–Photo provided by Jackson School District Jackson School District Director of Buildings and Grounds Edward Ostroff recently reported to Board of Education members that the district’s $5 million facility will supplement spacing needs of its current facility on Don Conner Blvd. Ground was broken earlier this summer. By Bob Vosseller JAC K SON - T he tally for incidents of va nd a l i s m a nd t he sales totals for items on t he lu nch me nu were among the subjects discussed during the Board of Educa-
tion’s July meeting. Board members heard the details of two PowerPoint presentations related to food service and anti-bullying/violence reports. Raymond Milewski,
the district’s director of security presented his latest report concerning all incidents of violence, bullying and vandalism in the district’s 10 schools in the last six months. The data collected
will be reported to the state. The objective is to collect incident data concerning any serious student misconduct in the areas of vandalism, hate based i ncident s, weapons (Bullying - 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. (Cooling - See Page 6)
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Township officials introduced a bonding ordinance that would be used toward various capital improvements around the community including projects within its park facilities. During the council’s July 23 meeting council members unanimously voted to introduce the bond ordinance which would provide for various capital improvements and the acquisition of various capital equipment appropriating $3,217,809.93 and authorizing the issuance of $2,374,958.00 bonds and notes to finance those costs and re-appropriating $717,853.68. Such capital improvements include township facilities such as its various parks. Resident and dog owner Jim Bezanson expressed concerns about the upkeep of the township’s dog park located in Johnson’s Park during the public portion period of the meeting. Bezanson said he had been in communication with Township Business Administrator Terence M. Wall regarding the issue. “Parking is a little low, grass is about 15 inches high and there is a big chunk of it today is flooded out from last night’s rain and we had discussed many of the grading issues. I wanted to see where we stand with that as people hammer me every day on what is going on at the dog park,” said Bezanson. Wall responded saying that “ongoing maintenance is a topic of discussion within public works and we are looking to make sure maintenance is regular.” Regarding an issue of a gazebo project, Wall said an Eagle Scout project may cover work toward that endeavor. Concerning grading, Wall said he spoke with the public works director about that ongoing issue. “There is a natural topography there that doesn’t lend itself to scrapping it all back because you are disrupting a slightly rolling field where dogs run and play.” “There is a piece where a faucet is left on that is flooded dogs drink water there,” Wall added. “As far as the topography and flattening it that is a bit of a task so we have to see whether that makes sense which is separate from the parking lot in the areas where there are potholes. We have to make sure that parking lot is attended to appropriately.” (Council - See Page 5)

Bullying:
Continued From Page 1 and substance abuse. The report centered on reported incidents from the period of January to June 2019 and noted 22 incidents of violence, nine incidents of vandalism, 19 HIB incidents and one incident involving a weapon. Thirty-nine substance abuse incidents were recorded. There were 17 drug paraphernalia incidents, three incidents involving alcohol and 17 involving use of marijuana, two involving prescription drugs and seven involving unauthorized prescription drugs. Police were notified regarding 25 incidents though no complaints were filed
according to the presentation. Sixteen st udents received a suspension as a result of incidents and 61 out of school suspensions were also issued by school officials. There were six student victims and 85 student offenders. It was noted that 58 investigations involving some form of bias were performed with 19 being confirmed. Milewski said that the district would continue to bring school/district safety teams together to review data and to use the collected data to plan programs and inform practices, approaches and curriculum and partner with the Jackson Police Department. Superintendent Dr. Stephen Genco said that “being we’re a large district we’re going to look high” in comparison to

