Goodbye Yellowbrook Road Zoning

By Mark Bator HOWELL – The Township Council u na n i mou sly voted down one of the more controversial ordinances put before

them, which would have changed the zoning designation for an area along Yellowbrook Road. Members of the public from both Farmingdale and Howell came out in

force to voice their opinions to township officials regarding the ordinance that would have created a new SED-2 zone south of the Route 33 corridor. Prior to the June 14 public

hearing, the town had received a petition in opposition to the ordinance which, by New Jersey State law, would have required a “super (Zoning - See Page 3)

Art Exhibit Helps Victims Of Terrorism

By Mark Bator FREEHOLD – A new exhibit opened on June 19 at the Freehold Art Gallery to benefit and highlight the work done by a charity founded by a New Jersey resident. T he St r e ng t h t o Strength charity, founded by former Lakewood resident Sarri Singer, is a nonprofit organization that provides support for victims of terrorism around the world. Singer, the daughter of state senator Robert Singer, is a victim of terrorism herself, having been injured in a June 2003 attack in Jerusalem. “It’s been over twoand-a-half years where we’ve st r uggled as a nonprof it du r i ng

Officials Try To Stop Pop-Up Parties

By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – Local and regional governments are trying to minimize the damage caused by pop-up parties. Pop-up parties are a relatively recent phenomenon. They are advertised on social media. People usually pay to get in, and there is sometimes profes-

sional entertainment, like a DJ. The local authorities aren’t made aware of the event unless a resident finds out about it beforehand. Sometimes, these take place in public areas li ke boa rdwal ks or parks. More often, they are in rental homes. In these cases, entire residential neighborhoods

become drowned in traffic. Partygoers spill out of the home and wander drunk or high to other properties. Several state lawmakers are looking for solutions. “The Jersey Shore has always been a welcoming place for visitors, but many small towns are not equipped to

handle thousands of teenagers who suddenly pour off trains and flood their streets, boardwalks, and commercial districts for pop-up parties organized on social media,” said Senator Robert Singer (R-30 th). “We saw what happened in Long Branch a few weeks ago when 5,000

teens and young adults suddenly showed up in Pier Village. People were jumping on cars, fighting, and openly smoking pot and drinking in public. The local police had an extremely difficult time trying to restore order. Most shore towns looked at what happened in Long (Oﬃcials - See Page 5)

School Awarded Grant For Outdoor Classroom

By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – Ardena Elementary School was recently awarded a $10,000 grant from Sustainable Jersey to create an outdoor classroom. A total of 35 public schools and districts in the New Jersey were selected to receive grants which are funded by the PSEG Foundation. The PSEG Foundation has contributed $2.8 million in funding to the Sustainable Jersey grants program for municipalities and schools. Out of the 35 recipients, Ardena Elementary School received a $10,000 grant to build an outdoor classroom. The school created a student and staﬀ survey to get some input on how this new outdoor classroom would be designed. The classroom will be used for both academic and social-emotional purposes, according to a statement on the program. An example would be science teachers using the space and the native plants for science lessons. Additionally, the students can use the outdoor classroom as a place to relax or study with their peers “Ardena School is thrilled to accept this grant from Sustainable Jersey and the PSEG Foundation to put toward our natural playscape. An outdoor space for our school has been a dream for several years and this grant will bring this dream to life! We cannot wait to have this special area in our ‘backyard’ for teachers to use for outdoor lessons and for our students to enjoy during recess,” said Katie Mignoli, Principal at Ardena Elementary School. “As we work to achieve a sustainable New Jersey, our organization understands how important it is to help municipalities and schools build on the progress they are making at the local level,” said Randall Solomon, executive director for Sustainable Jersey. “The Sustainable Jersey grants, funded by the PSEG Foundation, build capacity and help our communities take meaningful steps to face issues such as the climate crisis, a growing equity divide and environmental pollution. Congratulations to the municipalities, schools and districts that received grant funding today.” In addition, Memorial Elementary School in the Howell Township Public School District (Classroon - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 that victims of terrorism will be able to be in-person and be able to connect with each other on a more intimate level than over a screen is just lifesaving for many of the people we work with.” The Strength to Strength nonprofit is predominantly volunteer-driven, and works in partnership with other organizations in 15 countries.

