By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – The township had not one but two ground breaking events recently. Both took place at the same time and location and both signified what officials called a bright future for the community.

In April, members of the township council, Municipal Utilities Authority and its Economic Development Committee joined the Chamber of Commerce to discuss future development of Jackson. Their goal for more than a decade has been to see the township become a weekend destination point for fun and recreation.

This week that goal moved a giant step forward with the signing and breaking ground on the Adventure Sports & Entertainment project – and a Hilton hotel project - in the township. The groundbreaking ceremonies for both projects were held at the site, 567 Monmouth Road.

Motorcyclists Rev Up Fundraising For Homeless Veterans

Hotel:

Continued From Page 1 Mayor Michael Reina was very excited about this next phase of commercial development in the township, declaring “The reality has come. Jackson’s future is here.”

“We want those who come here to visit the park (Six Flags Great Adventure) to stay here in Jackson and not stay outside of the township,” Council President Kenneth Bressi said previously.

Reina said the five-story hotel project will include 134 rooms and a full service restaurant. Construction is expected to start in September with a target date for completion in March 2020.

The 10,000 square-foot hotel property will be located adjacent to Six Flags Great Adventure and will also offer a 24-hour business center and state of the art fitness center.

“In 2011, I put together a conference with members of the State Department, the lieutenant governor, real estate agencies, Six Flags and others to see about what we could do to develop our 537/1-95 corridor,” Reina said. “We wanted to stay away from the downtown and schools or to disrupt our existing infrastructure. This was a perfect area to develop.

“We’ve been planning and nurturing this since 2011 and during that time up to today we’ve spoken to dozens of investors. Our administrator (Helene Schlegel) and I gave ourselves a high five when we heard the news of its approval,” Reina said.

Cardinale Enterprises of Jackson is the developer for the project and is also associated with the recently approved sports complex project. Reina noted that the sports complex, which would also be based within the 1-195 corridor, would feature a shopping complex and would help “get kids involved in sports and off the streets. We’ll have a hotel now with suites for overnight stays and have major sporting tournaments and events.”

Vito Cardinale, CEO of Cardinale Enterprises, said the $21 million project will help visitors to Great Adventure have more than a one-day trip and make Jackson into a much larger destination.

Cardinale said that the amusement park, while popular, would not justify a hotel or it would have been built already. Cardinale said the township “needed a destination.”

The Sports Complex has already caught the attention of noted sports figures like Crystl Irene Bustos. Bustos was a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic softball team that won a silver medal. Her Ruthless Softball League has expressed interest in hosting sporting events at the facility following its completion.

Reina added that while the sports complex will serve to promote the township it was not forgetting the vital role of the area’s largest amusement park. “We let Six Flags know that we appreciate them as a partner and as a good neighbor.”

The news is not the only advancement for the township announced this year. Earlier this year an arrangement between the MUA (Hotel - See Page 4)

“When the planning board approved it (the hotel) it was my proudest moment as mayor and it will help provide new income to the county and township with no burden on our taxes or schools,” Reina said.

5 p.m. There will also be a special holiday market held on November 19.

If you’re not in any of these areas, perhaps visit the Downtown Toms River Farmers Market. This market is held from now until November 15, and on November 20 for a Thanksgiving Market, every

the way for the project, any unforeseen obstacles would be addressed between the developer and the state or county. “The township won’t get involved in that. Any hurdles will be taken care of by them.”

Reina said that the township council is equally pleased with the progress of the township’s initiatives. “The fact that Hilton is associated with this shows how positive this is. For them to come into Jackson speaks volumes.”

The nearest hotels for visitors to Jackson currently are 10 miles away and include the American Hotel in Freehold Borough and the Radisson Hotel in Freehold Township.

Wednesday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Choose from four different NJ fresh produce farmers and one organic farmer.

You can fi nd this market at the Ocean County Parking Garage lawn, 28-46 Hadley Avenue. There will be free parking available in the Ocean County Parking Garage.

lodge, the current president of the lodge’s motorcycle club and heads the State Elks Lodge veterans committee, said that despite the weather the event featured an outpouring of support from fellow lodges who presented donations and also provided food for the picnic.

The event was named after Jackson Elks member Jim (Huntz) Hall who died two years ago. “He was a friend and wanted to put together something with our motorcycle club members to raise money for homeless veterans.” Sadly, Hall died of complications from his diabetes.

