By Jennifer Peacock PINE BEACH – The church at the corner of Hillsdale and Huntington avenues started out as a summer church for summer people, pastored by the Philadelphia minister who, among others, felt this tiny then-section of Berkeley Township needed its own house of worship. By the time the Bartlett family moved from Lakewood to Pine Beach in the 1940s, the Pine Beach Chapel had had a fulltime, unpaid local pastor. Protestants and Catholics alike would worship there. For just over a year now, Rev. Glenn Ferguson has pastored this nondenominational congregation. He knew John C. Bartlett Jr. only a little, being his pastor for such a short time. Ferguson and several other church members were able to dig up some tidbits about the Freeholder’s relationship with the Chapel between a Thursday morning phone call and Friday evening deadline. As a child, Bartlett was part of Boy (Bartlett - See Page 7)

Calling All Cats: Sanctuary Offers Shelter
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - Calling all cats…your sanctuary is safe and sound. Sara Cameron, the president of the non-profit organization, Calling All Cats, said she was greatly relieved when she left a recent Board of Adjustment meeting where the board voted unanimously to approve a use variance for the organization’s cat sanctuary on her property. Elena Gable, a professional planner from Red Bank, joined attorney Ken W. Biedznski in representing Cameron during the meeting. The property on 77 East Veterans Highway is in a residential zone. Cameron, a certified animal control officer and animal cruelty officer, offered testimony to what the operation involves. The sanctuary began operating in January 2015 but after

Continued From Page 1 Caswell said, “But we do not expect to drop off. I can see us being better with the emergence of a very talented junior class which already has a ton of varsity experience. We have a lot of experience back from last year’s team along with a lot of skilled newcomers. We believe this team has a very high ceiling because of its overall size, length and skill set. I see us as a top team in the Shore Conference.” Dunzack, Hallenbeck, Baker and Spence are three-year varsity players who played major roles on last year’s team. Hallenbeck hopes to play college football and his name is on the lips of Rutgers, West Virginia and Boston College. “Vansprang will likely be our fifth starter,” Caswell said. “He will handle the ball a lot at point guard to allow Spence and Baker opportunities to get down the floor. Schlosser, our sixth man, is a quick, slashing guard who will play all three guard positions. Spence has the potential to be one of the top point guards in the Shore Conference. Baker, Vansprang and Schlosser give us plenty of talent and shooting at shooting guard and small forward. Pruitt, Craig, Marsh, Kazanowsky and Browne are all coming off successful football seasons (North was 6-2-1).” Dunzack and Hallenbeck are formidable inside. “Our size and inside scoring will be our strength,” Caswell said. “I believe Dunzack and Hallenbeck can be among the best scoring power forwards and centers in the Shore Conference. Both have good post up games with great size and both shoot the three-pointer very well.” North plans to throw different looks at its opponents. “Our depth will allow us to be versatile in the way we play this season,” Caswell said. “We can either go with our long-big lineup and play a large zone with three guys who stand 6-5-plus in the back line or we can use our athletic depth, which will allow us to play five long athletes and full court press when needed.” CENTRAL REGIONAL Head coach: Mike Clemente, fourth season Career record: 41-39 Assistant coaches: Dan Torsiello, John Fredo and Adrienne Cangelosi Last season’s record: 8-18 Key returners: 6-2 senior guard Darius Martorano (13 points, two assists, five rebounds per game), 6-1 senior guard Nick Altieri (eight points per game), 5-9 senior guard Walter Maldonado (two steals, 2.5 assists per game), 5-8 senior guard Nasir Dillard, 6-2 junior forward Nick Firetto (two rebounds, one steal per game), 6-4 junior forward Eugene Brown (two rebounds per game), 5-10 sophomore guard Marvin Goodwine Jr. (seven points, two steals, two rebounds, 1.5 assists per game) and 6-9 sophomore wing Kyle Rhoden Key newcomers: 5-10 senior guard Isaiah Johnston, 6-4 senior forward Shirod Perkins, 6-2 junior guard Cody Blocker, 6-3 sophomore forward I-Meer Johnson and 6-5 freshman forward Justin Soranno Outlook: One of the state’s most interesting prospects, Rhoden transferred to Central about halfway through last season after playing on the Rutgers Prep varsity team. Rhoden played in one game for Central, scoring 11 points and adding five rebounds, five assists, four blocks and three steals in a loss to Holmdel.
