Small Businesses Weigh Impact Of Minimum Wage Increase
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A law increasing minimum wages went into effect July 1, and will top out at $15 an hour for most wage earners in 2024. Several local businesses said they’ll be able to shoulder the additional cost, but mostly because they don’t have too many employees. Frank Kenny from Ken’s Hardware in Toms River
has been a family-run business since his father opened up shop 42 years ago. “We’ve always paid our employees more than minimum wage because we want to keep them here,” he said. “This $15 minimum wage is not going to affect me.” At the time of the interview, the store had eight (Wage - See Page 4)

By Chris Lundy FREEHOLD – Jake Honig’s Law, which expands medical marijuana use in the state, was signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy. The bill was named after a young boy from Howell nicknamed “The Tank” who fought a losing battle with brain cancer. His family became strong advocates of medical marijuana since it alleviated his pain. The problem was that New Jersey’s strict law prevented the family from getting more than two ounces a month of it for someone his age. The governor Tweeted “Today I was proud to sign the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act into law, honoring Jake The Tank’s life by expanding medical marijuana access for patients. We must continue to expand access to this life-changing medical treatment.” The Facebook page dedicated to Jake praised the bill: “Thank you to everyone who took part in making this one of the strongest medical marijuana bills in the country. We are proud to be part of a bill that will directly impact tens of thousands of patients.” They listed the parameters of the bill: Patients will be able to receive 3 ounces per month, which may be increased again in 18 months. Patients with life-threatening illness will have no limits. “Fear of running out of medicine is over.” Patients can receive a 12-month prescription for enough medicine to last a year, increased from the current 90-day allotment. Alternative Treatment Centers can now make home delivery of medical cannabis. Tax on medical cannabis will be decreased every (Bill - See Page 4)

all sizes and breeds. Word spread from neighboring fire companies about the special oxygen masks for pets, and when Chief William Gotto found out, he put in a request for Ramtown-Howell to get some. In many households, pets are considered members of the family. However, it is not easy for an animal to escape a home fire without help. While fire companies service local residents, Ramtown-Howell Fire Company wants to make sure the animals are safe as well. According to Canine Company, approximately 40,000 pets die from smoke inhalation throughout the US each year. In order to

Ensuring that they have the proper equipment to save an animal is only the first half of the battle. The second part is up to the residents. In order for rescuers to know there are pets in your home in the event of an emergency, a special decal is needed. Township residents can get a “Pets Inside” decal, also courtesy of Canine Company, for free at the Ramtown-Howell Fire Company or online through the Request a Decal form on Canine Company’s website caninecompany.com. In addition to Ramtown-Howell, Adelphia Fire Department, Jackson Township EMS, and Oceanport EMS received these masks, among other departments.
of Murphy said the three bills were connected because the recreational bill would not have enough votes without the more popular medicinal and expungement bills connected to it. According to a representative for the state Democrats, the recreational bill did not get posted because there are not enough votes. The expungement bill was approved by the legislature and is awaiting the governor’s signature.

