Howell Communities Clean-Up Day

HOWELL – April 16 is Community Cleanup Day. Families, scout troops, sport teams and businesses are all invited to volunteer.

Volunteers are to meet at Town Hall, 4567 Route 9 North at 9:30 a.m. Supplies will be provided. Lunch and awards will follow the cleanup.

Last year’s event was a huge success and the township is expecting an even bigger turnout this year. Volunteers will meet at Town Hall at 9:30 a.m. for registration. Groups will be given a designated road to clean conducive to the children’s age along with gloves, bags and safety vests. Groups (Clean Up - See Page 4)

‑Photos from Howell Times archive A committee founded by three residents hopes to garner enough signatures to recall Deputy Mayor Robert Nicastro. Among the reasons is the opinion that local officials did not represent resident opinions opposed to PILOT approvals in town, such as for a West Farms road proposed development.

By Jennifer Peacock and Catherine Galioto HOWELL – After three attempts at certification, the committee to recall Deputy Mayor Robert Nicastro finally submitted to the township clerk a petition that met muster. The petition is now available at TakeBackHowell.com in an attempt to gather the thousands of required sig-

natures to put a recall question on the November ballot.

Township Clerk Penny Wollman rejected the first petition’s intent to recall, because the rebuttal provided by Nicastro wasn’t contained within the petition. With that corrected, the petition was rejected a second time by the clerk’s office due to group’s correction of Nicastro’s spelling

and grammatical errors.

The third petition was approved March 28 by Wollman.

Nicastro did not respond to several attempts to reach him for comment.

“There are businesses in Howell, and our local surrounding area, that will give a veteran’s discount or a military discount on purchases, membership fees, rentals, restaurants and Veteran’s Day special meals as per the policies of the participating businesses,” Dixel said.

She said she put together the list of businesses for the council as a way of welcoming military members into the community.

“All of these businesses will provide various types of military discounts that should

Howell. On the group’s website, they say the recall is not “politically” motivated.

O’Donnell writes on the Take Back Howell website that the impetus behind the recall is to “take advantage of the timing of the upcoming national general election,” and they seek to unseat Nicastro with a recall election, also called a vote of “no confidence” of Nicastro because “we do not have a township government that is representative of the best interests of the residents of Howell.”

By statute, recall petitions can focus only on one official.

“We are focusing on Mr. Nicastro because he is the Deputy Mayor. Mr. Nicastro and the Mayor are on the planning board; [Pauline] Smith and [Robert] Walsh are not. The Mayor’s term is up January 1, 2017. This effort is aimed at stopping the political ‘merry go round.’ This recall site

will return at approximately noon for awards and lunch.

This is a program that helps to keep neighborhoods “clean and green.” The Clean Communities program is looking for scouts, families, sport teams, church groups and

does not address other council members at this time,” O’Donnell said.

The committee is looking to secure 10,000 signatures, almost a third of all registered voters in Howell. The petition, if enough signatures are gathered, will put the question on the November 2016 ballot to recall Nicastro.

The recall efforts began shortly after an issue with affordable housing in the township, as approved by the township and planning board, which Nicastro addressed in his rebuttal.

The Committee to Recall Robert Nicastro from the Office of Howell Council released a statement in March that clarified the group’s position: they are not against affordable housing, but are against the deaf ears their voices have fallen on.

One such proposal was for West Farms Road, for a 72-unit housing complex, where 150-plus attendees came out to hear, and circulated a petition in opposition. The complex required the rezoning

of 27 acres from highway development (HD-1 zoning) to Reserve Mount Laurel District 2, which is a zoning designation for affordable housing, and the council approved the use of payment in lieu of taxes for the developer.

“The use of a PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) is one of the real issues of this recall. A PILOT is a payment, made to compensate a local government for some or all of the tax revenue that it loses because of the nature of the ownership or use of a particular piece of real property.

In ordinary times a PILOT was granted for the re-development or rehabilitation of land or properties which would not otherwise become usable and productive,” the March statement said. “In the case of Howell Township it is being demanded, in writing, by builders; and our Township Council and Boards are allowing it. This shows failed leadership.”

The group said that Nicastro voted for development that would hurt taxpayers,

and that he and other members of Council failed to listen to the wishes of Howell residents. Nicastro, in his rebuttal, asked to speak “the truth” about his stance.

“It’s not fair to force Howell to have to build homes on lots and locations that are not suitable. I’m against overdevelopment and I will continue to fight to protect Howell and keep it a great place to live.

Recalling me will not make affordable housing disappear,” Nicastro said. “The fight is with the Trenton Legislature.”

Now that the intent to recall’s petition is certified by the clerk, recall organizers need at least 8,691 signatures from residents registered to vote in the last general election to move the recall effort forward.

The number of signatures is required by state election law to be equal to 25 percent of registered voters.

The signatures would need to be submitted for approval within 160 days from March 28, the date the intent to recall was approved by the township clerk.

C ommentary Letters To The Editor

Featured Letter All Deserve Access To Healthy Food

According to a recent repor t by The Food Tr u s t , t h e He a lt hy Corner Store Initiative has helped to improve healthy food access in lower-income communities throughout New Jersey. The Food Tr ust, the New Jersey Par t nership for Healthy Kids and the American Heart Association convened a statewide task force to examine and address the needs of communities which lack access to nutritious foods.