Rhoden, a 185-pounder, spent the off season playing for the New York Rens, a New York City team that competes on the NIKE circuit. He’s a product of the Central Regional Middle School team. “The circuit is the highest level a player can play on,” Clemente said. “He has always been an elite defensive player. He can defend multiple positions, including point guard. He blocks shots and plays above the rim. He has always run the floor very well.” Rhoden has improved his offense. “We put a lot of work into his offensive game heading into this season,” Clemente said. “We totally changed his jumper, breaking it down from scratch. He is able to step outside the three-point line and score and he has the ability to score the ball around the basket. We changed his shooting 180 degrees. We made shooting a lot simpler for him and he is going to continue to get better.” Clemente said Rhoden, who is enrolled in honors classes, made an unofficial visit to Princeton University last spring. “Rutgers is also keeping an eye on him,” Clemente said. “There is a big buzz surrounding his name at the (NCAA) Division l level. We are all very excited. We all have high expectations of Kyle, but everyone has to realize he is only 16 years old.” Martorano began playing for the Golden Eagles as a sophomore when they were 22-6. He starred at wide receiver for Central during the 2018 season. “He earned his playing time that year with his defense,” Clemente said. “He and Altieri are our captains. Darius became a big scorer during the second half of last season. He gets a lot of steals as he gets into the passing lanes. We will run a lot of our offense through Darius. He knows how to push his teammates to get better.” BRICK TOWNSHIP Head coach: Mike Gawronski, seventh season Career record: 49-95 Assistant coaches: Jesse McMahon, Chris Golden and James Walker Last season’s record: 15-9 Key returners: 6-3 senior guard-forward Shane Williams (17.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.8 blocks per game), 5-10 senior point guard Jalen Jackson (13.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.7 steals per game), 6-2 senior forward Cole Groschel (2.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game), 5-9 junior guard Val Grigorian, 5-8 junior point guard Brandon Bautista, 6-foot junior shooting guard Anthony Maniscalco and 6-1 junior forward Aziz Osman Key newcomers: 5-7 senior guard Rob Guerra, 6-4 senior center Jack Melone, 6-2 senior forward Jack Dougard, 5-7 junior guard C.J. Laverin, 6-2 senior forward Joaquin Ragland and 6-2 sophomore forward Ryan Duffy Outlook: Williams is 89 points from the career varsity 1,000 milestone. Gawronski, a 2007 Brick graduate, is third on the Green Dragons’ career scoring list with 1,315 points. He played shooting guard for three varsity seasons. Atop the school’s career scoring list is Joe Spitale. Stan Czekay is second while Mike Arace is fourth. They are the lone players in school history to score either 1,000 or more career varsity points. “We will look to continue to improve on last (Basketball - See Page 6)

year’s record,” Gawronski said. “We have improved our record in each of the last six years (2-23, 2-19, 3-12 13-12, 14-11 and 15-9). This is a trend we will look to continue as well as look to make noise in the Shore Conference and state tournaments.” SOUTHERN REGIONAL Head coach: Eric Fierro, ninth season Career record: 119-92 Record last season: 14-13 Assistant coaches: John Pampalone, Joe Nagy, Brandon Snyder, Rob Barrett and Jim Bailey Key returners: 6-1 senior guard Vinnie Deck (10.6 points per game), 5-6 junior guard Will Devane (1.4 points per game), 5-10 senior guard Joe Infurna (2.0 points per game), 6-3 senior forward Alex Manno (2.2 points per game), 6-2 senior guard Cole Markley (6.8 points per game), 6-2 junior forward Cole Robinson (2.3 points per game) and 6-4 senior forward Johnny Tilton (5.2 points per game) Key newcomers: 6-foot sophomore guard Luke Infurna and 6-6 sophomore forward Jay Silva Outlook: It figures to be a fun season for the Rams. “A challenging schedule will make for an exciting year,” Fierro said. “We are a work in progress. We have senior experience mixed with young talent.” Southern will compete in the Seagull Classic against Elizabeth at Holy Spirit, the Shoot Down Cancer Classic against Holy Spirit at St. Augustine Prep and the Box Out Cancer Classic against Collingswood at Millville. LAKEWOOD Head coach: Randy Holmes, 13th season Career record: 251-74 Record last season: 17-7 Assistant coaches: Gene Drumright, Tim Brown and L.J. Clark Returning player: 6-4 junior forward Ryan
Savoy (8.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and three blocks per game) Key newcomers: 5-10 guard Omari Barksdale, 5-10 junior guard De’Andre Harris, 6-foot junior guard Sean Antoine, 6-1 senior forward Sincere More, 5-10 senior guard Junior Bravo, 6-3 senior forward Zy’More Calhoun, 5-10 junior guard T.J. Paturzo, 6-3 junior forward Ty’mir Berdstrom, 5-8 junior guard Erick Torres and 5-8 freshman guard Mathew Vargas Outlook: This could be a rebuilding year for the Piners. “For the first time in many years, the Piners are in survival mode,” Holmes said. “This year’s team lacks experience. We are hoping to be competitive. Our numbers are down on the freshman, junior varsity and varsity levels.” MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP GIRLS Head coach: Dave Beauchemin, eighth season Career record at Manchester: 103-83 Record last season: 26-5 Potential starting five: 5-8 junior guard Kemari Reynolds (12.2 points, 3.3 assists per game), 6-foot senior guard Leilana Correa (17.1 points, 6.5 rebounds per game), 5-9 junior guard Serenity Anderson (5.6 points, 4.2 rebounds per game), 6-3 sophomore forward Destiny Adams (15 points, 8.7 rebounds per game) and 5-foot-10 senior forward Dakota Adams (10.4 points, 9.9 rebounds per game) Top reserve: 5-6 junior guard Nahkaleigh Hayes-Jones (6.4 points per game) Outlook: Correa, who transferred from Rutgers Prep during the off season, and Dakota Adams have committed to play for West Virginia and Bridgeport (Conn.), respectively. Beauchemin expects a big season from the Hawks. “Ourselves, St. John Vianney, Manasquan, Red Bank Catholic and St. Rose are the top five teams in the Shore Conference,” he said. “Correa, Destiny Adams and Reynolds are the top three players in the Shore Conference to watch. We have high scoring potential with great athleticism. There is a lack of depth in our front court.”

