Memorial Day Service Draws Larger Crowd Than Normal

COVID Economic Taskforce Created; Method Debated

By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – Township Veterans Of Foreign Wars Post 9691 Commander Frank Longo was saddened earlier this month noting that

the usual Memorial Day service in the township would have to be cancelled due to the current COVID-19 conditions. That decision however was reversed by

Deputy Mayor Evelynn O’Donnell whose strong family ties to those in the military, prompted the suggestion of a live service but handled in a social

distancing fashion. “She got in touch with me and said we should do something,” Longo added and with a few phone calls the event (Memorial - See Page 4)

Towns Save Money On Snow-Less Season

By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – The sun was shining. T he sk y was clear. Temperatures were up in the 70s. No, this wasn’t Memorial Day weekend. This happened in February. People f looded the parks and playgrounds – back when they were all open – enjoying the

unseasonably war m weather. This past winter was unusual in that there wasn’t much snow. Schools, for example, didn’t have a single snow day. That doesn’t mean that there weren’t some cold days. Before Mother’s Day weekend, for example, there were snow

predictions that didn’t come to fruition. There were a few spring days when the homeless shelters were open because the temperature was expected to drop to freezing overnight. But – and this is not to jinx us for next year – if it was cold, it didn’t connect with precipitation.

The end result was a savings for nearby municipalities. Every town budgets a certain amount of money expecting to use it for snow removal. But none of the nearby towns spent significant amounts recently. Some towns are using these savings as a buffer for the revenue lost

due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since people out of work are having trouble paying their taxes. Jersey Shore Online reached out to several large towns and learned that the amount of money they spent on snow removal has decreased over the last few years. (Snow - See Page 4)

By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – The formation of a township economic taskforce to address coronavirus impacts on local businesses prompted some strong discussion about how agenda item additions should be handled. Council members debated about how and when a last-minute agenda item would be placed on their agenda during a recent council meeting. The crux of the debate was whether residents would have a chance to learn about what was being discussed at the meeting ahead of time. A resident commented that “add-ons were tough enough for residents to keep up on and a case where an item was added to the agenda but the resolution that it pertained to was not.” Mayor Theresa Berger said she did not want to see items added to the agenda on the day of the meeting. “If we get an agenda on Friday, unless it is an emergency, we shouldn’t change the agenda.” The mayor asked, “can we make a rule that we just don’t change the agenda? If it is not in by Monday then you don’t change it. If it is urgent, absolutely. I am speaking in general terms.” Township Manager Brian Geoghegan cited one instance where a department head had suggested an item be added to the council agenda but “was told no for that reason.” “I’m just requesting that we have some kind of a process in place that unless it is urgent or an emergency it should not go on the agenda the same day. I don’t see the need for that,” the mayor added. “We’re operating under a crisis right now. I don’t think it is unreasonable to add on an economic recovery tasks force,” Councilman Thomas Russo said in reference to the item that prompted the discussion. “I said it had nothing to do with that specific item,” the mayor said. Council members also discussed whether this also included proclamations, some of (Taskforce - See Page 2)

Taskforce:

Continued From Page 1 which were added to the May 5 meeting agenda. “These are proclamations,” the mayor said distinguishing them from actual business items of the agenda. “I think we are entitled to use our d iscret ion,” Cou ncilwoma n Pa mela Richmond said. “I always make the stink on this,” Councilman John Bonevich said. “Yes, you do,” Richmond added with a chuckle. “I think we are entitled to use our discretion whether it is a proclamation or a business item.” “I disagree,” the mayor added. “I don’t think the mayor is saying this is particular to Tommy’s item this time. This is the fourth or fifth time probably,” Bonevich said. “We are in a crisis and that was for business and that matters to me but going forward let’s not do this.” “Unless it is an emergency I agree,” Russo added. “To be fair there are things that come

