By Bob Vosseller SHIP BOTTOM – Meeting new friends can come about in a variety of ways but one borough couple met some new friends in a unique way, by rescuing them from a burning boat. At around 6:25 p.m. on Aug. 10, Dawn Spellman-Anastasi and her f iancé Tom Bar ret t of Ship Bottom were cruising home in their boat, a 22-foot GradyWhite, having visited friends when they came across smoke near the coastline. “I saw a yellow flash of light,” Anastasi said. Barrett noticed smoke which he said quickly turned black. “I could smell fiberglass burning. We veered closer but at a safe distance.” “I thought the boat was going to blow up. The fire was spreading fast,” Anastasi said.

Oyster Creek’s Safety, Dismantling Questioned
By Bob Vosseller LACEY – The decommissioning of the Oyster Creek Generating Station dominated the last of three town hall meetings that Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) held this summer. Kim’s last meeting was held on Aug. 29 at the Lacey Middle School. Around 150 people, the majority of which were Lacey residents, came to the school’s gymnasium to hear details of the nuclear power plant’s decommissioning status. Attendees expressed concerns about the plant’s decommissioning process noting safety, cost, and public involvement. Oyster Creek was the oldest operating nuclear power plant in the country when it closed in September 2018. Holtec International, based in Camden, purchased the facility earlier this year from Exelon Generation of Chicago. Holtec will decommission the 50-year-old facility that will profit off the reactor’s nearly $1 billion decommissioning trust fund, which is money set aside for dismantling the reactor.

Popular Sub Shop Hits The Road
By Kimberly Bosco BA R N EGAT – A local business is leaving its longtime home, trading four walls for four wheels. The popular sandwich shop Sub Busters has recently transformed its business into a food truck called Just Keep Eatin’.
|
After 21 years of business, Sub Busters announced on August 22 that they were beginning a new adventure. “After 14 years at this location, we have decided not to renew our lease and are closing our doors. Thank you to everyone who has
supported us throughout the years,” read a notice from the sandwich shop. The shop spent 14 years at its location in the Barnegat Acme plaza (formerly Genaurdi’s). Prior to this, they had set up shop in the old Cumberland Farms
plaza f rom 1998 to 2005. But the owner and staff were quick to add, “This is not the last you’ll see of us!” Sub Busters owner Jan Wicks undertook the unique task of transforming a basic yellow (Road - See Page 5)
Removing Radioactive Material Originally, Exelon had planned to dismantle the plant over a 60-year period, a process that would have allowed some of the facility’s radioactivity to degrade to safer levels. Holtec’s proposal seeks to complete the decommissioning within a decade. That was a sticking point expressed by several attendees who questioned Holtec’s ability to accomplish this in a shorter time span. Marianne Clemente, Barnegat, asked “how did it get from 60 years to six years? What miracle technology was developed?” Other residents voiced concern about how casks of radioactive material would be safely transported off the premises. Jeffrey Dostal, former plant manager of Oyster Creek, said he is overseeing the plant’s dismantling as an employee of Holtec and that he would be working with other former Exelon employees of Oyster Creek. “My family and I live in this area. I would not put them in harm’s way.” He pledged state of the art technology and (Oyster Creek - See Page 4)

materials would be used during the process. Dostal added that no demolition of buildings at the plant would occur until after radioactive material was put into storage. The timetable for that is November 2021. Representatives from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission were also in attendance at the meeting to answer questions and address points from a letter that Kim sent to NRC Chairwoman Kristine L. Svinicki on July 11. That letter included eight questions focusing on concerns by residents who felt the NRC had not responded to their questions about decommissioning the plant. Kim requested a written response from the NRC by Aug. 9. His office received a response by Svinicki dated Aug. 16 addressing each question. When asked whether he was satisfied with the response to his letter, Kim said, “No, there is more here that needs to learned which is why the NRC came out today to hear the tone of the public’s concern.” He added that “this meeting is just the beginning of a process of informing the public of what is being planned.” A meeting to include Holtec representatives will be held on Sept. 23 at the same location to delve further into the process. Decommissioning Costs Kim asked in his letter that in the event that the cost of the plant’s decommissioning was less than the amount currently sitting in the decommissioning trust fund, would those leftover funds be returned to the taxpayer or would they be left with Holtec International? Svinicki wrote “once a licensee has completed radiological decommissioning and the NRC has terminated the operating license, the agency no longer has jurisdiction over the decommissioning trust fund. At that time, the disposition of any remaining trust funds would be the responsibility of the former licensee, subject to any other financial obligations it may have.” The congressman had also asked that in the event that the cost of the Oyster Creek decommissioning runs over the amount in the decommissioning trust fund, would taxpayers be liable for any additional costs stemming from this process? Svinicki’s response was that “at all times the licensee has full responsibility to provide adequate funding for all NRC-required decommissioning activities.” She added that during the decommissioning process her agency would oversee Holtec’s decommissioning including its funding. “NRC regulations require a licensee to submit a site-specific decommissioning cost estimate that encompasses all costs required to decommission the plant.” Lacey Councilman Peter Curatolo said after the meeting that he was confident that Lacey residents would not be “left holding the bag.” He said he had verified with Dostal that “in the remote event that the decommissioning fund is depleted, Holtec is the responsible party until such time the decommissioning is completed to NRC standards. I want Lacey residents assured that these safety measures and regulations are in place to protect their physical and
