—Photos by Judy Smestad-Nunn A Corrado’s Market will be opening in the space previously occupied by a Pathmark Supermarket at the Laurel Square Shopping Center. The chain features imported specialty products, produce, fresh meat, fish, a deli, baked goods and more By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Township residents, especially those on the north side of Brick, got good news recently when it was announced that a Cor rado’s Market
would be opening in the space previously occupied by a Pathm a r k Su p e r m a r ke t at the Laurel Square Shopping Center. The space has been empty since 2015. This would be the
sixth New Jersey location for the family- ow ned busi ness that has other locations in Clifton, Denville, Fairfield, North Arlington, and Wayne. “In this case, Paul Corrado reached out to
me to ask if I’d heard of them,” said Mayor John G. Ducey in a recent phone i nterview. “I asked around to see if people were interested in having a Corrado’s in town, and (Market - See Page 4)
Where To Go When The Heat Hits Hard
By Kimberly Bosco It is a law in New Jersey that when the weather drops to unbearably frigid temperatures, local authorities must make arrangements for members of the community in need. This law is known as “Code Blue.” As NJ 2-1-1 defines it: “When temperatures drop below freezing, and conditions pose a threat to individuals who are homeless or medically fragile,
a network of agencies throughout New Jersey helps people obtain shelter, food, and clothing.” But what about when the weather is unbearably hot and humid? Does it warrant the same kind of response? While it is not a law, a few local municipalities have taken it upon themselves to set up cooling stations to ease members of the community out (Cooling - See Page 5)

Council Sets Restrictions For Final Liquor License
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The Township would be accepting bids on its last plenary distribution retail liquor license from qualified bidders as set forth by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act and regulations. The number of liquor licenses a municipality can issue in New Jersey are restricted based on population, and with a census being conducted next year, Mayor John G. Ducey said he wants to sell the license in case the population has decreased, resulting in the township losing it, he said during the July 23 council meeting. The minimum bid for the license is $575,000, and the governing body voted for restrictions to be placed on its sale, including where it would be located. “We’ve had concerns in the past, when I was on council, that the south end of town has a lot of liquor stores, and some owners came out asking us not to sell one back then,” he said. “We did, and it actually ended up in the south portion, based upon the bidding.” So the premises for the new liquor store must be located in the northern part of the township in areas north of the Metedeconk River as it runs through Forge Pond. Also, it must be located within a B-3 zoning district and at least half a mile away from any other property with an active plenary retail distribution license, Ducey said. In addition, the store has to be located in a vacant, existing building, (not a new or proposed building) that is located within a shopping center. “We still have some empty storefronts left, and we want to have the opportunity for redevelopment of those spots rather than somebody be able to buy the liquor license and knock down trees,” he said. “So with those restrictions and with the minimum bid, hopefully we can get a sale of this last plenary retail distribution license.” In other news, the mayor gave an update on the of the future sports dome site to be built at the site of the former Foodtown property.

Continued From Page 1 people were excited about it.” The mayor said he met many Brick residents who had shopped in other Corrado’s stores and asked if they could come to Brick. “I called [Corrado’s] back and said everybody loves you,” Ducey said. The chain features imported specialty products, produce, fresh meat, fish, a deli, baked goods and more. According to Paul Corrado, 40, the Brick location would be modeled after their Wayne store which, at around 30,000 square feet, is about the same size. At 75,000 feet, their Clifton store is the largest. “Everything needs to be done - there’s going to be some interior demolition on some walls and the ceiling, and [Laurel Square owner Brixmor] is going to deliver a clean floor to me,” Corrado said in a recent phone interview. Paul and his two brothers, five cousins, father and two uncles own the chain of stores which was started in 1950 by Paul’s grandfather, James, on East Railway Avenue in Patterson. The family is tight-knit and everyone gets along, he said. “Everybody and their mother asked us to open a store in Brick or Toms River,” Cor-

