A ribbon cutting for the Howell Organic Community Garden (HOCG) expansion project was held on July 13 at the garden, located at the corner of Squankum-Yellowbrook and Adelphia Road in Howell Township. By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL –Officials broke ground on an expansion project at the Howell Organic Community Garden with the hopes of creating a bigger, more efficient space for local gardeners and the

community. A ribbon cutting for the Howell Organic Community Garden ( HOCG) expa n sion project was held on July 13 at the garden, located at the corner of Squankum-Yellowbrook and Adelphia

Road in Howell Township. Work is slated to be completed by October 15. According to Richard Perreira, president of the HOCG, “ the expa nsion i ncludes an increase in the

size of the garden by 25 percent which includes 13 new plots, a new permanent fence around the increased area, and upgrade to the access driveway.” Of those 13, seven new plots are to be (Garden - 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 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 (Cooling - See Page 5)

Wall Stadium Could Be Replaced By Townhomes

By Kimberly Bosco WALL – It’s a sad day for local racing fans. The definitive “roar at the Jersey Shore” now has an expiration date. The Wall Stadium Speedway announced on July 24 that this racing season will be its last. Just shy of its 70th year, the speedway owner Wall Speedway Proper ties LLC could give way to developer Pulte Homes, which plans to construct 348 townhouses on the property. “For 69 years, Wall Stadium Speedway has presented thrilling races for fans to enjoy. Bumper-to-bumper, wheel-to-wheel racing action and wild wrecks! Only 7 miles from the beach, we are the best show at the Jersey Shore!,” reads the speedway’s website. Located on Route 34 South in Wall Township, Wall Stadium coined itself the “most exciting racetrack” in the state. However, the track since been “deemed grossly underutilized for decades” by its owners, who note that the majority of the property is made up of parking lots, empty most days. The expansive property is the site of a proposal by Pulte Homes for 348 two-bedroom and th ree-bed room tow n houses, including 70 affordable housing units. The project has yet to be reviewed by the township Zoning Board of Adjustment. According to a repor t by the Asbur y Park Press, Wall Township Administrator Jeff Bertrand believes the timing of Pulte Homes’ proposal to be deliberate in order to align with the township’s recent settlement with the state that would require the placement of 1,250 affordable housing units in future development projects. This isn’t Wall Stadium’s first encounter with imminent closure. In 2005, there was talk of developers buying the site to construct homes and office buildings. In 2008, the speedway was “closed for good,” which only lasted a year.

Garden:

Continued From Page 1 lea sed to HOCG member s to g row organic food. There will then be six PAR, or “Plant a Row,” plots, which are rows designated to growing fresh, organic vegetables destined for food pa nt r ies a nd the tow nsh ip’s Sen ior Center. Per reira explained that the “Plant a Row” plots create a “higher product ivit y of exist i ng space which will be bet t e r prot e ct e d f rom t he local w i ld l i fe by a bet t e r fe nce,” wh ich will in t u r n yield higher donations of locally sourced produce for local food pantries. The expansion project will not only increase the amount of produce harvested in general, but it will also provide more opportunities to gardeners looking for a space to work. There is currently a wait list to join the HOCG. Wit h t he ex p a n sio n , t he Howel l Township Environmental Commission hopes to “afford further opportunities to local residents who have been on a waiting list to lease plots at the Garden, and provide increased charitable donations of fresh food to local food banks and assistance agencies,” Perreira added. Anyone wishing to get on the wait list can download an application from the HOCG website at howellorganiccommunit ygardens.com. No membership

fees will be charged at this time. Off icials from the Howell Township Environmental Commission also noted that the project will be funded through a combination of township open space funds and a grant from the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commission (ANJEC). ANJEC is a non-prof it organization that “helps New Jersey environmental commissions, individuals, local and st ate agencies preser ve nat u ral re sources and promote sustainable communities,” according to their website. T h r ou g h t he g r a nt , A NJ E C w i l l fund $1,500 of the project, while the t ow n sh ip d o n at e s $2 ,6 0 0 f r om it s Open Space Funds “to assist with the cost of the fencing, as the permanent fence is to be on town owned property designated as Open Space.” In addition, the HOCG will be funding $1,000 on its own. “Initially, the HOCG was going to match the tow n’s donation of up to $3,500, but due to a savings realized in a revised estimate from the fence contractor, both the town and the HOCG realized a savings,” said Per reira. Since its inception four years ago, the HOCG has proven to be a successful Howell institution creating opportunities for numerous local organizations including the Master Gardeners of Monmouth County, 4-H, and Boy Scouts and Girl Scout troops. “They are pleased to par tner with

