Lacey Pic�s Ne� Police Chie�

By Daniel Nee LACEY – Michael DiBella has been appointed the new chief of the Lacey Township Police Department, succeeding David A. Paprota, who recently retired. “We’re very honored, and very proud of you,” said Committeeman Gary Quinn, who helped guide the township committee through the selection process. DiBella joined the department in 1994 as a special police officer and became a regular, full-time officer in 1998. He became a detective in 2002 and, ever since, has been moving up the ranks. “I don’t even know where to begin, there are so many people here who have supported me throughout my entire career,” said DiBella, addressing a packed house at the July 14 committee meeting where he was appointed. DiBella’s appointment yielded multiple standing ovations, tears of joy from family members, and a heaping dose of community spirit from a building full of well-wishers. “In these uncertain times around the world, where police sometimes aren’t appreciated, it’s not the case in Lacey,” said Committeeman Peter Curatolo. Quinn said DiBella will have “big shoes to fill,” referencing Paprota, who ushered in an era of modern policing, social media savvy and a proactive approach to policing

By Chris Christopher BARNEGAT – Left-hander Jason Groome, the former Barnegat High School standout, has agreed to a $3.65 million signing bonus with the Boston Red Sox pending a physical he took July 14 in Boston, a baseball source told BostonHerald.com. Groome, a recent graduate who starred for the Bengals during the spring, and all 2016 draft picks faced a signing deadline

as Lacey battled a heroin epidemic that has affected all of Ocean County. As chief, Paprota began intensely tackling property crime, reducing burglaries by nearly two-thirds, and frequently published the department’s accomplishment on its website and social media pages. Community policing – especially to the extent

Cape May Town Gifts Siren To Surf City By Daniel Nee SURF CITY – Members of Surf City’s volunteer fire department were devastated when the company’s siren unexpected quit this spring. In the beach community, officials said, the old-fashioned method of summoning firefighters is more important elsewhere since members could be on the beach, out on the bay or working outdoors when duty calls. The department hasn’t missed a beat, with members relying on modern paging equipment to notify them of calls, but for the past month, planning has been taking place behind the scenes to figure out how to pay the $15,000 bill a replacement siren

July 23, 2016

The fire department has announced that the fire company in Marmora, a community within Upper Township, Cape May County, heard about Surf City’s plight and decided to donate their siren, which is no longer used, to the company. “Several of our firefighters traveled to their firehouse recently to pick up the used siren, and we are now currently in the process of grinding off a little bit of rust, repainting, and checking its electrical components,” said Chief Michael Wolfschmidt. Before the department acquired the siren from Marmora, it had set up a fund where generous citizens could donate to (Siren - See Page 18)

Boats Save 1.3M Gallons Of Sewage Around Bay

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – In the more than 10 years since the fleet began its rounds, government-sponsored pumpout boats have offloaded 1.3 million gallons of raw sewage from 64,868 boats in Barnegat Bay. Going into the 2016 season, the county has seven pumpout boats with the addition of “The Pollution Solution” boat. The other six pumpout boats that operate on Barnegat Bay: Brick Township maintains the “Bay Defender” and the “Bay Saver,” that serve northern Barnegat Bay; Seaside (Sewage - See Page 15)

Amid Warnings, Locals Leveling Up With Pokémon Go

By Shawn Smith OCEAN COUNTY – Around midnight, the streets which are usually quiet are bustling with teens and young adults staring at their phones. Suddenly, someone cries out, “There’s a Ninetails over by Wells Fargo!” The mass of trainers rush around the corner and out of sight, except for a few who have brought lawn chairs and set themselves up in front of the Toms River Fire Department on Robbins Street. Chances are that even if you live under a rock, you’ve heard of the newest Pokémon game (because people have probably lifted the rock looking for one of the digital creatures). Pokémon Go is the newest craze, and within the short amount of time since its release just earlier this month, it has threatened to overtake Twitter with its number of daily users. It’s sent hundreds of locals out on walks to spots such as parks, businesses and other landmarks. And police and business owners are noticing the uptick in pedestrian traffic, at all hours. The game uses “augmented reality,” in which Google Maps overlays with the game map that players use, and geolocates like a GPS does. As users play, they have to move in the real world to move their character in the game. Places like parks, monuments and churches serve as locations in the game where trainers can get supplies, or battle their Pokémon. While the game’s popularity has exploded, issues surrounding it have also emerged,

with national news reporting incidents from drivers getting into accidents while playing, to three women finding a dead body in a park. Townships such as Lacey have issued statements to the public, warning of the dangers of using a smart phone and disregarding your surroundings. The game also greets users with a warning to be aware of their surroundings while they play. “The Lacey Township Police Department is advising residents playing this game to please be alert at all times, and stay aware of their surroundings to avoid potential problems while playing the game,” according to the press release. “Additional safety tips include, not driving or utilizing a bicycle, skateboard, or other devices while interacting with the app as you won’t be able to do both safely. Furthermore, be cautious not to trespass on private property or areas you normally wouldn’t, if you weren’t playing the game.” Parents are not the only ones benefitting from the game getting their children out of the house, some local businesses are also seeing an increase of customers because of the locations of the “gyms” and “pokéstops” in the game. Some businesses, such as Quaker Steak and Lube in Brick actually are a pokéstop themselves, despite the actual stop being the NASCAR on the roof of the building, but the restaurant said it has not seen an increase of patrons after the game was released. “I don’t follow the Pokémon trend, so I don’t know if I just didn’t notice,” a manager who asked not to be named said on Monday. “I

haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary.” Another local “hot spot” also reported that they have not seen a noticeable difference in patrons, despite the extreme popularity of the game. Tori Ben, mother of the owner of Uncle Doods Donuts, another business that has become a pokéstop, said the shop has not seen a noticeable difference in patrons, largely due to the hours of the business. “We’ve had a few extra people, but the hours they are wandering around, we’re not open,” Ben said. “We close at 1 p.m., there’s been a lot of traffic after 1, and before we open [at 6:30 a.m.].” Police, the media and the game itself cannot stress enough that players always be aware of their surroundings, as Howell Police Chief Andrew Kudrick issued a message on the craze on the department’s Facebook page. “The latest Pokémon Go game has become widely popular amongst kids and adults (yes, adults). Although, the game in itself is harmless, the activity associated with it has raised credible concerns with police departments and the public,” Kudrick wrote. “Over the past few days, the Howell Police Department has received numerous calls reporting suspicious activity/persons throughout the township. This includes our former municipal building directly behind police headquarters. Officers have reported watching multiple cars pulling into closed businesses and persons walking along the shoulder of Route 9 while looking down at their phones.” The problem could be one of trespassing,

he said. “Participants are trespassing on private property and are going into places they shouldn’t be. The activity associated with this game causes our officers to be distracted from their normal, legitimate patrol duties. More importantly, the potential for someone getting hurt or involved in a bad situation participating in this game is an almost certainty,” said the police chief. Ultimately, the call was for good judgment: “During this time of heightened awareness and security of our officers and government facilities along with the “see something, say something” campaign, participants must be responsible in participating in this game,” Kudrick said. “If you chose to participate, use good judgment. Don’t annoy the general public and the police. Stay off other people’s property and don’t engage in odd behavior that going to make people suspicious. Better yet, delete the game off your phones, head over to one of our local parks and play a good ‘ole game of kick ball.” At the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, a statement was issued to military personnel about cellphone usage while in uniform, saying those trainers should wait until off duty before attempting to catch Pokémon. “For our community members playing near the installation -- there are several Pokémon hugging our security borders,” the Facebook post said. “Unfortunately, catching Pokémon is not an accepted answer when being detained by Security Forces.” As for that Ninetails? Turned out to be just another Pidgey.

C ommentary

Featured Letter Task Force Against Elder Abuse Needed Thank you Governor Christie and members of the legislat u re for signing Bill #S157 to create the New Jersey Task Force on Abuse Against the Elderly and Disabled. The impact of abusive practices is f inancially and emotionally devastating to our loved ones who are victimized. There is also a tremendous burden on the judicial and social services systems to rectify the injustices from such crimes although vast numbers of such crimes go unprosecuted. AARP concurs that the resources and experiences of a multi-disciplinary task force could develop policy proposals to save lives and livelihoods. Bipartisan policy-making task forces are a proven strategy for the successful development of useful laws and regulations. For example, this approach was successf ul i n i n it iat ives related to developing effective legislation re-

garding powers of attorney and guardianship jurisdiction. Unbiased, informed stakeholders prov ide valu able i nsights that can produce r e a l i s t ic, a c t ion a ble policy proposals. This new law provides an opportunity to develop the measures we need; to strengthen the investigation and enforcement capabilities of the Office of Adult Protective Services; to alert financial institutions’ i nvest igat ive agencies; to shine a light on potential instances of abuse and neglect based on warning signs; and to develop stricter safeguards that prevent fam ily members and caretakers from exploiting elders. A A R P New Jersey looks forward to participating in this task force. We are confident that the results will improve the lives of New Jersey senior and their families. Dave Mollen State President AARP New Jersey

Brexit Thoughts W ho’d have thoug ht, we’d find England voting on its independence from the European Union. Just think, a few hundred years ago, America became its own country by separating itself from what country - why England of course! Yes, there will be economic down’s for a while; however, upon ref lection, there will always be periods of unsettled financial times. A big decline may loom in all of our financial f ut u res but at t he end of the day, we wish t he Br it s well i n t hei r decision. Think about it, this may be the beginning of other countries doing the very same thing. Many people are dishear tened about how things are going for

them in ever y way and thus a disruptive world. Let’s get our priorities right folks and allow history to happen. May God bless us one and all. Bette Kooreman Whiting

What It Takes To Be an Effective Citizen It’s so easy in a presidential election year to forget that our system is not about a single person. This year especially, when the dynamics of the presidential contest have dominated news coverage so thoroughly, the cr ucial role that citizens play — apart from serving as voters in the presidential drama — isn’t even an afterthought. Yet effective citizenship is the base on which our representative democracy rests. I believe it’s made up of several elements. First, a confident belief that change is possible — that the country can indeed make progress over time thanks to the efforts both of ordinary people and of political leaders. Yes, we’ve got miles to go on many fronts, but on the whole, our system is working better for more people than it did a few decades ago. The people who helped make this happen understood t wo t h i ngs: t hat prog ress was possible, and that it required their efforts. Those who were most effective had an im-

pact because they had the skills to make a difference. I’m talking here about the fundamental ability we should all have as citizens to solve problems i n a representative democracy. This means knowing how to work together with all kinds of people, being able to find common ground, building consensus, and communicating ideas effectively. I use the word “skills,” but in the end, good citizenship is as much about temperament as it is about ability. Mutual respect, tolerance, empathy, civility, humility, honesty, resolve — these are the simple vir t ues that our nation depends on in its citizens. So is a willingness to step up to challenges. The people who make a difference in our system are the ones who not only identify a problem, but then plunge into fixing it. There’s a final quality that makes for effective citizenship, and it’s a tough one: mostly, we’re not going to solve our challenges in a single generation. So we have to educate ou r child ren and those who come after us in the skill sets I’ve been talking about. That’s because all of us — you, me, and our fellow citizens — are responsible for the future of our neighborhoods and our nation. Unless we all shoulder the obligation to learn the skills we need to shepherd it into the future, and then teach those skills

to others, our country and our system will struggle. Lee Hamilton Former Rep., U.S. House of Representatives

Keep SSN Private Many small-minded people who work inside of New Jersey’s K-12 education system mislead parents of children registering for school, by claiming that they are required documents to register a child in school. State law says a school district is required to register any student of school age who says they live within the district. Even if the child and parent lack any form of ID or other off icial documentation, the ch ild st ill must be registered and allowed to attend school. Districts must admit the student and then the parent may provide whatever documents they can get together. It is the “totality” of those documents that can prove residency. For example, a bi r t h certificate and a piece of mail would more than be sufficient ID under the law. To protect your child from identity theft, you should never provide a social security number to a school district or your driver’s license. They have no legitimate use for this information. A K-12 school is not the IRS, an employer, or a bank. How dare they demand a SSN? Eric Hafner Toms River

Make Yourself Heard

And no doubt you have something to say about them. So what can you do to ensure that your voice gets heard? First and foremost, town cou ncil meetings. Let

your officials know you’re watching. You can also write letters to the editor to papers like ours. People follow their local papers and by writing about important issues, you spark vital discussion on topics that affect your life. Don’t allow yours to be a lone voice in the wilderness. Make yourself heard.

