From Empty Plot To Community Garden: Wrangle Brook Volunteers Help Stock Food Pantries BERKELEY – After breaking ground a year ago, the Wrangle Brook Community Garden is flourishing with fresh vegetables for Ocean County food banks, and sites are available for residents to grow their own vegetables. The one-acre tract of land, just off Lakehurst and Southampton Roads near Toms River, was a weeded, vacant lot. Bonney Parker, the Coordinator of the Wrangle Brook Community Garden and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Ocean County Congregation (UUOCC) had a dream to see the vacant lot produce something and become a jewel for the area. The UUOCC members also wanted a social justice project to work on and realized that hunger was a real problem in the area. The community garden will help those less fortunate who don’t have the opportunity to grow fresh vegetables, and do so at a reasonable price. Parker and other church members moved forward in asking Berkeley Township to lease them the land to grow a community garden. “Working with Mayor Amato, I presented the idea to the Council, who in turn, unanimously approved the resolution granting the lease,” said Berkeley Township Councilwoman Judy Noonan. “We were (Garden - See Page 7)

Proclamations were presented from Mayor Carmen Amato, Freeholders (Gym - See Page 4)
To Remember Residents Who Died In Attacks
By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – Though the towers of New York City were another state away, the impact was nonetheless felt incredibly close to home. More than a dozen local residents died in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, in the World Trade Center but also on United Flight 93. Many of their names can be found in local memorials to September
11. Some of the men and women, ranging in ages from 26 to 70, were residents at the time, while others grew up or graduated here. Their names, compiled from archive news reports and September 11 sites, are reprinted here: Peter Paul Apollo, Waretown, World Trade Center, born 1974. John James Badagliacca, of Brick and Staten Island, World Trade (Ceremonies - See Page 4)

In his tenure as BOE board president, DePaola worked with then-superintendent Joseph Vicari on the capital project of a new elementary school for Berkeley, Berkeley Elementary School. The $32 million expansion of the district schools came in on time and under budget, reads DePaola’s obituary. DePaola, 80, was an Army veteran, enlisting after graduating from East Orange High School in 1955. He went on to work for the United States Post Office for 38 years before retiring. Throughout his life, he served as athletic director at St. Mary’s High School, Perth Amboy Oratory Prep in Summit, and St. Pius in Piscataway. He also coached soccer, baseball, and Pop Warner Football. He was a football referee, a baseball umpire and basketball official for many years as well as being involved in many local organizations. A packed gymnasium on August 16 featured friends, family and colleagues from several levels of government celebrating Depaola’s life. A sign renaming the gymnasium is already in place.

POLICE: STAY OUT OF ASARCO
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The site offers trails for all terrain vehicles and swimming for those who want to cool off from the summer heat or just have a picnic along the banks. There is a problem though: Heritage Minerals is off limits. The 7,000-acre site attracts visitors, or, legally speaking, trespassers, who like to use it for their recreational needs, ignoring numerous signs warning would-be visitors to not trespass. The site is private property. Because it’s remote and the site of a former mining operation, it’s also dangerous. “The Heritage Minerals or ‘ASARCO’ site is private property. It is closed for recreational and other use and it is a criminal offense to enter or remain on the property. In the interest of public safety, [we urge] everyone to obey the ‘No Trespassing’ signs posted at the site,” The Manchester Township Police said in a statement. “Trespassers are subject to hefty fines and penalties up to and includ-
ing incarceration for being on the property.” Last summer, 17-year-old DeNasia Davis drowned in one of the bodies of water dotting the property. The police warn those “lakes” are not as inviting as they appear. “During its years of operation, the land was mined so deeply that numerous bodies of water often referred to as ‘lakes’ formed. These ‘lakes’ which are actually groundwater aquifers, litter the landscape on the site. Seemingly unassuming, these bodies of water offer many dangers. Because the lakes were formed as a result of the mining operation, they do not have stable bottoms or shore lines, the way naturally occurring lakes do,” Manchester Police said. “The banks are very unpredictable and dangerously unstable. Those entering the water will quickly realize that after taking a few steps in the soft, unstable sand that the shoreline ‘shelf’ quickly drops off to depths that exceed 60 feet. Some estimates have the largest ‘lake’ on the property as being up to 300 feet deep.”
Not only is the water deep, but cold. Because it’s fed from mineral-rich spring water from aquifers, water temperatures plummet, causing even the strongest of swimmer to tire quickly. “Making matters worse, a recent lack of rain has exposed a greater area of the shoreline shelf putting those near the water perilously close to the steep drop off. Furthermore, unsuspecting vehicle operators and other individuals, including bathers, and families with small children are faced with a higher risk of danger in this exposed area because of its potential to collapse without warning. Under no circumstance should anyone walk or drive on this exposed shelf or approach or enter these waters,” police said. Captain Todd Malland told The Manchester Times no incidents have been reported recently on the property. The department wanted to remind residents to stay off the site. The department increased patrols during Labor Day weekend, warning trespassers of
fines for using ATVs and lighting bonfires, even with Hurricane Hermine churning up the Atlantic coast. Manchester is not the only town grappling with trespassing and other concerns deep in the woods. A multi-jurisdiction response in Lacey, comprised of its local police, forest personnel and county responders have patrolled the Pine Barrens, addressing trespassing but also habitat destruction and other illegal activity. In one case, a party was found in the woods and a vehicle struck a responding officer as the occupants attempted to flee. The Heritage Minerals site ceased mining operations in the 80s. It sits off Routes 70 and 37 and is the focus of redevelopment efforts of the Township and Hovsons. The township scrapped plans for a downtown center earlier this year, and will try to work within the framework of a 2004 settlement agreement that called for a 1,000-acre footprint on which to build homes and commercial properties.
State Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Continues Biography Project
NEW JERSEY – One of the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation’s most important projects is collecting biographical information on the men and women whose names are listed on the Memorial. Having this information will allow the foundation to forever preserve the memory of those who gave their lives in Vietnam. The founda-
tion’s goal is to one day have the biographical information and photographs for each of the New Jerseyans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their state and country. This information is also used to help teach younger generations that each name on the memorial had a life and an individual story. The foundation wants to demonstrate to visitors that
these were real people who lived complicated lives. Through learning about those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, visitors can create strong connections to the past. The New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation is always looking for more information about those we honor, and this includes personal memories, character traits, hobbies
and of course photographs. Visit njvvmf.org/biography-project.html to take a look at the list of the men who do not have photographs. If you have information or photographs or are related to any of the individuals from the memorial, send an email to shagarty@njvvmf. org or call 732-335-0033 ext. 104.

