Lakehurst Celebrates “Souper” Bowl By Jennifer Peacock LA K EH U RST – O ne of the perks of being mayor is getting free antacid. Not to tend to a stomach upset from politics, but from serving as a judge of spicy chili. La kehu r st mayor Ha r r y Robbins was judging the 8th annual Soup-R-Bowl of Chili Challenge, held at the Community Center January 30. He, along with Councilman James Davis and resident Andrew Hodges, sampled dozens of vegetarian and meat-filled chilies and soups to name the best of the best. Their tastes varied from the populist opinion. While the judges crowned Lakehurst Volunteer Fire Company’s chili best, the People’s Choice Chili went to Fleet Reserve. The People’s Choice Soup Trophy was awarded to AristaCare Cooking Club, which also won last year. The Lakehurst Elementary School P TA ha d a st rong showing but didn’t win this year’s People’s Choice. The money raised will benefit the Lakehurst Borough Historical Society Museum.

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Weeks have passed since both parties have sat at the table, but negotiations between the Manchester Board of Education and teachers association will resume February 11. “We looking forward to meeting with the Board and the Mediator,” Manchester Township Education Association (MTEA) president Dan Staples told The Manchester Times. “The parties have not met since December 2. The MTEA will continue to bargain in good faith towards a fair settlement.” Educators have been working under an expired contract for months; direct negotiations between the parties broke down months ago and the State was called in to mediate. However, the first mediator, due to “personal reasons,” had to back out. A new mediator was assigned to the negotiations and, after a cancelled end-of-year meeting,

By Daniel Nee OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County residents will foot a $465,000 bill for the snow removal operation during the January 23 winter storm, officials have calculated. Clearing snow from Ocean County’s road network – the largest of any in New Jersey – was responsible for the bulk of the bill, to the tune of $425,000 for labor, overtime pay, fuel, salt and calcium chloride pre-treatment of roadways. Over 200 employees participated in the cleanup effort, using 12,340 gallons of diesel fuel to plow snow off the road network, said Freeholder Joseph Vicari.

It took several days for the county to clear all lanes of its roads, with Tom Curcio, the county Road Supervisor, saying crews first opened up all of the roadways, then returned to clear addition snow from shoulders and intersections where lanes were temporarily blocked. “We bought 15 new dump trucks in 2014 and it made a difference,” said Curcio, explaining that in years past, the county’s snow plowing operations were sometimes bogged down by vehicle malfunctions. “We got rid of the older ones, and it made a big difference in (Taxpayers - See Page 4)

could not meet again until February. The Manchester Times reached out to Board secretary and district Business Administrator Craig Lorentzen, who said he had no new information to offer. “As far as where things stand, the Board is optimistic that we will continue to make progress toward a new contract at the meeting,” Lorentzen said. “We are at the point where we now need to discuss

and finalize the key issues of the contract. The negotiations process is a give and take. Hopefully, the two sides will be able to work out fair and equitable agreement very soon.” Educators, both current and retired, and their supporters have marched outside Board meetings and at times filled Ridgeway Elementary School’s media room to overcapacity, standing room only, wearing red shirts in solidarity. Red, white and blue signs declaring “no contract, still working, always caring”
were marched around and hung on media room’s walls. Parties are under strict regulations to keep private negotiations, but Lorentzen said back in September that disagreements arise over salary and benefits. According to the New Jersey Education Association, Manchester Township is among 363 school districts in the state with a first-year teacher starting salary of $50,000 or more. Of those 15 districts in Ocean County that pay more than $50,000, Manchester is the bottom rung;
the remaining 14 county districts start teachers at less than that. Only three districts in the state—Freehold Regional, Union and Westfield—start teachers at $60,000 or more. Budget information provided by Manchester shows the district spends an average of $15,095 per student, with 59 percent of that cost goes toward “classroom salaries and benefits.” Neither Lorentzen nor Staples would say if they believe a contract would settled at the February 11 meeting.
“It’s a team effort, as it always is in Ocean County,” said Vicari. Jackson, Brick and Plumsted townships all received the highest snow totals, well over 20 inches and close to 30 inches in some areas, officials said. A testament to the power of the storm near the immediate shore, a lightning arrester and 100 foot-high f lag pole on
the Mantoloking Bridge, which connects Brick Township and Mantoloking, broke off its base during the storm due to high winds. “Those survived Sandy, and they both blew over in this storm,” said Freeholder Gerry Little. The felled apparatus led to a short closure of the bridge during the storm.
“They were fishing it out of the bay today,” Curcio said at the January 27 meeting of the freeholder board, with the expectation that the equipment might be able to be salvaged. “We’re a coastal county, we’re used to it, and we’re prepared to deal with what comes our way,” said Freeholder John C. Bartlett. “It was a heavy snow to move.”
John C. Bartlett Jr., holding the Bible, Ocean County Counsel John C. Sahradnik Jr. administered the oath of office. Haines was appointed to a seat on the Freeholder Board by the Ocean County Republican Committee on January 26. She succeeds Freeholder James F. Lacey
who retired from the Freeholder Board on December 31. Haines, a Toms River resident and a lifetime resident of Ocean County, has served in the state Assembly, as New Jersey Lottery Director and on the Dover Township (Toms River) Committee.
She is the second woman in the history of the County to serve on the Board. Hazel Gluck, Lakewood, was the first woman to serve as a Freeholder. A formal swearing in ceremony was scheduled for during the Freeholder meeting February 3 at the county Administration Building.

