COYOTE SIGHTINGS FREQUENT, BUT NOT UNCOMMON THIS SUMMER
By Courtney McCann OCEAN COUNTY -- For fans of Looney Tunes, the coyote is an animal that calls the desert home and spends its time chasing extremely large and fast birds. But as local residents are quickly becoming aware, coyotes are actually very common in New Jersey. This summer several Ocean and Monmouth County towns have reported coyote sightings, leading many to wonder if there has been a surge in the state’s coyote population. In July a Manchester Township man received stitches after being bitten by an
aggressive animal police believed may have been a coyote. The following month, Wall Township police sent an alert to residents confirming coyote sightings in the areas of Orchard Crest Boulevard and Paynters Road. Last year, Berkeley Township and South Toms River issued alerts after residents encountered aggressive coyotes around South Toms River elementary school and in Holiday City neighborhoods. These incidents have led other towns to issue alerts to residents and advise them what to do in the event of a coyote sighting
in their area. But while the growing number of reports may seem unusual, Larry Hajna, spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) said it’s actually quite common to hear about coyote sightings in the Garden State. “Coyotes are part of our landscape here in New Jersey,” Hajna said. “They’re found in virtually every type of environment we have in the state, including suburban and urban areas.” As far as the number of sightings being (Coyote - See Page 5)

JACKSON – County records show this will be the first general election in which council candidates are running unopposed since Jackson changed its form of government back in 2006. Municipal clerk Ann Marie Eden, who has been with the township since 1998, said she could not recall an uncontested general election for council since that time. Incumbents Rob Nixon, Kenneth Bressi and Barry Calogero are running for the three open seats this election year. They serve on Cou ncil with Scott Martin and Ann Updegrave, who both ran successfully against Nathan Grosshandler and Denise Garner in 2014. “Running unopposed is a historic event in Jackson politics, it is also a testament to my running mates and my work ethics and our ability to do what’s right for the best interest of Jackson residents,” Calogero said. “While I’m thrilled we are running unopposed, it does not mean we will slow down. We will fight harder to preserve quality of life concerns, work smarter to reduce spending and always stay true to our commitment to listen and respect the wishes of the good people of Jackson. I am truly humbled to serve the residents of this great (Candidates - See Page 5)

town and thank God for the opportunity I have been entrusted with,” said Calogero. Bressi said he’s spoken to longtime residents involved in township politics who agree an uncontested election has not happened. “I am shocked over it. It’s a testament that we’re on the right track. People know we’re trying to do the right thing. We work together and move forward to address the concerns of the town,” he said. But having no opposition puts more pressure on the candidates, Bressi said. “It puts a burden on it. But not being run against, we have to apply ourselves harder than we have the last four years. We have to do things right and continue doing it.” Calogero said Council has “aggressively passed…laws to preserve the integrity and landscape of Jackson Township.” “Our ordinances are intelligently thought out, thoroughly enforced and many are used as a template for surrounding townships,” Calogero said. He held up as examples the many zoning laws that withstood attempts to change the Master Plan, as well the No-Knock and blockbusting ordinances passed in the last year. Jackson has more police than four years ago. The township’s bond rating has increased. All this has happened while staying under the state-mandated 2 percent budget cap. Nixon agreed. “Serving as a Councilman is a true honor. I have tried to use my position to act as a voice
The Jackson Times, September 17, 2016, Page 5 for our residents to stand up for the issues we all care so deeply about, especially protecting our quality of life. Whether it’s adopting the toughest no knock law in the State, fighting against State mandates that force unwanted development in town or simply helping a resident solve a problem, I can honestly say I strive every day to put our town ahead of everything else,” Nixon said. “At the same time, along with my colleagues, we have carefully managed the town finances, grown our surplus and expanded our services and police force. We have a lot to be proud of as a community and I’m looking forward to continuing representing the people of Jackson for another four years with Barry and Ken.” Bressi said they are seeking four more years not to accomplish things they haven’t accomplished yet, but to continue in the direction they are heading. “We can’t say it’s all over, it’s all fixed. It’s never all fixed. We have to keep moving forward,” he said. Jackson has a Mayor-Council form of government, in which voters elect a mayor and five council members in nonpartisan elections. Jackson changed elections from May to November in 2011. Though the elections are nonpartisan, The Jackson Times did rea ch out to the Ocean County Democr ats to ask about this unopposed election. “Since the ele ctions are nonpartisan, no one runs on the party line. Individ ual Democrats, Republicans or Independents chose to run,” an email from the organization said. The general election is November 8.

