More Than 200 Applicants Take Police Physical Exam

MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Police Department administered the Physical Agility Examination, the first phase of testing for the position of Police Officer and Class II Special Officer recently. More than 200 applicants
participated in the event which took place at the Manchester High School between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The event began with Manchester Police Chief Lisa Parker welcoming the applicants. “This is the first step in
the process of becoming a member of the best police department in the state. I expect each and every one of you to put forth your very best effort, good luck,” Chief Lisa Parker said. The Physical Agility Examination consisted of
the following exercises: pull-ups, push-ups, situps, squat thrusts, and a 1 mile run. Those applicants who achieved a minimum combined passing score, advanced to the boxing component which consisted (Police - See Page 4)
Whiting Charity Celebrates 5th Year
WHITING – Project Pride, based out of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Whiting, celebrated its fifth anniversary with a fashion show featuring items from the Mother Seton Sellar, a second hand clothing store sponsored by the group. After being told by a guidance counselor from Manchester High School that local students were living out of their cars, youth coordinators, Rosemary MacMaster and Debbie Milecki, felt there was an excellent opportunity to create a community service project for the Parish youth. Their corroboration lead to the birth of Project Pride.
The original focus was to provide a resource center for local teens to get clothing, toiletries, school supplies and food. With an active Parish Food Bank, Project Pride then created the Mother Seton Sellar where teens could come in and get basic necessities. Clothing items were and still are generally $1, but given for free to those who cannot afford to pay anything. After Superstorm Sandy, the mission of Project Pride evolved. Parish teens took over half the inventory of the Sellar and donated it to a shelter on the barrier island. Shortly after the (Charity - See Page 4)

Back in May, Council invited Carmine de Falco, president and CEO of PropertyTaxCard.com, a part of Fincredit, to talk to them and residents about the shop local program that has been a success in towns, including the program’s flagship town, Marlboro.

$1.2M Land Purchase Latest Step In Saving Joint Base, Officials Say
By Daniel Nee JACKSON – Ocean County officials say a new land purchase is the latest example of a long-term effort to lobby in favor of keeping Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey and maintaining its mission. The county freeholder board approved the purchase of a 25 acre site in Jackson Tow nship that backs up to Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station at its February 3 meeting,
which officials say lies in the flight path of military aircraft. The plot of land had planning approval for about 25 homes. “This county and the people of this county… we support the Joint Base and we’re doing our part to screen it by using our Natural Lands Trust money to create buffers to the base,” said Freeholder John C. Bartlett. “This area is not just the flight path, this is as the planes get low. (Purchase - See Page 4)

federal government is determining which bases to close. The Joint Base provides 42,000 jobs and injects $6.9 billion into New Jersey’s economy, officials said, a key reason why lawmakers are lobbying for it to remain open. In recent years, the KC-135 tankers that historically have been kept at the base are being retired and replaced with the new KC-46 aircraft. The federal government has narrowed down its list of bases where the KC-46 will be housed to 11, including the Joint Base, which is the closest American air base to Europe and Africa. It is likely that the U.S. Defense Department
will further narrow its list by the end of this summer. “The more land that we preserve around the base, the fewer complaints we have from nearby residents,” said Freeholder Gerry Little. “This board, all of us, are committed to doing everything we can to preserving the Joint Base and all its missions.” Preserving the base is “vital to our defense,” said Point Pleasant resident Vincent Casten, who attended the freeholder meeting. “If that base closes, it will be a disaster,” he added.
In addition to the 25 acres near the base, the freeholder voted to purchase a 2-acre parcel of land in Barnegat Township which abuts Cloverdale County Park. “It’s a very beautiful setting – it’s a small purchase that goes along with lands we’ve already purchased in the area,” said Bartlett. “ The site has not been approved for development, but in theory, streets could be constructed and homes could have been built there, Bartlett said. The two acres will be purchased for $55,000, funded through the open space fund.

