Uncovering The Mystery Of The Hindenburg’s Sole Ground Crew Casualty By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – Sarah Hurley was a private woman, who rarely spoke about her father and his place in history. She was born January 21, 1920 to Allen O. and Anna Moore Hagaman, their only child. Sarah Hurley’s son, Allen Hurley, said she used to say of her father that he never used foul language, never drank or smoke, and never spanked her. Aside from a few passing comments over the years, that’s about all Allen (Hindenburg - See Page 4)

Berkeley School District Tax Levy Remains Flat By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – School officials praised a budget that results in a flat tax levy while addressing some criticisms that were floating around Facebook in recent days. The total budget will decrease slightly, from $36,355,087 to $36,347,776. The amount to be raised in taxes will be $28,025,975. This is the same amount as last year. The district is paying a little bit more in debt service, from $1,930,900 to $1,945,225. The tax rate for 2017-18 will be 54.9 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, a slight increase over the current year’s 54.7 cents. However, this is because the average home assessment changed. Even though the district isn’t taxing anyone more, the numbers get a bit misleading. The average increase works out to $5 a year on the average home (Tax Levy - See Page 14)

County To Share Traffic Camera Info With Investigators
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Freeholders executed a memorandum of understanding to share license plate reader information with the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration. Glenn Miller, chief of detectives for the Ocean Coun-
ty Prosecutor’s Office, said the information reported won’t be monitored all the time, but will be used for specific incidents. “The more information you can get, the better chance of preventing a crime or solving a crime,” he said. The memorandum details the rules of who can access (Camera - See Page 5)
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The township awarded a bid for a new fire truck, as well as accepted the donation of a used ambulance at the Township Council meeting at the end of April. The bid for the fire truck came in at $542,000. It is a 1,000-gallon tank-flex pumper provided by KME Kovatch. It will be purchased for the Bayville Volunteer Fire Company. The township also received a donation of a 2002 ambulance given by one of the local volunteer squads. (Fire Truck - See Page 15)

Hindenburg:
Continued From Page 1 Hagaman’s grandson knew about him. What Hagaman even looked like remained a mystery until very recently, when long buried photos, which passed from family member to family member, were finally discovered. Allen Hurley remembers some family saying he looked a bit like his grandfather. His daughter, Courtney Hurley, said her grandmother Sarah looked like Hagaman, especially around the eyes. “My grandmother lived in the moment,” Courtney Hurley said. “We never heard her say one bad word.” Allen Hurley remembers visiting the graves of his grandparents at Cassville Cemetery with his mother. His grandfather died in 1937. His grandmother died 10 years later, when Allen Hurley was just about one year’s old. “We never pushed my mother to say anything. If she wanted to talk about it, she would have talked about it,” Allen Hurley said. His mother was 16 years old, living on Cedar Street in Lakehurst, when her father died. He was a civilian lineman who got the odd job helping to land the Hindenburg, for a dollar a day. On May 6, 1937, delayed by rains for most of the day, the Hindenburg finally made its way to Lakehurst Naval Air Station. Chicago writer and editor Patrick Russell, who operates “Projekt LZ 129,” wrote that Hagaman was assigned to the
aft ground handling team, the stern car group. That group would stand under the dirigible’s tail to anchor the ship’s lower tail fin. At 7:21 p.m., the group was directly under the Hindenburg. “Several minutes later, there was a sudden light underneath the Hindenburg’s hull, and the men in the stern car group realized that the ship was on fire. From this point onward, until he was admitted to the base hospital half an hour later, nobody really knows exactly what happened to Allen Hagaman,” Russell wrote. The Hurley family knows what little they do from newspaper clippings and Google searches, although even those stories vary. They do know that Hagaman suffered third-degree burns over most of his body. They know he died three hours after the explosion, although Allen Hurley had thought his grandfather was taken to Paul Kimball Hospital in Lakewood. Reading Russell’s article just the day before his interview with T he Manchester Times, he realized his grandfather likely died in the base infirmary. Two nurses from the base went to the Cedar Street house to take Anna and Sarah Hagaman to see their husband and father. According to records, Hagaman was in shock and uncommunicative, yet recognized his wife and daughter. Of Hagaman’s four-man group - himself, civilian crew member Charles Exel, Navy machinists Arthur Clarence Terry and Charles Henry Barnes - Hagaman
was the lone casualty. Hagaman, a Cassville native who lived in Lakehurst since 1912, was 51. Sarah Hurley kept the house on Cedar Street, renting it out for years until her son moved into it with his family in the late 1970s. “I always thought he had his services at a funeral home. But back then people had their service in their homes,” Allen Hurley said. “I didn’t realize his funeral service took place in the house.” A newspaper clipping, from an unknown source, shows pall bearers exiting the Cedar Street home with Hagaman’s casket. No one in the family would talk about Hagaman, or the Hindenburg, out of respect for Sarah Hurley. When LIFE Magazine published an entire issue on the Hindenburg tragedy in the 1960s, Sarah refused to look at it. She never saw the footage of the dirigible catching fire and crashing, and would never watch any documentaries or movies about it. She did, however, work on the base, and would even take her sons, Allen and George, to the air shows featuring dirigibles. She would not, and never did, attend the remembrance ceremonies given in memory of the Hindenburg. Sarah Hurley died in 1992 and is buried alongside her parents at Cassville Cemetery. Whatever memories she had of her father, she kept them unspoken. Allen Hurley is named for both his grandfathers, his brother George, who died in 2007, for a cousin who perished in World War II.

