By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – After a courageous battle with lymphoma, 14-yearold Katelyn Morales of Howell has sadly passed away.

Katelyn was born on April 11, 2009 in Toms River. She moved to Howell during elementary school and recently

graduated 8th grade from Howell Middle School South. She was in her freshman year at Red Bank Catholic High School.

She was a scholar student and a star athlete that excelled in soccer, track and basketball. Soccer was her passion, and she was

a member of the nationally ranked BOCA O’Hara Soccer Team, her obituary states.

Katelyn was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma that had quickly spread to multiple parts of her body. According to her doctors, this is a rare form of cancer that (Teen - See Page 4)

Council Approves Transfer Station Settlement

By Stephanie Faughnan HOWELL – The Township Council accepted a settlement agreement ending litigation involving a fully enclosed transfer station that is proposed to be built.

Mayor Theresa Berger stood as the sole dissenting vote against the resolution that reached a settlement with Resource Engineering, Inc. The settlement agreement, set to be integrated into a court order, was not accessible to the press during the time of reporting. However, key details from the agreement were presented and discussed during the meeting.

Authorities said that Howell was not originally a party to the litigation involving Resource Engineering. Officials decided to intervene to safeguard interests of the town and its people and to ensure the township would benefit from the proposed location of the transfer station.

Prior to the decisive vote, Attorney Jerry Dasti, acting as special counsel for the municipality, explained the settlement. Several members of the public seeking information attended the meeting in person, while others watched online.

Dasti traced the origins of the proposed transfer station to 2017 or 2018 when the proposed transfer station was initially brought forward by the developer. The site in question at 34 Randolph Road is currently a wood recycling facility. The new proposed use resulted in a series of public hearings, negotiations, and eventually led to litigation. The developer initiated legal action against the County Commissioners and the Monmouth County SWAC (Solid Waste Advisory Commission).

Highlighting the typical process for such facilities, Dasti explained the role of Advisory Commissions in making recommendations to the commissioners, the five elected officials who run the county. He also stressed the importance of passing a resolution to cement the terms of the settlement.

“If we don’t resolve this to our satisfaction, that doesn’t mean it goes away,” said Dasti. “The developer still makes application to the county and thereafter the DEP to get a transfer station.”

“And if they’re successful, if they can show that there’s a need for it in this part of the county and they’re approved,” Dasti continued. “That approval might be without all of what we believe to be the positive benefits for the township.”

Dasti said that an important point about the transfer station is that it is not what most people would consider a dump. It would not handle household (Settlement - See Page 3)

Settlement:

Continued From Page 1 garbage, so neighbors wouldn’t worry about the smell of rotting food, for example. Instead, it would handle Type 13 Waste. This category includes materials such as concrete and building materials, all of which would be housed within a fully enclosed building.

He said that trucks transporting this waste would enter the building, unload their cargo, and then exit. All activities related to the transfer station are conducted indoors, minimizing potential external impacts.

“Smaller trucks will bring waste from a point source and will tip it on the floor of the building,” said Frank J. Vitolo, the attorney representing Resource. “It will be sorted by equipment into areas within the building…It then gets loaded into a larger truck from when it arrived that goes to the ultimate end location.”

There would also be an office onsite. However, this office would exclusively serve the needs of the transfer station itself and would not be leased to any third party.

The construction of the building would adhere to stormwater regulations mandated by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). This aims to mitigate any potential impact on stormwater runoff.

Additionally, the landscaping surrounding the facility would be in accordance with the township code, to create a buffer with neighbors and to partially hide it from sight.

During the second phase of the presentation, Township Manager Joe Clark compared the 2018 proposal put forth by

The Howell Times, January 20, 2024, Page 3 the developer and the terms outlined in the recently approved settlement agreement.

“In 2018, we had less control over the project,” said Clark. “The initial representation suggested approximately 150 trucks per day in addition to trucks from other proposed development in the surrounding area, which would have been substantial.”

The projected on-site processing of approximately 1,500 tons of type 13 and 13 C material daily was a significant concern.

Moreover, there were indications that material from adjoining municipalities outside of Monmouth might contribute to this load.

This is no longer the case as all materials must originate from within the county.

