Howell High Students Can Achieve “International Baccalaureate”

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell High School is now one of 17 schools in the state to become an IB World School, according to officials.

As an IB World School, Howell High School can now offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP), which is a two-year program for juniors and seniors.

Freehold Regional High School District recently announced that Howell High School is the second school in the district to receive its final authorization, alongside Freehold Township High School.

“The IB DP provides students with an academi-

cally challenging and interdisciplinary course of studies, and also prepares students for a rapidly evolving, increasingly global, society. In addition to courses from six core subject groups, IB Diploma students also engage in the DP core, which prompts students to “reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research, and undertake a project that often involves community service” (IBO),” stated the district.

Students in the Class of 2021 will be the first IB students at Howell.

For more information on the program, visit sites.google.com/frhsd.com/hhs-internationalbaccalaureate.

Continued From Page 1 were designated as Camden, Morris, Ocean, Sussex, and Warren Counties.

The new bill, A1100, makes Monmouth and Atlantic counties the sixth and seventh counties in the program.

“While many towns and cities across the state have taken steps to cut costs through shared services, the Legislature provided additional tools under a pilot program enacted several years ago that included five counties,” said Senator Gopal (D-Monmouth). “Making Monmouth and Atlantic counties part of this program will ease the process for towns and cities that want to share services where it makes sense and reduce taxpayer costs, making the counties more affordable for residents.”

The addition of Monmouth County to the program will allow various Monmouth County towns, including Howell, to benefit from it. According to Howell Deputy Mayor Robert Nicastro, “The administration is always exploring new shared service opportunities.”

Nicastro stated his support for the new legislation, but added that no moves have been made just yet to act on it in Howell.

Howell has already entered into shared service agreements with other neighboring towns, including Colts Neck and Freehold, and is working on others.

According to Nicastro, “we entered into shared services with Colts Neck for mechanical services and exploring recycling shared service…[and] we currently have a shared services with Freehold Township sewer services and have some shared service agreements with the borough of Farmingdale.”

Howell is also in talks with Jackson Township to negotiate a shared service agreement with their Municipal Utilities Authority for a purchasing agent.

“Shared services and outsourcing in my belief are going to play an integral role for municipalities in controlling budgets and property taxes,” he added.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Good Samaritans Exist – Right Here In Lakehurst The other day I had a fall outside the Lakehurst post office. Going to my car, I inadver tently t ripped on a small stone wh ile stepping off the curb.

Falling is a scary thing for anyone but especially for an 84-yearold woman who always needs help to get up.

For a moment, as I lay sprawled on the street, I just prayed I would not be run over by an inattentive driver!

Then I realized that there were several people su r rou nd i ng me and asking me if I had “any pain,” “could I move,” “d id I ne e d any help to stand?” I even heard someone say they had already called 911!

I was star tled.

Pleased, but surprised!

W here had all these p e o ple c o m e f r o m?

One man apologized after a minute or two because he had to go t o a n a p p oi nt m e nt , but spoke with others a rou nd me t o m a ke sure that I would not be left alone. A clerk from the post off ice a l so r e m a i ne d w it h t he g r ou p. A not he r

gentleman went to his car to get a roll of paper towels so that I would not have my head on the cold ground. Everyone wanted to help me stand. I could not allow anyone to help me up because I have a shoulder replacement and I need to have a special tech n ique to stand with assistance.

About four minutes after my fall a police off icer, Jason Guide, arrived. I explained the problem with getting erect. He maneuvered people to various positions, then bent down beh i nd me, and i n a twinkling of an eye, the kind “strangers” and the officer had me back up on my feet. I kept apologizing for all the trouble, but everyone told me they were glad to help.

I just want to thank all those persons who ma de a n emba r r a ssing event a very happy and appreciative moment for me to be truly thankful.

With sincere thanks and appreciation…

The opinions expressed in the Letters To The Editor section do not necessarily re�lect those of the staff, management or sponsors of Micromedia Publications/ Jersey Shore Online. Letters to the Editor are the OPINION of the writer and the content is not checked for accuracy.