up last minute and if it’s not urgent we need to use our discretion and hold off on it, I agree,” Richmond said. Deputy Mayor Evelyn O’Donnell said “months and months ago I had asked that we provide an agenda in a timely fashion for the public and we started to and we began posting it on Friday. There was concern from the public, a couple people specifically but we addressed it and now we do it several days before a meeting.” The deputy mayor added, “I understand emergencies. I understand trying to be as clear as we can for the public. It is unfortunate in this case that the business task force clearly is needed but unfortunately it also gives the f lavor of, ‘once again they are adding something.’” The deputy mayor expressed her view that “we fell short on the deadline for this particular committee but I’m not taking away from the true grit of the need, certainly having (the township) Chamber (of Commerce) in on this is an absolute must as it brings another viewpoint for those who may not be a member of the Chamber can appreciate.” Russo explai ned t he poi nt of t he taskforce saying, it would tackle the economic issues that have come up due to COVID. He added that he hoped the taskforce “will only be necessary for a couple of months.” Ultimately, the task force was created. A question from a resident also brought up that January 2016 was the last annual report also known as the State of The Township Report issued from the Township Manager’s office. It was noted that such a report was required under the Faulkner Act and that as Geoghegan was celebrating his third year in the township manager’s position that it was past due. Prior replies to this inquiry stated that it was considered as the budget report. The resident disagreed with that answer suggesting it might run contrary to the state statute. “As I’ve said several times when this has been brought up yes it is in conjunction with the budget because it is a designated time every year but I also prepare a monthly report to the entire governing body that is very detailed on every department and I’ve asked if there is anything they need to let me know,” Geoghegan said. He added, “to date I have not gotten anything so I’ve gotten the impression the governing body is okay with the information that has been provided.” The mayor asked about the monthly report that he sends to the governing body “is that only for our eyes? I’m not sure what they are looking for beyond those monthly reports and the budget.” “Nor am I,” Geoghegan said adding that he only sends the reports to the governing body. As the reports are available through an OPRA (Open Public Meeting Act) request the mayor suggested, “if they are really interested in what is in those reports they can put in an OPRA request as they always do.”

Snow:

Continued From Page 1 Berkeley Township spent $435,592.76 from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. Compare that to the $12,753.34 from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. From July 1, 2019 until March of 2020 it spent zero. Berkeley’s Chief Financial Oﬃcer Fred Ebenau said that the money, if unused, can be moved to surplus or put into a reserve to use for future storms. It can also be transferred to other line items that need to be funded. In Toms River, they spent $944,415.96 from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. That million dollars dropped to $187,912.66 for the period of time from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. From July 1, 2019 until March of 2020 it spent zero. There are options on what to do with the unspent money, Toms River Business Administrator Don Guardian said. They can transfer it to surplus for the current year, or the next; they can transfer it to other line items; or they can “charge off ” funding to the Storm Recovery Trust Reserve located in the Trust fund. Funding here accumulates from year to year and can be utilized to help offset costs associated with storms or other declared disasters. The township budgets approximately $400,000 annually for costs directly related to snow storms. “In the past we have both cancelled balances and charged off to the trust reserve,” he said.

Howell told a similar tale, except they actually had some snowfall this season. They spent $808,020.71 from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. This dipped to $314,707.27 for the period of time from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. From July 1, 2019 until March of 2020 it spent $11,451.98. Why has the amount that the township spends on snow removal gone down every year? Is it climate change? Or was it that the towns got lucky with how the storms played out? A large storm could easily cost $300,000 in snow removal in a big town, but if the temperature wasn’t cold enough, that blizzard becomes just a really rainy day. Also, many towns won’t send the plows out for a light snowfall – less than an inch - on a weekend. Does the lower cost of snow removal suggest that the area is getting warmer? Sarah Johnson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said it’s hard to say that it’s climate change. Climate change is more something that happens on a global scale over a period of decades. Therefore, it’s diﬃcult to classify something that happens in a small area for just a few seasons as climate change. There are other factors at work. The storm track kept storms to the north and west of our area. “We stayed in relatively warmer conditions for most of the winter.” Other places, like northern Maine, received well above normal snowfall for a season.