Continued From Page 1 full time workers and four part time, not including Kenny and his brother. He said he wasn’t concerned about employees leaving for better paying jobs, because there are some that have been here a long time. The owner of Perfect Swing Golf in Toms River, Mike Hovance, said he is only unaffected by it as he has a very small nu mber of employees. A few years ago, when they were located in Lakewood, they had a driving range with nine employees. Many of them were pensioners with didn’t mind making $810 an hour. If he would have had to pay them almost twice as much, it would have crippled the business. “We were at the highest end of what we could charge our customers anyway,” he said. “I couldn’t raise the prices anymore. People would stop coming.” Further, it wouldn’t have helped his workers that much. There are a lot of retirees working in the golf industry. Those retirees just enjoyed coming out to the range, talking shop, and getting perks of working for a range. “I understand people needing more money, but then you are charging more for goods and services,” he said. The minimum wage increase is “long overdue,” said Ed Iannone, owner of Steve’s Comic Relief in Toms River. However, “it’s just going to put a lot of stress on mom and pop shops that employ part-time seasonal help. The first several years, I will be able to absorb without any issues. Going into the third, fourth
and fifth years, I, like most other people running small operations, will more than likely will cut back on part time help.” The hourly pay is only one piece of the puzzle, he said. There’s another side of it that the state is not talking about, and that’s the ancillary costs that this will bring. Worker’s comp is tied to payroll, so that will increase accordingly. “I’ll also be paying toward Social Security because as an employer I’m picking up 50 percent of employee Social Security,” he said. Five years down the road, he expects to see part time work vanish because small businesses can’t bring in enough profit to afford to pay them. Alizar N. Zorojew, the executive director of the Downtown Toms River Business Improvement District, said he can see both sides of the issue. On one hand, people deserve a livable wage. On the other hand, it’s another challenge for small businesses. “Private businesses could be more likely to automate or to ask more of employees,” he predicted. He expects that – even without the legislation - the market would trend toward paying employees more to attract and retain better workers. If it had happened naturally it would have gone more smoothly. Fortunately, the seasonal employees are on a different pay scale, said Lori Pepenella, Chief Executive Officer of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce. Many businesses in this region rely on seasonal help. The chamber (Wage - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 4 had advocated for a gentler phase in for seasonal employees. “It gives us more time before it actually hits,” she said. While the businesses understand the reasoning behind the increase, the chamber has been assisting them in preparing themselves for the increased costs. “When you’re not having a full time staff, you’re retraining every year,” she said. So, the build-up in pay will keep trained employees coming back. What Will The Increases Look Like? The language of the bill is as follows: “The bill provides that, except for certain workers specified by the bill, the general minimum wage rate will be increased to $10 per hour on July 1, 2019, to $11 per hour on January 1, 2020, followed by $1 increases each year until the rate reaches a level of $15.00 per hour in 2024.” Employers with less than six employees, or seasonal non-tipped employees, would have this instead: “The minimum wage
The Howell Times, July 13, 2019, Page 5 rate will be increased to $10.30 per hour on January 1, 2020, and then increased each year from 2021 to 2025 by eighty cents, and then increased in 2026 by seventy cents so that it reaches a level of $15 per hour in 2026, followed by further increases from 2027 to 2028 as needed to have these employees provided the same minimum wage rate as the general minimum wage rate in 2028.” Farm laborers would have yet another rate: “the rate will be increased to $10.30 on January 1, 2020, $10.90 on January 1, 2022, and increased by eighty cents in 2023, and eighty cents in 2024 so that the rate will be $12.50.” At this time, the commissioner and the Secretary of Agriculture would evaluate to see if more increases are warranted. For workers who are tipped, employers will receive credit for tips against the hourly minimum wage rate the employer pays, as follows: “from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, $6.72; after June 30, 2019 and before January 1, 2020, $7.37; during 2020, 2021 and 2022, $7.87; during 2023, $8.87; and during 2024 and subsequent years, $9.87.”

Learn To Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The carbon monoxide detector isn’t blaring from a malfunction. Ocean County Health Department officials are urging residents to take those alarms seriously. It could save a life. When a CO alarm sounds off, leave the home immediately and call for help. “It’s called the silent killer because carbon monoxide is a gas that gives no warning - you can’t see it, taste it or smell it. Never gamble with your family’s health and safety by assuming it just may be the batteries or some other unknown reason that triggered the device,” Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health said. Heating and cooking appliances, tools, vehicles, and other household devices can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, leading to more than 400 deaths each year in the United States. Residents should have CO detectors on every level in their homes and near every sleeping area. Batteries should be replaced twice a year for daylights savings. Suspected malfunctioning batteries should be replaced immediately. “During cold and inf luenza season, symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can easily be confused with symptoms of viral illness like the common cold or f lu. If symptoms come on shortly after