“We’re like the Post Office. This event goes on rain, snow or shine,” Struble said.

“We raised $5,000 our first year and later $7,000 and last year we came in with about $25,000. We do what we can,” A full total of this year’s event was unavailable at press time.

The event would have normally included a ceremony at the Brigadier Gen. William C. Doyle Military Cemetery in North Hanover Township, Burlington County but the day’s weather forced that portion of it to be cancelled.

Members of Elks Motorcycle Club at the Jackson Elks, located on East Veterans Highway, and the Jamesburg Elks Lodge, in Jamesburg, had been scheduled to take a scenic ride at 10 a.m.

While Struble said the Jackson Elks Lodge may be smaller than others, most of its members are part of its motorcycle club and it also includes a large number of female members.

Struble said that Elks Lodges across the country host special veterans support events around this time of year. “We have 115 lodges in New Jersey and we try to get everyone involved. We are hoping to get one big event like we do for the annual Miracle Run which is being held at the end of July and this year is being held in Pompton Lake.”

The Miracle Run supports the Lodges’ joint fundraiser of sending handicapped children to Camp Moore. “That is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we do it all together. This event would not be possible without the help of our area Elks Lodges” Struble said. Lodges from Toms River, Brick, Point Pleasant, Old Bridge, Manasquan, Howell and others attended the day’s event.

Struble added that he appreciated the (Fundraiser - See Page 16)

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

TRENTON - The Assembly advanced a pair of Assemblyman Ron Dancer’s bills bolstering the dairy farm industry.

“There’s a reason we have seen the number of operat-

ing dairy farms in the state plum met,” said Dancer (R-12th). “The razor-thin profit margin for dairies is dictated by commodity prices set at the federal level. There are less than

Bills Promoting NJ Dairy Farmers Approved By The Assembly 100 dairy farms remaining.

We can help them survive by promoting the indust r y, and expanding the market.”

Dancer’s AR156 calls on the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Commerce to increase exportation of New Jersey dairy products.

Congressman WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th), who represents much of Monmouth County, applauded the recent ruling by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities rejecting the proposal of Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) to construct a high-voltage power line between Red Bank and Aberdeen.

“Today’s decision is a vindication for local residents who fought long and hard to oppose these power lines, especially Rachel Kanapka and her committed group Residents Against Giant Electric (RAGE),” said Smith, who visited many sites along the route of the proposed power lines, met with concerned residents and local officials,

and testified on the detrimental effects the power lines would have on the local communities. “I applaud the Board of Public Utilities for making this decision, and I am pleased to have been able to work hard alongside all the members of RAGE.” After the giant power lines were proposed as part of the Monmouth County Reliability Project (MCRP), Smith met with residents who would have been directly affected by the proposed power line and personally visited homes, in July of 2016.

“When I walked through the neighborhoods of Holmdel and Middletown surveying the proposed power line route, I was convinced that the project would be devastating for the

vigorate the state economy.”

The assemblyman, with AJR113, also establishes a dairy week to promote the role of dairy products in a healthy lifestyle.

“Dairy is a convenient source of vitamins D and A, calcium, potassium and other valuable nutrients,” said Dancer. “Designating

the last full week of June as Dairy Week emphasizes the nutritional benefits of milk.”

Consuming milk, cheese and yogurt contributes to bone health in young people and helps lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Power Line Denial Is A “Victory For Monmouth”

From The Desk Of

Chris Smith

“The worldwide demand for h ig h- qu al it y d ai r y goods has quadrupled in the last 15 years,” said Dancer.

“New Jersey exported $3 million in dairy products in 2016. Shipping more milk product to hungry markets in Mexico, China and South America will create jobs for New Jersey workers and in-

five communities involved at different points along the route, and by extension, the county,” Smith said.

With the poles ranging in height from 135 to 210 feet, the power lines would have run in close proximity to residential neighborhoods and schools from Red Bank to Aberdeen, along a 9.7-mile strip along the NJ Transit rail right-of-way.

Smith thanked members of RAGE along with other residents who successfully rallied against the proposed power lines.

“In addition to Rachel Kanapka, I thank Kin Gee, Lisa Walsh, Judy Musa and Terri Vilardi, as well as dozens of state and local elected officials and the hundreds of residents who have reached out to me, for their ceaseless advocacy and untiring passion for this cause,” Smith said.

