By Chris Lundy OCEAN GATE – Summer weather.

The beach. Friends and family. What better way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the town than to enjoy everything that made it so great all these years?

People filled the beach, pier, and nearby streets for Ocean Gate Day, an annual celebration. This year, it was a little more special, since it marked the 100th anniversary of the borough. It seceded from Berkeley Township in 1918, becoming its own municipality.

This point was driven home by a bus tour that circulated through the borough, pointing out key historical spots.

Much has changed since (100 Years - See Page 4)

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A new traffic light was recently turned on at the intersection of Frederick Drive and Route 9, and officials hope that it will make this deadly area safer for residents.

The light will provide safe passage for people leaving the homes on Frederick Drive and heading to the busy shopping center an-

chored by ShopRite. The light is designed to help people in vehicles as well as on foot.

This intersection has had three fatalities since 1999. It’s been the site of many other non-fatal crashes as well.

The traffic signal has a button pedestrians can push to turn opposing lights red so they can cross. This had been the (Traffic - See Page 4)

Central Regional Staff Member Treated For Legionnaires’

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A staff member at Central Regional Middle School is being treated for legionnaires’ disease, and school officials said they have taken precautions to make sure the school is ready for students to come in September.

The staff member, who was not named out of privacy, was recently diagnosed with the disease. However, it is unclear when and where they contracted it as the employee had been on vacation recently, Superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides said.

The bacteria needs standing water to grow,

he said. There was a leak that damaged two ceiling tiles, but it was cleaned up in a few hours, not long enough for the disease.

“We are doing all tests necessary to make sure the school is safe for all employees and students,” he said. “We are taking every precaution just to be sure.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, legionnaires’ disease is a severe form of pneumonia. It can’t be contracted through human contact. People get it from inhaling a specific bacteria. It can be treated with antibiotics, but left untreated it could be fatal. It is more dangerous to older adults, smokers, and

people with weakened immune systems.

Initial symptoms include headache, muscle pain, chills, and a fever more than 104 degrees. As the disease progresses, the patient may experience shortness of breath, chest pain, a cough which may produce mucus or even blood, gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), confusion or other mental changes. The Mayo Clinic web site also described a milder form of legionnaires’ called Pontiac fever. This leads to fever, chills, headache and muscle ache. It doesn’t affect the lungs, and symptoms usually clear up within two

to five days.

Legionella pneumophila bacteria, which is the culprit behind most cases of legionnaires’ disease, survives in soil and water in nature but rarely causes people to be sick upon contact outdoors. Rather, it multiplies in any water systems, including home ones.

Most outbreaks are associated with water systems in large buildings, including hotels, cruise ships and grocery store mists in the produce section.

The disease can be prevented by the cleaning and disinfection of water systems, pools and spas, and avoiding smoking.

100 Years:

said some things never change.

“It’s like all my family and friends grew up down here and they all retired down here,” he said.

The only big change in the borough was when Superstorm Sandy blew through, he said. So many people had to rebuild.

The borough still brings new people in, though.

Wayne Moya just moved to Ocean Gate in May. He was competing in the Cardboard Boat Race, a locally famous annual event.

His boat was called “Paddle N Go.” He said he was surprised when he heard about the race, but intrigued. He then learned about how to make a cardboard boat from YouTube videos.

The Wildwood Avenue Pier was full of

people watching the race, and cheering on the racers as they paddled by.

Most of the action of Ocean Gate Day was focused around the pier and beach, near the splash pad. There were food vendors selling a variety of easy-to-carry fair food like cheesesteaks and wraps. Rows of tents housed people selling items or offering crafts to kids. While some vendors sold jewelry, art, or toys, there were also some that sold beach stuff and convenience items, given that, even today, some residents are just here for the summer season.

“I’m pleased that this light has finally come to fruition,” Mayor Carmen Amato said in a statement. “It was desperately needed in that location for a number of reasons. The main reason being pedestrian safety.”

He also stated that the owners of the Berkeley Plaza may eventually realign the entrance to their plaza in reference to this light. He urged drivers to be patient as the state Department of Transportation finalizes the timing of the light.

Berkeley officials have been calling for a traffic signal at that intersection for years.

However, since Route 9 is a state highway, they had to wait for the DOT to approve it.

The township had been required to put aside 25 percent of the cost of the light years ago.

Amato thanked officials at the DOT for responding to the need in the area.

Open Space:

Avenue (Block 1689.03, Lot 24), is a .07acre lot.

“As Freeholder Bartlett is so fond of saying, this is the best deal because it is a donation to our program,” Little said.

This lot is part of what the county calls the Roberts Avenue preservation area in the South Seaside Park section of Berkeley, just north of Island Beach State Park.

