HOWELL – A lawsuit filed on behalf of the developer of primarily wooded land located at Michele Boulevard and Ramtown-Greenville Road contends the local planning board’s rejection of its subdivision application was “arbitrary, capricious, andWadsworthunreasonable.”Development, LLC, represented by attorney Michael W. Herbert, called upon the court to either grant preliminary major subdivision approval or compel Howell Township’s Planning Board to do so.

Stormwater management appeared to be a major factor in denying the application as the planning board said that “connecting another stormwater management system to a failed stormwater management system” would be detrimental on several accords to the Michele Boulevard community.

One of the exhibits to Herbert’s court filings included a letter sent to the attorney weeks after the final Planning Board hearing.

Robert Nicastro was the only planning board who was not present when the board voted to deny the Wadsworth application on June 16, 2022. There’s no way of knowing if Nicastro’s absence had anything to do with “Anonymous Howell’s” additional claim that Nicastro had a conflict in the application.
The letter writer also charged that select Planning Board members visited current Michele Boulevard residents to ask them to back off on their opposition to the project. It remains to be seen whether or not there’s any validity to the nameless claims.
The Planning Board conducted three separate public hearings on Wadsworth’s application on November 4, 2021, December 16, 2021, and April 28, 2022. All of the hearings were held using remote access on the Zoom Propertyplatform.owners of Michele Boulevard residences pay membership fees as part of the Michele Boulevard Homeowners Association. From all accounts, the $80 monthly rate goes to dealing with stormwater management issues. Unfortunately, HOA members claim they’re already experiencing problems and feel additional development will cause more issues with runoffs.
While other Michele Boulevard homeowners expressed similar concerns to Mauer, environmental issues also surfaced. At the December 16, 2021 hearing, Wadsworth’s environmental expert, Dr. Thomas Hundt, PE, LSRP, testified with respect to a 1,000 gallon storage tank that no exceedances were found in the soil. Samples taken in the area of three above-ground storage tanks also came back negative.

Mauer added his personal opinions that Wadsworth’s development plans did not fit in from an aesthetic viewpoint. The HOA president also felt an increase in traffic on Michele Boulevard could present safety issues for neighborhood pedestrians and bicyclists.
“It disrupts the character of the neighborhood,” said Mauer. “We’re talking about the lot frontage sizes. We have 200 feet where we have four houses; there are eight houses going there...and it doesn’t look right...it’s very odd looking.”
“Permeable pavement only works when it’s kept at optimal conditions,” Michele Boulevard resident Jason Asch asserted. “Who’s going to maintain this product in an optimal condition?”

The subdivision application allotted 10.03 acres on the northern portion of the property to be used as open Michelespace.Boulevard is a small street in the Ramtown section of Howell, containing homes with a minimum of 3,200 square feet of living space and an excess of 2 acres of property. A four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on Michele Boulevard sold for $920,000 in July of this year.
Additional Michele Boulevard residents showed up at the April 28, 2022 to reiterate their opposition to the homes facing their street. Some homeowners said they appreciated Wadsworth’s decision to rectify plans for a larger buffer with more trees remaining on Michele Boulevard. Nonetheless, others felt that the larger driveways and trees on permeable pavement created an additional problem.
of reasons. Among them was that the proposal called for the removal of a substantial number of trees on the open space lot and also lead to the development of a stormwater structure. Not only would this not promote the preservation of contiguous open wooded space, but its benefit would also only be to the applicant – and not the public.
Joe Mauer, who identified himself as the president of the Michele Boulevard HOA, spoke at the hearings. Mauer detailed the existing trouble with a failed catch basin and drainage issues that he felt would be further impacted if the project went through as planned.

Today’s tax code contains two sets of rules: one for regular wage and salary workers who report virtually all the income they earn; and another for wealthy taxpayers, who are often able to avoid a large share of the taxes they owe… estimates from academic researchers suggest that more than $160 billion lost annually is from taxes that top 1 percent choose not to pay.”

How many additional traffic lights may be needed to make the road safely functional? Money for more lights in town could be better spent at other bottlenecks.Lastbut not least, what provision will be made for the geese crossing Parker Ave. by the lake? I drive by there once a week, and several times a year I encounter a carcass.Bottom line, how much money in tax increases do you want to spend for a road extension that will be of limited use to Lacey residents?