Editorial The Worst Winter Road Conditions Are Other Drivers It’s that time of the year again. Rain, snow and ice will make driving a chore for the more than half-a-million residents of Ocean County. And on some days, downright dangerous. This week, we have the giant mounds of snow left by the plows, scaling higher than most vehicles. Cars creep out from behind these obstacles, trying to see if a path is clear to make their turn. Or, other dangerous conditions, such as black ice, unplowed road shoulders and more abound at every literal turn. This winter, use great caution when driving in harsh winter conditions. Arguably even more important, be wary of other drivers, who may not be using the same keen judgment as our readers. Driving in the snow is an exercise utilizing all of the skills we learn as drivers. Brake early, and avoid hitting the brakes too hard. Limit your speed, especially if falling snow impairs your visibility. If you begin to slide, pump your brakes. Holding them down will only worsen your slide. Keep your eyes on the drivers around you, especially at intersections, where other vehicles may slide past stop signs and signals and right in traffic. In fact, when the ground is covered with snow, the greatest danger is not as much the snow,
but the others driving in the snow. Overly reckless and overly cautious drivers can wreak havoc with traffic patterns. Observe what other drivers are doing at all times. While snow is sure to slow traffic to a near halt, a more pressing danger, and one frequently overlooked, is ice. Freezing temperatures can turn melted snow or cold rain into ice in a matter of minutes, covering roads in a sheet of hard-to-see, slippery danger. So-called “black ice” can be an unexpected and deadly roadway condition that’s impossible to see until it’s too late. Drivers should proceed with caution when driving in freezing temperatures, remain a safe distance from other vehicles to account for longer braking distances, and watch for bridges, where the road freezes fastest. And despite what some seem to think, SUVs are not exempt from these rules. These vehicles are just as susceptible to dangerous slips and slides on icy roadways. Take into account the rollover factor, and rest assured that SUV makes careless winter driver no safer. The rules of winter driving are simple: Use common sense; refrain from speeding and tailgating; proceed with the flow of traffic (too slow is just as dangerous as too fast); and know your vehicle.

Letters To The Editor Cruz Should Be Republican Nominee We’ve seen it in cartoons, an angel on one shoulder representing you r conscience, a demon on the other as your greedy inner self. The media portrays itself as the angel while portraying Trump as the demon. Each time the Donald lays out what A mer ica ns may be se cretly thinking, (yes this includes people of both parties though they’ll never admit it) the media and political class immediately lash out in righteous indignation in an effort to maintain political correctness at its acme. Just when they think they’ve finally got him in the trap of his ow n m a k i ng, t he nex t days’ poll numbers reveal another story. This is in no way an endorsement of the Trumpster, but an observation of the political media circus of which Tr u mp is the ring master directing the g reatest show on ear th from the center ring. He has masterfully done this, spending but a pittance of his billions, while others are becoming tapped out and losing donors on failed campaigns. As he plays them all like a fiddle the show goes on. In the meantime America, like ancient Rome, burns in the background. There is only one man a nd h is ca mpaig n t hat has survived and thrived under the radar of this on-
slaught, that of Ted Cruz. If the Republican Party ever hopes to survive this Trumping they had better start putting their apples in Ted’s basket, and soon. James M. Spickard Tuckerton
Don’t Trap Beavers In regards to the recent Toms River Times articles on a beaver problem, I felt a need to respond. I was a 27-year resident of Bay ville and Bar negat. We recently moved to New Hampshire. If I was still in NJ, I would volunteer to assist in a solution that would allow the beavers and humans to co-exist peacefully. Though not, I do have some experience and expertise that I would like to share. Our condo here in NH b a c k s u p t o a b e ave r pond. In 2009 the beavers dammed the culverts that separated the upper and lower pond. Fortunately, the residents recognized the benef its of beavers and we researched how we could solve the problem in a peaceful way. To make a long story short, we made contact online with Mike Callahan of BeaverSolutions.com and the Facebook Beaver Management Forum he established. Mike and the folks on the forum shared their knowledge freely and helped us save thousands of dollars and more than a few beavers. After research was done, with Mike’s advice and guidance, I was able to

