New Crosswalk Approved By Howell High

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – At a recent meeting, the Howell Township council approved an agreement between the township and the Howell Board of Education that would allow for the construction of a crosswalk at Southard Avenue.

The resolution stated that the crosswalk would be a “mid-block crossing and signal on Southard Avenue (County Route 21) beginning at a point six hundred and fifty (650) feet southwest (east on Monmouth County Straight Line Diagrams) from the centerline intersection of Squankum-Yellowbrook Road (County Route 524A) extending to a point eight (8) feet further southwest.”

This location is between the property of Howell High School and the fields of Howell Middle School North.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT TAKES OVER TOWN COUNCIL

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – A group of seventh grade students from the Howell School District took their seats on the dais as the township council members and township clerk for Student Government Day. The students followed the script, reading from the Open Public Meetings Act to begin the meeting, directing the pledge of allegiance, and even reading off proclamations.

The proclamations included: • Adopt a Cat Month, June 2018

• •

Flag Day, June 14, 2018 American Eagle Day, June 20, 2018 • Eat Your Vegetables Day, June 17, 2018 • Safety Month, June 2018 • Student Mayor Christopher Abt moderated the meeting. The Student Council also provided council member reports regarding what they learned throughout the day at town hall, as part of the student government program.

They discussed the K-9 and ambulance demonstrations (Council - See Page 4)

Council:

Continued From Page 1 provided by Howell Police and EMS, noting that they learned a lot.

“The K-9 demonstration…was one of my favorites,” said student council member Riley Borenstein. She added that the work that the dogs do with the police was “truly amazing.”

“We got to meet a lot of important people,” said student council member Jaden Bostik, remarking that they met the Monmouth County Freeholders.

“We had a very eventful day, being able to speak with many politicians in our town of Howell and doing many activities that helped us learn about how each individual plays a role in our community,” said Abt. “I think this was a very beneficial day.”

Mayor Theresa Berger took to the podium during public comment to thank the students.

“You’re very professional when you’re sitting up there, you do a better job than

we do I think,” she joked.

Superintendent of the Howell School District Joseph Isola also congratulated the students on a job well done, noting that they have given the district “a great source of pride.”

The student council members were selected from their essays on “If I were mayor, these are the things I would do to boost student civic engagement to get students involved in government and public service” in order to participate in Student Government Day. Student mayor Abt read his winning letter during the meeting about creating a youth center for the community.

“If I were mayor, I would create a youth center to boost student civic engagement and get students involved in government and public service,” read Abt. “This is a good idea because it will give students a voice in the government, strengthen the relationship between students and the community, and will teach leadership skills that will start the path to creating future leaders.”

Crosswalk:

Continued From Page 1 Both parties believe the implementation of this crosswalk is in the best interest of the public and provides greater safety for the students and employees of Howell.

The crosswalk project is anticipated to cost the Township about $40,000, which will be reimbursed by the BOE. The project will consist of minor site clearing, uniformed traffic directors, concrete sidewalk, detectable warning surfaces, concrete vertical curb, pavement repair, top soiling, fertilizing and seeding, straw mulching, crosswalk signage, aluminum pole and base, concrete foundations, and solar powered flashing beacons.

While this resolution was passed at the June 12 meeting of the council, Director of Community Development Jim Herrman noted that planning has already begun.

“I am working with the County Engineer to work out the fi nal details. Construction would begin later this summer in anticipation that the crosswalk would be installed prior to the start of the 2018-2019 school year,” said Herrman.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Family Time And Family Entertainment My generation - granted it’s a while back - would sit together enjoying shows like M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, Dick Van Dyke, etc. I realize that life changes but is it really for the better? When one turns on the TV and sees so many killing shows, on a Saturday morning no less, when kids are looking for cartoons or wholesome shows - is it any wonder that teenagers are running around with weapons?

Family life is not what it used to be and I surely see that, but life in America is no way better than it used to be. A few younger people have said to me “this isn’t the 50s” – you’re darn right - that’s why we were called the greatest generation and

I was privileged to marry and raise my children during that time. We sat as a family every night at 6 and ate together. Sure, some of us had other things to do after dinner but that was that one meal of the day we ate together and I’m so glad now we did.

And so, as I reflect on the past and look around the world I have to wonder what are other countries/islands doing better than we are?