The county acquired the Roberts Avenue tract back in 1999. This one lot was retained by the owner, probably to have built a house upon, but the owner now decided to donate the property.

The Natural Lands Trust program is dedicated to protecting open space in Ocean County. The fund was approved by Ocean County voters in 1997, and established a 1.2-cent tax to fund land acquisitions.

The program generates about $8 million per year.

A nine-member advisory committee, established in 1998, nominates properties for the Freeholders to consider.

Freeholder director Gerry Little has said that in a county that’s 408,000 acres, about 60 percent of it is permanently protected against development through Pinelands, state parks and 21,000 acres preserved through the natural lands and farmlands programs.

Continued From Page 1 4) on Toms River Road in Jackson, is $32,000, plus up to $665 for property tax adjustments.

Freeholder Director Gerry Little, filling in for Freeholder John Bartlett, who was absent and usually handles discussions on open land purchases, said this particular lot is wooded and vacant. Located in the Pinelands, the lot is along the Ridgeway branch of the Toms River, a category one water stream that requires preservation.

This property is also considered a priority area for preservation for the Pinelands Commission and U.S. Department of Defense, Little said. It’s in the flight path for Joint Base Maguire-Dix-Lakehurst.

“They have encouraged us to do everything we can to preserve this area as a buffer to the base,” Little said.

This parcel is eligible for 50 percent cost sharing through the federal government.

The second lot in Jackson is located near Ogden Lane (Block 18905, Lot 1). The county plans to purchase the 5.63-acre lot for $33,000, plus up to $150 for property tax adjustments.

T h is is a heavily wooded pa rcel, also located in the Pinelands, Little said. It too is along the Ridgway branch of the Toms River, a priority area for state and federal agencies as already mentioned, is in the flight path for J BMDL, and likely contains endangered species, although what specific species was not clear.

MacArthur Urges FEMA Assistance for Brick Dear Administrator Long,

From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur BRICK – Congressman Tom MacAr thur (R-3 rd ) urged FEMA Administrator Brock Long to deploy every available resource to assist the recovery efforts in the Township of Brick, New Jersey.

On Monday, Aug. 13, 2018, f looding destroyed over 100 homes in a senior community.

“The seniors who were blindsided by this f lood on Monday are hur ting and they need our help.

While the damage is being assessed, I want to ensure that FEMA is do-

ing everything possible,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “Additional staff, rental assistance, and clean-up resources are critically important right now, not just in Br ick, but in several areas across the State of New Jersey.

In Brick particularly, the fact that most of the vict i m s of t h is stor m a re seniors, makes the need for assistance that much more dire.”

Below is the letter to Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long:

As you are aware, a severe rain storm struck New Jersey on Aug. 13, 2018. I am urging you to deploy all available federal resources to respond to this devastating storm to ensure a full recovery as quickly as possible.

The National Weather Service reported that nearly 8 inches of rain fell in the Township of Brick on Monday, which is what the area experiences over two months, in less than three hours. Over 100 residents were forced to evacuate and New Jersey declared a state of emergency in five counties, including Ocean County, which I represent.

This is particularly harmful because this community is largely populated by senior citizens on fixed

incomes, creating unique challenges for these residents to relocate. Since this community is outside of the flood zone, residents are not required to purchase flood insurance, leaving many of these seniors without any

financial support. While the immediate response by state and local emergency responders was professional and strong, the scope of this storm has created a significant burden on a community that is not accustomed to

To put it simply, our community needs federal assistance immediately and I look forward to discussing this with you directly in the very near future.

FRACTURED EYE SOCKETS

The “eye socket,” the bony cup surrounding the eye, contains the eye, the muscles that move it, tear glands, cranial nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, and other nerves. Not only can a strong blow to the eye fracture any (or all) of the seven bones that compose the eye socket, but an estimated 28 percent of people with eye socket fractures also have injuries that affect vision. Parents and coaches of children and teenagers, therefore, should stress the importance of wearing protective eyewear. Without it, young athletes and active children are susceptible to eye-socket fractures and related eyelid swelling/drooping, bleeding in the white of the eye, double vision, blurred vision, difficulty seeing, light sensitivity, and a sunken or bulging eye.

If you suffer a blow to your eye, apply cold packs to the injured area for at least 15 minutes to help reduce pain, swelling and discoloration. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of symptoms of an eye socket fracture. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

Friends For Life This column is dedicated to those who volunteer, helping their communities in many ways. In particular it is dedicated to the former members of the Holiday City at Berkeley First Aid Squad, without whom there would be no free EMS. Thank you. Some of them pop into the squad to say “Hi.” We are pleased to see them. Most, we don’t get to see unless they come to a function. If you are a former member, or know one, please let the Squad know if you move, are sick, getting better or if you need a ride to one of the annual Squad functions.

