How Well Do You Know Howell History?

Monmouth County Fair Returns For Family Fun

By Mark Bator HOWELL – Many residents of Howell may know that the township’s approximate geographic size (61 square miles) makes it the largest town in Monmouth County. But do the 52,000 residents that live in the 18,000 households in Howell know the history of the township’s origin, or that human occupation of the region extends back thousands of years?

The task of knowing all about the township’s long, rich history falls to the Howell Heritage and Historical Society (H.H.H.S.), whose headquarters may be found at the MacKenzie House on Lakewood Farmingdale Road. The property, which was rumored to be earmarked for destruction by the town, drew the

Tons Of Debris Removed In Area Clean-ups

By Chris Lundy MONMOUTH COUNTY – Construction debris, household garbage, and more were removed from forests and shores as part of the Barnegat Bay Blitz.

The clean-ups took place over several days. In one area of protected open space, crews from the State Department of Environmental Protection, Ocean County Parks, and the Public Works departments from Toms River and Berkeley collected three, 30-yard

containers of trash and debris.

In another location, Toms River Public Works, Ocean County Parks, the DEP and Veolia (formerly Suez water) were out and about. They also had more than a thousand kids cleaning up their school grounds, parks, and beaches in Toms River, Barnegat, Little Egg Harbor, Surf City, Beachwood, and Pine Beach.

I n the Plu msted /Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area, crews collected 10 bags of garbage. The bags

were transported out with the help of alpacas. Other locations included Allaire Park in Wall and Great Bay Boulevard in Little Egg Harbor.

The clean-ups were part of the Barnegat Bay Blitz, an event started by the DEP in 2011, said Karen Walzer, Public Outreach Coordinator for the Barnegat Bay Partnership, which is the group that took the lead on organizing the blitz since 2019.

History:

Continued From Page 1 attention of local history enthusiasts who saw the cultural importance of the house, which was built in 1807. The foundation moved to be incorporated as a 501c3 organization in 2019, and after making appeals to the governing body at council meetings, the property was granted to them by Howell Township.

Under the direction of the Society’s president, Robert Novak, and its vice president, Ann Malsbury, the H.H.H.S. seeks to “collect and preserve materials related to Howell Township’s cultural and historical heritage,” and “promote the study of local and regional history through educational programs and events.”

“In general terms,” says Malsbury, “if you don’t know where you been, you don’t know where you’re going. You repeat past

mistakes if you don’t study history. [Howell has] such a rich history that it’s interesting.”

Meeting in the gym at the Ardena Baptist Church on the fourth Friday of each month, the group, composed of approximately 60 members, is “always” looking for new members, according to Malsbury.

The township known as “Howell” today came from a somewhat lengthy process, having been part of greater Shrewsbury for the early part of its existence. When it

split from Shrewsbury in the early 1800s, its southern border extended into what is now Ocean County, and as far east as the Atlantic Ocean.

Howell remained a massive town until the 1850s, when it again split up to become Wall Township, with its southern parts being annexed to join the newly formed Ocean County. The final splits came in the Twentieth Century, when other sections of the town joined Lakewood and formed Farmingdale.

The town is named for Richard Howell, who is best known for serving as the third governor of New Jersey from 1792 to 1801. Howell was one of twin sons born in Delaware in 1754 to parents Ebenezer and Sarah Howell.

While many people are familiar with the Boston Tea Party, far fewer are aware that New Jersey had its own version of a similar event. Dubbed the Greenwich Tea Party, the Howell brothers were two of the men who dressed as Native Americans and burned British tea at a small coastal town in Cumberland County.

Howell served as an officer in the Colonial Army under George Washington, and fought locally at the victorious Battle of Monmouth. Howell even served alongside Washington at Valley Forge and shortly thereafter married Keziah Burr, a relative of Aaron Burr.

“The militia would have been men who were ready to fight,” says Malsbury about Howell’s role during the American Revolution. “They might be gone for a couple months at a time, and then they would be relieved to come home to their farm duties and somebody else would [go]. But if they needed, like the battle of Monmouth, they would have called on the militia, and people from Howell would have gone.”

But long before any of this took place the region was inhabited by Native American people known as the Lenni Lenape. Many of the Lenape trails became roads in modern Howell, including Route 33 and U.S. Highway 9.

