By Chris Christopher Former Southern Regional High School players Mike Gesicki and Clark Harris have landed berths on National Football League rosters. Gesicki, a tight end out of Penn State University, hopes for a big
rookie season with the Miami Dolphins. Harris, a long snapper from Rutgers University, is with the Cincinnati Bengals and hopes to earn All-Pro honors for the second straight season. Both played for coach Chuck
Donohue at Southern. The news was not as positive, however, for ex-Brick Memorial and Lakewood standouts Mike Basile and Tyrice Beverette. Basile was waived by the New York Giants. Beverette was cut (Football - See Page 4)
All Stafford District Schools Affected By Mold By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – An inspection throughout the Stafford Township School District has found mold in all of the district’s five schools. Following the discovery of extensive mold in the McKinley Avenue Elementary School in August, parents in the district called for more comprehensive testing during a special meeting on Sept. 5. According to Superintendent George Chidiac, school officials and mold specialists from Coastal Environmental Compliance spent a recent weekend inspecting and testing ransom areas in all of the district’s schools. “[Testing] was done as an extra precaution. But where the experts felt it was needed, mold testing was done and once the results came back, it was recommended we seal off certain classrooms for remediation,” said Chidiac. They found more areas affected by mold in: • 3 classrooms in the Oxycocus School • 3-4 classrooms in the Ronald L. Meinders Primary Learning Center (PLC) (Mold - See Page 2)

Police: Caff rey’s Fire Ruled Accidental By Chris Lundy LACEY – Investigators have determined that the fi re that destroyed Caffrey’s Tavern was accidental. The fire is believed to have begun at the stove top along the west wall of the kitchen, according to a press release from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office. The fire was reported on the morning of Sept. 5, just before 9 a.m. It spread quickly through the roof system, severely damaging the entire building. Lacey Township Police Department and multiple local fire departments responded to the blaze. They got it under control by 11:30 a.m. (Fire - See Page 2)

Mold:
Continued From Page 1 • 3-4 classrooms in the Stafford Intermediate School • 3 classrooms in the Ocean Acres Elementary School During the Sept. 5 meeting, Chidiac explained that the mold at McKinley was caused by the excessively hot, humid weather. It has since been discovered that the HVAC system in the school was not functioning properly, which in turn caused the mold to develop. Chidiac noted that the district is looking into fixing or replacing the HVAC system at McKinley with the HVAC company, Johnson Controls. While McKinley’s mold was formed this way, Chidiac claimed this is not the case for the other schools. He maintains that it was the hot, humid weather that created an ideal environment for the mold to grow. According to the Ocean County Health Department, there are no set standards for what is safe when it comes to mold. Coastal Environmental’s Marylee Morinelli said that experts measure the acceptable mold levels indoors against outdoor levels, as they have no specific standard set by the state. A letter from Cathy Ledden of Coastal Environmental to the parents stated: “The affected rooms will first be sealed off by using a polyurethane sheeting. Once the area has been sealed, air scrubbers and dehumidifiers will be placed in these areas. The air scrubbers will be utilized to achieve negative air in the rooms, therefore not to contaminate any other part of the school during the cleaning procedures. With all of

these measures in place, the school is safe for occupancy during the clean-up procedures. Once cleanup of the mold has been completed, then a second visual inspection will be conducted, along with additional sampling to ensure the affected areas are safe for occupancy.” Students and staff in affected classrooms have been relocated for the time being. “We’re fortunate in this district to have room in the buildings that we can maneuver students when necessary,” Chidiac said. Chidiac explained that he and other district officials are acting based on recommendations from Coastal Environmental, who have recommended not shutting down the schools while they work on remediation. “In this case, they are not recommending that at all,” he said. Items found affected by mold, such as furniture and books, have been discarded and the air will be scrubbed until results show satisfactory levels, just as was done in McKinley. Chidiac hopes to see results and have a better understanding of the situation by Friday, Sept. 14. “We’re being very transparent,” he added, noting that a letter will be sent out notifying parents of the results when complete. “We’re doing the best we can, based on the recommendations of our experts.” Parents and/or guardians can schedule a meeting with the superintendent to discuss concerns and specifics in the mold cases. Chidiac offers that parents can choose to keep their children home, but it is not necessary. The district will hold another meeting on the topic on Sept. 19 at the Stafford Township Arts Center. The fire was investigated by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Arson Unit, Ocean County Sheriff’s Department Criminalistics Investigation Unit, Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office, State Fire Marshal’s Office and Lacey Township Detective Bureau.

