious choices to benefit our environment.” Grants - See Page 4)

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials From The Desk Of The
Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone Happy February! I hope everyone has been staying safe and warm this past week with the extremely cold weather. I’m excited that our friend Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow signaling that an early spring will be upon us. Many exciting things have taken place the last couple weeks. On January 28, I participated in a Town Hall-style meeting in Tinton Falls with Senator Vin Gopal as well as county and state employees to address the com mu n it y’s concer n s about the recent increase
in odor coming from the reclamation center. The several hundred people who showed up at the meeting, and many who didn’t, are justifiably concerned about the environmental impact of the dump on the health of our residents as well as property values. I thank Senator Gopal for his partnership on this issue, especially with regard to bringing the State Department of Environmental Protection onboard. I want the Tinton Falls and surrounding community’s residents to rest assured that your health and safety is the
Capitol Comments Senator Robert W. Singer 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell
TRENTON - Legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer (R-30th) to allow nursing aides who were certified out-of-state to use their license to care for
people in New Jersey was signed into law by Governor Phil Murphy. “Prior to my bill being sig ned i nto law, many highly-qualified and ex-
Capitol Comments Assemblyman Edward H. Thomson 30th Legislative District, Serving Wall
TRENTON - Assemblyman Edward H. Thomson (R-30th) said legislation raising the minimum wage to $15 will lead to an increase in property taxes. Governor Murphy signed into law a $15 minimum wage. Under the approved plan, the minimum wage will increase to $10 on July
1, 2019 followed by annual $1 increases until a fifteen-dollar minimum wage is fully implemented by 2024. Although this legislation includes a slightly slower phase-in for seasonal employees and workers in training programs, Thomson said it fails to address

county’s paramount concern. In the coming weeks and months, myself and the other freeholders will have some very positive announcements to make about the future of the reclamation center. In the meantime, we are grateful that the work we are doing is working to reduce the odor at the dump. I had the opportunity, with Sheriff Shaun Golden, to join former Governor James McGreevey at a press conference for NJBUILD to promote their Pre-Apprenticeship program that is now available to Monmouth County residents. This beneficial program provides free training programs across multiple counties. Our main focus is to
keep Monmouth County residents working and I am proud to support a program that will help ensure that. I was also able to attend the Ribbon Cutting for the Monmouth County Health Department’s new building. I am so glad that this historic building was renovated and is continuing to be used by the county. As I always say, infrastructure will be here long after we are all gone and it is so important that we preserve them. Another exciting event I was able to attend was t he Mon mout h Cou nt y Fire Academy Firefighter 1 Class 122 Graduation. I am so proud of these young men and women for their
dedication and service to our County! In addition, I co-hosted an Elected Officials Workshop with Monmouth County Clerk Christine Hanlon. It was such a great event that gave elected officials, whether newly elected or experienced, the opportunity to learn a lot of important information about all aspects of county government. We had speakers from many different departments throughout the County give presentations and the turnout was fantastic! On another note, this month our Tourism Department attended the New York City Boat Show. They will be attending several trade and travel shows with our
tourism partners this winter to promote all Monmouth County has to offer our visitors. I am proud to serve as liaison to this department which is a 2.5 billion industry in Monmouth County. Lastly, I want to mention that we are just a little more than two months away from Made in Monmouth at Monmouth University. As liaison to the department of Economic Development I would like to encourage all residents and visitors to take advantage of this free event that features hundreds of consumer products made right here in Monmouth County. As always, it’s a privilege to serve as your Freeholder Director.
Law Allows Out-Of-State Nursing Aide Licenses To Work Here
perienced nursing aides couldn’t work in New Jersey simply because they live out of state,” Singer said. “The number of job openings for certified nursing assistants is staggering. There are more than 1,800 vacant positions in nursing homes throughout New Jersey. “Allowing nursing assis-
tants who were certified in a different state to use their license, extensive work experience and qualified credentials to work in New Jersey will go a long way to ensuring our most vulnerable patients and seniors in need get proper and timely care.” Senator Singer’s S-2679
codifies out-of-state nursing aide reciprocity requirements into law. The law also allows the State Department of Health to require an individual’s certification to be accepted on the basis of their work experience. “I am pleased that our state is taking action to
combat the nursing home job shortage by welcoming more qualified medical professionals to New Jersey,” Singer added. “Increasing the supply of labor to meet a growing demand is a winwin for patients, families, and all of the over-stressed caregivers who desperately need help now.”
