| February 9, 2019

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – The Township Planning Board recently heard testimony for a proposal to construct a BP gas station at the long-empty gas station property located at 695 Route 9 North and Wyckoff Mills Road in Howell.

The Jan. 17 meeting ran long but testimony was still not completed; the case will be heard again at the Feb. 21 meeting of the planning board.

Gill Petroleum Inc. presented their application for preliminary and final site plan use of the property at Block 140, Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4.01 to establish a BP gas station and convenience store.

The company plans to remove “all existing site improvements including the existing access drives and construct a 3,000 square foot convenience store with gasoline fuel dispensing service consisting of six (6) pump islands and an attendant kiosk beneath a 62 foot x 62 foot canopy.”

The site would also require the installation of three 15,000-gallon underground fuel storage tanks for regular, premium and diesel fuel, a right in-only drive, a right out-only drive, a right in/left out drive along Wyckoff (Gas Station - See Page 2)

Elementary Schools Receive STEM Grants

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell Township’s Memorial Elementary and Adelphia School were each awarded a grant from the Walmart of Freehold to be used for STEM projects. Memorial received $500 and Adelphia received $1,200.

According to Ray Gredder, principal of Memorial, the $500 grant was applied for on behalf of Mrs. Catie Milchman.

The funds will be used to supplement a flexible seating environment.

“Many classrooms are moving to a flexible seating environment and research, although relatively new on the subject, does support the claim that flexible class-

rooms produce greater student achievement,” Gredder told The Howell Times.

With this grant, Milchman and the Memorial administration will work together to purchase the appropriate materials to get the project rolling.

“We are certainly thankful to Catie Milchman for taking the time to apply for this grant as well as thankful to Walmart of Freehold for their commitment to their local community,” Gredder added.

At Adelphia School, the $1,200 grant was applied for by Mrs. Amanda Vogelei, the Media Specialist, according (Grants - See Page 2)

Gas Station:

Attorney Salvatore Alfieri represented Gill Petroleum at the meeting.

Gill Petroleum’s first witness was Richard Simun, a Licensed Site Remediation Professional through the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Simun discussed soil contamination and groundwater impacts at the site.

According to Simun, he was retained by BP to provide insight on the storage tank removal case.

He was meant to review the case to determine whether it met NJDEP remediation standards, which he said it did.

Following the removal of the tanks and an investigation into the soil and groundwater in 2008, Simun informed the board that “all soil on the site complies with applicable soil remediation standards.” And groundwater contamination is “stable or decreasing.”

After this determination, a report was filed for a Remediation Action Permit with the NJDEP

to ensure monitoring of the site until the groundwater concentrations reach compliant levels.

According to Simun, there is nothing they have found that would prohibit development on the property.

Freehold resident Barbara Dixle, a regular at Howell Township meetings, took the opportunity during public comment to address her concerns about gasoline contamination from the site. She entered numerous documents and photos as public evidence with the board attorney during the meeting.

Another resident and local business owner, John Woolley, owner of Woolley’s Fish Market and Seafood House, praised Gill Petroleum for their work on determining the environmental impact at the location. Woolley’s Fish Market is located at 655 Route 9, near the property in question.

Despite praise, Woolley requested the possibility of installing groundwater wells on his property to ensure that no gasoline would contaminate it.

To this, Simun stated that the groundwater would flow from north to south and the “limited contamination is within the boundaries,” of the gas station property.

The second witness for Gill Petroleum was Brian Shortino, Licensed Professional Engineer for Burton Engineering Associates. Shortino’s firm submitted the preliminary and final site plan.

“What we’re proposing to do is the demolition of those remaining structures, and the applicant has acquired a portion of the parcel to the south which actually expands the site…and they plan on redeveloping the site with new convenience store, new canopy, new pump layout,” said Shortino.

Shortino’s testimony explained the layout of the property. On the southernmost end would be off-street parking and the location of the underground storage tanks. He added that the driveways on the site will be new, but will function the same as the old ones. The larger expanded site simply required new drive ways.

The center of the property will house the new canopy and six pump islands for regular gasoline. The diesel fuel island will be located east of the proposed tanks on the southern side of the property. The diesel island will not have a canopy, said Shortino, in order to accommodate the larger vehicles that require diesel.

“The intent is to keep it separate,” he said.

The application will continue at the Feb. 21 meeting at 7 p.m.

Grants:

Continued From Page 1 to principal Daniella Palazzolo. The funds will be used to purchase flexible seating and STEM materials for the Media Center at Adelphia.

“Incorporating STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, into all learning experiences allows for student-led inquiry and discovery through hands-on experiences which create pathways to 21st Century Teaching and Learning,” said Palazzolo.