Article On Use Of Force Doesn’t Tell Whole Story A story from NJ Advance Media (nj.com) on law enforcement use of force will look to develop controversy and discontent by providing data with little context about the use of force officers are required to use. Police officers face an unparalleled challenge of saving lives, restoring peace, and bringing criminals to justice. The situations they face are dynamic and involve split second decisions. They are not done within the safety and security of a newsroom.

The actions they take can mean life or death. In 2016 alone over 1,800 New Jersey Police Offi cers were a s s au lt e d wh i le doi ng the job of protecting the communities they serve.

The number of assaults on offi cers increased 8 percent and contempt for law enforcement is a growing trend nationwide. Often thanks to irresponsible and half-written articles like the one released.

Yes, law enforcement is permitted to use force, and newspapers buy ink in barrels. No revelations there.

Unfortunately print media has all but disappeared and has been replaced with online news. When you can’t count newspapers anymore to tout your commercial success you have to generate “clicks” to sell advertising at top dollar.

Regretfully, that has led to the demise of legitimate journalism in this country.

I knew where this “investigative report” was going the moment I saw the teaser headings and salacious preview video. It worked a few months ago for another NJ news organization so why not give it a crack here at nj.com. They have provided you with a clickable database for watercooler banter, nothing more. Like TMZ, Inside Edition and the like they are giving

Letters To The Editor you a suggestive bit of likely the officer that con- Obama’s presidential tensensational data to keep an unsuspecting public engaged. Regretfully and unfortunately they have only told half the story.

True journalists at least attempt to tell an entire story.

WHY was force used?

Was it justified? Did the officer prevent a violent rape or violent assault?

Did they tackle a fleeing robbery suspect? Was the suspect resisting arrest?

You will never know. You see, NJ.com only used the single page Use of Force repor ts. The Investigation report, supplemental reports and witness statements would tell the whole stor y but nj.com didn’t work on get t i ng t hem.

That would require significantly more work and journalistic ability instead of having interns entering data into a spreadsheet for the last several months.

Time is money when you need to generate clicks to sell advertising. Regrettably, “clicks” are today’s benchmark for journalistic success.

Unreasonable or criminal uses of force are discovered more quickly today than ever before thanks to body cams, dash cams and the omnipresent cell phone. I say “thanks to” because I don’t want those officers in our ranks as much as the public doesn’t. They don’t belong in our profession. But use of force isn’t pretty and what may look like unreasonable force to the untrained eye is an acceptable use of force under the law. That decision will be determined by a prosecutor, judge and jury, not the amount of clicks it received online or irresponsible comments under a suggestive and misleading headline to make you click.

Articles like this only makes a difficult job today incredibly more difficult.

The officer that is “number one” today in your community on the database is

sistently leads the agency in arrests. Good arrests.

He is the officer that is proactively patrolling and attempting to put a dent in crime in your community. And congratulations nj.com, now that officer will be doing everything he can to stay off your “half story” spreadsheet next year and the year after that.

Improvements to our profession will continue with the support and assistance of the communities and citizens we serve, not with click bait entertainment.

Trump Is Mean To Everyone And Deserves Scorn In response to letter entitled “No Reason To Be Mean About Tr ump” in The Brick Times of December 1st, I feel morally obliged to offer a contrary view. I do not challenge the sincerity of the writer.

I simply cannot grasp her reasoning, par ticularly because her hero acts like the playground bully always picking fights. But, if somebody hits him back, he runs off to the school principal to complain.

This political era - or is it error? - might be described as four blind men trying to identif y an elephant with each man touching a different part of the ani mal. O ne t ouche s t he trunk and concludes it’s a snake hanging in a tree.

Another touches a foreleg and “sees” a tree. The third reaches high and grasps an ear, deciding it’s a flamingo. Who knows what the fourth man thought when he touched the tail? But let’s keep prurience out of this conversation!

For the eight years of

u re, I w rote ma ny letters to various newspaper editors, some seeing the light of day by get ting published. I suppor ted Obama, not only as our president, but also as a noble man committed to making this nation into a more perfect union. [Kindly refer to the Preamble of the Constitution.] My letters often appealed to the general public to give him a chance; to support his initiatives for the good of the economy and for the betterment of the people; even to pray for him.

