By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Will a solar farm be coming to Manchester? Mayor Kenneth Palmer’s administration is filing the necessary paper work with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities while holding preliminary talks with solar energy professionals about
building a solar farm on the closed Whiting Landfill on Route 70. A “solar farm,” according to Energy Sage, is “sometimes referred to as a photovoltaic power station, [and] is typically a large decentralized solar array supplying electricity to the power grid. The majority of these massive
arrays are owned by utilities and are merely another asset for the utility to supply power to properties in their coverage area.” Manchester Business Administrator Donna Markulic said the township has not entered into any binding agreements w it h a nyone about a solar farm, “but
we are excited about the potential opportunity to go green and offset electric costs.” She added the paperwork needs to be submitted to NJBPU by Sept. 9, and the project must star t within 6 months of receiving approvals. It was not immediately clear how (Solar - See Page 8)

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 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. (Wage Increase - See Page 9)

Medical Marijuana Bill Signed By Governor
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 (Marijuana - See Page 5)

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.”
The Manchester Times, July 13, 2019, Page 5 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 year and completely eliminated by 2022. The medical component was one of three marijuana-related bills that were being discussed in Trenton. One would legalize recreational use of the drug. Another would expunge people’s records of some marijuana possession charges. At one point, they were banded together. Critics 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.

1985, when state rule changes led to the closure of most municipal landfills. The site, a half-mile west of Route 539 on Route 70, still operates as a compost facility and recycling center. Sixteen of the 95 acres of that site served as the original landfill. If the solar farm goes forward, the township would lease, not sell, the land, Markulic said. The township was researching what
it would take to cap the landfill when Intek approached it about creating a solar farm. “During those discussions our engineers suggested the potential of placing solar on it for revenue. W hen Intek realized we had a landfill they asked to meet to go over some opportunities. It was learned in that meeting that a company like Intek could pay for the capping of the landfill and offset their

costs by the town receiving reduced lease payments or we could pay for the capping ourselves through a bond and use the full ease payments to pay off the bond,” Markulic said. A solar farm would offer at least several direct benefits to the township. “First and foremost it benefits the town to ensure our landfill is capped as required by law. Capping restricts surface water infiltration into the dump site and reduces the potential of leaching from the site. There is also a community solar pilot project that could offset the cost of electric for some residents and a net metering option that would lower the Township’s cost of electric which would have a positive impact on the budget,” Markulic said. “Currently we spend around $660,000 in electric costs for Township buildings and operations. Since there are several different options and we are in preliminary talks, I cannot say at this point which program the Township would choose.” Unless the township ultimately has to go to bond to cap the landfill, there should be no cost to the township for this proposed project. “Right now we have Maser Consulting getting ready to do a delineation of the site to map out exactly how much area needs to be capped and then a cost analysis would be done to find out the final cost of capping it. Regarding just the solar part of it, we would not pay for anything, the solar company will handle all permits, equipment and labor,” Markulic said. She explained that there “should be no impact” on the area once a solar farm is installed. There won’t be general public access to the site, but work vehicles will have access to perfor m routine maintenance. “Upon speaking with a fire official there is no concern of danger from fire as these systems have fail safes built in to prevent fires. If somehow there was a fire the fire departments are equipped with dry chemicals and foam for special circumstances if necessary,” Markulic said. “All f i re depar t ments receive training on solar panel fires which are actually more of a hazard on a roof of a structure than on a cleared parcel of land.”

