By Daniel Nee and Catherine Galioto LACEY – Officials are finalizing plans to rebuild Bayfront Park, nearly four years after it was destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.

The park, located on Barnegat Bay near the eastern end of Beach Boulevard, suffered heavy damage in the storm. At its September 8 meeting, township committee approved a $281,110 contract to buy new equipment for the park. The renovations are being funded through a $1.4 million grant

Coyote Sightings Frequent, But Not Uncommon This Summer

By Courtney McCann OCEAN COUNTY – For fans of Looney Tunes, the coyote is an animal that calls the desert home and spends its time chasing extremely large and fast birds.

But as local residents are quickly becoming aware, coyotes are actually very common in New Jersey. This summer several Ocean and Monmouth County towns have reported coyote sightings,

The Service of Remembrance and Celebration was led by Reverend Linda Applegate, assisted by Reverend Terry Chapman, and Reverend Lou Saldiveri.

The remembrance opened with a Presentation of Colors, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, and Opening Prayers. In addition to songs from The Merilee Singers, presenters included Lacey Township Mayor Steven Kennis, Deputy Mayor Peter Curatolo and Police Chief Michael C. DiBella, as well as a poem from the American Legion.

Long Beach Township’s form of government is rarely used in New Jersey. The three-member Board of Commissioners acts as the township’s governing body, setting policy at monthly meetings and taking votes in the same manner as a council or committee in most other municipalities.

Coyote:

Continued From Page 1

Crest Boulevard and Paynters Road.

Last year, Berkeley Township and South Toms River issued alerts after residents encountered aggressive coyotes around South Toms River elementary school and in Holiday City neighborhoods.

These incidents have led other towns to issue alerts to residents and advise them what to do in the event of a coyote sighting in their area.

But while the growing number of reports may seem unusual, Larry Hajna, spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) said it’s actually quite common to hear about coyote sightings in the Garden State.

“Coyotes are part of our landscape here in New Jersey,” Hajna said. “They’re found in virtually every type of environment we have in the state, including suburban and urban areas.”

Beaches:

an island-wide dune and beach berm.

“Our team is aware of the significant erosion in Holgate,” said Stephen Rochette, spokesman for the Army Corps’ Philadelphia district, which is in charge of the ongoing project. “Erosion was quickened because we were unable to build the full engineered taper due to proximity

The Southern Ocean Times, September 17, 2016, Page 5 As far as the number of sightings being reported this summer, Hajna said that while the DEP has not seen a significant surge in the coyote population, the number of coyotes has steadily increased from year to year, as they do not have natural predators in the area. And while they can be hunted, there is not a lot of interest in coyotes from the hunting community.

Coyotes also tend to travel in groups that move from one community another, Hajna said, which would explain why a number of coyotes seem to be popping up in the same region at once.

“And there’s also more awareness on the parts of the community and local law enforcement,” said Hajna. “So more towns are reporting sightings and putting out information to residents.”

There is some benefit to having coyotes in the area, as they help to keep the rodent population under control by hunting and eating mice, rabbits and other small animals. But they can also present danger, in

some rare cases attacking domestic pets or even small children.

According to Wall Township Police Public Information Officer Lieutenant Greg Carpino, the township has not had any more sightings since August. But police are continuing to raise the level of awareness about coyotes in their community.

“We are very proactive with public information, particularly information that pertains to the safety of our community,” Carpino said.

The DEP recommends that residents follow these guidelines to avoid conflicts with coyotes: Never feed a coyote. Deliberately feeding coyotes puts pets and other residents in the neighborhood at risk.

Feeding pet cats and/or feral (wild) cats outdoors can attract coyotes. The coyotes feed on the pet food and also prey upon the cats.

Put garbage in tightly closed containers that cannot be tipped over.

Remove sources of water, especially in

dry climates.

Bring pets in at night.

Put away bird feeders at night to avoid attracting rodents and other coyote prey.

Provide secure enclosures for rabbits, poultry, and other farm animals.

Pick up fallen fruit and cover compost piles.

Although extremely rare, coyotes have been known to attack humans. Parents should monitor their children, even in familiar surroundings, such as backyards.

Install motion-sensitive lighting around the house.