Donald Trump actually rode on the back of Birtherism and bigotry to win the hearts and minds of many millions of Christian citizens. Throughout his campaign and through his two years as president, a day does not pass without some outrageous incitement to hatred, exclusion and/or violence against strangers and dissenters of his worldview. The relentless attacks against our First Amendment f lood Tweetland. The same has been t r ue whenever he speaks in person. His worldview is one of unadulterated greed, a greed without conscience, lack i ng i n self-ref lection, insatiable and with not a morsel of morality. Donald Trump is the pure narcissist and his brand of greed is endangering all of us.

Yes, in those past letters of mine, I too urged my fellow citizens to pray for Obama. Did the writer of “No Reason To Be Mean About Trump?” Or did she, as so many Americans, decide that blind belligerence and autocratic rule are what America needed?

Sadly, that is what we got!

She says: May God bless America. I say: May God bless all of humanity! Isn’t God supposed to be Father (and Mother) of all human beings?

MONMOUTH COUNTY – The holiday season is here and Sheriff Shaun Golden wants to make it a safe one throughout Monmouth County. There will be an increase of travelers as people celebrate with holiday parties. As a result, law enforcement will remain vigilant to keep roadways safe and free from drunk drivers.

“We want ever yone to enjoy th is wonderful holiday season, but if you are going to drink, don’t drive, it’s as simple as that,” said Sheriff Golden.

“Law enforcement will be out in full force and on the lookout for d r u n k drivers.”

In New Jersey, an individual is considered over the legal limit if he/she operates a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level concentration of .08 or greater. According to the New Jersey Division of Highway Traff ic Safet y from 2012-2016 there were approximately 37,964 alcohol related crashes that resulted in 718 fatalities in the state.

In an effort to avoid presenting a danger to oneself or others it’s important to follow these safety tips: • B efo r e goi n g o u t , d e s ig n a t e a driver who will not consume any alcohol the entire night.

• DO NOT DRIVE if you are impaired. Call an uber, a cab, a sober friend or family member.

• If you don’t have a ride, stay where

you are.

If you see someone about to get behind the wheel or on a motorcycle after they have been drinking, take their keys and find them a ride with someone who is sober.

• Under no ci rcu mst ances should adults provide alcohol to a minor or allow anyone under 21 to consume alcohol while at their home.

There is also a tremendous increase of shoppers this season and it’s important to not be careless or look vulnerable wh i le sho p pi ng. T he b e s t way for shoppers to stay safe and not become a victim of theft, is by using a common sense and cautious approach.

• Park your car in well-lit areas of shopping center parking lots.

• Be aware of your surroundings.

• Limit the number of trips back to your car.

• Don’t leave packages exposed in your car. Lock them in your trunk.

• Have keys ready before you get in your car.

• Don’t shop alone especially at night.

• Look in your car before entering – do not enter if something does not seem right.

• ELFS-Enter the car, Lock the doors, Fasten Seat Belt, Scram “By applying these important initiatives, we can all help ensure a safe, secure and happy holiday season in Monmouth County,” said Sheriff Golden.

COMMUNITY NEWS Monmouth County Develops Series of Cultural & Heritage Virtual Tours

FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Division of Planning has announced the launch of its Cultural and Heritage Virtual Tour series. The series provides eight virtual tours of interconnected historic, natural, cultural, and arts attractions throughout Monmouth County, modeled after state and federal scenic byway programs as recommended in the 2016 Monmouth County Master Plan. The online format allows for flexibility in route selection, allowing visitors to explore a variety of points of interest along each route.

The Cultural & Heritage Virtual Tours program was designed to increase public awareness about the many natural, cultural, historic, scenic, architectural, institutional, and commemorative sites located in Monmouth County. Each tour has a unique theme which showcases numerous attractions throughout Monmouth County in categories including: scenic, historic, architectural, art, cultural, science and technology, military, civic spaces, neighborhoods, crossroad/downtowns/commercial districts, pop, culture, myth/folklore/ legends, unique or unusual and more. Some sites are privately held and not open to the public. The complete series results in a network of tours featuring all 53 towns in Monmouth County.