Football:
Continued From Page 1 loose by the Bengals. Miami coach Adam Gase said Gesicki, drafted 42nd overall and 10th in the second round by the Dolphins, has proven he’s ready to be a starter or at least handle a large role in the offense thanks to the tremendous progress he has made since being selected. Gesicki, best known for his pass catching ability and athleticism, has developed mentally and as a blocker since coming to the Dolphins. “I’m still learning and still trying to pick up some new things,” said Gesicki, whose team opens its regular season Sunday, Sept. 9, against the Tennessee Titans at 1 p.m. “I’m not even close to where I want to be, but I’ll continue to keep working and learning from the other guys and just continue to progress. But I defi nitely feel a lot more comfortable than when I fi rst got here. “When you fi rst get here, it’s a matter of trying to grasp the playbook and all that stuff. I have made my fair share of mistakes and have learned from those mistakes. I will take those experiences, learn from them and take it into the regular season.” Gesicki is the Dolphins’ highest-drafted tight end since 1974 and the team chose him with the intention of starting him. He caught one pass for 10 yards during the preseason. “He’s going to play,” Gase said. “We’re going to have a mix of packages and
things that we’re going to do. We have a plan.” He will have several family members and friends flying to Sunday’s game. “It’s gonna be exciting,” he said. “I’ve obviously been working for this for a long time and everybody in this locker room went through training camp and all that kind of stuff. It’s ultimately what you work for.” Gesicki signed a $6,611,924 contract. It features $4,149,214 in guaranteed money, including a $2,888,672 signing bonus. The other guaranteed portions of the contract are his 2018 and 2019 salaries. Gesicki, an advertising and public relations major, was a four-year letterman and a three-year starter at Penn State. He played in 51 games with 36 starts. His 129 receptions were ninth overall in school history and the most among tight ends. His 1,481 receiving yards were the most in school history by a tight end and 17th by a player at any position. His 15 receiving touchdowns were the most in Penn State history by a tight end and ninth by a player at any position. As a senior, Gesicki started all 13 games and caught 57 passes for 563 yards and nine touchdowns. He averaged 9.9 yards per catch en route to second team All-American and fi rst team All-Big Ten Conference honors. He’s a 6-foot-6, 245-pounder. He wears jersey No. 86 with the Dolphins. Harris, last season, played in the Pro Bowl - the league’s All-Star Game. He was selected by the American Football Conference, the staff of the Pittsburgh
Steelers. He was chosen by coach Mike Tomlin as a “need” player. He was the fi rst Cincinnati long snapper in history to earn a Pro Bowl nod. He had four snaps in the game (one field goal and three extra points), including one for the winning point, in the AFC’s 24-23 victory over the National Football Conference. He was named one of the AFC’s team captains. During a Pro Bowl practice prior to the game, Harris set a Guinness World Record for the longest recorded snap at 36 yards, eight inches, shattering the previous record of 34 yards by Jase Whitner in Perrysburg, Ohio, in 2017. Harris competed in each of the Bengals’ 16 regular season games. He made four tackles on special teams. He handled all 143 deep snaps, 89 on punts and 54 on placekicks, without an unplayable delivery. Harris has played in all but three games, including the playoffs, since joining the Bengals on Oct. 13, 2009. He has yet to botch a snap as a Bengal. He has played in 123 straight games, including the postseason, with Cincinnati. Harris was drafted in the seventh round by the Green Bay Packers in 2007. He has also been with the Detroit Lions and the Houston Texans. Harris did not earn an accrued year of experience toward NFL free agency in 2007 or 2008 because he was not on a 53-player roster, a Reserve/Injured list or a reserve/physically unable to Perform List for the required minimum of six
games in either season. Now in his 10th professional season, Harris this year will earn a base salary of $1,015,000 and a workout bonus of $10,000. He will carry a cap hit of $1,070,000 and a dead cap value of $55,000. The visiting Bengals will open their regular season Sunday, Sept. 9, at 1 p.m. against the Indianapolis Colts. Harris starred at tight end at Rutgers and handled the Scarlet Knights’ long snapping duties. He was a three-time fi rstteam All-Big East Conference selection. He played in 46 games from 2003-06 with 42 starts. He fi nished his career ranked sixth in program history in receptions (143) and receiving yards and tied for seventh in touchdown catches (11). He caught a pass in 38 straight games for what was the third-longest streak in Big East history. He had five career games of either 100 or more receiving yards. Harris is a 6-foot-5, 250-pounder. He wears jersey No. 46. Basile, a former Monmouth University star as a defensive back, made one solo tackle and notched one assisted stop with the Giants during the preseason. Beverette, who starred in the defensive backfield at Stony Brook University, made three solo tackles and added one assisted tackle during the preseason.