A fork from the Hindenburg, engraved with DZR, Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei, worth more than $10,000 to collectors. By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – Its 80th anniversary of the tragic explosion of the Hindenburg has generated more interest than its 75th. So said Carl Jablonski, president of the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society, at a slide presentation on the
Deutsche Luftschiff Zeppelin 129 – the Hindenburg – at the Plumsted branch of the Ocean County Library on April 6. Jablonski’s been around for many of the significant Hindenburg anniversaries, but wasn’t 100 percent sure why the 80th has sparked more interest
than five years ago. He thought, perhaps, a new generation has aged into interest of the airship disaster that took 36 lives on May 6, 1937. (Hindenburg - See Page 5)
Candidates File For Freeholder, State Committee Seats
2017
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Several candidates for the Ocean County Freeholder
seat filed to represent their parties in the primary, and state political committee candidates also filed their candidacy. In the freeholder race, two Republicans are vying for representation on
the ballot in November. Incumbent Joseph Vicari, 1664 Shady Lane, Toms River, is representing the Regular Republican Organization of Ocean County. Jenny Heinz, 812 Jane Dr., Manahawkin, is rep-
resenting Ocean County Conservative Republicans. Democrat Helen Dela Cruz, 432 Carr Street, Forked River, is running unopposed for the chance to represent her party in (Seats - See Page 7)
By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – It’s hard to believe that at one point in the early 20th century, Canada Geese— Branta Canadensis—were a dwindling population protected by law in some regions, reintroduced and encouraged to thrive. That protection was successful, depending on how one defines success. Lakehurst Borough hopes the geese will see the light and take a hike. Councilwoman Patricia Hodges received information and a quote from Geese Problem Solved, a company operated by Chet and Sharon Yates in Louisville, Ky., to purchase and install solar powered, 360-degree orange LED lights. The lights flash every two seconds and disrupt the sleep patterns of the geese, who then find another place to settle. The company suggests an installation pattern based on satellite images of the site — in this case, Lake Horicon – that will best disturb the geese. Hodges said the lights, a total of five that would be placed on (Geese - See Page 5)

Ocean County Commemorates US Entry Into WWI
By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – A poignant ceremony that included family history, period music, recreated war service flags and readings from local high school students helped to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the United States entering WWI. Speakers at the program, held April 6 in the historic courtroom in the county courthouse in downtown Toms River, included Freeholder John Bartlett who shared his family’s history as well as his own research into the war. By April 6, 1917 war efforts – then referred to as the Great War — were well underway in Europe, but the U.S. had previously taken an isolationist stance before declaring war, initiating a draft and seeing nationwide patriotism. With a brass ensemble from the Garden State Philharmonic performing the era’s patriotic music, local students from Toms River High School South, Jackson Memorial and Lakewood Middle School read from diaries and local newspaper accounts that described the draft and sentiments at home. Around the courtroom hung recreated service banners. Nick Wood described how the
Cape May Stitchers group took up the task of recreating the banners similar to the style that hung on town halls and churches here during WWI. The blue stars represent the number of soldiers from each town, with a yellow star and numeral denoting how many had died from that town. The event was in memory of the 2,433 Ocean County residents who fought in WWI and the 75 men who gave their lives in it. George P. Vanderveer of Bayville is considered the first Ocean County resident who died in the war when he came home 1918 to convalesce. The American Legion Post in Toms River is named in honor of Vanderveer, and Legionnaires and auxiliary helped to commemorate the courthouse ceremony with a color guard and leading a salute to the flag. Outside the courthouse, the Grecian pillars were decorated in bunting, and a restored WWI canon was on display. The canon, dedicated as Phenia after Vanderveer’s mother, was restored through the efforts of the Toms River American Legion.