“They apparently figured out the shortest route between important spots” says Novak about the trails forged by the Lenni Lenape, “and we just kind of followed along.”

The era of colonialism saw settlements

by Quakers, who became prominent in the region. Malsbury, who traces her family’s roots to the 1500s in Howell, has a number of relatives buried in a small, secluded (History - See Page 3)

rumored to frequent.

Cranberry production was one of HowContinued From Page 2 ell’s earliest industries. While agriculture Quaker cemeter y just off Lakewood remains a constant in Howell to this day, early commerce centered around the Farmingdale Road.

While other shore towns may boast stories mining of a substance called marl, which of swashbuckling pirates who terrorized Novak explained would be extracted from the coastline, Howell has the Pine Robbers. the ground to be used as “an inexpensive “They were the backwoods ruffians,” fertilizer. Farmers tossed this on their fields says Novak about the Pine Robbers, who and it would break down and kind of find its would rob and murder farm families in way into the fields to help the crops grow.”

Of course, one of the more famous industries the late 1700s. Led by Jacob Fagan and Lewis Fenton, the Pine Robbers lived in in town was the Howell Iron Works, and the the woods and operated in the area near tiny village that sprung up around the business the Our House Tavern, which they were owned by entrepreneur James P. Allaire.

But by the time of the Civil War, these three early industries had ceased, and once again, Howell Township residents were involved with America’s bloodiest war. While no battles were actually fought in New Jersey, one of the past owners of the MacKenzie House, William Prickett, served as a captain during the Civil War. In addition, Howell locals would have fought in the Civil War, with many of them likely stationed in the area around present-day Freehold.

In 1907, Arthur Brisbane purchased some 5,000 acres in Howell to open a Preventorium for the treatment of children suffering from tuberculosis. While township residents may recognize the name Preventorium as a roadway in town, many will be surprised to learn that the hospital operated from 1912 A two-seater outhouse would made for a much to 1960 at the site of what would later more social time when nature called at the become the town hall.

In addition to the MacKenzie House, the H.H.H.S. also operates and maintains the historic Ardena Schoolhouse. But while having and preserving vital pieces of Howell’s past is important, the structures do require a good deal of upkeep.

ant on charitable donations from Howell residents or history buffs. At present, the renovations that are required at the McKenzie House are estimated to be in excess of $20,000, so the much-needed work has been moving along at a snail’s pace.

“The building needs so much [work] cosmetics are going to have to wait,” says Malsbury of the structural needs of the MacKenzie House. “But as far as our museum goes, [there’s] a rich history of the house and that will be our focus when we can finally get it up and going.”

“The Barnegat Bay Blitz brings volunteers together with one goal in mind – removing litter to keep the land and water in the Barnegat Bay watershed (land area that drains to the bay) clean.”

Victims Identified In Fatal Multi-Car Crash In Freehold

By Alyssa Riccardi FREEHOLD – Authorities have released the identities of the now three victims whose lives were claimed in a multi-car crash that took place Sunday afternoon in Freehold Township.

The crash occurred around 1:28 p.m. near the intersection of Route 9 South southbound and Route 33 westbound.

According to police, a 74-year-old female from Manalapan was travelling southbound on Route 9 when she side-swiped a 2015 black Lexus RX350, and then side-swiped a white 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, before rear-ending a 2017 black Honda CR-V. The black Honda CR-V then rear-ended a 2009 purple Scion TC, police said.

As a result of the crash, a 52-year-old female passenger in the Honda CR-V was pronounced deceased at the scene. A second passenger, 61-year-old male also of Marlboro, succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital.

The 21-year-old Marlboro driver of the Honda CR-V was sent to a local hospital in critical condition.

The driver of the Lexus was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. Other drivers and passengers sought medical attention for minor injuries, police said.

On July 6, the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office announced that a third fatality resulted from the crash. The driver of the Honda CR-V succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced at 1:45 p.m. on July 5.

The identifications of the three deceased victims are as follows: Mark M. Salib, 21, of Marlboro Masoud B. Salib, 61 of Marlboro Hanaa I. Salib, 52 of Marlboro At this time, the crash remains under investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, Monmouth County SCART and the Freehold Township Police Department.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information to assist the investigative team is urged to contact Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Nicolas Logothetis at 800-533-7443, or Freehold Township Police Department Patrolman Justin Nunno at 732-462-7908.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY e DitoriAl Responses To Letters We’ve had several responses to letters that we’ve published recently.

