Residents Prepare For Controversial Development
By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – Supporters and opponents of an application of the proposed Monmouth Commerce Center project will have the chance to present their view during a January 16 planning board meeting
at the municipal building. The meeting, which will start at 7 p.m. at the township’s main administration building, will serve to continue an ongoing hearing for a proposal (Hope - See Page 5)

By Bob Vosseller HOWELL - Floodwater is cascading down into basements and garages of homes on Pine Needle Street, a situation which has led the township to sue its neighbor, Wall Township. Water backing up from sewers is not an uncommon occurrence, according to residents on the street, many of whom have noted thousands of dollars in damages to their homes. A basin, which is part of a 177-home development that is on property previously part of Wall Township, is being blamed for the flooding problem. Flooding conditions are the direct cause of the development according to the lawsuit filed by Howell officials against Wall Township. The litigation was filed in December. “We believe that Howell and its residents were damaged by the actions of others. Although it is never our first choice, we will fight when necessary to protect the citizens of Howell. We are hopeful that the parties will meet in the New Year and focus on an amicable resolution,” Howell Mayor Theresa Berger said. The lawsuit alleges that rain water comes down the hill from Pine View Estates onto Pine Needle Street as well as to residences on Cherry Lane causing homes to flood and roads to close. One particular bad storm in the summer of 2018 caused extensive damage According to the lawsuit, on August 13, 2018, 7.8 inches of water fell within a 24-hour time frame which led to flooding from the basin and Pine View Estates drainage system resulting in flooding to several homes and vehicles on Pine Needle Street and Cherry Lane. The roads were closed for a time until the waters receded. The lawsuit also names as defendants, Howell Properties LLC and Pine View Estates LLC jointly as a developer. Also included is their managing member, the development’s homeowner’s association and Crest Engineering Associates Inc., which is the designer of the basin according to Howell’s complaint. The township is calling for the court to declare Wall and its co-defendants as being responsible for damages to the property of third parties due to the flooding caused, in whole or in part, by (Lawsuit - See Page 4)

the defendants’ improper basin design, construction, maintenance, ownership, control, supervision and inspection of the Pine View Estates Basin and drainage system. Pine View is situated in a section of Howell that lies between Wall and Brick townships. When it was part of Wall it was separated from the rest of the township by wetlands and the Garden State Parkway. To reach it you would need to cross the neighboring communities. Howell Township annexed the land in 2005 in an agreement with Wall Township. That agreement stipulated that Wall was responsible for any defects in construction or complaints regarding the building of homes within the development until the expiration of the two-year maintenance guarantees posted by the developer, the complaint by Howell states. That covers the time period up to March of 2020 according to Howell’s lawsuit. Flooding and drainage issues are something Howell officials have been dealing with since approximately 2003. Howell Township Attorney Joseph Clark said, “We just filed the lawsuit, so the defendants still have several weeks to file an answer. Once they do, we will evaluate their responses and determine our next steps. It is our hope that we are able to amicably resolve this as quickly as possible so that the detention basin issues are properly addressed and Howell residents can rest easier.” The lawsuit has its roots dating back to a tort
claim notice issued around November 1, 2018. Plaintiff Howell sent Wall the tort claim notice regarding the township’s intention to file suit against Wall for the ongoing drainage issues caused by the Pine View Estates Basin and drainage system. Wall Township then contacted First Indemnity, of American Insurance Company, the entity that issued the maintenance bonds for the Pine View Estates project. The company rejected the claims and according to the recently filed lawsuit, Wall neither responded nor pursued legal action to “enforce the terms and conditions of the performance of the maintenance bonds to address the flooding issues and caused by the defective basin and drainage system despite its obligation to do so.” The lawsuit document adds, “wall was grossly negligent in its supervision of the maintenance of the basin and drainage system and its deliberate disregard of the complaints of persons suffering damages.” A member of Crest Engineering Associates, located at 12 Robbins Way, Toms River, who would not disclose their name, said the firm would not comment on the matter. When contacted, the Pine View Estates Howell Homeowners Association, based at 68 Maypink Lane, Howell, also offered no comment concerning the lawsuit. Wall Township is represented by the firm Cleary, Giacobbe, Alfieri and Jacobs which has an office in Matawan. The Howell Times sought comment from the firm about the lawsuit. At press time no response had been received.