reported this summer, Hajna said that while the DEP has not seen a significant surge in the coyote population, the number of coyotes has steadily increased from year to year, as they do not have natural predators in the area. And while they can be hunted, there is not a lot of interest in coyotes from the hunting community. Coyotes also tend to travel in groups that move from one community another, Hajna said, which would explain why a number of coyotes seem to be popping up in the same region at once. “And there’s also more awareness on the parts of the community and local law enforcement,” said Hajna. “So more towns are reporting sightings and putting out information to residents.” There is some benefit to having coyotes in the area, as they help to keep the rodent population under control by hunting and eating mice, rabbits and other small animals. But they can also present danger, in some rare cases attacking domestic pets or even small children. According to Wall Township Police Public Information Officer Lieutenant Greg Carpino, the township has not had any more sightings since August. But police are continuing to raise the level of awareness about coyotes in their community. “We are very proactive with public information, particularly information that pertains to the safety of our community,” Carpino said.
The DEP recommends that residents follow these guidelines to avoid conflicts with coyotes: Never feed a coyote. Deliberately feeding coyotes puts pets and other residents in the neighborhood at risk. Feeding pet cats and/or feral (wild) cats outdoors can attract coyotes. The coyotes feed on the pet food and also prey upon the cats. Put garbage in tightly closed containers that cannot be tipped over. Remove sources of water, especially in dry climates. Bring pets in at night. Put away bird feeders at night to avoid attracting rodents and other coyote prey. Provide secure enclosures for rabbits, poultry, and other farm animals. Pick up fallen fruit and cover compost piles. Although extremely rare, coyotes have been known to attack humans. Parents should monitor their children, even in familiar surroundings, such as backyards. Install motion-sensitive lighting around the house. Clear brush and dense weeds from around dwellings - this reduces protective cover for coyotes and makes the area less attractive to rodents and rabbits. Coyotes, as well as other predators, are attracted to areas where rodents are concentrated like woodpiles. If coyotes are present, make sure they know they’re not welcome. Make loud noises, blast a canned air siren, throw rocks, or spray them with a garden hose.

Editorial Local Summer
Yes, during the summer, the beaches are crowded, boardwalks noisy, roads are congested and nightlife is wild. But the Jersey Shore has so much more to offer, and that’s especially true of that time of year referred to as Locals’ Summer, the weeks after Labor Day. The crowds may have thinned but the weather is just as nice. The waves are rolling and the sun is shining, although the pumpkin spice is back at the coffee shop – it’s a unique time of year at the Jersey Shore, and one that is ripe for enjoyment. Whether a giant slice or a creamsicle twist, the classic summer choices can still be found (and often year-round) on the boardwalks, which this time of year are hosting a variety of free festivals celebrating the season: the Beach Plum Festival at Island Beach State Park, Seafood Fest in Point Pleasant Beach, down to the Columbus Day Festival in Seaside Heights come October. The beach and the boards aren’t the only areas to enjoy: this is home to many parks and recreation areas offering a wide variety of
activities for the family. Nature hikes, lighthouses, playgrounds, open spaces, camping, to name a few. And don’t forget about the natural gem that is the Barnegat Bay and the countless opportunities for fun that it provides. Go seining, boating, fishing or crabbing, or of course, swimming. The possibilities are endless when it comes to recreation here. If you travel to the western side of the county, you can see why New Jersey is known as The Garden State. Acres upon acres of farmland abound, growing everything from corn to tomatoes to strawberries and blueberries. So take the family for a drive to a U-pick farm and pick up some Jersey Fresh produce for supper. You will be supporting local farmers plus the kids will have a blast. While the tourism economy is grateful to the visitors who make their way to the Jersey Shore each summer, there is so much more available to experience at the Jersey Shore than meets the visitor’s eye. Enjoy Local Summer now before the sun sets on this wonderful time of year.

