Great Adventure Approved To Clear-Cut Forest For Solar Panels
By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Great Adventure won what may be a short-lived victory. After hearing nearly a combined day and a half of testimony, the Jackson Township Planning Board approved Great Adventure’s application to clear 70 acres of forest near Reed Road to make way for solar arrays. The decision was criticized by both environmental groups and residents who presented testimony against the plan. But
Board President Robert Hudak defended the Board’s decision, telling The Jackson Times “the applicant has sworn under oath that they will conform to all State, Federal, and local laws and agencies. These agencies will make periodic inspections of the site to ensure compliancy.” “GA has always been a good neighbor and Jackson citizen. They have proved time and again that they are responsible stewards
of the environment. We believe they will continue to do so,” Hudak said. However, attorney Michele Donato, representing environmental groups against the plan, disagreed. “It is unfortunate that the Plan n i ng Board chose to ignore significant proof regarding satisfaction of the conditional use criteria, the stormwater ordinance, the environmental impact ordinance,

Township Introduces $41.8M Budget By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Residents will see a slight increase in their municipal property taxes in 2016. Business Administrator Helene Schlegel walked Council and audience members through the preparation, goals, and numbers of the upcoming municipal budget, all $41.8 million of it. Based on the average home assessment of $325,748, residents will see a tax increase of $27.69 this year. Schlegel broke it down even further, with the monthly increase about the cost of a 24 oz. Wawa coffee and the per-week increase amounting to two large gumballs from the gumball machine. More than half of residents’ total property tax bill goes toward schools, something Schlegel said the municipal government has no control over. The average homeowner in Jackson will see an increase of $71 in the schools portion of their bill. Municipal taxes account for 21 percent of the total tax bill, and the remainder is split among county, state, and open space taxes. She credited the township’s commitment to finding savings and streamlining services with keeping the increase’s impact on residents to a minimum without compromising or diminishing service. Almost 90 percent of the property tax

except that a pet store in Jackson cannot sell their animals. “W hat it means to the consumers in the area is that there won’t be any bad business anymore. Our importing of puppies from what we know to be mass, commercial breeding facilities, are usually inhumane,” Janice Fisher of Friends of Animals United N.J., said. “This will help the shelters and rescue organizations to help place well-deserving, beautiful animals into new homes. Jackson Township was wonderful to work with.” Barrington, herself the owner of three dogs, reached out to the township administration to make these changes. Jackson is one of 35 municipalities in New Jersey, she said, to ban the sale of puppy mill animals through a store in town. Donna Kenevich of Pitties and Pals Rescue, said: “We thrilled that it’s passed,
because there are so many dogs now in the shelters. We’re happy that the pet stores aren’t going to be selling dogs and 8 months later they end up in the shelters again. This just gives us a chance to focus on the ones being surrendered and getting them out. It’s really great for us.” She wants to work toward more existing stores relying on shelter animals. Locally, the Monmouth County SPCA operates a store in Freehold Raceway Mall, where rescue dogs and cats are available for adoption. “I think it’s a pretty easy thing to vote on,” Council President Robert Nixon said after the meeting. “When it comes to animals, cats and dogs, we have an obligation to be their caretakers. When we see a situation where animals are being raised in inhumane conditions and treated badly for the purpose of trying to roll them over quickly so they can then be sold for profit, that’s something municipal government has an obligation to stand up and say, ‘that’s wrong.’”
Pet Watch New Jersey ( pwnj.org) states that most puppy mills are located in the Midwest and Amish and Men nonite strongholds in Lancaster County, Penn., Ohio, Wisconsin, and the Finger Lakes district in New York State. The puppies are usually inbred and prone to genetic defects. According to Pet Watch: “Puppy mills typically are large-scale dog breeding facilities that mass-produce purebred and mixed-breed puppies for resale to brokers. These brokers, in turn, sell directly to pet shops where emphasis on financial profit is placed above the dogs’ health and well-being. Puppy mills are also referred to as puppy farms or canine factory farms, places where intensive confinement is the norm. Puppy mills can also be licensed facilities/kennels that sell directly to the public, and can house as few as a dozen dogs or exceed 1,000. Even some so-called reputable AKC (American Kennel Club) hobby and show ‘fanciers’ operate puppy mills.”