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL A Letter To The Editor Is One Person’s Opinion For 23 years, Micromedia Publications has been a source for news in the community. Ever since the first edition of The Manchester Times, dated April 18, 1995, we’ve published letters to the editor on a variety of topics ranging from local issues to international affairs. For clarification purposes, Wikipedia defines a letter to the editor as “a letter written to a newspaper, magazine or other periodical about issues of concern to readers, usually intended to be published in the paper/ periodical.” Everything from nose hair to politics - no subject is off limits and we get a wide array of submissions. Sometimes we make the decision not to run a letter that may be riddled with hate speech, racist, homophobic or blasphemous ramblings. But the company has always run letters as a common practice. In fact, our whole mission statement is based on the importance of the community and serving as a voice to our readers. Part of that service is to allow for opinions to be expressed and then discussed either through additional letters or online social media posts. You can imagine my surprise when I saw some of the colorful comments posted on our social media pages after we ran a letter in which the AUTHOR called for President Donald Trump’s impeachment. Did we agree with the letter? Maybe, maybe not. We are journalists first and don’t take sides (despite many major media outlets today doing so). Was the letter the opinion of the writer? Yes. Was there a disclaimer stating that the letter was the opinion of the writer? Absolutely. Did people read that disclaimer? Obviously not. Do we run positive letters regarding President Trump? Yes, yes we do. Do we get a lot of submissions? Frankly, no, we don’t. That is certainly surprising to us in the newsroom as we do live in
a Republican county. If we received more, we would certainly run them. A monk from England named John Lydgate is k nown for this famous phrase: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.” I will say this once again - this time both in the printed papers and online: we welcome ALL letters from all sides of the political aisle. Our newspapers are fair and balanced. We don’t take sides. We don’t play favorites. It seems that ever since the 2016 election, the amount of negativity from people is stronger than ever. Regardless of your political views and ideology and who you support to lead this great country, remember that we are all human beings with a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There’s certainly a way you can express yourself without name calling and being utterly hurtful. Someone’s political view doesn’t say everything about that person’s character. I’ve seen a lot of hate speech from all sides and it’s really a shame. We should all want our country to be great and for us to remember all of the liberties we have thanks to our founding fathers and the brave men and women who have served our nation. We welcome a difference of opinion without fear of retribution or blowback - just try and be civil and know the letters to the editor will continue to be a permanent staple of the Micromedia newspapers and Jersey Shore Online. So with that, if you would like to send a letter, email it to news@jerseyshoreonline.com Thank you as always, Jason Allentoff Vice President/COO Micromedia Publications, Inc.
Letters To The Editor MacArthur A Leader For NJ During the last midterm election, four years ago, the nation was experiencing a wave of voter discontent. It was at this time that Congressman MacArthur was elected to the New Jersey 3rd Congressional seat. It was also when Republicans expanded their majority in the House, gained control of the Senate for the first time in eight years, and total control of Congress. With the 2016 election of President Donald Trump, Congressman MacArthur and the Republicans finally had the opportunity to make a real difference for our country. During Congressman MacArthur’s time in office, his years of previous experience in the business world, his unquestioned support and dedication to the men and women in the military and our national defense and his commitment to tackling the Opioid epidemic, have made him a valued member in the House. One need only look at his record of reforming FEMA in wake of Superstorm Sandy and his efforts to save Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, to see how valuable his leadership has been. This is what I like most about Congressman MacArthur. He is a trailblazer and a leader, not a follower. Under the leadership of Congressman MacArthur and the Republican-led Government, you can see for yourself that
Letters To The Editor the economic engine of the United States is booming, and the unemployment rate among all Americans stands at record lows. Companies and jobs are coming back to America, like never before. Thank you Tom MacArthur, for your important contributions to the improving of conditions in our country. After years of defeatist Democratic policies, in which we were told that America’s best days are behind us, it is refreshing to see people being positive and optimistic about the future. Lloyd Mullikin Bayville
When A Politician Lies When considering candidates this November, it’s important to look past disinformation and fear mongering pushed forth by some candidates and their surrogates. When a candidate uses lies to stoke the fears of voters, it should make one question why that candidate resorts to disinformation instead of outlining their ideas for the community they will represent. The tired, old tactic of lying about your opponent does not speak to today’s voters because today’s voters are very savvy. Many of my friends and I prefer candidates like Andy Kim, candidate for Representative of NJ-03, who have a positive message, who look to the future with a well-