Hope:
Continued From Page 1 that involves building 1.2 million square feet of warehouse space on Randolph Road. Members of the board have been listening to testimony about the application since April. The project sparked the formation of a citizens group that has strongly opposed it. The group called Howell for Open Land and Preservation of the Environment, or HOPE is expected to be present at the meeting in force. The project would cause the removal of 100 acres of forest on Randolph and Oak Glen roads and add a two-story office warehouse, eight warehouse/industrial buildings, plus more than 700 parking spots. It would also include 142 trailer parking spots and more than 250 loading spaces and five driveways providing access to the site along Randolph Road. Opponents of the project have loudly voiced their concerns about the amount of added traffic on roads surrounding and leading to and from the proposed site. During a Monmouth County Development Review Committee meeting held in October, the proposal was heard and a proposal was made that included three requirements before the committee would fully hear the project and take any action. During that session the applicant was requested to submit a road improvement plan, as well as a traffic signal plan for the Lakewood-Farmingdale (County Route 547) and Randolph Roads intersection. The plan also needed to provide a left turn lane for traffic turning from Lakewood-Farmingdale Road to Randolph Road, as well as a left turn lane for traffic turning from Randolph Road to Lakewood-Farmingdale Road. The plan needed to indicate existing rightof-way features, required right-of-way acquisition(s), proposed road improvements, required traffic signal equipment, phasing, and a timing directive. It was also required that the applicant update a traffic impact study to reflect timing changes recently implemented at the intersection of County Routes 21/547/549, and revise mitigation to adequately accommodate traffic generated by the proposed development. The Ocean County Planning Board would need to receive the application for its own review and comment on stormwater impact to a bridge located on Brook Road at the boundary between Ocean and Monmouth counties. Traffic Engineer Joseph Fishinger spoke
The Howell Times, January 11, 2020, Page 5 out more recently for those opposing the project testified that traffic counts done at Route 547 were invalid and underestimate the amount of traffic that would be generated were the project approved. Fishinger is a traffic engineer with NV5 of Parsippany. He was questioned during the December 5 Planning Board meeting by Meryl Gonchar Sills, the attorney for the developer of Monmouth Commerce Center. Sills and Adam Faiella of Sills Cummis and Gross, of Newark are representing the applicant. During that meeting Planning Board Chairman Robert Nash said the application was reaching the public comment phase. The applicant is Monmouth Commerce Center LLC and the property owners are Lawrence Katz and Felix Pflaster according to township records. According to township zoning, warehouses are allowed in the special economic development zone in the south-central region of Howell. That region is a 61-square-mile area where approximately 51,000 county residents live. While the project would bring a significant tax ratable to the township and hundreds of jobs, opponents fear that the complex would draw hundreds of tractor trailers daily which would travel several miles around the area’s rural roads toward the highway. Justin Tayler, the applicant’s traffic engineer, previously testified before the Howell Planning Board hearings and presented an animated video his firm produced imagining a drive past the site. The warehouse would exist along Randolph Road, which runs into Route 547. Route 9 is approximately one mile to the west, around four miles south of Route 195, which runs into the New Jersey Turnpike. Township resident Dawn Van Brunt started a Change.org petition against the plan which has around 1,700 signatures as of press time. She noted that a sign her group HOPE erected in the community opposing the project had been vandalized. “I started seeing the over development in Howell. HOPE has around 300 members opposing the massive scope of the project,” she said. “We absolutely remain hopeful that the “powers that be” will see that this project is detrimental to the area for many reasons. “The traffic alone that this project will generate is out of control. That, compounded with the environmental factors, is enough to debilitate the area. We have seen concerns raised by the planning board at each meeting. I truly feel many on the board see this is not good for anyone.” Van Brunt previously said.

