By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – So far in 2022, the new year has started off with lots of snow at the Jersey Shore.

On January 7, Howell Township had about 6 inches of snowfall with other areas of New Jersey reaching over 10 inches.

The blizzard that hit the state on January 29 gave

areas as much as 18 inches, with Howell getting around 10 to 15 inches of snow.

When snowfall arrives in Howell, there are nearly 600 miles of roads that need to be plowed. So how does the township prepare for a snowstorm?

Controversial Solar Farm Hearing Delayed

By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – As several residents geared up to continue their fight agai n st a proposed solar energy project in the township, the Howell Zoning Board of Adjustment meeti ng for Ja nu a r y 24 was canceled.

Members of the Zoning Board were set to hear additional testimony from the applicant IPP Solar, LLC, who is proposing a 23-acre solar farm on Victory Road running between Maxim-Southard Road and Lakewood-Farmingdale Road. However,

the project will now be heard on February 14.

The applicant and the property owners, Stavola Realty Company and Stavola Const r uction Mater ials Inc., are seeking a conditional use variance, preliminary and final major subdivision ap-

proval, and preliminary and final major site plan approval to construct a 23-acre, 4.7-megawatt solar facility consisting of two solar panel arrays, two concrete pads for equipment, a 7-foottall chain-link perimeter security fence and

By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – After a local Catholic school in Howell Township announced that they will be closing their doors to students in June, families created a nonprofit in order to save it.

On January 7, parents and students of Mother Seton Academy were blindsided when a notice was put out stating that the school will be closing down perma-

nently at the end of the school year.

“As co-directors of Mother Seton Academy, we write to you today to announce a sad, but unavoidable decision about the future of our school,” Rev. John P. Bambrick of St. Aloysius Parish in Jackson and Rev. Peter J. Alindogan of St. Veronica Parish in Howell, said in a letter (School - See Page 3)

Snowstorm:

Continued From Page 1 Howell Township, explained how the department tracks a storm and decides what procedures are best to handle it.

“We first watch the weather forecast.

Howell has a contracted weather service that I call up and speak with the forecasters.

Whether it’s a snowstorm or high winds, or heavy rains, I call them about two or three times before the event and sometimes even during the event to get updates,” he said.

“For this recent storm, we have a fairly decent handle on what we’re going to be getting. Then we have to make the decision whether or not we are going to brine or not.”

School:

Continued From Page 1 to families, educators and staff.

“After careful analysis of enrollment and financial challenges; consultation with advisors at the parish and diocesan levels, and prayerful discernment of any available options, we must formally announce the closing of Mother Seton Academy at the end of the present school year,” the letter said.

The school opened in September 2019, merging St. Veronica School in Howell and St. Aloysius School in Jackson. According to the letter, enrollment has been a continuing concern for the school despite working

The Howell Times, February 5, 2022, Page 3 Brine is a diluted salt mixture that is used before it snows to it prevents the snow or ice from bonding to the road.

“Brine is storm-dependent; it’s not always used. No two storms are alike,” Novello said. “Once it starts snowing, we’ll put salt down. We start salting the main roads first and work our way out. Once we get out 3 inches of snow, we switch over to plowing and we continue to plow until the storm is done. Sometimes it takes three, four, five passes on a street depending on how hard and long it’s snowing. We take a look at the roads to see if we need to salt again to prevent any icing, if the snow melts then freezes over.”

As for the town’s brine and salt supply,

they were well prepared for the snow this year compared to previous years.

“The brine we get as needed, and we get that from the county. As for the salt, we get that from a vendor through the state. We get it delivered and store it in a salt barn,” Novello said. “Last year when we had all those storms in February, we were hurting for salt, like most people were in the north east. As soon as we hear about a storm, we order more salt to keep that barn full.”

Howell Township has created ordinances in the past, such as moving cars off the street and removing basketball hoops, to prepare for snow and make plowing easier for public works.

“That’s all to make our job safer and eas-

ier,” Novello said. “Another thing residents can do to help us is when they plow snow from the driveway or sidewalk, don’t blow the snow into the road. Those are things that really hinder us. Also, residents should be prepared with food and water when we have big storms like this. It’s recommended not to go out and drive unless you really have to.”

“The snow might stop at 10 a.m., but not all the roads will be plowed by then. I have 573 miles of road to plow in this road, so it takes a while. We do the best we can,” he added.

hard to provide Catholic school education to the community.