Clear brush and dense weeds from around dwellings - this reduces protective cover for coyotes and makes the area less attractive to rodents and rabbits. Coyotes, as well as other predators, are attracted to areas where rodents are concentrated like woodpiles.

If coyotes are present, make sure they know they’re not welcome. Make loud noises, blast a canned air siren, throw rocks, or spray them with a garden hose.

to the Reserve and for environmental reasons.”

The taper in the dune line helps prevents the ocean’s power from being directed to a single area, in essence preventing a certain location from receiving excess damage from a storm system.

The future of the area, mainly centered around bulkheads at the southernmost portion of the neighborhood, is unclear.

“We are currently coordinating with the

state and looking at all options to help address the issue,” said Rochette.

The same area was severely affected by the January 2016 nor’easter, which pummeled the area with similar beach erosion. After that storm, Long Beach Township trucked in about 600 dump truck loads of sand.

The beach replenishment project is still progressing in other portions of the island.

The dredge boat Liberty Island was com-

pleting dune-building in the Beach Haven Park section of Long Beach Township and the boats Padre Island and Dodge Island were working in the area of Beach Haven Gardens. Replenishment in North Beach, Harvey Cedars and Loveladies was completed in late August.

According to the Army Corps, dredge boats will repump sand into the Haven Beach section of Long Beach Township through a pipe landing at 81st Street.

Editorial Local Summer

Yes, during the summer, the beaches are crowded, boardwalks noisy, roads are congested and nightlife is wild. But the Jersey Shore has so much more to offer, and that’s especially true of that time of year referred to as Locals’ Summer, the weeks after Labor Day. The crowds may have thinned but the weather is just as nice. The waves are rolling and the sun is shining, although the pumpkin spice is back at the coffee shop – it’s a unique time of year at the Jersey Shore, and one that is ripe for enjoyment.

Whether a giant slice or a creamsicle twist, the classic summer choices can still be found (and often year-round) on the boardwalks, which this time of year are hosting a variety of free festivals celebrating the season: the Beach Plum Festival at Island Beach State Park, Seafood Fest in Point Pleasant Beach, down to the Columbus Day Festival in Seaside Heights come October.

The beach and the boards aren’t the only areas to enjoy: this is home to many parks and recreation areas offering a wide variety of

activities for the family.

Nature hikes, lighthouses, playgrounds, open spaces, camping, to name a few.

And don’t forget about the natural gem that is the Barnegat Bay and the countless opportunities for fun that it provides. Go seining, boating, fishing or crabbing, or of course, swimming. The possibilities are endless when it comes to recreation here.

If you travel to the western side of the county, you can see why New Jersey is known as The Garden State. Acres upon acres of farmland abound, growing everything from corn to tomatoes to strawberries and blueberries. So take the family for a drive to a U-pick farm and pick up some Jersey Fresh produce for supper. You will be supporting local farmers plus the kids will have a blast.

While the tourism economy is grateful to the visitors who make their way to the Jersey Shore each summer, there is so much more available to experience at the Jersey Shore than meets the visitor’s eye. Enjoy Local Summer now before the sun sets on this wonderful time of year.

Letters To The Editor Thank You For Your Service It is with a heavy heart that I would like to reflect on the tragic loss of the five brave police officers of the Dallas Police Department that went to work in the mor ning, knowing they were going to be in harm’s way when protecting protesters’ rights to assemble and their free speech under the First Amendment.

The officers would not have known they would not be coming home to their wives and children when they were assassinated by a ruthless gunman who acted with the intention of killing white police officers.

These officers had no chance against the type of assault weapon and armor-piercing rounds the gunman used; the ammunition went through their bulletproof vests. I think that these types of weapons should be banned for the protection of all people.

However, I do respect the Second Amendment under the Constit ution of the United States that gives citizens the right to bear arms.

After watching the graphic images of the shootings in Baton Rouge and St. Paul, I could see why people were outraged and I feel that all lives matter regardless if you are white, black, Hispanic, Asian or any other ethnic group.

We need a kinder and gentler world where people can have the expectation of going to work and not be in harm’s way. We are

all God’s children, and we need peace on earth and good will to all men and women.

In less than one month, three more officers lost their lives in Baton Rouge.

What Is An Aquifer Sometimes in the summer the heat index is in the triple digits. It is also the time when grass goes dormant.