County Provides Disaster Ready-Go Bags for Vulnerable Populations for Winter Storms FREEHOLD – Partners of the Monmouth ACTS initiative are working hard to ensure that some of the most vulnerable members of the population – seniors and people with disabilities – are prepared before winter storms hit. A joint partnership between the Monmouth County Aging Disability Resource Connection and the Monmouth County Senior Advisory Council, in partnership with the Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM), has produced and launched new disaster “Ready-Go” Bags, and are providing them to Monmouth County residents free of charge at several sign up events in coastal communities this early winter season. The blue 14” by 18” canvas Ready-Go Bags are designed to empower seniors and people with disabilities to think about what they would need to take at a moment’s notice in a disaster, and gather it in one easy-to-grab bag. The bag contains a list of emergency contacts, medical conditions and a vital documents checklist, as well as a magnifier in case eyeglasses are left behind. There is also information from FEMA that addresses senior, disabled and pet preparedness for, during and after a disaster. Great thought went into the bag’s contents and “purposeful design. It’s sized for people to wear around their bodies like a messenger bag,” explains Sue Moleon, Director, Monmouth County Division on Aging, Disabilities and Veterans Services. “Its adjustable strap accommodates any body size, and it’s comfortable enough to keep on, sleep in and use the facilities.” The bag latches with Velcro, making it secure but still easy to open for seniors, and a label on the front of the bag reads, “In case of emergency, this bag must accompany me to all shelters, hospitals and evacuation sites.” To date, Monmouth County has held five information presentations and distribution events for the Ready-Go bags, with another planned for early January. Currently, the bags are available to seniors in the County’s coastal communities. Seniors receiving the bags must first enroll in the NJ Register Ready program with the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Management, which allows
residents with disabilities or access/functional needs to provide emergency response agencies with information about their circumstances, enabling emergency responders to better serve them during time-sensitive evacuations. With the public and private entities coming together to produce the Ready-Go Bags with the spirit of Monmouth ACTS, the hope is that residents take advantage of the helpful resources offered within the County, before winter storms strike and leave people helpless. A recent study from the University of Michigan Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation found that only 29% of older adults have a prepared emergency kit ready for disaster. Monmouth County Freeholder Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the County’s health and human services departments, said she couldn’t help but remember how many seniors and people with disabilities were left helpless after Hurricane Sandy, which hit Monmouth County seven years ago. “Many of Monmouth County’s 100,000 Sandy evacuees did not have the time to collect their vital documents or organize their medications when the hurricane hit,” Freeholder Kiley says. “These Ready-Go Bags represent a tremendous collaborative effort to prevent that from happening again. It’s a perfect example of what Monmouth ACTS is trying to do – bring government and private organizations together to streamline our work and provide great services for every population of Monmouth County.” Dr. Mary Jane Celli, 85, Long Branch City Council, attended a recent event at the Long Branch Community Center and picked up her Ready-Go Bag. She lives just five blocks from the ocean and remembers the devastation Sandy brought to Monmouth County well, so she plans to put her medications, plenty of water, clothes, emergency contacts and other vital personal items in her bag. “The County has done an excellent job in getting the word out,” Dr. Celli says. “Thank you to the Freeholders and Sheriff for all they’ve done for our citizens.” For information about the Ready-Go Bag for members of coastal communities, call the Office on Aging at 732-431-7450.

Best Quotes Of 2019
Hosted by
Mon-Fri • 8 AM-10 AM 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM
COMMUNITY NEWS By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Throughout the year, our reporters talk to a lot of people. And we listen. Some statements need to be highlighted because they have a lot of truth to them. Here are some quotes that bear repeating:
When long-time administrator Dennis Filippone was retiring, he recalled something one of his mentors said to him. Legendary coach Warren H. Wolf, who would later pass away, had told him “Always look for the best in people, because the worst in them will find you.” “Filippone Retires After 4 Decades In Brick” by Judy Smestad-Nunn (Jan. 12) Freeholder Jack Kelly described his new responsibilities during the re-organization meeting in the beginning of the year after the passing of Freeholder John Bartlett.