The letter also explained how the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the parishes, resulting in them being unable to cover more of the school’s expenses.

The announcement of the school’s closure did not sit well with parents, many stating how the news was unexpected and did not know the school was having issues.

An online petition was created to gather signatures to keep the school open, as well as Facebook page to give updates on the situation.

“We want to save our school. We want to preserve the MSA family and Catholic

education. We want a chance to keep our school open for our children,” Melissa Clemens, who create the online petition, said. “There was an abrupt email sent out on a Friday afternoon stating our school is being closed. There was no notice given.

No options presented. No attempts made to keep this school open for the children.”

On January 27, the “Save Mother Seton Academy” Facebook page stated that families have come together to start the non-profit: Friends of Mother Seton Academy.

“Recently, our community was informed that Mother Seton Academy will be closing its doors at the end of this school year,” the organization wrote. “Our community

is committed to Catholic Education and its values, keeping the doors open for our future generations. The MSA community have created a 501(c)(3) for MSA and are now raising money to save MSA.” According to the nonprofit, the donation tally will be included in a proposal to the Diocese of Trenton Department of Catholic Schools seeking to convert MSA from a parish school to a Diocesan School.

The donation goal for the organization is $500,000. The Facebook page plans on posting donation updates as well as other resources on how to help the school.

Additional associated site improvements include stormwater management basins and buffer landscaping, as well as electric utility improvements on an adjacent lot to connect the proposed solar energy facility to the Jersey Central Power and Light electric grid network on Victory Road.

Attorney Salvatore Alfieri and engineer Christopher Rosati said at a previous meeting that about 20 acres of the property is in a Special Economic Development zone and eight acres is in an Agricultural Rural Estate zone. There are wetlands on a portion of the property, Rosati said.

The proposed site is currently fully wooded and the applicant is seeking to remove 23 acres of trees to construct solar arrays.

At the December 13 meeting, a public comment portion was held and many residents discussed their dissatisfaction with the project, saying it’s not beneficial to the town’s environment.

Victory Road brought up concerns about runoff water and drainage as this area of town already has these problems.

“Victory Road as a whole has a lot of drainage issues… we are very concerned of the extra ground water, runoff water, that Victory Road already has an issue with, as well as the woodland issue,” Dovenero said. “Are we going to make sure there’s no runoff water that will affect the surrounding people?”

After hearing that the January 24 meeting was canceled, residents expressed online why the project is wrong for Victory Road.

“I have nothing against solar in the right place – in a landfill, vacant farmland – but clear cutting 23 acres of trees with wetlands and natural habitats for multiple species and where drainage problems already exist is insanity,” resident Kathleen Novak said.

Residents are also concerned about the negative impact the solar farm would bring to the town, like threatening endangered wildlife that live in that area - being built on wetlands - and its close proximity to residential neighborhoods.

The applicant stated that they will be submitting revised plans on the following areas: recycling details of the panels and infrastructure; the power demand of the utility versus what they’re proposing; possible solar panel pollutions with well water; and shadow study of trees.

These revised plans will be heard at the next meeting on February 14, and the public can once again speak about the changes.

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

Singer Law Will Create Local Drug OD Fatality Review Teams

TRENTON -Legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer to help control the expanding epidemic of overdose deaths was signed into law.

Singer’s bill, A-798/S-52, would authorize counties to establish local drug overdose fatality review teams.

“From every tragic overdose, we can learn valuable lessons that can help avert similar

deaths in future,” said Singer (R-30). “The fatality review teams will provide a proactive approach to saving lives. Rigorous research, analysis and evaluation will help reduce the rampant plague of overdose that threatens our loved ones, friends and neighborhoods.”

The teams would work to develop strategies to prevent drug overdoses and promote co-

operation among state and local government agencies.

“Similar teams have been utilized effectively in other states,” Singer said. “Now we will do the same in New Jersey, and lives will be saved.”

Under the new law, the Commissioner of Health will develop a uniform, standardized reporting process for tracking drug overdose

deaths, and forward specific details and information about each loss to the appropriate local drug overdose fatality review teams.

The review teams will have access to certain health treatment records and government records concerning the overdose victim.

More than 3,000 lives are lost to overdoses in the state annually.

