(Right) Police Chief Lisa Parker describes the #NotEvenOnce program to educators. By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The program #NotEvenOnce, where police help high school students understand the dangers of opiates, is
growing throughout the state and might go farther than that, Chief Lisa Parker said. Police have gone beyond just enforcing drug laws and impris-
oning dealers, she explained to the public at a recent Board of Education meeting. Education is needed
to keep the students from following down that path. The program is done (Police - See Page 4)
Documentary Raises Awareness Of Addiction and Codependency
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – As a part of the widespread effort to raise awareness of the opioid and heroin crisis, a New Jersey school and a local non-profit organization joined forces to put forth their own unique contribution to the cause. The Raymond J. Lesniak Recovery High School partnered with HOPE Sheds Light to present a screening of the addiction and codependency awareness documentary, “ASK,” on Dec. 14 at (Documentary - See Page 5)

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The Planning Board approved the town’s 2017 Open Space and Recreation Plan, which would include more than 6,000 acres of open space being in the Heritage Minerals tract. Daniel Bloch, assistant project manager for Maser Consulting, which works for the township, presented the plan at a recent meeting. The Open Space and Recreation Plan was supposed to be updated every 10 years, he said. It was last updated in 2003, so the township was overdue for an update. The Department of Environmental Protection said that the township would be at risk of losing Green Acres funding if it didn’t update the plan by the end of the year. The plan involved an inventory of open space and noting changes that have come about since 2003, he said, explaining that not a lot has changed since then in the township. Environmental regulations have changed in those 14 years, however. Well head protection areas and open water recharge areas, created to protect drinking water, are new additions, he said. In 2003, it was proposed that an abandoned railway would be used for a bike path. That bike (Open Space - See Page 4)

path never got made. Instead, the railway was re-opened for freight transportation, he said. With a population of 43,000, one task was determining how much open space the township needs. Currently, 40 percent of
other classes. The program consists of three, 90-minute health programs, she said. In one session, they watch a jailhouse interview with a Manchester graduate who became an addict. It tells the story of how an 11th grade football injury led to an addiction. On the third day, they meet a recovery coach, who is also a former addict. At this point, the teacher and police leave the students alone with the coach, Parker said. This is done to allow the students to discuss personal things without an
authority figure around. “There isn’t a class where someone isn’t affected by opiates,” she said. The police also make sure they approach students in civilian attire, to reduce the amount of “the cops are here” panic. During her presentation to the Board of Education, Parker noted that it has been about a year since the loss of Adam Lowe, a local man who died of an overdose. His mother, Shelly Lowe, agreed to be inter viewed for a video titled “Through the Eyes of a Mother,” that
tells the tragic story. The video is shown to students as part of the program. The mother had told Parker that she wished this kind of addiction education had been around when her son needed it. The video can be found at manchesterpolicenj.com/ not-even-once. “The team has put endless hours into it,” she said. “They believe in the program and love the kids.” She thanked the board and the administration for being a partner in the success of the program.
the township is already protected in some way, the plan read. The goal is the preservation of 10,000 additional acres of open space, according to the plan. The entire Heritage Minerals tract is 7,300 acres. Of this, about 995 is developable. This leaves more than 6,000 acres left for open space.
The developer of Heritage wanted to expand the development, and reduce the open space, but is getting resistance from the state and township, he added. During the public portion of the meeting, Peggy Middaugh, a member of the town’s Environmental Commission, said she was disappointed more people didn’t come
out. She said the meeting was not well publicized. She also suggested the township create a map of open space for residents, and include a dog park in their future plans. The 210-page report is on the township’s website at manchestertwp.com, under the heading “important information.”

Documentary: Continued From Page 1
Ocean County College. The event included a screening of the film as well as a brief question and answer session with the filmmakers, Julie and Kurt Neale. “We want to reach every person that we can touch,” said Steve Willis, co-founder of the local non-profit organization HOPE Sheds Light. Presented by the non-profit Prevention Links and Capacity Images, “ASK” tells the story of various individuals who have struggled with either addiction to drugs and alcohol, or the lesser-known evil of codependency. The documentary explores aspects of addiction from the perspectives of those who have lived it and have come out the other side. It also highlights the disease of codependency, the illness that befalls the loved ones affected by the addicts in their lives. Essential to the family-driven perspective of HOPE’s mission, the fi lm sheds light on how addiction is not solitary and has rippling effects on the families involved. The documentary brought together individuals from the Lesniak School and HOPE, as well as students and interested members of the community. “Film is a medium that everyone can get into,” and can help both organizations reach a larger audience, said Chris Capaci of Capacity Images. The Lesniak school is a recovery high school in Union, New Jersey that was founded by Prevention Links to, “provide a high-quality educational, enrichment, and recovery support program that offers a safe, sober and supportive school environment where students and their recovery efforts are understood, valued and fostered,” according to the school’s mission statement. All proceeds from the fi lm event went towards funding programs at the Lesniak School, said Morgan Thompson, Director of Academic and Recovery Support at Prevention Links. Pam Capaci, CEO of the Lesniak School, noted that this is the fi rst one of its kind here in New Jersey and there is the possibility of expansion to Monmouth County and Cape May now that the school has found fi nancial support with the govern-
Air Show At Military Base Announced
By Chris Lundy JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST – The Open House and Air Show at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst will be held on May 5 and 6, according to a press release from the base. Under the title Power In The Pines, the weekend’s events will feature demonstrations from the Air Combat Command F-22 Raptor team, the Royal Canadian Air Force’s CF18 team, and the U.S. Army Golden Knights.
The Manchester Times, December 23, 2017, Page 5 ment. The school has the capacity for 30 students, said Capaci, but the number of students usually sits around 10. The school is meant as a halfway point between treatment and returning to high school for students in recovery. They provide programs, sober activities, and mentor counselors for students on a daily schedule similar to a normal high school itinerary, said Capaci. HOPE Sheds Light is a local non-profit organization founded nearly five years ago by three men who all have personal connections to the disease of addiction. The mission of HOPE is to provide support and education to families affected by Heroin, Opioids, and Prescription drugs. This is where the acronym HOPE derives from. “We want to share the power of our stories,” said Willis, who lost his son to addiction. The goal of HOPE is to create partnerships for their cause to raise awareness. By joining up with the Lesniak School, the partnership hopes to cover more ground and educate more people on the diseases of addiction and codependency.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Delay On Picking Pinelands Seat Lauded The Senate Judiciary Committee did not vote on Ed McGlinchey’s nomination to the Pinelands Commission. This is a small victory for the Pines and for the public who work to protect it. Thanks to the large public outcry and thousands of phone calls, we have managed to delay the vote for the pro-pipeline McGlinchey. This means Ed Lloyd stays on the Pinelands Commission for that much longer. People don’t want to see environmental champion Ed Lloyd replaced by someone who will vote to destroy the Pines. We have a lot of work ahead of us to prevent this appointment and keeping Ed Lloyd on the Pinelands Commission. They can bring the nomination up at the next meeting, however, so we must continue to be vigilant. Christie is continuing to stack the Commission with his pro-development cronies before Governor-Elect Phil Murphy has a chance to make his nominations. This time it’s Edward McGlinchey who, in 2010, was appointed as Camden County’s representative to the Commission. While there he voted to approve the South Jersey Gas Pipeline. Not only is this a bad choice, but it shouldn’t have happened at all. Phil Murphy, as Governor-Elect, should have the ability to
make appointments to fill the positions. We don’t even know whose place McGlinchey is taking. It could very well be one of the members who voted against the pipeline. We are urging Democrats to oppose this nomination so that Phil Murphy can make his own appointments in January. We’re sure that McGlinchey would join the rest of Christie’s puppets that vote for projects that threaten the environment, drinking water and communities in the Pines. Stacking the Commission members is part of the Administration’s attack on the Pinelands. This has been a death by a thousand cuts including the Governor’s attempt to push through two pipelines, extend sewers in environmentally sensitive areas, and build soccer fields on the preserved farms of the Pinelands. Christie has always played games with the Pinelands. He dumped Mark Lohbauer as chair of the Pinelands Commission for political payback, and before that he replaced Robert Jackson who voted against the South Jersey Gas Pipeline for Robert Barr, who was a political crony. The Governor has continued his attack against anyone with an independent voice and independent action. Jeff Tittel New Jersey Sierra Club