On a practical note, it appears to me that the most benefit of a road extension would be for transient traffic heading to Waretown and points south. Anyone living in Lacey any length of time knows alternative paths.

Health Experts Recommend Updated Vaccine Booster
From The Desk Of The Governor
Phil Murphy
TRENTON – Individuals ages 12 and older are now able to obtain a COVID-19 bivalent
booster dose, which should be received two months after their most recent booster or primary series. This updated version of COVID-19 boosters offers stronger protections against severe illness and death from Omicron sub-variants.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ahead of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) outlined his top policy objectives that have the potential to dramatically improve nutrition and reduce hunger and diet related diseases in the U.S. The Conference will be held on September 28, 2022 and is the largest whole-of-government initiative to improve the national food system in more than 50 Bookeryears.urged for better integration of Food as Medicine – programs that integrate the power of food to prevent and treat diet-related disease – into federal healthcare.

People can get the bivalent booster if it has been at least two months since they have completed their primary vaccination series or two months after they have received the most recent booster dose with any authorized or approved monovalent COVID-19 vaccine.Inits statement, the CDC said in the coming weeks, the agency also expects to recommend updated COVID-19 boosters for other pediatric groups. When data are available and FDA authorizes these other types of COVID-19 boosters, CDC will quickly move to help make them available in the United States, according to the statement.“Ifyouare eligible, there is no bad time to get your COVID-19 booster and I strongly encourage you to receive it,” said CDC Director Rochelle P.

COVID-19 primary series vaccines continue to be recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older, and COVID-19 boosters are recommended for every eligible individual ages 5 years and older. Going forward, bivalent boosters will be the sole version of COVID-19 boosters available to anyone ages 12 years and older.

New Jersey has received allocations of both Pfizer and Moderna bivalent boosters, which are being delivered to vaccine providers. Over 800 sites are expected to have bivalent booster doses in the coming days. Individuals can fi nd locations offering the boosters on the COVID-19 Vaccine Finder and Community Calendar at covid19.nj.gov
Sen. Booker worked with Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) and U.S. Representatives James P. McGovern (D-MA) and Jackie Walorski (R-IN) on bipartisan, bicameral legislation (S.3064/H.R.5724) to help establish the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. In August, he hosted a listening session with New Jersey anti-hunger advocates, state officials, and agricultural stakeholders in advance of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health scheduled for September.

Very little progress will be made to improve our diet and reduce diet-related disease if ultra-processed foods go unchecked,” Booker continued. “In order to substantially reduce diet-related disease, the FDA should require mandatory reductions of excessive sodium and added sweeteners including sugars.”
“Programs such as medically tailored meals and produce prescriptions should become covered benefits by Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Administration in order to prevent and manage chronic disease.”
who are incarcerated in federal prisons,” Booker explained. “An executive order requiring the use of the FSG would change our government purchasing to improve health and reduce long-term healthcare costs. Procurement consistent with the FSG would also support healthy food purchases from independent family farmers and help address climate change. In addition, all federal agencies should make a vegetarian entrée available everywhere that federal government cafeterias are serving meals.”
Booker also called upon President Biden to issue an Executive Order to require use of the Food Service Guidelines for Federal Facilities (FSG) for food and beverages sold and served at federally owned and operated facilities, which would ensure that healthy food is available on federal property. “Millions of people rely on federal food service operations, including federal employees, veterans in Veterans Affairs hospitals, members of the armed services, and people
“As we continue to adapt our response to COVID-19 to protect public health, these new boosters have been updated to target commonly-circulating variants in order to guard individuals against severe illness this fall,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “I continue to encourage everyone to get vaccinated and to stay up to date on their boosters, as vaccines are our greatest tool in the fight against