That shows our letters are getting people thinking, and that’s great.

Sometimes, we’ll run

the responses, particularly if they add to the conversation. I like it when residents have thoughtful takes on topics. I especially like it when they are local issues.

You might notice that

sometimes the previous letter writer is mentioned by name and sometimes they aren’t. That’s because of my editing. A few years back, a writer was upset that another person called them out by name in an angry letter. The injured party said it would be better if we hadn’t published his name

with the angry rebuttal. I figured that was fair. So now, whenever someone writes a glowing letter, the previous writer’s name is included. If they write an angry letter, the previous writer’s name is cut.

I don’t want it to become a back and forth, when two people start arguing in the

letters page. This isn’t what this is supposed to be about.

Angry responses don’t necessarily run. I’m more likely to run a compliment and put a little more positivity into the world. Sometimes, I get a letter that’s just insulting someone.

Those don’t get published.

If you want to see that

kind of argument, go to Facebook.

But if you want to have thoughtful and emotional conversation about issues that impact you, then read the letters section of your local newspaper.

Letters To The Editor A Larger Supreme Court Would Be Unbalanced Editor’s note: This letter is a response to “Expand The Supreme Court.”

In rebuttal to the letter of July 2, 2022, in support of expanding the Supreme Court, I would like to put forward a differing opinion.

The recent decision by SCOTUS regarding abortion has rekindled the desire among many Democrats to expand, or “pack-the-court” with additional justices, presumably liberal in nature, so as to “balance,” or even tilt the court to a more liberal bias. Liberals have historically looked to SCOTUS to legislate from the bench when they find it difficult or impossible to make law through Congress, as the Founders had intended.

There is a reason why our Republic was set up with three separate and equally powerful branches – Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

The checks and balances

inherent in this arrangement presumably prevent any one branch from becoming as powerful as to preclude the others from exercising their particular powers. The Supreme Court was not created to make law. If it were, it would be part of the legislative branch, which it is not.

The job of the Supreme Court is to adjudicate over legal discrepancies according to constitutional law, not create law.

When SCOTUS ruled on June 24, it did not ban abortion. It returned the question of abortion back to the states, as is consistent with a Republic. Any federal laws, no matter the subject, should be codified by Congress, and then passed on to the President for approval or veto.

The letter writer urges “Congress to pass the Judiciary Act” of 2021 to add four new seats to the Court. Under the current administration, this would not balance the Court. It would tilt the Court to favor liberal doctrine. The likelihood of Congress voting favorably for expansion of the

Court is highly questionable.

There are Democrats who realize the folly of this. The number of Supreme Court Justices has been changed seven times in our history, each time for partisan political reasons. It is just as easily changed back when an opposing administration takes over. It is not a lasting solution.

If we as a people, as a nation, wish to legalize abortion, then that law must be codified by Congress. Democrats realize this will not happen.

The votes are not there. This is why liberals need the Supreme Court to legislate from the bench, because they cannot get this law through Congress.

I am not qualified to express an opinion on abortion. I will never become pregnant, and I would never try and “Mansplain” to any woman how she should think on the subject.

But I am an American citizen, and I do have an opinion as to how our government works, and on how our laws are derived.

When Politics Became More Important Than Principles I shall not be alive much longer. I’ve had enough time in this world!

Let me tell you why I do not dread leaving this place.

I’ve always believed that the USA was the greatest nation on earth. This may or may not be true; but it was the underlying per-

ception providing me with confidence that America was especially blessed and, although never perfect, capable of self-correction and self-improvement.

The Preamble of our Constitution commences with WE THE PEOPLE. This little masterpiece explains the purposes of our founding document, a Constitution totally new to the world in its day.

To establish a more perfect union; to establish justice; to ensure domestic tranquility; to provide for the national defense; to ensure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our prosperity…etc.!

Alas! What has become of this venture dedicated to the common good of all citizens?

I’ll tell you. We’ve resumed our disastrous Civil War! The Republican Party was in those days on the right side of history, against the barbarism of slavery, upon which the southern states’ economy was based. Slaves were very valuable commodities, not even human!