“In losing John Bartlett, we all had to take new assignments. The new assignment I got was as chairman of budget and management, which I thought was pretty good. I like that. But you know what I’ve come to find out? I made a whole lot of new friends,” Kelly quipped. “Every department head now calls me Mr. Kelly. They didn’t even know who the hell I was just six months ago, now all know who I am, which is nice to see.” “Freeholders Reconvene For 2019, Remember Freeholder Bartlett” by Jennifer Peacock (Jan. 12) Preventing cyberbullying was an issue that parents had to take a lesson on. Detective David Brubaker of the High Tech Crimes Unit Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office presented an Internet Safety Forum at Brick Memorial High School. “Your kids are pack animals, and they always find the weak link, or the outsider.” “Parents Are The Front Line Of Internet Safety” by Judy Smestad-Nunn (Feb. 2) “The problems of homelessness are much larger than just not having a home,” Toms River business administrator Don Guardian said in reference to services being offered to homeless people at the Code Blue temporary shelters. “Temporary Shelter To Save Homeless From Freezing Weather” by Chris Lundy (Jan. 12) “A business doesn’t last because of the product but because of the service,” Frank Gustafson said about the closing of his store, Jackson Hobby Shop, which lasted for 50 years. “Hobby Shop Closes After Half A Century” by Bob Vosseller (Jan. 26) Several key quotes came from issues of inequality. “We also celebrate the 90th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr…we need to bear witness to his dreams and his hopes for this country, because they seem to have gotten lost somewhere along the way,” said Joan Marie Slater, former advisor for Manchester Schools. “When we got to the airport, we heard a rumor that there was a bomb on the airplane, so we got concerned and we all wrote out our wills,” Reisa Sweet said, remembering taking a flight to Selma, Alabama to take part in a march with Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr. “Gospel Choir Sings Praise for 50 Years and Dr. King” By Kimberly Bosco (Jan. 26) “It is a very good website…for 1980s Russia,” Rina Yakubovsky joked, comparing some of the comments on a Facebook page to things she’s heard growing up in Russia. Her family moved here to get away from anti-Semitism. Moving to Jackson, she was mostly protected from that until recently. “Things were going pretty great for 30 years, then it was like déjà vu but not the good kind.” “Is everything perfect in their community? No. Is everything perfect in ours? No,” Toms River resident Judy Fuentes said about the differences between the Orthodox Jewish (Quotes - See Page 11)

Quotes:
Continued From Page 10 community and other communities. “Toms River Condemns Hate Websites” by Chris Lundy (March 9) Times are changing, and words that describe how the world around us is changing tend to hit home. “My mother always said she moved from the country to the city without leaving her house,” retiring zoning officer Sean Kinnevy said, describing how Brick changed over the decades. “Towns weren’t thinking about crime, traffic, overcrowding and pollution. There was nothing here. No water or sewer lines. There were dirt roads, and Brick had no police department or high school. We had general stores with post office boxes, diners and gas stations. We had all the problems of a city but none of the advantages.” Retiring Zoning Officer Looks Back On Brick’s Growth” by Judy Smestad-Nunn (Feb. 9) “At any time, our buildings have at least one gun in it. Sometimes two. Sometimes three. It sounds harsh but it’s a reality,” Toms River Superintendent David Healy said about increases in school security. “Parents want to know ‘If someone comes in to hurt our kids, will there be someone there who can stop them with lethal force?’” “Schools Increased Security In Year Since
The Howell Times, January 11, 2020, Page 11 Parkland” By Chris Lundy, Jennifer Peacock, and Kimberly Bosco (Feb. 26) Some quotes sum up just how bad something is, spurring people to help. “I went to check on my house damage from the fire and I saw Jackie (the renter) in the burnt out house after the fireman put the fire out,” said Keith Kirsch, who started a GoFundMe for a neighbor whose house was destroyed by fire (gofundme.com/jacqueline-niederle). “She was sifting through the burnt rubble to find any personal belongings with a plastic beach shovel.” “Fundraiser To Help Holgate Fire Victim Back On Her Feet” by Kimberly Bosco (Feb. 16) Sometimes government gets in the way of doing business. Seyithan Tektas from Yesterdays and Todays Consignment complained about the state’s delay in fixing his road. “The town blames the state, the state blames the contractors but the contractors get paid no matter what.” “An ‘Early Spring’ Completion For Routes 166 and 37 Intersection?” By Chris Lundy (March 23) And finally, a quote that we can all relate to: “I don’t make a pig out of myself, but I do like my ice cream,” Marie T. Savignano said with a smile, describing her habits that helped her get to the age of 101. Toms River Woman Teaches “Intro To A Long Life 101” By Patricia A. Miller (Feb. 9)
Ghosts Of Elections Past: What Are These Signs Still Doing Here?
