Right, Anne Springs Close, her mother Frances Ley Springs and brother Sonny after arriving in Lakehurst, New Jersey on the Hindenburg airship in 1936. By Sara Grillo L A K E H U R ST – Powdered milk, a glass smoking booth and jigsaw puzzles. That’s how childhood Hindenburg passenger Anne Springs Close might sum up her three-and-a-half-day journey on the German airship 81 years ago.
Close was only 10 years old when she set foot on the 804-footlong airship after spending the summer of 1936 in Germany with her family. Her father, a pilot in World War 1 who was an ace for first the British then the Americans, flew back home
on the German Zeppelin that July. He then sent her mother, Frances Ley Springs, a cablegram that said it was perfectly safe – bring the family! “My mother went and bought five tickets, and somehow she got ticket number 1,000,” said Close, adding that they
made a little “to do” about it in Frankfurt, presenting her mother with a platter made out of duralumin, the same lightweight aluminum metal used in the Hindenburg support structure. It was the Hindenburg’s last flight that summer. (Passenger - See Page 4)

“I remember a good deal about it,” said Close. She remembers the airship being a very confined space, with not much room to walk around in. She and her brother Sonny spent much of their time looking out the windows, which she says unbelievably, had no screens. Jigsaw puzzles sat on every table to pass the time, but many of the passengers – mostly German businessmen – preferred to spend their time smoking. Close said that passengers would put their cigarettes and cigars in a big metal box, and when they were ready to smoke, enter what looked like a large glass telephone booth. “My mother spent a great deal of time in this glass booth – it was very busy.”

said Close. “People seem more interested in it now.” What she hasn’t forgotten about is the day she heard about the fateful Hindenburg explosion on the radio nearly a year later, on May 6, 1937. Close’s father was home entertaining a German pilot who he had fought against in World War 1. As they sat comparing notes and reminiscing about dogfights they had been in together, Close and her brother ran into the den to tell them what they had just heard on the radio. Everyone was devastated to hear the news. While there has never been a defi nitive cause for the explosion, Close pointed out that everyone was fearful of fi re at that time. “We were aware of the fact that any smoking had to be done in that glass booth.”

this budget sets our tax rate at the lowest it has been since 2013.” This proposed budget includes: increased capital improvement account to $500,000; continued paving plan; continued systematic replacement of vehicles; continued
park renovations; continued Manchester Day; full slate of concerts and recreation programs; and continued senior services. Palmer broke down the budget by percentages. Salaries comprise 44 percent of the total budget. Operations come in second at 33 percent. Debts, statutory and “other” make up the remaining 25 percent. The township has seen increased revenue streams through inspections, municipal court and state Department of Transportation grants. However, state aid has remained flat at $3,217,467 over the last three years. Health care costs will decrease for the township, as those costs shift to members. Manchester will save $840,000, with a net
cost of $4 million for 2017. The total cost of insurance is $5.15 million. Palmer also touched upon the eastern and western side water and sewer budgets. The eastern side budget is $2.53 million. The biggest change in that budget is the paying off of the bond for purchase. The eastern sewer budget is $4.325 million, a reduction of $300,000. The western water budget remained flat at $2.8 million. The western sewer budget increased $110,000 to $2.735 million due to debt service and repairs. Manchester CFO Diane Lapp said copies of the budget are available in the township clerk’s office and the website, manchestertwp.com.

As for the food, there were two seatings for each meal, and she remembers there being a chef and the food being fairly good, although she wasn’t too interested in food at that time. The only downfall? “They had powdered milk, which I hated.” Sleeping conditions were cramped as well. Close and her mother slept in a small compartment, while her brother and uncle slept in hammocks up a catwalk. The Lakehurst-bound flight was supposed to take only three days, but because of strong winds the airship had to fly further north and was delayed until 6 a.m. the next morning. Close and her family were expected to meet guests in New York, but had to alert them they wouldn’t be there until the next day. “I really forgot about it for 50 years,”

Lighthouse International Film Festival Kicks Off
By Sara Grillo LONG BEACH ISLAND – The Long Beach Island Foundation for the Arts & Sciences was filled with about 100 locals, filmmakers and enthusiasts on May 6 for the 9th Annual Lighthouse International Film Festival (LIFF) Kick-Off Party. Guests were invited to take part in a silent auction, sample local seafood – sushi, mini crab cakes, shrimp pasta – wings, ice cream and spirits, all of which were donated, as well as preview films entered in the festival and watch an hour-long screening of a film made in Uganda. The LIFF celebrates four days of features, shorts, documentaries and family films from around the world in honor of Long Beach Island’s historic Barnegat Lighthouse. “The Lighthouse Film Festival is a gift to our community and we are so happy to have it here and it’s so much fun,” said Managing Director Christine Rooney. The film festival will take place from June 8 to 11 on the island, with different films being screened each day and Breakfast with the Filmmakers’ on Saturday and Sunday. Sneak Peak From Local Filmmakers Angela Andersen was brimming with excitement and rocking an oyster necklace arriving at the kick-off party, as she just found out the night before that the film she produced, The Oyster Farmers, had made it into the film festival’s lineup. The film is a documentary that focuses on oyster
aquaculture in the Barnegat Bay. Its director Corrine Ruff is a returning filmmaker who had a film featured in the LIFF in 2013. Another locally produced film that’s generating some buzz is Swim Team, a documentary that chronicles the rise of the Jersey Hammerheads, a competitive swim team made up of children and teens on the autism spectrum. The big screen is clearly something that LBI locals get excited about. According to volunteer Amy Williams, only three people signed up on Facebook for an Earth Day film screening fundraiser of Ocean Frontiers III at Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Company, but over 100 people showed up. Speaking about the kick-off party, she said, “A lot of it is to get people excited about the event and get people together who maybe haven’t seen each other in a whole year.” She said she doesn’t feel like people really appreciate how amazing it is to have such culture on the island. “This is something I feel like you find in New York City.” Ugandan Film Screening Partygoers were treated to a screening of Who Killed Captain Alex, a film made with only $85 in Uganda, Africa. The subtitled movie is an action/comedy where Captain Alex, the local military’s top soldier, is sent out to destroy the evil Tiger Mafia, which controls the city of Kampala from the shadows. Its producer Alan Hofmanis was at the party to talk about the movie and the unlike-

