America’s Got Talent
Manchester Comic Stopped At Quarterfinals
I
By Jennifer Peacock t sounds like one of those jokes about a bar: jugglers, dancers, a contortionist, singer and comedian walked. Five out of 12 contestants were eliminated on the most recent America’s Got Talent quarterfinals held August 23 and 24. Unfortunately, one of them was Manchester’s Julia Scotti. “Thank you all for your support and votes for Julia on AGT this year! Although she didn’t advance it was a fantastic experience and we appreciate every one of you,” Cathy Caldwell, Scotti’s agent, said in Facebook (Comic - See Page 7)
Quick Chek’s Continued Expansion Into Ocean County –Photo courtesy Manchester Schools Students take a practice bus ride at MTES Kindergarten Orientation. The school year begins September 6. By Courtney McCann MANCHESTER – Upperclassmen will join incoming freshman in learning the ropes of a new schedule this year as the Manchester Township School District prepares to launch block scheduling at Manchester Township High School. Manchester Township, which welcomes students in all grade levels back to school beginning September 6, has become one of several school districts in Ocean and Monmouth counties to adopt block scheduling, a method that, according to the school district, studies have shown can help schools reduce tardiness and dropout rates. “As with anything new there’s always a lit-
tle anxiousness,” said Manchester Township Superintendent David Trethaway. “But we
are pretty excited about it.”

FEMA Grant To Fund Ridgeway Firetruck By Catherine Galioto MANCHESTER – Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Department has faced a $20,000 annual cost to maintain an aging pumper, now more than 30 years old. But a $455,910 federal grant to the firehouse will instead allow for the purchase of a new, replacement pumper. The Federal Emergency Management (Firetruck - See Page 7)

By Bob Vosseller and Catherine Galioto With a push to open additional stores in the area, Quick Chek has recently demolished a vacant bank, leveled land and bought out homeowners. The convenience store chain has opened five stores to date in its current fiscal year, bringing the total number of stores to 144, and has three more stores planned for Ocean County. Those sites include the spot of the former Crown bank at Route 70 and Brick Boulevard in Brick, demolished about a month ago. There’s also several parcels along the intersection of Fischer Boulevard, Route 37 and Adams Avenue in Toms River, for a store there. The lots where Quick Chek will go (Expansion - See Page 5)

Rather than taking seven courses over the course of the school year, the high school students will take four, 85-minute classes from September through January and another four from February through June. Class periods will be twice as long, approximately 85 minutes, to allow teachers to go more in depth into their subjects within the timeframe of the semester. Trethaway said that while the new schedule shortens the school day slightly, the time is made up by students not having to travel the hallways for seven different classes throughout the school day. When the possibility of block scheduling was introduced in 2015, there was some opposition from students and community members who felt there wasn’t enough positive data to support the change in schedules, that it would be confusing and potentially make it difficult for students to retain information due to gaps between core courses. On the contrary, Trethaway believes the change will be positive, and said it has already shown several benefits. “We’ve been able to add a number of new
courses, including three new Advanced Placement classes, a business law class, a computer applications class and more electives for students to choose from,” Trethaway said. “And when we finished the schedule we also found that the class sizes are much lower.” To help educate students and parents, and address any concerns about the new schedule, the school provided educational forums for existing high school students as well as additional orientation periods for incoming freshmen. The new bell schedule for the school is also available to download on the school’s website, manchestertwp.org. While block scheduling holds the limelight, there are a few other highlights happening elsewhere in the Manchester Township School District this year: World languages – This year the district is adding a world languages instructor position back into the elementary schools. The position was eliminated several years go due to a reduction in state funding. A change in temperature – As part of a $15.5 million facility improvement project approved in 2014, the district continues its work in upgrading all of the heating and air conditioning units in the school district.
Trethaway expects upgrades in the high school and Ridgeway Elementary School to be completed during this school year. In addition to making the students more comfortable throughout the year, the improvements are expected to assist with moisture control in the buildings and provide some energy saving costs for the district. “It’s not glamorous,” Trethaway joked. “But it will definitely be a big help.” New vice principal – Ridgeway Elementary School is welcoming Kevin Jones as the school’s new full-time vice principal. Previously a single vice principal position
was split between Ridgeway and Manchester Township elementary schools. Trethaway said the addition of Jones and the creation of a full-time vice principal position at each school allows for an added level of supervision of both students and staff in each building. Growth – Trethaway reported that school enrollment remains consistent with the 2015-2016 school year. While there was an increase in Kindergarten enrollment at Manchester Township Elementary School, it was balanced out by a drop in enrollment at the Ridgeway School.

