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

Continued From Page 1 Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. At the back of the units there’s a place that can be rented out for special events and the Clubhouse uses fo r c o n c e r t s . T h e C l u b h o u s e i s a nonprof it place created to support the ar ts. There’s a distinct punk f lavor, descended from the Asbury Park Punk Rock Flea Market. That f its the style of what they are tr ying to do, since pu n k is about a do -it-you rself aesthetic. That’s ref lected in the music, clothing, and decoration on sale there. Creative people drop off their wares and the Clubhouse sells them, splitting the prof it. If the Shops at 53 are for people who want a small location, the Clubhouse is for people who just want some shelf space. Director Timmy Mura said the goal of the Clubhouse is to support the local art and music scene. It’s neighbor is the Toms River Artist Community. It has a free galler y in the Shops at 53. Among other activities, they will be hosting the Sum mer A r ts Fest (formerly Art in the Park). This will be held Aug. 17 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 28- 46 Hadley Avenue across from the Ocean County Historical Society. The rain date is Aug. 18. But as much as there’s an attempt to bring change, there are certain things
that don’t need changing. If it’s not broke, why f ix it? The farmer’s market, for example, has continued every Wednesday at the parking garage. This has been going strong, Zorojew said. T he t rolley has ret u r ned for t h is summer, which adds a nice ambiance, he said. This was a new amenity last year. It’s got sponsors with ads on the side, and allows people to get around downtown easier. Hundreds of people used it last year. A calendar of information and events can be found at downtowntomsriver. com/downtownshops/00home.php Budget The Township Council recently heard the budget for Downtown Toms River, which has three full time and two part time employees. The largest source of income for it is a special assessment on downtown businesses. The “downtow n” area, at least for the purposes of the business improvement district, is marked by the following boundaries: the south side of Rt.37 to the north, the river to the south, the Garden St ate Park way to the west, and Hooper Avenue and then Hadley Avenue to the east. The 2019 budget for the Downtown Tom s R ive r bu si ne ss i mprove me nt district is $462,825, an increase from last year’s $395,937.

Continued From Page 1 Another was a repost of a Fox News post about Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan. Leonard commented “My life would be complete if she/ they die.” A third was a repost of a meme showing a Barbie doll with a bruise and a hijab, referring to it as “Sharia Barbie.” These posts were flagged by many as hateful and inappropriate, many public officials and organizations calling for Leonard to resign. In response, Leonard stated that he believes some to be expressing “selective reactions,” meaning that they are choosing to be angry at his comments as opposed to the comments of other politicians. While admitting that the posts were “the wrong move,” Leonard called it “Politics 101.” Leonard has since vowed to be more careful with what he posts to his personal Facebook page. Should Leonard Resign? On Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver’s official Facebook page, she wrote the following: “We are disheartened by the racist comments made by a school board member in Toms River. His hateful language is counter to the best interests of our students and does not represent our values. Governor Phil Murphy and I urge him to resign. The New Jersey Department of Education is also looking into this matter.” At the most recent Board of Education
meeting, members of the public asked for him to resign. After the meeting, he met with Muslim members of the community and then issued a statement on his Facebook: “Although I will not apologize or resign over the mischaracterization of my ‘out of context posts’ - we did agree to disagree and I did reassure them that I understand the position that some of them felt the need to take. Sadly, my personal posts have obviously impacted the district and I will be more cautious going forward as we continue our fight against the loss in state aid - right or wrong, not everything is about me and my colleagues and I have worked way too hard to let this ruin our path to progress!” Leonard’s reasoning for remaining on the board until his term expires, rather than resigning, is to avoid “compromising” what he and other board members have been working hard to achieve “given the progress we’ve made over the last 2-3 years,” he said. He is referring to a state change in aid that will short the district millions of dollars a year. Many community members have been urging solidarity in combatting Trenton on these cuts. Leonard continued: “This goes for everyone - Just because you have the right to say something does not necessarily mean that you should. There is a difference between being right and being effective! I stand against Sharia Law and I stand against those who would attempt to take away one’s freedom of speech through fear and intimidation! I will never back down, but I vow to be more articulate in my approach (Board - See Page 5)