Murphy-Oliver Administration Announces New Program For Struggling Homeowners

TRENTON – Governor Philip D. Murphy and Lt. Governor Sheila Y. Oliver announced the upcoming launch of the Emergency Rescue Mortgage Assistance Program (ERMA), administered by the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA). This program will provide up to $35,000 in assistance to cover mortgage arrearages, delinquent property taxes, and other housing cost delinquencies for eligible homeowners negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

New Jersey’s program utilizes $325.9 million of federal Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) money, and is expected to help thousands of families get back on their feet, stabilizing New Jersey’s most at-risk communities. Foreclosures don’t just hurt the family experiencing them.

They negatively impact the surrounding properties in their neighborhood and hurt their larger community. This assistance offers struggling families a lifeline, and can make other loss mitigation options, such as refinancing, viable.

“We are pleased to announce this new program that will alleviate COVID-19 related housing insecurity for thousands of New Jersey families,” said Governor Murphy. “ERMA is a powerful addition to our portfolio of measures to prevent foreclosures and help New Jersey homeowners stay in their homes.”

ERMA will also provide free housing counseling services to help New Jersey homeowners apply for this program, guide them through all available options, and even work with their loan servicers to achieve the best outcome available for their family. These counselors will also ensure that the process is accessible to those without access to internet or those having difficulties navigating the process.

“Working families have faced unprecedented burdens over the last two years. If you are struggling to pay your mortgage or other homeowner-associated obligations, the ERMA program can help you get back on your feet,” said Lt. Governor Oliver, who serves as Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs and Chair of the NJHMFA board. “We encourage all eligible homeowners to apply for assistance. If you are unsure if you’re eligible, you should call 855-647-7700 to be put in touch with a housing counselor who can help guide you through the process and understand your options.”

In December, New Jersey’s ERMA program became one of the earliest HAF plans to receive United States Department of Treasury approval to launch. The program is fi nanced through the federal Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

“The ERMA program is designed to

support as many vulnerable homeowners as possible in a meaningful and comprehensive way. This robust program reflects the tireless work of staff, legislators, advocates, and federal partners over the past months to identify means to protect those in need across our State. We know that NJHMFA and our housing counselor partners are poised to make a real difference in the lives of thousands of New Jersey families through this important work.” said NJHMFA Executive Director Melanie R. Walter.

The ERMA application portal will open for applications at: njerma.com on February 8 at 9 a.m.

Visit njhousing.gov/dca/hmfa/covid19/haf to review program eligibility and sign up for program updates.

To qualify for the ERMA program, homeowners must meet the following requirements: • Be a New Jersey homeowner with a

demonstrated COVID-19-related financial hardship occurring after January 20, 2020; • Own and occupy an eligible primary residence; • Have an income below 150% of their Area Median Income (AMI).

NJHMFA will provide the centralized application intake platform, eligibility review, and payment of assistance, which will be made directly to the servicer.

ERMA applications can be submitted using a personal computer, laptop, smartphone, or tablet. Housing counselors are available to assist homeowners that need help completing the application or understanding all available options.

NJHMFA will work to accommodate homeowners with disabilities as well as to assist applicants with limited English proficiency. The application portal is available in many languages. Applicants seeking accommodations should contact NJHMFA at (855) 647-7700 for assistance.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Park System Wants Residents To Stay Safe

LINCROFT – Although the weather has been cold, Monmouth County Park System Rangers are cautioning residents that area bays, ponds and reservoirs are not safe for skating or other winter activities. In most cases, ice must be 4 to 5” thick to safely support people. Rangers are trained to test the viability of ice and have observed that currently, ice is simply not thick enough to safely allow access. Testing ice requires systematic daily sampling from multiple locations before the waterbody opens for winter activities.

The appearance of ice can be deceiving, especially to children who may be tempted to venture out onto a frozen waterbody.

Child Advocacy Center Receives Re-Accreditation

MONMOUTH COUNTY – A big congratulations to the Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center who has received their re-accreditation from the National Children’s Alliance.

The Monmouth County Advocacy Center originally received their accreditation in 2010, then reaccredited in 2015. This is the unit’s third accreditation.

Thank you to the entire MCPO Child Advocacy Team for all the hard work and tireless efforts they do to protect children on a daily basis.

Monmouth ACTS Financial Recovery

MONMOUTH COUNTY – Have you found yourself having to decide whether to pay for groceries or your home’s utility bills? For over a year now, COVID-19 has brought a far-reaching financial strain to our community. The Monmouth ACTS Financial Recovery Initiative was created to help provide information on available resources and programs to county residents. For more information, visit: monmouthacts.org/fri.