Bartlett:
Continued From Page 1 Scout Troop 31, which met in the Sunday School room in the Chapel. He was part of the Chapel’s annual Christmas pageant. He attended school in the chapel before Pine Beach Elementary School was built. And as a young man, even when he couldn’t faithfully attend services due to being away at school and other commitments, he faithfully supported the Chapel. There’s a Victorian Era superstition that says if it rains at a funeral, the deceased will go to heaven. Although he may or may not have commented on the soundness of such doctrine, one can imagine Bartlett saying something along the lines of, ‘It rains because there are rainclouds. There happens to be a funeral.’ The morning’s drizzle turned steadier, heavier that gray Saturday, Dec. 15, where dark-clad mourners gathered to celebrate the life of John C. Bartlett Jr. at the Chapel. Sheriff Michael Mastronardy stood on the church steps, and offered handshake to those who greeted him. Inside, the rich wood-paneled walls inside were adorned with red-ribbon evergreen wreaths, the light reflecting off the panels, giving a warm glow. A white lighted Christmas tree topped with an angel stood up front where a faux-wood plastic room divider, pushed as open as possible, separates the main sanctuary from the Sunday School room. A nativity, donated by the Bartlett family at the passing of matriarch Helen in 2009, sits on the other side at the front. The hushed chatter of the packed sanctuary is background noise to the hymns coming from the organ. The only seats open a little before 10 a.m. are metal folding chairs in the Sunday School room. Freeholder-elect Gary Quinn was seated in what would later be revealed to be the Bartlett family pew, the very last pew on the right side of the church. Other officials were scattered amongst the mourners. Ferguson was seated in a single wooden chair just inside the Sunday School room. It was almost 10 a.m., and time to don his black clergy cloak. He did, but a recent surgery made putting the stole around his neck difficult. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer, seated nearby, stood and arranged the stole around Ferguson’s neck. It was time. “I hope nobody here knows the fire marshal,” Ferguson quipped. From the Gospel of John. Jesus said… “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” Bartlett hand-picked the hymns that would be sung at his funeral, Ferguson said. The first, the Reformation anthem penned by German theologian Martin Luther in 1529 and based on Psalm 46, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also. The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still. His kingdom is forever. The second, written in a basement in Pittman, New Jersey in 1912: “In The Garden.” I’d stay in the garden with Him, Tho’ the night around me be falling. But He bids me go; thro’ the voice of woe, His voice to me is calling. And the last, its words written in 1820 by Anglican priest Henry Francis Lyte based on Luke 24:29 and sung to William Henry Monk’s tune “Eventide,” “Abide With Me.” Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
The Berkeley Times, December 22, 2018, Page 7 Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee, In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. It was John C. Bartlett III, known as Jay, who eulogized his father. It was the third eulogy he’d ever given, and his third inside the Pine Beach Chapel: his first, for grandmother Helen, 84, in 2009; his second, for his grandfather John C. “Doc” Bartlett Sr., 97, who died two days before his son John’s birthday in 2017; and now for his own father, 71. “My father would have been awed by the great turn-out in this chapel.” The Politician Jay Bartlett described his father as a Goldwater conservative when being a hippie was more the style, and an early fan of Ronald Regan. As a graduate student, he would continue lecturing his own students, refusing to dismiss them, through the pulled fire alarm and other disruptions that erupted on college campuses in the late 60s and early 70s. This made him not super popular with his students. But Bartlett knew from a young age he wanted to have a political career. Jay said his father’s senior yearbook listed “politics” as an ambition. John Bartlett Jr. and his wife Peggy settled in Pine Beach in the early 1970s at their Motor Road home - a home and yard he would work on with his own hands, a great source of pride - and he quickly entered the political scene. He was elected to borough council in 1974 and mayor in 1978. In 1979, at the age of 32, he would embark on his nearly 40-year career as an Ocean County Freeholder, the longest serving freeholder in the entire state. “One of my earliest memories was holding a microphone at the Beachwood Republican picnic, and telling the assembled crowd to vote for my daddy because he wanted liberty, and justice, for all,” Jay said. Joseph Buckelew was the Ocean County Republican Party Chairman when John Bartlett interviewed for consideration to run as county freeholder. Bartlett was part of Buckelew’s “youth movement,” and distinguished himself immediately, though he was an unknown at the time. “I interviewed him and his wife, and that’s another part of the story, his wife has been with John all the way. We got two for one. Peg was a great person in her own right,” Buckelew said in a phone interview. “John was kind of unknown, but he had a great capacity when I met him. He was elected hands down, and from that day on, we got the best you could possibly find.” Buckelew called John Bartlett’s death a “tragic loss” to the Bartlett family and people of Ocean County, for whom he always showed concern, especially with taxpayer money. “He never aspired to higher office. He was very fond of saying a Freehold represented the last level of government where elected officials could actually get things done for people. And get things done he did,” Jay Bartlett said. The county’s bond rating maintained its AAA rating, even post-Sandy, a feat only nine percent of all municipal bonds in the entire country possess. Even the United States government hasn’t achieved that highest rating. “John was epitome of what you should do in public office. Never once, there was never one any question about his integrity. His only interest was that of people that he served,” Buckelew said. On Dec. 12, the day John Bartlett died, Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little sent out a statement on behalf of himself and the other freeholders, Joe
