Sheriff Golden Swears In Overseas Officer Via Skype
FREEHOLD – It’s always an honor for members of law enforcement to be sworn in as they rise through the ranks. On February 28, it was Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden’s honor to assist in administering the oath of office to Sgt. Wagner Moreno, who is deployed overseas in the Middle East, via Skype. “As Monmouth County Sheriff, I’m proud to have this unique opportunity to assist in administering
the oath of office to Sgt. Wagner Moreno, while actively serving his country. He is a dedicated law enforcement officer and highly regarded member of the United States Army,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden. “We look forward to Sgt. Moreno’s safe return home and not only thank him for his service, but his family as well, who has been separated from their loved one since last November.” (Skype - See Page 5)

HOWELL POLICE SEEK PUBLIC INFO ON THEIR OPERATING PROCEDURES
By Chris Lundy HOWELL – The township police are seeking public comment on its day-tod ay operat ions i n order to cont i nue being accredited by an outside law enforcement group. The accreditation will be performed by a team of assessors from the New Jersey St ate Associat ion of Chiefs of Police. They will look over all aspects of t he depa r t ment’s policies, procedu res, management, operations, and support services, said Chief Andrew Kudrick. Specific standards are available on the chiefs association web site at njsacop. o r g /c o n t e n t . a s p? contentid=39. There are 105 standards that have to be met in order to achieve accredited status, Kudrick said. “Accreditation results in greater accountability within the agency, reduced r isk a nd l iabi l it y exposure, stronger
defense against civil lawsuits, increased community advocacy, and more confidence in the agency’s ability to operate eff iciently and respond to community needs,” he said. T he assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar agencies in the state, said Harr y J. Delgado, the program manager. The assessors will review written materials, interview department personnel, and tour locations. Assessors will be in the building on March 12 from 10 a.m. to noon. The pu bl ic c a n r e a ch them by calling 732919-2810. Calls are limited to 5 minutes and must address the department’s ability to comply with the specific assessment of the chiefs of police. Comments can also be emailed to the police department at J Yu r g e l @ H o w e l l Police.org. Residents (Police - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 numerous other schools and colleges across New Jersey to design athletic fields. The field upgrades were discussed at the township’s March 2 planning board meeting, where members of the planning board raised questions about the materials used to make synthetic turf, citing an NBC News report from three years ago that suggested college soccer athletes had contracted cancer from exposure to the recycled rubber often found in artificial fields.

Suburban Consulting Engineers Vice President Joseph Perello said that there have been over 60 studies conducted by the Synthetic Turf Council that prove there is no link between cancer and the recycled rubber used in synthetic turf. Perello also mentioned using a newer kind of turf called CoolPlay, which is partially made from non-recycled material. “We do have an alternate bid item, including the specifications for a topping of a coated rubber and sand material known as CoolPlay, which allows the surface of the turf field to remain cooler and also keeps the rubber and sand layer
on the lower levels, while this is on the top level.” The Freehold Regional High School District’s Board of Education has already looked into the safety of the product. Perello also said they are currently installing the CoolPlay material in several other school districts in New Jersey, including on Point Pleasant Borough High School’s athletic field. “This product, what the school district is proposing, is the introduction of sand in the bottom where there’s some recycled rubber in the mix, and the introduction of the CoolPlay material, which is a non-re-
cycled material,” said Perello. The project is currently out to bid with two contractors, and Suburban Consulting Engineers will start receiving bids in early March. If the figures are within budget and approved by the school district, the turnaround time will be quick. In related news, the Howell Girls’ Track & Field team is home to a newly crowned state champ. Niamh Hayes became the second girl in school history to win the NJSIAA Meet of Champions 3200-meter race on February 26, crossing the fi nish line nearly nine seconds before the second-place runner.

