–Photo by Jennifer Peacock Freeholder John Bartlett addresses the crowd for the reopening of Berkeley Island County Park. By Patricia A. Miller BERKELEY – The year began with the swearing in of the four incumbent Republican council members James Byrnes, Sophia Gingrich, Angelo Guadagno, and Judith Noonan - to new terms. Their terms run until the end of 2021. Byrnes was selected to serve as council president for the year. There were no municipal elections in November. However, next year the mayoral seat is up. Current Mayor Carmen F. Amato Jr. told The Berkeley Times he plans to seek a third term next year.

Winter Storms The winter of 2018 was relentless. The first blizzard came in early January. Another followed at the end of the month. Berkeley received the most snow in Ocean County during both storms, according to the National Weather Service. Four, count them, four Nor’easters hit just in March.

Township Council Says No To Pot Sales In Berkeley The Township Council adopted an ordinance that forbids the sale of marijuana even if it becomes legalized in the state. Mayor Amato called it a “gateway” drug that leads to other more harmful drugs. “For every pro, there’s 10 against,” Council President James Byrnes said. The sale of marijuana for medicinal use is more appropriate, but even that can be abused. Byrnes said he would rather see the penalties for marijuana possession lessened than to see it legalized. “In half of our dropouts, the common denominator is pot,” he said. Golf Course Privatized The Township Council decided to privatize the municipally owned Cedar Creek Golf Course, since it had lost money for many years. (Look Back - See Page 4)

County Buys Open Space For Bike Path

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – On the recommendation of the county’s Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee, the Ocean County Freeholders approved the purchase of more than 27 acres in three locations in Toms River. The county will purchase 6.99

acres on Cleveland Street, 4.98 acres on Sayreville Street (both off Route 527), and 15.4 acres on North Bay Avenue just south of Green Leaf Court. The Cleveland Street property sits adjacent to 111 acres of wetlands and conservation easement lands. The headwaters of the Toms River run nearby.

–Photo courtesy Andy Kim Congressman-elect Andy Kim poses at a recent meeting of the Beachwood Democrats. By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – When Andy Kim was on the campaign trail, he said he heard a lot of similar worries. Job security was a big one – people wanted to make sure that their jobs would still be there in the future. That’s why he said he wants to address this issue. He was recently meeting residents at Democrat events in the area, and stopped at the Beachwood Community Center. He said he applied to be on the House Armed Services Committee and Committee on Small Business. These are two places he feels he could do the most good. The committee assignments were not made by press time. These committees encompass two large realms: entrepreneurs and the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which is one of the region’s largest employers. He said he wants to make sure that it remains strong in coming years. The base has occasionally wound up on the list for Base Realignment and Closure. Outside of the big, most pressing issues, there are individual problems that he wants to be responsive to. These are the constituent concerns. They might not make headlines, but they greatly impact the quality of life of a household. “That’s going to be my top priority,” he said. He wants to dedicate the bulk of his resources to that. He’s not allowed to hire (Andy Kim - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 Atlantic Golf Management took over in the spring. Both the management company and township officials said that the golfing experience would be the same or better. The course lost six figures a year each year for the last decade. This amounts to $2,473,000 in losses since 2007. Prior to that, it did make money. Additionally, township officials were looking back on $2,387,000 in capital investments dating back to 1999. “The taxpayers of Berkeley Township have subsidized the golf operations nearly $2.5 million over the last 10 years in addition to providing nearly $2.4 million of additional funding for capital improvements. Capital improvements are both equipment and course improvements,” Mayor Amato said. “That is a cost of nearly $5 million of taxpayers’ funds. It is unacceptable.” Amato said at a December council meeting the course was now showing revenue. Oyster Creek Shuts Down Although Oyster Creek Generating Station is in Lacey, its closure impacts its neighbors. The oldest nuclear plant in the United States shut down permanently on Sept. 17, nearly 49 years since it began operations. Oyster Creek went online on Dec. 23, 1968. It was announced earlier this year that Exelon Generation, owner of the plant, wants to sell Oyster Creek’s license to Holtec International, a Camden-based dry cask storage manufacturer. The NRC is currently reviewing the terms of the sale to Holtec; a decision is expected to be made by May 2019. Exelon surprised many when officials announced the plant in Lacey Township would close fourteen months earlier than expected, in part because of economic reasons. “Lacey Township has been working with other entities to bring in an alternative power source to the site,” Lacey Committeeman Nicholas Juliano said. “In addition, we have been working with the office of state planning for approval on our Plan Endorsement Town Center application that will allow for more impervious coverage on our commercial ratable properties, allowing for expansion and redevelopment on many of the commercial sites along the Route 9 and Lacey Road corridor to help offset tax base loss from Oyster Creek closing.” Berkeley Island County Park Reopens The popular Berkeley Island County Park in Bayville finally reopened, much to the delight of residents. The park had been closed for six years since Superstorm Sandy battered it into near oblivion. The park was later renamed in October after Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who was instrumental in getting the park on Barnegat Bay renovated and reopened. The park retained much of its original character with some upgrades. It has a fishing pier picnic area with a pavilion. The new feature is the county’s first splash park, inspired by a splash park Bartlett visited in Philadelphia.