“For two years, we worked to ensure this just result - to guarantee that neighborhoods from Aberdeen to Red Bank would not be endangered by these monster power lines, and residents sickened by the potential harmful effects of low-voltage radiation emitted by this proposed high-voltage transmission line,” Smith stated.

Smith concluded that the unsightly power lines in clear view of homes would almost certainly hurt the property values of those homes and result in economic loss for many long-time local residents. And a potentially more serious problem lay in the long-term effects of the low-voltage radiation that would be emitted by the high-voltage transmission line, in close proximity to schools and residential backyards where children would be exposed to this radiation.

Smith met with concerned neighbors personally in 2016 and went into the field to examine the proposed route of the power lines.

Smith presented these concerns in his testimony before the New Jersey Transit Corporation Board of Directors on October 13, 2016, to convince the agency to reject JCP&L’s application to site monopoles on the NJT right-of-way. At that October meeting, New Jersey Transit officials promised to personally tour the route of the proposed power lines.

“Some may argue that there is little or no adverse health link to exposure to the electromagnetic fields created by these high-voltage lines, and may produce select studies that suggest that, but there is statistically relevant evidence including studies - that suggest otherwise,” Smith said in his

testimony.

In November 2016, Smith visited more homes, a school, senior center, and church along the MCRP route, with NJ Transit officials and other elected officials. In February of 2017, he submitted a statement to the NJ Senate Economic Growth Committee in opposition to the MCRP. “Out of an abundance of caution for the health, safety and welfare of Monmouth County families, reject JCP&L’s power line project,” Smith stated.

Smith also submitted remarks against the project to the Honorable Gail M. Cookson, NJ Office of Administrative Law, in May of 2017.

In March of 2018, Judge Cookson sided with the residents who opposed the plan.

Smith applauded the decision as one “that took seriously and upheld the legitimate concerns of local residents.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Family Time And Family Entertainment My generation - granted it’s a while back - would sit together enjoying shows like M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, Dick Van Dyke, etc. I realize that life changes but is it really for the better? When one turns on the TV and sees so many killing shows, on a Saturday morning no less, when kids are looking for cartoons or wholesome shows - is it any wonder that teenagers are running around with weapons?

Family life is not what it used to be and I surely see that, but life in America is no way better than it used to be. A few younger people have said to me “this isn’t the 50s” – you’re darn right - that’s why we were called the greatest generation and

I was privileged to marry and raise my children during that time. We sat as a family every night at 6 and ate together. Sure, some of us had other things to do after dinner but that was that one meal of the day we ate together and I’m so glad now we did.

And so, as I reflect on the past and look around the world I have to wonder what are other countries/islands doing better than we are?

If I were raising children today, there would be no phones on the dinner table.

Families, just talk to each other before our current civilization is wiped out and I’m not kidding.

Freeholder Parts Ways With Republican Party After my commitment to the Republican Party, I find that the direction of t h e p a r t y i n M o n mouth Cou nt y is one I can no longer follow. I filed a petition to run for re-election as your Monmouth County Freeholder as an Independent. I didn’t leave the County Re pu bl ic a n Pa r t y, t h e County Republican Party left me.

To qualify for the November ballot, the law requires that I have 100 sig nat u res on my pe tition. I f iled my petitions with more than 450 s ig n a t u r e s . T h e Mo n mouth County Republican boss Shaun Golden wa s s o u p s e t w it h my decision to run as an Independent that he filed a formal challenge to my petition with the Monmouth Cou nt y Clerk.

T his Cou nt y Clerk, by the way, is also the Monmouth County Republican Vice Chair. Imagine that! Can you say conf lict of interest?

Now here is the funny par t: Republican Par t y boss Golden was so incompetent that he challenged less than 200 of t he 450 -plus sig nat u re on my petitions. So, even i f G old e n wo n a l l h i s challenges, I would still have 250 valid signatures on my petition when only 100 are required by law.

In the end, the Clerk only dismissed 133 signatures so I easily qualified to be on the ballot in November as an Independent.

I than k each and ever y person who sig ned up to support me and I look forward to meeting many more residents of Monmouth County as I campaign to be the first Independent elected to t he Mon mout h Cou nt y Board Of Chosen Free-

MacArthur Fights Drug Crisis As the mother of a recent high school graduate, I am constantly trying to keep up with the changing trends of teenagers.