financial well-being.” Svinicki wrote to Kim that “NRC regulations require a licensee to submit a site-specific decommissioning cost estimate that encompasses all costs for completing radiological decommissioning.” She added that after a plant permanently closes and until radiological decommissioning is completed, “a licensee is required to submit decommissioning funding status reports each year and certify that sufficient financial assurance for decommissioning has been provided.” Safety Concerns Regarding the congressman’s question of whether there was any environmental impact study done at Oyster Creek prior to the license transfer and if the NRC or Holtec planned to conduct one, Svinicki wrote that the “last environmental impact statement (EIS) prepared for Oyster Creek was the Supplemental EIS issued as part of the NRC’s license renewal review in 2009.” She added that per NRC regulations, a licensee must submit a post shutdown decommissioning activities report (PSDAR) and that no environmental review was performed as part of the license transfer.” Brick resident Janet Tauro, the Board Chair for Clean Water Action questioned the stability of the casks that contain radioactive material. This was also one of Kim’s questions which Svinicki responded to saying NRC staff “performs inspections at the cask fabricators’ facilities to ensure that regulatory requirements are met during the design and production phases.” She added that routine safety inspections are performed every two years. Kim included in his letter that “over the course of the life of the Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) at Oyster Creek, will Holtec be responsible for the long-term safety and repair of casks and what are the best practices that will define Holtec’s responsibilities?” Svinicki responded, “yes, Holtec is responsible for the safety of the casks and any necessary repairs for as long as it is the license holder.” Forming A Community Advisory Group The subject of establishing a citizens advisory group was another hot button issue discussed at the meeting. Kim had asked about this in his letter. Svinicki responded saying, that to date, the NRC had not been informed of any plans to form such an entity. “The NRC encourages licensees to sponsor community advisory boards for decommissioning.” Lacey Mayor Timothy McDonald said during the meeting that “we had a good relationship with Exelon and we want to see the concerns of Lacey are heard. We want to see the process put together for this very carefully.” “The process of how this plant is decommissioned must be transparent. These are big complicated issues and you are right to be concerned,” Kim said. Members of the group Concerned Citizens of Lacey spoke up saying they would like to see a citizen’s advisory group formed immediately. (Oyster Creek - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 The couple observed the boat’s crew, a three-member Stafford family which included John and Kim Gaskill and their 12-year-old daughter Finley. The family quickly jumped off the boat, their 19-foot model Chaparral, and swam for their lives as it became engulfed by flames. Anastasi said that she learned the family had just left the Boatyard restaurant in Stafford Township before returning to their vessel and to their home in the Beach Haven West section of Stafford Township. John Gaskill said “at fi rst it looked like a small gas leak and I got it to stop.” A boat pump ignited shortly afterward. “My wife and daughter were sitting at the bow

Oyster Creek however was not the only topic some attendees wanted discussed. A few area residents sat in the audience holding signs calling for Medicare for all. Thomas Cannavo, Beachwood, is a member of the New Jersey Universal Health Care Coalition. “I would like to see Congressman
The Southern Ocean Times, September 7, 2019, Page 5 of the boat and we saw their (Anastasi/ Barrett) boat pass by.” Realizing the flames were overcoming his boat, “I said we better get out of here so we evacuated.” “They swam to us and we picked them up. Their daughter was very scared. They were all shaken actually. Who wouldn’t be? I was trying to comfort the little girl,” Anastasi added. “The New Jersey State Police Marine Division were terrific. They came with three men in two boats and then the Coast Guard came and started spraying down the boat and had it 99% out,” John Gaskill said. US Boat Tow arrived early on at the scene and the boat’s captain turned out to be an old friend of John Gaskill. “They also did
me a solid and were great,” Gaskill said. “It all worked out and thankfully no one was hurt,” Barrett added. “Anyone would have done the same. Who wouldn’t help a family in that kind of situation?” Anastasi said. As for the family’s boat, it was unsalvageable. Barrett said, “he didn’t have any insurance on it as he didn’t pay that much for it.” However, Gaskill said he was able to salvage certain items from the burnt boat that he will use for his 22-foot cuddy fishing boat. “I saved the anchor and the trim cylinders. The old boat is on a trailer in my front yard waiting to be taken to the dump.” “We’ve gotten to know them now,” Anastasi said.