Increased Minimum Wage Might Impact Property Taxes the impact this large wage increase will have on county, municipal, and school districts as employers. “One large unintended consequence of this fifteen-dollar minimum wage bill is the impact it will have on New Jersey’s property taxpayers who fund the salaries of many government and school employees,” said Thomson. “Many of these employees currently make less than a fifteen-dollar minimum wage. In order to maintain the same level of staff and provide residents with nec-
essary services, their already high property taxes will have to increase to make up this difference.” Thomson said nearly half of states exempt some federal, state or local government employees from their minimum wage rules. Several of the state’s counties have gone on record stating this increase to minimum wage will cost them anywhere from $59,000 to $300,000, while one municipal official in Monmouth County said it will create a $750,000 hole in his town’s
budget. In a county like Monmouth where the tourism industry is such an important part of the economy, the costs could be on the higher end due to their workforce containing a large amount of seasonal employees. “It is hard to comprehend how in a state with some of the highest property taxes in the nation and people leaving in droves for more affordable locations, such a drastic wage increase would be imposed on businesses and local governments,” said Thomson. “We need to
stop implementing policies that make New Jersey increasingly unaffordable and instead provide some much needed relief for the state’s desperately overburdened taxpayers.” Thomson has previously voiced his opposition to this wage increase and the negative impact it could potentially have on employees. “Countless studies have shown minimum wage increases lead to job losses, specifically in the industries this increase is intended to help,” he said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F eatured L etter Murphy Should Listen To People Who Have Seen Addiction This letter was addressed to Governor Ph il Mu r p h y, a n d shared with this newspaper. I am the retired Chief of Police of the West Long Branch Police Department. In April of 2013, my son overdosed on heroin and was revived by the employment of Narcan and CPR. It was then I made a commitment to do whatever I could to diminish the stigma associated with addiction. Gover nor Ch r istie heard me speak at the press conference for the Narcan roll-out in Ocean County and appointed me to his Addiction Task Force. Working with Governor Christie and former Governor Jim McGreevey, I spoke at many gatherings throughout the State about addiction and stigma in particular. I remain very active in the addiction awareness community and cur rently ser ve on a steering committee for an addiction task force in Long Branch. Governor Christie and
I didn’t agree on many issues. We did however agree on how important it is to come together on the issue of addiction. You and I have a similar situation. I don’t agree with many of the initiatives that are the cornerstones of your administration, but I still feel it’s extremely important for people to put their differences aside when it comes to the life and death issue of addiction. I’m not asking to necessarily serve on whatever your administration is assembling to address addiction. However, I am imploring you to make use of someone with whom you could work to continue addressing the stigma of addiction. I attended a steering committee meeting with members of the public and there was a resounding expression of the absolute need to do exactly that. Larry Mihlon Chief of Police, retired West Long Branch Police Department

Project Allowing Natural Dune Growth The Pinelands Preservation Alliance (PPA) has long been the champion of the 1.1 million acre Pinelands National Reser ve stretching across New Jersey, protecting it and advocating for it since 1989. Thanks to a grant provided by National Fish and Wildlife, PPA has been able to extend our environmental stewardship from beyond the forest to the coasts. In an effort to improve beach habitat management and resiliency, PPA has par t nered with Rar itan Valley Community College (RVCC) to strengthen the dune system along our shores. Dunes play a vital role in alleviating storm damage and provide habitat to many animals and plants. Many New Jersey towns recognize the importance of dunes and use beach replenishments to construct them. However, fills and replenishments are costly, and studies show that artificial dunes typically contain a lower volume of sand and limit more visibility than dunes that form naturally.