Whether it is the newest social media app, YouTube video, or slang term that has become a regular part of my child’s vocabular y, each d ay br i ngs new i n for mat ion a s to how our children interact w it h t he world a rou nd them and how as parents, we can remain engaged and informed about how to keep our kids safe.

The opioid crisis provides ter r if ying statist ic s fo r o u r s t a t e a n d nation. I n New Jersey, 2,056 people died of an opioid overdose in 2016.

I n 2 018 , m o r e t h a n 2 million Americans will suf fer f rom opioid addiction. It is imperative that our elected officials work together with law enforcement to get these drugs off of our streets, and away from our kids.

Remembering The Good Old Days C a n a nyo n e r e m e m ber a t i me when you could leave your house u n locked 24 -7 a nd not worry? Ever get bumped by some one wh i le out du r ing the holidays and the person actually t u r ned arou nd to say “Excuse me.” Ca n you remember holding a door open for a stranger and them than k i ng you for it? Well, I can, and how times have changed.

I remember when everyone stood for the national anthem with hand over heart.

I remember when everyone you knew or spoke to was a patriot and respected our f lag.

I remember when Civics was taught in school so we could learn about our f lag, ou r C on st it ut ion and our rights. I remember people spoke the truth without being politically correct. Remember when immigrants had to register and get vaccinated at Ellis Island when entering our great land.

I remember when the people’s candidate won an election. They celebrated and those whose candidate lost dealt with it u nt i l n e x t ele c t io n .

Not resist, name call and point fingers.

Remember a congress that did what the people elected them to do? Take care of us and most importantly, protect us. Not

a nd money app oi nt i ng special cou ncils to t r y and remove a president t hey don’t ag ree w it h.

Deal with it, until next election and do your jobs.

I can remember when the safety and security of our nation was f irst priority for a president or polit icia n. We have p e ople i n ou r c ou nt r y today illegally that are career criminals or gang members. We have polit icia n s t o d ay lo ok i ng to protect a nd prov ide them sanctuar y. Isn’t it the responsibility of all politicians and non-polit icia n s we ele ct f rom either side of the aisle, to look out for the safety and well-being of the law abiding citizens of our nation?

I ask, how did this great country of ours get in the mess it’s in today?

Ha s ou r nat ion been sold out from beneath us by spineless past presidents?

Or was it on the backs of spineless past politicians?

I remember presidents that did what was best for our nation. They always thought of us first.

I remember when presidents showed strength, courage and stayed true to their word. I remember when they made us proud. They stood up for us agai nst other cou nt r ies and ou r enem ies.

They didn’t draw artificial lines in the sand and then turn their back and walk away.

I remember the presid e nt s a n d p ol it ic i a n s who had spines; they are the ones who made our nation great.

I remember the presidents and politicians who we re spi ne -le ss, t hose just took away from our nation’s greatness.

Does anyone else remember?

The citation is good for one free (hard or soft) serve small cone of ice cream at Farley’s Homemade Ice Cream. The citations are redeemable at the Farley’s location in the Anillop Plaza, 740 Brewers Bridge Road in Jackson.

Besides getting a free ice cream cone, each participant will be eligible for the grand prize. In early December, one boy and one girl’s name will be drawn and each winner will receive up to $200 towards the purchase of a new bicycle.

County Adds Four More Dates For Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection program has been extended with four new dates, according to Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little.

The summer collection dates are: • 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., July 14, Lacey Township Recycling Center, 820 Municipal Lane • 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Aug. 11, Brick Township Public Works Yard, 836 Ridge Road • 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sept. 8, Ship Bottom Municipal Boat Ramp, West 10th Street and Shore Avenue • 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sept. 29, Point Pleasant Municipal Building, 2233 Bridge Avenue.

These four dates will be serviced by Radiac Environmental Services at a cost of 49 cents a pound.

Little, who also serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management, said that the first three collection dates this year collected 133,881 pounds of household hazardous waste.

“This free program, which got started in 1989, provides an avenue to get rid of items like paints, paint thinner, and cleaners, properly and safely, keeping the material from entering our waterways and our preserved lands,” Little said. “The Department of Solid Waste Management has done a great job in implementing this program for almost three decades.”

