    Three residents of the West Lake adult community in Jackson fought against plans to build a large funeral home directly across the street from their neighborhood. The 19,000 square foot facility would include office space, a residence, and a catering hall. While the artist's rendering resembled an upscale home or clubhouse, the neighbors felt it was too close and would be depressing to have a funeral home so near their homes. In another story, scientists confirmed that a dangerous box jellyfish washed up on a northern Ocean County beach, which could pose a threat if they become more common in local waters.

    depressing
    proposal for
    funeral home
    SHANNON MULLEN @MULLENAPP
    JACKSON Of lifes two great certainties, taxes are
    far more likely to trigger a march on Town Hall.
    But, on rare occasions, death will draw a crowd, as it
    did this past week when residents of the West Lake
    adult community turned out in droves hoping to deepsix plans to build a funeral home directly across the
    street.
    This is not your garden variety parlor. The 19,000square-foot facility that the Oliverie Funeral Home intends to build on a six-acre site at Cooks Bridge Road
    and Manhattan Street includes office space, an upstairs
    residence and a catering hall where mourners could
    hold their repasts.
    In an eye-catching artists rendering, the facility resembles a rambling McMansion or a clubhouse at an upscale golf resort.
    Except that its not.
    Terri Barnaskas would be fine with either a McMansion or a golf course. But for her and many of her neighbors, the idea of a funeral complex so close to their
    homes was D.O.A.
    The site actually sits between two age-restricted
    adult communities West Lake and Winding Ways. Together they total almost 2,000 households.

    A box jellyfish on a northern Ocean County beach.

    Scientists: Nasty
    jellyfish washed
    up on Shore beach
    TODD B. BATES @TODDBBATESAPP

    Box jellyfish spark fear among swimmers and deliver nasty stings.
    Now Montclair State University scientists have confirmed that a dangerous box jellyfish washed up on the
    beach in Bay Head last fall.
    Im a bit surprised about this, said Jack Gaynor, an
    associate professor of biology at the Montclair-based
    university. This is kind of a nasty jelly and if this is in
    our area now, thats a problem.
    Stinging sea nettle jellyfish in the Barnegat Bay area
    wont put anyone in the hospital, but this is a much
    more serious jellyfish, this box jelly, Gaynor said. Im
    kind of hoping this will not be a recurrence in New JerSee JELLYFISH, Page 7A

    TO LEARN MORE

    James Perri has battled a rare form of


    brain cancer for two decades. Its so
    rare, there was minimal funding to
    research a cure.
    So he and his wife started a foundation.
    As an emergency room doctor,
    Perri figured on support from the
    medical community for Operation Oligo Cure, which
    has raised $738,000 for research and clinical trials in
    less than three years.
    He never anticipated the boost hes getting from
    another community: Manalapan High School alumni.
    His Class of 1990 is celebrating its 25th anniversary
    with a Reunion for a Cure at Lake Comos Bar
    Anticipation.
    Everybody was just moved by the story of a
    good guy from Manalapan, said Alison Finley, a
    classmate who is organizing the Aug. 8 event. They

    up together.
    Perris story is one of resilience on two levels: his
    personal toughness and the elasticity of those oldschool ties that still bind, even if theyre mothballed
    for a generation.
    The bonds dont break, Perri said. Its nice to
    see the human spirit in this.