turning on a device in a certain room and go away after leaving the area or more than one person gets sick at the same time, then these are clues to help identify CO poisoning,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, said. Prevention is also key. Keep all heating and dryer vents clear of snow, leaves and other debris. Keep open f lues when using a fireplace. Have chimneys inspected for blockage. Don’t use the stove to heat the home/ apartment. Generators are for outdoor use only. Keep them at least 20 feet from buildings, doors and windows. Keep generators, pressure washers, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal-burning devices out of the house (including a basement, garage, carport, camper, boat cabin, or tent) and away from open windows and doors. Do not idle vehicles in a closed garage. “If someone is unresponsive or unconscious and you suspect them being exposed to CO poisoning, get them out of the house and call 9-1-1 without delay. Trying to open windows is only a waste of time and will only cause you to breathe in more of the dangerous fumes. However, it’s ok to leave the door open after you exit so fresh air can seep in,” Regenye said. For more information on CO poisoning, visit the poison center at njpies.org.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Festive Events Recall The History Of Our Nation – And Our Region From The Desk Of The
Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone I hope everyone had a safe and fun Fourth of July holiday! I’d like to thank all those who have served our great nation and protected our freedom. Your service and commitment is truly appreciated. To celebrate the holiday, I participated in a few events
that showcased how special small-town traditions truly are. I’d like to thank the Monmouth County Historical Association for hosting their Independence Day Celebration at the Allen House, where I had the honor of participating in the reading of the Declaration
of Independence. I was happy to spend part of the holiday walking in the annual Ocean Grove Fourth of July Parade. As always, I had a great time walking the route and seeing everyone dressed in their best patriotic clothing while holding American flags. This year’s Ocean Grove parade was exceptionally significant because they were not only celebrating Independence Day, but also Ocean Grove’s 150 year anniversary. It was truly a wonderful parade and I look forward to next year’s
celebration! I’d like to thank the City of Long Branch for hosting another successful Oceanfest on the Fourth of July. I had the chance to stop by in the afternoon and I can tell you personally it was packed! It’s always great to see families taking advantage of all our county has to offer. In addition to the numerous Fourth of July activities, I had the honor of attending the Ocean Township Council meeting last week with Sheriff Shaun Golden and Clerk Christine Hanlon to recognize Donna Schepi-
ga and Richard Long on their retirement from the Ocean Township Council. They have both contributed enormously to the Ocean Township community and I want to thank them for their service and dedication. During the meeting, the new Ocean Township Council was sworn into office. Congratulations to Mayor Chris Siciliano, Deputy Mayor John Napolitani Sr. and Council members Robert Acerra Sr., David Fisher and Margaret Donlon on their swearing in. I wish you all the best of luck for a
successful term. On another note, our Department of Public Works and Engineering has been taking advantage of the warmer months by completing ongoing road projects throughout the county. It is the time of year when weather permits many of these projects to get done. I ask for your patience while our crews are out there working and for all motorists to drive with caution while traveling around these construction projects. I’ve (Arnone - See Page 19)
Lakewood Airport Awarded $242K FAA Grant to Design New Aircraft Apron From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Chris Smith (R-4) said the awarding of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant to Lakewood Airport is another solid step to modernize the Lakewood Township facility. Recent infrastructure improvements to the airport
have helped enhance air operations, leading to a shortage in aircraft tie-down apron spots and hangar space. The airport, which first foresaw the need following a study more than a decade ago, has been hard-pressed to meet the need of both locally-based and transient aircraft.
The $242,640 grant will be used for the design phase of improvements that will feature a 12,000 square yard (SY) apron to securely park planes. When completed, the project will upgrade existing aircraft parking areas with a 9,200 SY transient apron adjacent to the Taxiway A, a 13,700 SY apron by the terminal building and maintenance area, and a 3,300 SY apron between the airport’s storage hangar and the northwest side of Runway 6/24. The need for the project was cited in the 2006 Airport Master
Plan that determined improvements were necessary that would bring sufficient paved parking spaces for local-based and visiting aircraft, and it recommended a 12,000 S.Y. of apron should be constructed. “This funding was approved by the FAA and will be used to design operational upgrades to Lakewood Airport facilities,” Smith said. “The Lakewood Airport is an important component to the Lakewood Office Industrial Park and helps boost economic activity in Lakewood and in the surrounding Ocean
County area.” The airport, located in Lakewood Township’s Office Industrial Park, is less than 40 minutes flying time from numerous East Coast metropolitan international airports. Lakewood Airport is classified as a general aviation facility by the FAA. This latest grant to keep Lakewood Airport modern and operational follows other grants including a $405,000 FAA grant in 2015 for the final phase of improvements to runway 6/24, a 2014 FAA $84,000 grant used to design a new taxiway intended to
increase safety, and a 2013 FAA grant for $220,500 used for the removal of obstructions both on and off airport property that interfered with runway 6/24. “This project will ultimately enable us to meet more demand and to pursue other expanded services with this new capacity on hand,” said Steve Reinman Director of Economic & Industrial Development for Lakewood Township. “We appreciate all the help from Congressman Smith and the federal government to serve the people of Lakewood better.”