The movie’s director Isaac Nabwana, who was unable to get a visa to come to the U.S., never imagined anyone outside of his own village would ever see it. His filmmaking process requires him to burn the movie to a disk, and then completely erase his computer in order to make the next film. “Guns” used in during action scenes in the movie, which Hofmanis passed around at the screening, were made from everyday items like luggage handles.
Hofmanis said the movie is huge among Uganda’s locals. “Basically if you’re ten years old, you know it,” he said. “It’s the biggest film in Africa, period.” Instead of Hollywood or Bollywood, the movie industry there is known as Wakaliwood. Nabwana has made over 50 other films and has 14 others on the way. His 2016 film Bad Black will be screened at the film festival. In a region where few people have electricity, TV sets or DVD players, he said (Festival - See Page 7)

Festival:
Continued From Page 5 Ugandan locals often watch Nabwana’s movies family style. Movie disks are sold to them for under $1. Typically a few short films are shown at the kick-off party, but because Hofmanis was in town, the LIFF staff jumped at the chance to have him come in and showcase his unique work. The Film Selection Process The LIFF invites filmmakers from around the world to submit their work into the festival. Although this year’s festival does include a few New Jersey features, Executive Director Eric Johnson said that’s not necessarily the goal. “We never want it to be just New Jersey films or only international films, we want it to be the best films – that’s our goal,” he said. He said they try to make the submission process as simple as possible for filmmakers, since it already takes a lot of time and money to make a movie. The selection process takes six months, from November to March, during which time Johnson and the rest of the film festival staff decide how they want to craft the year’s program, what the trends are and which films they want to include in the festival. He said the festival has continued to grow year over year, and that they’re trying to attract filmmakers who want to keep coming back to the festival and encourage them to tell other filmmakers about it. “We’re not a market festival, they’re not coming here to sell their films for millions
of dollars like at Sundance, but what they’re getting is real, honest feedback from people about what they think of their film,” said Johnson. What’s Next? Film screenings will be held at three different venues on the island and will include a virtual reality element for the first time. Johnson said that many LIFF pass holders will attend Breakfast with the Filmmakers’ to decide which films they want to see based on what piques their interest. He said that sometimes a film isn’t even on someone’s radar, but then a filmmaker speaks to one small detail that catches their ear and encourages them to go see it. The festival kicks off with a screening of King of Peking on June 8 at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences. Johnson described it as a “fun, funny, sweet” film that just premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Set in 1990s Beijing, China, “It’s about a father who thinks the best way to bond with his 10-year-old son is to bring him into the family DVD bootlegging business,” he added. Director Sam Voutas will also be at the screening. Two other films that have been announced are Dina, about the challenges facing an autistic couple and Quest, a documentary shot over the course of eight years that follows the lives of a North Philadelphia family. Both films recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. “We have a ton of filmmakers coming in for the festival, more than I ever would have thought nine years ago,” said Johnson. More information about the festival can be found at lighthousefilmfestival.org.

Why Should We Celebrate National Prayer Day? In May the President is calling for another National Day of Prayer. Why? Has prayer brought peace to the world, or to the bloodshed capital of all history, the Holy Land? Has prayer emptied children’s hospitals-has death taken a holiday? Were the prayers of six million answered? Did prayer break the chains of the slaves? Has closed eyes, clasped hands and bended knee given wisdom to Congress? As one skeptic once noted: “Life depends on certain facts. The flood destroys: church and brothel fall alike before the deluge, lightning strikes both the pious and pervert alike. Can we delay or hasten the tides by prayer? Can counting beads change the direction of the hurricane or silence the volcano? Is there any evidence for a yes to these questions.” Mark Twain would express his experience with prayer this way: “After my bible teacher had explained the verse ‘ask and ye shall receive,’ I spent three days praying for gingerbread. When none materialized, I appropriated a convenient piece. I concluded that prayer is an inferior mode of acquisition.” Our representatives weren’t elected to be our spiritual leaders, but to conduct the people’s business. That is to say, keep us safe, analyze budgets and fill

In sanctioning a National Day of Prayer, the government has taken sides on a matter that must be left to individual conscience. The principle of State-Church separation has served this country well.

Become A Volunteer, Change Your Life I am writing to share my excitement. I am hosting a Volunteer Fair at the Ocean County Library, Toms River Branch, in Mancini Hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 20. If you are looking to make friends in the community, regain a sense of purpose, and help people or animals in your community, this is the place you want to be. A friend of mine from Vermont said that she was going to a Stone Soup Social where people could come for dinner and check out nonprofits in her area who were looking for volunteers. I was inspired to host a similar event right here in Ocean County. When I started gathering contact information on potential organizations, I noticed how many of them were working towards the same goals. The event has therefore evolved to be a networking opportunity for

with each other as well. We will serve complimentary bagels, coffee and tea, provide a kid’s activity corner, and give away door prizes. Admission is free! Two years ago, I experienced a personal loss. I was left feeling unmotivated and down. My husband encouraged me to start volunteering with him and I began to feel more like myself. I found a real sense of purpose. I never guessed how good it would make me feel but as I started working diligently to come up with new ideas and putting them into action for organizations I feel passionate about, I realized that I was healing. It turns out that volunteer work really helps those who are volunteering just as much, or even more, than it helps those for whom we work. I hope to share this experience with all of you.

Trump Is Cutting Corporate Tax Rates, Raising Debt The Trump Administration is proposing to cut the corporate tax rate to 15 percent overall stating that businesses in the United States cannot compete in other countries with foreign businesses that pay lower taxes in those countries. This statement is not correct because U.S. companies with products that are at least 50 percent U. S. content are taxed at dividend rates by using the Interest Charge Domestic International Sales Corporation (IC-DISC) tax rules. The highest dividend rate is 20 percent. It is ironic that individuals who claim our debt is too high have no problem accelerating the debt as long as it lowers their taxes. Janet Buonagura Brick, NJ
Aging Seaside Bridge Should Have Been Replaced
The temporary re-opening of the Route 37 eastbound bridge leading into Seaside Heights in mid-May is a true signal that warm weather is upon us and the summer tourism season is about to begin. I truly appreciate the work that has been done on what is known locally as the Mathis
lengthening the life of the span. The maintenance upgrades will help motorists travel across the span with greater safety. And while the work on the bridge is helping to make it stronger and better, I am however disappointed the state of New Jersey did not carry out the original requests from local officials and businesses to replace the span with a new one. Replacement of the deck in the moveable span, flanking spans and the approach spans will help in the meantime but the structure itself still is a moveable span bridge completed in 1950. A new bridge could have been built higher, eliminating the need for openings throughout the summer and would have provided Ocean County with a new structure that would last far into the future. A new bridge would also have helped with economic development along the corridor that should be viewed as a gateway to tourism in Ocean County. A new bridge would have been a far better choice than millions of dollars in improvements spent on a span that is 67 years old. When the work is completed, the structure is still 67 years old. According to the state Department of Transportation, the project was awarded for $56.4 million and is funded in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) through the National Highway Performance Program. A new span similar to the Route 37 westbound Tunney Bridge with a bike lane and sidewalks for pedestrians would also have been better for public safety. It’s not pleasant waiting for the Mathis bridge to open and close on a busy summer Saturday for boat traffic on the Barnegat Bay. Nor is it conducive should emergency responders need to access the northern barrier island quickly. Unfortunately, Ocean County, I believe, has been short-changed when it came to this project. We continuously see major infrastructure improvements get funded in the northern area of the state while Ocean County gets “good enough.” While these improvements are welcome, it is still not what local and county officials had asked for – a new bridge that didn’t have to be opened on the half-hour for navigational traffic. Maybe someday Ocean County will be heard. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari Toms River