said the plan has gotten the green light from the State Department of Transportation and from the township Planning Board, but the developers are still waiting for a response from the Ocean County Soil and from NJ Wetlands. The township council passed a resolution that authorizes the township to execute a deed for a letter of interpretation for the project, which confirms that properties determined to be wetlands and wetland buffer areas would not be on the buildable part of the former Foodtown site, Ducey explained. The applicants still need to have a hearing in front of the Ocean County Planning Board and they need to go before the Municipal Utilities Authority. “And when all that is done, it will go before CAFRA so we could finally get this thing built,” Ducey said. “I know I called it red tape, and it seems like red tape because there
rado said. Most of the family lives in Bergen County, but one of the uncles and one of the cousins lives in Ocean County, who would be checking on the Brick location. “It’s rare to hear of a third generation family business being successful,” Corrado said. He said they hope to have a liquor license at the Brick store and Corrado’s would be bidding on a plenary consumption license that has recently come up for sale. Their Clifton location is the only other store that has a liquor license. Plans are in the works for yet another location, but Corrado said it was premature to discuss the details. Last year Shop Rite expressed an interest in opening up a store at the Laurel Square location, but that deal never materialized. KMart, which was also an anchor store there, closed in 2018 and At Home, a home decor chain, now occupies that space. Since there is no change of use, Corrado’s does not need to go before the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment and they have an eye on a summer of 2020 opening. Other food stores that are planning to open in Brick include Lidl’s, which will occupy the former Cost Cutters space at the Riverwalk at Brick, and Trader Joes, which will take over the former Ethan Allen Store in Brick Plaza.
are all these hoops you have to go through in order to get a sports dome in town, so that’s what we’re doing, going through each one individually…It’s part of the process to close on the property.” And finally, Councilwoman Heather deJong read a message from Councilwoman Marianna Pontoriero that explains her recent absences from council meetings. “Unfortunately due to the effects of the radiation I went through for my cancer treatments, I had to undergo another surgery to replace my jaw. I appreciate everyone’s thoughts, prayers and positivity, and I am recovering,” she said. “I hope to see everyone soon.” DeJong called Pontoriero a “Wonder Woman,” for what she has endured these last few years. “She and her family are all warriors in her battle against cancer, and we just ask for everybody’s positive thoughts and prayers,” she said. The next council meeting will be on Tuesday August 13 at 7 p.m.

Cooling:
Continued From Page 1 of the excessive summer heat. These cooling stations are similar to warming centers, but the difference lies in the specifics. According to Tracy Maxwell of the Ocean County Department of Human Services, “there is legislation dictating warming centers,” but not cooling centers. Maxwell added that counties are not required to have a warming center established, per se, but they do need to have a plan in place should one be called for. Ocean County works with other agencies, such as nonprofits, to facilitate this. This is not the case with cooling stations. According to Maxwell, these are typically handled by the municipalities themselves. The county lends a helping hand when it comes to spreading the word about where residents can find a cooling station. “When temperatures soar it is customary that county government will make an effort to alert their residents by posting information about the opening of cooling centers on their county website,” according to NJ 2-1-1. As with Code Blue, “information regarding the availability of weather related services, provided by non-profit and volunteer organizations, will be offered on the Ocean County Department of Human Services website, through email and via social media,” according to the Department of Human Services. Those who suffer from homelessness, or simply do not have access to cool air during a heat wave, are invited to visit a cooling
The Brick Times, August 3, 2019, Page 5 center for a safe, air conditioned environment to pass the time. Some cooling centers even incorporate charging stations for electronic devices, such as Howell Township. The following are some municipalities that have established cooling stations so far this summer: On July 18, the South Toms River Police Department set up a cooling center for the ensuing weekend at the township’s recreation building located at 1 Drake Lane. On July 19, Seaside Park Tri-Boro EMS established a cooling center on J Street during a power outage caused by the recent storm. Branching into Monmouth County, Howell Township was hit especially hard by a recent storm, causing excessive storm damage and numerous power outages. On July 23, the township set up a cooling/charging station at the Howell Township Municipal Building (4567 Highway 9 North, 2nd Floor) in the Main Meeting Room. “We set up the cooling station at Town Hall due to the power outage, wherein AC and water was supplied to residents. We also had a charging station where residents could charge their phones,” Councilman Thomas Russo told Jersey Shore Online. “This particular cooling station was set up in response to the power outage. Unfortunately, Howell was hit the hardest from the recent storm, wherein thousands of residents lost power for an extended period of time.” Whether it is due to excessive heat or a heavy storm, local officials are trying to assist residents in finding a bit of reprieve with these cooling centers. While not every township or police department has made an
effort to establish their own, Maxwell noted that the County encourages everyone to use the services available to them to escape the heat. Residents in need of a bit of cool air can visit a local branch of the Ocean County Library, Monmouth County Library, or local malls.

Gold Star Luminary Lighting Ceremony
BRICK – Join the Brick Elks to pay tribute to our fallen heroes and their loved ones at the Gold Star Luminary Lighting Ceremony on Sunday, September 29 starting at 7:30 p.m. Support us in lighting up your luminary bag which we will have available on that evening at the Brick Elks Lodge. Coffee and dessert will be served following the ceremony. On Gold Star Family Day, we come together to honor those who have lost a loved one serving in the U.S. military by lighting a luminary on the last Sunday in September. Throughout America’s history, from the Revolutionary War to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, families have seen their loved ones heed the call of duty; and with that duty comes the ultimate burden that these families
must bear. Lighting a luminary on Gold Star Family Day lets them know they don’t stand alone. Gold Star Mother’s Day was designated by a joint Congressional resolution in 1936 and has evolved in recent years to be known as Gold Star Family Day. Each year since, the day has been observed by presidential proclamation. How Your Help is Needed: In communities large and small, organizations and individuals honor these families, from citywide events to a single luminary at the end of a driveway. Community service clubs, church groups, and military organizations all participate—and they all need leaders; someone who will coordinate the day’s activities and send out the call to action.