Letters To The Editor Thank You For Your Service It is with a heavy heart that I would like to reflect on the tragic loss of the five brave police officers of the Dallas Police Department that went to work in the mor ning, knowing they were going to be in harm’s way when protecting protesters’ rights to assemble and their free speech under the First Amendment. The officers would not have known they would not be coming home to their wives and children when they were assassinated by a ruthless gunman who acted with the intention of killing white police officers. These officers had no chance against the type of assault weapon and armor-piercing rounds the gunman used; the ammunition went through their bulletproof vests. I think that these types of weapons should be banned for the protection of all people. However, I do respect the Second Amendment under the Constit ution of the United States that gives citizens the right to bear arms. After watching the graphic images of the shootings in Baton Rouge and St. Paul, I could see why people were outraged and I feel that all lives matter regardless if you are white, black, Hispanic, Asian or any other ethnic group. We need a kinder and gentler world where people can have the expectation of going to work and not be in harm’s way. We are
all God’s children, and we need peace on earth and good will to all men and women. In less than one month, three more officers lost their lives in Baton Rouge. Why? Retired Det. Sgt. Bert Lundberg Whiting
What Is An Aquifer Sometimes in the summer the heat index is in the triple digits. It is also the time when grass goes dormant. However, there are so many people on the East Coast who defy this natural consequence of summer and water their yards every day, sometimes for a complete hour. The justif ication is that this is free water coming from a personal well and so they have the right to do this. Meanwhile, in so many parts of the United States water is not free. In fact, it is almost nonexistent due to years of severe drought. “So what?” some people say. “That doesn’t concern us.” However, it wasn’t too long ago that part of New Jersey also suffered from a d rought and it could happen again. Additionally, there are places in New Jersey that have dried up wells and some even have salt water in them. Therefore, having a personal well does not guarantee it will always have

Back To School Food With the new school year starting, parents’ to-do lists are now filled with shopping for school clothes, school supplies and school food. That’s right – school food! In past years, our nation’s schools were used by the USDA as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. It is neither a surprise nor coincidence that one-third of our children have become overweight or obese. Such dietary mistakes at an early age become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Then came President Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requiring double the servings of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, less sodium and fat, and no meat for breakfast. The guidelines are supported by 86 percent of Americans. Most U.S. school districts now offer vegetarian options. More than 120 schools including the entire school districts of Balti-
more, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Philadelphia and San Diego have implemented Meatless Monday. Some schools have dropped meat from their menu altogether. As parents, we need to involve our own children and school cafeteria managers in promoting healthy, plant-based foods in our own schools. Going online and searching for “vegetarian options in schools” provides lots of good resources. Hal Tubbs Toms River
Epipen Prices As a pharmacist for 58 years I have seen what has happened to drug prices since the begin ning of insu rance coverage for prescriptions. The price of Epipen has gone from hardly nothing when introduced to $615 for two pens. Why? Because insurance will pay. Because the public could not afford the about-$100 copays, they give you a coupon for the copay. T he y k now for s u r e that if insurance did not pay they would be out of business. This is happening with hundreds of medications. The public couldn’t care less as long as someone else is paying: employers and higher premiums. Paul Schneider Pharmacist Howell

Drivers Cautioned To Watch For Children As Buses And Walkers Gear Up For Back To School
OCEAN COUNTY – Fleets of school buses are back on the road as Ocean County’s schools are in session again. “Each September we remind motorists to be cautious of not only school buses loading and unloading children, but also of the thousands of children that walk and bicycle to school,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari. “Whether students take the bus, walk, ride a bicycle or are driven to school by their parents, there are safety rules everyone must follow,” he said. But safe driving begins be-