-Photo by Jason Allentoff Some election signs are still lingering in the area. By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – It’s been about two months since Election Day 2019 and the essence of those election campaigns is still lingering throughout the county…literally. Maybe you’re on your morning commute to work, driving through your local neighborhood, or heading out to do some shopping when you see it: an election campaign sign still hanging on. You’re not the only one. Micromedia Publications even has one near our Lakehurst office, calling for voters to choose McGuckin & Catalano for New Jersey’s 10th legislative district. Which they did…on November 5. So why are these signs still standing so many weeks after elections? Who is responsible for them? According to Kevin Enright of the Ocean County Board of Elections, the candidates or assigned groups who placed the signs are also responsible for their removal. In Micromedia’s case, considering that NJ’s 10th district is comprised of Bay Head, Brick,
Island Heights, Lakehurst, Lavallette, Manchester, Mantoloking, Pt. Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights and Toms River in Ocean County, it might be safe to assume that McGuckin has had some help placing those signs. Tom Bonfonti, Executive Director for the Ocean County GOP, told Jersey Shore Online that the majority of election campaign signs you see are put up with help from the community. “The process of putting up lawn signs is a rather simple one. The significant majority of the lawn signs are put up with the assistance of folks in the local community. Those signs are all also taken down after Election Day by those same people,” Bonfonti explained. Essentially, if you put a sign up, you take it down. That is also a good way of keeping a record of where signs are located, through the accountability of the public. However, not everyone or every group follows through with that, as evidenced by leftover signs. Bonfonti added that, “Outside of that process, volunteers and supporters will often ask for signs. When a volunteer takes a sign they will most likely be placing it on their own lawn. Sometimes, those volunteers put them up in public and do not inform us.” This is likely the case with the signs still lingering, he said. And that goes for any campaigns that were part of this recent election. “We advise everyone to take down their signs after Election Day. We also ask the folks who help us put them out originally to take down signs of ours (even if they did not place them originally) if they see them when they are out and in the community,” said Bonfonti. Moral of the story: if you see a lingering sign, grab it and recycle it.

SAME DAY EMERGENCY VISITS
County Clerk Attends Elections Battle Staff Training Event SPRINGFIELD, VA – Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon traveled to Springfield, Virginia on December 16 to attend an Elections Battle Staff Training Event hosted by Harvard University’s Defending Digital Democracy Project (D3P). The Defending Digital Democracy (D3P) Project is a bipartisan initiative launched by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School to identify and to create strategies and technology to protect the integrity of the election system in the United States. The Election Battle Staff Training Event was designed to provide senior government election officials with tips and tools to fortify their election systems against cyber-attacks and to improve overall election operations. The term “battle staff” refers to the military headquarters element activated to support ongoing operations across multiple levels of organization. During the training exercise, officials attended lectures and participated in exercises to identify strategies that will ultimately optimize their elections related decision-making, situational awareness, and incident tracking and response. Clerk Hanlon joined the Director of the State Division of Elections, Bob Giles, and other election officials from throughout New Jersey, as well as fellow County Clerks from Mercer County, Paula Sollami-Covello, and Somerset County, Steve Peter. “The D3P Elections Battle Staff Training was a great opportunity to connect with fellow Election Officials and to learn from the experts about ways to improve our election protocol,” said Clerk Hanlon. “The event provided the knowledge to build a thorough communications plan and to better prepare for high-stakes and complex situations.” “Ensuring election security is a top priority for the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office and we are actively working with the State of New Jersey and fellow Monmouth County election offices to further defend our elections systems against cyber threats and other incidents,” said Clerk Hanlon. For questions about Clerk Hanlon’s attendance at the Elections Battle Staff Training Event, please call 732-431-7324, ext. 8735 or email CountyClerk@co.monmouth.nj.us.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Lettuce Alternatives By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