able to lease the land to the church for $1 a year, for five years.” Noonan added, “This property was acquired because the owner didn’t pay his taxes and the Township eventually owned it, but it sat vacant and was unsightly”. Under Mayor Carmen Amato’s direction, Mark Vannella, the Berkeley Township Director of Sanitation, came to the site with equipment and was able to clean up the land. There were big weeds that needed to be removed. We had volunteer school groups come and help out, but the Berkeley Township Parks and Beaches Department did most of the physical labor. Parker said, “On the one-acre site, we’re planting food for the food banks and the other half will be individual beds for members and their families. We’re celebrating three years with this project coming to fruition. Everything is in place and the ground has delivered incredible vegetables. So far, over 900 pounds of vegetables have been grown by our members and much of that was donated to the People’s Pantry food bank.” Pat Donaghue, executive director of the People’s Pantry thanked the volunteers at Wrangle Brook for the fresh produce. “This haul brought in heirloom tomatoes, corn, eggplant, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, all grown using organic practices. Thank you so much for this incredible generosity.

Editorial 15 Years, Never Forgotten This September 11 marks 15 years since the tragedy toppled towers and shook the nation, killing nearly 3,000 and injuring thousands others that day in New York City, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. Ocean County lost 19 of its residents in the attacks. In the immediate months after these deadly tragedies, residents clamored to find American flags and showed their patriotism in countless small and large ways. We pledged to Never Forget. We hung patriotic signs, supported or organized charity events for the victims. Our local emergency responders were among those who aided in rescue and clean-up. Others enlisted in military service in the War Against Terror, signing up to make the ultimate sacrifice. As months turned into years, the nation was no less removed from the impact of September 11th, whether the impact to the global economy or national security. The pieces of steel from the World Trade Center became local memorials found in the lobbies, vestibules and public gathering spaces of nearly every town. Those spots and others, such as the “Angel in
Anguish” sculpture at Windward Beach in Brick, each year host the commemoration and memorial observances that are held on the anniversary of the tragedy. In 2010, an area outside the Ocean County Freeholders building where several war memorials are installed, grew to include the installation of a piece of a steel girder from the World Trade Center which was added to the monument, laid upon a black base. The inscription reads: “World Trade Center Steel, presented to the citizens of Ocean County on the 10th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. With a heavy heart, America will forever remember.” Six more years have gone by since that inscription was made. Do we still remember as we did then, or 15 years ago? Remembering in your heart and with action can take so many forms. Wave the flag, attend a remembrance ceremony, help advocate for legislation that would help victims by contacting your legislators, or simply reflect on the fabric of the nation that has been woven along those 15 years. Now – and any day – is still a moment to Never Forget.

Letters To The Editor The “Loose Cannon” Candidate During his campaign Donald Trump has had plenty of chances to do (or say) stupid things and he’s taken full advantage of his opportunities. Here’s a man that said if elected president, he will deport twelve million aliens, punish women for having abortions, and will keep Juan, Jose and Carmelita out of the U.S. by building a wall on our southern border. I recall the French built a wall to keep the Germans out in WW II – how’d that work out? When is someone going to explain to Donald that ignorance is not virtue? More often than not, his prejudice clouds and darkens every sentence, every paragraph of his rhetoric. With Mr. Trump, it’s always winter but never Christmas. You’d think by now even those with limited intellectual resources would be able to connect the dots. Not only does the “loose cannon” candidate becoming president scare the bejesus out of most rational human beings, some Republicans harbor a suspicion that Trump is really a RINO! To the far-right crowd, that’s worse than being HIV -positive, a homosexual or a practicing Muslim with a black wife with a union card on welfare. To paraphrase the late H.L. Mencken, on some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach
their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright insufferable dullard. When you look at the alternative, however, is the other choice really any better? Borden Applegate Jackson
Draft Dodging And Lies I am an 89 year old (almost 90) U.S. Navy veteran of W W I I who proud ly served in the South Pacific, along with many, many others. We had no draft dodgers in our crew. Bill Clinton is a draft-dodger (Vietnam era) who on August 8, 1974, in speaking of President Nixon said: “Any president who lies to the American public should resign.” Bill Clinton lied and did not resign, but married Hillary Rodham Clinton, the lying and very untrustworthy person running for President of the United States. They match very well and Democrats support these lying cowards. I’m glad we did not have a Draf t-Dodging Commander in Chief during W W I I, a nd t hose t h at support Hillary the liar, should not thank veterans for their service, because they would be hypocritical liars, just like Bill and Hillary. Veterans and draft dodgers don’t match. Yet veterans served to protect draft dodgers. Thomas Little Whiting