So far this year, 41 people have died as the result of roadway incidents which surpasses numbers recorded over the past four years.
“We are seeking the public’s help in preventing as many of these traffic accidents as possible, by taking proactive steps to stay safe and protect one another,” Linskey said. “It is an absolute imperative that we do everything in our power, across every level of law enforcement, to seek to ensure that this is a trend that gets quickly reversed.”
“Each of these 41 individuals left behind people who loved them – people who never dreamed that they would be gone so soon,” Linskey said. “And none of them imagined the last morning they woke up that their lives would be so tragically and violently cutLinskeyshort.”said that the solution is simple:
Drivers should also be cautions on highways. Although 13 fatal incidents have taken place this year on local and back roads, the other 21 all occurred on highways, including six on the Garden State Parkway and six on Route 9.
“If you consume any alcohol or drugs, don’t get behind the wheel. Don’t use your cell phone while driving. Obey posted speed limits and road signs. Only cross the street in a marked crosswalk, and only when you have the right of way. And wear a seat belt for every trip, every time, no matter how short,” Linskey said.
AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE
Seven of the incidents involved a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs, with seven more incidents currently under review, as results of toxicology tests remain pending. MCPO said that each pedestrian killed was not in a marked crosswalk at the time they were struck.

“Even one death on Monmouth County roadways is one too many,” added Manasquan Police Chief Michael Bauer, President of the Monmouth County Police Chiefs Association. “I and my fellow Police Chiefs stand in fi rm solidarity on this issue, resolutely pledging to leverage every strategic enforcement tool available to us in an effort to protect the safety and security of our motorists and pedestrians.”
“New Jersey is a crowded state, with innumerable motorists in a great hurry to arrive at their destination, but gaining a few extra minutes is never a fair trade for putting your or someone else’s life at risk. All of us must exercise a little more patience and understanding, in order to arrive alive,” Linskey said.
MONMOUTH COUNTY – With several fatal accidents occurring this summer, Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey and the county’s police chiefs are urging locals to drive with caution as the summer season comes to a close.
According to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office (MCPO), a total of 13 people died in July from car accidents within Monmouth County. The MCPO stated that this is the highest number recorded in any month since 2014.
The ages of these victims ranged from 3-years-old to 92. In July, deaths include a mother and her youngest child, a son and both of his parents, and a group of three friends traveling together, MCPO said.
According to an analysis conducted by the Prosecutor’s Office, these 41 deaths resulted from 34 separate events, including 26 collisions and eight instances of a pedestrian being struck and killed by a car. About half of those killed from collisions were not wearing a seat belt at the time of impact, the MCPO said.

Christopher R. Shea Esq.
In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act.
In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner.
Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered.

WALL – Wall High School 2022 graduates Kiley and Kimberly Hubbard and Angelina Gabuzda have been awarded scholarships from the Sharing Network Foundation for their passion and dedication to raising awareness of organ and tissue donation.
Page 12, The Howell Times, September 10, 2022 jerseyshoreonline.com
Twin sisters Kiley and Kimberly Hubbard were chosen for their outstanding efforts while working with the Wall High School Donate Life Club and as volunteer advocates for NJ Sharing Network. Their powerful connections to organ and tissue donation and transplantation began shortly after their birth as Kiley was born with renal failure. For the fi rst five years of her life, Kiley was kept alive thanks to dialysis treatments three days per week. On March 30, 2010, Kiley’s primary school speech therapist donated one of her kidneys to Kiley. A successful transplant saved Kiley and gave her a second chance at life. Kiley and Kimberly both served as powerful inspirational speakers when presenting to classmates about the gift of life. Kiley plans to attend Monmouth University and Kimberly plans to attend the University of Maryland in the Fall.
Residential Dementia
Local Graduates Raised Awareness Of Organ And Tissue Donation
High School’s Donate Life Club in honor of his good friend Luke’s powerful story. Angelina joined the club as vice president when she was a freshman. When it was Angelina’s turn to take the reigns as president, she expanded schoolwide activities including decorating the hallways with green ribbons during Donate Life Month and appearing on the Crimson TV morning show with a “thought for the day” or “wise words of wisdom” in reference to the importance of organ and tissue donation. Angelina also led the club with various hands-on activities, including spearheading the design of a Donate Life Meditation Garden in the school’s courtyard. Angelina plans to attend Savannah College of Art and Design in the Fall. Kiley and Kimberly’s scholarships were made possible thanks to the Sharing Network Foundation’s Missy’s Miracle Scholarship Fund, which was created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Melissa “Missy” Rodriguez’s life-saving liver transplant. A resident of Short Hills, NJ, Rodriguez was 10 years old when she received a successful liver transplant to save her life. Now more than 30 years later, Missy continues to lead an active, fulfilling life as an accomplished athlete, successful student earning two graduate degrees, and, most importantly, the mother of three healthy boys. Established in 2015, Missy’s Miracle Scholarship Fund has raised more than $75,000 towards scholarships for high school students and additional programs supporting organ and tissue donation awareness.
In 2016, Angelina Gabuzda was in middle school when she began learning about the importance of organ and tissue donation after Wall High School student Luke Bautista tragically passed away at the age of 15. Bautista’s donated heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas, and tissue saved the lives of five people and enhanced the lives of many others. Angelina’s brother Colin, who was in high school at the time, founded the Wall