NEW JERSEY – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker announced that Rutgers University, New Brunswick, has been awarded $2,999,055 in federal funding from the National Science Foundation to develop research into the risks of climate change on coastal communities and their resilience to such threats. “As we approach the fourth anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, it is absolutely critical that we do all we can to understand and respond to the real threat that climate change poses to the Jersey Shore and other low-lying communities throughout our state,” said Sen. Menendez. “This grant will help Rutgers develop cutting edge
fore the car even reaches the street, he said. “Even while backing out of your driveway you may encounter inattentive students walking or biking to school,” Vicari, a lifelong educator, said. Drivers must also be extra alert for lower speed limits near schools. “Crossing guards will be protecting children, but it’s up to all of us as drivers to slow down and watch for kids in the roadway,” Vicari said. When approaching any intersection, pedestrian crossing or school zone, be alert, cover
the brake and be ready to stop. “Take a hard look,” Vicari said. “Look, and then look again, for the child hidden by parked cars, shrubbery or high grass, trees, or poles. Even mailboxes can obscure a child, if only for a moment.” Watch for the “darting child” who runs into the roadway chasing a ball or some other object, he said. He also urged students to use extra caution and carefully check for any moving traffic when they exit a school bus. “Never trust a vehicle to stop just because the bus is flashing its red warning lights.
Always look both ways before crossing the street after stepping out of the school bus,” Vicari said. Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, reminded drivers that they must stop for school buses loading and unloading children. “State law requires drivers to stop at least 25 feet from a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing,” he said. “If a driver does not stop, the bus driver will report your license plate number and a summons will be mailed to the offending driver.” Kelly, who is also Director
of Law and Public Safety, said children walking to school should always follow the same route and avoid short cuts. “Parents should walk with their children at least once at the start of school so they know the route and approximately how long it takes to travel to and from school,” he said. For children who ride their bikes to school, state law requires anyone under the age of 17 to wear an approved safety helmet while on a bike, Kelly said. Kelly also asked that both children and motorists pay

methods to safeguard our families, fortify our coastal environment, and shelter our economy from the worst impacts of climate change. I am proud that Rutgers is committed to remaining a leader in climate education and innovation to protect our coastal communities from sea level rise and more frequent and more powerful storms.” “Given the urgent threat of climate change, federal investments like this are more important than ever in helping researchers find solutions and increase the resiliency of New Jersey’s coastline,” said Sen. Booker. “This also marks an important step in ensuring Rutgers remains at the forefront of technology and innovation
while immersing students deeper into critical STEM fields. I’m proud to see such a great New Jersey institution as Rutgers serve a lead role in helping address one of the most pressing issues facing our state and our nation.” This National Science Foundation Research Traineeship award to Rutgers University will prepare the workforce that will build coastal resilience in the face of climate risks, by training individuals at the MS and PhD levels who conduct research that integrates all the elements of coastal systems, and that communicate effectively with coastal stakeholders in defining research problems, conducting research, and applying research to address real-world
resilience challenges. The project anticipates training approximately 100 MS and PhD students, including 20 funded trainees, from the Earth system sciences, social sciences, and engineering. The NRT Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training. The Traineeship Track is dedicated to ef-