Palazzolo noted that both she and Vogelei are excited to begin the STEM expansion project.

“Kudos to Mrs. Vogelei for receiving this grant and thank you to Walmart for their commitment to supporting educators,” she added.

This proposed budget would be offset by $330,000 from capital reserve for new radios, and $357,200 from surplus, according

to Treasurer George Patten.

Patten confirmed that on the ballot for Fire District No. 2 Board of Fire Commissioners are incumbents Dr. Harry Carter, chairman, Thomas Ward, vice chairman, and newcomer Robert Tice.

Law Would Allow Homeless Shelters To Open Before Weather Freezes

T R EN TON - I n re sponse to concerns that local off icials in Toms R i ve r a n d t h r o u g h o u t New Je r sey a re st r uggling to authorize shelter for the homeless during winter weather events, Senator Rober t Si nger and Senate Republica n L e a de r Tom Ke a n i nt r o d u c e d leg i sl at ion to change New Jersey’s Code Blue standards to ensure no one pays the p r i c e fo r l a n g u a g e i n the law.

The bill was formally i nt r o d u c e d d u r i ng t he Senate quorum on Thursday, Jan. 31.

“I was devast ated to hear that the homeless a re bei ng t u r ned away from shelters in Ocean County this winter,” Senator Singer (R-30) said.

“Homelessness is a crisis circumstance every day but with severe temperatures it can be a matter of life or death. We need to strengthen current initiatives,” Singer added. “I welcome the partnership and support of the local officials I met with, and all those who work hard ever y day to help our homeless get the care and shelter they need.”

Alzheimer’s Research Moving Forward, Needs Continued Support

From The Desk Of

WASHINGTON, D.C. Below is a transcript of Rep. Chris Smith’s (R-4th) video remarks delivered to the Alzheimer’s Community Forum hosted by Alzheimer’s Association Greater New Jersey Chapter at Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank on Jan. 29:

Code Blue was designed to save lives. No one should be forced to suffer because of problematic language in a law that was meant to help people.”

“And thank you for inspiring hope - tangible hope - for the 5.7 million Americans who currently suffer from this disease and for their caregivers and loved ones.

“Twent y years ago, I cofounded - and continue to this day to co-chair - the Congressional Alzheimer’s Task Force. We had 181 lawmakers on the Task Force last year and are reorganizing now for the new congress.

“The Task Force is a bipartisan working group designed to educate, sensitize, challenge and mobilize members of Congress and the executive branch to leave no stone unturned in the struggle to mitigate, and someday cure, this dreaded disease.

“In 2005 I was the prime author of H.R. 1262 - the Ronald Reagan Alzheimer’s Breakthrough Act, a comprehensive blueprint for effective action - a bold initiative to double NIH funding for Alzheimer’s to $1.4 billion a year, launch a public education campaign at CDC and provide assistance to caregivers.

“Despite having 63 bipartisan cosponsors, the legislation died in com-

mittee.

“Absolutely undeterred howeve r, a nd work i ng closely with the Alzheime r’s A sso ciat ion , we c ont i nue d t o st r ive t o achieve these goals.

“The big breakthrough came in 2011, when we passed the National Alzheimer’s Project Act. “That law not only created an advisory committee for a whole- of-gover nment approach, but it also created a national strategy with a goal of finding a cure, or a disease-modifying therapy, by 2025.

“Research funds have increased each year since.

“This year alone – 2019 - NIH has received $2.3 billion in federal funds for Alzheimer’s Disease research.

“And like you, I believe that boosting funds for this critically important resea rch w ill ma ke a n enormous difference.

“This past weekend, an article in the Asbury Park Press focused on a study published in the peer-reviewed jour nal Science Advances, that suggests that a bacterium that destroys gum tissue is linked to dementia and Alzheimer’s.

“Because Alzheimer’s research is now robust and serious and aggressive, the puzzle of causation - and effective treatment - will be solved.”

the local Quaker Abolition movement are examined and illuminated through the lens of the influential early activities at the Shrewsbury and Manasquan Meetings, and others.

Presented by local author and historian Rick Geffken of Farmingdale whose most recent book --- co-authored with George Severini -- was Lost Amusement Parks of the North Jersey Shore.

Teas, Essential Oils And Supplements Needed In Winter

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The winter is lovely, the trees are all flocked and the air is so fresh. You can make snowballs and fire up the crock pot with soup. I SO love winter, and when the snow begins to fall, I stay in my PJs and crawl into my favorite recliner, with a big fuzzy blue throw and a hot pack.