presented in evidence. This decision was a fait accompli, and we were not surprised that the application would be approved.” Residents living near the site and their sympathizers formed an ad hoc group and online presence called Jackson Citizens Coalition. The group has set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for an attorney. Reed Road resident Marina Shapiro, a vocal opponent of the plan who often spoke at the meetings, said the group is disappointed but not surprised by the decision. “The Planning Board had shown bias toward Six Flags from the beginning. The Town had bent over backwards to accommodate this big corporation while going to great lengths to subvert citizens’ attempts to present our case,” Shapiro said. “While the Board had voted for this project last night, the fight is not over. There is an active lawsuit and we intend to continue our efforts to protect our homes, our health and the environment. “ Donato will move forward with a lawsuit to stop the razing of 70 acres that Great Adventure owns to make way for a solar array field. GA did tweak its initial plans to clear-cut 90 acres and put solar carports in its employee parking lot. Ocean County Superior Court Judge Marlene Lynch Ford will hear the case. The Jackson Times reached out to GA attorney Neil Yoskin for comment, but did not hear from him by presstime. But Hudak had some comments about the proceedings. “I found it incredulous that people were trying to convince the Board and the public that solar panels are so toxic. Why weren’t these people protesting as we put these panels on our schools and homes? Additionally, virtually all the people attending the hearings were not Jackson residents. They belonged to special interest groups targeting a large company. Only a handful of Jackson residents objected and they all lived near the project. We have had many larger projects in Jackson clearing many more trees than this one and they did not protest those applications.”
Jackson Little League Opening Day
JACKSON – The Jackson Little League will celebrate the start of its 58th season this year. Opening day is 9 a.m. on April 16.

burden falls on residential properties, Schlegel said, something the administration is looking to change. “Obviously we’re looking for clean ratables to come in to offset some of that tax burden. We’d like to see that [percentage] go down a little bit,” she said. Council Vice President Kenneth Bressi concurred talked about how land use can positively impact taxes. “In 2010 we adopted a new master plan, that if that master plan gets built out 75 percent of what it can allow for, will reduce that residential portion to down to 76 percent. It would increase the commercial up 11 percent.” Some of the budget impacts include healt h i n su r a nce, pen sion s, w i nt e r storms, and personnel. Councilman Barry Calogero called the budget “fiscally responsible,” adding that the items driving the biggest increases—health insurance and pensions—are state mandated items outside the control of the municipality. Salaries and wages comprise the largest portion of the municipal budget, coming in at $18.6 million. Of that, almost 62 percent goes toward public safety. Public works salaries come in at $2.6 million and general government salaries at $4.4

million. The township employs 218 fulltime and 61 part-time employees. The township back in 2010 used more than 95 percent of its sur plus, $3.8 million, in its budget that year. The percentage of surplus used since then has decreased, and this year the township plans to use only 57 percent of its surplus, $3 million out of more than $5 million. “We’re finally building our surplus. We’re finally starting to crawl out of the weeds, and the economy has helped a little bit. Fiscal responsibility has been put into place the last several years and is finally starting to bear some fruit,” Councilman Scott Martin said. “You look at so many towns that say, ‘We’re not raising taxes,’ but they’re bleeding their entire surplus to do it. We’re not doing that. That’s the sign of a fiscally responsible budget.” The township also did not take any exclusions—items such as pensions, health care costs, construction, emergencies, and debt—and kept all increases within the state-mandated 2 percent cap. The amount to be raised by taxes this year is $596,638.78, an increase of 1.97 percent, from $30,330,788.85 to $30,927,427.63. The public hearing on the budget will be held 7:30 p.m. April 22 at the municipal building, 95 West Veteran’s Highway.