construct a culvert protection cage (beaver deceiver) for well under $300, and with about 15 minutes of help from our builder’s backhoe, we are able to install it at no additional cost. It worked flawlessly since then. Total maintenance has been less than a few hours a year and has cost nothing. However, as the article mentioned the beaver deceiver is just one solution that may or may not work. Each site is different and each situation is different. The desig n of the protection depends on many factors including longterm objectives and topographical considerations. I would also be happy to chat with interested parties in Toms River about possible steps to take. I should also note that t rapping is seldom as efficient or cost effective as co-existence. In the vast majority of cases, trapping is a short-term solution. It has been done for hundreds of years, but today there are much better solutions. The fact is that beavers are very territorial and they self limit their population. My latest blog entry is an open letter to a NH writer who ran into problems not unrelated to what you are experiencing. In part it explains that when their kits become about 2 years old, they are sent packing. They will travel up to 50 miles in search of another pond, often falling prey to predators along the way. So if you trap beavers on your pond they will return within a year or two. If co-existence is possible, it is always a more economical, more effective and benef icial remedy. If I was still in the area, I would be glad to visit the site and offer more specific advice. Even though I am not nearby, I would be
happy to talk to interested parties about crafting a solution. Art Wolinsky Former Ocean County Resident
U.S.-Israel Relations Fine Manchester Councilman Frattini’s letter to the Times, December 19, expressing his concern over U.S.-Israel relations is much appreciated. To allay his fears, the terrorist attacks to Israel are not a question of border security, but are conducted from within by legal Palestinian residents. Huge amounts of financial and defensive aid reach Israel from the U.S. each year, including the Iron Dome missile defense system which def lected the Hamas rocket attacks and stands ready to intercept others. Israel reciprocates with development and testing of military equipment and tactics. As to intelligence, there is full cooperation, understandably quietly, between U.S. and Israeli agencies covering the entire Middle East. The U.S. stands alone in support of Israel against U.N. nations condemning Israel’s defensive warfare against Hamas’ assaults. Does this sound like we are deprecating or ignoring Israel? We keep Israel safe from attacks from without, while Israel contributes to our safety from terrorism and to our military preparedness. Although Israel did not participate in the Iran nuclear talks, the nuclear threat was imminent before the agreement, and many in the Israeli military and intelligence services believe the talks were useful in at least delaying it.

Bill Aims To Prevent Inhumane Treatment Of Dogs NEW JERSEY – Continuing their effor ts to prevent the cruel treatment of animals, Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Greg McGuckin, all R-Ocean, are introducing legislation to prohibit the tethering of dogs. The legislators were also sponsors of a similar bill last session that did not become law. “As legislators and pet owners, we have always b e e n pa ssion at e about protecting animals from
abusive pet owners,” said Holzapfel. “It’s difficult to understand why someone would chain or restrain their ‘pet’ for long periods of time to the point where the dog cannot care for himself. It’s deplorable.” The bill makes it unlawful to tether a dog that poses a risk of entanglement, strangulation, drowning or other harm to the health or safety of the dog. It also prohibits the tethering of a dog during severe weather conditions. Dogs at risk
of imminent har m may be seized by authorities. Violators face fines and jail time. “New Jersey just experienced a history-making blizzard. Dogs left in extreme temperatures without proper shelter are at risk of hypothermia, frostbite and even death,” said Debora Bresch, Esq., senior state director of ASPCA Government Relations for the Mid-Atlantic region. “The ASPCA than ks Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assem-
bly members David Wolfe and Greg McGuckin for introducing this critical legislation to allow for inter vention to prevent the suffering of dogs who are tethered, improperly confined or left outdoors in extreme weather without access to proper shelter.” “It’s inhumane to leave a dog tethered to a tree or st ake for long per iods of time,” said Wolfe. “It’s time to send a strong message to abusive pet owners and others who
Freeholder Forum
mistreat dogs that their behavior will now have consequences.” “Being tied to a rope or chain which often results in injury or strangulation is bad enough, but these defenseless animals are also exposed to harsh weather conditions such as extreme heat, bitter cold, snow, rain and hail,” stated McGuckin. “There’s no excuse for treating an animal like that. Man’s best friends deserve the same love and loyalty they provide for
their owners.” Holzapfel, Wolfe and McGuckin also sponsored legislation to expand the state’s Pet Purchase Protection Act. Signed by Governor Christie last year, the law requires pet stores to provide consumers with breeder information about each cat or dog being offered for sale and prevents stores from obtaining animals from breeders who don’t meet basic care standards that comply with federal and state law.

“I think you will agree w it h me t hat ou r residents depend on electronic communications, be it phone, television or internet, for vital and emergency information during a weather emergency,” Vicari said in the letter to Mroz. “While not all outages can be prevented or quickly repaired, customers can certainly be compensated for the lack of service.”

MANCHESTER – Chief Lisa D. Parker announced that a team of assessors from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police will arrive on February 7 to examine all aspects of the Manchester Township Police Department’s policies and procedures, management, operations and support services. “Verification by the team that the Manchester Township Police Department meets the commission’s “best practice” standards is part of a voluntary process to achieve accredited status, a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence,” Parker said. As part of this final onsite assessment, employees and members of the general public are invited to provide comments to the assessment team. They may do so by telephone or email. The public may call 732-849-8359 on February 8, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. E-mail comments can be sent to tmalland@ manchestertwp.com. Telephone comments are limited to 5 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with the NJSACOP standards. A copy of the standards is available for inspection at the Manchester Township Police Department, 1 Colonial Drive. Contact Captain Todd Malland at 732-657-2009 ext. 4103. Anyone wishing to offer written comments about the Manchester Township Police Department’s ability to comply with the standards for accreditation is requested to e-mail the accreditation program manager at hdelgado@ njsacop.org or to write New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission, 751 Route 73 North, Suite 12, Marlton, NJ 08053. The Manchester Township Police Department
must comply with 105 standards in order to achieve accredited status. Chief Lisa Parker indicated, “Accreditation results in greater accountability within the agency, reduced risk and liability exposure, stronger defense against civil lawsuits, increased community support and more confidence in the agency’s ability to operate efficiently and respond to community needs.” The accreditation program manager for the NJSACOP is Harry J. Delgado. “The assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar New Jersey law enforcement agencies. The assessors will review written materials, interview agency members and visit offices and other places where compliance with the standards can be observed. Once the commission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they will report to the full commission, which will then decide if the agency is to be granted accredited status,” Delgado said. Accreditation is valid for a three-year period during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting to their continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited. The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police through its New Jersey Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission is the legitimate authority and accreditation agency in the state of New Jersey. For more information regarding the Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission, write the commission at New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission at 751 Route 73 North, Suite 12, Marlton, NJ 08053.