COUNTY PLANS $14 MILLION IN ROAD, BRIDGE PROJECTS By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Freeholders introduced a set of ordinances that would appropriate nearly $14 million in road and bridge improvements throughout the area. The total money appropriated would be $13.9 million, fueled by $13,205,000 in bonds. Freeholder John Kelly said that these are just pieces of the county’s entire plan for improving bridges and roads. “It will probably be $25-30 million by year’s end,” he said. Township engineer John Ernst gave an overview of the kinds of projects done. Repaving often has workers mill off two inches and put another two inches down, he said. When the street is being worked on, they try to address other problems while the street is open. Therefore, they might pick that time to fix pipes if that is
needed. This could also involve restriping, pedestrian crosswalks and handicap ramps at the corners. Stormwater improvements usually involve drainage but could include filters to clean up where the water is going. The traffic control work could be a new signal, or an improvement of an existing one. It could also include radar signs that tell drivers if they are speeding. There are about 450 traffic signals in the county right now, he said Bridge work includes design and repair. There are approximately 250 bridges in the county, he said. Many of them are 40 to 50 years old and are made from weaker material than they can be made from today. Part of the money will go toward obtaining state permits and licenses. Projects will be done in the following towns: Toms River: Repaving on Kettle Creek Road from Hooper Avenue to Green Isle; on North

Assemblyman Rumpf Named To NJ State Beach Erosion Commission Capitol Comments Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf 9th Legislative District
N EW J ERSEY – 9th Legislative District Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf has been named to the New Jersey State Beach Erosion Commission by the Speaker of the New Jersey General Assembly.
“As a representative of a legislative district that experienced widespread damage by Superstor m Sandy, I feel serving on the State Beach Erosion Commission will enable me to better represent the
interests of my constituents for whom this is a significant issue. “When assessing the devastation caused by Superstor m Sandy, it was unmistakable that those municipalities where beach replen ish ment projects were more recently completed were more resilient against the Superstor m than those municipalities in need of beach replenishment. Effectively, this is a testament to the overall
success of the state’s beach replenishment program. “It’s important to note that beach replenishment projects are not only essential to public safety and the protection of property. Funding for these projects is also a sound investment in one of the most critical areas of the state economy, as the Jersey shore remains a top tourist destination for this region of the country.” In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, Assemblyman
Rumpf, along with his 9th District colleagues, Senator Christopher J. Connors and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove, wholeheartedly supported Governor Christie’s 2013 Executive Order that allowed the state to move forward with dune construction projects to protect New Jersey’s coastal communities. More than five years before Sandy hit the Jersey Coast with dest r uctive force, members of the 9th Dis-
MacArthur Announces $12 Million In Grants To Combat Opioid Crisis From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – On April 24, Congressman MacArthur, co-chair of the Bipar-
tisan Heroin Task Force, announced that New Jersey will receive $12,995,621
in new funding to combat opioid addiction. This funding is the first of two rounds of grants provided for in the 21st Century Cures Act, which established the State Targeted Response to the Opioid Crisis Grants program. “Last year, the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force advo-
cated for passage of the 21st Century Cures Act, which provides support for states to combat this crisis,” said MacArthur. “Since then, I and my fellow Task Force Members have been calling on Congress to fully fund this critical piece of legislation. This grant money will help our local and state
government combat the heroin and opioid crisis that has devastated so many families and communities in New Jersey. I’m so grateful that the Bipartisan Task Force was able to work together to help New Jersey and states across the country get additional funding to fight substance abuse, and I
trict delegation were prime sponsors of the legislation, signed into law, that established the Coastal New Jersey Evacuation Task Force. Assembly ma n Ru mpf served as Vice-Chairman of the Task Force, which the delegation used as a forum to advocate for additional transportation funding to the area following the destruction and chaos that ensued after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast.
look forward to continuing to fight for the support our communities need.” Funding will be issued to all 50 states, the District of Columbia and six U.S. territories. It will support a comprehensive array of prevention, treatment and recovery services, depending on the needs of recipients.