Paul Prendergast, owner and lead instructor of Paul Prendergast Karate Schools (Brick and Toms River). Master Paul Prendergast, a 6th degree black belt, was asked by Manchester Police Lt. Vincent Manco, a former student of Paul Prendergast Karate if he would assist the Police Department by supervising/officiating the boxing component, who said he would

Project Pride has been much more than the Sellar. They are active supporters of Kevin’s Kids, the Atlantic City Mission, and their Parish Food Bank. Each year the teens from Project Pride, with the help of adult volunteers, run a Thanksgiving Luncheon for senior citizens, hosting over 130 people
at the Parish and delivering more than 75 meals to homebound seniors. This past year Project Pride provided a $750 scholarship to a local student in need. For more information on Project Pride, or how you can help, contact Debbie Milecki or Rosemary MacMaster at 732-350-7391.

for Fincredit to start the program in town. Business owners in August were skeptical about reaching the oft-times technologically challenged senior citizen population, as the card registration and accounts must be accessed online. Rosen spoke to that. “Marlboro has a heavy senior population too. Our seniors love the program,” Rosen said. “Our seniors, the pushback we get there isn’t the use of the card, but registering the card. Once they’re in the program, they’re our biggest users. They love to save every penny.”

and receive a cash rebate minus Fincredit’s fees. There will not be a charge to residents to obtain the card. For example, a restaurant that provides a 10 percent property tax rebate will credit $20 on a $200 food bill. Fincredit’s fee is 25 percent of that credit, or $5. Merchants would need to purchase a machine that swipes the cards for $160 and a $10 flat fee per month. There is no cost if transactions are done online. At least 15 merchants must be in the program

With the necessary ordinance in place, the program may take effect in early March. Vendors will pay a $25 annual licensing fee to the township to be in the program. As The Manchester Times reported back in May, the program works like this: the township will issue cards to residents. Residents would use those cards at participating in-town merchants. Each time the card is used, a percentage of the sale would go toward the resident’s property tax bill for the following year. Renters may also participate

Editorial Don’t Forget The Fire Elections They’ve never had a great level of voter turnout, but they are important. Several towns hold fire district elections this time of year, deciding the annual budgets for the fire departments. The hoses, ladders, vehicles and equipment these fire departments use save our property and life – as well as protect them as they selflessly respond to emergencies. Whether or not the fire district can make a capital purchase is decided by voters, who vote yes or no to annual budget questions, including the fire district tax each property owner will pay. The fire district elections also decide who will lead the fire districts, electing the commissioners who oversee a district’s operations. We encourage you to learn more about candidates and budgets in this coming election. Not every town has a separately governed fire district. These towns do: Brick, Jackson, Lakewood, Little Egg Harbor, Plumsted, Toms River, and also Howell, places where voters should get out and vote in the fire elections this year. These elections take place annu-
ally on the third Saturday of February. If you cannot make it to the polls for the election, exercise your voting rights by obtaining an absentee ballot. For Ocean County, that’s from the Ocean County Board of Elections: Ocean County Election Board, 129 Hooper Ave., or call 732929-2167. In Monmouth, that’s monmouthcountyvotes.com. This year’s fire district elections are February 20, with most polling locations being your district’s fire house. With the Saturday date in February, and with polling locations often different than they are for the November general election, it’s easy to see why voter turnout is low for these fire district elections. What’s more, not many folks know these elections exist or care to exercise their right to vote in them. But you should. And with mail-in ballots available, there’s fewer excuses in the way of voting in this or any election. If you aren’t a registered voter, the last day to register to vote for the fire elections is February 18. See you at the polls.