Spotlight On Government From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: Legislators Fight For Hospital Reimbursements

Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – Congressman Tom MacArthur (NJ-03), Congressman John Carney (DE-At Large) and Congressman Bill Pascrell (NJ-09) announced legislation to help community hospitals receive important reimbursements. The Fairness for Our Hospitals Act will play a critical role to assist rural hospitals, like Deborah Heart and Lung

Center in Browns Mills and Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in Seaford, DE, by closing an unfair loophole in federal law which prevents rural hospitals in small states from receiving vital funding from the Medicare Dependent Hospital Program (MDH). This serious problem prompted a par tnership bet we e n Cong re ssm a n MacArthur, Congressman Carney and Congressman Pascrell. Both hospitals are excluded from a program that benefits rural hospitals that serve high rates of Medicare dependent patients. In most cases, hospi-

tals can apply for the MDH, and if they meet a variety of qualifications they receive funding from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This program allows hospitals to remain open and functional despite losing money on higher than average numbers of Medicare patients. Unfortunately, CMS considers New Jersey and Delaware “all-urban” states and disqualifies them from applying for the MDH program on a technicality. Both Deborah and Nanticoke meet the MDH eligibility criteria in every other respect, and both are situated

in regions that are considered rural by every other metric. This legislation will allow rural hospitals to continue serving the medical needs of thousands of Americans located in rural areas. “The quality care Deborah provides for our residents is among the best in the nation, and they have managed to do this despite not being fairly paid by CMS for serving higher numbers of Medicare patients in South Jersey,” said Congressman MacArthur. “This unjust loophole has allowed Deborah to fall through the cracks and they deserve the assistance this program would provide.

Thank you to Congressman Carney and Congressman Pascrell for partnering on this legislation to provide relief for our rural hospitals.” “Hospitals shouldn’t be pu n ishe d ju st be cau se they’re located in a small state,” said Congressman Carney. “That’s why I’m proud to join Congressman MacArthur in introducing the Fairness to our Hospitals Act.” “As New Jersey’s only member on the House Committee on Ways and Means, which has primarily jurisdiction over Medicare, I am proud to introduce the Fairness for Our Hospitals

Act with my friend Rep. MacArthur,” said Congressman Pascrell. “We have been working together to get CMS to apply the law correctly and ensure that Deborah is treated fairly for the purposes of Medicare payment given its unique classification.” “Deborah is thankful that our representatives have championed our cause,” said Joseph Chirichella, Deborah President and CEO. “Taking action to right this wrong will help Deborah continue to care for the large number of Medicare patients that come to us from our surrounding rural area.”

OC Finds Ways To Keep Ocean Ride Moving Ahead OCEAN COUNTY – A continual downward slide in the state grant funding used to operate Ocean Ride has resulted in key changes to Ocean County’s public transportation system so it can continue to provide essential ridership services in particular to the elderly and the disabled. “Let me assure you that we are committed to maintaining a high quality transportation system and we will continue to seek creative ways to sustain it, while holding down costs and managing the anticipated future reductions in the Casino grant,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Transportation Services Department, during a public hearing on the state grant application. Ocean County will apply to NJ Transit for continued funding under the Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance program, which revenues are derived from casino revenues. NJ Transit notified Ocean County the anticipated grant amount for fiscal year 2017 is $1,307,858, a decrease of

$97,103. “The grant represents a major resource in terms of the county’s overall transportation budget accounting for 33 percent of the annual budget,” said David L. Fitzgerald, director of the Ocean County Transportation Department. Haines noted the county’s contribution for the service accounts for roughly $2.9 million, which represents more than 53 percent of Ocean Ride’s total budget. Fitzgerald said casino funds used to support Ocean Ride peaked in 2008 and since that time Ocean County has lost about $1.5 million in annual awards, going from $2.8 million to approximately $1.3 million. “This has resulted in us thoroughly reviewing all aspects of this service,” Haines said. “And the Ocean Ride staff has developed smart strategies to keep this transportation system functioning so it continues to be beneficial to our residents.” Haines said that following a thorough review of the proposed 2017 grant funding with Fitzgerald, Ocean County Administrator Carl Block and Chief Financial Officer Julie Tarrant a

spending plan that would avoid reductions in services next year was developed. The review resulted in reducing the employee fringe benefit rate to 40 percent, a 24 percent reduction. “This rate reduction of more than a third of the full rate translates into a $200,000 savings under the salary and wage portion of the grant budget,” Haines said. “This fringe rate reduction will allow the transportation department to cover all 2017 projected existing personnel and services, freeing up operating money for other line items such as bus repair and maintenance and will actually help fund the purchase of two new minibuses.” Grant funds cover a portion of the operational expenses, repairs and maintenance, minigrant program, reserve a ride program, fixed bus service, veterans’ transportation and other services of Ocean Ride. In an effort to maximize its funding, Ocean County has made important upgrades to its transportation software system, including new on board tablets in the vehicles making it more efficient for drivers and more helpful

for its ridership. In addition the department continues to monitor all service levels for efficiencies. Speakers at the June 16 public hearing offered their praise for Ocean Ride noting that it made a difference in the lives of many seniors and the disabled living in Ocean County. Linwood McWilliams of Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey said the services provided were appreciated by the Caregiver Organizations. “It’s nice to have a service we can rely on for our seniors,” he said. Walter Preston, who serves

as vice chairman of the Ocean County Transportation Advisory Committee for Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities, highlighted the importance of partnerships which help make Ocean Ride successful. “With the support of the Board of Freeholders, the Advisory Committee and the Ocean Ride staff we are all working together to do what is best for the people of Ocean County,” Preston said. Don Lippincott Jr., of Community Services Inc., the county’s nutrition program provider called Ocean Ride

“an absolute lifesaver.” “The seniors who are homebound depend on you for doctor’s visits and the opportunity to just get out of the house for a little while,” he said. “You’re doing a great job.” In 2015, Ocean Ride provided 313,167 trips. “It’s important we work to minimize the negative effects reduced casino funding has on Ocean County’s transportation system,” Haines said. “Our Ocean Ride staff works to make certain we are providing the best service possible within the current constraints of a shrinking budget.”