When it’s cold, many biochemical changes take place in the human body which led to dryness of the skin and lips, suppressed immunity, reduced production of some neurotransmitters, the packing on of winter fat, higher risk of heart attacks and certainly more sniffles, coughing and general sickness from cold and flu. Sadness and depression are common.

Today my focus will be to help you stay as well and comfy as possible during the hibernation months. I have a more comprehensive version of this article available only to my newsletter subscribers. Join my online community at suzycohen.com and I will email it to you.

Here are some common winter problems: • Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) a.k.a. Depression - This is a seasonal type of depression and sadness that lifts in the springtime and summer. Researchers sometimes attribute the winter blues to reduced exposure to sunlight. Therefore, a natural mood booster might be a light device, or some vitamin D supplementation. Vitamin C could help because it helps contribute to production of happy brain chemicals.

• Headaches - Cold climates cause

blood vessels to tighten a little bit, and the narrowing reduces blood flow. When blood vessels are constricted, it can trigger headaches and migraines. The fix might be to maintain hydration and supplement with magnesium which keeps your blood vessels dilated. Vitamin C helps them maintain elasticity.

• Dryness and Dehydration - Skin gets very dry, especially your heels. Look at them, I bet they’re cracked and dry. Put some pure jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive or grape seed oil on your finger, or a cotton pad and apply it to your heels. Then put on your socks and shoes. Repeat this if you need after your evening shower.

Drink plenty of water that has been infused with marshmallow root. I have a video on YouTube showing you how to make this. Also, add a pinch of sea salt or “Real Salt” to your water for electrolytes.

• Cough, Cold and Flu - In order to reduce your risk for respiratory illness and cold or flu, you have to rev up your immune system. Start with probiotics and vitamin C for prevention. Eucalyptus essential oil (EO) is another natural fix for when you are actually sick. When I was down with the flu, I found that a steam inhalation using just 2 drops in a pot of hot water worked great to open up my sinuses, and stop the coughing. I also took drank Melissa officinalis as well as green tea.

I’m not advising any of you, just sharing my personal experiences. Please ask a holistic practitioner or doctor if these are right for you.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE “Let’s Talk” With Dr. Jani

By Michael Vandenberg “ T h e e r a of p ate r n a l i s tic medicine where I’m the doctor, you’re the patient, and you’re going to do this bec ause I say so is long gone,” Dr. Samir Jani said to me recently. “That’s just not the way I was trained.”

When it comes to your health, shouldn’t you be in the driver’s seat? That’s certainly the guiding philosophy passed down by Garden State Medic al Center ’s founder, Dr. Dharam Mann, and it’s what makes Dr. Jani the perfect f it here. He wants to use his expertise and impart his knowledge to help you make an informed decision about your pain management.

And there’s no question that Dr. Jani has plenty of information to share because he checks all the boxes when it comes to education. At age 17 he was already accepted into a higher education program that included a guaranteed spot in medical school. He kept a high GPA while taking his courses at an accelerated rate that allowed him to finish a year early. Then he jumped right into residencies and a fellowship focusing on pain, anesthesiology, and internal medicine, culminating in his current specialty of Interventional Pain Management. He finished his fellowship and began practicing in 2016, making his way to GSMC the following year.

Dr. Jani pointed to a variety of reasons as to why he decided to make the switch to GSMC. For one thing, it fosters a seamless team environment. “The support and infrastructure of the practice is huge,” like the large network of staff on hand, to the electronic rec ord keeping. With those tasks already being taken care of, Dr. Jani is able to put his entire focus on alleviating your pain.

After all, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of urgency when it comes to pain management because people are running out of options by the time they come to him. Most

of Dr. Jani’s patients are those who have seen countless doctors and had lots of tests but have never been able to find a diagnosis and fi x the underlying cause. “ My ankle hur ts,” Dr. Jani said as a general example. “I’ve seen ten podiatrists, I’ve had six ankle surgeries, and no one’s fi xed it.” But even though it may never be fi xed, “there are things we can do to at least help you get rid of the pain”.

Thankfully, Dr. Jani is not the type of doctor who just throws pills at the problem; he has a ver y strict interpretation of the related safety regulations. Not that he doesn’t use medications at all, but it’s only a tiny part of what he can do. “We’re highly inter ventional,” said Dr. Jani. He can target the pain with various injections, or hide the pain using electricity to target different stimulators in the nervous system. By implanting pain pumps, the medication is delivered directly to your spine, creating a much stronger effect.

It all depends on the severity and longevity of the pain.