Down The Shore By Mary Jo Austin
GOOD VISION AND DRIVING SAFETY
It is important that drivers know that age-related eye diseases and refractive errors can narrow their range of vision, increase their sensitivity to glare, and restrict light’s ability to reach the retina. Any of these symptoms can compromise driving ability and impede highway safety. One study illustrating these potential dangers involved licensed adult drivers who wore lenses that simulated refractive blur and cataracts. Researchers found that the study’s participants with simulated blurred vision could only recognize a pedestrian 52% of the time; those with simulated cataracts could only do so 30% of the time. Drivers with normal vision recognized pedestrians at distances that averaged 3.6 times farther than drivers with blurred vision and 5.5 times farther than drivers with cataracts. Our eyes are one of the most important safety features we have when driving. They allow us to position the vehicle, gauge our speed, see potential hazards and maneuver the vehicle. About 90 percent of the information we use when driving comes from our vision. To learn more, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622. We emphasize cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment, dry eye syndrome, macular degeneration and pediatric ophthalmology.

OCEAN COUNTY – Delores or “Del” as she prefers to be called, is a spirited and gracious woman who has come to appreciate the helping hands of Catholic Charities’ Fix It program. An independent woman who retired from a long career as the “go to” person running the busy front office of Howell High School, Del is an adept problem solver. But after a contractor she hired told her the hot water heater he repaired needed a costly new enclosure to protect it, Del called Catholic Charities’ Fix It program about the “small repair.” John McCrone, Fix It program coordinator, sent volunteer Tom Holzer out to meet Del and assess the repairs. He later joked that the job turned out to be a bit more involved, but said that making the repairs needed to the hot water heater door turned into an opportunity to meet a delightful woman. According to John, “Tom got the job done and returned to her house again to fix her doorbell and a drafty front door. Del was so happy that she made a donation to the Fix It program.” Tom, a recently retired civil engineer, heard about the Fix It program from a neighbor. The easygoing “handyman” thought volunteering would be a good way to help out people in the community like his own parents. “I’m so glad I got involved volunteering for the Fix It program,” said Tom. “As an engineer, I enjoy problem-solving, but the best part is meeting people like Del. Seeing how happy and relieved she is after I have made a small repair just makes me feel good.” John explained that as a senior woman living on her own, Del represents 85 percent of the Fix It program’s clients. “These people have given so much throughout their lives to their jobs, schools, families, churches and communities. It is an honor to have the opportunity to give back to them.” John is always seeking new volunteers and assures them that they don’t need to be full-fledged “handymen” like Tom. “Most of the repairs are very minor, such as changing a light bulb the client cannot reach.” To learn more about volunteering with the Fix It program, call John at 732-363-5322, ext. 3234. The Fix It program is available to seniors residing in Ocean County. Clients are responsible for the cost of parts, but the labor and tools are provided by Fix It. The Fix It program is run by Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton, and all services are available to individuals and families in need, regardless of religious affiliation.