For a little over a year I have volunteered to call the retired members of the HCBEMS squad. I extend an invitation to them for our annual Memorial, which is the third Sunday in May. Also to the squad Christmas Party in December and picnic in July.

They are always happy to hear from me and to know that their squad hasn’t forgot them.

We haven’t forgotten them.

They are the reason we have a volunteer EMS squad in the first place. Many of them are gone. Some live out of state with children or in nursing homes. Some of them still live in our community. Some can’t come to the functions because they are no longer able to get around by themselves. One retiree is 93 and “will try to get to the picnic if possible.”

We were looking forward to see her. Some retirees have new phone numbers, which we didn’t have. They are important, so this year, I went to the addresses and found some of them. Guess what? Some of them made it to the picnic and they wouldn’t have known about it. We were so happy to see them.

They were all glad to hear from us and they all said they enjoyed their time on the squad – the work and the people. Come work with us.

You would too. Many of them have lost touch, and asked about old friends who worked with them. Sometimes I could give them information. Other times, I didn’t have any. Some

even came to the picnic. I hope they all had a good time.

I enjoyed hearing the retired members talk about how it was when they were on the squad. I was sorry to have to tell them that is so hard to get volunteers to serve today, that we have had to cut back our hours. Some of them were on the squad when it served the community 24/7. Even when I joined the squad, almost 7 years ago, we still worked 7 days a week but only a 12-hour day shift. We did not have enough people for a day shift and a night shift.

Next year it would be nice to tell them, we have more volunteers.

Won’t you consider volunteering for a while? HCBEMS works from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Your shift would only be 1 day a week. You get education, CPR certified, a uniform, and a lot of time on an ambulance, comradeship of other volunteers and the gratitude of your neighbors as well as the rest of the squad. You want some action - join HCBFAS at 100 Port Royal Drive. We are one of the busiest squads.

We’d love to show around and tell you what you can do. We have interesting calls, real emergencies and even some funny calls. Come down and ask about working with us.

You “want to see the world join the Navy.”

We learn like kids, work like dogs, get stroked like cats, eat like the fire department and laugh like it’s on sale and we need you.

All the volunteer squads need more volunteers. We cover an area that includes 1,765 homes. In a 5-day workweek, from January 1 until July 1, we have responded to over 1,000 9-1-1 calls. HC Berkeley has 3,236. HC Carefree has 1,612 homes. HC South has 2,359 homes. HC West has 1,812 homes. Silver Ridge Park East & West has 1,746.

You would think we could get more than 38 volunteers.

Stay Well! Volunteer if you can.

Church’s Child Abuse Is Business As Usual On Aug. 16, the Press published (again), another clergy sexual child abuse story. Should anyone be shocked or surprised?

“Child abuse” is really a pathetic euphemism for what has been going on in the Roman Catholic Church for decades, and still is! We’re talking about the systematic rape and molesting of thousands of children by Catholic priests, and the churches’ complicity in covering up and protecting the child-rapists among us.

Just this month alone, a Pennsylvania grand jury report asserted that church leaders protected hu ndreds of accused priests at the expense of more than 1,000 abuse victims. The Archdiocese of Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Spokane, San Diego, to name just a few, all have paid out millions of dollars to victims of its own church.

What has been taking pla ce i n t he chu rch is not an aber ration or an anomaly, or the result of a few rogue priests as some church apologists contend.

The truth is, it has been “open-season” on children in the Catholic church for centuries.

As for pedophile priests and the Catholic Church that covers up and protect them, I humbly apologize for my inability to pay them both the proper disrespect they deserve!

Trump Has Proven Why He Should Be Impeached Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution calls for i mpeach ment for t reason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors by the president, the vice

president and all civil officials of the United States.

Observing the officials of this Executive Branch from top down sent me scurrying to my Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary looking up the word “treason.”

The entry on “treason” is long so I’ll “trim and select” various elements, and occasionally insert an accusation or comment (in parentheses).

“Treason” is the offense of acting to over th row one’s government (FBI, D OJ,C I A , NSA , H L S , EPA, HUD, DOE, etc). It’s a violation of allegiance to one’s sovereign (in this case the Constitution of the United States) or to one’s state (the USA). It’s the crime of giving aid or comfor t to the enemies (Putin’s Russia) of one’s government.

My d ict ion a r y l i n k s “treason” and “sedition” in a nuanced manner. Both mean disloyalty or treachery toward one’s country or its government.

“Sedition” is any act (disbelieving and demeani ng A mer ica n secu r it y experts), writing (tell-all tweets to friends and foes), speech (accepting the word of Vladimir Putin while rejecting all evidence, and condemning the American press) directed unlawfully against state authorit y, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection (every speech at ever y Tr ump rally). “Sedit ion” does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense.