Clearing Up Confusion About Manchester’s Energy Aggregation Program
From The Desk Of
Council President - By Council President
Sam Fusaro MANCHESTER – On February 28, the Township Council awarded a competitive contract to TriEagle Energ y, to provide electricity to Manchester residents for 24 months beginning on June 1, 2017. Over the past 2 months, there has been a buzz on social media and other i n for mat ion excha nges regarding the program. D u r i ng t h i s t i m e , t h e Council has held numerous meetings throughout the town helping residents to both understand the program and make the right decision for their situation as to whether to stay in the
program or opt-out. From those sessions, we realized there has been a lot of inaccurate information being passed around. The Community Energy Aggregation program is authorized by the NJ State Legislature. It allows the Gover ning body of any town to enter into contracts with energ y providers, like ours with TriEagle, to provide residents the ability to save money on energy costs. This program also has built-in protection for the residents. These include that the contract rate must be fi xed for the life of the contract and
that at no time can the contract price ever exceed the State utility company price (in our case JCP&L). While the Township Council would have preferred an opt-in process, the state law only allows an opt-out procedure. Council felt that going with the opt-out requirement that allowed our residents the choice to stay with JCP&L if they wanted to, and was a better option than not offering the program at all. Tr iEagle Energ y was not only the company that provided the lowest price, they were also one with the highest customer satisfaction rating. Our contact price of 7.994 cents per kilowatt hour (KWH) is 15.6% less than JCP&L’s docu mented rate. Cu rrently over 21,000 homes in Manchester are using JCP&L as their electricity provider, with near-
ly 10,000 of these being all-electric homes. While the average home owner should save about $150 per year, those in all-electric homes could save 2 to 3 times that amount, while not having to worry about getting trapped in a terrible contract. Over the years, far too many of our residents have fallen prey to dishonest companies that promise to lower your energy costs, but after a few months raise their prices and add numerous hidden fees. That cannot happen in the Manchester program because our contract was prepared by Manchester’s officials and our attorneys, not the energy company. There are several points to remember about this program: 1. JCP&L is still responsible for the delivery of electricity to your home. If there is an outage or
other problem, JCP&L is responsible to fi x it. 2. You will still receive a single bill from JCP&L and send your payment to them. JCP&L will then pay TriEagle Energy. 3. If you are on a budget plan you will automatically be put on a budget plan by TriEagle Energy, at their lower rate. 4. If you are receiving any energy assistance funding from the state or other source this program will have no effect on your assistance, 5. There are no hidden costs or fees, EVER. You can opt-in or out of the program at any time with no charge by either TriEagle or JCP&L. 6. If you enrolled in the program, you will receive a letter from JCP&L conf i r m i ng t hat you have changed your provided to TriEagle. If you do not
receive this letter you are not entered in the program. 7. If you enter this program, you will save money. In total, Manchester residents will save from $4 to $5 million per year. Also, please be aware that since implementation of this program, many other third party agencies have surfaced. TriEagle will not be contacting you to optin to the program. If you are contacted by any third party provider for an optin, that is not our program. If you have any remaining questions, or are one of the many homeowners who are eligible for the program but for some reason did not receive the initial letter, you can call our Energy Agent, Gabel Associates at 1-855365-0770 who will help you with any questions you may still have. There are no charges for their service to our residents.
Ocean County Freeholders Continue Their Long-Standing Opposition To Drilling Off The New Jersey Coast
Freeholder Forum by Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders has reiterated its long-standing opposition to any drilling for oil or natural gas off of the New Jersey coast. In an April 28 letter to Senators Robert Menendez and Cory Booker, Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, writing on behalf of the entire board, expressed concern that Washington was once again exploring the idea of offshore drilling. “The residents of Ocean County and of the entire state of New Jersey realize that our coast is a natural treasure; a
gift to be enjoyed by everyone both today and for generations to come,” Vicari said in the letter. “On behalf of the entire Board of Freeholders, I am writing to you to once again voice my continuing opposition to any drilling for oil or natural gas off of our coastline.” The letter was also sent to Reps. Chris Smith, Tom MacArthur and Frank LoBiondo. “As the summer season begins and tourism kicks into high gear, I want everyone to know that we will continue to strongly and vocally oppose any plan to industrialize our
coastline,” Vicari said in the letter. “Tourism is the lifeblood of our local economy. As a serving Freeholder for the past 36 years, I join with our business owners, from the largest hotels to the smallest Mom & Pop stands, in saying that we will fight against any endeavor that places our environment and our economy at risk.” Vicari said history shows that any damage to the environment spells disaster to the local economy. He recalled the damage done during the 1980s and 1990s when waste from New York City and Northern New Jersey washed up on the county’s beaches. “Many of our local businesses suffered because of the continuing news reports of the wash-ups,” he said. Vicari added that an industrial accident off the coast would impact not only the ocean,
but the bays and surrounding ecosystems as well. He pointed to the effects of oil spills along the gulf coast. It took years to clean up that spill and for those communities to recover Vicari said referring to the 2010
Deepwater Horizon spill from an offshore drilling platform. A major spill off of the New Jersey coast could pollute the coast from Long Island to Cape May and beyond, he said. The Freeholders are part of a growing bipartisan effort
in opposition to offshore drilling. Republican and Democratic officials from the local level to federal representatives have already come together to block any attempt to open the sea floor to industrial drilling.