Vicari, John Kelly and Virginia Haines. “There are few areas of Ocean County that have not been impacted by Freeholder Bartlett’s work. For 39 years, he has served as a steward of our environment, the architect of the County budget, a champion of Ocean County College and a man truly dedicated to public service,” Little said. “John’s passing is a profound and deep loss for all of us on the Board of Freeholders. While he was the longest serving Freeholder in the state of New Jersey, we all had the privilege to call him our longest-serving friend. Saying goodbye is difficult for all of us.” John Bartlett’s first county park, Berkeley Island County Park, was renamed for him and a ceremony held on Oct. 31. Bartlett, with the assistance of a cane, was able to attend that brief ceremony. “He also had a great voice for public speaking. He did talk a lot publicly. I guess it was the nature of his job. But early in our lives, my sister and I realized that he sounded way, way different from behind the microphone than he did when he was otherwise talking at home. We called it ‘his Freeholder voice.’ I can’t quite describe it other than it was this bigger, deeper, kind of more serious voice than we would otherwise hear every day,” Jay Bartlett said. That “Freeholder Voice” seemed to kick in wherever there was a microphone. The Roy Rogers in town, where the long-defunct Burger Chef used to sit, had a microphone at its drive-thru window. Jay remembered one day his father, whether consciously or not, put on his “Freeholder Voice” at the drive-thru window and ordered three Burger Chef sandwiches - at Roy Rogers. The Educator John Bartlett Jr. started his public education career as a student in the Pine Beach Chapel, before there was a Pine Beach Elementary School. He graduated from Toms River High School in 1965 and attended college in the South for one year before returning to Ocean County, where he graduated from the inaugural class of Ocean County College. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Western Maryland College and at the Graduate School of Public Affairs at the State University of New York at Albany, where he earned his master’s degree in political science. He was one of the only conservatives on the teaching faculty at Albany. He taught at Toms River High School North and was a political science professor at Ocean County College. “Freeholder Bartlett had been an unwavering supporter of Ocean County College, ensuring that OCC was always able to offer quality education at an affordable cost. No matter the circumstances, Freeholder Bartlett staunchly protected the well-being of the College and its students, not only through aid to its operating budget but also by assisting the College with capital programs. He was a champion of the Kean-Ocean program and had a strong hand in the funding to construct the Gateway Building, jointly owned by OCC and Kean University,” OCC President Dr. Jon H. Larson said in a press release. John Bartlett served as Freeholder Liaison to Ocean County College. “John Bartlett was for so long linked to Ocean County College. He will be missed.” In 2009, the John C. Bartlett Jr. Hall - a 32,000-square-foot building comprising 17 multipurpose classrooms, along with offices and lounges - was named. But it was John Bartlett’s love of history that his son Jay focused on. One of his father’s favorite assignments was to have students interview a
World War II veteran, whether a grandparent, family friend, or stranger sitting on an Ocean County Mall bench. “Dad knew these people wouldn’t be around forever, and he wanted to be sure the students could hear their stories, understand their struggles in the war, and hopefully gain a greater understanding of the Greatest Generation,” Jay Bartlett said. The Historian When he became too ill to do it himself, John Bartlett Jr. tasked fellow Freeholder Virginia Haines to present Ocean County municipalities with World War I service flags, not only commemorating the centennial but recognizing those who fought in the Great War. There were 28 municipalities in Ocean County at the time of the Great War. The Board of Chosen Freeholders tasked The Seaport Stitchers Quilt Guild of Tuckerton with creating commemorative service flags for each municipality. “He himself was a constant student of history. For the 100th anniversary of the United States’ entry into World War I, he decided to read 100 history books about the Great War and had arranged for the centennial celebration of the United States’ entry into the war at the county courthouse in April of last year. He summed up his reverence of history at that event, when he said, ‘It is only appropriate that we should always remember what we have here today, that we didn’t invent it. That those who came before us sacrificed their time, their talents, and in many cases their lives to give us what we have,’ ” his son said. John, Dad, Papa John Bartlett was born on Jan. 28, 1947, to John C. and Helen Bartlett. The couple had met in Lakehurst, lived in Lakewood, and settled in Pine Beach, where their children John Jr., Van, and Nancy grew up. Bartlett spent his summers as most children did back then, outdoors, swimming. He met Peggy while teaching in Albany. They too settled in Pine Beach, and had two children, John III and Meg. As a teacher, John Bartlett still had summers off, which he spent with Jay and Meg, visiting historical sites around the state or sitting atop the Ferris wheel at the Ocean County Fair, peering across the Pine Barrens and able to see Hangar One at the Lakehurst Naval Base in Manchester, where John Sr. and Helen first met. John had a beautiful singing voice, and with Doc on guitar and Van on piano, would sing when the family got together. He loved to sing the hymns that he chose to have sung at his funeral. Jay Bartlett’s eulogy lasted about 20 minutes. There were no huge revelations, except maybe this, though probably not: what you saw is what you got. John C. Bartlett Jr. was in public who was in private. “My son and I are also both proud to be named after my father, and after his father. My father’s name will live on not only in the park and the building named after him, but through me, and his grandson, and possibly for more generations to come, but I guess that’s up to his beloved grandson Jack.” His four grandchildren - Jack, Julia, Elias and Katherine - were the “light of his life.” The four live less than two miles from each other in Middletown, with Jack and Julia living across the street from a duck pond. Their grandfather bought special food, just for ducks, that he kept in a coffee tin in the trunk of his car. John and Peggy bought a home to be near their children (Bartlett - See Page 12)

SUEZ Replacing Water Mains In South Toms River
By Kimberly Bosco SOUTH TOMS RIVER – SUEZ recently announced that they will be replacing 3,900 feet of water mains as part of a water infrastructure improvement project in South Toms River. The water mains being replaced have reached the end of their useful life, the company stated. The project will include the replaceme nt of i n f r a st r uct u re i n orde r t o provide its business and residential customers with improved water quality and reliable water service, costing approximately $750,000. These water mains, originally placed in the 1950s, will be replaced with 8-inch ductile iron pipe in the areas of Ardmore Avenue, Belmont Drive and Edgemont Terrace. The project also includes the addition and replacement of fire hydrants plus renewal of approximately 80 individual services. “We are continuing to make ongoing,
signif icant proactive investments in aging infrastructure to ensure service reliability, water quality and fire protection for our customers who depend on us every day,” said Jim Mastrokalos, Director of Operations. “Customers who are affected by this project can rest assured that SUEZ’ project inspector will communicate, in advance, about specific dates and times for any temporary water shutdowns.” According to Mastrokalos, local law enforcement will assist in regulating t r af f ic a rou nd t he necessa r y a rea s during the project. SUEZ’s contractor, J. F. Kiely, will be working on improvement projects until the end of April 2019, weather permitting. Work will take place on weekdays from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. daily, except holidays. Final restoration including full mill and overlay pavement for the project will be completed in June 2019.