There have been exceptional Republican presidents and Congress(wo)men in the past, but I am full of dread and remorse at what has become of the Republican Party!

When thugs assault the very center and symbol of our democracy, incited and encouraged by numerous Republican members of Congress in perverse loyalty to a former demigod-president of questionable loyalties, I mourn the death of that Preamble and of the Constitution itself!

And these many Republi-

Biden Solved The Baby Formula Shortage I am taking this time to give a much-delayed shout out to show support for Joe Biden for fixing the baby formula shortage.

That might seem like ancient history right now, and it’s because of his hard work.

He reopened a production facility, used the Defense Production Act to increase supply, and cut a bunch of red tape to get the job done.

There was a problem – a huge problem – and his administration solved it.

What Will The Press Make Of Sarah Palin?

Before Donald Trump was the subject of media torture lasting years like we have never seen before, Sarah Palin lived through that type of hell when she was John McCain’s running mate for the presidency.

Sarah is now saying “I am back,” and she is running for Alaska’s House seat this fall.

I watched what Sarah lived through, and I was thrilled she made a whole bunch of money after that political insanity by writing books etc., and she is making a comeback after monetizing her popularity. Good for her.

But, is she forgotten when time comes to campaigning for the House seat, or is she going to “go through Sarah Palin haters hell” again?

The Tr ump haters, of course, are also Sarah Palin haters. Do they have enough energy to split their time between the other candidates supported by Trump, and Sarah, or will they give Sarah a pass?

People who chronicle elections will have a doozy to write about in the fall, from this viewpoint, even though this upcoming election will focus on many other really serious life changing issues.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Summer Events Hit Their Stride In July From The Desk Of The

Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone Happy July, Monmouth County! With the summer season now in full swing, I would like to take the time to provide an update on a few events and happenings in our area.

I’d like to wish everyone a belated Happy Fourth of July. Moreover, I’d like to thank all those who have served our great nation and protected our freedom. Your service and commitment is truly appreciated.

To celebrate the holiday, I participated in the annual Independence Day Parade in Ocean Grove – yet another great tradition that brings out families and friends.

It’s always great to see all the smiling faces along the parade route.

Additionally, like to thank the City of Long Branch for hosting another successful Oceanfest on the Fourth of July. I had the chance to stop by in the afternoon and I can tell you personally it was packed! It’s always great to see families taking advantage of all our County has to offer, which brings me to my next point – business.

Our businesses have been reaping the benefits of another successful summer tourism season. The beaches and boardwalks are packed and we’re hearing businesses are doing well. I’m confident our business community will continue to report good news and I look forward to hearing as much.

On another note, my fellow Commissioners and I announced that 93 nonprofit

organizations, located in the County, are being awarded grants in the total amount of $24,285,519.49 through the Monmouth County American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) COVID-19 Community Recovery Grant Program.

The Monmouth County Board of Commissioners approved the grants at our regular meeting held on July 7.

We are thrilled to be able to support our nonprofit organizations that are true community partners and help make Monmouth County an incredible place to live, work and raise a family. These nonprofits serve our veterans, combat food insecurity, provide animal welfare services, offer mental health services, support the special needs community and help promote and preserve art, historical and cultural resources.

Each nonprofit organization was eligible to receive up to $500,000 in funding for expenses and/or lost revenue during the

pandemic. Nonprofits could also apply for funding for enhanced programs and services related to pandemic recovery.

To date, the county has utilized almost $150 million in federal funding to assist our residents including small businesses, non-profits, municipalities, renters, and landlords.

The press conference was live-streamed on the Monmouth County Government’s Facebook and YouTube Channel.

Lastly, I want to remind everyone that the Annual Monmouth County Fair kicks off Wednesday, July 27th and will run through Sunday, July 31st! The Monmouth County Fair offers thrilling rides, live entertainment, pie eating contests, historic and garden tents and so much more! There is truly something for everyone so be sure to stop by for a fun filled day!

As always, it is a pleasure to serve as Commissioner Director.

Bill Would Make It Easier To Find School Bus Drivers Capitol Comments Senator Robert W. Singer 30th Legislative District

TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer that would help remedy the ongoing shortage of qualified school bus drivers was endorsed by the Senate Transportation Committee.