Letters To The Editor Start Your Year With Plant-Based Diet Once again, it’s time for New Year’s resolutions, particularly those to improve our diet and exercise routine. Although gun violence and traffic accidents remain the leading causes of death among young people, the most dangerous weapon for the rest of us is still our fork. Well over a million of us are killed each year by high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other chronic diseases linked to our meat-based diet. But times are changing. According to Gallup, 22 percent of American consumers are avoiding meat and 12 percent are avoiding dairy products. Supermarket chains, along with Target and Walmart, offer a growing selection of delicious and healthy plantbased meats and dairy products. Animal meat consumption has dropped by 8 percent in the past decade. Hundreds of school, college, hospital, and corporate cafeterias have embraced Meatless Monday and vegan meals. Fast-food chains like Chipotle, Panera, Subway, Taco Bell and White Castle, are rolling out vegan options. Let’s make this New Year’s resolution about exploring the rich variety of plant-based entrees, lunch meats, cheeses, ice creams and milks, as well as the more traditional green and yellow veggies. The internet offers tons of recipes and transition tips. Hal Tubbs Toms River
MacArthur Needs To Go Home In December, the US Congress passed a $1.1 trillion budget. BusinessWeek magazine calls it “the elephantine spending bill.” It was accompanied by $900 billion in tax credits made permanent instead of allowed to expire. 95 Republican members of the House of Representatives voted against it, which means it passed with Democrat votes. Rep. Tom MacArthur, whose 3rd District includes Toms River, wasn’t one of them. Here’s what he voted for: To fund sanctuary cities (which protect illegal aliens from deportation). To spend billions for Syrian refugees when they arrive in this country. To build a $1 billion destroyer which the Navy says it doesn’t want or need. To build a $680 million cutter which the Coast Guard says it doesn’t want or need. To spend a $9 billion fine against a French bank, not to reduce the national debt, but to pay $4.4 million tax free to each of the hostages taken at the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979, even though the terms of their release prevented them from seeking compensation and about a third are already dead. It also spends $7 billion more to extend the Zadroga Act to the year 2090. Aside from the fact that no one connected to 9/11 will be alive by then, it ignores that firemen have hazardous jobs which put their health at

risk unrelated to 9/11, not to mention equally hazardous habits some may have, such as smoking. In return, the Republicans achieved repeal of a 1970’s statute prohibiting the export of domestic oil. Nancy Pelosi, the House Democrat leader, said in the Wall Street Journal, “They want Big Oil so bad, they give away the store.” The Washington Times ran the headline, “Obama gets all his appropriations.” If you call MacArthur’s office to express disagreement, a staff member, instead of respectfully thanking the caller, will attempt to brainwash you to accept the righteousness of his vote. He will argue that the congressman is a cost-cutter when, in fact, his votes and politics are far left of this district, with low scores from conservative groups. MacArthur is a demi-billionaire carpetbagger from Morris County who spent $5 million of his own fortune to get elected. He is up for re-election this year. Send him back home. C. Crowley Toms River
Christ. Morality is based upon human experience. Surely, the light of experience is enough to tell us that slavery is wrong, that polygamy is odious, and that murder is not a virtue. “It requires no revelation from God,” as one skeptic once wrote, “that stealing is unpopular, and God or no God, murder is a crime and as long as people object to being killed, murder will be illegal.” These things are immoral in and of themselves whether God exists or not; they do not come from some invisible source or book. While religion may act as a vessel for morality, it is not the source. My old university professor had it right when he said: “The person who does justice, or who tries to do so, who is honest and kind and gives to others what he claims for himself, is a moral person, whether he or she believes in God or not.” All you need do is look for the harm and you will understand morality.

Carson’s Moral Origins Wrong
Where Was Obama?
Presidential hopeful, Dr. Ben Carson, recently said that moral values come from a belief in God and the Bible. Does that mean, as author Ruth Green noted, “that people who do not believe woman was made from a man’s rib, that a snake talked to a naked lady in a garden, are less moral than people who do?” Morality was not invented with the Bible, the Ten Commandments or Christianity. The truth is, justice, mercy, forgiveness, honor, all the virtues that ever blossomed in the human heart were known and practiced long before the advent of
Were you aware that on the annual D-Day ceremonies that last several days, the only president that was not represented there is our very own President Barack Obama – I find this to be a disgrace. Look at the young men who never left there alive. They deserve the time it would take to visit that honorable place. I don’t think that most Americans are aware of this shameful behavior. Show up Mr. President and honor those who have died for you and me to have a safe life. Bette Kooreman Whiting