Question 1: Do not both sedition and treason qualif y as high cr imes and misdemeanors?

Question 2: How can an entire political party (Tr ump’s loyalists and/ or Stormtroopers) be impeached for the crimes of sedition and treason?

Suggestions please!

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Freeholders John Kelly and Gerry Little recently honored the members of Ocean County Chiefs of Police Law Enforcement Explorer Post No. 1.

All the Freeholders were joined by Ocean County Sheriff Mike Mastronardy and Christine Farrell, an officer with the sheriff’s department who has run the Explorer program for almost three years.

The program, open to students ages 1420 (applicants must have graduated eighth grade to join), gives students an opportunity to explore careers in law enforcement, in towns that don’t necessarily have their own Explorers post.

The Post has 20 members, although only six were on hand to be recognized.

The students are mentored by law enforcement officers, and not only complete community service projects, but compete in regional and national law enforcement competitions.

“They learn everything that we learn,” Farrell said of the Post’s members. “Firearms, how to do motor vehicle stops, burglary in progress. We also do community service projects. We give back to our towns and our communities.”

Explorer Post No. 1 walked away with numerous awards this past competition

season: • First Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, drill team • First Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, burglary-in-progress response • First Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, motor vehicle stops • First Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, arrest, search and seizure response • Second Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, motor vehicle stops • Second Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, domestic violence response • Second Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, female physical fitness • Back to Back Top Overall Post, 2018 Stockton State Law Enforcement Exploring Competition • Third Place, 2018 National Law Enforcement Exploring Competition, Exploring USA Community Service Winners for community service initiative, TECH talk They competed nationally in Indiana this past July, and won third place over thousands of other Explorer Posts for their community project.

Bayville First Aid Squad In Need Of Volunteers

BAYVILLE – As much as the township has changed since the Great Depression, one thing hasn’t – first aid squad is still staffed by resident volunteers.

The Bayville First Aid Squad., which is all-volunteer, dates back to 1954. They cover the all of Berkeley Township minus Holiday City, Silver Ridge Park, Holiday Heights, Manitou Park but are mutual aid to Ocean Gate, Pine Beach, Beachwood and Lacey township.

“We’ve been trying to get the word out to the public that we need more volunteers especially during the day shift (6 am to 6 pm),” said Pat Sperber, President of the Bayville First Aid Squad.

The volunteer service does not charge for their service and only survives by donations and squad supported fundraiser.

As for the month of July, we responded to 138 calls for medical emergencies from the citizens of Berkeley Township as well neighboring town’s residents. The squad

personally responded to 119 of these calls and using our mutual aid agreements, 19 were responded by other first aid squad.

Some of the calls which we answered included: 19 individual called due to General Weak ness; 8 calls were for patients who fell; 8 patients had respiratory problems; 13 patients were either unconscious or semi-conscious; 7 calls due to patient in motor vehicle accident requiring medical treatment; 11 patients that had cardiac emergencies. The balance of our calls 53 patient was either treated on scene or required transportation to the local hospital.

In other notes, if you would like to have a squad member address your group or visit your school or organization, please let us know and we will be happy to have one of our members provide a short overview of the squad. This can be accomplished with a quick email to bayvillefirstaidsquad@ outlook.com, Subject: Guest Speaker.

Resolve To Hear Better: 12 Things You Don’t Want To Miss

Keeping better-hearing resolutions is easier with lighthearted encouragement, so we’re offering some whimsy on your road to stronger connections.

Sweet Nothings: You spouse whispering “Sleep well, Honey” before bed, just like they have for years.

Compliments: Hearing just how delicious your home cooking is or how festive your house looks this season “I Do.”: You, your child, or your grandchild beginning a life together with that special someone.

Firsts: A toddler saying their first words – or, better yet, that first time a child or grandchild says, “I love you.”

Reading Aloud: A child thrilling to all your imagination, expressions, enthusiasm, and silly accents.

Important Information: Signals such as

“You dropped this, “Your Plane is now boarding,” or “STOP!” Music: Children’s recitals, the nuances in your favorite Beethoven symphony, a beloved album on those amazing new speakers.

Jokes: Inside jokes, punch lines, the giggles of your family members (caused, or course, by your very clever quip).

White Noise: The subtle crunch of snow under your feet, the rain on your bedroom window, or the light pencil taps of your spouse deep in thought.

Pet Sounds: Your cat purring, your dog panting her appreciation after a long walk, your horse clip-clopping to the barn at the sound of feed being poured.

Kick-start a better-hearing journey – yours or a loved one’s – this year with a complimentary hearing consultation!

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!