Board:
Continued From Page 4 so that the message I am trying to convey as a private citizen is clear and precise and in no way reflects the position of the Board.” He also stated that he is against Sharia Law, not Muslims. The comments regarding Congresswoman Tlaib were about her calling for a hunger strike to shut down Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This came from a Fox News clip that was cut short, in which she did not actually urge hunger strikes; she only mentioned that other people were doing it. Leonard’s point was that if she wants to starve herself, then fine. But he did not call for violence against her. After an initial news report about the issue was made public, Leonard addressed the issues on Facebook, stating that he served in the Middle East doing his part protecting Muslims from radicalized Islamic fundamentalists. Leonard retired from the Army National Guard as a Master Sergeant after 23 years. The president of the Board of Education denounced the social media posts and also asked for Leonard to step down. “As Board President, it is my responsibility to consider, first and foremost, the well-being of the children of this District. The recent events with regard to the personal social media postings of Board Member Leonard are distracting the Board from its mission and purpose. We must lead by example and set an example to our students and community that reflect our goals, ideals
The Toms River Times, August 3, 2019, Page 5 and vision for the future of this District. Due to these and other concerns, I have rescinded Mr. Leonard’s appointment to the Safety, Security, and Transportation Committee, effective immediately,” Board President Joseph Nardini said. “Additionally, I am asking Mr. Leonard, for the sake of the students in this District, to consider the far-reaching effect of the events of the past few days and the effect upon the District and the students, and to consider tendering his resignation from his position as Board Member. We, as the Board, cannot act to remove a sitting Board Member based upon the allegations related to Mr. Leonard’s Facebook postings. However, Mr. Leonard is in a position to remove this distraction from the Board’s mission, and we implore him to consider the impact his continued service on the Board has had, and continues to have, upon the student body of the Toms River Regional School District. “It is with a heavy heart that I make this statement. I greatly appreciate Mr. Leonard’s service to our country. I have had respect for his dedication to the work of the Board and his tireless service to this community. I also have a great respect for the right of free speech and Mr. Leonard’s individual right to express his personal opinion. However, when such personal opinions impinge upon the ability of this Board to act on the many pressing issues facing this District, and indeed become an obstruction to the Board’s message and duties, those opinions do not remain personal to Mr. Leonard but are opinions and statements which the Board must disavow as
not reflective of the Board or this District,” Nardini said in his comments. Superintendent David Healy released a statement regarding the issue: “It is important for me to express that neither I nor this school district support or condone the content and spirit of these messages and the opinions they reflect. It is equally important for me to remind our community what our school district stands for. One need look no further than our mission and vision to understand that we value the respect and dignity of every single person we serve and employ; that we work tirelessly to ensure the safety of our students and staff - not only their physical safety, but their social and emotional well-being within a welcoming and nurturing environment; and that we embrace the diversity of our student body and firmly believe that such diversity is a critical mechanism for teaching and learning the enduring virtues of respect, tolerance, and love for one another. It is my sworn duty and distinct honor to uphold that mission and vision. Rest assured that, despite the recent attention given to these unfortunate messages, I will continue to ensure that Toms River Regional Schools embodies strong character, integrity, and the best that public education has to offer.” The Toms River Board of Education is represented by attorney Stephan Leone. An attorney in his practice, Melanie Appleby, said that the board’s position is that Leonard’s statements on social media are his own, and do not represent the board. Further, the attorney will advise the board to discuss the matter in executive session,

she said. This is the portion of public meetings where the officials speak in private. The board should conduct an investigation whether these statements violate the code of ethics, or statutes relating to bullying or discrimination, she said. This might not be the only complaint that is being investigated. Last year’s election was particularly contentious. One candidate, Christopher Raimann, accused Leonard of bullying and harassment. Raimann filed a complaint with the School Ethics Committee which is still pending. Leonard wasn’t running that year; he’s actually up for re-election this year. The New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NJ) was the first to call for him to step down in this recent issue. “The bigoted, hateful and threatening social media posts shared by this elected board of education official serve to disqualify him for any position that has responsibility for the safety, security and well-being of New Jersey’s diverse student body,” said CAIRNJ Executive Director James Sues. “The bigoted views expressed by Mr. Leonard have no place in an educational system that seeks to celebrate diversity and encourage students of all faiths and backgrounds to excel scholastically and to make positive contributions to our society. This is just a painful reminder of the extreme divisiveness that characterizes the current political climate at the national level.” The CAIR press release that called for Leonard to step down defined themselves (Board - See Page 11)

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/.