some other districts within the state and county. Genco added that district off icials will also provide refresher training for school administrators and educate all stakeholders. “We are very similar to what we saw last year at this time,” Genco said. Milewski said that during the week of Oct. 1-5, students in the district observed a week of respect as an overall theme as a means to promote racial, gender, gender identification and religious harmony. The classification of an HIB incident is any incident that involves an act that is deemed to have involved an action that is demeaning, offensive text messages, name calli ng, of fensive com ments, taunting, or teasing by one student or students to another student. Assistant Superintendent Nicole Pormilli said “it is a three-tier approach in developing social emotional skills.” Student offenders are counseled and in repeat cases receive “one on one sessions with a counselor. It is not a let’s try one approach.” District Food Service Director Joseph Immordino also reviewed the district’s food service providing data from the recently completed school year. District sales totals in al a carte sale of food items increased by 3.37 percent from last year. In 2018 the total was $601,183 and it increased to $621,413 this year. The district’s elementary schools noted a decrease. Last year’s total was $201,683
while this year’s total was $200,121 representing a decrease of 0.77 percent. Middle Schools in the district saw a 7.60 percent increase from 2018’s $165,356 to this year’s $177,919. That trend continued with the district’s two high schools whose total grew by 3.94 percent rising from $234,144 in 2018 to $243,373 this year. Immordino included various photos withi n his PowerPoi nt present ation showing displays of food served at several school awards programs during the school year as well as the daily menu showing healthy choices for students. Board members also received some good news from Edward Ostroff, the district’s director of Buildings and Grounds during the session. Ostroff reported on the progress of construction of the district’s $5 million satellite transportation project. “Work is underway and we are actually ahead of schedule. We are hoping to occupy it by March,” Ostroff said. The district’s current transportation facility is falling short on space for its bus and vehicle storage and work areas. Board members have been examining expanding the transportation facility for more than two years now and the project broke ground earlier this summer. Funding for the project will come from surplus funds and was not part of this year’s adopted spending plan. Genco previously said facility to be located on district owned property near Jackson Liberty High School will be paid with capital reserve money.

Council:
Continued From Page 1 “The governing body is interested in the capital ordinance as well for funding to the extent that we may engage in more capital work for that,” Wall added. Wall said the divot issue and potholes would be an ongoing maintenance issue and that “the public works department is aware of. It is a recurring issue. There is a digging of holes and that is what dogs do so we will schedule regular maintenance.” Bezanson said that the high crab grass present featured “areas that are very, very thick. I understand the rolling topography. There is a 25-foot wide pond there and I know if a house had issues like that the developer would have to make sure it did that right. This is township land. I appreciate your guys’ ongoing conversation and I look forward to speaking to you again.” Council President Robert Nixon thanked Bezanson for bringing the issue to the governing body’s attention. “Parks improvement is a major priority,” he said, noting that council liaison Councilman Andrew Kern is working on the issue of improving the township’s recreational facilities. Kern was responsible for a ruling earlier this year that allowed for a funding mechanism for such improvements through private and business donations for the sole purpose of projects designed to enhance the township’s parks and recreation resources. Bezanson noted that some resident’s reference to the dog park being new was
The Jackson Times, August 3, 2019, Page 5 a point of humor as “to my knowledge the dog park has been around for at least 10 years.” “Everything is about re-branding,” Nixon joked. Council members unanimously approved an ordinance on final reading for the acceptance of a land donation on Frank Applegate Road. The governing body also approved the introduction of ordinances designed to make its construction codes more uniform and to amend a township code involving landlord registration and responsibility. The council also voted to introduce an ordinance which would amend a township code entitled housing standards as well as to modify code concerning rental and lease housing standards. Council members also approved an ordinance authorizing the lease of property at 113 N. New Prospect Rd. Officials authorized a capital budget amendment for the township’s municipal capital budget for 2019 and also ratified an adjustment to the contract price of a contract awarded to Mark Woszczak, Mechanical Contractors for emergency/ non-emergency road, storm sewer and infrastructure work. Council members approved a resolution authorizing the execution of a contract award between Jackson and Action Uniform Co. LLC. For the purchase of police uniforms on an as needed basis for a two year period with the option to renew for one additional two year period. Construction of an expanded Pine Drive
jug handle and placing maintenance responsibility with the private owner was also approved through a resolution during the meeting Looking to review its master plan officials agreed to a professional services agreement not to exceed $20,000 with Remington & Vernick Engineers, as the township planner to reexamine the master plan. The Council also voted to approve a resolution for a pedestrian safety grant from the New Jersey Division of Highway

