Howell Schools Promote Family Togetherness With Contest

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell Township Schools partnered up with RWJBarnabas Health Institute for Prevention to make April a month for eating together with family.

From April 1-30, Howell schools and RWJBarnabas are encouraging families to have a meal together at least once a week,

offering prize incentives for those who submit photos with the hashtag, #howelleatstogether.

According to RWJBarnabas, “Busy school, after school and work schedules often bite into family meal time; yet research shows families who eat together not only eat healthier, but also have better communication skills and better interpersonal relation-

ships.”

The contest aims to encourage healthy lifestyles and healthy relationships between family members. The effects of eating together go beyond communication skills; it can also help improve academic performance, and can reduce substance abuse, depression, eating disorders, and (Contest - See Page 2)

The meal should not only consist of food, but also of conversation. This is the factor that helps to build up these family relationships.

To enter into the contest, students or family members need to use the hashtag while sharing a photo of the family meal on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram any time until April 30. At the end of the contest, RWJBarnabas will choose a random winner to receive a $100 gift card to a local grocery store.

RWJBarnabas remarks that the contest is also to encourage fun within the family.

CFC Paint The Mall Purple Mental Health & Recovery Awareness Day FREEHOLD – CFC Loud N Clear Foundation will be hosting a community Mental Health & Recovery Awareness Day at Freehold Raceway Mall on May 11, 2018.

Community resources, stories of hope, teen empowerment programs, college transition presentations, parent information sessions, and more will be available.

Private meetings with certified Recovery Coaches are available at the event for families in crisis. This event is free and open to the public.

MCSONJ & Freeholders Commemorate Public Safety Telecommunicators Week FREEHOLD – Sheriff Shaun Golden is pleased to announce that the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders commemorated National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week by honoring the Mon mout h Cou nt y Sheriff’s Office Commu n ic at ion s D iv ision’s public safety telecom mu n icators (PSTs) for a job well done.

“This is a great opportunity to say thank you to all the public safety telecommunicators for their hard work a nd com m itment,” said Sheriff Golden. “These dedicated men and women are the unsung heroes of public safety and play a critical role in saving lives, but, all too often that work goes unnoticed.”

To commemorate the week, held from April 8 through April 15, Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry presented a proclamation recognizing the PSTs at the Board of Chosen Freeholder meeting on April 11. PST Allison Welker of Red Bank, who has an integral part of inputting critical data regarding the Project Lifesaver

program and Special Needs Registry into the software system, accepted the proclamation on behalf of all the PSTs. “These men and women do an exceptional

job serving Monmouth County 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and deserve much credit for their dedication and professionalism,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office.

“I’m honored to receive this acknowledgement on behalf of all my co-workers,” said Allison Welker. “We appreciate this recognition and are grateful that through our dedication and hard work we are able

to assist and serve the public in emergency services.”

The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center is staffed with 114 public safety telecommunicators who answer 9-1-1 calls for 50 agencies, which includes 47 municipalities, Brookdale Community College, Monmouth University and Naval Weapons Station Earle. It also provides dispatch services for 22 police departments, 69 fire companies and 37 fi rst aid squads.

The Communications Division processes more than 750,000 calls annually.

“Our public safety telecommunicators deserve a great deal of acknowledgement for their continued efforts,” said Sheriff Golden. “Without their commitment, police officers, fi refighters and EMTs across Monmouth County would not be able to perform their daily duties in a safe and effective manner.”

In 1991, Congress proclaimed the second week in April as the nationally recognized week of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, recognizing the crucial role of public safety telecommunications personnel.

Weingroff remarked that all of the recipients and their families were present and the evening was filled with lots of laughs and smiles.

Soroptimist International of Central Jersey Coast is part of “an international women’s organization for business and professional women who work to improve the lives of women and girls, in local communities and throughout the world,” according to their website.

“These are national awards,” said Weingroff, emphasizing what a great achievement it is to be chosen.

Pedercini was the recipient of the Live Your Dream Award. This award is an education and training award that is meant to acknowledge empowerment through education for Pedercini as she goes on to pursue a certification in the medical field.

The Live Your Dream Award is usually given to a female head of household, someone who is working to improve the lives of both herself and her children through further education.

Also from Howell is Hannah Misyak, senior at Howell High School. Misyak was honored with the Violet Richardson Award, Honoring Young Women for Volunteer Action, for those ages 14-17.

Misyak has demonstrated her great volunteer work capabilities through her time with the Girl Scouts. She has earned Bronze and Silver Awards, volunteered countless hours to the Rescue Ridge animal shelter, and most impressively, has established the “4 Paws Sake Family Fun Fest.” This is a charity event that benefits rescue animals, which is also helping her pursue her Girl Scout Gold Award.

“When she goes to apply to college, they will look favorably on that,” said Weingroff about Misyak.

Misyak’s “4 Paws Sake Family Fun Fest” will take place on April 21 from 11-4 a.m. at Allaire State Park. This program will benefit homeless animals and raise awareness about what it means to own a pet.