The organization enables victims of terrorism, family members, and first responders to connect with one another in an international support system. Through shared experience, the organization looks to have peer-to-peer support help individuals touched by terrorism move forward with their lives. As Singer explains it, by partnering with local organizations they can streamline the process, since many of the local charities have already laid the groundwork by contacting and vetting

victims in those countries. For instance, the partnership process helped Strength to Strength work with two organizations in Spain following attacks in Madrid, and three others in France. “I want to make sure that everybody feels safe and secure in the environment that they’re in,” said Singer, “[and] that when they’re sharing their experiences, that they know the person that’s there is really somebody that has been through something similar [to] them. So, we partner with these organizations. Depending on the country,

and how big the attacks were, will depend on how many organizations.” Strength to Strength provides monthly get-togethers known as Survivor’s Circle Meetings for peer support among not only the victims of terrorism, but their families, as well. In addition, the organization has a Victim’s Advisory Council, which helps voice ideas regarding victim’s rights. Singer is active in traveling to promote the organization, and speaks at regional, national, and international levels to campaign on behalf of victims of terrorism. Additionally, the organization hosts Victim’s Weekend Retreats where victims and family members meet for a weekend for mutual support. The organization will be hosting one such event in Springfield, New Jersey in August. A similar art exhibition was done in New York five years ago at the Agora Gallery, where these same five featured artists had donated their art in order to raise money for nonprofit organizations. However, the new exhibit came to Freehold through Freehold Art Gallery volunteer Debbie Szersin’s personal association with Sarri Singer’s mother, Judie. The exhibition benefitting Strength to Strength is on display in the Lounge Gallery, which is one of three separate galleries at the site. The works are comprised of a variety of mediums including paintings, photography, and digital media. Along with the oil works of Russian-born artist Zhenia Burnat, the exhibit is displaying digital pieces by Edmonde Bizelli, photography by Mohamed Bengriba and Mache Del Campo, and works by the late Muhammad Abdus-Sabur. The Freehold Art Gallery opened eight years ago, and is best known for its exhibits that feature local New Jersey artists. Exhibitions normally run for six weeks, and will then rotate to feature the works of a new set of artists from the Garden State. While the artists featured in this exhibit cannot be characterized as local, the gallery could not pass up the chance to host a forum for this talented group, especially given the cause involved. “We’re always very happy to showcase the work of up-and-coming artists, and to participate with an organization that is doing work to help people that have been victims of terrorism,” said Jeﬀ Friedman, proprietor of the Freehold Art Gallery. “It’s something that we are very happy to be part of.” The current exhibit is not scheduled to be a traveling exposition, but instead, is unique to the Freehold Art Gallery. Given that Singer’s nonprofit pays the costs for terrorism victims to travel to the organization’s in-person events, fundraising is particularly critical. Consequently, donations raised by the exhibit, and any proceeds from the direct sale of the art becomes even more instrumental in furthering the organization’s cause. “[It] is really special in that the gallery is doing this for us,” said Singer, “and actually making the statement that they want to support victims of terrorism wherever we are, and knowing that people care about us even if they haven’t been directly impacted by what we’ve been through.” “They did a similar exhibit five or six years ago,” explained Friedman about the past show at the Agora Gallery, “but this is a one-time exhibit.” Those interested in Strength to Strength may visit their website, stosglobal.org. The Strength to Strength special exhibit at the Freehold Art Gallery runs from Sunday, June 19 through Sunday, July 31. The gallery is located upstairs at 7 West Main Street in Freehold, and is open Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

Zoning:

Continued From Page 1 majority” of votes from the Council in order to pass the measure. The Special Economic Development-2 zone allows offices, banks, healthcare, self-storage, utilities, metal manufacturing, construction, agriculture, recreation, solar fields, microbreweries, craft distilleries, flex space, and health clubs. The ordinance had such strong opposition that the township held a special public forum about it prior to the Council’s June 14 meeting in which Councilwoman Evelyn O’Donnell, Deputy Mayor Pamela Richmond, and attorneys Caitlin Harney and Joseph Clark were in attendance. During that meeting, members of the public aired their concerns and grievances about the proposed ordinances that arose from the changes to the township’s Master Plan. Likely due in large part to the public hearing and the petition, it appeared that the Township Council had clearly made up its mind before the formal vote was ever taken. As the other ordinances were discussed and passed, Mayor Theresa Berger sensed the crowd’s anticipation of the upcoming ordinances. “Okay, so I read this list,” joked Mayor Berger as she held up the meeting agenda for the crowd, “so [ordinance] 25 is coming up.” “Yeah, I think we’re in the hot stretch here,” remarked Clark. “I noticed that there’s a lot of people interested in [ordinances] 25 and particularly 27. So, maybe to save people time, they’re still welcome to get up and discuss stuﬀ, but you might want to let them know your feelings on, I would say in particular,