MANCHESTER –During Winter Storm Jonas, the Manchester Township Police Department’s Communications section answered hundreds of calls for service, ranging from first aid calls, disabled or stuck vehicles, residents reporting storm-related damage and everything in between. Many do not realize that behind the scenes, the unseen first responders are prepared and standing by for calls coming in from the public for assistance. Prepared for the worst, the Manchester Township’s Public Safety Telecommunicators, led by Supervisor Domiano del Pino, camped out at Police Headquarters during the storm, some for the entire weekend. “We are an important part of the emergency response system and you cannot have someone fail to show for work because the roads are impassable. For this reason, we encouraged our team to stay at police headquarters instead of risking dangerous driving conditions,” said
Whiting Assembly of God
Supervisor del Pino. During the storm, dispatchers were treated to homemade chili, snacks, hot cocoa and a relaxed dress code. Additionally, cots were provided by the Office of Emergency Management. Manchester Public Works assisted police, fire and medical personnel by clearing roads and shoveling so emergency equipment could reach all residents. Manchester’s three fire departments also assisted first aiders by shoveling and clearing snow so officers and first aiders could reach snowbound residences. “This was truly a group effort by all to assist every resident who was in need,” said Chief Lisa Parker. Many first responders, firefighters, first aiders, deputy OEM coordinator, and police officer’s alike, all helped out with extra duties during this past storm, camping out at their respective headquarters waiting for calls from the public.

Valentine’s Day WITH US!
Friday, February 12TH • 4:30 – 7:30 PM –Photo courtesy Manchester Township Educational Foundation These are the recipients who have received the Manchester Township Education Foundation grants. MANCHESTER – Manchester Township Educational Foundation (MTEF) President Jeffrey DeSimone and Vice President Donna Malloy presented 18 Classroom Mini-Grants, totaling about $12,000, to teachers throughout the district at a recent Board of Education meeting. DeSimone described the projects and how they would impact students. “I hope the administrators and the board give credit to these teachers for putting in the extra effort to apply for something extra to benefit the kids in their classroom,” he said. He also said that the MTEF is in need of volunteers to help them continue to support Manchester schools and invited anyone who is interested to visit their website at mtef4kids.org for more information. The following grants were awarded: Kathleen Antonelli and Rose Pett, Ridgeway– $503 for 3 Kindle Fire Tablets; Raquel Bachonski, Ridgeway– $225 for Digital Voice Recorders for a speaking and listening project; Kimberly Costagliola/Brigid Cahill, Ridgeway– $812 for two iPad Minis for Resource Room/ Special Education; Susan Doyle/Miriam Hill/Jessica Stofik, Regional Day– $798 for two Board Maker Plus! software items; Gina Foss, Ridgeway– $540 for two Mini iPads for iPad= iLearn; SheriAnne Giacomo, MTES– $369 for Mini iPad for many Hands; Jennifer Gilbert/Danielle Hickey/Danielle Knight/ Stacey O’Connor, MTES– $2,052 for four iPads: Bridge to Interactive Learning for first

DeSimone said that only one grant application was not selected because the committee felt it did not match the MTEF criteria. It was from Mr. Portuese at MTES for a Jump Rope Club project. DeSimone said the committee thought it was a good project so they looked for alternate funding for it and he announced that the Ott family would fund Portuese’s grant through the Cpl. Nick Ott Memorial Fund.

K-9 Unit Receives Donation From Deerfield Women’s Club
MACHESTER – The Manchester Township Police Department received donations recently presented by the Deerfield Women’s Club (Crestwood Village) that will directly benefit the K-9 Unit. The donations, which were spearheaded by Kathleen Wannemacher, will be put to good use to purchase items such as training equipment, canine related vehicle equipment and additional training for the unit. “Our community has been extremely receptive of our K-9 Unit since its formation one year ago, and it is encouraging for us to see that they support our efforts to keep our community safe,” said Lt. Vincent Manco, who supervises the unit. “We’re thankful to all the members of the Deerfield Women’s Club for their kind gesture of support.”
The Manchester Township Police K-9 Unit was formed in January 2015 and includes Officer Marc Micciulla and K-9 Storm and Officer Steven Wendruff and K-9 Lynk. Donations help offset the cost for care, maintenance and training for the K-9 Unit and reduce the usage of township funds. The Manchester Township Police Foundation is a non-profit organization which provides funding for youth and community outreach programs, police charities, investment in advanced education and training and funding for specialized equipment and technology in order to help our police officers better perform their duties.

