By Bob Vosseller STAFFORD – A man well known for his generosity and outgoing nature is now in need of community support himself. Stafford resident Okan “Ozzie” Zenger suffered a terrible accident on October 30 when heavy equipment fell on him and broke his back. The accident paralyzed Zenger from the waist down. He owns and operates C&K Floor Covering, LLC and Zenger Flooring Supply, Inc. Following the accident, he was rushed to Jersey Shore Medical Center and underwent extensive spine surgery. The surgery included the placement of screws to hold his spine in place.

By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – Hunger knows no season, but often the month of November is a time to focus on the hungry, given the holiday of Thanksgiving and its abundant feast. The Community Foodbank of New Jersey (CFBNJ) is holding several large-scale turkey distributions this month to help local soup kitchens and food pantries provide com munit y members throughout
the state with Thanksgiving meals, said Megan Annecchiarico, an Account Coordinator for BML Public Relations whose client is the food bank. “Close to 900,000 people in New Jersey do not know if they have enough food to feed themselves and their families each day. CFBNJ, New Jersey’s largest anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization, partners annually (Hunger - See Page 4)

Hunger:
Continued From Page 1 with more than 1,000 organizations in New Jersey Communities to help share the joy of the holiday season with those who might otherwise go without a Thanksgiving meal,” Annecchiarico said. CFBNJ is expected to distribute more than 25,000 turkeys and roasters at 10 locations throughout New Jersey. Organizations that have placed holiday orders with the FoodBank will visit the designated pick-up sites closest to them to get roasters and frozen turkeys, which they will each distribute on their own schedules. The FoodBank works with more than 1,000 of these partners year-round, providing the food that enables them to serve neighbors in need in their communities. “Our community partners are the boots on the ground that help us feed struggling families and make a local impact on hunger,” said Carlos Rodriguez, President and CEO of the FoodBank. “During the holidays, they allow us to share the joy of the season with those who might otherwise go without a Thanksgiving meal.” As to how big of an issue hunger is in New Jersey and at the Jersey shore in particular, “studies show one in 10 people are “food insecure” in New Jersey meaning they do not know where their next meal will come from,” Fulfi ll CEO and President Kim Guadagno said. Fulfill was formerly known as the Food Bank of Ocean and Monmouth counties. Guadagno added, “of that number, one
in seven are children. In Monmouth and Ocean Counties, for example, that means 136,000 people go to bed hungry and 50,000 of them are children.” “We always see an increase in donations about this time of year, thankfully. But it is never enough to fi ll the need. Our Students Change Hunger campaign and our Fill-A-Truck campaign are just two of the hundreds of ways people can help through their schools or at their grocery stores. They can donate directly on line at Fulfillnj.org,” Guadagno said. “Fulfill is one of the 10 best charities in New Jersey according to Charity Navigator, and we are proud to be named one of the best for 10 years in a row. Every dollar means three meals for our neighbors. At Fulfill, $.96 of every dollar goes directly to food. So, we appreciate both funds and food,” Guadagno said. Fulfill has a Thanksgiving wish list which includes the most needed items of the year. Donations of manual can openers would be appreciated and non-perishables of low sodium cans of green beans, corn, mixed vegetables, yams, cranberry sauce, boxed potatoes, boxed stuffi ng, gravy, canned soup and broth, pie crust and cornbread mixes. Donations of perishables sought include frozen turkeys, turkey and chicken breasts. Members of the Lacey Food Bank have been keeping busy with a variety of food gathering projects. Local Cub Scouts from Pack 35 were assisting them on Nov. 9 to pick up non-perishable food donations that went directly to the Lacey Food Bank.