New Turf Field Installed The Township Council received $750,000 for the field from the state Department of Environmental Protection for a new turf

field in Veterans Park. The township made up the $50,000 difference for the $800,000 field. The turf was installed at the Sam Pepe Memorial Field. The location already has bleachers, lighting, and a concession stand. Anyone can use the field, but Berkeley residents have first priority. The township joined a cooperative purchasing agreement with Keystone Purchasing Network. These agreements are ways for towns to buy things that other towns are buying so they get a group discount. The actual cost that came in at about $804,000. Enrollment Up At Central School officials say that increasing enrollment is one of the main causes of the proposed increase to the district budget. The total budget would be $40,567,096, an increase of $1,330,886 over this year’s $39,236,210. The amount to be raised by taxes would be $33,006,880, an increase of $1,303,884 from this 2017-2018’s $31,702,996. Central Regional is made up of five sending districts, each affected differently by the budget. Business Administrator Kevin O’Shea said that the tax levy has increased by 1.97 percent over the course of the last three budget years, while enrollment has increased by 2.97 percent. “If our projections for next year are correct, our enrollment will have increased by nearly 200 students within 3 years,” he said. “In order to maintain a good educational structure and maintain our ideal class sizes, we felt it was imperative to put additional teaching positions into the budget as well. This budget addresses our rising enrollment in a way that will benefit everyone.” Wunder Wiener Owner Badly Injured, Business Destroyed The man whose car slammed into Gerry LaCrosse’s popular food stand, destroyed it and nearly killed him in a crash in June was sentenced to careless driving in Municipal Court in December. The other charges were dropped as a result of a plea bargain that LaCrosse agreed to, Municipal Court Judge James J. Gluck said. Berkeley police originally charged Mark Poplawski, Lacey Township, with careless driving, reckless driving, failure to maintain lane, driving in an unsafe manner, operating a motor vehicle on public lands, and failure to exhibit registration, Berkeley police said. Poplawski first told police he may have fallen asleep when the accident occurred. But he later told police he didn’t remember falling asleep and didn’t remember the accident. Poplawski will pay a $236 fine and $33 in court costs for the careless driving charge. “Your remedies lie in the civil courts,” Gluck told LaCrosse. James Butler, Poplawksi’s attorney, said his client has no memory of the accident. Butler apologized for the accident. “It was not an intentional act,” he said. “My client doesn’t remember. He can’t put on the record what occurred because he can’t exactly remember.” LaCrosse, a Beachwood councilman, is still recovering from his injuries. He hopes to rebuild his business.