These steps may seem elaborate, but rest assured Dr. Jani is conservative in his relief suggestions. “I always tell patients that if I don’t have to do something, I don’t want to do it. So if I can make it go away with a two minute injec tion, that ’s what I ’m going to do,” he said. If that

py if that’s what the patient longer has to take any pills. rarely even has to come in for prefer s.

Let’s Start Holding Insurance Robert C. Shea Esq. Companies Responsible For Their Willingness To Delay, Deny And Defend By: Michael Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Michael J. Deem, Esq, of R.C. Shea & Associates is a member of the New Jersey Association for Justice Board of Governors. NJAJ and R.C. Shea & Associates strongly support A-4293, a bill which protects insurance consumers from unreasonable delays in the payment or denials of legitimate claims.

When someone buys an insurance policy, that person has a simple expectation - which is that the insurance provider will be there in their customer’s time of need.

Too often, however, insurers seek to avoid paying claims in order to protect their bottom lines. We are very concerned about the rising trend of insurance companies acting in bad faith by unreasonably delaying or denying payment that is justly due. This is practice is unfair and wrong. Insurers should have their customers, not their shareholders be their highest priority.

A-4293 recognizes this obvious injustice and remedies it by allowing those filing claims the first-party right to sue their insurance companies for bad faith if and when those companies fail to properly settle claims.

Insurance companies have civil and criminal remedies available to hold people accountable if they commit insurance fraud. They have the Office of Insurance Fraud as an arm of state government to investigate and prosecute insurance fraud when the companies are victim. But, the honest consumer does not now have a remedy against an insurance company when a valid claim is denied or delayed.

This bill levels the playing field so consumers are protected when they are the victim of insurance fraud.

Whether it is for claims relating to declared disasters or automobile coverage that they are required by the State of New Jersey to purchase, the first-party right to sue levels the proverbial playing field. It allows consumers to hold powerful insurance companies accountable for delaying or denying just payment to their customers.

Automobile insurance is perhaps

Michael J. Deem

the only product that people are required to purchase but are then forced to seek permission in order to use it.

Additionally, the provider of that insurance product is then permitted to tell the consumer that he or she cannot use a product that they have already purchased. A-4293 corrects this situation.

This bill seeks recognition of that fact that insurance companies should be held to account when the fail to act in good faith. This is a simple expectation that every consumer has when they choose to do business with any company. The fact that auto insurance consumers are required by law to purchase this service and that they are putting the wellbeing of themselves and their loved one in the hands of the insurance companies only increases the stakes.

In far too many cases, insurance companies delay, deny and defend claims.

This dishonest practice forces their customers to fight for needed medical care, treatment for injuries or funds to repair damaged property. When an insurance company unjustly delays or denies the payment of legitimate claims, consumers must have the right to go to court.

Presently, consumers in this state have no practical remedy if their insurance company unreasonably delays or refuses payment on a claim.

Insurance customers are entitled to have their claims resolved in a fair and equitable manner without unreasonable delay; this is why they need the ability to seek redress when an insurance company acts in bad faith.

We strongly encourage our readers to contact their Legislature and ask him/ her to pass A-4293 which would provide much needed insurance consumer protection. R.C. Shea & Associates has form letters and e-mail available should you require assistance with your effort to contact your Legislature. Please do not hesitate to call us: 732-505-1212.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

FRHSD Choir Festival Brings Students Together In Perfect Harmony

FREEHOLD – Altos, tenors, basses, and sopranos from each high school in the Freehold Regional High School District came together in perfect harmony during the district’s first choir festival.

Guest conductor Paul Caliendo worked with the group on the day of the festival

where they performed a piece titled, “Heather’s World.” The song was of particular significance to Mr. Caliendo and Howell High School Choir Director Regina McAllen. It was written in memory of a former student of both his and Mrs. McAllen’s from Point Pleasant

who had passed away shortly after her graduation in 2008. The lyrics were written by Mr. Caliendo and Heather’s mother, while the music was prepared

by John Caliendo.

Mrs. McAllen said, “When thinking about what piece to sing with all the

d i f fe re nt h ig h scho ols , we wa nt e d something original and unique, that no one had already done.” “Heather’s World” came to mind and the students all embraced the song and its meaning.

Mr. Caliendo hopes to have the piece published soon.

History Kids Day!

WALL – History Kids Day, on May 4, 11 a.m.- 4 p.m., is a “hands on” history event that encourages children, between the ages of 5-12, to experience the day to day lives of the villagers at Allaire through interactive and engaging activities.

Children will go to each historic building and try their hands at an activity that represents the history of that building. By doing so they will learn more about the village operations and have a fun, memorable experience. After they complete a station they will be given an ‘Allaire Dollar.’