Free Will, And Government Oppression What is the meaning of life? Like our DNA, it is different for each of us as we utilize our talents, we leave our fingerprints on the future. God bestowed us with the gift of free will and the dominion over all other living things. This free will is unconditional, including whether to believe or not. Many believe man has evolved beyond the belief in God. The truth is, in all of recorded history we have not evolved at all, being of the same flesh easily swayed by evil. Men have chosen to have dominion over other men, denying them their right to free will and choice. This is the greatest evil of all. In the 20th century alone at least 160 million people were murdered by their own governments ruled by evil men. Free will is meant to be used within the realm of the Ten Commandments or the Golden Rule. Believers living by the Golden Rule know their first obligation is to sustain oneself. Once accomplished, you should be fruitful and multiply within your ability to support a family and participate in a community. Your fi nal obligation is charity for those unable to support themselves. Forced charity through government taxation is not charity at all. It is
the usurpation of free will. We’ve a long way to go. James M. Spickard Little Egg Harbor

The election is on Nov. 6. Mr. Welle is a veteran and I thank him for his military service. Can’t thank him enough. Now his comments mentioned online on Aug. 2 regarding residents of the 4th District are insulting and misleading. He says he wants to end racism and discrimination in the district. “But as you go to Howell and Jackson and Allentown and Millstone, and people who voted for Chris Smith for 37 years,” he said. “They’re not there.” Mr. Welle sure has a funny way of trying to get votes. I lived and served in Howell and now live in Jackson. And just because a good many of us in the 4th District are conservatives or lean Republican does not make us racist. Mr. Welle’s “progressive” ways have failed everywhere they’ve been applied and will only place more of a burden on people and businesses already fleeing our state in droves. Nino Borrelli Jackson Ed note: the full quote was: “I want to move this district forward. I want to fight against discrimination in this district. I want to fight against racism in this district. I want to bring new jobs to this district in the green economy. But as you go to Howell and Jackson and Allentown and Millstone, and people who voted for Chris Smith for 37 years. They’re not there yet.”

Grants Awarded To Combat Opioid Addiction From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur TRENTON – Congressman Tom MacArthur announced two grants, totaling $250,000, for local organizations combating opioid
abuse. The Riverfront Coalition in Burlington County and the DART Coalition of Ocean County were each awarded $125,000 to assist
them in their efforts to prevent drug abuse. “As co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force in Congress, I am always looking for ways to bring more resources to our community to combat the opioid epidemic. I have been a staunch supporter of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and stood up to leaders in my own party who worked
to cut its funding. These grants are going to help local organizations who are doing incredible work to save lives every day,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “These grants – awarded th rough the Drug-Free Communities Support Program – will help towns invest in furthering youth education on the dangers of dr ug abuse, and introduce new
programs to help those battling addiction. This issue is bigger than one of us, but it’s not bigger than all of us working together.” The DFC Support Program is designed with the belief that local problems need local solutions by leveraging local, community centered resources. Money allocated through this program will be dedicated to data-driven efforts
Minimum Wage Of $15 Needed In NJ From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy NEW BRUNSWICK – Recognizing the need for working families to receive livable wages, Governor Phil Murphy and Speaker Craig Coughlin toured Eli-
jah’s Promise and expressed their support for a $15 minimum wage. “Adjusted for cost of living, New Jersey’s minimum wage is the 5th-most insuf-
ficient in the nation,” said Gover nor Phil Mur phy. “That is unacceptable. New Jerseyans should not have to live paycheck to paycheck, in some cases deciding between whether to put food on the table or keep the lights on. The path to a stronger and fairer New Jersey includes raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and ensuring fairness and opportunity for everyone in our state.”
“Anyone working hard at a full-time job should, at the least, be able to provide their family with the basics - a roof over their family’s head, food on the table and clothes on their back,” said Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin. “I am committed to ramping up the minimum wage to $15 and will continue to work with my caucus, Senate President Sweeney and Governor Murphy on a responsible path towards
raising the wages and standard of living for working, middle class New Jerseyans.” “I am looking forward to working with Governor Murphy and Speaker Coughlin to see that New Jersey increases the minimum wage to $15 an hour,” said Senate President Steve Sweeney. “It is the right thing to do for working people and the smart thing to do for the economy.”
to address this complex social issue. The ONDCP, which oversees DFC Support Program, was slated to be defunded under the President’s budget. As cochair of the bipartisan Heroin Task Force in Congress, Congressman MacArthur led a bipartisan group of members who successfully fought the President to keep the ONDCP and its related programs funded.
By raising the minimum wage to $15, Gover nor Murphy believes we can grow and protect the middle class and working families. These efforts to empower workers in our state will boost productivity and grow the economy. Elijah’s Promise is committed to ending hunger, providing education and jobs in the food industry, and offering social services to those in need.