A Boon To The State? More Like A Looming Disaster Trenton politicians are busy making the case for why New Jersey residents should vote this fall to allow casino expansion into North Jersey. One thing they are leaving out of their pitch is how these casinos would create a traffic disaster at a time when our state simply cannot handle it. If the most optimistic reports are to be believed, casinos in North Jersey would bring tens of thousands of people each day. One of the proposed locations for a casino is the Meadowlands – already one of the most congested areas for traffic in the country – where visitors would share the road with Giants and Jets fans in the fall and concertgoers throughout the year. This could be a deadly combination considering that a 2010 study found “a strong link between the presence of a casino in a county and the number of alcohol-related traffic accidents.” For any of us that have to make the trip up to New York City every day, we know that means longer commute times and less time with our families. So even though they can’t build a casino in Ocean County, we will still feel the impact from the increase in traffic up north. The American Dream, of course, should do nothing to ease concerns. Billed as one of the largest entertainment complexes in the U.S., construction broke ground in 2004. But traffic delays caused by the development became so bad that in 2012 the Jets and Giants filed a lawsuit against its developer, and today, nearly 12 years later, the site remains under construction, underscoring just how unpredictable massive projects like this can be. People coming to a casino in the Meadowlands would also be crowded onto the already-clogged New Jersey
Turnpike and Route 17, as well as Route 3 – one of the main feeders of the more than 100,000 cars that go through the Lincoln Tunnel every day. The expanded traffic will cause highways, already in poor repair, to endure further wear-andtear, leading to even more congestion and more traffic issues for New Jersey commuters. And yet perhaps the most troubling part of this situation is the state of New Jersey’s Transportation Trust Fund, which ordinarily would be called upon to repair such roads. Currently, the fund is nearly depleted, and with the five-year funding program expiring this summer, Governor Christie recently declared a state of emergency, proclaiming that all “nonessential transportation projects” would be delayed. Proponents of expansion contend the traffic issues these casinos would bring would be handled accordingly. But similar claims were made prior to the Super Bowl – the last time major transportation worries were expressed – and that night ended with more than 30,000 fans facing hourslong delays on public transportation, chanting “Jersey Sucks.” To avoid similar outcomes in the future, New Jersey voters should reject the ballot initiative expanding casino gambling this fall. Doing so will allow Trenton to focus on solving the traffic problems we already have. Stu Weiser Jackson

From the Des� O� The Freeholders Joseph H. Vicari and John P. Kelly
OCEA N COU NT Y – Fleets of school buses are back on the road as Ocean County’s schools are in session again. “Each September we remind motorists to be cautious of not only school buses loading and unloading children, but also of the thousands of children that walk and bicycle to school,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari. “Whether students take the bus, walk, ride a bicycle or are driven to school by their parents, there are
Freeholders: Drivers Cautioned To Watch For Children As Buses And Walkers Gear Up For Back To School safety rules everyone must follow,” he said. But safe driving begins before the car even reaches the street, he said. “Even while backing out of your driveway you may encounter inattentive students walking or biking to school,” Vicari, a lifelong educator, said. Drivers must also be extra alert for lower speed limits near schools. “Crossing guards will be protecting children, but it’s up to all of us as drivers to slow down and watch for
kids in the roadway,” Vicari said. When approaching any intersection, pedestrian crossing or school zone, be alert, cover the brake and be ready to stop. “Take a hard look,” Vicari said. “Look, and then look again, for the child hidden by parked cars, shrubbery or high grass, trees, or poles. Even mailboxes can obscure a child, if only for a moment.” Watch for the “darting child” who runs into the roadway chasing a ball or
some other object, he said. He also urged students to use extra caution and carefully check for any moving traffic when they exit a school bus. “Never trust a vehicle to stop just because the bus is flashing its red warning lights. Always look both ways before crossing the street after stepping out of the school bus,” Vicari said. Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly reminded drivers that they must stop for school buses loading and unloading
children. “State law requires drivers to stop at least 25 feet from a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing,” he said. “If a driver does not stop, the bus driver will report your license plate number and a summons will be mailed to the offending driver.” Kelly, who is also Director of Law and Public Safety, said children walking to school should always follow the same route and avoid short cuts. “Parents should walk with
their children at least once at the start of school so they know the route and approximately how long it takes to travel to and from school,” he said. For children who ride their bikes to school, state law requires anyone under the age of 17 to wear an approved safety helmet while on a bike, Kelly said. Kelly also asked that both children and motorists pay attention to their surroundings and not be distracted by cell phones while driving or walking.

REDUCING CATARACT RISK WITH DIET
As we all know, one of the best ways to reduce the risk of developing cataracts is to wear sunglasses and wear broad-brimmed hats that shield the eyes from damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. Another way to prevent the eye lens from clouding involves making a slight adjustment to our diets. Research involving sets of twins over a period of ten years shows that consuming diets rich in vitamin C was associated with a 33% reduction in risk of cataract development. It is thought that vitamin C’s ability to inhibit eye lens opacity is based on its strength as an antioxidant. The fluid inside the eyeball is normally high in vitamin C content, which helps prevent oxidation and lens cloudiness. Should you change your diet? At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., we stress preventive eye health care and periodic checkups by your ophthalmologist. Regular medical eye exams may help prevent unnecessary vision loss. We are committed to providing exceptional vision correction services and making our patients’ comfort, safety, and satisfaction our top priorities.