Bill Would Allow NJ Grads To Wear Military Sashes Capitol Comments Assemblyman Edward H. Thomson 30th Legislative District, Serving Wall
TRENTON - Assemblymen Edward H. “Ned’ Thomson and Ryan Peters announced they are drafting legislation that would require school
districts to allow students to wear military sashes at graduation ceremonies. “Young men and women who choose to serve our
country should be lauded for their decision to join our armed forces,” said Thomson (R-30th). The bill would force schools to establish graduation policies that would let students joining a military branch wear official articles such as a sash that denotes the branch in which they enlisted. “Every year, I go to local high schools to honor stu-
dents entering the military, and it really makes a difference when we show our support,” said Peters (R-Burlington), a former Navy SEAL who currently serves as a lieutenant commander for SEAL Team 18 in the Naval Reserve. “The morale of our military is important, and we should do what we can to boost it. They earned this recognition.”
The bill was drafted in response to a Point Pleasant Borough High School graduate who was told he could not wear a sash indicating he had joined the U.S. Marines at a recent graduation ceremony. “While schools will retain the authority to govern decorum at graduation, the students joining the armed forces are deserving of special recognition for their decision
to serve our nation. Letting them show off their military branch is a simple way to demonstrate our gratitude,” said Thomson. “School districts have to balance many responsibilities and this bill will help ensure there is no confusion regarding the right of these brave men and women to display their patriotism during graduation ceremonies.”

Dropbox Now Available for Tax & Sewer Utility Payments HOWELL – The Tax and Utility Collector’s now has 24 hour access to drop off Tax and Sewer Utility payments. The drop box is available 7 days a week/365 days a year for payment drop off when: • Your work schedule prevents you from coming to the Collection office during normal business hours (Mon-Fri 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) • The weekends are a more convenient alternative for you to drop off your payment. • It is getting close to the end of the grace period and you are concerned your payment will not be received in time to avoid interest. • It is simply more convenient to use the drop box during normal business hours. Dropbox Guidelines: • Payments left in the after-hours drop box will be retrieved once daily by 9 a.m. every business day. • Payments placed in the drop box are not considered “received” until they are removed from the drop box by the Tax Collector’s staff
and entered into the Tax Collector’s system after the 9 a.m. daily pick-up. Your cancelled check is your receipt. • For late payments, interest will be calculated to the business day the payment is retrieved to Collection office and posted the corresponding account. • Cash payments are NOT PERMITTED in the drop box. • Please do not postdate your checks. We are unable to hold them as New Jersey statutes require payments to be deposited within 48 hours of receipt. • Please use a sealed envelope with the payment remittance stub to submit your payment to the drop box. Your block & lot information should be written in the memo section of the check. Verify that the written amount of the check matches the numerical amount and the check is signed. The location of the drop box is monitored by a security camera at all times.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Mullein Has 5 Tremendous Medicinal Benefits
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Mullein is known botanically as Verbascum thapus. It has soft fuzzy leaves as well as gorgeous yellow flowers towering at the top. Mullein is misunderstood and assumed to be an unwelcome weed but it simply isn’t true. Mullein has many generous offerings for us, and the medicinal properties rival that of many other so-called weeds like stinging nettle, plantain, Japanese Knotweed (resveratrol) and yarrow. Your grandma might have even steeped the leaves of mullein to make you a cough syrup or hot tea which is great for colds and flu. This natural remedy has a strong anti-viral effect of mullein. Harvesting mullein is pretty easy, I just recommend that you get it from a trusted source where it was grown in nice, clean soil and preferably organically. You can buy the dried herb on Amazon. 5 Benefits of Mullein Root 1. Relieve Ear Aches. Thanks to mullein’s strong anti-inflammatory effect, it can help with ear aches and infections for humans, and possibly dogs. If you browse health food stores and e-tailers, you’ll find mullein and mullein/garlic ear drops. 2. Increase Lymph Flow. Mullein may be useful for bruises and skin infections. Some people take the large leaves and utilize them as compresses. The leaves can be picked off, and steeped gently and then when cool, applied directly on to the bruise. This reduces inflammation and pain. Likewise, an easier remedy is to purchase a cream, tincture, supplement or tea and use (or ingest) as directed according