Continued From Page 7 and grandchildren, and John would often make the ride from Pine Beach to Middletown to see his grandkids. He would take all four to the pond to feed the ducks, and then explore the nearby woods with them. “My father told us he had few regrets about dying, other than one: that he wouldn’t live to see his beloved grandchildren grow older. He recently called them the light of his life. …He really did hope he would have had more time with them,” Jay Bartlett said. “When they were born, he figured he’d have 10 good years with his grandchildren. His own father lived to be 97 and died just 2 years ago, so 10 years certainly seemed possible. However, as it turned out, Dad got less than that. But he certainly made the most of the years he had with is grandchildren.” He planted seedlings from a Southern Magnolia tree in his children’s yards. The fast-growing trees would be there long after he wasn’t, to remind his grandchildren of him, Jay said. The tree in his yard is already stands above seven feet, and Jack remembers watering the sapling with his Papa. John Bartlett had been battling cancer for several years. When it returned and was diagnosed this past summer, he knew he had to step down from his reelection bid with running mate Little. Gary Quinn, Lacey Committeeman, would take his place on the ballot. John Bartlett focused on other things. “When my father realized his end was near, he made it his priority to get all of his remaining projects in his house completed, so that he could

Continued From Page 1 is, business administrator Don Guardian said. The bridge itself is static, but the road after that would be raised as it heads west. Currently, the road leading through there is more like an industrial access road. This is an area that the township recently eyed for new development: bet ween the Garden St ate Park way and Route 9, and south of West Water Street. It had been rezoned to allow for street-level retail shops close to transportation and apartments. It would be designed to be an aesthetically pleasing “sense of place” that would be “capitalizing on views of the Toms River and proximity to the historic seaport waterfront,” according to the plan. Making the streets safer is a step in that direction. There are traffic plans that would allow anyone getting off the Garden State Parkway, or heading east on Lakehurst Road, to make a right onto Highland Parkway, then make a left onto Herf licker, and then head south on Route 9 from there. This would allow commuters to bypass Water Street, which gets very congested at times. Township officials have suggested that Herf licker would be one-way heading east, and West Water Street would be one-way heading west, but that is not set in stone yet. There’s also a safety aspect. Raising
have the peace of mind that he was leaving the house to my mom in very good working order,” Jay said. On the Sunday before he died, his father asked him if he would take care of his mother. Yes, Jay said, although Peggy is the strongest person any of them know, and can take care of herself. She is the one who took care of all of them. She never left her husband’s side, making all his doctor’s appointments, ensuring he took pills, sleeping next to him at the hospital, staying with him in their Motor Road home until his last breath around 7:30 a.m. Dec. 12. When she learned that her father would be giving the eulogy, six-year-old Julia Bartlett, whose favorite memory of her grandfather was jumping on him, also wanted to say a few words. Her father read them for her. “‘Those who knew my Papa know he was a very good Papa. Thank you for coming to those who did know Papa. Some of my friends, my Papa didn’t know them, but they should have met him. Everyone knows we all miss him. And thank you Papa, for all the fun we had with you. I love you Papa.’ Julia, thank you for writing that.” John C. Bartlett Jr. is survived by his wife, Peggy; son John III and his wife Shannon and their children John IV and Julia; daughter Meg Bartlett and her husband Zach Hosseini and their children Elias and Katherine; brother Van Bartlett; and sister Nancy Keczkemethy. “He reflected on his life in the very matter-of-fact way in which he lived it. He was 71, and he told me that 71 is not old, but it’s also not young. I’ve gotten to do a lot of very good things in my life. A lot of things to be proud of. I’ve lived a full life,’” Jay Bartlett said.
Herf licker would help prevent f looding, like what happened during Superstorm Sandy. It would help it be an evacuation route. The county’s bicycle path would also be welcome to run alongside it. Herf licker is a county road, but Toms River officials really wanted the work done, so they applied for the grant and will work with the county in order to bring the project to fruition, Guardian said. South Toms River would also see the benefit of a reworked traffic signalization at the intersection of Herfl icker and Main Street. “This project has been a priority for the township for year, now we have full funding to complete these needed improvements,” stated Mayor Thomas F. Kelaher. “Toms River was the only community in New Jersey to receive a BUILD grant.” Also this year, the town acquired the Red Carpet Inn – which had attracted illegal activity - and plans on demolishing it to make way for a more attractive downtown area. The funding came from $1.5 billion in grants authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018, according to a press release. Projects were chosen based on such factors as safety, economic competitiveness, quality of life, and environmental protection. Rutala Associates, a Linwood, NJ planning firm, was retained by the township earlier this year to purse funding for this and other major projects.

Cats:
Continued From Page 1 employed at a veterinary clinic in Toms River. She founded Calling All Cats eight years ago which shelters a sanctuary for both feral and unadoptable cats on property near her single-family residence that she shares with her daughter. Some of the 44 non-feral cats are in hospice care, according to Cameron, who said that she receives some of them from local shelters who would otherwise be forced to euthanize them. “I take pride in the treatment we provide,” Cameron said. “I can tell you all their names. All the cats are spayed, neutered, vaccinated a nd m icro ch ipped ,” Ca meron said during the meeting. The area is fenced in to prevent any stray animals coming onto the property who might harm the feral cats and other animals. Cameron said a number of the feral cats who have found shelter there came f rom Seaside Heights. The borough assisted with the transfer when the cats who were living under the boardwalk were displaced when renovation in the resort town began. The shelter houses around 104 cats total at any given time. Three pot belly pigs, seven goats, five sheep, three rabbits and five dogs call the 10-acre property home. “There are no issues of the (feral cats) wandering off the property. They are war m, fed and loved here,” Cameron said. An old chicken coop on the property is utilized for the sanctuary. There will be no more (non-cats). We are limited to that.” The organization also works with fostering the cats and has 40 foster homes. The non-feral cats are not adopted. “The cats live here until the end,” Cameron said. The sheep, goats and pigs came from farms and petting zoos in the area. “They each have their own story, said Lisa Vivino of Toms River. She is one of the organization’s 50 volunteers. She visits the facility twice a week to feed
