By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – Residents, colleagues and fellow first responders throughout the Township are mourning the loss of John Menschner Sr., the founder of the Howell Township First Aid & Rescue Squad #1 (HTFARS) who passed away at 95 years old. “It is with heartfelt
sadness and deep regret, that we, the members of the Howell Township First Aid & Rescue Squad #1 mourn the loss of our Patriarch and Founder, John Menschner Sr.,” HTFARS President John Zicha said in a statement. In 1955, Menschner moved i nto Howell Township and heard
that the town did not have its own fi rst aid squad. Menschner later thought “maybe I can start one,” since he previously was a member of the East Keansburg First Aid for five years. Menschner decided to join the Southard Fire Department No.1. to meet new people and find potential members
for a squad. With help from the township who provided $1,000 to start up, Menschner alongside nine Charter Members founded the Howell Township First Aid & Rescue Squad #1 in February of 1957. “If it wasn’t for him, the squad and all of its (Founder - See Page 2)
Complaint Accuses Official Of Conflict
By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – A Howell Township resident has filed litigation against Planning Board member Robert Nicastro stating his dual appointments were unlawful. On January 21, resident Steven Morlino filed a complaint in Superior Court citing how Nicastro’s dual appointments to both the Planning Board and the Manasquan River Regional Sewerage Authority were unlawful. In the legal documents Morlino submitted, he discussed how his wife, Karen
Morlino was once in the same spot as Nicastro. In 2001, Morlino’s wife was appointed to both the Howell Township Planning Board and the Manasquan River Regional Sewerage Authority (MRRSA). During that time, a dispute over these appointments arose due to the “statutory and common law that an individual could not serve simultaneously as a municipal officer on the MRRSA and as a Class IV citizen member on the Planning Board.” Planning Board Attorney Ronald Cuc-
chiaro told Morlino’s wife her appointments were conflicting and unlawful, which resulted in her resigning from the Planning Board. Nicastro was appointed to the Howell Planning Board in 2019, and then was appointed to the MRRSA in 2020 again in 2021. Morlino states that allegedly, a resident notified Township Attorney Joe Clark that Nicastro’s dual appointments were illegal and nothing was done to resolve the conflict such as asking Nicastro to (Complaint - See Page 3)

Some Schools To Be Mask “Optional”
By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – Both the Howell Township Public Schools District and the Freehold Regional High School District have announced that they will be moving to a “mask optional environment.” This month, Governor Phil Murphy declared that he will lift his executive order and let school districts make their own rules about wearing masks. This will take effect on March 7. Murphy said during the February 7 news conference that the decision was based on positive metrics showing COVID-19 cases on the decline and hospitalizations from the pandemic at low levels. “The state wide school mask mandate will be lifted in 30 days. Additionally, we will lift the state wide mandate in all child care settings. We are announcing this for plenty of notice to determine how this will affect them. Masking continues to be an important tool in preventing the spreading of COVID. It should be used in many circumstances,” the governor said. On February 9, Superintendent of Howell Township Public Schools District Joseph Isola put out a letter to families stating that the (Mask - See Page 3)
“Wall Of Heroes” Will Honor Those Who’ve Served
By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – A Wall of Heroes is in the works to be unveiled in Tow n Hall, the proje ct st e m m i ng from Deputy Mayor Pamela Richmond’s creative idea. “I think it’s always important to honor our military. I am a daughter of a Marine, my brother is a Marine, my grandpa was
in the Army as well,” Richmond told Jersey Shore Online. The Wall of Heroes memorial is set to be displayed in the foyer at town hall. The initiative will feature photos of armed forces members looped on a television as well as a designated area for fallen soldiers. “We’re going to have (Heroes - See Page 2)

Heroes:
Continued From Page 1 a nice big TV and above that it’s going to say ‘Howell Wall of Heroes.’ We’ll have each branch of military insignia around the TV, as well as an American flag on one side and the other side we’ll have the Howell Township flag. By the window we will have a table for the fallen heroes,” Richmond said. Richmond first announced the project at
the February 1 township council meeting, explaining how she spoke with Township Manager Brian Geoghegan about the initiative. At the meeting, fellow members of the governing body expressed their support for a Wall of Heroes. “I’ve always taken a special interest in helping support the troops by writing letters or sending care packages. My family has always done that. When the Boy Scout