The Howell Times, June 25, 2022, Page 3 ordinance number 27, which sort of sets the SED-2 overlay up on Yellowbrook Road. I know that’s been, probably, one of the more controversial ordinances.” Wasting no time, the Mayor quickly made her feelings known before the public, the Council, and the township’s professionals, leaving no margin for misunderstanding. “So, if I may, I’m voting ‘no’ on this ordinance,” declared Mayor Berger, as the members of the public applauded. She then threw the discussion out to the Council, asking, “Anybody else voting ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on [ordinance] twenty-seven?” While Deputy Mayor Richmond was not in attendance, the other members of the Council each took turns to informally vote against the ordinance. “This is deja vu to me,” said Councilman John Bonevich. “It’s like Groundhog’s Day. I voted ‘no’ in 2020. I would vote ‘no’ again tonight.” The petition submitted to the township opposed both ordinance 25 and ordinance 27, as the former set the definition for the zoning area, and the latter specified the area of town which would change. However, given that ordinance 25 did not deal with any particular specified property, it would not be subject to the Council requiring a super majority to pass it, according to Howell Township Director of Land Use, Matt Howard. This point was further clarified by Harney, who affirmed Howard’s assessment of the petition. Before the vote by the Council, Township Planner Jennifer Beahm further explained the ordinance to the members of the public, to assuage their concerns about its possible passage. As Beahm explained, ordinance 25 not only governs the Yellowbrook Road section of

town, but also other areas of the township near Randolph Road as stipulated in ordinance 26. For that reason, given that it set the parameters for two zoning changes, its passage was not deemed as serious as originally believed by the public. “While the governing body had indicated that the overlay on Yellowbrook Road is likely to not be successful,” Beahm explained, “the zoning standards established in this ordinance, 25, aﬀects properties not just there. I just want to make that abundantly clear.” “Regardless of what the sentiment is about 27,” said Clark to the Council, “and it appears that it’s going to die an early death, I still think you need to open it up for public hearing on [ordinance] 25.” With Beahm’s clarification, ordinance 25 passed unanimously, as did ordinance 26, setting the stage for the public discussion and official vote on ordinance 27. Ordinance 25 defines what SED-2 zoning is, while the other ordinances assign that zoning to specific areas. Yellowbrook Road was ordinance 27. Concerns aired by the public regarding the Yellowbrook Road area ranged from depletion of open space to increased traffic, particularly truck traffic, through the mixed-use zone. One of the more notable members of the public that was in attendance was Farmingdale Mayor James Daly, who took an opportunity to address Howell’s Council and township professionals. “Thank you for number 27,” said Daly in anticipation of the ordinance’s defeat. “That’s going to help us, and it takes a lot of my notes oﬀ the table tonight. I don’t believe anybody is really aware of how much truck traffic the new

asphalt plants have routed through Farmingdale on Main Street. I understand that the zoning is not changing over in that area. Hopefully, it’s not going to change down the road to aﬀect that, because it does detrimentally aﬀect Farmingdale currently, and opening that up down the road is going to really make it a bigger problem out of Main Street Farmingdale.” With the public comment portion of the meeting closed, the Council reached the point where it was ready to make the formal vote on the controversial ordinance, with Mayor Berger calling for a motion. “I’d like to make a motion to decline zero twenty-two twenty-seven,” said O’Donnell, punctuating the defeat of the ordinance. With that, the Council moved to its vote in opposition to the ordinance, which was roundly applauded by the attending public.

