REMEMBERING

HINDENBURG

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 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 (Mystery - See Page 20)

–Photos courtesy Hurley Family Allen Hagaman and Anna Moore on their wedding day in 1914. They would have one child, Sarah, in 1920. The Hurley family has copies of old newspaper clippings about the Hindenburg tragedy. The news source is unknown, but shows the procession outside the Cedar Street house where Allen Hagaman had his funeral service.

SON OF HINDENBURG ENGINEER RECALLS HISTORY

By Chris Lundy LAKEHURST – Dr. Horst Schirmer still remembers when he lifted the entire Hindenburg with his bare hands. Schirmer’s father, Max, had been with the Zeppelin Company from 1923 to 1945. He designed a new propeller that was tested on that fateful flight. He would take his son into the hangar on weekly trips.

Schirmer’s father let him fly on it, too, once. But he remembers vividly seeing the Hindenburg at rest in the hangar, stretching 803 feet long. Following his father’s instructions, he put his hands on it. “Now, lift it up,” his father had said. Incredibly, it began to rise. “I raised it with my hand. I couldn’t believe it! It was like a balloon,” he said.

Now 80 years later, Schirmer is still very pleased with his - and his father’s - place in airship history. Schirmer speaks with technical knowledge of the inner workings of the airships. Indeed, his father had wanted him to study physics. He, instead, opted for medicine, against his father’s wishes. He practiced as a urologist in Maryland.

Now, at 85, he is retired from surgery, but still teaches and does cancer research at Johns Hopkins University. He will be visiting Lakehurst this weekend as part of the Hindenburg anniversary events. His talk was scheduled for May 5th at a banquet, and for May 6th at a remembrance ceremony.

Hitler’s Nazi Germany. On the evening of May 6, 1937 the Hindenburg approached Lakehurst 12 hours late on her first arrival of the year’s operating season. Despite the rain, and no celebrities on board, a large crowd gathered to greet her. At 7:15 p.m., as radio announcer Herb Morrison described the airship LZ 129 as a “f loating palace,” it caught fire and was destroyed as it attempted to dock. Nearly 100 people were on board, including 36 passengers and 61 crewmen. Of those, 13 passengers and 22 crewmen died. One worker on the ground was also killed, raising the final death toll to 36. Navy Lakehurst Historical Society member Rick Zitarosa said that the Hindenburg disaster is important to remember because “it was the first major tragic event captured in real time. It was captured on newsreel and on NBC radio. The Hindenburg itself was both at the pinnacle of lighter than air f light and its ending. It was the Concorde of its day with premium price for passengers. This was at a time where there were no commercial airplane f lights.” Zitarosa said that Zeppelins were popular in 1936 and growing in use by passengers in 1937. He added that “1937 looked to be their year but a series of random events happened and subsequently led to a battle for acquiring helium which

New Jersey Way

By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – For some, preserving the past and sharing glimpses of history is a passion. Those same individuals stress, however, that history is something that should be shared and appreciated by all. On Saturday, May 6, the Hindenburg disaster that put Lakehurst, New Jersey, on the world map, will observe its 80th anniversary. Much like the Titanic ocean liner which was also described as a modern marvel of its time yet sank after striking an iceberg, the Hindenburg was promoted as the greatest aerial engineering marvel ever created. The German Zeppelin was a familiar sight in the sky around Ocean County during her one year of transatlantic service from 1936 to 1937. It was housed, like many other airships, at the Naval Air Station Lakehurst which also hosted operations of U.S. Navy airships such as the Shenandoah and Akron. The station’s giant hangar also facilitated the Graf, which was the Hindenburg’s predecessor. The Hindenburg had a length of 804 feet, standing 146 feet tall and had a speed capability of more than 80 miles per hour. It could cross the ocean with as many as 70 passengers and 10,000 pounds of express freight. The Zeppelin served as a propaganda tool for Adolph

School Marks Hindenburg With Tree Planting

By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – For Lakehurst Elementary School students, the events of the Hindenburg tragedy are always in the back of their minds – and their backyards. On one sunny day, Melissa Dolan’s class of fifth- and sixth-grade students planted a tree for two reasons: To remember those who died in the tragedy, and to celebrate Arbor Day. The students stood around the school’s courtyard with eighth-graders Madison Degnan and Elizabeth Oliver. The girls, members of the school’s Project Academically Talented, had just shared some facts about the Hindenburg with the students. For example, the Hindenburg wasn’t designed to fit in its hangar, yet it somehow did. Another fun fact: The mail being carried on the Hindenburg the day it burned survived the fire and was able to be delivered. Dolan’s class then lined up to recite facts about Arbor Day. Following that, they planted a tree donated by the Ocean County Shade Tree Commission. The tree will be dedicated to those who lost their lives as part of the Hindenburg tragedy. Thirty-six people died: 13 passengers, 22 crew and a local Lakehurst man, Allen Hagaman, whose family still resides in the borough.