Materials accepted at program sites include:

paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline.

You can also drop off certain hazardous waste materials at municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers year-round.

“Our residents should check with the County or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Little said.

Residents can attend any waste collection site at any location. The max is 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the County’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted.

To register: • Lacey Township, call 732-506-5047 • Brick Township and Point Pleasant sites, call 732-367-0802 • Ship Bottom, call 609-978-0913.

Registration is required and is done on a first come first served basis. For more information on the program, visit co.ocean.nj.us/recycle.

“We encourage our residents to use this free program to make certain chemicals, cleaners, solvents and other items we use around the house are disposed of properly,” Little said.

“We take great pride in our environment in Ocean County. This program helps reduce the potential for environmental damage.”

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Buying A Hearing Aid Is So Confusing

Is it really possible to simplify the purchase of a hearing aid? The answer is, probably maybe. In fact, there is so much advertising of product A through Z that I believe many potential hearing aid wearers are too confused to take the next step.

Which manufacturers make the best hearing aids? In my opinion, the major players include Phonak, Widex, Sonic Innovations, GN Resound, Starkey, Siemens and Oticon. These manufacturers are focusing their research on digital technology in an attempt to improve speech understanding in background noise. Digital hearing aids are recommended for the active individual who can afford the technology. Digital hearing aids work best as a pair, or binaural set, to provide hearing balance. The minimal

cost of low level digitals is around $2,000 and higher end digitals can cost up to $6,500 for a pair.

Make sure you have a trial period to evaluate the benefits of any hearing aid. Trial periods will range from 30 to 60 days. Professional service fees (i.e., non-refundable) should only apply if you return the hearing aid(s) for refund. The hearing health care professional needs to account for his/her time and in many cases, will spend four to five hours with a patient during the specified trial period.

Dr. Izzy recommends that if you are not satisfied with the performance of the first hearing aid, try a different aid from another manufacturer with possibly different technology. The worst thing you can do is to “walk out with the same hearing problem” that you walked in with.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Handling Menopause And Andropause As A Couple

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

As we age, we notice symptoms creeping up every few months. With women, it’s called menopause and includes many symptoms such as fatigue, forgetfulness, hot flashes, vaginal discomfort or atrophy, decreased libido, irritability and insomnia.

Menopause can be surgically induced, as occurs when you get a total hysterectomy.

With men, it’s termed andropause and the symptoms include reduced fatigue, sex drive, weak erections, depression, loss of strength and muscle mass, weight gain as well as occasional night sweats akin to a woman’s hot flash. You might find that you’re less competitive than normal.

In the news recently, there have been some interesting findings reported from brand new studies. The first that comes to mind is about post-menopausal women and how they have an elevated risk for heart failure or coronary heart disease, if they have have higher testosterone levels compared to estradiol (an estrogen hormone).

What about your brain and mood? For sure, psychological symptoms are one of the first (and worst) things noticed by men and women during menopause and andropause. You might think you’re going crazy, and so might those around you. It differs for everyone, and new research suggests that if you’ve been struggling with mental health issues prior to menopause/andropause, they are bound to get worse. In particular, symptoms such as panic attacks and suicidal ideation seem to heighten, and it’s much harder to deal with

than typical annoyances such as depression, irritability, mood swings, insomnia and memory loss.

The CDC found that the rate of women committing suicide has been on the rise since the year 2000, it’s up by 50 percent and the average age is between 45 and 64. I have to wonder how many of these people were brought to the brink from the use of mind-bending anxiolytics or antidepressants that are thought to impair otherwise good judgement and possibly raise risk of suicide. It brings to mind fashionista Kate Spade and TV chef Anthony Bourdain, both of whom were taking anti-anxiety medications. They impact your brain and sometimes in a good way, but also in a bad way due to unexpected side effects.

Today, I’d like to offer a few tips that could help you, as a couple, age more comfortably together, and minimize the problems that drive people to doctors, or worse, to psychiatrists who numb you with addictive medications. Here are eight ideas to get your hormones balanced: 1. Manage stressful situations 2. Avoid estrogenic chemicals 3. Maintain a healthy sex life 4. Watch what you eat 5. Exercise 6. Actually, sleep at night 7. Get enough rest 8. Aswhagandha If you’d like to read the extended, more comprehensive version of my article, please sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Fundraiser:

Continued From Page 4 support of the community including Mayor Michael Reina, the council and its agencies.