Both staff members at The HOPE Center in Toms River, VanBezooijen and Santora, were the honorable recipients of the Ruby Award, Women Helping Women. This award is meant for women who have dedicated time to improving the lives of other women through professional endeavors.

The HOPE Center is a non-profit organization that aims “to provide support, resources, referrals, food to clients as they work to overcome a current life crisis,” according to their website. The work that VanBezooijen and Santora perform here helps to empower other women in their everyday lives.

Weingroff said that the Soroptimist organization chooses the candidates for each of the three awards. They submit a list of names of those who might be good candidates and they choose from there.

As the spotlight continues to shine on women’s issues, Weingroff noted that “it’s nice to know that there are women out there empowering other women.”

Veterans’ Connection Office Opens At Fort Monmouth OCEANPORT - The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and County Veterans Services Office have announced the opening of a satellite Veterans’ Connection office at Fort Monmouth. A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held on April 5 at Russell Hall in Oceanport to celebrate the opening.

The Veterans’ Connection provides a variety of services to help veterans and their dependents obtain assistance in applying for service-connected compensation and benefits and other earned entitlements through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

The staff at the office will help veterans to complete paperwork, obtain medical access and refer veterans for transportation services. In addition, veterans will receive assistance connecting to a host of services such as therapy for PTSD, substance abuse disorders, employment counseling and vocational training.

Monmouth County Freeholder Deputy Director and Chairperson of the Veterans Subcommittee of the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority, Lillian G. Burry said, “The opening of the Veterans’ Connection office at Fort Monmouth is a great day for Monmouth County veterans who have sacrificed so much for all of us.

I am thrilled that we are able to provide them with convenient access to the benefits they deserve.”

The new Veterans’ Connection office will be housed at 1000 Sanger Avenue, Oceanport, NJ. Freeholder Deputy Director Burry said, “The Veterans’ Connection is located in one of the six Fort Monmouth properties sold in Oceanport in addition to a 13-acre parcel that will house Oceanport’s new Municipal Complex - all part of the continued and important revitalization of Fort Monmouth. I am pleased to report that to date, nearly two-thirds of Fort Monmouth is sold, under contract, or in negotiations. Now, in addition to all of the wonderful growth here, we are now reaching back to our military roots by opening the Veterans’ Connection office right here.”

Executive Director of the Monmouth County Office on Aging, Disabilities and Veterans Services, Sue Moleon said, “I am thrilled that the Veterans’ Connection satellite office is now open and available to help all Monmouth County veterans.

Its knowledgeable staff will help veterans navigate the paperwork and processes required for them to access the important services, programs and benefits they have earned by serving our country.”

For more information call the Monmouth County Veterans Service Office at 732-6838675. The Veterans’ Connection Center will be open by appointment only on Monday and Thursday from 12:30-4:30 p.m.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Two members of the U.S. House of Representatives (Chris Smith [R-4th], and Nita Lowey [D-NY]) addressed this open letter to President Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, Mike Pompeo.

“Many of our constituents, as well as Jewish families here and abroad, sat down for a seder to commemorate the Exodus story of Passover.Anti-Semitic attacks, threats and incidents were likely a topic of discussion at many tables. Conversations about Jewish communities around the world focused on a key question: Is there a future for these communities in their home countries, or will they be forced into a modern Exodus?

As two members of Congress dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism, we are deeply concerned by the increase in anti-Semitism

around the globe in the last year.

Here are just a few of the stories that have been brought to our attention: The recent slaying of an 85-yearold Holocaust survivor in Paris, France, who the police believe was targeted because of her religion; Comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin that the Jews could be responsible for interfering in the U.S. elections; A study from the UK’s Community Security Trust, which found that the Jewish community was targeted at a rate of nearly four times a day in 2017, an all-time high; The suspected arson of a kosher grocery store in Créteil, France, which had just been defaced with Nazi swastikas; A letter on the website for the

Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The largest 10 pharmaceutical companies in the nation have announced no plans to pass on any of their newfound tax savings from the Republican tax bill to consumers in the form of lower drug prices, according to a new 15-page report released by U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ).

Instead, half of the firms plan to use their windfall to repurchase shares of their

own stock, a mechanism used to boost the individual stock price for shareholders. Socalled stock buybacks overwhelmingly benefit wealthy individuals - 84 percent of stocks are controlled by the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans.

Senator Booker’s staff reviewed transcripts of the fourth quarter earnings calls and other public forecasting statements of the largest 10

Federal Office Of Anti-Semitism Monitor Can’t Remain Empty Jewish community of Poland outlining their concerns about a “growing wave of intolerance, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism” in the country, leaving many in the community feeling unsafe; A 40 percent increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents of vandalism in 2017 in the Netherlands; and Attempts in many countries to outlaw circumcision and various kosher and halal butchering practices.

Every one of these incidents is one too many, and they are just a small sample of what is happening around the globe.

