photo by Joe Morgan LAKEHURST – Micromedia Publications, Inc., publishers of seven weekly newspapers in Ocean and Monmouth Counties and the hyperlocal news website Jersey Shore Online, announced today the acquisition of Toms River Online and its vast array of digital properties. Toms River Online is one of the original community websites for the Ocean County area. Founded in 2001 by Robert Henne and Linda Andrews Henne, the focus is to showcase the many great things the town has to offer. The site provides residents and tourists with information, valuable links to news and events as well as a place for businesses to advertise. In addition to Toms River Online, the company operates Bricktown Online, Bayville NJ Online, Seaside Heights NJ Online and several social media pages with thousands of followers and high engagement. Micromedia Publications is the Jersey Shore’s premier source for community news and af-
fordable advertising solutions in print and online. Founded in 1995 by Stew Swann and Robyn Friedrich, the company prides itself on high quality, fair and balanced journalism while providing value for the advertisers. Micromedia launched The Manchester Times followed by six other newspapers serving Toms River, Berkeley, Brick, Jackson, Southern Ocean and Howell. In 2017, the company developed Jersey Shore Online, a breaking news website updated throughout the day. Micromedia founder and president Stew Swann looks forward to the new venture as the company enters its 27th year, citing how the news and advertising landscape has dramatically changed over the last two decades. “For years, our print editions were the sole vehicles which delivered local news to our readers and visibility for our advertisers,” Swann said. “With the evolution of the internet and smart devices, we realized how vital it is to keep pace with the times – as a result, we developed Jersey Shore Online. Although technology might change, one thing never will - our commitment to provide timely, comprehensive
and unbiased news for our readers and continuing value for our advertisers.” Toms River Online founder Robert Henne looks back on the last 20 years fondly as he and his wife Linda look to retire. “We are very happy that we’ve found the perfect home for our local websites & social media properties,” Henne said. “Linda and I will remain involved initially to help guide a smooth transition. We are confident Micromedia will continue our mission to keep the community informed, entertained and provide more benefits for local businesses.” Micromedia Vice President Jason Allentoff is excited about the prospect of adding to the company’s digital initiatives. “This acquisition will allow Micromedia to expand our audience, our overall reach and our advertising base. More people will be sharing our stories and learning about their community and local businesses,” Allentoff said. “We look forward to working with the advertisers of Toms River Online and Bricktown Online. We will be able to expand our offerings to them as well as to our current print advertisers, some of whom have entrusted us for decades.” Micromedia is headquartered in Lakehurst, New Jersey.

Housing:
Continued From Page 1 develop on a 102-acre tract at Fort Plains and Sunnyside roads. The Views at Monmouth Manor would consist of 319 residential units. Of these, there would be 72 homes to be sold at market rates, 155 townhomes to be sold at market rates, and 92 condominiums/ apartments to be set as affordable housing.
The state requires a certain amount of homes developed in a town to be set aside for those of lower income. The testimony for the Views at Monmouth Manor was originally heard on August 31 and October 7. Afterwards, it was carried to the December 6 meeting but due to a high volume of applications on the agenda it was carried to January 6. However, members of the Planning Board are carrying it again to a future date.
Attorney Kenneth Pape, who is representing the application, requested that the board should consider holding a special meeting in order to conclude the application. If the Planning Board members decide to hold a special meeting, it would have to take place on a separate date than one of the board’s regularly scheduled meetings. “We have also asked if the board would consider a special meeting to break it out from the crowd of applications… so we can
bring it to a conclusion,” Pape said after a presentation on December 6. According to Pape, the applicant is ready to pay the costs or expenses that go with holding a special meeting. Attorney Ron Cucchiaro who represents the Planning Board was the one who suggested that board members carry the testimony to January 6 and discuss a possible special meetings date. But since the testimony has been carried again, it is unclear whether a special meeting will be assigned or not.

Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone I hope everyone has been having a happy and healthy holiday season while keeping warm. Winter is here and I want to ensure everyone our Monmouth County Department of Public Works is prepared for any inclement weather that may come our way during the winter season. Switching gears, as you are aware, there has been a recent increase in COVID-19 cases over the past few weeks. Monmouth County has numerous testing sites operating throughout the county for those who are looking to be tested. Please visit our website visitmonmouth.com for our testing site and vaccine clinic information.
On another note, last week Monmouth County held our Annual Employee Service Awards Luncheon in recognition of our great county employees. I want to congratulate all the recipients of the service awards and thank all of our employees for doing a tremendous job every single day. Additionally, the Monmouth County Police Academy held a graduation ceremony for 28 newly sworn law enforcement officers. On December 22, 18 recruits of the 101st Basic Course for Police Officers and 10 recruits from the 52nd Basic Course for Class II Special Law Enforcement Officers received their police training commission certifications during a ceremony. On behalf of the entire Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners, I would like to thank all of the Police Academy graduates for choosing a career in law enforcement and
for the public service they will perform to protect our communities. Monmouth County truly has the best law enforcement in the state and each of these graduates will contribute to that. Lastly, Monmouth County has partnered with New Jersey SHARES to offer utility assistance to income-eligible tenants with up to 18 months of utility arrearages resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic through the Monmouth County Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). The Monmouth County ERAP program continues to find innovative ways to provide tenants and landlords with financial resources to help them recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. I want to thank our partners at New Jersey SHARES for working with us to provide this opportunity to our residents. Tenants affected will be able to access a variety of utility assistance options through New Jersey SHARES including but not limited to electric, gas, water, and/or similar expenses. Monmouth County tenants with outstanding

For more information, visit monmouthcountyerap.com or call (848) 801-1297 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday or 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday. As always, it is a pleasure to serve as Commissioner Director.
Singer Bill Would Reinstate Bail For Some Violent Crimes Capitol Comments Senator Robert W. Singer 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell
In response to concerns that New Jersey’s criminal justice reform efforts have gone too far and jeopardize public safety, Senator Robert Singer will introduce legislation giving courts greater discretion to determine if and under what conditions defendants accused of violent crimes should be released on bail. “Like other states, New Jersey rushed to implement criminal justice reforms that let most defendants remain free while awaiting trial,” said Singer (R-30). “Although the reforms were well-intentioned, we’ve seen cases around the nation where people accused of vi-
olent acts have been set free only to commit horrific new crimes. If we don’t restore some sanity to our law, it’s only a matter of time before that happens in New Jersey with tragic consequences.” In a well-publicized attack before Thanksgiving in Waukesha, Wisconsin, a man with a long criminal history drove his SUV through a parade at high speeds killing six people and injuring more than 60. He had been released from jail days earlier after being arrested for physically assaulting his girlfriend and attempting to run her over with the same SUV. Singer’s new legislation would prevent a similar occurrence in New Jersey by clarifying the court’s ability to impose any combination of monetary bail and non-monetary conditions which would reasonably assure the defendant’s appearance in court, protect the
safety of any other person or the community, or prevent the person from obstructing the criminal justice process. Additionally, the bill would establish a rebuttable presumption that persons charged with certain violent crimes be detained prior to trial. Some of the crimes that may require pretrial detention include: murder; aggravated manslaughter or manslaughter; vehicular homicide; aggravated assault; disarming a law enforcement officer; kidnapping; aggravated
sexual assault; certain sexual assaults; robbery; carjacking; aggravated arson; burglary; extortion; terrorism; and firearms trafficking. A more comprehensive list is included in the bill. “What happened in Waukesha could happen here, all because the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of keeping our jails empty,” added Singer. “There’s mounting proof that the revolving door that lets violent criminals out of detention and onto our streets needs to be locked.”