Editorial
Urgent Time For More Planning And Action
Our area is experiencing another population boom. But unlike the development of decades past, which spread across the area to create the suburbs, senior communities and tourist enclaves now aging in Ocean County, the most recent boom is taking place in and around Lakewood. The 2010 Census – its numbers now six year’s out of date ‑‑ put the population of Lakewood at 92,843. The 2000 Census for Lakewood was 60,352, and in 1990, 45,048. To put it mildly, it has been hard for Ocean County and Howell to keep up with that growth. The roads are traffic-jammed, the infrastructure is burdened. New residents and visitors are sharing roads that were built for neighborhoods decades ago. Unfortunately, the wheels of bureaucracy can’t seem to keep up. Despite decades of local advocacy calling for the dualization of Route 9 through Ocean County, the most recent study and plans for the road do not recommend such action. Another project is coming to put a southbound exit 83 from the Garden State Parkway onto Route 571, less than a mile south of its intersection
with Route 9. Whether this will help motorists get around or simply create a higher traffic load in that intersection, that is an answer traffic experts and engineers need to look at more finely, before the first spades break ground. Towns develop and update their master plans, showing where each road – whether actual or a paper street – sits. Roads that once seemed like quiet neighborhood thoroughfares are now bursting with faster moving vehicles trying to avoid the traffic-jammed main roads. These master plans may be updated regularly, with new ordinances and revisions before town government to help match the existing and proposed development plans. Then, our local governments wade through funding requests or act to approve capital projects to improve the roads to handle their new capacity. While such action does take time, it needs to be put higher on the priority list. Area traffic, vehicle and pedestrian safety and even simple road maintenance are all factors needing constant addressing, and will only become more important as the population boom continues.

C ommentary Letters To The Editor
Slow Down, Move Over
YES Network Surprised
I am writing this letter on the feast day of St. Patrick, but the subject is about vehicular homicides. I was appalled by the death by auto of New Jersey State Trooper Sean E. Cullen as he was responding to a crash on New Jersey Highway 295. In my opinion the driver who killed him should be held accou ntable. There are huge signs on the Garden State Parkway demanding drivers to slow down and move away f rom emergency vehicles who are responding to a call. In another closer, related death by auto is the case of Ocean Gate Patrolman Jason C. Marles who was returning from a special d r u n k d r iver det ail on Thanksgiving Day several years ago. The driver of the vehicle who killed Patrolman Morales was i ntoxicated , yet I read recently that he may only be incarcerated for about eight years. Both Trooper Cullen and Patrolman Morales r i s ke d t h e i r l ive s a n d their deaths should never have happened. However, these deaths will continue unless severe penalties are handed down by the jud icial system. Add itionally, drivers need to slow down and stop using their vehicles as weapons of destruction.

YES Network sincerely appreciates the efforts of legislators and leaders across the region to help get our network back on the Comcast lineup. We are particularly grateful for their recognition of the indisputable fact that the New York Yankees are extremely popular with viewers and that the YES Network’s ratings are consistently among the highest of any channel on television when the Yankees are playing. For our part, we were extremely surprised and disappointed when Comcast unilaterally dropped YES in the dead of night last November, and we stand ready to negotiate a deal with Comcast immediately.