Freeholder Deputy Director and Liaison to the Division of Planning said, “We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Monmouth County Cultural & Heritage Virtual Tours. In addition to connecting our communities, the program showcases our Grown in Monmouth economic development initiatives by featuring partners in the program, while supporting local and regional tourism.”

Eight tours are available by visiting the Monmouth County Division of Planning Webpage or link directly to the site through http://bit.ly/ monmouthmap. They include: • South Monmouth Emerald Byway: Travel through parks and open space along the

Manasquan Greenway across southern Monmouth County.

• Monmouth County Crossroads Byway: Take a journey through American history along our historic crossroads following Revolutionary War troop movement from Millstone to Sandy Hook via Monmouth Battlefield.

• MoCo Cultural Byway: Discover the best cultural happenings and places to be down the Jersey Shore between Matawan and Manasquan.

• Bayshore Drive: Unexpected natural beauty and fascinating stories abound in the waterfront towns of the Raritan Bayshore.

• Country to Coast Byway: Travel through time from villages and horse farms to boats and beaches.

• Ocean Drive: Meander along our famous Jersey Shore towns, beaches and boardwalks.

• Two River Tri-Way: Enjoy the peninsula’s picturesque charm and community-based culture that defines the Two River region.

• Upper Freehold Historic Farmland Byway: The lush rolling hills and farmland of Upper Freehold set alongside colonial Allentown provide the backdrop for this loop tour through the rural reaches of western Monmouth County.

Global Studies Students Attend Seminars at Princeton University

FREEHOLD – Students in the Global Studies Magnet Program at Freehold Township High School attended seminars at Princeton University on November 30. The juniors and seniors in attendance engaged in round table discussions and lectures on United States foreign policy in the Middle East. The high school has formed a partnership with the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University, which allows upperclassmen to attend events there during the school year.

The Global Studies Magnet Program is an intensive study of world regions, international challenges, cultures, governments,

and economies. The rapid pace of globalization means that future graduates will need a more expansive study of the world, and what roles the United States plays in it. Students with an interest in history, international development, diplomacy, and world order will be challenged with an accelerated and unique curriculum within the comprehensive high school, studying human geography, international relations, comparative government and politics, and international law. The goal of the program is to develop a sense of responsibility to the world community and an understanding of what it means to be an active global citizen.

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

Breathe Easier And Control Pain With Frankincense

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Frankincense is popular around Christmastime and the resin and oil have been used for ages.

Frankincense resin is extracted out of trees that belong to the genus Boswellia, and that is why you see “Boswellia” on the ingredient list of dietary supplements, essential oils and other commercial products. Like curcumin, the boswellia-derived formulas are extraordinarily popular today, especially to treat joint pain, cancer, asthma and infections.

This sticky sap that’s extracted from the tree dries out and is found in supplements galore. It offers more benefits than first meets the eye. There are many species of boswellia by the way, the most common one in the states is Boswellia serrata.

Clinical trials show that “boswellic acids” from boswellia have anti-inflammatory properties so powerful that they rival non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). A crucial difference is that the medications have the ability to produce uncomfortable side effects like gastric ulceration and heartburn, but boswellia does not. Here are 4 compelling reasons to consider adding frankincense to your health regimen in some way, shape or form. It’s kind of amazing: 1. It Reduces Pain: Because it acts as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, it is a powerful painkiller for many physical conditions.

There are many scientific papers supporting the use of boswellia for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as knee pain, back pain and more.

2. It Eases Asthma Symptoms: Boswellia extract is excellent at reducing leukotrienes,

a class of compounds in your body that trigger annoying allergies and terrifying bronchospasm. It mitigates asthma symptoms by keeping your airways open and reducing your immune reaction to environmental allergens.

3. It Relieves Gastrointestinal Discomfort: For those with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s, numerous studies are clear and profound!

Boswellia absolutely provides soothing relief and reduces flare-ups, pain and possibly even progression of GI conditions. Remember, it’s a very strong natural anti-inflammatory and it pacifies your immune system.

4. Restricts the Growth of Cancer Cells: The natural boswellic acids from frankincense make it practical for slowing down the growth of cancer cells that invade the brain, breast, pancreas and blood (as in leukemia). Furthermore, acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) found in boswellia, has been shown to slow down the progression of multiple myeloma.