CentraState Welcomes FellowshipTrained Endocrine Surgeon
FREEHOLD – Furthering its commitment to the expansion of services at Statesir Cancer Center, CentraState Medical Center has announced the addition of Rachel Liou, MD, a board-certified, fellowship-trained endocrine surgeon, to its medical staff. In her new role, Dr. Liou will focus on surgery of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, whether for cancerous or benign issues such as goiters. She is also a general surgeon. “Dr. Liou’s expertise in endocrine surgery will continue to expand CentraState’s specialized cancer services in the region, said Alexander Itskovich, MD, Medical Director of the Statesir Cancer Center. “She brings a very unique surgical skill set to our team, which will directly benefit patients who previously may have had to travel to receive this level of care.” Dr. Liou is focused on bringing more awareness to diseases of the endocrine system, which she believes could be diagnosed much earlier. Typically, she says, endocrine issues are initially found by a family physician, OB/GYN or endocrinologist, who then refer patients to her if surgery might be needed. Dr. Liou earned her medical degree at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine in Dayton, Ohio, and completed a residency in general surgery at Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, where she served as chief resident. She completed a fellowship in endocrine surgery at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. A former student of violin and piano, Dr. Liou became particularly interested in endocrine and thyroid surgery because of

5 New Medications Approved In 2021
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Here are the top 5 new medications that hit the market in 2021. There were two over-the-counter drugs approved in 2021, however one of them them has already been recalled so I am not including it here. I will note whether a drug is prescription or OTC beside the name. My column is printed in various languages so I apologize that I’ve only listed English brand names, please ask your local pharmacist for translations. Nextstellis (Drospirenone with Estetrol) Tablets, Rx: This is the first plant-based birth control utilizing estetrol, which is the first type of new estrogen approved in the last 50 years! It’s therefore environmentally friendly, however that comes at a cost… about $300 a month! Like other oral contraceptives, there’s a warning about them being less effective if you have a BMI of 30 or higher (ie obese), therefore a second method of contraception may be desired. To be scientifically correct, I want to say that estetrol is actually made by humans (a fetus), but that is not the source used in the medication. Verquvo (Vericiguat) Tablets, Rx: This medication is useful for people who have a high risk of hospitalization due to long-lasting heart failure. It improves their outcomes. The pills are taken once daily. This medication should not be used in pregnant women. Furthermore, its mechanism of action is unique. It stimulates an enzyme which works along the nitric oxide pathway, and that in turn improves cardiac contractility among other things.
Lastacaft (Alcaftadine) Ophthalmic solution 0.25%, OTC: This medication is for itching of the eyes due to allergies, pollen and dust. Alcaftadine is an antihistamine and blocks a certain allergy chemical(histamine) that typically triggers itching and irritation of the eyes. Take contact lenses out before applying. Aduhelm (aducanumab-avwa) Injection, Rx: This medication was fast-tracked in 2021 and approved by the FDA in June 2021. It was probably the most controversial approval in history because for the first time ever, the medication was FDA approved based upon a biomarker (levels of beta amyloid protein), versus clinical outcome. In other words, the drug was not approved because it could improve cognitive symptoms, it was approved because it can reduce the protein known to progress Alzheimer’s disease. It was tested on over 3,400 people prior to approval, and the FDA reserves the right to recall the drug on or before 2030 if it fails to show clinical benefits. Again, that part wasn’t studied, it was approved because it clearly lowers a “bad” lab marker. Qelbree (Viloxazine) Tablets, Rx: This is a non-stimulant drug used to treat ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and it’s given once daily. The medication was approved for use in children aged 6 to 17 years old. There is more information at the medication’s website regarding its interaction and safety profile which you should read, and discuss with your doctor especially if your child has signs of depression.

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

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
I Hate To Sound Like A Scrooge...
Dear Joel, My holiday bills are coming in. Guess I went a little wild shopping. Do you have some tips to help me get back on track? Answer: Don’t feel bad. Spending a little more than average just means you had a happy holiday season, and those good feelings are worth a lot. So, for the next couple of months, focus on doing things around the house instead of shopping. I also think you should set aside a manageable amount of money each week
for next year’s bills. Just $20 a week will reap you $1,000 by next year. Thanks for writing, Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.

JACKSON – On October 13th, 2021, Philip Scalo was elected the Vice-Chair of the American Health Care Association (AHCA) during their Annual National Convention located at National Harbor in Maryland, which resides just outside of Washington, D.C.
