Tuckerton The Barnegat Lighthouse: 172ft & 160 Years Of History Hopes To Expand Preschool Program
By Kimberly Bosco BARNEGAT LIGHT – While it may not be the tallest or oldest landmark of its kind, the Barnegat Lighthouse has managed to stand the test of time as it celebrates its 160th anniversary this year. Located on the northernmost tip of Long Beach Island, the lighthouse was once regarded as the one of the most crucial “change of course” points for coastal vessels. “Vessels bound to and from New York along the New Jersey coastline depended on the Barnegat Lighthouse to avoid the shoals extending from the shoreline. The swift currents, shifting sandbars, and the offshore shoals challenged the skills of even the most experienced sailor,” according to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Nicknamed “Ole’ Barney,” it was also focal point of the Barnegat (Lighthouse - See Page 5)

By Kimberly Bosco TUCKERTON – Following the lead of Stafford and Barnegat school districts, Tuckerton Elementary has its sights set on joining the state-run free preschool program. The district Board of Education recently submitted its application to the state following discussions at the July 22 board meeting. Both Stafford and Barnegat school districts recently received funding through the Preschool Expansion Aid (PEA) program, which enables them to expand upon the preschool programs already in place and provide a free service to district students. According to the NJ Department of Education Division of Early Childhood Education, the PEA is Governor Phil Murphy’s way of prioritizing “an expansion of high quality preschool opportunities for many more children.” Tuckerton Elementary was under deadline to submit an application for funding by July 25. The state will notify school districts if they have received the funding on September 3. According to superintendent and Business Administrator Janet Gangemi, district officials are confident that Tuckerton Elementary will receive funding. “There are still a lot of pieces to put together,” said Gangemi, who noted that the district is setting two half days at the start of the new school year in order to facilitate the transition for students. Tuckerton Elementary already has one (Preschool - 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 commu-
nity in need. This law is known as “Code Blue.” As NJ 2-1-1 defines it: “W hen temperat u res d rop 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 unbear-
ably hot and humid? Does it war rant 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 Depar tment of Human Services, “there is legislation d ic t a t i ng wa r m i ng centers,” but not cooling centers. Maxwell (Heat - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 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.
Registration for free full-day preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds will be held on Monday, August 5, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., at Tuckerton Elementary. Parents should bring their child’s original birth certificate and two proofs of residency to register.

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.