SIGNS OF PRESSURE
According to the American Heart Association, approximately 75 million American adults (32%) have high blood pressure. About one in three American adults has “prehypertension,” which is blood pressure numbers that are higher than normal but not yet in the high blood pressure range. Yet, only about half (54%) of people with high blood pressure have their condition under control. Treatment begins with a diagnosis that is usually made during a routine health exam. For those who skip their annual exams, it is quite possible that an eye exam may lead to the important diagnosis. Over time, high blood pressure renders tiny blood vessels in the eyes more vulnerable to blood leakage, which is revealed by a comprehensive eye exam. Untreated high blood pressure can also affect your eyesight and lead to eye disease. Managing blood pressure is also the only way to treat hypertensive retinopathy, which is blurred vision or the complete loss of sight. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, our experienced physicians and knowledgeable staff are dedicated to providing you with the very best in patient care, focusing on Lasik, cataract surgery, and premium intraocular lens implants, diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, pediatric ophthalmology, and total eye care.

Lakewood Pathology Associates Statement Regarding AMCA Data Breach
LAKEWOOD — On June 3, 2019, Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, Inc. (d/b/a American Medical Collection Agency) (AMCA), a billing collections provider, notified Lakewood Pathology Associates that an unauthorized user had accessed AMCA’s server, which contained personal and payment information for a large number of individuals, including a number of LPA’s laboratory patients. Lakewood Pathology Associates is a laboratory company providing anatomic pathology services to clinicians in support of patient care. AMCA has advised Lakewood Pathology Associates that it has not identified the intruder, but that law enforcement is involved. Upon learning of the incident, Lakewood Pathology Associates immediately suspended AMCA’s services and undertook an investigation. Lakewood Pathology Associates has discovered that AMCA learned of the breach on March 20, 2019, and that intruder had access to AMCA systems from August 1, 2018 through March 30, 2019. The types of Lakewood Pathology Associates patient information exposed as a result of the incident include first and last names, credit card numbers and other banking information, social security numbers, locations and dates of laboratory services, and referring physicians. Not every type
of information was exposed for every patient, and no test results were disclosed as a result of the incident. At this time, Lakewood Pathology Associates has no reason to believe that any patient information has been misused. Patients whose credit card, social security number or banking information that was collected by AMCA through their payment process, was exposed by AMCA should have already received a notification from AMCA along with an offer of free credit monitoring and identity theft repair service. Lakewood Pathology Associates has provided notification to patients who had health information, but no financial information, involved in the incident. Patients whose financial information was not involved do not need to take any special steps to protect themselves. However, it is always advisable to remain vigilant for fraud and identity theft by regularly reviewing and monitoring credit reports, bank and other account statements carefully. Lakewood Pathology Associates is continuing to review this incident and AMCA’s response to it, and will provide updated information as appropriate. Individuals with questions or concerns about this matter may contact 877-277-3986.

Two Ocean County Beaches Closed Due to Bacteria By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Two Ocean County beaches have been closed to the public due to unsafe bacteria levels. Swimmers should steer clear of the Barnegat Bay side of 25th Street in Barnegat Light as well as Windward Beach in Brick. According to the state’s Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program, both beaches are closed until further notice as the “sample exceeded water quality standard.” As of July 25, these are the only two beaches closed in the state. No other beaches have been placed under advisory. According to Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, beachgoers should expect more closures and advisories due to recent high temperatures and rain. “We had nearly 100 beach closures and nearly 400 advisories due to dangerous bacteria levels along the shore over the last four years. This is what happens when we roll back environmental protections and fail to control overdevelopment and stormwater, and update our outdated water infrastructure,” stated Tittel. A release from the New Jersey Sierra Club points a finger at overdevelopment and stormwater runoff as the cause of the increase in cases
of contaminated water. “Protecting our coasts and lakes includes making sure our water is safe to swim in. When it rains, it pours sewage and polluted runoff into our water. Last summer we saw dozens of shore beaches that were closed or under advisory because of high fecal bacteria. This impacts public health and also hurts tourism,” Tittel added. The Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program outlines the two paths that can be taken when there is an exceedance of the water quality standards. First is an advisory: “Any initial sample that exceeds the water quality standard requires that the local health agency issue a swimming advisory at the bathing beach where the sample was collected. Swimming Advisories warn the public of potentially unhealthy water conditions. Additional sampling is conducted until water quality results are again within the standard.” Then, there are closures: “Beaches are closed if two consecutive samples collected at a bathing beach exceed the water quality standard. Beach closings remain in effect until subsequent sampling indicates bacteria levels are again below the standard.” For information on beach advisories, closures, rip currents, and more, visit njbeaches.org/.