reckless provocations. With this resolution, we return strategic focus to our efforts to reduce the threat posed by North Korea to our allies, alleviate the suffering of the people of North Korea, and create the conditions for greater security in the region. As I said last month as the Senate was poised to pass my bipartisan DPRK sanctions bill, it is time to take seriously this rogue state living in its own false reality. There is no substitute for American leadership, and I will continue to push to keep our international partners focused on our collective goal. Sen. Bob Menendez New Jersey
More Municipalities Than California The State of New Jersey has proven itself to be incapable of honest self-gover nment, with constant arrests of public officials in a political environment filled with nepotism, cronyism, fraud, deceit, and mismanagement. Much of our problems stem from municipal government and it doesn’t take much to begin to see the issues. New Jersey, with 565 municipalities, numbers more than the substantially larger State of California’s 482. New Jersey has 8.9 million people. California has 38.8 million. Since the term of Gover nor Christie, and numerous other eth ically lacking politicians before him, it is known that a new direction is needed for New Jersey. Clearly we have the money, talent, and innovation to operate an effective government, but the problem is the culture of corruption. Let’s suspend New Jersey’s statehood and become a federal district, under direct control of the U.S. Congress for a set period of time (such as ten years), in order to rebuild our state institutions in a
transparent manner. Return New Jersey as a single state-entity, without municipal or county governments, but a larger elected state legislature. Home Rule leads to fiefdoms. No more Home Rule in New Jersey! Eric Hafner Toms River
Join Your Volunteer Squads The object of this column is to encourage people to come join the squad because we really do need you. But the object of our squad is to help you. Many calls are to houses where people only need us to pick them up. Please call us for that. Others are to houses where people are very sick and need us to help with oxygen, psychological or medical support, “Do I need to go to the hospital?”, emergency transport to the hospital, or CPR. Living alone in the senior communities, especially if you are not well, can be a challenge, whether the task is shopping, cooking, cleaning or getting to a doctor’s appointment. You don’t know whom to call, so you often have to call 911. If you call 911 the help we give is only temporary and not longterm help. If you only need transport you may be taking us away from an emergency call. For Holiday City Berkeley EMS, our EMS area is almost 11,765 homes, responding to over 2,000 calls a year. We run two ambulances five days a week. Don’t be bored (there’s nothing good on TV). Consider joining Holiday City at Berkeley Emergency Medical Service or your local squad. We need you and so do your neighbors. Four years ago, Annie, a retired nurse said she didn’t want to join. She was retired. Not interested. Her friend said, “I will, if you will. Let’s join together.” They did. Her neighbor got sick and had to quit. Annie’s still here! Stay healthy. Phyllis Brown Berkeley

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith End Political Manipulation Of TIP Report
Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – Fighting to ensure that this year’s annual Trafficking In Persons report (TIP) is not plagued by the same political manipulations that tarnished the 2015 publication, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, chairman of the house panel that oversees human rights, convened a hearing highlighting the problems in the last report and hearing from experts about problem countries that should not be glossed over again this year. “The State Department must get the TIP Report right, or we will lose the foundational tool created to help the more than 20 million victims of trafficking enslaved around the world today,” said Smith, the author of the landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act, a law which among other significant provisions mandates the State Department’s comprehensive assessment of countries in the TIP report. Since the inception of the TIP Report, more than 100 countries have adopted laws similar to the U.S. model of prosecution of traffickers, protection of victims and prevention of trafficking, many crediting
the U.S. for inspiring the change. “I am extremely disappointed and concerned that last year’s TIP Report gave a pass to several countries meriting Tier 3 accountability – countries whose trafficking victims desperately needed protection and America’s powerful voice. The 2015 TIP Report failed many victims. The victims deserved better,” said Smith. At the center of the storm Smith said was a series of investigative reports by Reuters, which found that the trafficking in persons professionals at the State Department made one set of recommendations for identifying worst offending countries – only to be overruled at a higher administration level for political reasons. Smith named Cuba, China, Malaysia and Oman as specific examples of countries originally recommended for Tier 3–but ultimately listed in last year’s report at a higher level by the Obama Administration. “Fourteen countries were given higher grades than warranted,” Smith said. “The report was meant to speak for the trafficking victims waiting, hoping and praying for relief,” said Smith. “Tier rankings are not about pretext, they are about real prosecution, real prevention and real protection – for real people
who are suffering as slaves. “Cuba is an egregious example of a nation being given an unwarranted passing grade because of other non-human trafficking considerations,” Smith said. “President Obama is there today, hob-nobbing with the very people who are kept in power by the profits of slave labor. The very people who do not have a law against labor trafficking. The very people whose hotels are filled with sex tourists who came to Cuba specifically to sexually exploit minors. “When the U.S. engages in cronyism with favored countries – inf lating the ran kings of friends for reasons unrelated to the suffering of traff icking victims – U.S. credibility is har med, U.S. leadership is undermined and the trafficking victims are left helpless and alone,” said Smith. Witnesses at the hearing entitled “Getting it Right this Time: A Victim-Centered Trafficking in Persons Report,” focused on the records of countries whose tier rankings might lead to internal State Department conflicts between the TIP Office and the Regional Bureaus. Maria Werlau said that, “What makes the Cuban case unique, as well as astounding, is that trafficking is a huge operation run by the government through