Open Space:

Continued From Page 1 Gerry P. Little said. “It also has approvals for an 18-lot subdivision, and so it’s very important to conserve this area. It is a forested area.” The wooded Sayreville Street property also sits adjacent to that 111 acres of wetland and conservation easement lands. It was approved for two single-family home lots. “These two acquisitions are adjacent to each other,” Little said of this and the Cleveland Street purchase. The county had one professional appraisal completed and will purchase the land for $110,000 plus up to $467 in property tax adjustments. The North Bay Avenue acquisition “is very important environmentally, and a greenway,” Little said. It’s near the Kettle Creek watershed conservation area and the North Bay Avenue extension area. That property, subdivided for 18 homes, will be purchased for $2 million plus up to $6,304 in property tax adjustments. The county ordered two professional appraisals for this property. The county seeks the approval of such purchases from the townships first, since that property will be removed from tax rolls once owned by the county. The Toms

Kim unseated two-term Congressman Tom MacArthur in a narrow election. Kim’s 153,473 won over MacArthur’s 149,500. It was a tale of two counties, as MacArthur won the more Republican county, Ocean (MacArthur: 78,221; Kim: 46,564) but Kim won the more Democrat county, Burlington (MacArthur: 71,279; Kim: 105,909).

The Berkeley Times, January 5, 2019, Page 5 River Council approved these acquisitions back in November. Public comment was open on all three purchases, though no one offered comment at the Freeholder meeting. Previously, residents of Green Leaf Court, neighbors of the North Bay property, had petitioned the township to buy the land, providing photos of endangered wildlife on the site. The township instead looked to the county to purchase it. The Natural Lands Trust program is dedicated to protecting open space in Ocean County. The fund was approved by Ocean County voters in 1997, and established a 1.2-cent tax to fund land acquisitions. The program generates about $8 million per year. A nine-member advisory committee, established in 1998, nominates properties for the Freeholders to consider. Freeholder director Gerry Little has said that in a county that’s 408,000 acres, about 60 percent of it is permanently protected against development through Pinelands, state parks and 21,000 acres preserved through the natural lands and farmlands programs.

Continued From Page 4 Samuel R. Britton, Berkeley’s First Police Chief, Dies At 90 Samuel R. Britton Sr., the township’s first police chief, died on Nov. 3 at Community Medical Center, surrounded by his family. He was 90. He leaves a legacy that will probably not be surpassed in the future. Britton became the township’s first chief in 1954, when Berkeley had only a few officers in a township that was largely rural. By the time he retired in 1984, the department was a large and progressive agency. Bayville Dinosaur Is Back And Better Than Ever The renovation of Bud, the newly renamed Bayville dinosaur, is finally complete. His body has been moved further back from his former perilous perch on Route 9. His new head and neck no longer jut out so close to the heavily trafficked highway. They now point north, not east. And if you drive by Bud at night, you can see his sparkling new amber glass eyes. He used to have lit eyes years ago, but not for some time. He even has a slight smile. But his new look has been a long time coming. The Save the Dinosaur Committee was formed three years ago. Just why the improvements took several years to complete depends on who you talk to. Anthony Zangari, who owns the Heritage Square complex on Route in Bayville, became the dinosaur’s owner when he bought the property several years ago. Zangari doesn’t want to focus on what happened to the original project. He wants to concentrate on Bud’s future. New Water Filtration Residents complained about water issues with Aqua America, and the company worked on the installation of a new iron filtration system this year. Residents said the water was discolored and had an odor. They were also concerned about radionuclides. Aqua represen-

The Berkeley Times, January 5, 2019, Page 7 tatives said that the new filtration system would take care of the iron in the water, and they are continually working to reduce the amount of contaminants, even naturally occurring ones like radionuclides. Traffic Light At Frederick A new traffic light was installed at the intersection of Frederick Drive and Route 9. Although some complained about having yet another light on 9, many locals had wanted it for a number of years. There have been at least three fatalities at that intersection and numerous other injuries. It is impossible to say how many near-misses there have been. Thieving Attorney Sentenced Robert Novy used to have a good name in this county. With an office in Manchester, he was known as an elder law expert, advertising his specialties on local media. Doctors and bankers gave him referrals. People then learned that he had been robbing from clients who were not of sound mind, and who had no close relatives to advocate for them. In court, his prosecutors accused him of being a predator that victimized easy targets. The state’s investigation found about $3 million stolen from at least two dozen victims. Because of his victims’ state of mind and health, the total number of victims and money stolen might never be known. He was jailed for 10 years. He has to pay $4 million in restitution: $3 million to the known victims, and $1 million must be set aside for any future victims that are found from further investigation. Opioid Epidemic Continues According to Ocean County figures, there were 53 overdose deaths in 2012. This doubled to 112 reported overdose deaths in 2013. That number would almost double again to 216 in 2016, before dropping to 163 in 2017. However, the county is back up to 193 as of Dec. 4. With a new governor came a new Ocean County Prosecutor. Joseph Coronato’s five-