Mental Health For The Holidays The holiday season can be stressful for all, including children, teens and young adults. In these times when youth face enormous pressures at school, at home, in their social circles and beyond, it is important to listen to what our young people are saying. The 2nd Floor text and helpline has been there for New Jersey’s 10- to 24-year-olds for over a decade. No matter what problem/issue an adolescent is experiencing, 2nd Floor is a resource for them. This statewide service is operated by the Monmouth County non-profit organization 180 Turning Lives Around. 2nd Floor is a tollfree and confidential youth text and helpline available for texting or calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to all New Jersey young people, ages 10 to 24. Youth can text or call 1-888222-2228 to text/speak with professionals and trained volunteers to find non-judgmental and supportive responses to questions about bullying, unhealthy and abusive relationships, dating violence, to mental health concerns and other challenging issues they may be facing at home or in school. The text and helpline is for New Jersey, always answered in New Jersey and provides local New Jersey resources to youth. The website 2ndfloor.org has additional information. Keeping open the lines of communication with our young people is vital. It is important that they, their
parents, teachers, counselors and I brought enough “The Holiday Song,” but “The Letters To crowded The Editor and other concerned adults all know that help via text or phone is just a text or call away. Anna Diaz-White Executive Director 180 Turning Lives Around
Annual Holiday Poem A Tradition Since 1999 I really hope the holiday spirit hits home this year… because there’s been too much heartache, pain and fear. Yeah it seems that this world is getting more out of control, so, it’s a perfect time for caroling and warming of the soul. You know what I mean and remember how it used to feel, crossing off the days on the calendar, it used to be a big deal. But now the days, weeks and months all seem to just fly by. Call me a little old school because it’s moving too fast for this ole guy. Just wish it would all slow down so we can all take a moment to breathe. Allowing us time to truly enjoy the season and show Santa we still believe. Maybe I just need a trip to the mall; maybe then I’ll feel just fine. Indeed, I’m not one of those Grinches that does all their holiday shopping online. Certainly, that’s not my style because it just doesn’t add to the holiday mood. No, I’d rather battle for a parking place, walk the mall, and enjoy some food. Possibly I’ll bump into an old co-worker or come across an old friend. Sure hope that it’s not too

money to spend. Then suddenly I hear my favorite holiday song, it’s sung by Nat King Cole, it’s one of dozens of holiday songs that I love, and they will never grow old. Yet let’s not forget it’s the season of giving and sacrificing for one and all. Go do something for someone and I don’t mean buy a gift at the mall Take a moment to make a meal or bake some fresh cookies or bread, then look at their expression and you’ll remember what I said…. That’s right it’s the season of smiles and they are such a special gift, they confirm that we did right and lead a path to the spirits we uplift. So, no matter what kind of experience you had this past calendar year, be sure to share your love with friends and family and everyone that’s near. As for me I just want to say thank you and hope that your 2018 is best, I’m so grateful for all that I have and thank God for truly feeling blessed.