Now that you understand the health benefits of this versatile plant, how can you integrate it into your life? It’s pretty easy, you can do what I do. I have the essential oil (Boswellia frereana) and I just put it into my diffuser during the day or sometimes just inhale it from my hands. You can put it in your bath, and some high-quality essential oils can be taken internally (depending on the brand).

You can also take boswellia as a dietary supplement at any health food stores. It’s found all by itself in stand-alone products, as well as in multi-tasking formulas that relieve joint pain. And finally, you can burn frankincense resin as incense, like wise men and women have done for ages during important ceremonies and celebrations.

Robert C. Shea Esq. Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family.

Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries.

The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/ they are injured.

The Standard Policy does provide medical Michael J. Deem expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Bartley

Healthcare Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents

By Joyce Blay There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living.

Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents.

One of them may be Emilia Harrison, who turned 93 years old on December 4, 2015, and has been a Bartley resident for over five years.

“I don’t know where the time went,” she tells a visitor.

Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine outdoors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose.

“You do what you want to do,” she says.

For thirty years, Bartley

Healthcare has provided that flexibility to seniors requiring a wide range of facility services, thanks to Chief Executive Officer Philip Scalo and his physician partners.

“My partners had a very big practice in Jackson,” Scalo says. “We thought we could open a facility and do a very good job meeting residents’ needs.”

With his financial and legal expertise, Scalo and his physician partners make a good team.

Others think so, too.

The Orchards at Bartley has rec eived nu merous awards for excellence from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services in partnership with the Healthcare Asso ciation of New Jersey (HCANJ); the American Healthcare Association/ National Center for Assisted Living; and the Assisted Living Federation of America.

“What we’ve always

tried to do is be leaders in our field,” Scalo says.

For the past three decades, that has been the hallmark of the Bartley experience for residents and the staff that ser ve their healthcare

needs.

Bar tley Healthc are opened as a 120 -bed skilled nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground.

Scalo says the facility’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties.

Bar tley Healthc are began expanding its’ range of services and facilities by opening a memory care unit and a post-acute rehabilitation unit where patients typically stay less than 30 days, then return to their homes.

Today, Bartley Healthcare is a 234-bed facility offering a full range of skilled nursing services for orthopedic conditions and post-surgical joint replacements; cardiac and post-cardiac surgery recovery programs; enteral feeding; IV therapy, multiple trauma; pain management; respiratory; stroke; tracheostomy; and wound care.

The campus facilities also offer inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation; assisted living; memory care programs; respite/ hospice; and at-home services.

“We started with a basic concept, understanding and meeting the individual needs of both resident and patient,”Scalo says.

“Each step of our development has been based on the need for services. (For example,) in the late 1990s, we saw the need for memor y care programs.”

Scalo says that he and his partners have plans to add respirator y ser vices and a sub-acute program for Alzheimer’s patients.

Even after a resident leaves Bartley Healthcare, the facility ensures their continued rehabilitation by providing a follow-up program.

Residents that live at The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living will feel right at home right away.

N e st l e d i n a qui et c ount r y set t ing, T he Orchards promotes a neighborhood environment. Located within the community, “Main Street” is a hub of activity that features a theater, exercise center, library with c omputer s, hair salon and barber shop, game room and other

gathering areas.

Family recreational oppor tunities abound at t h e n e i ghb o r h o o d movie theater, greenhouse and playground

Residents can share their Bartley adventure with other residents or pursue independent pastimes, indoors or outdoors. The choice is theirs.

Scalo says that Bartley’s core values are attitude, trust, teamwork, integrit y, re spect and excellence, which he emphasizes on a green bracelet with the acronym “A.T.T.I.R.E.” “The key thing we stress is that we’re a home providing the care levels needed at a certain phase in (an individual’s) life,” Scalo says. “It’s home for (on-site) staff, not What we’ve always just residents. We are tried to do is be leaders very experienced in this community and in our field. (we) give back to our –Chief Executive community.”