For many New Jerseyans, access to healthy, fresh foods is simply not an option. Without ready access to a supermarket, many residents shop at corner stores w h i c h of t e n s t o c k low-nut r it ive food s high in sugar and fat.

A poor diet, including t hose h ig h i n sat urated fats, trans fat, sodium, sweets and sugar-sweetened bev-

erages, can increase risk for heart disease and stroke according to the American Heart Association.

T he New Jersey Healthy Corner Store Initiative, along with support from legislation called the Healthy Food Retailer Act (A1877, S-1129), could make a positive health and economic impact in the Garden State.

Not only do these initiatives improve access to healthy foods but they also help generate tax revenue and create jobs.

Don’t all New Jerseyans deserve access to healthy, fresh food?

You can help improve the health and quality of life for New Jersey residents by encouraging your legislator to support these important bills.

Company Needs To Patrol For Dead Street Lights I appreciate the interest and focus of the letter from Bob Martino (The Times, March 5, 2016, “Get What You Pay For”) regarding the cost to taxpayers for street lights in Berkeley Township and the steps to take in reporting a non-functional one.

There are at least 12 non-working street lights along Route 9, North and South, from Berkeley Plaza (Shop-Rite) and Rite-Aid to Wells Mills Road in Waretown. I drive this route every Saturday evening to and from Albert Hall in Waretown. Although most of the non-working lights I see are in Lacey and Ocean Townships, it benefits the safety of all residents of Ocean County if there were a more efficient method in place to deal with non-lit street lamps than that suggested by Bob Martino.

Unless one lives in a residential neighborhood, it is difficult to identify one along the highway. During daylight hours it is impossible to determine a non-working light. During daylight hours and after sundown, it is dangerous to stop along the shoulder of the road to read a pole number.

I suggest that a JCP&L company worker or a county/state road maintenance worker periodically patrol Route 9 in the county portion of the road after sundown to identify a faulty light. A suitable vehicle with blinking emergency

lights is safer on the shoulder of the highway than that of an ordinary citizen in his personal vehicle.

Of course, if one can safely identify a non-working light in Berkeley Township then follow Bob Martin’s instructions given in his letter.

He suggests that you call JCP&L at 888-544-4877 with the location and pole number.

Re: “Origin of Morals”

In response to the recent letter, “Origin of Morals.”

Those who claim the Bible as the source of morality, have obviously never read it from beginning to end.

No one in their right mind would consider the people of biblical times as role models for morality.

Nur t ure a child f rom birth with love, respect and care, and you’ll likely create a well adjusted member of society, who will treat others with the same respect and care. It is only common sense to strive at creating a better world to live in. Isn’t that what morality is all about?

Making the world a better place for us and all those who come after us. Reason, logic, and cr itical thinking is the origin of morality.

charismatic Pied Piper, no matter what they say?

We have had almost eight years of this type of leadership. Have Americans been so du mbed dow n that they will believe any political con artist? I can understand the anger and frustration with politics, but the voters themselves helped create this mess!

Yo u h a ve p e o pl e w h o vote only for what’s-in it-for-me; and those who a re loyal on ly to t hei r pa r t y, no mat ter what.

What about being loyal to what’s right and good for the whole country!

We have one popular ca nd id at e who je opa rdized the security of the nation, then lied about it; another is a socialist that wants to give ever yone free everything--but the problem with socialism is you quick ly r u n out of other people’s money.

Then you have the magician that is going to fix whatever ails America, but no specif ic plan on how he is going to pull the rabbit out of the hat.

And the list goes on.

We all want a strong, loy a l , s el f- s a c r i f ic i n g leader. But we as Americans need to look in the mir ror. You cannot lift others to a level higher than the one on which you st and, and actions speak louder than words.

Having inf luence is not about elevating yourself, but about lifting others.

The sad part is our children are going to inherit this mess. My advice is, don’t check your brain at the voting booth.

Address Gender Wage Gap AARP supports a bill (S9 9 2) a w a i t i n g G ov.

Chris Christie’s signature that would tremendously help women facing employment discrimination in pay and benefits. This bi- pa r t is a n leg islat ion should be made law to address continuing and persistent gender-based wage discrimination.

In 2014, female f ulltime workers made only 79 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 21 percent.

The gender gap is worse for minority women. In 2012 the median an nual earnings of Hispanic women were $28,424, just 54 percent of the median annual earnings of white men.

Unless we act now, most women currently working will be long retired before equal pay for men and women is a common practice. According to projections from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, we’ll have to wait until 2058 – 42 years from now – before the gap in paychecks between men and women employed in the same occupations is expected to close.

Women’s earnings are ever more impor tant to their families. More than 40 percent of children under 18 live in households where the mother is the sole breadwinner.

Gov. Christie: Do the r ig ht t h i ng for women and their families. Please sign S992.

Condolences From Mayor & Council On The Passing Of Farmingdale Mayor Jay Morgan

William Gotto HOWELL – On behalf of myself, the members of the Howell Township

Council and administration, and the residents of Howell, we send our condolences to the residents of Farmingdale on the passing of Mayor Jay Morgan.

