Authorities Share R esources On Domestic Violence

By Stephanie Faughnan HOWELL – As we say goodbye to October, it’s important to note its designation as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Awareness comes with the provision of some valuable resources offered by local authorities.

New Jersey laws cite 19 predicate

acts of domestic violence, which all relate to sections of the state’s criminal laws. The list includes non-physical acts such as harassment in person, by phone, email, and text. Cyber harassment can be yet another form of domestic violence.

People who feel they are domestic violence victims seek protection from law

enforcement authorities and the courts.

At some point, a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) may be necessary – with the ultimate goal of turning it into a final restraining order (“FRO”).

Both types of restraining orders are intended to keep people out of bad situations. Only certain types of (Resources - See Page 7)

Candidates Voice Their Concerns In Howell School Board Race

By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – Several candidates are competing for seats on the Howell Board of Education and the Farmingdale Board of Education in the November election.

Additionally, there are also representatives who are looking to fill seats for Freehold Regional High School Board of Education.

School board races are supposed to be nonpartisan, so the candidates aren’t referred to by their political party. Instead, they are allowed to have a short slogan after their name.

A total of five candidates have filed for three, full-term seats on the Howell Township Board of Education. Two current members who are seeking re-election are Laurence Gurman and Cristy Mangano. Two other candidates fighting for a seat are Alexandria Langenberger and Joseph Mauer Jr. Mangano is a full time Registered Nurse with certification as a Forensic Nurse Examiner. She’s a mother of five children who all are a part of the Howell School District.

She’s served on Howell Township Board of Education since 2017.

“I have been the Community Interaction Chairperson for the last two years serving during one of the most difficult times we have witnessed in education. This has given me the opportunity to meet parents, children, guardians, staff and be able to have open dialogue with what is going on within our schools and what concerns there are. I have also served on various committees over the years such as the policy committee, operations and Township Liaison. Being able to serve on these committees has given me a lot of experience in different areas of the board of education,” Mangano said.

Mangano explained how she believes that there are many challenges facing school districts today.

“I think first we have to deal with the aftermath of what COVID did to our educational system and how to focus on getting the children back on track academically, socially (Candidates - See Page 5)

Grants:

Continued From Page 1 when the starting pistol went off. While some took more of a leisurely approach, others were clearly planning on making it first to the finish line.

Exact times were not available, however, the winners in the men’s division were listed in the following order: Kedar Nair, Sebastian Bihunian, and Jared Rumagl.

Competitors in the women’s division placed as follows: Erin Cutillo, Danielle Gianelos, and Denise Holtz.

Mascots from each of the local district’s K-8 schools also had a great deal of fun as they giggled over the finish line in a 300yard race.

Valerie Rosenberg said she was part of the Howell Education Foundation when it

first began in 2005. The idea for putting together the Race to Educate began in 2013 and was intended to be an annual event. Unfortunately, event organizers didn’t run the race for a couple of years due to COVID-19 restrictions.

“This is our biggest fundraiser,” shared Rosenberg. “We raised $11,000 with this alone, which we will give as grants to classroom teachers for next year’s school year.”

Each year, the Foundation strives to raise between $12,000 and $15,000 and invites teachers to apply for $1,000 grants to further the education of Howell students.

“For the 2022-2023 school year, we received a generous donation of $3,000 from one person,” Rosenberg said. “We’re hoping we can come close to the $15,000 award for next year with additional donations. We sell bricks that are installed in the school

and donations are sometimes made as memorials.”

Not everyone who attended the Race to Educate put on running shoes to compete in the race. Diane Vistein, who teaches Science and Social Studies at Middle School North, came to help with the logistics of the event. She also recruited a few of her students who were looking for volunteer hours.

“The money goes to actual education grants,” said Vistein. “It all goes back to the classrooms and it’s something we all appreciate.”

Rosenberg, who served as a member of the Howell Township school board for 12 years, said she sees the grants as a good way to give back to the students and teachers.

They’ve also resulted in the adoption of a number of programs.

Some teachers have used their portion of

the grant money to encourage independent reading by setting up mini libraries in their classrooms. A number of the grants have been used to enhance STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning experiences.

“One of our teachers used her grant to purchase tadpoles,” shared Rosenberg. “The kids watched as they grew into frogs and eventually released them in the Manasquan Reservoir.”

Use of this year’s grants money in some of the classrooms appeared reflective of postCOVID issues. In order to help students deal with the stress encountered in the last couple of years, teachers used grant money for things like mindfulness experiences.

Community support for this year’s Race to Educate appeared to be one of the biggest winners for teachers in the classroom.

Monmouth County Man Sentenced In $50M Lending Scheme

By Alyssa Riccardi OCEANPORT – A man has been sentenced to 63 months in prison for defrauding lenders of $50 million dollars with a decade-long invoice factoring scheme, officials said.

Vincent Galano, 60, previously pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud.