“This is one of our key collections as we approach Thanksgiving and the cold winter season,” Laura Caroccia, the food bank’s director said. The Lacey Food Bank also received assistance and support from the Rotary Club of Forked River who held their annual food drive on Nov. 23 at the parking lot of the Walmart store on Route 9 in Lanoka Harbor. “My personal commitment to the Lacey Food Bank is working toward eliminating the food insecurity that our own Lacey families and especially the children face day in and day out. To do that, we must not only provide healthy, nutritious family and child-friendly foods and snacks but also work together as a community to provide the means and support to break the cycle of hunger, vis-à-vis education and partnerships,” Caroccia said. Caroccia said, “as the temperatures cool, many fi nd themselves having to choose between paying a heating bill or buying groceries. Food drives such as Scouting for Food and the Rotary Thanksgiving Drive come at a time when the demand for food increases and we are so thankful for their donations.” “Going into the winter, the need for warm and filling foods are our top priority and we are lucky to have so many community, business and school groups that will add to our pantry. To put our needs in perspective, with more 240 families - that’s more than 600 people - currently on our client list we need nearly 500 cans of soup a month to give each family just two cans of soup
in their monthly food bag,” Caroccia said. “We have added extra storekeeper hours by opening on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon not only to accept donations but also to be available for emergency food needs,” Caroccia said. While state, county and municipal organizations take on large scale hunger needs, a family in Howell is doing what they can for the second year in a row to help feed the hungry through Thanksgiving food baskets. The goal of Grayson, Reagan, Mindy and Ryan Musillo is to amass enough donated food items to make baskets for local families in need. Mindy Musillo said, “we started our collection last year after being inspired by a fellow teacher of mine from Manalapan, Jamie Bruno. I wanted to try and help make this possible for other people who may need a little extra support. It was also very important to me to have my children aware of how fortunate our family is and the importance of helping others. “Last year with the help of friends, neighbors and community members we were able to create and deliver 25 baskets. This year we have over 40 families,” Mindy Musillo said. Musillo added, “the support from people around us - both those we know and others who have helped from the Howell community - has been amazing. The people receiving the baskets have been beyond grateful and thankful that they will be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner with their family and friends.”

The Southern Ocean Times, November 30, 2019, Page 5 Sweeney and Scutari characterized the marijuana issue as a debate of social justice and conscience. Gov. Phil Murphy, who had legalization as a campaign promise, agreed. “My belief that our current marijuana laws have failed every test of social justice and that the right course is to legalize its use by adults has not changed,” he said. “I am disappointed that we are not able to get this done legislatively and that our failed status quo - which sends roughly 600 people to jail a week for possession, the majority of them people of color - will continue. However, I have faith that the people of New Jersey will put us on the right side of history when they vote next November.” Although Colorado is usually the state most people look at when seeing what impacts legalization has, it is not the only state where it’s legal. According to Business Insider, the following states also have adult recreational marijuana: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Illinois, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine and Alaska.
Pot:
Continued From Page 1 that, if passed, would put a referendum on the 2020 ballot to legalize adult use of marijuana in New Jersey. “This initiative will bring cannabis out of the underground so that it can be controlled to ensure a safe product, strictly regulated to limit use to adults and have sales subjected to the sales tax,” the statement read. “We will have the Legislature vote on the plan during the current legislative session and expect the proposal to be on the ballot in 2020, when voter turnout will be maximized for the national election. We are confident it will be approved by the Senate, the Assembly and the voters.” As of right now, the text on the ballot would read “Do you approve amending the Constitution to legalize a controlled form of marijuana called ‘cannabis?’ Only adults at least 21 years of age could use cannabis. The State commission created to oversee the State’s medical cannabis program would also oversee the new, personal use cannabis market. Retail sales of cannabis products in this new market would be subject to the State’s sales tax, and no other form of tax.”
STAFFORD – All Aboard for the Polar Express! This holiday classic will be shown at 10:30 a.m. on December 14 at the library located at 129 N. Main St.
Criticism Earlier, state lawmakers tried to get legalization passed, but it was unpopular.
minor offenses have a more productive future, Sen. Robert Singer (R-30th) told a group at an affordable housing assembly in Lakewood earlier this year. “Too many young lives have been ruined for having a small amount of marijuana.” Even if the legislature is torn on recreational marijuana, they should still move forward with the expungement of people’s record, he had said. “Expungement is a separate bill that we still intend to do,” a spokesman for the state Democrats said.