Bipartisan Agreement Would Stem Gun Violence Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Cory Booker (D- N.J.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Angus King (I-Maine), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) issued the following statement:

“Today, we are announcing a commonsense, bipartisan proposal to protect America’s children, keep our schools safe, and reduce the threat of violence across our country. Families are scared, and it is our duty to come together and get something done that will help restore their sense of safety and security in their communities. Our plan increases needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can’t purchase weapons. Most importantly, our plan saves lives while also protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. We look forward to earning broad, bipartisan support and passing our commonsense proposal into law.” The proposal provides resources to states

and tribes to create and administer laws that help ensure deadly weapons are kept out of the hands of individuals whom a court has determined to be a significant danger to themselves or others, consistent with state and federal due process and constitutional protections. There would be a national expansion of community behavioral health center model; major investments to increase access to mental health and suicide prevention programs; and other support services available in the community, including crisis and trauma intervention and recovery. Convicted domestic violence abusers and individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders are included in NICS, including those who have or have had a continuing relationship of a romantic or intimate nature. The agreement invests in programs to expand mental health and supportive services in schools, including: early identification

and intervention programs and school based mental health and wrap-around services. Additional funding would go to programs to help institute safety measures in and around primary and secondary schools, support school violence prevention eﬀorts and provide training to school personnel and students. Telehealth would be used to increase access to mental and behavioral health services for youth and families in crisis. It would also clarify the definition of a federally licensed firearms dealer. Criminals who illegally evade licensing requirements would see stiﬀer penalties. There would also be a crackdown on people who illegally straw purchase and traffic guns. For buyers under 21 years of age, an investigative period would be instituted to review juvenile and mental health records, including checks with state databases and local law enforcement.

$7.9M In Water Infrastructure Coming To Three Jersey Shore Towns

Continued From Page 1 Branch and are hoping they’re not next, but hope isn’t a plan.” Singer called for Governor Murphy and the Attorney General’s office to create a task force to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The task force he proposed would include participation from the New Jersey State Police, NJ Transit, the Monmouth and Ocean County prosecutors’ offices, sheriﬀs’ offices, and police chiefs’ associations. “There needs to be better coordination among state and local officials to respond to pop-up parties along with some sort of funding mechanism to help pay for the unexpected cost of calling in extra police to respond,” said Singer. “There also needs to be a real discussion about fixing our laws which prevent police from taking enforcement action for violations committed by minors. Kids know they can’t be touched and they’re taking advantage of it.” Some of these private homes are owned by businesses or landlords who live far away. It is sometimes difficult to find out who is responsible. A bill sponsored by Senator Sam Thompson (R-12th) would make it easier for municipalities to pursue rental property owners for building code violations. “So many rental units in our neighborhoods are being purchased by shell corporations that exist only on paper. When there are violations or other problems, municipal officials don’t know where to turn to get the issues resolved,” he said. Specifically, the bill would require LLCs to disclose the names of the company’s registered agent when recording deeds for

The grant will be used to purchase flexible seating for its classrooms such as standing desks, wobble chairs, fidget stations and more. “These options will ensure a comfortable learning environment for all students, help re-socialize students to the classroom setting and hopefully lead to a decrease in problematic behavior,” the statement said.

6th Annual American Red Cross Blood Drive

JACKSON – The 6th Annual American Red Cross Blood Drive Sponsored by Oliverie Funeral Home, 125 South Cooks Bridge Road Jackson, will be held on August 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Appointments preferred, visit redcrossblood.org and use sponsor code Oliverie or call 732-719-7250 for an appointment.

The Howell Times, June 25, 2022, Page 5 homes with as many as four dwelling units. “This would lift the veil of anonymity from limited liability companies that own residential property,” Thompson said. “When these corporations file a property deed with the local government, they would now have to identify the name of a responsible party.” The 10th District Legislators sponsored a bill that would expand the definition of a riot to include pop-up parties and enhance the penalties for crimes committed during them. “The events in Long Branch were a clear picture that local law enforcement needed reinforcements to control a crowd of that size,” said Senator Jim Holzapfel. “Underage drinking, vandalism and drug use were all on display with very little consequences to those in attendance. We have heard from countless residents and business owners who fear for their safety.” “We stand with our local mayors and public officials and call on our Governor to properly equip our small shore municipalities with the resources they need to protect the general public,” said Assemblyman McGuckin. “There is no reason that any town should have such influx of teens and young adults looking for a good time, especially, if they