Sound Objections Here are a few reasons why millions of Americans will do anything to avoid wearing a hearing aid: Reason No. 1: Vanity – It’s a sign of getting older and most people can’t deal with the combination of wearing glasses and other more pressing medical problems. This leads to denial in many cases. In reality, today’s hearing aids are almost invisible so vanity should not really be an issue! Reason No. 2: Denial – Hearing loss is an invisible handicap that can be partially compensated for many years. A typical person who finally gets fitted for a hearing aid has waited seven years. Obviously, a lot of yelling has occurred over those years along with typical statements such as “you’re mumbling,” “I don’t always pay attention,” and “just speak up and I will hear you.” Your family needs to be honest and direct with the hearing-impaired individual so he/she can overcome denial/objections. Reason No. 3: Money – Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover hearing aids. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the average cost for a pair of hearing aids is $2,800. Some insurance companies have a small benefit ranging from $500 to $750. Since the average hearing aid lasts five years, you are spending about $1 per day (per ear) to hear better. Reason No. 4: Unrealistic Expectations – We all want to hear “normally” again, but realistically, hearing aids can only compensate for
hearing loss just as eye glasses compensate for vision deficits. The word “aid” does not mean “normal” but it should suggest assistance in your ability to hear in most environments. Reason No. 5: Too Many Appointments – Better hearing takes time and patience since your brain has to adjust to all of the new sounds that you will be hearing again. Since a large majority of consumers are being fit with digital or programmable instruments, several fine-tuning sessions with a computer are required to maximize the benefits of the instrument. Most hearing health-care professionals offer at least a 30-day trial period to account for the necessary adjustments required to accomplish “better hearing.” Reason No. 6: You can make yourself crazy – For most, you may not like your hearing aids for the first week. You may complain about “everything being too shar p” or “my own voice sounds like a bad record.” However, after wearing your hearing aids consistently for several weeks, you will hopefully appreciate the “sweet nothings” that are important to you, like your son’s jokes, your spouse kibitzing, your grandchildren’s gestures or beautiful music. In summary, forget about vanity and cost and stick it in your ear. Please don’t wait seven years to face the music since this may be the first time (in a long time) that you will finally hear and understand those that you love.

5 Truly Effective Ways To Fight Cold & Flu By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I think I am a real germaphobe because I get very conscious when someone sitting next to me starts coughing, especially when they don’t cover their mouth. I’ll let the first one slide but if it happens again, I am apt to leave or hand them a Kleenex. Cover it! Is it just me or are you that way too? If you feel like you’re coming down with something, here are 5 considerations: 1. Oil of oregano is a super strong germ fighter. The essential oil of oregano is sold at health food stores and online in a little dropper bottle. Pour one or two drops in your own ‘medicinal herb tea’ (wink) and then drink it. It will not taste pleasant. You will probably curse me. But it’s going to help you. Squeeze some lemon and honey into it. The key ingredients in oregano are carvacarol and thymol, both of which inhibit the growth of hundreds of microorganisms. 2. Probiotics should be taken daily for proper immunity, but when you feel symptoms coming on, then of course I feel like you should at least double up on the dose. I am not afraid of taking probiotics throughout the day; I’m more afraid of feeling miserable and sick. High-quality probiotics will improve the quality and count of your healthy disease-fighting bacteria. Some strains will even induce IL-10-producing regulatory T cells, which is a scientific way of saying they reduce inflammation, and can help immune function as well as inflammatory disorders of the gut like painful Crohn’s. 3. FluNada, it’s a natural over-the-count-

er spray that I squirt into my throat. Yo u c a n (and should) spray this product into your nose because this is the point of entry for germs. FluNada contains a homeopathic blend of wintergreen, eucalyptus and elderberry essential oils. FluNada is sold at Walgreens if you need it right now, and if you’re feeling like you’re coming down with something, NOW is the time. This product was tested by 2 independent labs and found to be 99.9% effective against multiple cold and flu strains, including Swine, Bird and Seasonal flu. FluNada provides non-drowsy relief from multiple symptoms, including runny or blocked nose, sore throat, cough, and body aches and pains. 4. If you keep rummaging around in my purse, you will find teabags of flavored green tea. It is common for me to ask the waitress at a restaurant for a little cup of hot water “because I have my own medicinal herbs.” Sam affectionately scolded me once saying, “Do you realize we live in Colorado? She thinks your little ‘medicinal herbs’ are a different kind of GREEN tea!” The EGCG in green tea was shown in numerous studies including a 2005 “Antiviral Research” article to have antiviral effects by unraveling the viral membrane. 5. Vitamin D is a strong immune modulator and reduces susceptibility to all sorts of infections. And also, D controls the expression of more than 900 genes involved hundreds of physiological functions.