A vote was planned for a package of bills that would legalize adult use marijuana, expunge records of people charged with possession of up to 5 pounds, and expand medicinal marijuana use. However, when Democrat leaders were trying to find out how much support there was, they came up short on definite “yes” votes. Sweeney said during a press conference back then that they decided not to put it up to vote because it would be defeated. So instead they pushed “pause” on it, so they could work to get more support. He also noted during that press conference that if it was on the ballot in November of 2019, it wouldn’t do well because it was not a presidential election and not as many people would vote. However, some people feel that by tying the more popular expungement bill to the less popular recreational vote, it doomed the expungement bill. When Murphy Tweeted his support of a 2020 referendum, a slew of Twitter users said he could push for expungement now if he was really concerned with social justice. Instead, 600 arrests a week will continue to happen for another year. Expungement would help people who have
Sold Locally? Even if the “reefer-endum” passes, it would likely face opposition in some towns. Municipalities can control where certain businesses operate. For example, they can zone certain areas for industrial use, away from residences. Several governing bodies of local towns, like Berkeley, have already made it illegal to sell recreational marijuana within town limits. A move like this was tabled in Toms River because, officials said, any statewide law would supersede local. Therefore, they were waiting to see what form it took on the state level so they could respond.

–Photo Provided by The Lacey Food Bank Bottles of ketchup were donated to the Lacey Food Bank by customers of the Lacey Perkins restaurant recently. By Bob Vosseller LACEY – The Lacey Food Bank reported that it recently closed out its “Heinz Ketchup Kaper.” Laura Caroccia, the coordinator for the Lacey Food Bank said, “the real winners in this are the clients and families of the Lacey Food Bank.” “Thanks to all of you, the Lacey Food Bank now has over 250 bottles of ketchup to distribute to our client families. As many of our volunteers and donors know, condiments are not high up on the list of food necessities but we also know that the addition of spices and flavorings and condiments go far in making some
of the less palatable foods tasty and appealing - especially to the children,” Caroccia said. Free bottles of ketchup were provided by Heinz ketchup to Lacey Perkins customers who in turn donated them to the Lacey Food Bank in recent months. “With this donation we certainly hit the mother-load. Our thanks goes out to Heinz Ketchup for providing the opportunity (and the ketchup) and to Maria DiLeo (owner/manager) at the Lacey Perkins for being such a good friend to the Lacey Food Bank,” Caroccia said. Caroccia also thanked the anonymous ketchup thief who unknowingly started this circle of giving last summer.

Artist Linda Ramsay Displays Her Work At Barnegat Library
BARNEGAT – The Barnegat branch of the Ocean County Library will exhibit the art of Linda Ramsay throughout the month of December. Ramsay’s medium is oil, on canvas or board. She is an instructor and artist-in-residence at the LBI Foundation of the Arts and Sciences in Loveladies, and an instructor for the Pine Shores Art Association. She is also a member of the LBI Arts Council and Cape May Art League. The artist’s work is on display at galleries in Surf City, Barnegat Light, Bay Head, Manasquan and Somers Point, and are part of private collections in the US, Canada, the Caribbean, and Europe. “My work is inspired by the natural environment as well as objects I find interesting
to paint both from photographs and plein air. I am drawn to painting seascapes, local landmarks or icons of a community along with vintage bicycles, which have become a recurring theme.” “Capturing the light, gradation of colors, shadows, and reflections on water, land and objects infl uence my paintings. I seek to infuse my work with visual energy to elicit a mood or memory for the viewer,” Ramsay said. The Barnegat Library is located at 112 Burr Street. Weekly hours are Monday, Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, call the branch at 609698-3331, or visit theoceancountylibrary. org/events.