DEP Recommends Best Practices For Wood Burning NEW JERSEY – The Department of Environmental Protection is reminding New Jersey residents to take steps to reduce their impact on air quality when burning wood for heat, whether in fireplaces, wood stoves or outdoor wood boilers. The DEP recommends following these guidelines for burning wood at home: Allow wood to season before burning it. Seasoning entails allowing the wood to sit outdoors for at least six months. Seasoned wood
is darker, has cracks in the end grain and sounds hollow when smacked against another piece of wood. Use a wood moisture meter to test the moisture content of wood. Wood burns most efficiently when its moisture content is below 20 percent. Stack wood neatly off the ground with the top covered to protect the wood from rain and snow. Start fires with newspaper and dry kindling. Keep fires burning hot. Regularly remove ashes to ensure proper airflow.
Never burn garbage, cardboard, plastics, wrapping materials, painted materials or pressure-treated wood in your stove or fireplace. Keep anything flammable– including drapes, furniture, newspapers and books– far away from any wood-burning appliance. Keep an accessible and recently inspected fire extinguisher nearby. Consider using an indoor air HEPA filter in the same room as a stove or fireplace. A study by the University of British

NJ Blood Services Seek Blood Donors
NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.” “This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our

Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center. To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive, call toll free: 800933-2566 or visit nybloodcenter.org. If you cannot donate but still wish to participate in bringing crucial blood products to patients in need, ask someone to donate for you, or consider volunteering at a local blood drive. Any company, community organization, place of worship, or individual may host a blood drive. NYBC also offers special community service scholarships for students who organize community blood drives during summer months. Blood donors receive free mini-medical exams on site including information about their temperature, blood pressure and hematocrit level. Eligible donors include those people at least age 16 (with parental permission or consent), who weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, are in good health and meet all Food and Drug Administration and NY or NJ State Department of Health donor criteria. People over 75 may donate with a doctor’s note.

Healthy Hearing With Folic Acid
In a world where the word “healthy” is tossed around like a salad, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by information about your well-being. To make things simpler for you, we’ve served up some easy-to-digest facts about diet and hearing health. Folate is naturally found in food, whereas folic acid is manmade from folate. This B vitamin is proven to help prevent high-frequency hearing loss, which is the varying inability to perceive high-pitched sounds and consonants. Folic acid decreases the amount of the amino acid homocysteine in your blood by increasing the creation of red blood cells. Too much homocysteine causes hearing difficulty by reducing blood flow to the inner ear. Folic acid is also useful in preventing heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Older adults need 400 micrograms of folic
acid every day for good health. It is easy to increase your daily intake of the nutrient by eating more of foods like beans, citrus fruits, enriched grains, and dark leafy vegetables. To make it easier, in January 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began requiring manufacturers to add folic acid to food that is labeled as “enriched.” Increasing your intake can be as simple as rolling out of bed and grabbing a quick breakfast. Just a cup of enriched breakfast cereal with one cup of 1 percent milk, plus three-quarters of a cup of OJ on the side, will put you at 32 percent of your daily requirement of folic acid in one meal. Talk about starting your day off right! Folic acid-rich foods like spinach, avocado, strawberries, broccoli, and cantaloupe are hearing helpful foods.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Here’s Help For Fibrocystic Breast Pain
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I hugged a friend who I hadn’t seen in two years and she didn’t hug me back. I thought it strange, but she quickly offered that her breasts were just incredibly sore. I remember experiencing that for a few months when I was a younger girl so I totally understood. So if your ‘girls’ ache, feel bruised, or heavy on the inside, have you considered why it’s happening? My friend did not, she just accepted it. They were so painful, she couldn’t even hug her children. Sleeping was painful The technical term is “fibrocystic breast pain” and an estimated 30 to 60 percent of women experience this. Simply put, our “boobs” are two large milk glands (some larger than others, congratulations to those ladies!). Really sexy, huh? All kidding aside, all breasts contain some degree of lumps (or “cysts”), however, some breasts will contain more lumps than others due to hormonal changes. It’s the lumps that cause your breasts to get uncomfortable, sometimes even painful. Symptoms of fibrocystic breasts will be the most intense before your period and then usually leave immediately following the period. Estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin (all girly hormones) cause cells in the breast tissue to swell. This is a normal hormonal change during menstruation. Some clinicians may try to prescribe oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy; however, it is a bit controversial and the jury is still out on whether or not those help or make the condition worse. Certain supplements may be helpful, so please ask your practitioner about any or all of these:
Iodine – Iodine is a mineral antioxidant that is comprised of your thyroid hormone, but it’s absolutely needed to maintain healthy breast tissue. When you are iodine deficient, your hormones are affected causing otherwise healthy breast tissue to become cystic and painful. A study of 111 healthy women with a history of breast pain and discomfort were given iodine for six months and 50 percent of the patients who took 6 mg of iodine daily were reported to have clinically significant reduction in overall breast pain. Vitamin E – A double blind published study found Vitamin E supplementation had a significant decrease in breast symptoms related to PMS (Premenstrual syndrome). If you can’t find a high-quality supplement of natural, mixed vitamin E, just eat a lot of sunflowers and nuts. Evening Primrose Oil – Evening primrose oil is an herb and is extracted from the plant, Oenothera biennis. The seeds of the plant contain oil called gamma linolenic acid (GLA). GLA helps reduce inflammation during menstruation so it could be very adept at reducing the pain associated with breast tenderness and menstrual cramps. Caffeine Elimination – Don’t hate the messenger! I’m sorry to have to tell you that your ‘Cup of Love’ could be doing more harm than good. Caffeine contains a chemical called methylxanthine which makes blood vessels open up and the dilation causes breast discomfort. Instituting these supplements and dietary changes could improve your huggability within weeks.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Inside The Law
Injured At Work? Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an i nju r y on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an inju red worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee
MICHELE’S
Robert C. Shea Esq. Christopher R. Shea Esq.
receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note a not her cr it ical benef it of t he Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections lawsuits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case.

Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
I Can’t Smile Without You Dear Joel, I am embarrassed to even write this, but here goes. My 14-year-old daughter refuses to brush her teeth. I believe that except for her annual visit to the dentist, she hasn’t brushed her teeth for over two years. I’ve explained to her that she will eventually develop gum disease, need dentures and her ability to find a boyfriend is probably a zero. It breaks my heart that she doesn’t care about her hygiene. We fight about this at least a few times a week. Answer: Parents go through much heartache in attempting to mold their children into the people that they think that they should be. By now your daughter is aware of all the logic that you are showing her. She knows that brushing is necessary for good health. There are some clues, however, in what it looks to be at least on the surface. Her catching a boyfriend with this undesirable behavior may be part of a larger picture. It may be that she doesn’t want any kind of adolescent romance and this is a way of her seeing that it doesn’t happen. You won’t gain anything by telling her that
it isn’t healthy. She already is well aware of that. My suggestion to you is to do nothing. As difficult as that is, I would watch the story but not bring it up while other arguing is going on in the home. Leave the toothpaste, brush and mouth wash in the same place every day as a silent reminder. What I do see in the story is that she is willing to see her dentist. Try making four appointments this year as a way of treating her every three months. I would give it a year and do nothing more than that. If she at the age of 16 agrees to go to the dentist but never brush her teeth, I would seek professional help. The story as I see it is about low self-esteem or maybe a phobia and not only good personal hygiene. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.
If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

You can use your education to attain your heart’s desire in the week ahead. The lessons you learned in your younger years could serve you well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Safety before sensitivity. You yearn for security and have a tendency to take a cautious approach in the week ahead. You may put duty before pleasure and can do well with any task that requires discrimination. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some bridges are made of stone and can’t be burned. Old friends can hamper your progress this week by loading you down with excess baggage. To overcome potential criticism honor your past promises and obligations. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Overlook unavoidable embarrassing moments in the week to come. When someone says the wrong thing or a coworker makes a silly mistake it is best to simply ignore it. Group activities could squeeze your wallet. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Fame is the name of the game. In the week ahead you can make the most of your reputation by mixing with people in public places. You could be enriched by a passing opportunity if you wisely accept it.

