Jax School District Enrollment Drops Since 2012

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – T he Ja c k s o n Tow n s h i p School Dist r ict has seen a steady decline in enrolled students, but officials said the numbers are not worrisome.

“Although enrollment has decreased, in a district our size those decreases are spread out over 10 schools, each of which have

multiple grade levels.

So the impact on each school or grade level is spread out throughout all of our schools and grades,” superintendent Dr. Stephen Genco told The Jackson Times.

Figures provided by the district show a decrease of 725 students from October 15, 2012 to October 14, 2016, from 9,094 to 8,369.

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – April 6 marked the 100th anniversary of the United States formally declaring war against Germany and entering World War 1, w h i c h w a s a l s o known as the Great War and the War to End All Wars.

Though history played out on that international stage, here in New Jersey the anniversary is a time to unearth the local impact of WWI,

and those efforts include some special events and exhibits.

WWI began in Europe on July 28, 1914 with the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serb, and it lasted until November 11, 1918. At the beginning of the war, President Woodrow Wilson pledged neutrality for the United States, which most Americans favored, but after a series of incidents, including the

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The proposed township budget aims to keep services while minimizing a tax bill increase to about $34.61 more residents would pay in municipal taxes.

Business administrator Helene Schlegel int roduced Jackson Township’s proposed 2017 operating budget of $42.4 million, a 1.43 percent increase over last year’s budget. The budget is increasing $606,080.66 over last year’s budget.

The tax lev y will increase $873,030.67,

up 2.82 percent from $30.9 million to $31.8 million.

The average homeowner, whose home is assessed at $326,489, will see a total increase of $34.61 in their municipal taxes. That’s $2.88 per month.

“Our surplus is up and we are using less. We are maintaining township services,” Schlegel wrote to The Jackson Times. “We’ve maintained strong financial ratings from Moody’s (AA2) and saw an uptick in our Standard & Poor’s rating to AA+.”

WWI:

Continued From Page 1 6. Wilson signed the war declaration on April 7.

The population of Ocean County back then was around 23,000, and according to the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission, residents here took to the war effort “with patriotic zeal.”

I n May 1917, Cong re ss pa sse d a bill for “selective draft,” a force that supplemented the regular Ar my and the National Guard, which numbered around 370,000. When Wilson created the selective service, an estimated 3 million were drafted and an estimated 2 million volunteered.

The men who were drafted – doughboys, as they were called during the 19 months American troops were involved in the war – were selected from able -bod ied male cit i zen s bet ween the ages of 21 and 30 (unless they had dependent families and certain other specified classes) and would be liable to military service if drafted.

At the time America entered the war the US Army numbered 133,000 troops, but by the end of the war that number had grown to over 4 million.

The first selective service draft was in August 1917, and in Ocean County there was an initial quota of 169 conscripts, many of who gathered at the Toms River Courthouse steps on September 19 for a public send-off before their training started at the newly-created Camp Dix. A few months later, in February 1918, 139 soldiers with scarlet fever were transferred to the newly-created General Hospital No. 9 at the luxurious Lakewood Hotel.

The hospital would treat some 5,500 soldiers during the year and a half, and had a staff of 773 doctors, nurses and other employees at its height.

Although there are no records in the county or state that tells how many Ocean County men served in World War 1, some 1,200 servicemen returned home to Ocean County after the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918.

The servicemen were discharged to the local U.S. Army base at Camp Kendrick on the old Proving Grounds at Lakehurst.

The book, Ocean County: Four Centuries in the Making, says the Ocean County Board of Freeholders held a celebration at the county courthouse in Toms River for the returning veterans. That was held on the fi rst anniversary of the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1919.

The overf lowing crowd began with members of the newly-formed American Legion Post 129 and the Toms River Fire Company marched down Washington Street.

A handmade flag was presented to the Post by Mrs. Charles Vander veer in memory of her son, Toms River resident George P. Vanderveer, who was the fi rst Ocean County soldier to die from his

The Jackson Times, April 8, 2017, Page 5 wounds in battle in 1918.

The American Legion Post is named after Vanderveer, and has several plaques memorializing him. He died at 20 years old at home, after suffering through a gas attack and subsequent shellshock. He returned home to convalesce.

After the war ended, the draft was abolished, flour was no longer rationed and restrictions on public works and private construction were lifted. Munitions factories slowed down and converted back to manufacturing supplies and materials.

According to an article in the Ocean County Observer, American Army officers were trained at Wanamaker Hall in Island Heights. In August 1919, John Wanamaker, then an 80-year old Philadelphia department store owner, had a sculptor create a monument marking the victory over the Germans at Verdun in France and had it put on the shore of Barnegat Bay, facing east.

Brick Township Historian Gene Donatiello forwarded a story from a book written

by George Cook about a Brick resident who served during WW1.

“Percy Gant: the Man Behind the Decoy” tells the story about Gant, who was born in 1894 in the village of Osbornville, Brick Township.

“Percy, like most young men of Osbornville, took to trapping muskrats, duck hunting and fishing the upper Barnegat Bay area,” wrote Cook.

Gant married Melina Maxon in 1915, and two years later, in May of 1919, left to fight in WW1.

When he returned from the war, he purchased a home at 241 Drum Point Road and took up a career in carpentry. Percy also developed a local cranberry business owning and operating several bogs in the Osbornville area.

With his interest in hunting combined with his talents in woodworking, Gant was a natural to be a carver of duck and bird decoys, Cook wrote.

A Mallard decoy of Percy Gant’s now in the Shelbourne Museum, Vt., was selected in 1984 by the United States Postal Service to be placed on a four block of postage stamps depicting American Folk Art. Gant died on August 24, 1963.

The War to End All Wars came at a great cost to the US, where 53,000 died, 200,000 were wounded, and another 60,000 died from disease; more than 3,400 New Jersey men were killed in action or otherwise died during the war.