The United States has consistently been a leader in the fight to combat international anti-Semitism. Since 2004, this work has been led by the U.S. State Department’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism. The Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004, signed into

law that year, created and required the position and its supporting office. Rep. Chris Smith authored those provisions of the law. The position is tasked with tracking and leading U.S. efforts against anti-Semitism around the globe.

Just as important, the Special Envoy has served as a critical high-level liaison in the U.S. administration for international Jewish communities.

The Special Envoy position is now more important than ever.

Anti-Semitic extremists in the United States and elsewhere are sharing and refining their methods and materials with each other. Terrorist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda have hard-wired hatred of Jewish people into their ideological DNA, using it as a basis for their attack priorities and propaganda. Anti-Semitic attitudes, rhetoric and incidents have risen on the far left, far right and even the mainstream of the

ideological spectrum in many countries.

As you may be aware, the position of Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism has remained vacant since the beginning of the administration.

Additionally, there has been no staff in the Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism since May 2017. Throughout 2017, we consistently urged the administration to fill the Special Envoy position as soon as possible, including through directives in the Fiscal Year 2017 and 2018 Omnibus bills. Ranking Member Nita Lowey authored those provisions in those appropriations bills. But even in the light of rising violence and discrimination against the world’s Jewish communities, the position and office are still vacant.

You will have many challenges to tackle should you be confirmed as the U.S. Secretary of

State. Nonetheless, we urge you to make it a top priority to quickly appoint a person of recognized distinction in combating anti-Semitism, or in a directly relevant field, to the Special Envoy position. The longer this position remains empty, the more likely the U.S. commitment to combating the modern-day scourge of an ancient evil is called into question.

U.S. leadership in the fight against anti-Semitism is essential, even more so now, and we cannot shirk the responsibilities that rest on our shoulders as a world leader.

At the end of a Passover seder, participants often say “Next year in Jerusalem.” But with increasing threats against Jewish communities in Europe, Latin America and elsewhere, let us hope for seders next year in the UK, France, Poland, the Netherlands and the rest of the world. We look forward to working with you to ensure this is a reality.

Singer Calls For ‘New Jersey Economic Development Day’ or start a business,” Singer (R-30) said. “New Jersey is blessed with a well-educated workforce, an ideal location, easy-to-access public transportation, and the best schools in the nation. Boosting economic growth is critical to ensuring the vitality of our

economy.”

Sen. Singer’s joint resolution, SJR-72, aims to encourage and promote New Jersey state and local economic development programs.

The resolution requests that the governor annually calls upon elected offi-

cials, business owners, and the citizens of New Jersey to discuss job creation, fiscal resiliency, and how to best enhance business development plans.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our state’s e c o n o m y, ” S i n g e r a d d ed. “This resolution is a

great way to encourage the people of New Jersey to support the trades and industries that make our state unique. By raising awareness, we can improve New Jersey’s business climate for generations of customers and job creators to come.”

Pharma Companies Not Using Tax Savings To Lower Prices

U.S.-headquartered pharmaceutical companies - Pfizer, Merck & Co., Johnson & Johnson, Gilead Sciences, AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly & Co., Celgene, and Mylan.

Their findings revealed no evidence that drug companies are using any of their tax savings to lower the price of prescription drugs. Instead, their analysis revealed that five of the 10 firms have announced $45 billion in new stock buyback programs. That figure represents roughly one-fifth of the more than $200 billion in recent buyback announcements across all industries.

“This early snapshot of how drug companies are using their newfound tax savings is profoundly discouraging,” Senator Booker said. “Instead of using the windfall to benefit consumers in the form of lower drug prices, they’re using their savings to line the pockets of wealthy shareholders and executives. That’s unacceptable. Too many Americans have to choose between basic necessities such as taking their medicine and paying their utility bill. The pharmaceutical industry needs to get its priorities straight and do more for patients struggling with skyrocketing drug prices.”

“While today’s report captures only a first glimpse at how these major drug companies will allocate their tax savings, it is a powerful indicator of how these and other major pharmaceutical companies intend to deploy their tax benefits,” Booker added. “I hope these companies prove me wrong and use this windfall to lower drug prices for Americans.”

Booker sent his 15-page report today to the CEOs of the 10 drug companies, and urged them to use their tax savings to combat skyrocketing drug prices.

This report is part of Booker’s ongoing effort to lower

consumer drug prices for the millions of New Jerseyans and Americans who struggle to afford their medicine. Last year, Senator Booker introduced a bill - the Affordable and Safe Prescription Drug Importation Act - with Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Bob Casey (D-PA) that would allow Americans to import safe, low-cost medicine from Canada and other advanced countries. Booker is also a sponsor of legislation that would allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices, make it easier to get generic drugs to market, and make other key reforms to bring down high drug cost.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Another Traffic Light On Route 9 A s c r ews d ig i nt o Route 9 near the intersection with Frederick Drive in Berkeley, residents wanted to know what they were doing there.

They were installing a pedestrian signal at the intersection. Pedestrians will be able to push a button to turn the light red and then they can cross safely.