Jackson Fire Company Awarded Grant
Connect With the
JACKSON TIMES
JACKSON – Fire District No. 3 was awarded a grant in the amount of $54,273 from the Department of Homeland Security through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, Congressman Chris Smith (NJ-04) announced. The grant will be used to replace an old oxygen cascade system used to fill self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for firefighters responding to emergencies. “This grant will help upgrade Jackson Fire District 3’s critical ability to provide firefighters with proper SCBA as they perform their jobs,” said Smith. “It will help them obtain equipment to keep them as safe as possible as they go into smoke-filled environments. Jackson is a large township with over 50,000 residents and this is essential for public safety. This is one of the last rounds of this funding this year and I am glad Jackson’s grant came through.” Jackson Fire District No. 3 is headquartered on Kierych Memorial Drive in the township. The new equipment will be used to fill SCBA air cylinders. District 3 Chief Timothy Carson said the federal funding will be used to replace old equipment that only last week was again in need of repairs. “On behalf of the entire Jackson Township Fire District 3 we would like to thank Congressman Smith and his staff for helping us receive the Assistance to Firefighters Grant,” said Carson. “We will be utilizing the funding to replace an over 20-year-old cascade system that continuously keeps breaking down and
causing a financial burden on the district. As a combination Fire Department made up of 50 volunteers and 11 career firefighters, we are proud to serve our residences with the best possible service and this grant will definitely help us continue our mission.” The aim of the AFG grant program is to meet the firefighting and emergency response needs of fire departments and EMS organizations across the country. Since 2001, it has helped firefighters and other first responders to obtain critically needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training and other resources needed to protect the public and emergency personnel from fire and related hazards. The funding comes through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s AFG Operations and Safety Grant Program. It is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in cooperation with the U.S. Fire Administration. The purpose of AFG is to award grants directly to fire departments and non-affiliated Emergency Medical Services organizations to protect both the health and safety of the public and first-responder personnel as well. A competitive process overseen by fire service subject matter experts awards grants to applicants whose requests are aligned with the priorities of the AFG Program. For more about the FY 2015 AFG Program please visit fema.gov/ assistance-firefighters-grant.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Treatment Of Dizzy Patients
FREEHOLD YOGA CENTER’S
Dizziness is the third most common complaint to doctors, exceeded only by headaches and lower back pain. The National Institute of Health and Johns Hopkins’s statistics indicate that dizziness is the number one complaint of patients over age 70. More importantly, dizziness and vertigo can affect people throughout a lifetime and this is clearly represented by the fact that dizziness is the third most commonly reported complaint to physicians. Dizzy patients often report that they have made several visits to physicians and were told that nothing could be done or that they would simply have to learn to live with their dizziness complaint. If you are experiencing a sensation of vertigo or spinning or unsteadiness when you are walking, I suggest you do the following: Schedule an appointment with an audiologist to have your hearing
thoroughly evaluated since your hearing and balance mechanisms are closely related. Specialized testing should be performed to evaluate your inner ear mechanism. Tests may include ENG, electrocochleography and/or computerized dynamic posturography evaluation. Specialized diagnostic testing can often pinpoint abnormalities in your vestibular system (inner ear), visual system and/or proprioceptive system (muscular skeletal). Quite often, vestibular rehabilitation or balance retraining therapy can either eliminate and/ or significantly improve the complaint of dizziness and/or balance dysfunction. If you or if you know of someone who is suffering from dizziness and/or balance dysfunction, I suggest that you make an appointment for a thorough diagnostic evaluation.
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.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Antibiotics Can Cause Diabetes, Stomach Problems And Asthma By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I saw the ugly effects of long-term antibiotics up close when we treated Sam’s bizarre symptoms that we thought were related Lyme disease, which come from tick bites. Lots of you are taking antibiotics now as well, and I want you to know that there’s so much more harm from these drugs than we ever thought possible. Everyone is aware of the assault that your stomach takes from antibiotics. You might think cramps and diarrhea are bad enough, but at least those are transient problems. Brand new animal research suggests these drugs trigger Type 1 diabetes, especially when toddlers take them. Keep in mind that back in 2015, a Denmark study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism correlated the use of antibiotics to type 2 diabetes in adults. From all of this, and other research, I think it’s safe to conclude that antibiotic usage increases risk for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Antibiotics are doled out way too easily, and some of them can destroy your nerve fibers forever! If you’re a mom or dad, you don’t need me to tell you that some doctors are pretty quick to prescribe antibiotics for your kids who present with skin rashes, ear aches, sore throats or coughs. But between you and me (and about a million people reading my article today), they are just guessing! They don’t know for sure if the bug is a virus or bacteria! The antibiotics won’t work if your infection is viral, yet the prescription is handed out almost immediately. I think pediatricians and
Lyme practitioners should rethink prescribing antibiotics in everyone who walks in the door, or at least consider shorter terms of usage. I saw the overprescribing first-hand when my kids were young, that was 20 plus years ago. Then I saw it again with Sam when he was treated for Lyme. In the United States, statistics show that approximately half of all antibiotic prescriptions written have no therapeutic basis. I personally think this is a gross underestimate. To hear that their use can trigger a life-long metabolic disorder that requires insulin shots is infuriating. Think of the economic impact on families, and the terrible loss of quality of life. Needle sticks… dietary restrictions, doctor visits forever more. Sadly, reducing diabetic complications becomes the goal, because a cure is difficult (although possible in some cases). Antibiotics wipe out probiotics, and when your microbiome is lacking friendly bacteria, the hateful ones take over. Then your immune system is compromised. Changes in enzyme production and gene expression occur. This is what ultimately leads to the metabolic disaster, making you way more susceptible to diabetes and all the serious complications like heart disease, amputation, more infections and blindness. I know some of you take them every day. I just want you to be empowered and make an informed decision with your own physician about antibiotics. Heavy usage may increase your risk of diabetes, allergies, asthma, colitis, Crohn’s and heart disease.