Even if ice can support the weight of a child at the water’s edge, there are often thin spots from moving water or other conditions that will not support their weight. County Park Superintendent Tom Fobes reminds parents to have a discussion with their children about ice safety. “We love to see kids outside, staying active during winter months,” Fobes said. “But they should only go out on the ice in an area that is posted as safe and is monitored daily by someone with proper training.”

County Park Rangers are monitoring conditions daily and will announce on the Park System’s Winter Activities webpage when conditions are favorable for ice skating and ice fishing.

Two Plead Guilty In Asbury Park Murder

By Chris Lundy ASBURY PARK – Two local men pleaded guilty to a murder that was part of a rash of gun violence in the city.

Jehadje J. McMillian, 23, of Asbury Park was shot at the Prospect Avenue basketball courts on June 14, 2019. He died hours later at the hospital.

Prince D. Young, 24, and Chyrod M.

Freeman, 23, both of Asbury Park, pleaded guilty to first-degree Aggravated Manslaughter and second-degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose. Young also pled guilty to first-degree Conspiracy and second-degree Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, while Freeman also pled guilty to second-degree Aggravated Assault.

Both are facing 20 years in state prison,

subject to the “No Early Release Act,” which means they must serve at least 85 percent of their term before being eligible for parole.

Young and Freeman were only two of four men that were originally named in a 17-count indictment on January 14, 2020 for their roles in McMillian’s homicide or other incidents that were part of a rash of

gun violence in Asbury Park during the summer of 2019. Scimel Jackson, 30, of Jay Street in Lakewood and Jahquan F. Allah, 27, of Asbury Park, were also charged with separate crimes in the indictment, and their cases remain pending.

Jackson was charged with three counts of fi rst-degree Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, fourth-degree Possession of a Prohibited Weapon (hollow point ammunition), third-degree Receiving Stolen Property, and two counts of second degree Certain Persons Not to Have Firearms, arising out of events preceding the McMillian homicide.

Allah is charged with first-degree Attempted Murder as a result of firing a handgun at Prince Young during the shooting incident that resulted in the death of McMillian, second-degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, three counts of second-degree Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, fourth-degree Possession of a Prohibited Weapon, and third-degree Receiving Stolen Property.

Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.

MONNMOUTH COUNTY – Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children of Monmouth is looking forward to 2022 and the good news it will hopefully bring with it. CASA of Monmouth closed out 2021 with gifts for nearly 200 foster children who are in the county child welfare system. The holidays can be a difficult time for children who have been removed from their home, so the annual holiday toy drive is essential to bring happiness to these children. Through the CASA of Monmouth annual holiday wish list, foster children served by CASA advocates received gifts to celebrate the holidays.

Every year, CASA of Monmouth looks to fulfi ll the wishes from the children served by the program. This effort is done through the generosity of CASA volunteers, community members, CASA staff, CASA Executive Board, and local business sponsors. This was the 5th year in a row that the designers of Town & Country Design Studio of Red Bank played a huge role in decorating gift bags and fi lling them with presents for the foster children. Their designers went above and beyond to handcraft exquisitely decorated bags that brought happiness to over 75 of the children.

“While the holiday season can be an emotional time, our volunteers do their very best to bring gifts and smiles to the foster children we serve so they can experience the joy that every child deserves at the holidays,” said Lynn Goelz, Director of Program Services. “We generate a wish list with 3 to 4 items for each child and share it through our social media.

We were overwhelmed by the immediate response! The magic of the season came to life. Our supporters should know they brought tears of joy to these very special children with their donations.”

Court Appointed Special Advocates, CASAs, are highly trained volunteers from our community who work with children in the child welfare system who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. CASAs are assigned to the foster children by a family court judge to advocate for the needs of the children and to work towards a permanent, safe home. CASAs meet with the kids monthly or more to check on their well-being and provide reports to the court. CASA works to ensure these children do not fall through the cracks of the child welfare system.

These advocates become heroes for the children they work with. CASA volunteers bring hope for a brighter future to these children. The emotional toll of being separated from your home and family has a severe impact on these children. The influence of the volunteers cannot be understated – CASA volunteers can improve children’s well-being and help them reach a permanent home. The ultimate goal is always reunification with family if it is safe - or other caring relatives or foster parents ready to adopt.