Online chat ter was mixed. In one camp was “Finally! That intersection is so dangerous!”

In the other camp was “Another (expletive deleted) light?”

True, there is a traffic light at 9 and Ocean Gate Drive, which is ver y close to Frederick Drive. And another

traffic light will definitely slow things down.

But that’s the point.

There have been at least three fatalities at that intersection and numerous other injuries. It is impossible to say how many near-misses there have been. A t r af f ic sig nal was def initely needed.

Route 9 is only going to get busier. Drivers need to expect it and officials have to be proact ive about it. Berkeley had been pushing for this light for a number of years, and the state took a while to approve it, but now that it’s finally happening, it is for the best.

Letters To The Editor Dear Letter to the Editor, In the fall, I joined with the thousands of people on the Seaside Heights boardwalk at the annual Hope Sheds Light HOPE Walk.

As an local elected official, I was proud to be a part of the event, and to stand with all who came to join the fight against opioid addiction. I was also very proud to see my congressman, Tom MacAr thur, at the HOPE Walk and committed to continuing his work in Congress to make sure resources are available to combat the drug devastation facing our communities.

As co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, Congressman MacArthur has been a leader in combating the opioid epidemic.

Most recently, he led the charge of passing a $4 billion bipartisan spending bill that will help provide the resources we need to help treat those struggling with addiction and assist law enforcement in their efforts to keep illegal drugs and guns off our streets.

Congressman MacArthur is constantly meeting with local law enforcement, elected officials, treatment providers, and those in recover y. He understands that the solution to this crisis will only be achieved through government at all levels working together to confront it. Tom does a great job focusing on the issues that are important to Ocean County and I am proud to be represented by a true leader who is a tireless advocate for our region.

Tax Reform Needed The pension exclusion act of 2016 was enacted to make New Jersey more competitive with New York and Pennsylvania. It was also intended to make New Jersey more affordable for

Letters To The Editor retirees. It was enacted to care givers, the placard must slow the out migration to Florida and other states with lower cost of living.

The pension exclusion act was modified and a watered down version of the bill was passed.

There remains marketing campaigns which tout the bill but disguise the fact that the bill excludes couples above a certain income.

New Jersey politicians, lobbies and unions are satisfied with this state of affairs.

W hile large cor porations continue to receive tax breaks and incentives and industry groups rally against the millionaires tax, and while New Jersey is proud that no estate of any size will be taxed, no one is willing to stand up for tax fairness for the average middle class retired couple.

If New Jersey is going to keep its middle class it needs to not just address property tax but income tax issues carefully, fairly and effectively.

Keep Parking For Physical Disabilities Only I am strongly against the two current bills mentioned in the media that would expand accessible parking permits to new groups.

As the current rules make clear, the accessible spaces are needed for individuals with physical conditions who need closest parking to get to stores, restaurants, medical facilities. The spaces are crucial for wheelchair-using people, who need the wider access aisles that are part of the accessible parking places to drop down their van ramps and have room to turn off the ramp.

The bills have not been thought out and are “feel good” bills, written without understanding of the issues I am describing. There is no need for those with PTSD, autistic people, or caregivers of disabled people to receive the placards. Instead of the

be issued to the one who needs it, as is current law.

The placard can go with that person to the driver’s vehicle while the disabled person is in the vehicle. It would be tempting for caregivers to park in the spaces even when they are not transporting a person with a disability.

PTSD does not require an accessible space. If the veteran has a physical disability, he or she can get a permit based on that fact.

The same is true for people with autism.

Please remember the legal requirement under the New Jersey and federal law (Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA), to provide parking for those with physical needs that prevent them from accessing places without those essential parking spaces.

We need much better enforcement of the mandated fines of $250 for first offenses. Towing is also a legal punishment. Police should check that a disabled person with a required “disabled person’s ID” card is using the space. If he or she loans the placard to someone not eligible, the placard can be confiscated!

As with spots set aside for pregnant drivers, a second tier for the proposed classes could be provided as a courtesy, but not in the legally reserved spaces under our current accessible parking laws.

All legislators should read the excellent N.J. Guide to Accessible Parking and refuse to pass the proposed laws. http://www.state.nj.us/ humanservices/dds/home/ Guide%20to%20Accessible%20Parking-Web.pdf Carolyn Schwebel Director of Equalizers, Advocates for People with Disabilities

Kim’s “Weaknesses” Are Really Strengths

Is Rep. Tom MacArthur looking to retire? I hope the answer is yes (for many reasons) because otherwise it is just plain scary how inept his campaign has been.

In the past week they’ve sent out multiple attacks on his opponent that have only served to highlight his larger deficiencies in those areas.