If I were raising children today, there would be no phones on the dinner table.

Families, just talk to each other before our current civilization is wiped out and I’m not kidding.

Freeholder Parts Ways With Republican Party After my commitment to the Republican Party, I find that the direction of t h e p a r t y i n M o n mouth Cou nt y is one I can no longer follow. I filed a petition to run for re-election as your Monmouth County Freeholder as an Independent. I didn’t leave the County Re pu bl ic a n Pa r t y, t h e County Republican Party left me.

To qualify for the November ballot, the law requires that I have 100 sig nat u res on my pe tition. I f iled my petitions with more than 450 s ig n a t u r e s . T h e Mo n mouth County Republican boss Shaun Golden wa s s o u p s e t w it h my decision to run as an Independent that he filed a formal challenge to my petition with the Monmouth Cou nt y Clerk.

T his Cou nt y Clerk, by the way, is also the Monmouth County Republican Vice Chair. Imagine that! Can you say conf lict of interest?

Now here is the funny par t: Republican Par t y boss Golden was so incompetent that he challenged less than 200 of t he 450 -plus sig nat u re on my petitions. So, even i f G old e n wo n a l l h i s challenges, I would still have 250 valid signatures on my petition when only 100 are required by law.

In the end, the Clerk only dismissed 133 signatures so I easily qualified to be on the ballot in November as an Independent.

I than k each and ever y person who sig ned up to support me and I look forward to meeting many more residents of Monmouth County as I campaign to be the first Independent elected to t he Mon mout h Cou nt y Board Of Chosen Free-

MacArthur Fights Drug Crisis As the mother of a recent high school graduate, I am constantly trying to keep up with the changing trends of teenagers.

Whether it is the newest social media app, YouTube video, or slang term that has become a regular part of my child’s vocabular y, each d ay br i ngs new i n for mat ion a s to how our children interact w it h t he world a rou nd them and how as parents, we can remain engaged and informed about how to keep our kids safe.

The opioid crisis provides ter r if ying statist ic s fo r o u r s t a t e a n d nation. I n New Jersey, 2,056 people died of an opioid overdose in 2016.

I n 2 018 , m o r e t h a n 2 million Americans will suf fer f rom opioid addiction. It is imperative that our elected officials work together with law enforcement to get these drugs off of our streets, and away from our kids.

Remembering The Good Old Days C a n a nyo n e r e m e m ber a t i me when you could leave your house u n locked 24 -7 a nd not worry? Ever get bumped by some one wh i le out du r ing the holidays and the person actually t u r ned arou nd to say “Excuse me.” Ca n you remember holding a door open for a stranger and them than k i ng you for it? Well, I can, and how times have changed.

I remember when everyone stood for the national anthem with hand over heart.

I remember when everyone you knew or spoke to was a patriot and respected our f lag.

I remember when Civics was taught in school so we could learn about our f lag, ou r C on st it ut ion and our rights. I remember people spoke the truth without being politically correct. Remember when immigrants had to register and get vaccinated at Ellis Island when entering our great land.

I remember when the people’s candidate won an election. They celebrated and those whose candidate lost dealt with it u nt i l n e x t ele c t io n .

Not resist, name call and point fingers.

Remember a congress that did what the people elected them to do? Take care of us and most importantly, protect us. Not

a nd money app oi nt i ng special cou ncils to t r y and remove a president t hey don’t ag ree w it h.

Deal with it, until next election and do your jobs.

I can remember when the safety and security of our nation was f irst priority for a president or polit icia n. We have p e ople i n ou r c ou nt r y today illegally that are career criminals or gang members. We have polit icia n s t o d ay lo ok i ng to protect a nd prov ide them sanctuar y. Isn’t it the responsibility of all politicians and non-polit icia n s we ele ct f rom either side of the aisle, to look out for the safety and well-being of the law abiding citizens of our nation?

I ask, how did this great country of ours get in the mess it’s in today?

Ha s ou r nat ion been sold out from beneath us by spineless past presidents?

Or was it on the backs of spineless past politicians?

I remember presidents that did what was best for our nation. They always thought of us first.

I remember when presidents showed strength, courage and stayed true to their word. I remember when they made us proud. They stood up for us agai nst other cou nt r ies and ou r enem ies.