However, there are so many people on the East Coast who defy this natural consequence of summer and water their yards every day, sometimes for a complete hour. The justif ication is that this is free water coming from a personal well and so they have the right to do this.

Meanwhile, in so many parts of the United States water is not free. In fact, it is almost nonexistent due to years of severe drought.

“So what?” some people say. “That doesn’t concern us.”

However, it wasn’t too long ago that part of New Jersey also suffered from a d rought and it could happen again.

Additionally, there are places in New Jersey that have dried up wells and some even have salt water in them.

Therefore, having a personal well does not guarantee it will always have

Back To School Food With the new school year starting, parents’ to-do lists are now filled with shopping for school clothes, school supplies and school food.

That’s right – school food!

In past years, our nation’s schools were used by the USDA as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. It is neither a surprise nor coincidence that one-third of our children have become overweight or obese. Such dietary mistakes at an early age become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Then came President Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requiring double the servings of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, less sodium and fat, and no meat for breakfast. The guidelines are supported by 86 percent of Americans.

Most U.S. school districts now offer vegetarian options. More than 120 schools including the entire school districts of Balti-

more, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Philadelphia and San Diego have implemented Meatless Monday. Some schools have dropped meat from their menu altogether.

As parents, we need to involve our own children and school cafeteria managers in promoting healthy, plant-based foods in our own schools.

Going online and searching for “vegetarian options in schools” provides lots of good resources.

Epipen Prices As a pharmacist for 58 years I have seen what has happened to drug prices since the begin ning of insu rance coverage for prescriptions. The price of Epipen has gone from hardly nothing when introduced to $615 for two pens.

Why? Because insurance will pay.

Because the public could not afford the about-$100 copays, they give you a coupon for the copay.

T he y k now for s u r e that if insurance did not pay they would be out of business.

This is happening with hundreds of medications.

The public couldn’t care less as long as someone else is paying: employers and higher premiums.

Connors, Rumpf And Gove Want SouthSTAR Emergency Helicopter Transport Restored For South Jersey

NEW JERSEY – Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove are calling for the reinstatement of SouthSTAR, the unit of the Jersey Emergency Medical Shock Trauma Air Rescue providing emergency transpor t to southern New Jersey for trauma patients through the use of medically equipped helicopters.

Connors, Rumpf and Gove sent the following letter to New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner

Cathleen D. Bennett regarding SouthSTAR and the delegation’s deepening concern that South Jersey residents are being treated disparately as compared to North Jersey residents: This outreach is to emphasize our Delegation’s deepening concerns that the unit of the Jersey Emergency Medical Shock Trauma Air Rescue assigned to South Jersey, SouthSTAR, has ceased providing emergency transport for trauma patients through the use of medically-equipped helicopters.

Despite the unforeseen ci rcu mst ances that led to the discontinuation of SouthSTAR services, there is an obvious and urgent need to take corrective action in the interest of public safety for those affected.

While we recognize that the use of private helicopter service by medical facilities has increased over the past several years, the present situation continues to raise significant alarm for a number of our constituents fearful that lifesaving medical services will be unavailable to them.

Adding to the level of discontentment among South Jersey residents is that the NorthSTAR service remains operational to service North Jersey residents.

Justifiably, our constituents take issue with not only the loss of service, but by the continuance of a state-imposed surcharge on motor vehicle registrations that is dedicated to this service to which they are no longer entitled to simply due to living in the southern part of the state.

There is a compelling argument that the South-

STA R ser v ice is more critically needed in South Jersey given South Jersey’s more rural geography. Helicopter transport may be in greater demand for persons requiring emergency medical care on account of the greater distances to medical facilities as compared to the northern part of the state which is more urbanized.

To the extent that our constituency is being underserved and treated disparately, we are, accordingly, calling on the state to reinstate the SouthSTAR

service and thereby filling the existing gap in emergency medical helicopter services for South Jersey residents. Reinstating this service would be consistent with the Department’s commitment to ensuring that all residents, regardless of where they live in the state, have access to critical medical services.

Thank you, in advance, for your attention to this important communication.

As always, we look forward to working jointly with you in service to the people of the 9th Legislative District.

