By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – At a recent council meeting, the council approved a resolution that would authorize the sale of the property at 5998 Rt. 9 in Howell, also k now n as Dest i ny’s Br idge homeless encampment.

The property, known as Block 71, Lot 21, will go out to bid for $1,355,000.

In 2017, the council passed a resolution authorizing the land to be used by Destiny’s Bridge to become an encampment for the homeless to reside. Since then, the camp has garnered some attention through donations and drives to help serve the homeless.

Ma ny proponent s for t he camp, including camp leader Minister Steve Brigham, came out to the meeting to express concerns over the sale of the (Homeless - See Page 2)

Howell Recognizes Autism Awareness

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – During a recent Township Council meeting, Councilman Robert Walsh read a proclamation recognizing April as Autism Awareness Month. Walsh also contributed a few heartfelt words about his son, who is autistic.

“Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder affecting the social learning and behavioral skills,” read Walsh. “As more and more health professionals get proficient in diagnosing autism, more children are being ranked on the autism spectrum…as high as 1 in 68 children.”

He remarked that autism is also the fastest growing mental health disability with no cure as of yet. The proclamation noted that with help early on, those diagnosed with autism can make significant strides.

Walsh also took a moment during reports to talk about his own son, who is autistic and lives in a group home in South Jersey. He gave

a very emotional thank you to the township.

“They really are making significant strides…compared to when my son started here 20 years ago,” he said. “I’ll forever be indebted to Howell for all that the community has done for my son and for many other young guys and girls like him.”

He said that despite already having come a long way in helping those with diagnoses like autism, he thinks we still need to go further.

The council also read proclamations recognizing Arbor Day and Paint the Town Pink in May for breast cancer awareness.

Water Main Projects Introduced

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – The Howell Township council introduced two ordinances at a recent meeting that would provide for the construction of water mains on sections of Route 9 and Freewood Acres.

The streets to be serviced in Freewood Acres are located on both northbound and southbound sides of Route 9, in between Interstate 195 and Sunnyside Road, according to the ordinance. The township is appropriating $9,258,188 for the Freewood Acres project, $8,795,279 of which will be bonded for.

The area on Route 9 to be serviced is located along the northbound side of Rt. 9, in between West Farms Road and Casino Drive, according to the ordinance. The township is appropriating $3,454,207 for the Route 9 project, $3,281,497 of which will be bonded for.

Director of Community Development Jim Herrman noted that although the ordinances state the project as “the construction of sanitary sewer main and laterals (including property connections),” it will only be introducing water lines into these areas. “Water only, no sewer,” he said.

The council also approved a resolution to amend the 2018 proposed capital budget to include these two projects and the expenses therein.

Herrman said the ordinances “are essentially giving us the authorization to proceed, we have some final details we are working out with (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection) right now.”

After those details are worked out, the township will be sending the NJDEP a final notice so they can go out to bid on the project, he added. “Assuming we get their approval we could potentially be out to bid by, realistically, June.”

Herrman said we are looking at construction to begin around the fall.

“We’ll potentially have our biggest project that we’ve ever undertaken here in Howell when we start.”

Minister Brigham was the f irst to speak up, than king the council profusely for allowing the encampment to exist on the land for a year so far. “It has helped tremendously in live, real people…who other wise would be in dire straits.”

Brigham said that he has personally experienced living in a tent for 11 years.

As Brigham and Mayor Theresa Berger noted, the placement of Destiny’s Bridge at 5998 Rt. 9 in Howell was worked on together between the council

and representatives of the encampment last year.

Brigham called on his family’s personal history in the US to draw a deeper connection to his ethics. “I’m a 12th generation American myself. Thomas Brigham came in 1635 as a Puritan…he left the comforts of England and Europe and sacrificed and settled in the wilderness of America…because of ethics.”

He called on the need for ethical reasoning and human dignity, when it comes to working with the homeless or underprivileged.

“I feel it’s my American duty to stand up for ou r A mer ica n et h ics a nd to sacrifice as my forefathers did,” said

Brigham.