year term was up, and Bradley Billhimer was chosen as his successor. Billhimer pledged to continue Coronato’s Blue HART (Heroin Addiction Recovery Treatment) program, which allows addicts to come to certain police stations and get help without fear of arrest. He also will look to expand drug education in school. Local officers were part a multi-state drug bust that led to 28 drug arrests, three fugitive warrants issued, and nine illicit drug facilities. More than 90,000 dosage units of heroin, more than 19 lbs. of cocaine, 20 fire arms, 27 mostly high-end vehicles, and $848,481 were seized. The task force worked in Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Passaic, and Union counties and the Bronx in New York. Locally, search warrants were executed in Brick, Howell, Jackson, Lakewood and Toms River. One local production facility found on East Connecticut Concourse in Jackson was dismantled. Gun Violence Elsewhere Impacts County The shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on Feb. 14, claimed 17 lives. And while there’s been no shortage of mass shootings, this particular one sparked changes in how school security is handled. Several school districts made physical improvements to their buildings, such as bullet-resistant windows, security systems, doors and vestibules. They also expanded police presence in schools. The students coped with it as best as they could. Several schools, like Southern Regional and Central Regional high schools, held walkouts. Some schools were restricted from leaving the building for security reasons. Donovan Catholic held a prayer service. “People our age should never have to deal with this,” said Laura Esposito, a Southern student who helped organize the walkout. She noted that the shooting struck very close to home when she heard about it, reminding her that she and her friends at Southern Regional could have just as easily been victims.

New Performing Arts Academy Ground was broken on the campus of Ocean County College for the new Ocean County Vocational Technical School Performing Arts Academy The new OCVTS Performing Arts Academy will be a 50,000-square-foot building intended to “provide a rigorous education for creatively gifted high school students, (offering) majors in theater, vocal, dance, and audio engineering,” according to their press release. The construction of the building is already underway, and is expected to be completed by December 2019. The PAA is a four-year public high school, currently located at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. When the announcement of the new academy was made last year, it came as welcome news. The current location is distant and difficult to get to and from. The academy will provide students with credits for college. In collaboration with OCC, OCVTS’s early college program will allow high school students to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate’s degree from OCC at the same time. Students will be exiting high school already halfway to a bachelor’s degree, all for a fraction of the tuition cost of a university degree. In turn, OCC students will be able to use the new building at night. The state will fund $10.6 million toward the funding of the construction. Ocean County and the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation will each contribute $8 million. OCC will provide $2 million. Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. Dies Longtime Ocean County Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. died in December at his Pine Beach home, after a hard fought battle with colorectal cancer. Bartlett was the longest serving freeholder in the history of New Jersey. He announced at his last freeholder meeting that his health would prevent him from running for another term. Lacey Township Committeeman Gary Quinn won the seat in November. - Chris Lundy contributed to this story

Berkeley Employees Place In Snow Plow Rodeo

–Photo courtesy Berkeley Township BERKELEY – Two Berkeley Township employees were recognized recently for their extraordinary driving skills demonstrated at the 2nd Annual Snow Plow Rodeo! The Snow Plow Rodeo is an event that recognizes the hard working and professional drivers in municipalities of the Garden State Municipal Joint Insurance Fund. All members were invited to send representatives from their Roads and Public Works Departments to test their skills steering

through an obstacle course of left and right turns, maneuvering around parked cars and moving through a series of cones. Ken Anderson, our Code Enforcement Officer, took second place in the CDL driver category and Jim Sperber, the Township’s Parks & Beaches Supervisor, also achieved a high score. Drivers were timed for speed, safe driving and judged for effectively pushing snow (markers) while avoiding parked cars and other obstacles.