They didn’t draw artificial lines in the sand and then turn their back and walk away.

I remember the presid e nt s a n d p ol it ic i a n s who had spines; they are the ones who made our nation great.

I remember the presidents and politicians who we re spi ne -le ss, t hose just took away from our nation’s greatness.

Does anyone else remember?

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

Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone Happy summer! I hope everyone has been enjoying the warmer weather and all the county has to offer!

There are so many events and activities throughout the county that there is sure to be something for everyone.

With that being said, I am happy to announce the launch of our new and improved tourism website, which can be viewed by visiting tourism.visitmonmouth.com. As the liaison to the Monmouth County Department of Public Information and Tourism, I am truly pleased with this new website and how much information is available.

From indoor attractions to outdoor activities, this new

website should keep everyone busy all summer long.

Please check it out!

In keeping with the topic of making summer plans, don’t forget to check out our Grown in Monmouth website, which can be viewed by visiting growninmonmouth. com. Not only can visitors search for restaurants that use products grown in Monmouth County, they can also find pick-your-own destinations and farmers markets, among other events.

Should one’s summer plans bring them to Monmouth Park, they will now be able to participate in sports betting. I was pleased to see sports betting become legal in New Jersey

From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th), who represents much of Monmouth County, applauded the recent ruling by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities rejecting the proposal of Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) to construct a high-voltage power line between Red Bank and Aberdeen.

“Today’s decision is a vindication for local residents who fought long and hard to oppose these power lines, especially Rachel Kanapka and her committed group Residents Against Giant Electric (RAGE),” said Smith, who visited many sites along the route of the proposed power lines, met with concerned residents and local officials, and testified on

the detrimental effects the power lines would have on the local communities.

“I applaud the Board of Public Utilities for making this decision, and I am pleased to have been able to work hard alongside all the members of RAGE.” After the giant power lines were proposed as part of the Monmouth County Reliability Project (MCRP), Smith met with residents who would have been directly affected by the proposed power line and personally visited homes, in July of 2016.

“When I walked through the neighborhoods of Holmdel and Middletown surveying the proposed power line route, I was convinced that the project would be devastating for the five communities in-

Websites Provide Links To Things To Do This Summer

just a few short weeks ago.

Allowing sports betting at venues such as Monmouth Park will help generate much-needed revenue for these businesses. I know legalizing sports betting will certainly help Monmouth Park and create more jobs.

While the state did the right thing in legalizing sports betting, I joined Sheriff Shaun Golden, Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian Burry, Freeholders Gerry Scharfenberger and Patrick Impreveduto, as well as many municipal leaders last week to call on the State to do the right when it comes to properly allocating funds from the 9-1-1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund.

Monmouth County residents having been paying into the trust fund since its

inception in 2005 through a 90 cent 9-1-1 system and emergency response fee imposed on monthly landline and cell phone bills. The fees, which are estimated to generate $134 million statewide in 2018, are allocated to a trust fund to upgrade state, county and local 9-1-1 systems. However, Monmouth County has not received any funding back from the State since 2010 and has only received $1.14 million for 9-1-1 services since the trust fund was established.

Receiving these fees would allow public safety telecommunicators to receive digital information in the form of emergency text messages, photos and videos. These funds are vital, as the Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Office Commu-

nications Center answer 9-1-1 calls for 50 agencies.

It is my hope state officials will appropriately allocate the funding this year.

On a separate note, I would like to congratulate all the law enforcement officers who were recognized for their efforts during the recent 200 Club luncheon.

For those who do not know about the 200 Club, it is an organization that provides financial assistance to the families of public safety and rescue personnel who have been killed in the line of duty. Additionally, the 200 Club also presents scholarships annually to graduating high school students. I am proud to be a trustee of this organization.

I would also like to congratulate all of our high school graduates. I had the honor

of attending several graduation ceremonies, including MAST, Communications High School and Biotechnology High School. It’s always nice to hear about their achievements before they even graduate. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

I would also like to congratulate the graduates from Firefighter I classes 119 and 120 from the Monmouth County Fire Academy. I had the opportunity to attend one of the graduation ceremonies earlier this month and it is always a nice time. I’d like to thank them for their service and commitment to keeping their communities safe.

As always, it is a privilege to serve as Freeholder Director for Monmouth County.