A woman is heartbroken over an older son (in his 50s) who is not capable of managing money. A sibling had been put in charge, and, after what sounded like much grief, refused to do it any longer. She is in her 80s and I’m sure she is concerned about the future, perhaps when she passes. I receive many similar letters, but hers touched me in a certain way. Answer: When there is someone who is incapable of managing their own affairs there are many alternatives. In this case it sounded as if this son was irresponsible with money. Mishandling money often comes with illness. People who are bipolar can have episodes of selling the farm in exchange for luxuries etc. They are not in a healthy state of mind and are delusional about outcomes and consequences. The same goes for people with addiction issues. In this Dear Joel letter, it sounded to me as if she at one time managed her

son’s money and then delegated it to another son. They both had enough and will not do it any longer. For all of you who may have similar issues, there are guardians that can be trusted to take on this role. You can start with an elder law attorney or trust and estate lawyer. Banks have departments that for a fee will manage fi nances for those who are not capable. Certain people that we meet at Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing services cannot trust their children and turn these responsibilities over to an attorney or bank or fi nancial planner. You can also start with social workers which are in abundance here in New Jersey. If there is not enough money to pay for a money manager, there is certainly enough to have a consultation with any of the above. Start somewhere and move in a different direction. Doing the same thing over and over again will accomplish nothing. Best of luck.

Inside The Law Estate Planning For Blended Families
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R. C. Shea and Associates
Some of the hardest Wills to draft are those for persons with “blended families.” A blended family is a family where one or both spouses each have children from a prior marriage. In a Will for a traditional family (one where the children are children of both spouses) most Wills will leave all assets to the surviving spouse and upon the death of the surviving spouse to their common children. However, using the same distribution scheme for a blended family may not always work. The issue arises when one of the spouses passes away and leaves all of their assets to the surviving spouse. What happens if the surviving spouse then changes their will to exclude the children of the predeceased spouse? For example, Harry Husband, who has three children from a prior marriage, marries Wilma Wife, who has two children from a prior marriage. Harry and Wilma have Wills prepared which leave all of their assets to each other and then to the children in equal shares. Harry dies and all of his assets pass to Wilma. Wilma then decides to change her Will to leave all of the combined assets to her two children thus cutting out Harry’s three children from their father’s inheritance. Upon Wilma’s death Harry’s children will not be happy to learn that they are inheriting nothing from their father. What could Harry have done in such circumstances to have prevented this? First, Harry could have left some portion of his assets directly to his children upon his death. For example, he could have stated in his Will that 50 percent of his assets go directly to his children and the remaining 50 percent be left to Wilma. In this way, his children would
have inherited their share at the time Harry dies guaranteeing their in- Marc S. Galella Esq. heritance. The problem with this method is that Wilma may not be able to continue to live receiving only 50 percent of Harry’s assets. Another alternative would be that Harry could have left his assets in a trust created in his Will for Wilma’s support during her life and upon her death the remaining balance, if any, to Harry’s children. In this way, Harry could have provided for his wife during her life and his children would inherit any monies left over after Wilma dies. The drawback to this method is that it requires that a trust be established in the Will that creates a more complicated Will and administration after Harry dies. Finally, Harry and Wilma could have prepared what is referred to as “mutual” or “contract” Wills. These are Wills that, once made, cannot be changed without the written consent of both parties. Thus, once Harry died, Wilma could not change her Will to disinherit Harry’s children, because Harry did not consent to that change. Even this method is not perfect because this may prevent Wilma from making a legitimate change to her Will after Harry dies. Persons with blended families should talk to an estate planning attorney about how they wish to provide for both their children from a prior marriage and their current spouse in making a Will.