For more than a decade Mayor Morgan was a ded-

icated public servant working tirelessly to provide the highest quality of life for the residents he was so proud to serve.

As our closest neighbor, our friend Mayor Morgan was a fixture at the many

civic events honoring Howell’s citizens, veterans, and emergency ser vice personnel. Jay’s presence was always welcomed in our Council chambers and I always felt I had a friend in the audience when I looked

out and saw his smiling face.

In addition to his official duties as an elected official, Jay Morgan was also an active volunteer in his community and was a fixture at every Howell Day

event helping out the local Lions Club.

His strong and caring presence will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the residents of Farmingdale at this time.

From The Desk Of The Monmouth County Freeholders -Director Lillian G. Burry, Deputy Director Gary J. Rich Sr., John P. Curley, Thomas A. Arnone and Serena DiMaso.

MONMOUTH COUNTY – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders is continuing its springtime partnership with the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties and collecting non-perishable food for the entire month of April.

“The challenge of feeding the hungry never ends,” said Freeholder John P. Curley, liaison to Social Services. “Some families are struggling to make ends meet and the FoodBank is an invaluable asset in providing assistance. April is when we especially focus our efforts on replenishing their shelves to supply them with non-perishable items that help people get through difficult times. If everyone donates one or two items, we can support a large group of people who otherwise would go hungry.”

This is the fifth consecutive year the county has partnered with the FoodBank’s drive in April. This year’s goal is to collect 12,000 pounds of non-perishable food.

“Hunger never takes a holiday,” stated Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. “April is the critical time to collect food items as the FoodBank’s pantry typically runs low after helping people get through the winter. There are many convenient locations throughout the county where donations will be accepted. This is a wonderful way to show our care for those less fortunate.”

Collection bins will be avail-

Freeholders Sponsor Annual April Food Drive

able at many county locations, including the County Hall of Records, the County Clerk’s Office, Sheriff’s Office, Prosecutor’s Office, Agriculture Building, Longstreet Farm, Manasquan Reservoir Environmental Center, Belford Ferry Terminal and Monmouth County branch libraries.

The branches of the Monmouth County Library System will be participating all month. Locations include: Library’s Headquarters in Manalapan, Eastern Branch in Shrewsbury, Allentown, Atlantic Highlands, Colts Neck, Hazlet, Holmdel, Howell, Marlboro, Ocean Township, Oceanport, Wall and West Long Branch.

“The Monmouth County Library System is a major public gathering place in many communities and it makes sense for these locations to serve as main collection points for the food drive,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Library System. “Residents can contribute canned items whether borrowing or returning a book or attending a presentation.

“Library patrons who have overdue books or outstanding fines, can have their fees forgiven during National Library Week,” said Burry. “The ‘Food for Fines’ program is a good way to get outstanding material returned to the library and help a good cause all at the same time.”

The drive will work this way:

patrons who have outstanding materials will bring their food to the library counter during National Library Week (April 10 to 16). The libraries will reduce the fines by $1 for every food item donated. People who do not have fines can donate food as well.

Food items suitable for donation are non-perishable, protein-rich foods such as peanut butter, granola bars and tuna fish. Other most needed food items are ready-to-eat canned meals, canned fruits, canned vegetables, instant potatoes, canned and dry soup, canned pork and beans, canned juices, sip-size juices and hot and cold cereal.

April is National County Government Month, sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo).

NACo’s purpose is to increase the public awareness of county governments, their operations and services. The County Freeholders believe the food drive is an excellent way to achieve this goal.

“The FoodBank’s shelves are empty,” said Curley. “This month long food drive will help the fill the shelves at time of year when donations are unusually low. There are so many residents in need and we all need to do our part to help our friends and neighbors.”

The list of donation locations is below: Atlantic Highlands – Atlantic Highlands Library, 100 First Ave.

Colts Neck – Colts Neck Library, 1 Winthrop Dr. Freehold Borough – Hall of Records and Annex, 1 E. Main St.; County Clerk’s Office 33 Mechanic St.; Prosecutor’s Office, 132 Jerseyville Ave.; Sheriff’s Office, 2500 Kosloski Road; Monmouth County Agriculture Building, 4000 Kozloski Road; Human Services Building, 3000 Kozloski Road; Public Works Complex, 250 Center St.; Fire Academy, 1027 Rt. 33 and Special Services, 300 Halls Mills Road.

– Photos courtesy of Howell Inferno/Joe Amato The boys on the Howell Inferno team learn valuable life-saving skills.

HOWELL – Howell Inferno is more than just a seventh grade Boys AAU Basketball Organization. The team is actively involved in helping the community. On March 22, the boys participated in the Community of Life Savers program, instructed by Meridian Health, where they learned CPR and hands on life saving skills. The boys were excited about learning this procedure and felt comfortable afterwards that if someone needed help they would be able to step up to the plate.

Previously, the boys volunteered at K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital at Jersey Shore University Hospital, Neptune and the Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Jackson.

Howell Inferno’s mission is to play competitive basketball while setting up a foundation of good character for their young players. There is no greater reward then giving of your time to make someone else’s life better or at least a little easier.

Meridian Health partnered with the American Heart Association and created the Community of Life Savers program. They feel that when people are equipped with the skills to perform CPR, survival rates can double or even triple.

