–Photos of Heritage Minerals tract by Manchester Times and Pinelands Preservation Alliance By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – It’s thousands of acres, owned by Hovsons, and what will become of it is a question that has dragged on for more than a decade. Most recently, plans to redevelop the Heritage Minerals tract had been up in the air after a June
veto by the mayor. But late 2016 Hovsons and Manchester officials met in executive session to discuss the Heritage Minerals tract, a parcel of more than a thousand acres that could possible see thousands of homes. The tract, also known as Sarco, stretches from
Route 37 into Whiting and the border of Berkeley and Toms River. Though the November 28 discussion was behind closed doors, it marks the next step
County To Buy Another Roosevelt City Tract
By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – Included in the last land buy through the county Natural Lands Trust funds, 11 acres in Roosevelt City will be preserved as open space. An 11-acre site in Manchester in the Roosevelt City neighborhood complements a previous open-space purchase the county made there, said Ocean County
in what would be presented for the Heritage Minerals tract. The matter was labeled for executive session due to contract negotiation. (Heritage - See Page 5)
Freeholder John Bartlett. The parcel has a $105,000 price. The acreage was one of several land buys that was up for a public hearing late December. Next in the process is title searches, said the freeholder. Larger parcels include 95 acres in western Barnegat-Waretown and a 13-acre parcel in Berkeley that was slated for development. Bartlett said the purchases use the county’s (County - See Page 5)

The contract was awarded to Electrical Design and Construction Corp., also known as EDC Electric, based in Shrewsbury.

Township To Use TR For Police Dispatch Upgrade
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The township will upgrade its computer aided dispatch and save taxpayers money by entering an agreement with a neighboring town. The township originally sought to purchase the Spillman Technologies Software through a state contract, but a recommendation from Police Chief Lisa Parker made council change its course. The township will instead enter an agreement with Toms River as host agency, with Manchester entering a one-year contract. Manchester police Lt. Robert Dolan provided (Dispatch - See Page 4)

Dispatch:
Continued From Page 1 information about the township’s contract through the clerk’s office. According to Dolan, the township will save more than $150,000 in hardware costs and $267,000 in software costs with its agreement with Toms River. It’s not a move to use their dispatchers, but to share the dispatch software. “The Spillman system is the police CAD - Computer Aided Dispatch system. Manchester is using an outdated system and is looking to move to the Spillman system. Last year Ocean County began a countywide CAD system project with Spillman, however I am being told there have been issues with getting their system up and

running so Manchester began seeking alternates,” councilman Brendan Weiner told The Manchester Times. Toms River’s system has been in place nine years, he said. “Manchester reached out to Toms River regarding their system that has been in operation for over nine years and through this the towns found a mutually beneficial relationship with sharing this service,” the councilman said. Weiner, who abstained from voting to authorize the contract because he works for Toms River, nonetheless spoke highly of Spillman. “My full-time employer is Toms River Township and one of my tasks in Toms River is to maintain the mapping side of the Spillman System. In all likelihood, I will be
performing some of the mapping side of the system setup/maintenance for Manchester as well,” Weiner said. “Out of the extreme side of caution I abstained from the vote because this agreement is between both of my employers and down the road I want things to be clear as day that I abstained from this vote.” Spillman Technologies, Inc., out of Salt Lake City, provides “public safety software” to police departments and other law enforcement agencies and first responders. “The Spillman Dispatch System is used to process emergency calls from the public requesting police, fi re, medical or other emergency services. Dispatchers determine the nature and location of the emergency; determine priorities, and dispatch police, fire, ambulance or other emergency units as necessary,” the Toms River Police com-
munications department website explains. The township will pay Toms River $375 per Manchester Township Spillman user. It was unknown at press time how many users Manchester would have. “Toms River and Manchester Township going forward will have access to certain shared data since the two systems are linked; however, the two systems will be completely partitioned from one another on the Toms River system. Other police departments have not been linked to Manchester Police Department’s servers or databases prior to this agreement,” Dolan said. Manchester will store offense reports, arrest reports and limited suspect and calls for service data on the Spillman system. Dolan said the specifics will be worked out as the project progresses.
HVAC system” instead, which council did in December. Department of Public Works director Al Yodakis said the system is entirely new. “This will be ventilation and electric for heating system in the future,” he said. There was no immediate timeframe given for the work to begin. According to the township, the complex
used to be a wooded parcel of 40 acres, but is now a full-sized football field, practice field, concessions, playground and parking for 100 cars. The complex was completed back in 2002. The township owns the barn. Mayor Kenneth Palmer said current recreation department head Tracey Lynch purchased the structure when she was Pop
Warner president and “got a great deal on it.” He was unsure how long ago it was purchased; Lynch could not be reached be press time. “Refurbishing the cheer barn will be a huge benefit to AYF and the township. We now have a place to run programs,” Palmer said. “It’s definitely a win for the entire town.”