Booker Calls For Judiciary Committee Hearing On ICE Abuses Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called on Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to hold an oversight hearing on U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), in the wake of “egregious and appalling abuses” revealed in recent news reports. “I am writing to you to request that the Senate Judiciary Committee hold an oversight hearing over U.S. Immigration and Cus-
Wage Increase: Continued From Page 1
The owner of Perfect Swing Golf in Toms River, Mike Hovance, said he is only unaffected by it as he has a very small number 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
toms Enforcement (ICE) to provide Committee members an oppor t u nit y to question the agency about egregious and appalling abuses detailed in recent news reports,” Booker said in a letter sent to Chairma n G r a ha m. “A mong many abuses, these reports outlined the agency’s widespread use of solitary conf inement for im migrants in the civil immigration detention system (a form of torture), as well as the grossly unsanitary
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 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
Booker was instrumental in effectively ending the practice of juvenile solitary conf inement in federal prisons during final negotiations of The First Step Act, which was signed into law last December. That measure was based upon two bills to end juvenile confinement (the MERCY Act and the REDEEM Act) that Booker has introduced each session of Congress si nce becom i ng a U.S. Senator. The letter follows a bill
conditions at detention facilities.” “It’s becoming increasingly clear that ICE has become nothing more than a lethal weapon in the Trump Administration’s war on immigrants and communities of color, and we cannot be silent,” Booker added. Booker blasted the agency for its reported use of solitary confinement without justification and pointed out that the world community considers such punishment a form of torture.
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 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

Booker introduced earlier this year that would have prevented many of the abuses revealed in recent news reports. His Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, int roduced in late April, would limit the use of immigrant detention; set safe, secure, and sanitary standards for detention facilities (in accordance with the American Bar Association’s detention standards); and improve congressional oversight of such facilities to eliminate abuse.
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.”

Around The Jersey Shore Missing Dog Jax Is Reunited With His Owners
Jax has been reunited with his owners. By Jason Allentoff STAFFORD TOWNSHIP – After two agonizing weeks filled with police searches, statewide news coverage and thousands of social media posts from concerned residents, Jax, the dog from Southern Ocean County, has finally been rescued and is home with his owners. The ordeal began back on Monday, June 24 with a serious car crash near the Manahawkin Bay Bridge. Gabrielle McMillan, 23, was traveling east on Route 72 when she lost control of her Nissan Sentra. The car left the roadway and rolled after striking a utility pole. In the vehicle at the time of the crash was the boxer/rottweiler mix, Jax, who she shares with her boyfriend Stevie Sheldon, Jr. Immediately following the accident, Jax panicked and ran off. EMS treated McMillan at the scene before sending her to a trauma center in Atlantic City. Thankfully, she sustained non-life threatening injuries and had her seat belt on. Jax, however, was nowhere to be found. Stafford Township Police began searching for Jax. They were able to locate him a few days later near Cedar Bonnet Island Trail. Animal control set up a bait station with food and water for him. Because of the shock and trauma of what happened, rescue crews couldn’t just go in to get him. He was scared but according to Stafford Police Lt. James Vaughn, he had been eating, drinking water and even slept on his owners’ clothes that were left out. The public was also asked to stay away from the area as a precaution to avoid any potential setbacks. Then on July 1, Stafford Police announced that they were no longer involved in the rescue but an independent organization would be handling it going forward. On Monday, July 8, there was happy news to report, according to Danielle Sands, the sister of Stevie Sheldon, Jr., the dog’s co-owner.
–Photo courtesy Danielle Sands Sands told Jersey Shore Online that around 11:30 p.m., her brother and his girlfriend, who is now home recovering from the accident, got the call that Jax was captured. Sands said “the night before, Jax was seen on camera poking his head into the enclosure trap that was set up for him. Then, Monday night, he finally went into it and the door closed behind him. Jax was finally decompressed and relaxed enough to be caught!” Sands added that her brother and his girlfriend can breathe again. “Gabbie had been home resting after the accident but now she can finally rest even more with Jax home. They are so happy to have their baby back. It was the worst feeling in the world, knowing he was out there,” Sands explained. So how is Jax doing? Sands said that he was covered in ticks and his chest was red. The vet put him on an antibiotic, flea medication and a dewormer. He was very happy to see his owners. Jax’s family wants to thank Stafford Township Police, Animal Control and volunteers from Mama’s-gona Rescue for the time, dedicated resources and assistance they all provided during the search and rescue. Sands also wanted to thank the public. She said “there was an overwhelming amount of people wanting to help both on social media and with the search. My family and I appreciate each and every one of you.” Sands has started a GoFundMe page to raise money for Jax and his owners. She said “Gabbie is going to be out of work for at least two weeks due to her injuries and my brother Stevie missed work when hunting for Jax. I want to try and raise money to offset expenses they may incur including vet bills.” The GoFundMe goal is set at $3,000 but any amount could help.