were the old candle shop, a furniture store and several single-family homes, which now sit behind chain link fence awaiting demolition. With multiple planned or just-opened locations in the Ocean-Monmouth county area, Quick Chek’s continued growth and expansion isn’t county specific but part of the company’s stategy to fill a need for quality food and fuel at value prices, said Russ Mensch, of the public relations firm representing Quick Chek. Founded in 1967, Quick Chek is privately held. Its first location was Dunellen. The convenience store recently opened stores in Howell, Lakewood and Beachwood. The latest plan calls for expansion to Toms River, Brick and Jackson. The chain follows a similar business model to Wawa with electronic kiosks to order fully-customizable subs, salads, soups, sandwiches and beverages plus dairy and grocery items. Mensch said that each store creates 40 to 50 new local jobs and generates approximately $1 million in tax revenues. The three new locations – Lakewood, Howell and Beachwood – have created 135 jobs including 24 management positions and will generate approximately $3 million in tax revenue. “That is a positive impact on the local economies,” he said. The latest store to open is a new Beachwood store, the first to offer pharmacy and fuel. The site opened July 18 and employs 45 team members. The previous location just south
The Manchester Times, September 3, 2016, Page 5 on Route 9 was closed prior to the opening of the new facility. A Berkeley Quick Chek farther south on Route 9 has the store plus gas station model. Quick Chek opened 34 stores in the past eight years, including five stores to date in their current fiscal year, bringing the total number of stores to 144. Coming Soon Under “Coming Soon” section of Quick Chek’s website, a Jackson location, 281 South New Prospect Road, is slated for a Fall 2016 opening. Jackson also has a Quick Chek at Leesville Road. The South New Prospect Road store, which will also have a gas station, is nearing completion with the framework of the store, its signage and a hiring notification sign in place. Also under “Coming Soon” is the Brick location, Route 70, for a summer 2017 opening date, with land there recently cleared and construction equipment and infrastructure materials on site. Ten more locations are listed as opening in New Jersey between fall 2016 and summer 2017, at Quick Chek.com/ComingSoon. The Toms River site at the Fischer-Adams-Route 37 location is not yet listed as a “Coming Soon” store. Township Planner Jay Lynch said the northeast corner of Route 37 and Fischer Blvd is now owned by Quick Chek. “It was approved by the Planning Board a while back and they resubmitted for a plan amendment in order to increase the size of the site,” said Lynch, adding the area enclosed by the chain link fence includes the entire site of the proposed Quick Chek. “The site plan has
been approved by the Planning Board and the applicant is in the process of addressing the conditions of approval.” Recently Opened Patrick Jeffery, the Engineer of Record for Beachwood Borough, said the new Quick Check store there on Route 9 is approximately 6,520 square feet and includes outdoor seating areas for approximately 16 people. The new store also includes four fueling islands with two dispensers per island. Each dispenser provides fuel pumps on each side. In total, approximately 16 vehicles can be refueled at one time. The site also contains vacuums and air compressors for vehicle maintenance. Jeffery said the site design contains provisions for the management of stormwater including a stormwater management basin which includes an oil/water separator to minimize any spilled petroleum product from entering the basin and features sidewalks primarily along the Route 9 frontage. “Route 9 was widened to provide for turning lanes and a shoulder to improve traffic flow into and out of the site along Route 9. A permit from NJDOT was required for this work,” Jeffery said. Several overnights of road construction detoured Route 9 traffic through the adjacent grid of residential streets in Beachwood. Jeffery said the application before the borough’s Land Use Board received multiple approvals as the property was located within multiple zoning districts and a resolution was required that permitted the zoning provisions to be applicable to the entire site. One resolution provided conditional use
approval for the service station while another provided preliminary and final major site plan approval with variances and provided amended preliminary and fi nal site plan approval. For the Howell location, which also opened this year, the land was cleared to also make way for a CVS and an Investors Bank. New sidewalks and a stormwater basin were part of the improvements to the site.s Quick Chek Execs In recent statements, several executives at Quick Chek explained their business model has changed from the smaller, strip-mall storefronts to standalone spots that hope to become the “go-to place” for customers. “Everything we do is to satisfy our customers, and our business has evolved as our customer’s needs have evolved…from being the go-to place for fill in groceries, milk, bread, and cold cuts in our market to our position today as the leading fresh convenience food market in the NY/NJ Metro area,” said John Schaninger, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Quick Chek. “Our mission is to be a ‘Great Place to Work, a Great Place to Shop, and a Great Place to Invest,’’ said Quick Chek chief executive officer Dean Durling, whose family-owned company has locations throughout New Jersey, New York’s Hudson Valley and Long Island. In addition to the above locations, other nearby Quick Cheks include the convenience storefront in Point Pleasant, gas and convenience stores in Manchester, and more locations in Farmingdale and Wall. No locations exist south of the Bayville one, at Central Parkway and Route 9.

Her schedule is booked solid with comedy shows in New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, and of course, New Jersey.

A new pumper will serve the residents of Manchester for years to come. Ridgeway is an-all volunteer firehouse on a limited budget and purchasing a major apparatus is difficult if not impossible without some federal assistance.” According to Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Company Chief Michael Trimarchi, the company’s existing 1987 pumper costs as much as $20,000 to maintain every year. It’s

Scotti spoke with The Manchester Times before her August appearances on AGT and expressed gratitude for the support she has received locally. “It’s been an incredible couple of months. The support I’ve received from all over the country, actually the world, is amazing. The best part, though, is walking into the supermarket and having people from right here in Manchester Township walk up and tell me that they are pulling for me,” Scotti told The Times. “Thanks to all of you!” For more information about upcoming performances, visit juliascotti.com.
been stretched thin trying to maintain the pumper as the township population grows. “I would like to take this time to thank Chris Smith for all of his support, as well as Mayor Ken Palmer, the township and FEMA,” said Trimarchi. “These funds that were awarded to purchase a new fire truck are going to be a great help. This truck will be replacing an old 1987 pumper. As our town grows, now I will feel comfortable putting my firemen’s lives on the line knowing we will have the best equipment available.” The new equipment will be purchased from the Ohio-based company Sutphen. The funds were awarded through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Assistance to Firefighters Grants Operations and Safety Grant Program, administered by

FEMA and the U.S. Fire Administration. It’s the second time Ridgeway received funds recently through the program, as the last award, of $210, 455, came in 2014 to help replace turn-out gear. Smith said then that the new equipment replaced older sets that were out of compliance and unreliable. The turn-out gear, comprised of the fi re suits, boots and helmets, was over 20 years old when it was replaced. “I was pleased to work with Chief Trimarchi and reach out to FEMA to support both grant applications and help bring updated equipment to Ridgeway volunteer firefighters,” Smith said. Smith, a long-time member of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus, wrote to FEMA to support the grant.