Ironically, while the two couples did not know each other before the fi re, Anastasi’s son works with Gaskill’s older daughter at the Sandbox Café on the island. “We had never met but our kids had,” Gaskill said. Barrett said, “we will be getting together with them soon. They are taking us out for dinner as a thank you. We really didn’t do anything all that heroic; we were just at the right place at the right time.” Gaskill said that he and his family were grateful to Anastasi and Barrett and noted that things could have gone much worse. “Originally, we were thinking of bringing our dogs along and our other kids. Things could have been much worse had we not decided to pair it down to just the three of us,” Gaskill said.
Kim co-sponsor HR 1384, the Medicare for All Act of 2019. The majority of Democrats in the House have signed on, 118. We need a single payer system which covers everyone from cradle to grave.” This meeting marked Kim’s eleventh Town Hall during the 116th Congress, and part of a monthly series to allow him to hear directly from constituents throughout New Jersey’s Third District.

The new website can be found at OCPONJ. gov. “Our new website has been created with the user’s experience in mind and is easy to navigate on mobile devices, desktops, laptops, and tablets,” Prosecutor Billhimer stated. “After many starts and stops, we were finally able to finish this project uti-
lizing the expertise of an outside vendor.” Prosecutor Billhimer noted that the OCPO has been utilizing to social media to disperse information to the public, which it will continue to do with the help of the new site. “It is unfortunate that the important work of this office has not had a presence on the internet. Our lack of a website since the beginning of my administration has lead us to utilize social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. We will continue to maintain our presence on those social media platforms, but the information will now be pushed out from our website,” Prosecutor Billhimer added.

Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen’s Museum Receives Grant For Floating Classroom
TUCKERTON – Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen’s Museum has been awarded a three year grant totaling $150,000 for the OceanFirst Floating Classroom. Tuckerton Seaport’s goal for 2019 is to offer on-water experiences for more than 5,000 guests and students. Schools plan their calendars and budgets years in advance making it necessary to guarantee the longevity of the Floating Classroom over the next 3 years and beyond. The three-year OceanFirst grant will allow the Seaport to apply for the Federal Transit Administration Passenger Ferry Grant for funds to acquire a second pontoon boat for Floating Classroom and Water Ferry services making the services provided by the pontoon boats an essential component and reliable staple in the community. Engaging in proper maintenance, the newly constructed pontoon boat is expected to be operational for 10-20 years on the water. Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen’s Museum is located at the center of the Jersey Shore
directly on the Tuckerton Creek, and has been delivering high-impact, educational opportunities to Monmouth and Ocean County residents and students for twenty years. The seaport has developed from a grass-roots organization into a nationally recognized, award-winning destination museum and acts as a national model for similar organizations. “Thanks to the generous support of the OceanFirst Foundation, the Seaport will be able to offer fifty schools on water experiences as part of their visit to Tuckerton Seaport for each of the next three years. This opportunity will allow more than 5,000 students to get out on the water and experience the art, history, and environment that define our coastal culture. Despite living in Ocean and Monmouth counties, the overwhelming majority of students (94%) who visit on the class trip have never actually been out on the water,” said Brooke Salvanto, executive director of the Tuckerton Seaport.

