Seaside Heights Settles Suit Over Swinging Boardwalk Lights

Seaside Heights has settled a lawsuit over swinging boardwalk light fixtures, bringing a legal dispute involving the borough's boardwalk lighting to a close. The project traces back to a contract the borough awarded to replace its boardwalk lights, a job that officials said was fully covered by a $4,795,362 state boardwalk preservation grant, according to earlier reporting from Shorebeat. The planned work called for replacing the existing lights with stainless-steel fixtures and LEDs. The old-style lighting required more frequent bulb changes and drew more energy, the outlet had reported.

Every vote counts: South Toms River mayor’s race decided by 1 vote

SOUTH TOMS RIVER — After all the ballots were counted, it came down to one vote. Incumbent Republican Mayor Oscar Cradle holds a razor-thin, one-vote lead over Democratic challenger Gigi Esparza in the borough mayoral race following the tally of provisional ballots, according to Ocean County election officials and party leaders. With all ballots now counted in the borough of roughly 3,900 residents, Cradle leads Esparza 441 to 440, pending official certification. According to Ocean County Republican Chairman George R. Gilmore — who also chairs the bipartisan Ocean County Board of Elections — Esparza had held a one-vote advantage after mail-in ballots were tallied. The race flipped in Cradle’s favor after 10 provisional ballots were counted, with Cradle receiving six and Esparza receiving four. Gilmore attributed Cradle’s narrow edge to his record in office, praising his commitment to local taxpayers. “I think Oscar’s reelection as mayor is attributed to the service he has provided to the residents of South Toms River,” Gilmore said. “He’s not only a good person, he truly cares about the residents of South Toms River and tries hard to provide them with the best services possible at the lowest cost possible.” In a statement posted to

Northern Highlands football finally breaks through, wins sectional

ALLENDALE — Northern Highlands' senior class now knows the joy of reaching a sectional final and finally winning it. The Highlanders captured the North 1, Group 4 title with a commanding 31-7 victory Nov. 13 over Middletown South, after losing down-to-the-wire, heartbreakers in the final the last three years. "It was huge that we could finally push over the hump and get this win," Northern Highlands senior Joss Granas said. Granas delivered the most dramatic play of the night, returning an interception 84 yards for a touchdown to provide a 28-0 lead midway through the third quarter. Northern Highlands (8-3) had possession just three times in the first half and turned each into a time-consuming drive and TD and 21-0 halftime lead. Junior running back Michael Strandes caught a 2-yard score from sophomore quarterback Jack Branagh for the 7-0 lead. Branagh scored on a 12-yard run late in the first quarter, and Strandes scored on a 1-yard run in the final minute of the first half. Middletown South (7-4) scored its TD in the third on a 2-yard run by senior running back Justin Rosato to cut the deficit to 28-7. Players of the game Joss Granas, Northern Highlands: On