Tax Levy:
Continued From Page 1 assessed at $199,500, but most residents won’t feel that. Included in the budget are two more staff and a possible redesign of the Bayville School’s parking lot. The budget includes a world language teacher, Superintendent James Roselli said. The district was using Rosetta Stone, a world language program. However, due to a state mandate, they will be bringing back a world language teacher they had let go in the past when the district “was going in a different direction.” A second music teacher will also be re-introduced to BTES. There used to be two in the past. “Typically, when it’s gone, it’s gone forever,” he said, so the district was fortunate to bring these positions back. The thanked the board of education for their assistance in this. No other positions were created or removed. “We don’t want to ever lose any existing programs,” he said. Various programs that are continuing are: extended school year for special education students, Camp Paw, full day kindergarten, half day preschool, one Chromebook per student, and a Berkeley Township police officer in school. There will be a new reading program for grades kindergarten through 5th, and a district-wide fiber upgrade to increase network speed. A capital improvement program is in the works for the Bayville School’s parking lot, but the specifics are still in the planning stages. “It’s becoming a bit of a safety concern,” he said. Being right on Route 9, it is a heavy traffic area, with not a lot of park-
ing. This makes it difficult when there are events at night or during the day. Addressing Controversy A message critical of the district’s policies was circulating through social media recently, and Roselli took the time to address some of the statements made. A Facebook post stated that technology education would be removed as a special, that the 6th graders won’t be moving through rooms like they would in middle school, and that math education won’t be split up into ability levels. Roselli said these were all discussions that were had, but were not made permanent. A curriculum meeting will be held soon to address some of the residents’ concerns. However, he warned that nothing has gone beyond the discussion stage. The 6th grade graduation ceremony was criticized in the post as well: “What is the need for a large drawn-out spectacle, to be held at night, and again requiring more money tossed out, to pay the teachers, the custodians, etc. when it can be done during the day at school without additional cost? Is it truly for the children, or for the faces of the dignitaries at large?” Roselli said the graduation will be held at Central Regional Middle School at 6 p.m. on June 15. He said it is a fitting send-off to students leaving the district, and then heading to Central. “It’s the culmination of 7-plus years of education,” he said. Central was chosen as a location because the elementary schools would not have the space to fit all of the kids and their families. “We really want the kids to go out with a lasting memory of their time at Berkeley Township,” he said.

Fire Truck:
Continued From Page 1 “The township can use an additional and we hope to save some money by buying used,” Business Administrator John Camera said. The town has a full time paid squad that started a few years ago. The ambulance needed some work, but the township has mechanics who can do the work. It made more sense to have that happen rather than buying a brand new one for $150,000, he said. The township might look for another gently used ambulance, he said. In this particular case, they knew that the previous owners took care of it. New Stop Signs In other news, the township will likely be installing new stop signs at two intersections. There was an ordinance introduced that will place stop signs at the intersection of Aikens Street and Buckley Lane in Bayville. There was also an adoption of an ordinance for stop signs at the intersection of Barbuda Street and Brakenbury Drive in Holiday City. Farmers Market News The township Farmers Market has three new vendors, Councilman Angelo Guadagno said: The Empanada Guy, which sells various empanadas, Dags Dippers, which sells fruits and vegetables with dips and toppings, and Jersey Charm Coffee, which produces single-serve coffee cups.

Zoning Board Appointments John MacMoyle was appointed as a regular member of the zoning board of adjustment by the Township Council. It is a four-year term. He had been an alternate. His promotion led to a vacancy, which was filled by Jason Gerb. He will be the
alternate member. Both positions end on Dec. 31, 2017. Town Communication A Berkeley resident, Scott Segal, said he had been caught up in the confusing regulations when he had to raise his home after Superstorm Sandy. He said it would be helpful for people to have a way to receive township information. There was a lot of different information and conflicting
stories of what to do, and it would have been helpful if the town provided some guidance. He suggested an emailer run by the town to let people know things. The council did not address an email system for general information, but advised him there is a Nixle system that will contact residents in case of emergencies. To sign up for that, fill out the online form on the township’s website, twp.berkeley.nj.us.

