MAY-JUNE 2016 WELCOME TO HOWELL MAGAZINE Welcome to our second edition of Howell Magazine. Howell Magazine began as an idea. For years, the Shore News Network has published JTOWN Magazine in Howell and TR Magazine in Toms River. As lifelong residents of Ocean County (Toms River and now Jackson), we came to know and love Howell. Howell is where Jackson residents go to shop, eat dinner, go to the doctor and now, watch movies. I have always felt a synergy between the two communities, but we never imagined we’d be publishing our magazines in Howell. It was at the request of many in the community who either work in Jackson and are familiar with our brand of magazines, along with the businesses in Howell that we decided to launch Howell Magazine. After learning nothing quite like what we do exists in the town, we decided to give it a shot. And here we are. Our magazine is designed to promote all that is good in the community and to support local businesses. The main focus of our magazines is on family and community news, school news, sports and to really be a magazine “For the People, by the People”. We’ve partnered with the very talented Christa Riddle from All About Writing Consulting in Howell who has been writing in our publications in Toms River and Jackson for several years to write the major community features for the magazine. Our readers in other towns love the work Christa does reporting and writing about those towns. Now, she gets to bring it to her hometown. The Magazine, however is only as good as the community that supports it. This publication is yours and we want you to view it as such. It’s about YOU, YOUR neighborhood, YOUR school, YOUR town. We always welcome content submissions from our readers.
We always welcome news tips, photos, articles, whatever you can dream of that would make this a true community magazine all the time. Our focus is on the community. We look at our publications as monthly community “Yearbooks” to capture and memorialize what happens every month in Howell. Each month, as editor, I give the magazine a final review and ask the following questions: 1. Does it promote positive contributions of the town? 2. Does it help at least one local charity? 3. Does it promote academic and athletic achievement for the children in town? 4. Does it give residents any guidance on events or available opportunities. 5. Does it support local business? Once that 5 item checklist is approved and validated, the magazine goes to print.
So now, it’s up to you the residents of Howell to let us know if you would like this magazine each month, free of charge and supported by the wonderful local businesses. If you do, you can: 1. Support the businesses who support this platform. Tell them thank you, take advantage of their offers and tell them you saw them in Howell Magazine. 2. Contribute. Make Howell Magazine yours send us your ideas, your creations and your visions. Contact me at anytime at pstilton@shorenewsnetwork. com. 3. Support the charities we promote here. These people do wonderful work in the community. Help them help those they are seeking to assist. Until next month, please enjoy Howell Magazine and like us on Facebook. Sincerely, Phil Stilton, Editor, SNN.

JERSEY MIKE’S HELPS FIGHTING H.A.R.D IN BATTLE AGAINST CHRONIC CHILDHOOD DISEASE
BY CHRISTA RIDDLE Alexandra and Jonna Crocker of Howell share a bond beyond the typical connections of sisterhood: battling chronic illnesses. Although the girls were diagnosed with different diseases—Alexandra, who goes by Allie, has Crohn’s disease, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and other conditions, and Jonna has a feeding tube due to gastroparesis—both middle schoolers remain loyal to their mission to reassure other children with rare diseases and chronic illnesses that they are not alone. Under the guidance of their parents, Tara and Jon Crocker, Allie and Jonna started the Fighting H.A.R.D. Foundation, a 501c3, in 2015. “Although my husband and I are active in all aspects of the organization, the girls are the heart and soul of Fighting H.A.R.D.,” comments Tara. “They decide on the care packages we send and the projects we fund. They handle most of the social media posts and correspondences and helped create our website. They even run our board meetings!” This May, Fighting H.A.R.D. partnered with Jersey Mike’s of Howell and the Newbury School to raise funds and awareness for the organization, rare diseases, and chronic
illnesses. At Newbury School’s field day on May 19th, student-created posters decorated the school and playground to promote the foundation and its cause. “Each of the students added personal notes about how we fight hard every day in many ways. We wanted the students to understand what Fighting H.A.R.D. is and what it represents. After all, the foundation was founded by two Newbury School graduates, and we are very proud of the Crockers and their dedication to the community,” shares Regina Vrabel, a physical education teacher at Newbury School along with Dan D’Avanzo, who also helped coordinate field day event and its accompanying fundraiser. “Mrs. Vrabel has been a huge supporter of Fighting H.A.R.D. She has been wonderful to our girls throughout the years, going over and beyond time and time again for our family and our foundation,” says Tara. “We also appreciate all of the hard work by Mrs. Vrabel’s daughter, Amanda, who is marketing manager for the Howell Jersey Mike’s. Amanda has been amazing in coordinating this fundraiser, bringing us all together.” Jersey Mike’s and the Newbury School PTA funded special Fight-
ing H.A.R.D. field day t-shirts for students and staff to encourage community awareness of chronic diseases and rare illnesses during field day and beyond. From May 18th through May 20th, Jersey Mike’s donated to Fighting H.A.R.D. 20 percent of the proceeds from every Jersey Mike’s patron coming in to support the event. “Any time we have a chance to give back to our community, we jump at the opportunity! We wouldn’t be here without their support, and we truly feel lucky to live and work in such a unified town,” says Kyle Terry, owner and manager of Jersey Mike’s of Howell. The Howell
Chamber of Commerce has named Jersey Mike’s their 2016 Business of the Year Award honoree due to Jersey Mike’s continuous community support. Funds raised for Fighting H.A.R.D will be used to send care packages to children battling rare diseases or chronic illnesses, many of whom live in the community. The care packages include small gifts, gift cards, or fun projects to do; there are family care packages as well. The foundation also provides financial assistance to families in need and raises awareness for their cause. Continued