County Officials Looking To Expand Open Space Fund
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – In the last 20 years, the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund has successfully preserved close to 30,000 acres of open space. In an effort to continue this progress, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders will ask voters to amend the program in order to expand its purpose allowing the trust fund to be used for costs of acquisition, development and maintenance for recreational and historic preservation purposes. Residents will be asked to vote for this question on the ballot in November. “This proposal will not increase the open space tax that is currently in place,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to the county’s Natural Lands program. “But what it does provide is more flexibility within the program…It would assist in our efforts to develop further some of our parks like the Barnegat Branch Trail, for example,” she said. “Also it would help in our efforts of historic preservation for such important buildings like the Cox House in Barnegat Township.” According to Haines, the program’s first priority will always be acquisition of open space in Ocean County. At the August 7 meeting, the Board of Chosen Freeholders approved placing the question on the ballot. The ballot question will read: “Shall the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust, which was approved and established by referendum in 1997, be expanded to permit use of the Trust Fund not only for open space preservation purposes and farmland preservation purposes, but also allow for the acquisition, development and maintenance for recreational and historic preservation purposes?” According to Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Kelly, the Natural Lands Trust currently only allows for Trust Fund money to be used to acquire and maintain land
for the purpose of open space preservation or for the preservation of farmland. “This is a very successful program,” Kelly said. “This proposed change builds on its success by allowing additional uses for the money specifically for recreational and historic preservation.” In the past, the program has been useful in saving environmentally sensitive areas, in providing buffers for Joint Base McGuire, Dix Lakehurst and for curbing some development. Anthony Agliata, Ocean County Planning Director, noted that many counties and municipalities that have open space programs allow for the funds to be used for recreational and historic preservation purposes including almost all 15 municipalities in Ocean County that have an open space program. “The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund currently allocates 1.2 cents per $100 of assessed land for the open space tax,” Agliata said. “There will be no increase to taxpayers. The question only expands the use of the existing Trust Fund.” The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee was formally established in 1998 at which time general guidelines were developed for considering properties to be preserved. In order to be considered, a property must be formally nominated, purchased only from willing sellers, and the sale must have the approval of the local governing body. In this way, the program was able to preserve the Forked River Mountains in Lacey Township, allowing it to remain in the public domain and as open space into perpetuity. “This property totaling almost 8,000 acres is surrounded by thousands of acres of preserved land and was the largest property in single private ownership left in the county,” Haines said. “By expanding the scope of the open space program we can use some of the money to better maintain these properties and provide additional recreational opportunities to our citizens and visitors.”

Southern Ocean Chamber Association Summer Donation To Parker’s Army
LONG BEACH ISLAND – The Southern Ocean Chamber Association, a NJ 501c3 Non Profit; (SOCA) was established to provide resources to advance small business and nonprofit entities throughout the Long Beach Island region. The organization presented Parker’s Army with a donation for $1,000 to further advance their mission. Parker’s Army is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in the memory of Parker Nork, an avid athlete, who passed away after a short battle with ALL leukemia at the young age of nine. To memorialize his beautiful life, the organization seeks to raise funds through various community events to provide scholarships to high school student athletes, to help fund area youth recreational programs and hockey programs and to donate to help in the fight to cure childhood cancer. The gift was designated to the organization from the Van Dyk Group, through SOCA’s community chest giving program. The donation check was presented at the Southern Ocean Chamber office from SOCA Board Members Jerry Thompson and Lori Pepenella. Representatives from Parker’s Army were Kim Nork President, Sean Griffin Vice President
and Patricia Pollard Secretary; in addition to Parker’s Army providing funding to recreational youth sports by way of scholarships, equipment, uniforms, sponsorships and registration fees. The organization hosts fundraisers and events throughout the year. They have also introduced the Parker’s Army Sportsmanship Award to recognize youth athletes that display extraordinary attitudes and ethics both on and off the field. Nominations can be submitted through their website parkersarmy.com. The Southern Ocean Chamber Association (SOCA) was founded to support the growing business programs that have been created to stimulate economic development through the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce as well as furthering its Thrive in 105 mission for nonprofit support. The organization utilizes the dynamic business network within Southern Ocean County to secure donations that can be directed towards nonprofit organizations whose missions serve the causes of Youth, Culture, Community, Wellness and First Responders of the region. It was awarded 501c3 status from the IRS March 2019. For more information about SOCA go to visitlbiregion.com/thrive-in-105/.