First, in his continued efforts to make it seem that Mr. Andy Kim is an “outsider,” he brought up a property tax mistake (that Mr. Kim had corrected before anyone knew of it). Thank you Congressman for the reminder that while Mr. Kim did not live in district for the past few years he was working as a public servant serving in Afghanistan and DC. The contrast between Mr. Kim returning home to run and MacArthur’s having shopped for a district a few years back is a win for Kim. Now, he takes issue with Mr. Kim’s pledge not to a c c e pt c or p or at e PAC money. MacAr thur and his campaign claim that in accepting money from Democratic PACs that have corporate contributors, Kim has broken that pledge, but those indirect contributions (about 2 percent of his total campaign funds) do not buy influence. Again, this highlights that over half of MacArthur’s contributions have come from PACs and his votes highlight that he serves someone other than his constituents. Thank you again Congressman for detailing these differences that are a win for Kim. Good luck in your retirement.

National Distracted Driving Awareness Month

By Jennifer Peacock

OCEAN COUNTY – April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, as proclaimed by The Ocean County Board of Health.

“Distracted driving is dangerous and claimed 3,444 lives within the United States, in 2015, the last year for which measurable statistics are available. Distracted driving is generally defined as any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating or drinking, changing your radio or music selection or even interacting with your navigation system – virtually anything which takes your attention from the road,” Public Health Coordinator Daniel E. Regenye said.

More than 660,000 drivers use cell phones while driving, the National Highway Traffic Safety Council found. Most of those are teens and young adults ages 16-24.

“Texting while driving is truly the most alarming distraction, as it has been shown that sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds which is the equivalent of driving with your eyes closed across a football field at 55 mph.

Safety demands that full attention is given to the task of driving, as any non-driving activity is a potential distraction that may end the life of the driver and others sharing the road,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Distracted drivers delay braking, often miss traffic signals, all of which greatly increases the chances of crashing.

The county health department supports the national safety council’s “Just Drive” pledge, which states: “I pledge to Just Drive for my own safety and for others with whom I share the roads.

I choose to not drive distracted in any way – I will NOT: Have a phone conversation – handheld, hands-free, or via Bluetooth; Text or send Snapchats; Use voice to text features in my vehicle’s dashboard system; Update Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or other social media; Check or send emails; Take selfies or film videos; Input destinations into GPS while the vehicle is in motion Call or message someone else when I know they are driving.”

Center Players Presents One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest FREEHOLD – Center Players Dessert Theater continues its successful season with Dale Wasserman’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, running from May 4 – June 3, at Center Playhouse, 35 South St, in downtown Freehold, NJ. The drama, directed by Dave McGrath, centers around Randle Patrick McMurphy as he is transferred for evaluation from a prison farm to a psychiatric institution. While he assumes it will be a less restrictive environment, he soon discovers Nurse Ratched runs the psychiatric ward with an iron fist, keeping her patients cowed through abuse, medication and sessions of electroconvulsive therapy. The play examines how the battle of wills between the rebellious McMurphy and the inflexible Ratched soon affects all the ward’s patients.

Performances run Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. There will be no performances Memorial Day weekend. Tickets are priced at $25-27 and are available online at centerplayers.org or by calling 732-462-9093.

Rounding out the season will be Dinner with Friends, written by Donald Marguiles and directed

by Leslie Hochman, running July 27-August 26.

Celebrating its 17th season at Center Playhouse, Center Players Dessert Theater is a respected, award-winning organization, presenting high quality, engaging productions. In addition to their signature plays, the group also sponsors free play reading events and offers dinner and theater packages with several local restaurants. Center Players was founded in 1996, gained status as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization and established a permanent presence in historic downtown Freehold.

FirstEnergy Warns Customers to ‘Hang Up, Don’t Pay Up’ When Scammers Call

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – FirstEnergy Utilities recently released a mini documentary entitled “Hang Up, Don’t Pay Up: When a Scammer Calls,” urging customers to be wary of phone scammers impersonating FirstEnergy employees.

In the documentary, FirstEnergy customers speak out about their experience with scammers impersonating employees and provide some tips to help customers avoid these scams.

They explain that the scammers might claim that you have unpaid electric bills, threatening to shut off your power if you don’t pay up. These fraudsters use caller ID spoofing to cover up the real number while recreating FirstEnergy’s automated menu. This is what makes these scammers so convincing.

In addition to phone scammers, FirstEnergy warns residential and business customers to be wary of door-to-door scammers in the coming warming weather. These scammers also demand immediate payment, threatening service disconnection.

“Scammers can be very convincing and often target those who are most vulnerable, like senior citizens or business owners who rely on electric service to run their business and make a living,” said Gary W. Grant, vice president of customer service for FirstEnergy Utilities.

“We want others to hear directly from victims of attempted utility scams, in hopes they’ll learn how to spot a scam in the future. Most important, if you ever receive a call demanding immediate payment to your electric utility,

hang up, don’t pay up.”

Last year, FirstEnergy received 959 reports of scams from customers, almost double that of 2016.

You can find the mini documentary “Hang Up, Don’t Pay Up” on FirstEnergy’s Scam and Fraud Information website.

The site also provides tips and information to help customers avoid falling victim to scammers, including: Customers with past-due accounts will receive a written notice of their account status, with instructions on how to avoid disconnection of service.

FirstEnergy employees would explain how a payment can be made using the established payment options, rather than demand payment over the phone.