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.

Alternative Treatments For Seizure Management

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Epilepsy is frustrating and difficult on one’s life. It can show up many ways, from mild absence seizures, to grand mal, to cyclic vomiting and nocturnal seizuresß. Medications such as gabapentin, phenytoin, valproate, topiramate, carbamazepine and others may control symptoms for a while, but they’re not a cure. No one has the answer to all types of seizures, because the origin differs. Knowing what raises or lowers your threshold becomes imperative to reducing frequency. For example, becoming dehydrated, upset or taking too hot a shower can trigger a seizure. Sleep deprivation, a stressful interaction with someone or too much glutamate or caffeine can all reduce your seizure threshold, causing an episode. Here are some popular medications that reduce seizure threshold and increase seizure frequency: • Antihistamines • Insulin and diabetes medications • Oxytocin • Maprotiline • Clomipramine • Clozapine • Lithium • Fluoroquinolone antibiotics • Methylphenidate • Metronidazole or Tinidazole Schizandra herb Animal research suggests that impaired methylation (reduced folate, which is not folic acid by the way) can damage the hippocampus and result in post-seizure memory loss. Reduced folate transport to the brain led to seizures, cognitive impairment, immune suppression, and anemia in a 7 year girl. When the child was given a little methylfolate (not folic acid), her condition substantially improved. You can protect your brain from seizures naturally. Consider compounds known to raise threshold, reducing seizure incidents: • Magnesium

• Omega 3 fish oils • Grape seed extract • CBD or cannibidiol, an extract from marijuana That last one might shock you, as it is from marijuana but CBD, a non-psychoactive hemp extract is federally legal now since President Trump recently signed the bill. That means that people in pain, and those with seizures have easier access and possibly a cure. Fish oils are essential for cell membrane stability in trillions of your cells. They’re critical for neurological function and work by reducing nerve irritation or excitability in the brain. This means that your nerves aren’t so easily over stimulated and seizure-inducing compounds are less likely to be released. In 2015, a case-controlled study involving 70 children was published in the New American Journal of Medical Science. The kids all had uncontrolled, chronic seizures. Thirty-five of the children were given omega 3 fish oil (containing EPA and DHA), while everyone else received a placebo. After three months, the number of children without seizure activity went from no one to 57%. No improvements happened in the placebo group. Another study confirmed omega 3’s benefits for epilepsy in adults. In this study, participants with drug-resistant seizures took about 1,000 mg omega 3 fish oils supplements every day. This went on for three different ten-week treatment periods. There was an incredible 34% reduction in seizure frequency compared to the placebo group. Fish oil isn’t the only “brain food” for epilepsy. Grape seed extract is another protective compound. It protects your hippocampus which houses one of your seizure ‘switches.’ Grape seed extract turns off the seizure switch. Finally, keep in mind that chamomile, ginkgo and St. John’s wort may interact with your medication.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Wife Is A Compulsive Spender Dear Joel, My wife is a compulsive spender. Half the groceries she buys end up in the garbage. We have enough canned goods to last us for years. When I go into her closets, the amount of items that have new tickets hanging off of them is appalling. The same goes for her shoes. When it comes to holidays, she treats everyone with the same over indulgence. I look at the credit card bills and am sickened by the wasted dollars each month.

contributes to household expenses, I don’t want to judge her behavior. There are many people who buy luxury cars that may add up to significantly more than what she is spending. As I don’t get a perfect read on what is truly going on in your home, I will suggest counseling if what you are describing is truly a disorder. There are medications that could help if it is compulsive behavior. Best of luck.