How Can You Protect Yourself From Osteoporosis?
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Osteoporosis is a common disease, accounting for more than 2 million broken bones per year in the US. Want to prevent yourself from becoming one of the 200 million people suffering from osteoporosis? The Ocean County Health Department is here to help. The OCHD recognizes May as National Osteoporosis Month, reminding residents that there are ways to help slow or stop the loss of bone mass and help prevent fractures no matter what your age. “Osteoporosis is often called a “silent disease” because unfortunately for many people they don’t know they have it until it’s too late. It usually takes breaking a bone before a person is diagnosed with the disease,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Start thinking about your bone health and take action now! The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) recommends these tips to improve bone health and prevent osteoporosis: Get to know your risk factors: age, gender, lifestyle, medical history, family history and
whether you take any medication or have medical conditions that can lead to bone loss. Get active: Do regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise Eat Your Way to Healthy Bones: Calcium, vitamin D, lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats are the key to eating for healthy bones. Ask your healthcare provider when you should get a bone density test Don’t smoke and don’t drink too much alcohol: No more than two drinks a day is best for bone health “Bones affected by osteoporosis have lower density or strength which leads to bones becoming more fragile and likely to break. Osteoporosis causes severe pain, suffering and life-altering loss of mobility - yet it is treatable and even preventable. Diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle are keys to preventing and managing osteoporosis,” stated Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator. For more information on National Osteoporosis Month and how to build and maintain strong bones for life, visit ochd.org. Check out the OCHD’s new website at phu2.org.

Scholarship Funds Available For OCC Students In Addiction Recovery
G CIN LE! N B A A FINVAIL A
$
159,000
3 BED, 2 ½ BATH!
TOMS RIVER — In a move to directly impact students in addiction recovery attending Ocean County College, the Ammon Foundation has partnered with the OCC Foundation to make available $2,500 in scholarship awards for two students in recovery for the Fall 2019 semester. Scholarship applications can be submitted through August 16. The funding for the scholarship has been made available via The Ammon Foundation’s Core Value Partnership Initiative, which strives to create intentional, mutually-beneficial and long-term partnerships to strategically support individuals in recovery. As an Education Partner, OCC joins with The Ammon Foundation in a one-to-one matching scholarship to remove financial barriers in place for an individual in recovery pursuing education. The Ammon Foundation has allocated a minimum of $100,000 annually for scholarships to support individuals in recovery pursuing education via various pathways. Scholarship recipients become Ammon Recovery Scholars and are connected to a community of students in recovery, and offered free Peer Recovery Coaching and Professional Mentoring via the Foundations’ Community Engagement Initiative. The Foundation subscribes to the belief that when individuals in recovery are holistically supported to build purposeful lives, the likelihood of them maintaining their recovery substantially increases. “As a woman in long-term recovery, Executive Director of The Ammon Foundation, an Ocean County College alum, and a Trustee on the Ocean County College Foundation Board, I could not be more ecstatic about a partnership,” said Mariel Hufnagel. “All
individuals deserve access to education. Through innovative partnerships like this, we are able to better serve the marginalized and disenfranchised – not only removing barriers to education but providing hope by opening doors to a brighter future.” In recent years, the OCC Foundation has expanded its outreach to partner with community leaders in business, industry, education, and government to reach a common goal to provide quality, affordable education to the students and to prepare them to assume their roles in our society. The accomplishments of the Foundation are a tribute to an unwavering belief in its mission by all who have participated to provide academic excellence that is accessible to all Ocean County residents. “The Ocean County College Foundation is proud to participate in the Ammon Partnership for Recovery through Education Program,” remarked Kenneth Malagiere, Executive Director of the OCC Foundation. “With this scholarship, students can begin or make a fresh start on the road to higher education right here in Ocean County. Our Foundation has long been committed to the success of all of our scholarship recipients and we are looking forward to the witnessing the positive effect of this partnership on our student body.” Beyond the matching scholarship, Ammon and OCC are also exploring various ways to work together and bring education and awareness about addiction and recovery to the campus and the community at large, and support to those in, or seeking, recovery. OCC students in addiction recovery can visit ocean.academicworks.com/opportunities/2037 to apply for the scholarship funding.