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: Fairness For Our Hospitals Act Would Bring Medicare Reimbursements For Rural NJ Hospitals In Line With Those In Other States Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.-03) and Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) announced a legislative fix for New Jersey hospitals in rural communities being denied equitable Medicare reimbursement rates. This will allow Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Burlington County to continue its mission of providing patients with access to high-quality care.

“The care Deborah provides for our residents is among the best in the nation, and I’m pleased to partner

with Senator Menendez on this important legislative fix to ensure Deborah can continue providing state-of-theart health care and services to our community,” said MacArthur. “Our bipartisan legislation will make sure rural hospitals like Deborah, are never punished for serving the seniors in our communities.”

“The legislation we’re announcing today is a continuation of the work I’ve done throughout my entire tenure in the United States Senate on behalf of New Jersey’s hospitals and the patients they serve,” said Menendez. “Deborah’s mission of providing the best cardiac, pulmonary and vascular care—while never once billing a patient—is

the model of what a hospital should be, and I will continue my efforts to ensure the Medicare program doesn’t discriminate against hospitals in New Jersey and other all-urban states. I’ve been working closely with Deborah and the Department of Health and Human Services for years to ensure they’re not unfairly penalized due to the fact New Jersey is an all-urban state. This legislation will ensure that federal law equitably recognizes our hospitals.”

The Fairness for Our Hospitals Act would close an unfair loophole in federal law that prevents rural hospitals in smaller states, like New Jersey, from receiving fair Medicare reimbursement levels from the Medi-

care Dependent Hospital Program.

New Jersey is designated as one of only three “all-urban” states, along with Delaware and Rhode Island. As a result, local hospitals that would otherwise qualify, like Deborah, are denied additional Medicare reimbursements; this inequality is unfair and against the intent and goals of the Medicare program.

To qualify for rural MDH payments, the hospital must be in a rural area; have 100 or fewer beds during the cost reporting period; cannot already be classified as

Sole Community Hospital (another rural-only hospital designation); and at least 60% of its patients use Medicare.

Deborah is a not-for-profit specialty hospital dedicated to cardiac and pulmonary care located in the heart of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens.

It accepts Medicare and other insurance, but has traditionally provided its patients with high-quality care at zero out-of-pocket expense.

“We are thankful that our representatives in Congress have championed our cause,” said Deborah

President and CEO Joseph Chirichella. “Taking action to right this wrong will help Deborah to continue to care for the large number of Medicare patients that come to us from our surrounding rural areas.”

MacArthur and Menendez introduced The Fairness for Our Hospitals Act in their respective Houses in July. It is cosponsored

by Reps. Pascrell, Jr. and John Carney (D-Del.) in the House of Representatives and Sens. Booker, Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Christopher Coons (D-Del.) in the Senate.

REDUCING CATARACT RISK WITH DIET

As we all know, one of the best ways to reduce the risk of developing cataracts is to wear sunglasses and wear broad-brimmed hats that shield the eyes from damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. Another way to prevent the eye lens from clouding involves making a slight adjustment to our diets. Research involving sets of twins over a period of ten years shows that consuming diets rich in vitamin C was associated with a 33% reduction in risk of cataract development. It is thought that vitamin C’s ability to inhibit eye lens opacity is based on its strength as an antioxidant. The fluid inside the eyeball is normally high in vitamin C content, which helps prevent oxidation and lens cloudiness.

Should you change your diet? At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., we stress preventive eye health care and periodic checkups by your ophthalmologist.

Regular medical eye exams may help prevent unnecessary vision loss. We are committed to providing exceptional vision correction services and making our patients’ comfort, safety, and satisfaction our top priorities. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an appointment. Your eyesight is priceless! Let us help you protect it!

Community Center Receives Scholarship Program Money

LONG BEACH TOWNSHIP – St. Francis Community Center has been awarded $22,500 for a Reading Intervention Project and Summer Scholarship Program by OceanFirst Foundation of Toms River. St. Francis Community Center is located at 4700 Long Beach Blvd.

The Reading Intervention Project will ensure all children attending the Children Services Child Care and Pre-School Programs,

regardless of social or economic status will enter formal school with the skills deemed necessary by the Department of Education.

The grant monies will be used to train teachers to provide effective interventions for children 13 months to five years.