On April 6, the Ocean County Freeholders commemorated the 100th anniversary of The Great War at the courthouse to honor the 2,433 Ocean County men who served in the war. Of those, 75 were killed in action.

During the month of April, the Ocean Count y Librar y’s headquar ters, 101 Washington St. in Toms River, is hosting the New Jersey WWI Roadshow Art Exhibit, an exhibit showcasing posters and artwork commemorating the 100th anniversary of WWI.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F eAtuReD L etteR Governor Christie Underfunds Pensions In Budget Chris Christie’s eighth budget has a lot in common with his first one. As in 2010, schools are being robbed of resources, pensions are underfunded and the governor is pointing fingers instead of taking responsibility. The only difference this time is that the mess he has made of New Jersey’s budget will be someone else’s responsibility this time next year.

For the eighth year in a row, Christie has contributed far less than the state’s required share of pension funding. His self-serving and misleading boasts about the partial contribution he has proposed is designed to distract from the fact that he ignored his own law that would have had us at full funding already. Instead, he is contributing only half of what he promised in 2011 and what is required by that law. That missing amount, the Christie Gap, means that the state will end up paying billions more in the long run to meet its legal obligations.

Given his track record on pension funding, we have many reasons to question the governor’s proposal to

transfer the State Lottery to the pension fund, including how the stated $13 billion value was determined and who has ultimate responsibility for future lottery revenues.

As more information becomes available regarding this proposal, NJEA will have its independent actuarial consultant review the details before taking a position. What we know already is that this does not appear to generate any additional revenue. Regardless of whether or not that plan is implemented, it is going to take a sustained commitment to full annual funding to make up for the many years that the state badly neglected its obligations.

With this budget, Chris Christie’s New Jersey dismal legacy is set. He will leave with schools suffering, a pension system in crisis, and working families struggling to make ends meet. His economic agenda has been good for corporations and the very wealthiest New Jersey residents, but at a terrible cost to the rest of the state.

Letters To The Editor Judge Them On The Content Of Their Character I’m responding to a letter from Gubernatorial Candidate Lisa McCormick in the February 25 publication of The Times.

I question her saying the State is run by an “old boys club” because we have more male than female legislators.

Her saying “we should fight nonstop for the things we care about” should extend to men as well as women.

Let’s stop the gender and party affiliation nonsense, Lisa, and focus on proposals for running an efficient government that respects all taxpayers and base our votes on those aspects rather than on the gender of a candidate.

PARCC Has Too Much Power In Schools I attended the Brick Board of Education meeting in February and heard the “Curriculum Report” given by the curriculum specialist and the interim superintendent. I write now to share how sickened I was at how much of the curriculum is affected by how children perform on the PARCC tests.

The areas in which our children need improvement dictate the professional development training our teachers receive, what textbooks are purchased, and which curriculum specialists focus on. My own experience was similar. When working in Trenton and New Brunswick, I only attended the professional development training offered by my districts. Now, since I operate my own home-based preschool, I have the freedom to choose my own trainings.

I have discovered that there are

Letters The Editor endless opportunities toTo learn placing them with solar panels increasing demands of just more about how to be a better teacher. We can attend conferences based on specialty, interests, grade level, or weaknesses. At these trainings, teachers can connect directly with the writers of child development books and better understand their messages. Because I can select my own training, the meaning, connection, and understanding I receive from training have all vastly improved.

It is my sincere hope that the Brick BOE, and boards statewide, would choose to not allow PARCC results to dictate professional development training mandates. The entire community would benefit from allowing teachers and staff to attend high quality professional development training that they have chosen. People are motivated to learn about subjects that interest them (or vexes them). If we allow teachers’ strengths to flourish, the quality of education will only improve.

Please allow curriculum specialists, teachers, and principals to have the autonomy to decide their own professional futures.

Solar Energy V. The Environment Recently there have been a number of articles in one of the local area’s major, daily newspaper relative to “green energy,” and more specifically, solar energy.

The columns were quite thought provoking and certainly deserve additional discussion. Several have entailed the building of a “solar farm” at the Great Adventure theme park which; at this time, is currently on hold pending litigation. It will require clear cutting; i.e., removing all the trees on 90 acres and re-

which will, ostensibly, provide 21 megawatts of electric. A second “solar farm” has been proposed on the Navy’s Earl Ammunition Dump property in Colts Neck/ Tinton Falls. It will require the clear cutting of 227 acres and the solar energy realized would be approximately 33 megawatts. We the public should each be asking ourselves the rhetorical question: “Is it environmentally beneficial to clear-cut forests to make way for massive “solar farms?” This is the fundamental question and the point of this letter: to simply bring attention to the great destruction which will be brought upon two very large tracts (a total of 317 acres) of forested, environmentally beneficial tracts of land to generate a relatively very small amount of electric power, about 53 megawatts. To put this in perspective, Oyster Creek generating station, by today’s standards, is a relatively small base load generating station producing approximately 650 megawatts; twelve times more than the above two solar farms combined. For the uninitiated, a base load generating station is one that remains “on line” 24 hours a day, seven days a weekday, rain or shine. Whether a base load generating station is nuclear or fossil fueled is completely irrelevant for the purpose of the topic of this letter.

According to a Department of Energy website, in 2015 the federal government set a goal to increase its purchase of its electric consumption from all renewable energy sources to 30% by 2025.

Their goal is/was to have 20 percent of their total electric consumption to be from solar power sources. (Yes, the federal gov. keeps tract of this kind of information.) This goal implies that the federal government believes that much additional solar power will be available from the nation’s power grid. We citizens need to be enlightened as to how this will be possible given the continually increasing, insatiable, steady, 24-7 demand for electric power unless there is a massive increase in new “solar farms” across the entire United States. If it takes 300 plus acres to install enough solar panels to generate 53 megawatts, one twelfth the amount of one 650 megawatt generating station, how many acres of forests or otherwise productive land would be needed to be cut down or, in some other manner, be exploited to produce the same equivalent of one 650 megawatt base load station? As the human population increases, keeping up with individual

households will be a significant challenge to our nation’s energy policies, let alone the much greater demands of future new factories, office buildings and myriad of other high energy use buildings. (Imagine the electric bill of a hospital.) It’s unlikely that future increases in solar energy dedicated exclusively to the nation’s power grid will not be enough to even keep pace with the above noted household demand.