Childhood Hearing Loss…And Bullying?
Add bullying to the list of reasons to keep kids’ hearing health in top shape. Hearing-impaired youth of school age appear to be bullied more than their typical-hearing counterparts, per a University of Texas at Dallas study published in the journal of Exceptional Children. The study, “Effect of Hearing Loss on Peer Victimization in School-Age Children,” surveyed 87 participants ages 7 to 18 who wore hearing aids or cochlear implants and found that: • Nearly half of respondents – compared to approximately 28% of adolescents in the general population – reported being bullied. • The nature of the bullying experienced by hearing-impaired youth mirrored what their peers with other special needs have faced. • Hearing-impaired youth were even more likely to report feeling socially excluded – over 25% of respondents compared to 5% of youth generally.
These findings parallel published reports of fewer invitations to social events, lower quantity and quality of friendships, and higher loneliness in children and adolescents with hearing loss “shared the study’s authors in a UT Dallas news release. Auditory-based communication difficulties can lead to missed jokes, conversation gaps, or other challenges affecting peer relationships, researchers speculated in the news release. Added investigator Andrea Warner-Czyz, Ph.D. “Friendships are important to most young people, but I believe they are especially important to children with hearing loss. Anything parents can do to facilitate social interaction and friendship and letting them learn how to be a friend and who is a friend is critical.” Hearing loss among youth goes largely unaddressed. Is a hearing test on your checklist? Call us to schedule complimentary hearing screenings for the whole family today!

5 Reasons Not To Supplement With Vitamin K
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Vitamin D makers sometimes add vitamin K to their vitamin D formulas, providing both of these nutrients at the same time. This new trend has not been the standard of practice, for good reason. In fact, I personally refused to put vitamin K in my own brand of vitamin D because your safety is most important to me. It interacts with antacids, blood thinners, drugs for cancer, seizures, cholesterol and even aspirin. It’s easy to get if you simply eat some coleslaw, a fruit, or a salad. When you take a walk in the sunshine to get your vitamin D, do you have to simultaneously eat a salad? No, of course not. It’s the same with supplements, you don’t need both of those nutrients in one soft gel. Is this topic fascinates you, I wrote a longer version and can email it to you if you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com. Now here are other reasons you may just want a plain vitamin D (without the K in it): 1. Hypercalcemia is more likely. When you take a supplement with both Vitamin D and K in it, these both work synergistically to retain more calcium in your body. Hypercalcemia has been linked to atherosclerosis, cardiac arrhythmias, muscle pain or cramps, insomnia as well as agitation. It is what binds with oxalates to form kidney stones. 2. Vitamin K causes blood to thicken. It is the opposite of a blood thinner. Who wants thicker blood? We’re all trying to
thin our blood with fish oils, turmeric, ginger, vitamin E, ginkgo and even prescription medications. You see, vitamin K negates the actions of blood thinners (anticoagulants), which are intended to thin our blood which in turn protects us from stroke and heart attack. 3. You don’t want a bone formula. Many of you are taking vitamin D for your bones, and the K helps transport the calcium into your bone. In this case you may want the combination formula, but MOST people do not ingest D supplements for bone health. It’s usually taken to improve immunity, lower blood sugar, ease depression or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), or to restore lost D which occurs from the drug mugging effect of statin cholesterol drugs. 4. You Just Need to Raise Vitamin D. Those deficient in vitamin D take high doses of the nutrient for a few months to restore levels, but combination supplements will jack up your K (and calcium levels) to a potentially harmful level and confuse the issue. 5. It’s easy to eat vitamin K. Supplementing is unnecessary. The recommendations are as follows: Women above 19 years old should consume 90 micrograms (mcg) each day, and men should have 120 mcg. To put this in perspective, one cup of broccoli gives you 220 mcg, one cup of coleslaw provides 160 mcg, kiwifruit provides 63 mcg and sautéed spinach gives you 889 mcg! There are hundreds of foods that offer a substantial amount of vitamin K.

Inside The Law
Rights And Restrictions For An Robert C. Shea Esq. Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fees By: Robert C. Shea, III Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset
which does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

available in one place online.” Family at Simon is a free program. Members can join to view special discounts and offers at their local Simon mall. Also, don’t forget to save the date for some of Ocean County Mall’s upcoming events! On August 25, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Ocean County Mall will partner with Toms River Macaroni Kid to host the 2nd Annual Back to School Bash in the mall’s Center Court. The Back to School Bash will focus on helping families get ready for the back-toschool season with a fashion show, a school supply drive, swag bags to the first 100 families, and local resource organizations and vendors all focused on kids and/or families. On October 24, 4-7 p.m., Ocean County Mall will host the annual Mall-O-Ween Events. On December 6, 6-8 p.m., the annual Santa’s Arrival Event will take place.