S i n g e r ’s m e a s u r e , S-1682/S-2152, would allow drivers to transport students in Type S school buses that can accommodate up to nine passengers without requiring commercial driver’s licenses.

“Under this bill, short-handed school districts and transportation companies could free up drivers with CDL licenses to handle larger buses and more students,” said Singer (R-30th). “Schools have an on-

going need to move small groups or lone students to lessons or events. It makes sense to allow safe drivers with good, clean driving records to take the wheel of smaller Type S-classified vehicles that do not require the special skills of CDL training.”

Since the pandemic, districts have been struggling with an ongoing shortage of school bus drivers. This bill is one of several legislative solutions proposed by Senator Singer.

“The shortage isn’t specific to New Jer-

sey, it is a national problem. We have to take immediate steps to ensure efficient, safe student transportation,” Singer said, noting that a meeting with school administrators from Howell convinced him legislative action was needed.

In addition to this bill, Singer also sponsors S-2153, that would reduce the time it takes to earn a CDL with the additional “S” endorsement required to drive school buses. Under the measure, schools would be authorized to administer the CDL exam and other services.

$17.5 Million Will Feed Families, Support Restaurants From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) announced plans to award grants totaling $17.5 million to 30 nonprofit organizations through Phase 3 of its successful Sustain & Serve NJ program. Sustain & Serve NJ provides eligible entities with grants to support the purchase of meals from New Jersey restaurants that have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and the distribution of those meals at no cost to recipients. The additional $17.5 million in awards announced recently brings total program funding to $52.5 million.

Sustain & Serve NJ launched during the

pandemic as a $2 million pilot program to boost restaurants impacted by COVID and has grown into an over $50 million program that continues t o br i ng much-ne e de d food to people across New Jersey. Since Febr uar y 2021, Sustain & Serve NJ has already supported the purchase of more than 3.5 million meals from over 400 restaurants in all 21 counties with grants totaling $35 million.

Phase 3 of Sustain & Serve NJ is funded by $10 million allocated by Governor Phil Murphy from the federal American Rescue Plan and approximately $7.5 million in State funding. Funding from this latest phase is expected to support the purchase of an additional 1.5 million meals.

“Sustain & Serve NJ has become a national model for addressing food insecurity, supporting small businesses that are the heartbeat of our downtowns,

and providing funding to the nonprofit entities that deliver vital services,” said Lt. Governor Sheila Y. Oliver. “Combatting hunger remains a top priority and it is more critical than ever that nonprofits have the resources they need to feed the people within their communities.”

“Throughout the pandemic, Governor Murphy has challenged us to employ innovative methods for supporting businesses, nonprofits, and New Jerseyans in need and Sustain & Serve NJ has been a tremendous asset in helping us meet that goal,” said NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan. “We have an obligation to aid our fellow New Jerseyans who face food insecurity every single day.

Nonprofit organizations and restaurants are critical allies in that mission and supporting them is an important part of our commitment to eradicating hunger, creating jobs, and fueling the economic growth and security of our state.”

Sullivan noted that Sustain & Serve NJ is a key part of the NJEDA’s efforts

to strengthen the economic security of all New Jerseyans. The Authority is putting forth a multi-pronged strategy to eliminate food deserts within the state and to bolster the child care sector, an industry whose critical importance was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The NJEDA is also working with partners statewide to create a Maternal and Infant Health Innovation Center in Trenton as part of First Lady Tammy Murphy’s Nurture NJ initiative to make New Jersey the safest and most equitable place to give birth in the country.

“Real economic prosperity can only be achieved when everyone’s needs are being addressed, including the most basic need for food security,” said NJEDA’s Executive Vice President of Economic Security Tara Colton. “Sustain & Serve NJ grantees are extraordinary nonprofit organizations who are committed to feeding their neighbors and supporting their com munities with respect and dignity.”

Howell Alliance Hosts Youth Mental Health 1st Aid Training

HOWELL – On August 13 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the Howell Alliance for substance use prevention and mental health awareness is hosting a Youth Mental Health First Aid certification training at the Howell Township Municipal Building, 4567 Route 9 North, 2nd floor, in Howell.