The program was launched in Monmouth and Ocean Counties in March 2014. Meridian’s program is offered at no cost to schools, students and small groups. For more information, visit MeridianHealth.com.

Walking Tour Of Old Monmouth Sites

ALLAIRE – The Walking Tour of Old Monmouth takes place 11 a.m. on April 30 and 4 p.m. on May 1.

The Historic Village at Allaire is one of the stops on the Walking Tour of Old Monmouth. This weekend, historic sites across Monmouth County open their doors to the public who can explore history of their home county. The roughly 40-site tour was created by the Monmouth County Historical Commission and includes several stops in Wall, Freehold and other local sites. The Historic Village at Allaire will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days.

The Historic Village at Allaire, the nonprofit living history museum receives no funding from the State of New Jersey and so relies on donations, admissions and purchases made at the General Store and Bakery to continue teaching the public about life in New Jersey in 1836.

For more information, call the office, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 732-919-3500.

The annual “Weekend in Old Monmouth” returns with 43 historic sites throughout Monmouth County opening their doors to visitors interested in local history.

“Weekend in Old Monmouth is a wonderful event for anyone interested in our

rich history and unique architecture,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the County’s Historical Commission, coordinator of the weekend event. “The sites on the tour are generally operated independently of one another, but for two days the entrance fees are waived and the hours of operation are the same at these historic gems.”

The Weekend in Monmouth tour sites will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 30 and noon to 5 p.m. on May 1, unless otherwise noted.

Five sites have been added to the 2016 Weekend in Old Monmouth tour: Allentown Presbyterian Church, Montrose Schoolhouse in Colts Neck, Parker Homestead in Little Silver and St. Peter’s Church in Freehold Borough.

The self-guided tour has recommended routes that guide history buffs travel by foot, bicycle or car to the various locations. So, start planning your route by previewing the tour sites on the county’s website at visitmonmouth.com.

In mid-April, the 2016 detailed tour book and tour map will be available on the Monmouth County website. On the tour dates, each tour stop will also have maps and booklets available. For more information, email history@co.monmouth.nj.us.

HOWELL – The Howell Middle School North Student Council members and advisors prepared several trays of homemade cookies and presented them to School Resource Officer McBride as a symbol of their appreciation for the men and women of the Howell Township Police Department.

“Cookies for Courage” was originally created by a young girl named Riley Sisk

after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Riley was a sixth grade student at the school when the attacks occurred. She developed the idea to have a meaningful event that honored all the first responders and to remember the sacrifices that were made.

The kids stayed late after school to make all the cookies and took the time to write several thank–you cards.

Meet The Howell Fire Bureau

HOWELL – Since 1977, the Howell Fire Bureau has remained dedicated to preventing fires and the loss of life and property in Howell through public education, fire inspections, new construction plan reviews, safety enforcement and comprehensive fire investigations. To improve the quality of life for Howell residents and business owners, the Howell Fire Bureau encompasses five areas of responsibility and service as they relate to reducing the risk of fire: Fire protection reviews site plans for proposed residential subdivisions and commercial and industrial complexes to ensure proper placement of water mains and fire hydrants, as well as adequate roadway access and egress during emergency incidents. It also reviews construction plans and conducts Uniform Construction Code inspections.

Fire investigation investigates every reported fire or explosion in Howell that resulted in serious injury, death or property damage. It also spearheads the Fire Fly Program, promoting interaction with juvenile fire setters and their parents.

Fire prevention handles annual inspections of commercial and industrial businesses, as mandated by the NJ Fire Safety Act. It conducts tri-monthly inspections of certain life hazard occupancies to ensure public health, safety and welfare, as well as issues life hazard registrations and fire safety permits.

Public Education provides “fire prevention through education” across the community and in the schools through presentations, fire prevention programs and their fire safety simulator trailer. It also offers training on proper fire extinguisher use.

Special Projects delivers special, season-specific inspection projects throughout the year, providing fire prevention, protection and education awareness for residents and business owners. One of their projects is the holiday inspection program.

In 2016, the Howell Fire Bureau will continue its ongoing training and education to meet evolving community needs, such as addressing the increase in commercial structures. In January, Robert Hotmar retired after 38 years of service as Howell Fire Bureau chief; Chief Hotmar was one of the bureau’s original fire inspectors in 1977. The bureau’s new chief, Robert Lewis, was hired as a fire inspector in 1997, moving up in rank to lieutenant and captain before becoming chief this past January. Lieutenant Brian Prochnow started with the bureau in 2004, serving as a fire prevention and fire protection inspector before becoming lieutenant in December.

In addition to its officers, the Howell Fire Bureau is served by fulltime inspectors Gary Davison, Mark Hopkins and Josh D’Arcy, part-time inspector Ken Volkmann and clerk Doreen Pavlick.

Principal Reaches 20-Year Milestone With District

HOWELL – Jeremy Braverman, Howell High School’s principal, recently reached a milestone of serving 20 years in the Freehold Regional district. He became the school’s principal in January of last year.

“One of the best parts of my job is being able to shape kids as life-long learners and community members so they can realize their individual potentials,” said Braverman. “We provide a supportive yet student-centered learning environment with many educational opportunities, and our staff receives training on empowering students to become proactive learners and problem solvers.”