We Love Them To Death Today’s highest grossing box office releases are about animals. They include: “Finding Dory,” “The Jungle Book,” “Zootopia,” “The Secret Life of Pets,” and “Kung Fu Panda.” Nearly half of our households include a dog and nearly 40 percent have a cat. Two thirds of us view them as family members and cherish them accordingly. We love our animals to death. Literally... For every cat, dog or other animal that we love and cherish, we put 500 through months of caging, crowding, deprivation, mutilation, and starvation, before we take their very lives, cut their dead bodies into little pieces, and shove
those into our mouths. And that doesn’t even include Dory and billions of her little friends, because we haven’t figured out how to count individual aquatic animals that we grind up for human or animal feed. The good news is that we have a choice every time we visit a restaurant or grocery store. We can choose live foods - yellow and green vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, grains, as well as a rich variety of grain and nut-based meats and dairy products. Or, we can choose dead animals, their body parts, and other products of their abuse. What will it be? Henry Traconi Toms River

L������ T� T�� E����� Dangerous Language
Once again Donald Trump has put his foot in his mouth causing voters, even Republicans, to seriously question whether it is just a businessman not accustomed to political speech, as his supporters argue, or a reflection of a serious, maybe even mental, character flaw that clearly disqualifies him for the presidency. While I do not believe he really meant to encourage the assassination of Hillary Clinton when he referred to what Second Amendment supporters might do if she is President, his words are again inflammatory and dangerous. We live in turbulent times with many angry, often disturbed, people who have more guns than any person needs for legitimate self defense. In their warped minds they could conceivably interpret his remarks as license to actually kill Clinton before she can appoint Supreme Court justices that would be contrary to their interests. It also wrongly suggests that all advocates of the Second Amendment are prone to possible violence. For those who argue we need a good businessman, despite his multiple bankruptcies and law suits against him, or a tough leader in our troubled world, his negatives are greater as they threaten our American way of life that still stresses civility and dignity for all people. Seymour Brotman Manchester
Letter Was Biased The recent “Don’t Vote For Tr ump” letter (August 20 issue) really highlights the reason the public simply doesn’t trust politicians anymore, as the writer of this blatantly dishonest piece (a former Toms River Mayor) presents a totally biased viewpoint, without any attempt at checking out the facts -- quite easy to do with today’s internet sources. While we all certainly honor and respect a Gold Star mother and the unforgettable heroism of her son, blindly chastising Mr. Trump for his comments after Mr. K han’s appearance at the Democratic convention is really out there! Didn’t he eve n b ot he r t o rev iew Mr. Khan’s background at all? Again, we all respect the great sacrifice of Mr. Khan’s son several years ago along with the many American heroes of that war. However, Mr. Khan (the “guest” speaker at the Democratic convention) has an interesting “resume:” An immigration attorney specializing in obt aining American Visas for wealthy mid-east clients; co-founder of “Journal of Shiria Law” in the U.S.; worked for the law firm which represents Saudi Arabian Government in affairs with the U.S. It is simply shocking that a former mayor of a wellknown N.J. town could

Yes, Vote For Trump The author of “Don’t Vot e for Tr u mp” (Aug ust 20) is w rong. Mr. Trump did not disparage M rs. K a h n! He made an observation that she never said a word, which is a culturally ingrained instinct. In fact, didn’t anyone observe that Mrs. Kahn never, but never, looked directly into the camera? Capt ai n K a h n m ig ht be alive today, if vetting was in practice du r ing his time. And have we forgotten the 3,000 Americans lost on 9/11? The words out of Donald Trump’s mouth are nothing compared to the lies out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth. Also, isn’t Hillary Clinton’s reckless handling of E -m ai ls p ot e nt ial ly making her a target for black mail? Someone in cyb e r s p a c e s u r ely h a s those e-mails. M.

Don’t Vote For Hillary
In response to the August 20 letter writer of “Don’t Vote For Trump,” I can’t believe how one-sided you are. If you have so much compassion, I ask you as a mother, where is your rage, and what opinion do you have about Hillary Clinton lying to the mothers of Benghazi right to their face in front of their deceased son’s coffins. Yes, I have compassion, empathy, and my prayers and support go to all parents of those serving our count r y and those who died for our count r y. I know first-hand what war can do, I am the daughter of a WWII veteran who suffered PTSD all his life. G row i ng up w it h t hat, I thin k it’s disgracef ul for anyone to pick and choose who should get the respect of those defending our beautiful country for political reasons. That being said, that’s what t he let t e r “Don’t Vote For Trump” is, it’s political. Happy to say, I am voting for Donald Tr ump so we can make A mer ica g reat again. What a way to honor those fallen and those still in battle. H i l la r y Cl i nt on i s a danger to America and Americans. She doesn’t know fact from fiction.