Tips For Hearing In Noisy Situations
Those without hearing loss can have problems hearing at parties, particularly if there is background noise. Having a hearing loss makes it even harder to understand speech when other noises are present. Here are some strategies to maximize your ability to communicate with others: 1. In restaurants. Choose a table off to one side or in the corner of the restaurant. It is more difficult to hear in the middle of a restaurant. 2. In meetings or lectures. Normally, it is best to sit in front of, but not too close to, the speaker. Some lecture halls have assisted listening devices you can borrow.
3. Face the speaker. Move closer to the person you want to hear and watch his/her lips. 4. Listen to one person. Don’t try to listen to the whole group and pick out multiple conversations simultaneously. It just won’t work. 5. Help from the speaker. It is important to speak slowly and clearly. When asked to repeat, say it again more clearly or rephrase what you have already said. 6. Regular check-ups. Have your hearing aid cleaned and checked every six months. An adjustment may improve your ability to understand in groups.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Gluten’s Impact On Your Mood And Skin By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
There are billions of pills swallowed each year, with the sole intent to reduce stomach acid. I’m referring to the category of acid blockers and antacids. Medications in this category play a huge role in gluten-related illness due to their well-documented interference with the digestion of your food. Undigested food proteins like gluten can leak into your bloodstream and cause problems all over your body. I think these medications are causing a lot of gluten sensitivity (not celiac which is autoimmune). With acid blockers, how are you supposed to fully digest your meals without your stomach acid? You can’t. Soon I will tell you about three common symptoms that come from eating gluten-based bread, pasta, cookies, muffins, bagels, soy sauce and so forth. When the protein gluten breaks into smaller proteins (gliadin for example), it leaves your digestive tract through microscopic holes and get into your bloodstream. Therein lies the problem. Your body makes antibodies to gliadin and attacks whatever tissue that gliadin has attached itself too. Your immune system is just doing its job, attacking the invader, but it’s your body that pays the price. For years we’ve heard anecdotally about people who test negative for celiac disease but whose symptoms dramatically improve when gluten (and preferably all grains) are eliminated. We are now starting to get some answers, because a separate condition called Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) has recently been officially identified. Patients with NCGS will absolutely test negative for the autoimmune condition of celiac disease,
because they don’t have a classic allergy to wheat. But people with NCGS experience all the same unpleasant symptoms, and respond favorably to a gluten-free diet. NCGS is more common than celiac. I’m sure you know that gluten sensitivity contributes to irritable bowel problems, obesity as well as rapid transit time (ie. you probably have diarrhea and gas soon after eating!) But there are other common symptoms you’ve probably not considered. So with that said, I’d recommend six months off gluten (and preferably all grains) if you have any of the following: 1. Brain fog. Perhaps you keep forgetting thoughts mid-sentence and word finding difficulties? Cognitive dysfunction is extremely common among gluten sensitive folks. 2. Skin Problems. A painful rash called dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is unique to celiac disease, but NCGS can also drive other common skin conditions, itchy unexplained rashes, rosacea and eczema. 3. Bad Moods. Gluten can impact your neurotransmitters. Our brains are exquisitely sensitive to fluctuations in our environment and our body’s general health. The neurotransmitters serotonin and GABA are more prevalent in your gastrointestinal tract than in your brain. If your gut lining is damaged due to extended use or misuse of potent acid blockers, or gluten, then your brain chemicals are imbalanced. This leads to depression and anxiety. If you think you have problems with gluten, the simplest, most inexpensive thing to do is reconsider your antacids, and stop eating gluten for six months and see how you feel.

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)
As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm. If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.
Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Remember Why There Is A Memorial Day Dear Joel, Memorial Day has become an excuse for a long weekend of partying, and that makes me mad. Oh sure, many towns have parades and almost every town has a wreath laying service, but how many people really remember? I make sure my family attends our town’s wreath-laying every year to reflect on the great sacrifices of our brave veterans, but it breaks my heart to see how few people actually do attend. I would like to encourage everyone to take a few minutes away from their barbeques to remember the reason we have the holiday in the fi rst place. Patriot’s pride in Point Pleasant Dear Patriot, You are a true American. I cannot say it often enough, the brave men and women who have served our country and in some cases paid the ultimate price to defend our freedoms should be remembered every day, not just once a year. I
challenge our readers to join you in their local commemorations. Remember f lags are to be flown at half-mast until noon. Also observe the National Moment of Remembrance. In 2000, a Congressional Resolution and a Presidential Proclamation, designated 3 p.m. every Memorial Day as an opportunity to pause in national unity for one minute of silence. Purchase a poppy and wear it with pride. There are many organizations and ways to donate time, money, items, and prayers to veterans. You can start by looking at www. memorialdayfoundation.org or calling your local VA. I applaud you and our great service men and women.