Holiday Shopping Tips And Reminders

FREEHOLD – The holidays are fast-approaching. Whether you like to dash through the mall or search for online deals, the Monmouth County Division of Consumer Affairs and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have a present for you – shopping tips to help budget and protect your personal information.

“The Division of Consumer Affairs protects against consumer frauds and dishonest, deceitful business practices by enforcing New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act and other regulations,” said Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Division of Consumer Affairs.

“Beyond the winter holidays, the Consumer Affairs staff is available to assist County residents who believe they may be victims of fraud or unfair business.”

Before you shop, consider the following advice from the FTC: • Make a list of not only items you would like to purchase, but also incidentals such as wrapping paper, cards and dining out.

• In stores, make sure the scanned prices for your purchases are correct. Overcharges cost time and money, especially when they are not noticed right away.

• Before buying anything based on an online review, search for information from a trusted source. Browsing the internet for different prices may help keep you on budget.

• If you use your smartphone or computer to shop for deals, be weary of unexpected

emails, texts or notifications that may flood your device. Fraudulent websites will advertise to consumers claiming bargains on a variety of brand names.

• Save your receipts. When online shopping, keep copies of order numbers, refund policies, shipping costs and warranties.

• Be mindful of warranties. Even though it is not required by law, warranties come with the majority of major purchases.

• Have packages delivered to a secure location or if someone is home. If no one is home, have the package delivered to work or see if a neighbor can be on the look-out.

“Monmouth County consumers contact us to say a favorite restaurant or nail salon is under new ownership and they cannot use their gift certificate. Another example would be a consumer may find that the furniture store where they recently placed an order is now empty,” said Annmarie DeVito, director of the Division of Consumer Affairs. “The Consumer Affairs staff can provide assistance and help County residents resolve all types of consumer-related issues.”

Information about consumer affairs programs, complaint histories of businesses and lemon law booklets can be found on the County website at visitmonmouth.com, by calling 732431-7900 or by emailing consumeraffairs@ co.monmouth.nj.us. The office is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Announces 2019 Season

OCEAN – The Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Theater, Monmouth County’s newest professional ballet company, announces an exciting line up of ballets for the 2019 season including “Jungle Book,” “Alice in Wonderland,” and “The Nutcracker Rocks.”

A new subscription plan allows dance lovers to enjoy all three ballets with a season discount.

“We’re thrilled to announce our first full season of exciting and uniquely fun ballets,” commented Elise Feldman, president of the Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Theater. “Our inaugural performance in of A Midsummer Night’s Dream created a tremendous buzz in the local arts community, and the accolades we received show that there is a strong desire for this caliber of ballet from dance lovers throughout Monmouth County!”

“The Jungle Book,” running February 2 through 10 is a new, contemporary ballet

based on Rudyard Kipling’s collection of stories about a boy adopted and raised by wolves, who fulfills his quest for identity, love and belonging. The Jungle Book will feature ballet and contemporary choreography by Gabriel Chajnik and an exciting collaboration with classical Indian dance choreographer and teacher Sudha Shekhar Devulapalli.

The production features a fusion of Bharatanatyam and ballet performed by a cast of professional dancers and talented young trainees, as well as dazzling visuals and costumes by acclaimed designer José Solis and striking masks and headpieces designed by Tentacle Studios, whose clients include Lady Gaga, Kesha, and the Royal Ballet.

“Alice in Wonderland,” running August 25-29, is a contemporary ballet based on the Lewis Carroll favorite. Alice sits by a

riverbank on a warm summer day, drowsily reading over her sister’s shoulder when she catches sight of a white rabbit in a waistcoat.

This jumpstarts a fun, whimsical adventure in which Alice, Carroll’s celebrated little girl creation, meets a cast of extraordinary characters, from the fierce Queen of Hearts and a bubbly Mad Hatter, to the funny Cheshire Cat and the mysterious Caterpillar.

With an imaginative, eye-popping digital-projection landscape that will transport audiences into Wonderland, this magical story will be told through the imaginative choreography of Gabriel Chajnik and a live orchestra conducted by Jason Tramm.

Finally, in time for the holidays, it’s “The Nutcracker Rocks,” a contemporary new look at an old classic! Perfect for the entire family, “The Nutcracker ROCKS” is a mixture of high-power music and dance that will transport you to a land of brave toy soldiers

and sweet sugar plum fairies.