Ocean Gate Man Named To Sailing Hall Of Fame
OCEAN GATE – Among the nine inductees to this year’s Barnegat Bay Sailing Hall of Fame is Nelson H. Hartranft of Ocean Gate Yacht Club. In his early years, Nelson Hartranft was a summer resident, sailing 15-foot Sneakboxes at OGYC; there may even have been a championship or two won in the dawn of his sailing career. Hartranft has owned or been a partner in all of the original four A-Cats (Bat, Lotus, Mary Ann, and Spy), in addition to being the sponsor/owner of the Wasp, built on plans of the fifth true A-Cat, Tamwock. Today, the first race at Bay Head has an A-Cat award, the “Hartranft Trophy.” Hartranft’s Wasp began the whole resurrection of the fleet. A renewed interest was injected and Wasp was the Bay Champion for several years. Wasp was just the beginning of a new A-Cat era; part of that interest was that this new boat didn’t go to the bottom after the race or during the competition. After Wasp’s success, a few of the originals were bought and rebuilt; a few more were built from scratch to try and beat this new boat. The rest is history (14 built and 12 active). It seems that none of this would have happened if Hartranft hadn’t ventured forth and took the gamble fueled by his love for the “Traditions of Barnegat Bay.” Hartranft is still owner of Wasp and she was out on the water to campaign in the Barnegat Bay Yacht Racing Association 2012 season.

The 6th Barnegat Bay Sailing Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is on October 1, at 6 p.m., in the Health and Human Performance Center, on Ocean County College’s Main Campus, Toms River. Proceeds will be used to support the Ocean County College Sailing program. The Barnegat Bay Sailing Hall of Fame promotes and preserves the area’s maritime heritage by recognizing individuals whose accomplishments on the water and/or on shore have significantly enhanced Barnegat Bay’s maritime character and strengthened its status as a maritime center. Organized in 2004, the Barnegat Bay Sailing Hall of Fame recognizes not only sailors with ties to Barnegat Bay, but those who have achieved excellence in the sport of sailing and/ or contributed to the sport in some extraordinary manner. The nine inductees are Robert “Bob” Adams, F. Thompson Brooks, John and Gretchen Coyle, Dr. William W. “Bill” Fortenbaugh, Nelson H. Hartranft, Erik Johnson, Terry Kempton and Paul N. Smith. Tickets for the Barnegat Bay Sailing Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony are $75. For information, call Ocean County College’s Office of Student Life at 732-255-0348.

Bayville School Awarded Dollar General Literacy Foundation Youth Literacy Grant
BAYVILLE – H & M Potter Elementary School received a $1,358 youth literacy grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.

Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm. If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.
Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

Christie Sets Aside $42M To Sandy-Impacted Towns
By Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER – The state is funneling $42 million in funding to towns impacted by Superstorm Sandy, through the FEMA Non-Federal Cost Share (“Match”) Program, Gov. Chris Christie announced at East Dover Fire House August 26. Christie came to the firehouse, one of several in Toms River that saw its apparatus and facilities impacted by Sandy, to make the announcement that local towns would now be eligible for this funding. Toms River, one of the hardest hit towns among the nine counties the new funding is available for, saw a $2 billion loss in ratables destroyed by the storm. A share of $42 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Disaster Recovery funds will be set aside to cover the 10 percent portion towns were not reimbursed from FEMA. Local governments have until October 18 to apply. Officials said Toms River could be eligible from $2 million reimbursement through this state program. “Following Superstorm Sandy, communities faced tremendous rebuilding, emergency protective and resiliency costs, and even though FEMA paid 90 percent of the cost, the 10 percent local portion was close to or exceeded $1 million for some municipalities, resulting in a financial burden for local governments and their taxpayers,” said Governor Christie. “Rather than see property taxes increase in these hard hit communities, the State is stepping in to cover these costs through this newly expanded Match Program.” The money can reimburse for Sandy-related activities as debris removal and emergency protective measures, including search and rescue, demolition of structures, sandbag levees, emergency pumping and emergency sheltering. Previously, the Match Program funded state projects, such as paying to repair state roads damaged by Sandy, or for the Department of Environmental Protection or State Police efforts. Christie said that with enough Match Program funding reserved for State agency projects, local projects can now join the program and
seek reimbursement. The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, which administers CDBG Disaster Recovery funding for the state, is now accepting applications for the funding from local governments. “We are proud to make Match Program funding available and to continue being a resource that Sandy-impacted communities can rely on until they are fully recovered,” said DCA Commissioner Charles A. Richman. At the East Dover Fire House visit, Christie spoke to a crowd of state and local officials, reporters and Toms River residents and fire personnel, with the apparatus bay converted into a press conference for the event, a fire truck positioned behind the governor’s lectern. The fire house had to temporarily operate out of High School East in the immediate hours after the storm, since its firehouse was among areas flooded in East Dover and Fischer Boulevard. Mayor Tom Kelaher helped to introduce the governor, saying that Toms River, in particular Ortley Beach, saw destruction from Sandy that totaled $2 billion loss in ratables that Business Administrator Paul Shives said continues to impact the financing of the town’s budget into 2017. It’s also impacted Toms River Regional School District, who cut 15 positions to close up its funding shortfall. Christie said the State is prepared to fully fund the 10-percent portion for all projects that are deemed eligible for the Match Program. Potentially 405 local government entities may be eligible for reimbursement of their 10 percent cost share for potentially 1,055 Sandy recovery projects. If all eligible local government entities submit applications for all eligible projects, total funding for the Match Program would be approximately $42 million. Local governments must submit their applications to DCA’s Sandy Recovery Division by October 18, with appropriate documentation, in order to be considered for Match Program funds. Applications are available on the Sandy Recovery Program’s website at renewjerseystronger. org/communities.