At Howell High School, there is a threepronged plan to keep students on the path to success: providing quality education and academic opportunities, a school culture rooted in respect and relationship-building among students, staff and community and a proactive rather than reactive approach to addressing all aspects of students’ lives.

“As a community of stakeholders, it’s not about letting things go as they may. We work as a team to best guide and challenge each individual student,” said Braverman. This remains true from the high school district’s superintendent, administrators and board of education to Howell High School’s 150-plus teaching staff, six supervisors and three assistant principals; it also extends to the Howell community. “We have excellent relationships with our police department, police chief and school resource officer, in addition to the mayor and town council, municipal Alliance, Howell PAL and fire bureau. It is all about collaborating to work toward the same goals and providing a safe and inspiring student environment,” he said.

Within the school, there is an open-door policy for students and parents to encourage communication with school professionals, including the student assistance counselor, Ca-

Annual Charity Golf Outing Approaches

HOWELL – On April 25, the Howell Alliance and the Howell Optimist Club will hold the 21st Annual Charity Golf Outing, the Howell Township Mayor’s Cup Open. The day of golfing and evening festivities will take place at Eagle Oaks Golf and Country Club in Farmingdale. Over the past 20 years, the event has raised over $150,000 and funded over 150 high school scholarships, 30 computers for middle schoolers, 2,000 holiday gifts for community families in need and other youth-focused programs. There is also a super 50/50 raffle drawing.

Both volunteer-based Howell organizations focus on bettering the lives of young people from the community. The Howell Alliance promotes the prevention of drug, alcohol and tobacco use, as well as suicide and bullying, amongst the community’s youth. The Howell Optimist Club empowers young people to be the best they can be through positive service projects spearheaded by adult volunteers.

For more information regarding golfing, donations, sponsorships and ad journal placements, contact Ralph Hoffman, Howell Alliance coordinator, at 732-938-4500 ext.

mille Mussari, a team of guidance counselors and a dedicated child study team. The staff receives professional development for suicide and drug prevention and turnkeys it to educate students about at-risk behavior prevention.

Howell High School also offers over 40 clubs and 28 sports to keep students involved and active, including Lunch Bunch peer tutoring, Lead for Diversity, SADD, Any Towners

and the Key Club. In addition, there is grief counseling, an at-risk student group for transitioning freshman and NCAA support for athletes’ recruitments, interviews and academic success.

“We have seen a decrease over the past few years in negative conduct in our building due to creating a proactive culture and focusing on prevention, positive activities and academic

challenge,” said Braverman. “We work hard to keep our students achieving and engaged, so good decisions follow.”

Before becoming principal in January of last year, Braverman served as an assistant principal and has held professional capacities in the Freehold Regional High School district for a total of 20 years. Braverman is also an alumni of the high school district.

BlueClaws Unveil New Wednesday Promotion

LAKEWOOD – BlueClaws Wednesday night games are going to be extra special this year. Every fan in the ballpark can “walk off a winner” as part of TD Bank’s Walk-Off Wednesday, presented by Appliance Brokers Limited.

This all-new promotion will take place at the five BlueClaws Wednesday night games this year: April 20, June 16, August 17, 24 and 31.

The Walk-Off Wednesday grand prize will be a $10,000 ABL shopping spree should the BlueClaws hit a walk-off home run at any of the aforementioned games. However, there will be plenty of chances to win for all fans throughout the night.

At each of the five Wednesday night home games, one fan will win a grand prize (regardless of whether the BlueClaws win) from one of five partners: Samsung, Whirlpool, Frigidaire/ElectroLux, Bosch and SubZero/ Wolf. Fans can sign up at the ABL table on the concourse behind home plate to register for the free raffle.

On-field actions will provide prize winners as well. Such prizes throughout the year include a spring training trip in 2017, autographed BlueClaws merchandise, Phillies tickets, concession items and merchandise items.

The BlueClaws will spin a wheel three times throughout the night. The wheel will land on an in-game action: a BlueClaws run, an extra-base hit, batting around in the order, or others. If that action happens, a group of fans will win an additional prize.

At all five Walk-Off Wednesday games, the BlueClaws will have Skechers Choose For Shoes, where one fan will walk-off with a new pair of shoes from Skechers. Long Island Iced Tea will also provide a prize pack for select fans at all five Walk-Off Wednesday games.

For tickets to these or any BlueClaws game, call 732-901-7000 option 2.

Here’s To Your Health

Dear Pharmacist

Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

7 Simple Ways To Detox

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Do you just basically accept that you have a lot of gas, cramps or belly bloating?

Some of you just find yourself analyzing what you ate, or cutting some food out of your diet, naming it as the “offender” even if it’s not. Do you just assume you need a new medication to make yourself feel better?

That’s so crazy, don’t layer a drug on top of your problem! I recommend you do a gentle detox of your system rather than keep doing what you’re doing, eating what you’re eating and then adding all sorts of synthetic chemicals in an effort to improve digestion: Laxatives, antacids, anti-gas pills, lactose pills, diarrhea aids or acid blockers. Some of you take several of these in a single day!

So what is the best way to detox? I’m not asking you to drink nothing but water or soup every day, although you could try that for a few days, it’s termed a “fast” and there are many variations of a fast.