Over 18,000 Photos Collected In MTHS/BASF Deer Study
MANCHESTER – It all started with Manchester Township High School AP Environmental Science teacher, Will Schmidt, wondering why he saw so many dead deer along Route 37 West on his commute to school. The result: a partnership with BASF Corp. that has students doing fieldwork and data collection to investigate the deer population at the company’s Toms River site. –Photo courtesy Manchester Township Schools Schmidt and MTHS Vice Laura McMahon, environmental scientist at BASF, Stacie Principal Stacie Ferrara gave an update on the proj- Ferrara, MTHS Vice Principal and Will Schmidt, MTHS ect at the April 26 Board of AP Environmental Science teacher.

Manchester Police Welcome New Officers
–Photos courtesy Manchester Police Manchester Mayor Kenneth Palmer prepares to swear in Patrolmen Reilly and Raub, alongside Police Chief Lisa Parker. New Patrolman Victoria Raub is sworn in by Manchester Mayor Kenneth Palmer during a ceremony on May 1 in front of family and police personnel. MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Police Department is pleased to welcome its newest Patrolmen, Gavin Reilly and Victoria Raub, who were sworn in by Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer during a ceremony in the Municipal Complex Civic Center on May 1 in front of family and police personnel. Taking his oath first was Gavin Reilly, who excelled as a Class II Special Officer with the Manchester Township Police Department since November of 2016. Ptl. Reilly, a 23-year-old Toms River resident who made the college Dean’s List each semester at Ocean County College and later at Kean University, Ptl. Reilly graduated from the Ocean County Police Academy Special Class II Training, 36th Class. Victoria Raub, a 26-year-old who previously served as an Officer in the Townships of Long Beach and Evesham, was also sworn in. A Barnegat Township resident, Ptl. Raub excelled in athletics and academics throughout her schooling. She was a member of the Phi Theta Cappa Honor Society at Ocean County College, and later transferred to Stockton University where she completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice in 2012. Ptl. Raub graduated from the Ocean County Police Academy, 39th Class II Special Officer training class in 2016. The hiring process began in January of 2016,
when more than 230 applicants participated in the Physical Agility Examination held at Manchester Township High School. This test consisted of pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, squat thrusts, and a 1-mile run. Those applicants who achieved a passing score advanced to the boxing component of the testing process. Approximately half of the applicants completed all phases of the physical exam successfully and advanced to the written examination phase. From there, the top scorers went before the Oral Board for extensive interviews. The top candidates underwent a thorough background investigation and passed medical, psychological and drug screenings. “We strive to select the absolute best Officers, upstanding individuals who have proven that they are capable of proudly serving our Department and the community. The public can rest assured that only a select few exemplary candidates successfully complete our intensive hiring process,” said Chief Parker. Ptl. Raub now will begin the Manchester Township Police Department’s intensive twelve-week Field Training and Evaluation Program; which was previously completed by Ptl. Reilly as a Special Officer. During this training, Ptl. Raub will be instructed and mentored by several highly trained and seasoned officers. We wish them both success in their law enforcement careers serving Manchester Township and its residents. “We are able to welcome these Patrolmen to our Police Department because of the continued support of Mayor Palmer and the Township Council. They help to make all of this possible, and I say this with sincerity and appreciation of their commitment to providing us with the New Patrolman Gavin Reilly is sworn in by Manchester tools we need to keep our Mayor Kenneth Palmer during a ceremony on May 1 in residents safe,” said Chief front of family and police personnel.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Resisting Hearing Help
Dr. Richard Carmen has written a wonderful book entitled “The Consumer Handbook On Hearing Loss And Hearing Aids - A Bridge To Healing” (Second Edition). Depicted below, I will be summarizing some of his thoughts regarding the common complaint, “I do not need a hearing aid.” Many people with a hearing loss never realize how much communication they actually fail to understand or miss completely because you have become their ears. However, it takes only a short time to realize that without your help, they are in trouble. It is through this realization that one becomes inspired to take positive action to solve their hearing problem. Therefore, as a loving spouse or family member, you must create the need for your loved one to seek treatment by no longer repeating messages and being their ears. Your ultimate goal is for them to hear independent of you. So here are some practical tips that you can utilize when a loved one
resists help: 1. Stop repeating yourself! This will allow the hearing impaired individual the opportunity to realize the significance of their hearing loss. 2. Stop raising your voice (then complaining you are hoarse). 3. Do not engage in conversation from another room as tempting as this is and as convenient as it appears. This sets up your communication process for failure. 4. Stop being the messenger by carrying the communication load for the family. Do not tell your loved one “he said” and “she said” when he or she needs to be responsible for getting this information directly from the source. 5. Create a telephone need. This means for you to stop being the interpreter on the telephone. Allow your loved one to struggle in order to recognize how much help he or she needs. We are looking for motivation (to hear) from your loved one - not you.
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!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Parabens Are Found In Thousands Of Cosmetics By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Parabens are a category of preservatives used in cosmetics, medications and foods. If you read labels you’ll see them listed by their name or an E number such as methylparaben E218), ethylparaben (E214), propylparaben (E216), heptylparaben (E209) and butylparaben. Parabens may or may not be associated with cancer – there’s a lot of controversy. It has been reported in the past that parabens are found in 99 percent of breast tumors, however, there is no evidence that they cause breast cancer. Also, keep in mind many issues have to collide in order to develop cancer. There was a 2013 study entitled “Combinations of parabens at concentrations measured in human breast tissue can increase proliferation of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.” Parabens mimic estrogen, the female hormone. They’re sticky too, they don’t seem to let go of the tissue once inside it. This is why they are best avoided especially in hormone-driven diseases. The argument for parabens is that your foods and personal care items should be resistant to bacteria, mold and yeast so a preservative is crucial. The food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry frequently rely on strong synthetic chemicals like sulfites, propionates, EDTA, formaldehyde, alcohol or a paraben chemical. They are trying to protect us from germs. Here’s how you get exposed. You eat them. It’s common to find parabens in some brands of sauces, chutneys, jams, pickles, ice cream, soft drinks, desserts, broths or processed vegetables and flavoring syrups. Read the labels, you’ll see!
You slather them on. Whether you use antiperspirants, makeup, toothpaste, face creams or moisturizers, you are for sure exposing yourself to parabens. But how many? Is it every product? You do have choices, they are not in everything, you should begin reading labels and researching. There’s a website that exposes the ingredients of dental products, fragrances, cosmetic and skin care products and much more: Skin Deep. I told you about this site about 12 years ago, and it’s gotten considerably more comprehensive: ewg.org/skindeep. I searched the word “paraben” and it picked up over 30,991 products just in their database. It’s easy today to avoid this preservative, you just have to look harder, and read labels, but there are trustworthy brands out there. You take them unknowingly. Parabens are in hundreds of medications as a preservative, but they do not have any pharmacologic activity. They’re commonly found in some asthma and steroid inhalers. They say parabens are completely absorbed upon ingestion and broken down to para-hydroxybenzoic acid, and metabolites are supposedly sent out from your urine. Depending on who you ask, or what lab test you read, there may be no evidence of accumulation. Parabens are obviously regarded as “safe” by the United States FDA. I wouldn’t concern yourself with parabens if they’re in your medication(s) since the actual medication itself is just as synthetic as the paraben! You can certainly limit your exposure by looking for products labeled “paraben-free.” Many cosmetics manufacturers have found effective alternatives to parabens to prevent microbial growth in personal care products.