County Clerk Implements Property Alert Service OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Clerk’s Office is offering an added layer of security when it comes to property protection. “ T he O ce a n C ou nt y Clerk’s Office Property Alert Service is a key step in protecting your property,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as director of law and public safety. “I want to commend our County Clerk Scott Colabella in implementing this new program, which provides a layer of protection against property and mortgage fraud.” The Property Alert Service is a free service that
provides property owners with email alerts anytime that a document affecting a specific property is recorded by the Ocean County Clerk’s Office. “Scammers record fraudulent documents like fake deeds or record fake liens against property owners,” Colabella said. “In some instances, fraud on real property is not discovered for years. “To address these concerns and protect one of the most important assets a person has, my office now offers this free service that immediately notifies residents by email whenever a document with their name is recorded in the County
Clerk’s Office,” he said. Property owners can sign up for the free service by visiting oceancountyclerk. com and clicking on the “Property Alert” icon to access the Property Alert Service page. “It’s as simple as registering your name or business name and your email address and you will be automatically notified electronically if a document is recorded with your name,” Colabella said. Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines noted Colabella and the Ocean Cou nt y Depa r t ment of Information Technology collaborated on the project which resulted in the
launching of the Property Aler t Ser vice in Ocean County. “This is an important service that can be accessed by our homeowners and business owners,” said Haines, who serves as liaison to the Department of Information Technology. “Any tools that can help protect our residents from fraud and scammers are useful and benefit our property owners.” Thousands of documents are recorded annually at the County Clerk’s office. Of the 131,893 documents recorded in 2015, 24,492 were deeds and 22,778 were mortgages. “Based on the volume
of deeds and mortgages recorded monthly, it’s not impossible for some items to be potentially fraudulent,” Colabella said. “This program will help property owners prevent potential scams from affecting them.” Kelly noted this program will also help seniors and their caregivers in making certain there is no fraudulent activity taking place. “Ocean County is home to more than 160,000 senior citizens,” Kelly said. “This is yet another way the county can offer some protection against scammers.” Colabella noted that unfortunately identity theft is a growing consumer complaint and property fraud,
which is a form of identity theft, is on the rise. “While this service can’t prevent fraud, it’s important to be notified early that someone may be trying to steal your property without your knowledge,” Colabella said. He added that the only time recordings can be refused is when statutory guidelines are not met. “As long as a document meets statutory recording guidelines, New Jersey law requires the Clerk’s Office to record the document,” he said. “I am pleased we can offer this new program to help our constituents detect information that may be fraudulent.”
National Preparedness Month: Family Communication Plan OCEA N COU N T Y – September is recognized as National Preparedness Mont h. O ce a n C ou nt y Freeholder Deput y Dire ctor Ge r r y P. Lit tle, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, said “Your Family Emergency Communication Plan begins with questions such a s, W hat if somet h i ng happens and I am not with my family? How will I reach my family? How will I know they are safe? How will my family know I am okay?” Freeholder Little added, “Many of our communication networks, such as mobile phones and computers, could be unreliable during disasters and electricity could be disrupted. Planning for any type of
d isa st e r or e me rge ncy helps ensure that all the members of your household, including children and people with disabilities, know how to reach each other and where to meet up in an emergency.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean Count y Health Depar tment public health coordinator, said, “Making an emergency plan that every household member has will help you reconnect with others in case you do not have your mobile device or computer with you or if your battery runs down. It is important to write down phone numbers and email addresses for everyone in your household. In addition, as disasters can st r i ke du r i ng school or work
hours, family members need to know their emergency response plans and how to st ay i n for med. Make sure your children are aware of the plans and let them know who would pick them up in an emergency. Sign yourself up for emergency alerts from your child’s school, your workplace, and local government. Make sure you are made aware of your child’s school plans in case of an emergency.” It is also suggested that you identify someone outside of your community or state who can act as a central point of contact to help your household reconnect. In a disaster, it may be easier to make a long-distance phone call than to call locally as the
local phone lines could be jammed.” Regenye also added that in your communication plan you should also include phone numbers for emergency services, utilities,
service providers, medical providers, veterinarian, insurance companies, and other services. Also enter household and emergency contact information into all household member’s
mobile phones or devices.” You can find a copy of a Family Emergency Communication Plan on the front page of the Ocean Count y Health Depar tment website at ochd.org.

Army Program Offers Free Standardized Test Prep, Online Study Programs
JOINT BASE – Students seeking help preparing for college entrance exams or looking to improve math, English and science skills can do so for free with the March2Success. com online study program. In addition to test preparation materials and self-paced study programs, the site offers seven full-length free practice tests for both the SAT and ACT as well as an entire section dedicated to science, technology, engineering and math coursework. March2Success, a public service provided by the U.S. Army, offers guides to walk users through the entire college application process and also has a monitoring tool for parents and educators to track student progress, test scores and completed lessons. “March2Success is the Army’s gift to public education,” said Tony Castillo, chief of education for U.S. Army Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky. “We want students to stay in school and be qualified for life, whether they decide to join the Army or not. We want them to have every opportunity to become productive members of society.” The free online academic readiness program, featuring curriculum designed by Peterson’s and the College Options Foundation, provides students easy access to test preparation materials to help improve their scores on standardized tests, like state exit exams, college entrance exams and military entrance exams.
While March2Success does offer assistance with improving scores on standardized tests, which includes the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, this program is not part of a military recruiting effort, according to Castillo. There is no obligation to use the service, and no personal information is collected or shared. “More than 70 percent of today’s youth do not qualify for military service, and low aptitude accounts for nearly 10 percent of disqualifications,” said Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Snow, commanding general for U.S. Army Recruiting. “So, yes, this program can help increase the number of young people who are eligible for military service, but more importantly, it helps improve the opportunities for success for all students, regardless of their desired career path.” The STEM tab alone provides tools to improve skills for a variety of career paths. It offers support for those interesting in improving skills in economics, financial accounting, calculus and physics, and it also offers nursing entrance exam practice test for PAX-RN, PSB Registered Nursing School Aptitude, and more. Site content includes self-paced study programs in math, English and science, with materials focused primarily on grades 8 to 12. March2Success.com is available for free to anyone over the age of 13.