Resource Engineering has committed to putting a traffic light at the intersection of Route 547 and Randoph at their own expense. Access to and from the project will primarily utilize Routes 9, 547, and 195.

Trucks leaving the project will be directed left, ensuring a swift exit to Route 547.

Under the 2018 proposal, Resource suggested compensating Howell at a rate of 50 cents per ton for type 13 and 13 C waste - a host community benefit amounting to around $215,000 annually.

The new agreement increases this amount from 50 cents to $5 per ton. This fee will rise by 2% each year, resulting in an anticipated benefit of about $950,000 annually to the Township.

The project’s daily truck trips are expected to increase to an average of 80, up from the current average of 50. All trucks will load and unload inside the building, where waste will be sorted for transfer outside Howell.

The developer is expected to contribute $50,000 to the township’s open space fund, paid after the certificate of occupancy is issued for the station. There is also the opportunity for the company to consider procurement of a parcel of land adjacent to the facility that is currently owned by the township.

“Resource has also agreed to accept 1,000 tons of our Type 13 and 13C Waste that we may get at our bulk pickup and drop-off,” said Clark. “In addition to 5,000 tons of brush each year from the township free of charge as a benefit to Howell. This is anticipated to save us approximately $80,000 to $100,000 a year at current prices.”

In the public comment segment of the meeting, numerous attendees urged the council to postpone their vote until the next council meeting. They expressed concern that the information had just been presented for the first time and accused the governing body of a lack of transparency. Furthermore, objections were raised regarding the meeting format, with attendees noting that it did not facilitate open dialogue and imposed time constraints on the questioning process.

“The 12 or 13 page agreement should be given to the community to review so that we can ask what questions we do have,” said resident Sheri Reavis. “I wasn’t able to process the information on a couple points on a slideshow (presented during the meeting).”

Steve Morlino, another Howell resident, echoed Reavis’ points, expressing his worry about potential traffic issues, despite conflicting opinions from experts.

Larry Zwickel, residing on Randolph Road, said he already has problems getting out of his driveway and voiced concerns about the additional traffic impact.

“My quality of life is affected by everyday traffic on Randolph Road,” stated Zwickel.

“Everyone talks about traffic, but Randolph Road doesn’t produce traffic. It’s all the cutthrough traffic.”

Additional residents joined in expressing their worries about traffic, including Mayor Berger. She emphasized that the facility’s early Saturday morning hours could disrupt the peace for local residents during their usual downtime.

Morlino said he reached out to Lakewood Mayor Raymond G. Coles, who informed him of Lakewood’s plans for a temporary waste transfer station.

“He reminded me that Lakewood is looking to put in a temporary waste transfer station that would only house stuff overnight and then it would be taken offsite,” Morlino explained. “He said that by DEP regulation, he can’t (transport) stuff here (from Ocean to Monmouth). They make it sound like we’re not going to allow it. The DEP won’t allow it.”

Howell resident Marc Parisi said it seemed the project was tied to Lakewood’s building boom. He asked why it was being built in the southern end of Monmouth County if it would not accept waste from Ocean County.

“Could the professionals talk about open DEP violations?” Parisi requested. “I had the opportunity to go on the state website and saw there were a number of open violations

In addition, she suffered from a number of side effects due to the treatments including her ability to walk, as a tumor was pressing on her spinal cord.

Katelyn was an inpatient at Children’s

Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and passed away on January 10 surrounded by her loving family, her obituary states.

“Katelyn was beautiful, kind, strong and selfless… When she wasn’t playing soccer, she could be found at Manasquan beach and enjoyed catching a sunrise or a sunset.

She loved nothing more than spending time with her countless, amazing friends. She also loved vacationing with family, reading, Taylor Swift and the color pink. She will be

missed tremendously,” her obituary states.

Katelyn is predeceased by her grandfather Antonio Morales and beloved dogs Charlie, Max and Molly. She is survived by her mother, Tabatha, father, Jamie, sister Madison, brother Taylor, maternal grandparents Mary and Joseph Deanni, Thomas Brenner, paternal grandmother Myrna Morales, “aunt” Jul-Jul, many other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

But it does concern me that people that are going to be coming to our town to operate a facility, and currently there are pending open violations with the DEP.” Concerns were also raised about the developer’s tax delinquencies, with reassurance provided to the public that they are currently up to date. Town officials, unaware of the DEP issues, pledged to investigate them.