Heritage:
Continued From Page 1 A township official told The Manchester Times that Hovsons is proposing 3,700 homes on the original 1,000 acres, a mix of single family homes, age-restricted homes. Hovsons, the developer of the Heritage Minerals site, has been trying to develop that tract of land for decades. With Mayor Kenneth Palmer, they created a “Heritage Minerals Working Group” to brainstorm and finally present an idea for developing that land. The developer already has the approval to build 2,400 age-restricted homes. But there is a surplus of senior housing existing in Manchester, and the housing crash in 2008, sent Hovsons back to the drawing board years ago. They abandoned those plans in hopes of creating a “town center” with townhomes, single-family homes and stores. That redevelopment plan proposed 6,543 housing units, which neither Hovons nor the township thought would be approved by the state. However, they aimed high in the hopes that even a portion of those numbers would be approved.
County:
Continued From Page 1 Natural Land Trust fund to buy land in need of preservation that is often at risk for development. Wells Mills Parcel The county is hoping to grow the amount of land preserved around the existing Wells Mills County Park, and plans to use $635,000 in open space funds to buy the 95 acres. The purchase is near the county park and the scout campgrounds in western Barnegat and Waretown. In the case of this tract, the parcel surrounds land already preserved but used for the park and campgrounds. This land will not be turned into more parkland but will be open space, said the freeholder, who is the liaison to the Ocean County Parks Department. “This was an attractive preservation,” Bartlett said by phone recently. The Lynette Land Company owned much of the lots for the land buy. The public hearing held late December paves the way for the county to pursue title searches and other paperwork before
The Manchester Times, January 21, 2017, Page 5 The plan met with fierce opposition from the public, who packed planning board meetings to protest it. While the plan passed both the planning board and council, although not at council unanimously, that plan was vetoed by Palmer and withdrawn from the council. “As promised, since the Council’s approval of the Redevelopment Plan, we have sought input from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). They have indicated development beyond the 2004 settlement agreement’s 1,000 acre ‘footprint’ would be extremely difficult given the various environmental issues, permit requirements, and effects on threatened and endangered species,” said Palmer, in explaining his veto back in June. Officials publicly have been quiet about the Heritage Minerals site since then, only saying that they have to meet with Hovsons to negotiate a new plan. Previously, township officials said they would like to see that land developed, to offset some of the heavy tax burden on residents. However, opponents of the site plans say it will cost the taxpayers more for schools, police, and public works.
buying the property, he said. “We don’t care who we buy it from, the important part is does it fit the program and is the price right,” said the freeholder. Negotiated prices come based on current value but the process often takes so long that the county will wait until real estate markets decrease before making an offer, he said. “This is a medium-sized purchase.” More Open Space The December hearing also asked the public whether the county should pursue several other land buys: A small parcel in Beachwood surrounding government offices there. The two small lots are less than a quarter acre in size. County would buy for $500. A controversial development site slated for multi-family apartments off Route 9 in Berkeley. The 13-acre site from Berkeley Family Apartments will instead be preserved as open space. It adjoins the Florence T. Allen nature preserve and Mill Creek. Of the $865,000 price, half of that will be paid by the county and the remaining through the National Trust for Public Land. Bartlett said the county will move forward to purchase each tract.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
FEATURED LETTER Fix The State Instead Of The Statehouse The New Jersey Libertarian Party opposes Governor Christie’s proposed $300 million renovation of the statehouse. W hile New Jersey citizens are exploited by high taxes and our children suffer from inadequate education, it is unfathomable for politicians to be wasting taxpayer dollars on their own opulence. Christie says portions of the statehouse are in danger of a “catastrophic failure.” The real catastrophic failu re is what happens inside the statehouse. While Republicans and Democrats quibble over inconsequential distractions New Jersey veers closer and closer to insolvency. Christie argues the building must be protected because “It was passed down, literally, by our founding fathers.” The true legacy of New Jersey’s found-
ing fathers is standing up for liberty. Yet today most New Jerseyans enjoy neither the liberty nor the prosperity espoused by our state motto. “To leave the statehouse in this condition is an embarrassment,” Christie says, “and quite frankly it’s shameful.” To the citizens of New Jersey the most embarrassing and shameful part of the statehouse is the corruption and waste of taxpayer money it produces year after year. The statehouse is a symbol of everything broken by the two-party system in New Jersey. Before we fix a playground for politicians let’s fix the state itself. Libertarians are New Jersey’s third largest and fastest-growing party. We believe liberty is the foundation of justice and a peaceful, prosperous America. Patrick McKnight NJLP Chair

Residents Should Attend Crucial Meeting As a follow up to the article concerning the meeting regarding the gas pipelines in Ocean County, that meeting will be held on January 24 at St. Ann’s Church in Browns Mills at 9:30 a.m. All residents are encouraged to attend this crucial meeting that will address the effects of the quality of lives here in Ocean County. Hopefully, residents have been aware of the situations in Flint, Mich., and Standing Rock. It is not inconceivable that similar, if not worse, disasters could occur here in Ocean County. So, again, residents are encouraged to attend this crucial meeting that will affect all Ocean County residents. Pat Reed Toms River
Do The Youth Really Need To Protest T he ele ct ion is ove r and we have a new president-elect. We the people had a choice and a decision was reached. The choice was the fi rst woman or a man who was not a part of the political machine. The man lacked in political background and the woman was loaded with old baggage. It was a hardfought battle and the man won. So Donald Trump will be our new president. The odds were against him.
Letters To The Editorone of its kind in the entire The pollsters said he didn’t Fire Company stand a chance. He fooled them and won. There are those who cannot accept the fact that Hillary Clinton lost. But she did, so accept the fact and go on. Many of our young people will not accept the facts and have decided to protest. There is nothing wrong with protesting as long as these young people stay within the “law” and don’t destroy other people’s property. There are certain organizations that are also against the new president. They too are having the children do their work. We are a country that was founded on Free Speech, again, as long as the law is not broken. Time will pass and this movement will fi zzle out. If the youth really want to help, get behind our new president and help the country to grow stronger rather than ripping it apart. Never forget the country comes first and it is our duty to protect it. It is okay to protest, but know when you have lost, and accept it. As far as depor tation of those who entered the country illegally, give the president-elect the time to enter office and see what his programs are. Then, if you wish to, protest. The young have put the cart before the horse. So I say to the young, go back to school and learn, and give our new president a chance to get on his feet before you fi nd fault.

Veterans’ Memorial Unique In Country On behalf of everyone at the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation (NJVVMF) and those we serve, best wishes for health and prosperity as we enter a brand new year. Each year at this time, I am grateful for the opportunity to remind New Jersey residents about a wonderful state resource — and the opportunity to support that resource — the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial, Vietnam Era Museum and Educational Center. The New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial pays tribute to the 1,563 New Jerseyans who did not return home from the Vietnam War. It’s located on the grounds of the PNC Bank Arts Center at Exit 116 Garden State Parkway, Holmdel. Last year, we were honored to welcome both Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno and State Senate President Steve Sweeney at Foundation events honoring their roles in establishing and supporting our site—the only
country. 2016 marked fifty years since I first landed in Vietnam after being drafted by the U.S. Army. As Executive Director of the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation, I join our board, staff and volunteers in fulfilling and advancing our mission. Together, we offer experiences at the memorial and adjacent museum that recognize the sacrifices, courage and valor of Vietnam veterans. NJVVMF operates an important and unique place where we educate all ages on the Vietnam War era through ceremonies, exhibitions, events and programs. Letters, artifacts and video testimonies share rare, personal experiences. Visitors learn history from those who lived it, through our free, Vietnam veteran volunteer-led tours. Each year we work with more than 9,000 school children and educators. Their time with the veterans is life changing for both the students and guides. Our veterans have also helped those of more recent wars through projects like our Huey helicopter restoration and Combat Paper Project. Our community should know that as a not-for-profit organization, NJVVMF is self-sustaining and we need the public’s support, both financially and through participation, to exist. With your help, we will preserve the legacy and continue to honor both those who served, and our active duty service men and women. Please remember us as we remember them. Interested residents may check line 61 on the New Jersey State tax form to make a self-designated donation. We greatly appreciate this support.