Come On In And Bring A Friend Or Loved One!
In a study commissioned by the National Council on Aging, not only did adults treated for hearing loss report significant improvements in relationships, mental health, and other important areas of life, but their families reported improvements, too! Hearing loss can take a toll on the person experiencing it and on those closest to them, making it more challenging to fully experience life together, so it’s no wonder that starting the journey to better hearing is even easier with a companion along to help. EMOTIONAL SUPPORT It’s not always easy to acknowledge hearing difficulties or get help. Nearly all hearing loss can be effectively managed, but only a fraction of those who could benefit from hearing aids use them. A companion can offer emotional support, reminding you that you deserve better hearing and a better quality of life. BALANCED PERSPECTIVE Others perceive you differently than you perceive yourself, which can be valuable when describing your listening needs and challenges. For example, your companion can help you give a more complete picture of potential Sound Voids, those gaps experienced in everyday life because of reduced sound clarity. ENHANCED UNDERSTANDING The
better-hearing journey involves a lot of new information and exciting technology. During an appointment, your companion can ask questions you might not have considered, help with note-taking, and later remind you about relevant follow-up activities. DEEPER AWARENESS Just as you may not realize how much your potential hearing loss affects your loved ones, they may not fully realize its impact on you. Your companion’s presence can help their awareness and ability to be your best advocate as you make important hearing care decisions. TECHNOLOGYTESTING When exploring new hearing technology, it helps to have a familiar voice in the room with you. Listening to your companion’s voice while trying out selected hearing aids helps you provide helpful feedback to the hearing care specialist who’s adjusting the devices. COME ON IN & Bring a SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU If you’re having difficulty hearing or haven’t had your hearing checked in a while. Call us for an appointment today at 732818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin). We’re here to continue to educate you and your family about important hearing care concerns. Please visit us at gardenstate hearing.com.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting (expanded hours!), and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
7 Natural Remedies To Treat Psoriasis By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Many people take “biologic” drugs that have anti-inflammatory actions on the body and reduce the symptoms of auto-immune conditions like ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn’s disease, psoriasis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. A few names of these biologic drugs include Remicade, Humira or Enbrel. These work well for those people who have an over-active immune system. If I could think of one negative, it would be that they don’t cure or eliminate the root cause of the self-attack. Just three weeks ago, a study published in JAMA Cardiology found that using some of these medications could have a beneficial impact on the cardiovascular system. This makes sense to me because after all, the drugs are reducing inflammation chemicals in the body, including those that would hurt the heart. But due to side effects of biologic drugs, not everyone can take them. Some people cannot afford them. While my suggestions below are not nearly as strong as biologic medications, they might prove to be useful as adjunctive therapy. These remedies also do not suppress immunity. While these are certainly good ideas, I want you to ask your doctor if these are right for you before self-treating: Fish Oil. Fish oils has consistently been shown to support skin health. Studies have shown that taking fish oil seems to help with itching, redness, and the size of the skin lesions. The reason this supplement may work for some people is because there might be
a glitch in your fatty acid metabolism. Omega-3 supplements improve redness, thickness, and scaling. GLA. If your body is deficient in an enzyme that converts dietary fats into compounds that are required for healthy skin, then GLA could help. If you have more Cis-Linoleic Acid and less of the desired Gamma Linoleic Acid or GLA, you could have more flare ups. Sulfur or Kampuku. Sulfur can be purchased as a soap, and it’s drying. It will ’pull’ dirt from skin cells, and unclog the pores so it’s fabulous for acne. Sulfur is not sulfa. My next best secret is the Kampuku Beauty Bar by Dr. Ohhira brand. It contains a blend of skin-loving probiotics to help restore healthy microflora to your skin cells. This is instantly soothing and will strengthen your skin’s natural barrier. Apple Cider Vinegar or Tea Tree Oil. A fungi called Malassezia may be involved in seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema and it’s hard to destroy this invader. You could try a diluted application of tea tree essential oil. You could also do a 50/50 mix of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) with water. Both of these have some evidence behind them. Boswellia. This herb is a strong anti-inflammatory and sometimes taken internally for rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and osteoarthritis. It is available in topical form and studies prove it can help reduce itching, redness and scaling. For more information on topical boswellia, write me at scriptessentials@gmail.com.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital Of Toms River Approaching Refresh Completion TOMS RIVER – On Jan. 1, 2019, HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Toms River officially rebranded itself as Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Toms River. But taking on the Encompass Health name was only the first step in the hospital’s mission to better serve the needs of its community. To support that mission, the hospital is rebuilding and upgrading its existing facilities, and adding additional wings. Encompass Health Toms River is in the final stages of a four-phase process, which began in 2016, to update its hospital. The hospital has been actively refreshing each of its wings, with intentions of improving the experience and outcomes of the hospital’s patients. The hospital is on track to complete the refresh in March 2020. “Our purpose is to serve our community. We know we have the best team of experts and the best rehabilitation programs, but we wanted to give our patients access to the most beneficial environment for their rehabilitation as well,”

Inside The Law New Jersey’s Wrongful Death Law
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Little Egg Harbor Location
NOW OPEN!
