By Carley Doktorski BERKELEY – With hopes of shining a new lig ht on local t reasu res, the Berkeley Historical Society Museum installed 12 new basement windows on July 11. The old windows were
framed by ply wood and some of them were broken, leading to leakage and heating system freeze-ups. While the society members could only do minor maintenance work to the old building, the township was able to step up and
make the installment of new windows possible. “Berkeley Township Historical Society is very grateful to Berkeley Township Mayor, Carmen Amato, and the Berkeley Township Council for this renovation,” Jerry Beer,
President of Berkeley H istor ical Societ y, said. “[The windows] both add significant aesthetic appeal and should greatly reduce the cost of heating in the winter.” According to township (Window - See Page 12)
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 of the excessive summer heat. These cooling stations are similar to warming

Board Member Won’t Seek Reelection After “Hateful” Facebook Posts
By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – The Board of Education member recently accused of bigotry by fellow officials and members of the community will not be seeking reelection. On Monday, July 29, Daniel P. Leonard made the announcement that he will not seek reelection for his seat representing Beachwood on the Toms River Board of Education. When asked about this decision, Leonard simply said: “It’s not about me,” and he does not wish to “compromise” the goals and focus of the district. However, Leonard added that he also has no plans to resign before his term is up on December 31, 2019. ‘I also don’t want to compromise myself,” he said. Melissa Morrison and Alex Mizenko will be running for Leonard’s Beachwood seat. This development comes a week after Leonard was targeted for sharing anti-Muslim posts on his personal Facebook page. There were three reposts from April that were flagged. One was a repost from a conservative podcaster disparaging Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota. When reposting, Leonard commented “Terrorist…100%” (Board - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 Another was a repost of a Fox News post about Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan. Leonard commented “My life would be complete if she/ they die.” A third was a repost of a meme showing a Barbie doll with a bruise and a hijab, referring to it as “Sharia Barbie.” These posts were flagged by many as hateful and inappropriate, many public officials and organizations calling for Leonard to resign. In response, Leonard stated that he believes some to be expressing “selective reactions,” meaning that they are choosing to be angry at his comments as opposed to the comments of other politicians. While admitting that the posts were “the wrong move,” Leonard called it “Politics 101.” Leonard has since vowed to be more careful with what he posts to his personal Facebook page. Should Leonard Resign? On Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver’s official Facebook page, she wrote the following: “We are disheartened by the racist comments made by a school board member in Toms River. His hateful language is counter to the best interests of our students and does not represent our values. Governor Phil Murphy and I urge him to resign. The New Jersey Department of Education is also looking into this matter.” At the most recent Board of Education meeting, members of the public asked for him to resign. After the meeting, he met with Muslim members of the community and then issued a statement on his Facebook: “Although I will not apologize or resign over the mischaracterization of my ‘out of context posts’ - we did agree to disagree and I did reassure them that I understand the position that some of them felt the need to take. Sadly, my personal posts have obviously impacted the district and I will be more cautious going forward as we continue our fight against the loss in state aid - right or wrong, not everything is about me and my colleagues and I have worked way too hard to let this ruin our path to progress!” Leonard’s reasoning for remaining on the board until his term expires, rather than resigning, is to avoid “compromising” what he and other board members have been working hard to achieve “given the progress we’ve made over the last 2-3 years,” he said. He is referring to a state change in aid that will short the district millions of dollars a year. Many community members have been urging solidarity in combatting Trenton on these cuts. Leonard continued: “This goes for everyone - Just because you have the right to say something does not necessarily mean that you should. There is a difference between being right and being effective! I stand against Sharia Law and I stand against those who would attempt to take away one’s freedom of speech through fear and intimidation! I will never back down, but I vow to be more articulate in my approach so that the message I am trying to convey as a private citizen is clear and precise and in no way reflects the position of the Board.”
He also stated that he is against Sharia Law, not Muslims. The comments regarding Congresswoman Tlaib were about her calling for a hunger strike to shut down Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This came from a Fox News clip that was cut short, in which she did not actually urge hunger strikes; she only mentioned that other people were doing it. Leonard’s point was that if she wants to starve herself, then fine. But he did not call for violence against her. After an initial news report about the issue was made public, Leonard addressed the issues on Facebook, stating that he served in the Middle East doing his part protecting Muslims from radicalized Islamic fundamentalists. Leonard retired from the Army National Guard as a Master Sergeant after 23 years. The president of the Board of Education denounced the social media posts and also asked for Leonard to step down. “As Board President, it is my responsibility to consider, first and foremost, the well-being of the children of this District. The recent events with regard to the personal social media postings of Board Member Leonard are distracting the Board from its mission and purpose. We must lead by example and set an example to our students and community that reflect our goals, ideals and vision for the future of this District. Due to these and other concerns, I have rescinded Mr. Leonard’s appointment to the Safety, Security, and Transportation Committee, effective immediately,” Board President Joseph Nardini said. “Additionally, I am asking Mr. Leonard, for the sake of the students in this District, to consider the far-reaching effect of the events of the past few days and the effect upon the District and the students, and to consider tendering his resignation from his position as Board Member. We, as the Board, cannot act to remove a sitting Board Member based upon the allegations related to Mr. Leonard’s Facebook postings. However, Mr. Leonard is in a position to remove this distraction from the Board’s mission, and we implore him to consider the impact his continued service on the Board has had, and continues to have, upon the student body of the Toms River Regional School District. “It is with a heavy heart that I make this statement. I greatly appreciate Mr. Leonard’s service to our country. I have had respect for his dedication to the work of the Board and his tireless service to this community. I also have a great respect for the right of free speech and Mr. Leonard’s individual right to express his personal opinion. However, when such personal opinions impinge upon the ability of this Board to act on the many pressing issues facing this District, and indeed become an obstruction to the Board’s message and duties, those opinions do not remain personal to Mr. Leonard but are opinions and statements which the Board must disavow as not reflective of the Board or this District,” Nardini said in his comments. Superintendent David Healy released a statement regarding the issue: “It is important for me to express that neither I nor this school district support or condone the content and spirit of these messages and the opinions they reflect. It is equally important for me to remind our community what our school dis(Board - See Page 5)