numerous state enterprises with… accomplices, participants, sponsors and promoters all over the world… the Cuban government is likely one of the largest and most profitable trafficking promoters in the world.” She said that the Cuban dictatorship is involved in four main sources of human trafficking: export services of temporary workers; forced labor and sex trafficking; state-sponsored or forced migration and export sales of human and body parts. “Our State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Report addresses only two of these aspects and, in my view, quite poorly.” Mark P. Lagon, a former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for the TIP Office and current president of the human rights group Freedom House, testified to the records of several countries on the cusp of downgrade to Tier 3.
“Despite democratic reforms and the NLD victories, the will or capacity to improve the trafficking situation for ethnic and religious minorities displaced within or migrating from the country is in question. Myanmar ought not to be given a pass or unfounded bonus in its ranking,” Lagon observed regarding Burma, which by law must be downgraded to Tier 3 this year if it has not earned an upgrade to Tier 2. Matt Smith, the executive director of Fortify Rights, observed, “This year, Malaysia has again failed to demonstrate adequate attention to key issues in combatting human trafficking, particularly with regard to the protection for survivors and prosecution of perpetrators… Malaysian authorities set a strong example by uncovering more than 100 gravesites, e x h u m i n g b o d ie s a n d
vowing a crackdown on trafficking. Unfortunately, however, these commitments were not complemented with action. To our knowledge, Malaysia has failed to conduct an effective investigation into the trafficking syndicates.” Jinhye Jo, president of NkinUSA, and herself a refugee from North Korea who eventually escaped through China after several attempts and imprisonment in China, testified, “I can state without hesitation that the situation facing North Korean refugees in China is more dangerous today than ever before. It is the Chinese government’s failure to abide by international law that directly leads to the trafficking of North Korean refugees, especially women.” The 2016 Trafficking in Persons Report is due in early June.
Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer 12th Legislative District
Bill Allows Private Donations to Fund Police Equipment & Salary Enhancements NEW JERSEY – Legislation (A-3537) to authorize in every municipality public safety trust funds financed by private donations, not public tax dollars, to pay for police officer safety equipment or provide salary enhancements has been introduced by Assemblyman Ron Dancer. “Police officers provide a valuable service, ensuring safe, crime-f ree neighborhoods for New Jersey families,” said Dancer (R– Ocean). “Properly equipping and retaining the best
officers can often be problematic when municipal budgets are constrained by the two percent cap on tax levies. With the addition of private contributions towns can better maintain and provide high-quality police protection without adding to the burden of property taxpayers.” “In many smaller towns with lower pay scales, it is challenging to retain police officers given a two percent budget cap on tax increases. Under this bill, salary enhancements from
private donations would be distributed to officers according to procedures established by the municipal governing body,” said Dancer. The bill specifies that any salary enhancements are solely dependent upon private donations and are not part of, but over and above, an officer’s contractual salary and not a factor for pension calculations. Under the bill, the local governing body will administer the fund and determine appropriations.