Christmas Song” (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire). Last December a gentleman from Winslow put it well when he wrote: “Charles Dickens wrote “A Christmas Carol” not “A Holiday Carol.” Bing Crosby sang “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas,” not “I’m Dreaming of a White Holiday.” The Grinch stole “Christmas.” The Grinch did not steal the “holiday.” And Dec. 24 is Christmas Eve, not Holiday Eve.” The “political correct” crowd maintain that the holiday phrase, “Happy Holidays,” is more inclusive and they’re probably right. Perhaps I’m naïve, but one would think in the 21st century our species should be able to accommodate both holiday greetings without the sky falling in. In the 1947 holiday movie classic “Miracle On 34th Street,” perhaps Kris Kringle (played by Edmund Gwenn) said it best: “Oh, Christmas isn’t just a day-it’s a state of mind.” Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to all! Borden Applegate Jackson
Saying “Merry Christmas” Is OK
The holiday season is upon us and as we gather with friends and family to celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah, I would ask that we all take a few moments to remember the brave members of the United States Armed Forces. Thousands of dedicated men and women are keeping watch around the globe and will be unable to spend this season of joy with their loved ones. They are keeping watch on the front lines so we may celebrate the holidays in peace. As liaison to the Ocean County Office of Veterans Services, I would also like to ask everyone to remember our veterans. From World War II to today’s War on Terror, our veterans have sacrificed so much so that we can remain free. On behalf of the entire Board of Chosen Freeholders, I wish everyone a safe, happy and peaceful holiday season and wonderful New Year. Gerry P. Little Ocean County Deputy Freeholder Director
I don’t understand why some liberals get so upset when the words “Merry Christmas” is expressed during the holiday season, people have been doing it for a long time. As a nonbeliever who doesn’t celebrate the religious aspect of the holiday, I don’t find the phrase offensive at all. I sometime use the greeting myself, especially if I know the people I’m with are Christian-it’s just a matter of being considerate. Using the holiday greeting “Merry Christmas” doesn’t mean I acknowledge or worship Christ any more than my use of the word “Thursday” means I worship Thor. For me at least, it’s just a generic holiday greeting I occasionally use interspersed with “Happy Holidays.” I do know, however, that when December rolls around, I don’t put up a holiday tree-I put up a Christmas tree and listen to Nat King Cole sing-not

LETTERS TO SANTA Dear Readers, This year, we asked our youngest readers to send us the letters they wrote to Santa Claus. We knew he would see them. After all, it’s well known that the best way for Santa to find out who is on the naughty list is to read the newspaper. So, we printed these letters. We kept the spelling and capitalization as it appeared, because it’s cuter that way. The children’s last names and addresses were edited, because Santa already knows who and where they are. If we made a mistake in reading the child’s handwriting, please trust in Santa’s ability to see what it really said. --Chris Lundy, News Editor Dear Santa, I am sorry that I could not mail this to you in time. But this year all I want is your good will. Because I have received a lot of awesome things from my family and I feel lucky for all I have. I still believe in you, don’t get me wrong, and I hope you enjoy the cookies I left out for you. Wish you luck with your deliveries! Merry Christmas Love, Annaliese

Ocean County Department Of Solid Waste Management Wants You To Recycle Properly
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – With the holiday gift-giving season upon us, it is important to be aware of where we dispose of all those decorative wrappings. While we don’t think about where wrapping paper should go after we anxiously tear it away from our new gifts, The Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management asks you to consider it more carefully this year. Wrapping paper can be recycled, but bows, ribbons, and ornaments belong in the trash. How can we tell what is recyclable and what is not? Well, that is what the Department is here for! They are responsible for determining what is recyclable and what is trash. If you follow the guidelines set out by the Department, you can be more environmentally conscious this holiday season. Things that can be recycled safely are: • Plastic bottles, if the neck is smaller than the base of the bottle • Glass containers of all shapes and sizes • Cans (aluminum, steel, tin, and aerosol) • Paper products • Cardboard • Mixed paper (i.e. magazines, paperback books, newspapers, etc.) Ideally, you want to clean out bottles or containers first before recycling them. The same
goes for paper or cardboard products, such as pizza boxes. “In general, the rule for paper products is ‘If it’s clean then it’s green and can be recycled.’ The cleanliness of recyclable material is the premium when our vendors market the material Lakewood provides. For example, if oil or cheese drips onto the pizza box, it no longer can be recycled,” said Steve Hill, recycling coordinator. In addition to those items, be aware of what you should throw in the trash bin, such as: Bottle caps, lids, and pumps Any waxed items (paper or cardboard) Plastic bags Styrofoam Coffee pods Telephone books or hardcover books with the covers torn off Paints and oils For bulk trash, you must make an appointment to have this picked up from your curb. This only gets removed once a month. If you have empty prescription bottles, it is better to dispose of them in the receptacle by the police department. Try to remain recycling-conscious and be aware of what you can and cannot throw in your trash can this holiday! For more information or questions, call 732905-3405.

“Pennies With A Purpose”
WHITING – What do you do with your pennies? Dee Charlesworth, wife of Pastor Dave Charlesworth, was struck by the idea that even our smallest gifts can be used to help others. Charlesworth initiated the “Pennies with a Purpose” program at Whiting Assembly of God in July 2017. When the large “Pennies with a Purpose” jar becomes full, the pennies (often augmented with larger coins and even dollars) are exchanged for a check, and donated to a local charity or service organization.

Leisure Village West Collects Over 200 Toys For ‘Toys For Tots’
MANCHESTER – Friday, December 8 turned out to be a wonderful day for local children due to the generosity of so many residents in Leisure Village West who contributed over 200 toys for the Toys for Tots drive. Officers of the Leisure Village West Fishing Club met with Marine Corps Corporal P.A. Reynolds and Audrey Kobliska to formally turn over the donated toys. Collection boxes were placed at both Club Willow and Club Encore in November. Almost
immediately after being placed, the floodgates opened and people began donating generously. The entire project came about through the efforts of the members of the Leisure Village West Fishing Club, and was put into action by President John Cummings, representatives of the U.S. Marine Corps League, and the staff of Leisure Village West. Thank you to all the residents and staff of Leisure Village West for their continued generosity.
Spreading Holiday Cheer To Homebound Seniors
WHITING – Imagine for a moment that you live alone and don’t have any family members nearby. Now imagine that your doorbell rings, and the first thing you see is a friendly face holding a beautiful cellophane-wrapped Holiday Basket just for you! Well, this is exactly what happened recently to fifty seniors living in the Whiting area. The residents of The Meadows of Lake Ridge have been creating Holiday Baskets for seniors for 18 years. Each basket is unique, and contains items such as food and snacks, puzzles, lap blankets, beauty
supplies, and other surprises. After all of the baskets are gathered together, the residents then personally deliver each one. The lucky recipients are seniors who receive free services from Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey; they may get rides to their doctor appointments, have someone do their food shopping or have a friendly visitor sit and chat with them each week. Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey would like to extend their appreciation to the residents of The Meadows of Lake Ridge for spreading love and joy to so many of our beloved elderly.