Power Line Denial Is A “Victory For Monmouth” volved at different points along the route, and by extension, the county,” Smith said.

With the poles ranging in height from 135 to 210 feet, the power lines would have run in close proximity to residential neighborhoods and schools from Red Bank to Aberdeen, along a 9.7-mile strip along the NJ Transit rail right-of-way.

Smith thanked members of RAGE along with other residents who successfully rallied against the proposed power lines.

“In addition to Rachel Kanapka, I thank Kin Gee, Lisa Walsh, Judy Musa and Terri Vilardi, as well as dozens of state and local elected officials and the hundreds of residents who have reached out to me, for their ceaseless advocacy and untiring passion for this cause,” Smith said.

“For two years, we

worked to ensure this just result - to guarantee that neighborhoods from Aberdeen to Red Bank would not be endangered by these monster power lines, and residents sickened by the potential harmful effects of low-voltage radiation emitted by this proposed high-voltage transmission line,” Smith stated.

Smith concluded that the unsightly power lines in clear view of homes would almost certainly hurt the property values of those homes and result in economic loss for many longtime local residents. And a potentially more serious problem lay in the longterm effects of the low-voltage radiation that would be emitted by the high-voltage transmission line, in close proximity to schools and residential backyards where children would be exposed to this radiation. Smith met with concerned neigh-

bors personally in 2016 and went into the field to examine the proposed route of the power lines.

Smith presented these concerns in his testimony before the New Jersey Transit Corporation Board of Directors on October 13, 2016, to convince the agency to reject JCP&L’s application to site monopoles on the NJT rightof-way. At that October meeting, New Jersey Transit officials promised to personally tour the route of the proposed power lines.

“Some may argue that there is little or no adverse health link to exposure to the electromagnetic fields created by these high-voltage lines, and may produce select studies that suggest that, but there is statistically relevant evidence - including studies - that suggest otherwise,” Smith said in his testimony.

In November 2016, Smith

visited more homes, a school, senior center, and church along the MCRP r o u t e , w i t h N J Tr a n s i t officials and other elected officials. In February of 2017, he submitted a statement to the NJ Senate Economic Growth Committee in opposition to the MCRP. “Out of an abundance of caution for the health, safety and welfare of Monmouth County families, reject JCP&L’s power line project,” Smith stated.

Smith also submitted remarks against the project to the Honorable Gail M. Cookson, NJ Office of Admin istrative Law, in May of 2017.

In March of 2018, Judge Cookson sided with the residents who opposed the plan. Smith applauded the decision as one “that took seriously and upheld the legitimate concerns of local residents.”

Four Charged With Sandy Fraud, Brings Total To 116

By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – Four more people have been charged with fraud relating to Super Storm Sandy, bringing the total number of defendants charged to 116, Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced.

“Any fraud against public assistance programs is deplorable, but these thefts were especially egregious because they diverted funds intended for victims left homeless by one of the most devastating storms in New Jersey history,” said Grewal in a press release. “We have recovered over $2.2 million through these prosecutions and we also have sent a strong message that should deter this type of fraud during future disaster relief efforts.”

Those 116 people allegedly diverted more than $7 million in relief funds. Numerous state and federal agencies have been investigating these fraudulent FEMA and other relief claims.

The state attorney general’s office alleges that Brian J. Kotowich, 57, of Beach Haven filed fraudulent applications after the hurricane. The State alleges he received approximately $187,881 in relief funds to which he was not entitled. He falsely filed claims for a home on West Connecticut Avenue in Beach Haven he said was a primary residence, though his primary residence was in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.

Kotowich is charged with second-degree theft by deception.

The state has also charged Anthony Novello, 63, of Forked River, with second degree theft by deception. He allegedly filed fraudulent applications after Sandy for FEMA assistance, a low-interest SBA disaster-relief loan, and state grants under the Homeowner Resettlement Program (RSP) and the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation (RREM) Program. He allegedly received a total of approximately $169,334 in relief funds to which he was not entitled. Again, his primary residence was not the town claimed, which is in Clark, New Jersey.