In response to Brigham’s call to arms, Mayor Berger said that she believed the council did use good ethics in the beginning stages of working with Destiny’s Bridge, however, they still maintain an “ethical responsibility to the township.”

Berger explained that the property, if sold, could help lower property taxes for Howell residents. “It’s 12 people versus 55,000.”

“I look forward to continue to work with you to find another location or another area where you can relocate to,” she added.

Berger and Councilman Robert Walsh

discussed, at the meeting, the possibility of working with the people of Destiny’s Bridge to help post pone a contract, should one come up, and to help the camp relocate in the meantime.

A few residents or proponents of the encampment came up to speak, thanking the council for the use of the land and urging them to work collaboratively with the homeless community to find other temporary solutions.

A representative of the board of Destiny’s Bridge remarked that she was “very heartened at the mayor’s words…that they aren’t going to throw us out, and I never doubted that.”

Wool Days Spring Festival To Be “Shearly Delightful”

HOLMDEL – April, with blooming crocuses and budding trees, has always held the promise of warmer, joy filled days. The Monmouth County Historical Association, in partnership with the Monmouth County Park System, will celebrate this new season with the Wool Days Spring Festival; a fun, family oriented event hearkening back to an earlier era.

Join in the fun at MCHA historic property Holmes-Hendrickson House and the Monmouth County Park System’s Longstreet Farm in Holmdel Saturday, April 28 and Sunday April 29 from noon to 3 p.m. Wool Days is free and open to the public.

Based on an age-old springtime custom, the Wool Days Spring Festival begins at Longstreet Farm where the resident sheep will be shorn of their winter coats. After observing the herding skills of clever collies and the technique of veteran shearers, participants can take a wagon ride to the historic Holmes-Hendrickson House.

There, costumed interpreters will be demonstrating spinning and weaving practices from the 18th century while visitors can take a turn at the loom, pitch in and “card” recently cropped wool and learn the art of indigo dyeing, creating a treat to take home. Docents will conduct tours of the circa 1754 home, a rare surviving example of Georgian and Dutch vernacular architecture that illustrates 18th century everyday farm life in Monmouth County.

Much like the small community markets that brought together neighbors in Colonial times, the MCHA has also invited local artisans to participate in a craft fair on the Holmes Hendrickson grounds featuring a wide variety of items to peruse.

Holmes-Hendrickson House is located at 62 Longstreet Road and Longstreet Farm at 44 Longstreet Road both in Holmdel. Activities at Holmes-Hendrickson House will take place rain or shine.

Please check with Longstreet Farm for any schedule changes due to inclement weather.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Celebrate National Volunteer Month All Year Long As National Volunteer Month comes to a close, it is important that we continue to celebrate the work of local volunteers and promote the importance of volunteer service in our communities throughout the year.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties is a volunteer-driven organization with over 700 mentors dedicating themselves as role models to children in our program. Our volunteer mentors, also known as “Bigs,” encourage children to thrive and succeed in their everyday lives by providing individualized attention and guidance that every child needs.

BBBSMMC would not be where it is today without our volunteers and I thank them for their commitment.

BBBSMMC provides 1-to-1 mentoring for youth ages 6-18, also known as “Littles” in the program, through our Community, School, and Beyond School Walls Programs. By placing children in a quality mentoring relationship, we provide them with the tools they need to be competent, confident, and caring members of their community.

Each time we pair a child with a Big Brother or Big Sister, a new relationship is formed that will be built on trust and a new friendship will blossom into a future

of unlimited potential.

Currently, we have over 60 children who are waiting to be matched with their own Big Brother or Big Sister. In as little as 4-6 hours per month, you can mentor a child and empower them to become a strong young adult capable of reaching their life’s goals. Our Littles often continue on to become leaders in their own right, elevating other individuals around them.

While the BBBS mentorship program does not last forever, the relationship you foster with your Little can last a lifetime. Giving these children good role models teaches them to explore beyond their comfort zone while knowing that there will always be someone there to support them.

National Volunteer Month does not have to be limited to April alone. You can live the ideals and values that this month carries by becoming a Big for BBBSMMC. Being a mentor is an enriching experience that touches many lives beyond your own. Give your time and apply to be a Big by at bbbsmmc.org/apply-now.