According to officials, “accounts receivable factoring, also known as invoice financing (factoring), is a financial transaction through which a company obtains cash by selling its unpaid invoices, ordinarily at a discount, to a factor. Factoring clients send their debtors notices of assignment naming the factor as

the assignee of the debt owed on the invoices.

The factor collects invoiced amounts owed by the clients’ debtors and, upon collection of the entire invoiced amount, pays its clients the balance of the invoice, deducting the factor’s fees.”

In 1996, Galano created PF Funding LLC (PF Funding) to factor accounts from various clients. In 2007, PF Funding entered into a secured lending relationship with a single purpose entity created to finance PF Funding’s factoring business. Afterwards, the factoring lender established a line of credit in order to provide capital growth.

Officials said PF Funding grew its factoring business over the next several years by drawing from the line of credit while maintaining as current its loan obligations to the factoring lender.

In 2011, Galano purchased a large number of invoices which he was unable to collect the debt owed on the receivables. Subsequently, Galano concealed the debt from the factoring lender. He mischaracterized invoices that had already been paid and collected as outstanding and capable of being factored, essentially double-counting them, officials said. Galano also manipulated the overall value of PF Funding’s

portfolio of outstanding invoices.

Repeating this for over a decade, PF Funding had ultimately defaulted under its loan obligations, owing approximately $50 million to its lenders by 2020.

In 2020, Galano admitted over a phone call that he had concealed significant losses suffered by PF Funding over many years. He also admitted to fabricating reports that overstated the number and value of outstanding invoices.

Along with his prison term of 63 months, Galano was sentenced to two years of supervised release and ordered to pay restitution of $50 million.

Candidates:

Continued From Page 1 and emotionally. We need to make sure our teachers and staff are supported as well during these difficult times. I think as a district we are prepared to offer students, teachers and staff with as much support as they require. I feel this is one of our biggest priorities right now and as a BOE member I would make sure that steps are being taken to do this,” Mangano said. “We in Howell will be facing budget cuts coming to us over the next few years. We have been very fiscally responsible over the years and as a board member I would continue to be aware of those budget cuts and work hard to benefit not only the children but the taxpayers as well. We also have the issue of school safety and Howell is a leader in this area and always being proactive in maintaining the safety of our children and staff.”

Mangano also added, “I have been blessed to be a part of an amazing school district and have my children attend Howell Schools. We lead in so many areas and I would like to continue to see the district work hard in the area of social emotional learning for all students.

Times have changed so much and we really need to be aware of all the influences our children face today.”

Gurman previously taught at Monmouth College (now Monmouth University), and worked for the Office of Legislative Services for 41 years. There, he would serve in a non-partisan capacity, analyzing policy issues, drafting legislation, and assisting legislators as bills proceeded through the legislative process.

The Howell Times, November 5, 2022, Page 5 Gurman has served on the board for nine years during a previous tenure. During that time, he was Board Vice-President for one year and at times was a member of the Education Committee, Finance Committee, Policy Committee, Community Relations Committee and Nutrition Committee. He also chaired the Education, Finance and Policy Committees.

Gurman was the Chairman of the Howell Township Education Foundation for four years. In 2015, he was selected as Howell Township Citizen of the Year by the Howell Chamber of Commerce.

During his current tenure, he was elected again to the board in 2016. During that time, he’s also been a member of various committees including the Education Committee, Community Interaction Committee, Policy Committee and Legislative Advocacy Committee, and, at times, chairing the Policy and Legislative Advocacy Committees.

“Working together, we can continue our commitment to promoting excellence in our schools. My goals are to provide a quality education for all the children in our schools; use our tax dollars for education wisely and efficiently; and encourage community participation and support for the educational process to provide our youth, who are our community’s and nation’s most precious resource, with the opportunity to develop to their full potential,” he said.

Gurman also believes that current educational objectives should continue to be pursued and enhanced. This includes fostering learning environments that emphasize personalized learning, student empowerment and standards

aligned student growth; sustaining a positive culture of learning while supporting the social and emotional needs of all members of our school community; and transforming educational settings through the use of technology to foster positive learning environments.

“The school district’s responsible fiscal policies should be continued by promoting existing practices, such as energy savings programs, shared services agreements, central purchasing, inventory controls and long-term financial planning. This work is particularly crucial because of the State’s change to the school funding formula, commonly known as S-2. In 2009, the Howell Township School District received $36 million in state aid.

By 2025, it is anticipated that according to the current state funding formula the school district will receive $16 million for the year, $20 million less for the year than it received in 2009,” Gurman added.

Langenberger is a stay-at-home mother with three children and also is the sole proprietor of Monmouth County Doula, LLC, where she provides support, education and empowerment for pregnant women as a birth coach and doula. Additionally, she is a founding member of Sister Circle, which is a local group dedicated to strengthening the individual through collaboration and networking.

Langenberger stated that running for a seat on the Board of Education is her first volunteer opportunity to serve the community, “and to protect the childhood of my children and those of Howell Township by ensuring political agendas are not prioritized over safeguarding our children’s futures.”