Local Survivor Supports Heart Walk At Jersey Shore LAKEWOOD – On October 29, Christine Rochelle of Wall, a congenital heart defect and stroke survivor, will walk to raise awareness about heart disease and stroke as she serves as survivor ambassador for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s Shoreline Heart Walk at FirstEnergy Park, home of the Lakewood BlueClaws. Shortly after birth, Rochelle was diagnosed with pulmonary valve stenosis, a thickened or fused heart valve that does not allow proper blood flow from the heart to the lungs. After a successful surgery at 6 months old, Rochelle was able to live a full life with minimal restrictions. Then at 27, Rochelle experienced a mild stroke that prompted additional testing with her cardiologist. Although she suffered no residual effects from the stroke, her cardiologist found another congenital heart defect, and a few months later, Rochelle had surgery which successfully fixed the defect. She now has yearly checkups with her cardiologists, but is able to live a full life without restrictions. As survivor ambassador of the event, Rochelle will help rally businesses, community groups and individual walkers to support the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s mission of building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. She will share her story with attendees on walk day to help raise critical funds to support heart and stroke research. “My experience has made me realize that we need more research and awareness around heart disease and stroke,” states Rochelle. “The Shoreline Heart Walk is great opportunity for the community to come together for a great cause and to learn more about living healthier.” The Shoreline Heart Walk brings hundreds of Monmouth and Ocean County families, organizations and businesses together annually for a fun event filled with cardiovascular wellness, thanks to the support from local sponsors including Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey Natural Gas, RWJBarnabas, CentraState, Food Circus

Ocean County Comic Stopped At Quarter�inals
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 post to fans. “We love you guys and will never forget the support and love you showed us back. Thank you!” But Scotti doesn’t have too much time to mourn what might have been. Her schedule is booked solid with comedy shows in New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, and of course, New Jersey. Scotti took to her social media outlets after her AGT stint to thank fans. “I am so happy to of had this experience. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of your support I love you all!” Scotti wrote Aug. 26, safe and sound in the Garden State.
Scotti emerged from backstage to George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone” and performed a three-minute set about still being single despite her looks. But she loves the single life. “I was married. I suck at it,” she told the audience. “And if I ever get married again it’s going to be to a 90-year-old, chain-smoking billionaire who’s about two cheeseburgers away from ‘til death do us part.” She said she might, however, consider a prisoner in Minnesota she only has to visit once a year. Scotti spoke with The Berkeley 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.
Get Ready For Pretty In Pink/Handsome In Blue Day
OCEAN COUNTY – Planning has begun for this year’s Pretty in Pink Day which has been changed to Pretty in Pink/Handsome in Blue Day, which will be celebrated on October 19, recognizing both men and women who have had or are living with any type of cancer, said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “This is the 14th year of Pretty in Pink and although we are still focusing on breast cancer, it is time for us to include and also focus on every type of cancer that affects both women and men. This day is a collaborative effort of the Ocean County Health Department, the Long Beach Island Health Department, the Ocean County Department of Human Services, the Ocean/Monmouth Health Alliance, the Ocean County Advisory Commission on the Status of Women and the Ocean County Library,” he said. “By having all of these agencies partner together, we are being proactive in our efforts to promote good health and healthy habits for men and women,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who is liaison to the Ocean County
Advisory Commission on the Status of Women. “I am pleased to support these events and happy the Advisory Commission and all of our partners take such an active role in making certain our citizens have access to services and information that promote a healthier lifestyle.” Daniel Regenye, OCHD public health coordinator, said that this event grows year by year. He said every year we have participation from many of our schools, businesses and community organizations. Regenye said, “With the growth of Ocean County, we feel it is important to take this one day and focus on all of our residents who have been affected by any type of cancer. We like to feel that even if one person looks at our resources and makes an appointment for a necessary screening, we have made a difference….but we know that each year during Pretty in Pink, many women have picked up the phone and made an appointment for their mammography. Now we hope people will look at the other screenings available and take advantage.” Visit the Ocean County Health Department’s website at ochd.org.

Tips For Understanding Hearing Loss And Hearing Aids The more loss you have, the less effective the hearing aids will be. Hearing aids cannot bring back hearing that is gone. In the past, physicians have told patients that if you have “nerve damage,” it cannot be helped with hearing aids. On the contrary, most people who are successfully wearing hearing aids have nerve damage or what we refer to as “sensorineural” hearing loss. Everyone does not get the same amount of benefit from hearing aids. It depends on your loss and particular situation. The more background noise that is present, the harder it will be to hear. Even normal hearing people hear less as the background noise increases. The better the hearing aid, the better you can expect to do. In quiet situations, many hearing
aid wearers can expect near normal hearing. Hearing aids should allow you to hear speech more clearly with less effort. Hearing aids should help to prevent others from noticing your hearing loss. Hearing aids should help to put you back in touch with your family and social activities. It is important to remember all hearing losses are different and the benefits you received from your hearing aid may be different from others. A hearing aid is less conspicuous than your hearing loss. If you suspect that you have hearing loss, the first step is to get professional evaluation from an audiologist. Getting realistic expectations from the evaluation can help you decide to move forward. Take that first step. Hearing aid technology has never been better.
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.

NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.”
“This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.” Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center. To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive, call toll free: 1-800933-2566 or visit nybloodcenter.org.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Prescription Medications That Make You Anxious By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
You wake up at 4 a.m. feeling tired, but wired and you keep twirling some person or event in your head, never going back to sleep. Something bad is going to happen today and you just k now it! Your chest pounds and you feel dread when you think about going to that event or speaking to a certain someone. These are the symptoms of anxiety, and some of you live with this every day, several times a day. Ruminating in a state of fear, panic or anxiety can cause other symptoms in your body that over time, wear your adrenals out and lead to severe insomnia, depression and high blood pressure. Stress can also cause ulcers. There’s a difference between an anxiety or panic attack and generalized anxiety disorder or GAD. The difference is one is finite and quick and the other is constant. GAD sufferers often expect the worse, when there’s no real reason for concern or they may fret about health, money, family or work issues. When you find that these intrusive thoughts are occupying much of your day, it’s time to do something about it. As a pharmacist, I bet you think that I’m going to recommend a tranquilizer, but I’m not. That is the worst, possibly thing you could do and I rarely recommend drug treatment for this. In fact, I hold the opposite belief. I actually want you to consider the fact that a medication you take is causing the anxiety and changes in your mood. For almost 7 million folks with GAD, it’s
very possible that most of them are taking a medication that induces anxiety. Here’s the list of some of the worst possible offenders, you are going to be stunned. If you take any of these, speak to your doctor because you will need to find a suitable alternative or follow very careful tapering instructions. Stopping suddenly could be a disaster. Here goes: Tranquilizers. Shocker isn’t it?! The medicine you may be taking to relax can actually lead to anxiety and panic attacks. According to a 1995 study, it was known that in almost half the patients seeking advice for anxiety, panic and phobias, the cause was either alcohol or benzodiazepine drugs like clonazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam and others. The mechanism is complicated, but it’s due to a rebound arousal. Getting off these drugs is a nightmare, so I’d say don’t even start. Allergy medicines. It’s in the pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant. This is a stimulant and can cause you to feel anxious. Sleeping medicine. It’s hard to believe but these drugs don’t put you into a restful, natural sleep. Oftentimes, they steal your REM sleep, and so over time you actually become sleep-deprived. Anxiety sets in. Asthma inhalers. The albuterol in these medications is the offender, it’s great to help open up breathing passageways, but it causes a person to feel stressed and hyperactive.

businesses will be in a much better position to survive a natural disaster or terror attack. The longer your business is not operating, the more likely you are to lose customers permanently to your competitors. The New Jersey Business Action Center helps business owners focus on “emergency preparedness” so they can possess the capability to respond to save lives, property and return to normal operations after a disaster occurs. Because up to 40 percent of small businesses never re-open following a disaster, here are five recommended strategies to help small businesses prepare – and survive – the worst: House documents on the cloud, not your office computer: Most businesses keep on-site records and files that are essential to normal operations. To reduce your vulnerability, determine which records, files, and materials are most important and back them up. These may include income tax forms, QuickBooks files, customer contact lists, strategy documents and passwords.

From there, save these files on the cloud using an affordable service like Dropbox, Google Docs or Box so you can access them from anywhere. Keep office property secure: Raise computers above the flood level and move them away from large windows; move heavy and fragile objects to low shelves, and secure equipment that could move or fall during an earthquake. In addition, hire a cyber security expert to make sure your systems are secure and virus free. Protect your most important documents, credit card numbers, email correspondence and more by hiring an expert to set up a secure system well in advance. Plan for business continuity: Establish a clear plan for decision-making if the business owner is incapacitated. Ensure passwords as well as keys, alarm codes, phone forwarding, etc., are provided to trusted employees in the event of a disaster. Consider fi nancial obligations you will have during interruption, such as payroll and debt service, and ensure a system is in place to pay bills electronically. Establish a social media presence for your business (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter), and use the social media tools to communicated with your customers about your business’ status. Make sure your insurance is current: Review your insurance coverage with an agent or your insurance center; specifically check the status of your business’s interruption insurance. If disaster occurs, you can file a business interruption insurance claim detailing lost income and steps required before the business can reopen. For insurance and tax purposes, be sure to maintain written and photographic inventories of all important materials and equipment – and store in a safety deposit box if possible. Consider installing an emergency generator: Power outages are commonplace during disasters, and they may last for several days. As a result, even businesses that are not severely damaged can suffer losses because of the interruption of normal operations or the loss of perishable stock. You can reduce these losses and speed the recovery process by installing an emergency generator in advance. Although we can’t prevent man-made or natural disasters, business owners can take proactive measures to minimize disruption and reduce loss so you can return to normal operations as soon as possible.

NJNG Holds Energy Assistance Days
NEW JERSEY – If you are struggling to make ends meet, paying your energy bill does not need to be a burden. Whether a family or an individual is on a limited income or faced with unanticipated financial hardship, there are energy assistance and home energy-improvement programs available. From mid-September through early October, New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) will host its annual Energy Assistance Days throughout Monmouth, Ocean and Morris counties. Representatives from NJNG and state-designated agencies will be available to work with members of the community to identify which programs best fit their needs and assist with the application process. To qualify and apply for energy-assistance programs, participants must provide proof of identification, proof of income and social security cards for all household members, proof of home ownership or rental agreement and recent copies of both natural gas and electric utility bills. On October 1, the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) will begin accepting applications for the 2016-2017 heating season. LIHEAP and the state’s Universal Service Fund (USF) help income-eligible households meet home heating and medically necessary cooling costs. Moreover, households that exceed LIHEAP and USF income thresholds and experiencing temporary or unanticipated fi nancial hardship may qualify for NJNG’s Gift of Warmth fund, in addition to the state-sponsored Payment Assistance Gas and Electric and Temporary Relief for Utility Expenses grants as well as the NJ SHARES program. Other energy assistance or home energy-improvement programs are available to help reduce energy costs. Attend one of the upcoming Energy Assis-