Reverse Auction Leads To Lower Natural Gas Prices
OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County government will see lower natural gas bills for more than 80 of its government buildings as the result of a successful reverse auction. “We had four different companies that aggressively bid for our natural gas business,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who oversees the county’s energy policies. “The competition resulted
in the county locking into a price of .898 cents per unit of natural gas for 12 months. “This price is 33 cents less than what we currently pay and is also about 24 cents less than what New Jersey Natural Gas would have charged,” he said. With four bidders, the lowest bid was from Woodruff Energy at .898 cents per unit or dekatherm of natural gas. The county uses
about 101,000 dekatherms of natural gas annually. Vicari noted that consumers and the county benefit from deregulation which allows the purchase of an energy supply from an Energy Services Company of their choice. “Since deregulation, the utility company is no longer the only option,” Vicari said. “Deregulation has increased competition
and we can benefit from the competitive prices.” The online bidding is termed a reverse auction because the county is seeking the lowest price, while during a traditional auction individuals or companies are generally looking to garner the highest price. The reverse auction was overseen by the county’s energy consultant, T&M Associates. The new contract, which goes into effect in July, will cover the cost of providing natural gas to the county library branches, parks facilities, garages, fire and first aid training center, the police academy and all county facilities that use natural gas. “Our affiliate agencies including the Board of Social Services and the Board of Health will also use this contract,” Vicari said. “With more than 84 county facilities using natural gas, it’s imperative the County does all it can to secure the best price.” The first time Ocean County tapped into a reverse online auction for natural gas was August 2008. “The competition pushes the rates down and that has been a fi nancial benefit for Ocean County,” Vicari said. The county also participates in a reverse auction for electric rates. Vicari noted seeking competitive bids for utilities is part of the county’s energy master plan. “There are a number of steps to the plan that will help the County save money and will provide greater efficiencies as we implement energy upgrades to help us run our facilities,” Vicari said.

Rydell:
Continued From Page 1
The Manchester Times, May 13, 2017, Page 21 the 1960s war drama “Combat.” “The script was called “The Duel” and I’m with Vic Morrow, the star of the show and I’m under the truck for the whole episode. The director Mike Nichols said he liked my work and I did a reading for a film but the producer said I just wasn’t what he was looking for. The film was for “The Graduate.” You win some and you lose quite a few,” he laughed. When another audience member said he was in love with actress Ann-Margret, who Rydell starred with in 1963 film “Bye Bye Birdie,” Rydell responded, “Who isn’t?” with a laugh. “Ann was 22 at the time and I was 21. I asked her once why didn’t we get married? We talk once a month. We’re great friends. That was a great cast, Dick Van Dyke, Janet Leigh, Paul Lynde ” Rydell revealed that a dark time in his life came when he lost his fi rst wife, Camille, in 2003. “I was basket case after that and I turned to alcohol. In 2012 I had to get a new liver and kidney through a double transplant operation. I had a 50/50 chance and I felt that I had enjoyed a good life so whatever happened was going to happen.” He added that the donor was a 21-yearold woman who had been in an accident. “I have 75% of her liver and 25% of it went to Assiah, who was 4 years old,” he said, in reference to fellow Philadelphian Assiah Phinisee, who received the transplant at the same time. “I was 70 years old but she was just starting her life.” The performer said the experience made him an advocate for organ transplants. When the producers of “Grease” wanted to pay tribute to performers of the 1950s-60s, they named the high school where most of the story took place “Rydell High” in his honor. “I didn’t even know they were going to do that,” he said. During the program, Rydell talked about his time in the military. “I was 95 pounds in 1964 when I took basic training at Fort Dix. During an interview, Rydell shared a visit to Seaside Heights during that time period. “The sergeant wouldn’t give us a pass to come out to Seaside Heights but we wanted to go there so my buddy and I went and our heads were shaved and like idiots we had our dog tags on and the MPs sometimes patrolled the beach. We could have been caught but we weren’t. We were lucky,” Rydell said.
“The last time I saw him was a few days before 9/11 at the Garden State Art Center in Holmdel so I was looking forward to this,” she added. Toms was among more than 200 people who came to the branch’s Mancini Hall in the library to hear the former teen idol speak about his life and to have him autograph his book “Teen Idol on the Rocks: A Tale of Second Chances.” Many in the audience asked Rydell about his experiences in show business, and his life growing up in South Philadelphia. Rydell said when he was growing up his father would take him around to various nightclubs including the Earle Theatre in Philadelphia. That is where he saw Benny Goodman and his band. “I didn’t know who that guy in Benny Goodman’s band was playing the drums but I told my father I wanted to be him.” When asked if he played any other instruments Rydell said “I fool around with bass but I’m left handed so I play it upside down.” Rydell fi rst performed as a professional drummer at age 9 and at 19, he was the youngest person ever to headline the famous Copacabana club in New York. “My fi rst hit record came out when I was 17 in 1959,” he said. He credited his father for seeing his talent. “I’ve been performing since I was a kid and I just turned 75 on April 26,” Rydell said. Rydell’s recording career earned him 34 Top 40 hits. Billboard magazine placed him in the Top 5 artists of his era. His biggest hits included “Volare,” “Wild One,” “We Got Love,” “Kissin’ Time,” “Swingin’ School,” “Sway,” “Wildwood Days” and “Forget Him.” “Volare would be my signature song but I love Wildwood so “Wildwood Days” is one of my favorites,” Rydell said responding to the question of which hit was his favorite. He also spoke about how in 1985 he, Fabian and Frankie Avalon teamed up as The Golden Boys to tour and how they continued to perform as a trio. “Frankie said to me we used to hang around on the same street corner and here we are still hanging around on stage together. We all lived close to each other as kids,” Rydell said. When asked about other favorite performers he worked with Rydell said he had a close association with Dan ny T homas and that he had also been involved with Thomas’s charity cause of the St. Jude Hospital. He also admired the work of comics Red Skelton and George Burns. “They were all great.” Rydell was also asked about his guest appear–Photo by Bob Vosseller ance in an episode of Robert Ridarelli, better known as “Bobby Rydell.”