Professional Profile Advance Memory Research Institute of New Jersey
Providing Care And Spreading Awareness For Alzheimer’s Patients And Their Loved Ones
It is commonly accepted as fact that as we age, our memory starts to go … that becoming more forgetful is just a normal part of getting older. Science now tells us that this is not true, that increasing forgetfulness is not a fact of life but a symptom of a larger issue, a disorder, disease or injur y that should be diagnosed and treated when possible. T he m o st c o mm o n diagnosis for someone experiencing markedly inc r e as in g fo r g et f ul ness as it progresses to dementia and begins to affect functionality, is Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease strikes at the core of what makes us human: our capacity to think, to love, and to remember. The disease af fects over 40 million victims worldwide, and is one of the greatest medical mysteries of our time. Effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is limited and there is no cure. Yet t h e r e i s h o p e. Dr. Sanjiv K. Sharma, his team at Advanced Memory Research Institute of New Jersey (A M R I N J) a n d o t h e r researchers in the field
continue to conduct research, develop new theories and introduce new treatments to prevent and slow the eff e c t s o f A l z h e i m e r ’s disease. AMRINJ is a complete m e m o r y c a r e c e nte r based in Toms River that provides clinical treatment to those with A l z h e i m e r ’s d i s e a s e while working with researchers and drug companies to find new, more ef fec tive treatments and ultimately a cure. W i t h h i s ex p e r t i s e specializing in geriatric medicine, and evaluation and management of memory loss and dementia, Dr. Sharma provides comprehensive support to patients, and their family members concerned with various forms of memory loss. He is committed to educating his patients, their loved ones and caregivers, and guiding them through the process of testing for Alzheimer’s and memory loss. AMRINJ of fers free on-site memory screenings to establish a clinical diagnosis, and gives patients the opportunity to participate in clinical trials where they can receive on-site treatment
free of charge as they p r ov i d e r e s e a r c h e r s with the data they need to develop new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. It is imperative that this research continue. The last new medicine approved for treating A l z h e i m e r ’s d i s e a s e w a s 15 ye a r s a g o. Once a new medicine is developed, it must be clinically tested for 10 years before it can be offered to patients through prescr iption. Patients par ticipating in clinical studies may see improvement in their symptoms through their treatment as they help to bring these new medicines to the market. Get ting involved in a clinical study early in the onset of experiencing memor y loss increases the likelihood that a patient will benefit from new treatments as they are developed. As a Geriatric Specialist, Dr. Sharma is singularly focused on treating the elderly and aging. He established the Geriatric Medical C ente r in To ms R i ver in 2000 to provide comprehensive medical care to senior citizens a f te r c o m p l et i n g h i s fellowship in Geriatric

Geriatric Specialist Dr. Sanjiv K. Sharma is dedicated to finding new, more effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease through his clinical studies at the Advanced Memory Research Institute of New Jersey (AMRINJ). Medicine from Jersey Shore Medical Univers i t y M e di c a l C e nte r. Dr. Sharma also has a practice at Elite Medical Care in Freehold. Beyond treatment, Dr. Sharma dedicates his time outside of office hours to properly educating the community on the long-term effects of Alzheimer’s disease, giving local presentations on a monthly basis to discuss the latest developments in memory research. Dr. Sharma finds that these presentations very helpful for people to gain further insight on memory loss problems they or their family members may be currently experiencing. While studies indicate that one out of eight p e o p le over t he ag e of 65 are likely to be afflicted by early signs of memory loss or forg et f ulne s s, reac hing a c e r t ain ag e in li fe doesn’t necessarily im-
ply that you are more likely to have symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. “What we know in science now is that getting forgetful is not the normal aging process.” Sharma said, “It’s one of the symptoms which are telling that you have some underlying problem.” Dr. Sharma meets at least one or two patients and family members per day to educate them on the effects and progression of memory loss to prepare them to take on this disease, and often to enroll them in a clinical study to explore new treatment options. AMRINJ’s caring staff provides a unique and supportive environment that prioritizes comfort for their patients, according to Operations Manager, Anna Brocco. When patients come for infusion treatments, they can sit and relax for an hour, enjoy a cup
of coffee and converse with other patients in a comfortable setting. “We always greet with our patients with a smile, and say, ‘Hi, how are you?’” Brocco said. “The biggest thing that we get from patients who have actually c ompleted a study is that they want to come back because they miss coming here.” Ad va n c e d M e m o r y Research Institute of New Jersey is located at 9 Mule Road, Suite E-8 and 9, Toms River, New Jersey. If you are concerned that you or yo u r l ove d o n e m ay be experiencing early signs of memory loss or forgetfulness, you can call at 732-341-9500 to schedule a Free Memory Evaluation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Listen to suggestions if they come from a reputable source and have the ring of truth. Don’t make major investments this week as they could end up being more trouble than they are worth. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Detour around defensiveness.