When asked what is the biggest issues facing the district, she said, “While superficially there exists a collaboration between administration and the Board, the disconnect exists in the filter of communication between them.

While the Board annually creates and amends district policy with the assistance of dedicated community committee members, the impact of such changes in the classroom are often filtered through the lens of success regardless of the tangible outcome. It is time for the Board to regularly engage in discussions with the front-line educators implementing those changes to receive meaningful feedback as to their effectiveness.

“School bullying, playground safety, and student transportation are common issues and I look forward to the opportunity to work with our community to find collaborative resolutions,” Langenberger said.

She also added that she supports any initiative that improves children’s futures and ensures that the policies and practices of Howell Township prioritize those needs.

Attempts to reach Joseph Mauer Jr. were unsuccessful at the time of publication.

In addition, incumbent Marc Parisi is looking to return for a seat as the Howell representative for the Freehold Regional High School Board of Education. Incumbent Kathie Lavin will also be running as the Farmingdale representative for the Freehold Regional High School Board of Education. Eric Daniels is running to fill one of two seats open tor Farmingdale Borough Board of Education.

The 2022 General Election Day will be held on November 8.

Health Insurance Marketplace Opened For Uninsured From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy and New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance Commissioner Marlene Caride announced that consumers shopping for 2023 health coverage can start purchasing plans beginning November 1, 2022, when Open Enrollment begins at the state’s Official Health Insurance Marketplace, Get Covered New Jersey (GetCovered.NJ.gov).

Consumers will benefit from historic levels of financial help that remain available for the upcoming year and more plan options with the addition of a new insurance company offering plans on the marketplace.

Established by the Murphy Administration, Get Covered New Jersey is where individuals and families who do not have health insurance through an employer or other program, such as Medicaid or Medicare, can easily shop for and buy health insurance. Get Covered New Jersey is the only place residents can get financial help for health coverage.

The Open Enrollment Period for 2023 coverage at Get Covered New Jersey will run from November 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. Consumers must enroll by Dec. 31 for coverage starting Jan. 1; if they enroll

by Jan. 31, coverage will begin Feb. 1.

Residents can view available 2023 health plans, compare costs and see if they qualify for financial help now, before the

enrollment window opens, using the Get Covered New Jersey Shop and Compare tool. All consumers need is their zip code, birth date and income, and they can view the plans available and the estimated amount of financial help they may qualify for in order to lower premium costs.

“New Jersey continues to be guided by the belief that healthcare is a right. That principle has served as the foundation for our work to improve access to quality, affordable health coverage for our residents,” said Governor Murphy. “Through the efforts of our Administration and the Biden-Harris Administration, I am thrilled our state will be able to offer even more health insurance plan options with record levels of financial help. I encourage individuals seeking health coverage to take advantage of these historic savings by visiting Get Covered New Jersey to find and enroll in the plan that best meets their family’s needs.”

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act passed by Congress and signed by President Biden in August 2022, record-level savings will remain available to help lower the costs of monthly premiums.

The federal American Rescue Plan Act, signed last year, significantly increased the amount of financial help available to consumers and removed the income cap to receive assistance. No one pays more than 8.5 percent of their income for health insurance through Get Covered New Jersey.

The federal savings allowed New Jersey to increase the amount of state subsidies, called New Jersey Health Plan Savings, which are available to eligible consumers

and to extend the savings to residents at higher income levels for the first time last year, allowing those earning an annual salary of up to 600 percent of the federal poverty level ($81,540 for an individual and $166,500 for a family of four) to receive state assistance. The Inflation Reduction Act extended the historic federal savings for three years.

Nine out of 10 residents enrolling will qualify for financial help, and many people will have access to a health plan at a cost of $10 a month or less. Plans and prices change each year, so individuals who have coverage now should review their plan options during the Open Enrollment Period to find the plan that best meets their needs and budget.

The federal administration also recently eliminated the “family glitch” to further bolster affordability of health insurance. As a result of this action, family members of workers who are offered affordable self-only coverage but unaffordable family coverage may qualify for premium tax credits to buy plans on the marketplace. Generally, families paying more than 9.12% of their income towards employer coverage in 2023 may have more affordable options through Get Covered New Jersey.

This Open Enrollment Period, five insurance companies will offer plans through the marketplace, with Aetna joining AmeriHealth, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, Oscar, and Ambetter from WellCare of New Jersey.

The upcoming Open Enrollment Period begins Get Covered New Jersey’s third year in operation. In 2020, the state transitioned away from the federal marketplace, HealthCare.gov, and became a full operational

State Based Exchange. The state expanded the Open Enrollment Period in 2020 to three months, from the previous six-week window available under the previous federal administration, began offering state subsidies, and invested more in outreach and trained experts who provide free, unbiased enrollment assistance to residents in the community.

