older students who live within 2 miles of their schools, offering those parents an option to pay an annual subscription to continue busing. School officials said they will continue to do the busing that is required by law. However, the courtesy busing of other students had to be stopped. A walking zone was drawn in town, boxing in an area from Route 9 to the Garden State Park way, and f rom (Busing - See Page 14)

By Bob Vosseller STAFFORD – It isn’t often that a 2-yearold can get beh i nd the wheel of a large vehicle, but Matthew Graham of Little Egg Harbor enjoyed it so much he didn’t want to let go of the steering wheel at the 3rd Annual “Touch A Truck” event that drew thousands of people to Manahawkin Lake Park on April 29.
Matthew, who burst into tears when his mother Michelle Graham pried him away from the driver’s seat of the 1922 Stafford Township Fire Company fire pumper to give other children a turn, was sitting in one of 50 vehicles parked within the recreational area. “This was our first time coming out to this (Truck - See Page 5)

COUNTY PLANS $14 MILLION IN ROAD, BRIDGE PROJECTS By Chris Lundy OCEAN COU NTY – 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 fi x pipes if that is needed. This could

also involve restriping, pedestrian crosswalks and handicap ramps at the corners. Stormwater improvements usually involve drainage but could include filters to clean up where the water is going. The traffic control work could be a new signal, or an improvement of an existing one. It could also include radar signs that tell drivers if they are speeding. There are about 450 traffic signals in the county right now, he said Bridge work includes design and repair. There are approximately 250 bridges in the county, he said. Many of them are 40 to 50 years old and are made from weaker material than they can be made from today. Part of the money will go toward obtaining state permits and licenses. Projects will be done in the following towns: Toms River: Repaving on Kettle Creek Road from Hooper Avenue to Green Isle; on North 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 Amer-
icas; 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.
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.

Continued From Page 1 event but I knew it would be a lot of fun,” Graham said. Taking over at the wheel from little Matthew was 6-year-old Pauli Mastrangelo of Stafford Township. He and his mother Rose were also newcomers to the event sponsored by township Chamber of Commerce. “He gets to climb on things without getting in trouble. It is a nice thing for kids to actually be allowed to go up and touch something,” Rose Mastrangelo said. Ray Valladares, a member of the board of directors for the Stafford Township Chamber of Commerce described the event as being a very “family-friendly, free event that offers children a hands-on opportunity to learn and interact with community first responders, non-profits, local organizations and businesses while exploring many different types of trucks and vehicles.” Among the vehicles on display included various military, police, fire, EMS, utility, construction, and commercial trucks. The event also featured face painting, balloon animals, inf latables, a bounce house, games, RC Car Racing, music provided by WJRZ, food vendors, and craft/local business vendors. Alex Scherer and Brian Sullivan who own Jersey Shore Pavers brought their tandem model dump truck. “We brought our wives and children to this event and they are having fun as well. This is our second year to be part of it,” Scherer said.
The Southern Ocean Times, May 6, 2017, Page 5 While you could touch the many trucks, emergency vehicles, police vehicles and fire trucks present, the one vehicle you couldn’t touch was a recreation of the famous DeLorean time machine from the “Back To The Future” trilogy of films. The fictional automobile-based time travel device featured in the film franchise was based on a DeLorean DMC-12 car and attendees could only glimpse into the driver and passenger seats. For 3-year-old Owen Hoagland of Neptune, it wasn’t a truck he wanted to touch or even a life-sized car, but a miniature helicopter that was among the many toy vehicles at one of the vendor booths that caught his fancy. His grandmother, Joan Hoagland of Howell, tried to get him to decide which of the many toy vehicles he was pulling off the rack was his favorite as she was going to end up purchasing one of them. “I saw it on Facebook and it looked like it would be a fun day for a 3-year-old,” Owen’s mother Lauren Hoagland said as she stood beside a stroller with Owen’s 1-year-old sister Caitlin who also appeared to be having a good time. Judy Broomall, an employee of Sheltered Cove Marina, Tuckerton, was showing off a 2017 SeaFox boat that featured a price tag of $58,000 at the event. Like the other vehicles, family members got the chance to sit in the boat and pretend to navigate it in the nearby lake, even though it was safely stationed on the ground. “This was our first time to be part of this and it is a lot of fun,” Broomall said. This marked the second year that Tuckerton Lumber signed on as a sponsor for the