Avoid confrontations with partners in the week to come and don’t get your feathers ruffled if things don’t go as planned.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Classic Dish Features Bold Southwestern Flavors Perfect In Summer, Fall By Wolfgang Puck
Sweet corn bridges the seasons like almost no other vegetable I know. Mention it to food lovers during summer, and they’ll imagine ears of just-picked corn on the cob, simmered, steamed or grilled and served with butter, salt, pepper and other seasonings. In autumn, now just weeks away, thoughts of corn begin to turn toward either savory, creamy side dishes served alongside roasts or rich, creamy corn soups. I have one favorite sweet corn recipe, however, that seems to highlight the vegetable’s flavor and texture perfectly whether you make it now, when summer’s warmth is still with us, or when fall brings shorter days and cooler temperatures. My version of tortilla soup with sweet corn is a Southwestern classic I’ve served in my restaurants for years. It’s a dish I continue to enjoy preparing, always adding new variations and refi nements. You’ll fi nd that it’s very easy to make at home for your family and friends, too. It surprises me that some people don’t immediately think of tortilla soup as being based on fresh corn, since the title may suggest it includes only tortillas, the signature flatbread of Mexico and the Southwest. Tortillas do play an important role in the recipe, adding their own earthy flavor as they both thicken and garnish the soup. But ears of sweet corn are the true stars. Fresh kernels cut straight from the cob add their own bright, creamy flavor and body; and the cobs themselves, simmered with the other ingredients and then removed just before you puree the soup, give the results even more complex flavor. One of the most enjoyable aspects of a great tortilla soup is the way in which each bowlful is garnished just before serving, and I really enjoy going to town with the presentation. I add strips of crispy tortilla that I brown in the oven; crumbles of salty, tangy Mexican-style cotija cheese (which may be found now in many well-stocked supermarkets, though you could also substitute crumbled mild feta or just shredded cheddar); sliced ripe avocado; a dollop of the Mexican-style sour cream called crema, or regular sour cream; fresh cilantro sprigs; and some lime wedges, for guests to squeeze and stir into their servings to taste. As those generous garnishes suggest, this is a soup you could serve either as a fi rst course or as a main dish in its own right. It’s also a perfect recipe for vegetarians, if you leave out the chicken breast garnish and simmer it with vegetable broth; or for vegans, if you also omit the dairy garnishes (or use soy- or nut-based substitutes). Altogether, it’s perfectly versatile and just what you’d expect from a vegetable that’s equally at home in summer and autumn. TORTILLA SOUP WITH SWEET CORN Serves 6 to 8 For the soup: 2 tablespoons corn oil 3 corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) squares
1/2 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped 4 or 5 large garlic cloves, peeled, trimmed and cut in half 1 small jalapeno chile, halved, stemmed, seeded and deveined 2 teaspoons ground coriander, plus more as needed 2 teaspoons ground cumin, plus more as needed 2 ears fresh sweet corn, husks and silks removed, kernels cut from the cobs, cobs reserved 2 large ripe tomatoes, about 1 pound (500 g) total, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped 3 tablespoons tomato paste 2 quarts (2 L) organic chicken broth or vegetable broth, heated Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Pinch crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 lime 1 tablespoon honey For the garnishes: 3 corn tortillas 1 large cooked chicken breast, skinned and boned 1 ripe Hass avocado 1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled queso fresco or crumbled mild feta or shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup (125 mL) Mexican-style crema or sour cream Small fresh cilantro sprigs 1 1/2 limes, cut into wedges In a pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla squares and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, garlic and chile; saute until coated with oil, about 30 seconds. Stir in the coriander and cumin; saute until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in the corn kernels, tomatoes and tomato paste; saute briefly. Add the reserved cobs and the broth. Bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer briskly until reduced by a third, at least 30 minutes. When almost done, adjust the seasonings to taste with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and more coriander and cumin. While the soup simmers, preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Cut the tortillas for the garnishes into thin strips and arrange on a small baking sheet. Bake until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. At the same time, prepare the other garnishes. Dice the chicken. Halve and pit, then quarter and peel the avocado and cut crosswise into thin slices. Back to the soup: Discard the corn cobs from the soup. With an immersion blender, puree the soup coarsely in the pot. Or puree in batches in a blender or food processor, following manufacturer’s instructions to avoid spattering. Season to taste with more salt. Squeeze in the lime half and stir in the honey. To serve, ladle the soup into shallow heated serving bowls. Garnish with the chicken, avocado, queso fresco, crema, cilantro sprigs and tortilla strips. Serve immediately, accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing into the soup to taste.