Continued From Page 1 began being organized. More than 30 people showed up at the township’s old town hall off Preventorium Road. Wearing masks, the mayor, deputy mayor, members of council, VFW members, police, firefighters and other residents came together to take part in the solemn ceremony. The brief service noted respect and honor for those who paid the greatest price in the fight for the nation’s freedom. One resident wore a T-shirt which had writing on the back that stated “Honor the Fallen, Thank the Living.” “Thank you all for coming out,” Longo said. He was joined by fellow members Ben Novick, a past commander of the post and Egivio Lurito at the monument where they planted a flag and saluted in honor of American service members lost in war and conflict. Members of the Farmingdale-Howell American Legion Post 178 were also present at the outdoor ceremony. O’Donnell said “we are honoring not only the people we lost who were part of the draft but those who joined and loved their country. They loved their country above their family. They loved their country and what it means to everyone because it is greater than themselves.” “It occurred to me that when my son left for Afghanistan for his sixth time he gave me this flag and when I think back on it, it is nice to have this flag and I would wear the flag pin and remember him. But when I really think about all of this, it occurred to me that he didn’t leave me with his picture, he left me with a symbol of the country that he chose to

represent,” the deputy mayor added. “When he joined there was no war and by the time he left 15 years later, he had served nine times in an active war and I am very proud of him and thankful he came home. I realized he had learned to love the country greater than himself,” the deputy mayor added. “Remember what we have, who fought for our freedoms and why we have them today and why we really need to continue to serve in a way in our communities to protect our freedoms,” O’Donnell said. Councilwoman Pamela Richmond said, “I want to thank everyone for coming because it was short notice. I want to thank the deputy mayor because it was her idea to work with the commander and to put this together. This is the biggest crowd we’ve had in the last three years.” “Be well be safe and remember those we honor today as we spend time with our families,” Richmond added. Councilman Thomas Russo said “that Memorial Day is the day we honor those who lost their lives serving their country. I would like to extend that honor to family members who lost a loved one. When you lose a loved one a piece of yourself also perishes.” “I want to extend that honor and I’d like to thank you to the police and our VFW for all you do. We really appreciate it and thank you all for being here,” Russo added. “We want to honor all those who we lost in the service of our country and their families. We want to thank them for the freedoms we enjoy today,” Mayor Theresa Berger said. “This crowd is unbelievable with this virus going around,” Longo said. “We hope to see this many people on Veterans Day.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER A Scammer Called; Here’s What They Said Recently I received a very disturbing call from a scam artist. I only answered the call because it said “No Caller ID” and a certain department at Deborah Hospital has called me a few times this way. (Please Note: I am not suggesting that Deborah had anything to do with the subsequent scam! I am only explaining now why I even answered a call that displayed the words “No Caller ID” in the first place. More on Deborah later.) Anyway, the scam artist verified my name and said my daughter was in a very serious auto accident. My heart started pounding as he said she was okay, but she admitted fault and could possibly go to jail because the other party was seriously injured. At that point my head took over from my pounding heart and I began to ask the man questions which betrayed my suspicions and skepticism. My blood pressure seemed to drop each time the scammer answered a question which proved he was lying. When it became totally, irrefutably obvious that he was scamming me, my heart started pounding again and I used some words which I’m not proud of, sinful words which I’ve confessed to the Lord, to tell him off. My daughter is totally okay and never had an accident, of course, and I’m sure that somewhere in this scam the caller was going to ask me for money to help my daughter. (What I am NOT sure of is why the caller targeted me in the first place...perhaps because I’m a senior living in Whiting, and he thought I’d be easy prey.) This scam is despicable. I thought of alerting our excellent

police department about it but A.) I’m sure they’re aware of it, B.) There’s not much they can do about the situation, as the perp hides behind a phone number which cannot be called back (I tried.) And, C.) They have other things to focus on. So, I thought it might be helpful to area seniors if I shared my experience here in your fine newspaper. Beware of scammers! As for Deborah, again, they had nothing to do with the potential scam, but if they didn’t inexplicably have a number which read “No Caller ID” I would never have taken this call to begin with. Who has ever heard of a hospital that has a number with “No Caller ID”? Not me. I answered the scam call thinking that maybe they (Deborah) was calling to reschedule my appointment from June up to May, now that the Governor seems to be relaxing restrictions a bit. Perhaps Deborah should re-think their “No Caller ID” number because a lot of seniors use Deborah and it could leave an opening for scam artists to call and get a “live” audience. After all, these kinds of “heart tests” like the one I got are certainly NOT the kind that they want to be associated with, I’m sure! On some calls, my caller ID says “Potential Spam” and I immediately decline those. Maybe Verizon can come up with a “Potential SCAM” warning? But it would help greatly if every legitimate institution refrained from having a department with “No Caller ID” so that scammers can’t exploit an opening to gain a hearing. Chet Jelinski Whiting