to your package. 3. May Reduce Goiter. Mullein is a strong anti-inflammatory and has been studied for its effect in reducing glandular inflammation of the thyroid. Mullein can be extremely useful in some cases but not all, as it may help reduce goiter. Another popular supplement for goiter is iodine-iodide. Check with your doctor, but mullein dietary supplements may be useful for this. Furthermore, the beneficial compounds of mullein can be mixed into jojoba or apricot oil and rubbed onto the thyroid gland area (goiter area). FYI, another popular supplement for goiter is Iodine. 4. Helps Breathing. Leaves from mullein are helpful with lung congestion and mucus production. It appears to work by dilating capillaries and therefore increasing circulation. This helps relieve stagnancy and congestion making it an interesting adjunctive remedy to people with COPD, bronchitis, asthma and dry coughs. 5. Soothe Skin, Cold Sores and Hemorrhoids. Mullein leaves can benefit your skin and be used as a compress for external hemorrhoids, cold sores and skin wounds. One way to make use of this benefit is to make tea with a commercial tea bag or the dried herb itself. Cool the steeped liquid and apply directly to the site. I have a more comprehensive version of this article which includes a DIY recipe for a skin (hemorrhoidal) cream as well as my Mullein Elderberry Tea recipe. I’ll email you this longer, exclusive article if you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law The New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act Robert C. Shea Esq. By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates On October 29, New Jersey became the 10th state to enact a statewide mandatory paid-sick-leave law. The New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act requires that nearly all New Jersey employers provide up to 40 hours of paid sick leave per year to covered employees. Here is an overview of what New Jersey employers need to know: Who Is Covered? Covered employees: The act applies to most employees working in the state “for compensation.” The act expressly excludes employees in the construction industry employed under a collective bargaining agreement, per diem healthcare employees, and public employees who already have sick leave benefits. Covered employers: The act broadly applies to any business entity, irrespective of size, that employs employees in the state of New Jersey, including a temporary help service firm. It expressly excludes public employers required to provide their employees with sick leave. How Is Leave Accrued? Accrual period: The act requires employers to designate any period of 12 consecutive months as a “benefit year.” Employers cannot change the established benefit year without first notifying the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Under the act, current employees begin accruing sick time on the effective date of the act. New employees hired after the effective date of the act begin accruing sick time on the first date of their employment. Accrual limits: In each benefit year, an employee will accrue up to 40 hours of sick time at a rate of one hour for every 30 hours worked. Alternatively, an employer may “frontload” the full 40 hours at the beginning of the benefit year. Employers with existing paid time off (PTO), personal days, vacation days and sick-day policies may utilize those policies to satisfy the requirements of the act as long as employees can use the time off as required by the act. In the case of a temporary help service firm placing an employee with client firms, paid sick leave will accrue on the basis of the total time worked on assignment with the firm, not separately for each client firm to which the employee is assigned. How Can Leave Be Used? Employers are not required to permit employees to use more than 40 hours of sick leave in a benefit year. Employees can use accrued sick time after the 120th day of their first date of employment for the following reasons: • Diagnosis, care or treatment of—or recovery from—an employee’s own mental or physical illness, including preventive medical care. • Aid or care for a covered family member during diagnosis, care or treatment of—or recovery from—the family member’s mental or physical illness, including preventive medical care. • Circumstances related to an employee’s or their family member’s status as a victim of domestic or sexual violence (including the need to obtain related medical treatment, seek counseling, relocate or participate in related legal services). • Closure of an employee’s workplace or of a school/childcare of an employee’s child because of a public official’s order relating to a public health emergency. • Time to attend a meeting requested or required by school staff to discuss a child’s health condition or disability. The act broadly defines “family member” to include individuals related by blood to the employee or whose close association with the employee is the equivalent of a family relationship. Employers may not require an employee to find a replacement to cover the employee’s absence. Carryover and Payout Rules Maximum carryover: The act does not require employers to permit employees to carry over more than 40 hours of accrued sick time in a single benefit year. Optional buyout: Employers may, but are not obligated to, offer to pay employees for their unused accrued sick time in the final month of the benefit year. If employees agree