Dasti emphasized that Howell holds no legal standing in determining whether the transfer station can be built. The decision lies with the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, the County Commissioners, and the DEP. Dasti clarified that the vote that night was not to approve the transfer station.

Senators Call For Full WIC Funding For 2024 Fiscal Year Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and U.S. Representatives Lauren Underwood (D-IL-14), Lois Frankel (D-FL22), Lucy McBath (D-GA-07), and Alma Adams (D-NC-12) led over 160 Senate and House Democrats in a letter calling on congressional leaders to ensure any final appropriations package fully funds the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in the 2024 fiscal year.

WIC is a critical nutrition program for mothers and their young children, that has a robust track record of yielding numerous and lasting health benefits for participants by providing healthy food, breastfeeding support, nutrition education, health care referrals and other key interventions. If

Congress fails to fully fund WIC, up to two million mothers and their children will likely lose access to the program, or be unable to enroll.

Since 1997, Congress has, on a bipartisan basis, fully funded WIC each year. Senator Booker and 168 Congressional colleagues firmly emphasized that once again, WIC must be fully funded so that all eligible applicants are able to enroll.

“WIC is a vital lifeline for millions of vulnerable American families. It provides nutritious foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, health care referrals, and other important services to nearly 7 million low-income pregnant and postpartum participants, infants, and young children nationwide,” the lawmakers wrote. “For more than 25 years, there has been a bipartisan commitment to provide adequate funding for WIC to serve every eligible family that relies on the program and to ensure that those in need are not turned away. At the foundation of this commitment is substantial

evidence of WIC’s positive impacts on the health and development of its participants.”

The lawmakers detailed the risks of not adequately funding the program, writing, “If Congress fails to fully fund WIC, states will soon be forced to start turning eligible families away. Eligible applicants and current participants, primarily postpartum women who are not breastfeeding and children, could be put on waiting lists - leaving them without the services they rely on indefinitely.

There are more than half a million current WIC participants who are pregnant and will need to renew their benefits shortly after giving birth. Under a funding shortfall, some of these new mothers could see their benefits halted. These new moms would lose access to WIC’s nutritious foods at a time that is critical for their health and their child’s development. Such devastating outcomes would disproportionately impact people of color, who are already at higher risk for severe pregnancy-related health issues including maternal mortality.”

“America’s maternal health crisis is growing worse by the day, and further disruption to WIC in the coming months would be

catastrophic. As you work to finalize a government funding package, we urge you to fully fund WIC and protect vulnerable women and children from losing access to the vital support that WIC provides. Thank you for your attention to this important matter,” the lawmakers concluded.

Georgia Machell, Interim President & CEO of the National WIC Association, said, “For nearly three decades, there has been a bipartisan tradition to provide WIC with the resources to serve every eligible family that walks in the front door. As we enter WIC’s 50th year, this should be a time of celebration for the program, but instead, we are facing the possibility of waiting lists for the first time in a generation. WIC has made huge strides in recent years to modernize service delivery, enhance outreach efforts, and make evidence-based updates to the food benefit - all of these have been successful in enabling the program to reach more eligible families. Congress must ensure WIC remains a reliable resource to our nation’s moms, babies, and kids.

Failure to do so would be an abdication of responsibility.”

Making New Jersey More Affordable For More Families From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy Editor’s note: The following is an excerpt from the governor’s State of the State address.

As we begin our seventh year of partnership, New Jersey stands tall, resilient, and brimming with ambition.

We all know these are not simple times. As many of our neighbors tell us: this is an era of unease and uncertainty.

So here is our task, today: to meet these hard times by working even harder.

Since the last administration, we have more than doubled the growth rate of our state’s economy.

And, at the same time, we have created nearly 200,000 jobs.

Jobs that pay well. Jobs that support a family.

Jobs that give people the confidence that they can make their future in the Garden State.

And as we look ahead, our job is to make sure that every family benefits from our economic momentum.

That is why, since the start of our administration, we have enacted 20 new tax cuts for middle-class families and seniors.