Partnership for a Drug-Free NJ Seeks Volunteers For Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day Initiative

MILLBURN — The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey is looking for volunteers throughout the state to help spread awareness of the dangers of prescription opioids and actions that can be taken to protect families and communities from addiction as part of the third annual Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day on Saturday, Oct. 6.

In 2016 — the most recent year with complete data — more than 42,000 people in the United States and 2,000 people in New Jersey lost their lives from an opioid overdose. The final death total for 2017 is expected to be even higher, and New Jersey is on pace to have more than 3,000 drug overdose deaths in 2018.

Through this statewide single-day initiative, volunteers will spread the message about the potential for dependency on prescribed pain medicine and its link to heroin use rates in our state. The effort will involve a two-pronged approach: informing prescribers and raising awareness among New Jersey residents and families.

More than 5,000 volunteers participated in last year’s Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day, distributing crucial information on safe prescribing practices to healthcare providers, as well door hangers with information on the link between prescribed pain

medications and heroin abuse throughout communities.

Each county will have volunteer coordinators who can help interested volunteers obtain materials and help them plan their outreach. Volunteers will be asked to devote the amount of time they can give, whether it’s a few hours delivering door hanger tags to homes in their community or 20 minutes during their lunch break distributing materials in their office. Anyone can volunteer: school clubs, scouts, religious groups, businesses. Coordinators for each county can provide more information on how to get involved.

Residents interested in volunteering can sign up at drugfreenj.org/knockoutvolunteers. The website also includes a toolkit, which provides electronic methods for spreading the message of Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day. Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day is a project of the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey, in cooperation with the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse; the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Addiction Services; and the Community Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Morris, with help from thousands of volunteers across the state.

Unique Ways To Reduce Dangerous Homocysteine

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Most of you understand that homocysteine is a toxin that, when elevated, increases your risk for heart attack and stroke. This is well-documented, but what is shocking is how dangerous a neurotoxin this compound is! It has been implicated as a contributing factor in neurological and psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder, aggression, schizophrenia, bipolar, psychosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

The other shocking surprise is that homocysteine can increase in your blood stream if you have mild kidney disease. Your first clue to this might be unexplained itching, or mild swelling in your feet after a shower or prolonged sitting.

Excessive homocysteine can destroy your life and cause you to get diagnosed with multiple conditions that require expensive medications! If you’d like the extended article I’ve written, I’ll send it via email if you sign up for my free newsletter. Now, here are some ways to reduce homocysteine: Minimize Meat: Methionine is the primary building block for homocysteine, so one quick way to reduce the formation of homocysteine, is to cut back on red meat which is high in methionine. Just think of it as “meat-thionine” and reduce intake for a few weeks.

B Complex Vitamins: These include B6, B12 and B9 (methyl folate). This is what’s needed to break down homocysteine. It works for some people, but it triggers other people causing them to over-methylate. It’s not my favorite approach because it’s very hard to find the perfect ratios of each B vitamin (which is

different for everyone). I prefer throwing a “wet blanket” on top of the fire so continue reading.

Bifidobacterium: Intestinal flora that has healthy amounts of Bifidobacterium longum can help reduce homocysteine. It works because the probiotic goes on to produce folate in the gut, and folate is needed to break down the homocysteine.

Prunes: In last year’s issue of Food and Chemical Toxicology, researchers noted that homocysteine responded to antioxidant compounds found in prune extract. Granted, this was not a human study, but still the prune extract was given by injection and it significantly decreased homocysteine levels. We can joke about it all day long, but you need to know that the prunes have a beneficial effect on homocysteine.

Pomegranate Powder: Brand new research in Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy was published in June 2018 and showed how “punicalagin” from pomegranates can protect neuronal DNA in the brain of rodents with high homocysteine. Drinking pomegranate juice might help humans, it’s certainly not going to hurt. Even better, you can buy a concentrated pomegranate powder in a bag, and just mix some in water each day.

Catalase: High homocysteine is associated with a reduction in catalase enzyme activity all over the body. So if your homocysteine is high, your peroxide is too. Catalase is the liver enzyme humans make and it’s required to break down peroxide and turn it into water and oxygen. There are supplements of Catalase available online.

“They put a lot of research into it. As we all know, Ocean County has a very heavily populated senior citizen community and we felt the best way to give back to our community was by using their tech skills (pointing to Post members), because they’re constantly on their phones and computers, and put it to good use,” Farrell said.

Post members come from Ocean, Lacey, Barnegat and Jackson townships. The program is funded by the sheriff’s foundation,

and not through tax dollars.

“Our Explorers are not only exploring those opportunities [in law enforcement], but they are award-winning Explorers,” Kelly said. “We are so proud of everything [they’ve] accomplished.”