By: Michael J, Deem, Esq. 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 Michael J. Deem “the amount recovered in proceedings under this chapter shall be for the exclusive benefit of the persons entitled to take any intestate personal property of the decedent...” Therefore, the first step is to determine the class of people entitled to take under the intestacy 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.

Officials: Keep An Eye On Your Child’s Vision Health

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – New school year, new backpack, new clothes…new glasses? Ocean County Health Department officials are reminding parents to keep an eye on their children’s eye heath as we begin another school year. According to the Ocean County Health Department, over one in four students in the US suffer from undiagnosed vision problems. Vison problems in schools can affect academic performance when a child can’t properly see the blackboard, computer screen or book they’re reading. Studies show that approximately 80 percent of what a child learns in school is information through visual presentation, so healthy vision is imperative when it comes to concentration and engaging in lessons. “The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) wants to remind parents about the importance of children’s eye health as we start to gear up for another school year,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Early detection of vision problems can make all the difference for a child in the classroom.” Good news is that it is now state law mandates young students 6 and under, entering public schools or Head Start Programs, must receive
a comprehensive eye exam. A comprehensive exam can provide a more definitive assessment and appropriate treatment so children can start their learning journey with adequate vision skills. According to the American Optometric Association, a child’s vision can change frequently during the course of the school year. Parents should keep an eye out for the following symptoms: • Headaches from eye strain • Short attention span • Excessive blinking or eye rubbing • Poor hand-eye coordination • Difficulty remembering what was read • Covering one eye • Holding materials close to the face. “The goal is to educate parents about the critical relationship between vision and learning,” said Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “Students should not have to struggle getting through their studies due to a lack of undetected vision issues. As parents we look for so many health concerns but we can’t forget how important eye sight is to their academic success.” For more information or questions, visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 7 - sept 13 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fuel up so that you can get a great deal of work accomplished today. There are numerous tasks on your to-do list, but don’t worry: There should be some spare time to complete them as the week unfolds. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put on your party hat and sunglasses. It won’t take much effort to have a great time in social settings or to tantalize a romantic partner. Your week ahead may be filled with entertaining moments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Write your own narrative. In the upcoming week, take charge of conversations and funnel them into more appropriate channels. Share ideas and strike a chord with like-minded companions. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may receive the go-ahead to pursue your most important goals in the week ahead. An unexpected phone call might bring you a crucial piece of information that will save you time or trouble. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If there is a holiday or an extra day off in the week ahead, make the most of it. Attend a sporting event or participate in one. Collaborating with others could put extra dollars in your piggy bank. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Now is the time to be confident and assertive. You could start the week filled with immense drive and initiative that could help you overcome an inclination to be bashful about asking for what you need or want.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Fill the glasses to the brim and fire up the barbecue. Enjoy your day with family and friends, but be ready for a few extra people. An organized approach makes things run smoothly. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Just be your best self. You don’t need to try to be someone you are not to make a great impression on new acquaintances this week or to mesmerize a special romantic partner. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your heart is in the right place, but enthusiasm for social activities at any cost could cause you to go overboard in the early part of the week. Count every dollar before you spend it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): While attending to immediate needs, some basic housework and minor repairs may have gone unattended. If you have an extra day off this week, spend some time cleaning and beautifying your space while you can to create a little more Zen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you have it, flaunt it. You may have a sudden desire to share the best of everything and show off your comfortable surroundings. Embrace opportunities to entertain guests in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avoid confrontations, particularly when it comes to headline news. A cool head, calm demeanor and your ability to read the situation and go with the flow will serve you well. Pay attention to how others in the room interact.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Japan Meets Italy: Asian-Fusion Pasta Dish Perfect For Casual Summer Entertaining By Wolfgang Puck