Hindenburg: Continued From Page 1
The small meeting room in the Plumsted branch was filled with guests of all ages who had an interest in the fate of the “Concord of its time,” Jablonski called it. The D-LZ129, the Hindenburg, had been in operation for only 14 months, Jablonski said. It was the largest airship ever built. The Luftschiff bau Zeppelin GmbH company was in trouble and took money from Adolf Hitler’s Nazi government to stay af loat, he added. Hence, the airship was used as a propaganda machine for the Third Reich, f lying over the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin and making other trips around Germany.
Geese:
Continued From Page 1 the land and in the water, will cost around $2,000. The lights should be installed and operate after the hatchlings are mature enough to fly and leave the area. Otherwise, growing up with the lights, the geese will become accustomed to them. Canada Geese in New Jersey usual start nesting in March and into April. Females can lay up to 10 eggs, but generally lay between four and six. The chicks hatch about a month later, and although they are water bound a mere 24 hours after hatching, can take up to 73 days to fledge,
The Manchester Times, April 15, 2017, Page 5 The dirigible took three years to build, from 1932 to 1935. It cost $3 million in build. It first carried passengers in 1936, making trips not only to Lakehurst, but Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Round-trip tickets went for $740 round trip per passenger, Jablonski said. The Hindenburg’s f light to Lakehurst on May 3, 1937, was the first of 17 scheduled trips that year. Inside the meeting room, rain could be heard pounding the roof as thunder rolled. Jablonski said April 6’s weather was similar to what the Hindenburg’s crew faced when they made it to New Jersey on May 6, he said. The crew always took guests to see the Manhattan skyline, and this day f lew up and down
the Jersey Shore until the storms passed. What happened next has been recounted thousands of times. Jablonski filled in some tidbits not generally discussed. Jablonski shared: Lakehurst, that one-square-mile borough surrounded by Manchester, has the distinction having the first official title of International Airport. Two hundred fifty men were required to land the Hindenburg, but there were only 60 soldiers stationed at Lakehurst. So, locals would line up, waiting to get a chance to help. They worked morning until night, and were paid $1 for the day’s labor. A person could earn $4 extra each month helping with the landing. The Hindenburg disaster is still one
of the mostly widely known disasters, due to it being filmed. Sure, everyone knows about The Titanic, but no one was there to film it. Locals, wanting to cash in on the disaster, cleaned out their cupboards and attics and burned items and sold them to eager tourists as “authentic” remains. The remains of the Hindenburg were taken to a junk yard in Perth Amboy, where the owner cashed in letting people pay for pieces of the dirigible. Authentic remains—the real kind— sell for tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars today. Jablonsk i brought with him silverware with the engraved “DZR,” which can fetch $14,000. A cross brace recently sold for $200,000, he said.
take flight. The lights do not harm the geese. Canada Geese at Lake Horicon have left the sandy beach covered in green dropping more than twice the size of a quarter. Some sources said each goose can eat up to four pounds of grass each day, and drop three pounds of bacteria-ridden feces, going about once every 20 minutes. The droppings affect the lake’s water as well; it was shut down twice last summer, although borough clerk Bernadette Dugan said the lake can close down because of heavy rains and not exclusively from the droppings. She added that public works cleans the beach at least once a day.
Borough officials said other efforts to curb or eliminate Canada Geese population have failed. Destroying nests only leads the male and female, who mate for life, to make another nest. A female will lay more eggs if she sees hers were wiped out. The borough has addled eggs using oil, which stops development of the egg’s embryo before 14 days. The Humane Society of the U.S. said that method is 95 to 100 percent effective when done properly. Because Canada Geese are protected, destroying eggs requires a permit, which council president Steven Oglesby said the borough possesses. The borough will likely use this method
for curbing the geese problem: oil the eggs, install the lights, move the electronic sign to the lake warning people not to feed the geese, and write tickets to those who do. There are signs dotting the lake that say feeding wildlife is forbidden. Officials said the signs are ignored, so the geese have another reason to stay. Mayor Harry Robbins, who works for Lakewood Township, said he has spoken to officials from several villages within the township that use the LED lights. They are satisfied with the results, he said. If Lakehurst goes with the lights, they come with a 180-day money back guarantee.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Media Bias Distorts The Truth We frequently hear Donald Trump bash the media and deride some network as “fake news.” What his words fail to note is that fake news goes both ways and was a big help in getting him elected. Since the removal of the Fairness Doctrine, a clear divide has taken place in the media. Many networks report with obvious bias and the news has become more a reality TV show than a source of accurate information. The result is a poorly informed public with extremist views. During the Obama years, right wing media fed viewers a steady diet of cleverly crafted negative spin on his initiatives. Efforts to improve the health care system were portrayed as descent into socialism, attempts to curb gun violence as an assault on the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens and use of diplomacy in international disagreements as weak kneed appeasement. Such opinionated and misleading reporting also convinced millions of voters the country was on a downward spiral and would be best served by turning to a billionaire businessman with a history of shafting the working man. Trump rode this wave of incendiary reporting all the way to the White House. Media bias distorts the truth by blurring the line between reporting and editorializing, creating a form of news where opinions are cleverly presented as fact. The news is further distorted by omission, with many networks reporting of only what supports the opinion they’d like viewers to have.
Sadly this kind of slanted reporting is alright with many viewers who are happy not having to consider the other side’s ideas. People tune to a particular network for validation of their existing beliefs rather than a full accounting of the news. The ultimate hypocrisy of Trump’s complaints is his appointment of Steve Bannon to a top advisory position. Bannon is the former head of Breitbart, an alt right network that spins daily conspiratorial nonsense based on flimsy or fabricated evidence. Trump supporters will no doubt cry foul when he receives the same treatment from left leaning networks that Obama did from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Breitbart and others. But this is the inevitable result as what goes around comes around. Neither Conservatives nor Liberals benefit from a divided media. What is truly in the best interests of all Americans is an accurate and impartial media, even if that means both sides of the political debate having to face some harsh realities about the ideology they embrace. The purpose of the media is to inform, not influence, the public. No biased media outlet should be trusted for a simple reason: Half the truth can never be the truth. Until integrity and impartiality return to the media the political divide will continue to grow and a climate will exist where ideological purity is considered more important than effective solutions born of mutual respect and compromise.

Wear Reflective Clothing As a senior who has been driving around Berkeley Township, Toms River, and the rest of Ocean County for many years, I’ve almost hit people walking their dogs a couple of times because I can’t see them. I must advise all the people of Ocean County, and especially people in the senior communities, that after dusk they should wear a piece of clothing that is very visible, or wear a yellow or red belt or carry a lit flashlight when walking their dog. Please avoid being hit by a car because drivers cannot see you in dark clothing. Bob Martino Berkeley
Temporary Ban On Radical Muslims Welcome After the recent outcry from Americans, I have to wonder why they are surprised at the temporary banning of radical Muslims into our country. Trump campaigned on this issue along with other issues and he is keeping his word. Our troops are around the world risking their lives to keep us safe for this very reason. Don’t we owe them
Letters To isThe Editor creating its own fear. press releases which divulge back-up?. It’s not all Muslims and if someone just wants to come here with his or her family, we want them but not the ones who can make trouble. The die-hard liberal press is nauseating, flying the Constitution in our faces. The constitution welcomes all who will vow their allegiance to America – is that asking too much? Just ask the families of those who have lost a relative in this ongoing war. If everyone would take a breath and realize that this was promised to be done and it is and I for one am glad – it’s temporary people until the fine print is selected. Please God, bless America and its leaders. Bette Kooreman Whiting
Russian Hysteria “Whatever Americans think of the next president’s other policies, exceedingly dangerous US-Russian conflicts have become the greatest threat to American and international security;” this is according to journalist Stephen F.