In addition, Children Services also received funding that provided summer scholarships to working families whose children are enrolled in St. Francis Center’s Pre-school

and Child Care Programs. The older children will be able to attend “Vacation Club” while their younger siblings are already in attendance, therefore providing families a safe environment while children are on a summer break.

Katie Opauski, Child Services Director, said “We are very happy with the funding that Ocean First has provided Children’s Services. Early Childhood Education is

not only the foundation for literacy, but the foundation for formal schooling and life skills. To be able to provide the teachers with literacy training will help them refine their literacy skills in the classroom and enhance our curriculum. It also helped with providing scholarships to working families who otherwise would not have been able to pay for their children to attend the summer camp.”

St. Francis Community Center was awarded the first Ocean Foundation Grant in 1997 and since then OceanFirst Foundation has awarded St. Francis Center with 21 grants totaling $436,174.

For more information or information about the Community Center visit stfranciscenterlbi. org or call 609-494-8861.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Treatment Of Dizzy Patients

Dizziness is the third most common complaint to doctors, exceeded only by headaches and lower back pain.

The National Institute of Health and Johns Hopkins’s statistics indicate that dizziness is the number one complaint of patients over age 70. More importantly, dizziness and vertigo can affect people throughout a lifetime and this is clearly represented by the fact that dizziness is the third most commonly reported complaint to physicians.

Dizzy patients often report that they have made several visits to physicians and were told that nothing could be done or that they would simply have to learn to live with their dizziness complaint. If you are experiencing a sensation of vertigo or spinning or unsteadiness when you are walking, I suggest you do the following: Schedule an appointment with an audiologist to have your hearing thor-

oughly evaluated since your hearing and balance mechanisms are closely related.

Specialized testing should be performed to evaluate your inner ear mechanism. Tests may include ENG, electrocochleography and/or computerized dynamic posturography evaluation.

Specialized diagnostic testing can often pinpoint abnormalities in your vestibular system (inner ear), visual system and/or proprioceptive system (muscular skeletal). Quite often, vestibular rehabilitation or balance retraining therapy can either eliminate and/or significantly improve the complaint of dizziness and/or balance dysfunction.

If you or if you know of someone who is suffering from dizziness and/ or balance dysfunction, I suggest that you make an appointment for a thorough diagnostic evaluation.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Antibiotics Can Cause Diabetes, Stomach Problems And Asthma

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

I saw the ugly effects of long-term antibiotics up close when we treated Sam’s bizarre symptoms that we thought were related Lyme disease, which come from tick bites. Lots of you are taking antibiotics now as well, and I want you to know that there’s so much more harm from these drugs than we ever thought possible.

Everyone is aware of the assault that your stomach takes from antibiotics. You might think cramps and diarrhea are bad enough, but at least those are transient problems.

Brand new animal research suggests these drugs trigger Type 1 diabetes, especially when toddlers take them. Keep in mind that back in 2015, a Denmark study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism correlated the use of antibiotics to type 2 diabetes in adults. From all of this, and other research, I think it’s safe to conclude that antibiotic usage increases risk for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Antibiotics are doled out way too easily, and some of them can destroy your nerve fibers forever! If you’re a mom or dad, you don’t need me to tell you that some doctors are pretty quick to prescribe antibiotics for your kids who present with skin rashes, ear aches, sore throats or coughs. But between you and me (and about a million people reading my article today), they are just guessing! They don’t know for sure if the bug is a virus or bacteria!

The antibiotics won’t work if your infection is viral, yet the prescription is handed out almost immediately. I think pediatricians and

Lyme practitioners should rethink prescribing antibiotics in everyone who walks in the door, or at least consider shorter terms of usage.

I saw the overprescribing first-hand when my kids were young, that was 20 plus years ago. Then I saw it again with Sam when he was treated for Lyme. In the United States, statistics show that approximately half of all antibiotic prescriptions written have no therapeutic basis. I personally think this is a gross underestimate.

To hear that their use can trigger a life-long metabolic disorder that requires insulin shots is infuriating. Think of the economic impact on families, and the terrible loss of quality of life. Needle sticks… dietary restrictions, doctor visits forever more. Sadly, reducing diabetic complications becomes the goal, because a cure is difficult (although possible in some cases).