Changing Your Wax Guards
Did you know? Wax guards help protect your hearing aids from damaging buildup of wax, skin particles, and other debris. Quite often, the hearing aid may sound “weak” or “dead” because of a clogged filter! Learn how to change them right at home — it’s a breeze! Know When to Change the Wax Guard. Putting this task on at least a monthly schedule offers an easy nudge for handling it in a timely manner. Plus, if your technology isn’t working properly — even with fresh batteries — it may be a sign that the wax guard needs changing. Use the Right One for Your Device. Wax guards come in diverse sizes and types, but not every version is right for your hearing aids. We can provide or help you choose the compatible wax guards for your specific hearing instruments. Remove the Old Wax Guard. Most wax-guard kits comprise a set of small sticks — each with a removal prong on one end or side and a small, white replacement wax guard on the other. Remove the current wax guard from your hearing aid shell by pushing the prong into the center hole of the guard and then
pulling it out. Clean the Hearing Aid Shell. With the old wax guard removed, clean the area using a toothbrush set aside for hearing aid maintenance. Brushing off the shell with a few strokes helps clear it of any remaining wax or other debris. Remember, when brushing the hearing aid, the receiver port should be facing downward. By this time, you should be hearing more sound from the hearing instrument (particularly if the wax guard was clogged). Install the New Wax Guard. Using the same tool, line up the end that contains the new guard with the hole on your hearing aid shell or earmold where the old one sat. Gently push the prong into the center hole — the new wax guard should set or snap in place — then pull the prong back out. You may need to briefly hold the new guard in place with your fingernail while you remove the tool. If your technology still isn’t sounding as clear as it did or exhibits some other issue, please call us at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin). We’re here to help! Visit us at www.gardenstatehearing.com.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Bitter Melon Is Useful For Oral Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
There’s a famous quote by Hippocrates that underpins today’s article: Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Bitter melon is a food that has a new potential use for an unusual cancer. It’s a a gourd that belongs to the pumpkin and zucchini family. You’ll likely be told by your doctor that this is just a folk remedy and not “approved” for anything important. I disagree. As you know, my life’s work is devoted to researching natural foods and extracts that work along the same pathways as drugs. I’m a pharmacist so I understand all of that. FYI, I happen to also formulate dietary supplements and to be fully transparent, I have included bitter melon in one of them. But it’s in there for blood sugar and insulin sensitivity concerns. Today’s article isn’t about any of that. It’s about mouth cancer. Early signs of oral cancer are easy to ignore and include chronic mouth sores, white or red patches in your mouth, numbness, pain, difficulty swallowing, jaw swelling or voice alterations. Bitter melon is a food and its constituents have been studied for the past few years for fast-growing malignancies, especially mouth cancer which many smokers get. Tobacco is a risk factor, among others. The latest news is solid and suggests that bitter melon extracts can slow down the growth of oral dysplasia and squamous cell cancer in the mouth and throat. This makes me think it could help with stomach and colon cancer too. This also makes me think all smokers should read
today’s article. Certain inflammatory pathways and pain-causing cytokines rise during the development and progression of oral cancer. If bitter melon can control the cytokines (and again, research proves that it does) then oral cancer progression and spreading is blocked! Your oncologist might be interested in evaluating certain immune checkpoints that bitter melon is known to suppress. I list the specific pathways and cytokines in my extended article, which I can email to anyone who wants it. Just join my online community at suzycohen.com In a brand new study published in October 2019, researchers proved that bitter melon inhibited both glycolysis and lipogenesis, which is hugely beneficial to oral cancer patients. This should be making headlines everywhere but since it’s not heavily funded, and foods don’t make people money, you won’t hear about it after today. A paradigm shift needs to occur in your mind if you’re being treated for cancer. Please tell yourself that many malignancies have natural, proven treatments that can help. Of course, you want to be prudent but keep an open-mind. I hope today’s article gives you renewed hope and a new therapy to consider. Bitter melon is considered a food, but it’s also sold as a tea and dietary supplement. My intention is to help improve or extend the life of someone you know and/or augment their chemotherapy. This is purely educational, so please ask your doctor what is right for you.

Zenger was transferred to the Kessler Institute of Rehabilitation in West Orange where he is expected to remain for at least the next two months. He will be unable to conduct his businesses on a daily basis, and the members of his family are suffering. He has a wife, Semra, and two children. Semra has taken a leave of absence from work to serve as his primary caretaker upon his return from the rehabilitation facility. A GoFundMe has been established to aid the family with its growing expenses.