One need look no further than our mission and vision to understand that we value the respect and dignity of every single person we serve and employ; that we work tirelessly to ensure the safety of our students and staff - not only their physical safety, but their social and emotional well-being within a welcoming and nurturing environment; and that we embrace the diversity of our student body and firmly believe that such diversity is a critical mechanism for teaching and learning the enduring virtues of respect, tolerance, and love for one another. It is my sworn duty and distinct honor to uphold that mission and vision. Rest assured that, despite the recent attention given to these unfortunate messages, I will continue to ensure that Toms River Regional Schools embodies strong character, integrity, and the best that public education has to offer.” The Toms River Board of Education is represented by attorney Stephan Leone. An attorney in his practice, Melanie Appleby, said that the board’s position is that Leonard’s statements on social media are his own, and do not represent the board. Further, the attorney will advise the board to discuss the matter in executive session, she said. This is the portion of public meetings where the officials speak in private. The board should conduct an investigation whether these statements violate the code of ethics, or statutes relating to bullying or discrimination, she said. This might not be the only complaint that
The Berkeley Times, August 3, 2019, Page 5 is being investigated. Last year’s election was particularly contentious. One candidate, Christopher Raimann, accused Leonard of bullying and harassment. Raimann filed a complaint with the School Ethics Committee which is still pending. Leonard wasn’t running that year; he’s actually up for re-election this year. The New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NJ) was the first to call for him to step down in this recent issue. “The bigoted, hateful and threatening social media posts shared by this elected board of education official serve to disqualify him for any position that has responsibility for the safety, security and well-being of New Jersey’s diverse student body,” said CAIR-NJ Executive Director James Sues. “The bigoted views expressed by Mr. Leonard have no place in an educational system that seeks to celebrate diversity and encourage students of all faiths and backgrounds to excel scholastically and to make positive contributions to our society. This is just a painful reminder of the extreme divisiveness that characterizes the current political climate at the national level.” The CAIR press release that called for Leonard to step down defined themselves as a Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization that has a goal to enhance understanding of Islam, protect civil rights, promote justice, and empower American Muslims. It also mentioned that they offer a series of guides to explain Muslim practices to public servants. It noted that they have seen “an unprecedented spike in bigotry
targeting American Muslims, immigrants and members of other minority groups since the election of Donald Trump as president.” Another civil rights group, Muslim Advocates, also called for him to step down. “No individual who is responsible for governing the education of children should ever engage in hate speech, bigoted conspiracy theories and violent, anti-Muslim rhetoric on social media. The harmful, ugly content that Daniel Patrick Leonard regularly posts to Facebook exposes him as someone wholly unfit to work with the diverse school children in Toms River and the state of New Jersey. Leonard’s views are completely inconsistent with the New Jersey School Boards Association’s mission to promote the achievement of ‘all students.’ He should resign or be removed from both offices. We’re asking New Jersey families of all backgrounds to urge the school boards association to remove him from his leadership position,” wrote Madihha Ahussain, the special counsel for Muslim Advocates. She illustrated that Facebook posts have deeper impact than people think. “Hateful, dehumanizing posts on social media like the kind shared by Mr. Leonard have serious consequences,” she said. “Rep. Ilhan Omar has already received death threats because people ignorantly and maliciously called her a terrorist and associated her with the 9/11 terror attacks - just as Mr. Leonard did in multiple Facebook posts. He also puts Rep. Rashida Tlaib in danger by effectively wishing that she would die. We have reported these posts to Facebook and await their determination if they are in violation of their