Christie Administration Wins Appeal To Extend Sandy-Related State Channel Dredging Efforts
NEW JERSEY – The Christie Administration has won an appeal with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that will provide more time and federal funds to complete the dredging of state channels clogged with sand and silt by Superstorm Sandy. This victory will improve the safety of New Jersey’s navigable coastal waterways for recreational and commercial boating and provide a long-term commitment to New Jersey’s marine transportation system. Under the favorable ruling, the state will receive an estimated $60 million or more for vital waterway recovery projects. “Superstorm Sandy devastated New Jersey’s waterways, depositing sand and silt into many state channels, creating hazards for recreation-
al boaters and commercial fishermen,” Governor Chris Christie said. “Restoring the hundreds of affected channels takes time and resources. This decision recognizes the challenges New Jersey faces in meeting the monumental task of returning our navigable waterways to a state of good repair.” “The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) has restored 12 channels to their authorized depth since Superstorm Sandy, and another 15 are currently underway,” New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Richard T. Hammer said. “But there is still much work to do. FEMA’s decision is a recognition of the magnitude of work required and the economic importance of providing safe navigable channels to
small businesses that rely on New Jersey waterways, such as marinas, bait and tackle shops, charter companies, as well as the commercial fishing industry.” “We are very pleased with this decision, as it is consistent with the need for a statewide network of safe and navigable coastal waterways,” New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Bob Martin said. “Safe navigation of these waterways is essential to the economic vitality of our coastal communities, providing recreational boaters access to marinas and docks as part of their enjoyment of the shore’s beauty. Safe channels also ensure commercial fishing vessels have reliable access to ports and fishing grounds.” Of the more than 200 chan-
nels that had some level of shoaling because of Superstorm Sandy, 131 are eligible for FEMA reimbursement. Federal regulations originally required all of the emergency dredging work to be completed by October 30, 2017. The Christie Administration’s successful appeal resulted in FEMA reclassifying the projects as permanent work and extended the deadline for completion to December 31, 2024. NJDOT and DEP worked closely with the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management, which is in charge of coordination with FEMA for the state, to facilitate the appeal process. In granting the extension, FEMA recognized the limited window of only three to four months during the year in which dredging activities are allowed in state
channels because of weather, various regulatory timing restrictions often related to protection of wetland species/ environments, as well as the constraints on availability of dredging equipment and experienced contractors. Since shortly after Sandy, NJDOT has been working to ensure safe navigation of channels while also prioritizing dredging under its comprehensive State Channel Dredging Program announced in March 2014. To date, NJDOT has completed the restoration of 12 channels to their authorized depth, with another 15 channels currently underway. DEP, NJDOT, and the Governor’s Office of Recovery and Rebuilding (GORR) have been working closely together to provide and expedite permits for state chan-
Chris Christie nel dredging projects. The DEP and NJDOT’s Office of Maritime Resources will continue to work to ensure management of dredged materials in an environmentally responsible and cost-effective manner. All channels in the New Jersey Marine Transportation System are managed and maintained by the state for their importance in connecting local and federal channels and promoting local economies. New Jersey’s recreational boating industry contributes $2.2 billion to the state economy, with more than 1,000 businesses providing nearly 12,000 jobs.
Ocean County Freeholders Set Goals For Year Ahead OCEAN COUNTY – Surrounded by family and friends, Ocean County Freeholders John P. Kelly and Virginia E. Haines were sworn to new three-year terms on the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders during the Board’s annual Organization Meeting January 4. Additionally, Freeholders Joseph H. Vicari and Gerry P. Little were named Director and Deputy Director of the Board respectively for 2017 during the meeting. “As we look ahead to 2017, I can once again promise our residents that there will be no surprises when we announce the county budget in a few months,” said Director Vicari as he gave his vision for 2017. “Under the financial direction of Freeholder (John C.) Bartlett Jr. this board will again present a budget that combines affordability with outstanding core services. “This board takes its financial responsibilities very seriously
and we can ensure you that we will not mortgage our children’s future or our grandchildren’s future,” Vicari said. Following his swearing in, Freeholder Kelly talked about the challenges facing the Board in 2017. “We have many challenges ahead of us and I know that together we will successfully meet them,” said Kelly. “Our work here is far from complete.” He noted that working with Prosecutor Joseph Coronato and Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy the county will continue the fight against “the drugs that have entered homes, neighborhoods and communities causing immense and sometimes irreversible harm. “We will continue our work to help those who are suffering with addictions and making certain those who push drugs on our citizens go to jail,” said Kelly, who serves as Director of Law and Public Safety. He added the Board will address the growth in the county
as it affects the county road network. “I look forward to ongoing discussions with municipalities to make certain we are addressing those needs so our roads are safe and up to date,” said Kelly, who also serves as liaison to engineering. Both Kelly, who is starting his ninth three-year term on the Board, and Haines were administered the oath of office by Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno. Kelly was surrounded by his wife and two of his children and Haines was joined by three long-time friends assisting in holding the Bible during her swearing in. “I have said it many times, Ocean County is the premiere county,” said Haines who was sworn into her first three-year term on the board. “We have the best county park system, library system, educational opportunities at Ocean County College and the list goes on and on. “I look forward to working in 2017 with the other freeholders in making certain Ocean Coun-
ty continues to provide the best services and is the best county,” she said. Deputy Director Little noted county government works together as a family. “It’s important to acknowledge the work of Ocean County department heads and staff members,” Little said. “They carry out the programs and services of the board with professionalism and dedication.” He noted that as liaison to the Veterans Services Bureau, he will continue to provide the best services possible for the more than 60,000 veterans calling Ocean County home. Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who is entering his 38th
consecutive year as a Freeholder, said he looked forward to the work progressing on the rebuilding of Berkeley Island County Park, Berkeley Township, and also to the grand opening of the renovated environmental center at Cattus Island County Park. “Ocean County’s park system is second to none,” said Bartlett, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. “I am very proud of the facilities we have built. Parks make a special difference in the lives of our residents. They provide a place to go for all of our citizens free of charge to enjoy nature and participate in a host
of recreational opportunities.” Vicari noted there is a number of priorities for 2017 that will be addressed, including providing the best programs possible for the county’s growing senior population, lobbying for important transportation projects and improvements and promoting more business development and tourism for Ocean County. “I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Board to provide quality services and programs to our residents, in keeping the County affordable and to make certain Ocean County continues to be the great place it is to live, work, visit, raise a family and retire,” Vicari said.