As this week unfolds you may face a choice between acting on past precedents and acting on principle. Hold off on making crucial decisions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can appreciate great art even if you aren’t an artist. Just because you don’t possess a talent or skill doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the beautiful things in life that other people provide. Develop appreciation this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The New Moon in your sign this week might mark the beginning of a new phase in your personal attitudes. Focus on being proactive with financial matters rather than insisting on following traditions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A relationship might fit like a glove.

Wolfgang Puc
It’s Soup Season! Chase The Winter Chill Away With A Zesty Bowl Of Soup By Wolfgang Puck
Last year, much of the Midwest and Eastern U.S. endured snowstorm after snowstorm. Right now, where I live in Southern California, we’re in the grip of what meteorologists have been saying may be the biggest El Nino rain system ever. Yes, winter can feel like a burden. But I like to think of it in much more optimistic terms: It’s perfect soup season. Whether you’re facing a day of snow, rain or simply cooler-than-normal temperatures, a bowl of soup can sooth and nourish you. I like to imagine people a century ago, or longer, with big kettles of soup murmuring by the fire. A favorite recipe might have simmered for hours, and the act of cooking it alone could have been as warming as the soup itself. Today’s cooks live in very different circumstances, of course. Central heating reduces or eliminates the practical purpose of gathering around the fire. And everyone seems to be living a busier life, often shying away from recipes that seem to take too long to cook. But I have strived to share with home cooks my own secrets about how to make great-tasting food quickly and easily. And one of the best ways I know for preparing wonderful soups quickly is to use a pressure cooker. Today’s electric pressure cookers are models of safety and reliability, with secure lids and easy-to-set timers that automatically start counting down to a set cooking time once pressure has been reached. That makes it easier than ever to enjoy the benefits of this method, which dramatically reduces cooking times while concentrating flavor. You’ll see what I mean when you try a new take on one of my winter favorites. A pureed soup of butternut squash, bright with the fresh orange and ginger, takes only 10 minutes to cook once pressure has been reached. That allows just enough time to make a quick cranberry relish to garnish each bowl. But that not’s the end of the ease that inexpensive modern appliances bring to this recipe. I also like to puree the justcooked soup right inside the pressure cooker using a hand-held immersion blender. That’s the perfect combination of convenience and great f lavor any home cook would want - especially in the depths of winter. BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP Serves 6 to 8 1 large butternut squash about 2 pounds
(500 g), halved, seeded, peeled and cut into large chunks 1 large yellow onion, peeled and coarsely chopped 1 piece fresh ginger, about 2 inches (5 cm), peeled and thinly sliced 2 or 3 large oranges (1 zested), juiced to make 1 cup (250 mL) 1 sprig fresh rosemary Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 2 tablespoons honey 2 cups (500 mL) organic chicken broth or low-sodium vegetable broth 1/4 cup (60 mL) heavy cream, plus extra for garnish (optional) Small sprigs fresh Italian parsley, for garnish CRANBERRY-SPICE RELISH: 3/4 pound (375 g) fresh or frozen whole cranberries or frozen 1/2 cup light brown sugar Kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom In a pressure cooker, combine the squash chunks, chopped onion, ginger, orange zest and juice, rosemary, salt and pepper to taste, 1 tablespoon of honey and stock. If you like, add the cream. Secure the lid on the pressure cooker, seal, bring to pressure, and cook under pressure for 10 minutes. While the soup comes to pressure and cooks, make the cranberry-spice relish. In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the cranberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar softens, about 3 minutes. Cover and continue cooking until the cranberries pop and turn tender, about 10 minutes longer, seasoning to taste with salt. Stir in cinnamon and cardamom, cover, and cook until thick, about 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Turn back to the soup, and quick-release the pressure from the pressure cooker. With tongs, remove the rosemary sprig and discard. With an immersion blender, blend the soup inside the pressure cooker. Taste, adjust the seasonings with salt and stir in 1 tablespoon honey to enhance the sweetness. To serve the soup, ladle it directly from the pressure cooker into heated bowls. Place a spoonful of cranberry relish into the center of each bowl. (You can reserve leftover relish for another use.) Drizzle the soup lightly with some cream, if you like, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