Brendan Mueller of Troop 300 came to us (council) and asked about moving monuments to Soldier Memorial Park, it gave me an idea that we need to do something,” Richmond said. “I started thinking of an idea to honor the military. I heard Brick Township did something on their wall as well as Jackson Township, so I visited them and piggybacked off that. Brendan really sparked something inside of me, so I thought we should do something at town
hall. “I’m so excited for this project. I’m also excited that all of council are on the same page to support a great initiative. It’s important and it shows how important the veterans are to our township,” Richmond added. Currently, there is no set date on when the memorial will officially be unveiled, but Richmond said they are aiming for some time in April. “My goal was Memorial Day, but then I thought I wanted to give it its own special day. As soon as we can get the decals printed and up on the wall, we’ll will probably pick a date from there. Right now, we are hoping to unveil it sometime in April.” The Township is now taking applications for the Wall of Heroes. Active military and veterans will be celebrated for their service. Visit the township’s website for more details, and visit: twp.howell.nj.us/DocumentCenter/View/6268/Wall-of-Heroes to fill out on application. “Anybody who served in the military at any capacity who lives in Howell or has any connection to Howell can apply. We decided to open it up to anybody especially since it’s going to be digitized. So even if we finish it say April 1, we can just keep adding to it at any time. There’s really no deadline. Being digital we can keep adding to the wall so to speak,” Richmond said.
Founder:
Continued From Page 1 members would not be here today, 65 years later. Countless lives have been forever changed because of this man, because of his leadership and sincere dedication to the township of Howell. Without John, lives would not have been saved. Families were reunited and people were given second chances. John was a prime example of what traits make a leader and a hero,” Zicha said. In 2020, the squad created a video of the history of the organization. The video included an interview with Menschner where he discussed every detail of the squad’s history. The video can be viewed by visiting: youtu.be/_xUvGLepI8w. “If it wasn’t for John, the men and women of HTFARS#1 wouldn’t be where we are today. We wouldn’t have the careers we are in today. In one way, shape or form, the squad is a huge part of all the members’ lives and is considered to be a family. We owe all of that to John,” Zicha said. “John was a man of pride and honor. John wouldn’t want us to mourn his death, but celebrate his life. He would want us to rejoice in the times we had with him and laugh while we tell the stories from throughout the years and at the drop of those tones, we will be back on the trucks. We will continue to provide prompt and professional care to whomever we encounter, because that is how we will honor him. “John, we aren’t sure how we are going to do this without you. The squad is certainly a lesser place without you. May you forever rest in eternal peace. Our continued prayers and condolences are with the family and friends of this truly amazing human being,” Zicha added.

Mask:
Continued From Page 1 district will be “pivoting to a mask optional environment” starting March 7. “As we have indicated throughout the pandemic, should local decision making be granted by the Governor and the COVID-19 related data is favorable, we would return to our mask optional protocols of spring and summer 2021,” Isola said. “Please note that we have not yet received the formal written direction from Trenton. Once received, we will make any updates and advise the community as necessary.” Also in the letter, Isola said that the district stopped contact tracing positive cases on February 10. Asymptomatic in-school close contacts will no longer be identified and excluded from school. Superintendent Charles B. Sampson of
The Howell Times, February 19, 2022, Page 3 the Freehold Regional High School District put out a similar statement regarding Murphy’s mask announcement. “Since the pandemic began, we have followed the requirements of the Governor and recommendations from the New Jersey Department of Health, the CDC and our local health departments when making decisions related to health issues,” Sampson said. “Based on the Gover nor’s decision and the shar ply declining number of COVID-19 cases on our school community, the Freehold Regional High School District will move to a mask optional environment on March 7. Students and staff are welcome to wear a mask if they choose.” Sampson further explained that the end of the mask mandate does apply to school buses. According to Federal requirement, masks have to be worn on public transportation.