The Berkeley Times, December 22, 2018, Page 13 the cats and cleanup the sanctuary. Romeo, a black haired feline, is among Vivino’s favorites in the garage-like shelter that houses the non-feral cats. “We got him five months ago and he had a lot of scabs on his neck but he’s doing much better now. He had a pretty drastic diagnosis but we don’t think about that. We just love them all. Sara is amazing,” Vivino said of the group’s president. Cameron said that Romeo came to the sanctuary after a township resident’s home fire on Bennett Mills Road where the owner evacuated their dogs but had to leave their cats. “We were able to treat him for the skin condition he developed at the shelter he was in after the fire. He was found to have allergies and we administered medicine with a syringe each day. We found out, though, that he has feline AIDS,” Cameron said. Michele Rutkowski of Beachwood serves as the operating director of the organization. “We have a great program here.” Rutkowski said the group is grateful for the donations of food and other items that has come forward from the public, as well as financial donations. She also noted that the organization has legal and professional fees that it must pay to the township due to the use variance issue. Some of the funds that would have gone into the sanctuary had to be diverted to deal with this latest challenge. Cameron told the members of the Board of Adjustment that her desire is that should, for any reason, she no longer be able to oversee the cat sanctuary, it would be operated by her daughter Naomi Edivk, who is following in her footsteps. “She is 14 now but she grew up in this environment and is amazing. She just soaks up all the knowledge about animals and knows now the kinds of things I didn’t know until I was in my 20s.” The organization has a Facebook page which serves as its primary communication tool while its website is under construction.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Restaurants Can Be Really Noisy One of the most common hearing problems we hear about is the difficulty of hearing in noisy restaurants. It seems that along with movies, television shows, and the world in general, restaurants have become noisier than ever. Loud background music, the clatter of silverware and dishes, the sounds of other diners raising their voices to be heard, all can make the restaurant setting a challenging and frustrating place to carry on a conversation. People with normal hearing also complain about noisy restaurants. According to Sagat Surveys, noise is the second most common complaint of restaurant-goers (second only to poor service). Research has documented that the noise levels of most restaurants are loud enough to interfere with normal conversations, whether or not the individual has a hearing loss. In general, family restaurants are much quieter than the bar/ restaurant setting. The “elegant, upscale”
restaurant will always be the quietest setting by far. Apparently, patrons of more expensive restaurants receive not only better food and service for their dining dollar, they also get a better listening environment. Tips for hearing aid users in restaurants may include the following: (1) Try to sit away from the kitchen and with your back to a wall. Noise levels will be kept to a minimum and your waiter or waitress will have to face you when speaking, and (2) Try not to be a people watcher and sit towards the corner of a restaurant. You will be surprised how much better you will be hearing by preferentially situating yourself in any restaurant environment. Remember, we live in a very noisy place and even individuals with normal hearing have difficulty hearing in noisy restaurants. Utilizing effective communication strategies will help to reduce your frustration in these listening environments.
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 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!
Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
She’s Got Happy Feet And He’s Got Cold Feet Dear Joel, My husband is a charming man. He’s faithful and loves people, but when we go to parties and he hears music, he’s turns into a dancing machine. The problem is I’m not. He dances with everyone… young or old, family or friends even kids. Am I wrong to feel a little jealous when he’s dancing with other women? I’ll admit I have two left feet, but how should I deal with my resentment? Answer I’ll bet there are some women who are a little jealous of you. Most men hate dancing which may just be why your husband is so popular. I know it’s hard to sit on the sidelines, but what is really disturbing you? Are you afraid he’s flirt-
ing or that he is having a better time than you? Try enjoying his performances. You have a very rare thing, a husband who likes dancing. Some people bring their prize winning recipes to parties; you instead bring a dancing partner for all with you, which makes you very popular too. Look at your husband like he’s a bestselling book at the library; everyone shares and enjoys it and in the end, it winds back up at home. 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

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Luxurious Body Creams That Won’t Cause Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’m going to make you fall in love with body butters today! They are completely natural and insanely easy to make. You can add essential oils to make it smell lovely and then apply as liberally as you like without fear that your moisturizer will irritate your skin, provoke cancer, or disrupt your estrogen and thyroid hormone (termed endocrine disruption). This is a great gift for yourself or to your friends for occasions. Let’s face it, keeping your skin glowing and supple is no easy task, which is why most people turn to lotions to hydrate the skin. It’s instantly soothing. It’s not just women who seek soft supple skin either, many men use shaving creams that dry their faces, or they have dry elbows and heels. Don’t let the beautiful bottles trick you, there are thousands of toxins in the beauty industry and many popular lotions and creams have questionable if not serious harmful effects on your body. Sadly, price does not dictate purity, these are found in both cheap and expensive products! For example, paraffin is a petroleum-derived compound that essentially coats your skin with a thin plastic covering. Parabens are used as preservatives but might impact your cell’s ability to divide properly and disrupt normal hormone production. Many popular expensive skin creams contain antifreeze (propylene glycol) and still others contain silicone, another compound I feel is best avoided. The worst in my opinion are the perfumes because those could expose you
to a thousand different weird chemicals that are hard to unglue from your cells! My point is there are hundreds of scientific papers suggesting a correlation between cancer incidence and potent chemicals found in cosmetics, perfumes and skin care products. Body butters can be made naturally using cold-pressed extracts of either beans, seeds, or nuts. These nourishing formulas will remain solid at room temperature, but once applied, they melt into your skin. The best body butters contain healing oils that are whipped into cream. I’m thinking of cocoa, cupuacu, almond oil, coconut oil, pumpkin seed oil and jojoba oil. Creating homemade body butter out of these oils is actually a straightforward simple process that you can do with a friend or daughter. Obviously, you can buy nice body butters today online, and at retail boutiques. To fully enjoy them, just dab on your fingers and rub it where you most need moisture, for example your knuckles, hands, knees or heels. You can put it all over if you want! Body butter is intended to be concentrated so a little goes a long way. Once you experiment with making homemade body butter, you’ll never want to go back to conventional lotions. Making body butters at home is a fun way to bond with the kids and ensure purity in your skin care regimen. Sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email you the recipes so you can make your own Whipped Pumpkin Spice Body Butter and also Jasmine Lemongrass Body Butter.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SUFFERING WITH NEUROPATHY? IS THE NUMBNESS & TINGLING UNBEARABLE? Time to get your life back! This advanced, all-natural treatment can help you finally find long lasting relief. “I can’t sleep at night – It’s like constant pins & needles in my feet” Peripheral neuropathy often affects multiple facets of a person’s life; they can’t sleep, they’re constantly suffering, and can’t enjoy life the way they used to. Whether this sounds like what you’ve been dealing with, or if you’ve only just begun to feel the numbness, tingling, or pain associated with neuropathy, it’s important you take action to find relief. So many people suffering from neuropathy try lots of exhausting treatment options and medications with little success. That is no longer necessary with this innovative program by Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, covered by most major insurance providers including Medicare. We’re offering FREE consultations ($245 value) for our neuropathy treatment – call 732-345-1377 to reserve your consult to learn what custom treatment program our doctors can create for you.