The Explorers include: Chris Ambrosio, Damian Morrone, Casey Iorio, Chris Beals, Sierra Baker, and Daniel Rosengarth, who were all honored by the Freeholders; and Aristotle Matarazza, Tyler Lehr, Sarah Fedak, Christopher Triano, Juan Alicia, Elizabeth Richardson, Eric Luna, Gina Matteo, Kevin Carhart, Nicholas Terzo, Nicholas Zibakowski, Quinn Baumgarten, Ryan Cassan and Timothy Swain.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

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

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. 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 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.

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.

ATLANTIC CITY – The people of the South Jersey area spoke and we listened!

In 2018, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival is returning to its home on Bader Field where the acres of uninhabited, water front land will once again be transformed into a seafood lover’s dream!

With the famous Atlantic City skyline as its backdrop, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival will feature over 40 different local and regional seafood restaurants and vendors who will be serving up their favorite seafaring dishes.

With the majority of the restaurants attending being brick and mortar Atlantic City restaurants, The Atlantic City Seafood festival will continue to give attendees the opportunity to experience this seaside city as a culinary destination. It is also a great opportunity for foodies and food seekers to meet some of Atlantic City’s most unique chefs and restaurateurs all while eating their

The Atlantic City Seafood Festival tasty creations. From clams to calamari, oysters to ahi, and even alligator too, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival has it all!

The goal of the Festival producers is to give event attendees a reason to spend the day in Atlantic City by highlighting the fantastic dining options this coastal town has to offer. Whether it’s trying the vast selection of local restaurants, sipping Jersey made craft beers and wines, cooking with local chefs, shopping unique vendors, playing in the sand, feeding butterflies, you will find yourself immersed in The Atlantic City Seafood Festival and all that it has to offer.

The Atlantic City Seafood Festival happens to fall every year during National Hunger Action Month, a nationwide Feeding America campaign that challenges the public to take action to help solve the issue of hunger in America!

In honor of National Hunger Action Month, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival will once

again support the Community Food Bank of New Jersey by donating a portion of the proceeds to this important organization as well back by popular demand, is the 2018 Chowder Cook-Off! This cook-off will allow participants to sample chowder from some of the finest restaurants Atlantic City has to offer as they stroll the festival and decide what they are going to feast on!

In 2017, through the Chowder Cook-Off, the Festival and restaurants, we were able to raise close to $16,000 which is the equivalent of $160,000 in food distributed throughout the Garden State! This year we plan on increasing that donation with the support of our participating restaurants and festival attendees, one cup of chowder at a time!

Returning to the Seafood Festival is the 3rdAnnual Pet Costume Contest benefiting the Humane Society of Atlantic County and their loveable residents! Festival goers are

encouraged to dress their pets in their Sunday’s Best and show-off their four-legged friends! The contest will take place on September 9 and will begin promptly at 3 p.m.

Pets will be judged on the following categories: Most Original, Best Sea Creature Theme, People’s Choice, Owner/Pet lookalike. To enter the Pet Costume Contest, sign-up at the Humane Society Booth for a $5 minimum donation. All proceeds will benefit The Humane Society of Atlantic County.

Programming for the Atlantic City Seafood Festival includes: children’s activities and amusements, live Sand Sculpting/Kids Sand Sculpting Area, Butterfly Garden, Live Music, Complimentary Cooking Demos and Wine Seminars, The Great Brews of NJ Tasting Tent, a Crab Cake Eating Competition and the Chowder Cook-Off benefiting the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, just to name a few.

Teen Hit By Car Has A Long Road Ahead To Recovery

By Jason Allentoff POINT PLEASANT BOROUGH – It’s been 12 days of intensive care and medical treatments for a 14-year-old girl who was hit by a speeding car in Point Pleasant while she was out riding a bicycle with her friends. Although Emma-Mae is making progress, she has a long road ahead for recovery.

Stephanie Gnolfo, Emma-Mae’s mother, tells Jersey Shore Online that her daughter has been transferred to another hospital which specializes in brain traumas. She had been at Jersey Shore University Medical Center ever since the August 9th accident on Route 88 but was transferred to a new medical center over the weekend.

Gnolfo said “Emma-Mae is having severe migraines due to the concussion as well as the bleed on the brain and fractured skull. But she is the strongest kid I know and one hell of a fighter.”

A GoFundMe page started by Kristen Cutrona of Toms River has raised a total of $25,876 so far. The goal was originally set at $10,000 but due to the additional medical expenses for the extensive treatments, it is now set at $50,000.

The Point Pleasant Chamber of Commerce has announced they will have a special fundraiser for Emma-Mae on August 25th during the Point Pleasant Give Back Day. Gnolfo adds “I am forever grateful for all of the well wishes and prayers. It means so much to us.”