Are we as a country willing to sacrifice our forests and other environmentally productive lands to “solar farms?” There will have to be a limit on the potential environmental damage our citizens are willing to tolerate for every megawatt of solar energy realized.

Certainly some states have very large land areas that could be covered with large “solar farms” with minimal environmental damage.

In New Jersey this is not the case.

Open space in New Jersey is at a premium. Any proposals for installing solar panels (as well as wind generated electric power) should be very carefully weighed against the real potential harm or benefit they may do to the natural environment. “Politics” should not be a factor in decision to build or not build.

Be it known, the undersigned is fully supportive of well thought out green energy initiatives when A): they are environmentally sound; B): not an intrusion into the well-being or quality of life of others immediately affected and C): economically fair and feasible.

At this time, the preponderance of “roof top” solar panel arrays, as seen on many individual homes, would not be economical if it were not for federal government subsidies. As these subsidies disappear, as they already are, there may well be diminished incentive for more installations.

That would certainly be bad news for jobs; however, not necessarily bad news for environmental issues. One can’t have it entirely both ways. Creating jobs in the manufacturing and installation of the panels is important but the placement of the panels after they are made is equally important. No doubt there are many “technical” questions – both subjective and objective in nature beyond the scope of this letter. The subject deserves much rational thought and rational input (vs. emotional) as each individual “solar farm” proposal enters the public domain.

Freeholders Join With Law Enforcement Leaders In Condemning State’s “Bail Reform” From The Desk Of The

Ocean County Freeholders OCEAN COUNTY – The State’s so-called bail reform law is costing taxpayers millions of dollars while threatening to release potentially dangerous criminals back into the community, two Ocean County Freeholders said.

Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari and Deputy Director Gerry P. Little commended the Ocean County Association of

OCEAN COUNTY – With the filing deadline for income taxes quickly approaching, IRS scammers are taking full advantage of tax season calling unsuspecting taxpayers and attempting to dupe them.

“These scammers are becoming increasingly skillful and brazen in attempting to defraud the public,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs. “Our Consumer Affairs department is working to inform our residents to be aware of potential scam artists posing as IRS agents.”

According to the IRS, an aggressive and sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers has been making the rounds

Chiefs of Police for its recent opposition to the bail reform laws.

“These law enforcement professionals and leaders from all of our municipalities agree that this version of bail reform is not working,” Vicari said.

“We’re not against reviewing and improving our bail regulations, but we are against this law.”

The Chief’s Association on February 10 unanimously approved a resolution calling for the appeal of the reform legislation, calling it “dangerous, onerous and fiscally disastrous.”

Little went one step further, calling the state-mandated law, “nothing but a Get-Out-of-JailFree card.”

Little argued that the original public question placed before voters in 2014 was not only inaccurate, but also “disingenuous.”

“In no way did the question ask whether voters wanted the courts to release sex offenders, drug dealers, burglars and other potentially violent criminal

back on the streets without bail,” Little said. “Judges already had the power to release or hold suspects with or without bail.”

The actual question on the November 2014 ballot read: “Do you approve amending the Constitution to allow a court to order pretrial detention of a person in a criminal case? This would change the current constitutional right to bail. The change to the Constitution would mean that a court could order that a person remain in jail prior to a trial even without a chance for the person to post bail, in some situations.”

Vicari said the facts concern-

ing the number of prisoners released state-wide before trial confirm the Freeholders’ concerns.

According to a statement issued by the New Jersey State PBA on February 7, bail was set for only 3 out of 3,382 suspects that came before judges in January.

“We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our police officers in opposition to these dangerous changes,” Vicari said.

Vicari and Little also praised the New Jersey Association of Counties for filing a suit before the state Council on Mandates arguing that the legislation falls under the “State Mandate, State Pay” statutes and is there-

throughout the country. Callers claim to be employees of the IRS, but are not. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. They may know a lot about their targets, and they usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling.

“I can adamantly tell you these calls are scams because the IRS does not solicit information by telephone,” Vicari said. “If the IRS needs information from you they will first write a letter.”

Victims are often told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threat-

ened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting. Or, victims may be told they have a refund due to try to trick them into sharing private information. If the phone isn’t answered, the scammers often leave an “urgent” callback request.

Vicari said the IRS will never: Call to demand immediate payment using a specific payment method such as a prepaid debit card, gift card or wire transfer.

Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.

“Scammers change tactics from year to year and there are variations of this scam that run year-round,” Vicari said.

“Phishing is another form of an IRS scam.”

Phishing, which are emails that look like they are from the IRS, has seen a surge this year.

Scammers email a potential victim trying to trick them into giving them their personal and financial information.

“If you receive one of these emails do not respond or click the link in them,” Vicari warned.

Following are some tips on how to avoid being scammed: Shred, Shred, Shred - Be sure

to shred all documents containing personal information, such as your Social Security number, home address, and birth date. Spend a little extra and get a cross-cut shredder.

File income taxes early and file electronically – If you beat the scammer by filing early, they can’t file on your behalf. Filing electronically can help keep your financial information secure by making sure a paper document with your Social Security number, address, salary and bank account information does not get diverted through the mail.

Protect your computer – If preparing and filing a return on your own make sure you use security software that updates automatically. Essential tools include a firewall, virus/

and a $15,000 fine. “ T h i s r e p r e h e n s i bl e behavior can not be acc e p t e d ,” s a i d D a n c e r.

“Intolerance, bigotry and hatred are diseases that spread like viruses. It’s c r u c ia l t o f ig ht eve r y form of racial and religious bias.”

fore unconstitutional unless fully funded by Trenton.