40 Years of Experience – 70 Acre Farm
Dear Joel, Several years ago, my husband and I put in an in-ground swimming to enjoy with our family and friends. This past winter, new neighbors moved in and to be neighborly we’ve invited them and their two children to join us at the pool. The invitation was meant for once in a while, but now every single time they see us outside, they invite themselves over. How can we tell them (and their kids) nicely that we need some ‘family’ time?
and possibly embarrassing your new f r ie n d s , b u t your family has the right to privacy. I would suggest contacting your neighbor and planning a get together on a specific day, and during that conversation mention how much you are looking forward to some quite family time in the meantime. End the conversation with “see you on the ____”.
Answer: First let me say how nice it was of you to be so welcoming, it can be tough moving into a new neighborhood. I know that you want to avoid ‘making waves’,

KNEE PAIN? Grinding, popping, difficulty walking or going up and down the stairs, bone-on-bone pain… Does any of this sound familiar?
There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined. Only then can medical professionals determine what would be best for you. People suffering from knee pain often try a number of potential solutions before finding relief. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s where expert 5-star care and nearly 20 years of experience comes into play at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Knee pain patients are unique and suffer from a great deal of pain. They deserve and require practitioners who are invested in their case, who take the time to explain what’s causing the pain
and why particular treatments may work or not work. That’s the difference at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Five-star service and the well-being of their patients are the doctors’ top priorities. At Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, there are no cookie cutter plans. With so many different services available in one facility, there are a number of possibilities and different combinations of treatments that can be customized to each patient. While these doctors do see many patients who receive injections to postpone painful knee surgery, some patients may benefit more from Cold Laser Therapy combined with physical therapy, or maybe acupuncture or vibration therapy. There are a number of possibilities and no one single solution to cure all knee pain. So what’s the solution? Start with a consultation with one of these skilled medical professionals. Sit down with one of the doctors to determine exactly which approach would be the most effective in your case. Take advantage of this special offer for Asbury Park Press Readers: FREE initial consultations ($245 value) for the first 17 people who call!
Knee Pain Solution: Combining Time-Tested Injections with New Technologies So many people who have been experiencing knee pain have sought out treatment before. Whether they tried a round of injections, painkillers, or saw a doctor and were told surgery is necessary, many people suffering from knee pain feel like they’ve tried everything. There have been many patients who have called Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation saying that they’ve exhausted all their options, but they may as well see if these therapies will help. They come in hopeless, and many end up having more success than ever before! So, what is it that makes this facility special? It’s bringing together all the individual working pieces to provide the well-rounded, all-encompassing treatment that delivers results. Patients can get multiple treatments all under one roof. Beyond that, the doctors at Monmouth Pain take the time to explain your condition and your treatment so that patients can understand what is going on. Why don’t you come see for yourself – call now to claim your FREE consultation ($245 value), available only to the first 17 callers. 732-345-1377 WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE LIKE? Acupuncture sessions take place in a relaxing setting. A Licensed Acupuncturist will insert tiny needles into incredibly precise points of the body, sending signals to the brain to release neurotransmitters that reduce feelings of pain. These tiny pricks that most patients can hardly feel are awakening your body’s innate ability to relieve pain –all while you get to sit back and relax. Osteoarthritis patients who receive acupuncture regularly may see noticeable improvements in levels of pain and functionality. Acupuncture is especially effective when combined with other treatment methods and may even improve the effects of physical therapy and other modalities.