Fighting H.A.R.D. “We can’t believe everything the Howell community is doing for Fighting H.A.R.D. To see all of these people and businesses helping us is really great,” shares Allie. “Mrs. Vrabel, Jersey Mike’s, Colonial Coffee Shop, Shivers, Howell Soccer Club, Howell United, Howell Central Little League, Investors Bank, and our schools have all been so wonderful. We are very excited about helping other kids like us to know that they are not alone!” “The Howell Township community’s amazing support provides our children with a sense of hope and strength, and it helps them to see that they can make the world a better place,” remarks Tara. “ To learn more about Fighting H.A.R.D. and its mission, projects, calendar of events, upcoming fundraisers, and donation information, visit www.fightinghardfoundation.org.
OVER 100 DOGS REMOVED FROM “ANIMAL HOARDER” HOME
The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office descended upon a home on Bennett Road after reports of excessive amounts of dogs from the community. The MCSO arrived on scene at what authorities described as extreme animal hoarding case where 100 plus dogs were rescued. The dogs, mostly small in size
were living in inhumane and deplorable conditions. Sheriff Shaun Golden deployed the department’s Field Comm Unit to the site and setup a triage area where the dogs were vaccinated and chipped before being sent to the Monmouth County SPCA or St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center. “Great job to Monmouth County
SPCA Chief Ross Licitra for spearheading the operations and thanks to Sheriff’s Officer Tierney Park who not only conducted Field Comm operations but assisted with rescue of animals and vaccinations as well as provided additional Haz Mat protective gear,” the department said. St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, the Associated Humane Society, Howell Township Police Department& Monmouth County Health Department assisted in the recovery. Howell Police had to provide traffic services while vehicles, pet carriers and a makeshift triage area were set up in front of the home. At the time of published, it was not reported if charges had been filed against the homeowner.

HELPING HANDS ART SHOW A SUCCESS BY CHRISTA RIDDLE “The Helping Hands Art Show was a great success for our students, their families, and Howell PAL. The artists created many excellent pieces that the public gladly purchased, and this support benefited the artists as well as our program,” says Chris Hill, Howell PAL executive director. “I would like to give special thanks to the artists, their families, and all of the volunteers who work with these artists every week as part of our Helping Hands Art and Exercise Program. Without Colleen Hordichuk, Lori Alexander, and Christine Baier-Kenduck, none of this would happen.” During their seasonal art galleries held at various locations throughout the year, Helping Hands students proudly display and sell their artwork to the public. Hordichuk, Alexander, and Baier-Kenduck have over 40 years of combined experience in special
education. After witnessing the struggles students with autism and developmental disabilities face when transitioning to full-time community life after high school, the trio created the Helping Hands Art and Exercise Program. In a comfortable environment, high school and adult students participate in a weekly two-hour session that helps develop social, cognitive, emotional, and physical awareness. During each session, students engage in art lessons, life skills activities, exercise, and socialization, under the direction of their passionate, enthusiastic, and highly-skilled instructors. Visit www.helpinghands.org to learn more about the program and its founders, as well as to view participants’ published writing and art.