A NJ EC, the Howell Envi ron ment al Com mission, The Howell Tow nship G r e e n Te a m a n d t h e Tow n s h i p of Howell, to continue their mission of fostering sustainable methods of food production in the local community,” st ated the Envi ron ment al Com m ission. The HOCG is open from early spring through late fall; however, composting activities that are utilized for fertilizing the planting rows take place year

round, Per reira said. Anyone can join the garden, whether you are a young novice or a Master Gardener. “ T he C om mu n it y G a r d e n , a s a n entity, offers a wealth of experience from its members and to its members to assist in succeeding at organic gardening and its many challenges. Many members utilize their space as family plots and it’s rewarding to see children and young adults gardening,” he said.

Cooling:

Continued From Page 1 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 Howell Times, August 3, 2019, Page 5 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.

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’,

Monmouth County Correctional Institution Receives Highest Mark On Inspection FREEHOLD – Sheriff Shaun Golden is proud to announce that the Monmouth County Correctional Institution recently completed an unannounced inspection by the New Jersey Department of Corrections and was acknowledged for being 100 percent compliant with state standards. The annual review consisted of a comprehensive study, which encompassed all areas of the facility, and, was conducted by two state auditors from June 24 through June 28. “This grade of excellence reaffirms the fact that the Monmouth County Correctional Institution operates under the highest of standards and continues to meet or exceed the state requirements set forth to run this top correctional facility,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden. A total of 600 standards were reviewed at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution, which is a direct supervision jail. The facility houses county, state and federal inmates. The

team of auditors toured the entire jail and examined standards such as security, medical, personnel, fiscal management, planning, design, access to courts, food services, sanitization, searches, admissions, mail, inmate services, disciplinary procedures and property control. As part of the inspection the team also interviewed staff and inmates. The inspection is mandated annually by the state. In 2017 the facility was also 100 percent compliant. “I commend this team effort led by Acting Warden Donald Sutton, along with his staff for their commitment to excellence and for making this achievement possible,” said Sheriff Golden. In addition to being state certified, the Monmouth County Correctional Institution is nationally accredited by the American Correctional Association and the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare.

CASA for Children of Monmouth County Seeks Volunteers C O LT S N E C K – C o u r t A p p o i n t e d Special Advocates for Children (CASA for Children) of Monmouth County is seeking adults, 21 years and older to act as advocates for children in foster care. A CASA volunteer is a trained citizen who is appointed by a Judge to represent the best interests of a child in court. There are currently 550 children from Monmouth County who have been removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect. Although CASA for Children of Monmouth County continues to serve more of these children each year, the need for CASA volunteers continues to grow as more children enter the child welfare and court systems. To help meet this need, CASA is seeking caring, committed adults who are willing to speak up for a child as they go through the court system. CASA volunteers work one-on-one with an abused or neglected child, advocating for his or her best interests. Essentially, CASA volunteers “speak up” for these children in the court and child welfare systems, making sure they are safe and

well-cared for, are getting the services they need, and are placed in a permanent, safe, nurturing home as quickly as possible. These children may also have health, learning, emotional, or psychological challenges, and need special services that the Court should be aware of via the CASA volunteer’s updates. “CASA volunteers don’t require any specific education. All they need is compassion, objectivity, and a commitment to children. We’ll train and supervise them to be effective voices in court,” said Cynthia Van Brunt, Executive Director for CASA for Children of Monmouth County. “Our volunteers come from all walks of life, and diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. They are ordinary individuals who rise to the extraordinary by making a difference in the life of a child.” Anyone interested in volunteer opportunities should visit casaofmonmouth.org for upcoming information sessions and program details or contact Lynn Goelz at 732-460-9100 Email: lynn@casaforchildrenmc.org for more information.

County to Host First-Ever Grown in Monmouth Restaurant Week

FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders invites residents and visitors to support the County’s local farmers and businesses by attending the first annual Grown in Monmouth Restaurant Week, which runs from Sunday, July 28 to Sunday, August 4. “The working relationship between restaurants and local growers is so vital to the overall economic climate of the County,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Division of Economic Development. “The 46 restaurants already signed up are from all different regions of the County and will offer an array of delicious dishes that feature ingredients that are grown in Monmouth County.” Restaurants participating in the Grown in Monmouth Restaurant Week will feature at least one dish that is made with ingredients that have been grown in Monmouth County.