content policies.” In a statement issued on social media, 9th District Assembly hopeful Wayne Lewis said, “Toms River school board member Daniel Leonard had already publicly embarrassed Toms River when the public learned of his road rage incident that led to a car accident. Now, he has disgraced the very families he was elected to serve. He must resign from his position immediately. No one who makes light of bigotry, domestic violence, and the death of sitting congresswomen belongs in the professional world, let alone in a position of authority.” This is in relation to an incident in which he was charged with reckless driving and failing to maintain a lane on July 6. Leonard has since disputed these charges, and has hired an attorney to represent him. The police version of the incident is that Leonard was in his truck pursuing a driver in an Audi at a high rate of speed. He lost control of his vehicle, and wound up totaling it against a tree in an embankment off the intersection of Hooper Avenue and Bay Avenue. The officer writing the report stated that Leonard was at fault due to his conflicting statements, his demeanor when speaking with police, and that the distance his truck travelled into the embankment was indicative of a high rate of speed. Leonard’s version is that he was cut off by the Audi, whose driver kept hitting the brakes in front of him, and he was uncooperative because he had just been in a crash where his truck was totaled. -Kimberly Bosco contributed to this story

Eighth Annual School Supply Drive Underway BERKELEY - Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr., is proud to announce that his 8th Annual School Supply drive is underway. “Berkeley Township is a very supportive and giving community. We had record amounts of school supplies last year.

School supplies that are needed: Pens, Markers, Regular and Colored Pencils, Crayons, Rulers, Safety Scissors, folders, backpacks - etc. “All supplies collected go directly to Berkeley Township Elementary School Children in need.

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/.

Those restoring the car meet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 10 a.m. to
2 p.m. in their Whiting warehouse. They are looking for people who can help stripping the old paint off, doing upholstery work, engine work etc. Those interested in helping need to join the museum for $25 per year. “These types of projects help them keep the history of our automobiles alive,” Holiday City South Men’s Club President Bill Holencsak said.

May is Military Appreciation Month and Crossroads Realty is proud to announce that we participate in US Military on the Move, a program offered exclusively by Leading Real Estate Companies of the World. When buying or selling a home, we have a program designed to reward America’s fighting men and women for their service to our country. US Military on the Move is a free real estate rebate and information program that allows you to earn cash back when you buy or sell a home. When you by or sell a home through US Military on the Move, you receive a cash rebate on the actual sales price – not a fixed amount based on
a range of values – and you’ll receive your rebate at closing! Crossroads has been assisting veterans and civilians reach their home ownership dreams since 1966. Byron Kotzas, founder of Crossroads Realty, was a veteran of the Air Force, piloting missions from 1942 to 1945 in WWII. He also has been an avid supporter of the ongoing efforts of the USO. Byron was legendary for his philanthropic endeavors with many charities but the USO was very dear to home. We thank you for your service.

The society soon hopes to also install new window shades inside.

pictures and artifacts. The building was purchased on a tract of land leased from the town on July 9, 1980, for $40 from Enoch J. Potter and his wife. They had bought it from Ralph Gowdy and his wife in 1886. It was used as the Town Hall and Police Department until 1978, when the current municipal complex was completed. Collections focus on the history of Berkeley Township, including deeds dating back to 1769 and a variety of donated artifacts. Town relics have been preserved for generations within the museum. Membership in the Berkeley Historical Society currently numbers 110 families, but according to Beer, they could always use more. School visits also used to be more popular during the year, he said, and classes are welcome to visit.