New Cranberry Is Latest In Line Developed At Rutgers To Meet Changing Industry Needs
NEW JERSEY – The Haines variety– named after William Haines Sr., a Burlington County farmer who died in 2007– is in the process of being patented. The cranberry, which will do well in the popular sweetened dried category (think Ocean Spray’s Craisins), has just been released to farmers, but the fruit will not begin to be harvested until 2017, said Nicholi Vorsa, director of
the Philip E. Marucci Center for Blueberry and Cranberry Research and Extension in Chatsworth, Burlington County, part of Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES). Americans consume an estimated 400 million pounds of cranberry each year, 20 percent of it around Thanksgiving– and New Jersey is near the top of all that cranberry production. The state
ranked third in the nation in cranberry production in 2014, making 626,000 barrels, according to a federal Department of Agriculture report, which puts New Jersey’s crop value at nearly $22 million. Rutgers researchers continuously experiment to create new varieties of cranberries to address the challenges facing the industry, such as changes
in farming regulations, the environment and consumer taste. “As more agriculture is being regulated and we’re losing the ability to control insect and disease, we are developing new methods that are much more environmentally compatible,” Vorsa said. Fruit rot, a disease caused by a number of fungi, is cranberry’s number one threat. To make matters worse, one of the fungicides growers were using was banned in Europe, which imports cranberries from New Jersey. “Breeding and selection is pretty fundamental,” Vorsa said. “If we can increase the resistance in the crop, growers would have to rely less on the pesticide.” Shawn Cutts, president of American Cranberry Growers Association, which represents 25 family farms in New Jersey, said the work that Rutgers researchers do helps the industry thrive. “Not only do they help us grow higher-yielding cranberry varieties, but they are also working toward helping us grow varieties that are resistant to fruit rot,” said Cutts, who has two farms in Burlington County. As consumers’ eating habits change, so does the research. In the 1930s and 1940s, researchers were breeding cranberries that were best for making sauces for Thanksgiving. When Ocean Spray expanded its juice market, there was a demand for cranberries that were rich in color for juicing. In the last 15 years, the principal product for growers is the sweetened dried cranberries, such as Ocean Spray’s Craisins. About 90 percent of New Jersey’s crop is for Ocean Spray, he said. “They want a berry that’s large, that’s round and all the berries are all the same color,” Vorsa said. That’s where the Haines variety will be beneficial to growers. There is also climate change to contend with. As the climate gets warmer, particularly with extreme heat in summer, there is a higher tendency for disease and heat stress to develop in the crop. But three of the Rutgers cranberry varieties– Crimson Queen, Mullica Queen and Demoranville– have a higher tolerance to heat than older varieties. The research that Vorsa and his team conduct at Rutgers doesn’t just help growers in New Jersey but throughout the country, including Wisconsin, which produces the most cranberries in the United States. “The Rutgers varieties are doing extremely well in the main cranberry growing locations, including Massachusetts and Wisconsin,” he said. These Rutgers varieties are also being grown in Chile and Canada. The Mullica Queen, released in 2008, has genes from varieties native to New Jersey, Massachusetts and Wisconsin. “New Jersey offers the best site for breeding cranberry because we get winters and summers that are extremely variable,” he said. The flower bud for cranberries are produced in late summer and fall and if temperatures dip too low in that time of dormancy, then next year’s crop can be lost. That is why cranberry beds are flooded in extremely cold regions during the winter. “The crop is not like corn where you sow it in May and reap it in August and all you worry about is a two- to three-month window. Cranberries have to be adapted through all seasons,” he said. “It’s a lengthy and costly process.” “There is a notion that you release a variety and it’s good forever,” he said. “And it some cases they can last a long time, but as ecology changes, breeding allows you to select for a varieties that are best suited for the current climate, pests and grower management requirements.”

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Learning To Fly Dear Joel, I am terrified of flying. I know that this is hurting my marriage, family life and social life. I have a sister and other family that live on the West Coast and I barely get to see them. I struggle with this and feel guilty that I am holding everyone back from more pleasure that we can otherwise be enjoying. Answer: Let me start by saying that the longer I write this column, the more I wish to tell people that they are not alone in their struggles. Logical answers will not help you because no matter how much I tell you of the odds of being hurt in air travel, I don’t believe that it will help much. There are courses that you can try to overcome this fear. The problem is that most of them are in larger cities such as New York, Philadelphia, etc. If you wish to work on this closer to home, there is hypnosis, Neuro feedback and other treat-
ment methods available. Additionally, you can speak with your doctor about anxiety medications to use that are definitely helpful. I would use it weeks before a trip to experience the calming effect that may help you. As I always write in this column, feeling guilty is worthless. It is a way of not doing anything to help a situation. You are missing out on a big part of life and I sympathize with that part of your question. Lastly, if you took the time to write to me about this fear, you are interested in change. I wish you luck in your quest for a new beginning. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com.