16,000 communities worldwide, including military bases.

Lexi’s passing, which is July 23. “It is never easy losing someone from your community, especially when that resident is so young,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Scharfenberger, Ph.D., former Middletown Mayor. “This remarkable family was able to channel their grief into charitable work in Lexi’s honor. I would like to thank the Mason family for including the Freeholders in this tribute to their daughter.” In their daughter’s honor, the Mason family created the Alexis Mason Foundation in 2013 to celebrate Lexi’s life, inspiration and kindness. According to its website, the Alexis Mason Foundation awards scholarships to children for sports, arts and academics so that they can follow their passion and dreams. The Foundation also makes a monetary donation to both the American Heart Association and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for their continued work in heart research.

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.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Rabies Awareness: Keep Your Pet’s Vaccination Up To Date

BELMAR – The Monmouth County Health Department (MCHD) reminds residents that rabies in wildlife continues to pose a risk to pets and people. A Belmar resident was bitten by a raccoon in their backyard, which resulted in the resident receiving rabies post-exposure treatment. The suspected raccoon has been captured by the Belmar Police Department with assistance from the Monmouth County SPCA, the agency that provides animal control services to the borough, and will be tested for rabies. Because rabies is fatal once symptoms develop, the MCHD advises residents to take precautions to prevent the spread of rabies by protecting their pets. “Protecting your pets by keeping them current on their rabies vaccine is an impor-

tant safeguard between wildlife rabies and human exposure,” said Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto, liaison to the MCHD. “Not only does the vaccine keep your pet safe, but it can help keep you and your family safe as well.” In addition to vaccinating your pets for rabies, there are several things residents can do to protect themselves and their pets: • Avoid wildlife and animals you do not know. • Keep your pet on a leash. Do not allow your pet to roam; it can come in contact with rabid wildlife. • Never feed or touch wild or stray animals, especially stray cats, bats, skunks, raccoons, foxes or groundhogs. • Teach your children that they should tell you if they were bitten or scratched by an animal.

Call your doctor and the local health department if bitten or exposed to saliva or blood of a wild or stray animal. • Contact your veterinarian if your pet was exposed to a bat, raccoon, skunk or other wild carnivore. “If you are bitten by an animal, wash the wound immediately with soap and water and seek medical attention,” said Christopher Merkel, Monmouth County’s Public Health Coordinator. According to the CDC, rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The vast majority of rabies cases reported to the CDC each year from New Jersey occur in wild animals like raccoons, skunks and bats. The CDC describes that the presence of rabies in all wildlife may be indicat-

ed by unprovoked aggression, impaired movement, paralysis, lack of coordination, unusually friendly behavior and/or disorientation. CDC explains that the rabies virus infects the central nervous system, ultimately causing disease in the brain and death. The early symptoms of rabies in people are similar to that of many other illnesses, including fever, headache and general weakness or discomfort. As the disease progresses, more specific symptoms appear and may include insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, hallucinations, agitation, hypersalivation (increase in saliva), difficulty swallowing and hydrophobia (fear of water). Death usually occurs within days of the onset of these symptoms. For more information, call the Monmouth County Health Department at 732-431-7456.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Severe Thunderstorm Causes Power Outages, Downed Trees and Damage

MONMOUTH COUNTY – Beginning at approximately 6 p.m. on July 22, a severe thunderstorm whipped through Monmouth County causing widespread power outages, downed trees and damage to homes and other structures. Road closures were caused by downed power lines, toppled trees, and traffic channelization was utilized in many communities to control intersections where traffic signals were rendered inoperable by the intense storm. The Monmouth County Office of Emergency Management began an immediate assessment of the storm’s impact and activated the Monmouth County Emergency Operations Center staffed with representatives of county departments and agencies and utility representatives. An assessment of the immediate needs of municipal jurisdictions was immediately undertaken and the coordination of rendering appropriate assistance began through the local emergency management coordinators, utilizing Monmouth County available resources where needed. In addition to the activation of the Monmouth County Emergency Operations Center for this storm, Wall and Howell Township also activated their Emergency Operations Centers. There was a total of eighty road closures reported as a result of the storm including traffic signal outages and/or trees blocking roadways. The Monmouth County Department of Public Works installed emergency generators at critical traffic signals throughout the county and had those signals operational by 5 a.m. Tuesday morning. The Monmouth County Department of Public Works cleared the roads that did not have downed power lines involved within four hours from the