Street Smart NJ Launches Safety Campaign

HARVEY CEDARS – Street Smart NJ launched its pedestrian safety campaign on Long Beach Island on June 29 on Long Beach Island. A press conference was held in the gazebo at Sunset Park on W. Salem Avenue. Following the press conference, there was a local law enforcement demonstration at the intersection of W. Salem Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard. Police officers demonstrated positive reinforcement efforts by rewarding pedestrians and motorists who obeyed traffic laws. A street team also demonstrated how the campaign educates motorists and pedestrians. Street Smart NJ also had a brother of a pe-

destrian-vehicle crash victim speak about his family’s loss. Street Smart NJ continues to grow. In addition to the shore campaign, 11 partner communities participated in Street Smart NJ in March – Elizabeth, Franklin (Sussex County), Hackettstown, Jersey City, Lakewood, Metuchen, Newark, Passaic, Red Bank, Toms River and Woodbridge. Street Smart NJ puts together these campaigns because New Jersey’s pedestrian fatality rate is nearly double the national average. Pedestrian deaths account for 25.6 percent of all crash-related fatalities from 2010-2014, well above the national average of 14 percent.

SURF CITY – The Surf City Police Department, as well as members from Surf City Fire Department/EMS and lifeguards from the Surf City Beach Patrol, took part in the rescue of a boy who became trapped in the sand on the beach after digging a deep hole last year. On July 1, the first responders were able to meet

with the boy and his family. The boy has made a full recovery after months of specialized care at the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania. The police department warned that the sand on the beach can be unstable and digging deep holes is dangerous and prohibited.

Be Cautious Of Soliciting Contractors

BARNEGAT – The Barnegat police department has received information that out-of-state contractors have been going door to door advising homeowners that their roof needs replacing due to the recent hail storm. This is most likely not the case. Use caution when hiring any contractors who attempt to solicit work door to door or off Craigslist. Make sure the contractor is NJ State Licensed and has a permit to solicit within Barnegat Township. Barnegat officers have located and identified the unauthorized contractors going door to

door through developments. There may still be additional companies who may attempt to solicit without a permit. The Barnegat police department is asking that the public only contact the department regarding these contractors if solicited again in the future. The police do not want the public to call the department about past solicitations unless they were victim of a crime as a result of it, such as being scammed out of money.

SMOKING’S EFFECT SIMILAR TO GLAUCOMA

As if anyone needed another reason to give up the smoking habit, new research suggests that smoking damages the eyes in a way that resembles the effects of the early stages of glaucoma. In particular, researchers focused on smoking’s effect on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), which collects visual impulses from “photoreceptors” (light-sensitive cells known as “rods” and “cones”) and ganglion cells in the retina and transmits these impulses to the optic nerve. The RNFL of smokers who had smoked at least one pack of cigarettes a day for more than ten years was significantly thinner than that of non-smokers. This thinning is related to blind spots in the visual field, loss of peripheral vision, and even blindness. This informative column about the effects that smoking has on eye health has been brought to you by SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. in the interest of better eye care. We pride ourselves on our specialty training and keeping up to date on the changes in medical care. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 732-349-5622.

Manahawkin Bay Bridge Shuttle Bus Resumes Route

STAFFORD – The Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridge shuttle bus has resumed providing pedestrians and cyclists the ability to cross the bridge. During construction of the Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridges Project, the sidewalk that connects the mainland to Long Beach Island will be closed to bicyclists and pedestrians. To accommodate those wishing to go to LBI, the free shuttle bus runs from Morris Boulevard with a stop in the Eastbound direction at third Street in Stafford, the shuttle bus then returns in the westbound direction stopping at the Dutchman’s Brauhaus restaurant and East Bay Avenue immediately after the bridge crossing. This temporary alternative will operate seven days a week while the sidewalk is closed. Work on the $350 million Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridge project began in 2013 and is expected to continue through 2020. The three-mile long causeway links Stafford on the mainland with Ship Bottom on Long Beach Island, but is structurally deficient and functionally obsolete after 57 years in existence. A new bridge has been constructed parallel to the existing one over Manahawkin Bay, providing the safety of a redundant route on or off the island in the event that one of the bridges needs to be closed. This design is consistent with Christie Administration

objectives to build in strength or redundancy to better withstand future storms. The existing causeway sustained relatively minor damage during Super Storm Sandy, but storm damage is a concern especially because it provides the only way for motor vehicles to enter or exit Long Beach Island. The new bridge is 2,400 feet long with a vertical clearance of 55 feet over Manahawkin Bay. Ultimately, it will function as the bridge for eastbound traffic once the project is completed. This sequence was designed to preserve the current two travel lanes in each direction during busy summer seasons from mid-May to mid-September during daytime hours and weekends. The contractor is allowed single-lane closures overnight and during the off-season, but one lane will always be maintained in each direction. Construction of the new span was completed in May and the existing Bay Bridge, which is structurally deficient and functionally obsolete, was closed for rehabilitation. Upon completion of the rehabilitation work, it will serve as the bridge for westbound traffic. The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website 511nj.org for construction updates and real-time travel information.

Bass River State Forest Hosts “Magical Monarch Butter�lies”

BASS RIVER – Bass River State Forest’s “Lectures at the Lake” series continues on July 23 at 7:30 p.m. with a free program on the monarch butterflies.