Madison and Elizabeth told The Manchester Times that some field trips throughout their school career have revolved around Joint Base Maguire-Dix-Lakehurst, and inevitably ended up at Hangar 1 and its field, the location of the Hindenburg tragedy. In third grade, they visited the site and got to see a model of the dirigible. The tragedy is touched upon in school, said assistant principal Stephanie Rucci. However, the Nazi ties to the Hindenburg are glossed over. The Third Reich used the Hindenburg as a symbol of its might. Rucci explained that the school has a close relationship with JBMDL. Not only is this because of the school’s close proximity to the base, but that many students have parents and other relatives working there. “It’s nice that we have the military families here. The students really identify with what goes on over at the base,” Rucci said. For Madison and Elizabeth, though the tragedy is only known through research and old photographs and film footage, they still are amazed such a thing happened in Lakehurst. “What was supposed to be ordinary turned to tragedy for so many families,” Madison said. “And it happened right in our backyard.”

County To Share Traﬃc Camera Info With Investigators 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 fi rst 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.

Both men stressed that organizations like theirs are operated by volunteers who have a passion for history and who wish to share it with residents of various ages who can appreciate eras of the past. “It is probably the most noteworthy event that happened in Ocean County at the time or perhaps since,” Reusch said. “Part of our mission statement is telling stories of Ocean County and the Hindenburg has a lot of interest. Our museum is not a government facility and people can come here and visit all the time and it brings historical events like the Hindenburg alive,” Bovasso said. Reusch said that most of the Hindenburg artifacts, much like other collections at the museum, are provided through donations. Various photos and plate ware from the famous airship are among the items that can be seen as part of the display.

State Legislators Push For Bill Requiring Use Of Native Plants For Roadside Landscaping

NEW JERSEY – New Jersey State roadways will now be lined with native plants for landscaping and reforestation purposes due to the efforts of Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Greg McGuckin (all R-10). The bill, S-227/A-963, was signed into law by Governor Christie. “During the rebuilding of State Highway 35 on the barrier island follow-

NEW JERSEY – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) released the followi ng st atement af ter Republicans invoked the “nuclear option” by voting to change the Senate rules in order to advance the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court: “Today is a sad today for the United States Senate, as this action by Republicans takes us a giant step towards sinking the world’s greatest deliberative body into the pit of hy per-par tisanship and dysfunction. But it is an even sadder day for the American people, who, now more than ever, need Supreme Cour t justices who will put the rights of people—workers, women, consumers, families of all backgrounds—ahead of powerful corporations and interests.

the purpose of landscaping, land management, reforestation or habitat reforestation, the Department of Transportation, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and the South Jersey Transportation Authority would be required to plant vegetation that is native to the State and that will thrive in the area being planted.

Senator Menendez Comments On Republicans Going Nuclear To Push Gorsuch Nomination reproductive rights and other vital issues impacting people’s lives. “We call this action the nuclear option for a reason—because it is extreme and dest r uctive to this institution. By invoking the nuclear option for our Supreme Cou r t, tod ay, the Republican majority has turned their backs on their obligation both to this institution and to the rights of the minority. I am truly fearful they are merely one step away from doing the same on every piece of legislation. They have caused irreparable harm that will only undermine this respected institution. “The Framers warned us that when we succumb to the tyranny of the majority, we eviscerate the founding principles upon which our government stands, silence minority voices and cast aside the most vulnerable in our society. Not only does this action erode the ability for the Senate to

Since the Eisenhower Administration, every Supreme Cou r t just ice has garnered more than 60 votes for confi rmation. Some have even advanced unanimously. That’s how it’s supposed to work. Yet, today, after Neil Gorsuch failed to reach the 60-vote threshold, the Republican majority regrettably chose to change the rules in the middle of the game. Now, all Supreme Court nominees will only need a simple majority vote to serve on the high court. “It’s a shame that the Senate was not presented with

a mainstream, consensus nominee and we are in this lamentable position today. Our country desperately

needs to come together to create good paying jobs and fi x our crumbling infrastructure, but eliminat-

Native plants allow developed landscapes to coexist with nature, rather than compete with it,” added Assemblyman McGuckin.