Antibiotics wipe out probiotics, and when your microbiome is lacking friendly bacteria, the hateful ones take over. Then your immune system is compromised. Changes in enzyme production and gene expression occur. This is what ultimately leads to the metabolic disaster, making you way more susceptible to diabetes and all the serious complications like heart disease, amputation, more infections and blindness.

I know some of you take them every day. I just want you to be empowered and make an informed decision with your own physician about antibiotics. Heavy usage may increase your risk of diabetes, allergies, asthma, colitis, Crohn’s and heart disease.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt

Dear Readers As I began to write this week’s column, my assistant brought me today’s letters and I want to address this readers concerns. A woman is heartbroken over an older son (in his 50s) who is not capable of managing money. A sibling had been put in charge, and, after what sounded like much grief, refused to do it any longer.

She is in her 80s and I’m sure she is concerned about the future, perhaps when she passes. I receive many similar letters, but hers touched me in a certain way.

Answer: When there is someone who is incapable of managing their own affairs there are many alternatives. In this case it sounded as if this son was irresponsible with money. Mishandling money often comes with illness. People who are bipolar can have episodes of selling the farm in exchange for luxuries etc.

They are not in a healthy state of mind and are delusional about outcomes and consequences. The same goes for people with addiction issues.

In this Dear Joel letter, it sounded to me as if she at one time managed her

son’s money and then delegated it to another son. They both had enough and will not do it any longer. For all of you who may have similar issues, there are guardians that can be trusted to take on this role. You can start with an elder law attorney or trust and estate lawyer. Banks have departments that for a fee will manage fi nances for those who are not capable. Certain people that we meet at Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing services cannot trust their children and turn these responsibilities over to an attorney or bank or fi nancial planner.

You can also start with social workers which are in abundance here in New Jersey. If there is not enough money to pay for a money manager, there is certainly enough to have a consultation with any of the above. Start somewhere and move in a different direction. Doing the same thing over and over again will accomplish nothing. Best of luck.

Plan:

Continued From Page 1

from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

“We have, in place, a beautiful plan to rebuild this peaceful spot,” said township Committeeman Nicholas Juliano. As it stands now, the park has a parking area and several benches and walkway.

Current plans call for two playground areas – one for children ages two through five, and another for children ages six through 12 – that will include both traditional play equipment as well as exercise-themed equipment similar to what the township has installed at Gille Park.

The renovated park will also feature a gazebo that will measure 32 feet in diameter, which will be linked to an observation deck at the “point” of the park, for an up-close

view of activity on the bay. A new walking path will begin at the park’s main entrance and run the entire length of its south border.

At the September meeting, the committee awarded a contract for the park and playground and a gazebo for Bayfront Park to MRC, with the equipment priced at $231,005 and the gazebo at $53,105.

To protect the park against future storms, said Juliano, devices known as Gabion rock cages will be installed near the current rock breakwater at the site in order to stop wave action from eroding the border of the park in future storms. It will also provide protection from tidal rise.

“This plan has been ready for implication, but required the necessary permit from the state DEP,” said Juliano.

Lacey has recently received “verbal confirmation” that approval will be granted, he said.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Estate Planning For Blended Families

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R. C. Shea and Associates

Some of the hardest Wills to draft are those for persons with “blended families.”

A blended family is a family where one or both spouses each have children from a prior marriage.

In a Will for a traditional family (one where the children are children of both spouses) most Wills will leave all assets to the surviving spouse and upon the death of the surviving spouse to their common children. However, using the same distribution scheme for a blended family may not always work. The issue arises when one of the spouses passes away and leaves all of their assets to the surviving spouse. What happens if the surviving spouse then changes their will to exclude the children of the predeceased spouse?

For example, Harry Husband, who has three children from a prior marriage, marries Wilma Wife, who has two children from a prior marriage. Harry and Wilma have Wills prepared which leave all of their assets to each other and then to the children in equal shares. Harry dies and all of his assets pass to Wilma. Wilma then decides to change her Will to leave all of the combined assets to her two children thus cutting out Harry’s three children from their father’s inheritance.

Upon Wilma’s death Harry’s children will not be happy to learn that they are inheriting nothing from their father.

What could Harry have done in such circumstances to have prevented this? First, Harry could have left some portion of his assets directly to his children upon his death. For example, he could have stated in his Will that 50 percent of his assets go directly to his children and the remaining 50

percent be left to Wilma.