are promoting this event via social media.” “This has become a serious public safety issue where all levels of government need to be involved to protect our residents. Riots, such as the one we saw in Long Branch, will continue to have a ripple effect on the tourism industry at the Jersey Shore,” added Assemblyman John Catalano. “Residents and vacationers will fear for their safety on our boardwalks and beaches and the business owners will suffer the consequences unless our Governor steps up and addresses this issue head on.” One option municipalities have is creating a curfew. For example, Toms River recently enacted one for the North Beach and Ortley Beach sections of town, which are on the barrier island. The curfew went into effect on June 13, and will last until September 30. Anyone 17 or younger who is outdoors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian from 11 p.m. through 5 a.m. There are exceptions to this rule, which include medical emergencies, jobs, private gatherings, and religious or educational functions. The minors can be out alone if they are running an errand for a parent or guardian. If caught violating the curfew, the child

could be charged with a disorderly person’s oﬀense, and would be subject to penalties imposed by the municipal court. This was in response to complaints by residents of “unruly behavior by juveniles” during the Memorial Day weekend, officials said. “The curfews worked well in 2020 and 2021,” said Mayor Maurice B. “Mo” Hill. “We had few if any disturbances during those seasons and we do not want a repeat of what happened during the Memorial Day weekend this year. With the threat of ‘pop-up’ parties being promoted on social media, we need to give our police officers the authority to maintain the peace in our family friendly beach communities.” The curfew is enacted under the authority of Governor Phil Murphy’s Executive Order No. 103 issued on March 9, 2020. “The goal and focus of this curfew is not to target children enjoying their time at the shore, but rather to address the destructive behavior we have experienced on both public and private property with large groups of juveniles. It is our responsibility to preserve the quality of life in our beach communities for everyone,” said Police Chief Mitch Little.

The library is open to all on weekend afternoons. By Gary Schoening FARMINGDALE - Most people assume that this cozy little borough doesn’t have a library and residents have to go elsewhere to find their reading interests. Readers need only travel as far as 48 Main Street to the Wainright House Museum, where Virginia Woolley has established a book repository open not only to Farmingdale residents but anyone looking for a convenient, no hassle library experience. “All you need to do is check out our collection, see what’s available and leave us your name and phone number,” said Mrs. Wooley, the founder and curator of the museum in the historic house that dates to the mid-18th century. “If the book is out on loan, we’ll call whoever has it and get it back in house.” There’s no library card or registration required. And best of all, no fees. Patrons can keep the books for as long as they want, Mrs. Woolley said, “as long as it’s reasonable.” The library is a long-standing dream of Mrs. Woolley, who turned to a friend, Linda Scott of Lakewood. Mrs. Scott has broad experience in establishing and running libraries during her business career, including a medical library in a hospital.

“For this library, we were interested in recent books, no more than 10 years old,” Mrs. Scott said. “When we were setting it up, we were very pleased with the donations we received. The collection makes for a good, what I call, browsing library.” Readers will find a variety of topics, including history, arts and crafts and even mysteries, in a dedicated room in the Wainright House that serves as the library. While the policy is to limit books to no more than a decade old, many are only two years old and some are new, Mrs. Woolley said. “All of the books have been read at least once, and those readers recommend what age group the book is suitable for,” she said. Organizers had hoped to start the library in 2020, but the pandemic put those plans on hold. The library was established after things started to return to normal. A formal grand opening is scheduled for Sunday, July 3, between 1 and 4 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Normal operating hours will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays. Further information is available at the Wainright House Museum.

Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fee

Marc S. Galella Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset which

does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full-service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

The Critical Metabolites That Impact Prostate Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Few words strike more fear than the word “cancer” and today’s article is devoted to helping you find out what critical metabolites should be evaluated. Prostate cancer is very common in the United States and was responsible for over 34,000 deaths in 2021. Early in the course of prostate cancer, before it’s even known, the growth of cancer cells is kept in check by natural, normal pathways in the body, usually those under the control of testosterone and related hormones known as androgens. These reproductive hormones deliver one signal to the prostate cancer cell telling them to “be fruitful and keep multiplying.” With continued replication, the cells pour out a protein called “prostate specific antigen” dubbed PSA. When the PSA levels are measured in a blood test, and seen as abnormal (above the normal reference range), the doctors worry this is a first sign of possible prostate cancer. Testing for PSA levels isn’t nearly enough. Neither is testing for testosterone levels, or DHT. There are so much more, and thankfully doctors can test you using urine “at home” test kits now. I oﬀer these at my website too. But right now, what I’d like to do is make sure you’re fully armed with the knowledge of important (measurable) biomarkers that are often overlooked as there’s so much hyper focus on PSA and DHT and a few others. Overlooking any one of the following could lead to more complications and progression of cancer at a faster rate. Testing yourself