to receive the payment, they may choose a payment for the full amount of their unused accrued sick time or for 50 percent of such time. The payment amount shall be based on the same rate of pay that the employee earns at the time of the payment. If an employer frontloads the entire amount of sick time, it must either pay the employee for the full amount of unused accrued sick time in the final month of the employer’s benefit year or carry forward any unused sick time to the next benefit year. Employee approval is not required. In What Increments Can Workers Use Leave? The act provides employers with the discretion to choose the increments in which its employees may use accrued sick time. However, the largest increment chosen may not be larger than the number of hours an employee was scheduled to work in a given shift. For example, if an employee is scheduled to work a 7-hour shift, the employer cannot mandate that the employee use paid sick
time in increments of eight hours. What Happens Upon Transfer, Separation or Reinstatement? Transfer of employment to a related or successor employer: If an employee is employed by a successor employer or transferred to a separate division, entity or location of the same Michael J. Deem employer, the employee will retain and be entitled to use all accrued sick time. Separation of employment: Unless the employer has a policy or collective bargaining agreement providing for the payment of accrued sick leave upon termination, resignation, retirement or other separation from employment, the act does not require the employer to pay employees for unused accrued sick leave upon the separation from employment. Reinstatement of employment: If an employee is separated from employment but then reinstated within six months, all of the employee’s unused and accrued sick time must be reinstated. What Notice and Documentation Is Required? Foreseeable absences: Employers may require advance notice, not to exceed seven calendar days, of the intention to use the leave and the expected duration. Employers may require employees to make a reasonable effort to schedule the use of sick leave in a manner that does not unduly disrupt the operations of the employer. Employers may prohibit employees from using foreseeable sick leave on certain dates, and require reasonable documentation if sick leave that is not foreseeable is used during those dates. Unforeseeable absences: Employers may require employees to give notice of the intention to use the leave as soon as practicable, provided that the employer has notified the employee of this requirement. Absences of three days or more: If an employee is absent for at least three consecutive days, the employer may require documentation that confirms that the employee used sick leave for a covered purpose. What Are the Notice and Record-Keeping Rules? Employers must post a notification of employees’ rights under the act and provide employees with a written copy of the notice within 30 days after the department has issued a model notice and each time thereafter when an employee is hired or requests such a notice. Additionally, employers must retain records documenting hours worked by employees and paid sick time taken by employees for a period of five years and permit the department access to those records. What If We Have a Collective Bargaining Agreement? The act does not apply to employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that is in effect at the time of the effective date of the act, at least until the CBA expires. Even then, employees or their representatives may waive the rights under the act during the negotiation of the CBA. What About Local Paid-Sick-Leave Laws? The act preempts all existing and future municipal ordinances in New Jersey regarding paid sick time. How Will the Law Be Enforced? Employees may sue their employers for violating the act and can seek actual damages suffered as a result of the violation, plus an equal amount of liquidated damages. How Does the Anti-Retaliation Provision Work? The anti-retaliation provision of the act includes a rebuttable presumption that an employer’s actions are unlawful if it takes adverse action against an employee within 90 days of the employee engaging in activity protected under the act. This includes such actions as filing a complaint with the department, cooperating with an investigation, opposing policies and practices that are unlawful under the act, or informing other individuals of their rights under the act. What Should Employers Do Now? In anticipation of the effective date of this new law, you should review your paid time off, vacation or other paid leave policies to determine whether you will have to implement a paid-sicktime policy for any of your employees or amend your existing policies to ensure compliance with the act. You should also inform managers and supervisors of any new policy changes and of the importance of the provisions of the law prohibiting retaliation. You should also consider revising your employee handbooks to account for these changes. For example, if you choose not to pay out accrued but unused sick leave upon termination, you must make that abundantly clear in your written policies. Finally, you should be on the lookout for the poster and template notice issued by the Department.