FirstEnergy field collectors carry company-issued photo ID and offer customers with pastdue accounts the opportunity to pay their bill in person before shutting them off.

FirstEnergy does not accept prepaid debit cards or wire transfers as payment, and their representatives will not demand bank or credit card information over the phone.

Never dial the phone number the scammers provide.

“We encourage customers to contact us directly using the phone number listed on our website and on their billing statement if they need to verify the status of their electric account or to confirm the identity of a FirstEnergy employee,” said Grant. “When in doubt, always give us a call.”

Gov. Murphy: Make Gun Crime Data Public

By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – The governor wants gun violence data available at the publics’ fingertips.

Gov. Phil Murphy issued executive order no. 21, which directs the state’s department of law and public safety to post “key information related to guns used in the commission of crimes in the state” on its and the State Police’s website on an ongoing basis.

“Each department, office, division, and agency of this state is hereby required, to the extent not inconsistent with law, to cooperate fully with the

Department and to furnish the Department with such relevant information and assistance on a timely basis as is necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Order,” the order said.

The order goes on to say that the database should raise public awareness on the impact of gun violence in communities across the state. While the order cites that 80 percent of gun crimes are com mit ted with weapons t raff icked into the state, it did not say how many of those crime were committed by citizens who follow New Jersey’s already strict gun laws.

State Working To Bolster Cybersecurity of NJ Election Systems

By Kimberly Bosco TRENTON – The New Jersey Department of State Division of Elections, and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, through its New Jersey Cybersecur it y and Com munications Integration Cell, are working to reaffirm the state’s commitment to election

security.

New Jersey Secretary of State Tahesha Way said that they are participating in training sessions, constructing interagency communication channels, and integrating practices to strengthen the security of elections in NJ. “The Division of Elections has been

and continues to work with federal partners at the Department of Homeland Security, the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, and other third-party security experts to continuously improve our security posture as the threat landscape evolves.

The Department of State is working to

ensure that every individual able to cast a ballot in November can do so knowing the state affords a safe and secure system,” said Way. “We are committed to providing cybersecurity assistance to state and local officials throughout this election cycle and beyond,” said New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness Director Jared Maples. “We are working with county and municipal election officials to offer security services and continuously monitor our systems. To that end, the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell provides near real-time awareness of cyber threats and analysis, shares information on sound digital resilience and risk mitigation practices, and acts as a resource for cybersecurity incident reporting.”

T he New Jer sey St atew ide Voter Registration System (SVRS) has been upgraded and modernized, to increase deterrence, detection, and response resources. We will see the upgraded NJ SVRS in place after this year’s Primary Election.

Prior to the rollout of the modernized system, Homeland Security will be working alongside the state to conduct a Risk and Vulnerability Assessment.

In addition to cybersecurity measures, NJ enhances voting machine security procedures through: The use of seal-use protocols tamper-evident seals on all voting machines The use of pre-election testing protocols Requiring a seal-use protocol and voting machine security training class Requiring all those working on the voting machines to undergo criminal and security background checks Hardening and installation of anti-virus software on all election management computers.

Through its New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC) the New Jersey Off ice of Homeland Security and Preparedness continuously works with the New Jersey Secretary of State’s Office, it’s Division of Elections, and the New Jersey Office of Information Technology to assess and enhance other controls that protect New Jersey’s election processes.

State and local officials can contact the NJCCIC for assistance at njccic@cyber. nj.gov or by visiting the website at cyber. nj.gov.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Are You Taking Medicine That Makes You Gain Weight?

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Some of you are eating like a bird, and still struggling to lose weight. As a pharmacist, I’ve seen it time and time again. Someone comes in looking fit and great, and 6 months later they have 30 pounds on them, and it is out of character, meaning, they’ve been thin all their life. Counting calories won’t matter.

Today’s article will shed light on why your getting heavier and heavier, even though you may be exercising or eating a diet that should keep you slim.

If you’d like a more comprehensive version of this article, sign up for my newsletters at suzycohen.com and I’ll email you every Tuesday with the electronic version of this health blog. Why Tuesday? Because Sam thought of it, he said Tuesdays are Suze-days! LOL. And just recently, I’ve written a new series of newsletters which includes delicious recipes and funny cartoons; these will come to your email on Sundays because Sunday is fun day!

Now, back to the medications that could be making people fat. In no particular order: Estrogen-containing hormones.

This category includes oral contraceptives as well as HRT, hormone replacement therapy. It’s partly because high levels of estrogen cause insulin resistance, and make it harder for you to break down glucose. Your fat cells expand to four times their size. These fake estrogens, as well as pesticides which are also estrogenic, cause a relatively lower amount of testosterone which is needed for lean muscles.

Antidepressants.

The reaction varies, so in some of you, these drugs can cause weight loss during

the first few months. However, it’s often short-lived as many users of antidepressants develop a voracious appetite (especially for carbs) after the initial weight-loss effect.

Steroids.