Also charged with theft by deception are Charles Licastro, 64, Pine Brook, New Jersey and Thomas Aquilino, 56, of Yonkers, New York. They allegedly fraudulently obtained a total of $150,000 by filing false applications following Superstorm Sandy for

state assistance under the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation (RREM) Program. It is alleged that Aquilino falsely claimed that a storm-damaged property he owns on Baltimore Avenue in Point Pleasant, was his primary residence at the time Sandy hit. It is alleged that, in reality, his primary residence at the time

of the storm was in Yonkers, N.Y., and the Point Pleasant house was a seasonal/ weekend property. Aquilino received a total of $150,000 in RREM grant payments to repair the Point Pleasant property. Aquilino is charged with second-degree theft by deception.

“In order to repair vacation or investment

properties, these defendants allegedly stole funds that were strictly intended for victims who needed to rebuild or restore their primary homes,” said Director Veronica Allende of the Division of Criminal Justice.

“While many generously helped others after the storm, these property owners allegedly helped themselves.”

FREEHOLD―CentraState Medical Center has received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get with the Guidelines - Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. The award recognizes the hospital’s commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence.

CentraState earned the award by meeting specific quality achievement measures for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients at a set level for a designated period.

These measures include evaluation of the proper use of medications and other stroke treatments aligned with the most up-todate, evidence-based guidelines with the goal of speeding recovery and reducing death and disability for stroke patients. Before discharge, patients should also receive education on managing their health, get a follow-up visit scheduled, as well as other care transition interventions.

“When a patient is experiencing stroke symptoms, every second counts when expediting all aspects of care and therapeutics to prevent or limit damage to brain tissue,” said Ellen Ciacciarelli, RN, APN, stroke coordinator, CentraState Healthcare System.

“We are proud of this recognition and will continue our commitment to providing care that has been shown in the scientific literature to quickly and efficiently save the lives and improve outcomes of stroke patients.”

CentraState also received the association’s Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll Elite award.

To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet quality measures developed to reduce the time between the patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA, the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat ischemic stroke.

According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. On average, someone in the U.S. suffers a stroke every 40 seconds and nearly 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.

CentraState Medical Center is an Advanced Primary Stroke Center with licensed certification from the Joint Commission and the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. CentraState is among an elite group of hospitals in New Jersey and across the country with a specially trained “Code Stroke” response team which includes an Emergency Department (ED) physician, neurologist, ED registered nurse, and a stroke coordinator, all of whom have special training in caring for stroke patients.

The team is available around the clock to assess patients immediately upon their arrival at CentraState’s Emergency Department and initiate appropriate treatment, which may include the administration of a “clot busting” medication.

For more information about CentraState’s Stroke Center, call 866-CENTRA7 (866236-8727) or visit centrastate.com/stroke.

Master Gardeners Award $1,300 In Scholarships

FREEHOLD, – The Master Gardeners of Monmouth County awarded their Howard Bodner Memorial Scholarship of $1,300 to three Monmouth County residents: Grace Kearney of Oceanport, Jennifer Giovanniello of Morganville and Julia Piancone of Asbury Park. The awards were presented

by Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry at the Master Gardeners meeting on June 20.

The Howard Bodner Memorial Scholarship is open to all Monmouth County graduating seniors and college students who are accepted to a college or university and planning to major in horticulture, environmental sciences, engineering, botany or related fields. Awardees are selected based on their interest in horticulture that is demonstrated through course work, extra-curricular activities, community service and employment, as well as recommendations and grades.

“I am honored to present our Master Gardener Association scholarship to these three students, whose dedication, passion and leadership make them so deserving,” Deputy Director Burry said. “The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Master Gardeners wish them all the best as they continue their environmental studies and work to make their surroundings a more beautiful place.”

Grace Kearney is a graduating senior from Trinity Hall in Tinton Falls, and will be pur-

suing a major within the School of Natural Math and Sciences at Stockton University in Galloway, N.J. in the fall of 2018.

Jennifer Giovanniello is double-majoring in environmental studies and English at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. Julia Piancone is a secondary agricultural education major at Delaware Valley University in Doylestown, Pa. The scholarship was named in memory of Master Gardener Howard Bodner, who passed away in 2016. Bodner was a Lincroft resident who graduated from the Master Gardener program in 2006. He worked passionately to expand the scholarship program, which was established in 2004.

