By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The Grim Reaper made visits to Jackson Memorial High School classrooms to show what happens when students drive under the influence of alcohol.

On April 28, the students who “died” – drunk driving, distracted driving – told their stories of how they made the wrong decisions, how they killed their friends, and maybe themselves. How

those who died will never see graduation, college, marriage, children. Those who survived have to face the guilt, the families, and a loss of freedom behind bars.

The Grim Reaper program brings to life the often-deadly consequences of drunk or distracted driving to district high schoolers, to give them pause that, indeed, these things can happen to them.

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 Hagaman’s (Crew - See Page 4)

Municipal Budget Passes In Jackson

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Without comment from the dais or the public, the Jackson Township Council unanimously passed the proposed $42.4 million budget for 2017.

The average homeowner, whose home is worth $326,489, will see a monthly increase of $2.88 in their municipal tax bill, a total of $34.61 for the year.

The amount to be raised by taxation will b e $31,80 0,458.30, up f rom last year’s $30,927,427.63.

“If you look over the last several years, our budget is the very definition of fiscal restraint and responsibility. Over the last several years we’ve reduced our debt and maintained very minimal spending increases. Our debt is down in the low $20 million range. When I first came in office it was $36 million,”

Councilman Scott Martin said after the April 25 meet i ng closed.

“The mayor and administration have done a great job in maintaining fiscal discipline and I applaud their efforts and hope this will continue.”

Martin continued that services remain intact or have increased with the expansion of the police department.

“We’re not only being fiscally responsible, we’re also protecting the residents at the same time,” Mar tin said.

Council president Kenneth Bressi said he is pleased with the budget.

“This goes along with what’s been going on for quite a few years now, where we stayed under the 2 percent with everything, not cut services, and still move forward, and yet still (Budget - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 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 Pat rick 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 Two.

Continued From Page 1 $552,603. Officials said this means the total increase was $1,695,971.

The amount to be raised by taxes will be $81,522,303, up 2.84 percent from last year.

“We’re confident when we look at [the budget]…we’re in a very good place,” district superintendent Dr. Stephen Genco said.

Genco called the budget a “blueprint” to where the district wants to be, saying the

Budget:

We’re moving along with

district is in a “good place” compared to similar districts.

The budget includes: curriculum updates; k-5 social studies and science classroom library books; science supplies for k-5; fiveyear plan summer curriculum; continued existing programs; new summer library program for elementary students; and district-wide art and music supplies, including supplies for the new Academy of the Arts.

For technology, this budget includes online testing requirements, increased use of digi-

tal resources for textbooks and technology; replacement of high school projectors and parts; replacing obsolete printers; district switches and servers; “broken, damaged or out of warranty” staff laptops; Mac computers at high schools, replacing obsolete computers in middle school television studios and video production labs; purchase of Promethean Boards in elementary and middle schools through lease-purchase agreement.

The budget maintains and expands special

education, supporting inclusion opportunities in the elementary schools, and preschool inclusion programs and “child care opportunities.”

The district has budgeted $450,800 for “Tier 1 Projects,” projects that must be completed. One mandated project that will cost approximately $125,000 is the sewer plant decommissioning at the school transportation property.

The full budget presentation can be found at jacksonsd.org/Page/9801.

different projects and not cutting services and maintaining a mostly level tax on the township side.”

The township saw mandated costs again increase: salaries and wages increased $689,069.58; health insurance, $115,271; and retirement payments, $112,789.41.

There were decreases from last year’s expenses as well. Snow removal costs dropped $188,000; judgments, $105,000; bond principal, $27,000; and landfill/solid

waste costs, $40,000.

Anticipated revenue dipped 2.46 percent, from $10.9 million to $10.6 million.

As with other towns and school districts, Jackson’s mandated costs continue to increase. Services haven’t been cut, and the township has worked to stay under its allowed 2 percent cap. But how long can that be maintained before the township finds itself on what school superintendent Stephen Genco called “the fiscal cliff.”

“It’s something we worry about all the time. To say what’s going to happen five years from now is impossible. But it’s something we’re looking at,” Bressi said.

“I’m hoping, with the land use and development going on, that that won’t happen to us. If we can get a movement with [Jackson] Twenty-One out there, and get some of these other properties, that will help us sustain what we’re doing and maybe move forward.”