In this way, his children would have inherited Marc S. Galella Esq. their share at the time Harry dies guaranteeing their inheritance. The problem with this method is that Wilma may not be able to continue to live receiving only 50 percent of Harry’s assets.

Another alternative would be that Harry could have left his assets in a trust created in his Will for Wilma’s support during her life and upon her death the remaining balance, if any, to Harry’s children. In this way, Harry could have provided for his wife during her life and his children would inherit any monies left over after Wilma dies. The drawback to this method is that it requires that a trust be established in the Will that creates a more complicated Will and administration after Harry dies.

Finally, Harry and Wilma could have prepared what is referred to as “mutual” or “contract” Wills. These are Wills that, once made, cannot be changed without the written consent of both parties. Thus, once Harry died, Wilma could not change her Will to disinherit Harry’s children, because Harry did not consent to that change. Even this method is not perfect because this may prevent Wilma from making a legitimate change to her Will after Harry dies.

Persons with blended families should talk to an estate planning attorney about how they wish to provide for both their children from a prior marriage and their current spouse in making a Will.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Professional Profile Advance Memory Research Institute of New Jersey

Providing Care And Spreading Awareness For Alzheimer’s Patients And Their Loved Ones

It is commonly accepted as fact that as we age, our memory starts to go … that becoming more forgetful is just a normal part of getting older. Science now tells us that this is not true, that increasing forgetfulness is not a fact of life but a symptom of a larger issue, a disorder, disease or injur y that should be diagnosed and treated when possible.

T he m o st c o mm o n diagnosis for someone experiencing markedly inc r e as in g fo r g et f ul ness as it progresses to dementia and begins to affect functionality, is Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease strikes at the core of what makes us human: our capacity to think, to love, and to remember.

The disease af fects over 40 million victims worldwide, and is one of the greatest medical mysteries of our time.

Effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is limited and there is no cure.

Yet t h e r e i s h o p e.

Dr. Sanjiv K. Sharma, his team at Advanced Memory Research Institute of New Jersey (A M R I N J) a n d o t h e r researchers in the field

continue to conduct research, develop new theories and introduce new treatments to prevent and slow the eff e c t s o f A l z h e i m e r ’s disease.

AMRINJ is a complete m e m o r y c a r e c e nte r based in Toms River that provides clinical treatment to those with A l z h e i m e r ’s d i s e a s e while working with researchers and drug companies to find new, more ef fec tive treatments and ultimately a cure.

W i t h h i s ex p e r t i s e specializing in geriatric medicine, and evaluation and management of memory loss and dementia, Dr. Sharma provides comprehensive support to patients, and their family members concerned with various forms of memory loss.

He is committed to educating his patients, their loved ones and caregivers, and guiding them through the process of testing for Alzheimer’s and memory loss.

AMRINJ of fers free on-site memory screenings to establish a clinical diagnosis, and gives patients the opportunity to participate in clinical trials where they can receive on-site treatment

free of charge as they p r ov i d e r e s e a r c h e r s with the data they need to develop new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease.

It is imperative that this research continue.

The last new medicine approved for treating A l z h e i m e r ’s d i s e a s e w a s 15 ye a r s a g o.

Once a new medicine is developed, it must be clinically tested for 10 years before it can be offered to patients through prescr iption.

Patients par ticipating in clinical studies may see improvement in their symptoms through their treatment as they help to bring these new medicines to the market. Get ting involved in a clinical study early in the onset of experiencing memor y loss increases the likelihood that a patient will benefit from new treatments as they are developed.

As a Geriatric Specialist, Dr. Sharma is singularly focused on treating the elderly and aging. He established the Geriatric Medical C ente r in To ms R i ver in 2000 to provide comprehensive medical care to senior citizens a f te r c o m p l et i n g h i s fellowship in Geriatric

Free evaluations are available to those experiencing signs of memory loss. Contact Advanced Memory Research Institute of New Jersey, conveniently located at 9 Mule Road, Suite E-8 and 9, Toms River. To schedule an appointment, call 732-341-9500.

Geriatric Specialist Dr. Sanjiv K. Sharma is dedicated to finding new, more effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease through his clinical studies at the Advanced Memory Research Institute of New Jersey (AMRINJ).