Smart Phone Connectivity Technology offers all of us the opportunity to do amazing things every day that would have been unimaginable even 10 years ago. The advent and popularity of smartphones, such as the iPhone, has made our lives more convenient to the world around us than it has ever been. Our goal is to allow us an opportunity to connect people to the world around them in ways they may have forgotten, or never known in the first place; using the most advanced hearing technology available. Several hearing aid manufacturers including GN Resound and Starkey have developed hearing instruments which are iPhone compatible. What do patients like the most about this interactive breakthrough in hearing technology? Here’s what we’ve gathered: The ability to stream phone calls,
music, videos, FaceTime calls, and Siri from you cell phone straight to your hearing aids. The ability to make subtle adjustments for environmental changes with the touch of a finger, and that your iPhone remembers those settings, so the next time you return to your favorite places, you won’t need to make the same adjustments. The ability to use your iPhone as an additional microphone during conversations-place it on a table at a busy restaurant and connect with friends, family, and other loved ones more clearly. The ability to use your iPhone as a detector to find lost or misplaced hearing aids…GPS. The convenience of all of these features in one handheld, easy-touse device that you already carry with you.
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.
“Consumer Reports” Is Frightening People Needlessly By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I was aghast after reading the Consumer Reports post that just revealed 15 herbs which they feel are dangerous for you. Their headline reads “15 Supplement Ingredients to Always Avoid” and goes on to say “These supplement ingredients can cause organ damage, cardiac arrest and cancer.” Man, that just scares the bejeebers out of you, doesn’t it? Success – that is their goal. It’s intent is to spark anxiety about natural remedies. It is so superbly crafted that it will terrify the public into the arms of white coat professionals who can prescribe medications, which are obviously safer because they are FDA-approved. (Yes, I’m being sarcastic again, don’t you know me by now?!) As an example, Consumer Reports includes green tea (Camellia sinensis) on their “dangerous” list because it is found in weight loss aids. They say green tea powder may cause you to experience “dizziness, ringing in the ears…glaucoma… elevated blood pressure/heart rate, liver damage and possibly death.” That is green tea, you realize right? I’m not suggesting that these potentials don’t exist, or that you don’t have to worry about side effects at all (because you do), but I’m convinced that the weight loss medications are more dangerous. Maybe that’s just me, I’m a pharmacist remember? I have access to those long and boring package inserts that come folded up and when you unfold them and read them, you’ll need a
magnifying glass to read all the potential disasters that could occur. So they’re telling you that green tea is dangerous, and they list “possibly death” as a risk. Nowhere in this article did they mention that in 1997, one of the most horrific drug recalls ever to occur happened with weight loss drugs. Google “fen-phen” and you’ll learn that fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were yanked because they destroyed heart valves and led to strokes and heart attacks. This problem unfortunately could occur in people years after stopping. Yet, they list green tea as causing “possibly death.” Comfrey root was another one on their list where the benefits claimed were “relieves cough” and “treats cancer.” Comfrey has been used for centuries, and is considered very safe by herbalists, yet Consumer Reports posted “possibly death” for herb too. Chemotherapy is the medication alternative to treating cancer. If you are interested in the 15 supplements they named, and you’d like to know the drug(s) that could be used instead of these “dangerous ingredients,” sign up for my newsletter and I’ll send an brilliant piece I wrote that includes medications which work in place of 15 herbs so you can see what is supposedly safer. No matter how bad herbal ingredients are painted with scary warnings that are scrounged up, some medications carry the same exact warnings. It’s not my opinion, a quick look at their patient package insert will prove it.

BlueClaws, Phillies Extend Player Development Contract
LAKEWOOD – The BlueClaws and Philadelphia Phillies secured a four-year extension of their Player Development Contract. With the four-year extension, the BlueClaws will remain the South Atlantic League affiliate of the Phillies through at least the 2020 season. “The Phillies are pleased to extend our partnership with the BlueClaws,” said Steve Noworyta, Phillies Assistant Director of
Player Development. “This is a top-class facility with outstanding fan support in a great community. It’s a tremendous place for our players to continue their development and we’re excited to continue the relationship.” Noworyta and BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow formally signed the papers on the field in a ceremony prior to the August 23 BlueClaws game. The BlueClaws have been a Phillies affiliate
since their 2001 inception. In that time, the team has won three South Atlantic League championships (2006, 2009, & 2010) and, in 2010, became the fi rst South Atlantic League team since 1993-1994 (Savannah) to win back-to-back league titles. This year, the BlueClaws are in first place with less than two weeks remaining in the season as Lakewood tries to get back to the post-season for fourth time in franchise
history. Sixty-nine former BlueClaws have gone on to play in the Major Leagues, with 42 of those players debuting with the Phillies. Ryan Howard was the first to debut, on September 1, 2004, with his 2002 BlueClaws teammate Gavin Floyd debuting two days later. Current Phillies that played with Lakewood include Howard (2002), Carlos Ruiz (2001), Maikel Franco (2011-12), Cameron Rupp (2011), Severino Gonzalez (2013), Hector Neris (2011), Freddy Galvis (2008), and Aaron Altherr (2011-12). Former Phillies first-round pick JP Crawford, now with Triple-A Lehigh Valley and considered one of the top prospects in all of baseball, played for Lakewood in 2013-14, while Double-A Reading teammates Dylan Cozens (2015) and Rhys Hoskins (2014), who are 1-2 in Minor League Baseball in home runs, are both former BlueClaws as well. “The partnership between the BlueClaws and Phillies has been tremendous for the BlueClaws and the entire Jersey Shore. Many future Phillies and big league stars have played here, and we look forward to the next great wave of future Phillies over the next several seasons,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “We are excited to extend our agreement with the Phillies.” Ryan Howard (#29) and Cole Hamels (#19) are the only two former BlueClaws players to have their numbers retired by the team. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. They have led the South Atlantic League and New Jersey in attendance in all 15 years of existence.