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Help! My Mother Is Living In The Past
Dear Joel, I am very concerned about my mother. She spends hours watching black and white movies and old TV shows like I Love Lucy and Alfred Hitchcock. That’s not the problem, in fact, I even enjoy them. What worries me is that she talks about these people like they’re still alive. She refuses to believe they’re gone. Should I take her to a professional? Black, white and blue in Brick Dear BWB, In a way, your mother is right. The talented actors she enjoys created wonderful films and TV shows that are still entertaining and still enjoyed by generations of new viewers like you. When you think about it that way, and of the enduring effect they have on today’s actors, they are still very living presences. Your mother is probably com-
fortable with those familiar faces. What you should watch for are signs that she is forgetting or losing grasp of her ‘real world’ family and friends. Does she talk about deceased family as if they are living? Does she forget days and months? I would suggest that you engage her in more interactive activities, like visiting a park, shopping and cooking. That will stimulate her brain and give you a chance to observe her in real life situations. See if she can complete tasks, carry on conversations and remember details. That is a much better test.

Ceremony:
Continued From Page 1 ceremony was held in partnership between the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society. For 90-year-old Henry Stuetzel, it was an important event to observe. His son Walter drove him to the event from his Maplewood home. “I’m from Germany and it is quite an event of history. I was 11 years old when it happened. I remember when it took off. I lived in Stuttgart, Germany and I was born around the time when the zeppelin was being built.” The full account and chorology of what occurred was touched upon by the various speakers at the event. Among the speakers were Navy Lakehurst Historical Society President Carl Jablonski, who read the names of those lost at the close of the ceremony; Col. Frederick Thaden, commander, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst; Dr. Horst Schirmer, whose father designed the aeronautics for the Hindenburg; Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. “Ginny” Haines; and Lt. Gen. Gina M. Grosso; U.S. Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services, Headquarters. The German Zeppelin flew one year of transatlantic service from 1936 to 1937 and had a length of 804 feet, standing 146 feet tall and had a speed capability of more than 80 miles per hour. It could cross the ocean with as many as 70 passengers and 10,000 pounds of express freight. The zeppelin served as a symbol of propaganda for Adolph Hitler’s Nazi Germany. On the evening of May 6, 1937 the Hindenburg approached Lakehurst 12 hours late as a large crowd gathered to greet her. At 7:15 p.m. as radio announcer Herb Morrison described the airship landing it burst into flame as it attempted to dock. Nearly 100 people were on board including 36 passengers and 61 crewmen, of those 13 passengers and 22 crewmen died. One worker on the ground was also killed, raising the final death toll to 36. Retired school teacher and historian David Helms traveled from Munroe, North Carolina to attend a Friday night banquet in Toms River that noted the 80th anniversary of the tragedy as well as the May 6 ceremony. “This is my third total trip to the crash site. I came here in 1994, 1998 and I am here today. I am an avid researcher, especially anything involving the military,” Helms said while watching Hanger Number 1 where the Hindenburg was once housed. “Being here tonight at the crash site still sends chills down to my spine,” Helms said. He said his research included receiving a letter from
one the crash crew and that he had interviewed Ann Springs Close, who at the age of 10, flew on the Hindenburg in 1936. Helms also said that while in route to Lakehurst the captain of the Hindenburg had been told kill time and fly around New York City. “There was a ball game going on that day between the Pirates and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Van Lingel Mungo who was from South Carolina 25 miles from where I live. He was pitching for the Dodgers. They stopped the game so everyone could see the Hindenburg could fly over head. No one knew that it would blow up hours later.” “It is a surreal feeling being here today, “ Col. Thaden said. “Along with the tragedy and loss of life we recognize those who survived and those who responded.” Freeholder Haines noted that fellow Freeholder and history buff John C. Bartlett had recently remarked during a World War I remembrance service that the Hindenburg disaster was perhaps the most noted historical event that Ocean County had experienced. Haines added that the Joint Base remains “a very important facility for our country.” Schirmer recounted zeppelin history which began with Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who was born in 1838 and was a German aircraft manufacturer, who founded the Zeppelin airship company. He also spoke of the difficulties early airships had with using a lead ball balance system that was later replaced by gas bags that could be vented to maintain balance. “There were 112 dirigibles built in World War I to use in war. The Hindenburg was so large it barely fit in the hanger here,” he said. “My father was engaged in physics and all the aeronautics in the construction of the Hindenburg. I was taken aboard as a little boy by my father.” “The U.S. had a lot of helium, which is non-flammable, in Arkansas and Texas. Hydrogen was flammable but inexpensive but helium was expensive. The U.S. could not sell helium to Germany as Germany had attacked the U.K. in World War I. FDR could not change the rule of congress to sell helium to Germany. So, the Hindenburg flew with hydrogen. It flew with passengers for the first time in 1936,” Schirmer said. Amidst concerns of sabotage and the airship being used as Nazi propaganda tool and bad weather conditions, Schirmer said that the large airship came in at a very slow speed and that a combination of factors concerning the venting system most likely caused the hydrogen to ignite. “We will never know what happened. Hopefully there was no sabotage. Despite what happened the Hindenburg left us with a good view of these flights. It was a fabulous machine.”

In the past you may have made an appointment with your attorney to prepare a Last Will and Testament and Living Will, however, you may not realize the importance and convenience of a Power of Attorney. A Power of Attorney can be crucial during a time of disability. Additionally, a Power of Attorney can be useful if you are on vacation and unable to perform simple everyday decisions. A Power of Attorney can be useful for people of all ages. A Power of Attorney enables you to identify a trusted family member or close friend as Attorney-in-Fact. The power of the Attorney-in-Fact is determined by the type of Power of Attorney that you execute. A Durable Power of Attorney grants another person the ability to act on your behalf, regardless of illness. The scope of the Durable Power of Attorney can be very broad encompassing all financial, banking and personal decisions. For example, this Power of Attorney allows the Attorney-in-Fact to pay bills, borrow money, complete tax, medical and other forms for you. In addition, you may name an Alternate Attorney-in-Fact, if your first choice is unable or unavailable to act on your behalf. In contrast, a Limited Power of Attorney is very narrow in scope. This would limit the Attorney-in-Fact’s authority to act on your behalf only if you become disabled. While this document is executed prior to the onset of a disability, it can only be used if and when, but not before you become disabled. In order for the Limited Power of Attorney to become effective, you may need a physician’s written report to confirm you are disabled and unable to manage your personal and financial affairs.
You may need a Power of Attorney if you are Dina M. Vicari Esq. out-of-state or country on vacation, and require someone to act on your behalf. For instance, you may appoint a family member, close friend or your attorney as Attorney-in-Fact to complete a real estate closing. In this case the Power of Attorney would specifically outline the purpose, time period and extent of the Attorney-in-Fact’s authority. This power would be only for the purpose of closing or selling and expire after the closing is complete. In addition, the specific property would be identified in the Power of Attorney, therefore, limiting the closing power to only the specific property. Whether you are traveling away from home, planning for the future or have a loved one with disabilities, a Power of Attorney can be the best way to ensure the appropriate decisions and duties are carried out for you or your loved ones.