The life you change just might be your own.

William Salcedo Executive Director, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties

Letters To The Editor Wage Gap Must Be Closed Something needs to be done about i ncome i nequality. It is not right that CEOs walk away with incomes 300 times higher than the average worker.

Yes, some CEOs work hard. Three hundred times harder than the average employee though? That’s doubtf ul. T he g rowi ng wage gap is dist urbing and truly a human rights violation.

I urge Tom MacArthur to introduce legislation to combat income inequality.

Women and men should be paid equal wages. Minor it ie s shou ld not be further marginalized and disadvantaged. The United States is the wealthiest nation on earth, yet the top 1 percent has received the vast majority of wages increased due to productivity.

Tech nolog y is not to blame. Humans are. The system is set up so that those i n power st ay i n power. Wages have been stagnant for four decades now. Minimum wage used to be able to sustain a single individual, now it is impossible to live off of minimum wage. No one should work for t y plus hours a week and live in poverty.

The Art Of The Deal In North Korea When Donald Trump took office, he mentioned from the beginning that it would be great if the potential nuclear threat from North Korea can be “dealt with.”

Most everyone including all political types, historians, news junkies, and me felt it was a 1,000 to one longshot that President Trump can be successful.

It has been historically impossible to make a deal that sticks with North Ko-

Letters rea. It was thoughtTo they The throughout Editor my lifetime. my medical bills continue talk and delay and talk and delay, etc.

President Trump, our new posit ive th i n k i ng, deal making, optimist has been making friends with worldwide powers, looking at leverage among all the countries, and looking for a chance to approach North Korea and open a line of communication.

In the meantime, he kept increasing the sanctions on North Korea in many areas.

A deal to have North Korea stop trying to be a nuclear power will be hard to make, and will have to include a lot of specifics about “inspection” to document North Korea’s activities.

It does seem that President Trump’s hard work is paying off a little bit, and North Korea and President Trump will soon chat about “denuclearization,” whatever that means.

I think the odds of making a deal have been lowered from 1000 to one to 15 to one. Let us stand behind President Trump and hope he can keep lowering the odds, with the sanctions doing their job, and many countries helping by exerting international pressure for the fi rst time.

Save Pre-existing Conditions In Health Care As with most people, I have serious concerns about my Congressman Tom MacArthur as it relates to health care. Especially because as the author of the “MacArthur Amendment” he worked to weaken provisions in the Affordable Care Act for people with pre-existing conditions. That’s because of Marfan Syndrome, a pre-existing condition I have had since birth that has required constant care

I am only alive today because of the exceptional care I’ve been given to address a myriad of related problems as a result of this condition, most notably, due to the effect on my heart.

Recently, I attended a vigil at my Congressman’s office. That’s because it was Tax Day - and we are being asked to pay the price for the huge permanent tax breaks that Congress enacted to aid corporations and wealthy campaign donors while they shor tchange our future. Representative MacArthur was the only New Jersey Congressman to support the tax legislation. It will increase the budget deficit, which results in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and other important priorities. Congress is already proposing cuts to food assistance, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

In 2010, I had my first life-saving open heart surgery that, at 46, left me unable to work and began a 10-year odyssey of trying to regain my health and some semblance of the life I had prior. Not seven months later, the prosthetic valve replacement thrombosed and yet again, because of an accurate and quick diagnosis at Jersey Shore followed by emergency open heart surgery at N Y Presby ter ian by some of the best physicians and surgeons in the field, I survived.

While I was fortunate to be taken care of under my husband’s insurance he has through work, I was unable to return to work on my own and filed for disability.

One of the greatest benefits of this was receiving Medicare coverage which has been a godsend over the last seven - eight years as

to mount with additional related (and non-related) surgeries and treatments.

Since my second open heart surgery, I have been hospitalized nine different times, including two eye surgeries, a hysterectomy, breast cancer, wound care, and on dialysis for acute kidney failure. This does not include any of the supportive or follow-up care I’ve required as a result - visiting nurses, physical therapy - or medications which we pay out of pocket.