Vicari said the county estimates that complying with the regulations will cost taxpayers about $2.4 million in new staff, equipment and capital expenses.

“NJAC is absolutely correct – the state mandated these costs and under the state Constitution they should pay to implement this program,” Vicari said.

However, the Freeholder said a better proposal would be to scrap the law and start fresh.

“It’s time to throw it out and come up with a better plan that both protects our residents and controls costs,” Vicari said.

malware protection and file encryption for sensitive date.

Vicari also recommends checking your credit report at least annually and your bank and credit card statements often.

Vicari noted that unfortunately personal account information is often lost and stolen and it’s best to keep close track of all of your accounts for possible fraud.

“You are entitled to a free credit report from the three major credit reporting companies annually,” Vicari said. “Keeping track of your credit rating might help stop any attempt at stealing your identity.”

Important Public Advisory From The Plumsted Municipal Utilities Authority

PLUMSTED – At its meeting on February 21, the Plumsted Municipal Utilities Authority decided to place on its web site at pmua.net the most recent draft of the proposed Sewer Use Rules and Regulations for the downtown New Egypt Sewer project. The current schedule is for the first phase of the collection system and the wastewater treatment plant to be operational in late 2018 or early 2019. At that point, as proposed, the owners of improved property within the Phase 1 sewer service area would be required to connect to the sewer system within one (1) year. Property owners electing to receive a “forgivable” loan from the township as outlined below must connect within six months. The PMUA and its engineering consultant T&M Associates are now in the process of submitting and applying for various county and state permits needed to construct the sewer system. It is anticipated that construction of the system will begin later this year.

Once adopted by the PMUA, the Township Committee will consider adoption of two ordinances. The first ordinance will be to require a mandatory connection to the sewer system if the improved property is within the Phase 1 sewer service area and the principal structure is within

200’ of the proposed sewer collection system.

The second ordinance is to provide financial assistance to property owners in Phase 1 to defray or cover the costs to connect to the township system. These funds will be used to pay the costs for changing the internal and external plumbing required to connect to the sewer system, to decommission the owner’s existing septic or cesspool system and permits required for this work.

The Financial Assistance Plan would provide a loan on average of $5,000 to each owner of improved property for thirty (30) years as funds permit. The loan requires no monthly payment, is free of interest and is not subject to any income qualification requirement. A lien would be placed on the property while the loan is outstanding. The loan would be paid back based on a sliding scale based upon the sale or refinance of the property or an insurance settlement. For each year the property is not sold or refinanced or the subject of an insurance settlement, the loan would be reduced by 1/30th so that after 30 years the loan would be 100 percent forgiven. The Township will consider final adoption of these ordinances at its May 3 meeting For more information, go to pmua.net/rulesandregs.htm.

Manor Gives Local Students Hands-On Culinary Experience

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP – The Manor Health and Rehabilitation Center is proud to support the Monmouth County Vocational School District Mentorship Program where students from area high schools receive a firsthand culinary experience. More than a dozen students over the last two years have participated in this on-site, practical culinary mentoring program.

For two days a week for a few hours during the school day, the program allows students from Monmouth County high schools the opportunity to shadow the cooks, kitchen and service staff, as well as learn the operations of a working kitchen at CentraState’s 121-bed skilled-nursing, subacute, and rehabilitation center located on the medical center campus.

Students learn basic cooking principles, including how to make stocks, cut vegetables, develop recipes, prepare desserts, and implement food sanitation safety, as well as provide proper table service by assisting in the dining rooms.

The goal of the program is to give the students real-life job experience and to help them gain independence and confidence, as well as develop culinary skills for a possible, future career in the industry.

“The culinary mentoring program at The Manor is a terrific program and it is truly a pleasure to have such creative, passionate and inspired students learn in our kitchen,” says John Todd Jr., director, dining services, The Manor. “To be able to help set these kids up for future success in any career, but, also give them a taste for the culinary arts, is absolutely rewarding.”

Free Tree Seedlings To Residents On Earth Day

PLUMSTED – Free tree seedlings will be available to Plumsted Township residents in the month of April as part of the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign. This program helps communities replace trees damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Earth Day, April 22, residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at the Plumsted Township Municipal Building, 121 Evergreen Road in New Egypt. Seedlings, available on a first come, first served basis, also come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full-grown size in the future. Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order to prevent the roots from drying out.

The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute over 500,000 tree seedlings to New

Jersey residents over the course of the next five years. It is a joint effort between Plumsted Township, New Jersey Forest Service, New Jersey Soil Conservation Districts, Sustainable Jersey, Arbor Day Foundation, Brothers International, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Wyndham Vacation Resorts, and FedEx. When properly planted and maintained, trees can be assets to a community. They improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood or business district, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.

For a list of all distribution locations across the state, visit forestry.nj.gov or facebook.com/ newjerseyforests.

Young Cadets Win First Place In CyberPatriot Competition

–Photo courtesy Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst LAKEHURST -- A team of six cadets from the Civil Air Patrol’s McGuire Composite Squadron recently won New Jersey’s First Place Award in the 9th annual CyberPatriot Competition by crushing 17 other teams in the state with their cybersecurity skills.

The CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Education Program was created by the Air Force Association to excite, educate and motivate students toward careers in cyber security and other science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nation’s future.

Led by 2nd Lt. Peter Toth, the McGuire Composite Squadron cadets earned the award by demonstrating superior teamwork, critical thinking skills and the technical knowledge required for a successful career in cybersecurity.

“Our cadets are serious about preparing for their futures,” said Maj. AlyciaRae Weaver, McGuire Composite Squadron commander.

“I’m very proud of our team as they accepted the challenges of this national competition and spent countless hours learning about network security.”

