–Photo by Kimberly Bosco The buildings have been knocked down to make room for the new grocery store. By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – Lacey Township will be receiving a new discount grocery store, although no opening date has been announced just yet. The first in Ocean County, Lidl will be moving onto the property that once held A’s Home & Garden Center on Route 9. A’s
building was torn down recently to make way for Lidl. Although the project was approved by the township planning board, township officials noted that the progress of the construction will advance weather permitting. Lidl’s arrival in Lacey comes
on the heels of another new grocery store addition. The former Staples located in the Sunrise Plaza will soon become an Aldi grocery store. While this will be Ocean County’s first Lidl, the chain has locations in Monmouth County including Eatontown and Hazlet.
Andy Kim Focusing On Jobs, Constituents
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. (Andy Kim - See Page 4)

Public Comment On Oyster Creek Sale Extended
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – Those who wish to make their voices heard on the sale of Oyster Creek Generating Station may still do so. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently announced that the deadline has been extended to Jan. 9, 2019. Exelon Generation, owner of Oyster Creek, signed a purchase agreement with Holtec International, a Camden-based dry cask storage manufacturer, for the ownership of the plant back in July 2018. The purchase agreement also stipulates that Holtec International, upon approval of the sale, will take over the decommissioning process. According to the NRC, Holtec plans to speed up the decommissioning timeline significantly, approximating eight years until completion, as stated in previous reports. The NRC is currently reviewing the terms of the sale from Exelon to Holtec, but a decision has not yet been made. The time for public comment has been extended after various local and state organizations and environmental groups lobbied for further review of the sale. Jersey Shore Online reported in early November that the Clean Water Action campaign requested further review and more time for the decision to be made. Clean Water Action (Sale - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 reached out to Senator Cory Booker (DNJ) to help obtain an extension for public comment. CWA also appealed for a review of the proposed transfer of the license and multi-million dollar decommissioning fund by the state attorney general. Environmentalists such as the NJ Sierra Club echoed those sentiments, also requesting a public hearing of the NRC. Janet Tauro, NJ Clean Water Action Board Chair, stated “Anyone who has ever participated in an NRC proceeding knows its daunting complexity for the average citizen. The cards are generally stacked pro-industry, and against the public, and Senator Booker went to bat for us and we applaud him. “There are serious issues to explore, not the least of which is who has access to deadly nuclear material. That lifts this from a local to national security issue,” she said.
Andy Kim:
Continued From Page 1 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

A major concern with the sale to Holtec is the process that the company plans to use for decommissioning. According to CWA, Holtec aims to complete decommissioning in just eight years with “proto-prompt” technology that would transfer “highly radioactive spent fuel rods from an overhead cooling pool into on-site dry casks,” to be shipped cross-country to another Holtec storage facility. These organizations are calling Holtec’s plan a bit hasty, considering Exelon’s original 60-year decommissioning timeline laid out by the NRC. “A hasty, quick job isn’t going to benefit anybody,” said Tauro. “Obviously there’s a strong desire to get that waste out of Lacey Township, but let’s make sure they don’t blow us all up doing that.” The NRC is expected to make a decision by May 2019. Residents interested in providing public comment can visit nrc.gov for more information.
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 anyone until he’s sworn in on Jan. 3, but he’s in the process of lining up “strong staff that will be quick and responsive to the issues people care about.” The locations of his offices have not yet been chosen, but when they do, he said they will have an open door. 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).

A SENSE OF DETACHMENT
Noticing a few small, dark shapes that quickly pass through your field of vision is usually no cause for concern. However, experiencing a sudden increase in the number of these “floaters” may indicate the need to immediately schedule an appointment with the ophthalmologist. An influx of floaters may be indicative of a condition known as “posterior vitreous detachment” (PVD), which can lead to a potentially sightthreatening retinal problem. “Vitreous,” the gel-like substance that fills the eye, makes up 80 percent of the eye’s volume. If the tiny collagen fibers that secure the vitreous in place degrade and the vitreous contracts, it may tug on the retina in a manner that leads to retinal tears or detachment (with symptoms of flashing lights). As we get older, the vitreous in our eyes becomes more watery, less gel-like and isn’t able to keep its usual shape. Over 75 per cent of people over 65 develop PVD. It’s not a sign of disease or eye health problem and any symptoms usually get better with time. At our office you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

Elks Pack Bags For Homeless Veterans
–Photos courtesy Manahawkin Elks (Above) There were 21 packers, Manahawk in Elks Veteran Committee, Lodge members, and family of members. (Right) Contents of bags includes personal care items, hat, gloves, scarf, socks, towels. MANAHAWKIN – On Tuesday, December 18, the Manahawkin Elks Lodge #2340 held its annual Pack a Bag for a Homeless Veteran event. The project is funded through the ENF (Elks National Fund) Anniversary Grant and the Manahawkin Elks Charity Funds. Elk members also donated items and received reduced costs from local vendors. Monies were used to purchase backpacks, imprinted with the Manahawkin Elks logo, and personal care items, gloves, hats, scarfs, socks, towels. Twenty-eight Lodge, Veteran Committee, and family members managed the project by negotiating prices, ordering, shopping, and finally packing the care packages. The backpacks will be delivered by Veteran Committee members to VetGroup, Inc.,
Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau, and Vet Haven for confidential delivery to veterans in need of emergency or supportive services. Tracy Hook stopped by to update us on her son Dylan Thiel. Dylan was part of the Veteran’s Committee “Adopt a Recruit” program they ran a number of years ago. Dylan served in Afghanistan, is now a Warrant Officer and just completed all training to be a Black Hawk pilot. Tracy not only helped pack bags but she gave a talk about Dylan, where he started, what he’s gone through, and his latest accomplishments. Dylan received both a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart!

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.

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.

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.

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
specifically states that “the amount recovered in proceedings under this Michael J. Deem chapter shall be for the exclusive benefit of the persons entitled to take any intestate personal property of the decedent. . . ” Therefore, the first step is to determine the class of people entitled to take under the intestacy 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.

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.