Medicare has provided the gap that has helped us make it through by picking up where my husband’s coverage ends. It has literally saved us thousands of dollars in co-pays and extending benefits when we have exhausted what we are entitled to through his plan.

This has been especially important as the premium he pays for coverage rises exponentially every year, our share being close to $600 a month out of pocket, getting us to a point where we really wonder if it can be considered “employee sponsored health insurance” anymore.

It’s too expensive to be sick or infi rm in America, yet we have the greatest access to healthcare technology and innovation the world has ever k now n.

I’m alive today because of it and Medicare over the last seven years has made it possible for me to have access to it. Instead of making cuts to programs we depend on, we should make sure the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes so we can look out for one each other when disaster strikes, because it can strike any of us, at any time.

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

Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone Spring is finally here! It’s great to see the trees and flowers begin to bloom and show signs that warmer weather is on its way. I hope everyone has been able to enjoy time outside and hopefully visit some Grown in Monmouth properties!

I’d like to thank everyone who participated in Earth Day events throughout the county, including beach sweeps and property cleanups. I had the chance to visit with volunteers who were cleaning up the area surrounding Shark River.

On another environmental note, I joined several other elected officials last week in supporting bipartisan legislation that bans offshore drilling along the coast of New Jersey. Freeholder Pat Impreveduto and I joined Ocean County Freeholder Joseph Vicari, Congressman Chris Smith and Congressman Frank Joseph Pallone, among others, during Governor Murphy’s bill signing on this matter in Point Pleasant Beach on April 20.

My fellow Freeholders and I

From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith POINT PLEASANT BEACH - Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th), dean of the New Jersey Congressional delegation, delivered excerpts of the following remarks at Point Pleasant Beach at the signing of the STOP Offshore Oil and Gas Act by New

Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy: “Special thanks to Governor Murphy for his invitation to join him as he signs this extraordinarily important legislation to ban oil and gas exploration, development and production in State waters that is to say, within three nautical

already voiced our own opinion against offshore drilling in our own resolution a few months ago.

This law is crucial, as Monmouth County accounts for 27 miles of the 127-mile New Jersey coastal shoreline. I’m glad a law is now in place to prevent such infrastructure off our coast.

While I agreed with this piece of legislation out of Trenton, I do have some concerns with another bill that our lawmakers have been considering during the last few weeks.

There is currently a proposal that would require counties to rename the “Board of Chosen Freeholders” to “Board of County Commissioners.” This

legislation would also require counties to update materials to reflect this title change.

As I have already publicly stated, I can tell you that no matter what our title is, my colleagues and I will continue to focus our efforts on cutting costs and maintaining a high quality of life for our residents. However, if this legislation is signed into law, it would only amount to one more unfunded mandate out of Trenton that would place undue financial burden on counties.

The sole reason I am not in favor of this legislation is the fact that counties would be forced to incur the costs of changing the official name on literature

and signage.

Again, as I have stated in the recent weeks, it is my hope that our state representatives refocus their efforts and energy on finding ways to reduce the cost of living in one of the most heavily taxed states in the nation.

On a lighter note, I am proud to be a board member for the Ashley Lauren Foundation. For those unfamiliar with this foundation, its mission is to assist children with cancer. I attended the foundation’s annual gala last week and I was so happy to see such a great turnout for such a worthy cause. I’d like to thank Monica, the foundation’s founder, and the rest of the board for their tireless

efforts around the year.

Lastly, I am happy to report we had another successful Made in Monmouth event this year. Hundreds of local small businesses were able to sell their products to the thousands of attendees who made their way through the OceanFirst Bank Center at Monmouth University earlier this month. I am proud to have helped launch this initiative that supports small businesses when I joined the Freeholder board and I am happy to see it grow every year. I must thank all of the staff and county personnel who helped coordinate this event.

As always, it’s a pleasure to serve as Freeholder Director.

STOP Offshore Oil And Gas Act Effectively Halts Drilling

miles from our coastline.