My Hearing Is Pretty Good, Except When I Go To The Movies I often hear the comment, “I can’t appreciate going to the movies because I am missing the punch line.” Similar complaints are reiterated when watching TV, listening to the radio or in noisy restaurant environments. These environments have something in common; they all present the listener with a mechanical reproduction of sound and utilize various techniques that can make understanding difficult with hearing loss. Movie theaters employ loudness expansion. With expansion, loud sounds are louder than normal. This is exactly the opposite of what people with hearing loss need. Specifically, hearing impaired folks need loudness compression (reduced amplification of loud sounds). It is ridiculous that most movie theaters insist on playing sound tracks so loud even though everybody complains about it. Moreover, filmmakers often use multiple microphones to re-
cord speech from several people at the same time. Add background music to this situation and you have the recipe for a difficult listening environment. Whether you are listening to the radio, telephone, TV or watching movies, the quality of sound and the intelligibility of speech has been recorded, processed, transmitted and amplified. For people with hearing loss, this difference is enough to make understanding a real challenge. I encourage anybody who is having difficulty listening in these environments to utilize the technology that is available to improve the sound quality. For example, most movie theaters “are wired for sound,” and allow you to utilize their own personal listening headphones (which are typically infrared technology). In most cases, this will dramatically improve your ability to understand speech, which is our common goal.
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.