In its fi rst two days the GoFundMe raised around $7,200 of its $20,000 goal. According to the GoFundMe campaign, Zenger “is a very endearing person with a heart of gold. He has been an active member of his community as well as a well-loved and respected volunteer soccer coach for many years.” “Ozzie is a great person. He is incredibly giving and supportive of people in need. He has spent a good portion of his life helping others in need,” said his friend Brian Swanke, president of CWR Wholesale Distribution. “He…always has a ‘pay it back mentality’.” The GoFundMe can be found here: gofundme.com/f/okan-quotozziequot-zenger

Fake Babies And Stolen Yogurt Accusations Prove False
By Bob Vosseller LACEY – You’ve heard of fake news but fake infants? When resident Patricia Larkin recently visited her local Aldi store with her young daughter she never realized she’d be accused of having a bogus baby as a ruse to smuggle yogurt containers out of the grocery store. Larkin reported in the community Facebook group Lacey Township Chatter that during her shopping trip she was informed that a woman made the wild accusation to store cashier. While tired from a few nights of restless sleep due to her two-month-old child she reacted by having fun with the situation and posted a smiling picture of herself holding her sleeping daughter while in the store in front of the Aldi logo. She took the ridiculous situation in stride posting “thank you for the laugh. My baby is 100% real. Yogurts are like $.25 at Aldi, I’m lactose intolerant and don’t consume any dairy at all.” The cashier was equally baffled as well as amused by the situation according to Larkin. Larkin’s daughter started to cry while the conversation between Larkin and the cashier went on. That probably wasn’t due to the allegations of not being real. It is just what babies do at times. Once posted, it didn’t take long for the entire escapade to go viral and township residents were equally quick to put their
two cents in on the saga. Some remarked how cute Larkin’s fake child was while another respondent thought the accusation should have replaced yogurt with a “butterball turkey.” According to an article posted on the “Today Show” website, a woman claiming to be the accuser is standing by her decision to tip off the cashier on the false claim. “It was me and I am not ashamed to say so. The baby was sleeping the entire time and was like a dead weight in her arms,” wrote a woman who identified herself as Aileen Krupa. Krupa stated that she works in retail and noted that shoplifters often use children as decoys. While she didn’t reference examples of decoy babies being used in this fashion, she vowed to continue reporting activity she deemed suspicious in the future. Larkrin’s response to that was pointing out that her daughter Eliana was crying and moving around during the Aldi shopping trip. She didn’t want to see people bashing her accuser on Facebook and told Today that she simply wanted to share an amusing incident that had occurred. An incident she is still laughing over. The proud mom also interpreted the incident to be a bit of a compliment. Was her beautiful daughter simply seen as a doll? Perhaps so but as far as the Larkin is concerned, she’s a living doll.

Concerns About Genetic Testing Kits for Detecting Breast Cancer Genes You’ve most likely seen on TV, ads for home kits like 23andMe and Ancestry.com about your ancestry through saliva testing. 23andMe is now offering the ability to give you health reports as well, and people are curious if these reports can determine if they carry the BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 genes, which increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The concern is the patient will look at a negative result and think that they have no chance of developing breast cancer related to an abnormal gene, but patients need to know that these types of direct-to-consumer genetic testing kits may not give you the kind of information that specific medical testing kits for breast cancer do. Kits like 23andMe don’t test for all the genes for breast cancer and its possible variants. They only test for an extremely small number, out of the thousands, of variants in the BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 genes, known for breast and ovarian cancer. In addition, there are other breast cancer genes known to increase risk, with a panel of 20 or more genes that may be important for the patient in a clinical setting. Another issue is these specific gene mutations, tested by 23andMe, are only common in certain ethnicities and nationalities. In-person testing with a doctor is more thorough, will cover all bases and get you the most accurate information. This testing can also be through a simple saliva test. If you feel that you are at risk for breast cancer, talk to your doctor about a multi-panel specific gene test for breast cancer.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE RON ROTEM, DDS