New Jersey’s Wrongful Death Law
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael J. Deem, Esq. & Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea and Associates
The success of a Wrongful Death claim depends not only on the merits of your case, but also your attorney’s knowledge and understanding of New Jersey’s Wrongful Death law. Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates has lectured to New Jersey’s Trial Lawyers about handling Wrongful Death claims. A Wrongful Death action is a statutory cause of action that permits recovery of pecuniary losses for the death of a family member. (N.J.S.A. 2A:31-1). This statute does not permit recovery for emotional distress, pain and suffering and other types of non-pecuniary losses. However, non-pecuniary losses may be recovered under New Jersey’s Survival Act which we will address in next month’s publication. The Wrongful Death Act benefits the heirs of the deceased while the Survival Act provides a remedy to a decedent’s executor or administrator. The Wrongful Death statute does not go into very much detail when it comes to defining the types of pecuniary damages that are recoverable when a family member is killed due to the negligence of another. Fortunately, our Courts have been fairly creative defining the types of damages recoverable in a Wrongful Death action since the statute does not go into much detail in defining pecuniary loss. Wrongful Death claims seek to recover compensation for the value of pecuniary damages such as loss of household services, loss of companionship, advice, guidance, counsel and loss of earning capacity. Only attorneys with a firm grasp of the law will routinely recover maximum pecuniary compensation for their clients. Pecuniary losses under the Wrongful Death Act are recoverable only by the decedent’s next of kin-heirs at law. Recovery of pecuniary loss does not become a part of the decedent’s estate. In fact, the statute specifically states that “the amount recovered in proceedings under this chapter shall be for the exclusive benefit of the persons entitled to take any intestate personal property of the decedent…” Therefore, the first step is to determine the class of people entitled to take under the intes-
tacy laws of New Jersey. (See N.J.S.A. 3B:5-3 and N.J.S.A.3B:5-4). Once the Michael J. Deem Esq. heirs have been identified, the next step is to determine which heirs were “dependent” on the decedent at the time of his/her death. In fact, the Act states that “if any person so entitled… were dependent on the decedent at his death, they shall take the same as though they were the sole persons so entitled, in such proportions as shall be determined by the court…” What this means is that it may not be enough that you are a legal heir under the intestacy statute, because any heir that was also dependent on the decedent at the time of his death will take as though they were the sole person entitled and to the exclusion of all other identified heirs who were not dependent. Dependency must be actual and not merely legal. Pecuniary damages may not be implied from the relationship with the decedent. Although it may be partial it must be of a substantial degree. For example, occasional gifts made by a parent to a child, without more, does not establish dependency. In essence, your level of dependency may entitle you to greater percentage of the recovery than the next dependent heir. If you or a loved one have any questions about a potential Wrongful Death case, please contact Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates. The law firm of R.C.