At this point, you should probably just throw out all your lettuce. It doesn’t matter if it came from Salinas, California because other states may be involved now. There have been over 100 reported cases across 23 states at the time of this writing. There is an official recall. I’m not being an alarmist, Just the other day, we were told to trash those convenient bagged salad ‘kits’ because there are various types of lettuce in there, and some bags might have the contaminated E. coli leaves in it. The warning to consumers was about the brand called, Fresh Express Sunflower Crisp Chopped Salad Kits.” Just days after that urgent concern, the FDA has announced it is looking into several other E. coli outbreaks linked to lettuce grown from other states. There are multiple strains of pathogens and once infected, symptoms can show up between 1 day and a week later! One quick thing, if you are supported on warfarin or other anticoagulants, please be aware that all salad greens are high in Vitamin K (some more than others), so do not change your diet without your doctor’s approval and supervision. Here are some lettuce alternatives for those of you who wish to avoid Romaine and other lettuces: Rainbow or Swiss chard. These have broad green leaves attached to a bright crimson red stalk. The red in the leaves and stalk is due to the natural dye “betalain” which is used for liver health. If you’ve ever cooked chard, you know this shrinks to nothing! You can fill a
giant 16 quart pot with these, and by the time you’ve steamed it over five minutes, you’ll end up with a spoonful! I once bought 6 of these at once, and when I checked out at the supermarket, the cashier sarcastically asked me if I was going to eat all that myself. Without batting an eye, I quipped, “No I have a horse to feed!” Spinach. Like all leafy greens, spinach is high in fiber and promotes regularity. It contains oxalates, and it is very rich in potassium which regulates blood pressure. Radicchio. Radicchio is a small, round reddish-purple sphere and pairs well with greens in a salad. It’s way tastier than red cabbage. Add radicchio to your salad because it is high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K and other micronutrients. Mustard Greens. Taste this green before chopping it into your salad, because most people have to acquire the taste! I must be weird, I don’t mind eating it raw. If you lightly steam or Blanche it, you will reduce the bitterness. This popular plant gives us mustard seeds, which can be turned into one of our favorite condiments! Watercress. Very versatile and contains over 50 vitamins and minerals. Scientific data shows this can help prevent DNA cellular damage and in that regard, perhaps slow the development of cancer. Sometimes people worry about the goitrogenic effect on iodine absorption, and subsequent production of thyroid hormone, but I think a little watercress is just fine.

Howell Alliance Seeks To End Vaping In Township Schools
By Bob Vosseller HOWELL –The township’s Municipal Alliance wants to educate the local community on the risks of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) and vape use. Last month, the Alliance hung its latest prevention banner at town hall and Howell High School—“Vaping: Don’t Get Sucked In”— to increase public education and
awareness about the dangers of electronic cigarettes and vaping. Planning ahead, ,” Alliance Coordinator Christa Riddle announced “on February 13, 2020 at 6:30 p.m., the Howell Township Municipal Alliance will host a community presentation on vaping, “What You Know, What You Need to Know,” presented by vaping and prevention expert Nicki Fran-
cis of Wellspring Center for Prevention.” The location for the event has not yet been determined. Riddle said “through the end of November, approximately 2,300 cases of e-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury (EVALI) have been reported in 49 states, D.C., and one U.S. territory. About 50 have resulted in deaths, including one in New
Jersey.” EVALI patients have a median age of 45 years; 79% are under age 35 and half of the total EVALI reported cases and two of the EVALI deaths involved patients under age 25. “Affected EVALI patients have presented a variety of symptoms, including coughing, pleuritic chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, fever, chills, headaches, nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, and diarrhea. Patients under investigation have been hospitalized due to a need for respiratory support and ventilation,” Riddle said. Riddle added, “vaping products with THC have been prevalent in the reported cases of EVALI, but to date, no one compound or ingredient has been identified as the exact cause of the illness. Further investigations are being conducted. The ingredient vitamin E acetate is another focus of concern.” The Alliance’s aim is to promote awareness about the issue as many youth and adults are unaware of the high nicotine potency delivered by e-cigarettes, and refillable vaping devices allow for customizable nicotine levels that are not regulated. “A single Juul pod houses the same amount of nicotine as a pack of traditional cigarettes; some youth smoke three to four pods in a day, spiking nicotine addiction that is difficult to stop. The nicotine consumption can cause permanent lung damage, affect brain development, and lead to smoking traditional cigarettes,” Riddle said. Beyond nicotine, e-cigarette “juices,” or liquids, and their vapors contain a host of harmful and unregulated chemicals, including diacetyl, formaldehyde, heavy metals, oils, and volatile organic compounds that can cause permanent lung damage and cancer. “While it is illegal to sell smoking products, including e-cigarettes and vaping devices, to minors under the age of 21 in New Jersey, it is not illegal for youth under 21 to possess them, which is why parental education and a zero-tolerance for youth e-cigarette use is a necessary component in battling the youth vaping epidemic,” Riddle added.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 11 - jan 17