Girl Scout Cookies On Sale Now
NEW JERSEY – This year’s sale celebrates the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts selling cookies and the introduction of a new cookie, the Girl Scout S’more. A century ago, a group of Oklahoma Girl Scouts began what became a national tradition – the Girl Scout Cookie Sale. Now, Girl Scouts are celebrating the 100th anniversary of girls selling cookies and the Girl Scout Cookie Sale Program is the largest girl-led business enterprise in the world. As it was 100 years ago, money earned stays with local Girl Scouts and those proceeds fund Girl Scout activities – everything from trips and camp to community service projects. While selling Girl Scout Cookies, girls also learn five essential skills that benefit them throughout their lives. These essential skills are goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. The year’s Girl Scout Cookie Sale in Monmouth and Ocean counties began January 14. Cookies will be delivered in late February with booth sales at local businesses beginning Friday, March 3. In addition to perennial favorites like Thin Mints and Samoas, the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore added a new cookie to the mix for 2017 – the Girl Scout S’more Cookie, with a delicious mix of graham, marshmallow and

New Jersey Natural Gas Encourages Customers To Prepare For Winter Weather
NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Natural Gas gives customers these tips for staying safe in the winter weather. Ensure there is a clear path to the natural gas meter and regulator and keep the area around them free of snow and ice. Make sure the meter, piping and vents are clear, visible and accessible at all times to allow easy access by NJNG employees and first responders in case of an emergency. Use a broom or hands to gently remove snow and ice from natural gas meters, piping and vents; never bang on the meter or pipes; avoid using sharp tools or force near the meter, piping or vents. Carefully remove ice hanging from the roof over the meter and regulator. Be sure to have properly functioning smoke and CO detectors throughout the home. Seal gaps and weather strip to significantly reduce energy loss. Make sure the furnace and water heater are properly ventilated and clear of obstructions. Should snow/water get into the heating system and/or water heater, or if the natural gas meter is damaged by fallen debris, call NJNG’s 24-hour response line at 800-427-5325. If there is a gas smell, immediately leave the
premises and call 800-427-5325 from a safe location. Additionally, keep the following natural gas safety tips in mind. Do not use a lighter, cellphone or landline, switch on/off appliances, lights or even a flashlight on the premises where natural gas is smelled, as they can create a spark. Since natural gas is colorless and has no scent, a strong odorant, which smells like rotten eggs, is added to help detect possible leaks. However, some people may not be able to detect the odorant because they have a diminished sense of smell, or because the odor is being masked by other odors in the area. An unusual noise like hissing, whistling or roaring, is another indication of a possible leak. Do not attempt to turn off the natural gas service at the meter. The valve should be turned on or off by emergency utility personnel only. Do not extinguish or re-ignite a pilot light on appliances. In the event a pilot light goes out, call a qualified plumber, contractor or NJNG for a safety inspection. Should water or snow get into the heating system and/or water heater, or if the natural gas meter is damaged, call NJNG’s 24-hour response line at 800- 427-5325.

Here are a few reasons why millions of Americans will do anything to avoid wearing a hearing aid: 1: Vanity - It’s a sign of getting older and most people can’t deal with the combination of wearing glasses and other more pressing medical problems. This leads to denial in many cases. In reality, today’s hearing aids are almost invisible so vanity should not really be an issue! 2: Denial - Hearing loss is an invisible handicap that can be partially compensated for many years. A typical person who finally gets fitted for a hearing aid has waited seven years. Obviously, a lot of yelling has occurred over those years along with typical statements such as “you’re mumbling,” “I don’t always pay attention,” and “just speak up and I will hear you.” Your family needs to be honest and direct with the hearing-impaired individual so he/she can overcome denial/objections. 3: Money - Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover hearing aids. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the average cost for a pair of hearing aids is $2,800. Some insurance companies such as Aetna US Healthcare and Horizon have a small benefit ranging from $500 to $750. Since the average hearing aid lasts five years, you are spending about $1 per day (per ear) to hear better. 4: Unrealistic Expectations - We all want to hear “normally” again, but realistically,
hearing aids can only compensate for hearing loss just as eye glasses compensate for vision deficits. The word “aid” does not mean “normal” but it should suggest assistance in your ability to hear in most environments. 5: Too Many Appointments -- Better hearing takes time and patience since your brain has to adjust to all of the new sounds that you will be hearing again. Since a large majority of consumers are being fit with digital or programmable instruments, several fine-tuning sessions with a computer are required to maximize the benefits of the instrument. Most hearing health-care professionals offer at least a 30-day trial period to account for the necessary adjustments required to accomplish “better hearing.” 6: You can make yourself crazy -- For most, you may not like your hearing aids for the first week. You may complain about “everything being too sharp” or “my own voice sounds like a bad record.” However, after wearing your hearing aids consistently for several weeks, you will hopefully appreciate the “sweet nothings” that are important to you, like your son’s jokes, your spouse kibitzing, your grandchildren’s gestures or beautiful music. In summary, forget about vanity and cost and stick it in your ear. Please don’t wait seven years to face the music since this may be the first time (in a long time) that you will finally hear and understand those that you love!
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.
NJ Department Of Health Urges Residents To Test Their Homes For Radon
NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health is joining with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in urging all residents to protect their family’s health by testing their homes for radon. Governor Chris Christie issued a proclamation declaring January as Radon Action Month in the state. Radon is a naturally occurring, cancer-causing radioactive gas with no color, odor or taste. It moves from the soil and into homes through cracks and openings in the foundation. Each year, there are an estimated 566 radon-related deaths among NJ residents. One in six New Jersey homes has elevated levels of radon. Currently only 30 percent of households across the state have been tested. “Testing your home is the only way to know if your home’s radon level is high,” Health Commissioner Cathleen Bennett said. “Radon problems can be fixed by installing a radon mitigation system.” Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. It is the leading cause among non-smokers. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates
that 86 percent of radon-related lung cancer deaths occur among current or former smokers. “The risk of developing lung cancer is highest among smokers who are also exposed to radon,” Commissioner Bennett said. “If you smoke and your home has high levels of radon, your risk of getting lung cancer is especially high. In addition to testing their homes, smokers should also take steps to quit smoking.” Many New Jersey residents live in moderate- to high-risk radon areas, which vary widely across New Jersey. NJDEP has mapped radon potential by county and municipality. However, all residents are urged to test for radon since high-radon homes have been found throughout the state. Fortunately, testing for radon is simple and inexpensive. NJDEP has a list of certified companies that provide radon testing services, or residents can purchase do-it-yourself test kits from hardware stores, home centers or directly from certified companies through mail order. For more information about the NJDEP radon program, visit njradon.org, or call the NJDEP Radon Program at 800-648-0394.