False Forecasts Hurt Shore Area Businesses
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – For most seasonal businesses who depend on day trippers to provide their service, a weather forecast of gloom and doom can be devastating and many said that is precisely what happened this summer season. Bill Petruzel, owner of Barnacle Bill’s arcade and miniature golf, which celebrated its 55th year of operation in Ortley Beach on July 21, said, “the weather is always important and this year we had a non-trend of sunny days followed by some rainy weather. It was not consistent.” “Generally we had a good season but if anything it was wet and we would have done a little better,” Petruzel added. Nearby is one of four
Kohr’s Ice Cream locations (the others being in Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Lavallette). Owner Greg Kohr said that forecasts by northern Jersey and New York radio and television stations hurt his business and others with forecasts predicting rain storms that never came. “We are a big day trip customer business and a lot of those forecasts reported storms that were taking place up north but didn’t occur here. It would have been nice if they put a better spin on it,” Kohr said. “We had 10 weekends of rain in the spring and five during the summer. The weather people said we had a 60 percent chance of rain this weekend and that really hurt our Friday and Saturday business. I’d
say most businesses this season aren’t doing what we should be,” Kohr added. The Starlight Motel in Ortley Beach has catered to vacationers for decades. Manager Michele McGarry said the false forecasts had hurt her business. “They kept reporting about storms happening up north but there was not a cloud in the sky here.” Angelo Nucci, the motel’s assistant manager said “News 12 was reporting all season about storms that we didn’t get.” “That really hurt us a lot and we had the added problem of the beach replenishment project going on here in Ortley Beach which has caused most of the beach blocks to be closed. Shame on the governor for not seeing that this was not done
earlier in the year instead of the peak summer season. That hurt a lot of businesses here,” McGarry said. Further north on Route 35, the owners of Lava Golf, a miniature golf business which features a bar rier island theme for its 18 hole course, retaliated with some humor posting on several social media sites that better weather forecasting could be made by fictional characters like Aunt Clara of the 1960s Bewitched TV show and psychic, Kreskin not to mention a character from the car toon SpongeBob Square Pants. Kathy Misdea and her husband Dan own and operate the attraction which started three years ago. “We only had to close a few times this summer due to rain
but our weekend business was hurt by the forecasts which generally didn’t reflect what was happening on this end of the state,” Kathy Misdea said. “They said it was going to rain every day this weekend and there isn’t a cloud in the sky,” her husband added. “It was so wrong. The forecasts were so different to what was going on here,” Kathy Misdea said. “We did have some people play in some drizzle but generally it wasn’t bad.” The Beach Authority in Lavallette features bicycle rentals along with a beach supply store. Owner Maytol Manor said the weather forecasts defi nitely had a negative impact at her Lavallette and Ocean Beach locations.
“It started on Wednesday when they were predicting rain all weekend,” Manor said. Customer Susan Bialasz of Somerset said she didn’t mind the lack of traffic but “I felt bad for the businesses here. One day it was a report of rain and then it quickly changed to a heat advisory. I have children and you don’t want to plan something when you think rain is going to ruin it. My family has been coming down here all our lives and the weather predictions really stink.” “We have a baby season to work with and as business owners we put our blood, sweat and tears into this. I just hope they don’t shoot down the weekends we have in September,” Manor (Shore - See Page 13)

–Photo courtesy Stafford Police STAFFORD – On Monday, August 27, 2018 Stafford Police had the honor of raising a very sacred flag behind our police headquarters. The flag was originally obtained shortly after Sept. 11, 2001 at Ground Zero in NYC. It was taken overseas on multiple military deployments by Stafford resident Lieutenant Colonel Steve Esposito of the United States Army Reserves. The flag has since been raised and flown at multiple prestigious government facilities, and First Responder buildings throughout the country. We were contacted by John Sullivan, owner of American Flag & Flagpoles, about our interest in flying the flag on this date.
The flag was flown at Berkeley Twp. PD, Barnegat Twp. Fire Dept., Ocean Twp. PD and then with Stafford. The flag is always flown for a minimum of 9 minutes and 11 seconds in honor of those lost on that 2001 day. Lt. Col. Esposito was on hand for a short ceremony at our HQ where he spoke, followed by members of our Honor Guard raising the flag.