The Case Against Kale
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. My mom and dad invited me to dinner and I refused to eat the raw broccoli and dip that my mom offered. I am not afraid of broccoli, honest. But it made me wonder how many of you know about the goitrogenic effect this veggie has on your thyroid. Today, I’m writing to inform you of goitrogenic foods, in case you are worried about thyroid cancer, goiters, breast or prostate disease or fatigue. Goitrogens fight with your thyroid. Over time, they can cause a goiter, which is a swelling in the neck due to an enlarged thyroid gland. Goiter, goitrogens, get it? It’s not that they are “bad.” It’s more that they are a poor match for you, especially if you have (or are afraid of getting) thyroid disease. A lot of you are drinking greens because I’ve told you to over the years. Some of the brands out there are loaded with goitrogens. Two recent studies have taken the relationship between goitrogens and thyroid health even further. The rising incidence of thyroid cancer worldwide has prompted much of the research on goitrogens. Drinking raw goitrogens every day could cause dramatic consequences to your thyroid and reproductive organs, despite other benefits from these superfoods. Goitrogenic compounds temporarily suppress iodine absorption and utilization. Mind you, iodine is critical to good thyroid, breast and prostate health. Goitrogenic foods are primarily the cruciferous vegetables such as kale, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and others. But you may not realize, peaches, strawberries, pears, peanuts, soy milk and f lax seed are goitrogenic too. The complete list is posted at my website. These goitrogenic vegetables contain
compounds li ke “ t h io c y a n a t e ,” which may increase thyroid cancer risk by inhibiting iodine transport to the thyroid gland. In the study published in Clinical Nutrition Research 2014, researchers were able to confirm that blocking iodine caused a pro-inflammatory reaction against the thyroid gland (bad). The researchers found this association in several geographic regions of the world, where iodine intake was low and raw cruciferous vegetable intake was high. In November 2015, in the International Journal of Cancer, researchers looked at dietary patterns in people and tracked them for about ten years. Within that time frame, 325 participants were diagnosed with thyroid cancer. They didn’t track the number of people who developed a goiter, but I suspect that was high too. After accounting for the different variables, one dietary trend stood out: Higher intake of ‘cruciferous vegetables’ in midlife doubled the risk of thyroid cancer. This could be a nightmare for some of you because all commercial green superfood drinks contain a lot of goitrogens in them, and you may be enthusiastically drinking them. I’d be avoiding them if you have hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, a goiter, breast disease or chronic fatigue. I’ve written a more comprehensive version of this article and included a mind-blowing list of all the goitrogenic foods that you probably have in your fridge right now. Go to SuzyCohen.com and sign up for my newsletter, and I’ll email it to you next week.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Our House Was Our Castle And Our Keep
Dear Joel My wife and I are both retired. I am writing because she may see this and realize that it’s her that I am referring to. Our house is filthy and disgusting. I can no longer look in the refrigerator. Our stove hasn’t been cleaned in months and the bathroom equally as dirty. Any suggestions as to how to change her? Answer: My suggestion is (as always) stop trying to change her and work on yourself. I see nothing in your letter that makes me feel that you are incapable of doing some housework. Too often people can help
sit uations but f i nd it easier to blame others. Perhaps if your wife sees that you care enough to do the cleaning, she will follow suit. If my suggestion doesn’t fit, many people hire people to do the cleaning for them. If that is all that’s w rong in you r home, consider yourself lucky. It’s not a heavy lift. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Inside The Law
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Marc S. Galella Esq.
The Need For Wills For Families With Young Children By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates To many people, a Will is something which older persons should have so that they can distribute their assets in an orderly manner after their passing. Many younger people, to whom death is merely an abstract and something they do not anticipate will happen in the immediate future, believe that they do not need to have a Will. Such people are very mistaken and not having a Will may lead to many problem if they pass away without a Will. Everybody should have a Will. A Will is the only way that you can ensure that your assets will be distributed the way that you intend to best protect your loved ones. This is especially true of parents who have young children. By young children, we mean minor children under the age of 18 years. If one of the parents were to pass away before the other, in most cases, the assets of the deceased parent will pass to the surviving parent. This presumes that there is not a Will providing otherwise. Similarly, if one parent were to pass away, the surviving parent would continue as the guardian of any minor children. But what happens in the case where both parents pass away leaving behind minor children? Without a Will, what takes place can create issues for the children. In the instance of where both parents pass away without a Will and leave behind minor children, all of the parents’ assets will pass by the law of intestacy to the minor children to be divided into equal shares. The money will be held in an account in the Surrogate’s Office in the county in which the parents resided. The Surrogate will hold the money in the account until each child reaches the age of 18 years at which time the Surrogate will give each child their equal share of the parents’ assets. Many parents may find this objectionable because they may not believe that their children are mature enough to handle money at that age. Allowing a child to receive money at such a young age may defeat the parents’ intent to allow the money to be
used for the child’s college education. Also, because the money is being held by the Surrogate, it will be necessary for the person with custody of the children to have to apply to the Surrogate’s office whenever money may be needed for the children and to satisfy the Surrogate that the money is being used for a proper purpose. Finally, the money would be divided equally among the children which may not be what all parents want. By making a Will, the parents can establish a trust in the Will and determine how the money will be divided among the children and the ages at which the children will receive the money. Further, by the Will, the parents can name a trustee who will handle the money for the children. Perhaps a more pressing question in the event that both parents should pass away without a Will, is who will be the person or person who will have custody of the children until each reaches the age of 18 years? In many cases, a family member will step forward and seek to have the court award them custody. But suppose there is no family member willing to do so? What if the family member who steps forward is not the person the parents would want to have custody of your children? What if the parents’ respective families begin to fight over which side should have custody? As you can see, not providing for the custody of children by way of a Will can create real issues and possibly put the welfare of the children at risk. By making a Will, the parents can name a person as the guardian of the children until they reach the age of 18. The easiest way to solve these issues is that all parents with minor children should have a Will specifying who are the persons who should have custody of the minor children and establishing a trust so that the monetary assets will be handled properly and maintained for the children under they reach a mature age. We urge all parents of minor children to have a Will prepared to protect their children and their assets.

The Jackson Times, April 2, 2016, Page 23 For the week of April 2 - April 8
Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Small things make a big difference. Write down your ideas and inspiring thoughts, make lists to prioritize your tasks and take note of all the most important details. In the week ahead you may move in lofty circles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your goals firmly in mind. Minor spats can distract you this week. Fun and games might not be suitable for serious subjects or at the workplace, but some gentle teasing might smooth out little aggravations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The process of becoming more in tune with your surroundings requires processing information. In the week to come you may be more concerned about facts than fantasies. Domestic duties can be rewarding. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Forge ahead and achieve your goals.