Community Medical Center Hosts Dinner And Discussion On Memory Care

TOMS RIVER – Community Medical Center, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, will host a “Forgetfulness: Knowing When to Ask for Help” seminar on May 16 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Clarion Hotel, 815 Route 37 West. Speakers include Gerald Ferencz who is board-certified in Neurology, Sleep Medicine and Internal Medicine to discuss how sleep can affect memory; Sanjiv Sharma who is board-certified in Geriatrics and Internal Medicine to discuss current medications for Alzheimer’s and what the future holds for treatment development and Kenneth Zaentz, President of Alzheimer’s New Jersey to talk about understanding memory loss. Memory loss can be caused by many different factors and is fairly common as we age. It’s im-

portant to know the difference between normal changes in memory and Alzheimer’s, and when to ask for help. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control found that as many as 5 million Americans live with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most common form of dementia. The symptoms of Alzheimer’s – poor judgment, repeating questions, mood changes and general memory loss – may appear after age 60, and the risk for the disease increases as one ages. The evening also includes health screenings, a health fair, a Coach bag prize drawing and a light dinner served during the discussion. The event is free, but seating is limited. Pre-registration is required by calling 1-888724-7123.

Grantham University Congratulates Graduate Cameron Hetzel

LAKEHURST – Grantham University is proud to announce that Cameron Hetzel of Lakehurst recently graduated with an online B.S. in Business Administration. “We are so proud to congratulate Cameron Hetzel on trusting our team with the dream of education.

president and chief academic officer. “It gives us such great pleasure to see students’ hard work result in an education that will help set them up for success in the next exciting chapter of their lives.” Given the flexibility of the 100 percent online university’s course schedule, Grantham students finish their programs and graduate each week of the year.

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 “Renaissance 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.

LAKEHURST – It was an exciting evening in Lakehurst on April 7, as young men and women dressed to impress and took to the runway for the second Lakehurst Beauty, Fashion and Prom Expo at La Gove Grande from 5 to 8 p.m. The event, which was a partnership between Colonial Bouquet, Inc. and Dimensional Designs Salon & Spa, was meant to mirror a bridal event where outside vendors like Chazmatazz Tuxedos in Toms River and New York City Glitz in Pine Beach were invited to participate in a vendor like atmosphere that highlighted the most anticipated beauty and prom fashions of the season. Special guest Kristin Titus from LuLaRoe kicked off the event with the first modeling session, which highlighted “what to wear” while getting ready for prom. De Monico Designs in Point Pleasant Beach showcased some airy, softer options for prom and 8th grade graduation. Another local designer Monica

Karrine Coture, who creates custom pieces on demand, fitted eight girls in her collection Beauties in Blush, which was created specifically for the event. The many young men and women who participated in the 2017 Beauty, Fashion and Prom Expo were professional and talented, strutting down the runway with confidence in their prom-ready looks. The evening was also sprinkled with giveaways from vendors, including Mary Kay, Premier Designs Jewelry, Arbonne and Touchstone Crystals by Swarovski. Professional lighting for the fashion expo was provided by Riddlesburg Theatre Company and photography was provided by Velti Photography and Fashion Haute Magazine. A cover story of the expo will be highlighted in the magazine’s May edition. There was so much talent at this year’s expo, from the models, outfits, flowers and hair design that the organizers are already looking forward to next year’s event.

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.