Answer: While it sounds as if there is a problem, you don’t tell me whether or not she works and is spending her own money. Without knowing whether or not she

Inside The Law New Jersey’s Wrongful Death Law

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Michael J. Deem and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & 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 Trail 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

SUPERIOR

specifically states that “the amount recovered in proceedings under this chapter shall be for Michael J. Deem 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 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.

Land Acquired For Trail

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – The Board of Chosen Freeholders accepted two natural lands trust fund recommendations for acquisition, one donation and one purchase, and both related to the Barnegat Brach Trail. Berkeley Township has agreed to donate four lots to the county - identified as Block 796, lots 29 and 20, and Block 797, lots 17 and 18 - and vacate a paper street called Laurence Avenue for the county to build a permanent restroom facility for the trail. The land is immediately adjacent to Dudley Park and a parking lot. Berkeley Township had agreed with the county a while back that park visitors should have an easy access point to the trail. “Berkeley Township granted us this little right-of-way to get to the trail,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said recently. Since 2011, a portable toilet has been placed where the permanent structure with regularly pumped tank toilets will be built. “As part of this agreement, we agreed to put a permanent toilet in there at some

point in time, because the campground was concerned that people would trespass on their property and use their toilets,” Little said, referring to the Cedar Creek Campground. The Freeholders also approved the purchase of a 0.36-acre lot located on Egenolf Place for $75,000 and up to $200 property tax adjustment. The landowner was not named during the hearing. “It’s adjacent to the Barnegat Branch Trail. It provides a buffer,” Little said, pointing out that the surrounding land is all owned by Berkeley Township. “We build a buffer along the trail to keep it private and so it doesn’t impact on the nearby communities and residences. So it’s a good thing. It keeps people from trespassing.” Little said the purchase price is below the asking price, but at the appraisal price. The Barnegat Branch Trail, which officially opened Oct. 15, 2007, will be a 15.6-mile trail between Toms River and Barnegat. Although it’s open, it is still under construction.

Free Full Day Preschool Registration For 2019-2020

BERKELEY – Berkeley Township School District is pleased to offer a free full day preschool program for the 2019-2020 school year for all residents who will be 3 or 4 years old on or before October 1, 2019. Registration will

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 5 - jan 11

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t impose unnecessary limits on yourself. You can achieve any goal through simple willpower. A sustained effort will erode any walls or barriers that stand in your way. Perseverance is the key this week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Old friends or past problems could be on your mind in the week ahead. You may be more ambitious or focused on completing end of the year tasks. You will have more time for fun and games by next weekend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put on a happy face. No matter how far down in the dumps you feel inside you should display a cheerful exterior. Go out of your way to please a loved one as this week unfolds and share a sense of adventure. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You won’t see the entire picture until the puzzle is complete. You may not know what you will find early in the week but given adequate time and patience you will piece together the reason for someone’s actions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The short work week ahead might challenge you to organize your long list of duties in an efficient way. Look forward to a day of relaxation that will help you regain focus and move forward as the week progresses. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pace yourself. You may feel compelled to work hard but remember to take a break when necessary. You’ll shine much brighter as a supporting player than as the star of the show. Manage your time carefully. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can’t let your

hair down when you are forced to keep spirits up. Social affairs challenge you to honor professional duties in a formal, strait-laced and diplomatic manner. Be responsible and dutiful in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may be generous to a fault in the week ahead. You may spend money indiscriminately or feel the need to show off. A budding relationship has potential but may be on the back burner for a few days. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Good deeds will be repaid if you extend a helping hand to someone. You may feel a nagging need to economize after holiday excesses. You may benefit from implementing a strict budget in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You might be elected to be designated driver of your gang. If you must paint the town red, be sure you don’t wield a brush at anything you shouldn’t. Don’t push your luck or break the rules and laws this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Recharge the batteries. The holiday rush may have left you feeling a bit drained. The week ahead may offer an excellent chance to get back in the swing of things by performing light duty around the house or office. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pull the proverbial thorn from your side. A nagging situation or problem could put you on edge in the week to come, but a few hours of hard work will eliminate your worries. You will reach your goals despite delays.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Healthy New Year! See In The New Year With An Easy, Elegant Main Dish By Wolfgang Puck