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – If you’ve ever visited Jersey City Medical Center, Saint Barnabas Medical Center, or Monmouth Medical Center, you might not be surprised that these three RWJBarnabas Health facilities have recently been ranked as Top Teaching Hospitals of 2017 by The Leapfrog Group! Honored for their commitment to patient safety and quality of care, these three hospitals have received one of the highest honors a hospital can receive. “The Top Hospital recognition is a testament to the tremendous team efforts of our entire staff, who work together to deliver our patients premier care,” said Joseph Scott, FACHE, Executive Vice President for RWJBarnabas Health and President and CEO for Jersey City Medical Center. Jersey City Medical Center, Saint Barnabas Medical Center, and Monmouth Medical Center were chosen among 36 top ranked hospitals nationally, and out of only nine hospitals in New Jersey, to receive this title. “We are pleased to be honored with the
distinction of Top Hospital for the fourth consecutive year here at Saint Barnabas Medical Center,” said Stephen P. Zieniewicz, FACHE, President and CEO of Saint Barnabas Medical Center. Aspects of care including infection rates, maternity care, and error prevention are all considered in the award decision. The strict standards are outlined by Top Hospital Methodology each year. It is important that performance be observed throughout various areas of the hospital to consider a hospital’s qualification. “Monmouth Medical Center’s reputation as a university-level medical center attracts the best physicians to our Medical staff. And our resident physicians and medical students are an integral part of this collaborative approach to safety and quality,” said Bill Arnold, President and CEO of Monmouth Medical Center. Leah Binder, President and CEO of Leapfrog said that these three hospitals demonstrate extraordinary dedication to both patients and the local community and they deserve great praise for that.

Fight the Flu with Your Annual Flu Vaccination
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – It’s that time of year again: Flu Season! You know what that means; it’s time to get those pesky flu shots. Although they might be bothersome, the New Jersey Department of Health reminds everyone to fight that flu and stay happy and healthy this season with an annual flu vaccination. Flu season is at its peak from December to February and the New Jersey Department of Health wants you to be proactive about getting your vaccine before flu activity increases. “Now that flu season has arrived, the best way to protect yourself, your family and your co-workers is to get a flu shot,” said Acting Health Commissioner Christopher R. Rinn. “Flu vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctor visits, missed work and school as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations.” The New Jersey Department of Health is working hard to make sure that community partners are engaged in spreading awareness and prevention methods for the flu in order to
increase vaccination coverage. The Center for Disease Control recommends that everyone six months and older be subject to a flu vaccine every year. Children under the age of five and adults over the age of 65 are increasingly susceptible to the flu. Pregnant women, American Indians and Alaskin Natives, and people with certain medical conditions are also labeled as more susceptible to contracting the virus. If you fall into one of these categories, flu vaccination should be a priority. The CDC also recommends the injectable flu shot over the nasal spray vaccine because it has proven to be more effective. So mention this to your doctor when you go for your vaccine! You can get vaccinated at your doctor’s office, a free clinic, various local health departments, urgent care centers, and pharmacies. For more information about the flu and the flu vaccine, or to find a flu shot near you, visit the Department’s website at nj.gov/health/cd/ topics/flu.shtml.

A New Frontier in Hearing Research
Regrowing Sound-Sensing Cells Might Be the Future — But How Can You Help Your Hearing Today? Hearing care is constantly evolving. But with every flashy advancement, it’s worth remembering that at its core, hearing care is about the main and plain fundamentals. Read on for a new development and a trip back to basics. Hearing is a delicate dance between your ears and your brain. This dance isn’t possible without hair cells, which transmit sound signals to your brain to be interpreted as sound. If these cells are damaged, you begin to lose hearing, and these cells can’t be replaced. However, the authors of a recent article in the journal Cell Reports think they may be able to encourage growth of new, viable hair cells in the inner ear, thereby restoring hearing. It’s not science fiction, but it could be science future. In the meantime, we’d like to tell you how simple it is today to maintain your hearing health. Protect Your Ears From Damage The most preventable form of hearing loss is noise-induced hearing loss. If harmful levels of noise can’t reach your hair cells, they can’t harm your hair cells. Avoiding loud noise is the easiest way to protect your hearing, but we offer hearing protection for most leisure or work situations: • Custom-fit earplugs • In-ear studio monitors for musicians • Custom-fit musicians’ earplugs and headphones • Custom-fit hunters’ earplugs and headphones • Swimmers’ earplugs Get Your Hearing Tested Hearing loss is cumulative, so even if you think your hearing is fine, it pays to get
your hearing tested as a preventive measure. Hearing care isn’t always about hearing devices: There are simple, easily fixed causes of hearing loss, such as excess earwax buildup, another kind of object blocking the ear canal, or certain kinds of medication that can affect your hearing. Our testing process is simple but thorough. The interview. We ask a series of questions to learn whether there are areas of concern or possible sources of the hearing loss. Our questions cover topics such as hearing issues in your family, your workplace noise levels, medications you’re taking, and any illnesses or injuries that might contribute to or cause your hearing loss. The examination. We take a look inside your ear to determine whether you have an ear canal obstruction, damage to the eardrum, or some other physical cause for the hearing loss. The hearing test. We’ll conduct a hearing screening. Based on those results, we might do a pressure test on your middle ear or a speech assessment to measure how well you understand regular conversations. The treatment options. As stated before, you could simply have something blocking your ear canal; in that case, we’d remove the culprit. In other situations, you may need technology of some sort. Every person’s hearing loss is different. If you need technology, we make sure we understand your hearing lifestyle and then recommend the most appropriate device for your unique situation. Hearing care is always evolving. McLean WJ, et al. Clonal expansion of lgr5-positive cells from mammalian cochlea and high-purity generation of sensory hair cells. Cell Reports. 2017;18(8):1917–1929.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Five Natural Remedies For High Blood Pressure That Really (Really!) Work By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. While waiting for a prescription, a friend of mine decided to check his blood pressure. He was dealing with a bout of walking pneumonia and his blood pressure (BP) spiked to 140/100! Has this ever happened to you, where you checked your BP at the pharmacy and it was suddenly high? You can blame stress, the modern diet, lack of exercise or a bad infection like my buddy had. You can blame other lifestyle factors too like smoking too. Or it could simply be your genes, as high blood pressure, termed hypertension, tends to run in families. If left untreated, hypertension can cause or lead to blindness, stroke, kidney failure, atherosclerosis and heart failure. Now, here is the good news. Here are five natural remedies that are proven to really work against high blood pressure: Hibiscus tea – Hibiscus tea is a wonderful remedy for high blood pressure. It’s been used to lower blood pressure in other countries for decades, and it really works. In one study, researchers found that drinking hibiscus tea for just 12 days reduced systolic pressure by an average 11.7 percent and diastolic pressure by 10.7 percent. You can buy commercially prepared teabags or you can easily make your own fresh hibiscus tea each morning. It’s fabulous for memory! In fact, if you email my customer service team at customerservice@suzycohen.com, I’ll send you the recipe card by email for “Memory Mint Hibiscus Tea.” Magnesium Threonate – Some forms of vitamins are better for certain conditions. With hypertension, look for the mineral
magnesium threonate because this form of magnesium leaves ‘the tube’, meaning it leaves your gut. This type of magnesium can get into the bloodstream and get across your blood brain barrier, is easily absorbed by the cells, and has been proven to lower blood pressure and be stroke preventative as well. Magnesium threonate is also great for helping promote good, healthy sleep and relaxation as well. Garlic – Garlic cloves and garlic supplements have been proven to lower blood pressure. Garlic is an allium vegetable that is rich in antioxidants, good-for-you phytochemical and polyphenols, and sulfur-containing compounds called allicin (which are wonderful for collagen promotion too). Garlic is especially effective at lowering systolic blood pressure. Omega 3 Fatty Acids – Omega 3 fatty acids are found in fatty fish and some plant foods like nuts, seeds, and cruciferous vegetables. Fish oil is wonderful for lowering high blood pressure, because it contains EPA and DHA, two wonderful compounds for lowering blood pressure and for keeping your heart healthy overall. Fish oils help reduce triglycerides and that reduces risk for heart attack and stroke. Berries and Dark Chocolate – I saved the best for last: Berries and dark chocolate! This sounds like a wonder-combo all of you can get on board with, right? Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, goji and acai are rich in compounds called polyphenols which are blood pressure lowering. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids which dilate blood vessels, reducing pressure. Try chocolate covered blueberries, or dark-chocolate dipped strawberries.