This year, 17 Navigators, which are New Jersey-based community organizations, will provide enrollment assistance, outreach and education year-round for 2023 coverage, available now and throughout the Open Enrollment Period. Navigators also assist consumers who are eligible to enroll in coverage outside of Open Enrollment, through Special Enrollment Periods throughout the year.

Open Enrollment is the only time of year residents can enroll in a plan, unless they have a major life event, such as marriage, pregnancy, or moving, that qualifies them for a Special Enrollment Period or if they qualify for NJ FamilyCare.

Health plans offered through GetCovered.

NJ.gov cover preventive services, emergency services, prescription drugs, prenatal and pediatric care, and more, and no one can be denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition.

Consumers are encouraged to use the free assistance available in local communities throughout the state by visiting Find Local Assistance at or to call the Customer Call Center 1-833-677-1010 TTY 711.

In New Jersey, there remains a requirement to have health coverage. Residents who do not qualify for an exemption from the Shared Responsibility Payment will pay a penalty at tax time.

Senators Commemorate Superstorm Sandy Resilience Projects Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

NEW JERSEY – A decade after Superstorm Sandy hit New Jersey, devastating the Garden State’s coastal communities, officials toured the Port Monmouth Flood Protection project in Monmouth County to commemorate the anniversary of the storm and to highlight more than $10 billion in federal investments in housing, economic, and flood resilience infrastructure to help rebuild the State and to make it more resilient to future storms.

The Port Monmouth project is among several other Army Corps and DEP-led resilience projects actively being built

in New Jersey. Design is also currently underway for a project involving the borough of Highlands. The Army Corps and the DEP are working with the community to install floodwall, levees, pump station, road closure gate and interior drainage within the .7 square mile Borough. This project is estimated to cost about $198 million.

Major funding was made available for these projects at the federal level.

In the ten years since Superstorm Sandy devastated New Jersey’s coastline and inland areas, the DEP has worked with the Army Corps to invest approximately $2 billion for coastal and flood protection projects focused along the Shore. In addition to the Port Monmouth, Union Beach, and Highlands project, other Army Corps-funded projects include:

$96.8 million beach and dune construction project in Cape May County (encompassing beaches in southern Ocean City, Upper Township, and Sea Isle City) that is complete. $140.4 million project to construct beaches and infrastructure in Monmouth County (Loch Arbour, Allenhurst, Deal, and Long Branch) that is complete. $159.9 million beach and dune construction project covering 12.7 miles of beach on Long Beach Island that is complete. $39.3 million seawall and boardwalk project along Absecon Inlet that is complete in Atlantic City. $59.3 million beach and dune construction project on Absecon Island (Renourish Atlantic City and Ventnor and Initial Construction Longport and Margate) that is complete. $131.4 million beach and dune project for Northern Ocean County (for all towns

from Point Pleasant Beach to Berkeley Township) that is complete. $11.4 million project to initially construct beach berm along Oakwood Beach in Elsinboro Twp. along the Delaware River that is complete.

The Army Corps also completed the repair and restoration of all of the pre-Sandy coastal protection projects along the Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties coastline at a cost of over $200 million.

In addition to immediate post-Sandy repairs, the Army Corps has also completed over $300 million in periodic beach nourishment since the completion of Sandy-related work.

These large-scale projects are in addition to the many more Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Housing & Urban Development, Department of (Government - See Page 7)

Without question, there’s a stigma attached to reporting incidents associated with domestic violence. Victims sometimes hesitate to report issues for a few reasons. They figure the harm isn’t significant enough to involve law enforcement or the courts.

Some also fear making a report will trigger an even worse attack.

The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the country. For some, calling in law enforcement for help might be a lifesaving move. Locally, it comes with some reassurances.

According to Howell Township Police Sgt. Peter Hochhauser, all of the department’s officers receive mandatory domestic violence training in the police academy. The local department follows up with additional in-house training on an annual basis.

“If someone is a victim of domestic violence or knows someone who is a victim of domestic violence, they should call the police immediately or respond to police headquarters immediately,” said Hochhauser. “They need to do whatever is easier and safer for them at the time so we can give assistance as quickly as possible.”

When it comes to asking for temporary restraining orders, municipal judges are called when the Monmouth County Superior Court is closed or almost ready to end the business day. This includes weekends,

Transportation, and State-funded emergency response and resiliency projects completed all across the areas impacted

by Superstorm Sandy on October 29, 2012 that, in total, invested more than $10 billion to rebuild New Jersey in a more resilient-way.

“Ten years ago, Hurricane Sandy devastated communities across the state – from small towns down the shore to urban hubs up north,” said U.S. Senator Robert Menendez. “As impacted communities worked to recover and rebuild, I fought in Washington to ensure they had the tools to do so. In the past decade, I’ve secured tens of billions of dollars in federal funding to help our state rebuild and make investments in mitigation, including millions for the Port Monmouth

The Howell Times, November 5, 2022, Page 7 holidays, and outside normal operational hours.

Hochhauser said that when a temporary restraining order is signed, it may result in an arrest. At the very least, the police will remove the party accused of the act of domestic violence.