Ocean County Schedules Free Document Shredding Days
OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is offering residents 22 different opportunities to get rid of their residential documents in a secure and safe way. “Ocean County’s Residential Document Shredding Program kicked off on April 8 at the Berkeley Township Recycling Center in Berkeley Township,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the county’s award-winning recycling program. “That is the
first of 22 different dates for the popular program that is held throughout the County. We have added four more dates this year. “This program provides a great service to our residents by shredding personal documents and information that otherwise may wind up in regular trash,” Little said. “With identity theft on the rise, this offers security to our residents and also keeps all of this paper out of the Ocean County Landfill. It’s a win, win.”
In 2016, a total of 102 tons or 204,000 pounds of documents were collected and shredded during the 18 collection dates. The amount collected is up 16,000 pounds. “Ocean County is a large county and we make every effort to make this program easily accessible to all our citizens,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “This program has been embraced by all of our residents who want to rid their homes of personal papers without worrying
about them falling into the hands of people who may use it for the wrong reasons.” “This program was first started in 2008 and has grown in popularity,” Little said. The work is being performed by Autoshred of Toms River. Residents are not required to register for this free program and can bring six boxes or bags each day. The program is for all paper documents and paper forms. Paperclips and staples do not have to be removed. Little noted the shredding unit features an automatic feeding and dumping system, eliminating the need for human contact with a resident’s documents. Events will run their complete scheduled time or until the truck is full. The truck capacity is 8,000 pounds. Little said that for residents who prefer to shred their documents at home, Ocean County offers drop-off boxes at both County recycling centers for shredded office papers. “Shredded office paper should not be placed with curbside recyclables and instead should be brought to the drop-off boxes at the county recycling centers,” Little said. “The shredded paper cannot be effectively sorted by the County’s recyclable materials processing facility. I encourage our residents to recycle it separately which allows us to produce a viable, marketable commodity.” Drop-off boxes can be accessed by Building 105 at the Ocean County Southern Recycling Center, 379 Haywood Road, Stafford Township or Building 68 at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center at 601 New Hampshire Ave., Lakewood. Little also suggested residents contact their municipal recycling centers to learn whether there is a local drop-off box for shredded office papers. The following is a list of dates, times and locations for the Residential Document Shredding Program: May 13, Point Pleasant Recycling Center, Arthur Ave., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 20, Seaside Park Public Works Garage, 1201 Barnegat Ave., 9 to 11 a.m. June 3, Lakehurst Public Works Garage, 800 Myrtle St., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 10, Stafford Township, Southern Recycling Center, 379 Haywood Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 17, Brick Township Public Works Yard, 836 Ridge Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 24, Barnegat Township Municipal Complex, 900 West Bay Ave., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 14, Lakewood Township Public Works Yard, 1 America Ave., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 22, Ocean Gate Municipal Building Parking Lot, 801 Ocean Gate Ave., 9 to 11 a.m. July 29, Ocean Township Municipal Complex, 50 Railroad Ave., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. August 12, Lacey Township Recycling Center, 820 Municipal Lane, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. August 19, Jackson Township Rear Municipal Building Lot, 95 West Veterans Highway, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. August 25, Toms River Township, Riverwood Park, 250 Riverwood Drive, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. September 16, Long Beach Township Recycling Center, 7910 Long Beach Blvd., 9 to 11 a.m. September 23, Island Heights Public Works Garage, Lake and Laurel Aves., 9 to 11 a.m. September 30, Point Pleasant Beach Public Works Yard, 301 Cooks Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 14, Manchester Township Public Works Yard, 1360 Route 70, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 21, Eaglewood Township Municipal Complex, 146 Division St., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 28, Beachwood Municipal Complex, 1600 Pinewald Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information on the program, contact the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management at 732-506-5047.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of May 6 - May May 12 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep it clean to remain serene. In the week ahead you may excel at organizational duties. Exercise personal discipline to put things in order, straighten out closets, or finish up a hobby project so you can put it away. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Schemes and dreams may gnaw at the seams of your consciousness. You may build up the momentum to begin something of great value by the end of the week. Don’t change your goals or alter objectives. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Force yourself to forgive those who disappoint or betray your trust. You might yearn for excitement or a change of pace as this week unfolds, but your greatest pleasure may come from being with those you love. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You shouldn’t mix business with pleasure in the week ahead. Your fantasies might be fabulous but you shouldn’t share them with a co-worker, business contact, or anyone you don’t know very well and trust completely. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Warm up your engines. By the end of the week your ambitions could be ready to take off like a race car. New contacts and acquaintances could offer feasible ideas about investment strategies or add to your list of hobbies. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Snap judgments from the past could snap at your heels in the week ahead. Your assessment of people and situations could be slightly impaired. Your judgment about finances and purchases, however, could be better than usual.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Presenting a façade of sweetness and light might endear you to some. Some people, however, may not be impressed. As the week unfolds show you have some solid experience and talents to go along with your social skills. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do it by the book. If you bend the rules you might risk serious criticism. In the week ahead you may be able to get away from the grindstone if you hold up your part of a bargain, meet deadlines, or exceed quotas. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Something borrowed, something new, might make you blue. As this week begins you may have some great ideas but you should not impulsively try them on for size. Wait until the end of the week to make key changes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you rub the lamp the genie may refuse to go back to the bottle. The ideas you make known to others could have unexpected or costly consequences early this week. Take your time about making irrevocable decisions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t compare apples to oranges in the week ahead. By comparing yourself to others you may only be aware of what you lack. Unexpected demands on your piggy bank could cause you to act on an impulsive idea. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your week ahead might be enhanced by paying attention to lessons of the past. Avoiding complications might consist of something as minor as stopping at a red light and looking both ways after it turns green.