Eating More Fiber May Lower Risk Of First-Time Stroke
NEW JERSEY - Eating more fiber may decrease your risk of first-time stroke, according to new research in the American Heart and Stroke Association. Dietary fiber is the part of the plant that the body doesn’t absorb during digestion. Fiber can be soluble, which means it dissolves in water, or insoluble. Previous research has shown that dietary fiber may help reduce risk factors for stroke, including high blood pressure and levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) , or “bad” cholesterol. In the new study, researchers found that each seven-gram increase in total daily fiber intake was associated with a seven percent decrease in first-time stroke risk. One serving of whole wheat pasta plus two servings of fruits or vegetables provides about 7 grams of fiber, researchers said. “Greater intake of fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts are important for everyone, and especially for those with stroke risk factors like being overweight, smoking and having high blood pressure,” Diane Threapleton, M.Sc. and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Leeds’ School of Food Science and Nutrition in Leeds, United Kingdom. Researchers analyzed eight studies published between 1990-2012. Studies reported on all types of stroke, with four specifically examining the risk of ischemic stroke, which occurs when a clot blocks a blood vessel to the brain.
Three assessed hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel bleeds into the brain or on its surface. Findings from the observational studies were combined, and accounted for other stroke risk factors like age and smoking. The results were based on total dietary fiber. Researchers did not find an association with soluble fiber and stroke risk, and lacked enough data on insoluble fiber to make any conclusions. The average daily fiber intake among U.S. adults is lower than the American Heart Association’s recommendation of at least 25 grams per day. Six to eight servings of grains and eight to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables can provide the recommended amount. “Most people do not get the recommended level of fiber, and increasing fiber may contribute to lower risk for strokes,” Threapleton said. “We must educate consumers on the continued importance of increasing fiber intake and help them learn how to increase fiber in their diet.” In the United States, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, killing more than 137,000 people annually. Among survivors, the disease is a leading cause of disability. In addition to following a nutritious diet, the American Heart Association recommends being physically active and avoiding tobacco to help prevent stroke and other heart and blood vessel diseases.

Big Hearts Needed To Make Little Hats
NEW JERSEY – Calling all knitters and crocheters. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association is looking to empower new moms to take their family’s health to heart. Join volunteers from across New Jersey to celebrate American Heart Month by knitting or crocheting red hats for babies born in February at participating hospitals. The Little Hats, Big Hearts initiative gives new moms a free kit that includes a beautiful, handmade red hat, along with health information including tips on raising a healthy family, ways mom can take care of herself, heart-healthy recipes and information on children’s heart health. In 2017, over 2,200 Little Hats, Big Hearts kits were provided to new moms in New Jersey as they began their parenthood journey. This year, the American Heart Association’s goal is to send out over 2,500 Little Hats, Big Hearts kits to moms across the Garden State. The kits will be delivered at many New Jersey hospitals during February, which is also American Heart Month. “Our goal is to empower moms and babies with the information they need to live a heart healthy life from day one,” said
Eileen Cardile, Chair of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association South, Central New Jersey Board and Senior Consultant at Numerof and Associates. “It is inspiring to see the Garden State celebrate American Heart Month as we come together to build a culture of health.” Little Hats, Big Hearts raises awareness of heart disease, the number one killer of Americans, and congenital heart defects, the most common type of birth defect in the country. The initiative provides support to families all over New Hersey to live a heart healthy life. If you are a knitter or crocheter, the American Heart Association is seeking donations of red baby hats in both newborn sizes, made of yarn that is red, cotton or acrylic, medium to heavy weight, and machine washable and dryable. All donations are requested by December 31 and can be sent to the American Heart Association | American Stroke Association New Jersey office, Attn: Community Health at 1 Union St. Suite 301, Robbinsville, NJ 08691. For yarn specifics, hat patterns, or more information, visit heart.org/LittleHats BigHearts.

