Miller and Jennifer Peacock BERKELEY – It’s been more than six years since Superstorm Sandy blasted the Good Luck Point section of Bayville, destroying many of the homes in one of the lowest sections of the township. Most of the modest two- and three-bedroom
ranch homes, many of which had been in families for years, are gone now. They have been replaced by much larger homes with multiple stories in the section east of Bayview Avenue. But there are still a number of vacant lots in the area, which haven’t sold. Good Luck Point juts out into Barnegat
Bay and f requently floods during storms. And now the lots probably won’t be for sale. The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust has received nineteen voluntary requests from homeowners in the area who want to sell their properties to the trust, said Mark Villinger, the trust’s supervising planner.
The sale of the properties must be approved by the township and by the Ocean County Board of Freeholders, he said. “A lot of these owners are very happy to see some movement,” Vi l l i nge r t old T h e Berkeley Times. The cost of the Good (Space - See Page 4)

Miller TOMS RIVER – Marie T. Savignano has some thoughts for all of us who hope to live long lives. Her advice? Don’t abuse your body and eat healthy foods. It seems to have worked for the Spring Oak resident in Toms River. She recently turned 101. “I don’t make a pig out of myself, but I do like my ice cream,” she said with a smile. She has few medical problems, considering her age. She was diagnosed with macular degeneration twenty years ago and has some kidney disease. She can’t see out of her right eye at all. But that hasn’t kept her from one of her favorite pastimes. She loves to read, especially anything written by Danielle Steele. She even purchased a magnifying machine “as big as a T.V.” that allows her to read. “I paid enough for it,” she said. “But I can read with the machine.” She also makes sure she “walks a lot” every day. “I walk all around the building,” she said.