Letters To The Editor

Remember All The Heroes This Memorial Day In Faraway Lands And Your Own Town Ever y cr isis has new heroes. During the 9/11 at t ack s, t hey were t he first responders running into burning and crumbling buildings as others ran out. Now, during the coronavirus pandemic, the most visible heroes are the health care professionals, who are saving others and risking their own lives while doing so. These heroes have much in common with the people that we honor today – America’s fallen veterans. They are men and women who have sacrificed their own lives so others could live. They are both elite and ordinar y. They are elite in the sense of character. Giving you r life so others could live is the ultimate definition of selfless. They are ordinary in the fact that they represent the diverse fabric of our country. They are rich and poor, bla ck a nd wh it e, male and female. They come from every ethnicity and background. In short, they looked like anyone of us. A s we c elebr at e t he selfless and untiring performances of the healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, it brings to mind the military medics, doctors and nurses who sacrificed their lives while treating others on the battlefield. One such hero was Pharmacist Mate Third Class Jack Williams. The Navy Reser ve cor psman was only 20 years old when he landed on Iwo Jima 75 years ago. On March 3, 1945, James Naughton, a Mar ine in Wi l l i a m s’ u n it , wa s wounded by a grenade. While under intense enemy fire, Williams dragged Naughton to a shallow depression and treated his wounds. Williams used his own body as a screen and was shot four times. Yet he continued.

After he treated Naughton, Williams dressed his own wounds. He then proceeded to treat another Marine, despite his own immense pain. While heading to the rear, he was hit by a sniper’s bullet and killed. For his actions, Petty Officer Williams was awarded the Medal of Honor. We also remember Army veterans like Lieutenant Sharon Lane. According to her biographer, Philip Bigler, Lt. Lane threw herself into her work as a nurse. While serving in Colorado, she requested a t ransfer to Vietnam. “There, at least, you are busy 12 hours a day, six or seven days a week,” she said in a 1968 letter to her parents. Her dedication was obvious, even as she treated enemy Viet Cong soldiers who would return the favor by kicking, cursing and spitting at their American captors. In the early morning of Ju ne 8, 1969, Sharon’s t ou r of dut y e nde d. A Soviet-built rocket struck the hospital. Lieutenant Sharon A. Lane was killed in action at age 25. If she were still here, her skills as a nurse might still be benefiting us during the current crisis. But not all of the heroes working during the COVID-19 pandemic are in the healthcare industr y. Grocers, first responders, delivery workers and drive-through restaurant employees are just a few of the many people that we rely on to provide vital services for society while risking their own safety. The military also has heroes in every occupational field. Truck drivers, cooks and administrative clerks have all paid the ultimate price. At sea, on land or in the air – military service requires great risk. Roy Knight, Jr. was a

pilot in the U.S. Air Force. On May 19, 1967, he was shot down while attacking a target on the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos. He was posthumously promoted to colonel. Last year, a joint team from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency discovered and later identified Col. Knight’s remains. When his remains arrived at Dallas’s Love Field, a crowd had gathered to witness the dignified transfer of the flag-draped casket from the Southwest Airlines jet into the receptive arms of the military honor guard. One observer reported that the entire crowd fell silent. The Southwest f light was piloted by another Air Force veteran, Col. Knight’s son, Bryan. Bryan Knight was only fiveyears-old when he said goodbye to his father as the elder Knight left for Vietnam. This is yet another legacy that these heroes leave behind. A legacy that includes their sons, daughter s, g r iev i ng pa rent s, grandparents and friends. Their heroic acts are sometimes performed to protect those with whom they serve. Corporal Jason Dunham was a squad leader with the Third Batt al ion , 7t h Ma r i nes i n Iraq. On April 14, 2004, his squad approached a Toyota Land Cruiser. After his squad discovered AK-47s in the vehicle, the enemy insurgent exited and engaged in hand-to-hand fighting with the unit. The driver dropped a grenade. To save his fellow Marines, Corporal Dunham made the ultimate sacrifice. He threw himself on the grenade and tried to use his helmet to shield the blast. Severely wounded by t he g rena de’s f r agments, Cpl. Dunham was taken off life-support eight