Letters To The PPA and RVCC’s project When questioned on this the Less Editor Town promotes better back beach management to facilitate the growth of natural dunes by installing Plant Protection Strips. The best part about these strips is they only require the installation of posts and signs along the back ends of beaches, protecting that area from raking and motor vehicles, which prevent plants that collect sediment from establishing. When left alone these strips show a substantial increase in sand accumulation, leading to the development of incipient dunes and promoting continued growth of vegetation. The project has shown promising results on public lands like Island Beach State Park and our team is inviting coastal communities to join us and bring this work to their beaches at no cost. Several municipalities have already agreed to take part, and with our teamwork New Jersey will be one step closer to building stronger and more resilient shorelines. Pinelands Preservation Alliance Southampton Township
Meetings: Less Transparency Transparency is the hallmark of democracy, open government and accountability. Most New Jersey municipalities are committed to this concept. While the Open Public Meetings Act, otherwise known as the Sunshine law, does not establish a required number of meetings that a municipality must schedule it is clear that the intent of this law is to ensure that business is discussed and acted upon in a public transparent manor at a scheduled meeting. It appears that the Township of Little Egg Harbor has a different concept of transparency when they reduced the number of scheduled meetings for 2019. The Little Egg’s web site stated that “the Committee formally meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month.” In 2018 the township scheduled 19 meetings, five short of what was called for, and by doing so required four special meetings. The 2019 schedule calls for 16 meetings, three less than the prior year and eight less then what the web site originally called for.

mayor stated that the reason was financial, and the web site would be changed. It now reads “The Township Committee formally meets on the second and fourth Thursdays during the months of January thru April, and the second Thursday during the months of May thru December.” Eliminating public meetings does not enhance transparency. Simply put: no meetings means no transparency, less meetings means less transparency. This is not a new concept. Art Mooney Little Egg Harbor
It’s Our Choice To Eschew Violence “Change or you will perish!” The reality of that admonition arrived full force with the dropping of the first atom bomb. If we do not eliminate violence in the human condition, the human condition on this planet is headed for extinction. The good news is that we can eliminate violence in the human condition. The solution to eliminating violence is found in The Golden Rule (Treat every human being as you would want to be treated) and its motivation (The law of equal return in the context of many lifetimes in the human condition). People understand The Golden Rule, but the motivation for it is kept hidden by those who want to rule over their fellow human beings. The simple solution for overcoming this obstacle is for every household on the planet to boldly display the three words The Golden Rule somewhere on the front of their property or house. With growing numbers of people doing this the motivation to live The Golden Rule will be exposed to all and violence will come to be regarded as a form of insanity. Sincerely, Ray Kalainikas

Women’s Hearts to Immigration Poetry at the Library SHREWSBURY – A diverse month of activities at the Eastern Branch of the Monmouth County Library begins Feb. 28 when Dr. Vivian Kominos will speak on Women’s Hearts, explaining and proving that women are not just small men. The Eve of March program will be followed on Thursday, March 7, with photographer Joseph Meacham discussing his work, “Effigy: Ghosts of Asbury Park” and on March 14 with a poetry presentation highlighting immigration. “The variety of programs offered at Eastern Branch, and all of the Monmouth County libraries is indicative of how the library system offers something for everyone,” said Monmouth County Library Commission Chair Renee B. Swartz. “From health to local history to poetry readings that put a human face on the crisis at the nation’s border are programs offered in addition to games, gardening, employment counseling and so much more both on line and inside the walls of the library.” Dr. Kominos, a cardiologist and integrative medicine physician, will highlight the statistics of heart disease in women and how the disease is different between the sexes. The physician will also explain how to recognize symptoms and understand what every woman can do to prevent the disease and lead a healthier life. Her talk will begin at 6:30 p.m. No prior registration is needed. The physician is board certified in both Integrative Medicine and Cardiology and has practiced cardiology for 30 years. She is Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine and is a speaker and educator for her peers, medical students and residents,
nurses, allied health professionals and the community. Her practice is located in West Long Branch. Kominos will be joined by registered dietician and nutritionist Nikki Yelton, who will offer nutrition tips and information on healthy food choices, and Roxanne Smith, senior care counselor at Arbor Terrace, Shrewsbury, who will provide healthy snacks and recipe cards. Meacham will be at the library Thursday, March 7 at 11 a.m. to discuss his work on the history of Asbury Park, primarily from 1955 to 1980, showing images that ref lect the time the city became a ghost town in the mid-1970s. His photography of the changing scene of the resort city will be on display throughout the month. The photographer/public speaker also invites the audience to identify people depicted in his works and become part of the story. Meacham will be featured at an art reception Sunday, March 3, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the library. Poetry readings from two collections by Christopher Bogart will be featured at 7 p.m. on March 14, when Bogart will be joined by Jesse Bridges and Jose Palma reading poetry that gives testament to the suffering migrants have faced in their native lands, the trials they faced on their trip north, and the challenges they face in their new homeland. Bogart, a retired educator and founder of Jersey Shore Poets, organizes annual public poetry readings during National Poetry Month. His March 14 presentation will mark his fourth annual appearance at the Shrewsbury Library. For more information on these and all programs with the Monmouth county library system, visit monmouthcountylib.org.