“Every year the town sets up a hook and ladder truck with a large American flag that the motorcyclists drive under when they return to the lodge. It really is quite a sight.”

Susan “Cuz” Dawson, the treasurer for the Jackson Lodge, and Joanne Baldwin, who is a past exalted ruler, trustee and current Special Needs Chairperson, were admiring the large flag hanging from the fire truck of the Whitesville Fire Department. The 30 x 50-foot flag was on loan to Jackson firefighters from the Cassville Fire Company.

Baldwin noted that the event serves to aid homeless veterans, including homeless female veterans, through aiding a township-based organization called Guiding Light. Lodge members also assemble special kits for veterans that include towels and other items for their wellbeing. These kits are provided to the shelters that house homeless veterans.

“Guiding Light has a new building for the women veterans. We also make welcome home packages for returning veterans,” Baldwin said.

Dawson said she has only been a member of the Jackson Elks Lodge for a year but has been an Elk for 17 years and has enjoyed the projects this lodge is involved with.

Joe McIlvaine traveled a distance for the event. While he is a Jackson Elks member, he currently lives in the Poconos. “This is an important event. It is at least three hours away. This is my fourth Homeless Veterans Run. I try not to miss any of these types of events. I own a big black and brown Harley Davidson. It looks like a buffalo,” he said with a laugh.

The Brick Elks Lodge 2151 was well represented at the event and posed for photos in front of the giant flag early on in the event.

The lodge’s motorcycle club president, Chris Russo, said his lodge “held a kick off party for this event in March. We have 30 of our members here today.”

Philip Martin, the vice president of the Brick Motorcycle Club said that $7,500 was raised and that the lodge raises $23,000 on average a year for special causes.

Past State Elks President Richard Bard praised Hall for his devotion to supporting veteran causes and for creating the day’s event five years ago. “We are here today to preserve Jimmy Hall’s legacy.”

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Council Fees

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert Shea, III, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates The death of a loved one is a tragic event.

Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved ones passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament.

If such a contest arises, understanding how legal fees could impact Estate assets is critical to know.

Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed, and parties to the Will challenge its contents, the Executor of an Estate may use Estate assets to defend any challenges. So long as the challenge to the Will is a challenge to its validity, interpretation, distribution, or specific clauses, then an Executor may hire an attorney to defend the Estate. Any counsel fees incurred in defending against such challenges to the Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution, would not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, these fees are payable to the Estate. However, when an Executor begins defending claims against non-probate assets, the circumstances change, and certain limitations apply.

Probate assets are any assets that are owned solely by the decedent, and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets can include the following: 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 can include the following: 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.

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.

Christmas In July Casino Night Fundraiser

TOMS RIVER – Brandon’s Elves will be having our 4th Annual Christmas in July Casino Night fundraiser on Jul 20 at the Days Hotel, Atlantis Ballroom, 290 Highway 37 East. We are expecting over 200 guests. To guarantee the success of this very important fundraiser, we are seeking contribution to auction at this event.

Brandon’s Elves has been established to remember Brandon Holt who was only 6 years old when he lost his life to a tragic and preventable gun accident in 2013.

Brandon loved Christmas, like most little kids, and naively thought that Santa visited and left presents for every little boy and girl. This fund’s main purpose is to help children in Ocean County.

Last year, we ensured that over 520 kids woke up Christmas mor ning to gifts under the tree. We are now expanding our reach with a new program

called Brandon’s Elves All Stars that helps with financial obligations needed in order for a child to participate in extra-curricular activities. Our goal is to not leave any family without help.

This is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

In order to meet our mission and provide children in our local communities with a Christmas, we are relying on businesses and individuals for their support. We are hopeful that you may be able to make a donation in product, gift card, or money.

Forward any generous contributions to Christine Holt of Brandon’s Elves, 115 Sloop Rd. in Manahawkin.

Generous donors are the key to our success and will make it possible for Brandon’s Elves to achieve its goal. For more information, call 732-966-0066 or email Christine.h@brandonselves. org.

Tick Awareness Month: Tick-Borne Diseases

OCEAN COUNTY – Tick-borne diseases are not spread between two people, but rather rely on ticks for transmission. All ticks have the potential to carry disease.