days later. Corporal Dunham died so other Marines could live. He, too, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his gallantry. Approximately one million men and women of the U.S. military have lost their lives in defense of our nation since the founding of this great Republic. Not all have died from enemy fire. Some have died from diseases that have too often festered around war zones. Often times, deaths from disease and accidents outnumbered casualties caused by enemy weapons. D u r i n g t h e Sp a n i s h A mer ican War, 60 soldiers of the all-black 24th Infantry Regiment volunteered to serve as nurses. Thirty-six of them would later die of yellow fever or malaria. A generation later, the flu would kill nearly 16,000 U.S. soldiers in France during World War I. Another 30,000 American servicemembers died in stateside camps. These men a nd women could have isolated safely in t hei r home s. But t hey knew they had an important job to do. A mission to accomplish. They were all on a mission to serve. Eve n whe n t he e ne my is an invisible virus or a microscopic ger m, the sacrif ices made are just as meaningful. The U.S. military has already lost ser vicemembers to COVID-19. This Memorial Day as we continue to honor those who fell for us in battle, let’s also pause to remember those who have also sacrificed their lives while serving others. May God bless them and may God bless you for remembering them here today. Thank you. The American Legion National Headquarters

Howell School System Coping With Pandemic Condition Guidelines For Learning

By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – Like all school districts across the state and many others in the country Howell’s kindergarten thru 8th grade school system is dealing with the closure of its school buildings and its teachers are instructing their students remotely. “These are very different times for all of us; Boards of Educations, Administrations, and Trenton too,” School Board President Mark Bonjavanni said this week. Bonjavanni was referencing the current COVID-19 pandemic which has made life for everyone vastly different since mid-March. “Clearly this is an unusual time but it is going on around the country. Our prayers go out to those who have been affected by it in many ways be it by employment or their health,” Bonjavanni said. Superintendent Joseph Isola said during the School Board’s last meeting held on March 20 that food service to those students in need continues. “We are serving meals at four school locations with curb side service.” Isola reviewed how the school district was doing during this unique period of time saying that, “we remain incredibly proud of the work that administration and staff is doing to provide the best possible remote learning environment for our students.” “No question, it is different, and remote can never replace face to face, being there with the students but through the different tools available, the teachers have, and will continue, to provide the best education that these times

allow,” Bonjavanni said. “I would be remiss if I did not mention and thank the parents, who are often working through this process with their children. Teachers remain engaged daily, and are available to answer any questions from students,” the school board president said. On April 7, Gov. Phil Murphy was asked during his daily press conference concerning the state’s COVID-19 status, about graduations that would normally take place in June. The governor’s response was “I wouldn’t put down any deposits on any late May, early June celebrations. Bonjavanni said regarding graduations and whether the school year will remain on a homebound self-instruction status, “as to the question about end of year; we understandably reserve the right to have that determined as per the restrictions placed upon us by the governor; and the safety of children and staff will always be a primary concern.” Since that time New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania governors have made the decision for all school districts in those states to remain on remote learning status through the end of the school year. New Jersey is expected to do so as well. Howell is a kindergarten thru 8th grade school district. Its high school students attend the Freehold Regional High School District. Members of the board’s finance committee worked to prepare the budget noting that state aid figures may change due to the state’s budget and the impacts of the pandemic.

By Bob Vosseller FREEHOLD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Howell man who worked for a Wall based construction company for 25 years has been charged with embezzling over $660,000 from the company over a two-year period. Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni repor ted that Kenneth Schwarz, 69, was the chief f inancial off icer at the constr uction company before he was charged with second degree theft and fourth degree falsifying records. The charges stem from a joint investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and Wall Township

Police Department. That investigation determined that, between January 2016 and December 2018, Schwarz embezzled over $660,000 by depositing checks from the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account into his personal bank account and concealed the theft by falsifying the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s records. Schwarz faces up to 10 years in a state prison if convicted of the second-degree offense. He would also face 18 months in state prison for the fourth-degree offense if convicted. His case is assigned to Monmouth County Assistant Prosecutor Joshua D. Detzky.