The squadron’s CyberPatriot team members are C/TSgt Peter John Toth Jr., Barnegat; C/2nd Lt Joseph Quigley, Browns Mills; C/ SSgt Thomas Laskiewicz, Jackson; C/Amn Joshua Thomas, Hanover; C/Amn Alaina Palmer and C/Amn David Griffith, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

“These cadets worked very hard and it was

great to see them compete on such a high level,” said 2nd Lt Toth, McGuire Composite Squadron’s team coach and mentor for CyberPatriot. “This competition was a great experience for the cadets and the technical skills they learned will take them very far in life no matter what career path they chose.”

Assisting Lt Toth were Capt. Jimmy Griffith, USAF, and 2nd Lt Doreen Laskiewicz, McGuire Composite Squadron.

CyberPatriot’s core program – the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition – challenges teams of two to six students across the United States, Canada, and from Department of Defense Dependents Schools abroad, to find and resolve cybersecurity vulnerabilities in simulated environments. Top teams from the preliminary online rounds win an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, DC for the live National Finals Competition, where students compete for national recognition and scholarships.

The CyberPatriot field is divided into three divisions – the Open Division for public, private, and home school teams, the All Service Division for Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, Civil Air Patrol, Naval Sea Cadet Corps teams and the Middle School Division. Based on the results of the preliminary round, CyberPatriot IX high school teams were categorized within their divisions as Platinum, Gold or Silver Tier teams, with Platinum Tier teams representing the highest scoring teams.

Pesach Passover And Easter Fire Safety

LAKEWOOD – With the Pesach and Easter season upon us the Lakewood Board of Fire Commissioners in conjunction with Fire Chief Mike D’Elia Jr., Fire Prevention Coordinator Jacob Woolf, and the members of the Lakewood Fire Department remind the community to be mindful of the following hazards to ensure a fire safe Holiday.

Self-Clean Ovens – Ovens should be pre-cleaned well before turning on the self-clean cycle. Never leave your home while the oven is self-cleaning.

Covering the Stove Top – Never cover any vents. Leave all vents open to allow heat to escape. Failure to do so may damage your oven and cause a fire.

Setting up the Stove Top – The Blech (metal stove top cover) should be positioned to allow heat to escape on all sides. Many people keep a burner on for the duration of the Holiday. Should you do so, it is preferable to choose a back burner.

When not in use, it is a good idea to keep a pot of water over the lowered flame to serve as visual reminder. A safer method of cooking is to use an electric burner. These can be placed directly on your Blech and can be used with an appropriate U.L. approved heavy duty timer as well. You will avoid any potential carbon monoxide buildup and it will only be on when needed.

Cooking – When cooking, roll up your sleeves and avoid wearing loose fitting clothing that can easily catch fire. Do not reach over burners and other hot surfaces. Keep all flammable items (dishtowels, curtains, etc.) at least three feet from the range top. Always turn pot handles inward to prevent young children from pulling down a hot pan. Remain in the kitchen and keep an eye on the stove or oven. Unattended cooking remains a leading cause of home fires.

Frying – When frying, it is important to keep children away from the stove and other cooking elements. Use the back burners so they are out of the reach of children. When reheating fried foods, be careful of the oil that is in the food as it reheats, since it can cause severe burns. In the event of a grease fire, smother the flames with a lid only if it is possible. Do not use water to extinguish a grease fire as this will just increase the size of the fire. Do not hesitate to immediately call 911.

Appliances – Keep all appliances away from the edge of the counter and all wires safely out of reach, especially when children are around.

Leave ample space around any appliances to allow air to circulate and minimize the buildup of heat. Please make sure your appliances are U.L. compliant and that they are in optimal condition.

An appropriate U.L. approved heavy duty timer may be used with hotplates, crock pots, etc. Speak to your Rav, before Pesach, if you need further Halachic clarification on using timers.

Yahrtzeit Candles (Memorial Candles) – Place these in safe stable holders and on sturdy nonflammable surfaces, at least three feet away from flammable materials and in a location where they cannot be knocked over or something can fall on top of them. Do not leave children unattended in a room with lit candles, and do not display lighted candles in windows or near exits in case you need these to escape. Never leave burning candles unattended and keep matches, lighters and lit objects away from children.

B’Dikas Chometz (Search for the Bread) – Be mindful of the candle flame as you are searching!

Keep away from curtains, sofas, clothing, etc.

Make sure the candle is completely extinguished before placing it aside. According to many Poskim (Halachic Authorities) a flashlight or the room’s ceiling fixture may be used. It’s safer to use a flashlight to search in those smaller, tighter areas.

Biur Chometz (Burning of the Bread) – Only use a pre-designated and authorized Biur Chometz site which will be available from 7:30 a.m. to

12:00 p.m. Refer to “The Lakewood Scoop” for final confirmation of this year’s sites as tentatively reflected below: Patrick Park - Vine Street Synagogue - Sunset Road BMG - 7th Street and Private Way BMG- 10th Street and Clifton Avenue Frank Bartolf Park-Brook Road Blue Claws Parking Lot D’zio Park/Harmony Park

Calling the Fire Department on the Holiday or Shabbos – Never hesitate to call the fire department even for the slightest suspicion of danger.

What may appear to the uneducated to be “nothing” may, in fact, be deadly. Call your Rav for clarification, if you must, before Pesach. Once a situation arises, it is too late to start debating Halacha.

Please make sure you have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide dectectors in your

home. At a minimum, smoke alarms should be located outside each separate sleeping area and on every floor of one’s home. Place a carbon monoxide detector outside each sleeping area in the home.

Review, the principles of “Stop, Drop And Roll” which are simple: Stop – do not run if your clothes catch on fire. Drop – to the ground and cover your face. Roll – continue to roll to smother the fire.

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.

“Did you know that 30 million Americans suffer from back pain every day?

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.”

Keeping Your Ears In Good Shape We all know that exercise is good for keeping our bodies in good shape. There is more and more evidence that exercising our ears is also good for keeping our hearing in good shape. A number of studies in the United States and abroad have demonstrated that individuals with hearing loss in both ears, who only use one hearing aid, tend to maintain or improve their ability to understand words in the ear with the hearing aid. The ear without the hearing aid tends to decline in word recognition ability. This decline is not a change in hearing sensitivity, but rather is a decline in the ability to process the complex speech signal simply through the lack of use. In my opinion, there are several reasons for this phenomenon: 1.