Each life stage of tick has only one blood meal so they can molt and for reproduction.

They do not drop off and bite again. They stay attached and feed until they are full.

An engorged tick looks like a little balloon fi lled with blood. Larvae, nymphs and female adults can engorge. While male adult ticks feed, they can’t engorge and therefore are usually not attached long enough for transmission. One exception is the male American Dog tick and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) Most tick-borne diseases are carried in the tick’s digestive system and are transmitted by nymph and adult ticks inserting their mouthparts and feeding on a host.

The minimum amount of feeding time for disease transmission varies depending on the disease: RMSF- 10-20 hrs.; Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis- 24 hrs.; Lyme Disease- 36-48 hrs. Transmission times for tularemia, and tick paralysis are unknown.

Ticks we have here in NJ and the diseases they could carry.

At this time, STARI and heartland Virus are not a problem here in NJ. Symptoms of tick-borne diseases are somewhat similar and though not always present, may include skin rash, general tiredness, fever and/or chills, headache, stiff neck, muscle aches, joint pain, dizziness. It is important to watch for symptoms and talk to your health-care provider. Early treatment can be very effective.

In 2016 within Ocean County, the NJ Health Department reported 274 cases of Lyme disease, 25 cases of Babesiosis, 11

Narcotics Anonymous Meetings JACKSON – Jackson United Methodist Church hold regular weekly meetings of Narcotics Anonymous.

NA will meet at 7:15 p.m. on Fridays at the church, 68 Bennetts Mills Road.

cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and 17 cases of Ehrlichiosis. POW is not a common disease for us in Ocean County.

For more detailed information on potential tick-borne diseases and safety, please consult the following web sites: Rutgers Fact Sheet: njaes.rutgers.edu/ tick/ New Jersey Department of Health Com-

municable Disease Service: nj.gov/health/ cd Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) : cdc.gov/ticks/diseases You may have heard about people who can no longer eat red meat. This is not a disease, but an allergic reaction to an alpha-gal protein found in the saliva of a lone star tick and is in red meat (some

medications may contain alpha-gal). Some people develop anti-bodies to this alpha-gal protein, which in turn can cause an allergic reaction (hives, trouble breathing, etc.) 3-6 hours after eating red meat. Does that mean you can never eat meat again?

Not necessarily, but as some reactions can be severe, consult a medical professional if you have questions.

Officials: Be Prepared During National Safety Month

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – While June is typically associated with the end of school and the start of summer, it is also known as National Safety Month. Ocean County Health Department officials are focusing on preparedness, wellness, fall prevention and driving safety during this summer season.

“It is important to remember that we live in a coastal area and we all need to do our part to keep everyone healthy and safe should we be confronted with another natural disaster,” said Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator. “That said, a renewed focus on wellness as we enter the vacation time of year is an ideal focus of National Safety Month.”

Regenye noted that regular doctor’s exams, healthy eating habits, moderate exercise and hydration are all ways that we can maintain our health and wellness during the summer season, as well as year-round.

“Many people may naturally pay less attention to falls and careful driving habits when snow and ice don’t serve as daily reminders…That is a reason for the focus on falls and driving during National Safety Month this year,” he added.

Officials advise residents to practice safe summer habits, such as:

Be mindful of walking around pools and wet, smooth surfaces, particularly if you’re not wearing shoes.

Be careful in areas where loose sand may have blown, especially if being jostled in crowds.

Drive defensively and watch for pedestrians Remember to help those less agile, especially in crowds and around water.

Also, a significant part of summer safety has to do with swimming.

“Swimming is a wonderful summertime activity but healthy habits are vital. Teach your children to not swallow water and make sure you take them on bathroom breaks. Keep an eye on kids at all times; kids can drown in shallow water in seconds.

Make sure you change diapers in a diaper changing area and if there is not one, move away from the pool so no germs can get into the pool,” said Regenye.

Never forget to protect yourself from the sun as the weather warms up. SPF 30 sunscreen is recommended to prevent sunburn.

Reapply after swimming.