Assisted Living for the Memory Impaired
Three Tips To Help You Stay Sober By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I feel like every family including mine has someone who is an alcoholic, and wishes they could stop drinking. One of my relatives has struggled with alcoholism and drug addiction since he was 14. Now, over 60 years of age, he’s still suffering. I’m sure out of the millions of you who read my articles each week, some of you actually WANT help, and need hope. I’ll give you that today. The actual part of “quitting” is not as hard as staying sober thereafter. So if you’ve made it your New Year’s resolution to stop drinking, or stop taking sedatives, sleeping pills or tranquilizers, here is some important research and information that I want to share: 1. You must have patience. Failure occurs when people give up instead of bearing with it, and holding on. Those receptors in your brain can, and do heal. You see, if you drink (or take benzodiazepine sedatives), the GABA receptors on your cells are atrophied. This means the little areas on your cells that hug GABA and pull it into your cell are dead. It’s called downregulation if you want to look it up. Time is the only thing that will allow those receptors to regrow and heal. This is why you have to be patient and have faith. The receptor sites will upregulate. 2. Supplements and medications usually backfire. The chemistry of addiction is such that these feel-good endorphins are needed constantly. So when you suddenly stop getting endorphins (in the form of alcohol, antidepressants, benzodiazepines, opiates like hydrocodone or heroin), your cells starve. The “happy” brain chemicals
aren’t there anymore. Conventional medicine’s answer to this is to prescribe medications quickly because it restores some feel-good endorphins. The problem with this (and this is common sense if you think about it) is if your receptors are downregulated, the new medication will obviously backfire. The key is to re-sensitize your receptors, not push production of endorphins, there’s nowhere for them to go, their levels spike causing terrible side effects. 3. Use micro doses of anything you want to try. Supplements that may help raise GABA are available without prescription. I don’t recommend any of them early in withdrawal, but maybe after a few months. Micro dosing is key to testing any supplement you want to try. Supplements that support your GAD enzyme are most helpful because the GAD enzyme forms the calming neurotransmitter called GABA. It’s GABA that is elevated when you drink. Two inexpensive, over-the-counter nutrients can support the GAD enzyme, and they are lysine and P5P (pyridoxal 5 phosphate) but there’s a trick to taking those. I have some more incredible information about GAD and alcohol and benzo recovery. If you would like read my extended article, I have to email it to you. Just go to my website suzycohen.com and sign up for my free newsletter. Hang on and stay focused, I believe you can heal if you give it enough time. Most people unfortunately give up too soon because they don’t know what I’ve just taught you. Share my article and help someone you love.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Delay, Deny And Defend
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Michael J. Deem of R.C. Shea & Associates Insurance companies are operated by accountants with little or no regard for the human consequences of injuries caused by their insureds or businesses. Their motive is to “delay, deny and defend” and they are the real perpetrators of insurance fraud. “The bottom line is that insurance companies make money when they don’t pay claims…They’ll do anything to avoid paying, because if they wait long enough, they know the policyholders will die.” – Mary Beth Senkewicz, former senior executive at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). When the insurance company calls you following an accident, their representative will seem sympathetic and tell you how sorry they are that you were injured. Then they will send you a pre-written, form letter expressing their concerns. At this time you are now formerly known to the insurance company as Claim #1233456000. The insurance company’s only real concern is to figure a way to profit from the premiums that you have paid over the years by not paying your claim. This is why you need to immediately call an experienced attorney to understand you legal rights. The insurance company will not voluntarily tell you all of your legal rights, since doing so will cost them money. As an experienced attorney, we at R.C. Shea & Associates have become obsessed with exposing insurance companies’ deceptive practices and the junk science they espouse through their hired guns to defeat their insured’s legitimate claims. By calling upon the experienced attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates, our job is to present the truth to the jury, and to effectively
counter defense tactics to Michael J. Deem Esq. distort the truth. If you find yourself injured as a result of an automobile collision, ask your insurance company about your right to medical expense benefits, income continuation benefits (in the event you cannot work) and essential service benefits (in the event you cannot perform household chores). If you have been injured in a trip and fall accident, you may have a right to extended medical expense benefits (Med-Pay) from the owner/occupier of the property where you were injured. Have you limited your right to seek compensation for the pain and suffering that was inflicted upon you by an irresponsible party? If you cannot answer this question then the answer is probably “yes.” Ask your insurance company why you have the Limitation on Lawsuit Option (Verbal Threshold) in your automobile insurance policy and ask them why you don’t know that such a limitation is in your policy. You will be surprised to learn that you could have avoided this (verbal threshold) trap had your insurance company told you, up front, that for a small increase in your premium you could have elected an unlimited right to pursue compensation for pain, suffering and future medical expenses. Don’t be a victim by getting caught-up in the insurance company’s trap. Don’t let them delay, deny and defend your legitimate claim. Call us for a free analysis of your automobile insurance policy.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
Dear Joel, My wife is a compulsive spender. Half the groceries she buys end up in the garbage. We have enough canned goods to last us for years. When I go into her closets, the amount of items that have new tickets hanging off of them is appalling. The same goes for her shoes. When it comes to holidays, she treats everyone with the same over-indulgence. I look at the credit card bills and am sickened by the wasted dollars each month. Answer: While it sounds as if there is a problem, you don’t tell me whether or not she works and is spending her own money. Without knowing whether or not she contributes to
household expenses, I don’t want to judge her behavior. There are many people who buy luxury cars, and that may add up to significantly more than what she is spending. As I don’t get a perfect read on what is truly going on in your home, I will suggest counseling if what you are describing is truly a disorder. There are medications that could help if it is compulsive behavior. Best of luck. 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