Lighthouse:
Continued From Page 1 Light Borough, standing 172 feet above the shoreline where the Barnegat Bay and Atlantic Ocean converge. What we know now as Barnegat Light was happened upon in 1609 by the English explorer Henry Hudson, according to the Barnegat Light Tourism Coalition. Hudson stamped the land with the name “Barendegat,” meaning ‘Inlet of the Breakers.’ At this point in history, it would still be 250 years before Barendegat would receive its defining feature. The Friends of the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, a nonprofit organization that now runs the state park, set out a brief timeline of the lighthouse’s evolution since it was constructed in 1857: Designed and commissioned by General George Meade, the Barnegat Lighthouse was lit for the first time on January 1, 1859 with approximately 200 spectators in attendance. General Meade played a major role in the historic Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War in 1863, clashing with the Confederates led by General Robert E. Lee, according to the US National Park Service. Fast forward 30 years, the lighthouse received a new lightkeeper’s house for the lightkeeper, two assistants and their families in 1889. 1926: The land the lighthouse resides on is now under the ownership of the State of New Jersey. Plans are made to extinguish the light. 1927: The lens is removed from the lighthouse and a lighthouse ship is anchored eight
The Southern Ocean Times, August 3, 2019, Page 5 miles offshore to replace the lighthouse as a navigational aid. Between 1940 and 1944, the lighthouse is used as a lookout tower for enemy ships before it is decommissioned as a Coast Guard facility. “The Coast Guard, recreational boaters and sports fisherman also use the Inlet that sits in the shadow of the current Barnegat Lighthouse that served as a beacon to seafarers from 1857 until just after World War II,” according to the Barnegat Light Tourism Coalition. From 1944 to 2009, the Barnegat Lighthouse remained dark. Meanwhile, the state regained ownership of the lighthouse in 1946 and over a decade later, it is officially dubbed a state park in 1957. It isn’t until 2007, when the Friends of Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is chartered, that the park is reinvigorated. In 2008, the Friends hosted a 150th celebration gala in preparation for the re-lighting of the lighthouse. A whopping 8,000 people were in attendance. On January 1, 2009, the Barnegat Lighthouse was relit. Over the past century, the light became an essential facet of life on the northern end of the island, which was once known as Barnegat City. In 1904, Barnegat City seceded from Long Beach Township, becoming a borough in itself. It was later coined Barnegat Light in 1948, in homage to the structure, according to the borough. Now, it stands as a historical landmark visited by tourists and locals year round. As a state park, the area now features a lush
nature trail through the maritime forest, a Visitor Center, an outdoor picnic area and gazebo, which was constructed in 2016. The area is open to everyone, whether it is to provide a beautiful and epic background to a we d d i n g p h o t o shoot or simply a place of respite for locals. T he Bar negat Lighthouse sees thousands of visitors each year, especially during the summer months. Some like the view, and some like the adventure of climbing the 217 steps to the top. Since taking over in 2007 in order to promote and preserve the area, the –Photo by Kimberly Bosco Friends of the Bar- At the base of the Barnegat Lighthouse, visitors can enter and negat Lighthouse climb the 217 steps to the top.

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.

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

“Midnight Family” Film Screening By Jennifer Peacock SURF CITY – The documentary “Midnight Family” will play 8:30 p.m. Aug. 6 at the Surf City firehouse and EMS station, 713 Long Beach Blvd. The documentary is presented by The Lighthouse International Film Festival and the Surf City Volunteer Fire Company. Admission is free for all first responders and LIFF members. General admission is $5 per person. The documentary may not be suitable for young children. The film is in Spanish with subtitles. This special screening includes a gourmet hot dog bar and beer and wine for purchase, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. All proceeds will benefit the Surf City Volunteer Fire Company and the Lighthouse International Film Festival. “Midnight Family,” directed by Luke Lorentzen and co-produced with Kellen Quinn, won Special Jury Documentary Awards for Cinematography at 2019 Sundance Film
Festival. The documentary tells the story of the frenetic life of emergency service workers in Mexico City. “In the midst of high-speed ambulance rides, we meet the Ochoas, a family of private paramedics, who try desperately every day to be the first responders to critically injured patients,” Jill Voshell, Lighthouse International Film Festival Marketing Director, said. “In a city where there are less than 50 licensed municipal ambulances for a population of more than nine million, the family acts as a crucial, but unregistered, underground lifeline in an occupation riddled with police bribes and cutthroat competition. The family has a reputation for being dependable and trustworthy but becomes faced with a sudden escalation in the demanded bribes. This could force them into ethically questionable practices to keep their dire financial situation from compromising the patients in their care.” For more information, visit lighthousefilmfestival.org.

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 finger at overdevelopment and stormwater runoff as the cause of the increase in cases of contaminated water.
“Protecting our coasts and lakes includes making sure our water is safe to swim in. When it rains, it pours sewage and polluted runoff into our water. Last summer we saw dozens of shore beaches that were closed or under advisory because of high fecal bacteria. This impacts public health and also hurts tourism,” Tittel added. The Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program outlines the two paths that can be taken when there is an exceedance of the water quality standards. First is an advisory: “Any initial sample that exceeds the water quality standard requires that the local health agency issue a swimming advisory at the bathing beach where the sample was collected. Swimming Advisories warn the public of potentially unhealthy water conditions. Additional sampling is conducted until water quality results are again within the standard.” Then, there are closures: “Beaches are closed if two consecutive samples collected at a bathing beach exceed the water quality standard. Beach closings remain in effect until subsequent sampling indicates bacteria levels are again below the standard.” For information on beach advisories, closures, rip currents, and more, visit njbeaches. org/.