“Make sure all your children stay hydrated with plenty of water to drink while outside and make sure children’s ears are dried after swimming,” added Regenye.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 30 - JUly 6

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You may yearn for someone’s kindhearted ministrations as you endure frustrations in the week ahead. Menial tasks and repetitive chores may prevent you from enjoying fun with your friends and loved ones.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A lack of restraint when it comes to spending money or making promises can place you in the doghouse. In the week ahead, you may find that people are more critical and exacting, so it is necessary to be discreet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might not be able to trust everything you hear in the week ahead. Your partner may sugarcoat a problem or co-workers could promise more than they can deliver. It may be up to you to offer up some tough love.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be torn two ways as this week unfolds. One part of you wants to spoil the kids or lavish money on hobbies, but your other side wants to save up money for a rainy day. It is better to be safe than sorry.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes being selfish and self-centered about how you delegate your time is in your best interest. In the week ahead people may consider you a killjoy because you are focused on achievement rather than merriment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be great at business decisions, but personal extravagances can cancel out your gains. As this week unfolds you will find it is better for your bottom line to focus on making money rather than spending money.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sugar and spice and everything nice just won’t cut the mustard. Your casual assurances may be held up to scrutiny in the week ahead. You may go overboard with spending or be attracted to something ostentatious.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put your latest greatest plans on hold. You may have the best intentions and the shrewdest ideas but whatever you begin in the upcoming week might run into unexpected obstacles. Avoid making casual promises.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your naturally generous nature may be limited to spending time rather than money on others.

You may be happy to socialize and offer referrals but24 being thrifty with money may be a prime consideration this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Adversity doesn’t just test character, it reveals it. In the week ahead, you will need all the grit and determination you can muster to deal with a busy schedule. Use your street smarts to navigate tricky situations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Loved ones could make demands and expect you to obey commands. In the week ahead, you might find that someone’s heavy work load requires you to offer unquestioning support.

Your loyalty will be rewarded.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Work hard to reach your goals in the upcoming week.

Don’t be discouraged by minor setbacks.

Frivolous pastimes may lighten up the office environment, but the boss may express disapproval if time is wasted.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Breeze: This Recipe Is As Easy And Flexible As A Summer Day

By Wolfgang Puck TANDOORI-STYLE CHICKEN KEBABS WITH FRESH MANGO-GINGER CHUTNEY Serves 4 For the mango-ginger chutney: 3/4 teaspoon peanut oil 1/2 medium red onion, diced 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 jalapeno chile, fi nely chopped 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 strip lemon zest, 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide by 3 inches (7.5 cm) long 3/4 teaspoon dark brown sugar 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice Grated zest of 1/2 orange Juice of 1/2 orange For the chicken kebabs: 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) boneless skinless chicken pieces, white or dark meat or a combination 3/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds 3/4 teaspoon whole coriander seeds 1 cup (250 mL) nonfat plain yogurt 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon fi nely chopped scallion 1 1/2 teaspoons fi nely chopped fresh ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons fi nely chopped garlic 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 cup (60 mL) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves For the mango-ginger chutney, heat the peanut oil in a medium

saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion, and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, jalapeno, ginger, lemon zest and brown sugar. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has melted completely and begins to turn syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Carefully stir in the vinegar; cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the mango, orange zest and juice; cook, stirring frequently, until thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chutney to a stainless-steel or glass bowl, and leave it at room temperature until cooled.

Transfer the cooled chutney to a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, and pulse until coarsely pureed. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

For the chicken kebabs, place 8 bamboo or wooden skewers in a shallow dish; add cold water to cover, and leave to soak for about 1 hour; then drain well. (Alternatively, use metal skewers, skipping the soaking.)

Cut the chicken into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks, and thread them on the skewers. Arrange the skewers in a shallow, nonreactive dish.

In a small dry skillet, toast the cumin and coriander seeds over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, just until fragrant and slightly darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a heatproof dish to cool.

Put the cooled toasted seeds in a blender with the yogurt, honey, scallion, ginger, garlic, black pepper, salt and red pepper flakes.

Blend thoroughly. Add the cilantro leaves, and process until pureed and thoroughly blended. Pour this marinade over the skewers, turning them to coat the chicken evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate no longer than 2 hours.

To cook the kebabs, preheat a grill. Remove the kebabs from the marinade, shaking off excess; discard the marinade. Season the kebabs to taste with salt. Grill until the chicken is golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total.

Serve the kebabs on a platter or individual plates, passing the chutney alongside at the table. Reserve any extra chutney for another use.