THE FIRST PROSTHETIC IRIS
“Aniridia,” a genetic disorder that affects one in 50,000-100,000 people in the United States, involves a partially or completely absent iris, the colored circle surrounding the pupil that changes to allow different amounts of light to enter the eye. To address this problem, as well as other traumatic conditions that result in damage to the iris, researchers have developed the first prosthetic iris. Individually sized and colored for each patient, this thin and foldable construction of medical-grade silicone is surgically implanted in the eye and held in place by sutures and anatomical structures of the eye. FDA-approved as the first stand-alone prosthetic iris, the device is sure to help those who suffer functional and aesthetic complications from a missing iris. In clinical trials, 94 percent of patients reported satisfaction with the appearance of the artificial iris, and 70 percent of patients reported a significant decrease in light sensitivity and glare. At our office you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

MANAHAWKIN – Hackensack Meridian Health Southern Ocean Medical Center now provides the most advanced technology to clean hospital rooms and better protect patients against potentially deadly infections. Southern Ocean Medical Center uses the Helios ultraviolet disinfection system from Surfacide, LLC. The system uses three portable towers to emit powerful, yet safe UV-C energy that is effective against bacteria, spores, and viruses, including “superbugs.” “Protecting patients against infection has always been a high priority for us,” said Regina Foley, Ph.D., MBA, RN, chief operations officer of Southern Ocean Medical Center. “This technology provides an extra layer of protection for both patients and team members, which is especially important today because we need to take every step available to guard against infection from antibiotic-resistant organisms and other infectious agents.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are an estimated 722,000 such infections just in U.S. acute-care hospitals. The annual cost to treat these infections is estimated at nearly $10 billion a year. Patients who acquire an infection in a hospital also must remain in the facility for an average of 17 more days, further increasing health care costs. In addition to using traditional cleaning methods, Southern Ocean Medical Center invested
in the Surfacide UV-C technology to combat healthcare-associated infections. UV-C energy has been used for decades to kill organisms in water supplies and other applications where bacteria may be present. Now it is being used to kill organisms on hard surfaces found in hospitals including bed rails, TV remotes, patient tray tables, guest chairs, countertops, and bathrooms. “It’s no longer enough to rely just on approaches such as antibiotics and manual disinfection,” said Linda Broderick, director of Environmental Services and Transport, Southern Ocean Medical Center. “With this industry-leading technology, we can truly say we are going the extra mile to protect both our patients, visitors and team members.” The 10-to-30 minute process is performed by the Surfacide system in a closed room, after an environmental service cleaning professional has manually cleaned the area and wiped down surfaces. Treating the room with UV-C energy helps disinfect areas that were not completely cleaned manually. The Helios ultraviolet disinfection system is also used at Hackensack University Medical Center, Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center, Bayshore Medical Center, Palisades Medical Center and Raritan Bay Medical Center – Old Bridge and Perth Amboy.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE OCVTS Performing Arts Receives $400,000 Donation
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Vocational Technical School (OCVTS) Performing Arts Academy has received a $400,000 donation in support of performing arts education from the Gia Maione Prima Foundation, Inc. The donation will benefit the construction of a new, 50,000 square foot black box theater at the OCVTS Performing Arts Academy. The project is expected to be completed in 2019. The Prima Foundation will also have the naming rights to the theater for 10 years. Gia Maione Prima, the namesake of the foundation, was a New Jersey native and
performer herself. She was a singer, an artist, and even married to famous jazz musician and composer Louis Prima. Louis Prima passed away in 1978 and Gia Maione Prima passed away in 2013. Prior to her passing, she established The Prima Foundation in 2011 to make meaningful gifts to institutions that serve religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational endeavors. The OCVTS Performing Arts Academy offers majors in theater, vocal, dance, and audio engineering. The Performing Arts Academy will be a specialized high school where students can achieve a high school diploma and associate’s degree at the same time.
AMI Foundation Donates 270 Backpacks To Local Schools
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Atlantic Medical Imaging (AMI) Foundation recently lent a helping hand to those local students who might not have school supplies for the start of the new school year. AMI’s 10th Annual Tools for Schools Drive donated 260 backpacks fi lled with school supplies to 10 local elementary schools and organizations. This year’s drive brought AMI’s total donations up to 2,700 backpacks. “Many New Jersey children face the prospect of arriving for their first day of school
without the most basic of school supplies,” said Dr. Peggy Avagliano, President of the AMI Foundation Board of Directors. “With the support of our physicians and employees, along with the community at large, we are so pleased to help provide these children with an equal opportunity at a quality education.” The drive took place before the start of the new school year. Donations were collected in blue baskets placed in all 12 of AMI’s locations throughout Atlantic, Cape May, Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The AMI Foundation even purchased the backpacks to carry the school supplies.