“We attempt to use evidence-based prosecution for domestic violence calls,” shared Hochhauser. “Officers are trained that from the time they respond to the incident, they are building an evidence-based case. This allows the case to be prosecuted if the victim does not cooperate.”

Some law enforcement officers have shared their frustration with victims who drop cases once it’s time to obtain a final restraining order. However, Hochhauser sees it from a different vantage point.

“I would like to think that even if the case is ‘dropped,’ the assistance at the time of our response had an impact,” Hochhauser said.

“We kept someone safe and possibly gave them time to rethink their current situation.”

The Howell Township Police Department refers local domestic violence victims to a non-profit organization called “180 Turning Lives Around” for help associated with the next steps in their lives.

According to their website, the non-profit offers a great deal of assistance. In some cases, victims may need emergency shelter, food and support services. The organization also works with abuse victims in establishing safety plans and has a number of programs designed to help families heal from traumatic life-changing events.

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine has confirmed yet another outcome of the global pandemic. Data shows violent acts of domestic violence increased by as much as 33 percent since life changed with shut-ins and stress-related aftereffects of COVID-19.

Flood Protection project. I exposed widespread lowballing of flood insurance claims and successfully pushed FEMA to reopen every Sandy f lood insurance claim for review, which resulted in Sandy survivors being compensated with over $260 million in additional payments. While we’ve made tremendous progress in the past decade, there’s still much more work to do and I am committed to continuing to advocate on behalf of Sandy survivors.”

“Superstorm Sandy’s devastation was a wakeup call to commit to protecting our state and our country from severe weather and climate change. I’m heartened by the progress we’ve made in rebuilding Port Monmouth to be more resilient. I remain committed to strengthening our state’s critical infrastructure and protecting New Jerseyans from future disasters,” said U.S. Senator Cory Booker.

Famer’s Market Moves, Include Pie Baking Contest And Tree Lighting

HOWELL – The Howell Farmer’s Market Association is pleased to announce that it is moving to a new location. The Market, which has been located for the last three years at the Municipal Building on Route 9 North will now be moving to Echo Lake Park and Pavilion at 1205 Maxim Southard Road in Howell for its Harvest Market in November and for its Holiday Market in December.

Directions to the market and a link with information about the Echo Lake location are located at: twp.howell.nj.us/facilities/ facility/details/Alfred-C-Sauer-Park-atEcho-Lake-2.

The Harvest Market will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on November 13. This year the Harvest Market will include a Pie Baking Contest.

The Holiday Market will be held in conjunction with the annual Holiday Tree and Menorah Lighting sponsored by the Township. It will be held from 12 to 5 p.m.

The Township Tree Lighting and Menorah Lighting will take place thereafter. There will be a band throughout the day.

The Farmer’s Market expects that Echo Lake Park and Pavilion will become its

new permanent home.

The Market President, Joan Osborne said about the move: “The move to Echo Lake is a great opportunity to grow the market and provide more amenities to the vendors and the customers who visit the Market on Sundays from May to October.

Echo Lake Park has a nicer esthetic for a farmer’s market than the current highway location and offers shade trees, picnic tables, playground equipment, the lake, bathrooms and an indoor pavilion for inclement weather. The Market has regularly featured local musicians for entertainment and the park offers options for people to sit and enjoy the music after they shop with their favorite vendors. While we have had a good run on Highway 9, the new location is not far from our current location, and we expect that people will fi nd us even if we are not right on the highway. We will also have more space to accommodate more vendors, and hope to continue to grow the market.”

Further information about the Market and its events, including applications to participate in the pie baking contest can be found at facebook.com/HowellNJFarmersMarket.

Monmouth County Man Found Guilty Of Murder, Arson

By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN TOWNSHIP – After a monthlong trial, a Township man has been convicted of murdering a family friend over three years ago and setting her home on fire, officials said.

Ronald J. Teschner, 52, was convicted of f irst-degree Murder, f irst-degree Felony Murder, first-degree Robbery,

three f irst-degree weapons offenses, second-degree Aggravated Arson, second-degree Desecration of Human Remains, third-degree Aggravated Assault, third-deg ree Bu rglar y, third-deg ree Robbery, three counts of third-degree Theft, a third-degree drug offense, and fourth-degree Resisting Arrest, all in connection with the death of 65-year-old

Jacqueline C. Terrulli.

On September 12, 2019, at about 7:30 a.m., the Wickapecko Drive residence was discovered to be completely engulfed in f lames. Once the f ire was extinguished, a joint investigation was launched by the Ocean Township Police Department and the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, in conjunction with

the Monmouth County Fire Marshal’s Office.

Authorities quickly determined that Ter r ulli and Tesch ner were missing along with Terrulli’s 2019 Jeep Cherokee.

In the early morning hours on September 13, 2019, Teschner was located in Paterson alone in Terrulli’s car. The car contained various items including clothing, shotguns, jewelry and lawn equipment all belonging to Terrulli. As a result, Teschner was arrested and lodged in the Monmouth County Correctional Institution (MCCI).