Cooling:
Continued From Page 1 These cooling stations are similar to warming centers, but the difference lies in the specifics. According to Tracy Maxwell of the Ocean County Department of Human Services, “there is legislation dictating warming centers,” but not cooling centers. Maxwell added that counties are not required to have a warming center established, per se, but they do need to have a plan in place should one be called for. Ocean County works with other agencies, such as nonprofits, to facilitate this. This is not the case with cooling stations. According to Maxwell, these are typically handled by the municipalities themselves. The county lends a helping hand when it comes to spreading the word about where residents can find a cooling station. “When temperatures soar it is customary that county government will make an effort to alert their residents by posting information about the opening of cooling centers on their county website,” according to NJ 2-1-1. As with Code Blue, “information regarding the availability of weather related services, provided by non-profit and volunteer organizations, will be offered on the Ocean County Department of Human Services website, through email and via social media,” according to the Department of Human Services. Those who suffer from homelessness, or simply do not have access to cool air during a heat wave, are invited to visit a cooling 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 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 fi nger 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/.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE County Prepared To Service Pets with Disaster Relief By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY — According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, over a third of US households are also home to a furry companion. In Ocean County, many local families have dogs or cats they consider part of the family. In an effort to service both humans and animals in the event of an emergency, Ocean County has become the newest member of the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program. AKC Reunite is the largest non-profit pet identification and recovery service provider in the United States. Their national program, AKC Pet Disaster Relief, is dedicated to keeping pets and their owners safe in response to natural or civil disasters. In collaboration with local American Kennel Club dog clubs and dog lovers, AKC

Reunite presented an emergency trailer to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office. The AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will be available to dispatch to any disaster scene that needs assistance sheltering pets. “We are beyond grateful to AKC Reunite and the Kennel Club of Philadelphia for providing us with this life-saving tool for our community,” said Kevin Cooney of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office. “Our department is now better equipped to help pets and pet owners in the case of a disaster.” In the event of an emergency, the AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailers create a safe, temporary home for at least 65 pets during the first 72 hours after a disaster is declared. Inside the trailers you will find essential animal care items including crates and carriers, AKC Reunite microchips, an AKC Reunite universal microchip scanner, bowls, collars, leashes, fans, lighting and a generator, cleaning supplies and maintenance items. These supplies can be used as co-location shelters, where people can evacuate with their pets, as well as emergency animal shelters for displaced animals. “This is the 76th trailer donated through the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program. The trailer will provide critical resources to help the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office quickly assist its community when responding to natural disasters,” said Tom Sharp, AKC Reunite CEO. “Safe, effective pet sheltering solutions are important following a disaster, and we are pleased that an AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will be available to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office as a vital tool.” A generous donation of $100,000, courtesy of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, funded the purchase of the OCSD’s new trailer. While Ocean County was the first, the donations funds will continue to provide trailers to eight other counties throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “Our association is thrilled to be able to bring such an important resource like the AKC Pet Disaster Relief Trailer to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office,” said Wayne Ferguson, President of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia. “The trailer will help the organization assist their community in times of disaster”.

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.

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.

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.

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’,

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.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE How To Cut Down Your Junk Mail By Carley Doktorski TOMS RIVER - There are several ways to opt out of getting unsolicited flyers and catalogs that may land in your mailbox daily. A press release from the Ocean County Freeholders was sent to educate residents about several services to help reduce the amount of wasted time and wasted space. DMA, the Data and Marketing Association, started a direct marketing opt-out service 10 years ago, when direct marketers realized that sending unwanted mail going straight to the trash was wasteful and expensive, the release said. The marketers then teamed up with DMA to offer an opt-out option. To sign up, there is a $2 fee and the service lasts 10 years. Visit dmachoice.thedma.org to access their services online. The Freeholders also wanted residents to know about CatalogChoice.org, a free opt-out service. Catalog Choice will send merchants catalog opt-out requests on your behalf. Although Catalog Choice does not have the ability to take residents’ names off prospecting lists, they recommend using DMA in tandem with their services for it. “Everyone with a mailing address gets about 41 pounds of junk mail annually,”
Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari said. “Some of our residents would prefer to not have to dispose of junk mail. There are ways to reduce its volume.” With more than 170,000 seniors living in Ocean County, this volume of unsolicited mail can become burdensome, he said. If a consumer also does not want to receive credit card offers, they can contact one of the big credit reporting agencies, including Equifax, Experian, Innovis, and Transunion. They will be able to access an opt-out (optoutpreescreen.com) mechanism to opt out of pre-approved credit card and insurance offers. Publishers Clearing House and Readers Digest will also allow you to opt out of their offers at pch.custhelp0.com/app/ask_mailing and rdstoreservice@rd.com. Consumers can stop Yellow Books by visiting Yellowpagesoptout.com. “Removing your personal information and then having to carry catalogs and items you never requested to the curb for recycling is a nuisance for many of our seniors,” Vicari said. “I want to inform all of our residents that they have options that can stop some of this junk mail.”

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.