Probably one of the biggest issues lingering among the feeds of many news outlets and networks would have to have been the accusations on Russians for the hacking and toying with the U.S. presidential election. The New York Times reported that the CIA came to the conclusion that Russia had been meddling in the election with the sole intent of helping soon to be president Trump, rather than to disrupt the election as a whole. The Washington Post had also came out with a similar story, but notioned that the FBI isn’t as confident in this conclusion. This mentality that Russia wishes to overtake the U.S in any possible way is an outdated concept, so to keep panicking over anything having to do with Russians defenestrates the concept of the Cold War coming to an end in the first place. People often take information they hear as fact the second they hear it, which can be very destructive to a society. America isn’t new to the idea of misconstruing information. During the great space race, a race between America and Russia to see who can make it to space fi rst, America, as a whole got scared when Russia released a satellite into space, thinking that they were watching our every move, again, causing mass hysteria. While there are many ways at which to go about solving this problem, everyone has their own ideas on how to handle it correctly. Some say maybe having an entirely transparent government may help–which means our national government would hold back little to no information from the public. This idea would eliminate the question of Russian threat, possibly solving each problem as they arise. Another stance, lightly branching off of governmental transparency, is for the President of the United States to release public statements dissolving these accusations and wild beliefs. This means holding
the data of research about the problem at heart, and informing society that there is no evident threat. Finally, a rather well thought solution, although an extreme one, would be to entirely sever Russia from America. The only real benefit of this solution is that it would neutralize public fear of any type of Russian infiltration in the government. This would also mean placing an embargo on any and all trade with Russia, ultimately ceasing Russia’s grip on the common American’s hand. This topic has been causing mayhem in the political and social media realm, and this hysteria is severely hurting our relations with Russia and other countries alike. The situation has been continuing to get out of hand in the most recent events. “Even a meeting last year between Russia’s chief rabbi and a lawyer who happened to work for the Trump Organization is being cast as some sort of sinister spy encounter” [nationalinterest.org]. People are just looking for more things to be concerned about, which is not always bad. If we stop worrying so much about these things then maybe we can get stuff done. In order to move forward we need to set aside our fears, threat or not, and learn to carry on and safeguard ourselves physically, mentally, and socially. Don’t just trust every source you hear from. Get the facts, find the real sources and stay educated. That last thing someone wants to do is look a fool when their time comes. William Clanton III Barnegat

Pay Gap Needs Closing From The Desk Of
Congressman Chris Smith
WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 4 marked Equal Pay Day and according to the American Association of University Women, women in New Jersey make 80 cents for every dollar a man makes, and nationally it is even worse. And
contrary to myth, it has nothing to do with education. In fact, according to AAUW, the pay inequality increases from high school g radu ates (78 percent) to some college or an associate degree (77 percent), and increases even
f ur ther with bachelor’s and advanced degrees (74 percent). Pay disparity is real and needs to be fi xed. That is why I am glad to announce that I am an original cosponsor of the Paycheck Fair ness Act of 2017, a
step in the right direction, which enhances the protections and effectiveness of the Equal Pay Pact to help eliminate sex discrimination in the payment of wages, and to have supported the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
Ocean County Officials: We Are Not A Sanctuary County
Freeholder Forum by Freeholder John P. Kelly TOMS RIVER – Noting that Ocean County works closely and cooperatively with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of Homeland Security, county officials again reiterated the county is not a “sanctuary county.” “We are not a sanctuary county, nor has Ocean County ever had an interest in being a sanctuary county,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. “We have been actively working to correct the record and have Ocean County’s name removed from whatever lists are out there calling us a sanctuary county. “ICE has taken steps to
memorialize this information (March 31) by removing Ocean County’s name from its declined detainer outcome report list of sanctuary counties and cities,” Kelly added. In an email sent to Ocean County Jail Warden Sandra Mueller on March 30, an ICE official wrote: “I want to thank you again for the continued cooperation between the Ocean County Department of Corrections and ICE… I have submitted your updated policy regarding Immigration Detainers dated July 28, 2015 to the department responsible for Declined Detainer Outcome Report and have explained that Ocean County works very closely and coopera-
tively with ICE.” Shortly after the email, Ocean County’s name was no longer listed on the ICE declined detainer outcome report, ice.gov/declined-detainer-outcome-report accurately reflecting its status. “A top priority for Ocean County is to make certain our citizens and visitors are safe here,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “We work with Homeland Security and law enforcement in a partnership. Our current inmate policy makes certain individuals like gang members here illegally who pose a significant threat to public safety are kept off of our streets and are given over to the proper authorities.” Ocean County’s 48 Hour Immigration Detainer Policy was crafted on July 28, 2015 by Jail Warden Mueller. This was done to cooperate with the intention of detainer requests by ICE under the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP).

This policy was jointly developed with ICE. Under the policy Ocean County would maintain custody, not to exceed 48 hours, of a removable alien who has been identified as an immigration enforcement priority under the Priority Enforcement Program and that probable cause existed that these individuals are removable aliens. Earlier detainment procedures were not this specific and had not been created in partnership with ICE which appears to have resulted in the county being viewed as a sanctuary county. Kelly noted another example of Ocean County’s cooperation with ICE is
the assignment of an ICE officer to the Ocean County Department of Corrections to review all new commitments for possible ICE enforcement action. Kelly said that under the Priority Enforcement Program, the DHS is enabled to work with state and local law enforcement to take custody of individuals who pose a danger to public safety before those individuals are released into our communities. “Our detainer procedures went through some changes until we got together with ICE and hashed out a policy acceptable to all of us,” Kelly said. Despite the revisions made
by the county in cooperation with ICE, starting in the fall of 2015, the county began being identified on certain web sites as a Sanctuary City, even though its 2015 inmate policy had been developed in conjunction with ICE. “Clearly we work cooperatively with ICE,” Kelly said. “We will continue to reach out to those agencies that list us incorrectly and also let them know we are not on the ICE declined detainer outcome report.” Those agencies include the ACLU, the Center for Immigration Studies and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center and some media outlets.