On February 24, 2020, a Monmouth County grand jury returned a 16-count indictment against Teschner for the murder of Terrulli.

The body of Jacqueline Terrulli was found on June 18, 2020. Her remains were discovered wrapped in plastic and buried several feet underground. As a result of the fire at the 6,000 square foot residence, extensive charred rubble had collapsed upon and covered the burial site.

“This was a genuinely monst rous crime, hallmarked by callous brutality – Jacqueline Terrulli welcomed the defendant into her home to live, and as a result of that charity, lost her life,” Acting Monmouth County First Assistant Prosecutor Michael J. Wojciechowski said. “While this verdict can’t bring her back, we hope it offers some sense of solace to her family and friends, knowing that justice has been served.”

Sentencing in the case has been scheduled for February 7, 2023, at which time Teschner will face a term of up to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The Prosecutor’s Office thanked the numerous agencies that participated in this investigation and/or the extensive search for Terrulli’s remains, including the Ocean Township Police Department, Paterson Police, Wayne Police, Monmouth County Fire Marshal’s Office, Monmouth County Public Works, Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office K9 Bomb Squad, Bloodhound, Regional Dive and Search Team; Bergen County Sheriff’s Office K9, Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit, a New Jersey Office of the Attorney General Division of Criminal Justice Recruit Class, New Jersey Turnpike Authority, New Jersey State Fire Marshal’s Office and K9 Accelerant Dog, New Jersey State Police K9 Cadaver Dog, Missing Persons Unit, Police Regional Operations Intelligence Center (ROIC), and Police Laboratory; New Jersey Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory, New Jersey Transit Police Dive Team and Police Boats, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Quantico Laboratory and Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) K9 accelerant Dog, Critical Research Group, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), and the University of North Texas.

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

Chronotherapy: Timing Of These 4 Medication Matters Greatly!

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Today’s article is about timing your medication properly. It’s called “chronotherapy.” This ensures that your drug (or supplement) therapy is optimally timed to your disease and symptoms, and in some cases to gene expression.

Almost every adult in the United States takes medication, whether it’s over-the-counter or prescription, and the popularity of pharmaceuticals is absolutely staggering. But millions of people have taken their pills at the wrong time, which means they have a higher risk of problems, some of which are life-threatening.

Today’s article will offer clarity. Let’s start with hypertension since poorly controlled blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

1. Blood Pressure Medications. It is well known that some people with hypertension experience a morning blood pressure surge.

For this reason, blood pressure pills are best taken at nighttime, before bed. It helps reduce a morning blood pressure surge. Whether you take ACE inhibitors, Calcium Channel Blockers or ARBs, this category of medication is best taken at bedtime.

2. Thyroid Medications. Medications and supplements for thyroid health are almost always taken in the daytime. All thyroid medications including Synthroid® and Armour and others should be taken upon arising, or within the hour. This best matches your circadian rhythm and allows you to effectively metabolize the food you eat all day. The two popular supplements have chronological effects too: Iodine should be taken in the morning, and/or if you take

ashwagandha herb, it is best taken at night.

3. Asthma Medications. People often report experiencing night-time symptoms that worsen. These may include shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing, and anxiety. Lung function shows a circadian pattern with most discomfort occurring in the early morning.

For this reason, you see most medications for asthma given at bedtime, so that the body can process the medication and get it to the tissues that need it at the right time. Albuterol can be taken as needed, any time of day. Theophylline is a medication used in asthma that is fairly stimulating so if you are taking a long-acting version of that drug, take it in the morning.

4. Cholesterol Medications. We synthesize cholesterol while sleeping. It is churning out almost 40% of your total daily cholesterol production! So you can already guess that taking a statin with a short half-life with dinner is probably ideal. Those would include simvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, and fluvastatin.

The same chronological timing applies to dietary supplements used for high cholesterol.

Long-acting statins like atorvastatin may be taken any time of day.

I have a much longer article about this topic posted on my website, suzycohen.com and it includes how to time antidepressants, medications for rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, as well as acid reflux. Chronotherapy is a valuable strategy that maximizes the benefits of medication while reducing side effects.

Taking a drug at the wrong time will only cause more problems than it fixes, so please consider timing, and discuss the ideal regimen with your local pharmacist.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore “Run with Dennis” 5K Run/Walk At PNC Arts Center

–Photo courtesy Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund HOLMDEL – The Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund will hold its 16th Annual “Run with Dennis” 5K Run/Walk on November 6 at PNC Arts Center in Holmdel.

“We are looking forward to another well-attended ‘Run with Dennis,’ complete with a full ceremony to honor our veterans and the brave men and women who serve our country. It is both comforting and inspiring to the Zilinski family to have so much support from the community – including those from Dennis’ alma maters, West Point and Christian Brothers Academy,” said Marion Zilinski, Co-Founder and Board Member, the Zilinski Memorial Fund.