MRHS Art and Design Across Borders Club Takes Part in Japan Art Mile Mural Exchange
–Photo courtesy FRHSD MARLBORO – In its first year of existence, the Art and Design Across Borders Club at Marlboro High School has already completed an impressive task. Their first project was part of the Japan Art Mile Mural Exchange, which had Marlboro’s students collaborating with students at the Kurashiki Kojoike High School in Okayama, Japan. Marlboro was the only high school in the United States participating in this international collaboration project. Advisor Barbara Casella began the Art and Design Across Borders Club at Marlboro this past September after having been the advisor of the club at Colts Neck
High School last year. The theme of the mural exchange was the environment. Students in Marlboro sent video introductions to their Japanese peers to get to know one another. Both schools decided on the design/layout of the mural. The Japanese students completed the left half of the canvas first, then sent the piece to Marlboro for completion. Marlboro’s design is seen on the right side. Now that the piece is f inished, the mural will be sent back to Japan where it will be displayed throughout the country. This project was a fun way for the students to learn about one another’s cultures and form friendships.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
7 Supplements That Should Be Taken With Food
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. There is much confusion about when to take herbal supplements, vitamins and medications. Do you take them on an empty stomach or with food? No matter what you take, you should be drinking a full glass of water to make sure the pill doesn’t linger in your esophagus and cause irritation. When a dietary supplement, enzyme or medication states the directive to “take with food” it usually means to take while you’re eating, or a few minutes beforehand. But since you have food in your gastrointestinal tract for a little while, it would be fine to take the item right after you eat. There’s no right or wrong. Take the Following Supplements With Food Ashwagandha - This popular adaptogen should be thought of a little bit like ‘food’ because it is an herb. All herbs should be taken with a snack or a meal in order to amplify the benefits and reduce nausea. Multivitamins or Pre-natal Vitamins - There are so many constituents in these supplements, that it’s best to take them with food in order to minimize stomach upset and nausea. CoQ10 - Some people take this powerful antioxidant for cellular energy production to support their heart, pancreas, liver and brain. CoQ10 (ubiquinone) should be taken with food, or a fatty meal to speed absorption. Selenium - This is taken for thyroid inflammation, bone health, prostate support and immune support. It’s ideally taken with food. Magnesium - Some people take magnesium for depression, regularity, reduction of leg cramps and blood pressure support. Like most minerals, taking magnesium with a
snack can minimize diarrhea and stomach discomfort. Vitamin D - You can take this without regard to meals, according to the newest research, however most of the older scientific literature say to take it with food since it’s fat-soluble. Fish Oil - Some people take fish oil to help with cholesterol, triglycerides, depression and blood joint health. Taking fish oil supplements (EPA, DHA or both) with food or fatty meals is ideal because it boosts the absorption. Take the Following Medications With Food Antacids - These help with heartburn or reflux. They should always be taken with food so that it can neutralize the acid that is secreted while you’re eating. Amoxicillin - The most popular antibiotic, especially for children. I recommend it be given to toddlers and teens with food in order to reduce indigestion, nausea and vomiting. Corticosteroids - These are used for pain, allergic reactions, rashes and overactive immune systems. These should always be taken with food or milk. Some examples include prednisone, hydrocortisone and dexamethasone. Aspirin -and Ibuprofen - Ideally these are taken with food. Metformin - Taken for diabetes, this medication is best taken around meal time in order to reduce blood sugar levels after eating. Enzyme supplements or medications - Some people can’t digest food normally, so they take enzyme supplements which break down the starch, fat and protein in a meal. Take these with meals. If a medication (ie Creon) is required to restore pancreatic function, it needs to be taken with meals.