Auto Museum And Men’s Club Restore Studebaker
WHITING – The Ocean County Automobile Museum was presented a 1909 Studebaker and is starting to restore this antique car. Museum members are hoping to have it restored enough to showcase this car in the Toms River Halloween parade. To accomplish this, they are looking for volunteers from the community who are willing to volunteer some time to help in this project. Those restoring the car meet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. in their Whiting warehouse. They are looking for people who can help stripping the old paint off, doing upholstery work, engine work etc. Those interested in helping need to join the museum for $25 per year. “These types of projects help them keep the history of our automobiles alive,” Holiday City South Men’s Club President Bill Holencsak said. For more information, call Holencsak at 732-570-7213.

Continued From Page 5 as a Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization that has a goal to enhance understanding of Islam, protect civil rights, promote justice, and empower American Muslims. It also mentioned that they offer a series of guides to explai n Muslim practices to public servants. It noted that they have seen “an unprecedented spike in bigotry targeting American Muslims, immigrants and members of other minority groups since the election of Donald Trump as president.” Another civil rights group, Muslim Advocates, also called for him to step down. “No individual who is responsible for gover ning the education of children should ever engage in hate speech, bigoted conspiracy theories and violent, anti-Muslim rhetoric on social media. The harmful, ugly content that Daniel Patrick Leonard regularly posts to Facebook exposes him as someone wholly unfit to work with the diverse school children in Toms River and the state of New Jersey. Leonard’s views are completely inconsistent with the New Jersey School Boards Association’s mission to promote the achievement of ‘all students.’ He should resign or be removed from both offices. We’re asking New Jersey families of all backgrounds to urge the school boards association to remove him from his leadership position,” wrote Madihha Ahussain, the special counsel for Muslim Advocates. She illustrated that Facebook posts have deeper impact than people think. “Hateful, dehumanizing posts on social media like the kind shared by Mr. Leonard have serious consequences,” she said. “Rep. Ilhan Omar has already received death threats because people ignorantly and maliciously called her a
The Toms River Times, August 3, 2019, Page 11 terrorist and associated her with the 9/11 terror attacks - just as Mr. Leonard did in multiple Facebook posts. He also puts Rep. Rashida Tlaib in danger by effectively wishing that she would die. We have reported these posts to Facebook and await their determination if they are in violation of their content policies.” In a statement issued on social media, 9 th District Assembly hopeful Wayne Lewis said, “Toms River school board member Daniel Leonard had already publicly embarrassed Toms River when the public learned of his road rage incident that led to a car accident. Now, he has disgraced the very families he was elected to serve. He must resign from his position immediately. No one who makes light of bigotry, domestic violence, and the death of sitting congresswomen belongs in the professional world, let alone in a position of authority.” This is in relation to an incident in which he was charged with reckless driving and failing to maintain a lane on July 6. Leonard has since disputed these charges, and has hired an attorney to represent him. The police version of the incident is that Leonard was in his truck pursuing a driver in an Audi at a high rate of speed. He lost control of his vehicle, and wound up totaling it against a tree in an embankment off the intersection of Hooper Avenue and Bay Avenue. The officer writing the report stated that Leonard was at fault due to his conflicting statements, his demeanor when speaking with police, and that the distance his truck travelled into the embankment was indicative of a high rate of speed. Leonard’s version is that he was cut off by the Audi, whose driver kept hitting the brakes in front of him, and he was uncooperative because he had just been in a crash where his truck was totaled. -Kimberly Bosco contributed to this story