You can be proactive and take action without taking drugs just to eat comfortably. The question is what is the underlying problem for you? You’ll need testing. Is it an infection like SIBO, or H. pylori? Is it low acid or high? Is it a food sensitivity?

Certain symptoms show you that you have too many toxins that keep you on overload. Keep in mind that your brain is your second gut, and since there is a biochemical highway connecting them, signs of toxins in your gut show up in your the brain. So for example, you may have migraines or headaches, word

finding problems, irritability, mood swings and anxiety. But remember it’s in your gut, and in your bloodstream. If it’s backing up there, it’s backing up in your brain too, hence all the head-related problems.

Consider the following choices and have a candid conversation with a holistic-minded practitioner. Don’t just run for more laxatives. This is what I would do to reduce debris in my system: 1. I’d eliminate concentrated dairy (butter, yogurt, cheese).

2. I would begin a greens superfood blend (wheat grass, chlorella, etc) because these bind toxins and metals from your gut, these are sold everywhere. If you have concerns about your thyroid condition, look for “goitrogen-free” blend, otherwise, any green superfood will work.

3. If you have serious brain issues, I would ask the doctor for a prescription binder like cholestyramine or colestipol, these are cholesterol-reducing medications.

4. I would eliminate fast foods, or those containing artificial dyes, corn syrup and MSG. 5. Chia seed oil, Salmon oil or Hemp oil, choose one and take daily.

6. Drink more, especially hot lemon water, and herbal teas like rooibos and tulsi.

7. Take a good probiotic as a dietary supplement. Consider digestive enzymes with every meal. I would take both if it were me.

“We offer a discount of 20 percent off any item for a member of the military or a veteran,” Kumar said. “We just need some kind of verification from any branch of the military.”

das, Ruby Tuesday, Foot Locker, Staples, Hickory Farms, Dollar General, Leslie Pool Supply, Friendly’s Ice Cream, Payless, Hanes, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Tommy Hilfiger, Sandal’s Resorts, Carnival Cruise Line (must book over-the-phone), Lens Crafters, Boscov’s Modell’s, Barnes & Noble, Marriott Hotels, Choice Hotels, Days Inn, Six Flags Theme Parks, Walt Disney World theme parks and hotels, Capella University, DeVry University.

The following locations offer a 15 to 20 percent discount: TGI Friday’s, Boston Market, Office Depot, Dairy Queen, Hooters, IHOP, Cracker Barrel, Fashion Bug, Eddie Bauer, Timberland, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Ramada Hotels, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Verizon Wireless.

The following locations offer a discount, but it varies by location: Red Robin, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Sonic, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Arby’s, ChikFil-A, Chipotle, Cici’s Pizza, Hard Rock Café, KFC, Sally Beauty Supply, Denny’s, Dunkin Donuts, GNC, MLB Hall of Fame, Ripley’s museum, IMAX movie theaters, Armed Forces Vacation Club.

Dixel says that whenever a member or former member of the military go out to a store, they should ask about a military discount.

“Always ask if there is a military discount available,” she said. “And be sure to present your military ID.”

overall pick in the 2001 draft). Randolph hit .302 in his pro debut last year over 53 games with the Gulf Coast League Phillies.

Joining Randolph in the outfield are Zach Coppola, who stole 19 bases with Williamsport last year after being drafted in the 13th round from South Dakota State, Jose Pujols, Damek Tomscha, who hit .282 with nine home runs as a BlueClaw last year, and Jiandido Tromp, who hit nine home runs, all in the second half, as the BlueClaws last year.

The five player infield includes Josh Tobias, a 10th round pick from the University of Florida who hit .321 (3rd best in the NY-Penn League) with 12 stolen bases in Williamsport last year.

He’s joined by Grenny Cumana, Brendon Hayden, who hit .291 in Williamsport after being taken in the 16th round from Virginia Tech, Jan Hernandez, and Emmanuel Marrero. Both Cumana and Marrero spent part of last year with the BlueClaws.

The two catchers are Grullon, who spent last year with Lakewood, and Austin Bossart, a 15th round pick last year from the University of Pennsylvania.

The 13-man pitching staff includes Kilome, who baseball America ranks seventh in the system and went 3-2 with a 3.28 ERA with Williamsport last year. Tyler Gilbert, a 6th round pick last year from USC, and Luke Leftwich, a seventh round pick last year from

Wofford, join the BlueClaws after pitching last year in Williamsport.

Robert Tasin, a 19th round pick from Oklahoma that led the NY-Penn League with 17 saves last year, will make his BlueClaws debut this season. Kenny Koplove, a Philadelphia native that went to William Penn Charter and was a 17th round pick last year from Duke, will also make his BlueClaws debut this year.

The roster includes two players that came to the organization in recent trades. Pitcher Harold Arauz was acquired from the Astros in the December trade that sent Ken Giles to Houston. Pitcher Alberto Tirado was acquired from the Blue Jays in the July trade that sent Ben Revere to Toronto.

The roster also includes two former supplemental first-round picks from the 2012 draft in pitchers Shane Watson and Mitch Gueller, with Gueller making his BlueClaws debut after going 10-1 with Williamsport last year.