Medicine from Jersey Shore Medical Univers i t y M e di c a l C e nte r.

Dr. Sharma also has a practice at Elite Medical Care in Freehold.

Beyond treatment, Dr. Sharma dedicates his time outside of office hours to properly educating the community on the long-term effects of Alzheimer’s disease, giving local presentations on a monthly basis to discuss the latest developments in memory research. Dr. Sharma finds that these presentations very helpful for people to gain further insight on memory loss problems they or their family members may be currently experiencing.

While studies indicate that one out of eight p e o p le over t he ag e of 65 are likely to be afflicted by early signs of memory loss or forg et f ulne s s, reac hing a c e r t ain ag e in li fe doesn’t necessarily im-

ply that you are more likely to have symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

“What we know in science now is that getting forgetful is not the normal aging process.”

Sharma said, “It’s one of the symptoms which are telling that you have some underlying problem.”

Dr. Sharma meets at least one or two patients and family members per day to educate them on the effects and progression of memory loss to prepare them to take on this disease, and often to enroll them in a clinical study to explore new treatment options.

AMRINJ’s caring staff provides a unique and supportive environment that prioritizes comfort for their patients, according to Operations Manager, Anna Brocco.

When patients come for infusion treatments, they can sit and relax for an hour, enjoy a cup

of coffee and converse with other patients in a comfortable setting.

“We always greet with our patients with a smile, and say, ‘Hi, how are you?’” Brocco said. “The biggest thing that we get from patients who have actually c ompleted a study is that they want to come back because they miss coming here.”

Ad va n c e d M e m o r y Research Institute of New Jersey is located at 9 Mule Road, Suite E-8 and 9, Toms River, New Jersey. If you are concerned that you or yo u r l ove d o n e m ay be experiencing early signs of memory loss or forgetfulness, you can call at 732-341-9500 to schedule a Free Memory Evaluation. You can also visit their website at amrinj.com for office hour listings, patient te st imonials and t he latest news and developments on Alzheimer’s research.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Classic Dish Features Bold Southwestern Flavors Perfect In Summer, Fall

By Wolfgang Puck

TORTILLA SOUP WITH SWEET CORN Serves 6 to 8 For the soup: 2 tablespoons corn oil 3 corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) squares 1/2 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped 4 or 5 large garlic cloves, peeled, trimmed and cut in half 1 small jalapeno chile, halved, stemmed, seeded and deveined 2 teaspoons ground coriander, plus more as needed 2 teaspoons ground cumin, plus more as needed 2 ears fresh sweet corn, husks and silks removed, kernels cut from the cobs, cobs reserved 2 large ripe tomatoes, about 1 pound (500 g) total, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped 3 tablespoons tomato paste 2 quarts (2 L) organic chicken broth or vegetable broth, heated Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Pinch crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 lime 1 tablespoon honey For the garnishes: 3 corn tortillas 1 large cooked chicken breast, skinned and boned 1 ripe Hass avocado 1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled queso fresco or crumbled mild feta or shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup (125 mL) Mexican-style crema or sour cream

Small fresh cilantro sprigs 1 1/2 limes, cut into wedges In a pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla squares and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, garlic and chile; saute until coated with oil, about 30 seconds. Stir in the coriander and cumin; saute until fragrant, 1 minute.

Stir in the corn kernels, tomatoes and tomato paste; saute briefly. Add the reserved cobs and the broth.

Bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer briskly until reduced by a third, at least 30 minutes.

When almost done, adjust the seasonings to taste with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and more coriander and cumin.

While the soup simmers, preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Cut the tortillas for the garnishes into thin strips and arrange on a small baking sheet. Bake until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.

At the same time, prepare the other garnishes. Dice the chicken. Halve and pit, then quarter and peel the avocado and cut crosswise into thin slices.

Back to the soup: Discard the corn cobs from the soup.

With an immersion blender, puree the soup coarsely in the pot. Or puree in batches in a blender or food processor, following manufacturer’s instructions to avoid spattering. Season to taste with more salt. Squeeze in the lime half and stir in the honey.

To serve, ladle the soup into shallow heated serving bowls. Garnish with the chicken, avocado, queso fresco, crema, cilantro sprigs and tortilla strips. Serve immediately, accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing into the soup to taste.