When they collect six Allaire Dollars, they can

bring them to the General Store and exchange them for a free prize!

This day serves as an introduction to our new program, History Kids Club! This monthly program (beginning in July) will give children the opportunity to experience life in the 19th century through workshops, hands-on activities and nature experiences throughout the village and the park.

Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for kids. On the day of the event, $10 for adults and $7 for kids.

Children under 2 are free.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of feb 9 - feb 15

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week ahead, you may occasionally feel rebellious or that your ideas are ignored but loved ones will be understanding and soothing. You may find an opportunity to purchase items that will stand the test of time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): During the upcoming week your ideas do not need to be newly invented, but some can become newly relevant.

You may be a bit more ambitious than usual or an interest that has lain dormant could be rekindled.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Catch the scent and follow the trail. As the week unfolds the slightest hint that something interesting is going on is like catnip. Your avid interest in people, surroundings, and news makes you interesting to know.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put the shoe on the other foot. You can imagine the feelings of others if you mentally put yourself in their place for a few minutes. In the upcoming week you might be more sensitive and sympathetic than usual.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the week ahead, you could become more interested in what others have to say than in your own opinions. Information overload can create a distraction that is invigorating but lures you away from necessary tasks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be generous and charitable this week. Although you may find it difficult to stay within a stringent budget, you might be willing to make a sacrifice so that someone else enjoys something a bit better than usual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): No one knows which came first, the chicken or the egg, but Horton hatched an egg by never wavering in his devotion. In the week ahead embrace opportunities to demonstrate loyalty toward key people in your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It is easy to fall short when your expectations are too high. You may spend too much to keep up with your social circle this week. Loyal and trustworthy companions will give you the benefit of their experience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The week ahead might bring you in close contact with people who frequently take off on flights of fancy or use a whimsical approach. You may be distracted or sidetracked by social activities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ambitions gain altitude. If you are completely absorbed by a crucial project or business venture your loved ones might feel left out in the cold. Give everyone an equitable share of your time in the week ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may be called upon to put your money where your mouth is in the upcoming week. A group of friends or a social event may remind you that it is better to be generous than to hoard your funds.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can express your romantic nature in myriad ways as this week unfolds. Someone may arouse your sympathies or inspire you to be more kindhearted than usual. You may be admired for your sensitivity.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Chinese Noodles Recipe Means Good Fortune For The New Year

By Wolfgang Puck CHINESE NOODLES WITH SAUTEED CALAMARI Serves 6 8 large garlic cloves, unpeeled 1/4 pound (125 g) green beans, trimmed 3/4 pound (375 g) fresh Chinese egg noodles or thin spaghetti 1 pound (500 g) cleaned fresh calamari, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) rings, tentacles left intact Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil 3/4 cup (185 mL) Chinese rice wine 1/4 cup (60 mL) unseasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar 1/4 pound (125 g) carrots, peeled, trimmed, and cut into thin julienne strips 1/4 pound (125 g) scallions, trimmed and cut into thin strips 2 teaspoons Thai hot chili sauce 1/2 teaspoon Chinese toasted sesame oil First, blanch the garlic and the green beans: Bring a small saucepan of water and a medium pot of generously salted water to a boil.

Drop the whole garlic cloves into the small pot, and blanch for 20 seconds; then use a slotted spoon to transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool for a few minutes. Peel the cloves and then blanch in the boiling water and cool in

the ice water again. Drain, thinly slice, and set aside.

For the green beans, boil them in the salted water for 1 minute, transfer to ice water, cool, and drain. Set aside.

For the noodles, bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Meanwhile, season the calamari with salt and pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a wok over high heat, or an electric wok set to 400 F (200 C). Add the calamari, and stir-fry until opaque and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and set aside.

Pour the juices from the wok into a bowl, add the rice wine, vinegar and soy sauce to the bowl, and set aside.

When the water for the noodles reaches a rolling boil, add 1 tablespoon salt and the noodles. Cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time; drain, immediately transfer to a mixing bowl, toss with 1 tablespoon of peanut oil, and set aside.

Add the remaining peanut oil to the wok, and set the heat to medium. Add the blanched garlic slices, and stirfry until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the sugar, and stir-fry until the garlic begins to caramelize, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. Stir in the rice wine mixture, and stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits. Add the carrots, green beans and half the scallions. Stir in the chili sauce, raise the heat to high, and continue cooking until the sauce reduces by about half.

Stir in the noodles and toss until well coated. Arrange on a platter or divide among serving plates, top with the calamari, garnish with the remaining scallions, and drizzle with sesame oil. Serve immediately.