The ear without the hearing aid is not being “exercised” very much and 2. The area of the brain involved in hearing is not being used and becomes less effective at

processing speech information.

This gradual decline in speech recognition ability usually reverses itself once the ear gets more stimulation (normally through the use of a hearing aid). Research in England suggests this process of gradual improvement in speech understanding may take four to six weeks after the hearing aid fitting, and may continue for up to 12 weeks. What does this mean to someone with hearing loss? Over the past 10 years, the results of a number of studies suggests the following: 1. The longer a hearing loss is ignored, the greater effect, 2. The sooner a hearing loss is treated, the easier the adjustment, 3. In almost all cases, two hearing aids are better than one. Two hearing aids will keep both ears and both sides of the brain actively involved in hearing, and 4.

Improved hearing may take a little time and patience.

JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation has once again received recognition for its commitment to quality care and outcomes for its residents and patients.

The latest recognition is the accreditation in Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI). This accreditation is another recognition of Bartley’s continuous commitment to improving their quality of care and understanding and meeting the needs of its residents and patients.

Bartley has partnered with quality care leader Providigm, a developer and champion of quality assessment methods and measures for postacute and long-term care facilities, who tracks outstanding performances in those areas. “It is an honor to be recognized as an elder care provider that is committed to continuously improving the care that we provide, based on feedback from our residents and families who benefit from the care we provide,” stated Joanne Ryan, VP of Quality Management at Bartley.

The QAPI program is designed to perform consistent, comprehensive assessments of the care and services provided to residents and patients. Bartley’s QAPI Accreditation is based on the standards for excellence in continuously improving quality of care and life for nursing home residents based on four criteria: com-

prehensive quality review and assessment, consistency in application of program standards and assessing results, coverage of a broad range of resident assessments and taking timely corrective action when needed.

The Bartley Healthcare continuum of services has been recognized many times for superior quality. Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation is the recipient of American Health Care Association Quality Awards and the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval for Accreditation, with special certification of its Post-Acute and Rehabilitation and Memory Care programs.

For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality, individual-focused skilled nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson, New Jersey. Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award-winning, quality leader with the experience in skilled nursing, post-acute care, and assisted living.

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

A Dozen Ways To Reduce Chronic Pain

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. QUESTION: I have chronic pain and take ibuprofen daily plus hydrocodone and celecoxib. I’m willing to do anything right now that could help. The craziest thing is that nothing happened to me, I just developed pain over the years, no accidents, no trauma. Can you help me? – D.W., Boca Raton, Florida ANSWER: Pain is a symptom, not a disease itself. It’s your clue that something is out of balance in your system. Without knowing more details it’s hard to hit the nail on the head so I will give you (and other readers who are suffering in pain) some general information. My goal today is to teach you about two different pain chemicals that your body releases in response to something. What that “something” is could be different for everyone. Sometimes pain is triggered by foods like gluten or nightshade vegetables, sometimes it is from a nutrient deficiency (like magnesium or CoQ10) and sometimes it is from poor elimination. If you are constipated and toxins back up in your gut, or in your blood, then this triggers a physiological response in your body that causes cells to release pain-causing chemicals called “cytokines.”

Two cytokines implicated in pain include the leukotrienes and the prostaglandins.

Those are such big names for little substances but too much of these will make you hurt. Your goal as a pain sufferer is to reduce levels of those.

First up leukotrienes! These are a subclass of “eicosanoids” pronounced “I-kossanoids,” which when you say that out loud, the last syllable sounds like the word “annoyed” and that’s exactly what they do. They are very annoying and irritating!

Leukotrienes spark production of other compounds involved in allergies, food sensitivities, autoimmune disorders and anaphylactic reactions. Leukotrienes tend to increase if you eat food coloring, like yellow dye #5, tartrazine and other artificial substances.

If you have pain, then non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (referred to as “NSAIDs”), such as ibuprofen or naproxen (Advil, and Aleve respectively) can help you. These are sold over-the-counter at pharmacies nationwide. The prescription drug Celebrex (celecoxib) can also help.

Interestingly, researchers have found that some natural compounds like boswelia and quercetin can reduce those annoying eicosanoids. Since about 2001, the medical literature has shown that dark chocolate can reduce eiconanoids too! Other natural rescue remedies include omega 3 fatty acids, flax seed, perilla seed oil, curcumin and glycyrrhiza. The prescription medications Accolate and Singulair may help too, especially if your problems are primarily allergies.

Next up prostaglandins! Excessive amounts of this cytokine occur with arthritis, heavy menstrual cycles, premenstrual syndrome, migraines, multiple sclerosis, chronic lyme disease, as well as colon and breast cancer. What substances reduce prostaglandins? Fish oils, white willow bark (salix alba), ecklonia cava (a brown algae), meadowsweet (don’t take if you’re allergic to salicylates like aspirin), turmeric, skullcap, ginger root and passionflower.

Medications to consider include aspirin, celecoxib and the NSAID class including ibuprofen and naproxen. Ask your doctor if any of these are right for you.

FREEHOLD – New Jersey Blood Services is conducting a blood drive on April 20 at Robert Bellarmine Church, 61 Georgia Road, from 2:30 to 8:30 p.m.

New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be

Upcoming Blood Drive

transfused into anyone in an emergency.

In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level.

“It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,”

said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.”

Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the

transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center.

To donate blood, or for information on how to organize a blood drive, please call 1-800-933-2566 or visit nybloodcenter.org.

If you cannot donate but still wish to participate in bringing crucial blood products to patients in need, please ask someone to donate for you, or consider volunteering at a local blood drive.

Jackson School District Lead Results

JACK SON – T he Ja ck son school syst em is com m it t ed to prot e ct i ng the health of its st udents and staff.