Joints are meant to last a lifetime, and for some people they do! But for others, joints wear out and start to ache. Old injuries can give rise to pain later on in life. Over 50 million people have arthritis today, and conventional medicine’s answer is a pill. It’s usually an NSAID like ibuprofen. This can work temporarily. It’s not right for everyone though, especially those with ulcers, or heart disease.
4. Vitamin D - Naturally synthesized in the human body after exposure to sunlight. It is a fact that people who have low levels of vitamin D often have joint pain, and/ or osteoporosis. Vitamin D supplements would be an effective adjunctive supplement that you can take if you have chronic joint pain and it is particularly helpful for BOTH autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, as well as osteoarthritis.

understand that it is NOT a sulfa pill. Sulfur is the third most common and abundant element in your beautiful human body! It is found in great amounts in your nails, your hair, and your skin. Your body requires sulfur to make collagen.

4 Natural Alternatives to Drugs to Relieve Joint Pain Fast
3. Hyaluronic acid - Arthritic joints are deficient in natural hyaluronic acid, so over time, it leads to the cartilage becoming less squishy and pliable. The stiffer a joint is, the more likely there is pain and inflammation. Hyaluronic acid holds moisture like a sponge, it’s a plumper as in Restylane®and Juvederm® which are two popular facial fillers. Hyaluronic acid may be injected into your joint, for example, your knee. It will not cure anything serious, like if you need a knee replacement… but for simpler problems, an injection of this can bring relief for 2 or 3 months. It can be taken orally as well.
THE YOU DESERVE
1. Curcumin - Books have been written on the topic of curcumin and pain relief! It’s a strong anti-inflammatory component of turmeric spice extract. Most people think it is just “curcumin” that works, but recent research proves three different curcuminoids work even better, and you’ll find those in high-quality supplements.
2. MSM - Methylsulfonylmethane provides the body with natural, healing sulfur. This is one component necessary for healthy joints. MSM is sold in health food stores because it is an extremely common ingredient that supports joint health, and it cleans the body up. Sometimes people get scared to take MSM because they don’t
CARE
The latest studies on osteoarthritis suggest that people who are above their healthy BMI make their pain much worse due to additional pressure on the joints. Also, a diet high in soda, carbs, and sugary foods will exacerbate pain. But there are things you can do. Let’s go through some easy things right now.

Recentlyold.my dog Andi and I took our usual walk around 9 p.m. I noticed a single bat flying overhead. Spotting the bat was particularly easy since there was cloud cover in the evening sky. We stopped, observed a second and then a third bat. I have seen bats before but it’s always a thrill, especially knowing how beneficial they are for the environment. So why not look up at the sky some evening and see how many bats you can spot.
“Betsy was known for always giving the perfect gift for every occasion and her last gift was the greatest gift of all - the gift
JERSEY SHORE Bats make up approximately 20% of all mammal species around the globe with over 1200 species. There are three types of bats – insect-eating, fruit-eating, and yes, blood-sucking (known as vampire bats). But fear not, the latter lives in Central and South America. Here in New Jersey, there are 6 year-round species of bats. The ones humans are most likely to encounter are big brown bats and little brown bats. These bats consume half their body weight each night. Since bats are nocturnal, the benefit of controlling insects is not witnessed by most people. Without them, insects would exist beyond our control. The survival of the rain forests rely heavily on bats in contributing to the regrowth of the forests. The more bats in a community the fewer pesticides have to be used. More than 250 plants that produce foods rely on pollinating bats, a money-saving tool for farmers.