Youth Mental Health First Aid has two aims: To teach adults who regularly interact with youth and young adults how to recognize and respond in a mental health or substance use emergency and how to offer support to a young person who appears to be in emotional distress. These adults can be parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, first responders, law enforcement, health and human services workers, peers, neighbors, or other caring citizens.

Although one in five Americans has a mental illness, people of all ages are reluctant to seek help due to fear of stigmas or might not know where to turn for care.

Unlike physical conditions, symptoms of mental health and substance use problems can be difficult to detect, and for friends and family members, it can be hard to know when and how to step in. As a result, those in need of mental health services often do not get them until it is too late.

Just as CPR empowers those without clinical training to assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to confidently interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders

learn a five-step action plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support.

In just 10 years, Mental Health First Aid has become a full-blown movement in the United States - more than one million people are certified Mental Health First Aiders, and that number is growing every day. This will be the 8th Mental Health First Aid sponsored or hosted by the Howell Alliance; to date, over 90 community members and professionals have been certified through Howell Alliance-sponsored trainings.

To register for the Howell Alliance-hosted Youth Mental Health First Aid training on August 13, visit Eventbrite at eventbrite. com/e/370859018307.

Participants will need to bring their own food and drinks. A free water cooler and cash-only snack vending machine are on location.

For event information, contact Christa Riddle, Alliance coordinator at criddle@ twp.howell.nj.us or 732-938-4500 ext.

4012. For more information on Mental Health or Youth Mental Health First Aid trainings, contact Marni Elson-Victor, certified Mental Health First Aid trainer, at melsonvictor@yahoo.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law If You Are A Victim Of An Accident Michael J. Deem, Esq. Or Other Incident, Remember Social Media Is Not Your Friend By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Once an injury claim is reported to an insurance company their number one priority is to stop the bleeding. Not your bleeding; their bleeding! The primary concern of any insurance company is to find a way to not pay your claim, so you will be immediately investigated.

What Do Insurance Adjusters Look For After A Claim Is Filed?

A personal injury claim is built on evidence. While your lawyer is compiling evidence to support your claim, the insurance adjuster on the other side is looking for ways to undermine it.

Beware of prying eyes. Your social media accounts are full of tidbits — even your most innocent posts, photos, or those you are tagged in — can be woven together and used against you. Even posts made by your family and friends are fair game for an aggressive adjuster. Even if all your social media accounts are protected with the strictest privacy controls, sometimes harmful information finds its way into the hands of the adjuster. It’s used as evidence to reduce their financial exposure or, worse yet, to prevent you from receiving any compensation at all.

Adjusters look for the weakest link. If they sense you lack self-control, they may try to friend you on Facebook or follow you on Instagram. They also may try to buddy up to your friends to get insider information about you and the accident.

Even your posts on dating sites can be mined and used against you.

What to Do on Social Media After a Car Accident Avoid doing anything on social media that could hurt your claim. You only have one opportunity to get this right, so you should leave nothing to chance. Tell your friends to refrain from posting anything about you or tagging you in photos on social media — past, present, or future.

If you see the need to delete anything from your accounts, ask your attorney fi rst. It could be seen as an attempt to

destroy evidence.

What Not to Do on Social Media After a Car Accident Sharing information about your case on social media makes it public. You instantly give up any confidentiality protections.

The defense can subpoena it and use it against you. It’s best to post nothing.

For this reason, keep in mind the following: • Don’t reply to questions from your friends or family asking about how you’re feeling.

• Don’t post photos of yourself exercising or doing anything physical.

• Don’t post any medical information or anything from your attorney.

• Don’t post “check-ins.”

• Don’t accept “friend” or “follow” requests from people you don’t know.

• Don’t bad-mouth the insurance company.

• Don’t defend your actions during the accident.

• Don’t send texts or private messages.

• Don’t lie, especially about when events occurred. Everything online is timestamped and can be used against you.

Contact R.C. Shea & Associates If You Have Been Injured If you’re the victim of an accident then choosing the right personal injury lawyer is the most important decision you will make. At R.C. Shea & Associates, a firm with over 35 year of experience, a Certified Civil Trial Layer will handle your case. There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain by scheduling a free consultation.