Liz Harrigle and her brother Bruce Nelson own the company that their grandfather started in 1932. “Kids ask a lot of questions and how our truck works. We brought a boom truck for people to sit in and learn about,” Harrigle said. “We deliver lumber in it but the boom can be used for multiple functions from moving a piano to a swimming pool.” Rocco Manochio, president of the Stafford Chamber of Commerce, couldn’t have been happier about the turnout and weather for
the day. He said that the event has drawn between 5-6,000 people in the past and today’s event may have topped that figure. “We founded the chamber in 2014 and we were looking at what our first event would be. I have kids and I went to a Touch A Truck event in Monmouth County and I wanted to bring the idea here. We have 50 vendors here today along with as many vehicles and everyone is having a great time and that is what it is all about,” Manochio said.

Assemblyman Rumpf Named To NJ State Beach Erosion Commission Capitol Comments Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf 9th Legislative District
NEW JERSEY – 9th Legislative District Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf has been named to the New Jersey State Beach Erosion Commission by the Speaker of the New Jersey General
Assembly. “As a representative of a legislative district that experienced widespread damage by Superstorm Sandy, I feel serving on the State Beach Erosion Commission will
enable me to better represent the interests of my constituents for whom this is a significant issue. “When assessing the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy, it was unmistakable that those municipalities where beach replenishment projects were more recently completed were more resilient against the Superstorm than those municipalities in need of beach replenishment. Effectively, this is a testament to the overall
success of the state’s beach replenishment program. “It’s important to note that beach replenishment projects are not only essential to public safety and the protection of property. Funding for these projects is also a sound investment in one of the most critical areas of the state economy, as the Jersey shore remains a top tourist destination for this region of the country.” In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, Assemblyman
Rumpf, along with his 9th District colleagues, Senator Christopher J. Connors and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove, wholeheartedly supported Governor Christie’s 2013 Executive Order that allowed the state to move forward with dune construction projects to protect New Jersey’s coastal communities. More than five years before Sandy hit the Jersey Coast with dest r uctive force, members of the 9th Dis-
trict delegation were prime sponsors of the legislation, signed into law, that established the Coastal New Jersey Evacuation Task Force. Assembly ma n Ru mpf served as Vice-Chairman of the Task Force, which the delegation used as a forum to advocate for additional transportation funding to the area following the destruction and chaos that ensued after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez released the following statement on the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. “I have said many times that, just as the President has the right to put forth a nominee of his choosing to fill this vacancy on the Supreme Court, the Senate has the Constitutional duty to consider his nominee by thoroughly and fairly examining their qualifications and record. I take my Constitutional obligation
National Flood Insurance Program ( NFIP) on reforming the NFIP. “Superstorm Sandy was
the second-costliest storm in United States history,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “The devastation was severe, with ne a rly 350,0 0 0 home s d a m age d or de st roye d and over $30 billion in losses. Half of the losses in all of NJ were in my home c ou nt y – O c e a n Count y. Many families are still not home and are
dealing with the effects of this storm because of the mismanagement of the NFIP. As I work to reform the NFIP, my top priorities will be making the program more affordable, strengthening f lood mitigation programs, and most i mpor t a ntly i mprovi ng accountability at FEMA. I don’t wa nt a ny more New Jersey families to
suffer as a result of incompetence coming out of Washington.” Last year, Tom MacArthur unveiled FEMA whistleblowers that were directly involved with flood insurance claims following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, exposing a systemic effort by FEMA to wrongfully deny the claims of Sandy victims.
Menendez Statement On Judge Neil Gorsuch Nomination For Supreme Court
to advise and consent very seriously, because the decisions made by the U.S. Supreme Court affect the lives of every single American. “I had hoped President Tr ump would nominate an uncontroversial, mainstream judge to the Supreme Court. Instead, he has chosen a nominee who, after long reflection and in hearing from my constituents, I cannot support. “In his writings and his career, Judge Neil Gorsuch has shown himself to be far too close to powerful
corporations and special interests. I am particularly concerned by his dissent in TransAm Trucking v. Administ rative Review Board, where a tr ucker driving in negative-14 degrees lost the use of his trailer’s brakes. When the employer fired the trucker for abandoning the trailer to find heat to save his life, six other judges made the obvious and commonsense conclusion that that fi ring was illegal. But Judge Gorsuch would have upheld the firing based on an illogical