HOWELL SOFTBALL STAR TO BEING WEST POINT TRAINING THIS MONTH
BY ERIC MEANY This summer is going to be a little bit different for Vivian Paige Montgomery. The Howell High School senior, (#13) who has flourished as a fouryear starter on the school’s softball team, will receive her diploma at commencement on June 23. But while many of her fellow graduates will have time to enjoy the summer before embarking on their post-high-school endeavors, Montgomery will begin the next phase of her life within days. June 27 is Reception Day at the United States Military Academy at West Point, kicking off the seven-week Cadet Basic Training program more commonly referred to as “Beast Barracks.” The physically demanding summer session is designed to prepare Montgomery and other students with appointments to the Academy for life as cadets. Montgomery has wanted to serve her country for as long as she can remember, but the edict from her parents was that she would have to attend college before joining the military. When she found out that West Point had a softball team, Montgomery, who led the Shore Conference with a .609 batting average during her junior year, re-
alized she may have found a loophole that would allow her to do both at the same time. “My father is a Marine, so it was a bumpy beginning trying to explain why I wanted to go into the Army,” Montgomery said. “But the minute that I stepped on that campus it felt like home.” Her softball success at Howell ensured that Montgomery had many options when it came to selecting a college. But choosing to play for coach Michelle DePolo at the Academy was ultimately an easy decision to make.
“I had a couple of offers that I considered,” Montgomery said. “I visited campuses and spoke to those coaches regularly. But in my heart I knew that the only place for me was West Point.” Montgomery will be joining a strong team at the Academy, where this year the Black Knights set a program record for victories in a season and finished second in the recently completed Patriot League Championship Tournament. DePolo, a graduate of Red Bank Regional High School and Georgian Court University, has led Army to the postseason in each of her seven years as head coach. “She’s a natural leader both on and off the field,” DePolo said of Montgomery. “Overall, she’s a very mature and impressive young woman who does it all. She’s always working in the athletic venue, shines in the classroom and is very well-rounded in her extracurricular activities. She fits the mold for a great cadet.” As the starting catcher for Howell during the past four years, Montgomery provided abundant leadership to go with potent offensive production for coach Tricia Savino. Her value to the team was never more evident than after a broken arm cut short her spectacular junior season at playoff time last year.
Immediately following the injury, the Rebels suffered losses that eliminated them from the Shore Conference Tournament and the NJSIAA Group 4 Central Tournament on consecutive days. “Our team is built around power, with her being the star of the lineup,” Savino said. “When those numbers disappear from the stats, it’s hard to keep that momentum up. We just didn’t have that fear in the heart of our lineup for pitchers to worry about.” After a lengthy healing process caused her to miss the entire summer and fall travel seasons, Montgomery had a productive April for the Rebels. She collected three hits in the opening-day win over Manalapan, had four hits as Howell fell to Marlboro and hit a double and a home run against Donovan Catholic. But after compiling a .426 average with seven doubles and 16 RBIs, Montgomery sat out the last few games of the Rebels regular-season schedule as she received physical therapy to strengthen her arm. With her high-school playing career nearly over, Montgomery can now begin looking forward to what the future has to offer. West Point graduates are commissioned as second lieutenants in the Army and must spend a minimum of five years on active duty. That’s fine by Montgomery, who wasn’t thinking about the short term when she made her college decision. “One of the happiest days in my life was when coach DePolo called me and we talked about what I really wanted out of life,” Montgomery said. “I love softball, but when she asked ‘is it about the next four years or the next 40?’ I knew for me it was all about the next 40.”

The council members awarded roclaimations to Paint the Town Pink, Paint the Town Purple / Relay for Life and to recognize National Police Week, National Public Works Week and National Police Week.

a great place,” the student council said. The council held a brief public forum session, answering questions from the public. Howell Township has been hosting the event for the past 35 years to recognize student government day. “You don’t just have great kids, you have great kids, well spoken and articulate,” Mayor William Gotto said to the student’s families. “They know as much about Howell Township as the residents I see every day. They weren’t afraid to voice their concerns. They told me what they thought I was doing right. They told me what they thought I was doing wrong.”

WOMAN, DOG PERISH IN FREEWOOD ACRES HOME FIRE On May, 31 at approximately 230 pm, Howell Police Communications received 9-1-1 calls reporting a house fire on West 5th Street in the Freewood Acres section. Upon arrival of emergency services, heavy fire was observed at the rear of the residence. Entry was made by the Freewood Acres and Southard Fire Deparments as it was reported the resident may be inside. Tragically, it was discovered that a fifty year old female perished in the fire along with her dog. The investigation is currently being conducted by detectives from the Howell Township Police Department and the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office as well as investigators from the Monmouth County Fire Marshall’s Office and Howell Township Fire Bureau. At this time the cause of the fire is unknown. Although it is early in
the investigation, there is no evidence of suspicious activity at this time. The identity of the deceased and exact address of the fire is being withheld at this time pending notification of family members. The Southard, Squankum and Adelphia Fire Departments of Howell also assisted at the scene as well as Jackson Fire Department-Station 55. Howell First Aid and Howell Police EMS were on scene as well.
POLICE: FLIPPING BIRD CAUSED FLIPPING CRASH
Howell police said this flipped over wreck was caused by flipping “the bird”. On May 31st, police responded to the scene of a single car crash on Huses Road. “Despite how bad this looks, the 54 year-old Howell resident was very fortunate to only receive minor injuries,” Howell Police Chief Andrew Kudrick said. “He extricated himself from the vehicle prior to the arrival of emergency service.” According to a witness, the driver
of this vehicle illegally passed him on Hulses Road. While doing so, he gave the witness “the finger”. He then lost control of his 1988 Corvette, left Hulses Road and flipped over onto a residents front yard. He was subsequently arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, and other motor vehicle offenses. “Fortunately, no one else was injured by his poor decisions,” Kudrick added.
Police said heroin was being sold out of this residence - until June 2nd, when officers from the Howell Police Patrol Division and Crime Suppression Unit ruined their day upon executing a search warrant after a monthlong investigation. As a result, residents Cynthia Garrison (55) and her boyfriend Joseph Calascione (26) were arrested for possession and distribution of heroin and possession
of drug paraphernalia. Two other subjects inside the residence were charged with drug-related disorderly person offenses. Cash suspected of being associated in the sale of the narcotics was also seized. Both Garrison and Calascione were admitted to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution in default of $20,000 bail set by the Honorable Judge Clark.