Mystery:

Continued From Page 1 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 The 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

–Photo By Jennifer Peacock Allen Hurley has lived in his grandfather’s Cedar Street house since the late 1970s. Hurley said the house was built in 1932. 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

Engineer:

Continued From Page 1 Lots of people want to discuss the disaster. The tragedy. He wanted to talk about the people. The names and faces of those behind the history. “I knew pretty much all the crew that flew it,” he said. Many key people made contributions to the history of lighter-than-air craft. It seemed

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

Maple, from Route 9 to New Hampshire 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 Whitesville Culvert. Traffic control work at the intersection of Hope Chapel Road and Whitesville Road. Bridge work on Grawton Bridge. Plumsted: Repaving project on Front/Magnolia/Archertown, from Brindletown to West Colliers Mills. Brick: Bridge repairs on Beaver Dam Bridge and the Mantoloking Bridge, on Burnt Tavern Road and Van Zile Road; and on Burnt Tavern at Greenbriar. Replacement of Midstreams Bridge. Berkeley: Design work on Zebb’s Bridge on Route 530. Lakewood: Traffic control work at Cedar

Bridge Road and the Avenue of the Americas; New Hampshire and America Avenue; New Hampshire and Ridge; Vine and Cedar Bridge; Prospect Street and Massachusetts. Manchester: Traffic control work at the intersection of Ridgeway Road and Ridgeway Boulevard. Design of Ridgeway Bridge. Point Pleasant Beach: Repaving project on Arnold Avenue and Broadway, from Route 35 to Ocean Avenue. Little Egg Harbor: Stormwater improvements to Otis Bog Culvert. Stafford: Bridge repairs on Mayetta Bridge Barnegat: Design of East Branch Culvert. Waretown: Bridge work on the Main Street Bridge Lavallette: Stormwater improvements to Presidents Avenue. Seaside Park: Stormwater improvements to 14th Avenue.

to be a tightly-knit group. He knew many of the engineers and captains. They were friends and they were neighbors, and he went to school with their children. “I was born in 1931. The Hindenburg was started in 1931. They finished it in 1935.” To put it in perspective, Germany was churning out two airships a month at its peak. A man who owned 51 percent of the stock in Hindenburg put the swastika on the side as propaganda.

“A lot of people didn’t like it, suffice it to say,” he said. There have been many theories as to the cause of the disaster, but none of the experts have reached a consensus. Some have suggested static electricity sparked a leak of hydrogen, but he doesn’t agree with that: “Hydrogen alone doesn’t burn. It needs oxygen.” Lightning is another theory, but he discounts that idea: “The ship had been

hit before by lightning, but nothing had happened.” “I don’t think anybody will ever know,” he said. Unfortunately, the Hindenburg disaster was not an isolated incident. It wasn’t even the most tragic. In comparison of sheer numbers, the Akron’s 1933 crash off of Barnegat Light claimed 73 (plus two more, when another blimp crashed on a rescue mission to recover the Akron’s survivors).

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.

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.

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.

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. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

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 intestacy Michael J. Deem Esq. laws of New Jersey. (See N.J.S.A. 3B:5-3 and 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.

Ocean County To Distribute $39,500 In Transportation Mini-Grants

TOMS R I V ER – Now in its 32nd year, Ocean County is getting ready to distribute $39,500 in grant funds to 20 non-profit organizations that help provide transportation to senior and disabled residents. “The mini-grant program supplements and enhances our Ocean Ride public transpor tation system by helping to of fset sen ior a nd d isabled resident

transportation costs for some non-profit organizations,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to Ocean Ride. The mini-grant program began in 1985 and has provided over $1.8 million to a variety of local non-profit organizations to support their efforts to provide transportation services to their specific participants.

“The program is funded through a por tion of the county’s casino revenue grant allocation received from NJ TRANSIT,” Haines said. “Ocean County continues to be the only county in the state to provide a portion of its grant funds to help local non-profit agencies.” David Fitzgerald, Di rector of the Ocean County Department of Transportation, noted that the maximum grant