and indefensible reading of the underlying law. “Other areas of Judge Gorsuch’s record also deeply concern me. He praised one of the main architects of the voter identification laws, which are stripping rights away from African-American and Latino voters. He held that corporations’ religious rights trump a female employee’s right to contraceptive care. He has even taken extraordinary measures to advance his own ideological views and undermine women’s access to basic reproductive health care when he requested a sua sponte rehearing in a case that would have blocked funding to Planned
Parenthood. “I asked myself whether Judge Gorsuch would further the ideal of equal justice and give full meaning to our nation’s civil rights laws, and whether he would uphold these principles in the face of the current anti-civil rights, anti-immigrant, anti-women and anti-human rights agenda. During his hearing, I had hoped that he would be forthright in his answers, explaining his judicial philosophy while maintaining the future impartiality that all judges must possess. Unfortunately, I found Judge Gorsuch’s answers at the hearing to be wholly inadequate. “Based on his record,
Congressman MacArthur also publicly called for the FEMA Chief, Craig Fugate, to resign after a report revealed that thousands of Superstorm Sandy victims had been wrongf ully denied i nsu rance claims due to corrupt and fraudulent practices. Mr. Fugate is fi nally gone and a new FEMA Chief will be appointed by the President.
judicial philosophy, and indirect and evasive answers during the hearings, I cannot support either cloture or fi nal passage on Judge Gorsuch’s nomination. “The last four judges confirmed to the Supreme Court received more than 60 votes in the U.S. Senate, and there is no reason that Neil Gorsuch shouldn’t be held to the same standard. Instead of changing the rules on lifetime appointments that have made the Senate the greatest deliberative body, we should instead work together in a bipartisan manner to find a nominee who is capable of winning a healthy majority in the U.S. Senate.”

Doctor To Pay $156,000 For Compromised Vaccines
By Chris Lundy STAFFORD – A local doctor has agreed to pay $156,220 and to revise his office practices in a settlement reached after he was charged with providing vaccines that had been stored improperly. Dr. Michael Bleiman, of Southern Ocean Pediatrics and Family Medicine, had patients that were vaccinated as part of the Vaccines for Children program, a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to families in financial need. An investigation revealed that the vaccines were not stored at the correct temperature. This put them at risk that they would not be as effective as needed. Furthermore, the temperatures were recorded incorrectly, to cover the fact that they were not stored right. The situation affected more than 900 Medicaid patients who potentially received compromised vaccines between the period of November, 2014, through October, 2016. However, there has been no evidence, besides the temperatures, that the vaccines have been compromised. “The quality of care issues in this matter raised serious concerns about the welfare of Medicaid program participants,” State Comptroller Phillip James Degnan said in a news release. “This settlement holds Dr. Bleiman
accountable for his actions while ensuring compliance going forward.” After an investigation, he was suspended from all Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare programs on Jan. 27. As part of this settlement, the temporary suspension of his participation in the Medicaid program will end. Of the total settlement, $110,000 is a civil penalty levied by the Medicaid Fraud Division. The rest is a reimbursement of overpayments that were paid to Bleiman and his practice. Bleiman will be required to pay $100,000 on or before June 1, and the rest in consecutive monthly payments. Going forward, the temperatures and recording manner will be under further scrutiny.

Non-Jewish Holocaust Victims Event
MANAHAWKIN – Stockton University at Manahawkin will present “Survey of Non-Jewish Victims of the Holocaust” on May 15 at 10 a.m., 712 East Bay Ave. The presentation will be given by Stockton University alumnus Steven Marcus, an adjunct instructor in the School of General Studies at Stockton and the director of the Holocaust and Genocide dual credit consortium, a group of high schools that participate in Stockton’s dual credit course in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Marcus’ presentation will focus on non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust and explore the
concepts of uniqueness and universality. While millions of Jewish men and women were murdered by the Nazi regime, many other victim groups suffered similar fates. Marcus will pose the question as to whether the non-Jewish victims of Nazis should be included in a definition of the Holocaust, or as victims of an evolving Nazi policy. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Please call 609-626-3883 to register. For more information about classes and activities at Stockton at Manahawkin, visit stockton.edu/manahawkin.