Inside The Law Protect Yourself And Your Family By Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance.
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert Shea and Michael Deem, R.C. Shea
A sig nif icant percent age of the motor vehicles that travel though our community are either uninsured or underinsured. To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or under i nsu red motor ists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who pu rch a se St a nd a rd p ol icie s. A lt hou g h u nd e r i n s u r e d mot or i s t (UIM) coverage is not mandator y, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey. As the name suggests, UM /UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For instance, you are sitting at a
red light minding Michael J. Deem Esq. your business when all of the sudden a dr unk r uns a red lig ht, crashes i nto you r veh icle a nd causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple per manent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the dr unk was uninsured or underinsured. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment m a ny p e ople del ibe r at ely do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled. Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family. Selecti ng the cor rect i nsu rance coverage is your responsibility. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Cooking Up Family Recipes Dear Joel I was hoping that you can help me with a sensitive issue. My mother is 88 years old and lives in an adult community in Lakewood. All of her life she has been a wonderful cook and an amazing baker as well. My mother has never done any of her cooking or baking from recipe books or anything that is handwritten. It has all been in her head and done by heart. I want to take these recipes and write them down, so when she is gone I can keep her delicious foods alive and pass it on for generations. I don’t want to hurt her feelings but am concerned that she will think that I am being insensitive. Answer I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself when reading your question. Your mom is 88 years old and realizes, as do we all, that one day she will pass on. You are paying her a very big compliment
yet are afraid of hurting her feelings. Tell her exactly what you want and I am 100 percent sure she would love to share with you all that she can. You can also go to her home once a week and observe her cooking and write it down while watching. I would then transfer it to a computer file. There is also recipe software that is available at the major retailers. May I also suggest going to Carole Walter baking school online. It is a fantastic web site that is inexpensive and chock full of recipes. Have fun! I enjoyed your email. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Pirates Day Coming Back To Barnegat
BARNEGAT – Pirates, pirates and more pirates will follow the treasure map to downtown Barnegat on September 10 for the free family festivities that are expanded this year at Pirates Day. Pirates Day in Barnegat runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on East Bay Avenue with an all-day schedule of entertainment for all ages, and continues at 7 p.m. with an outdoor concert at the public dock. The event includes pirate-themed re-enactors, a huge vendor-craft fair, live music on two bandstands, an enlarged kids’ entertainment area, a farmers market, a car show, food and more. Parking for Pirates Day is made easy with shuttle buses running a continuous loop from remote lots at the Barnegat Township Municipal Complex and the rear of St. Mary’s Church, both located on West Bay Avenue just
MANCHESTER – Oliverie Funeral Home has been honored by the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) with the 2016 Pursuit of Excellence Award. Just over 160 firms from around the world received this prestigious recognition, placing Oliverie Funeral Home among an elite group of funeral service providers. Pursuit of Excellence Award recipients raise the bar on funeral service excellence by adhering to the highest ethical and professional standards
off Garden State Parkway Exit 67. The annual event is sponsored by Barnegat Township, the Barnegat-Waretown Chamber of Commerce and Manahawkin Kia Jeep Ram Dodge. Chamber President Jerry Thompson, of The Van Dyk Group, said there will be more pirates than ever at this year’s event. Back this year is the nationally known magician David Engel. Additional pirate troupes and entertainers are being added to the already-lively scenario that has made Pirates Day a popular draw every year. The event attracts 12,000 to 14,000 people not only from town, but regionally and as far away as the major metropolitan areas. An opening ceremony starts at 9:30 a.m. with color guard observances and singer Jim Kelley presenting the patriotic songs that were
recently received with a standing ovation at the Lakewood Blue Claws stadium. Dressing like a pirate is encouraged, and rewarded with prizes in several age categories. All the better when encountering the swarthy teams of professional pirate re-enactors, including Valhalla’s Pirates, Ye Pirate Brotherhood and the Sea Dogs. Register for the contest at the Pirates Cove section of the festivities. The lineup of bands is: Jersey Sure Cats from 10 a.m. to noon; 40 North Band from noon to 2 p.m., September’s Brew from 2 to 4 p.m. Then at 7 p.m. evening entertainment moves to the public dock on East Bay Avenue, starting with crowd favorite Tommy Edwards as Sir Rod. The addition of a Kids Zone last year, said Thompson, was a huge success made possible by a donation from Manahawkin Kia Jeep
Ram Dodge. The Kids Zone brings gaming trailers, inflatable bounce houses, obstacle course, trackless train and more to the field across from the fire company. Dealership General Manager Blaise Scibetta said that this year, they are also bringing 20 to 30 cars, trucks, mini-vans and sport utility vehicles. Giveaways, gift cards and coupons will also be part of the excitement. Say “arrgh” and chomp down on festival food whose sales benefit community organizations. For instance, St. Mary and St. Paul Coptic Church will be selling Mediterranean specialties again this year, as well as local favorites from the community organizations and the restaurants on East Bay Avenue. For more information call Jean at Barnegat Recreation 609-698-0080 ext. 122 or Jerry Thompson at the Van Dyk Group 609-698-6900.