Emma and two friends were riding their bicycles at 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 9th when they attempted to cross Route 88 at Sunset Avenue. They looked all ways, and believing it was clear, the two friends started to cross.

However, Emma was hit by what was described as a dark sedan.

Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Al Della Fave said “the teen was thrown onto the windshield over the hood, where she was carried on the car for a time before being thrown off.”

Della Fave adds “the vehicle’s driver callously continued driving after the impact, carrying the victim on the vehicle hood for a distance before she was thrown free of the vehicle.”

26-year-old Brittany Keifer was arrested later that night on charges of assault by auto and leaving the scene of an accident that caused serious bodily injury. Officers found her car,

–Photo courtesy Stephanie Gnolfo which suffered extensive front end damage, hidden under a tarp outside of her home. Due to changes in bail reform laws, Keifer was released on a summons. This didn’t sit well with many on Facebook who voiced their displeasure with her release.

According to sources Jersey Shore Online cannot disclose, Keifer has a lawyer working on her case and all attempts to reach out for a comment have turned up dry.

Emma, an accomplished cheerleader, is supposed to start Point Pleasant Boro High School as a freshman this September. Her mother says “Emma’s ultimate goal is to get better and get out of the hospital. She hopes to start her journey of high school and hopes to be able to cheer again. For now, we need to concentrate on getting her better so we can try and make those things possible.”

Emma’s mother, who is a single mom, said “that phone call is the worst call any parent can ever get. Today, for the first time, I was able to finally bring myself to look at the GoFundMe page. I am just so overwhelmed by the love and support we have had. Also, how the community has come together tremendously to help a little girl that they didn’t even know. It just fills my heart knowing how loved Emma is and it means so much to us. There are no words for me to even come close to expressing my gratitude.”

Local Nonprofit Awards $150,000 To Serve Our Aging Population

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Community Foundation of South Jersey (CFSJ) has awarded $150,000 from its Aging Innovation Fund (AIF) to three New Jersey organizations in order to address the needs of the aging population in South Jersey.

CFSJ awarded three $50,000 grants to each of the following: Ocean SMART in Ocean County, AtlantiCare Internal Medicine Physician Resident Outreach to Atlantic City Housing Authority for Seniors in Atlantic City, and Project MEMORY L.A.N.E. in Camden.

With the steadily growing senior population in NJ, the Population Reference Bureau, noted that the shrinking ratio of working adults to elderly residents a big concern for policymakers.

Ocean SMART plans to use the funds for Senior Mobility and Resource Training.

This training will make improvements to senior mobility while combatting social isolation among non-drivers.

AtlantiCare Internal Medicine Physician Resident Outreach to Atlantic City Housing Authority for Seniors plans to use the funds to bring the delivery of care outside of the AtlantiCare Clinic by sending internal medicine residents to provide outreach and wellness to patients in high rise complexes.

Project MEMORY L.A.N.E. stands for Living with Alzheimers’ in a Nurturing Environment. This organization will use the funds to expand services for residents living in affordable housing that require their services.

“Our Aging Innovation Fund at CFSJ allows us to continue the work Cascade was originally set up to do,” said Don Ambrose, CEO of Cascade’s parent company Del Mar

Healthcare. “We are now in our third year, and we’re very excited that South Jersey has eagerly embraced the opportunity to innovate and lead in this field.”

According to CFSJ Executive Director Andy Fraizer, senior residents of South Jersey are an asset to local places, making important contributions.

“Our partnership with Cascade allows CFSJ to create a better public understanding of aging-related opportunities and challenges for seniors and South Jersey communities,” said Fraizer.

Community Foundation of South Jersey is a non-profit organization that manages charitable giving funds for individuals, families, companies and communities.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 25 - aug 31

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Inspiring ideas will fill up your tanks. You can’t make headway if you are running on empty. In the upcoming week you may be more comfortable working behind the scenes. You may receive a whiff of true love.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might enjoy the center of attention, even if it is only within the confines of your home. If you have developed good habits you can let your daily business routines run on autopilot in the week ahead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be the bandleader who directs your own life. Don’t let the passing whims of the world around you dictate how you spend your time this week. Use your charm and sincerity to impress people who wield the most influence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can improve your reputation and career standing this week by starting new projects and aligning yourself with key people. When you notice money-making opportunities, you must strike while the iron is hot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the week ahead, you may question whether your actions are bringing you the happiness you deserve. You may become more competitive at the workplace or more willing to tackle physically challenging projects.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Go the distance.

Some of life’s challenges require a mere sprint but you will really showcase your talents if you follow through on a long-term project. In the week ahead your most thoughtful words will receive attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week to

come you may form ties and alliances that are mutually beneficial. Your lack of adventurousness may seem dull and unexciting to some, but they know they can count on you when the chips are down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your insights may be valuable especially where money is concerned. You may receive some type of secret knowledge that you can parlay into personal profit.