Manalapan High School Wins County Consumer Bowl
HOWELL – Manalapan High School finished victorious in the 2019 Monmouth County Consumer Bowl, a game-show-style competition for teams of high school students held Feb. 6 at the Monmouth County Fire Academy. Students from eight high schools answered consumer-related questions in a multiple choice and open-ended format to test their knowledge of consumer issues, such as Internet fraud and buying and leasing automobiles. In the final round, Manalapan High School and Marlboro High School faced off. Though the scores were close, the Manalapan team was victorious and won the 2019 County Consumer Bowl.
Team members include Stephen Aron, Ryan Sikora, Kayla Lemma (team captain), Jessica Deans and Frank Daddato. Their teacher and advisor is Adam Falk. In all, students from Colts Neck High School, Freehold High School, Freehold Township High School, Howell High School, Manalapan High School, Marlboro High School, Raritan High School and Saint John Vianney High School participated in the competition. “Through the annual Consumer Bowl, the young adults who participated realized what it truly takes for them to be smart consumers and possibly future consumer advocates,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Division of Consumer Affairs. “This friendly,
county competition between high schools highlights the County’s Consumer Affairs office and the way they enforce consumer laws to help people who suspect they might be victims of unscrupulous business practices.” The Manalapan High School team now moves on to the regional competition on April 10 with home field advantage because the competition will be held at the Monmouth County Fire Academy. The winner of the regional competition will go on to compete in the 2019 New Jersey State Consumer Bowl scheduled for May in Trenton. The New Jersey High School Consumer Bowl is a program of the state Department of Law and Public Safety, Division of Consumer
Affairs. It was established in 1997 to help students learn about consumer issues that will benefit them throughout their lives. Consumer Affairs is a law enforcement agency, created and funded by the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders. It protects against consumer fraud and dishonest business practices by enforcing the state Consumer Fraud Act and many other regulations. Additional information about fraud and other consumer affairs programs can be found on the County website at VisitMonmouth.com, by calling 732-431-7900 or emailing ConsumerAffairs@co.monmouth.nj.us. The office is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Understanding Trigger Finger
H
By: Jessica Abraham, OT, CHT
as one of your fingers ever become stuck in a bent position, becoming painful and difficult to straighten after holding your cup of coffee? Or, does your finger click when you are holding a knife and fork. If so, then you may be experiencing trigger finger. Stenosing tenosynovitis, commonly known as trigger finger, is a condition where the lining of the flexor tendon becomes thick or swollen. The increased thickness and swelling compresses the tendon preventing it from gliding smoothly. This can cause the tendon to click or get stuck and lock. Prolonged irritation through repetitive use of the hand may cause scarring and the formation of nodules. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2% to 3% of the population will experience trigger finger in their lifetime, but increases to 10% in the diabetic population. Women are six times more likely than men to develop trigger finger and the average age of onset is 50 or older. Evidence suggests that the ring finger is the most commonly affected finger followed by the thumb, but all of the digits can be affected. Let’s review the basic anatomy of trigger finger. Each finger has tendons that run on the palm side of the finger that are responsible for flexing or bending the finger. These tendons are surrounded by a protective sheath and run through a system of pulleys that help to keep the tendon in place. In most cases, the most common location for trigger finger is at the base of the finger on the palm side of the hand at the large knuckle called the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP). This is the area of the A1 pulley and it is prone to irritation due to the high levels of force applied during gripping. You can think of the A1 pulley as the eye of a sewing
needle and the flexor tendon in its sheath as a piece of thread. When the tendon sheath becomes swollen and irritated it would be like trying to thread twine through the sewing needle; it would become stuck. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS - Stiffness in your finger - Tenderness and/or a nodule at the base of the finger - Locking of your finger in a bent position and then it will pop straight or need to be straightened using your other hand. - Popping or clicking when you move your finger CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS The exact cause of trigger finger is not known. There are several factors that could contribute to trigger finger including some of the following. - Repetitive use of the hand. - Prolonged use of hand held tools. - Local trauma to the hand/finger. - Degenerative forces and stress to the hand. Research has shown that individuals with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and DeQuervain’s tendonitis are at higher risk for developing trigger finger. TREATMENT OPTIONS There are several treatment options for trigger finger ranging from conservative techniques, including occupational or physical therapy, to surgical intervention. Some of the treatment options include: - Splinting the involved finger to help decrease friction at the A1 pulley and decrease inflammation. The finger splint is typically worn during times of activity during the day and can be used at night time as well. An occupational therapist would be able to fabricate a custom trigger finger splint. - Activity modification, including rest, to reduce