Grunin Art Gallery Announces Season Of Exhibits
TOMS RIVER - The Grunin Center Art Gallery, Ocean County College Main Campus, announced its 2015-2016 Gallery Exhibit schedule featuring local and national artists. Admission to the gallery is free. February 2016: John Delaney – This artist’s media range from drawing and painting, to sculpture and digital art, and from photography and mixed media, to interior and exterior murals. Delaney is a member of the Toms River
Artists Community, serving on the board of directors. Over the past 30 years, Delaney has received numerous awards including “Best of Show” in the 2014 Toms River Harvest/Arts Festival, was a “Finalist” in Ocean County Happening Artist, and has had his work displayed via digital billboards in Times Square, New York City. Delaney has also been published in Art Takes Times Square show book and Professional Artist Magazine.
March 2016: Ocean County Teen Arts Festival – The Teen Arts Program is an arts-in-education project where area high school students have an opportunity to have their work critiqued by professionals in their field. Artwork is displayed in a variety of media including basic drawing, caricatures and cartoon art, paper sculpture, pen and ink, and water color imagery. April 2016: Wayne Lerman – While Lerman
is a licensed architect and certified interior designer, he considers himself to be an artist. A member of the Art Alliance of Monmouth County, Shore Institute of Contemporary Art, and Monmouth Council of the Arts, Lerman tries to express color, form and textures in his artwork. Since he deals with realism every day in architecture, abstract expression is a way for him “to get out of the box without limitations of budget, function and rules.”

Georgian Court University Announces Guaranteed Financial Aid
LAKEWOOD – High school seniors who plan to start college this fall are narrowing their choices and taking the next step to prepare for college—completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, otherwise known as the FAFSA. The process determines how much a family might be expected to contribute toward their student’s college costs. To help families budget, Justin G. Roy, Georgian Court University dean of admissions, has announced that all new students who begin their studies at GCU in the Fall 2016 semester will have their institutional financial aid award guaranteed for at least their first two years. The guaranteed award is contingent on a student meeting the criteria for institutional awards set forth in the academic catalog as well as meeting all applicable federal and state deadlines. “Affordability is on the forefront of every student’s mind. This announcement is another example of GCU’s commitment to making its educational program available to all qualified students,” says Dean Roy. “Our primary motive is to help students navigate through the financial aid process in order to afford tuition at a private university and obtain the best education possible despite economic conditions.” Through a combination of financial
aid packaging, pursuit of scholarship and grant opportunities and on-campus work-study jobs, GCU works to make its educational program available to all qualified students, regardless of financial need. Last year, 99 percent of all firstyear Georgian Court University students received some form of financial aid, including more than $12 million in GCU scholarships and grants and other funding from government and private sources. A college education is an important investment in the future. When considering the cost of a college education, you should also consider the value of that education. Georgian Court, which is twenty-first on Washington Monthly’s “Best Bang for the Buck” list of colleges and ranked 25th among Money Magazine’s “Top 50 Colleges That Add the Most Value,” is one of the most affordable private universities in New Jersey. Dean Roy adds that a campus visit is key for any college search. “Touring the campus, meeting the faculty, and asking questions of current students is the best way to narrow your college search,” he says. Georgian Court’s next Open House will take place on February 6 at 10 a.m. Interested students can sign up at georgian.edu/event/open-house/.

Township Council Reorganizes For 2016
MANCHESTER – Manchester Township Council member James A. Vaccaro, serving since 2012, was selected to lead as Council President in 2016 at the annual Reorganization Meeting held on January 4. Vaccaro, who served as council vice president in 2015, succeeds Brendan Weiner, who was elected in 2006, as president. Mr. Vaccaro outlined his vision for 2016 and beyond in remarks given at the meeting. “This Council is committed to keeping Manchester Township an attractive place in which to reside and making Manchester Township more affordable for its residents,” he said. That includes exploring revenue enhancement projects, increasing tax ratables through controlled development, attracting commercial ratables, encouraging local business growth and exploring and evaluating the redevelopment options of the Heritage Minerals Site. For 2016, Vaccaro and the Council will focus their efforts on implementing a NoKnock Policy and Foreclosure program, and will explore the feasibility of an inhouse grant writer and alternative energy sources. He also pledged to continue to work closely with Mayor Kenneth Palmer, now in his second year as mayor, to make
Manchester a better place for all residents and businesses. Serving as Council Vice President in 2016 is Samuel F. Fusaro, who noted that this was his 21st Reorganization Meeting. Fusaro was part of the transition when Manchester Township changed to a nonpartisan form of government in 1990. Though he had left the Council for a period of time, Fusaro returned in 2011. “I think this is a great council. We don’t always agree, but we reach the decisions that are in the best interest of Manchester Township and its residents,” Fusaro said. The composition of the council remains the same as last year, as no seats were up for election in 2015. Serving on the council in 2016 are: President James A. Vaccaro, Vice President Samuel F. Fusaro, Craig Wallis, Brendan Weiner, and Charles L. Frattini. Other items at the Reorganization Meeting included the appointment of Manchester Township’s professional services and establishment of meeting dates for 2016. Information about Manchester’s Township Council, its members, meeting agendas and minutes can be found at ManchesterTwp.com/town-council.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
k’s
Wolfgang Puc
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid aggravations by remaining active. In the week to come you could end up at odds with a partner over shared finances or resources. Burn off worries and cares by exercising or finding other suitable distractions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Fool’s names and fool’s faces are often seen in public places. In the upcoming week you may hide behind the curtains when the stage lights are turned on to guarantee the attention is placed on someone else. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Concentrate on completing common objectives. You may have self-interest in mind when tackling attaining a goal or a project this week. Do what is best for everyone concerned even if it means a minor sacrifice. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t heed your needs. A plethora of fantasies could magnify your dissatisfaction with the status quo. This isn’t the week to make major investments, ask someone to share your life or to interview for a new job. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be too gullible for your own good as this week unfolds. You could easily become embroiled in debates if you ignore the fine print or make an error of judgment. A new romantic attraction could cause trouble. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Polish and brighten your sterling reputation as this week unfolds. Take steps to insure you are known as someone who follows through on promises and gets the job done. Sidestep major decisions or commitments.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Chance meetings with those who are beacons of sincerity may offer an opportunity to receive sound advice. Wait until next week to make your most important decisions about major purchases or financial affairs. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You would offer an aperitif to a thief. Your generous nature may be blind to the faults of others in the week to come. You could be kind hearted even when it isn’t appropriate. If fooled you may become angry. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Hamsters on a treadmill only give the appearance of progress. The more you try to gain ground the easier you lose it. You might spin your wheels if you attempt to start a new enterprise or project this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be put off by minor differences in opinions or backgrounds. Be especially cautious about how you spend your pennies in the week ahead. You could be attracted to deceptive get rich schemes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put the can opener away before you open that can of worms. In the week ahead you may voice imaginary fears or succumb to wishful thinking. You may find yourself challenged to keep your temper in hand. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t overestimate your abilities. The stars may bring mixed blessings in the week ahead. You should focus on ways to fulfill existing commitments. Be crystal clear about your expectations and promises. (c) 2015 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