At approximately 3:30 p.m. on May 22, Howell Police Communications received multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting a disturbance at a residence on Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner Road in the Ramtown section of the township. Upon their arrival, oďŹ&#x192;cers met a female who displayed signs of a violent assault. Her clothing was torn, she was bleeding and held ice to her face. The woman works as a nurse at Monmouth Medical Center - Kimball in Lakewood. She stated the suspect was a patient she had seen the previous night. She provided a description of the subject which was circulated by police within minutes and Township Police Sgt. Nicholas Bondarew was able to locate the suspect. The suspect, 37-year old Leonardo Larrarte, was taken into custody without resistance after leaving the scene. The victim explained she heard a knocking on the door. As she went downstairs, her 64-year-old mother had already let the suspect inside. The victim immediately noticed it was a male she had admitted the previous evening and demanded that he leave. Larrate refused and he proceeded to assault the nurseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother then went after the her. Meanwhile a friend of the nurse who was upstairs heard the assault and called 9-1-1 but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the house number. Township police were patrolling in the area where the cell call was made. Downstairs, the assault continued and

became more violent as Larrate claimed the nurse was his wife and demanded she come with him or he would kill her mother. The victim grabbed a knife from the kitchen and attempted to defend herself by stabbing the Larrate. He was able to avoid being stabbed but continued to punch and choke the victim. Finally, after she refused to stop defending herself, the Larrate fled from the house. Neighbors who heard the commotion called 9-1-1 and Larrarte was subsequently charged with 1st degree attempted kidnapping, 2nd degree burglary, 3rd degree terroristic threats, 4th degree possession of synthetic marijuana and simple assault. Following his processing, Larrarte was transported to Monmouth County Correctional Institution where he will be held pending a hearing. It remains currently unknown as to how Larrarte learned where the nurse lived. He did provide a statement implicating himself. Police seized his two cellphones as part of the investigation. Township Police are able to analyze cellphones. The nurse and her mother were treated and released from the hospital. Police Chief Andrew Kudrick said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;our homes are our sanctuary. A place that should always be safe. No one should have to go through such a traumatic, life altering incident such as this.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, she fought back and refused to quit. As a result, she survived. Predators such as Larrarte should never be allowed to see another day of freedom to victimize another innocent person,â&#x20AC;? the chief added.

Correction

In a prior article concerning a Howell Board of Education meeting held on March 18, it was mistakenly reported that Board member Ira Thor was not present. He did attend that session in person. The Howell Times regrets this error.

Ardena One Room School Remembered

By Howell Heritage Historical Society Member Ann Malsbury It is a privilege for a municipality to have a history rich in the important events of the day and even richer still to have those who remember and record from their memories. One such citizen of Howell to write his memories was Charles W. Patterson, a local dairy farmer who served as mayor of Howell from 1964 through 1966. The following was written in the 1970’’s in his hand on scraps of paper and on envelopes of mail he had received. This is Part One which tells about the Ardena One Room School and how the original Howell Historical Society came in possession of it. “I stopped by at the Old Ardena School on Aug. 23 and discovered your note in the bulletin board. I shall endeavor to give you the information on the old school that you asked for. Howell Township was incorporated as a municipality in 1801 and was named after the third governor of the State of New Jersey, Richard Howell. It is an area of 63 square miles and is the largest municipality in Monmouth Co. This building known as the Ardena Public School No.2 was built in 1855. It originally sat across the road from the Ardena Baptist Church & cemetery.

DISPLACED FROM YOUR JOB?

The Ardena Baptist Church was organized in 1859. The church records state they met in the one room school across the road until the present church was erected in 1861. (My great uncle, Austin H. Patterson built the church.) I started school in this building in 1899. My first teacher was Miss Jennie Butcher who lived on the Butcher farm nearby, now a development known as Ardmore Estates. One teacher taught all eight grades and also acted as janitor. The room was heated by a “pot-bellied” stove which is now in the building. This building took care of the children in the area until Jan. 6, 1939 when the Howell Twp. Consolidated School opened at Ardena with 509 pupils. After the consolidated school opened, the school board sold at auction the nine one and two room schools in the township. Mr. Leroy Matthews purchased this building a few years later. He sold it to a Mr. Gifford on Burlington Rd. in Freehold Township. In moving to East Freehold the belfry was torn off and also the soffets on both sides. Thanks to our township engineer, Mr. Widdis, and an old picture of the school we have an exact replica of the belfry & soffets back in place. Watch for the next column for part two of this column in the next issue of The Howell Times.