Health Dept. Reminds Residents To Vaccinate Their Pets
OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) wants to remind residents that vaccinating their precious furry friends can save their pets lives from many deadly diseases such as canine distemper and rabies. “We have recently seen an increase in canine distemper cases in raccoons here in Ocean County so now is a good time to urge all cat and dog owners to vaccinate their pets with age appropriate vaccines as recommended by their veterinarian,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Pet vaccines exist to prevent your pet from falling ill. They provide immunity from a range of infectious diseases that can affect both humans and animals. Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator reminds us, “Living in Ocean County, many of us share our surroundings with wildlife. Sometimes animals such as raccoons, skunks and opossum may have an unexpected encounter with a family pet so it’s best to be protected from any of the diseases those animals may potentially be carrying. And you can never forget that rabies can be passed
on from animals to humans so keeping vaccinations up-to-date is crucial in maintaining not only your pet’s health, but your own.” Tips to keep your pets safe from wildlife: • Keep your dogs on a leash while on walks or at the park • Keep your cats indoors • Do not catch or remove wildlife form their homes • Don’t feed wildlife on your property and don’t feed your pets outside • Keep garbage can lids secure • Enjoy wildlife from a distance Regenye added, “Pet owners should schedule annual wellness appointments with their veterinarian to discuss their health and vaccination schedule. However, if you suspect your cat or dog had contact with a sick animal you should call your veterinarian right away.” If you have any questions regarding vaccinations please call the Ocean County Animal Facilities at 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127 or your veterinarian. You can also visit the Health Department’s website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

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 includ-
ing 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”.

—Photo courtesy TRRS TOMS RIVER – Around this time last year, August 2018 to be specific, Intermediate South became one of only 21 New Jersey schools in the region to be awarded the Whole School, Whole Child, Whole Community (WSCC) Health Project, a grant-funded initiative from the New Jersey Department of Health in partnership with regional funder EmPoWER Somerset. Led by counselor Betty Velez-Gimbel, the project has not only been successful; it’s slowly starting to become an identifiable facet of the school. “I attribute the success this past year to the unique structure of our team,” said Velez-Gimbel during a grantees summit at EmPoWER Somerset headquarters back in May. That team was strategically designed to include a wide range of IS personnel, ensuring that the whole child approach to health and wellness would become part of the school’s culture. Principal Paul Gluck, teachers of all areas of curriculum, and community members comprise the 26-member project team. But even those not officially on the team have contributed. As Velez-Gimbel points out, “Our entire staff is vested and many have volunteered their time to make this a success.” In its pilot year, the team worked to foster an environment that acknowledged and supported the benefits of physical and emotional health. The school established a nutritional corner; purchased and displayed nutritional information and motivational quotes throughout the school (see gallery below); advanced its Fitness Club; celebrated National Dine-In Week; and engaged staff and students in the process, such as through the creation of a massive Positive Energy Mural. “Our approach with WSCC, in line with its model, is to explore and celebrate health and wellness in all its forms, from nutritional and physical health, to self-esteem, kindness, character education, collaboration, and inclusion,” said Velez-Gimbel. “With the support of Principal Gluck, our entire staff, and our community partners, we have done a great job doing just that.” As the school enters the second year of the planned four-year program, it has grand plans. Among them:
• Implementation of an after-school fitness program that includes a certified Generation/Pound Pro instructor Lisa Pepper (below), yoga, and collaboration with local gyms • Improvements to the school’s fitness room for students and staff including exercise posters, yoga mats, floor mats for machines, and more • Campaign to reduce the amount of fruit wasted during lunch school-wide collaboration on a shared healthy recipes document • Hosting motivational, health-based speakers, including a presentation by Joetta Clark Diggs scheduled for Oct. 22 • Annual Seminole staff day to foster positive relationships and fun at Beachwood Community Center, which has already been approved by Beachwood Mayor Ronald Roma in partnership with WSCC as part of the Mayor’s Wellness Campaign The NJDOH introduced WSCC with the hope of transforming the New Jersey public school landscape by directing resources to build and sustain healthy schools for all students. The WSCC model is based on the following principles: healthy children learn better; health and academic achievement are inextricably intertwined; schools are an ideal venue for chronic disease prevention; administrative and Board of Education support is critical for creating a culture of health in schools; and a commitment to systems change is required to sustain healthy schools. “It’s been a pleasure to be a part of the Whole School, Whole Child, Whole Community program and to witness its impact here at Intermediate South,” said Principal Paul Gluck. “School climate, culture, and health are all interrelated, and every day through WSCC our team is working to foster a healthy, fun, and inclusive environment for our students, our families, and each other. It’s clearly having a positive effect.” Intermediate South will be seeking parents and community volunteers to help support its endeavors related to WSCC, and anyone interested in being a part of this initiative can contact Betty Velez-Gimbel at bvelezgimbel@trschools.com.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Cooling:
Continued From Page 1 drop below freezing, and conditions pose a threat to individuals who are homeless or medically fragile, a network of agencies throughout New Jersey helps people obtain shelter, food, and clothing.” But what about when the weather is unbearably hot and humid? Does it warrant the same kind of response? While it is not a law, a few local municipalities have taken it upon themselves to set up cooling stations to ease members of the community out of the excessive summer heat. These cooling stations are similar to warming centers, but the difference lies in the specifics. According to Tracy Maxwell of the Ocean County 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 c o.o c e a n .nj.u s/O C/O CDHS /f r m HomeOCDHS.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.