It began at the regional level when she competed against 100 flute
players in the South Jersey region and captured the first chair position in the All-South Jersey Honors Wind Ensemble.

Cara truly personifies the Southern slogan of “Committed to Excellence” and deserves recognition by the community for representing Stafford Township in the highest caliber.

Busing:
Continued From Page 1 Lacey Road to the town’s northern border. All of the children living within this area would be affected. Those living outside those borders would not be affected. Transportation will still be provided for free for children in kindergarten through fourth grade; 5th and 6th graders living outside the walking zone; 7th and 8th graders who live more than 2 miles from school, and 9th through 12th graders who live more than 2.5 miles from school; and educationally disabled students. Applications are available from the district for subscription busing up until June 30. If residents want their children
to be on the bus, they will have to pay for the subscription service, which amounts to $180 a year or $1 a day. Families who are eligible for free or reduced meals can receive busing at a reduced rate. There is a maximum cost of $360 per year per family, no matter how many children are transported. The new policy does not affect school sponsored activities or field trips. A few residents spoke against the new policy, which would start in September, at the April 24 Board of Education meeting. “When you get to the end of our street, there are no sidewalks,” said resident John Szafranski of Jacqueline Court. “You have to cross Lake Barnegat Drive on Haines Street. That intersection is a death trap.

I’m not letting my kids walk on Haines with no sidewalk.” He wanted to know if there would be more crossing guards. Superintendent Craig Wigley said much of that was taken into consideration in crafting this policy. There will be improvements to crosswalks and more crossing guards as needed. “We will absolutely hire crossing guards if need be,” he said. Szafranski wanted to know what went into the planning of this policy. “You want us to take your word for it. Who deemed what safe? What steps did you take to make it safe?” Wigley said the plan follows guidelines set forth by the state Department of Education. When he arrived in Lacey at the beginning of last school year, there was a “quagmire” of busing. This change will marry policy with practice. “There’s a multitude of options to transport yourself,” he said. Children can walk, have a parent drive, or subscribe. However, Wigley said he was not able to provide every detail of the new walking plan until the district knows how many children are subscribing, and where they live. After looking at those figures, they will determine where the crossing guards and improvements will be done. Megan Anderson, a 13-year-old student, prepared a statement to read to the school officials. She said that she will have to walk to Lacey Middle School because both of her parents work full time. She was diagnosed with asthma when she was 3.
“Thanks to your decision, I will walk to school not knowing if I will have an asthma attack,” she read. “Not to mention that more than half of my walk doesn’t have a sidewalk and also has only about two street lights.” She asked if the school officials ever walked from the border of the map all the way to the middle or high school. Her mother, Laura Anderson, said her daughter has a half mile walk, on a road with a 40-mile-per-hour limit and no sidewalks. In rain, snow, and ice, that will be a very dangerous road for kids to walk down. Additionally, although the school officials might deem a certain route safer than others, that does not mean that the children will choose those routes. “You can’t force children to walk certain roads,” she said. Board members then spoke about the change. “It’s hard to gauge who is subscribing and who is not. We have to see where the danger is. I know Mr. Wigley talks with the chief all the time and we’ll figure it out,” board member Nicholas Mirandi said. “My kids live in that walking zone,” board member David Silletti said. “There has been a lot of debate and argument on these issues.” There was a lot of discussion about lighting and sidewalks. After the meeting, Wigley said that tax dollars were paying for the courtesy busing, and the state doesn’t reimburse. “They received courtesy busing for some time, and it’s an entitlement we can no longer afford,” he said.

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

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.

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 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 year. I challenge
our readers to join you in their local commemorations. Remember flags 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

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 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. If you or a loved one have any questions about a potential Wrongful Death case, please contact Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injur y, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney and much more.

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 f ly 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. 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 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).

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.