Shawn Williams returns to Lakewood for a second season managing the BlueClaws. He is joined by hitting coach Nelson Prada, who was also with the BlueClaws last year, and pitching coach Brian Sweeney, who spent last year with the Gulf Coast League Phillies.

Athletic trainer Takayuki Sakurai returns for a third season with the BlueClaws and Scott Smith, in his first year with the Phillies, is the club’s strength & conditioning coach.

Tickets for all 2016 BlueClaws home games are on sale by calling 732-901-7000 option 2 or online at BlueClaws.com.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt

Dear Readers, As I began to write this week’s column, my assistant brought me today’s letters and I want to address this readers concerns. A woman is heartbroken over an older son (in his 50s) who is not capable of managing money. A sibling had been put in charge, and, after what sounded like much grief, refused to do it any longer.

She is in her 80s and I’m sure she is concerned about the future, perhaps when she passes. I receive many similar letters, but hers touched me in a certain way.

Answer: When there is someone who is incapable of managing their own affairs there are many alternatives. In this case it sounded as if this son was irresponsible with money. Mishandling money often comes with illness. People who are bipolar can have episodes of selling the farm in exchange for luxuries etc.

They are not in a healthy state of mind and are delusional about outcomes and consequences. The same goes for people with addiction issues.

In this Dear Joel letter, it sounded to me as if she at one time managed her

son’s money and then delegated it to another son. They both had enough and will not do it any longer.

For all of you who may have similar issues, there are guardians that can be trusted to take on this role. You can start with an elder law attorney or trust and estate lawyer. Banks have departments that for a fee will manage finances for those who are not capable.

Certain people that we meet at Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing services cannot trust their children and turn these responsibilities over to an attorney or bank or financial planner.

You can also start with social workers which are in abundance here in New Jersey. If there is not enough money to pay for a money manager, there is certainly enough to have a consultation with any of the above. Start somewhere and move in a different direction. Doing the same thing over and over again will accomplish nothing. Best of luck.

Protect Yourself And Your Family By Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though our community are either uninsured or underinsured.

To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey.

As the name suggests, UM/UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle.

UM/UIM insurance is very in-

expensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For instance, you are sitting at a red light minding your business when all of the sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment, many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled.

Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility.

Call the attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

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.

Spring Festival At Allaire

ALLAIRE – The Early 19th Century Spring Festival is April 16 at 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the historic village at Allaire State Park.

4/15/16

The village is welcoming spring, and after a long cold winter it is time to prepare the flower and herb gardens for a new season.

The young and young at heart can come and plant a seed in a special new children’s garden and will also have a few seeds to share with you to take home.

The militia will be demonstrating drills and weaponry. There will be a spring auction in front of the General Store at 2 p.m. featuring handcrafts from Allaire Village craftsmen, arrangements by local florists, and more. This event is free to the public.

The Historic Village at Allaire, the nonprofit living history museum receives no funding from the State of New Jersey and so relies on donations, admissions, and purchases made at the General Store and Bakery to continue teaching the public about life in New Jersey in 1836.

For more information, call the office, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 732-919-3500, or visit allairevillage.org.

The Howell Times, April 9, 2016, Page 19 For the week of April 9 - April 15

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast By Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Look on the bright side. Finding humor in even the direst situations can help improve your mood as well as the moods of those around you. Try something new and exciting this week with a special someone to get a fresh perspective.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Go your own way. Make your own plans and set your own agendas to accomplish what’s best for you in the week ahead. You’ll find that being among close friends or loved ones will give you the most satisfaction.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t beat around the bush. Remember that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Solve problems this week by meeting them head on. A social function could be enjoyable even if you are hesitant to attend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Enthusiasm can be contagious. Showing support for someone else’s project can help them get the ball rolling quickly. Taking a more optimistic approach in the week ahead can help you overcome life’s little obstacles.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): All work and no play can be monotonous. Take some time to enjoy the spoils of your labors in the week ahead. Treat yourself to a pretty bauble or treat someone else to a pleasant excursion. Put important decisions in perspective.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t press the issue. If someone chooses to withhold information, it’s probable that they have a good reason.

Concentrate on finding enjoyable ways to pass the time when you aren’t indulging in heavy thinking

in the week ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Catch spring fever. Make the most of each day this week by getting out in the sun. Tackle some gardening, go to a ball game, or just take a stroll in the park. Any activity that allows you to get some fresh air and stretch your legs will do the trick.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be hospitable. Put out a big spread for friends and visitors to show that you truly are the host with the most.

Being generous and sympathetic to the problems of others is likely to win you respect and admiration in the week ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Great minds think alike. Sharing your ideas with close friends and confidants can yield perspectives and insights as the week unfolds. Be decisive when faced with tough choices and avoid over thinking issues.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t worry, be happy. Avoid fretting over events that are beyond your control as the week goes by. You are powerless to influence the outcome. Maintain a positive attitude that everything will turn out for the best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Change can be for the better. A new diet can improve your health, a new perspective can improve your psyche, or a new routine can improve your productivity. Listen to the advice of knowledgeable peers this week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Dare to be different. Don’t be shy when it comes to meeting new people or experiencing new things this week.