Manchester Resident To Represent NJ In Senior Pageant
MANCHESTER – Carolyn Slade Harden, a resident of the Renaissance Adult Community, will participate as a contestant in the Ms. New Jersey Senior America Pageant at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City on May 31 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The purpose of the pageant is to honor and recognize those women who have reached the “age of elegance” (60 years of age or older), affirming the belief that seniors are the foundation of America. That is, the younger generation has the opportunity to build a better America based upon the knowledge and experience of seniors. The pageant searches for the gracious lady who best exemplifies the dignity, maturity, and inner beauty of all senior Americans. The annual pageant provides a day of entertainment, talent, and glamour in an elegant setting. Contestants are judged in the following categories: philosophy of life, evening gown, talent, and interview with the judges. Harden has been a resident of Manchester Township since 1998 and is very active in the community. At Renaissance, she was the first Choral Director where she produced and directed many shows showcasing the Renaissance Chorus. Currently, she sings and acts in the Performing Arts Club and performs with other musical groups within the community. Among the many highlights of her career in music: Harden made two records which were hits in various cities; she appeared on the popular television show American Bandstand, on PBS-Channel 13, and at the Apollo Theater in New York; and directed the Children’s Choir at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where she conducted Whitney Houston in her first solo performance; the Children’s and Youth Choirs at Bethany Baptist Church in Newark; and the Seton Hall University Gospel Choir.

Volunteers Promote Fire Safety At Pine Ridge Mobile Home Community
–Photo courtesy Manchester Police MANCHESTER – If a fire breaks out in your home, you may have just two minutes to escape. In an effort to reduce the number of home fire-related injuries and fatalities, the American Red Cross has launched the Red Cross Home Fire Campaign, helping local families take important steps to prevent fires and be better prepared should one occur. On April 1, volunteers from the Red Cross, Whiting Fire Company Station 33, Manchester Township Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and Pine Ridge at Crestwood Manufactured Home Community went doorto-door in the Pine Ridge Mobile Home Community offering free fire safety visits with smoke alarm installations in homes that needed them. By the end of the day in Pine Ridge, the volunteers had installed and tested 346 smoke
alarms. The volunteers were warmly greeted by the residents who were grateful for the safety equipment that may one day save their lives. “The many volunteers throughout Manchester Township, whether from our Fire Companies, First Aid Squads, CERT, or numerous other organizations, do a tremendous amount of work to assist their neighbors,” said Chief of Police Lisa Parker. “This smoke alarm installation initiative is just another example of the dedication these volunteers show in caring for our community and residents. Thank you to everyone who helped with this worthy cause.” The Red Cross wants to help you, your family and the community stay safe. Remember to test your smoke alarms monthly and practice your fire escape plan. For additional fire safety information, including free tools and resources, visit redcross.org/NJsmokealarms.

French Club Meetings In April
MANCHESTER–Manchester Branch Library’s adult French Club will hold two meetings in April. The Beginning/Intermediate Group will meet on April 18 at 2 p.m. They study the basics of the French language – vocabulary, grammar and basic conversation.

The meeting for those who are advanced speakers will take place on April 17 at 6 p.m. This is primarily a conversation group in which they discuss topical events in French,
read and discuss French texts and engage in other French oriented activities. It is geared toward individuals who are fluent in the language. In the April meeting they will be playing Trivial Pursuit, tout en français! Both programs offer participants the opportunity to meet and speak with others who are trying to brush up on or improve their French, discuss the French language and learn about French-speaking cultures.

then there is extra time to finish a project, make a card or just socialize. Membership is $5 a year and $1 each week.

New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign Provides Free Tree Seedlings To Residents
MANCHESTER – Free tree seedlings will be available to Manchester 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 3 p.m. on April 21 to 22, residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at Manchester Municipal Building, 1 Colonial Drive. 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 Manchester, 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. For more information, call Joe Veni at 732-657-8121, ext. 3309.

MANCHESTER – Shop Manchester is a partnership between Manchester Township and the local business community that gives residents the opportunity to earn rebates on their property taxes by shopping locally at participating businesses.

their third quarter tax bill. To obtain a free “Shop Manchester” card, residents can contact the Manchester Township Purchasing Division at 732-657-8121, ext. 3500 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cards will also be available to participating merchants.

We have become more and more health conscious. Visits to the dentist, eye doctor and family doctor have increased dramatically. Unfortunately, visits to the audiologist for suspicion of hearing loss have decreased. Most people are so busy visiting their doctors they have a tendency to put off seeking hearing health care for at least several years. As a general guideline, if you are asking your family or friends to repeat information on a daily basis, you should seek the services of an audiologist and have your hearing completely evaluated. Technology in the hearing aid world has dramatically blossomed. More and more individuals with hearing loss are interested in digital technology as opposed to conventional hearing aids, which are a thing of the past. A digital system incorporates listening from both ears through a computer which monitors speech sounds over a million times a second. Satisfaction studies clearly support the use of digital systems over conventional analog hearing aids. In my opinion, you get what you pay for. Digital hearing systems incorporating multiple microphone technology, en-
hanced noise reduction capabilities, data logging and/or artificial intelligence are strongly recommended over those first generation digital hearing systems. The smaller completely-in-the-canal digital hearing systems (i.e. almost invisible hearing aids) should not increase the cost of hearing instruments. The technology within the hearing instrument determines the cost. As a general rule of thumb, in my opinion, the smaller the hearing aid, the more problems you will have with it. As a reminder, insist on a 30- to 75day trial period with all digital hearing systems. Since you have a greater investment, your expectations regarding communication improvement should be higher. In my opinion, some of the more advanced digital hearing systems are manufactured by Phonak, Siemens, Sonic Innovations, GN Resound and Oticon. If you are asking people to repeat, turning the TV or radio louder than normal or if your family or friends are complaining that you have a hearing problem, I would strongly encourage you to have your hearing evaluated by an audiologist. If you are in need of amplification, remember that you always get what you pay for.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