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 County 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 this information and why.

“This is really to put controls on how the information is used,” he said.

The county will have one or two officers who will be the only ones allowed to access the information. On the other side of the coin, the DEA will have certain people with access to the information.

The information would be accessed primarily for first and second degree crimes, like child abductions, terrorism, or murder, he said.

“We’re not mining information. We’re looking for something. ‘Let’s see if this car has ever been near this murder,’ “ he used as an example.

County Plans $14 Million In Road, Bridge Projects

By Chris Lundy O C E A N COU N T Y – T he O c e a n 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 i nvolve rest r ipi ng, pedest r ia n 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 traff ic 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 Br idge work i ncludes desig n a nd 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.

Par t 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 Nor th Maple, from Route 9 to New Hampshi re Avenue; and on Hickory Street, from Route 9 to New Hampshire. Stormwater improvements to the intersection of Church Road and Old Freehold Road, and Church Road and Todd. Widening of Old Freehold Road.

Jackson: Stormwater improvements to W hitesville Culver t. Traff ic control work at the intersection of Hope Chapel Road and W hitesville Road. Bridge work on Grawton Bridge.

Ocean County Freeholders Continue Their Long-Standing Opposition To Drilling Off The New Jersey Coast

Freeholder Forum From The Desk Of The Ocean County Freeholders OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders has reiterated its long-standing opposition to any drilling for oil or natural gas off of the New Jersey coast.

In an Apr il 28 let ter to Senators Robert Menendez and Cory Booker, Freeholder Director Jo-

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders will distribute almost $600,000 in recycling revenue sharing to municipalities participating in the county’s recycling program.

“An increase in the average price of some commodities like aluminum and old newspapers and an increase in the tonnage of recyclables collected has resulted in this revenue amount,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who is liaison to the county’s recycling program. “By recycling, our residents are helping the environment and their communities.”

Under the Ocean County Recycling Revenue Sharing Program, municipalities are provided a portion of the recycling revenues based on the amount recycled and the market price of the material.

“Ocean County residents continue to embrace recycling at home,” said Ocean

seph H. Vicari, writing on behalf of the entire board, expressed concern that Washington was once again exploring the idea of offshore drilling.

“The residents of Ocean County and of the entire state of New Jersey realize that our coast is a natural treasure; a gift to be en-

joyed by everyone both today and for generations to come,” Vicari said in the letter. “On behalf of the entire Board of Freeholders, I am writing to you to once again voice my continuing opposition to any drilling for oil or natural gas off of our coastline.”

The letter was also sent to Reps. Chris Smith, Tom MacArthur and Frank LoBiondo.

“As the summer season begins and tourism kicks into high gear, I want everyone to know that we will continue to strongly and vocally oppose any

plan to industrialize our coastli ne,” Vica r i said in the letter. “Tourism is the lifeblood of our local economy. As a ser ving Freeholder for the past 36 years, I join with our business owners, from the largest hotels to the smallest Mom & Pop stands, in saying that we will fight against any endeavor that places our environment and our economy at risk.”

Vicari said history shows that any damage to the environment spells disaster to the local economy.

He recalled the damage done during the 1980s and

1990s when waste from New York City and Northern New Jersey washed up on the county’s beaches.

“Many of our local businesses suffered because of the continuing news reports of the wash-ups,” he said.

Vicari added that an industrial accident off the coast would impact not only the ocean, but the bays and surrounding ecosystems as well.

He pointed to the effects of oil spills along the gulf coast.

It took years to clean up that spill and for those communities to recover Vicari

Recycling Continues To Pay In Ocean County County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “The Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management with Freeholder Little do an outstanding job in making certain recycling prog rams are available and easily accessible to everyone.”

The $597,920 is from the second half of 2016 when municipalities collected 43,077 tons of recyclables.

The payout for the period was $13.88 per ton.

Du r ing the f irst half of 2016, Ocean County collected 37,883 tons of recyclables with a payout of $2.57 per ton.

“Recycli ng i n Ocean County continues to provide a host of environmental and economic benefits,” Little said. “One of the greatest benefits is keeping the material out of the landfill and preserving the space there.