CASA for Children of Monmouth will begin training a new class of advocates in March to be the “voice” for a child in foster care. If you would like more information about becoming an advocate or donating to foster children, call the offices at 732460-9100 or visit casaofmonmouth.org.

Boating Safety Class Schedule For 2022

POINT PLEASANT – U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla Manasquan Inlet is proud to announce their boating safety class schedule for 2022.

The “Boat America” classes will be held on the following Saturdays: February 26, March 26, April 23, May 14, June 11, July 9 and September 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Thompson Park in Lincroft. Those interested in registering should call Monmouth County Parks System at 732-842-4000. The cost of the 8-hour course and New Jersey State Police test is $75.

“We are excited to announce our 2022 boating safety classes and teach boaters the importance of recreational boating safety,” said Flotilla Commander Anna M. Ackaway. “Students will learn a variety of skills including an introduction to boating, laws and regulations, safety equipment needed, safe operation and navigation, how to handle a boating emergency, trailering and watersports safety. Thank you to our fantastic partners at the Monmouth County Parks System for hosting us for another year.”

“Recreational boating safety is our number one priority in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and we love helping boaters be as safe as possible on the water,” said Flotilla Staff Officer of Public Education John Scordato.

“According to the latest data from the U.S. Coast Guard, 77% of deaths occurred on boats where the operator did not receive boating safety instruction. Compared to 2019, the number of accidents increased 26.3 percent, the number of deaths increased 25.1 percent, and the number of injuries increased 24.7 percent. With more boaters on the water, taking your boating safety course is a clear-cut way to be safer on the water.”

“Boat America” classes are required by the State of NJ to operate a personal watercraft and any other power vessel. Flotilla 16-07 will be holding multiple “Boat America” classes throughout Monmouth and Ocean County and information is posted on their website and Facebook.

Thyroid Myths And Facts

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Unexplained fatigue, hair that is falling out quickly, feeling cold and the concern that you’re losing your mind! These are pretty hallmark symptoms of thyroid illness which goes undiagnosed due to poor standards for testing. The tiredness, hair loss, thermal dysregulation and brain fog are very common but not exclusive to this condition.

It’s true this a topic that may not interest a person until the doctor says you have a “thyroid problem.” So today I wanted to show you that it’s not necessary to wait until the diagnosis is upon you. It’s possible that you can notice the hallmark symptoms yourself, and get help before it becomes too serious. To do that, I’d like to take 5 minutes and make sure you can separate the myths from facts.

Myth: You need physician to find out if you have thyroid illness.

Fact: No, you can self-order blood tests today and ask for a Thyroid Profile. This is the basic test to take. You may do that test, along with other specialized blood test such as TPO antibodies. You do need a physician for proper treatment and help.

This is not something you can self treat.

Myth: A natural approach using a diet can manage hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism.

Fact: No, this alone will not cure anyone.

Low (or high thyroid hormone) production requires natural or conventional medication, or a little bit of both! The two common meds used for this include natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) or levothyroxine. You will need to a physician to get a

prescription for medication, and to receive proper treatment.

Myth: Thyroid disease does not affect fertility.

Fact: False, thyroid problems make it harder to become pregnant, and the risk for miscarriage is higher.

Myth: You can’t eat cauliflower, broccoli or Brussels sprouts if you have thyroid disease because it can enhance goiter formation.

Fact: No. It’s the raw consumption that has a small potentially negative impact, but you’d have to eat a lot! If you cook your vegetables, you can eat them with no problem and they are very healthy.

Myth: If you’ve been taking a medication and it has stopped working, that means you are getting worse.

Fact: False, if you are taking a medication and you no longer respond, you may need a different dosage, or adrenal support. The thyroid gland and the adrenal glands work together. You may need natural herbal adaptogens to improve adrenal fatigue. Once adrenals are balanced, your thyroid medication will begin to work like magic! If you have been stressed for a very long time, you may benefit more from a desiccated thyroid pill than levothyroxine which is T4. The T4 doesn’t convert very well to active thyroid hormone.

I hosted a worldwide Thyroid Summit and interviewed many doctors and experts on thyroid disease. I offer a flash drive with all of those interviews as well as a book on the topic called Thyroid Healthy.

Inside The Law The Bulk Sales Act As It Applies To The Sale Of Real Estate

Marc S. Galella Esq.