Scholarship applicants were measured on academic achievement, community and volunteer efforts, extracurricular activities and advocacy for organ and tissue donation. Applications were reviewed by fund principals and the Sharing Network Foundation’s Scholarship Committee of select board members.

During daylight hours bats form colonies and dwell inside their natural habitat of caves, tunnels and hollowed-out trees. Other dwellings might include barns, attics, and basements. Most bats in the U.S. mate in the fall, just before hibernation. Birth
Bat caves and tours exist in New Jersey (Bat Care Property, Hibernia; The Wildlife Conservation & Education Center, Garfield; Wildcat Ridge Wildlife Management Area-Bat Hibernaculum Area, Rockaway, to name a few).
“We are grateful for the generous support of our partner funds and their ongoing commitment to rewarding students who share a commitment to our life-saving mission,” said Amanda Tibok, Interim Executive Director, Sharing Network Foundation. “We know that all of our scholarship recipients will continue as strong leaders educating others about donation and transplantation throughout their college years and beyond.”
According to United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), there are over 100,000 Americans – nearly 4,000 of whom live in New Jersey – waiting for a life-saving transplant. Just one organ and tissue donor can save eight lives and enhance the lives of over 75 people. To learn more, get involved and register as an organ and tissue donor, visit www.NJSharingNetwork.org.
“I Network to help educate our local communities about the power of organ and tissue donation,” said Rodriguez. “Kiley and Kimberly serve as perfect examples of what it means to take an active role in supporting these important outreach efforts.”
It is illegal to possess or relocate wildlife for any reason without the proper New Jersey state and/or federal permits.
Angelina’s scholarship was made possible thanks to the Sharing Network Foundation’s Betsy Niles Scholarship Fund, which was created in memory of Elizabeth “Betsy” Niles, a lifelong Montclair resident who passed away in 2011 after a tragic accident. Niles spent most of her career in educational publishing and was passionate about helping to improve the education system. Her organ and tissue donations touched the lives of over three dozen people, including a life-saving kidney transplant for one recipient.DanSarnowski of Sparta, Niles’ loving companion, established The Betsy Niles Scholarship Fund in 2014. Sarnowski and Niles’ family decided the best way to honor Betsy was through supporting education programs. The Fund has raised over $100,000 to date, through fundraisers and events such as the 5K Celebration of Life Team Betsy’s Dash.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may demonstrate good taste in the week ahead but could also spend money that was put aside for something else. You can’t foresee everything, but you can learn from everything to do it better next time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could project your fantasies on others in the upcoming week. You may have a blind spot and only see what you hope to see. Today isn’t a good time to start a new business relationship or make any major decisions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t get involved in a family squabble. You may be itching to take matters into your own hands, but it is better to relax and be patient and stay in your lane. By the end of the week, a tense situation will probably be resolved.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Good etiquette is essential. Go the extra mile to keep others fully informed now. People who seem impersonal or impatient could get under your skin, but you may need their good will later this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Prepare thoroughly and show up well-rehearsed. In the upcoming week, demonstrate your loyalty and integrity if you want to impress your friends and loved ones. Notice the tiny miracles of everyday life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be open to love. Your romantic nature may get a glowup in the week to come. You may want to be admired for being an active participant but you should not take on additional duties or make crucial decisions today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A debate can develop into a drama. Someone might get triggered and seem like a competitor when you merely want to have a conversation. In the coming week, you may need to focus on achieving congenial compromises.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Respond based on who you are, not on who they are. As the week unfolds, you may encounter people who test your strength of character; do not give in to temptation. Focus on having a happy and pleasant family life.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do not blow off any obligations, even if you really want to escape routines and satisfy an urge to break out of a late-summer rut. Proceed cautiously -- what seems good now may lose its luster later this week.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Remain focused on reaching your objectives without arguing about them. Be prepared to honor all your commitments in the week ahead. If you take your time, you could earn everyone’s respect and admiration.