Lenahan has traveled with the Monarch Teacher Network to Michoacan, Mexico in 2009 to witness the overwintering colonies of

monarch butterflies. She is a volunteer master naturalist at the Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge and a volunteer trainer with the Monarch Teacher Network at the Education Information and Resource Center at Rowan University. Insect repellent, a flashlight and something to sit on is recommended. The Lake Absegami beach breezeway is ADA accessible. The program is free, but donations to the presenter are welcome.

You have all demonstrated academic excellence, drive and determination – you are the future of cutting edge technology and science in New Jersey. You should all be proud of your achievements, best of luck as you pursue your careers in this rapidly evolving field.”

OCEAN COUNTY – Candidates seeking school board seats have until 4 p.m. on July 25 to file their nominating petitions at the Ocean County Clerk’s Office in order to have their name placed on the November 8 General Election Ballot, according to Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella. Nominating petitions for School Board can be obtained in person at either the Ocean County Clerk’s Main Office, at the Ocean County Courthouse, Election Services, Room 107 at 118 Washington St., Toms River, or at the Ocean County Southern Service Center, 179 South Main St., Manahawkin. The offices are staffed from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. “The Ocean County Clerk’s Office makes every effort to inform potential candidates of approaching filing deadlines,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the County Clerk. “Through the office’s website, social media and other avenues, County Clerk Colabella provides the information needed by both candidates and voters.”

Colabella noted that all Ocean County school districts now hold their Board of Education elections in November. “A law signed by the governor in 2014 moved the petition filing deadline for school board candidates from June to the last Monday in July to provide candidates with more time to submit their petitions,” Colabella said. A total of 70 school board seats will appear on the November ballot in various school districts throughout Ocean County. A complete listing of all candidates who file petitions for school board will be available shortly after the July 25 deadline at oceancountyclerk.com or facebook.com/ oceancountyclerk. School board candidates seeking additional information on the petition filing process can contact the Ocean County Clerk’s Election Office at 732-929-2153. “It’s important for candidates to get their paperwork in on time,” Colabella said. “That is what guarantees their place on the ballot.”

Sewage:

Continued From Page 1

Park maintains the “Circle of Life” and the “Water Warrior,” that serve the central bay; and Tuckerton Seaport maintains the “Waste Watcher” and the “Bay Sweeper” that serve the southern end of the bay. Since the program started in 1997 with the “Circle of Life,” until the end of 2015, the combined fleet has offloaded a total of 1,304,391 gallons of raw sewage from 64,868 boats. In 2003 Barnegat Bay and Little Egg Harbor Bay were federally designated as no-discharge zones, making the release of raw or treated effluent illegal within three miles of the coast. In the mid 1990s the state began to participate in the federal Clean Vessel Act Program which uses federal grants to fund 75 percent of the cost to install pumpout stations, which supplement the pumpout boats along New Jersey’s coastal waters. In Brick, the addition of a second pumpout boat in 2014 doubles the amount of raw sewage from boat holding tanks that can be kept out of northern Barnegat Bay, and since Brick got its fi rst pumpout boat in 2003 until the end of 2015, the two boats combined have offloaded 413,525 gallons from 17,948 boats. In a shared services agreement, Brick Township maintains the boats and the county provides up to $20,000 annually per boat for operational and administrative expenses. The county purchased the boats with Clean Vessel Act Program grant

money (except for “Circle of Life” which was purchased by Seaside Park). The county also partners with other organizations, including the Ocean County Utilities Authority, which contributes about half the operating costs annually. Brick resident Captain Harry Thorne, 74, is the original operator of the “Bay Defender,” and after 14 years he is now the fleet’s most senior pumpout boat operator. “The program is great--there are thousands and thousands of gallons we’re keeping out of the bay. I can see the difference in the quality of the water from when I started until now,” said Thorne, who served as a Bergen County police officer for 40 years. The Brick boats are docked at Trader’s Cove Marina and operate from Friday through Monday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. starting Memorial Day and ending in October. Thorne said that he and the “Bay Defender” Captain Mario Riccio, or relief Captain Richard Christen start their day on Fridays by checking their cell phone messages and planning their day. Fridays and Mondays aren’t as busy as the weekend so the men check popular mooring and anchor areas like F-Cove, or they might do bigger jobs, such as empty the holding tanks from houseboats. Thorne’s boat, the “Bay Defender” can hold up to 420 gallons. With some houseboats having holding tanks of up to 200 gallons, owners are encouraged to set up a pumpout schedule in advance, he said. He estimates that they service about 10

houseboats in Brick. When the weather is good, weekends are very busy and the pumpout boats are off-loading waste from holding tanks and portable toilets nearly nonstop, Thorne said. One of the hazards of the job is a ruptured hose or a clogged line, which Thorne said could be “an ugly mess” to clean up. “Most boat owners know what you can flush and what you can’t, but visitors don’t always know what’s flushable, and that can play havoc with our pumps,” Thorne said. The pumpout boats empty their holding tanks into the municipal sewer system at pumpout stations located at Trader’s Cove Marina, or other privately-owned marinas like Johnson Brothers, Comstock, and Shore Haven, who receive a $500 stipend from the county if they apply for it, he said. “Sometimes we have to fish things out from our tank, and that’s really horrible,

it’s not something you want to know about,” he said. Thorne said he wishes more people would adhere to the no-discharge laws. One morning Thorne pulled his pumpout boat into Beaton Brothers marina and a sailboat “right in front of me” was discharging their sewage into the bay. “I told (marina owner) Tommy Beaton, and he threw him out,” he recalled. “Some people think it’s okay to dump it in the bay. I wish I had enforcement power, but I would have to sign a complaint and go to court...I’m not an enforcement officer,” Thorne said. The pumpout boats can be contacted on Marine VHF radio channel 9 or by calling the captains directly on dedicated cell phones: the Bay Saver can be reached at 732 779-5876, and the Bay Defender can be reached at 732 644-4124. The pumpout service is provided free of charge.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Does Hearing Really Effect My Golf Game? Golf Digest conducted two tests that prove hearing’s link to the golf links. Depicted below are a summary of the results: From 150 Yards In: 10 golfers with handicaps between 4 and 16 hit 18 balls each to a green 150 yards away with and without earmuffs: Without earmuffs, the group hit the green 67 percent of the time. With earmuffs, the group hit the green only 53 percent of the time. Judging Your Putts: 10 golfers with handicaps between 2 and 17 hit a variety of 48 putts with three identical putters, with and without earmuffs: Without earmuffs, golfers correctly guessed the putts’ outcome (long, short,