Childhood Hearing Loss…And Bullying? 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 diff iculties can lead to missed jokes, conversation gaps, or other challenges affecting peer relationships, researchers speculated in the news release. Added investigator Andrea War ner-Czyz, Ph.D. “Friendships are important to most young people, but I believe they are especially important to children with hearing loss. Anything parents can do to facilitate social interaction and friendship and letting them learn how to be a friend and who is a friend is critical.” Hearing loss among youth goes largely unaddressed. Is a hearing test on your checklist? Call us to schedule complimentary hearing screenings for the whole family today!
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.

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.

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’,

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.

Associated Humane Societies Offers Fire Safety Tips For Pets
OCEAN COUNTY - It is estimated that about 500,000 pets are affected by house fires each year. Statistics show that about 20 percent of all house fires start between 4 and 8 a.m., when residents are sleeping. “To lose a family pet under any circumstances is devastating. To lose a pet in a fire is beyond words,” said Roseann Trezza, executive director, Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park. “Firefighters will attempt to save family pets, but they need to have an idea of where they are in the house and if there are pets at all.” Associated Humane Societies offers pet owners special decals that, when prominently placed in front and back doors or windows, will alert fire or rescue personnel of the type and number of animals inside the home or apartment in case of emergency. A decal is especially important where
there are several dwellings, like condominiums, apartments or townhouses so firefighters know which living quarters contain pets. The four inch square decals are designed in standard fire department colors of red and yellow, with black type. These will affix to almost any surface, and have space available to write information in permanent marker or ballpoint pen. Cost is $2 for two decals and can be purchased by mailing cash or check with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Pet Decals, c/o Society, 124 Evergreen Ave., Newark, NJ 07114. And to help pet owners safeguard their pets and homes from fire and the damage it can cause, Associated Humane Societies offers the following tips: Be sure house numbers are clearly visible. In apartments, many animals have perished because fi refighters did not know which
houses or apartments had pets. Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. It’s the single most important way to alert you and your loved ones of a hazardous condition. Place them on each level of your house. If you cannot afford one, contact your local fire department who will sometimes donate the devices. Keep burning candles out of the reach of pets and children and never leave burning candles unattended. A knocked over candle can ignite an entire house in a matter of moments. Consider opting for the many beautiful flameless candles now available. Check for loose wires and watch out for wire-chewers. Some curious cats, dogs and even rabbits will chew on electrical wires. Protect the wires or make them inaccessible. Make other electric appliances are turned
off and unplugged before leaving the house. Keep the clothes dryer lint-free and take extra precautions when drying foam-backed rugs, athletic shoes and other non-cloth items. If you leave the house without your pets, keep them in areas or rooms that are near entrances where firefighters will find them. Keep collars and leashes where you can easily grab them if you need to evacuate your home. Make sure your dog or cat is wearing proper identification or is microchipped. In case he or she runs out the door, your chances are much better of having your pet safely returned to you. Microchipping is safe, painless and a great way to identify missing pets. However, the information on the chip is only obtainable and useful if you remember to register with the microchip agency.