When You Don’t Have Time To Wait, Make This Seasonal Poultry Dish, Pronto By Wolfgang Puck
Thinly pounded slices of meat or poultry can become one of the most versatile ingredients in your cooking repertoire. Probably the dish for which my native Austria is most famous, for example, is Wiener schnitzel, literally “Viennese slice” - a thinly pounded piece of meat that, in the style popular in the Austrian capital, is coated with breadcrumbs and deep-fried. Other kinds of schnitzel might be sauteed, like the “Holsteiner” schnitzel, garnished with caper butter, anchovies and a fried egg. Dishes based on cutting, pounding and cooking thin slices don’t end there. The French have various kinds of escalopes, the English their cutlets. And in Italy, similar dishes are referred to as scaloppini, a preparation of which I’ve long been a fan, growing up as I did not far from the northeastern Italian border. This leads me at last to the following recipe. It’s a perfectly light main dish for a springtime supper: chicken scaloppini with lemon butter. You’ll be surprised by how quickly you can put this elegant, delicious chicken dish on your dinner table. Prepping the scaloppini is surprisingly simple. Start by purchasing boneless, skinless chicken breast halves. Then, cut each one in half crosswise, with the knife blade at a 45-degree angle to help achieve as uniform a thickness as possible for each half; and, one piece at a time, place in a heavy-duty plastic bag and pound the chicken with a meat mallet or the bottom of a small, heavy pan until you’ve flattened it to a uniform 1/4- to1/3-inch (6-to-8-mm) thickness. From that point on, the cooking of such thin pieces happens very quickly, and the rich, lemony pan sauce that finishes the dish couldn’t be easier to make. The preparation’s versatility doesn’t end there either. You can simply change the deglazing liquid to Marsala or Sherry or another fortified or regular wine, or to a different kind of citrus juice, or to broth enriched with a touch of cream, and you’ll wind up with a wide range of other delicious dishes. Or change up the recipe even more by substituting pork, lamb, veal, or turkey breast. The accompaniment offers yet another opportunity for variety too. Many people like to serve the scaloppini with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up every last drop of the sauce. Sauteed spinach, buttered noodles or a simple salad would be delicious too. With one simple technique, you can dra-
matically expand your options for what to serve to for dinner. And whatever creative choices you make, your delicious meal will be ready to serve in less than half an hour, leaving you so much more time to enjoy the pleasures of springtime. CHICKEN SCALOPPINI WITH LEMON BUTTER Serves 4 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, each 5 to 6 ounces (150 to 185 g), cut crosswise and diagonally into 2 equal pieces 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to coat chicken breasts Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra as needed, chilled and cut into pieces 3/4 cup (185 mL) dry white wine 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons honey 2 1/2 tablespoons drained capers Good-quality canned chicken broth, or water, if needed Chopped fresh Italian parsley (optional garnish) Coat the chicken breasts with a little oil. Place 2 halves, spaced apart, in a large heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to scaloppini 1/4 to 1/3 inch (6 to 8 mm) thick. Repeat with the remaining halves. Arrange the scaloppini on parchment paper. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dust very lightly on both sides with flour. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the scaloppini, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once and adding a little butter as needed to prevent sticking. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Spoon excess fat from the skillet. Add the wine, stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits, and simmer until the liquid has reduced to a glaze. Add the lemon juice, honey and capers. Bring to a boil and gradually whisk in 6 tablespoons of butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk in a little broth or water, if needed, to reach a thick but fluid sauce consistency. Return the scaloppini to the pan and turn them to coat with the sauce. Transfer to a platter or individual plates, with a salad or another accompaniment of your choice. Spoon the sauce over and around the chicken and garnish with parsley.