just right) 59 percent of the time. With earmuffs, players guessed correctly only 40 percent of the time. Arnold Palmer has been an active wearer of hearing aids for many years. Golf Digest interviewed Mr. Palmer about the benefits of wearing hearing aids when golfing. Mr. Palmer said, “Your eyes are key on the golf course but I can tell you that your ears are equally important to playing good golf.” Thus, if you’re an avid golfer suffering from hearing loss, you may want to have your hearing tested to determine whether hearing aids can be beneficial to you, in particular, helping your golf game and lowering your handicap.

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 TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Specialized Care for the Memory Impaired

5 Lessons Learned From Seniors

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

I used to work in nursing homes where mostly elderly people live, or those who are very sick or terminal. I had a special practitioner license and served as the consultant pharmacist of record for about 11 nursing homes across Florida. Part of my job was to write monthly medical orders to the physicians to discontinue prescribed medications and lower dosages all with one goal: Make the resident (the patient) feel their best. Some things stuck with me and now I will share: I learned not to assume. – Some old people smiled at me, and some cried a lot. You might assume the smiley ones had less depression and pain, while the crying folks were the sad, depressed ones. Never assume. The smiley people may just be pushing harder, and those who are crying may be in horrific pain (not depressed). Crying is sometimes the only way you can speak when your mouth can’t explain how desperate you are in your body. I learned to send “love” in the mail. – I noticed that people who had friends or family visit them during the week required less medicine (and lower doses) than those residents who spent every day alone. If you can’t be physically present, then mail something. I have often been miles apart from my children and elderly parents, but to this day I still send little gifts or cards in the mail reminding them that I love them even though we are far apart.

I learned respect and compassion. – The elderly have lost control of many things including their bladder function, their ability to walk, their home, car, their vision, their children and sometimes their mind. We need to remember that every time an old person is on our way, walking too slow, taking too long… you know once upon a time they were just like you. They had it all, they were happy, on top of the world and excited about tomorrow. People used to ask for their advice, now they are invisible. I always show respect and compassion. I learned to say yes. – Saying no to things is easy because there’s always tomorrow. Is there? After working in facilities and seeing some people (even young ones who were there due to accidents) I learned that life is short, you do not have forever. Stop waiting for a better time or 20 years will f ly by. Say yes and do it. Live your life before your life is lived. I lear ned how little things make people happy. – Like painting their nails in the activity room, giving them $5 to spend, or brushing their hair or holding their hand and telling them everything’s going to be alright (even on their deathbed as they were nearing their last breath). Show up with love in your heart and even if you’re just sitting there to keep them company, do it with full attention. Stay home if you can’t come to them with a happy heart. They feel you – don’t ask me how I know.

of 5 p.m. July 15. Groome was selected 12th on the first round by the Red Sox. Had the Red Sox failed to reach an agreement with Groome by the deadline, they would have received a compensatory pick in next year’s draft. Once considered the top prospect in the June draft by Baseball America, Groome saw his stock decline because of maturity, makeup issues and high financial demands. He had demanded a $4 million signing bonus. The 12th pick is valued at $3,192,800. The first selection is worth $9,015,000. The Red Sox were allotted $6,997,400 for draft signing bonuses in 2016. Each selection in the top 10 rounds is assigned a dollar value, and the total dollar value is the team’s allot-

ment. The Red Sox can additionally spend up to five percent of their allotment without losing draft picks, putting another $349,870 potentially in play. That would bring the total money available to $7,347,270. The 6-foot-5 Groome entered July 14 as the second-highest remaining unsigned pick in the draft for any team. He has drawn early comparisons to Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw. Groome’s fastball has been clocked as high as 97 mph. His curveball contains 11-to-5 movement. Groome, 17, pitches with polish and an easy, repeatable delivery. Possible minor-league destinations this season for Groome are the Greenville (S.C.) Drive of the South Atlantic League, a low Class A circuit; the Lowell (Mass.) Spinners of the New York-Penn League, a short-season Class A loop, and the Gulf Coast League Red Sox at the rookie level

“We will use these proceeds towards the installation costs needed to raise, attach, and electrically connect the siren, as well as remove the old one,” said Wolfschmidt. “We plan to also use any leftover funds to help maintain our siren each year to help prolong its life.”

in Florida. The 225-pound Groome pitched his freshman, sophomore and senior seasons at Barnegat and his junior year at the IMG Academy in Florida. He struck out 90 and walked 14 this spring for the Bengals and posted a 0.77 earned run average, allowing 15 hits and 10 runs -- only five of which were earned. He went 1-3. He had two wins and a 19-strikeout, no-hitter against Central Regional stripped when he was declared ineligible by the NJSIAA in late April for violation of its transfer rule. Groome, whose fastball was clocked at 97 mph last summer when he overpowered some of the best hitters in the nation, never got above 94 mph this spring. He has what most scouts call “one of the best curveballs in the country” and a formidable changeup. As a sophomore, Groome went 6-2 with a 0.57 ERA in 61 1/3 innings. At IMG, he

was 5-0 with a 1.22 ERA and 81 strikeouts and nine walks in 43 innings. Prior to the draft, Groome worked out for the Philadelphia Phillies, who had the first pick. He had committed to attend Vanderbilt University on a baseball scholarship. Prior to the draft, he opted to attend Chipola College, a Florida junior college. Groome is a Red Sox fan. Boston is managed by John Farrell, a Shore Regional graduate. Ex-Christian Brothers Academy and Monmouth University pitcher Pat Light made his major-league debut with Boston earlier this season. Groome could not be reached for comment Thursday night by micromediapublications. com and the Southern Ocean Times. Barnegat athletics director John Germano said on Twitter, “Congratulations to Jason Groome. He is officially a Red Sox now ... great job.”