Continued From Page 7 said it before and I’ll say it again, we have the best employees who are truly passionate about and take great pride in their work. Landfill Update Lastly, I want to update everyone on our efforts to eliminate the odors being emitted at the Monmouth County Reclamation Center. All landfilling operations in Area 4 of Phase 3 have been completed. As a result, the active area of the landfill is now fully moved to a location that is further away from Shafto Road. This area is better protected from wind and precipitation, which will further reduce any odors. Additionally, a more durable, weather resistant material is being used on the landfill that will further contain odors and liquids produced. Two Neutralene Vapor Systems have been converted to solar power, which will require less maintenance and power usage. Also, the Neutralene used in the vapor system has been diluted by 50% to minimize the fragrance emitted. I am also
The Howell Times, July 13, 2019, Page 19 pleased to say that there have been minimal odor complaints to the Monmouth County Health Department or DEP since the beginning of June. Moreover, I am pleased to announce that the contractor for the Landfill Gas Collection System (LGCS) has begun to weld pipe sections and staging the welded lengths per the engineered layout. An experienced LGCS Operator reported to the Monmouth County Reclamation Center (MCRC) and will monitor and tune the newly installed system. I am happy to report that the MCRC had a successful site inspection from NJDEP Solid Waste Enforcement with no reportable issues or problems. I continue to keep in constant contact with all of those who provided their email address with weekly reports, which are also posted on the County’s website at visitmonmouth.com. If you would like to get those emails from me, please sign up for my email list by emailing my office at:
Thomas.Arnone@co.monmouth. nj.us.
As always, it’s a privilege to serve as your Freeholder. I look forward to continuing to serve!

Write Your Memoir Five Minutes at a Time HOWELL – Write Your Memoir Five Minutes at a Time will be held at Howell Library, 1-2:30 p.m., July 17. Unlike autobiography, memoir is based on the idea that everyone has a story to tell, a story that matters. Writing memoir asks that one awaken and be guided by empathy towards oneself and others. In this way, memoir prompts a journey of self-discovery that enables writers to gain insight into their past.
Through valuable lessons in the craft of memoir, the exploration of editorial revisions, and invaluable writing suggestions, participants learn how to develop a writing practice and continue their writing life beyond the session.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 13 - july 19
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your social instincts are energized, and your hormones may be flowing strongly. Because you feel attractive it is easy to attract others. Restrain your impulses; avoid making crucial changes in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Everything may go smoothly when you are with your tribe. It could require more patience to spend time with those of differing viewpoints. Avoid arguments and overreacting to criticism in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may have a shorter than usual attention span but be sure to pay bills and watch overspending on non-essentials. In the week ahead you may need to discipline yourself to stay focused on responsibilities. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Starting something new might take more patience than you’d like. As this week unfolds you might find it difficult to move forward with projects because plans seem to run into roadblocks at every turn. Hold off on launching new schemes. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be patient and persistent, even if frustrations and delays crop up in your work in the week ahead. Get plenty of sleep so you can handle your responsibilities and any crises that erupt. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It could be a challenge to concentrate in the upcoming week especially if there is too much going on. If your creative energies hit a brick wall, hit up your favorite someone for some good ideas.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You could be possessive of a loved one’s affections and feel hurt if someone else earns their admiration. Practice self-validation and remember love can be infinite. Remain balanced this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your feelings won’t change if conditions change. You and a loved one are on the same basic wavelength so the two of you can easily handle any challenging or unpredictable situations in the week to come. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When you feel good about yourself it is easy to be friendly toward others. You are shrewd about handling daily business. You could be reminded in the week to come that is better to save money than spend it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Balance the heavy load. Don’t add more tasks to your agenda in the upcoming week, as you will have enough to handle. You can’t place blame on anyone else if you refuse to take your obligations seriously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be sensible and put things in proportion. In the upcoming week you might find occasions when you are tempted to overreact. Hold off on starting anything of major consequence and put contracts on the back burner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Once work is done you can have some fun. In the week ahead you must fulfill all your responsibilities, but in your spare time you can concentrate on making your surroundings more aesthetically appealing.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Make Your Summer Menu Sizzle With Grilled Steaks By Wolfgang Puck