Tips For Hearing In Noisy Situations
Those without hearing loss can have problems hearing at parties, particularly if there is background noise. Having a hearing loss makes it even harder to understand speech when other noises are present. Here are some strategies to maximize your ability to communicate with others: 1. In restaurants. Choose a table off to one side or in the corner of the restaurant. It is more difficult to hear in the middle of a restaurant. 2. In meetings or lectures. Normally, it is best to sit in front of, but not too close to, the speaker. Some lecture halls have assisted listening devices you can borrow.
3. Face the speaker. Move closer to the person you want to hear and watch his/her lips. 4. Listen to one person. Don’t try to listen to the whole group and pick out multiple conversations simultaneously. It just won’t work. 5. Help from the speaker. It is important to speak slowly and clearly. When asked to repeat, say it again more clearly or rephrase what you have already said. 6. Regular check-ups. Have your hearing aid cleaned and checked every six months. An adjustment may improve your ability to understand in groups.

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.

Filing Deadline For School Board Candidates Is July 29 By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Nominating petitions
Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Page 35
for board of education seats are due by 4 p.m. July 29 to the Ocean County Clerk’s Office. Those petitions are available in person at the clerk’s office in the Ocean County Courthouse, Election Services, room 107, 118 Washington St. in Toms River, or at the Ocean County Southern Service Center at 179 Main St. in Manahawkin.
Board of Education members are elected during the general election, which this year is Nov. 5. There are 66 open seats this election cycle. Candidates running on the same slate can file one petition, Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella said. They may also choose a three-word slogan which, if used, must be
part of the petition and will appear under their names on the ballot. “Simply, more than one candidate can appear and circulate the same petition for the same office and term,” he said. “In the past, petitions had to be filed separately, even if all the candidates were running on one slate.” Petitions must be filed with disclosure statements, which declare a candidate has not been convicted of a disqualifying crime. Candidates who need more information can call the election office at 732-929-2153. A list of candidates will be available after July 29 at oceancountyclerk.com or facebook.com/oceancountyclerk.

Inside The Law
609.971.2627 DAILY SPECIALS
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.

New Oyster Creek Owner: Land To Be Ready In 10 Years
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY — The sale is finally complete. Oyster Creek Generating Station has officially changed hands from Exelon Generation to new owner, Camden-based Holtec International. The purchase was made complete on Monday, July 1. Oyster Creek Generating Station officially closed its doors and powered down its operations on September 17, 2018. One of the oldest nuclear power plants in the country, Oyster Creek was in business for nearly half a century. “For 49 years, the plant safely and reliably powered more than a half-million homes and businesses with carbon-free energy,” stated Exelon Generation. Prior to the completion of the sale, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the transfer of the plant’s operating license to Holtec subsidiaries Oyster Creek Environmental Protection, LLC (“OCEP”), as owner, and Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC, as operator (“HDI”), for decommissioning. With the help of the OCEP, Holtec Decommissioning International will oversee decommissioning, another word for the dismantling of the plant. While Exelon’s original decommissioning plan laid out a timeline over 60 years, Holtec plans to complete the process and have the land ready for reuse in just 10 years. “Our primary goal is to decommission Oyster Creek safely and with the community’s best interests in mind. Many of the excellent plant staff will join our exceptionally qualified engineers as we set a new bar in decommissioning excellence,” said Holtec President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Kris Singh. According to Holtec, their new spent fuel storage systems will allow them to speed
up decommissioning by transporting radioactive fuel into storage casks years earlier than originally planned. The spent fuel will be moved into an onsite dry storage facility called an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). While the ISFSI used to take five or more years, Holtec’s new dry storage system will cut this time in half, taking only 2.5 years, according to the company. Holtec is currently working on licensing a consolidated interim storage (CIS) facility called HI-STORE in New Mexico where the spent fuel will be stored. In the meantime, spent fuel from the plant will be stored in casks on the Oyster Creek property. “Protecting the health and safety of employees, the community and the environment has been a central focus for Oyster Creek throughout its operating history,” Holtec Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Pierre Oneid said. “This will continue throughout decommissioning with safety being the focus in everything we do.” While residents still have reservations about safety, township officials have welcomed the quicker decommissioning process. “Holtec has been open and transparent in communicating with us and we look forward to supporting and working with them to do what’s best for our community,” stated Lacey Mayor Tim McDonald in a press release. As their partnership comes to an end, officials from now-former owner Exelon Generation made sure to extend thanks to all Oyster Creek employees. “We thank all Oyster Creek employees – past and present – for their dedication to safe operations and now, safe decommissioning. Together with Holtec, they are ideally positioned to complete decommissioning safely and swiftly,” stated Bryan Hanson, Exelon Generation’s chief nuclear officer.