Hydrocortisone, prednisone and methylprednisone are part of this category and they are popular medications. These corticosteroids are taken by mouth, unlike some of the ones you inhale for the treatment of asthma, so as a result, the oral medications cause more dramatic weight gain. In 2006, a survey showed that about 70% of steroid users gained weight despite trying to exercise and diet.

Antipsychotics.

Clozapine (Clozaril) and olanzapine (Zyprexa) are second generation antipsychotics which are used in the treatment of mental health disorders like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These second generation medications cause serious weight gain!

Insulin.

The weight gain can be dramatic if you take insulin, and it doesn’t matter the type.

It’s such an irony too if you think about it. Insulin is used to treat diabetes, which is frequently associated with obesity, and insulin is the drug used to treat diabetes, but it causes more obesity.

Obviously, if you take these medications, please do commit to a healthy exercise regimen and continue on a clean low fat, low carb diet. But hopefully reading this will give you some peace and the realization that it’s not your fault, and that another medication might exist that isn’t associated with as much weight gain. It’s a good conversation to have with your doctor.

Farmingdale Investment Advisor Admits To Long-Time Fraud Scheme

By Kimberly Bosco FARMINGDALE – A Farmingdale man recently pleaded guilty to a long-running scheme defrauding clients out of more than $3.1 million, forging an attorney’s signature, and preparing false tax returns for clients, according to US Attorney Craig Carpenito.

Forty-three year old Scott Newsholme pleaded guilty before US District Judge Anne E. Thompson in federal court on April 11. He has been charged with wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and preparing fraudulent tax returns.

Newsholme faces a potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fi ne for the wire fraud charge; a mandatory sentence of two years in prison, which must run consecutive to the sentences on the other two counts for the aggravated identity theft charge; and a maximum potential sentence of three years in prison and a $250,000 fi ne for the false tax return charge.

Sentencing is scheduled for July 19, 2018.

Newsholme was charged with mail fraud, wire fraud, and securities fraud back in September of 2017, but was released on bail. Following this, law enforcement charged him with an amended criminal complaint with mail fraud, wire fraud, securities fraud, and aggravated identity in October 2017 after fi nding out he was continuing his scheme.

Since then, Newsholme’s bail was revoked and he was detained pending trial.

According to documents and statements made in court, Newsholme has owned and operated three different fi nancial advisory and tax return preparation businesses since 2002.

Between 2007 and 2017, he recommended to multiple clients that they invest their money with him, which he would use on their behalf to make investments in securities like bond instruments issued by a private New Jersey country club, a bond investment in a video-game production company, investments in the production of a movie, and also mutual funds, an-

nuities, life insurance policies, college education accounts, money market funds, and an escrow account for the purchase of a house.

After directing his clients to write checks out to him or his company to perform these investments, Newsholme cashed the checks and used the money for personal expenses. He allegedly used it for vehicles, bedroom furniture, debits at casinos, bank transfers, and ATM withdrawals, according to documents and statements from court.

By diverting incoming funds to those clients who requested to withdraw their money from their investments, Newsholme was able to cover up his scam for some time. He also gave his clients phony account statements, security instruments, and other documentation that falsely represented to the clients the status of their investments.

Newsholme gave a letter to one of his clients back in October 2017 claiming that the client’s money (approximately $62,000 of it) was being held in an escrow fund. He then forged an attorney’s signature on the letter without authorization from the attorney. In court, Newsholme admitted to the letter forgery.

Also, while preparing false tax returns, Newsholme claimed inf lated deductions for unreimbursed employee business expenses, char itable donations, and medical expenses to which his clients were not entitled.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

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

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates The death of a loved one is a tragic event.

Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved ones passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament.

If such a contest arises, understanding how legal fees could impact Estate assets is critical to know.

Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed, and parties to the Will challenge its contents, the Executor of an Estate may use Estate assets to defend any challenges. So long as the challenge to the Will is a challenge to its validity, interpretation, distribution, or specific clauses, then an Executor may hire an attorney to defend the Estate. Any counsel fees incurred in defending against such challenges to the Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution, would not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, these fees are payable to the Estate. However, when an Executor begins defending claims against non-probate assets, the circumstances change, and certain limitations apply.

Probate assets are any assets that are owned solely by the decedent, and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets can include the following: 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 can include the following: 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.

FREEHOLD – Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni is proud to announce Jeffrey Wilbert, Captain of Detectives in the Criminal Investigations Section of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, is one of 223 graduates of the latest session of the prestigious Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Academy.

“We are extremely delighted with Captain Wilbert’s accomplishment in this class,” said Gramiccioni. “He not only excelled in the class, but also successfully completed the physical challenges offered by the Academy course. His success comes as no surprise given his dedication and professionalism as a respected investigator and officer in this office.”

Joining Captain Wilbert as a graduate of the 271st Session of the National Academy program was Police Chief Andrew Huisman of the Belmar Police Department.