Red Bank Man Admits To Fraud Charges

By Bob Vosseller TRENTON – A Monmouth County man admitted on May 20 to participating in a conspiracy to defraud health insurance companies through a multi-state patient brokering scheme. Peter J. Costas, 26, of Red Bank admitted to having bribed drug-addicted individuals to enroll in drug rehabilitation in exchange

for referral fees from the rehabilitation centers, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced. Costas pleaded guilty by teleconference before U.S. District Judge Peter G. Sheridan to an information charging him with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud. According to documents filed in the case and statements made in court:

The Red Bank man carried out a scheme in New Jersey, California, and other states that involved bribing individuals addicted to heroin and other drugs to enter into drug rehabilitation centers so Costas and his conspirators could generate referral fees from those facilities. Costas worked with several marketing companies to carry out the scheme, but one

marketing company in California run by Costas’s conspirators was pivotal. The marketing company maintained contractual relationships with drug treatment facilities around the country. Costas was engaged by the marketing company to recruit potential patients, who were addicted to heroin or other drugs and who had robust private health insurance, from New Jersey and other states. To convince drug-addicted individuals to travel to and enroll in rehabilitation when they otherwise would not have, Costas offered to bribe them – often as much as several thousand dollars. Once they agreed to enroll in drug rehabilitation in exchange for the offered bribe, Costas and the owners of the marketing company would ar range and pay for cross-country travel to the drug treatment centers in California and other states. Costas would stay in touch with the New Jersey patients at the facilities and specifically instruct them to stay at the facilities long enough to generate referral payments. He and the marketing company often directed patients to different rehabilitation facilities month after month to generate multiple referral payments without regard to whether the substance abuse treatment was medically necessary or effective. In a conversation over Facebook, one patient told Costas that if Costas made good on his promise to pay the patient a bribe, the patient would enroll in additional facilities to trigger additional referral payments and bribes: “Just get us [sic] grab the dough and put us in another place. . . . Get paid some more feel me. . . . I’ll keep this up all year with you. As long as you do us right.” When the patient later expressed doubt that Costas would pay the bribe, Costas responded, “Don’t worry. . . . I do this with so many people.” Costas and the marketing company sent patients to facilities in California and other states that they knew provided ineffective drug treatment or actually fostered drug use on their premises. The facilities typically paid the marketing company a fee of $5,000 to $10,000 per patient referral, and Costas and other brokers received approximately half that amount for each patient they brokered. During the scheme, Costas brokered dozens of patients on behalf of marketing companies around the country, and the conspiracy caused millions of dollars of losses for health insurers. He faces a maximum potential penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fi ne, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 29, 2020. U.S. Attorney Carpenito credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Gregory W. Ehrie in Newark, with the investigation leading to today’s guilty plea. The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason S. Gould of the Health Care Fraud Unit in Newark.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Respecting One’s Social Distance Feelings

Dear Joel, I am sure we all agree that the coronavirus pandemic has changed the world and the way we as humans are currently living. My husband and I are not in the most vulnerable age category, but we are extremely mindful and cautious. We follow all the social distancing guidelines, while doing our best to support essential businesses that are open. A small group of our friends, however, do not seem as concerned and proceed to act as if nothing is wrong. They have already made plans to resume life as it was the moment it is allowed. It is this apparent disregard for their health and the health of others that has changed our opinion of them. My husband and I do not feel that we would be comfortable socializing with them for quite some time, if ever again. Do you have any suggestions on how we should handle this situation? Answer: I certainly agree that the coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we are currently living, and perhaps how we

will live from this point on. As with ever y thing we face in life, people will have different thoughts and approaches. Fr iendships are usually based upon common interests, etc. but should not be limited to agreement on every subject. We are continuously reminded by TV commercials that we are more alike than we are different. So, without knowing the exact nature of your friendship, I would say if you are more alike than you are different, you may be able to continue your socializing even if it is on a limited basis. It is important to remember that while we are all in the same storm, we are not all in the same boat. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Michael J. Deem and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical

expense benefits (PIP) Michael J. Deem coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