To protect the community and to be in compliance with the Depar t ment of Education regulations, the Jackson Township School District tested the schools’ drinking water for lead.

In accordance with the Department of Education regulations, the Jackson School District is implementing immediate remedial measures for any drinking water outlet with a result greater than the action level of 15 µg/l (parts per billion [ppb]).

Following instructions given in technical guidance developed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the dist rict completed a plumbing profile for each of the buildings within Jackson Township School Dist r ict. T h roug h t h is ef for t , t hey identified and tested all drinking water and food preparation outlets.

Of the 221 samples taken on March 11, all but 17 tested below the lead action level established by the US Environmental Protection Agency for lead in drinking water (15 µg/l [ppb]).

The district encourages parents and residents to view the results of the testing done. Results can be viewed at jacksonsd.org/Page/10081.

The district will receive $50.7 million in state aid.

Officials would not speculate on reasons for the drop in enrollment, but said the drop has actually helped the district in some ways.

OCEAN COUNTY – Seniors living in Ocean County can find information on programs and services available to them and their caregivers in the 2017 Resource Directory, distributed by the Ocean County Office of Senior Services.

Recently updated, this handy directory includes information on a host of programs and services geared to assist seniors living in Ocean County.

“The Office of Senior Services serves as a focal point that older adults and their families can turn to for information and assistance regarding programs and services,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, Chairman of Senior Services. “Our mission is to lead the way in advancing the well-being of older adults.”

Some services featured within the resource directory include: Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and

to implement full-day kindergarten, which is something we have wanted to do for a very long time and something that strengthens the foundation of a child’s entire educational experience,” Genco said. “We have also been able to satisfy state mandates like the requirement to offer additional pre-school seats so that special education pre-school students and general education pre-school students can share experiences.”

The district does keep abreast of development in town so decisions on program locations and need can be located.

“We are aware of the growth in various areas, including the Jackson 21 projects

which depending on the phase will have varying levels of impact for us over the next few years. We have zoned that area to attend school in the nearby Elms Elementary School, which has enough breathing room to handle the students from that area when they come.” Genco said.

He said as residential developments are approved by the township, the district begins to plan should they eventually be built.

“Keeping an eye on development helps us plan, but at the end of the day we have the responsibility to educate all the students who enroll in our district. Sometimes that means moving programs, sometimes it means

The department administers a comprehensive system of community based services including transportation, counseling and care management; community support such as education, recreation, physical and mental health screenings, physical fitness, legal assistance; home support such as friendly visitor, residential maintenance, certified home health aides; nutrition support such as congregate meals and home delivered meals and caregiver support such as respite, caregiver counseling, caregiver support groups and in-home education and support.

How we adapt can take many forms, but we are confident in our ability to figure out the best way to handle any enrollment that comes our way,” said the superintendent.

The district is seeing an increase in English Language Learners, which did require an addition of a teacher this school year to meet those students’ needs. In addition, the district is seeing increases in their aid in lieu of payments to private school students who attend school two to 20 miles from their home.

The resource directory provides at a glance senior services programs and contact information, as well as a service index.

“This directory is a great tool to refer to when looking for programs and services,” Vicari said.

“I would recommend it to our seniors and also their caregivers.”

Why is it so important to report an accident?

It is so important that the failure to report an accident can result in high fines and even the suspension of your driver’s license for up to one year. An accident is not only between vehicles driving on the road, but also includes a collision between a moving vehicle and a parked vehicle.

No matter how gentle the collision or how slow the vehicles were moving, the involved parties should never leave the scene.

Even the most minor accident which may be deemed “just a tap” can result in the issuance of a summons. No matter how minor the accident, it is best for all parties to exchange information and, if necessary, contact the police for assistance. First, all vehicles involved should pull off the road to a safe area in order to protect themselves and other drivers on the road. Next, exchange insurance information and, if an insurance claim has to be made, it is important to have the necessary insurance information so the damaged vehicle can be repaired and the insurance companies can make the appropriate payments. Of course, in many cases the parties agree that the damage is minor, no repairs are necessary and, therefore, no claims have to be made. Further, it may be determined that the police do not need to be called in to make an accident report. However, all the parties involved should make that decision.

In the unlucky event of an accident where the vehicle that caused the accident leaves the scene, the process is quite serious. If the driver of the damaged vehicle or an eyewitness is able to take down the license plate number and/or a description of the vehicle, the person leaving the scene can assume that he/she will receive a summons in the mail or even a visit from the local police department. If that occurs, it

is more than likely that two summonses will be issued. The first summons will be for failure Dina M. Vicari Esq. to report an accident and the second summons will be for leaving the scene of an accident. The latter summons is more serious and carries a mandatory loss of license for one year.

The former carries a fine which can range in amount, but will more than likely cost more than $150.

Moreover, this summons requires a mandatory court appearance. It is important to remember that the victim in the accident will also be noticed of the court date. That person will probably be looking for restitution and/or payment for the damages to the vehicle and any other costs incurred.

So, if you are the cause of a motor vehicle accident don’t leave the scene! Sometimes people get nervous and think that if they leave the scene they don’t have to pay for any damages.

In reality, leaving the scene can be even more expensive. You could be risking court fines and the need of a taxi service for the upcoming year that your driving privileges are suspended.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Neither A Borrower Nor Lender Be Dear Joel, I have a friend who is always borrowing things. He always shows up with the things he needs, like his money or his cellphone, but everything else is up for grabs... from me. Whether it’s a pen, an extension cord, a sweater, even a few extra groceries, if I have it when needs it, he thinks he’s entitled to it. They’re never big things and maybe I shouldn’t be so upset, but I really feel like I have to have two of everything. It’s been going on for years. Am I being petty?

Loaner in Galloway Dear Loaner, I hear ya! You feel silly complaining about lending out little things but I can see where it could get on your nerves to have your friend show up unburdened by items, because he knows he can just use

yours. It’s not the stuff, I’m sure. I think it’s more about thoughtfulness. You wish he would take a few minutes to check if he has what he needs and he thinks, what’s the big deal, it’s just this or that. What he is forgetting is that you took the time to remember to buy this or that so it could be on hand when you need it.