JACKSON – Stroke strikes all ages, races, and genders. Learn what you can do for yourself, and those around you, at an educational Seminar at Bartley Healthcare on April 20. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, killing more than 130,000 Americans each year. Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds. A stroke happens when either a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot, or the vessel bursts. When either of these occur, the brain does not receive the oxygen-rich blood it needs and brain cells begin to die, and quickly. That’s why it’s extremely important to know the signs and symptoms of stroke – a person needs to be able to act the moment he or she suspects something is wrong. They can act FAST, if they learn what to do. Bartley Healthcare is partnering with CentraState Medical Center to host an educational seminar on Stroke, on April 20 at 6 p.m., at 175 Bartley Road. Guests will learn the risk factors and symptoms to look for, and what to do when they see them. There will be a light dinner and blood pressure screenings from 5
to 6 p.m., before the seminar. The presenter will be Ellen Ciacciarelli RN, MS, APN-C, CCRN, Nurse Practitioner and Stroke Coordinator at CentraState Medical Center. Seating is limited, so anyone interested in attending the “Don’t Be Struck Down By Stroke” educational seminar should call CentraState Medical Center at 732-308-0570, or visit centrastate.com, and click on Classes and Events. For more than 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. 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 having been listed by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Nursing Homes. Bartley Healthcare is Joint Commission accredited with special certification for their Memory Care and Post-Acute Programs. For more information, visit bartley healthcare.com or call 732-370-4700.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
DIY Hair Treatments For Frizzy, Dry And Dull Hair By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I’ve lived in the bitter cold of Queens, New York and Somerset Massachusetts until I was 11 years old, then hot and humid Ocala and Gainesville, Florida for 35 more years, and recently the past 6 years in the dry climate of Denver, Colorado. My hair’s seen a lot, yet it’s still thick and healthy so I’ll share my DIY tips with you today. There’s actually a much longer version of this article at my website. Confession: I’m a little too attached too my bottle of “It’s a 10 Miracle” and a flat iron straightener. Now, here are some tips: Dry or Frizzy Hair Avocado Use half of a ripe, buttery avocado. For best results, blend it in a blender or mash it really well, so it is super creamy and smooth (trust me, you don’t want to be picking out chunks of avocado from your hair). Natural fat in avocado will help smooth your hair strands and make them shine. You can thin this out with a little water. Shampoo it out. Olive oil The fats in olive oil can really luxe-up your locks, have you ever given olive oil to a dog to soften up his fur? Well, it works for you too! Use about one-quarter of a cup of it on its own or mixed with other ingredients for a beautiful sheen. It’s so softening that this tip will make people want to scratch behind your ears (kidding!). Shampoo it out. Oily or Flat Hair Apple cider vinegar
Ok, it doesn’t smell great, but apple cider vinegar clears away excess oil and may help dandruff. Put two tablespoons in a spray bottle with 4 ounces of water, and spray onto your hair until damp. Shampoo (and/or condition) your hair like normal. Corn starch This fine white powder is a DIY dry shampoo. Sprinkle a tablespoon or two onto your hair for 10 minutes; then brush it out. The cornstarch will absorb excess oil and give you that instant shampooed look. This is nice if you’re tired, have had recent surgery, or you’re disabled. You can buy commercial brands of “dry shampoo” but they sometimes contain weird chemicals. Balanced Normal Hair Eggs I prefer my eggs scrambled or as ‘egg salad’ to be honest, but if you can get past the ‘ick’ factor, the rich, fatty egg yolks moisturize and lend natural protein to your hair. Apply one or two lightly beaten eggs to your hair. You can also try just the yolks or just whites if you want to experiment, then shampoo as normal. Beer Yes, beer! You want to let it sit out in an open glass for an hour or so to eliminate the bubbles so it doesn’t foam all over the place. Hide it so your hubby doesn’t walk by and have himself a Bud. I don’t have to worry about that because my husband hates beer (so do I actually) but the protein in beer adds structure to your hair, meaning it’s a DIY hair volumizer.

A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though our community are either uninsured or underinsured. To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey. As the name suggests, UM/UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For instance, you are sitting at a red light minding your business when all of the sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week
in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled. Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Dog Fight
Dear Joel, My grandfather is getting too old to take proper care of his beautiful Ger man Shepherd Ranger. Ranger is well-cared for, with vet visits and grooming, it’s just hard for Pop to walk and play with him every day. My brother and I both love Ranger and we would each love to adopt him. Pop can’t decide what to do. I don’t want to fight with my brother, but I want Ranger to live a full and happy life. What do you think? Puppy Love in Tuckerton Dear Puppy Love, Ranger is one lucky dog to have so many people care about him. I’ve seen more than my share of divorcing couples resolve all their domestic issues, only to have bitter arguments over who gets the pets. Pets become part of the extended family. Your Pop is probably not able to decide because
Ranger is part of his family. Before you do anything, see what Ranger tells you. Maybe he’s happier than you think being Pop’s companion, even if Pop can’t take him on long daily walks. If you all agree he needs more activity, perhaps you and your brother could set up an alternate weekend schedule, like many people do with children. You and your brother can make sure Ranger is getting good and tuckered out on the weekends, so his weekdays with Pop are a welcome bit of rest. Over time, the whole arrangement will find its own path. The good news is it sounds like Ranger will always have a loving home. 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

MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP GYPSY MOTH AERIAL SUPPRESSION PROGRAM
Continued From Page 8
Manchester Township has entered into a cooperative gypsy moth control program with the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. DOWNSTOWN AIRPORT INC. 339 HARDING HIGHWAY VINELAND, NEW JERSEY 08360 DEP License # 90029A has been awarded the contract to apply Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (FORAY 76B, EPA Reg. # 73049-49) using aircraft to areas infested with gypsy moth larvae. Aerial application will begin on or after May 1, 2017 through June 15, 2017 or until completion from 5:30 to 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and possibly in the evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the affected areas. A map indicating the exact areas to be treated is available for inspection at the municipal building. Residents may contact the Municipal Clerk’s office at (732) 657- 8121, Manchester Town Hall, 1 Colonial Drive, Manchester, NJ 08759 for information regarding the exact date, application times and any other information concerning the treatment program. Individuals wishing additional information about pesticides may contact the National Pesticide Information Center at 1-800-858-7378. For emergencies call the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System at 1-800-222-1222. For pesticide regulation information, pesticide complaints, and health referrals call the New Jersey Pesticide Control Program at 609-984-6568. Upon request, the pesticide applicator or applicator business shall provide a resident with notification 12 hours prior to the application, except for Quarantine and Disease Vector Control only, when conditions necessitate pesticide applications sooner than that time. Additional information about the program is also available on the New Jersey Department of Agriculture’s website at: http://www.nj.gov/agriculture/divisions/pi/prog/gypsymoth.html
straight. In 2000, the state Department of Community Affairs audited the two Toms River fire districts and issued a report that they be combined under one chief with estimated savings of $251,000 per year based on a much smaller budget at that time. It also criticized wasteful spending practices which, if reformed, would produce additional savings. It was completely ignored. As a result, there are still two fire districts, ten commissioners, two chiefs, two assistant chiefs, two paid administrators (one of which makes $112,700 a year and has at least one other patronage job), and their staffs. There is a difference between “review” and “audit” the budget. We need another audit soon. Mr. Goresh claims that the Non-Bondable account is to replace apparatus that is approaching the end of its useful life. If so, then what are all the supplemental budget items which appear on the ballot each year? On this year’s ballot alone, there was a $450k appropriation “to buy replacement fire apparatus,” another $70k for “two vehicles,” and $120k for “interior lighting enhancements.” All of these items appear in the budget under “Capital Appropriations,” which is a separate category from “Non-Bondables”. In 2012, Commissioner Ray Latshaw successfully ran for election to that position in District 1. He distributed flyers criticizing the districts for their excessive
cost structure. Here are some excerpts: a.) “The waste includes dozens of inflated salaries for jobs, many unnecessary, with big titles and small responsibilities, including $114,000 a year for a radio operator, and a glorified $120,000 a year office clerk,” b) “...basic procedures such as fair bids on quality fi rematic equipment and vehicles are set aside to further compromise our fiscal practices,” c.) “The problem is politics gone wild with greed. The process is riddled with costly conflicts and payroll padding and the consequence is that taxpayers pay through the nose to fund poor management and extravagant salaries and benefits.” I had an opportunity last fall to discuss this subject with a volunteer who has a rank in the service. He replied, “it’s worse than that.” A few other items to address Mr. Goresh. The comparison with Middletown (Monmouth County) appeared in the Asbury Park Press as did their editorial that the mayor has the authority to place a district on budget. As far as scheduling the elections in the middle of winter in a single location unknown to the public to “avoid partisanship,” consider that District 1’s budget passed by a vote of 201 to 140, thanks largely to the insiders, and that school board candidates, who are also “non-partisan” stand for election in November at every polling station. I am convinced that someday soon we will read about the Toms River fire districts on the front page of the Press, and it won’t be for rescuing a pet from the river. Chris Crowley Toms River