“By prohibiting ‘any pipeline or other infrastructure that transports oil or natural gas from production facilities located in federal waters or other coastal state waters in the Atlantic Ocean through New Jersey State waters, and any land-based support facilities…’ the STOP Offshore Oil and Gas Act makes drilling now or into the future nearly impossible.

“Why is all of this important?

Opening the waters off the coast of New Jersey to oil and gas exploration, development and production poses catastrophic risks to our 127-mile shoreline, tourism, marine habitat, plant life and fishing.

“Seldom has any issue united the people of New Jersey, the congressional delegation, the State Legislature and local public officials as our opposition

to offshore oil and gas drilling.

“The biggest takeaways from a meeting a group of us had with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on February 27th was that the dearth of oil or gas reserves off our coast and the lack of existing shoreline infrastructure including pipelines meant we weren’t likely to be on the final list. But ‘likely’ doesn’t mean we’re in the clear. Significantly, as of today, any shoreline

infrastructure designed to enable oil or gas development is comprehensively prohibited by state law.

“Let’s not forget that the last three presidents - Bush, Obama and now Trump - have all initially proposed offshore drilling off our coast.

“The legislation the governor just signed is our best insurance policy to ensure that doesn’t happen now - or ever.”

Tackling Opioid Addiction Starts With How You Treat Pain

PATERSON, N.J. - U.S. Senators Bob Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee that sets national health policy, joined Sen. Cory Booker and Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson to discuss bipartisan, bicameral legislation the lawmakers introduced to help boost hospitals’ resources in the fi ght against opioid addiction.

“The ALTO program here at St. Joe’s is at the forefront of innovative thinking and new approaches to treating pain - to fighting opioid addiction,” said Sen. Menendez. “This creative thinking and willingness to approach health care delivery in new ways is critical to moving our health care system forward, tackling the scourge of addiction, and saving

lives. We want to see every hospital and provider across New Jersey and across this nation follow St. Joe’s lead, and our bill provides the necessary federal resources to help make it possible.”

The Alternatives to Opioids (ALTO) in the Emergency Department Act would establish a national demonstration program, based on the successful program implemented at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in 2016, to test alternative pain management protocols to limit the use of opioids in hospital emergency departments nationwide. Language from the bill is included in a legislative package scheduled for committee markup in the Senate.

Sens. Menendez and Booker and Rep. Pascrell were joined by health professionals, advocates, and individ-

uals impacted by the opioid epidemic at a news conference outside the emergency department.

The lawmakers convened a statewide summit in 2016 at St. Joe’s - which had just launched its ALTO program - to explore solutions to the heroin and opioid addiction epidemic gripping New Jersey and the nation.

In just two years since implementing ALTO, St. Joe’s has successfully reduced opioid prescriptions in their emergency room by 82%.

Recently, Sen. Menendez toured a recovery center in Elizabeth, where he met with experts and individuals in recovery, and announced a budget agreement he supported that provided an additional $6 billion to fund the national fight against the opioid crisis. The senator is also an original cosponsor

of the Combating the Opioid Epidemic Act, which would authorize $45 billion over ten years for opioid abuse treatment, prevention, detection, and surveillance programs.

Sen. Menendez cosponsored the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA), signed into law in 2016, which provides resources to states to expand disposal sites for unwanted prescription drugs and to develop better monitoring systems for prescription drug use, makes naloxone more widely available to law enforcement agencies and other first responders to help prevent overdoses and save lives, creates an evidence-based opioid and heroin treatment and intervention program, and sets national treatment standards.

The senator has success-

fully pushed back Republican efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and the Medicaid expansion, which gives thousands of New Jerseyans access to vital mental health and substance abuse services. Sen. Menendez visited a community health center in Newark, where he met recovering addicts who credited Medicaid with saving their lives.

Last May, Sen. Menendez helped lead a group of 28 senators in calling for increased federal funding to help combat the opioid and illicit drug abuse epidemic.

Sen. Menendez pressed U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell during a Senate Finance Committee hearing in February 2016 to expand access to medication assisted treatment options, which led HHS a month

later to move to double the current patient limit for qualified physicians who prescribe buprenorphine to treat opioid use disorders.