If you’re interested in learning firsthand about this breakthrough treatment, call for a completely FREE initial consult ($245 value) – 732-345-1377. But hurry, this valuable offer is only available to the first 17 callers! Forget about drugs with nasty side effects, or being told to “just live with it” Doctors who couldn’t help you, failed attempts to find relief, endless frustration: these are things of the past. The team of experts at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation (MPR) offer holistic and effective solutions to your numbness, tingling, burning, and pins & needles sensations. At MPR, it’s all about YOU and your needs. Each patient receives a customized treatment program, a curated combination of the most trusted and successful technologies that actually have an effect of your symptoms, without having to take more medications. This treatment is unique and works FAST K-Laser therapy at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation has been proven to reduce the painful and numbing symptoms of neuropathy, whether patients are in the early stages, or have been suffering for years and are finally seeking treatment. Tom P., an MPR patient, explains, “I could barely feel anything happening during my laser treatment except for a bit of a warm feeling. I knew it had to be working though, because I could tell a difference even when I went home that day. And now, months later, I feel SO much better!” In addition, the doctors use non-invasive care to eliminate any nerve issues, which effectively gets to the root of your pain. They then treat the symptoms, allowing you to not only feel relief, but also address the cause of your pain. Special low-force instrumentation frees the nerves to eliminate any damage caused by old herniated discs or arthritis. One of the especially distinctive characteristics of the neuropathy treatment at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation is their use of Power Plate© technology, which stimulates the body’s natural reflexive response through vibration. This immensely increases blood and nutrient circulation to the nerve cells. What are you waiting for? This treatment is DIFFERENT, SUCCESSFUL, and the initial consultation is FREE! You have nothing to lose. The team of doctors at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation aims to help their patients get their lives back. Living in pain or trying ineffective treatments time and time again are a thing of the past. Call today for your free consult – 732-345-1377.

Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fees
• Community Information • Restaurant Listings • Local Businesses AND MUCH MORE...
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset
which does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. 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 Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

OPEN DAILY YEAR ROUND!
–Photo courtesy BTSD BERKELEY – At the December 10 PTA Meeting, the H&M Potter Student Council and Ms. Melanson presented the Buddy Bench. Last year’s Student Council Executive Board joined us for this special event, as they were the ones to initiate this project. With their help and the help of the PTA, the bench was purchased. At the meeting Student Council dedicated the bench to Dr. Zito and thanked him for making a difference at Potter School. Students discussed the Power of One and how it only takes one gesture, act, deed, etc. to make a difference. Potter Students will now be singing “It’s All About That Bench!” as they put an end to bullying!

“Cloudy, with a Chance of Pain” - Weather and Joint Pain
H
By: Ashley Hansen PT, DPT
ave you ever noticed an increase pain or soreness when it’s raining? The old wives’ tale says that the change in weather can cause joint pain. Well it turns out, they’re right! Based on recent evidence the change in barometric pressure, especially a decrease in pressure, does affect joint receptors in the joints, thus increasing pain. WHAT IS BAROMETRIC PRESSURE? This is the pressure of the atmosphere pressing down on earth’s surface. Barometric pressure is based on air density, which is determined by temperature, and the height above earth’s surface. It is measured in milli-bars (mb), where 1 mlbar is equal to 1 atmosphere of pressure (1.01325 bars), therefore pressure decreases as altitude increase. Standard pressure at sea-level is 1013.2 mb, or 30 mmHg. Barometric pressure can range from about 2831 mmHg. Humidity can also increase atmospheric pressure, and is the amount of moisture in the air. When there is more pressure pressing down on the earth (including you and your joints), it results in less activity in the atmosphere, subsequently resulting in “fair weather”, which is typically greater than 30 mmHg. When air rises, moisture in the air cools down the higher it gets, increasing condensation and cloud formation. When the atmosphere gets too full of moisture, precipitation forms, and the result is either rain or snow, depending on the temperature. If the pressure drops below 30 mmHg, it’s considered to be “low”.
JOINT ANATOMY Baroreceptors are nerve endings that are found in joints and other tissues throughout the body that detects change in pressure. The joint cavity, articular cartilage, and surrounding bone in the joint are richly innervated (contains nerves) by these pressure receptors. With osteoarthritis (OA), the articular cartilage that surrounds the joints breaks down, thus changing the amount of space, and pressure within the joint. It is also common to have swelling and effusion (excess fluid in the joint) with OA. One study performed in 2011 suggested the fluid that is found naturally in the joints can change with the shift in temperature. When the temperature is cold, the fluid can become thicker, which can increase pressure in the joint, thus triggering baroreceptors. Studies have shown increased weather sensitivity in people who have experienced physical trauma, from a surgery, joint replacements, and fractures. Current research has shown how change in atmospheric pressure affects joint pain. One study looked at the effects of weather affecting joint pain and mood. It showed an association between areas with low pressure and increased pain, and decreased mood. The results were inconclusive whether the decreased mood was the result of poor weather or increased pain. Another study conducted in 2018, showed that women were more sensitive to changes in humidity, whereas men were more sensitive to changes in temperature. This could be due to changes in temperature which causes a reaction in the body to prevent heat loss. Temperature also acts as an instant stressor on the different body systems. In comparison, humidity affects perceived temperature rather than temperature itself and thus is more related with a person’s comfort. However, since there is more moisture in the air, it can create more pressure on the body.