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

The 3 Surprising Reasons Gastrin Should Be Measured

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. People talk of stomach problems and tummy aches, belching and pain. But some people have fatigue, or psychiatric issues. Often the blood testing work-up for these conditions does not include one important hormone called “gastrin” which I think should be measured.

Gastrin is a hormone produced in your stomach and duodenum and helps to digest food. When gastrin is elevated, it means that stomach acid production has declined.

If your stomach acid is low, then gastrin levels naturally rise. Gastrin comes to the rescue and says “Stomach cells, you need to make us more stomach acid.” Gastrin is important because it helps you to produce HCL, as in hydrochloric acid which is how you digest your meals.

Consumers have been taught to dislike stomach acid, but you shouldn’t. You need proper levels of stomach acid. And gastrin is a hormone that responds to the amount of stomach acid present in your stomach on any given day. If there’s not enough acid, gastrin will rise to stimulate acid production. By the way, the term hypochlorhydria is used for people with low stomach acid levels.

Measuring gastrin levels with a blood test is something that lends tremendous insight. High gastrin is often associated with hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) and may cause any of the following: • Belching • Flatulence immediately after eating • Bad breath • Heartburn • Fatigue • Frequent infections The reason these symptoms occur is

because a condition of hypochlorhydria means that you are no longer able to extract and absorb essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, B12, folate and protein. Regardless of the body’s weight, the cells are starving for nutrition due to the lack of these nutrients… which I’m saying could be due to the lack of acid. Supplements of betaine are often used. Work with a practitioner if you’d like to correct your acid levels with betaine. Don’t just take betaine because it will hurt you if you have normal or high stomach acid.

And now, for the three surprising reasons gastrin levels should be evaluated with a blood test: 1. You have chronic GI complaints such as flatulence right after eating, diarrhea, heartburn, reflux and early satiety which means you feel full quickly.

2. You have chronic fatigue which could mean you have anemia, or hypothyroidism.

3. If you have anxiety or psychiatric concerns. A negative mood has been associated with higher gastrin levels. It may be tied to increased adrenergic activity, but regardless of the cause, mood is definitely impacted by shifts in gastrin and this comes as a surprise to most practitioners.

Gastrin is a good hormone, it supports stomach health, and assists with small intestine and pancreatic function. It helps you metabolize all the food on your plate and extract critical life-sustaining minerals. But like any good thing, you want normal levels of gastrin.

They were both married with children when they fell in love, but they had to be together, no matter what. She was the ultimate mafia wife, but in other ways was so very different from women of her time. He was the most feared gangster in America, but she was not afraid, and when she was a woman scorned, she proved her courage and faced the mafia’s ultimate penalty for violating the southern Italian code of silence.

They lived in Monmouth County twice, which he loved, and she loathed. You don’t have to wait for HBO’s new mini-series to learn about Monmouth County’s most fascinating mob queen!

John Barrows, editor of MonmouthTime-

line.org, has been researching this for the past two years and will present the local perspective on Anna & Vito that you won’t get from HBO. Thinking of skipping this one? Fuhgeddaboudit!

Let us introduce you to this fictional town based on New Monmouth, Middletown in the 19th century.

The book describes Middletown life and locations, providing a fun and intimate time portal to the past. Don’t miss this chance to learn about Middletown life, 19th-century style!

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Summer Celebration Fundraiser For Shore Protection

SANDY HOOK – Drawing a sell-out crowd for the second consecutive year, The Jersey Shore Partnership Foundation hosted its 25th Annual Summer Celebration on June 13, at Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook to raise money for shore protection.

The huge open-tent event featured shore restaurants’ favorite cuisines and seafood donated by coastal fisheries. Guests were entertained by live music from Brian Kirk and the Jirks, who kept the crowd of over 500 dancing throughout the evening.

According to Chairman John Gagliano, the Summer Celebration brings together corporations, businesses, environmentalists, not-for-profits and other shore-loving people who support the need to protect our beaches and fragile coastline.

“We’re so thrilled this event grows bigger and stronger each year, and so does the need to protect our beautiful beaches and coastal communities,” said Gagliano.

“It’s gratifying to see so many friends, community leaders, and businesses from up and down the state come together every year to raise money for shore protection.”