Lighthouse:
Continued From Page 1 this year. Located on the northernmost tip of Long Beach Island, the lighthouse was once regarded as the one of the most crucial “change of course” points for coastal vessels. “Vessels bound to and from New York along the New Jersey coastline depended on the Barnegat Lighthouse to avoid the shoals extending from the shoreline. The swift currents, shifting sandbars, and the offshore shoals challenged the skills of even the most experienced sailor,” according to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Nicknamed “Ole’ Barney,” it was also focal point of the Barnegat Light Borough, standing 172 feet above the shoreline where the Barnegat Bay and Atlantic Ocean converge. What we know now as Barnegat Light was happened upon in 1609 by the English explorer Henry Hudson, according to the Barnegat Light Tourism Coalition. Hudson stamped the land with the name “Barendegat,” meaning ‘Inlet of the Breakers.’ At this point in history, it would still be 250 years before Barendegat would receive its defi ning feature. The Friends of the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, a nonprofit organization that now runs the state park, set out a brief timeline of the lighthouse’s evolution since it was constructed in 1857: Designed and commissioned by General George Meade, the Barnegat Lighthouse was lit for the fi rst time on January 1, 1859 with approximately 200 spectators in attendance. General Meade played a major role in the historic Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War in 1863, clashing with the Confederates led by General Robert E. Lee, according to the US National Park Service. Fast forward 30 years, the lighthouse received a new lightkeeper’s house for the lightkeeper, two assistants and their families in 1889. 1926: The land the lighthouse resides on is now under the ownership of the State of New Jersey. Plans are made to extinguish the light. 1927: The lens is removed from the lighthouse and a lighthouse ship is anchored eight miles offshore to replace the lighthouse as a navigational aid. Between 1940 and 1944, the lighthouse is used as a lookout tower for enemy ships before it is decommissioned as a Coast Guard facility. “The Coast Guard, recreational boaters and sports fisherman also use the Inlet that sits in the shadow of the current Barnegat Lighthouse that served as a beacon to seafarers from 1857 until just after World War II,” according to the Barnegat Light Tourism Coalition. From 1944 to 2009, the Barnegat Lighthouse remained dark. Meanwhile, the state regained ownership of the lighthouse in 1946 and over a decade later, it is officially dubbed a state park in 1957. It isn’t until 2007, when the Friends of
The Berkeley Times, August 3, 2019, Page 13 Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is chartered, that the park is reinvigorated. In 2008, the Friends hosted a 150th celebration gala in preparation for the re-lighting of the lighthouse. A whopping 8,000 people were in attendance. On January 1, 2009, the Barnegat Lighthouse was relit. Over the past century, the light became an essential facet of life on the northern end of the island, which was once known as Barnegat City. In 1904, Barnegat City seceded from Long Beach Township, becoming a borough in itself. It was later coined Barnegat Light in 1948, in homage to the structure, according to the borough. Now, it stands as a historical landmark visited by tourists and locals year round. As a state park, the area now features a lush nature trail through the maritime forest, a Visitor Center, an outdoor picnic area and gazebo, which was constructed in 2016. The area is open to everyone, whether it is to provide a beautiful and epic background to a wedding photo shoot or simply a place of respite for locals. The Barnegat Lighthouse sees thousands of visitors each year, especially during the summer months. Some like the view, and some like the adventure of climbing the 217 steps to the top. Since taking over in 2007 in order to promote and preserve the area, the Friends of the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park have completed the following: Purchased and installed 22-mile Coast Guard approved beacon Replaced the Lantern Room’s Windows Relit the Barnegat Lighthouse as an official navigational aid Purchased a computer and portable PA system for lecture series Supplied the Visitor Center with energy efficient bulbs Provided a new TV and DVD for educational presentations Added 10 new picnic tables to the park Purchased and installed a new closed circuit TV and Intercom system in the lighthouse for increased security Beautified the Park with the new landscaping and sprinkler system in the front of the Visitor Center According to the NJDEP, the Coast Guard approved beacon “creates a single beam that can be visible for up to 22 nautical miles.” While the original lens was removed in 1927, you can still get a look at it on display at the Barnegat Lighthouse Historical Society’s Museum. The Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weather permitting, from Memorial Day through Labor Day for a fee of $3 per person. Children ages 6 to 11 are $1 and children ages 5 and under are free and must be accompanied by an adult. The Friends also host a series of special events including Lighthouse Night Climbs, concerts, and lecture series of topics of interest. The next Lighthouse Night Climb will be held on August 17, 7-9 p.m. at the park. On August 7, National Lighthouse Day, there will be a host of special activities for kids at the park.