Complaint:
Continued From Page 1 resign from one of the boards just like Morlino’s wife had to in 2001. “I am personally familiar with the circumstances surrounding that dispute and the controversy over whether the dual appointment created a conflict of interest, the evaluation of the conflict and Karen Morlino’s ultimate decision to resign from the Planning Board. Karen Morlino conferred with me personally regarding those issues
at the time,” Steven Morlino said. “This person (Nicastro) can vote on major developments and may actually jeopardize the applications’ validity,” Morlino added. After reaching out to Township Attorney Clark regarding the situation, Clark did not comment on the litigation. Nicastro did not respond for comment at the time of publication. However, the Township council agenda for the February 1 meeting showed that Nicastro recently resigned from the MRRSA.

Congressman Smith Protests Olympics Over China’s Civil Rights Abuses From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. - The following are excerpts of remarks made by Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), Ranking Member of the Congressional - Executive Commission on China, during a protest of the Beijing Genocide Olympics at the Chinese embassy: “We are raising our voices in protest and prayer today outside the embassy of the People’s Republic of China. “There is irony in this, as it is we who are representing the people, and speaking for those in China who are voiceless. We stand with the oppressed people of China, and not the oppressor – the Chinese Communist Party. “Behind those walls, are representatives of one of the most repressive regimes on the face of the earth, that of Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping. “Today, they will hear the voices of the voiceless. “They will hear voices raised on behalf of Guo Feixiong, a courageous lawyer who has been imprisoned by the Chinese Communists and who was denied a humanitarian request to allow him to leave to visit his wife, Zhang Qing, to bid her final farewell as she was dying of cancer. “Voices are also raised on behalf of victims
like Mihrigul Tursun, who at a 2018 congressional hearing I co-chaired, recounted her ordeal of torture, sexual abuse and detention in one of China’s ‘mass internment camps’ in Xinjiang. “She broke down weeping telling us that she pleaded with God to end her life. Her Chinese jailers restrained her to a table, increased the electrical currents coursing through her body and mocked her belief in God. “She was tortured simply for being an ethnic Uyghur and a Muslim in China. “Today, our voices are also raised on behalf of those jailed in defense of freedom of speech in that once great enclave of liberty, Hong Kong, where now journalists and democracy advocates are imprisoned for exercising their fundamental civil and political rights. “But our voices are also raised in protest. “Next week, we will see the ideals of the Olympics tarnished, trashed and torn. “These are Xi Jinping’s Genocide Games, held in a nation that places its own people in concentration camps, forcing ethnic Uyghurs, Kazakhs and Kirghiz to labor in slavery. “Fortunately, Congress passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, of which I was the lead Republican sponsor. “Now, the burden of proof shifts to those importing goods made in China – from sneakers to solar panels – to prove that they were not made by slave labor. “But we must call out those who profit directly from these Genocide Games.

“We must call out sponsors like the Coca-Cola Company, which virtue signals when it comes to protesting common-sense laws designed to curb voter fraud in Georgia, but then turns a blind eye to the harvesting of organs of Uyghurs and Falun Gong practitioners. “We must call out NBC, which will broadcast the Genocide Games but refuses to say whether it will cover those athletes who raise their voices in protest to the vile human rights abuses of Xi Jinping and the Communist Party. “We must call out the IOC. The IOC has not stood with the oppressed – they have stood with the oppressor. “The IOC suspends countries when their athletes fail doping tests, but turns a blind eye to genocide. The IOC won’t even certify that the clothing worn by IOC personnel or sold at the Genocide Games aren’t made with slave labor. “And we must call out those members of corporate America, like billionaire co-owner of the Golden State Warriors Chamath Palihapitiya, who callously proclaimed ‘no one cares’ about the genocide against the predominantly-Muslim Uyghurs. “Well, we care about the Uyghurs, and we
also care about the Tibetans, and Christians, and Falun Gong practitioners who are treated with unspeakable cruelty and persecuted for their religious beliefs. “Finally, our voices are raised in prayer. “We pray first and foremost, for the oppressed, those who languish in prison and labor in concentration camp factories. “We pray for the young Uyghur woman, lying on a gurney in a hospital run by the People’s Liberation Army, alone and afraid, whose head has been shaved, her hair to be used for a hairpiece and whose organs are soon to be harvested while she is still alive. “We pray for her family, wondering what happened to their daughter, their sister. “And we pray that the evildoers repent. “We pray for a change of heart among those in positions of power in the Chinese government, that they renounce the wickedness of Communism, and come to realize the meaning of true brotherhood and sisterhood. “And we pray for Xi Jinping, who if he does not renounce his evil will one day need to account for every life that he ended, every torture he inflicted. “Thank you, God bless you, and keep fighting the good fight.”