Students Surprise Teacher With “Hamilton” Tickets
By Jennifer Peacock NEW EGYPT – So it appears no one has actually run the numbers, but the Google search “Are you more likely to win the lottery or win ‘Hamilton’ tickets” has 16.8 million hits. Even that stat is illegitimate, and the first few hits discuss how to win the “Hamilton” lottery. New Egypt High School history teacher Thomas Corby has entered the “Hamilton” ticket lottery every day for 4 years. And he’s lost, every day, for 4 years. Ticket prices fluctuate daily, depending on availability and demand, according to Ticketmaster. Just before 3 p.m. June 14, tickets to the Broadway show at Richard Rodgers Theatre were selling for $271+ each in the rear mezzanine and $660+ for orchestra seats in row M, outside Austin Scott’s spittle zone. “I would get an alert on my phone during class saying, ‘Sorry you didn’t win, it’s only a matter of time,’ and it just became an inside joke amongst the kids in myself; multiple sets of kids in multiple years too,” Corby told The Jackson Times via email June 13. Corby is just finishing up his 19th year in New Egypt. He teaches AP US History, AP Government, USII Honors, United States Military History, America’s Pastime. His interest in seeing “Hamilton” is rooted more in his appreciation for Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote and starred in the musical, than the founding father. Corby has wanted to see the musical “since I saw the video of Lin-Manuel playing for Obama. It gripped me how different it was, the same way I try to reach kids in the classroom was the way he was doing it on stage. I showed my students the clip and watched for their reactions and it got them too. I knew that this was special.” He continued: “I was focused mostly on the show more than the person until you [The
Jackson Times] asked that, but ‘Hamilton’ is a very interesting figure in history and I think Lin-Manuel saw that. He is someone that never held an office that casual observers would know, but his influence over Washington in the army and the creation of the government was greater than most people would imagine. Especially with the Bank...sorry, started getting teachery there.” So it was another day, another lost lottery, when Corby’s AP students presented him with an envelope. A student caught Corby’s reaction on video, which made its way onto Today.com. “If you watch the full video you will see I didn’t understand what was going on at first. They wrote a beautiful card and put two drawn up tickets to ‘Hamilton’ inside,” Corby said. “I just thought it was a thank you and a gag with the tickets. It wasn’t until I saw Meg in the back holding the sign did I begin to realize what was going on.” What was going on was, more than 30 students, mostly from his two advanced placement classes, pooled their money and coordinated with Corby’s wife to purchase two tickets to “Hamilton.” The creator himself, Miranda, saw the clip and tweeted June 11: “Making your teacher cry happy tears is SO many bonus points for The Good Place. Great job Hanna, great job kids. Enjoy, Mr. Corby.” Corby will be heading up to New York to see the show late July. Someone from the show contacted him June 13 and said he would be getting backstage access as well. “I told [my students] it says so much about the people they are. Their want to do this, their ability to coordinate this and finally to do something so personal for me...I was floored, honored, humbled by it,” Corby said. The musical is based on the book “Alexander Hamilton” by Ron Chernow.