Total Hip Arthroplasty Anterior Approach vs. Posterior Approach
T
By David Walinger, PTA, Barnegat Physical Therapy Assistant
otal hip arthroplasty (THA) is used worldwide as one of the most effective procedures for relieving pain, restoring function, and improving quality of life in patients with painful or deformed hip joints. Improvements in hip arthroplasty procedures have led to faster recovery, shorter hospitalization, and higher patient satisfaction. In the United States, more than 300,000 patients between 50-80 years of age undergo total hip replacement. The most common cause for requiring a THA is due to osteoarthritis or injury. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, joint stiffness, and decreased range of motion. THA has the ability to relieve pain and improve quality of life. Among all the joints in the human body, the hip joint has a faster, more durable and successful recovery following replacement. The hip joint is a balland-socket joint. The prosthetic (artificial) portion of the hip joint consists of two parts, a cup-like component that is attached to the acetabulum (portion of the pelvic bone), and a shaft with a round top that attaches to the femur (thigh bone of the leg). The damaged parts of the hip bone are removed, contoured and replaced with the prosthetic. These material combinations can include metal-on-polyethylene, metal-on-metal, and ceramic-on-ceramic. Total hip replacements can be performed with two techniques which include an anterior approach or posterior approach. The anterior approach is considered less invasive in comparison to the posterior approach. During a posterior approach, while lying on your side, your orthopedic surgeon will create a 4-7 inch incision behind the hip along the outer buttock area. The gluteus maximus
muscle is split but will not require repair. Two hip external rotator muscles are detached and then reattached to bone and will heal within 4-6 weeks. The anterior approach is usually performed creating an incision along the front upper thigh separating but not detaching muscle to avoid nerve damage. Following surgery, your physician will discuss your hip precautions to ensure a successful recovery.
HIP PRECAUTIONS Posterior Approach: What to avoid: • Sitting on low chair/toilets • Bringing you knee past you hip (>90 degrees of hip flexion) • Bending at the waist to pick up objects off the floor • Standing “pigeon toed” (inward rotation of feet) • Crossing of legs Anterior Approach: What to avoid: • Stepping backwards on your surgical leg • Crossing of legs • Lying on your stomach • Standing with your feet rotated outward
your recovery and reduce your postoperative pain. Outpatient physical therapy sessions will help restore range of motion and increase your proximal hip stability. Weight-bearing activities will help restore strength to optimal levels as well. This level of physical therapy focuses on activityspecific rehabilitation for your personal goals, such as a return to work or other activity. Your physical therapist will incorporate exercises that simulate those activities. These may include lifting techniques, pushing, pulling carts, climbing ladders, agility exercises, or light jogging depending on your recovery and activity level. Today, 80% of all hip replacements last for up to 20 years. Some are not always successful, leaving various factors which increase the chances of failure including an individual’s weight, compliance of hip precautions as well as level of activity and overall health status. Performing strengthening exercises is essential for stabilizing the hip during recovery. Excessively high impact exercises can cause too much force and can increase the likelihood of complications. Skilled manual therapy and rehabilitation is very important in order to regain full potential and proper recovery. For more information on the importance of physical rehabilitation following a total joint replacement surgery, please call (609) 660-1900 to schedule an appointment at our Barnegat location. DAVID WALINGER, PTA
*Please consult with your physician regarding hip precautions
PHYSICAL THERAPY Early postoperative therapeutic exercises are necessary for preventing blood clots and increasing blood circulation to your lower extremities. Early exercises are also important to strengthen muscles and maintain joint integrity. Following surgery, you will meet your supervising physical therapist in the recovery room to begin exercises implemented in your personal treatment plan. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but these exercises will speed

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

BUSINESS PROFILE T�� G������ S����� �� R���� 70, T��� R���� By Robert Verderese On Route 70 in Toms River, a premiere preschool specializing in early childhood development, The Goddard School offers programs and services for infants, toddlers, preschool, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, as well as before/after care and summer camp until age 12. Led by onsite owner, Alisa Khaitan, alongside Educational Director, Meredith Compton, and Jessica Montalbano, Alisa’s assistant, The Goddard Schools overarching aim is to foster, in a safe, loving and nur turing environment, the emotional and cognitive development of each child, helping children develop into joyful, confident learners who are prepared for success in school and in life. So what makes The Goddard School on Route 70 stand out from other preschools? For star ters, the school places a strong emphasis on family involvement: “a cornerstone of our school is that we are extremely family-based. We coordinate many activities and events that we invite the parents to throughout the year, such as family barbeques, a Not-So-Scary Haunted House, Breakfast with Santa and many other themed-based activities th roug hout the yea r,” Alisa says. Indeed, open communication with parents is of the utmost impor t ance at T he Goddard School of Route 70. On a daily ba sis, t ea che r s a nd pa re nt s collaborate with one another to ensure that each child’s needs are met with g reat satisfac-
tion. “Parents are comforted knowing they can always find us here. We are available to help them all the time,” Jessica says. This ongoing communication promotes a more positive self-esteem in the children, and ultimately prepares them for kindergarten and beyond. Another feature that differentiates The Goddard School from other schools is their philosophy that children learn best through play and when they are having f u n. Me re d it h ex pla i n s t he school’s play-based approach i n the followi ng way: “O u r fun-filled learning techniques are effective in that children are more apt to remember lessons if they have fun doing them. Children are more inclined to show eagerness toward learning if they are enjoying themselves.” For example, if children learn about the planets by singing a fun song about them, they will likely remember that song and the information they learned. Ongoing research also shows that playful teachers can increase their students’ long-term aca dem ic per for ma nce. At The Goddard School, teachers introduce concepts at an early age, but disg uise them as a f u n activit y. Invar iably, the children become engaged and interested in the activity, while also having fun. Additionally, i ndependent play is a crucial component to The Goddard School’s learning philosophy. “We do have some teacher-directed activity, but generally we encou rage the children to use their own imag-

The Goddard School believes it is paramount to a child’s development for them to figure things out autonomously versus when teachers tell them to do something. This practice results in children unlocking their own potential. By allowing a child’s freedom of expression to shine through, teachers make it possible for them to explore the world on their terms. “We may say, ‘let’s draw A for apple and apples are red.’ But it’s OK for the children to draw a blue apple and a purple apple and an orange apple,” Alisa explains. The special bond bet ween teachers and children at The Goddard School on Route 70 cannot be overstated: “we’re small enough that we all know one another qu it e wel l. T he ch ild ren k now the teachers, and that makes them feel comfortable a n d c a r e d -fo r,” Alisa says. This child-centric, i nt i m a t e le a r n i ng approach is wonderful in that it helps teachers determine which children need more help, or more of a chal-
lenge. Teachers can customize lea r n i ng pla ns not on ly for specific classes, but for specific individuals. T h e c o n c e p t of love a n d friendship celebrated this past Vale nt i ne’s Day prov ide s a wonderful teaching model for the students at The Goddard School on Route 70 in Toms River. On Valentine’s Day this year, three young girls listen at tent ively to thei r teacher, Ms. Nancy, reading to them a love-filled sentiment sent into the school from one of the children’s family members. Some of the notes were composed by parents; some by grandparents; and others by the children’s siblings—though all of them were written in the key of love. By hav i ng d if fe re nt fa m ily members write notes for the children, the teachers hope to demonstrate that even though we are all different, we are all deserving to be loved and cared-for. T he Godd a rd School pre school system prides itself on its unique dual-management system, a distinguisher in the early childhood education industry. Franchise owners are onsite at each location and work alongside an educational director, whose focus is to communicate and work with teachers, as well as to implement The Goddard School cur riculum. This dual-management system ensures a hands-on, commu-
nit y-focused approach when it comes to early child hood education. As owner and educational director, Alisa and Meredith, work as a team and a re read ily available to t he children, their families and the teachers. “When splitting tasks between myself as the owner and Meredith as the educational director, the dual-management system allows for me to focus on the business aspects of the s cho ol wh i le Me r e d it h c a n focus her efforts in the classroom.” Alisa explains. Although the program at The Goddard School is for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years, they also provide services for older children. For example, the school offers a pickup and drop-off bussing location for Toms River and Manchester elementary schools. For children, up to 12 years old, The Goddard School’s faculty provides super vision, guidance, and help with homework, both before and after school. Additionally, The Goddard School offers camp with daily trips for children up to 12. The Goddard School located in Toms River is located at 255 Route 70, near Whitesville Road by the Manchester border.