Trigger Points – Untangling Those Knots Once and for All! By Cara Parliament, DPT, Toms River Therapist WHAT EXACTLY IS A TRIGGER POINT? What people typically refer to as “knots” in muscles are actually trigger points. These are small fibers of muscle tightly contracting, causing areas of tenderness. When muscles are constantly contracting, they are unable to relax and recover their blood supply, which carries oxygen and glucose (the muscle’s energy source), to the muscles. When muscles are deprived of these recovery elements, fibers within the muscle remain contracted, becoming “angry,” creating trigger points. Trigger points can be classified as “active” or “latent.” Active trigger points cause pain at rest, are tender to the touch, and cause radiating or referred pain. Latent trigger points do not cause spontaneous pain, but may restrict movement or can be the cause of muscle weakness.
WHAT TRIGGER POINTS CAN CAUSE: • Pain with pressure applied to these tense muscle fibers • Referred pain to a location near the trigger point • Inability to fully lengthen the muscle, restricting range of motion (aka muscle tightness) • Weakness of the muscle where trigger points are located • Headaches • Neck pain • Low back pain • Chronic pain
WHAT CAUSES TRIGGER POINTS?
to those pesky and painful trigger points. • Muscle imbalances (some muscles weaker than others) • Direct trauma to muscle causes disturbance to the tissue, which can disrupt the blood supply to the muscle, preventing adequate oxygen and glucose to reach the muscle, ultimately leading to trigger points (among other injuries to the muscle).
HOW TO PREVENT TRIGGER POINTS:
• Maintain proper posture - keep your chin up, shoulders and head back… no slouching! • Gently stretch regularly! Keeping those muscles loose is crucial. • Build that core! Strong core muscles help keep proper posture and reduce your tendency to slouch. • Proper ergonomics at work! Make sure your desk and computer set up allow your head to look directly forward, hands are at a level that prevents you from hunching over, have a supportive chair with a lumbar roll, have knees bent 90 degrees. • Take stretch breaks! • Use heat or ice when you need it - They are your friends!
MYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROME VS FIBROMYALGIA
• Muscle overuse, which is sustained or repetitive muscle contractions, deprive the working muscle of oxygen and glucose preventing the recovery process of the muscles. When the muscles cannot recover properly, parts of the muscle remain contracted, leading to constantly tense fibers of the muscle, aka trigger point formation. • Poor posture is a main cause of trigger points in the neck, back, and shoulder area. When someone stands hunched over, with rounded shoulders and a forward-bent head, the muscles responsible for holding the shoulder blades back and keeping the neck up are constantly contracting. These muscles are working extra hard to keep the skeleton erect and in alignment as best as possible. All these muscles constantly contracting, will lack proper recovery, again leading to trigger points. • Poor body mechanics, such as bending at the waist instead of at the knees when lifting objects, can also lead to trigger points, among other serious issues (disc issues, muscle strains, tears… so bend at the knees!). By bending over at the waist and coming back up when lifting a heavy object, one is causing the muscles of the back to pull excessive loads in an elongated position (when muscles are weak), leading to prolonged and extreme contractions. These excessive and strenuous contractions again lead to deprivation of oxygen, glucose and recovery to the muscles being used, ultimately predisposing them
It is common to have more than one trigger point. However, when someone has many painful or tender trigger points, they may have myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Fibromyalgia (FM), on the other hand, causes someone to “hurt all over,” having widespread chronic pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, mental ‘fogginess’ or confusion, and low pain tolerance. Fibromyalgia is considered more of a neurological disease, whereas MPS is considered a dysfunction of a muscle tissue. Although both diagnoses are very similar, there are a few defining features that help health care professionals differentiate between the two. FM’s painful spots are referred to as “tender points,” which differ from trigger points.
• Ischemic compression is a manual technique involving pressure applied to the trigger point, temporarily depriving the area of blood flow. This then allows for resurgence of blood flow to the area upon release of pressure. This revival of blood flow helps supply the formerly restricted area with the needed blood, glucose and oxygen, creating a healing/ recovering effect, diminishing trigger point. • Trigger point injection, which is indicated for patients who have symptomatic active trigger points that produce a twitch response to pressure and create a pattern of referred pain. • At home treatments include trigger point tools, such as the one shown below, that allow you to locate the trigger point and control the amount and direction of pressure.
HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP: Physical therapists can locate, reduce and even eliminate trigger points as well as educate you on how to prevent future issues. Manual techniques physical therapists can perform include soft tissue mobilization and ischemic compression to help break up those pesky and uncomfortable “knots” and help the tense muscle fibers relax and allow the recovery process to occur. PTs can help strengthen core and postural muscles and aid patients in correcting body mechanics and posture. Strong core and postural muscles will help patients reduce the tendency to slouch and help keep their muscles in their optimal length and position, preventing them from getting “angry” or overused and ultimately reducing the likelihood of developing trigger points. Physical therapists can also provide suggestions and guidance for setting up work stations to promote proper posture and body mechanics at the work place, as well as educate you on proper lifting techniques, preventing future trigger point formation, among other potential injuries!
Tender points have 18 specific locations, are usually symmetrical in location on one’s body, do not refer pain, and cause an overall increase in pain sensitivity (hence the low pain tolerance!). So if someone does not have the tender points in 11 of those 18 specific locations, they do not have FM! Trigger points, however, are localized painful spots in any area of the body that typically refer pain and can vary in presence, showing up one day and may be absent a few days later.

• Spray and Stretch technique, which involves having a therapist gently stretch the muscle while simultaneously applying ethyl chloride spray topically. This spray temporarily decreases skin temperature, causing an anesthetic affect, which allows the muscle to be passively stretched toward normal length. This elongation then helps to inactivate trigger points, relieve muscle spasm, and reduce referred pain.