Is there really any other style of entertaining than casual during the summer months? Even for the most formal occasions my team and I focus on a warm, relaxed feeling this time of year. Same goes for at-home cooks. And that doesn’t just apply to meals that you cook outside on the grill. Indoors, too, casual style food is the right way to go in August. As a matter of fact, one of the most appealing main dishes I’ve come across recently captures the relaxed pleasures of summer in a unique new way. It’s a recipe from Dylan Hallas, chef de cuisine at Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill in the MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas. The following dish perfectly combines the home-style pleasures of a classic Italian pasta dish with the kind of sitback-and-enjoy-yourself fare served in izakayas, the popular Japanese pubs that specialize in foods meant to be eaten with lots of beer, the rice wine known as sake or the potent distilled beverage called shochu. Hallas’ inspiration for the dish was linguine with clams. It’s something you’ll see many people enjoying in Italian trattorias: Fresh clams in the shell, quickly steamed with olive oil or butter, lots of garlic and white wine, and then tossed with linguine. Instead of the usual garlic, however, Hallas’ recipe substitutes leeks, scallions and shishito peppers, the long, dark-green, mildly spicy Japanese chilies, now widely available in wellstocked markets, that have recently become the rage when seared as an appetizer. Adding more flavor and rich body to the sauce: a generous splash of sake and a couple of teaspoons of white miso paste, which you’ll find in the refrigerated section of many markets. All those ingredients join together to capture a savory, undeniably appealing quality the Japanese define with the word: umami. Or, as Hallas puts it, “they give this typically Italian dish a very distinct Japanese flavor profile.” I’m very proud that such a simple, yet creative recipe developed within one of my restaurants. It reflects a spirit of openness to new flavors and culinary experimentation that harks back to the early days of my Chinois on Main restaurant in Santa Monica, where in 1983 my chefs and I began combining Chinese traditions, contemporary French cooking techniques and fresh California ingredients to create a cuisine that came to be known as Asian-fusion. I hope this recipe will inspire you, too, as you entertain casually, not just right now but throughout the year.
J A PA N E S E - S T Y L E L I N G U I N E WITH CLAMS Serves 4 3 pounds (1.5 kg) fresh Manila or littleneck clams Kosher salt 8 fresh shishito peppers 2 green onions, trimmed 3/4 pound (375 g) dried linguine 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/3 cup sake 2 teaspoons white miso paste Rinse the clams thoroughly under cold running water to remove any sand or dirt from the outside of their shells. Then put them in a large basin of cold salted water, and leave them to soak for about 15 minutes, agitating them occasionally, rubbing them together and changing the water several times to eliminate any dirt of sand they might expel. Drain well. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to cut the shishito peppers crosswise into slices about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick, leaving the seeds in the slices for a little heat. Set aside in a bowl. Separate the white and green parts of the green onions. Cut them crosswise into slices about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, setting the white and green pieces aside in separate bowls. When the water is boiling, add some salt and cook the linguine until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the suggested cooking time on the package, usually 9 to 11 minutes. As soon as the pasta starts cooking, heat a large saute pan, with a lid, or a pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and, as soon as it has melted, add the sliced shishitos and the sliced white scallion pieces; saute, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Raise the heat to high, and add the sake, miso and clams. Stir well to dissolve the miso. Cover and cook until the clams have opened, shaking the pan occasionally to promote even cooking, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to divide the clams among four warmed shallow pasta serving bowls, discarding any unopened clams and leaving the clam broth and vegetables in the pan. Return the pan to the heat, and add the sliced green onion and remaining butter. Immediately drain the pasta, and add it to the pan, tossing it with tongs to coat it thoroughly with the sauce. Season to taste with more salt. With tongs, divide the pasta evenly among the plates of clams. Spoon the remaining juices and vegetables from the pot over each serving. Serve immediately.