Chronic Ankle Instability by Rebecca Kashdan, DPT, Jackson Location
With every step you take, your feet are the only connection between your body and the ground. Your feet support you and transmit the force from each step through your ankles, through your lower leg, and to the rest of your body. Many people have, or will have, a sprained ankle at some point throughout their lifetime. An ankle sprain can impact the way you move whether you are a competitive athlete or simply walking around the grocery store and can lead to a chronic condition called ankle instability. WHAT IS A SPRAINED ANKLE AND WHY IS CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY A BIG DEAL? Your ankle is made up of several bones that not only allow you to point and flex your ankle, but also allow you to tilt your foot inward (inversion) and outward (eversion) so that you can adjust to uneven surfaces such as cobblestones, a sandy beach, or divots in your back yard. The bones in your ankle are connected by several ligaments, a type of connective tissue, on both the inside and outside to increase the stability of the joint. When you experience a sprained ankle, usually the ankle rolls inward resulting in over-stretching the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Occasionally the ankle is forced outward resulting in over-stretching of the ligaments on the inside of the ankle; how-
mild to moderate tear, and grade III meaning there is a significant tear in the ligaments. Symptoms may also include swelling, pain, bruising, and difficulty putting weight on the affected foot. If you have experience a sprained ankle with any of these symptoms you should see your doctor.
therapy will not repair a torn ligament; however, the therapists at All-Care are trained to develop a program that will promote healing as well as maximize the stability in your ankle by strengthening the surrounding musculature.
Chronic ankle instability is the result of several factors causing a person to sprain their ankle repeatedly. The first factor is over-stretched or torn ligaments resulting in decreased ankle stability. The second factor is muscle imbalance. When the ligaments are stretched or torn, the muscles and tendons surrounding the ankle may also be stretched and irritated, resulting in muscle weakness. The third factor is impaired proprioception. Proprioceptors are tiny nerve receptors located in soft tissue throughout the body that sense your position in space (these receptors allow you to touch your pointer finger to your nose with your eyes closed). The proprioceptors in the ankle are extremely important when it comes to balance and the ability to adjust your ankle on uneven surfaces to prevent falling. When the tissues surrounding the ankle are disrupted the proprioceptors do not collect the information that they need to help you adjust. All of these factors combined make up an ugly recipe for repeated ankle sprains as well as increasing the risk for falling. An unstable ankle can change the way the forces are transmitted from the foot through the rest of your body causing problems beyond your foot and ankle.
While proper footwear can provide excellent support for a person with chronic ankle instability, exercising barefoot in a controlled environment helps build natural stability. Often patients with ankle instability perform physical therapy exercises without shoes to increase reliance on the natural stabilizing muscles instead of relying on support from your shoes. You may notice that if you stand on one foot with a supportive sneaker and compare it to standing on one foot without shoes, you tend to “wobble” more without the shoes. That is exactly why we focus on barefoot stability. While barefoot exercise in a controlled environment can be beneficial, high impact barefoot training such as running or jumping without proper conditioning can lead to many other injuries. Make sure to speak with your doctor or physical therapist before beginning your own barefoot program.
PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP!
ever, that is much less common. Ankle sprains are often graded based on the severity of over-stretching with grade I meaning the ligaments are overstretched but not torn, grade II meaning there is a
Physical therapy can help to break the cycle of chronic ankle instability by preventing future ankle sprains. We use exercises that focus on normalizing muscle imbalances, restoring normal motion, and improving ankle proprioception. Your physical therapist will evaluate your imbalances in order to create a program specifically designed for you. For instance, if you feel fine while standing on flat stable surfaces but you have difficulty on a plush carpet or an uneven sidewalk, your therapist may have you practice standing and walking on unstable surfaces to functionally strengthen your ankle stabilizing muscles.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE ADVANCED FOOT & ANKLE SPECIALISTS, PC
To drag one’s feet is to proceed slowly, reluctantly or without enthusiasm. To sweep someone off their feet is to overwhelm with charm. And to stand on one’s own feet is to be independent and self-supporting. These are just a few examples of the many sayings that refer to the feet. But some may ask, why feet? Simply put, because the feet are the foundation of the body and just like any other structure, the body without a strong foundation will begin to suffer possible serious problems, making proper foot care of the utmost importance. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, conveniently located in the Whiting Stop & Shop Shopping Center at 400 Lacey Road, Suite 9B, offers patients the exceptional care they deserve in the latest stateof-the-art facility by highly experienced and caring professionals. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists was originally founded by Dr. Scott Amoss in 2000 and was formerly located in Toms River. In 2005, seeing there was a great need for his services in the area, Dr. Amoss relocated his practice to Whiting. In February of 2014, with the need for more space to accommo-
date his expanding practice and to house newer, more technically advanced equipment, Advanced Foot & Ankle relocated to its present beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and spacious facility. The personable Dr. Amoss is a highly-educated professional who is a lifelong resident of the Jersey Shore. The happily married father of three studied and received an undergraduate degree in chemistry at Cook College at Rutgers University. He became a member of a National Chemistry Honor Society and worked for several years as a chemist before he decided to pursue a career in medicine. Dr. Amoss attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine where he finished fourth in his class of over 100 graduates and subsequently graduated cum laude in 2000. He is also the recipient of many honors and accolades, including Deans List recognition during all four years while attending the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. After completing a twoyear surgical residency at William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton, New Jersey, Dr. Amoss received extensive training in fields such as orthope-
dics, vascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery, emergency medicine, dermatology and radiology. Dr. Amoss was also on staff at the South Jersey Wound Care Center, the largest facility in South Jersey. His expertise and training has led him to be a Board Qualified Foot Surgeon by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. He is also a Diplomat American Board of Podiatric Medicine as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Dr. Amoss is currently on staff at Community Medical Center in Toms River and the Manchester Surgery Center, where he performs inpatient and outpatient surgery. He is also a member of the New Jersey Podiatric Medical Society and American Podiatric Medical Association. The impressive qualifications at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists are not limited to Dr. Amoss. Those on his staff are all Certified Podiatric Medical Assistants through the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants. Dr. Amoss and his team of professionals treat all of the common foot ailments including hammertoes, bunions, athletes’ foot, ingrown nails and heel pain. “We treat all ages and everything from the knee down,”
said Dr. Amoss, including P.A.D., or peripheral arterial disease, a common circulatory problem which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow, causing symptoms such as leg pain when walking. This condition can also reduce blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs. Treatment for Achilles tendon, ankle instability, ankle sprains and sports injuries of the ankle and foot are also addressed. The new facility also offers on-site surgery, X-rays and biopsies, often finding skin cancer that others may have missed. “With diabetes being on the rise, proper foot care for those with diabetes is a major concern,” continued