Court Appointed Advocates Of OC And A Birthday Wish Partner For Abuse And Neglected Children
TOMS RIVER – Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Ocean County and A Birthday Wish have partnered to help children who have been abused or neglected. Currently, there are nearly 750 of these children annually in Ocean County living in out of home placement, with more needing court advocacy every year. CASA of Ocean County exists to recruit, train and supervise community volunteers to work one-on-one with these children, advocating for their best interests in the court system. Essentially, CASA volunteers “speak up” for these children in the court and child welfare systems, making sure they are safe and well-cared for, are getting the services they need, and are placed in a permanent, safe, nurturing home as quickly as possible. A Birthday Wish, located in Westfield, will bring some joy to the children served by CASA of Ocean County by granting each child’s birthday wish. Founded by Jane Hoffman in 2014, A Birthday Wish grants the birthday wishes of children in New Jersey foster care. To date, they have granted well over 1,000 birthday wishes throughout ten New Jersey counties. “Many of these children are victims of abuse or neglect, some have lost a parent, they need to know they matter on their birthday,” said Hoffman, who was inspired to start the nonprofit when she learned that many children and teens in foster care don’t receive a gift on their birthday. “We are very excited to partner with
A Birthday Wish, they will assist us in making sure the children we serve thrive while living in foster care.” says Executive Director of CASA of Ocean County, Vicki Weiss. CASA of Ocean County will be the seventh partnership with A Birthday Wish and looks forward to the unique opportunity to grant birthday wishes to foster children in Ocean County. CASA of Ocean County is part of a statewide network of community-based, nonprofit programs that recruit, screen, train and supervise volunteers to “Speak Up for a Child” removed from home due to abuse or neglect. CASA is the only program in New Jersey that uses trained volunteers to work one-on-one with children, ensuring that each one gets the services needed and achieves permanency in a safe, nurturing home. Visit casaofoceancounty.org for more information about CASA of Ocean County. A Birthday Wish was founded with the steadfast commitment to let each child in New Jersey foster care know that they are special and that their life truly matters. A Birthday Wish exists to give children in New Jersey foster care a birthday gift and card selected specifically for them. In the process, A Birthday Wish works to raise awareness about the issues surrounding foster care and advocate for better ways to serve these wonderful children. For more information on A Birthday Wish visit ABirthdayWish.org.

Memory Changes As We Age: How To Remember The Things We Forget
JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare is partnering with Centrastate Medical Center to host an educational seminar to inform the community on how to make lifestyle adjustments that can help participants to compensate for attention and memory loss. Join them to learn about how the memory works, why it changes, and what people can do to help remember the things that they forget. Bartley is hosting the seminar at The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living. The Orchards Assisted Living is located at 100 N. County Line Road in Jackson. The seminar will be in two parts. Part One will be on January 23 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., and Part Two will be at the same time on January 25. The presenter will be Marilyn Abrahamson from Centrastate Medical
Center. Abrahamson is a Speech-Language Pathologist at Centrastate Medical Center. Thirteen percent of Americans, aged 60 and older, reported worsening memory loss or confusion in the previous year. One in eight seniors reported this memory loss. The lifestyle habits that participants will learn from this seminar will help them to delay the symptoms of age-related cognitive decline. Delaying these symptoms can serve to help people maintain independence for as long as possible, or even return to work, play, and the enjoyment of every day. Seating is limited, so anyone interested in attending the “Memory Changes As We Age” educational seminar, call Centrastate Medical Center at 732-308-0570, or visit centrastate.com, and click on Classes and Events. There will be refreshments served.
Fishing Flea Market
TOMS RIVER – The New Jersey Beach Buggy Association and Toms River South High School Fishing Club will be cohosting the 2017 Fishing Flea Market on January 28 in the Toms River South High School
cafeteria from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Guests should use the Melrose Drive entrance that is off Hooper Avenue. General admission is $3. Children 12 and younger enter free.
Cervical Cancer Screenings
NEW JERSEY – Cervical cancer incidence rates in New Jersey women vary by age and race groups. Visit nj.gov/health/ces/briefs.shtml for the latest New Jersey State Cancer Registry data brief on cervical cancer incidence. Cervical cancer screening is an integral part of cervical cancer prevention and early detection. Cervical cancer screening is recommended to begin within three years of
the start of sexual activity or age 21 years (whichever comes first). Screening in women older than age 65 years is not recommended if they have had adequate negative prior screening and are not otherwise at high risk for cervical cancer. For more information on cervical cancer screening, visit nj.gov/health/ccp/guidelines. shtml#CE.

900 Ocean County Area Children May Need To Be Revaccinated
OCEAN COUNTY – Approximately 900 children who participated in a free or lowcost vaccine program in Ocean County may need to be revaccinated because the vaccine they received may not have been properly refrigerated. The children participated in the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, a federally funded, state operated program that provides 1.6 million free or low-cost vaccines to eligible low-income children at more than 1,000 medical offices around the state each year. The Department of Health is mailing letters to impacted families whose children were vaccinated at Southern Ocean
Pediatrics and Family Medicine in Manahawkin, which is the medical office of Dr. Michael Bleiman. The Department suspended shipment of VFC vaccine to Dr. Bleiman on July 28, 2016, when, during a routine compliance visit, problems with refrigeration temperatures were discovered. Months later, the state fi led a complaint with the State Board of Medical Examiners alleging gross negligence, professional misconduct and other violations by Dr. Bleiman. Vaccine that has not been properly refrigerated under the recommendation of the manufacturer may be less effective.

Children who receive these vaccines might not be fully protected against vaccine-preventable diseases, according to the guidelines of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Receiving improperly-stored vaccines is not a danger to the health of the recipient, however, according to the CDC guidelines, exposure to temperatures outside the manufacturer’s recommended range can make vaccines less effective at preventing disease. Parents may want to discuss revaccination with a health care provider. The vaccines the children received include measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis A & B, rotavirus, DTaP/Tdap, Hib, pneumococcal, polio, meningococcal and HPV. As part of an investigation, the VFC program determined that the temperature problems may have occurred as early as November 2014. The children who should be
evaluated for revaccination were vaccinated between November 2014 and July 28, 2016. As part of an ongoing investigation, the Department made referrals to and is working with the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners, the Medicaid Fraud Division in the Office of the State Comptroller; and the Medicaid program in the New Jersey Department of Human Services. Families enrolled in Medicaid Managed Care Organizations should contact their health plan for assistance in providing an in-network provider. Parents or guardians of uninsured children can contact Federally Qualified Health Centers in the area, including the Center for Health Education, Medicine & Dentistry (CHEMED) in Lakewood and Ocean Health Initiatives in Lakewood. In addition, Southern Ocean Medical Center in Manahawkin, which is part of Hackensack Meridian Health, will also be setting up a hotline to help families evaluate the need for revaccination.