properly is important to your health and longevity. Vitamin B12. Too much B12 may produce problems, and it is unclear if this is from the resulting elevation of homocysteine or some other mechanism. Measuring levels is important. Glutathione. Higher levels of glutathione are protective and useful as an antioxidant. This is pretty simple because in prostate cancer patients, antioxidant defenses are low and DNA damage is high. Glutathione protects the cell because it’s an antioxidant. Melatonin. The famous sleep hormone has anti-cancer activity, and has been studied for its protective eﬀect on the prostate gland. Did you know meditation raises levels? Testosterone. It is more the metabolites of testosterone, than the hormone itself. This is why urine metabolite testing is so important. Doing a spot check of testosterone in the morning via blood isn’t as informative unless you also have the metabolites from a urine test to compare with it. I recommend the DUTCH at-home test kit for this. Estrogen Metabolites. Men make estrogen as well as women, and it is the break down product (the metabolite) of testosterone! So, the more testosterone you make, the higher your estrogen levels… and if you’re breaking estrogen down badly, it raises risk for prostate problems. Urine testing via DUTCH can evaluate these metabolite levels, not blood testing.

NEW JERSEY – New Jersey American Water announced today the recipients of its 2022 Volunteer Fire and EMS Grant Program. This year, 23 volunteer fire and EMS departments located within the company’s service areas have been chosen to receive grants, totaling over $41,000, which will be used to support initiatives, training and/or upgraded equipment to help the responders better protect themselves and the communities they serve. “Safety is an integral part of our company and its culture. That is why we are proud to continue to support the everyday heroes that keep our communities safe through our Volunteer Firefighter and EMS Grant Program year after year,” said Mark

MONMOUTH COUNTY – The nationwide blood shortage continues. We urgently need people to make every eﬀort to donate blood!

Iannarella, Director of Health and Safety, New Jersey American Water and former volunteer firefighter, Pennsauken Fire Department. “These brave men and women work selflessly and tirelessly to safeguard our communities, and we hope these funds will make that task a bit easier.” This year’s grants will be used in various ways by each department including purchasing automatic external defibrillators, fire hoses, ice rescue suits, and other rescue equipment as well as important training courses and tools.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 25 - july 1 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Commitment is king. Making impulsive changes to your business plans or family budget can place you in an awkward position. Be true to your word in the week ahead and your honesty and loyalty should reap dividends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be wrapped up in romance as the week begins but pay attention to what is going on in the outside world, too. Tune into the news to remain aware of current events to avoid making serious career miscalculations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Feedback from your friends may vary from positive to negative in the week to come even if you only have the best intentions. Act according to the highest principles when you must make significant financial decisions. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Plant yourself where conditions can powerfully support your growth. Financial schemes and opportunities can be put to good use in the week ahead. Romantic partners may be more lovable than usual. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The secret to success is to focus on working closely with loved ones and partners to achieve worthwhile goals. Remain persistent despite any setbacks. Build something up in the week ahead rather than tearing something down. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Trying to use a friendship to dig for information can backfire. Too many questions may arouse suspicions or make someone feel that their boundaries have been crashed. A loved one’s common sense can be useful this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be too passionate about supporting your family to make permanent plans with unreliable people -- someone might change their mind at the last minute. The week ahead may clarify the evidence of someone’s trustworthiness. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Embrace an opportunity to express love and enjoy romance. Weave interesting people, ideas, and things into the web of your life as the week unfolds. Engage in a study or investigation that gives you fresh purpose. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Nurture your inner strengths in the upcoming week. You may be wiser and more astute about the practical aspects of life, especially when handling money. Avoid people who take advantage of your generosity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Yes, you may be lucky in love and lucky with money. However, life always requires demonstrating your intention by working hard, too. You may be motivated to pursue financial and material success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Following the group consensus might not be the best way to achieve your ambitions. In the week to come, a partner could set a good example of how to use drive, determination, and focus to help yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When you are in the right place at the right time, you can take advantage of sweet deals. Make the most of opportunities to strike a compromise in the week ahead to avoid misunderstandings and to be more successful.