Love can become a priority in the week ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Strive to start something meaningful for future success. You may consider making a change on impulse in the week ahead but will be happier with something that you have deliberated upon and prepared for.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Past experiences should refine you not define you.

In the week ahead, you may find ways to become more efficient so that you can meet the demands of daily life head-on. Experiment with the latest technology.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Improve your financial standing while the going is good. Take steps to build an emergency fund, improve your job skills or widen your networks in the week ahead. Tact and kindness will produce the best results.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your aura of inner peace is soothing and attractive to others. You can buy new clothing that will enhance your appearance. Friends or co-workers might be erratic or eccentric and try your patience in the upcoming week.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Back-To-School Blondies Put A Sweet Spin On The End Of Summer Vacation

By Wolfgang Puck

As the father of four sons - two grown and graduated from university, two more still in school - I know that right around now children may be deep in the doldrums. Depending on where in the country you live, summer vacation is drawing to a close or school has already started.

Either way, desperate measures are necessary to help those children who are still at home feel active, interested and happy, or to help cheer up those who have already returned to the classroom. Baking sweet treats has always done the trick for me, going back all the way to those days when I was an unhappy schoolboy in Austria dreading the end of my own summer break.

That is why I’d like to share a recipe for a delicious baked confection everyone will enjoy: blondies with walnuts and chocolate chips. I first encountered these popular American bar cookies - along with brownies, their even better-known chocolate-flavored cousins - after I came to America back in 1973, and I fell in love with them immediately. Like rich, dense, slightly chewy little pieces of cake you can pick up and eat from your hand, they have always seemed to me even more fun, indulgent and satisfying than cookies - and I love cookies!

Not only that, but blondies are easy to make. In fact, they’re even easier than most brownie recipes, since there’s no need to melt chocolate first. Mixed with a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer, the batter comes together in just minutes. After 45 minutes or so of baking, and maybe another half hour to an hour of cooling before you cut them into squares, you have a treat that will bring joy to children and parents alike.

Under parental supervision, kids can join in the fun of preparing the blondies. If you like, let them come up with different variations from the walnuts and chocolate chips in the following recipe. I’ve seen blondies that contain other kinds of nuts, white chocolate or butterscotch chips, chopped pieces of toffee or other candy, raisins or chopped dried fruit of other kinds, miniature marshmallows, and even broken pieces of salted pretzel.

The fun doesn’t have to end there, either.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy blondies is to make them the base for sundaes. Place a square in a shallow serving bowl, and top it with a scoop of whatever ice cream you like.

Then a drizzle of your favorite sweet sauce, a dollop of whipped cream and some sprinkles top it off. Set up a blondie sundae bar, and the children may - at least for a moment - be so distracted they’ll forget that summer’s almost over or school’s already back in session.

BLON DIES W ITH WA LNUTS A N D CHOCOLATE CHIPS Makes 9 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour, plus

extra for dusting 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 ounces (185 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature 1 cup (250 mL) packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2/3 cup (165 mL) coarsely chopped walnuts 2/3 cup (165 mL) semisweet chocolate chips Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting, optional Position the oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Evenly coat the inside of an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; then, with a spoon, sprinkle some flour over the bottom and sides of the pan to coat it evenly, tapping out the excess. Set the pan aside.

In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Put the butter and brown sugar in the large bowl of an electric stand mixer, or in a large mixing bowl if using a hand-held electric mixer. Beat at low speed until the sugar is incorporated; then, raise the speed to high and continue beating until fluffy, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beaters with a rubber spatula.

Reduce the speed to medium and, one at a time, add the eggs.

Beat in the sour cream and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. Add the walnuts and chocolate chips, beating at low speed just until mixed in evenly.

With the spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan and level its surface. Bake in the preheated oven until the top feels firm to a quick touch and a long wooden toothpick or cake tester gently inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool.

Line another rack with aluminum foil.

When the blondies are completely cool, run a sharp knife around the inside edges of the pan. Invert the foil-lined rack over the pan and then, holding the pan and rack together, quickly but carefully invert and lift off the pan to unmold the blondies.

To leave the blondies right-side up, place a large, flat platter or plate over the blondies and flip the foiled rack. Then remove the foil.

With the knife, carefully trim away the hard outside edges of the blondies; then, cut into nine equal square pieces, each about 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm). If not serving immediately, store in an airtight container at a cool room temperature.

If you like, decorate the blondies with a light dusting of confectioners’ sugar before serving. Hold a small wire-meshed sieve over them, spoon a little confectioners’ sugar into the sieve and tap the side of the sieve while moving it over the blondies.