New Jersey Natural Gas Encourages Customers To Always Call 811 Before They Dig NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Natural Gas is reminding homeowners and contractors – whoever is going to dig – to call 811 at least three business days prior to excavating to ensure all public underground utilities are properly marked. It’s free and it’s the law. Careless digging can result in the disruption of vital services, property damage, repair costs, fines and even injuries. According to the Common Ground Alliance, every six minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first calling 811. Every digging project requires a call to 811 and should only begin after the site has been marked. Dialing 811 will connect residents to New Jersey One Call, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig. Professional locators will then visit the dig site to mark the approximate locations of underground utilities with flags, paint or both. Yellow indicates a natural gas line. “With spring here, and home and business owners eager to start outdoor projects, we strongly encourage everyone to call 811, no matter the size of the project” said Mariellen Dugan, chief operating officer at New Jersey Natural Gas. “Most importantly, by calling 811, homeowners and professionals are making an important decision that can help keep them and their communities safe.” During National Safe Digging Month, and throughout the year, NJNG encourages homeowners to take the following steps before beginning to dig: Always call 811 at least three, but not more than 10, business days prior to the start of
School District Seeks Bus Attendants
digging, regardless of the depth of the dig or familiarity with the property. Before digging, confirm the markout has taken place. Yellow indicates the presence of underground natural gas lines. Respect all markings. Take a photo of the
markout because inclement weather may wash away painted markings. Move the location of the project if it is near utility line markings. Dig with care – hand dig within two feet of marked underground utility lines.
For more information about 811 and safe digging practices, visit nj1-call.org or the My Safety section of njng.com. In the event of damage to a natural gas pipeline immediately call 911 followed by a call to NJNG at 800-GAS-LEAK (427-5325).

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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
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.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Need Family Time 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’,

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.

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.

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.

Cooling:
Continued From Page 1 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 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. For information on weather related services, residents can keep up to date with the Department of Human Services at co. ocean.nj.us/OC/OCDHS/frmHomeOCDHS. aspx or follow the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department for updates on social media at facebook.com/OceanCountySheriff/. In the meantime, the Toms River Office of Emergency Management provides the following tips to stay safe and out of the heat, should a cooling center not be available to you: • Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to the early morning or the late evening. • Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. • Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing. • Drink plenty of water. • Young children and pets should never be left unattended in a vehicle under any circumstance. “The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a DANGEROUS SITUATION in which heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors,” stated Toms River OEM officials.

ARounD tHe JeRsey sHoRe Summer Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days Set
OCEAN COUNTY – The summer is a great time to dispose of old paint, pesticides and a host of other household chemicals that may be collecting in closets, garages and basements. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management is again scheduling a series of Household Hazardous Waste collection days later this summer. “This is the perfect opportunity to clean out those old products that can pose a threat to the environment and should not be thrown away with everyday trash,” said Freeholder Gary Quinn, liaison to the Department of Solid Waste Management. Waste can be brought to three locations on three separate dates. The program is free, but space is limited and preregistration is strongly suggested. Collection days are set for: • August 10 at the Jackson Municipal Building parking lot, 95 West Veterans Highway, Jackson. Register by calling 732-367-0802. • September 7 at the Long Beach Township Department of Public Works, 7910 Long Beach Boulevard. Please call 609-978-0913 to register. The drop off locations will be open from 9 am to 3 pm. County residents may bring their waste to the closest or most convenient drop off. Materials accepted at the household hazardous waste collection sites include: paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aer-

Materials not accepted include oxygen tanks and boat flares. Residents can drop off a maximum of 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the County’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted. Waste will be accepted only from county residents and farmers. Businesses and government agencies are not eligible. Program information is also on the county website at www.co.ocean.nj.us/recycle. “I’m proud to say that this is the 30th year that the county has run these collections and over the past 3 decades our residents have helped to safely dispose of more than 15 million pounds of hazardous materials,” said Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines. Household hazardous waste collection dates earlier this spring saw 232,965 pounds of material collected. Quinn said residents who miss a date should contact their municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers, which allow for year-round drop off of a host of materials including used paint, motor oil and car batteries. “Our residents should check with us or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round, eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Quinn said.

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.