Home Decor Craft Club Seeks New Members
WHITING – Home Decor and More is a craft club located in Crestwood Village V, 325 Schoolhouse Road, in the BC Room. Home Decor and More meets the first and third Monday and every Tuesday of the month from 1 to 4 p.m. Mondays and the third Tuesday are scrapbook days. If you
have pictures you want to put in an album, members can show you how to preserve them for future generations. On Tuesdays members work on general crafts, some that are easy and some that are more complicated. Many materials are supplied by the club. On the last Tuesday of each month, a short
meeting is held and then there is extra time to finish a project, make a card or just socialize. Membership is $5 a year and $1 each week. This helps to offset the cost of materials, cookies and coffee, which are provided every week. If you are new to the area, come and join
the club, which is open to everyone, and a friendly group of ladies looking to expand club membership. Projects for May include making a general card and scrapbooking. If you would like more information, call Maureen at 732-849-5092 or 973-626-3704 and please leave a message.

How To Get Through The Resolution Compliance Process To Begin Your Construction Project
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Dina M. Vicari Esq, of R.C. Shea and Associates
Previous articles reviewed the land use application submission and presentation process, this article will review what is required to be performed after an approval is obtained. The memorialized approval is placed in written form called a Resolution. Part of the Resolution outlines the Condition of Approval, which acts as a checklist of the items that must be submitted to zoning, and engineering prior to obtain construction permits. Satisfying those conditions is what is called “Resolution Compliance”. Once an applicant received the Resolution of approval, the first requirement is to prepare and publish a Notice of Decision. This proves a general notice in the official newspaper as to the details of the approval received. Proof of this publication must be provided to the Board secretary. Contained within the Resolution maybe also be requirements for various legal documents. Examples of these documents are: Lot Consolidation Deeds, which consolidate various lots owned by the applicant under one lot number; Cross-Access Agreements, which will allow neighboring business or residents to utilize a common driveway or parking; and Easements, which earmark certain portion of property for access by other agencies to maintain or service their utility structures or equipment which maybe on the property or may identify portion that are to be undeveloped to preserve the environment or ensure visibility at an intersection. Of course, this is not a comprehensive list and what is required depends on the specific reliefs granted in the applicant’s approval. What is consistent throughout the process is that they are legal documents requiring the attachment of legal description and
reduced plans, requiring review and approval of Dina M. Vicari Esq. the Board professionals and in some case the document must be recorded with the County Clerk. Certainly, the preparation of these documents are best performed by a qualified land use attorney. Additionally, the Resolution may require plan revisions, payments of additional fees and escrow and approvals from other outside agencies. Those agencies may be other local agencies such as local sewerage, utility and municipal authorities; County agencies such as Planning Board and Soil Conservation; and/or State agencies such as NJDOT and NJDEP. Again, each applicant requires a combination of varying approvals. This office can coordinate the receipt of those approvals and prepare a final submission to the local land use board to successfully complete Resolution Compliance. Receiving Resolution Compliance approval will allow the applicant to move to construct their proposed project. As can be seen from the information above, the perfection of a land use application approval before a Land Use Board requires understanding of the MLUL and legal experience. The attorneys at the Law Office of R.C. Shea and Associates can assist to make this process stress free. Look for future articles on the Land Use Process which will review the components of a resolution and the post approval compliance procedures.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Stop Copying Me
Dear Joel, One of the ladies in my group of friends copies just about everything I do. Once I showed her a glittery blouse I bought for a party and she showed up wearing almost the exact same thing. Another time I shared my recipe for my mouth watering clam dip and she shows up at a church event passing it off as her own. It drives me crazy and I’ve just about had it. She never gives me any credit or even tells me I had a good idea. I’m tired of living in my own shadow. ANSWER: They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I don’t think you would agree. Clearly this woman admires you, but she also unnerves you and that is not the foundation of a long lasting friendship. First determine if she is truly insecure or if she is just out to steal your thunder. If she’s really timid,
shop with her for an outfit or a recipe. If she’s the second type and you want to have her for a friend, you may have to address the situation head-on. Ask her why she insists on mirroring you and tell her you don’t like it. You might also try to beat her to the punch by asking her what she will be bringing or wearing to the next party first. If she values you, she’ll stop. In the end, you are the one with the original thoughts and that means you’ll always have the next great idea. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Grunin Center To Host Yankee’s Todd Frazier
OCEAN COUNTY – New York Yankee Todd Frazier comes home to Toms River for An Evening with Todd Frazier on Jan. 19 at 8 p.m. at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College. This moderated lecture will take place on the Main Stage, Grunin Center, OCC Main Campus, College Drive in Toms River.
Hometown baseball hero Todd Frazier will join fans from his native Toms River for an evening of baseball talk. Along with moderator veteran sports anchor Russ Salzberg, Frazier will discuss his experiences playing baseball and growing up in Toms River all the way through his current Major League Baseball success. Known just as much for his down-to-earth
Spring Completion
WINTER SAVINGS
personality and perpetually sunny disposition as his All-Star play, Frazier is no stranger to the public eye. He fi rst gained international fame at age 12 when he led Toms River to the 1998 Little League World Series title by going 4 for 4 with a home run in the championship game. A fi rst-round draft pick of the Cincinnati Reds in 2007, Frazier quickly endeared
himself to fans. He became known for his walk-up music (Frank Sinatra, in a nod to his Jersey roots), rescuing a choking stranger with the Heimlich maneuver, and following through on a promise to “homer” for Teddy Kremer, an adult with Down syndrome. Frazier was traded to the Chicago White Sox after the 2015 season and proceeded to steal the hearts of Chicago fans. Then, before the 2017 trade deadline, the White Sox dealt Frazier to the New York Yankees. In New York, Frazier has established himself as a positive clubhouse presence and a key player in the Yankees’ push to the playoffs and, against the odds, journey to the seventh game of the AL Championship Series. Frazier was behind the calling card of the 2017 Yankees when a Mets fan reacted to his home run at Citi Field with a “thumbs down” gesture, Frazier started repeating it after every hit, and the entire team soon followed. Cincinnati manager Bryan Price told ESPN, “Todd is … just a regular guy. He’s not the big Johnny Ballplayer [who says], ‘I’m important and I don’t do XYZ anymore because I’m an All-Star.’ He comes across as a much more original, genuine, normal human being than a lot of players turn into when they start to get some acclaim.” Grunin Center Subscriber Tickets: $25, on sale now through Nov 12. Subscribers must call or visit the Box Office. (General Admission Tickets: $35, on sale Nov 13. General Admission tickets available online or via phone/box office.) Purchase Tickets online grunincenter.org, call 732-2550500, or visit the Box Office, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A Pre-Show Meet & Greet will take place for Event Sponsors.