Rotator Cuff Injuries Aren’t Just For Athletes By: Frank Ranuro, PTA
S
houlder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal complaint, behind neck and back pain, seen in medical practices each year. The cause of shoulder pain can range from uncomplicated sprains to massive rotator cuff tears. During a 6 year span, there were over 5 million physician visits for shoulder pain attributed to rotator cuff problems. Research has indicated that the incidence of rotator cuff damage increases with age due to degeneration of the tendon. This suggests that as the current population ages, rotator cuff repair will also increase. Although the majority of these conditions are responsive to conservative treatment, some may require surgery. Let’s go over some anatomy: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that work together to stabilize the shoulder. The four muscles of the shoulder are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis. The supraspinatus muscle is responsible for abduction (moving away from the body), the infraspinatus and teres minor provide external rotation (rotating away from the body), and the subscapularis provides internal rotation (rotating in towards the body). These muscles and tendons connect the humerus (upper arm), with your shoulder blade, or scapula. They also help hold the head of your upper arm bone firmly in your
• Trauma: Falling on the shoulder or outstretched arm, especially in the elderly, when attempting to break a fall. • Normal wear and tear: After age 40, normal wear and tear on your rotator cuff can cause breakdown of collagen in the cuff’s tendon and muscles, which makes them more prone to degeneration and injury. You can also develop calcium deposits within the cuff or arthritic bone spurs that can pinch or irritate the rotator cuff.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan
• Repetitive overhead activities (e.g. throwing a baseball, basketball, freestyle swimming, tennis)
• An ultrasound scan
• Occupational overuse (painting, carpentry, grocery clerking),
The main goal of any therapeutic intervention for shoulder pain is the return to pain-free function. A number of different factors can help determine the course of action that is taken when trying to reach this goal, such as age, pre-injury functional level and general health.
• Abnormally shaped acromion, which can make impingement of the rotator cuff tendons more likely. • Poor Posture: Slouching causes your neck and shoulders to take a forward position, which causes the space where the rotator cuff muscles are located in to narrow further and can impinge on the tendons.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE: • Pain and tenderness in your shoulder, especially when reaching overhead, reaching behind your back, reaching across your body, lifting/pulling or sleeping on the affected side.
• Loss of range of motion.
ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES A rotator cuff injury includes any type of irritation or damage to your rotator cuff muscles or tendons. These injuries can range from Impingement Syndrome to Partial- and Full-Thickness rotator cuff tears. Impingement Syndrome is a chronic process that presents itself as shoulder pain. If left untreated, it can progress to permanent changes and eventual tearing of the rotator cuff. External impingement is the most common form of impingement syndrome and is caused by compression of the rotator cuff tendons as they pass through the coracoacromial arch. As this type of compression happens repetitively, it can cause inflammation of the bursa lining the joint and can narrow the space further. Other factors can contribute to the narrowing of this space as well, such as bone spurs and arthritic changes. These changes and the progressive degeneration of the tendons can eventually lead to partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tears.
Common causes and risk factors of rotator cuff injuries may include:
• X-rays
• Lifting heavy objects
• Shoulder weakness, especially in abduction or flexion. Many people frequently describe having significant difficulties combing hair, holding a hair dryer and removing. Immediate onset of weakness, especially associated with sudden trauma, can indicate an acute tear. shoulder socket. This combination allows your shoulder to have the greatest range of motion (ROM) in the body.
TESTS AND DIAGNOSIS After the doctor examines you, and if your injury appears to be severe or if they cannot determine the cause of your pain through physical examination, they will most likely order one or more diagnostic tests. These may include:
• Inclination to keep your shoulder inactive.
A visit to your doctor is your next step. They’re likely to ask you several questions. • Where is your pain located? • Does your job or hobby aggravate your shoulder pain?
TREATMENT OPTIONS
• Steroid Injections: Your doctor may use a corticosteroid injection to relieve inflammation and pain. • Physical Therapy: This is the most conservative of all of the options. After modifying your activity and controlling pain, physical therapy can be begun. In the first active phase of therapy, gentle ROM exercises are started to prevent adhesions or scar tissue from forming followed by a strengthening program of the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizer muscles. Various modalities can used concurrently to aide in decreasing pain and inflammation such as ultrasound and electric stimulation. • Surgery: If a large tear is present in your rotator cuff, you may need surgery to repair it. The surgery may be performed as an open repair with a 2 ½ to 4 inch incision or as an arthroscopic repair, which is less invasive. • Arthroplasty: Severe, chronic rotator cuff tears may contribute to severe arthritis. Your doctor may want to perform a total shoulder replacement or arthroplasty.
FRANK RANURO, PTA
• When did the pain first occur? • How severe is your pain? • What specific movements aggravate or alleviate your pain? • Do you have any weakness or numbness in your arm?
In the days before your doctor’s appointment, you can decrease your discomfort by trying some of the following: • Rest your shoulder. Avoid movements that aggravate your shoulder and give you more pain. • Apply cold packs. This can help reduce pain and inflammation. • Taking over-the-counter pain medications, with the approval from your doctor. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve), to help reduce pain.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 3 - aug 9 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your people skills are impressive, but you may benefit from gathering a bit more knowledge about handling money. In the week ahead you may need to lend support to the causes and groups that you champion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might be inundated with interruptions and inspirations. It may be easy to change your mind or alter your opinions. If you are single a new friend could surprise you in the week ahead by turning on your love light. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s easy to be briefly fascinated by sensationalized gossip but seek out the facts before you form a judgment. The week ahead is more productive when you have someone’s helping hands. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may find that your financial fantasies are fulfilled. This doesn’t mean you will win the lottery this week (although that is always a possibility), but it does mean that a new source of revenue could be found. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you exercise your brain or your body you may tap into an elixir of youth. As this week unfolds you could choose to make a positive change that will make you look and feel better. Enjoy heightened popularity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Changes that affect your job, perhaps in the form of some new duties, can have their upsides as well as downsides. Luckily, your partner will support you in the week ahead by offering some insightful advice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stay focused on your long-term loyalties and priorities and say no to anything that could threaten to drive you and a loved one apart. It’s far easier to maintain trust than to try to rebuild if after it is damaged or lost. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Loved ones may need more space right now. Let them be free to explore and express as needed - clinging too tightly might not help the way you think. Someone close to you could surprise you with unexpected ideas as this week unfolds. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The dream of success you have worked so hard to make real could begin to bear fruit in the upcoming week. Give yourself plenty of pats on the back and don’t let anyone who doesn’t get it bring you down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you follow up on unusual ideas you may have some unexpected experiences. As the week progresses you may be reminded that family members have your best interests at heart and can be trusted. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your crystal-clear intentions may briefly be hidden by a fog that could misdirect you or others. Avoid signing contracts in the early part of the week when clerical errors and miscommunications are a possibility. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Creative projects or work-related meetings can keep you on your toes in the week ahead. It may be difficult to arrive at a consensus within a committee. Trust your intuition about financial matters right now.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Sauce: This Fish Dish Highlights The Season’s Tomato Harvest By Wolfgang Puck What a wonderful time it is when sun-ripened tomatoes come into season, as they are right now during the heart of summer. Sure, you can find tomatoes - even heirloom varieties of all colors, shapes and sizes - in the market throughout the year, thanks to hothouse agriculture and international shipping. But tomatoes that have grown locally under the warm sunshine and have made just a short journey to your food store or farmers market will always taste better, be juicier and simply look more naturally beautiful than those you buy during autumn, winter or spring. Of course, it makes sense to enjoy those seasonal tomatoes at their freshest, sliced or chopped to make all sorts of salads that seem to miraculously capture the season in every bite. The Italian caprese salad, with mozzarella, fresh basil and fruity extra-virgin olive oil, is the quintessential example, but I know you will let your imagination run wild. When I cook with summer tomatoes, I always make sure that the recipe treats them with the respect they deserve, highlighting their essence in a way you just can’t do when the ingredient isn’t at its very best. That’s why I’m often tempted to make just a simple tomato butter sauce, which I find to be a perfect vehicle for distilling the vegetable-fruit’s sweetness and body. As long as I’m doing that at the stove, I’ll also put in a little quick time to cook fresh white fish fillets that have a mild flavor and firm, yet tender texture that makes a suitable partner for such a fresh seasonal preparation. Widely available halibut fillets make an excellent choice for this recipe, and you could also substitute striped bass, cod, haddock, flounder or any other white fish fillets you like. Cooked on the stovetop in a buttered casserole, with some chopped shallots and white wine, the fish cooks in just a few minutes and is then transferred to a heated plate to keep warm while you add to its cooking liquid a reduced juice of fresh tomatoes, reducing the mixture further and then enriching it with some butter and cream. That sauce sounds sumptuous, doesn’t it? And to make sure you don’t miss a delicious drop, there’s one final element to the dish: fresh pasta, which forms a base on which you serve the fish and its sauce. All that’s left to add is a glass of well-chilled dry white wine, and you have the finishing for a casual yet elegant summer dinner. HALIBUT FILLETS WITH TOMATO BUTTER AND FRESH PASTA Serves 6 8 medium-sized, firm but ripe red tomatoes 1/2 pound (250 g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus extra for greasing 6 halibut fillets, about 6 ounces (185 g) each 2 shallots, minced Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine 3/4 cup (185 mL) cream Pinch of cayenne pepper 1 1/2 pounds store-bought fresh fettuccine or linguine 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley Bring a large pot of water and a small saucepan of water to a boil. Fill a mixing bowl with ice cubes and water. When the saucepan of water boils, use a small, sharp knife to core 2 of the tomatoes and score a shallow X in their opposite ends. Use a slotted spoon to lower them into the saucepan and, as soon as their skin begins to wrinkle after about 15 seconds, lift them out with the spoon and transfer to the ice water. Then, peel the 2 tomatoes starting at the X, halve and seed them, and cut them into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice. Transfer to a bowl and cover. Cut the remaining 6 tomatoes into large chunks, and pulse them in a food processor until finely chopped. Spoon the tomatoes into a fine wire strainer over a bowl, and press them through with a spatula. Set aside the chopped tomatoes, and transfer the resulting juice to a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, and then reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. With some butter, grease a heavy flameproof casserole large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Arrange the fillets in the casserole, sprinkle with shallots, and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the wine, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil over medium heat; then reduce the heat and simmer until the fish is just springy to a light, quick touch, 3 to 5 minutes. With a spatula, transfer the fish to a warmed plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep them moist; their residual heat will continue cooking them to the perfect doneness. Add the tomato juice to the casserole, and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens again, 3 to 5 minutes. While whisking continuously, add the butter a piece at a time to form a velvety sauce. Taste and adjust the seasons with salt, pepper, and a dash of cayenne. Meanwhile, add some salt to the pot of boiling water, add the pasta, and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the suggested cooking time, usually 1 1/2 to 4 minutes depending on thickness. Drain the pasta and add it, still slightly dripping, to the sauce, lifting and turning it with tongs to coat it evenly. With tongs, transfer the pasta to heated serving plates. Place a halibut fillet on top of the pasta on each plate and spoon remaining sauce from the casserole over the fish. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and parsley, and serve immediately.