I’m always surprised by how often people talk about so-called “convenience” foods meals that have been prepared in advance and are sold in supermarkets either ready to serve or to reheat and eat. As a result, time and again home cooks are putting food that is past its prime on their dining tables. It’s often pumped up with salt, sugar and all sorts of additives that aren’t good for anyone. To me, convenience has a different meaning. The trick is to start with good, fresh ingredients. Cook them simply, in ways that highlight their natural flavor, color, texture and goodness, and combine them with seasonings that pay the perfect complement to those qualities. Let me show you what I mean by sharing one - well, actually, two - recipes from WolfgangPuckCookingSchool.com. One is linguine with shrimp and pesto; the other is a companion recipe for my pesto sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight supper and yet special enough for a casual dinner party, the pasta recipe features plump shrimp and easy-to-find dried linguine noodles, all seasoned with the lively flavors of fresh basil, garlic and extra-virgin olive oil. Those seasonings themselves are the principal ingredients of the pesto, a classic pasta sauce from Genoa, Italy. The preparation gets its name from a Latin word that means “to pound or crush,” a descriptive reference to the mortar and pestle that are traditionally used to reduce the ingredients to a thick, luscious paste. But, as you’ll learn from the recipe here and from the high-definition video lesson in my school, you can make the sauce far more quickly and easily with a food processor. Also, note that the version of pesto I offer doesn’t have the Parmesan cheese often included in a pesto recipe. That’s because the sauce doesn’t keep as well if you blend cheese in it right away, as well as the fact that I find the Parmesan can mask rather than highlight the fresh, sweet flavor of the shrimp. Instead of the usual cheese you might expect to be sprinkled over each serving, I use a garnish of oil-toasted breadcrumbs for a deliciously crunchy contrast. You’ll also be surprised to learn that the entire main course takes a matter of minutes to prepare once the water is boiling for the pasta. One taste and you’ll understand that real ingredients you cook for yourself can become the ultimate expression of convenience. QUICK AND EASY PESTO SAUCE Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 10 garlic cloves, peeled 3/4 cup (185 mL) pine nuts, toasted in a low oven or a dry saucepan over low heat 4 cups (1 L) packed fresh basil leaves only 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt In a mini chopper, a blender or a food
processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine the garlic, pine nuts, basil and olive oil. Blend or process, until smoothly pureed, stopping several times as needed to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Season to taste with salt. To store, pour into airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to several days; or freeze for up to several months, thawing in the refrigerator before use. LINGUINE WITH SHRIMP AND PESTO Serves 4 3 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 cup (185 mL) coarse dry breadcrumbs such as panko Kosher salt 12 ounces (375 g) linguine About 2 dozen large shrimp, peeled and deveined Freshly ground black pepper or white pepper 2 or 3 pinches crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine 1/3 cup (85 mL) pesto sauce (see recipe), or store-bought pesto sauce 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus small sprig for garnish Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs. Stir to coat evenly with the oil. Cook until the crumbs are evenly browned and crisp, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Remove and reserve 1 cup pasta cooking liquid from the pot. Drain the pasta through a colander. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup (60 mL) oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet. Toss until the shrimp begin to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the chili flakes, then the wine. Cook, stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan, until the wine evaporates and the shrimp are just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add the pesto and butter, and toss to coat the shrimp with the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasonings, then stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking liquid. Add the drained pasta and chopped parsley to the skillet. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Toss to coat the pasta and heat the dish through, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more pasta cooking liquid by the tablespoon if the sauce seems dry. Twist about a fourth of the linguine onto a two-pronged carving fork and transfer to a serving plate, easing off the pasta to form a mound. Repeat for three more servings. Distribute the shrimp evenly among the plates. Sprinkle generously with the breadcrumbs. Garnish with parsley sprigs.