Moreno’s law enforcement uniform was shipped overseas and a date and time had to be worked out with the commander. Once the Skype swearing in occurred, members of law enforcement and family proudly watched as the sergeant recited his well deserving oath. “While it’s not easy to be away from my family, it is an honor and privilege to serve my country,” said Sgt. Moreno. “I thank all who made this special day possible and look for ward to a safe return home, where I will continue to work with my fellow members of law enforcement in protecting the public.” Sgt.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
FEATURED LETTER What Solution Does Senate Offer On Affordable Housing S-2216 legislation is a very well thought out modification of New Jersey’s Affordable Housing program for both those needing assistance and the 565 property-tax burdened municipalities. This bill has been languishing in the Senate since May 2016. On February 13, Senate President Sweeney and other Senators once again removed it from the agenda, refusing to take on their responsibility to address the issue that impacts every resident of NJ.
If NJ Senate President Sweeney does not wish to act on this legislation, what affordable housing plan does he have to offer to the citizens of NJ? If he has no plan, I ask him to bring Senate No.2216 back onto the agenda for a vote! If this bill is approved, the affordable housing program could move forward, benefiting all the citizens of NJ without significantly increasing our property tax burden. Jim Burd Former Mayor of Hopewell Township

What Would Jesus (Not) Eat March 1 marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period preceding Easter, when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the wilderness before launching his ministry. The call to refrain from eating animals is as old as the Bible. In Genesis 1:29, God commands humans to eat only plants; then Prophet Isaiah predicts that “none will hurt or destroy on God’s holy mountain.” A number of Christian leaders have followed the call, including Methodist founder John Wesley, Salvation Army founders William and Cather ine Booth, Seventh-day Adventist Church founder Ellen G. White, and prominent evangelical leader Franklin Graham. A meat-free diet is not just about Christian devotion. Dozens of medical studies have linked consumption of animal products with elevated risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer, and other killer diseases. A United Nations report named meat production as the largest source of greenhouse gases

So now the sidered is to keep the ban on cover investigations have documented farm animals being caged, crowded, mutilated, beaten, and shocked. Lent offers a superb opportunity to honor Christ’s powerful message of compassion, but also to protect the health of our family and our planet Earth by adopting a meat-free diet.

Anything Goes Before Zoning Board It is my understanding that a township variance board’s task is to examine a development or home improvement that is being stopped by township ordnances and see if there is a hardship to the owner. Unfortunately, in my opinion this is not the case in Toms River, where anything goes. The Town Council spends money to make ordinances to lot size and setbacks, and the variance board appears to ignore them on a regular basis. Recently, I had the opportunity to observe the variance board in action. One case involves building of a gazebo up against the bulkhead. The project had been done with no permits for electric, construction and no piling -- all which

We Can’t Go Back Before the Affordable Care Act (ACA), accessing health coverage could be like playing Russian roulette for cancer patients. Insurance companies could cancel a patient’s existing coverage when they get sick, or deny coverage in the first place because of a pre-existing condition. If you reached a lifetime or annual limit, your care could be cut off. Yes, the ACA needs improvements. But changing the law in such a way that eliminates critical patient protections and reduces access to affordable and adequate coverage would be devastating to the millions of cancer patients who rely on it. We simply can’t afford to go back. One proposal being con-
pre-existing condition discrimination only if a person maintains continuous coverage. But if a cancer patient can’t work or loses his/her job and experiences a gap in coverage, that could potentially lock him/her out of the insurance market indefinitely. Just like what happened before the ACA. Cancer patients can’t face the possibility of not being able to purchase coverage. Let’s not play politics with people’s health. I’m asking Congress to compromise on improvements to the existing law. Don’t eliminate what’s working and send us back to uncertainty without assurances that access to coverage will be as good or better than what we have now.