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): An abundance of physical energy and high spirits makes your popularity rise to new heights. Your efforts will be rewarded in the week ahead with admiration as well as a bigger bank balance or unexpected bonus. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be called upon to volunteer time to a worthy cause or participate in a public event. In the week ahead, you can expand your network of friends by joining groups that gather for a worthwhile purpose. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on being friendly and outgoing in the week ahead. Loved ones and friends have been tolerant of your occasional rants and raves in the past but may need you to become more open-minded and obliging. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Getting out and about is the best prescription for cabin fever. A trip to the newest market or even some online shopping may satisfy your wanderlust this week. A partner will appreciate any steps you take to save money. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can smile even when you are filled with grit and determination. In the week ahead you may become fixated on solving problems and fixing failures. You can easily switch gears to enjoy carefree time with loved ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thinking outside the box may be your specialty as this week begins. Putting your creative genius to practical use, however, may require a great deal more effort than anticipated. Ask for help and you’ll likely receive it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Hang out with people who promote positivity. In the week
to come, you may meet people who inspire you to adjust your outlook on life in uplifting ways. You may feel more attractive or receive unexpected admiration. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Respect the rights of others who wish to act independently, and they will respect your rights in return. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to exchange affectionate sweet nothings with a romantic partner in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your enthusiasm, productivity and dedication to living up to your commitments could be more noticeable in the upcoming week. Keep a pen handy to jot down notes, as some of your ideas could be revolutionary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Brotherly love could bubble up from your heart and overpower a tendency to be businesslike. Speaking your mind on certain issues can win you friends if you exercise diplomacy, discretion and tact as this week unfolds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make a decision before your plans are hijacked by someone else. In the coming week you can be more resolute and aggressive when faced with choices. Act in your own best interest without taking advantage of others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your ability to make money may improve during the week ahead if you tap into energetic impulses. Distribute free samples of your products or show generosity toward others to win favorable attention and spread goodwill.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fortify Yourself During Winter With This Easy Garlic Soup Recipe By Wolfgang Puck CREAM OF GARLIC SOUP Serves 6 For the soup: 2 cups (500 ml) peeled garlic cloves 1 large baking potato, about 3/4 pound (375 g), peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes 2 cups (500 mL) super-quick rich chicken stock (recipe follows) or good-quality canned chicken or vegetable stock or broth Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream Chopped chives (optional garnish) For the basil oil: 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh basil leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh Italian parsley leaves 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil First, blanch the garlic: Put the garlic cloves in a medium saucepan and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain well. Return the garlic cloves to the pan, add the potatoes and stock, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to piece easily with a fork or sharp knife tip, about 20 minutes. Pour in the cream. Over medium heat, bring back to a gentle boil.
Meanwhile, prepare the basil oil: Put the basil, parsley, and oil in a blender and blend until smoothly pureed. Pour through a fine-meshed strainer into a glass bowl; set aside. Rinse out the blender thoroughly. Working in batches if necessary to avoid overfilling, transfer the soup to the blender and blend until smoothly pureed, carefully following the manufacturer’s instruction to avoid spattering. Transfer the soup to a clean saucepan and gentle rewarm over low heat, adjusting the seasonings to taste. To serve, ladle the soup into heated bowls. Drizzle with a small spoonful of basil oil, refrigerating the remainder in an airtight container. You can also garnish with chopped chives, if you wish. SUPER-QUICK RICH CHICKEN STOCK Makes about 3 quarts (3 L) 3 quarts (3 L) low-sodium store-bought chicken stock or broth 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and cut into chunks 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into chunks 1 medium celery stalk, trimmed and cut into chunks 1 sprig fresh thyme 1/2 bay leaf 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 1 medium leek, trimmed, halved lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed, and cut into chunks In a small stockpot or large saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming frequently. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 30 minutes. Strain before use.