irritation to the involved finger while maintaining the ability to participate in your daily activities. - Corticosteroid injection. - Surgical release of the trigger finger. Surgery is typically indicated when conservative treatments are unsuccessful and has proven to alleviate trigger finger symptoms. Trigger Finger can have a significant impact on the use of your hand and your daily routine. Recognizing and addressing symptoms early is a key factor in treating trigger finger. At All Care Physical Therapy, our Hand Therapist specializes in the treatment of trigger finger and other hand disorders. Contact your physician if you are experiencing these symptoms and ask if an Occupational Therapist at All Care can help.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Family Vacation Dear Joel, 2019 is barely underway but our family of six is deep into talking about a favorite topic – the family vacation. The vote is in and we’re split down the middle. Half of the family is craving lazy days on the beach and the other half are snow bunnies looking forward to skiing, skating and snowball fights. What shall we do? Answer : My prescription -- take two vacations and call me in the morning. How you do it is really up to your clan. Some families are comfortable going their separate ways, but if you prefer togetherness, maybe this year your family could take two shorter vacations. Everyone will get to have the time of their lives, in the season
that suits them best and you’ll have two getaways to look forward too. There are some locations like Utah that offer both the mountains and lakefront destinations within a short drive of each other, but I think two vacations is a lot more fun. The most important thing is not to stress about it; the whole reason you’re taking a vacation is to relax and enjoy each other. 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

Inside The Law The Bulk Sales Act As It Applies To The Sale Of Real Estate
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Anyone selling real estate in New Jersey needs to be aware of the terms of the Bulk Sales Act. The purpose behind the Bulk Sales Act is to protect a purchaser from any taxes owed by the seller to the State of New Jersey. The failure to follow the Bulk Sales procedures could result in the State assessing any tax liability of the seller against the purchaser. For the purposes of the Bulk Sale Act, the only real estate that is exempt from the Bulk Sales filing requirement is a simple dwelling house, which is a one or two family residential building, or condominium, if the seller is an individual, estate or trust. Almost all other real estate transactions are required to file pursuant to the Bulk Sales Act. The filing procedure for the Bulk Sales Act is relatively straightforward. At least 10 business days prior to the closing of title, the purchaser or their attorney must file a form with the State referred to as a C-9600 Bulk Sales Notice. The form contains information about the transaction including the seller’s name and tax ID number as well as the purchaser’s name and tax ID number. The terms of the sale must be disclosed by way of a copy of the real estate contract attached to the form. Once the State receives that form, it will
then review its records Marc S. Galella Esq. to determine whether the seller owes any taxes to the State, including any taxes that may result from the specific sale. The State will then send what is referred to as a Bulk Sales escrow letter to the buyer’s attorney. The Bulk Sales escrow letter will direct how much money must be escrowed from the seller at closing pending a determination by the State as to the actual taxes owed. The next step is for the seller or their accountant to submit to the State a form known as a TTD (Transfer Tax Declaration) form in which the seller discloses the taxes that may be due to the State as a result of the transaction. In some cases the Bulk Sales notice and the TTD form can be submitted simultaneously so that the State can make a determination as to amount of taxes owed. Once the State determines the taxes owed, it will send a second letter directing the buyer’s attorney to release a specific amount of money from the escrow held at closing. Upon the State receives that money it will then send a third letter to the buyer’s attorney authorizing the release of the remaining escrow to the seller.