Executive Director Grace Hanlon said,

“The Summer Celebration is the unofficial kick-off to summer fun at the Jersey Shore, but it’s also an important reminder of how vital the beaches are, our fi rst line of defense protecting businesses, homes & infrastructure along the shoreline. We are so grateful to our honorees for their efforts to help us protect the Jersey shore.”

The highlight of the evening was an awards program honoring outstanding individuals/organizations that support the Partnership’s mission to preserve and protect our coastline and contribute to the economy and the quality of life at the Jersey Shore and the entire State. This year’s Dinner Chairs were Frank and Valerie Montecalvo of Bayshore/Montecalvo Family of Companies and Honorary Dinner Chairs were Senator Joe and Susan Kyrillos.

The honorees of the night were Governor Phil and Tammy Murphy; Vito Cardinale from Adventure Crossing USA; Shore Point Distributors; Borough of Avalon Mayor Martin and Lynda Palughi, and Ben Waldron of Monmouth Ocean Development Council.

Tips On Open Burning And Recreational Burning

HOWELL – With the weather getting nicer, there have had several issues in town and multiple questions regarding open burning and recreational burning. The Howell Township Fire Bureau would like to break it all down for you and clear up any questions regarding this issue.

Recreational fires are permitted in fire pits (store bought or paver block) in three feet in diameter or smaller and having a grate covering without a permit providing they are for recreational purposes only. No burning of yard debris or construction material is permitted at any time.

Camp fires are permitted within a ring around the fire (stone or metal) with a permit issued by a NJ Forest Fire District Warden at no charge.

Bon fires are permitted with a permit issued by a NJ Forest Fire Section Warden with a fee and also requires a permit issued by The NJ

Division of Fire Safety with a separate fee.

Agricultural debris burning is permitted and requires a permit issued by the NJ Forest Fire Section Warden with a fee ranging on the length of time the permit is issued for.

If the Fire Department is notified of a fire in town, they have to respond and will assess the situation when they arrive to verify that the burning is in compliance with the NJ State statue. They may ask a resident to extinguish a fire if the burning is taking place on a high-risk wildfire days, if smoke is causing a nuisance to neighbors or if burning is in danger of causing a wildfire.

If you have further questions, you can contact the Bureau of Fire Prevention Office at 732-938-4500 ext. 2900. To obtain a required burning permit you can contact the New Jersey Forest Fire Service’s New Lisbon office at 609-726-1210.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 16 - june 22

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): An unexpected phone call may bring good news or clarity, and someone might intrigue you by sharing an array of romantic notions in the upcoming week. Cut through the parts that don’t feel relevant; embrace what does.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Let romance take a backseat to fact-finding in the week ahead. You may be accustomed to harmonious relationships, but it takes two to make that a reality. Remember your opinion is just one of many.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be tempted to roam too far for love. Don’t form any romantic attachments based on mere infatuation in the week ahead. You will fit in much better with good friends or a discussion group.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can deftly navigate the gap between fact and fiction, so shine your light when you have a chance to explore inspiring ideas in the upcoming week.

Capitalize on your ability to present yourself with confidence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may spend more time than usual with friends or in your inner world. Displaying self-discipline and organizational skills could put you at the head of the pack by the end of the week. Meet deadlines promptly to hold your own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your friendliness can dial your popularity up a notch. You may need to be more discriminating about your tribe in the upcoming week. Someone who wants to get closer might not be who you think they are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let someone new become the center of your life when you are just an option in theirs. You can handle workplace situations in an imaginative way, but some people may misunderstand your intentions this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trying to get over on someone always returns in kind, so a cooperative approach is a better choice. You may be more satisfied as the week unfolds if you make your own way, keep your feet on the ground and perform diligent research.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Circulate and meet new people, but don’t attach too much meaning to someone’s innocent flirtation. Stay at a safe distance from new contacts and avoid steamy romantic encounters in the week to come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can give up or give it all you’ve got. Map out strategies to keep your money safe or to keep your business in the black as this week unfolds. Avoiding waste is always a sound business practice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do a reality check before you whip out a credit card in the week ahead. Be sure to ask for advice from trusted advisers before you make a major purchase or investment. You may end up with extra duties.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your desire for romantic encounters could distract you from concrete accomplishments in the week ahead. You could fall behind or experience some awkward moments if you indulge in too many fantasies.