Trouble In Leisure Village West You heard the old song “There’s Trouble In River City?” Well, there’s trouble in Leisure Village West. The current board of trustees think that the village is their private play area where they can do what they want to do with our money. They did both bathrooms and then one of the big halls over. Then they told us that plastic fences were being installed throughout the village. When we asked why do they need it, we were told because they want it. When we object, we were told we’re doing it our way. It is time these current board members quit the board now. Edward Doherty Manchester
Correction
The February 25 article “Howell Board Discusses Fate Of PARCC Exam” contained an incorrect description of the legislation relating to buses. The legislation would allow school buses to have cameras that record traffic violations, such as when nearby drivers drive through the bus’ stop sign. The Howell Times regrets the error and any inconvenience it may have caused.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Clifton/Rible Measure Shields First Responders Who Save Overdose Victims Capitol Comments Assemblyman David P. Rible 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell
TR ENTON – An Assembly panel advanced Assemblymen Rob Clifton and Dave Rible’s bill
protecting the lives and well-being of police officers and emergency medical personnel who save the
lives of overdose victims. The bill (A3104), approved by a 9-0 vote in the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee, requires drug users who were revived with Narcan or a similar opioid antidote to undergo blood testing for infectious disease if an officer or first responder was exposed to bodily fluid. “Emergency workers who
are exposed have a right to know if their patient is carrying a disease. It is unthinkable to ask a life-saving responder to live with uncertainty about their own health,” said Clifton (R— Ocean). “This bill will give our police and ambulance workers the peace of mind and certainty they deserve.” Narcan has been administered more than 18,000
times in the state since 2014. “When the drug is administered and during the resuscitation of a victim, contact with blood or digestive liquids is a common occurrence,” said Clifton, who introduced the bill after a police officer was exposed when he administered Narcan to save an overdose victim.
“Without judgment or hesitation, rescuers place themselves at risk to save lives. They deserve the assurance a blood test can provide,” said Rible (R— Monmouth). “In the event of a positive result and risk of transmission, the police officer or emergency responder will benefit from immediate evaluation and treatment.”
Singer Bill To Add Student Loan Instruction To High School Graduation Requirements Capitol Comments Senator Robert W. Singer 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell
MONMOUTH COUNTY – All high school students would receive instruction on available state and federal student loans, as well as student loan debt under legislation sponsored
MONMOUTH COUNTY – After facing years of setbacks and obstacles, the long-awaited dredging project at Shark River has been completed. Equipment from the project, which included removing sediment and reopening the navigation channels in the Shark River, is being removed. “I’m pleased to report that with help of local and state partners, Shark River’s navigable channels have been restored to use,” said Monmouth County Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone. “The project’s two phases have restored the full length of the navigable channels.” “The restoration of state channels to allow safe pas-
by Senator Robert Singer (R-Monmouth, Ocean) and advanced by the Senate Budget Committee. “No one should rush into signing a contract that could cost them tens of thousands
of dollars without fully understanding the repercussions of making such an enor mous decision,” Senator Singer said. “High school students statewide are already required to take a financial literacy course in order to graduate. Without a doubt, learning how to get a student loan and more importantly, how to pay it back, is essential to understanding how to manage money in today’s world.” Singer’s bill, S-990, would
require the State Board of Education to add this instruction as a graduation requirement, beginning with the 2017-2018 graduating class. The instruction, which will fall under the current financial literacy course requirement, must also incorporate issues associated with student loan debt, the requirements for repayment of that debt, and the consequences of the failure to repay it in a timely manner. Students would also be
required to meet with a guidance counselor during their sophomore or junior year to discuss state and federal tuition assistance programs, including grants, scholarships and loans they may be eligible for. The guidance counselor would also cover ways to reduce the cost of higher education, such as options for earning college credit while still in high school. “We know that the process of applying for a loan is far