abatement of the storm. Monmouth County OEM contacted all 56 long term care centers within Monmouth County to ensure their sustainability throughout the event. County OEM also provided staff and resources to install a backup generator at Howell Township Police Department when their unit failed during the storm. Jersey Central Power and Light reported approximately 135,000 power outages due to the storm which equates to approximately 45 percent of the county without power. Areas reporting the most significant power outages were Belmar, Lake Como, Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, Wall, Howell, Upper Freehold, Sea Girt, Tinton Falls and Freehold Township and Millstone. It was reported that approximately half of Upper Freehold Township was without power as was a third of Freehold Borough. Parts of many other communities also experienced power outages. The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center, between the start of the storm at approximately 6 p.m. Monday and 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, had a total of 2,670 emergency calls and 3,706 non-emergency calls for a total of 6,376 calls in that 12- hour period. In a similar 12 hour period on a regular day, there were a total of 706 calls – 193 emergency, 513 non-emergency. “We applied the lessons we learned in Superstorm Sandy back in October 2012 and responded appropriately, efficiently and effectively, working in harmony with local officials and OEM staff to meet the challenges this storm presented,” said Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden. “We shall continue to assist our communities as Monmouth County recovers from this unexpected event.”

PrimeTime Center Moves to New Eatontown Location

By Fran Kirschner EATONTOWN – PrimeTime Center (PTC), a day program that emphasizes independent living and actual community experiences for adults with developmental disabilities, has moved into a 7,000 sq. ft. location at 51 James Way, Eatontown. An open house is being planned late September for PTC’s new Eatontown location. Dave Mock, PTC director, said the former center at 240 Broad Street, Eatontown, was not big enough to accommodate about 65 participants and 15 staff members. The new facility includes a state of the art kitchen that will be used for meal preparation, multiple activity rooms equipped with smartboard technology, and a large common area where participants can eat, socialize, and cultivate friendships. With the larger space, PTC also plans to offer

pre-vocational services to clients sometime in the fall. Mock said, “Learning important job skills will lead participants to greater independence and involvement in their community.” PTC also has centers at 60 High Street, Carteret, and 485 Brick Boulevard, Brick. In its three New Jersey locations, PTC employs about 45 staff members and services more than 200 participants throughout New Jersey. When they began in the summer of 2012, PTC had a staff of four and three participants. Eligible adults can apply for PTC services through the Division of Developmental Disabilities. Transportation is provided to and from the program for participants who live within a five-mile radius. For more information about the new Eatontown site, call 848-257-1400 or email Dave Mock at office@primetimecenter.org. Visit primetimecenter.org.

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.

“The Royal Flush” Begins 2019 Service

FREEHOLD – “The Royal Flush” pump out boat, which removes waste from recreational boats on the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers, recently resumed operation on Fridays and Saturdays until October 12, 2019, weather permitting. Hours of operation are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. “The Royal Flush is one of the many services that the County offers residents,” said Freeholder Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Monmouth County Health Department (MCHD). “On behalf of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, I urge boaters to take advantage of this free service instead of dumping waste in no discharge zones.”

The Royal Flush is owned and maintained by the MCHD and operated by the NY/NJ Baykeeper organization through a cooperative agreement established in 2015. “This free service to our community keeps out waterways clean and safe,” said Christopher P. Merkel, Monmouth County Public Health Coordinator. “The boat is available to all recreational boaters and is not limited to Monmouth County residents.” Since 2001, the Royal Flush has serviced over 16,400 boats and properly disposed of over 591,000 gallons of sewage. In 2018, 683 boats were serviced and 23,200 gallons of sewage were

disposed. Boaters can contact the Royal Flush by radio on VHF Channel 9 or by cell at 732-890-6142 on days the pump out boat is operational. In addition to Fridays and Saturdays, The Royal Flush will serve boaters on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Service will be provided on a first come, first serve basis. For more information, contact the MCHD at 732-431-7456 option three or go to VisitMonmouth.com/health.

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.

• 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.