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

Seek Some Help To Work Out The Differences
Dear Joel, I have an issue that I haven’t been able to discuss with anyone else and decided to w r ite to you r colum n. About two years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. As you can imagine it was a f r ightening exper ience and all th i ngs considered I am doi ng well. I did undergo many forms of treatment which changed some of my sensations, gait and certainly outlook on life. The good news is that I have been cancer free. I am celebrating a new sense of health that I didn’t appreciate before this happened. Here is my problem. My husband was always a very physical man. Since my illness, I have no appetite for sex and find him very insensitive. There has been a lot of tension in our home and I would like your opinion as to who is right and who is wrong. Answer First of all thank you for writing. I must start by saying that although many people think that I am a physician. That is not the case. That being said, working in home health care for as long as I have, I hear many per-
sonal stories. Yo u r s i t u a tion is not unique. There are many reasons why couples drift apart sexually, even when illness has not been an issue in the relationship. Your last sentence of “who is right in this sit uation” is an interesting one. I am less concerned about who is r ight and more concer ned with helping you as there really isn’t a r ig ht or w rong. Althoug h, I can’t be certain, my guess is that the two of you will not be able to work this out by yourselves. I suggest seeking a marriage counselor, sex therapist or other mental health professional. The answer may be right in front of you but neither of you knowing how to find it by yourselves. I wish you good health and truly hope that you can work through your differences Joel 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

Veterans See� To Help, Honor Other Vets
–Photo by Jennifer Peacock Ernest “Larry” St. Laurant receives a certificate of appreciation for his service in the U.S. Army during the Korean War from Don O’Connell, executive director of New Jersey Veterans Helping Veterans Nationwide. By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – What moved him the most was seeing homeless veterans. Don O’Connell had to do something. Himself a Cold War U.S. Army veteran, O’Connell joined with other veterans and their supporters to create New Jersey Veterans Helping Veterans Nationwide, a nonprofit organization that seeks to help veterans and their family in myriad ways. He founded it back in 2011 and is executive director. “I found that so many organizations are not helping veterans on the local level, and that’s how we started, on the local level,” O’Connell said. Today, people volunteer from Florida, Kansas, Illinois, and several other states. NJVHVN recently paid the monthly mortgage of a veteran unable to, and one veteran’s family’s electric bill. They are currently raising funds to provide service dogs to two Marine veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. But sometimes, NJVHVH simply offers a thanks. The day O’Connell met with The Jackson Times, he was visiting decorated Korean War Army veteran Ernest “Larry” St. Laurant at Sunrise of Jackson, an assisted living facility on County Line Road. O’Connell met St. Laurant while visiting a family member who resides there as well. He received a certificate of appreciation from O’Connell, thanking him for his service to the country. “We’re up to 5,000 of these certificates that we’re giving out to fellow veterans, thanking them for their service,” O’Connell said. St. Laurant, 85, declined to be interviewed but did allow the photographer to get a picture of him receiving his certificate. “This man is an incredible man,” one worker said about St. Laurant. “He’s spoken
to Congress. He’s been an avid speaker on behalf of the veterans for years. He’s been honored in parades. It’s amazing.” The Army started a program called Freedom Team Salute in 2005; that program offered certificates to honorably discharged Army, National Guard and Reserve veterans, their families and supporters. The program delivered more than 2.3 million commendations but ceased operations in 2010. O’Connell said his group picked up where Freedom Team Salute left off. O’Connell became emotional talking about the help so many veterans need, needs that often go unmet. “These men and women have done so much for this country,” he said. “What started this, is started seeing a lot of homeless veterans. Then we found that some veterans were being thrown out of their houses because they were behind on their mortgages. We just decided something had to be done.” He has seen that many of them suffer from PTSD. According to statistics cited by NJVHVN, 22 veterans commit suicide each day. That’s one reason the organization wants to raise money for a service dog. The Train A Dog Save A Warrior program specially trains dogs to work with PTSD affected veterans. “It’s the turmoil that they went through in combat, then coming home and having nobody recognize them or call them ‘baby killers,’” O’Connell said. “It’s our way as a veteran to say thank you, and that’s what we’re doing.” NJVHVN is a 501C3 organization that seeks to “assist disabled and needy veterans of the United States Armed Forces, their dependents, widows and orphans of deceased veterans, including present members of the United States Armed Forces.” For more information, visit njvhvn.org.

Business Profile By Robert D. Verderese Those who want an alternative to the talk show format need not look any further. Tune in to “Preferred Company” with Joel Markel, President and owner of “Preferred Home Health Care” and his co-host, M ar ianne Lev y, airing 8 to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday, on WOBM-AM (1160 and 1310). Chock-full of fun and friendly talk, along with game shows, trivia contests, nostalgia and celebrity inter views, “Preferred Company” is the perfect blend of good conversation and entertainment that is sure to please. While there are many dimensions to “ Pre ferred Company,” the one that listeners are immediately struck by is the wonderful chemistry between Joel and Marianne: “It’s like we can read each other’s minds,” Marianne says. Moreover, when you li ste n to “ Pr efe r r e d C o m p a ny,” you cannot miss the spec i a l c o nn e c tion that Joel and Marianne have: “ There really is a comfort and lightness between us that allows us to bring out the best in one another,” Joel adds. So what is it besides “good chemistry” between Joel and Marianne that makes “Preferred Company” stand out from the crowd? Well, for starters, the show’s format is almost entirely unscripted: “ We don’t know what we’re going to talk about five minutes before the show goes on the air,” Marianne