Bluegrass Performers At Grunin Center Stage
TOMS RIVER – Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College hold Bluegrass performers. Upcoming acts feature Sierra Hull and The HillBenders. Performances take place on the Main Stage, Grunin Center, OCC Main Campus, College Drive, Toms River. Please use Parking Lot #2. Tickets are on sale now. Sierra Hull –February 3, 8 p.m., Main Stage, $25. Sierra Hull has been recognized from age 11 as a virtuoso mandolin-player, astonishing audiences and fellow-musicians alike. Her album Weighted Mind is a landmark achievement, not just in Hull’s career, but also in the world of folk-pop, bluegrass and acoustic music overall. With instrumentation comprised largely of mandolin, bass, and vocals, this is genre-transcending music at its best. Hull speaks eloquently, in her challenging and sensitive originals, her heartfelt vocals, and once again breaks new ground on the mandolin. The country and bluegrass album earned Hull a 2016
Grammy Award® nomination for “Best Folk Album.” The HillBenders present The Who’s TOMMY: A Bluegrass Opry –April 13, 8 p.m., Main Stage, $35. Dinner Add-On Available: $25 Dinner in the Grunin Center Gallery from Prime 13. “Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball.” Maybe not your standard bluegrass lyric, but a line known by all the world from the biggest rock opera of all time, The Who’s Tommy. Forty-five years after its original release, this classic of classic rock is now fully realized as a full-length bluegrass tribute featuring Springfield, Missouri’s The HillBenders. Conceived and produced by SXSW co-founder and longtime musician/ producer Louis Jay Meyers, this Bluegrass Opry brings a new perspective to Tommy, while paying total respect to its creators. This live performance is a full 75-minute show covering the original album from start to finish with audience participation.

Physical Therapy for the Pediatric Population By: Erin Sullivan, DPT, Freehold Facility Manager
Physical Therapy is not just for adults, children can also benefit from treatment. HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP MY CHILD? • Orthopedics Range of motion and flexibility differ from that of an adult so special considerations should be kept in mind when treating the pediatric population. When a child experiences an injury, treatment may vary considerably versus an adult, particularly in the event of growth plate involvement. These Injuries, and the natural growth and development of a child can significantly impact their ability to reach motor milestones. Growth spurts may also impact how and/or when they evolve their gross motor skills. • Meeting Motor Milestones Children may have difficulty reaching their motor mile stones for a number of reasons. These milestones act as stepping stones for a child to progress towards more complex, functional activities. If children are delayed in reaching these milestones, they may also have difficulty participating in school-based, recreational, or age specific activities. • Sensory Processing Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, or other conditions which impact sensory processing, can also benefit from skilled physical therapy services. A child’s perception of sensory input may impact their functional and gross motor ability as well as their behavior. These senses include sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, vestibular (balance), and what is known as proprioceptive or the perception of one’s own body, detected by the nervous system. It is possible that children may be over sensitive or under sensitive to sensory input, and it is important that their treatment be focused regarding their specific needs.
WHAT TO EXPECT A licensed physical therapist will take a detailed history from you and your child regarding current or ongoing complaints. Your therapist will then complete a thorough evaluation, often through observation as well as objective measurements to determine whether your child is performing at an age appropriate level. Measures of joint range of motion, flexibility, and strength will also be assessed as part of the evaluation. The therapist will then discuss their findings with you and make recommendations regarding their plan of care. Your child may attend therapy sessions anywhere from once a week to three times per week depending on the outcome of your child’s evaluation. Treatment will be specific for each individual child and will be focused on age-appropriate, childdriven activities with integrated therapeutic play to address the child’s goals. WHERE CAN I FIND PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY? Pediatric physical therapy is available in a number of different settings. Children with developmental delays from infancy up to three years of age, in New Jersey, may be eligible for a federally funded program called Early Intervention. School-based physical therapy is also available in some cases and focuses on the child’s ability to access and participate in the school setting. Medical-model physical therapy is available in the hospital-based, home-based or outpatient setting, like All Care Physical Therapy Center. Medical-model physical therapy will address a child’s global needs including the ability to participate in the home or community (due to injury or gross motor delays). Many children may
benefit from physical therapy on an outpatient basis, in addition to receiving school based therapy services. Parents are encouraged to discuss any concerns and treatment options with your child’s pediatrician or physician. ERIN SULLIVAN, DPT Erin graduated from the Richard Stockton College of NJ with her Bachelors of Science in Biology in 2011 and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2013. Erin completed her clinical affiliations in a variety of settings, one of which was in our Toms River facility. In addition to her clinical rotation at All-Care, Erin completed affiliations in schoolbased pediatric, acute care, and hospital affiliated out-patient settings. Clinically, Erin works with postsurgical orthopedics, musculoskeletal injuries, adult neurological conditions (Parkinson’s disease, stroke, spinal cord injury, Guillan-Barre syndrome, and Multiple Sclerosis) as well as pediatric and genetic neurological conditions (Cerebral Palsy, seizure disorders, and muscular dystrophy). Erin is certified as a LSVT: Big Clinician. The LSVT: Big program is an unique treatment approach for patients’ with Parkinson’s focusing on big, large amplitude movements to promote independence. Erin also has clinical experience with patients with cardiopulmonary complications and other comorbidities. Erin’s treatment approach is very hands on with a focus on keeping her patients as involved as possible during their physical therapy experience and rehabilitation. A sample of Erin’s continuing education courses include: • LSVT Big: Lee Silverman Voice Training: Big Certified • Great Lakes: Applied Techniques of Manual Therapy, An Orthopedic Approach to Myofascial Release • Great Lakes: The Basics of Sacroiliac Mobilization • Evidence Based Examination and Management of Shoulder, Hip, and Knee Joint Replacements