Avoiding Cold Weather Emergencies
OCEAN COUNTY – “Cold and frigid today…..maybe 60 degrees on Thursday; it seems we have been having these fluctuations of temperatures throughout the fall and the beginning of winter,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County board of Health. “Since winter is here, we do know that we will get more frigid weather and it is important to be aware of the dangers of prolonged exposure to cold. We live in an area where many people are outside for extended periods of time such as school children waiting for their school bus, construction workers working on exteriors of homes or buildings and even the crews that are responsible for clearing streets and sidewalks of snow and ice.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator, said, “The most common cold-related emergencies are hypothermia and frostbite. When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Prolonged exposure to cold will eventually use up your body’s stored energy resulting in hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature, which if too low, affects the brain making the person unable to think clearly or move well. A person may not know it is happening and won’t be able to do anything about it. Hypothermia is most likely to occur at very cold temperatures, but can occur even at cool temperatures if a person becomes chilled from rain or is submerged in cold water. Victims of hypothermia are often elderly people, babies sleeping in cold
bedrooms, people who remain outdoors for long periods and people who drink alcohol or use illicit drugs. Some symptoms of hypothermia are: In adults: shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech, and drowsiness. In infants: bright red, cold skin and very low energy Anyone with these signs should have their temperature taken. If their temperature is below 95 degrees, they need immediate medical attention. For those who cannot get that attention, that person should be immediately moved to a warm room. Any wet clothing must be removed. Warm the center of the body first – chest, neck, head and groin. Use skin-to skin contact under loose, dry layers of blankets, clothing, towels or sheets. Warm beverages can help but do not give alcoholic beverages. Do not give beverages to someone unconscious. After body temperature has increased, keep the person dry and wrapped in warm layers and get medical attention as soon as possible. A person with severe hypothermia may be unconscious and may not seem to have a pulse or to be breathing. Handle the victim gently and get emergency assistance immediately. Even if the person appears dead, CPR should be provided and should continue while victim is being warmed or until the victim responds or medical aid becomes available. Frostbite is an injury to the body that is caused by freezing and causes a loss of
feeling and color in affected areas. It most often affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, and fingers or toes and can permanently damage the body and severe cases can lead to amputation. People need to dress properly for extremely cold temperatures. The following signs may indicate frostbite: a white or grayish yellow skin area, skin that feels unusually firm or waxy, and numbness. Immediate medical attention is required. If a person also shows signs of hypothermia, this requires emergency medical assistance. If a person has signs of frostbite but no hypothermia, proceed as follows: get into a warm area. Unless necessary, do not walk on frostbitten feet or toes. The affected area
can be warmed by body heat. Do not rub the frostbitten area with snow or massage it at all. Do not use heating pad, heat lamp, or the heat of a stove, fireplace or radiator for warming. Affected areas are numb and can be easily burned. Regenye added, “Preventive action is your best defense against having to deal with extreme cold-weather conditions. Prepare your home and car in advance for winter emergencies and observe safety precautions during times of extremely cold weather.” Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

Am I At Risk For Falls?
F
By Amie Gomez, DPT, Toms River Physical Therapist
alls have become a serious problem that older adults are facing at home and in the community. Falls are the leading cause of fatal injuries and nonfatal emergency room admissions in older adults. Unfortunately, the risk of falls is very high and increases with age. For adults over the age of 80, half can expect a fall annually and about 50% can expect multiple falls. Falls can result in broken bones, muscle strains, brain injuries and can limit ones independence. The good news is that falling is not inevitable! There are various ways to assess your risk and methods to decrease your chances of falling. WHAT ARE SOME RISK FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE A FALL?
There are numerous risk factors for falls including poor balance, poor lower extremity strength and range of motion, decreased vision, improper footwear, medication side effects, fear of falling and slow walking speed just to name a few. I am going to take a few of those risk factors and break them down a little further for you. After a fall many people become fearful of another fall so they stop doing activities that they feel are risky. While some activities are good to delegate to others, such as climbing on ladders or going into the attic, other activities should be able to be completed by you with no fear or anxiety, such as changing the bed sheets and light cooking. Avoiding certain behaviors and activities and decreased confidence in your balance have been known to be great predictors in falls. Typically, when a person begins avoiding activities due to fear of falling they slowly become less mobile, which in turn decrease strength and
range of motion therefore increasing the risk of a fall, not to mention decreasing the quality of life. As we age, we lose about 1% of our strength every year. Core and leg strength are very important for being able to prevent and/or recover from a fall. If you are not performing a structured exercise routine you may be overlooking important muscles and therefore they are becoming weaker. Weak muscles will not be able to clear obstacles, stabilize on uneven ground, or keep upright posture as well as strong muscles leading to increases chances of falling. In the event of a fall, strong muscles will better support and protect your bones and make it easier to stand back up from the floor. Many people are not aware of the fact that walking speed is a good way to measure fall risk. Slower gait speeds are typical of higher fall risk. While it is fine to walk at a comfortable speed during your average day, there are times when a quick, but safe, walking speed is important, such as in an emergency situation or when rushing to use the restroom. In those times when a person is walking at an increased rate the chances of a fall is higher. Due to the lack of practice, a change in a person’s average walking speed will also increase the chances of a fall. A person should be able to walk at varying speeds without compromising safety.
the clinic will allow the therapist to correct any mistakes they notice and you will feel more confident with the supportive staff at your side.
HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP ME?
The therapist can also work to simulate activities that you may have been avoiding, such as climbing steps, walking on uneven surfaces and performing housework. There is always a way to progress the balance activities as you improve such as adding an unstable surface, removing arm support, or taking away the visual component. The therapist may recommend the use of an assistive device (walker or cane) to increase your safety. If they believe that is the safest situation they are able to correctly adjust the height for maximum support and instruct you in the proper way to use the device. The therapist will continue to reassess your progress to help you reach your goals and decrease your risk of falling!
A physical therapist can help assess your fall risk by assisting you through some basic physical tests and having you fill out some questionnaires regarding your balance and confidence. Once you have been evaluated the PT can create a program that is tailored to your needs, most likely a combination of static and dynamic balance activities and strengthening exercises. Performing these activities in
Amie graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2010. She continued her education at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ in Newark, where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2012. Since graduating, Amie’s primary professional focus has been in the inpatient rehabilitation setting. She has also completed experiences in acute care and outpatient orthopedics. Amie’s areas of interest include geriatrics, non-operative and post-surgical rehab, adult neurological impairments and balance impairments. She believes that patient centered care is the key to successful outcomes.