Safety:
Continued From Page 30 Of the total number of individuals killed in crashes in New Jersey in 2017, nearly one third were pedestrians, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). NHTSA counts that number as 183 pedestrian fatalities out of a total 624 total fatalities. This figure is nearly double the national average of 16 percent, ranking New Jersey as 13th in the nation in pedestrian fatalities per 100,000 people. Think of it this way: one pedestrian is killed every two days in New Jersey. Developed in 2013 by NJTPA, Street Smart NJ is an annual campaign that partners with local police departments throughout the Jersey Shore to promote pedestrian safety during the busy summer beach season. Long Beach Township was one of the NJTPA’s first law enforcement partners. Since its inception, the program has grown to incorporate nearly 100 local communities including Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars, Ship Bottom, Surf City, Asbury Park, Point Pleasant Beach, Bradley Beach, Brielle, Long Branch, Manasquan, and Sea Girt among others. On June 26, officials from Ocean County, NJTPA, Long Beach Township Police, and traffic safety organizations came together to commemorate the kick-off of their 2019 season. “These campaigns make a difference by reminding everyone to follow the laws and be safe,” said Megan Keller, Long Beach Township Police Officer. “Drivers need to slow down, focus on the road and stop for people crossing. And people who are out walking should use crosswalks or cross at corners, wait for the signal and also avoid distractions.” And Keller is right – these campaigns really do make a difference. Analysis performed on campaigns conducted in 2018 and 2019 found Street Smart NJ contributed to: • A 60 percent reduction in drivers failing to stop before turning right at a red signal or stop sign • A 40 percent reduction in turning vehicles failing to stop for people crossing • A 45 percent reduction in drivers running a red light or stop sign • A 21 percent reduction in people crossing against the signal or outside of a crosswalk. One of the event’s speakers was Andy
The Manchester Times, July 13, 2019, Page 33 Anderson of the NJ Bike & Walk Coalition. Anderson connected the purpose of the Street Smart NJ campaign to reality with a tragic story. “On Saturday, my wife and I received a phone call from our youngest daughter and she was in tears…[she] lives and works here every summer in the LBI area and she told us that one of her best friends was struck and killed while jogging in Delaware, where she was attending college,” said Anderson. “She had just turned 23 years old and she was supposed to have plans with my daughter on Sunday. “In that moment it reminded me that none of us…is immune from this.” Anderson echoed Freeholder Kelly and Officer Keller’s statements, adding that we are the only ones who can make a difference in these tragic statistics; he doesn’t believe in calling them “accidents,” either. “It’s not an accident, it’s a crash or a collision and ask yourself…was there anything that someone in this collision could’ve done to avoid it?” he added. Samantha Rodolico, driver’s education teacher at Burlington City High School, provided another perspective of how safety awareness can save lives. “Three years ago Antione Timbers, who was a junior at Burlington City High School, was out at night right across from our high school [on Route 130] when he was struck and killed by a speeding vehicle,” she explained. After this tragic loss, the students and staff knew they wanted to make a change. Using the slogan “25 Saves Lives,” and with the help of the Brain Injury Alliance of NJ, they were able to petition to decrease the speed limit on that road from 50 mph to 25 mph, to reduce the risk of crashes. This is now known as Antione’s Law. During the Street Smart NJ campaign, officers will be working to enforce pedestrian laws as well as educate motorists and pedestrians about the steps they can take to avoid a tragedy or injury on the roadway. Just as Anderson pointed out, this campaign is meant to remind us of the role we play in making our streets safer. Stay alert, put down your phones, keep your heads up, use crosswalks, obey speed limits and signals, and stop for pedestrians.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in
addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology. After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office,

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.