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of december 23 - december 29
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): One potato, two potatoes. Sometimes you will be hot and sometimes you will be cold as you search for something elusive in the week to come. It may be difficult to satisfy a desire to form an ideal romantic commitment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When nothing suits, give it the boot. You may be dissatisfied with purchases that are made in the first half of the week. Avoid making impulsive purchases and decisions that could impact joint resources and long-term goals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It may be difficult to make a good impression when school is in session. There may be many lessons to learn in the week ahead. You may be pressured to follow the rules and do your duty when interacting with other people. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Having fun can be hard work. In the week ahead, you may be invited to social functions that either involve your job or require extra effort on your part. Packing everything into your schedule can be a challenge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be persuaded to mix business with pleasure as the week unfolds. Your attention to detail is accentuated making this a good time to complete projects or to put finishing touches on a personal creative venture. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be prompted to concentrate on kith and kin during the week ahead. The New Moon in Sagittarius may find you preparing for visitors by rearranging
furniture, clearing out dust bunnies or organizing the pantry. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be more energetic or competitive than usual in the upcoming week. A partner or a friend might inspire you to reach a bit higher in your pursuit of material security. Avoid misunderstandings at the workplace. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Wrap up your shopping. This week you might realize that it is time to tighten up the belt and guard your piggy bank from unneeded expenditures. Understand that a close relationship depends upon trust and respect. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Hold your horses. Put new projects and major purchases on hold during the week ahead. It may be necessary to buckle down to focus on your job and attaining your goals despite holiday activities and temptations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Gather ammunition and you can attain your ambition. During the week ahead work quietly in the background and organize your schedule. Prepare to execute your game plan after the holiday celebrations subside. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Nobody’s perfect, but some people expect perfection anyway. You may worry about exposing your imperfections or flaws in the week ahead. Keep your pennies in your piggy bank and avoid impulsive spending. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There may be some rust forming on someone’s trust. Doubts could creep in to erode a relationship in the early part of the week. If you have put your trust in someone or something it is necessary to have faith.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cookie Time! This Quick Recipe Makes It Easy To Offer Fresh-Baked Sweets To Holiday Guests By Wolfgang Puck
Fresh. Baked. Cookies. Spoken together, those three words conjure feelings of homey warmth and goodwill that are the very essence of the holidays. Many people consider cookies served straight out of the oven (or, to be a little less evocative but more realistic, cooled briefly after baking) the stuff of family memories. The sweet scent permeates the whole kitchen, and often the rest of the house, with toasty aromas. And even when they’re cookies that also keep well in an airtight tin for days or weeks, oven-fresh ones seem to fill our senses with the most vivid flavors and - depending on the type of cookie - textures either crispy, chewy or soft. But not all cookies lend themselves to last-minute baking or to being served soon after they leave the oven. Some, like bar cookies, need longer cooking and cooling times to set properly for cutting. Others, like sandwich cookies, filled cookies or elaborately decorated cookies, have more complicated recipe instructions that should include the dreaded words that appear on the boxes of too many children’s toys: Some assembly required. None of those worries should concern you when you set out to make the following recipe for cinnamon sugar cookies. The simple, sweet, buttery dough itself takes just a few minutes to mix and then requires only a few hours of chilling; though you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to five days, ready to roll into balls and bake at the last minute when guests arrive. Shaping the dough and coating it with cinnamon sugar is also a fun activity in which you can involve willing visitors, who then have to wait no more than 15 minutes for the cookies to come out of the oven - and a few more minutes after that for them to cool. How much easier could cookie baking be? The rewards - delicious rounds that are crisp but not too crisp, crumbly but not too crumbly, and rich but not overly rich, with subtle but noticeable aromas and flavors of vanilla and cinnamon - are far greater than any effort involved. You could also easily vary the cookies, if you like, by rolling out larger balls (be sure to place them farther apart), substituting another flavor extract for the vanilla, and even omitting the cinnamon sugar coating and instead icing the cookies any way you want after they’ve cooled. Your options are almost limitless. But the wonderful results can always be summed up in just three words: Fresh. Baked. Cookies. CINNAMON SUGAR COOKIES Makes about 5 1/2 dozen 2 3/4 cups (685 mL) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon 1 1/8 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 8 ounces (250 g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons vanilla extract In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Put the butter in the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle or beaters; or in a large mixing bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer fitted with beaters. At medium speed, beat the butter until softened and smooth. Add 1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons of the sugar and continue beating at medium speed; then, when the sugar is fully incorporated, raise the speed to high and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy, stopping the beaters as needed to scrape down the side of the bowl and the beaters with a rubber spatula. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until fully incorporated. Scrape out the dough onto a clean, lightly floured work surface. With clean hands, form the dough lightly into a ball and wrap well in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 to 3 hours or as long as four to five days. When ready to bake the cookies, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line one or two baking trays with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, then spread the mixture on a small, flat plate. With clean hands, pinch off a mound of dough weighing about 1/2 ounce (15 g) each; then, roll it between your palms into a ball about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter; roll the ball in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated; and place it on the prepared baking tray. Continue the process, placing the balls about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. When a baking tray is full of dough balls, bake until the cookies have spread and turned golden brown around the edges and slightly firm to a quick, careful fingertip touch, 14 to 15 minutes total time, reversing the trays front to back halfway through for even baking. With a wide spatula, remove the cookies from the trays and transfer to a wire rack to cool. If reusing a baking tray, cool slightly before arranging more balls of dough on it. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to three weeks.