Inside The Law

My Helpful Remedies

Dear Readers, Although most of the column is usually dedicated to advice, sometimes I run across material that I think is worth sharing. I loved the following helpful remedies. Burned Fingertips: Should you accidentally get a minor burn on your fingertips, simply hold your fingertip to your ear lobe. Place your thumb on the back of your ear and the burned fingertip on the front. It is supposed to work like magic. Motion Sickness: With all the travel plans coming up some people are bound to suffer episodes of motion sickness. This may sound nutty but try this: Pull out the skin in the middle of your inner wrist about one inch from

you r pal m. Keep pulling and pinching wh i le a lt e rnating wrists. You will be amazed at the results. Tension Headaches: Tense all the muscles in your face and neck, jaw, scalp and shoulders. Hold that “pose” for about 30 seconds. Then, suddenly relax completely, letting go of all the tension, and your headache will be gone along with it. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Police Of�icers Receive Recognition For DWI Enforcement OCEAN COUNTY – Several Ocean County Police Officers were recognized at the BlueClaws pregame ceremony at First Energy Park on June 18 for their efforts with regard to drunk driving enforcement. Among the nominees for this year’s Jason Marles 271 DWI Award was Jackson Police Officer Michael Kelly. Officer Kelly has consistently been one of the department’s leaders in drunk and drugged driving arrests, and serves as one of Jackson’s certified Drug Recognition Experts (D.R.E.). Officer Kelly also serves as an instructor for New Jersey’s statewide D.R.E. program. Over the past year, Officer Kelly and Officer Mark Rodina were instrumental in developing in-service training for Jackson officers in order to become more effective at DWI recognition, enforcement and documentation.

Patrolman Marc Povlosky of the Stafford Township Police Department was this year’s DWI award recipient. In 2015 alone, Patrolman Povlosky accrued 29 DWI arrests. Also nominated were Christopher Linnell, Seaside Heights Police Department; Dimitri Tsarnas, Lacey Township Police Department and Patrick Mabie, Manchester Police Department. This annual award is named in honor of Ocean Gate Police Officer Jason Marles. During the pre-dawn hours of Thanksgiving, 2010, while driving home from work, Officer Marles was killed by a drunk driver on the Garden State Parkway in Toms River. Officer Marles had just completed a drunk driving enforcement detail prior to leaving work. The Ocean County Police Traffic Safety Officers’ Association honors Officer Marles’ memory each year with this award.

Previous articles reviewed the land use application submission and presentation process; this article will review what is required to be performed after an approval is obtained. The memorialized approval is placed in written form called a Resolution. Part of the Resolution outlines the Condition of Approval, which acts as a checklist of the items that must be submitted to zoning and engineering prior to obtaining construction permits. Satisfying those conditions is called Resolution Compliance. Once an applicant receives the Resolution of approval, the first requirement is to prepare and publish a Notice of Decision. This provides a general notice in the official newspaper as to the details of the approval received. Proof of this publication must be provided to the board secretary. Contained within the Resolution may also be requirements for various legal documents. Examples of these documents are: Lot Consolidation Deeds, which consolidate various lots owned by the applicant under one lot number; Cross-Access Agreements, which will allow neighboring businesses or residents to utilize a common driveway or parking area; and Easements, which earmark certain portions of the property for access by other agencies to maintain or service utility structures or equipment which may be on the property, or may identify portions of the property that are to be undeveloped to preserve the environment or ensure visibility at an intersection. Of course, this is not a comprehensive list, and what is required depends on the specific reliefs granted in the applicant’s approval. What is consistent throughout the process is that these are legal docu-

ments requiring the attachment of legal descriptions and reduced Marc S. Galella Esq. plans, requiring review and approval of the Board professionals and, in some cases, the documents must be recorded with the County Clerk. Certainly, the preparation of these documents is best performed by a qualified land use attorney. Additionally, the Resolution may require plan revisions, payment of additional fees and escrows and approvals from outside agencies. Those agencies may be other local agencies, such as local sewerage, utility and municipal authorities; County agencies, such as Planning Board and Soil Conservation; and/or state agencies, such as NJDOT and NJDEP. Again, each applicant requires a combination of varying approvals. This office can coordinate the receipt of those approvals and prepare a final submission to the local land use board to successfully complete Resolution Compliance. Receiving Resolution Compliance approval will then allow the applicant to construct their proposed project. As can be seen from the information above, the perfection of a land use application approval before a Land Use Board requires an understanding of the MLUL and legal experience. The attorneys at the Law Office of R.C. Shea and Associates can assist to make this process stress free. Look for future articles on the Land Use Process which will review the components of a resolution and the post-approval compliance procedures.