Members of the 2018 Master Gardeners scholarship committee are Co-Chairs Gordon Boak of Colts Neck and Carolyn Giovanniello of Morganville; Fran Ambio, Millstone; Evelin Gaffney, Rumson; Marvin Koren, Howell; Isabelle Koren, Howell; Sue Malmi, Red Bank; Roy Helfrick, Asbury Park; Janet Dill, Shrewsbury; Heather McGrath, Holmdel; and Patti Schleig; Farmingdale.

Local Family Donates Lockout Kits To Howell Police

–Photo courtesy Howell Police Pictured (L to R) Sgt. Lopez, Ptlw. Regina, Ptlm. Gashlin, Joe, Marilyn, Jackie Skillender, Ptlm. Jackson, Lt. Markulic, Chief Kudrick HOWELL – The Skillender Family recently visited Howell Police Headquarters. The Skillenders have been in business here in Howell since 1995. They were originally located at the E. Aldrich/9 Gulf Station but are currently at 1422 Rt. 9 South.

They have been longtime supporters of this police department.

This year, in memory of Terry Skillender who passed ten years ago, his wife Marilyn Skillender, daughter Jackie Skillender and brother Joe Skillender made a donation to the police department.

Terry’s passion was in reducing children being locked vehicles. After several high

profile cases including the death of a child, he outfitted Howell PD with lockout kits. On this anniversary, the family wanted to continue what Terry started by donating ten additional lock out kits and emergency rescue tools.

These kits allow for officers to make quick entry into vehicles without causing the damage traditional associated with making an emergency entry. It also reduces potential injury to occupants from glass fragments. The PD does not do lockouts for unoccupied vehicles.

We thank the Skillenders for their continued support and recognize and remember Terry Skillender.

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

Handling Menopause And Andropause As A Couple

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

As we age, we notice symptoms creeping up every few months. With women, it’s called menopause and includes many symptoms such as fatigue, forgetfulness, hot flashes, vaginal discomfort or atrophy, decreased libido, irritability and insomnia.

Menopause can be surgically induced, as occurs when you get a total hysterectomy.

With men, it’s termed andropause and the symptoms include reduced fatigue, sex drive, weak erections, depression, loss of strength and muscle mass, weight gain as well as occasional night sweats akin to a woman’s hot flash. You might find that you’re less competitive than normal.

In the news recently, there have been some interesting findings reported from brand new studies. The first that comes to mind is about post-menopausal women and how they have an elevated risk for heart failure or coronary heart disease, if they have have higher testosterone levels compared to estradiol (an estrogen hormone).

What about your brain and mood? For sure, psychological symptoms are one of the first (and worst) things noticed by men and women during menopause and andropause. You might think you’re going crazy, and so might those around you. It differs for everyone, and new research suggests that if you’ve been struggling with mental health issues prior to menopause/andropause, they are bound to get worse. In particular, symptoms such as panic attacks and suicidal ideation seem to heighten, and it’s much harder to deal with

than typical annoyances such as depression, irritability, mood swings, insomnia and memory loss.

The CDC found that the rate of women committing suicide has been on the rise since the year 2000, it’s up by 50 percent and the average age is between 45 and 64. I have to wonder how many of these people were brought to the brink from the use of mind-bending anxiolytics or antidepressants that are thought to impair otherwise good judgement and possibly raise risk of suicide. It brings to mind fashionista Kate Spade and TV chef Anthony Bourdain, both of whom were taking anti-anxiety medications. They impact your brain and sometimes in a good way, but also in a bad way due to unexpected side effects.

Today, I’d like to offer a few tips that could help you, as a couple, age more comfortably together, and minimize the problems that drive people to doctors, or worse, to psychiatrists who numb you with addictive medications. Here are eight ideas to get your hormones balanced: 1. Manage stressful situations 2. Avoid estrogenic chemicals 3. Maintain a healthy sex life 4. Watch what you eat 5. Exercise 6. Actually, sleep at night 7. Get enough rest 8. Aswhagandha If you’d like to read the extended, more comprehensive version of my article, please sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

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

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved 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.

BUSINESS PROFILE The MAX Challenge Of Howell Cares About Your Success

By Michael Vandenberg We’ve all been to an average gym before. You get scanned in, and then you’re on your own. If you want some guidance from a professional, there’s usually an astronomical fee for personal training.