We created the most ambitious property tax relief program in our state’s history: The ANCHOR program.

For the second year in row, it has put nearly $2 billion back into the pockets of more than

a million-and-a-half seniors and middle-class families.

For each household, that means up to $1,750 in direct relief.

We are going to provide even more relief, with programs like Stay NJ, so more grandparents can stay close to their kids and their grandkids.

As of this month, New Jersey’s minimum wage has officially reached over $15 an hour.

In fact, by the time I leave office, our minimum wage could be nearly double what it was when I was elected to this office in 2017.

But we need to keep moving forward.

When working parents walk through the grocery store - or shop for school supplies - it certainly does not feel like things are working in their favor.

People are worried - on a fundamental level - about their financial stability.

When I talk to families across our state, they tell me it is harder to make ends meet, harder to cover the costs of everyday necessities.

And they live with the fear that they are one bad diagnosis - or one missed paycheck - away from financial ruin. Or, that they may never be able to own a home - or send their kids to college.

In the wealthiest nation in the world, nobody should have to worry about being able to afford critical health care services or a lifesaving medical procedure.

Right now, in New Jersey, more than one in ten of our neighbors has medical debt in collections. That number is even higher in

communities of color.

And we know that when someone is saddled with medical debt, they are less likely to seek medical care.

So we are taking action.

In last year’s budget, we invested $10 million into an innovative medical debt relief program.

For every dollar invested, we can retire up to $100 in debt - for tens of thousands of people.

I am calling on our Legislature to enact a new package that will help families avoid being caught in a medical debt trap and require every medical bill to be clear and transparent.

Under our administration, New Jersey has emerged as a national leader in expanding affordable housing.

However, today, we have a new challenge on our hands: New Jersey is popular!

People see our quality of life, our best-inthe-nation public schools, our top rankings in public safety, and they say: sign me up.

In fact, between 2021 and 2022, tens of thousands of New Yorkers made the move across the Hudson and set roots in New Jersey. It was the third-largest movement - from one state to another - in the entire country.

But if our population grows - while our housing stock remains steady - homeownership will be a luxury reserved only for those at the top.

We need to put the dream of homeownership and affordable housing back into reach for working New Jerseyans.

I look forward to signing legislation…to make it a whole lot easier to build more affordable housing - efficiently and equitably.

And, in the spirit of lifting the financial burdens weighing on our families, let us redouble

our commitment to bringing universal pre-K to all of New Jersey.

To ensure that every family - regardless of their economic status - can afford to send their child to a safe, enriching environment during the day.

So far, we have helped more than 14,000 of our state’s children enroll in a pre-K program. And we are just getting started.

Through our state’s nation-leading pandemic relief and main street revitalization programs, we have invested nearly $1 billion into helping our small businesses stay afloat.

In fact, since we entered office, nearly 60,000 new small businesses have opened their doors in the Garden State.

Just last week, we received word that - in 2023 - we saw our lowest number of shootings in nearly 15 years.

For those wondering how that could be, there is a simple explanation: It is because we have provided historic funding to community-based violence prevention efforts - empowering residents in cities like Newark, Paterson, Jersey City, Trenton, and more.

It is because we have some of the strongest gun safety laws in the entire country.

And it is because we have some of the finest law enforcement officers in the United States - led by Attorney General Matt Platkin and the Superintendent of the State Police, Colonel Pat Callahan.

As a result, we are saving lives. And making New Jersey a safer place to raise a family.

Let me be absolutely clear about the state of our state: New Jersey is stronger and fairer than ever before.

advisories. It noted peak records of flood heights, stating that certain areas of Ocean County reached nearly five feet of water levels.

In Monmouth County, the State Department of Transportation reported flooding in Howell on Route 33 eastbound, east of Fairfield Road.

Freehold Borough residents saw several trees as well as utility poles brought down by the wind. This left many neighborhoods without power for several hours.

In Manasquan, a number of roads including parts of Main Street, Brielle Road, as well as parts of Route 71 were closed due to flooding.

Additionally, a wind advisory was in effect for Monmouth County, according to the National Weather Service, as the west winds to reached 20 to 25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph.

The Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Office prepared for the coastal storm with their Office of Emergency Management team, who discussed preparations and planning in order to stay ahead of the storm. OEM Coordinator Scott Nielsen and staff met in the Sheriff ’s Operations Center where they were on alert all day and night tracking the storm.

Sheriff Shaun Golden urged drivers to take precaution while driving around flood prone areas and uses the term “Turn Around Don’t Drown!”

In Brick, flooding was reported on the Route 35 Spur south of Sixth Avenue according to the State Department of Transportation website 511nj.org. All lanes were closed and detoured. There was also flooding south of Normandy Beach. Parts of Brick’s residential communities such as Cherry Quay and Shore Acres also had roads filled with water.

Many cars in Bay Head were partially underwater. Streets were closed off in coastal communities near the Barnegat Bay, including Seaside Heights and Seaside Park, the Ocean County Sherrif’s Office reported.

Many roads in Toms River were affected by the storm, with NJDOT reporting several streets flooded. A major intersection at Fischer Boulevard and Route 37 was reported flooded, with the right shoulder closed and the ramp closed.

Residents shared online how multiple roads in Silverton were flooded the following afternoon due to the rain as well as the high tide from the lagoons and bay.

Other areas in Ocean County like Berkeley Township were flooded with debris from the marsh and had downed trees and

poles. Mayor John Bacchione stated that the Township is looking for way to preserve their quality of life moving forward.

“I have scheduled a meeting with our Township Planner, OEM Coordinator, Police Chief, the township’s grant writer and others to look for ways to improve our drainage systems to either elevate or mitigate the impacts of these storms on our roads and infrastructure,” Bacchione said.

There are several low-lying areas of Berkeley. Pelican Island (which is right over the Route 37 bridge to Seaside) and South Seaside Park (just north of Island Beach State Park) are both parts of Berkeley and saw flooding.

The Bayville Volunteer Fire Co. and Berkeley Parks Department were out taking care of downed trees. There were also multiple poles down in Holiday City, the mayor said.

He put out a warning telling residents not to drive through any bodies of water and not to move, drive around, or alter barricades or flood warning signs.

Bacchione said he hopes to secure state or federal funding for mitigation projects.

“These coastal storms are becoming more frequent, and we need to look for long term solutions.”

Bayview Avenue in particular was covered in water. This is not new. If you do a search of Bayview Avenue, one of the photos that comes up on Google is of the road being flooded in April of 2018.

Councilman James Byrnes has been trying to get federal money to deal with this recurring problem. It used to be that every three years or so, Bayview would flood. Now, it’s a lot more frequent. This is an evacuation route and the main way for emergency vehicles to get to residents in those neighborhoods. If someone is having a medical episode, this could be a life or death situation.

He said instead of the county milling this road, they should just build it up the next time it has to be paved.

5 Easy Ways To Detoxify Your Body And Improve Lymph Flow

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Over the past few years, we’ve all found it critical to take care of the body and improve immune function. I think about how critical detoxifying the body is for any kind of illness or symptom.

In a world bustling with toxins lurking in the air we breathe, the food we consume, and the products we use, understanding how to cleanse our bodies naturally is critical to maintaining your health and vibrance. Here are 5 things you can do to keep your body running well: 1. Drink more! Hydration not only keeps you refreshed but also helps flush out toxins from your system. You can increase hydration with water by putting a shake of sea salt in it (because salt contains electrolytes), or just use a quality brand of electrolyte powder and stir it into the water. You can also put a splash of pomegranate juice in your water to add some antioxidants. Your kidneys filter the fluid in your body and send toxins to the toilet.

2. Eat better. Eating a diet that is free of refi ned foods and includes brightly colored fruits and vegetables is crucial for detoxification. Since I keep a pretty clean keto diet, I want to emphasize the importance of protein, whether that is fish, meat or some plant-based alternative.

Protein is needed for muscles as well as a happy mood, the process of methylation, and strong bones.

3. Don’t be afraid to sweat! Your skin and your pores are one gateway to releasing stored toxins. Your kidneys are another.

So, engaging in exercise that makes you break a sweat is another fantastic way to support your body’s natural detoxification processes. Whether it’s dancing like no one’s watching, doing power yoga, or jogging, don’t be afraid to sweat. The sweat that occurs flushes out toxins through your skin.