admits. For some in the radio business, the idea to do a show with no script would be a frightening prospect, but at “Preferred Company,” it is the only way to do a radio show. For instance, Joel desc r ibes the unique ness of the show in the following way: “What makes our show special is how natural the format is—it’s like we’re having coffee with you at a restaurant where any subject can be discussed at any time.” To be sure, “Preferred Company” distinguishes itself from many radio shows in that it is consistently interactive by way of phone calls and emails. Unlike many other talk shows that rarely, if ever, take phone calls or respond to emails, “Preferred Company” considers interacting with their audience as an essential part of the program.

People f rom all around the world listen to Joel and Marianne via this App: “We love “Radiopup” and how it allows us to connect with people from all types of backgrounds. It really gives our show another level of c onnectivit y — it ’s wonderful!” says Marianne. Speaking of wonderful, let’s not forget about Joel’s lovable puppy Oliver and Marianne’s “favorite,” Norman: “I love dogs and love to share dog stories with our listeners,” says Marianne. Discussing everything from the smar test

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Showcase: Classic Soup Features Smorgasbord Of Veggies By Wolfgang Puck
Anyone who knows me, has eaten in my restaurants or reads my cookbooks probably knows how much I love vegetable soup. After all, I grew up in a small house with a big garden, the harvest from which helped my mother and grandmother feed our family of six every day. Often, that meant adding generous bowlfuls of freshly cut up vegetables into a big pot simmering away on our stovetop. We lived in Austria, not far from the Italian border. So it’s not surprising that one of my favorite home-cooked meals featured some version or other of the classic Italian soup called minestrone. And I say “some version or other” for a good reason. The word “minestrone” literally means “that which is served,” meaning that the soup is really whatever results from what a home cook might find in the garden, the pantry or the refrigerator. In other words, minestrone can vary greatly not only with the seasons but with the personality and style of the person cooking it as well as with the occasion itself. Every home and restaurant cook has his or her own version, and I know of many cooks - myself included - who almost never make minestrone exactly the same way twice. So I’d like to offer you a recipe for the version of the soup that I think works perfectly in late summer. It abounds with some of the produce you’re likely to find in farmers’ markets or pick from your own vegetable garden, including fresh shell beans such as kidney beans, green beans and yellow wax beans. But I’d like to emphasize that you should feel free to follow this recipe only as a basic blueprint. You can add diced zucchini or other thin-skinned summer squash, for example, if that’s what you have a bounty of in your garden, substituting them for the fresh beans if you like. Or add more tomatoes for a brighter red, sweeter tasting soup; or use yellow onion instead of the leek. Just be sure to start cooking firmer-textured vegetables earlier and add quick-cooking ones later in the process, so everything will be cooked to the right tender-but-firm consistency. You can also feel free to leave out the few slices of prosciutto, which I add for the hint of rich, meaty flavor they contribute, if you’d like a vegetarian soup. Whatever selections you include, you’ll find this yields a robust soup so satisfying that you could make a meal of it, which is why I also include instructions for making Parmesan-topped, oven-baked toasts to serve alongside. So please try your own version of minestrone soon and enjoy the best of the season. HEARTY VEGETABLE MINESTRONE WITH PARMESAN TOASTS Serves 6 For the minestrone: 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for seasoning and serving 1 1/2 large leeks, white and pale green parts only, thoroughly rinsed and cut crosswise into thin slices
1 large fennel bulb, tops trimmed and reserved for garnish, bulb coarsely chopped 4 thin slices prosciutto, coarsely chopped (optional) 2 stalks celery, diced 1/2 cup (125 mL) shelled fresh kidney beans or other fresh shell beans 1 large tomato, seeded and diced 2 rounded teaspoons minced garlic 1 small sprig fresh rosemary, cut in half 2 quarts (2 L) good-quality canned vegetable stock or chicken stock 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned tomato sauce 1 cup (250 mL) diced firm, mild-tasting mushrooms such as shimeji, trumpet, cremini, or regular cultivated mushrooms Kosher salt 2/3 cup (165 mL) uncooked small dried pasta tubes, such as elbow macaroni or tubetti 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped green beans, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces 1/2 cup chopped yellow wax beans, cut into 1/2inch (12-mm) pieces 1 tablespoon honey Freshly ground black pepper 3 large sprigs fresh basil, plus extra small sprigs for garnish For the Parmesan toasts: 6 thin slices whole-grain bread 3/4 cup (185 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling For the minestrone, heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and fennel and saute, stirring frequently, until they just begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the prosciutto, celery, kidney beans, tomato, garlic, and half the rosemary. Saute 5 minutes longer. Stir in the stock, tomato sauce and mushrooms. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, in another pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time, then drain. While the soup continues cooking, make the Parmesan Toasts. Preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Place the bread slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with the Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until the bread is well toasted and the cheese has melted and browned, about 10 minutes. Add the green and yellow beans to the soup. Season with salt. Stir in the honey. Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 30 minutes total simmering time. Stir in the drained pasta. Season with pepper. Add the basil and remaining rosemary piece. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Reduce the heat to very low and simmer for a few minutes more. Remove the herb sprigs. Ladle the soup into heated bowls and garnish with fresh basil sprigs or other herb blossoms. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve with Parmesan toasts.