sage for recreational and commercial traffic is critically important to maintaining our vibrant shore economy,” NJDOT Commissioner Richard T. Hammer said. “I am proud of the efforts of the NJDOT Office of Maritime Resources, working with the county and local officials, to make the Shark River safer to navigate than it has been in decades.” The dredging project hydraulically removed almost three decades of sediment from the Shark River, making it possible for vessels to travel during low tide from the eastern side of the river in Neptune Township to the main channels on the western side in Neptune City and Bel-
mar. Approximately 9,000 feet of navigable channels have been restored. The sediment was hydraulically dredged and then piped via a secure welded pipeline to mechanical dewatering equipment located in the Belmar Marina parking lot. The dewatered material was then trucked to the Monmouth County Reclamation Center for beneficial use as cover material on the active landfill. “Last summer this project was suspended by the shutdown of projects funded by the Transportation Trust Fund (TTF),” said Arnone. “I participated in negotiations with the State to restart this project and I plan to
keep advocating for the State to maintain and improve this valuable environmental, recreational and economic resource for all county residents. “Efforts to dredge the Shark River were a long time in the making and I am extremely pleased that our strong coalition of state, county and local leaders effectively advocated and committed funding to the dredging project,” said Arnone. “Twenty years ago, I was a councilman in Neptune City when I began advocating for keeping the Shark River a viable waterway. I kept up the pressure as mayor and finally, as a Monmouth County Freeholder, I am seeing results. Thank you
to the NJDOT, the county freeholders, Neptune City, Neptune Township, Wall, and Belmar.” “I am pleased to have worked to secure funding for the Shark River dredging which was long overdue,” said Congressman Chris Smith. “The FEMA reimbursement of roughly one third of the project cost made the dredging possible, and will now make for safe navigation in the state channels. As someone who grew up boating and fishing on the Shark River, I know the importance of seeing this waterway improved.” The dredging project was bid at $7.6 million, began in December 2015 and was performed by Mobile Dredging
too complex and that many graduates aren’t getting an education that matches what they paid just to get through the classroom door,” Senator Singer added. “This doesn’t change the fact that it is extremely difficult to become financially independent without a college degree. As we work to achieve greater reform, we must do everything we can to ensure future graduates are prepared to handle this responsibility.”
sand Pumping Co. of Chester, Pennsylvania. County and municipal commitments were as follows: Monmouth County $1.1 million; Neptune City $100,000; Neptune Township $450,000; and Wall Township $315,000. Belmar provided in-kind service for the dewatering process at the Belmar Marina. “This is really a beginning; it certainly could not have been accomplished without the coordination of the surrounding municipalities, county, and the state to get it off the ground,” Senator Jennifer Beck said. “Going forward we must conduct regular maintenance dredging to ensure the viability of this river.”

Georgian Court University, Saint John Vianney High School Dual Admissions Agreement Widens Degree, Scholarship Offerings
LAKEWOOD – Georgian Court University is making it easier—and more affordable—for students at Saint John Vianney High School to take their education to the next level by graduating from SJV’s Early College Academy with an associate degree from Brookdale Community College and then earning their bachelor’s degree and M.B.A. from GCU within four years. This new guaranteed admissions agreement and the Early College Academy to M.B.A. (ECA to M.B.A.) program, which goes into effect fall 2017, offers SJVHS students a seamless transition from high school and transfer to Georgian Court. “This is a wonderful opportunity for our young people and the only program of its kind in New Jersey,” SJVHS President Joseph Deroba said. “It represents the epitome of what two Catholic educational institutions, working together, can accomplish for the welfare of students, families, and the church.” In addition to ensuring access to a quality education, both institutions are equally concerned about making sure students graduate. “Both the guaranteed admissions agreement and the Early College Academy to Master of Business Administration agreement directly benefit SJVHS students who are looking to continue their education by providing seamless admissions and financial aid processes, early academic advising, and increased scholarships,” explains Justin G. Roy, GCU dean of admissions. “The ECA to M.B.A. program is a unique opportunity for us to help students who want to save money and who want to get
two degrees in the span of four years,” he said. “We want to provide them with a great Catholic education that both maximizes their money and their time.” GCU’s guaranteed admissions agreement and ECA to M.B.A. program are part of a range of efforts and initiatives to improve student retention and increase the field of college graduates. The collaboration with Saint John Vianney is just one of many high school partnerships that GCU offers. “We are very concerned about students completing college in a timely manner, and reducing any debt they may have,” said GCU President Joseph R. Marbach, Ph.D. “With this partnership, it will be great for them to get their degrees in New Jersey and keep their talent in New Jersey.” The program, announced at the McAuley Heritage Center on Georgian Court University’s Lakewood campus, allows SJVHS graduates looking to get the most out of their education in such a way that they can earn—for the first time—undergraduate and graduate degrees within four years at the Lakewood campus. GCU is currently taking applications. The agreements signed by GCU president Marbach and SJVHS President Deroba reflect their shared commitment to providing meaningful, viable options for those pursuing higher education. “The commitment to our students, the seamless transition from high school to higher education, and the affordability of the entire program will hopefully encourage students to dream high and to expand their possibilities with us,” said Marbach.