By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Anyone selling real estate in New Jersey needs to be aware of the terms of the Bulk Sales Act. The purpose behind the Bulk Sales Act is to protect a purchaser from any taxes owed by the seller to the State of New Jersey.

The failure to follow the Bulk Sales procedures could result in the State assessing any tax liability of the seller against the purchaser.

For the purposes of the Bulk Sale Act, the only real estate that is exempt from the Bulk Sales filing requirement is a simple dwelling house, which is a oneor two-family residential building, or condominium, if the seller is an individual, estate or trust. Almost all other real estate transactions are required to file pursuant to the Bulk Sales Act. The filing procedure for the Bulk Sales Act is relatively straightforward.

At least 10 business days prior to the closing of title, the purchaser or their attorney must file a form with the State referred to as a C-9600 Bulk Sales Notice. The form contains information about the transaction including the seller’s name and tax ID number as well as the purchaser’s name and tax ID number. The terms of the sale must be disclosed by way of a copy of the real estate contract attached to the form.

Once the State receives that form, it will then review its records to determine whether the seller owes any taxes to the State, including any taxes that may result from the specific sale. The State will then send what is referred to as a Bulk Sales escrow letter to the buyer’s attorney. The Bulk Sales escrow letter will direct how much money must be escrowed from the seller at closing pending a determination by the State as to the actual taxes owed. The next step is for the seller or their accountant to submit to the State a form known as a TTD (Transfer Tax Declaration) form in which the seller discloses the taxes that may be due to the State as a result of the transaction.

In some cases, the Bulk Sales notice and the TTD form can be submitted simultaneously so that the State can make a determination as to amount of taxes owed. Once the State determines the taxes owed, it will send a second letter directing the buyer’s attorney to release a specific amount of money from the escrow held at closing. Upon the State receives that money it will then send a third letter to the buyer’s attorney authorizing the release of the remaining escrow to the seller.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

The Never-Ending Winter Blues

Dear Joel, I can’t take much more of the winter.

It just seems so gloomy, and I hate worrying about the snow and cold weather.

Any suggestions?

Answer: They call it the winter blues for a reason, but winter can be a blessing. It is a great time to focus and plan out your year. It’s also a great time to catch up on reading and organizing. Take some time to restock your pantry, collect old clothes for

donation and re-watch some old movies. You will learn to love winter.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Van Donated To Girl Scouts Of The Jersey Shore

JERSEY SHORE – The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore has received a van donated by United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties and refurbished by Causeway Family of Dealerships.

“The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore is grateful for our local community supporters”, said Heather Coburn, Interim CEO, GSJS. “This generous donation will support operations at our camps, Camp Amity Acres (Waretown) and Camp Sacajawea (Farmingdale). Our camps give girls the space to discover a strong sense of self, gain practical life skills, become resourceful problem solvers, and cultivate healthy friendships.”

Camp Amity Acres and Camp Sacajawea are open to all girls, ages 3 to 15, and their sibling brothers, ages 3 to 12, for an unforgettable summer. Camp registration is now open for our 2022 season. Visit our website GSFun.org to discover more about our camps.

“We are thrilled to once again assist the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, with a vehicle donation!”, said Joe Stroffolino, Director

Coffee Talks For Home Gardeners

MONMOUTH COUNTY – The Rutgers Master Gardeners of Monmouth County presents their “Coffee Talks for Home Gardeners” free webinar series.

They are using WebEx as their webinar platform. Visit the links below to register for each webinar topic you want to attend: February 12 – Elevate Your Gardening: Raise Your Beds! Register here: tinyurl.com/ RaisedBedsCoffeeTalk.

February 19 – Native Grasses for New Jersey Landscapes. Register here: tinyurl. com/NativeGrassCoffeeTalk.

February 26 – Natural Born Killers, Body Snatchers, and the Crawling Dead: A Mind-Blowing Look at Beneficial Insects. Register here: tinyurl.com/Beneficial

–Photo courtesy Girl Scouts of Advertising and Marketing, Causeway Family of Dealerships. “This van was donated to us by the United Way of Ocean and Monmouth Counties with the understanding that Causeway would recondition and repair the van and donate to GSJS. The van was available because Causeway had donated two vans to United Way previously this year. Those two vans were in part donated

by Meals on Wheels. One act of kindness triggered many others in turn.”