“The rigor of this course is symbolic, and that’s why we selected it. The steep incline up the hills is a reminder of the challenges faced by our veterans and military. We hope the difficulty of the course will give runners added perspective of the sacrifices that are given for our freedom,” added Dennis Zilinski, Co-Founder and Board Member, the Zilinski Memorial Fund.

The Zilinski’s son, Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II, was killed in action in Iraq by a roadside bomb in 2005. The Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund was created and founded a year later in Dennis’ honor. Twenty-threeyear-old Lt. Zilinski was a Middletown, New Jersey resident, a Christian Brothers Academy (Lincroft, New Jersey) alumnus,

a distinguished West Point graduate, a member of the 187th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division. Since his untimely death, family and friends have united with the Memorial Fund to provide support to improve the morale and welfare of members of the United States Armed Forces and their families.

To sign up for the Run/Walk, go to runwithdennis.org/event or register the day of the event beginning at 7:45 a.m. Adults are $30 and participants 18 and under are $15.

All funds raised at this event will be used to support our wounded warriors and our soldiers serving overseas. The following is the timeline for the day’s events: 8:50 a.m.: A ceremony and tribute to Dennis and our active-duty soldiers and veterans.

9:30 a.m.: Last minute registrations and stretching for the challenge.

10 a.m.: The gun goes off to start the run.

10:10 a.m.: The gun goes off to start the walk.

11 a.m.: Awards at the Post-Run Reception.

Supporters can also “Run with Dennis” from any location. Those who cannot make it to Holmdel, New Jersey, but still want to run in Dennis’ honor can join us via our World Tour Run. Details are also on our website at runwithdennis.org.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Examining “Reasonable” Employee Accommodation In The Workplace

Christopher R. Shea Esq.

By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates A proven New Jersey employment law source makes the following important point concerning workplace discrimination targeting a prospective or current worker’s disability. It sadly notes that many employers “cannot look past a person’s impairment, and only see “can’t” or “cost.” That is both unfair and unfortunate. Moreover, it also spells this: flatly unlawful conduct aimed at a select employment demographic that is rightly afforded protection under powerful federal and state laws.

A New Jersey employer that treats a disabled worker in an illegal manner runs squarely into statutory legislation that firmly prohibits such conduct. Both the federal and New Jersey laws cited above set forth a “reasonable” accommodation test that courts are guided by

in work place disability discrimination cases.

The aforementioned employment law places the onus upon employers to engage in good faith with a disabled job candidate or worker concerning accommodations. If the accommodation is reasonable and can be offered, without placing an undue burden on the employer, then the accommodation MUST be offered.

An employer who takes any other course of conduct will run afoul of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination Here is the bottom line. Disabled individuals who can work have a legal right to do so.

If they are denied the opportunity, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination permits that them to turn to it for legal help and a meaningful remedy.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Local Musician Shares Her Story Of Activism

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Kaleigh Brendle, 19, has headed back to Villanova University and either wants to be a disability rights attorney or a musician and with her energy, she could probably do both.

The teenager hasn’t let her visual limitations stop her love of performing music but it did inspire her to fight for proper accommodations for those who are visually impaired.

Brendle, a resident of Brick, and a high school graduate from Howell Township, worked to secure appropriate accommodations for those like herself from the College Board.

She also performed at the White House with a choir and also created a choir at the age of 14 for visually impaired singers. Brendle recently performed some of her own music as well as several cover songs during a Saturday afternoon program that was sponsored by the Jackson Friends of the Library.

Prior to her library appearance she spoke to Micromedia Publications/Jersey Shore Obnline.com about how she responded to an unfair issue and beat the odds. During her presentation she would integrate music with an appropriate song related to the chronology of her story.

“The songs supplement the story,” she said.

The two stories she shared included one from 2020 which was an issue with the College Board regarding AP (advanced placement) exams. “They refused to provide blind and deaf test takers braille and other critical accommodations during the COVID-19 pandemic and other test takers and I stood up against that and ultimately won that struggle and secured the braille that we needed.”

She said Jackson Librarian Christine Mecca asked her to talk about another advocacy project she undertook a year later as part of her senior thesis. “I went to a specialized program at a high school and so they required a capstone project where you can’t just write

the presentation you actually have to start to institute change about whatever you are discussing.

“I want to be a disability rights attorney and what I ultimately chose was representation of disability in children’s media.” This included situation comedies, cartoons and some Disney programs.

“I was curious because growing up I’d never seen a disabled character on any of those outside of an episode. A blind character was on a Sesame Street episode, actually, a fraction of one. Is there something to that?”

Brendle pondered.

Brendle made some sad discoveries. “The visual impairment representation that is awarded has a rate of one percent right now for children’s media for disability. It doesn’t give disabled kids someone to look up to when they are watching that. One in five Americans have some kind of disability now.”

“It is a pretty large group and to see it, they are either tokenizing or vilifying,” she added.