the beginning of our relationship and so it is only natural that we begin to look at ways to do more for small businesses in Southern Ocean County.” According to Titone, the SAM is designed spur economic development through small business growth, and to improve entrepreneurial education that advances greater access to capital, expanded technical assistance and access to government contracting programs. “The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce is a strong network of dedicated businesses who work together to promote business and to foster a prosperous climate for economic development and business growth in Southern Ocean County,” said Chamber President Andrea Driscoll. “As we celebrate our 102nd Anniversary, this alliance with the SBA only helps us to further and strengthen our mission to bring added value services and programs to our members and the small business community.” “We are looking to the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce for their input on what they believe the small business community’s current needs are and how we can collaborate on addressing those needs through customized training and the use of SBA’s programs and services that can benefit entrepreneurs in the area,” added Titone. To learn more about SBA’s programs and services, contact the U.S. Small Business Administration at 973-645-23434 or visit sba.gov/nj.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JuLY 23-July 29 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Scratch the itch. Your unbridled enthusiasms may lead you to achieve more than you thought possible. You can move forward with important plans without interference or blockages in the week to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make a point to fulfill promises. You must stick to the rules where finances and bill paying is concerned. Your partners and companions might offer some highly imaginative and useful schemes this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Remain receptive and resilient. If you are willing to listen you will hear the truth and be made aware of falsehoods. This isn’t a good week to challenge half-truths but a time to gather useful knowledge and promises. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The clock is ticking. There is no time like the present to make your wishes known. Receive shrewd advice from a partner or join forces to put precious plans into motion. As the week unfolds you grow closer to a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your creative ideas may be well worth pursuing. You may stretch outside your comfort zone to achieve public acclaim in the week ahead. Your closest companions, however, might be sticklers for maintaining the status quo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Follow up on the hustle and bustle in your hedgerow. Much can be accomplished when you are in the mood to enthusiastically carry out plans. Precious moments of shared nostalgia are easy to express later this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A little hard work never hurt anyone. Stick to your plans and ignore a temptation. A money making opportunity seems to be within your grasp this week, but you may be surprised by a sudden change of plan. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actions speak louder than words. By being enthusiastic and upbeat you can charm others and make this week memorable. You shouldn’t count eggs before they hatch, but count on having plenty of them to count. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Key decisions are in your hands in the week to come. It is always best to do something that makes you happy so change your goals accordingly. The weight of one obligation will be lifted from your shoulders. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Bask in a blaze of someone’s warm regard. In the week ahead you will find a good time to make public appearances, to ask for small favors, or to happily lure a romantic partner into your enticing arms. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your love life didn’t come with a user’s manual. You might wish that there was a blueprint or roadmap that could help you handle relationships. In the week ahead you can wisely choose a more rewarding direction. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Reassess important situations. A situation in the week ahead might illuminate ways in which you can improve a key relationship. Value the opinion of a devoted significant other who has your best interests at heart.

Music Teacher To Start New Youth Band Program BARNEGAT – Todd Gagnon, a music teacher in Barnegat, is starting a new program in Ocean County for young band students. He is forming and directing Jersey Coast Youth Bands. The goal is to provide high-quality music instruction in a band rehearsal setting for elementary and middle school students who play a brass, woodwind or percussion instrument. He also plans on holding performances each year at local community events and festivals. The Jersey Coast Youth Bands are two concert bands for Ocean County students in fi fth through eighth grade. The bands are open to any student who has played a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument for at least one year. Students of any skill level are encouraged to join, and there is

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Details, Details: The Little Secrets Of Cooking Skillet-Fried Chicken By Wolfgang Puck

In so many areas of life, you have probably heard some version of the saying that “little things can make a big difference.” That is certainly true in good cooking. You’d be surprised by the number of times guests in my restaurants ask me why a dish tastes so good. They ask, “What’s your secret?” Much of the time, the secrets amount to nothing more than paying attention to small details over and over throughout a recipe. And if you learn what those small details are yourself, and start caring about them in your own kitchen, your friends and family will rightly think you’re an excellent cook. You can see the results in even the simplest, most home-style recipes. And I’d like to offer you a perfect example in a version of a traditional summertime and year-round favorite: skillet-fried chicken. From start to finish, little things in this recipe add up to delicious results. Let’s start with the ingredients themselves. I like to use free-range organic chicken, which may cost a bit more but will taste so much better. Most good supermarket meat departments will cut up a whole chicken into serving pieces for you, or you can buy precut pieces in whatever combination of dark and white meat you prefer. Next, I season the pieces with salt and pepper and marinate them in buttermilk. The slightly acidic milk helps tenderize the meat and makes it juicier, while the simple act of seasoning first keeps the finished results from tasting bland. Speaking of seasonings, I also add them generously to the flour I use to coat the chicken, creating a really eye-opening flavor profile. A little rice flour added to the regular flour helps yield a crispier coating. Successful frying depends on maintaining a hot, steady temperature. That ensures the chicken browns up well, without turning greasy, in the same time it takes for the meat to cook through. I also add a sprig of rosemary to the oil during cooking, which contributes a delicious aroma. And then there’s one last secret. The moment frying is done, I heat up a little honey with a touch of cayenne and drizzle it over the chicken on the serving platter. That adds a wonderful touch of sweet-hot flavor to every bite. I also offer lemon wedges for guests who want some “zestiness” in their own portions. All these little “secrets” seem ordinary on their own. But put them all together and you get extraordinary results. Whether you serve the chicken hot from the skillet or pack it cold for a summertime picnic, everyone who eats it will declare you a genius in the kitchen.

CRISPY SKILLET-FRIED CHICKEN WITH A SPICY HONEY DRIZZLE Serves 4 1 whole organic chicken, 3 to 3 1/4 pounds (about 1.5 kg), cut into 8 large pieces for frying Kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning the chicken 3 cups (750 mL) buttermilk Peanut oil for frying 1 3/4 cups (460 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) rice flour 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon more for glaze 1 teaspoon ground sweet or hot paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon celery salt 2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary 1 or 2 lemons, cut into wedges 1/4 cup (60 mL) honey First, marinate the chicken: Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet. Season on both sides with salt and black pepper. Pour the buttermilk into a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken, cover the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, turning occasionally. Before frying, pour enough peanut oil to reach a depth of 1 inch (2.5 cm) in a heavy large skillet, preferably cast-iron. Heat the oil to 350 to 365 F. (175 C to 185 C) on a deep-frying thermometer. In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the flour, rice flour, white pepper, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder and celery salt. Close the bag and shake to blend. Remove 2 pieces of chicken from the buttermilk, place them in the bag, close the bag, and shake to coat them evenly. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pieces. Carefully add the chicken, skin side down, to the hot oil in the skillet. Fry until deep brown and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes per side depending on size, adjusting the heat to maintain the frying temperature; add the rosemary sprig to the oil, if you like. (A chicken piece will be cooked through if, after removing it from the oil, it registers 165 F/74 C on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat not touching bone.) Using tongs, transfer the cooked chicken to a rack. Arrange the cooked chicken pieces on a napkin-lined platter. Place the lemon wedges around the chicken. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey. Stir in the extra cayenne to taste. Drizzle the honey over the chicken. Serve immediately.