How To Make Immune Cubes By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

As the weather warms, I find myself craving ice cubes in my water. I make what you might call “weird” ice cubes, sometimes they’re green. Sometimes they are the normal whitish color, but they’ve been laced with astragalus or echinacea. When my children were young, they didn’t notice what was going on, but they got immune cubes at times (usually in their smoothies). All soups were simmered with a piece of astragalus bark in the broth, along with the expected Bay leaf. I’d take the astragalus bark out before serving them. I made some of their drinks and smoothies using coconut water, or bilberry-infused water. I’d put a dash of matcha powder in their cookie dough! Today, my adult children are tickled about my antics! They tease me that they knew what was going on… which is possible because they were always in the kitchen licking spoons and helping me pour flour out onto the floor, lol. At this time, with COVID-19 still circulating, it’s important to protect your immune function as best you can. I also think it might be a fun afternoon project with your kids. Use the ice cubes daily and put them in your individual glass, or in a pretty water dispenser for your counter. You can also use these ice cubes in your smoothies. Green Tea Ice Cubes This has caffeine. There are green tea bags available everywhere, as well as matcha powder. I usually use matcha because it’s stronger. You’re drinking crushed up

leaves, not an extraction. The antioxidants in green tea and matcha, especially EGCG, chase down free radicals and help balance your cytokines so they are in healthier ratios. The FDA requires me to say that neither green tea or matcha powder (or supplements containing these ingredients) do not prevent, cure, or treat COVID-19, or any disease for that matter. This herb simply provides antioxidants which go after oxidants. How to do it: Steep 4 green bags into 4 cups of hot water for about 5 minutes. Strain the infusion into your ice cube tray and freeze. You won’t even taste the green tea (which is a tad bitter if you over-steep it) in your glass of water. But it will provide powerful immune benefits. If you are using matcha, you can use a bamboo whisker or a metal whisker and stir 2 teaspoonfuls of matcha powder into 4 cups of hot water. Make sure it has all dissolved well or put it through a stainless-steel strainer before pouring into your ice cube tray. Freeze it. It will probably stay good for about a month. This confers powerful immune protection. In between the years of 1998 and 2009, a group of women were studied and those who drank green tea showed a 30 percent reduced risk of getting breast cancer. And in another study of 49,000 men, they found that prostate cancer risk was cut virtually in half! I have a longer version of this article with other recipes using licorice root, astragalus, oranges and more. It’s available via email after you sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Omarrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Astrological Forecast For the week of may 23 - may 29 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your week ahead could include a profusion of confusion. Be alert to potential hackers or phishing scams, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t click on email links or give out personal information. Reassure any loved ones who have doubts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Apologize if you make a mistake or commit some slip-up. If you and loved ones can agree to disagree, your week to come will run more smoothly. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on a spending spree thinking it will solve a problem. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone may tell you only what you want to hear. Check the facts twice before embarking on new enterprises in the upcoming week. Someone who is demanding or is dealing with an emotional issue could drain your energy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You or a family member could be subject to online tricks, misleading offers or false advertising. Change your passwords and update your security applications so that you can rest easy in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You might not recognize which people have your best interests at heart. Any skepticism may prevent you from making an advantageous choice. As this week unfolds, focus on being responsible as well as reasonable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get it while you can. If you ask for forgiveness or assistance, your wish might be fulfilled. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if you find hidden strings attached to a purchase or investment in the week ahead that changes your mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your social life could be at a low point. If you become bored or restless, your imagination might go into overdrive. Wishful thinking could cause you to be misled by someone in the week ahead, so be alert for tricks. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Rein in any roving desire for romance. Keep your money in your pocket and your mind sharp. In the week to come, make decisions based on facts and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on others to guide your hand. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll run fewer risks if your cash and credit card remain safely tucked away in your wallet. Avoid making an issue of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hedging during the week ahead to preserve the tranquility of a valued relationship. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are probably feeling good about yourself and welcome some new activities as this week begins to unfold, but remain aware of your fiscal and social responsibilities. Take advantage of a chance for fun that costs little. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may see evidence of your need to work harder as this week unfolds. It might be pointed out that you have not always made the most of your time. Put a hold on major expenditures until you are more comfortable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Out of sight, out of mind. This is a good week to maintain a low profile and steer clear of misunderstandings. Your intuition could be less accurate than usual in the upcoming week, and you may want to be out of the loop in social situations.