GCU Offers Guaranteed Admission To North Jersey High School Students
LAKEWOOD – Georgian Court University is making it easier for students at Immaculate Conception High School in Montclair to get into college. A new guaranteed admissions agreement signed on April 5 offers ICHS students a seamless transition from high school and into Georgian Court. “This is an important relationship for Georgian Court, not only because you’re Lions and we’re Lions. We share a mascot, but we also share a mission. It’s important to continue to expand Catholic education to give students the opportunity to continue their journey into higher education through Georgian Court,” said GCU President Dr. Joseph R. Marbach, Ph.D. ICHS President Celia Honohan told her students that this was a “historic day.” She added: “It’s redefining how we do admissions. We are looking at your future because it is right around the corner.” In addition to ensuring access to a quality education, both institutions are equally concerned about making sure students graduate and take their education to the next level. “The guaranteed admissions agreement directly benefits Immaculate Conception students who are looking to continue their education by providing seamless admissions and financial aid processes, early academic advising, and increased scholarships,” explained Justin G. Roy, GCU dean of admissions. “I am thrilled and honored to enter into this partnership with GCU, an outstanding Catho-

I look forward to a long, healthy and happy partnership. May God continue to bless both of our communities!” The new agreement reflects the institutions’
shared commitment to providing meaningful, viable options for those pursuing higher education. “You may be the first person in your family to go to college. At Georgian Court, we celebrate that. More than 40% of our students are the first in their family to go to college,” said Dr. Marbach.
“Just for being a student and graduating from here, you’re eligible for $10,000 to $19,000 per year to start. We have other scholarships on top of that, depending on what you’re involved in,” explained Dean Roy, who invited the sophomores and juniors in attendance to an April 8 Open House at GCU’s main campus in Lakewood.

The Fried Is Right: Enjoy A Taste Of Authentic Latino Cuisine By Wolfgang Puck
When May arrives, so many people across America thought about how they’d celebrate Cinco de Mayo, the holiday commemorating the Battle of Puebla, an important victory in 1862 during Mexico’s war against invading French forces. But it may surprise you to learn that the day is only a minor occasion in its home country, while Americans have adopted it as an occasion to recognize Latino contributions to our own nation’s culture - and an excellent reason to have a great party. I myself love to eat Mexican food on May 5, and I’m grateful for the many hardworking cooks of Hispanic descent in my restaurant kitchens who share their own authentic versions of traditional dishes with me. One of my favorites is the following recipe for the version of huevos rancheros we offer on the breakfast and brunch menus in my restaurant Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. The recipe comes courtesy of Hugo Bolanos, my executive chef there, who’s originally from Mexico’s next-door neighbor, Guatemala, where it is a popular staple as well. I think people love this dish for many good reasons. With the combination of perfectly fried eggs, creamy black beans, crispy tortillas, spicy roasted vegetable salsa, cool guacamole and crumbled fresh cheese, it feels like an exciting buffet of flavors, textures, temperatures, colors and shapes, all on a single plate. Eat it in the morning, and you feel fueled up for a busy day, whether that involves riding horses and roping cattle, working at a desk, or spending leisure time with your family and friends. But another great thing about huevos rancheros is that you don’t have to limit yourself to enjoying the recipe in the morning alone. It’s also an excellent choice to make and serve for lunch or even dinner. Whatever the time of day, its sauce, canned beans, guacamole, tortillas and eggs are easy to shop for, prepare and serve. Though the recipe calls a good number of ingredients, none of them are hard to find in wellstocked supermarkets today. And, you can make the ranchero sauce, black beans (for which I take the perfectly fine shortcut of starting with canned beans) and guacamole an hour or two ahead of time, leaving you to finish the simple tasks of frying the tortillas and eggs and assemble the final dish just before serving. You can also add some meat if you want, stirring sauteed chorizo, chopped ham or crispy bacon into the beans. So, for Cinco de Mayo, let me wish you happy eating - or, as they say in Mexico, Buen provecho! HUEVOS RANCHEROS Serves 4 For the ranchero sauce: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, stemmed, seeded and quartered 1 jalapeno chile, cut lengthwise in half and seeded 1 dried guajillo chile, stemmed 1/2 red onion, coarsely chopped 10 cherry tomatoes, stemmed 4 sprigs fresh cilantro 3 cloves garlic, peeled 2 pinches ground cumin Pinch kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
Generous pinch granulated sugar Freshly ground black pepper For the black bean puree: 2 15.5-ounce (439-g) cans black beans, drained 1/4 cup (60 mL) mascarpone cheese or sour cream Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper For the guacamole: 2 ripe Hass-style avocados, halved, pitted, flesh scooped out 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapeno chile 1/4 red onion, finely chopped 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh cilantro Kosher salt For assembly: Vegetable oil for frying 4 corn tortillas Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 8 large eggs 4 ounces (125 g) queso fresco or mild feta, crumbled 1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream Small sprigs fresh cilantro First, make the ranchero sauce: Preheat a broiler. On a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet, put the beefsteak tomatoes, chiles, onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro and garlic. Sprinkle with the cumin, salt and sugar. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Broil until partly charred, turning once with tongs. Transfer the ingredients to a food processor and pulse to coarsely puree; or pass the ingredients through a food mill over a mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside. Next, prepare the black bean buree. Set aside 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the drained black beans. Put the remaining beans in a clean food processor bowl with the stainless-steel blade and pulse until coarsely pureed. Transfer the puree to a small saucepan, warm up the puree over low heat, stirring frequently; stir in the mascarpone, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm. For the guacamole, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. With a fork, coarsely mash and stir the ingredients together. Season to taste with salt. To assemble the huevos rancheros, add 2 inches (5 cm) of vegetable oil to a heavy large Dutch oven or saucepan. Heat the oil to 350 F (175 C) on a deep-frying thermometer. Working in batches, fry the tortillas until crisp and golden, about 1 minute per side. turning with tongs. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Season with salt. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Heat 1 tablespoon oil in each of two large ovenproof nonstick skillets over medium heat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Crack 4 eggs into each skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the skillets to the oven to continue cooking to desired doneness, about 30 seconds longer for softly set eggs. Spoon ranchero sauce onto 4 heated serving plates. Spoon some black bean sauce on top of the sauce in the center of each plate. Sprinkle with reserved black beans and queso fresco. Top each plate with 1 tortilla and 2 fried eggs. Garnish with guacamole, sour cream, more ranchero sauce and cilantro. Serve immediately.