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’,

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology.
After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office, often during your initial visit! “We’re very conservative,” Dr. Amoss assures future patients. “I’m surgically trained but I only like to perform surgery when all other conservative means
One of Advanced Foot & Ankle locations is 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms River (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute)
have been exhausted. It’s going to be painless.” He makes that possible by developing treatment plans for each specific patient. Rest assured, Advanced Foot & Ankle is fully equipped to do so as soon as you come in. Both offi ces have digital X-rays so they can almost instantly see what’s going on and review it with the patient. They also have a diagnostic ultrasound to diagnose soft tissue conditions, as well as a laser for treatment of pain and neuropathy, a painful nerve condition caused by diabetes and other issues. They even offer MicroVas therapy, which gives much needed relief to patients with high levels of diabetic neuropathy, as well as vascular or PAD testing. In addition to the most cutting edge podiatric technology, Advanced Foot & Ankle has professional-grade consumer products you need for immediate relief. They offer a great selection of diabetic shoes, for example, One of Advanced Foot & Ankle locations is 601 Route 37 West, as well as custom - made 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping orthotics which provide arch Center) support and help correct the
imbalance in patients’ feet. Advanced Foot & Ankle accepts most insurance plans. (Medicare covers one pair of diabetic shoes per year!) By having strategically-located offices, an experienced and focused staff, and tons of treatment methods and equipment at his disposal, Dr. Amoss is able to easily achieve his goal of getting you fast comfort and relief. When it comes to diseases like melanoma, for example, speed is absolutely critical. The most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma has an especially poor prognosis on the foot because it often goes unnoticed for a long time. Dr. Amoss diagnosed several of these cases last year, which probably saved those patients’ lives. But sometimes conditions aren’t as complicated as much as some of the larger podiatrist offices try to let on. Dr. Amoss remembers one recent patient who came in after being with one such practice. “These eight doctors had exhausted all treatment options for this individual in pain,” he said. After years of getting the runaround, they told him there was noth-
ing they could do. The patient came limping into Advanced Foot & Ankle with what Dr. Amoss diagnosed in a matter of minutes as a simple corn on the tip of his toe. “We gave him a customized foot pad which helped him tremendously, and by the next day he came in to thank us and tell us how much better he was doing,” Dr. Amoss said. “He couldn’t believe he waited and wasted several years with this other group of doctors.” At Advanced Foot & Ankle, you’ll get fast and customized treatment from a doctor you can trust. Give them a call today at 732-350-0100 and their very accommodating staff will be able to make an appointment for you with Dr. Amoss right away. And as the “urgent care of the lower extremity,” emergency app oint ment s are also available. Advanced Foot & Ankle is located at 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping Center) and 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms River (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute).

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.