“As a result of these recycling efforts, municipalities collectively saved $3.2 million in the second

half of 2016 by not dumping those materials in the landfill where they would have to pay a tipping fee,” Little said. “That is a substantial savings.”

Little noted that since Ocean County began the Recycling Revenue Sharing program in 1995, the County has returned more than $16 million to its municipalities.

The amount ret ur ned to the towns, under the revenue sharing program is based on the amount of recyclables collected and brought to the County and the price per commodity in the current market.

“These prices change all the time,” Little said.

“During the first half of 2017 we saw a decline in some prices. The second half came with some better numbers. It is the county’s intention to be able to return money to our towns.”

For instance, aluminum is up $428 to $1,223 per ton, while colored plastic is down $24 to $413 per

ton and old newspapers are up $37 a ton to $121 in comparison to the same period in 2015 when the payout per ton was $6.45.

Little said towns can use the money as needed although many invest it back into the recycling program.

The largest recycling revenue sharing checks will go to Toms River, Lakewood, Brick, Stafford and Jackson townships.

“And, while these are the county’s largest municipalities, I applaud all of ou r tow ns, even the smallest, for their ongoing

recycling efforts,” Little said.

T he tow ns a nd t he amounts they are scheduled to receive are: Barnegat Township, $19,738; Barnegat Light, $2,494; Bay Head, $1,791; Beach Haven, $7,398; Beachwo o d , $7,0 03; B e r ke ley Township, $30,685; Brick Township, $69,941; Eagleswood Tow nship, $1,544; Harvey Cedars, $2,185; Island Heights, $1,680; Jackson Township, $36,405; Lacey Township, $30,382; Lakehurst, $1,856 and Lakewood Township, $100,802.

said referring to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill from an offshore drilling platform.

A major spill off of the New Jersey coast could pollute the coast from Long Island to Cape May and beyond, he said.

The Freeholders are part of a growing bipartisan effort in opposition to offshore drilling. Republican and Democratic officials from the local level to federal representatives have already come together to block any attempt to open the sea floor to industrial drilling.

Summer STEM Camp Programs

OCEAN COUNTY – Camp Invention, a nationally recognized, non-profit summer enrichment camp program that focuses on STEM – science technology, engineering and math – is coming to the following Ocean County locations: Bayville Elementary School from June 26 to 29.

H.C. Johnson Elementary School in Jackson from August 7 to 10.

Silver Bay Elementary School in Toms River from July 10 to 13.

Camp Invention is a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, a non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing inventors and invention, promoting creativity and advancing the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. What makes this camp truly unique is that the curriculum is inspired by some of our nation’s most brilliant minds – the Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

For students entering kindergarten through sixth grade, Camp Invention is a weeklong adventure that turns the summer from ordinary to extraordinary through hands-on problem solving, collaboration and the use of STEM – science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Inventive young minds can exercise their creativity and use their imagination, all while learning and developing new skills they typically don’t get to use in the classroom.

Children are empowered to have big ideas while they take on challenges that inspire them to question, brainstorm, work as a team and build amazing invention prototypes.

This year’s fresh, action-packed Camp Invention curriculum features several hands-on modules: Duct Tape Billionaire™ – Campers design duct tape products they can market and sell to mock investors.

Have a Blast™ – Children build high-tech Bubble Blasters and compete as a team in friendly air battles that use physics to boost their advantage.

Mission Space Makers™ – Teams hatch eggs, sprout living plants and grow crystal trees, all while on a mission to locate and prepare a new planet for human habitation.

Operation Keep Out™ – Campers learn to reverse engineer old machines and devices and use their parts to create the ultimate Spy Gadget Alarm Box. All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by certified educators who reside and teach in the community.

Camp Invention serves more than 130,000 students every year and partners with more than 1,400 schools and districts across the nation.

Water Color And Oil Paintings To Be Exhibited At OCHS

TOMS RIVER – Visit the Ocean County Historical Society from May 30 to September 8 to view water color and oil paintings by Ocean County artist Arthur E. Stevens.

Some of Steven’s paintings have already been enjoyed by community members via the stairwell to the Birdsall Room, but these are just a few paintings within his vast portfolio.

Stevens is married to the former Virginia Fretz and they currently reside in Forked River. He retired from a teaching career of 36 years in 1994, and in the words of his grandson Russell Risden, he is a “Re-

naissance man” because of his knowledge of many subject areas, numerous travels and scholarly pursuits.