She gave an example of tokenizing as the Sesame Street episode she referenced. “Where the character was only there for a fraction of an episode as if to check off a box.”

As for as vilifying, “a lot of villains in cartoons have some sort of defect or disability and that is a really bad angle to take and a consistency that is really troubling as it casts in a kid’s mind that being different are the bad ones and the ones to look out for,” she added.

Brendle released a video on social media that explained some of her research in a basic manner. “I started a campaign called ‘Out of Sight Out of Mind’ and it definitely got some attention. Unfortunately, I couldn’t advocate for it as much as I wanted to because I had to go to college right after that but any chance I get to talk about it and bring the issue to light, I definitely do that.”

She intends to contact Nickelodeon and Disney in the future “to see what is possible because that still is an existing issue.” She

noted that Sheldon in the Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon shows representation in having “autism or asperger’s and I believe there was a character on Modern Family who has something. There is more adult oriented programming that does have representation.”

She was joined by her mother Heather Brendle for the program who provided her some tips. Her mother said she was very proud of her daughter and her bright spirit even as she fought unsurmountable odds to make positive change.

The story selections she made to punctuate her saga included the songs “Rise Up,” “That’s What Friends Are For,” “Smile,” the theme song from the animated film “Pocahontas” and “At Last.”

She was diagnosed with a condition commonly known as LCA. “It feels like I am extremely near sided when I have my very strong prescription glasses on. I don’t have any peripheral vision. I don’t have any depth perception. I can’t read print for long periods of time without getting substantial headaches.

“I have had it since birth and my brother who is totally blind has the same condition,” she added.

Her musical interest began at an early age as well. “My first memory of singing was my dad holding me up and me singing Sesame Street songs to passersby on the porch. I watched people stop and listen to me. It was one of those things that was always there. I don’t know quite how it began.

“When I watched my cartoons in the morning, I was addicted to PBS Kids which I think also fostered my love of reading too,” she said.

She noted how difficult the conditions of the COVID-19 shut down were during her senior year in high school. “I was completely remote for it and had very little contact with my peers and was exclusively in my house for 17 months and that can be really isolating for somebody. Music is how I really coped

with it.”

“I am very much split on my two career interests of being an attorney and singer,” she said. She recently released an album, performed at the Algonquin Art Theater and won the Diane Turton Talent Show in 2018 where she performed a song off her album in front of 500 people.

Her first of several White House appearances with the Princeton Westminster Children’s Choir was quite memorable. “I had the honor of being the featured soloist and performing there is incredible. It is one of those things where you can’t believe it is actually happening. It is magical and we went during the Christmas holidays.

“We were performing for not only the diplomats but for their families and there were a lot of little kids and it was so, so cute,” the performer said.

She formed the Sing for Serenity Choir “which is my pride and joy. It is an international online choir for the blind and visually impaired which I started five years ago. We have our own YouTube channel. We have members from over a dozen countries.”

“I’m creating a type of activism major at my college as there is an option to design your own major and what I am looking to create is using the legal system and using the media to advocate for positive change,” she added.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of nov 5 - nov 11

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The phrase, “to know you, is to love you,” may fit you to a tee in the coming week. Form attachments with trustworthy, reliable companions rather than pursuing a hot new prospect who seems too good to be true.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can be creative even if you paint by numbers. Pursue activities that allow you to express yourself and use to your advantage in the week ahead. A glimmer of romance might point the way to more intimacy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If someone opposes your decisions, remember that a gentle word may be the place to start. If you’ve been thinking someone wants a relationship with no strings attached, you may find that ties have become desirable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may enjoy the “sounds of silence” as the week unfolds. It might be what is left unsaid between you and a loved one, that is most significant.

You and a partner could be in agreement about your joint ambitions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This is a week when you can share dreams and explore possibilities with a special someone. You might meet someone who talks the talk but that’s about all there is.

Something you learn can become an asset.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Rather than mindlessly performing routines in the upcoming week, try viewing every task as an opportunity that could have surprises tucked inside. Contemplate your romantic dreams and their possibilities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A messenger of love may send you a note in the coming week. The more thoughtful and romantic you are, the more likely you will enjoy the message. You may be considering whether to put your heart on the line.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You would be wealthy if understanding and imagination were money. Use vivid imagery to plant the seeds of romance in someone’s heart. This might be a good week to hire a new assistant or start a new job.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): All’s fair in love and war, but your wallet is a different matter. You could be overly generous in the week ahead but are willing to work hard to achieve more. A kindly act might be repaid when least expected.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rise above righteous indignation and other forms of judgment. You may entertain ideas of great value as the week unfolds, so keep a list handy and jot them down. Use your insights and empathy to understand others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It may be easier than usual to collaborate with others. You might be conscientious about honoring the rules but a pushover when loved ones request special exceptions. Discuss key plans with a loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might be blessed with a new acquaintance who understands your romantic dreams. A convenient change to your income or an unexpected financial improvement might be yours in the weeks to come.