Sens. Menendez and Booker hosted a 2016 forum on the opioid epidemic with the U.S. Surgeon General, local doctors, treatment providers, and advocates. They partnered with local law enforcement to promote National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day and encouraged New Jerseyans to discard all unwanted narcotic pain killers and other prescription drugs at participating local police stations and county prosecutor ’s offices. Sen. Menendez held another strategy session in the fall of 2015 to discuss drug treatment options and programs, access to medications, and explore ways the federal government can help.

Top Honors For Preferred Home Health Care

By Fran Kirschner EATONTOWN – Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services-Acelleron ranked among the top 25 as one of the 2018 Best Workplaces in Health Care and Biopharma in Fortune magazine’s Great Place to Work.

Jonathan Herman, COO of Preferred, said, “This amazing accomplishment, in which we bested much bigger, larger, and national companies, including the Mayo Clinic and the American Heart Association, is a testament to the core culture that we’ve cultivated and the company we continue to build.”

Ranking was based on employees’ assessments of the pride they take in their jobs, the camaraderie they experience with coworkers, and the trust they feel toward Preferred’s leaders.

Among other comments, employees at Preferred said, “I’m proud to tell others I work here; People celebrate events around here; Management trusts people to do a good job without watching over their shoulders; I feel good about the ways we contribute to the community; Management is honest and ethical in its business practices.”

Preferred offers several employee-centric programs. Preferred One Wish allows every employee to submit one wish they would like to see fulfilled in the upcoming year.

For example, one of the clinicians requested a Kindle with braille features for a client with visual disabilities. Wish granted!

As part of the program Preferred Honor Roll, at the end of every quarter each division manager gets to nominate one of their employees who went above and beyond for the preceding three months. That employee receives a $150 gift card as a reward.

Other employee benefit programs include a free car seat of their choosing for every internal employee, male or female, who is expecting a child. All internal female employees are entitled to 12 weeks of fully paid maternity leave at their annualized salary rate. All male employees are entitled to two weeks of fully paid paternity leave at their annualized salary rate.

Preferred also offers partial or full tuition reimbursement to internal employees.

NJ Medicinal Marijuana Program Now Accessible On Mobile Platforms

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health recently announced that you can now access the NJ Medical Marijuana Program on mobile platforms, where you can perform tasks such as register, upload documents and make payments from your phone or tablet.

“Continuing our focus on improving the consumer experience in the Medicinal Marijuana Program, for the first time since the program’s inception, the website is now mobile friendly,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “With the rise in smartphone and tablet usage, providing mobile access to the Medicinal Marijuana program is a great first step.”

In addition, the Department is also investing $50,000 into a public awareness campaign, which aims to inform physicians and patients of expanded medical conditions. The public awareness campaign will consist of social media, a radio PSA by the Health Commissioner and online advertising.

Not to mention, the Department plans to produce a webinar this spring, where the Commissioner can teach lectures for medical students, residents and other physicians throughout NJ. Commissioner Elnahal submitted a report of the NJ Medical Marijuana Program that contained over 20 reforms to the program, of which mobile access was one. With this report, the program has now added five new

medical conditions – including anxiety, migraines, Tourette’s syndrome, chronic pain related to musculoskeletal disorders, and chronic visceral pain –, reduced patient and caregiver fees, allowed dispensaries to submit waivers to add satellite locations, proposed changes in law that would increase the monthly product limit for patients, and allow those in hospice care to have an unlimited supply.

The Alternative Treatment Centers have submitted three satellite waiver requests so far.

Some of the changes to the program include: • Lowered biennial patient registration fee, from $200 to $100 • Veterans and seniors were added to list of those who qualify for the $20 discounted registration fee.

• Program was elevated to a Division level • New Assistant commissioner is Jeff Brown.

Currently, 19,216 patients, 577 physicians, and 870 caregivers participate in the program.

For more information on program reforms, visit nj.gov/health/medicalmarijuana/documents/EO6Report_Final.pdf. Consumers, physicians, and business owners with questions about the report can email inquiries to MMPquestions@doh.nj.gov. For more information about medical marijuana in NJ, visit nj.gov/health/medicalmarijuana.