The Center For Exceptional Cosmetic & Adult Dentistry Let’s face it, for most of us, there is a certain stigma surrounding the phobia we experience when going to the dentist, whether it’s the awkward feeling of having someone poke around your mouth and inspect your teeth, or the anticipation of potentially painful procedures such as getting a cavity filled or tooth removed. At Rotem Dental Care, Dr. Ronen Rotem, along with his associate, Dr. Mihirgir Bava, are passionate about changing the stigma associated with a dental visit. The moment you walk into his office, you’ll sense something different about Dr. Rotem’s practice. For one, that proverbial dentist office smell, you know that distinct smell that many of us find repugnant, even nerve-fraying, is completely non-existent. Instead, you’re more likely to be greeted by the aroma of calming herbal teas, or the smell of hot coffee brewing from a Keurig machine, even freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies! “We offer care that is warm and welcoming, making every patient we see feel right at home from the moment they walk through the door,” Dr. Rotem says. When you arrive in Dr. Rotem’s reception area, you’ll be greeted by one
of his staff members who knows you by your name. You won’t find a closed window with a placard telling you to sign in on the clipboard in front of you. You’ll immediately notice the atmosphere is relaxing and refreshing. Once in a chair in the treatment room, you can leave your troubles behind while you sink into a Tempur-Pedic cushion and watch a movie or listen to music. “My goal is for my patients to feel as comfortable as possible in every respect,” Dr. Rotem explains. Moreover, if you desire an added dose of comfort, Dr. Rotem can help you find complete relaxation with sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry is the term used for methods of calming or relaxing patients who experience some form of dental phobia. With some patients, even thinking about going to the dentist or sitting in the dentist chair fills them with acute anxiety. At Rotem Dental Care, Dr. Rotem understands this fear can be very real for you and therefore invests in the training and resources to help those who experience dental-induced anxiety feel calm during their visits. Various methods of conscious sedation are offered at Rotem Dental Care, including: oral medications such as Valium, intravenous sedation and nitrous oxide. If you choose nitrous
oxide as a form of sedation, you can expect to be totally relaxed and calm throughout the whole dental procedure, yet completely awake. Dr. Rotem also affords you the option of nap sedation dentistry, which is ideal for procedures that would normally require multiple visits to be condensed into one visit. He explains the benefits of sedation dentistry in the following way: “Dental sedation has literally changed lives by allowing those who would not visit the dentist (even though they knew they needed to!) to get the dental care they most desperately need.” Do you hesitate when you smile? Would you like to increase your self-confidence? Do you
want to look your best in social or professional situations? If so, Dr. Rotem can help you achieve your smile goals through implant dentistry! A dental implant is a man-made replacement for a tooth root. They are ideal for patients who have missing or compromised teeth due to gum disease, decay, injury or for those who have missing teeth. If you are interested in implant dentistry, Dr. Rotem will address all of your questions and concerns about the exact nature of implant dentistry, its many benefits and most importantly—whether you are a potential candidate for them. Additionally, as a comprehensive practice, Rotem Dental Care offers many other services including: teeth cleaning, dental veneers, invisalign clear braces, filings, extractions and much, much more! As someone committed to providing excellent, personalized care and services to you and your family, Dr. Rotem offers a Dental Savings Plan to those who have no dental insurance. “Our Dental Savings Plan was created with one simple idea— that all people should have access to premium dental care, end of story” says Dr. Rotem. Some of the features of the plan include no yearly maximums, no deductibles and perhaps best of
all—immediate eligibility! The desire to help others spills out of Dr. Rotem’s office and into the community. Once a year, Dr. Rotem sponsors a candy buyback contest, where local children donate some of their candy to Dr. Rotem who in turn sends the candy to troops serving overseas and pays the children for their generous offering: “I started this program with the intention to at once incentivize kids to donate their candy while at the same time giving our troops overseas a special Halloween,” Dr. Rotem explains. Practicing in Ocean County for 20 years, Dr. Rotem will be celebrating this milestone with a random sweepstakes. The sweepstakes will run monthly through the end of September and the prize is a balcony cabin for two on the Norwegian Cruise Ship “Escape” with Bermuda as its destination. Rotem Dental Care is always accepting new patients. To find out more about Dr. Rotem’s expertise and services, check out his website at RotemDentalCare. com or call the office and set up an appointment at 732-3418500. The office is conveniently located at 355 Lakehurst Road in Toms River. Dr. Rotem and the rest of his staff at Rotem Dental Care will be more than happy to help you have that beautiful smile you always dreamed of.

Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fees
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, 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.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of NOV 30 - dec 6
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on having a peaceful place to work while you pursue creative ideas and try to sidestep those who push your buttons. In the week ahead, an unexpected bill or expense can become the subject of aggravation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): During the week to come, your interest in the latest trends can broaden your horizons. You appear tolerant and open-minded, and you may be invited to share meals or events with someone outside your regular circle. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Exhibit an aptitude for fairness. You can blow the whistle and make the call, but make sure you’re a nonpartisan referee. Take steps to ensure that your relationships are harmonious and your surroundings are pleasant in the coming week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There should be an abundance of opportunities to spend time with family in the upcoming week. Don’t be disappointed if one person has a scheduling conflict or another one wants to do something nontraditional. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get in touch with friends and family who have drifted away. In the week ahead you might be puzzled by someone’s unexpected change of heart or plans, but that doesn’t mean you should lose your temper. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you make it plain that you play by the rules, other people will be persuaded to play fair, too. You may juggle several fantasies this week, but you are realistic enough to know that they will require hard work.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Those who hold the reins of power might be impressed by your enthusiasm and creative talents. If you are dissatisfied with life or restless for excitement, find acceptable ways to break out of a self-imposed rut. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Both friends and foes are likely to take you into their confidence. Friends in high places might give you a tip or drop a hint that lets you to make smart business decisions. It is a good week for something totally different. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An appreciation of the best the world offers may be your best trait. Your toughest problem in the week ahead might be how to fit an extra piece of pumpkin pie on your plate without seeming greedy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not everything is what it seems. You may be misled or misinformed in the upcoming week, but you can rely upon better judgment and decision-making skills during the next few days. Make a plan and stick to it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make a progressive pick. You probably don’t need every new gadget or app, but it can be eye-opening to experiment with something new this week. Try things out to see if they are beneficial in some way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When you are surrounded by peace and tranquility, you can be more creative, artistic and visionary. Feel free to act when your imagination is energized. You may learn who your most trusted allies are in the week ahead.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Turkey Croquettes Can Transform Your Thanksgiving Leftovers By Wolfgang Puck
TURKEY CROQUETTES Serves 8 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup (125 ml) all-purpose flour 2 cups (500 ml) good-quality canned low-sodium chicken broth or stock, heated to a simmer 4 cups (1 l) cooked turkey meat, picked free of bones, skin, fat, or gristle 2 tablespoons minced yellow onion 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley leaves 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Pinch freshly ground black pepper Pinch cayenne 23/4 cups (685 ml) fine dried breadcrumbs, plain or seasoned 4 large eggs In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Stirring briskly with a wire whisk, sprinkle in the flour to form a smooth paste. Continue stirring in a figure-8 motion and cook until this roux looks bubbly but is still light in color, 3 to 5 motion. Still stirring briskly with the whisk, pour in the hot chicken broth. Simmer, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens to a thick, creamy consistency. Remove from the heat. Work in batches if your processor is not large enough to hold all the ingredients comfortably. Put the turkey meat,
onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Add the warm sauce and pulse the machine on and off until the turkey meat is just barely but evenly minced; the mixture still should have some good texture to it. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and leave it until it is cool enough to form with your hands. Break the eggs into a large, shallow bowl and beat them with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are evenly combined. Spread the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl or on a large plate. With clean hands moistened with a little cold water, form some of the turkey mixture into a ball about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter; turn into in the beaten eggs to coat it, then immediately roll it gently in the breadcrumbs until coated. Transfer to a large clean platter or tray, gently flattening them slightly to form thick discs. Repeat with the remaining turkey mixture, eggs, and breadcrumbs. In a large frying pan or skillet with high sides, heat about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of oil over high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C) on a deep-frying thermometer. Add several of the croquettes to the frying pan, taking care not to crowd the oil, and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes total; use a wire skimmer or slotted spoon to turn them over gently about halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the fried croquettes to a platter lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining croquettes.