Dr. Amoss. “With a diabetic foot, a small wound can be slow to heal, lead to infection and sometimes severe consequences including amputation. However, at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, surgery is always a last resort.” Although prestigious qualifications are always important when choosing a physician, impressive qualifications in the compassion department are of equal importance. From the pleasant voice that answers your call to the smile that greets you as you walk through the door of Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, there is a genuine feeling of caring, concern and compassion. You are never just a number at Advanced Foot & Ankle. Dr. Amoss and his dedicated team all agree that the most important and best part of their job is making a positive impact
on people’s lives. In short, their mission is “Making people feel better,” said Podiatric Assistant Kristen Valentino. All of your foot care needs are taken care of at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, which also offers a large and stylish selection and expert fitting of orthopedic and diabetic shoes and sandals. They even carry specially formulated nail polish for those suffering from fungal infections. Extras and details such as these are what makes Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists stand out from the rest. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists PC is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 732-350-0100 or visit them online at AdvFootandAnkle.com.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of September 3-September 9
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Breathe new life into old routines. Paying close attention to the tiniest things and adding a unique touch could ensure your future is better than average. Make necessary changes in the earliest part of the week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Being selfish is necessary sometimes. Do what is in your best interests, not what will be profitable or expedient for other people. Use your diplomatic skills within the confines of business situations as this week unfolds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sound strategies include knowing when to keep quiet. Although you may be flattered to be given an opportunity to voice an opinion it may not be in your best interests to do so. Play it close to your chest in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The next few days are the best ones for networking and making new contacts. Avoid making major purchases or commitments in the last half of the week. The week ahead can bring benefits if you sidestep confrontations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Budget-conscious attitudes are broken down by compassion. No matter how strict you are about spending someone could wheedle a few dollars out of your pocket in the week ahead. Launch new projects as soon as possible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Enjoy the fruits of your labors. In the week ahead you might receive applause for your generosity, leadership abilities or wisdom. Make commitments, promises and agreements as early in the week as possible to avoid disputes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep the best and highest in mind. Your wants and needs might be well under control and used to good purpose in the week ahead. A generous spirit will help you survive when people are difficult to deal with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Focus on setting reasonable goals this week. Put something away for a rainy day this week. You will learn that it is better to save your pennies than to waste them on passing whims. Loved ones may share your ambitions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Give in with good grace. You may need to compromise to achieve harmony with others. Favors may be asked. Even the most devoted followers need an incentive or a reward for their loyalty this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Exercise good taste. Ask for the opinion of a friend when shopping for decorator items or house wares and you won’t go wrong.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Saucy Summer: Recipes For The Height Of Tomato Season By Wolfgang Puck
Now is the time of summer when, everywhere you turn, it seems that fresh sun-ripened tomatoes are plentifully in sight. Farmers’ market stands are piled high with them, from big beefsteak tomatoes to all sizes, shapes and colors of heirloom varieties to tiny cherry tomatoes. Home gardens, too, are filled with tomato plants supported by cages or trellises and heavily weighted down with crops just begging to be picked. So, what do you do with all those tomatoes? Of course, I’m eating them in lots of salads right now. I’m also slicing them to go in sandwiches or on top of pizzas and pureeing them coarsely for warm tomato soups and cold gazpachos. I’m using either chopped tomatoes or halved cherry varieties to cook with and garnish all kinds of main dishes. And that’s not to mention the tomatoes I chop up along with chile peppers, onions and cilantro or basil to make spicy salsas as a condiment. Even with all those possibilities, though, there always seems to be more tomatoes than I can use right away. That’s why one of my mainstay recipes at this time of year is a basic, all-purpose homemade tomato sauce. I like to make a big pot of this sauce, which takes just a couple of hours or so to simmer gently on the stove. Some of it I may use right away. The rest can be easily stored in small containers that provide just the right amount for an individual recipe. Some I may keep in the refrigerator to use within a few days. The rest I’ll put in the freezer, where the sauce will keep reliably well for several months, to be thawed overnight in the refrigerator or, depending on the recipe, added directly to other ingredients simmering away. One of my favorite ways to use this kitchen staple is in my recipe for angel hair with tomato-basil-garlic sauce, which combines the basic tomato sauce with more seasonings and fresh tomatoes to make a quick, flavorful pasta that’s one of the most popular dishes in my restaurants. In the following recipe I use cherry tomatoes, which I fi nd offer reliably satisfying sweetness and texture at any time of year. They also look beautiful on the plate. For an especially attractive presentation, look for a variety of these little bite-sized tomatoes in different colors, including golden-yellow and bright orange, as well as tiny pear shapes to complement the round ones. So go ahead and welcome your own bumper crop of tomatoes. And get ready to enjoy the rich, sweet-savory f lavor of summer sunshine. HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE Makes 6 to 8 cups (1.5 to 2 L) 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium red onions, chopped 4 large garlic cloves, peeled, trimmed and smashed 1 large sprig fresh oregano 4 to 5 pounds sun-ripened red tomatoes 2 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar, if necessary Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions, garlic and
oregano and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender but not yet browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the tomatoes. With a small, sharp knife, carefully cut out the stem end of each. Cut the tomatoes in halves and squeeze out the seeds into a bowl. Coarsely chop the tomatoes and set aside. Stir the tomatoes into the pan with the onion mixture. Hold a fi ne-meshed sieve over the pan and pour in the seeds, letting their juices fall into the pan; discard the seeds. Reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 hours. Using a food mill, insert its coarse disc and position the mill on top of a large mixing bowl. Taste the tomatoes and, if necessary, stir in some of the sugar to enhance their sweetness. Ladle the tomato mixture in batches into the food mill and turn the handle to puree. Discard the skins and fibers left inside the mill. To store any sauce you aren’t using right away, ladle it into small storage containers. Let the sauce cool, and then refrigerate or freeze. ANGEL HAIR WITH TOMATOBASIL-GARLIC SAUCE Serves 4 1/2 cup (125 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving 4 garlic cloves, peeled, trimmed and smashed 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 24 cherry tomatoes, cut in half, plus extra for garnish 3 1/2 cups (875 mL) homemade tomato sauce 4 small sprigs fresh basil, plus 1/4 cup (60 mL) julienned fresh basil, for garnish Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Granulated sugar, optional 12 ounces (375 g) dried angel hair pasta 1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, garlic, pepper flakes and cherry tomatoes. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and the basil sprigs. Reduce the heat. Season with salt and pepper, and add a little sugar, if necessary. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Drain, reserving about 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the cooking water. Remove and discard the basil sprigs. Add the pasta to the sauce in the skillet and toss to coat, adding a little reserved cooking liquid if necessary. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) Parmesan and toss again. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss once more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, use tongs to lift and twirl neat mounds of pasta onto serving plates. Distribute tomatoes over and around the pasta. Garnish with more grated Parmesan and basil julienne. Serve immediately.