Learn more about this talented artist by visiting the museum on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and on the first Saturday of each month from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The artist can be met in person on September 2 in the Pauline Miller room from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the 31st Annual Antiques, Crafts and Collectibles Faire. Paintings that depict Ocean County scenes can be purchased during this event.

Admission to the museum for tours is free, but donations are accepted.

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!

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.

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 kicks 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: April 22, Plumsted Township, 121 New Egypt Allentown Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Nominations For Most Valuable Teacher Program

L A K E WO O D – T h e L a k e w o o d BlueClaws and New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) are teaming up to honor the Jersey Shore’s Most Valuable Teachers before the BlueClaws game on May 23.

Students, parents of students, fellow teachers, principals and other administrators are encouraged to nominate inf luential teachers in their community by filling out a nomination form at blueclaws.com. Video submissions, where students talk about why their teacher is a Most Valuable Teacher, are highly encouraged and may be used on the BlueClaws video board the day of the ceremony. Nominators can email their videos to MVT@blueclaws.com.

Every year the BlueClaws honor the Jersey Shore’s Most Improved Students, so this year’s ceremony will turn the tables and highlight exceptional teachers.

“Teachers are the bedrock of our education system and we want to recognize their achievements this spring,” said Blue Claws Gener al Ma nager Ch r is Tafrow. “This event, honoring the top teachers at the Jersey Shore, is extra special since we are taking the nominations and videos from the students and parents themselves.”

Upon nomination, teachers will be contacted through their schools. Each teacher will receive a complimentary ticket to the BlueClaws game on May 23 and will be recognized in a pre-game ceremony.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law 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 Michael J. Deem Esq. N.J.S.A.3B:5-4). Once the 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.

Ocean County Dedicates Day To Education And Sharing

OCEAN COUNTY – On April 7, Ocean County Freeholders marked the 115th Anniversary of the Rebbe’s date of birth with “Education Day.” Often described as the most influential rabbi in modern history, the teachings of Rebbe, or Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, emphasize the inherent goodness of mankind, the infinite potential within every individual and the profound value of even the smallest good deed, which as inspired multitudes of people and resonated globally. “The young are the leaders of the next generation,” he would say, “And proper education can prevent many of today’s challenges.”

Rabbi Schneerson was the only rabbi ever to receive the Congressional Gold Medal and to have an American national day proclaimed in his honor, Education and Sharing Day. His role within the Jewish community was unparalleled, both as a preeminent scholar and as an indefatigable leader.

In commemoration of the anniversary, Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari has proclaimed April 7, 2017 as “Education Day” in the County of Ocean and “Called upon educators, volunteers and citizens, to reach out to young people and work to create a better, brighter, and more hopeful future for all.”

“This is an opportunity,” explains Rabbi Moshe Gourarie, Director of Chabad in Toms River, one of the thousands of Jewish Centers established by the Rebbe, “To stop and contemplate on the state of education in our families and in our community, and to inspire one another to enhance and expand the educational opportunities for the young in our midst.

For more information about the Rebbe, visit: therebbe.org or contact Rabbi Moshe Gourarie at 732-267-0024.

crafts may be no more than 28” and no less than 10” in any dimension, including matting and framing.

Note that reproduction of the artist’s work including giclée prints or other similar reproductions of original artwork will not be accepted.

A non-refundable entry fee of $10 is required at the time of submission, cash

only and exact change.

For complete eligibility requirements, artwork display rules and an entry form, contact Valarie Morris, OCC College Relations Office at 732-255-0400, ext. 2380 or visit go.ocean.edu/seniors.

The 41st Annual Ocean County Senior Citizens Art Exhibit will be open for public viewing at the Grunin Center Gallery,

2nd floor, from June 10 to July 6.

Sponsors of the 41st Annual Ocean County Senior Citizens Art Exhibit include Ocean County College, the Senior Art Advisory Committee, Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, Ocean County Office of Senior Services and the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission.

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 ref lect 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 first 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 yea r.

I challenge our readers to join you in their local commemorations. Remember f lags are to be f lown 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.

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.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen

When You Don’t Have Time To Wait, Make This Seasonal Poultry Dish, Pronto

By Wolfgang Puck 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.