“I’ll start my diet tomorrow” may be one of the statements most frequently made on Dec. 31. Just as we’re planning a high-spirited New Year’s Eve dinner, we’re also beginning to think about New Year’s resolutions that will probably include healthy eating and weight loss. But a wise person once told me that one of the best ways to spend the last night of the year is to start practicing habits you’d like to follow in the year to come. Which leads to the question: How do you make your New Year’s Eve menu as festive as possible while also following healthy eating principles? Please let me suggest one simple solution: Choose ingredients that are not only good for you but also taste delicious, and prepare and present them in a way that is simultaneously health-conscious and elegant. If that sounds ambitious, I’m happy to share a perfect example with my recipe for pan-seared salmon fillets with rustic pesto, cherry tomatoes and vegetable “spaghetti.” Let’s start with the good-for-you part of the recipe. Salmon is a superbly healthy main-dish ingredient; an excellent source of lean protein that is also rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. I accompany the salmon with vegetable “spaghetti”: vitamin-packed fresh vegetables cut into long, thin strands. And I top it up all with a rustic pesto sauce that uses far less oil and fewer pine nuts than found in the traditional recipe. As for deliciousness worthy of a special meal, this recipe doesn’t hold back. Salmon is luxuriously rich in flavor and texture, especially when cooked medium-rare. The pesto, even in this leaner version, packs a big punch of flavor. And the vegetable strands surprisingly offer much of the pleasure you’d get from eating a starchy bowl of pasta. One look at the results leaves no doubt that this makes a perfect choice for an end-year celebration. The swirl of brightly colored vegetables, the vivid green and red of the pesto and tomatoes, and the rose-pink salmon add up to a presentation that may remind you of a beautiful fireworks display. You’ll also be surprised by how easy the dish is to put together. You can prep the vegetables in advance, the pesto takes 5 minutes to put together, and the final cooking and plating will take no more than 15 minutes. This will leave you, the host, plenty of time for one more glass of Champagne - a small indulgence with which to toast a new year of healthy, flavorful eating. PAN-SEARED SALMON FILLETS WITH RUSTIC PESTO, CHERRYTOMATOES, AND VEGETABLE “SPAGHETTI” Serves 4 RUSTIC PESTO AND CHERRY TOMATOES: 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in halves Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper VEGETABLE SPAGHETTI AND PAN-SEARED SALMON: 2 medium zucchini, trimmed 1 medium yellow squash, or 1 extra zucchini, trimmed 2 large carrots, peeled and trimmed 3 radishes, trimmed 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 4 portions center-cut salmon fillet, each about 6 ounces (185 g) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Edible organic flowers, for garnish, optional To make the pesto, put the basil, olive oil, Parmesan, pine nuts and garlic in a mixing bowl. Stir well. Add the cherry tomatoes and stir again to coat them thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. For the vegetable spaghetti, use a spiralizer to cut the zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, and radishes into spaghetti-like strands; or, if you don’t have a spiralizer, cut them using a mandolin or by carefully cutting them lengthwise into thin slices and then stacking the slices and cutting them lengthwise into similar thin strands. Set aside all the vegetable spaghetti in a bowl, tossing them together. Season the salmon fillets to taste on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 4 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a saute pan large enough to hold all the fillets comfortably in a single layer. When the oil is hot enough to shimmer slightly, carefully add the fillets and cook until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning them only once; the fish should still look a slightly deeper rose color at the center when a small knife-tip is inserted between the flakes near the thickest part. When the fish is done to your liking, transfer to a plate and keep warm. In a clean pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the vegetable spaghetti, season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir and toss continuously until the strands are brightly colored and have softened slightly, about 1 minute. Using tongs, arrange beds of the vegetable spaghetti on individual heated serving plates. Place a salmon fillet on top of the vegetable spaghetti on each plate. Spoon the pesto-tomato mixture over and around the salmon. If you like, garnish with edible flowers. Serve immediately.