Based on Hoffman’s original story, choreographer Gabriel Chajnik translates the Victorian-era Nutcracker from the bustles and ruffles of the 1890s to contemporary times. Clara’s rocker Uncle Drosselmeier shakes things up when he shows up to a distinguished Manhattan holiday party with his electric guitar and his amazing toys, igniting the imagination of people young and old.

The beloved Tchaikovsky score is reimagined in collaboration with renowned rocker Alex Levine, a member of The Gaslight Anthem. The Nutcracker ROCKS is destined to be a Jersey Shore staple for many holidays to come.

To subscribe to the series or order individual tickets, visit axelrodartscenter.com or call the box office at 732-531-9106 ext.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Garden State Medical Center’s Dr. Usmani Is The Detective On The Case

By Michael Vandenberg When a detective is trying to figure out, for instance, who stole the diamond ring, he’ll fi rst question the usual suspects. Most of the time that’s the end of the investigation, but sometimes it’s only the beginning. Maybe it’s actually the person he least expects. Or perhaps after examining the evidence, he realizes it was an act of nature instead. And then there are the times that in the course of his investigation he uncovers something else entirely and is able to prevent a far more malicious crime from occurring. If you listen to Dr. Qaisar Usmani talk about just a few of his fascinating anonymous diagnoses stories, you’ll quickly realize that rheumatology works much the same way.

Rheumatology was an acquired taste for Dr. Usmani: back in his residency days, he mastered cardiology but found rheumatology to be a more difficult subject at first.

But he relished the challenge.

In 1999 he opened up his own practice right across the street from Kimball Medical Center in Lakewood. He enjoyed every second he was helping patients reach recovery. The problem with owning your own doctor’s office, however, is that there’s a mountain of paperwork that never seems to get any smaller. Dr. Usmani started to look for a way to give his patients 100 percent of his focus again.

Having shared a lot of the same patients with Dr. Dharam Mann, founder of Garden State Medical Center, over the years, Dr. Usmani began to notice how well GSMC treats them. “I was satisfied with what he was doing for my patients.

That’s how it star ted,” said Dr. Usmani.

About a year ago, Dr. Mann was interested in expanding the practice, and Dr. Usmani decided to become the newest addition to the Garden State Medical Center family in April of 2018.

Now, thanks to GSMC’s elec-

tronic filing systems and large network of supportive staff, Dr. Usmani is able to just do what he loves: treat patients and alleviate their pain. “You see the patient and you take care of them. That’s what I like,” he said.

And the Dr. Usmani that isn’t distracted by physician bureaucracy is the rheumatologist able to help you with a large variety of ailments that you may be experiencing.

He helps patients with many types of arthritis alone, including psoriatic, rheumatoid, inflammatory, and that of the hand, knee, back, and neck.

In addition, he’s treated countless cases of lupus, vasculitis, sarcoidosis, and gout, just to name a few. Diagnosis of these conditions can be toughsomething like shortness of breath can be caused by a range of illnesses- but his experience makes it a lot easier.

Once the criminal is found, so to speak, the delicate art of treatment can begin. Help is never one-size-fits-all when you’re treated by good physicians like Dr. Usmani, so he’ll be sure to take the proper steps to lead you toward recovery. “You have to be careful what medicines you give them,” he explained. While the target is to make sure you get better, he also wants to confirm that the medicine is safe by perfectly gauging the proper the person looked fatigued. tion sounded like it was trend- but they decided that doing amount you need, if you even They talked for a few minutes ing positive, but Dr. Usmani nothing was not an option. “We need it at all. “I’m very careful. and then, “out of nowhere, I decided to examine him just took the risk, and thankfully I don’t want to give pills unnec- asked him if he has arthritis.” to confirm. “And to my surprise, she had a beautiful healthy essarily.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of dec 15 - dec 21

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Whisper sweet nothings to receive sweet somethings. This is an excellent week to think up delightful ways to create harmony in romantic relationships. Avoid initiating crucial changes or making major business decisions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Although other people may want to hurry a project along it is in your best interest to remain calm, cool, and collected. Don’t make a business deal into a competition during the week ahead or you will be needlessly frustrated.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone’s words may move you or help you achieve inner peace.