For the week of jANUARY 21 - jANUARY 27
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have the ability to rock even as you shock. Focus on the latest technology and most advanced ideas. You may become frustrated by mundane tasks and routines in the week to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Wait for it. You may be blessed by an almost magical ability to execute some shrewd business and financial plans in the middle of the week. A partner might have some excellent ideas. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might be thrown into contact with deceptive people or frustrating situations as this week unfolds. Monday is the best day to ask for advice or feedback to sort the wheat from chaff. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Friends and group activities could dominate the week ahead. You appear friendly and approachable so may be bombarded by distracting conversations. A partner shares your goals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Building blocks can be cemented by friendships. As this week goes by you might meet people who share your interests and ideas. Get some feedback about how to reach business and financial goals. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Think ahead. In the beginning of the week you might be impressed by someone or something that is merely a passing whim. Put your faith in people who have proved themselves trustworthy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Exercise good judgment and tactfulness. It is much too easy to get caught up in a wild goose chase in the week ahead. A partner will not be able to accept suggestions or criticisms gracefully. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Hold your piggy bank close to your chest. In the week ahead there may be several situations that could prove costly. Don’t spend your hard earned cents unless it reflects sound business sense. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your heroes might prove to be zeros. In the week ahead you might be challenged to differentiate between the worthwhile and misleading. Remain in focus to achieve meaningful goals. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be called upon to navigate social functions and distracted from what is really important. There may be an excellent opportunity mid-week to make a money making idea fly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every nickel counts. There may be an opportunity to improve your financial situation this week. You must carefully weigh the added responsibilities and avoid long term debt loads. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There may be opportunities to showcase your talents this week. Yet if you accept new responsibilities they may stretch your talents too far. Get advice before accepting new obligations.

Kale Me, Maybe: Trends Come And Go, But Kale Has Staying Power By Wolfgang Puck
In the new year, many food writers like to discuss the latest trends or what’s hot and what’s not. And lately, I’ve been seeing too many articles saying that kale, that crinkly, earthy, slightly bitter, and highly nutritious dark green has already enjoyed its moment in the culinary sun; that it should start disappearing from our menus and tables, especially in salads. I think that banishing kale is a terrible idea. Yes, it’s hard to find a restaurant menu or supermarket produce shelf today that doesn’t feature kale. But the fact that it’s everywhere should no more be a reason for us to start ignoring kale than, say, deciding that we won’t eat chicken or pasta because everybody is serving those ingredients. I myself love the flavor and texture of kale; and as someone who tries every day to make smart food choices, I don’t want to stop eating such a generous source of not only dietary fiber and vitamins, but also micronutrients that research has found can play a role in helping to prevent so many illnesses. As I see it, the trouble with kale is that too many people don’t know the right way to shop for and prepare it. Many people find the leaves too tough or bitter. That’s why you should not only look for tenderer, milder-tasting baby kale leaves, but also take care to remove any tough stems or veins or ribs from them. And, as you’ll learn in the following recipe for one of my favorite kale salads, it also makes sense to complement the flavor of the leaves with a tangy-sweet dressing like the mixture I prefer of cider vinegar, honey, olive oil and a touch of walnut oil. Finally, I add to the kale other complementary flavors, textures and colors - pale leaves of curly endive and beautiful purpleand-white radicchio, matchsticks of apple, shavings of Parmesan cheese, and candied walnuts that are so easy and delicious that you’ll want to make batches of them regularly. The result is a salad that looks as beautiful as it tastes delicious and fresh. I think you’ll feel happy to serve it as a first course. You can certainly vary it too - maybe crumbling in some blue cheese or feta in place of the Parmesan shavings, or candying a different kind of nut such as pecans or hazelnut pieces. If you like, you could top it with grilled or broiled seafood or chicken for a main-dish salad. Whichever way you enjoy it, you can be sure you’re benefitting your health - not to mention defying the opinions of the so-called food trend experts!
BABY KALE SALAD WITH APPLES, PARMESAN AND CANDIED WALNUTS Serves 4 CANDIED WALNUTS: 1 egg white 1 cup (250 mL) coarsely chopped raw shelled walnuts 1/4 cup (60 mL) granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper CIDER-HONEY DRESSING: 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 tablespoon honey, plus more as needed Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon walnut oil BABY KALE SALAD: 6 cups (1.5 L) baby kale leaves, stemmed, any tough veins or ribs removed, larger leaves torn into bite-sized pieces 1 head curly endive, stemmed, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces 6 leaves radicchio, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch (12-mm) ribbons 1/2 lemon 1 apple, peeled, cored, sliced and cut into matchstick-sized strips 2 ounces (60 g) Parmesan cheese, cut into shavings with a vegetable peeler First, prepare the walnuts. Preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white until foamy. Put the walnuts in a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the egg whites, and sprinkle in the sugar, cinnamon and cayenne. Stir to coat the walnuts. Spread the nuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Cool the nuts to room temperature, then gently separate them. Set aside. For the dressing, put the vinegar and honey in a bowl and whisk until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisking continuously, slowly pour in the olive and walnut oils. Taste and, if necessary to balance the acidity, stir in a little more honey. In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale, curly endive and radicchio. In a separate bowl, squeeze just enough of the lemon over the apple pieces to coat them, and toss thoroughly.Add the apples to the salad and toss well.Add just enough of the vinaigrette to coat the ingredients and toss again. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound the salad mixture on chilled serving plates. Scatter the walnuts evenly over and around the salad. Top with Parmesan shavings.