Wolfgang Puc
Spring Ahead: Enjoy A Light, Healthy Take On A Classic Seasonal Vegetable Dish By Wolfgang Puck
Springtime is just a few days old. Already, enthusiastic cooks everywhere are celebrating its arrival by preparing lighter, fresher-tasting dishes that feature the finest seasonal produce. From salads and soups to main courses and sides, young leaves, roots, shoots, pods and other edible plants are beguiling food lovers with their bright colors, crisp textures and delicate flavors. It’s one of my favorite times of year. Yet, to tell you the truth, seasonality just isn’t what it used to be. Thanks to modern growing techniques and the ease of shipping produce not just across the country but also around the world, seasonality can sometimes seem like a meaningless concept to anyone strolling through a well-stocked supermarket. That’s why I prefer to buy my produce from a farmers’ market or directly from the grower, as I often do from the renowned farm run by my friends, the Chino family, in northern San Diego County. That’s the best way to be sure the vegetables and fruits you buy have been responsibly grown and harvested at the peak of their natural season, and that their journey to your kitchen does not involve a globally large carbon footprint. Cooking with the true seasons, you can genuinely taste the difference. As a perfect example, I’d like to share my variation on a classic recipe. In France, cooks often celebrate spring’s arrival by serving an elegant appetizer of cooked asparagus spears accompanied by a rich vinaigrette dressing, melted butter or even richer Hollandaise sauce. I love that tradition. But in my efforts to eat more healthfully, I’ve developed a variation that provides all the classic flavors with very little fat. I serve the bright green spears with a sauce based on lusciously creamy nonfat Greek yogurt, quickly flavored with a reduction of fresh citrus juices and a touch of tangy mustard. (The dressing is also great served with other vegetable crudites.) The preparation is as easy and delicious as it sounds. And there’s very little effort involved in preparing the asparagus. First, if the asparagus I’m preparing are any thicker than a pencil, I always make sure to peel the lower two-thirds of each spear for absolute tenderness. Then I always blanch the asparagus, briefly boiling it and then immediately plunging it into ice water (a step that safeguards its bright-green color and tender-crisp flavor). So I hope you’ll head for your nearest farmers’ market and buy some asparagus soon. Then, please try my recipe and join me in celebrating the season.
ASPARAGUS WITH CITRUS-MUSTARD YOGURT SAUCE Serves 4 2 pounds (1 kg) asparagus, preferably jumbo spears Kosher salt 2 cups (500 mL) fresh orange juice 1/2 cup (125 mL) fresh lemon juice 1 cup (250 mL) plain nonfat Greek yogurt Freshly ground white pepper 2 tablespoons grainy mustard 12 cherry tomatoes, halved, for garnish Fresh chives, finely chopped, or edible flowers (such as chive blossoms), for garnish With a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, strip off the tough outer layer from the bottom two thirds of each asparagus stalk, resting the stem end of each stalk on a work surface as you peel it. Cut off the tough end of each stalk with a sharp knife. In a pot large and wide enough to submerge all the asparagus, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, fill a large mixing bowl with ice cubes and water and place it on the counter near the stove. Add the peeled asparagus to the boiling water. Cook the spears until al dente, tender but still slightly crisp, 4 to 5 minutes for jumbo spears or about 3 minutes for pencil-thin spears from the time the water returns to a boil. The tip of a small, sharp knife should easily pierce the thick part of a spear. As soon as the asparagus is done, use tongs to lift the spears out of the boiling water, and submerge them directly in the ice water. Leave to chill, about 30 seconds. Drain the spears well and transfer them to a tray lined with a clean kitchen towel. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. As soon as you put the asparagus in the refrigerator, start preparing the sauce. In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the orange and lemon juices and bring them to a brisk simmer over high heat. Continue simmering, whisking occasionally and adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent the juices from boiling over, until the liquid has reduced to 1/3 to 1/2 cup (85 to 125 mL) and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a measuring cup and leave to cool. In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt until its texture has loosened up slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mustard and stir with a whisk until well blended. Whisking continuously, gradually stir in the cooled juice reduction. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. To serve the asparagus, arrange the spears on four chilled serving plates. Spoon a little sauce over them, garnish with cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle with chives or edible flowers. Pass extra sauce at the table.