With 7 out of 10 people experiencing low back pain at some point in their lives and low back pain being one of the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians as well as hospitalization, there is no doubt that low back pain exists in epidemic proportions today. Spinal decompression therapy can be used to treat disc bulges and herniations, disc degeneration, sciatica, spinal stenosis, arthritis, facet syndrome and chronic back pain in the low back. Our Vax-D Spinal decompression system is FDA cleared, and has been statistically proven to relieve the pain associated with disc degeneration, herniated discs, facet syndrome and sciatica. Surgical decompression may be warranted for candidates who fail a conservative trial of Vax-D treatment. If you have back and/or neck pain, you may be a candidate for one of our programs. At our office we will give you an honest and fair assessment of your condition and whether or not we can help you.

Vax-D Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal…NATURALLY Many back pain conditions that we see can be helped by our state of the art Vax-D decompression table. Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intra-discal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally. Vax-D decompression tables have been successfully operating for over 15 years throughout the world and more than 3,000 patients a day receive this treatment in the U.S. alone. Vax-D is one of the FDAcleared technologies available at Northeast Spine and
“We are so confident that you will find healing and relief at our office, we will personally evaluate your condition and determine if we can help you. It’s that simple! We have opened our schedule to accept new patients, but due to demand, we are only extending this offer to the first 30 callers. Time slots fill quickly, so call today to secure your appointment.”

5 Supplements That Make You Look Younger Than You Are By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
AFFORDABLE YOGA IN HOWELL!
I can spot a smoker or a sunbather really fast because they look older than they should from the free radical damage. Maybe you thought beauty is only skin deep, but it’s not. A radiant youthful-looking face is actually an inside job. It helps to drink fresh water, exercise regularly and eat healthy foods to get the nutrients which provide the building blocks of healthy skin. Your gut and liver enzymes (glutathione and catalase) must remove toxins and free radicals every second of the day otherwise the junk inside your cell damages your skin. I’ve tried various supplements over the years (on and off) to keep my skin looking as good as it can. At 52, some level of aging is inevitable but it’s amazing what your face can look like if you neutralize free radicals before they age you and use high-quality skin care products. Here are some of my favorite skin-loving herbs and nutrients: Milk thistle. It’s a food, but also a supplement. Your liver processes everything that goes in your mouth, including alcohol, prescription medications, pesticides, preservatives, additives and artificial colors. Your liver detoxifies everything your body doesn’t need. This reminds me of that episode on “I Love Lucy” where she’s struggling to keep up with the conveyor belt of chocolates coming down the line! When your liver falls behind on its job, poisons come out through your skin causing rashes, and itchiness. You’ll age faster. Avoid milk thistle if you’re allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds or daisies.
Collagen. Collagen is a natural component of skin that declines as you age, resulting in thinner, less elastic, more saggy skin. Two 2014 studies found that oral supplementation with this may improve skin elasticity and diminish wrinkles. Silica. This makes hot springs pretty and blue in color. Silica is a trace mineral that helps soothe psoriasis, eczema and rashes when applied topically. Taken internally, silica helps you make collagen naturally, strengthening your nails. Vitamin E. You may think of rubbing vitamin E oil directly on your skin to prevent scars, but taken orally, vitamin E is a powerful cellular antioxidant, which means it gobbles up free radicals that could otherwise potentially damage your skin cells and lead to premature aging. Zinc. It’s not just for your prostate, or for colds! This mineral reduces skin inflammation and irritation, whether that’s associated with acne, pimples, or rashes. It also plays a role in managing the production and turnover of skin cells. When I worked in nursing homes with residents who had painful diabetes-related wounds, or decubitis ulcers, we always put them on zinc and vitamin C. Be careful with zinc, don’t take too much. In fact avoid it if you take ginkgo biloba, ibuprofen or warfarin because it slightly increases risk of bleeding. If you’d like to read the longer version of this article, it’s available at my website, suzycohen.com. Please make sure to ask your doctor if these supplements are right for you.