4. Support your liver. Your liver is the unsung hero of detoxification. We only hear about the liver if it gets damaged from medication or overuse of alcohol.

Supporting its function is crucial for a healthy body and healing from any disease. You can do that by reducing alcohol intake, toxins, environmental pollutants, and hepatotoxic substances. You can also take supplements that support liver health.

5. Breathe deeply. When was the last time you took a deep breath? Has it been a few minutes or a few days? For some of you, it might be a few years now! Stop what you’re doing and breathe in deeply.

Take another ‘sip’ at the top and hold it.

Count down from 10 and exhale. How does that feel? Can you do it again? It probably feels really great! With each exhalation, you are releasing a few toxins through your lungs.

While we’ve covered several key aspects of detoxification, it’s important to listen to your body’s needs and consult with a healthcare professional before embarking on any detox program. If you’d like to read along version of this article and get a few more tips, visit my website suzycohen.com.

How Are Hearing And Cognition Related To Each Other?

We HEAR with our ears and LISTEN with our brain. Our brain plays a significant role in our ability to hear.

With untreated hearing loss, you have to work harder to make sense of what people are saying. This is called having a higher “cognitive load”.

Having a higher “cognitive load” can affect your memory and how you process information.

Be empowered to make changes!

Lifestyle factors can impact cognitive impairment. Address these risk factors: • Hearing Loss • Vision Loss • Medication Side Effects • Vitamin B12 Deficiency • Diabetes • Cardiovascular Issues • Sleep Disorders

• Poor Lifestyle Choices • Brain Fog • Sports that Impact the Head Stress Your Hearing Healthcare Professional’s assessment includes a cognitive screening that will help you understand how you are processing information, organizing your thoughts, and remembering things.

What Will Happen When You Call?

You will be referred to personnel from the appropriate school that will consult with you and answer any questions you may have. If appropriate, your child’s teacher will be contacted and a conference may be scheduled to discuss the matter. Your child may receive services through the Response to Intervention (RTI) process, which may include interventions in the classroom and support/instruction from other relevant specialists. You also have the right to request an evaluation for special education and related services by sending a written request for an evaluation to your child’s principal.

Include your child’s name, age, address and area of suspected or known disability.

After receiving your written request, the district’s child study team has twenty days to have a meeting with you, the parent(s).

At this meeting, you and the team will decide if an evaluation is needed and what the evaluation will include.

The ultimate goal of this referral process is to ensure that your child is given every opportunity to have a successful learning experience in his/her school.

One Of The Longest Migrations Of Any Known Mammal

By Renee A. Thomaier Retired New Jersey Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator The freezing Alaskan waters would force food supplies of larger marine mammals to move to warmer waters. One of those mammals would travel as much as 14,000 miles a year. Around October, gray whales leave the eastern pacific waters of Alaska to embark on their migration, leaving their feeding grounds to arrive at their mating grounds – the Baja peninsula of Mexico and the southern Gulf of California. The migration takes about two to three months to complete.

Pregnant females usually arrive fi rst, in order to secure protection for the young they were about to give birth to. Predators such as sharks and killer whales would threaten the defenseless young. Mother whales can only do so much to protect them against the threats. Whales fortunate to be migrating in pods (groups) will likely be better able to defend themselves and any young. A mother migrating with her baby hasn’t eaten in nearly 6 months while nursing her calf all that time. She is hungry and exhausted by the time she arrives to her feeding destination.

Those females who were not pregnant arrive early eagerly seeking a partner. In March, females that have mated would likely begin their migration back to their feeding grounds in the eastern pacific.

Pregnant mothers and females that have just given birth would begin the journey home to the eastern pacific around April/May. Whales that do not migrate from their

feeding grounds, choosing to stay all year long, will likely end up feeling isolated and lonely for several months. They might experience difficult times dealing with cold temperatures and threats that exist in the colder waters.

Those choosing to stay in their mating grounds all year could experience some difficulties finding sufficient food

sources they would usually find in their feeding grounds.

The average gestation period of the gray whale is just over 13 months. The gray whale’s average lifespan is 50 – 70 years. Fully mature whales can weigh as much as 40 tons.

tistics may vary slightly. To reach me please call 732-244-2768.