award for the 2017 program was $2,000 per applicant and that the mini-grants help fill transportation gaps that the County system could not otherwise fill. In recognition of the fact that Ocean County’s casino revenue grant has been declining since 2008, and funding has dropped by over 50 percent, the Ocean County Transportation Advisory Committee recommended that the transportation mini-grant allocation maximum grant award total once again be $2,000. Given the continued f lat ear nings reports from the Atlantic City casino industry, the advisory committee recommended to continue the suspension on considering new applicants, since doing so would place an additional strain on the mini-grant program in future years. Grant recipients are The Arc, Ocean County Chapter, Inc.; Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey; Community Medical Center Foundation; Community Services, Inc. of Ocean County; Counseling and Referral Services of Ocean County/Seashore Family Services Inc.; Eye Openers of Point Pleasant/Brick; Interfaith Health & Support Services of Southern Ocean County; Jewish Family & Children’s Services/ Jewish Federation of O.C.; LADACIN Network (Cerebral Palsy of Monmouth/ Ocean Counties); Long Beach Island Community Center, Inc.; Manchester Township Senior Outreach Program; NJ Coalition on Women & Disabilities Ocean County Chapter, Ocean County Board of Social Services; Ocean Housing Alliance, Inc.; Our Special Kids of Toms River Inc.; The Special Children Center, Inc.; Team Randy; Toms River Township Senior Center; Twenty-OnePlus, Inc. and Vetwork, A Program of Vetgroup, Inc. “The sheer size of Ocean County – more than 638 square miles – makes it a challenge for the county to run a transportation system that can accommodate the needs of all of our residents,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, “Providing this funding to these agencies helps to enhance the county run program.” Grant applications are reviewed by the Ocean County Transportation Services Depar tment in cooperation with the Ocean County Transportation Advisory Committee for Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities, which makes the funding recommendation to the Board of Chosen Freeholders. “While Ocean Ride provides a transportation lifeline for so many of our citizens, in particular our seniors, we appreciate the efforts of the grant recipients to provide assistance in the area of transportation,” Haines said. “I am happy we can continue the mini-grant program. They help transport veterans, the disabled, the elderly and a host of residents many of whom have special needs. It makes a difference in the lives of a lot of our residents.”

Free U.S. Citizenship Classes

TOMS RIVER – Legal newcomers to the United States can learn what it takes to become a naturalized citizen in a series of free classes offered this summer on Tuesday and Thursday nights at Donovan High School, 685 Hooper Ave., from June 20 to July 27. The six-week citizenship preparation program assists participants in completing their N400 applications for citizenship and presents the content of the questions asked at the interview in U.S. history, government and civics. “Our program prepares applicants to handle the interview process and to be successful on the exam,” says Sr. Peggy Nulty, who has led citizenship programs in New Jersey since 1996. Currently 180 immigrants from many different countries, such as Colombia, the Ukraine,

Mexico, India, Peru, Russia and Costa Rica, have become U.S. citizens through this program. The free program, which is funded by a Charitable Trust Foundation, relies on a combination of professional teachers, volunteer tutors and attorney consultation to assist both individuals and the classes. In order to qualify for the program, participants must meet three requirements: Be able to read, speak and write English. Have a Green Card for five years or be married to a U.S. Citizen. Be able to pay the government application fee of $725, which is sent in with the application. Pre-registration is required by calling Sr. Nulty at732-998-3153. Registration is scheduled for June 13 at 6 p.m.

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 unpar-

alleled, 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.

Freeholder Director Vicari: Keep Debris Oﬀ Streets During Spring Cleanups

OCEAN COUNTY – Now that both spring and warm weather are here to stay, Ocean County faces another annual ritual– the spring cleanup. While it may be tempting to simply rake and blow old leaves, branches and grass

clippings into the road, Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari warned that yard debris poses numerous safety threats. “We’ve already had a lot of heavy rain this season and it’s vitally important that

all of our storm drains stay clean and free of trash,” he said. “Raking waste from our yards into the street clogs drains and can lead to serious flooding problems.” Leaves swept into the streets can also cause other issues. “Dead leaves and grass can act

as fertilizer and contribute to the nitrogen and nutrient problems we are seeing in the Barnegat Bay,” Vicari said. Nonpoint source pollution from storm drains is the leading cause of environmental problems in the bay. Vicari said the county already has an aggressive program in place to maintain the drains that empty into the bay and other local waterways. The Ocean County Road Department’s Jet-Vac trucks clean the drains throughout the county on a regular schedule. “The Board of Freeholders is committed to keeping the bay healthy,” Vicari said. “But we need all of our residents’ help. Please help us keep our local storm drains clean and free of trash.” Many towns also have leaf and shrub clipping pickups scheduled for the coming weeks, he said, urging residents to check with their townships for collection dates. On a related note, Vicari also renewed his call for motorists not to throw their cigarette butts out the window. “Those butts also end up in the bay and contribute to the problems we’ve seen,” he said. Vicari said many new-model cars don’t include ashtrays, further enticing some smokers to toss their used cigarettes onto the road. “Most auto part stores carry portable ashtrays for vehicles,” he said. “Even an old can will do in a pinch.”

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 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.