HOW TO MANAGE PAIN One way to help manage arthritis symptoms can be to change the environment around you. One article suggests adjust the temperature in the house. One study recommended using a dehumidifier in order to reduce the humidity in the house to decrease the joint pain. In cases of post-operative surgeries or replacements, ice is helpful to decrease edema (excess fluid) and pressure around the joint.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of dec 22 - dec 28 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may receive your five minutes of fame or favoritism in the upcoming week. If you prove you are knowledgeable you could receive more attention than usual. Use wisdom when spending your hard-earned cash. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are never too tired to be inspired. For the next few days your amorous fantasies seem to be your only reality. By the end of the week, however, you will need to buckle down and pay attention to the material world. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What you really want is right beneath your nose. Events or comments from a partner may lead you to believe there is something greener on the other side of the fence. Be content with your position in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Find something new to show off or enjoy. You may be excited to learn about new technology that can make your life easier and simpler. During the week ahead steer clear of intrigues and people who may have hidden agendas. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. New traditions must start someplace, and you can lead the way. You prefer to do things in a “different” way but understand your partner’s need for traditions, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The tried and true will never make you blue. Relationships that aren’t built on a solid foundation of trust and loyalty may fall apart in the week ahead. You may be attracted
to someone who isn’t quite right for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Wear it and share it. If you are heading off to preholiday celebrations this week you should be prepared to flaunt your most dazzling finery. This is a good week for travel, parties, or to experiment with something unusual. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are eager to try something new at the drop of the hat. Relationships are stimulating, and you may be tempted to buy impulse items just for fun. By the end of the week, however, you must be more serious. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a run at some fun. In the week ahead, you may be filled with the traditional holiday spirit but are also willing to try something unconventional. You can sparkle when you are the stage or in charge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): An inspiring and imaginative viewpoint could wake up and invigorate people you know who are suffering from lethargy. This is a good week to pursue your farfetched fantasies and show off your know-how. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): During the week ahead, you may see a different side of your favorite partner. Go along for the ride and you may have an exhilarating experience. This is an excellent week to experiment with new ideas and techniques. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could feel more attractive than usual in the week ahead and assume that admiration is your right. Loved ones may be upset if you forget to treat them as though they were the most valuable players on your team.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cookie Classic: Holiday Baking Made Easy By Wolfgang Puck
As Christmas draws nearer, many people begin to feel the pressure of getting ready for the holiday. There are still gifts to buy, decorations to put up, festive outfits to choose and menus to plan. Unfortunately, all that busy activity can mean that, with every passing day, there is less and less time for baking holiday cookies. The solution so many people fall back on can be summed up in three words: slice and bake. Those tubes of prepared dough in the supermarket refrigerated case can begin to look mighty tempting. After all, it doesn’t take much time or effort to preheat the oven, open the plastic wrapper, cut the dough into disks, arrange them on a baking sheet and turn out batch after batch. Many of the triedand-true brands taste pretty good too. But I have an alternative approach that won’t take very much longer but will yield results that taste even better. How about stealing a little bit of time from other chores to make your own sliceand-bake cookie dough in batches big enough to have enough on hand whenever the urge strikes for homemade, freshly baked cookies? The following recipe I share here for macadamia butter cookies, a crispy, buttery, nutty-tasting favorite from the early days of my Spago restaurant, is a perfect example. The recipe calls for just six ingredients, and the only one you probably don’t already have on hand is the macadamia nuts. (Feel free to substitute chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts.) Including kitchen setup and all the measuring and prep, the dough doesn’t take much more than about 20 minutes to make and wrap, and it will keep for up to five days in the refrigerator. Since each of the logs of dough yields about three dozen cookies, and you don’t have to use a whole log at once, you’ll be ready to slice and bake those cookies at a moment’s notice. Even better, once cooled, the baked cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for two to three weeks. If you like, and have a little extra time, you can also decorate the cookies after they cool using your favorite recipe for a quick icing. Voila! You not only have perfect cookies, but also a great holiday arts-and-crafts project to keep kids and grown-ups alike happily busy. MACADAMIA BUTTER COOKIES Makes about 6 dozen
1 pound (500 g) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 3 1/2 cups (875 mL) all-purpose flour 2 large egg yolks 1/3 cup (80 mL) mild-flavored honey 1 cup (250 mL) coarsely chopped macadamia nuts In the large bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle or beater attachments, or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter at low speed until it begins to soften. Add the sugar and, as soon as it is incorporated into the butter, raise the speed to high and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Sift the flour into a separate bowl, and set aside. While beating the butter-sugar mixture at medium speed, add the egg yolks and beat just until incorporated. Reduce the speed to low, add the honey and beat briefly; then add the flour, and beat until incorporated. Add the nuts, and beat just until they’re mixed in. With a dough scraper or sturdy rubber spatula, scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a clean work surface. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Divide the dough in half and, on a lightly floured work surface, use clean hands to roll the dough into an even log shape about 12 inches (30 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Wrap each log in waxed paper and keep refrigerated until ready to slice and bake the cookies. Before baking the cookies, position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line one or two baking trays with parchment paper and set aside. Remove one log from the refrigerator. Unwrap it and, with a sharp knife, slice the dough crosswise into slices about 1/3 inch (8 mm) wide, arranging the slices about 2 inches apart on the lined baking tray. Repeat with the remaining log, or keep it in the refrigerator for another use. Bake the cookies until golden brown, about 10 minutes, rotating them back to front after 5 minutes. With a wide metal spatula, transfer the hot cookies from the baking tray to a wire rack to cool. Once the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at a cool room temperature.