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of FEB 16 - FEB 22 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fleeting emotions don’t matter in the greater scheme of things. Loved ones might seem capricious off and on during the week to come. Your ability to communicate, however, will highlight your essential harmony. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Playing hard to get isn’t the only way to win someone’s heart. Change tactics if tried and true methods simply quit working in the week ahead. Acting like a friend instead of a lover just might do the trick. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Logic and love make strange bedfellows. You may find it easy to be straightforward about facts and figures in the upcoming week but may find it more difficult to express your deepest emotions. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cupid’s arrows usually hit the target, but your archery skills may not be as skilled. You may aim for something that is unrealistic in the week ahead. Trusted advisors can give you the benefit of their objectivity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your friendliness will open doors for you in the week ahead, whether you are with a special companion or in a crowd. Simple mathematics proves that you can’t operate in the red and must be sure to get in the black. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your good intentions must be obvious. That will make the difference when someone must decide whether to take you seriously this week. You can entertain others with unusual tidbits of interesting information
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you pick a rose you must respect the thorns. In the week to come your heart might yearn for romance but you are frequently reminded that love is often accompanied by duty. Don’t read too much into a flirtation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may turn into a lean, mean money making machine as this week unfolds. However, any tendency toward meanness is softened by a spirit of sympathy and cooperation whether you are at work or at play. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Play fair on the playing field of life. Although making some money or winning is the true goal, it doesn’t hurt to be a good sport. As this week unfolds you may learn something important from friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you are busy dreaming of success you can’t be busy doing your job. If you can stick to a commitment you can achieve notice in the workplace. A partner or family member might distract you in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Embrace every opportunity to make new friends in the upcoming week. You can meet people who will enrich your life and wouldn’t dream of stepping on your toes. Money will grow if you don’t spend it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Cut throat business tactics aren’t for you. You will win in the week ahead by using gentle persuasion. Someone whose talents complement yours will help you find a way to have your cake and eat it, too.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Enjoy A Fresh Vegetable Salad In The Middle Of Winter By Wolfgang Puck GREEN BEAN AND MUSHROOM SALAD WITH TOASTED WALNUT DRESSING Serves 6 1 pound (500 g) small green beans 1 pound (500 g) large, white cultivated mushrooms Juice of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons walnuts shelled walnuts 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) light vegetable oil such as almond oil 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves or chives Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Remove both ends of each green bean, snapping them towards the seams and pulling to remove any strings. Fill a mixing bowl with ice cubes and water and place it near the sink. When the water is boiling, add the green beans. Cook until they are al dente, tender but still slightly crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain them in the sink and immediately plunge the green beans into the ice water until chilled.
Drain well on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. With a damp paper towel, wipe the mushrooms clean. Use a small, sharp knife to trim off their stem ends. Cut the mushrooms into slices the width of the green beans; then, stack the slices and cut into strips about the size of the green beans. Put the mushrooms in a mixing bowl and toss gently with the lemon juice until coated to prevent discoloration. Spread the walnuts in a small pan lined with foil or parchment paper. Toast them in the oven until they deepen slightly in color and smell aromatic, checking to make sure they don’t burn, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Put the walnuts in a blender or food processor with the mustard, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse until the walnuts are finely chopped; then, with the machine running, drizzle in the oil until a smooth, creamy dressing forms. Put the green beans and mushrooms in a mixing bowl. Add enough of the dressing to coat them evenly, tossing the vegetables thoroughly but gently; refrigerate any remaining dressing in a covered container for another use. To serve, arrange the green bean and mushroom mixture on a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with fresh tarragon or chives, and serve immediately.