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

Marijuana Coming To A Pharmacy Near You

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. As a pharmacist for almost 30 years, I have to tell you I never thought I’d live to see the day when an advisory committee to the FDA unanimously voted to approve a pot-related drug, known as Epidiolex.

It is making a lot of people scratch their heads in wonder, for many reasons: 1. Does this mean pot is legal? No 2. Will this drug be sold at stores without a prescription? No 3. Is it going to make people high. No The FDA’s move to prescriptionize a cannabis-related drug is stunning to most, but to me. It’s really no surprise considering the pressure they’ve been under these past few years. You see, parents of children with seizures have become activists, and have been all over regulatory agencies, such as the FDA to change the laws.

Why? Because conventional medicine like benzodiazepines, phenytoin, valproate, gabapentin and/or carbamazepine weren’t always clinically successful.

Children were becoming seriously injured or disabled from seizure-related accidents. Many died in their mother’s or father’s arms. Families were going bankrupt. Somewhere along the way, word got out that an extract called CBD (cannabidiol) from the cannabis sativa plant (ie pot) could stop the seizures and make some of these kids go from catatonic, to normal with one special cookie!

Epidiolex is causing a lot of consumer confusion, as well as heartache in Colorado, which is the state I live in.

By the way, you make your own form of cannabis every single day, and this

naturally-produced compound binds to the cannabis receptor in the same exact way as if you had smoked a joint! You have “pot” receptors all over your body.

Colorado-based dispensaries have been in business for decades, and we are experiencing a population explosion in my state, primarily because we have what I call a “Pot Rush” going on, which is akin to the Gold Rush in the 1850’s, except now the commodity is weed, not gold.

Epidiolex is pure CBD. There’s no psychoactive THC in it. This drug will require a prescription. The problem here is that dispensaries in Colorado can’t sell FDA approved drugs, like Epidiolex, and likewise, pharmacies in Colorado can’t sell cannabis-containing products!

Parents in every state (except Colorado) will soon be able to go to the pharmacy to get the drug, once it is approved and on the pharmacy shelf. You will need a prescription. FYI, cannabis-related products can and do help with dozens of conditions, especially symptoms of insomnia, pain, autism, high anxiety, inflammatory (cancer) and autoimmune disorders. I have a longer version of this article that I can send to you if you sign up for my newsletter, at my website, suzycohen.com.

In summary, Epidiolex is different from medical marijuana, mainly because it does not contain any THC whatsoever, and also because it is FDA approved, and standardized. It is the most potent form of CBD currently available, and it can’t be sold by dispensaries. Once it hits the U.S. market, it will only be available at pharmacies nationwide, with the exception of pharmacies in Colorado.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Holidays At My House

Dear Joel, Every Memorial Day weekend our families get together for a weekend bash. My sister Julie is always the host, but this year I want to do it. Two years ago my husband and I bought a lovely lake house. I want the family to enjoy a big cook out, games, music and even some fireworks at the lake. How can I persuade everyone to come to my house and try something new without setting off the fireworks early?

ANSWER: First of all, what a great tradition! So many families never make time for each other. She seems like she really likes being a host, but does she know you really want to open your home to the family? Has she been to your home? Ask

again and if she resists, invite as many people as you can for a non-holiday gathering and let them see how much fun a new setting can be. Post the pictures and videos of all the fun.

Maybe you can start a new tradition, a family get together on a random weekend in the summer. That way you’ll have even more good times together.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Dina Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many people ask their attorneys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you intend to purchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mortgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home.

Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the property that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase.

Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide you with legal assistance and take corrective measures in the event you are sued. Fortunately,

unlike automobile insurance where you pay your premium annually, Dina M. Vicari Esq. monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home.

It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made.

An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing.

While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. 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 Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

FOOT CHANGES DURING PREGNANCY

During the course of pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes many hormonal and physiological changes. One particular hormone that is produced during pregnancy relaxes ligaments so that they can stretch in preparation for birth. This hormone can also relax the ligaments in the feet. As a result, the feet may become longer and/ or wider. Added body weight from the growing fetus puts additional pressure on the feet, especially when standing or walking. Arches tend to flatten in order to distribute the added weight for increased stability. Some women’s feet gradually return to their normal shape after pregnancy, and other women’s feet remain larger in size. Consult a podiatrist if foot changes during pregnancy are causing pain or discomfort.