You’ll be far more satisfied by straying off the beaten path and searching for unique adventures. (c) 2016 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

“Do You Suffer From These Seven Symptoms of This Often Misdiagnosed Problem?...”

damage caused by old herniated discs or arthritis.

This instrument is 100 times faster than the hands.

This painless procedure works great.

More About This Unique Care…

I use non-invasive, painless technology in our office known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). This laser uses near-infrared light to stimulate healing.

It’s a newly developed tool that’s very safe. This non-invasive healing light has been proven to work wonders on peripheral neuropathy symptoms. I have witnessed nothing short of miracles that have suffered for years with neuropathy, where their doctor told them their nerves were dead have had pain and numbness relief with just a few treatments.

Do You Qualify for This New Program?

When you call and make an appointment, I’ll perform a highly specialized Qualitative Clinical Scoring System of the Peripheral Nervous System to see if we may be able to help. If I don’t think I can help I will truthfully tell you and steer you in the right direction so that you can get the appropriate care you need. But, please call right away because we can only accept the first 27 callers. If you are one of the first 27 callers, I’ll do this evaluation and qualifying process completely FREE!!!! ($225 Value).

Wall, NJ – The problem is often misdiagnosed, or not diagnosed at all. But, it affects the lives of between 10 and 20 million Americans.

This problem can cause:

• Numbness.

• Burning pain.

• Cramping.

• Sharp, electric pain.

• Hurt when you walk.

• Difficulty sleeping from leg/foot discomfort.

• Prickling/tingling feelings.

• Painful injections • Physical therapy • Acupuncture • Vitamins • Or maybe you have been told to...

JUST LIVE WITH IT! Peripheral Neuropathy has many causes. It can be spinal/back problems, inflammation, diabetes, hereditary disorders, medication side-effects, cancer treatments and more. For the past few years, I’ve studied this class of conditions, collectively known as “Peripheral Neuropathies.” In fact, helping people with these problems have become a primary focus of mine. It’s not unusual for me to hear stories from patients who’ve suffered for years with terrible symptoms. For many, they are missing out on the things they love to do. They aren’t enjoying life as they once did. If that describes you, then perhaps I can help. I practice a multipronged attack to these problems. And, the beautiful thing is that when these health situations are resolved, people can have great improvements in the quality of pain free, with peace and joy in their lives again. I have clinical experience with hundreds of successful cases that provides me with a unique set of knowledge and tools that have been tested and found to be effective.

Innovative Care - Powerful Results

If you suffer from one or more of these problems, you may have Peripheral Neuropathy.

And, if you do, you’re not alone. Often, these good people have been frustrated by the traditional care they’ve received for these terrible problems, and are still seeking help.

Have You Been Told To Try Or HAVE Tried…

• Medication

You can’t have nerve pressure or ‘pinched nerves’ and get better from neuropathy. Using the latest in technology, I offer non-invasive care. I use patented instrumentation that is highly-researched, lowforce and computerized. This frees the nerves, and the

P.S. Does your spouse, family member, or friend suffer from peripheral neuropathy?

Tens of millions suffer,and often don’t know where to turn…State-of-the-art facility in New Jersey offers latest noninvasive, painless treatment for leg/foot pain and numbness sufferers. There is treatment available that your doctor may not know about that can possibly end your agony!!

Here’s what some of your neighbors have to say: “THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR THE GOOD HELP.” I was very please with the treatment. I can’t believe I can sleep atnight without the terrible feet pain and numbness, something I couldn’t do for a long time. I can walk and dance, I use to use a cane. I now have hope. I take this moment to thank you and your staff for the good help you are giving to your patients. Thank you so much.

Anne C. “AFTER THE FIRST DAY MY FEET WERE NO LONGER COLD.” In the beginning I was skeptical of the treatments because I have tried many things over the last nine years and nothing has worked. I was thrilled that after the first day my feet were no longer cold. I am now able to sleep without socks which I haven’t been able to do in 8 years.The pain is also getting progressively less. I am able to be on my feet for longer periods of time. This helps me to get more exercise and generally feel better. My family tells me I am more upbeat and fun to be around.

This offer is also available to them, too. You can even come in together. Their lack of health affects your life also. Maybe this will be your chance to really give them the help they need.

“NOTHING HAS HELPED ME AS MUCH AS THE CARE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM THIS FANTASTIC, PROFESSIONAL DOCTOR.”

Not For Everyone. While this technology is certainly not for everyone and may not be helpful for your type of problem, there is also a tremendous possibility that it is a life-saving solution you have been hoping and praying for – the solution that could give you your life back.

Janice M. “IT IS SUCH A RELIEF THAT I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT.” I saw the article in the Star Ledger and said, “why not give it a try either it will or will not work.” I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in my feet. I was told there was nothing that could be done just medication. I was trying to live with it. It is such a relief that I can sleep at night. There were times I could not fall asleep for days. I felt relief by the second week. I am looking forward to working again and not having any pain to stop me. Dr. Chludzinski and the staff are wonderful, very friendly, and put you at ease.

The treatments really do work. Thanks.

Kathleen M.

“I NEVER HAD RESULTS SO FAST.” I have had many treatments throughout my 10 years of suffering with this ailment, but I never had results so fast, almost in three or four sessions. It was painless. The treatment is very helpful and would definitely recommend others.