Freeholder Director Named To Count Basie Board
RED BANK – Freeholder Director Lillian Burry has accepted an invitation to join the Basie Board of the historic Count Basie Theatre, Monmouth Street. The Count Basie heater is a nonprofit organization whose primary mission is t o prov ide a broa d s p e ct r u m of quality entertainment and educational programs ref lecting the diversity of the region, foster understanding and appreciation for the ennobling power of performing arts, create opportunity for cultural enrichment at all economic levels and honor the memory of Red
Bank native and renowned jazz pianist William James “Count” Basie. Burry was elected to the board as a special meeting to fill a vacancy which expires in June, 2018. The board’s annual elections and meeting are held in May. In accepting the invitation to serve on the board, the director said “we live in a world that seems increasingly fragmented and polarized and people sometimes have trouble f inding any common ground. That’s what makes the mission of the Count Basie all the more
important now. It is through our common culture that bridges can be built, connecting people across generational and ideological divides. The arts have the capacity to resonate with people on a nonverbal level. It is that shared vibration whether from a rock guitar solo, a full symphonic orchestra or a gifted jazz quartet - that music has the unique capacity to touch the human spirit. More than ever, we need places for people to come together to share in this common experience and remember that we are, on the most f undamental level, one

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Take Your Husband’s Car Keys
Dear Joel My problem is a serious one. For at least a few months I have discovered that my husband is driving dr un k. It seems to be mostly at the end of the day but it could be throughout the day as well. I don’t know how to handle this and don’t want to get him into trouble. Answer: I see your problem exactly the other way around. By doing nothing you are getting him into trouble. He is a danger to every person on the road (and off the road). Lives are taken and others ruined by drunk drivers. If I were you I would demand that he give you his car keys and driver’s license. That is just the beginning. At that point I would contact an attorney who deals specifically with alcoholism and drug
addiction. If he refuses to go, which may very well be the case, I suggest that you go without him. In the meanwhile get him a driver, drive him yourself or keep him home. I would suggest a bicycle but he is a danger on the road even then if drunk. Do not let this man drive sober as at this point he is likely to return to his old ways. This entire country is counting on you...Writing to me is a great start but you have a lot of hard work ahead of you. Let me know how it progresses. I wish you well. 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

Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield Pays Fine, Tightens Data Security
NEW JERSEY – The NJ Division of Consumer Affairs announced that the state’s largest healthcare provider, Horizon Healthcare Services, Inc., has agreed to pay $1.1 million and improve data security practices to settle allegations it failed to properly protect the privacy of nearly 690,000 New Jersey policyholders whose personal information was contained on two laptops stolen from the insurer’s Newark headquarters. The insurance giant, which does business as Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of NJ (“Horizon BCBSNJ”), agreed to the settlement after a Division investigation concluded that the company’s failure to comply with federal healthcare data security standards threatened to