Are you still trying to decide on your ultimate summer main course? Or did you decide just moments ago to upgrade it? I’ve got good news for you: It’s not too late. The secret is to start with the right high-quality star ingredient. If you want chicken, seek out plump boneless breasts or thighs, with or without the skin, depending on your preference, that will grill quickly and evenly. Or look for fresh fish fillets of your choice, choosing those that appear moist and firm, with the fresh, clean scent of the sea. If you’re set on serving meat, quick and easy grilling starts with the right cut. Seek out high-quality, tender meat that’s full of flavor and cooks quickly and easily. Pork loin chops or lamb tenderloin medallions are two examples that fit that description. One of my favorite beef cuts is New York steak, also known as New York strip, a cut from the upper part of the short loin section combining superb tenderness with rich flavor. All you need to do is grill the steak directly over high heat turning it once, until wellseared and done to perfection - which, to my preference is medium-rare, registering 135 F to 140 F (57 C to 60 C) on an instant-read grilling thermometer. Of course, for any great ingredient, how you season it and the sauce or condiment you serve with it can easily elevate it from good to great. As you’ll see in my recipe for grilled New York steaks with cilantro-shallot sauce, such results are surprisingly easy to achieve. The first step is simply drizzling a little peanut oil, which has a rich flavor that complements the meat, on the uncooked steaks. (You could certainly use a good olive oil instead if you prefer). Then, I sprinkle on a generous amount of kosher salt and pepper on both sides. During grilling, the seasoning combines with the juices to form a flavorful crust to savor with each bite. While the grill is heating, I also use that time to prepare an easy sauce for the steaks. In this recipe, that means simply sauteing shallots and garlic, cilantro, ginger and red pepper flakes, then quickly simmering the mixture with some stock or broth and bottled Chinese hoisin sauce (found in the Asian foods section of any well-stocked market), which adds richness and body. If you like, you could serve the finished steaks whole and pass the sauce on the side. But I prefer to take the extra step of slicing each steak and serving it with the sauce so the juices mingle with it. Enjoy! GRILLED NEW YORK STEAKS WITH CILANTRO-SHALLOT SAUCE
Serves 6 8 tablespoons peanut oil 4 shallots, thinly sliced 4 garlic cloves, minced 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus 12 whole sprigs 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger 1 to 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth 1/2 cup (125 mL) bottled Chinese hoisin sauce 1/4 cup (60 mL) soy sauce 3 tablespoons honey 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 boneless New York strip steaks, each 6 to 8 ounces (185 to 250 g) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Build a hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas or electric grill. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Drizzle 4 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a large saute pan, and place it over medium heat. Watch carefully and, when the oil just starts to give off wisps of smoke, add the shallots, garlic, chopped cilantro, ginger and red pepper flakes to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the stock, hoisin and soy sauce, and simmer briskly, stirring frequently, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the honey and butter; reduce the heat to very low, cover and keep warm. When the grill is ready, put the steaks on a platter and generously season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper; there should be enough for the seasonings to be visible on the surface of the meat. Rub the steaks on both sides with the remaining peanut oil. Place the steaks on the grill, and cook them 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning them once with grill tongs; an instant-read grill thermometer inserted into the middle of the thickest part of a steak should register 135 F to 140 F (57 C to 60 C). Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, cover loosely with heavy-duty aluminum foil, and set aside in a warm place to rest for 5 minutes, to let the juices settle. Using a sharp carving knife, with the blade at a 45-degree angle, cut each steak crosswise into slices 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick, and arrange them overlapping on individual warmed serving plates. Spoon some warm sauce over each steak and transfer the rest to a sauceboat for guests who want extra. Garnish each steak with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.