Inside The Law Identifying Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect

Michael J. Deem, Esq.

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

The first snow at the Jersey Shore in over 700 days happened earlier this week. This puppy named Jackson was out enjoying it before it turned to rain. The photo was sent in by Julia Wilkens, Micromedia’s layout designer. We want your pix!! Email photos@jerseyshoreonline.com and you may win a prize!

Nursing Home Abuse can take many forms. It can be intentional, visible, obvious or it can be more subtle-abuse through neglect and general lack of care on the part of nursing home staff. Abuse can be physical, emotional, fi nancial, or even sexual. Each of these takes a heavy toll on any person, but nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect can be especially hard on the elderly -- some of the most vulnerable members of our society. Whatever form nursing home abuse takes, it is urgent that you and your loved one open a dialogue about this extraordinarily sensitive topic.

Communication is necessary to end the abuse and let the healing begin.

The fi rst step in opening a dialogue is identifying suspected abuse. There are many signs of nursing home abuse that you can look for. The fi rst sign you may notice is a change in behavior. The emotional effects that often accompany abuse can manifest as sluggishness or depression, a lack of enthusiasm for things your loved one once enjoyed, or even a loss of interest in visits. The change in attitude can be significant and sudden, or it may be subtle and prolonged. The most important thing is to be observant and notice if the change is taking place on any level.

Of course, it is also possible that signs of abuse will be far more apparent.

Physical signs of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect can take the form of bruises, sores, cuts, scars, or any similar injuries. These may be from

simple accidents, but if there is anything suspicious about the injury, the problem should be addressed immediately. Suspicious signs might include a reluctance to talk about how the injury occurred or claiming not to remember the cause. Even more obvious signs are bedsores which are a common signs of nursing home neglect. They are painful and, if infected, can be potentially lethal.

Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed.

The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked, and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse.

When abuse or neglect are identified or suspected it is important to notify the authorities and contact a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer to discuss your legal rights.

Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of the local authorities and your attorney.

Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death.

Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways.

If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect, call the trial attorney’s at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Radiothon Raises $72,231 For JBJ Soul Kitchen

FREEHOLD – WWZY 107.1 The Boss hosted its 6thAnnual Mistletoe Rock Radiothon to benefit JBJ Soul Kitchen, a non-profit community restaurant, run by the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. The fundraiser was presented by Ashley, America’s number one furniture and mattress store, and powered by Hutchins HVAC. It took place on Friday December 8th, 2023, at Freehold Raceway Mall and JBJ Soul Kitchen locations in Red Bank and Toms River and raised $72,231 for the foundation this year.

JBJ Soul Kitchen seeks to provide locally sourced, 3-course meals to both paying and in-need customers in a warm and welcoming restaurant setting.

Since opening, the organization has strived to address food insecurity by serving over 170,000 meals with their unique “pay-it-forward” model, where visitors may make a suggested donation for their meal and opt to provide an additional donation to help provide meals for those who are unable to donate. All visitors are welcome despite their ability to donate.

107.1 The Boss’s “Robby and Rochelle in the Morning” kicked off the radiothon at 6am LIVE from Freehold Raceway Mall and were followed

by Michele Amabile, Van Dusen, and various 107.1 The Boss on air personalities who broadcasted live from the mall and JBJ Soul Kitchen’s Red Bank and Toms River locations throughout the day. Interviews were conducted with New Jersey’s very own Jon Bon Jovi, celebrity chef Guy Fieri, volunteers, and patrons of JBJ Soul Kitchen, all who shared their touching stories and mission of JBJ Soul Kitchen in their communities, and more.

“What an incredible day supporting the work the JBJ Soul Kitchens do every day to help those in need across New Jersey,” said Robby Bridges, VP of Programming and co-host of Robby and Rochelle in the Morning. “Thank you to Jon, Lou, Heather, Casey, and the whole team for being incredible partners and to listeners and sponsors of The Boss for their amazing donations! I’m so proud of our Boss Jocks for making it all happen.”