Girl Scout Earns Lifesaving Award
FARMINGDALE – Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore McKayla Havemann-Fordyce has earned Girl Scouts of the USA’s rare national lifesaving award, the Medal of Honor. McKayla, a 10-year-old Brownie Girl Scout, saved her grandmother Nancy’s life by her heroic actions. Due to her quick thinking and action when her grandmother required emergency health services, her grandmother was able to get the care necessary for a positive outcome. On June 22, 2021, McKayla’s grandmother was experiencing shortness of breath and pains in her chest. Suffering from COPD, she knew she was having more of a hard time than usual. She called for McKayla and told her she needed help. McKayla helped get her to the kitchen to get her to a seated position. Nancy became visibly distressed and started becoming light-headed. She told McKayla she would need to call 911. McKayla remembered her training from Girl Scouts and how to give correct information to first responders. McKayla stayed calm and stayed with Nancy until she heard the sirens at which time she went outside to help first responders find where Nancy was in the home. Raymond Suiter Jr., Firefighter, Jackson Fire District #3, praised McKayla, saying, “In any emergency, people can become frazzled or erratic, but McKayla was able to follow the proper steps in a calm and collected manner. Her actions undoubtedly contributed to her grandmother’s positive outcome. Her poise in the face of an emergent situation is to be commended, and she is certainly deserving of the Medal of Honor.” She then proceeded to go to a neighbor’s house to look for help, but no one was home. McKayla knew to call her mother at work but, she did not respond. McKayla then called her emergency contact person on her phone and waited with first responders until her emergency contact person arrived. McKayla remained totally calm throughout the event and Nancy’s doctors said that had
–Photo courtesy Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore she not known what to do Nancy would have suffocated from the collapsed lung. Mohamed Elsawaf, MD, physician at Shore Pulmonary, Ocean NJ, extended his gratitude to McKayla for her heroic actions in the care of her grandmother, saying, “Due to her quick thinking and action when her grandmother required emergency health services, her grandmother was able to get the care our group provided at the hospital for a life-threatening situation. She conducted herself with composure and maturity and we are all very proud of her.” Recognizing this act of bravery, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Interim CEO Heather Coburn said, “McKayla performed a heroic act beyond the degree of maturity and training to be expected at her age. Girl Scouts are encouraged to be resourceful, skilled, and ready to help others - McKayla’s quick thinking and exceptional judgment is inspiring to us all.” McKayla’s grandmother is recovering from a collapsed lung. McKayla will be recognized at Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Annual meeting.

Former Teacher Indicted For Sexually Assaulting Four Students
By Alyssa Riccardi LONG BRANCH – A former Long Branch elementary school teacher has received an eight-count indictment for allegedly sexually assaulting several of his former students, officials said. Gustavo Barrientos, 53, was indicted on one count of first-degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, three counts of second-degree Sexual Assault, and four counts of second-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child. During the 2017-2019 school years, four of Barrientos’ former students allege that Barrientos had sexual contact with them, either inside the school or on class trips.