Tr ying to eat better is not easy to figure out by yourself either. Fad diets rarely work for the long term. If you really want a true lifestyle change that will get you in shape and keep you there, you’ll need the only program that will give you the motivation you need to change your fitness habits and eat nutritious foods: The MAX Challenge.

T he M A X Chall eng e of Howell was formerly a karate studio before it converted into one of the first free-standing MAX centers six years ago.

In April 2017, Laura Gashlin took over as the site’s owner.

But that was by no means Laura’s first experience with The MA X. She completed her first challenge with MAX about two years ago at another location, originally for her own health. Like most MAX owners, they’re typically in a completely different career field when the find and fall in love with the program. “I actually have a Bachelor’s in Architecture,” Laura pointed out. “I worked in a few different architecture firms and wasn’t exactly loving it.” And yet when she left work and went to MAX, she was having a great time. Eventually she realized, “Well, I’m not really loving the architecture thing, but I’m loving the f itness thing.” She got into instructing and working the front desk for a while and, wanting to take her skills to the next level, decided to buy her own location.

To day, T h e M A X Chal lenge of Howell is helping its community lead a healthier lifestyle and feel great. How does it work? MAX combines three core aspects (fitness, nutrition, and motivation) to create the lifestyle change you deserve.

Fitness means you’ll be exercising in ways that help you burn fat and gain strength.

Your instr uc tor will make sure you’re challenged and

will give you modifications as necessary to make sure you can progress. Once you finish your first 10 week challenge, you become a legacy member. As the challenges continue throughout the year, you’ll start doing the exercises at a higher level. The same class runs all day with start times from 5am to 8pm so you never have to miss out, regardless of your schedule.

No two days will be exactly the same throughout your ten weeks. But don’t worry; MAX is designed to work for everyone: “I’ve had people that have just come out of surgery and I have members that are in their seventies. Everything’s at your own level.

You just start from wherever you’re at, even if you’ve never exercised before in your entire life, and just build from there.” Oftentimes, new people partner up with a longtime member. This ends up being mutually beneficial because they can help the new person with technique, while the new person can bring a new burst of excitement to the table.

Another exciting thing is the nutrition portion of the MAX. They’ll sit down with you and go over nutrition one-on-one as needed and even give you food shopping lists. Luckily it’s all stuff that you’re familiar with and you can find at a regular food

store. Laura doesn’t call it a diet, because this isn’t one of those fad diets that make you starve yourself to lose all the weight, only to gain it all back in the end. The MAX nutrition program is a true long-term, yet easy lifestyle change.

Have grilled chicken instead of fried chicken. Use extra virgin olive oil instead of corn oil. You’re not shutting off those unhealthy foods forever either: one meal per week is your designated treat meal when you can eat anything you want.

Of course, “if you’re not feeling motivated, you’re not going to do any of the other parts of the program”. This third and, perhaps, most important tier of MAX ensures that you receive the guidance you need ever y step of the way. Each challenge starts with a m ot ivat i o nal kick-off event where you get a chance t o m e e t ev er ybody and take your “before” picture.

Eve r yo n e’s enc ouraging each other during the class, and instructors give

a motivational talk at the end of ever y day. If you don’t s h ow u p f o r a few d ay s , they’ll even call you to make sure everything’s okay and keep you from getting discouraged. At the completion of every 10-week challenge, your “after” picture is taken and ever yone in the class votes on who made the biggest transformation.

The funny thing is that although the winners receive generous pr izes, they al ways feel like the mind and body transformation they’ve gone through was worth so much more. That’s the MAX difference: a program that cares about your success and wants to help you reach your goals. For one member in particular, Laura explained,

MAX changed her life. She’s currently in the middle of her second challenge but when she first started, she was shy and self-conscious. She not only lost weight in that first challenge, but she gained so much confidence in, “the way she holds herself and talks, and smiles so much more”.

Her marriage is better, she got a promotion, and she even inspired her daughter to start eating healthy.