Generous 107.1 The Boss listeners donated in person at all three broadcast locations, via the AJ Perri Phone Bank, and through the New Jersey Natural Gas Online Donation Center. Monthly reoccurring donors were dubbed “Partner in Soul” and received a commemorative t-shirt as a gift for their ongoing

support of the organization, made possible by Builders General Supply Company.

Donors and auction bidders vied for a Jon Bon Jovi autographed guitar, Guy Fieri autographed collectible gift basket, the Bon Jovi 40th Anniversary Collector’s edition of Monopoly autographed

by Jon Bon Jovi, Lunch with Dolores Catania of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, a five-night stay at a vacation home in the Reunion Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, autographed Jack Hughes New Jersey Devils Jersey, Two Night Stay at The Hotel Edison in New York City, Jon Bon Jovi autographed headshot, the Royal Blue Gown worn by Teresa Guidice of the Real Housewives of New Jersey with autographed photo, and more.

In the final hour of the Radiothon, Kohl’s Cares presented a grant to the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation.

This was made through the company’s National Giveback Initiative, where Kohl’s donates grants to selected nonprofits nationwide, demonstrating the organization’s ongoing commitment to health and wellness for families. This generous $25,000 grant will be instrumental in supporting JBJ Soul Kitchen locations in Red Bank and Toms River, New Jersey,

as they continue their mission to address the issues of food insecurity in their communities.

The fundraising efforts culminated on December 13, at the Mistletoe Rock After-Party, hosted by Bar Anticipation in Lake Como. The party was headlined by Super Trans Am, the super seventy’s concert experience, on the Seaview Orthopedics Stage. On-site donations were also collected for JBJ Soul Kitchen. The evening ended with a “big check” presentation by 107.1 The Boss on-air personalities to the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation and JBJ Soul Kitchen, featuring the total amount raised by the campaign.

The 6thAnnual Mistletoe Rock Radiothon was also made possible by Irwin Lincoln & Irwin Mazda, NJR Home Services, Shore Cake Supply, Brookdale Community College, Chocolate Carousel, and Gellman Images.

Since its inception, the 107.1 The Boss Mistletoe Rock Radiothon has raised over $169,000 for local charitable organizations at the Jersey Shore.

OMARR’S ASTROLOGICAL FOR THE WEEK OF JAN 20- JAN 26

BY JERALDINE SAUNDERS FORECAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Competition can be beneficial because you can learn from being forced to do your best to win. Challenges can point out things about yourself which could benefit from improvement. The carrot is tastier than the stick.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep on dreaming. Changes can become a reality if you allow your creative instincts free rein and give it all you’ve got. Learn new skills or dive into fascinating subjects that could realign your life in important ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Most people like extra money but consider asking yourself if you’ve become too focused on the material. You may enjoy a social group but not everyone who calls themselves your friend may your best interests at heart.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Is it quality control or is it criticism? In a job setting, it’s likely QC. Learn what is needed from you and strive to be your best. No need to take anything personally, just learn what you can then let it go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Playing emotional dodgeball isn’t much fun; emotional reactions from family members could leave you perplexed. Deal with what’s on you, otherwise stay in your lane and Avoid the drama by doing something on your bucket list.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Save financial decisions until there’s less temptation to follow the crowd. If you allow a discussion to collapse into a chaotic free-for-all, the positive and constructive tone you want to encourage could be lost.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sheer enthusiasm might lead to some bad decision making. Reevaluate your plans with new eyes because reality could bring different outcomes than might imagine. Anything begun now could be risky, no matter how well organized.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A loved one could be eager for some excitement or a change of pace. If the two of you put your heads together you can cook up some grand plans and goals. Open your mind to embrace new ideas without preconceived notions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your grasp of financial strategies might be muddled by outside input; it could be better to figure out your own game plan and rely on your own instincts. Fulfill promises and meet obligations to gain ground.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Set a good example by doing the right thing at the right time. Those around you may uphold high standards; rise up to the highest level by throwing your whole self into excelling at anything you work on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Invest some thought and energy into conserving and budgeting your money now so that you can be more secure in the future. Friends might share stories of mistakes that may be valuable to you as examples of lessons learned the hard way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Let go of any rigidity and open to play; your desire to get right down to business might not fly if everyone else is in the mood to just have fun.

Be mindful of other people’s feelings and avoid being too calculating.
