THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 2014 gm news.com S e n t i n e l North Brunswick • South Brunswick New intersection opens at Route 1 and Aaron Road By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer T he New Jersey Department of Trans­ portation (DOT) has fully opened the newly constructed intersection of Route 1 and Aaron Road. Motorists can now use the new reverse jughandle on Route 1 north. The developer of Main Street North Brunswick improved the intersection and is required to improve two others — at a total estimated cost of $10 million — as a condi­ tion of building the new transit village on Route 1. Michael Hritz, director of community de­ velopment for the township, said the design features new sections of roadway, traffic sig­ nals and multiple turning lanes to better fa­ cilitate local and cross-highway traffic. "We are particularly grateful to the Aaron Road and Hidden Lake-area resi­ dents who have patiently waited for the new jughandle to open. We understand they have been inconvenienced since the jughandle closure was extended beyond our original intention,” Hritz said. Commerce Boulevard and the intersec­ tion of Adams and Cozzens lanes, as well as a new bypass road, are in the final phases of construction and will open this summer. “It has always been a primary objective of STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER ERIC SUCAR Alisa Martinez, a patrol officer in Ocean Township, holds up a spray dispenser for Narcan, which police in central New jersey have begun the township to make sure that the flow of using to reverse drug overdoses. traffic, now anil in die future, will not be im­ peded by growth and development at the tran­ sit village site,” Mayor Francis "Mac” Womack said. “The improved intersection at Heroin crisis spurs antidote action Route 1 and Aaron Road is one of many im­ provements along the corridor that should ac­ By GREG KENNELTY mouth and Ocean counties as part of a state spiked from 53 in 2012 to 112 last year.

Gabby wrote that the only things left standing in front of the school building were the American flag and the school sign. “The flag was a symbol of hope and happiness at our school before it burnt down,” she wrote. “That is what the flag means to me. I hope the school will be rebuilt, and the flag will stay there forever.” As the contest winner. Gabby received a visit from a 75-foot-tall hot-air balloon on June 16.

On June 5, Ocean Township police offi­ cers Zachary Rhein find Kevin Redmond re­ sponded to a 911 call reporting that the 40-year-old woman was found unconscious and unresponsive in the basement of the home. The officers found her cold body lying face up. Her breathing was shallow and she was turning blue, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office. Information at the scene led the officers to believe that the woman was experiencing a heroin overdose. They sprayed two doses of Narcan into the woman’s nose, and she regained consciousness and was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Neptune. “On the second dose, the victim became conscious, but time is a huge factor.

The primary crease your home’s resale value. ished basement space in the same way. Mass., says this space can also be “perfect benefit is to the homeowner’s enjoyment versus resale value.” Indeed, the return on investment for a finished basement project can vary, depend­ ing on your market. According to Montalto, builders and remodeling contractors often Think Value with Fully Furnished Model charge as little as $35 per square foot to more than $60 per square foot for the work (equating to a project that can cost as little as SOMERSET Grand Opening $10,000 to one that can exceed $100,000). Yet appraisers often place less of a value on lower-level space — from $15 to $50 per square foot.