The two Monmouth County law enforcement officers graduated the 10-week program focused on improving the administration of justice in police departments and agencies at home and abroad and to raise law enforcement standards, knowledge, and cooperation worldwide. The highly acclaimed professional course of study for U.S. and international law enforcement managers offers a curriculum focused on intelligence theory, terrorism and terrorist mindsets, management science, law, behavioral science, law enforcement communication, and forensic science.

The men were nominated by their agency heads because of demonstrated leadership qualities.

“The professional and personal development gained at the National Academy will defi nitely enhance Jeff’s law enforcement skills. The knowledge and both the national and international contacts developed at the National Academy will not only benefit him but also the entire agency. We are proud of Captain Wilbert’s success and determination to build on his professionalism,” said John McCabe, Chief of Detectives at the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office.

Wilbert successfully completed the “Yellow Brick Road” physical fitness challenge, a grueling 6.1-mile run through a hilly, wooded trail built by the U.S. Marines Corps, and also successfully completed the “Blue Brick,” a 34 mile swim - completed

in 30 days and the “Half Ironman Triathlon Challenge Tile,” 70.3 mile swim, bike, run - completed over 3 consecutive evenings during Week 9.

“Attending the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy was an amazing experience, especially being surrounded by so many respected domestic and international law enforcement executive leaders for 10 weeks,” said Captain Wilbert. “As we in law enforcement work hard to forge relationships with our communities, it is also extremely important that we expand our law enforcement communication and networks.”

Wilbert began his law enforcement career in 1995. He is a graduate of the Monmouth County Police Academy and spent the next 10 years for Manasquan, Colts Neck and Ocean Township police departments. He was hired by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office in 2005, where he has spent the majority of his career in the Major Crimes Bureau where has worked or supervised the investigation violent crimes.

The 223 law enforcement officers who graduated from the National Academy came from 48 states, the District of Columbia, 18 countries, five military organizations, and five federal civilian organizations. The FBI National academy Program at Quantico, Virginia, is recognized around the world for its academic excellence.

The 10-week course offers an advanced communication, leadership, and fitness training. The program is offered to select officers with proven professional records within their agencies. On average, the officers selected to attend the program have 21 years of law enforcement experience and many return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions.

Training for the program is provided by the FBI Academy instructional staff, Special Agents, and other staff members holding advanced degrees with many recognized internationally in their fields of expertise.

“Although I was the one who attended the National Academy this session, our agency, county and state were all represented in the highest regard,” said Captain Wilbert.

“In order for this opportunity to happen, many thanks go to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Executive Staff for their endorsement and support, to those who covered for me during the academy, and especially to my wife and family.”

NJ Tree Recovery Campaign Provides Free Tree Seedlings To Howell Residents

HOWELL – Free tree seedlings will be available to Howell Township residents in the month of April as part of the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign. This program helps com munities replace trees damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.

From 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on April 21, residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at the Howell Township Public Works Garage, 278 Old Tavern Road, Howell.

Seedlings are available on a first come, first served basis, also come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full-grown size in the future.

Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order

to prevent the roots from drying out.

The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute over 500,000 tree seedlings to New Jersey residents over the course of five years. It is a joint effort between Howell Township, New Jersey Forest Service, New Jersey Soil Conser vation Dist r icts, Sustainable Jersey, Arbor Day Foundation, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Canon, and FedEx. W hen properly planted and maintained, trees can be assets to a community. They improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood or business district, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.

For a list of all distribution locations across the state, visit forestry.nj.gov or facebook.com/newjerseyforests.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Remembering Paul Bocuse: MyVersion Of A Simple Potato Dish FromThe Legendary French Chef’s Hometown

By Wolfgang Puck LYONNAISE POTATOES Serves 6 1/2 pound (250 g) unsalted butter 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced 3 large Idaho or baking potatoes, peeled 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper First, make clarified butter: Put the butter in a heavy pan over low heat. Cook until it stops bubbling and the liquid butter is clear, about 30 minutes. Carefully pour off the clear liquid into a clean container, leaving behind and then discarding the solids that have formed on the pan’s bottom. Set aside 4 tablespoons of the clarified butter; transfer the rest to an airtight, where it will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced onion and saute, stirring frequently, until it turns a light golden brown, 5 to

7 minutes. Set aside.

With a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into uniform slices 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick; do not soak them in water after slicing. Immediately toss the slices in a mixing bowl with the remaining 3 tablespoons clarified butter and the salt and pepper.

On the bottom of a round 10-inch (25-cm) baking pan, arrange half of the sliced potatoes in a single layer. Cover with the sauteed onions, spreading them evenly. Top with the remaining potato slices.

Bake in the oven until the potatoes on top are deep golden brown and crispy, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and, with a thin spatula inserted into one side, check the underside of the potato cake. If it doesn’t look sufficiently brown, cook a few minutes longer on a stovetop burner over high heat.

With heatproof oven pads or gloves protecting both hands, carefully clasp together the platter and pan and invert them; then, carefully lift off the pan to unmold the potatoes. Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut the potatoes into wedges. Serve immediately.