Bartlett:
Continued From Page 1 Gerry P. Little on the Republican ticket in the November midterm elections. Little is in his office at 101 Hooper Ave., having just presided over maybe the shortest Freeholder meeting in Ocean County histor y. (About six minutes, from start to finish.) He sat in on the interviews for candidates the evening before, though not as a voting committee member. He knows who, out of the 10 contenders, the committee is going to recommend at the Ocean County Republican Organization later that evening. He does not know if one of the other nine will contest it. What he also knows is that no one thought the man who is the longest serving Freeholder in the state, who has battled illness before, would drop out of the campaign. Little’s son is a lieutenant is the U.S. Navy, stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington State. It was during this cross-country journey, probably somewhere in Wyoming, where he got the call. It was John Bartlett, his running mate. He was dropping out. He had to. “He explained that he needed this additional treatment, that he was feeling weak, and he just didn’t have the energy. He didn’t think it was fair to me. He didn’t think it was fair to the people of Ocean County. He felt it was his honorable responsibility to step aside,” Little said. This was to be their sixth election together. They knew each other for years, before Little became a Freeholder, with his work as chief of staff for the Ninth Legislative District. But, they really got to k now each other with Bartlett’s proposal for the natural lands trust fund. Little was a councilman in Surf City back in 1989 when Bar tlet t was pushing for this fund. At the time, Ocean County had three daily newspapers and numerous weekly newspapers. Little wrote to the papers a letter of support for Bartlett and his proposal. The idea became law, of course, with overwhelming support from all voting districts in the county. Bartlett tapped Little to serve on the Natural Lands Advisory Committee, which he accepted. Little joined the Board of Chosen Freeholders in 2003 to fill the unexpired term left by the late James J. Mancini. Bartlett and Little have run together since. “First of all, he’s a gentleman. He’s a true gentleman. He’s old school. He does not speak ill of anyone. He can play politics just like all of us can on the one hand. On the other hand, he does it straightforward, and face to face,” Little said. “He doesn’t talk ill about people. He talks about issues. He talks about his service to the county. He’s been a fantastic running mate. Everybody knows John. “Not only to me, but to all the Freeholders, John is not only the longest serving Freeholder, but also our longest serving
friend. That’s the way I feel about John,” Little said. Bartlett, a former teacher who taught at Toms River North, has served in public office continuously for nearly five decades. The Lakewood native moved to Pine Beach in 1947, where he was elected to council in 1974 and elected mayor four years later. He was elected Freeholder in 1979. Bartlett first announced he had cancer back in 2016, and was seeking treatment outside the state. Wracked with fatigue and pain in recent months, he and his family discovered he again had cancer. So at the special convention of the Republican Committee Sept. 13, George R. Gilmore, Chairman of Ocean County Republican Organization, said all 10 contenders would make great Freeholders. “But I think we all know that we suffered a serious loss on the ballot when Joh n Ba r tlet t w it hd rew h is na me,” Gilmore told the packed house that night. “John Bartlett has been a great Freeholder for this county. He’s been a great Freeholder for the people. I don’t think we can think of a person better to manage the finances of this county the way he has during his term. He’s a great individual…” After vetting the candidates, the Republican screening committee decided on Lacey Committeeman Gary Quinn to take Bartlett’s place on ballot. He’s a local developer, owner and president of Eastport Builders Inc. of Lacey. He and his wife have been married for 39 years. They have a son and daughter. He is currently the senior member of the Lacey Township Committee, and had previously been on the Lacey Township Board of Education. He had been appointed to the Pinelands Commission by Gov. Chris Christie. “John has had an such an impact on anything and everything that has happened throughout this county in the last 30 years, and he have to truly remember to thank him for his service,” Quinn said during his acceptance speech. He had aspired for years to become a Freeholder, something Bartlett encouraged him in. “But I had always dreamed of working with John because of all the knowledge he has. …John is somebody that is going to be truly, truly missed. There’s no question they are very large shoes to fill. I promise you I’m going to do my best to continue John’s work and continue with John’s legacy, because he truly has made this county what it is.” The other contenders included Jackson Councilman Rob Nixon, attorney Sean Gertner, Plumsted Mayor Jack Trotta, Pine Beach Mayor Lawrence Cuneo, South Toms River Mayor Oscar L. Cradle, Barnegat Councilman John Novak, Toms River’s Gus Kakavas, Berkeley Councilman James Byrnes, and the only woman, Stafford Councilwoman Sharon McKenna. “Nothing lasts forever,” Bartlett said at Aug. 29 workshop meeting. “And there does [come] a time to say, ‘Your time is now finished. Your time is now up.”