The State alleges that the policyholder data on the stolen laptops was password protected, but not encrypted, as required under these circumstances by the federal Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HIPAA/HITECH”). “Protecting the personal information of policyholders must be a top priority of every company. Customers deserve it and the law demands it,” said Steve Lee,
Director of the Division of Consumer Af fai rs. “Hor i zon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey’s alleged security lapses risked exposing policyholders’ most private information to the public, leaving them v ulnerable to identit y theft. This settlement ensures that Horizon BCBSNJ will maintain appropriate data privacy and security protocols to prevent future data breaches.” The laptops were stolen from Horizon BCBSNJ’s Newa rk headqu a r ters i n November 2013 when someone cut the cables securing them to a desk. The Division’s investigation revealed that during the weekend of the theft, numerous personnel from outside vendors perfor ming renovations and moving

Bobby Byrnes Show At Hess Building
AT LA N T IC H IGH LA N DS – T he popular Bobby Byrnes St. Patrick’s Day Irish Show will be presented at the Hess Center, 55 South Ave., on March 17 at 7:30 p.m. The event is sponsored by Our Lady of Perpetual Help St. Agnes Parish and is open to all. Tickets are $25 per person and reservations can be made by calling
the office at 732-291-0272. Bobby Byrnes and his entourage have made several appearances at par ish events over the years, always drawing massive crowds. This year’s St. Patrick’s Day party will be the last. Byrnes, who turns 75 this year, is making a formal announcement in the entertainer’s May newsletter outlining his final perfor-
mance before her retires from the stage and pursues another interest. The Bobby Byrne Show is a unique blend of music that features Irish ballads and folk music, but also offers a generous supply of Italian arias, hilarious novelty numbers, Elvis Presley rockers and old time sing-a-long songs. The affable and agile star will often segue from a
foot-stomping medley of Elvis Presley rockers to a classical aria like “Vesti La Giubba” from “Pagliacci.” Then, before you can dry the tears after that one, he’ll have you laughing at something called “Br idey Mu r phy and the Kamikaze Pilot.” Coffee and cake will be served at no additional charge, and guests are invited to BYOB and snacks. Guests are also urged to arrive early to secure the size table they want for their group. Open seating will incorporate both large and smaller round tables on a first come, first served basis.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of MArch 11 - March 17 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Ride out the storm. Some brief disruptions may have you ready to throw in the towel but a little patience is all that’s required to achieve success. You may be in a position to take advantage of a situation in the week to come. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Listen to your heart. Strengthen an existing relationship with a loved one by letting them know how you really feel. Singles who are still seeking their significant other may reap romantic rewards by meeting new people. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t jump to conclusions. Wait until all the facts come to light before reaching a decision as the true nature of a situation may be cloudy this week. Talking things over with a trusted friend or confidant may set your mind at ease. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do what you want to do. Think about things that make you happy and then take action to make them happen this week. Steer clear of disputes and bad-tempered people. Negative influences could rain on your parade. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get going while the going is good. There’s no obstacle that you can’t conquer or problem you can’t solve as your energy and enthusiasm will be in high gear this week. Offering help to a friend in need will be effortless. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep it simple. If you take too much time thinking things over you may get stuck in neutral but if you follow your instincts you’ll make quick progress. Set aside some quality time to spend with loved ones this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): All work and no play makes for a dull week. Leave some room in the schedule for recreation and hobbies that will help to clear your mind. Romantic activities are likely to meet with better than average results. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remember that not everyone plays fair. Remain alert with matters involving money as someone may try to pull a fast one when you aren’t paying attention. Take the time to find value in something you may have at first thought worthless. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Patience is a virtue. If you find someone is irritating you, count to ten or just walk away before you lose your cool. Now is the time for listening and understanding rather than engaging in petty squabbles or spats. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Logic may fail you. A practical approach won’t be much help when a problem stems from a completely irrational situation. You may need to put your creative juices into overdrive to find a solution or just avoid the matter altogether. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Smiles can be contagious. A positive and upbeat attitude will light up your surroundings and make you a pleasure to be around this week. Competitions will be about enjoying the game rather than who wins or loses. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Put the past behind you and set sights on the future. You may have made some mistakes before but wipe the slate clean. Resolve to get off to a fresh start this week. Find your comfort zone among family and close friends.