Come see what The MAX Challenge of Howell can do for your life. They’re located at 510 New Friendship Road in Howell or online at thema xchallenge.c om. Email laurag@themaxchallenge. com or, if you call 732-5349850 and mention this article, you’ll receive $100 off!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 30 - JUly 6

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You may yearn for someone’s kindhearted ministrations as you endure frustrations in the week ahead. Menial tasks and repetitive chores may prevent you from enjoying fun with your friends and loved ones.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A lack of restraint when it comes to spending money or making promises can place you in the doghouse. In the week ahead, you may find that people are more critical and exacting, so it is necessary to be discreet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might not be able to trust everything you hear in the week ahead. Your partner may sugarcoat a problem or co-workers could promise more than they can deliver. It may be up to you to offer up some tough love.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be torn two ways as this week unfolds. One part of you wants to spoil the kids or lavish money on hobbies, but your other side wants to save up money for a rainy day. It is better to be safe than sorry.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes being selfish and self-centered about how you delegate your time is in your best interest. In the week ahead people may consider you a killjoy because you are focused on achievement rather than merriment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be great at business decisions, but personal extravagances can cancel out your gains. As this week unfolds you will find it is better for your bottom line to focus on making money rather than spending money.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sugar and spice and everything nice just won’t cut the mustard. Your casual assurances may be held up to scrutiny in the week ahead. You may go overboard with spending or be attracted to something ostentatious.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put your latest greatest plans on hold. You may have the best intentions and the shrewdest ideas but whatever you begin in the upcoming week might run into unexpected obstacles. Avoid making casual promises.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your naturally generous nature may be limited to spending time rather than money on others.

You may be happy to socialize and offer referrals but24 being thrifty with money may be a prime consideration this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Adversity doesn’t just test character, it reveals it. In the week ahead, you will need all the grit and determination you can muster to deal with a busy schedule. Use your street smarts to navigate tricky situations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Loved ones could make demands and expect you to obey commands. In the week ahead, you might find that someone’s heavy work load requires you to offer unquestioning support.

Your loyalty will be rewarded.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Work hard to reach your goals in the upcoming week.

Don’t be discouraged by minor setbacks.

Frivolous pastimes may lighten up the office environment, but the boss may express disapproval if time is wasted.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Breeze: This Recipe Is As Easy And Flexible As A Summer Day

By Wolfgang Puck TANDOORI-STYLE CHICKEN KEBABS WITH FRESH MANGO-GINGER CHUTNEY Serves 4 For the mango-ginger chutney: 3/4 teaspoon peanut oil 1/2 medium red onion, diced 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 jalapeno chile, fi nely chopped 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 strip lemon zest, 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide by 3 inches (7.5 cm) long 3/4 teaspoon dark brown sugar 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice Grated zest of 1/2 orange Juice of 1/2 orange For the chicken kebabs: 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) boneless skinless chicken pieces, white or dark meat or a combination 3/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds 3/4 teaspoon whole coriander seeds 1 cup (250 mL) nonfat plain yogurt 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon fi nely chopped scallion 1 1/2 teaspoons fi nely chopped fresh ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons fi nely chopped garlic 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 cup (60 mL) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves For the mango-ginger chutney, heat the peanut oil in a medium

saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion, and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, jalapeno, ginger, lemon zest and brown sugar. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has melted completely and begins to turn syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Carefully stir in the vinegar; cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the mango, orange zest and juice; cook, stirring frequently, until thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chutney to a stainless-steel or glass bowl, and leave it at room temperature until cooled.

Transfer the cooled chutney to a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, and pulse until coarsely pureed. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

For the chicken kebabs, place 8 bamboo or wooden skewers in a shallow dish; add cold water to cover, and leave to soak for about 1 hour; then drain well. (Alternatively, use metal skewers, skipping the soaking.)

Cut the chicken into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks, and thread them on the skewers. Arrange the skewers in a shallow, nonreactive dish.

In a small dry skillet, toast the cumin and coriander seeds over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, just until fragrant and slightly darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a heatproof dish to cool.

Put the cooled toasted seeds in a blender with the yogurt, honey, scallion, ginger, garlic, black pepper, salt and red pepper flakes.

Blend thoroughly. Add the cilantro leaves, and process until pureed and thoroughly blended. Pour this marinade over the skewers, turning them to coat the chicken evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate no longer than 2 hours.

To cook the kebabs, preheat a grill. Remove the kebabs from the marinade, shaking off excess; discard the marinade. Season the kebabs to taste with salt. Grill until the chicken is golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total.

Serve the kebabs on a platter or individual plates, passing the chutney alongside at the table. Reserve any extra chutney for another use.