Medicinal Marijuana Program Triples Patient Count Since Start Of Murphy Administration
NEW JERSEY – Since Governor Phil Murphy took office, New Jersey’s Medicinal Marijuana Program has tripled the number of patients and nearly doubled the number of participating physicians—two milestones attributable to the Administration’s commitment to a patient-centered, modernized program. A total of 51,000 patients, 2,000 caregivers and 1,000 doctors are now participating in the program. “I am extremely proud of the reforms that we have made over the last 18 months to make our medicinal marijuana program compassionate, progressive, and modernized,” said Governor Murphy. “Today, three times as many New Jersey residents have access to this life-changing medical treatment than when I took office, and we will continue our work to break down barriers to ensure that this treatment is affordable and accessible for those who need it most.” The top five medical conditions among patients who have qualified for the program are: Chronic pain due to musculoskeletal disorders (28.9%), anxiety (23.8%), intractable skeletal spasticity (15.3%), PTSD (7.9%) and severe or chronic pain due to cancer or HIV (5.6%). Program reforms have also included the addition of opioid use disorder as a condition for which patients can get treatment for their addiction — in concert with Medication Assisted Treatment. “More patients are qualifying because of the tremendous reforms made under Governor Murphy’s leadership, and we are working to expand the program even more as Jake’s Law is implemented,” said Marcela Ospina Maziarz, interim Acting Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Health. “Every day we strive to make this a more responsive, patient-centered program – and the dramatic increase in enrollment is a testament to those efforts.” Earlier this month, Gov. Murphy signed the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act to dramatically reform the program and expand patient access. Three critical pieces are already in effect: physicians can now authorize patients for
up to three ounces of medical cannabis per month; patients can be authorized for medical cannabis for up to 12 months based on a physician’s clinical judgment; and there are no longer purchase limits for terminal patients. Prior to the law change, physicians were required to see patients every 90 days, and patients were limited to a maximum of two ounces per month, which placed an overly burdensome restriction on patients. The Department of Health is currently seeking new applicants to operate up to 24 additional Alternative Treatment Centers (ATCs): Up to eight in the northern region of the state, up to eight in the central region, up to seven in the southern region and one “at-large” to be determined during the award process. Three types of permits/endorsements will be available for ATCs: cultivation, dispensing and vertically integrated permits. In total, the Department will seek up to five cultivation endorsements, up to 15 dispensary endorsements and up to four vertically integrated permits. Vertically integrated permits include one cultivation endorsement, one manufacturing endorsement and one dispensary endorsement. Applicants for vertically integrated permits, because they constitute three endorsements, may only submit one application total. Applicants may seek up to three endorsements total and may only submit one application per region. Application forms are available here. Applications are due Aug. 21 (Dispensary) and Aug. 22 (Cultivation and Vertically Integrated). In December, six businesses were selected to apply for permits to open new medical marijuana dispensaries, which will bring the total number of ATCs to 12. Two applicants were chosen for the north, central and southern parts of the state. Before receiving approval to grow medical marijuana, the chosen applicants now must pass background checks, provide evidence of a dispensary location and municipal approval, and comply with all regulations under the Division of Medical Marijuana, including safety and security requirements.

Ocean County Mall Launches New Family-Friendly Program
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – In an effort to help local families create meaningful connections and lasting memories, Simon is launching its new Family at Simon program at the Ocean County Mall. Simon, a global leader in premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, plans to use Family at Simon to bring families together with a host of entertainment, dining, shopping, and event options. “Family at Simon is a way for families to connect in the heart of their communities,” said Erin Barbato, Director of Marketing. “Ocean County Mall recognizes the importance of family time in an increasingly busy world, and we wanted to make it easier to plan a trip to our center in advance by making information about amenities, experiences, eateries, stores, and events
available in one place online.” Family at Simon is a free program. Members can join to view special discounts and offers at their local Simon mall. Also, don’t forget to save the date for some of Ocean County Mall’s upcoming events! On August 25, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Ocean County Mall will partner with Toms River Macaroni Kid to host the 2nd Annual Back to School Bash in the mall’s Center Court. The Back to School Bash will focus on helping families get ready for the back-toschool season with a fashion show, a school supply drive, swag bags to the first 100 families, and local resource organizations and vendors all focused on kids and/or families. On October 24, 4-7 p.m., Ocean County Mall will host the annual Mall-O-Ween Events. On December 6, 6-8 p.m., the annual Santa’s Arrival Event will take place.

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.”

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,”

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.