Seder Surprise: Impress Passover Guests With A Fresh Take On A Jewish Classic By Wolfgang Puck “Why is this night different from all other nights?” That’s the age-old question at the heart of the Passover Seder, the ritual meal held on the first night of the holiday (which falls on April 10 this year) that remembers the exodus of the Jewish people from slavery in ancient Egypt. At Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills, we’ll be holding our own Seder for the 33rd consecutive year, welcoming guests at a special meal featuring my culinary team’s interpretations of all the traditional foods. One of those interpretations in particular raises another question that my chefs and I have heard for every one of those events: “Why is this gefilte fish different from all other gefilte fishes?” I’m happy to answer that question, and provide you with the recipe. First, let me explain what the dish actually is. “Gefilte” is a Yiddish word that means “stuffed,” and here it refers to a stuffing-like mixture of finely chopped fish mixed with egg, onion, seasonings and a fine meal of matzo, the cracker-like unleavened bread served at Passover in observance of the fact that the Jewish people fled Egypt so quickly they had no time for their bread dough to rise. Most people experience gefilte fish straight out of a jar, a product that all too often receives reactions typified by turned up noses or even rude comments about a flavor some find either too fishy or too bland and a texture sometimes described as dense or rubbery. But when I first learned about it and tasted it many years ago, I immediately thought that I could make something better myself. I also realized that gefilte fish really wasn’t very different from something I’d learned to make in the French restaurants where I’d trained. That’s fish quenelles, delicate egg-shaped dumplings of fish bound with breadcrumbs and egg and then poached in water or fish stock. So I began experimenting, and came up with a version of gefilte fish that combined Jewish tradition with classic French technique. I separated the eggs and then beat the whites, folding them into the fish mixture for extra lightness. I included chopped onion that I first sauteed in extra-virgin olive oil, bringing a hint of mellowness to its sharp bite; and I added chopped fresh herbs for a taste of springtime. Finally, I took the name “gefilte” much more literally than it usually is, wrapping portions of the fish mixture into individual blanched cabbage leaves, and then gently oven-poaching the individual packages in fish stock. The result is a surprisingly bright-tasting dish that your Seder guests will find delightful. But you don’t even need to throw a Seder to serve it. CABBAGE-WRAPPED PASSOVER GEFILTE FISH Serves 12 1 head green cabbage 1/2 cup (125 mL) matzo meal 1 quart (1 L) good-quality canned fish stock 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 medium yellow onion, minced
2 pounds mild white fish fillets such as pike, carp, or whitefish, cut into chunks 3 large cage-free eggs, separated 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped Italian parsley 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves 2 to 3 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 tablespoon freshly ground white pepper Cayenne pepper, to taste 1 medium organic carrot, peeled and cut into thin julienne strips 1 medium organic leek, white part only, halved lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed, and cut into thin julienne strips Bottled grated horseradish in vinegar, with or without beet juice, for serving Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the head of cabbage and blanch for 5 minutes; then, carefully lift it out, leaving the water in the pot, and transfer to a basin filled with cold water. When cool enough to handle, remove the whole leaves and cut away the tough core. As you peel off the outer leaves, you may have to return the head to the boiling water to soften the inner leaves. Lay the leaves out to dry on a clean kitchen towel. Put the matzo meal in a small bowl. Cover with 1 cup (250 mL) of the fish stock and leave to soak. In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until tender but not yet browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. In a wooden bowl or on a chopping board, chop the fish finely with a curved chopper or a large knife. Add the soaked matzo meal, the cooled onion, 3 egg yolks, parsley, tarragon, 2 teaspoons salt, white pepper and cayenne to taste; continue chopping until thoroughly combined. In a clean medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form firm but not yet stiff peaks. Stir a little into the fish mixture; then, quickly but gently fold in the remaining whites. To test for flavor, bring a little fish stock to a simmer, add a small ball of the fish mixture, and cook for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding a little more salt or cayenne as you like. Heat the remaining stock and spoon a little into an 11-by-17-inch baking pan. Divide the fish mixture into 12 portions, about 4 ounces (125 g) each, enclosing each in an oblong shape inside 1 or 2 cabbage leaves, wrapping the leaves around the filling like a package, folding the bottom, then the 2 sides, and then the top over the fish; as the leaves get smaller, you will have to use 2 to wrap a portion. As each package is formed, place it in the prepared baking pan, seam-side down. Pour the remaining stock over the packages and top with the julienned carrot and leek. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, leave the fish packages to cool in the stock, and then transfer the packages and stock to an airtight container and refrigerate until serving time. To serve, place one package on each of 12 plates, garnishing with some julienned carrots and leeks. Pass horseradish for guests to add to their plates to taste.