Police: Man Tried To Pay Child For Sex
By Alyssa Riccardi BRADLEY BEACH – A Bradley Beach man was indicted after he tried to pay an elementary school girl for sexual intercourse, officials said. Adalberto Garcia-Velasco, 41, was indicted with third-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child, first-degree Manufacturing Child Pornography, second-degree Luring, fi rst-degree Promoting Prostitution, and second-degree Attempted Sexual Assault. Bradley Beach police said they were contacted by the staff at a local elementary school on November 23, 2021 after they discovered one of their students had been receiving inappropriate text messages from an adult male who lived in the same neighborhood. Law enforcement found that Garcia-Velasco had requested the victim to send nude photos of herself in October 2021. He continued to send sexual messages to the young girl over the course of the next month, and even offered her up to $800 to have sex with him. If convicted, Garcia-Velasco is facing up to 20 years in prison on the Manufacturing Child Pornography and Promoting Prostitution charges and up to 10 years imprisonment on the Luring and Attempted Sexual Assault charges. In addition, he would be subject to Parole Supervision for Life and required to register under Megan’s Law. Ch arges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and 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 com-
pensation to you and your family if you/ they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) 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 your 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.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
What an Intracranial Headache Feels Like By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Having a headache is common, and probably 80 percent of people experience one in their life. There are all sorts of headache disorders such as migraines, tension, hormonal and cluster headaches. Popular medications can induce a headache including the very effective blood pressure pills known as “ACE inhibitors.” You probably have heard of the ACE receptor since that’s where the bug of 2020 binds to as it enters human cells. But what about intracranial headaches due to high pressure on the brain, have you heard of that? It’s a serious problem and I think it is important for you to understand what that type of headache feels like. It’s also critical to distinguish this form a migraine which often has an aura. Probably the most common symptom of intracranial hypertension (aside from the headache itself) is eye trouble! There is no aura. You may have blind spots, poor peripheral (side) vision, blurry vision, double vision, and temporary bouts of vision loss. Left untreated, many people experience permanent vision loss. An intracranial hypertension headache happens when there is increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in the brain. Normally this occurs if a person has a traumatic brian injury, car accident, sports injury or a disease involving the spinal cord. It wasn’t that common except in the elderly population with high risk of a stroke, hydrocephalus or aneurysm. Nowadays, I get questions about severe, moving headaches frequently, so I’ve been researching the cause of these.
The hallmark symptom of course is a severe headache, one that might even move quickly around your head! It may be sharp and severe, or may feel like a dull, aching pressure that make your eyes hurt. You may feel less alert, and a bit confused but also possibly restless. As the pressure rises in your brain, you may become less able to speak like normal, and weaker. It may feel like it’s a little bit harder to breathe. These symptoms can come on in minutes, and wake you in the middle of the night. This is not a headache you can treat at home; this is a medical emergency in many cases because it could mean impending stroke or blindness. There are however a number of cases where individuals can walk around and sort of function in life with mild ICP. And this maybe you if you’ve been to dozens of doctors for your weird, unrelenting headaches. The condition can be diagnosed with a lumbar puncture that assesses the pressure of your cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A visual examination looking for papilledema is critical as part of the fundamental work up. I hope this article has been helpful in terms of enlightening you to the new type of headache we are seeing. I hope it helps you to have learned the symptoms today in case you or a loved one experiences this. For more information visit the Intracranial Hypertension Research Foundation. Also, if you are interested, I have a more comprehensive version of this article. Please sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of feb 19 - feb 25 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week ahead, do your best to be able to remain calm under pressure. Your fingers may be stuck in many pies, but you should be able to coordinate them with ease. Your job or workplace may seem like the center of your social activities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): To live your best life, you’ll need to find ways to exercise, both physically and mentally. It can help keep you more accountable to work out with a buddy. Avoid making plans that require complicated protocols in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take time to carefully assess information so you do not miss a valuable piece of data. Save the day by keeping a cool head and finding workarounds if plans fall through. It may be difficult to negotiate successfully in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Carefully assess the person and the situation before you open up fully. Once you are sure things feel safe, you can disclose your innermost thoughts. Sharing key experiences with someone could open doors as the week unfolds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Transparency should be helpful now. Allowing someone to have a sneak peek at your ideas could turn out to be beneficial even if it could seem a little invasive. Let your passion for success guide your hand in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your best social instincts could be triggered. Someone may test you or challenge you to keep up. Keeping your money in your pocket could be the best financial decision you make in the early part of the week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Healthy competition can push you to do better. Conditions could conspire to keep you and a loved one at odds. You might need to let someone else take the lead or go along with someone else’s dominant ideas in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lay out a solid case to win an argument. You cannot expect that someone will be able to read between the lines if you are being too subtle. Say exactly what you mean to get your point across in the upcoming week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may be too busy socializing or too much on the defensive to successfully reach a comfortable compromise. As the week unfolds, you may become more aware of how to best achieve financial security. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be commended for your commitment to a project, belief, or relationship as the week unfolds. Your social activities might involve a wide range of people who should respect your enthusiasm, passion and dedication. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You could be concerned that someone may be offended by too much familiarity; watch for social feedback to guide you. Mixed feelings about investments and purchases can recede by the end of the week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. A family issue could seem more important than it is, so wait until the second part of the week to make critical decisions. A loved one could send out many mixed messages.