There may be a few moments this week when you feel you have connected on a spiritual level. Good communication helps you excel at the workplace.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your affectionate attitude might warm the heart of a partner. Remain sensitive to the rights and feelings of others, especially family members, as this week unfolds. Bonds of affection might easily grow stronger.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Earn success by being focused on achieving your career aspirations.

It might seem that the enemies are battering down your defenses, but you hold the high ground. A little romance might be in the stars in the week to come.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One phase must end before another may begin. Reflect on ways to repair key relationships and you can find just the right words to banish an awkward situation. Use your good taste in the upcoming week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Just because you are a bit stressed or discouraged doesn’t mean you must take it out on others. Show off your compassion and sympathy in the week ahead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actions speak louder than words, but words can compel someone to take the most beneficial actions. Make it a point to prove you mean what you say. A special someone might be appreciative of your loyalty this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know what happens when the blind lead the blind.

Emotional issues can cloud your judgement in the week ahead, so it is a good idea to rely on the best available information before you take a crucial step.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be patient with those who cause agitation during the week ahead. This is not a good week to engage in petty squabbles when an understanding attitude will smooth the way. You can help someone by lending an ear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Tame your trigger finger. You could create an adversary out of an advocate if you are too quick on the draw. Your good taste is at a high point, so this is a good week to focus on surrounding yourself with lovely things.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Enjoy immense imagination. Whether you are apart for a few hours or separated by a continent you and a loved one may remain on the same wavelength. Concentrate on creating lasting harmony as this week unfolds.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Baking Memories: Classic Italian Cookie Is A Lovely Christmas Treat

By Wolfgang Puck

COCOA BISCOTTI WITH WALNUTS AND BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS Makes 7 to 7 1/2 dozen 4 cups (1 L) all-purpose flour 1 cup (250 mL) unsweetened cocoa 1 tablespoon baking powder 8 ounces (250 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) granulated sugar 4 large eggs 2 teaspoons brandy 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups (500 mL) shelled walnut halves 1 cup (250 mL) good-quality bittersweet chocolate chips 1 large egg white, lightly beaten, for egg wash 3 tablespoons coarse sugar crystals In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder. Set aside.

Put the butter and granulated sugar in the large bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment or beaters.

Start beating at a low speed until slightly blended; then, raise the speed to high and continue beating until fluffy.

Reduce the speed to medium, add 1 egg, and beat until just combined; then, in the same way, add each of the remaining 3 eggs. Beat in the brandy and vanilla.

Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour in the sifted ingredients, beating until just combined. Add the nuts and chocolate chips, and beat just until evenly incorporated.

With lightly floured hands and working on a lightly floured smooth work surface, divide the dough in 3

equal portions and form each portion into a log about 15 inches (37.5 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap, place on a baking tray, and refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours.

Before baking, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C).

When the logs are firm, unwrap 1 or 2 and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper; if placing 2 logs on the tray, position them about 4 inches (10 cm) apart to allow for spreading during baking. Brush each log with the beaten egg white, and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the sugar crystals. Bake the logs until they are slightly firm to the touch, about 35 minutes; do not be concerned about any cracks in the logs. Bake remaining logs in the same way.

Transfer the tray with the baked logs to a wire rack, and leave the logs to cool completely without trying to move them. Carefully wrap the cooled logs in plastic wrap, set them on a baking tray, and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, preheat the oven to 275 F (135 F). Fit 1 or 2 wire racks inside a rimmed baking tray to fill it completely.

Meanwhile, move a log to a cutting board and unwrap it. With a sharp, serrated knife, use a sawing motion to trim off the end of a log at a sharp angle of at least 45 degrees. Then, continue carefully cutting even slices barely 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick and about 4 inches (10 cm) long, making 28 to 30 slices per log. (You can use the ends, too, if you like.) As each log is sliced, arrange the slices on top of the racks in the baking tray. Bake until the slices have hardened, about 35 minutes; then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining logs.

Store the biscotti in airtight containers.
