District is mourning the death of its lead mechanic, and a prominent local resident
Right up until he died Sunday, Scott Doty did everythng from scratch. Or as one friend said, "he did it from the ground up," right out of the garages and soccer fields of Barnegat Township. Everything he did, school officials and friends say, was authentic, original and no-frills - the kind of stuff that was genuine, and never phony. He did everything for his hometown of Barnegat, like building his race car from scratch, painting it with the Bengal colors of orange and black and racing number "4" at the New Egypt Speedway. He never pretended to be anything more - or want anything bigger than that, friends say. That was how Doty was until he suffered what was apparently a fatal "heart issue" Saturday, friends say, while racing in New Egypt…

Law will protect accident victims' privacy rights, sponsors say
When Cathy Bates was fatally injured in an automobile accident in 2009, her family was devastated. But it's what happened after the head-on crash on Route 72 in Barnegat that spurred a bill which was signed into law this week by Gov. Chris Christie. Bates, a 40-year-old Manchester woman, was killed Oct. 23, 2009. At the accident scene, it was discovered that a volunteer first responder took photos of her which were posted on Facebook before her family members had even been notified of what had happened. "Instantly, it was on the Internet," said Diane Brown, Cathy Bates' sister. "It was hours before my mom even found out it was my sister." "You assume that someone's common sense and integrity would come into play," said Brown. "We thought…