H E A LT H & M E D I C I N E ADVERTISEMENT
By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer Jersey Shore - If you suffer with painful knee arthritis, the next 72 hours may be extremely important to you. Here is why: If you are like most seniors... you worked hard your whole life. You sacrificed. You did without. You paid your dues. You may have even fought for and helped build your country. Now it’s time to get a little back. It’s time for YOU. It’s time to enjoy the life you built and do all the things you deserve. But retirement came with ONE BIG PROBLEM. For many, the pain and stiffness of knee arthritis has destroyed the golden years. Robbing seniors of all their hopes and dreams. Well let me tell you two things that are abundantly clear... It’s Not Fair And It’s Not Your Fault And it’s not the way you imagined it would be. Well, thank goodness... Due to advances in medical science, technology and treatments, seniors are now eliminating pain, re-claiming their youth... and living the
REAL retirement dream. And for many, knee arthritis pain has already become a thing of the past. Things have changed. One such advanced medical treatment for knee arthritis is called viscosupplementation. And viscosupplementation has already helped thousands in the Jersey Shore area for three very important reasons. Reason #1: It Works Viscosupplementation is an advanced medical treatment w h e r e trained doctors put special FDA-app r o v e d lubricating medicines directly into the arthritic knee joint. These lubricating substances are all-natural, but manufactured by pharmaceutical companies and cleared by the FDA to make sure you get the highest They are NOT unregulated over- the-counter supplements that could literally contain just about ANYTHING. There are several different types of lubricating fluids available and when the right one is introduced into your arthritic knee, the results for many people, can be won-
derful. It is not uncommon to relieve pain and stiffness within just a few weeks and the results often last for 6 months. More for many. And a second round of treatments is believed to have a cumulative effect and often works better than the first - leading to years with less pain. Reason #2: Doctor’s Focusing In Advanced Knee Arthritis Treatments In Wall, NJ In 2009, the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute introduced viscosupplementation to their cutting-edge medical facility located in Wall, New Jersey. During those several years, the experts at Osteo Relief have not only helped thousands in the Jersey Shore area...they have perfected the “Osteo Relief Method.” The Osteo Relief Method
combines viscosupplementation with advanced diagnostic imaging to achieve the best possible results. This special digital imaging allows doctors to see into the arthritic knee joint and deliver the special lubricating gel medicine EXACTLY where it needs to be. This also allows the procedure to be virtually painless. Research has shown that there is a 30% chance the lubricating fluid can miss the joint space without this advanced digital imagining so Osteo Relief Institute has spared no expense to offer patients the best possible chance to eliminate their pain. Osteo Relief Institute also offers several different joint lubricating gels. Every patient is individual and the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have found that using a different joint lubricating gel is often the key to success.

Too often, doctors either miss the joint completely because they do not have the proper imaging... or they only use one joint lubricating gel that is not right for you. Making sure the right joint lubricating gel actually goes where it is sup-posed to can make all the difference... and can get results when others have failed. This is why knee arthritis pain sufferers travel from all over the country to be treated at the Osteo Relief Headquarters in Wall, New Jersey. Reason #3: Treatment Is Covered By Medicare And Other Insurance Medical care can be expensive. And, sadly, that cost often keeps good, hard working people from getting the treatment they need and deserve. The good news is: the treatments offered at Osteo Relief Institute...because they are real researched procedures... are covered by Medicare and most other insurance companies. This has opened the doors and allowed count-less knee
pain sufferers in the Jersey Shore area to get the best possible care without going broke in the process. That’s why the experts at Osteo Relief are offering a special knee screening. This knee
screening is open to anyone in the Jersey Shore area with knee pain who would like to see if the advanced medical procedures offered at Osteo Relief Institute can help you. This screening is no obliga-