You could drop some hints, maybe even take a run to the store together and suggest he stock up on some things. He’ll probably just keep right on doing it, since he has lived that way for so long, so you have to decide if you want to fight over this.

I do think you’re right for being upset.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of April 8 - April 15

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Drive and determination are divine. Focus on achieving business and financial security rather than pursuing romance in the week ahead. Tell the truth and don’t romanticize your status in a public venue.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Teamwork expedites timely tasks. In the week ahead you can spread business know-how in a friendly, helpful way that earns priceless appreciation.

Co-workers may help you or ask you to donate to a worthy cause.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your faith in a better future will be rewarded this week. You may be surrounded by negativity or doubts may briefly undermine your confidence. If you wait until this downturn passes the conditions will improve.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The majority rules. When you are part of a group your individual opinions may not count for much when what is good for the largest part of the group is at stake. In the week to come you should support your mate.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may easily distracted by fantasies and fancies in the week to come. Steer clear of new romantic entanglements in the next several days. You might be blinded by someone’s surface attractions and miss the facts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Use business strategies to upgrade your bank account. You can make more money this week by working with what you have than with what you don’t.

Jump into action with projects that were previously shoved aside.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Focus on achieving financial freedom. You don’t consider yourself a professional adviser, but someone might knock on your door and ask for advice.

You may be invited to explore some new ideas in the upcoming week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can be gracious when you have a guru. Hook up with helpful people who demonstrate a talent for success in the week to come. Some of their successful habits may rub off on you. Find a leader to follow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Detachment from your personal desires may be the answer. You may be too wrapped up in what you think should be done to consider other viewpoints. Keep on plugging away at a creative project.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can become lost in a fog of wishful thinking in the week ahead. Don’t begin home remodeling projects unless you have a plan already in place. Use your enthusiasm and energies in constructive ways.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Value cooperation and consideration. There is a tendency to be too competitive and aggressive as this week unfolds. If you listen to the wisdom of those who have more experience a chronic situation could be relieved PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Think things through thoroughly. The snap decisions you make now could cause regret later. Rather than wasting your money on silly pleasures in the week ahead focus on being reliable and do a little fix up and repair.

Alternative Ingredients Turn Luxurious Pasta Classic Into Budget-Friendly Dish

By Wolfgang Puck

Taking a shortcut in the kitchen for the sake of convenience or to save money can sometimes lead to less-than-successful results. I won’t use canned or bottled tomato sauce, for example, if ripe, in-season tomatoes are available to make a quick, sun-sweetened sauce from scratch. And I don’t see the point of containers of pre-grated Parmesan; after all, it takes just a few seconds longer to grate it fresh yourself from a block of the rich, nutty-tasting cheese.

But some shortcuts actually do make sense - if you know what you’re doing. To prove that point, I’d like to share a slightly altered version of one of my favorite, classic springtime pastas; one the Italians call paglia e fieno, literally “straw and hay.”

The name is an imaginative reference to the two kinds of fresh fettuccine that traditionally go into it: straw-colored egg pasta and hay-colored spinach pasta. Quickly boiled until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, the fettuccine is tossed with a simple sauce featuring fresh peas, slivers of the cured raw ham called prosciutto, and grated Parmesan.

Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? And it’s easy to make too.

There are, however, some challenges in its most traditional form. Once upon a time, you’d have had to make the pasta from scratch, a task that isn’t difficult but takes some time. Nowadays, however, you can find packages of ready-to-cook fresh fettuccine, both the yellow egg and green spinach varieties, in most supermarkets.

As for the fresh peas, if they’re in season - as they are during spring - and you can find them in your market, shelling them can seem like a bit of a chore and adds to the time an otherwise quick recipe would take.

Fortunately, however, there’s the miracle of frozen petite peas, which you can find anywhere, and they are among the few vegetables that seem to me just about as delicious as fresh ones.

As for the prosciutto, that can be a double challenge: Not only might you have to search for it, but it can also be costly.

Fortunately, I find that the recipe can taste just as delicious made with far less expensive, much easier to find bacon. Another challenge met!

With these few logical shortcuts, a recipe that might take a couple of hours or longer to make in its traditional form, while ringing up an impressive market tab, winds up being a bargain dish that is ready to serve in less than half an hour, including the time it takes to bring the pasta cooking water to a

boil. And all that’s left for you to do before enjoying it is pick up that chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate it over every serving.

STRAW AND HAY PASTA WITH BACON AND PEAS Serves 4 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 large yellow onion, minced 8 slices smoked bacon, cut crosswise into narrow strips 1 cup (250 mL) frozen organic green petite peas 1 cup (250 mL) organic chicken broth, plus more as needed 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into cubes Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 ounces (185 g) packaged fresh egg fettuccine 6 ounces (185 g) packaged fresh spinach fettuccine Pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional) 1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving Put a large pot of salted water over high heat.

While the water comes to a boil, prepare the sauce. In a large saute pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and saute, stirring frequently, until translucent but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the bacon and saute until it just begins to brown, about 2 minutes longer.

Raise the heat, stir in the peas and broth, and bring to a boil; then reduce the heat and simmer for about 3 minutes. Add the butter and stir just until it melts. Remove the pan from the heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep warm.

Add the egg fettuccine and spinach fettuccine to the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Drain the pasta.

Add the pasta to the sauce along with, if you like, a pinch of red pepper flakes. Toss the pasta well and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the 1/2 cup (125 mL) grated Parmesan and toss again, adding a little more broth, if needed, to help coat the pasta with the sauce.

To serve the pasta, use a long two-pronged carving fork or tongs to twirl up the pasta and transfer it to serving plates, mounding it in the center. Spoon more peas, bacon and sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle with more Parmesan. Serve immediately.