Prepare A Spanish-Style Omelet Anytime For A Satisfying Meal By Wolfgang Puck
I’ve recognized an interesting pattern from the questions and recipe requests I’m always getting. With all the different food options and occasions for eating that each week brings, most people are concerned about cooking for two main types of meals: weekend brunches and weeknight suppers. As you might guess, the styles of recipes they want for those two occasions tend to be very different. On a weekend morning, most home cooks want to prepare something that feels generous, even a little bit indulgent; a recipe that will impress everyone gathered around the table, helping to make brunch a special yet relaxed occasion. Weeknight meals, on the other hand, are almost always more about convenience, answering one main challenge: How do you satisfy yourself and your family quickly and easily while providing a main course that tastes fresh and delicious? I know of one great recipe that fulfills the requirements of both: my interpretation of a Spanish omelet. Brunch guests happily greet a thick, pancake-style flat omelet, served cut into wedges, which makes a great impression whether you offer it hot from the oven or even lukewarm or cold on a buffet. And egg dishes are becoming more and more popular on weeknights, a time when the concept of serving breakfast for supper is not only convenient but also wonderfully comforting. My recipe also offers the added benefit of being healthy. I pack the omelet with lots of fresh vegetables, cut into uniform 1/4-inch (12-mm) dice; feel free to substitute some of your own favorites, briefly sauteing them as I do in the recipe. I make the omelet with mostly egg whites, adding just a couple of yolks for a touch of richness and golden color. (You can save leftover yolks for another recipe for two or three days in a sealable container in the refrigerator, covered with a little water to prevent them from drying out.) Because many people love cured pork with such egg dishes, I also finish off the omelet with some strips of lean ham; but, of course, you could also make a vegetarian version by substituting some sliced or crumbled chorizo-style vegetarian sausage that can be found in most wellstocked supermarkets. You might wonder how healthful such a generous-looking, rich-tasting main dish can be. So it might surprise you to learn that each serving totals just about 150 calories, with a little bit more than a quarter of those coming from fat. So, if you add some good whole-grain bread and a salad
or fresh fruit, you’ll have a well-balanced, satisfying and delicious meal ready with incredible ease. And what home cook doesn’t want that, whatever the time, day or occasion? HEALTHY SPANISH-STYLE OMELET WITH BELL PEPPERS AND HAM Serves 4 Olive oil-flavored nonstick cooking spray 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced red bell pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced yellow bell pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced green bell pepper 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 1/2 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, deveined and finely chopped (optional) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) seeded and diced tomato 2 large cage-free eggs 12 large cage-free egg whites 1/4 cup (60 mL) pitted Kalamata olives, sliced 3 ounces (185 g) thinly sliced lean cured ham, cut into thin ribbons 6 basil leaves, cut into fine strips Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Heat an 8-inch (20-cm) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with the nonstick cooking spray. Add the peppers and saute, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and their edges begin to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno, if using, and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes longer. Put the eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and whisk until thoroughly blended. Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the vegetables and stir constantly over medium heat until curds start to form. Continue cooking until the mixture has begun to set but is still fairly moist. Remove the skillet from the heat and scatter the olives and ham evenly over the top. Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the omelet is completely set but still slightly moist, about 5 minutes. If the eggs on top still look a little underdone for your liking, switch the oven to the broil setting, or preheat a separate broiler, and pop the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until they are set and light golden. Set the skillet aside to let the omelet settle for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the basil. Cut it into wedges and serve hot, lukewarm or even cold.