Foot aches and pains come from many sources—the demands of pregnancy, too much physical exertion, improper shoes, muscular imbalances, structural problems, disease and infection, neglect, trauma, and heredity. Don’t let foot problems ruin your good times—treat your feet with the respect they deserve. If your feet are cramping your lifestyle, professional care is in order. For comprehensive foot care for everyone in your family, we welcome your call at FAMILY FOOT HEALTH CENTER, (732) 370-1100. We’re located at 4527 US Highway 9.

HINT: Studies suggest that a woman’s first pregnancy has the greatest impact on changes in foot size.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of APRIL 28 - may 4

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Tick all the boxes. In the week ahead, you may have plenty of energy at your disposal. If you are organized and prioritize your work, you can get what you want in record time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Embrace benevolent instincts. They make it easy to forgive those who have not been fair. In the week to come you will be able to achieve a compromise and create some good karma.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make intelligent choices. Your mind may be like a steel trap, so don’t let it get rusty.

In the week ahead, achieve your goals through shrewd maneuvering and make your family happy too.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the week ahead, you may focus on moneymaking activities. You can’t relax and have fun until everything has a place and is in its place. You like to be prepared for every contingency.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The more you think, the more you develop links. In the week ahead, you might consider turning a hobby into an income producing project or invite friends to participate in a business venture.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dreams and inspiration are a necessity, but relentless and continuous effort will bring you the greatest success. In the week to come avoid being overly influenced by someone’s vague promises.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Loosen up.

In the upcoming week don’t treat family members with the same formality with which you treat business acquaintances.

Use different guidelines for different groups of people.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming week you may have ample opportunities to spend more time doing the things you like to do, with the people you like. Your mind will be energized by provocative subjects.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get the best bang for your buck. In the week ahead, you should be more savvy than usual about purchases, business deals and financial investments. Exercise thriftiness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Run your life like a well-oiled machine. You have enormous drive and energy in the upcoming week. Spend time with friends or be part an active participant in group activities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There may be an opening to join a local group or organization in the week ahead. New contacts may enrich your life, but where your wallet is concerned be sure to read the fine print carefully.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There is safety in numbers. Peer pressure will keep you safe when a romantic fantasy tends to distract you from the facts. As this week unfolds focus on being careful with your money.

Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).

Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes: With a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut the potatoes into very thin rounds as thin as potato chips. Arrange on a baking sheet in one layer and pour enough of the clarified butter over them to coat both sides, reserving a little for brushing the fish fillets. Season with salt and pepper, and bake until tender but not yet browning, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Next, prepare the sauce. In a 10-inch (25-cm) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and saute until glossy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the red wine, port and balsamic vinegar; season with pepper and thyme. Boil until reduced by about half.

Stir in the fish stock, and continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken. Carefully puree in a blender, in batches if necessary, following manufacturer’s instructions to avoid splattering. Return to the skillet. You should have about 1 1/2 cups (375 mL). Stir in the cream, and cook 1 minute longer.

Strain into a clean pan and whisk in the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep warm.

Raise the oven temperature to 500 F (260 C).

Brush the fish fillets with some of the reserved clarified butter, and season with salt, pepper and a touch of thyme. Brush a baking sheet with olive oil, and place the fillets on it, evenly spaced apart.

Arrange the potato slices, one overlapping the other, on each fillet, covering the fillets to resemble scales on a fish. Bake in the hot oven for 4 minutes. Move the baking sheet under the broiler and turn on the broiler; watching carefully to avoid burning, broil until the potatoes turn golden and crispy, around 3 minutes longer.

Spoon some sauce in the center of each heated serving plate.

Using a wide spatula, place one or two fillets on top of the sauce on each plate. Garnish with pinches of thyme, and serve immediately, passing extra sauce on the side.