Continued From Page 7 said. “There are times when Toms River has rain but we don’t get a drop here on the island.” “I do understand how you would weigh in weather as a factor. It would be better if they simply said there was a slight chance of rain and not say it was defi nitely going to happen,” Manor added. Leah Steriti, manager of the Island Gypsy, a clothes store next to the Beach Authority, had a flurry of business on Labor Day. She noted a different situation than most. “I do know that when it is nicer out we aren’t as busy. We are busy today but Friday was slower than last year’s Labor Day weekend. We do better when it rains. Many of our customers have learned not to rely on the weather reports,” Steriti said. For one business, the day’s heat played a factor in delaying the start of their operation. A miniature golf course on West Atlantic Way in Chadwick Beach posted a sign stating that due to the heat, it would open at 4 pm on Labor Day. Stewart’s Root Beer in Seaside Heights features car port service and outside seating so weather plays a factor for their business. Manager Tysheena Osborne said “we had a lot of rain this summer and did impact us. We also had forecasts of rain that we never did get. We did well overall though.”
The Southern Ocean Times, September 15, 2018, Page 13 Maria Mastoris, marketing manager for the Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach water park in Seaside Heights, said that “unfortunately it wasn’t the best summer for us here on the Jersey Shore. “Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach, along with other Jersey Shore destinations, rely on good weather so people will flock to the shore. We had many hot and humid days this summer but that kept people indoors. The weather reporters even told people to stay inside, don’t go to the beach.” She added that this “hurts our property, along with every other boardwalk along the coast. We had cloudy, rainy weekends as well. However many times when it is raining in Toms River or across the bridge, it is sunny and nice in Seaside Heights. Usually the ocean breeze keeps the rain clouds away. However, our guests are watching New York news where it is saying it is raining outside, don’t go to the beach, so we lose all of those guests for that day,” Mastoris said. Mastoris noted that “even this Labor Day Weekend, the weather app on my phone was calling for rain, clouds and a crappy weekend. But it turned out to be perfect. Saturday was sunny, Sunday was sunny, today (Labor Day) was sunny. Our business is only open for three short months so we need to make the most of those months. Unfortunately, the weather and the weather forecasts didn’t help us this year”.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Healthy Hearing With Folic Acid In a world where the word “healthy” is tossed around like a salad, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by information about your well-being. To make things simpler for you, we’ve served up some easy-to-digest facts about diet and hearing health. Folate is naturally found in food, whereas folic acid is manmade from folate. This B vitamin is proven to help prevent high-frequency hearing loss, which is the varying inability to perceive high-pitched sounds and consonants. Folic acid decreases the amount of the amino acid homocysteine in your blood by increasing the creation of red blood cells. Too much homocysteine causes hearing difficulty by reducing blood flow to the inner ear. Folic acid is also useful in preventing heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Older adults need 400 micrograms of
folic acid every day for good health. It is easy to increase your daily intake of the nutrient by eating more of foods like beans, citrus fruits, enriched grains, and dark leafy vegetables. To make it easier, in January 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began requiring manufacturers to add folic acid to food that is labeled as “enriched.” Increasing your intake can be as simple as rolling out of bed and grabbing a quick breakfast. Just a cup of enriched breakfast cereal with one cup of 1 percent milk, plus three-quarters of a cup of OJ on the side, will put you at 32 percent of your daily requirement of folic acid in one meal. Talk about starting your day off right! Folic acid-rich foods like spinach, avocado, strawberries, broccoli, and cantaloupe are hearing helpful foods.
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!

7 Natural Remedies For Bug Bites And Stings
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Bugs are not my favorite thing. Even after living in Florida for 35 years, I never grew accustomed to them. If you’re like me and would rather not admit defeat in the summer by staying indoors, then go ahead and enjoy the outdoors. You can always soothe your bug bites with my tips below. Just FYI, the B vitamin trick doesn’t really work. Some people assume that taking B vitamins repels mosquitos and prevents bug bites, but that’s simply not true. You’re still going to get attacked because mosquitoes are more attracted by carbon dioxide and heat, which all of us put off. So forget the B vitamin trick. Here are 6 soothing ways to deal with bug bites: 1. Ice Cubes - Ice is a foolproof method for relieving irritation from insect bites on contact. Not only does ice temporarily numb the pain, it also reduces swelling and inf lammation so that your injury heals faster. 2. Tea Bags - While you might typically turn to tea to soothe your emotional state, this potent brew can aid sensitive skin as well. The tannins in green and black tea are natural astringents, working quickly to ease discomfort. 3. Garl ic - Eating garlic the day before you go for a hike is a good idea. As you sweat, you waft a sulfur compound, and bugs hate it. Alternatively, cut a clove in half and apply it to your skin. Be careful though, it occasionally
exacerbates your irritation, especially if it’s not diluted with coconut or olive oil. 4. Essential Oils - Tea tree oil and lavender are stellar options for bug bites. Put a wad of lotion in your palm and then 1 drop of Tea Tree, and 5 drops of Lavender essential oil. Dab this onto your wound and it’s instantly soothing. 5. Aloe Vera - Just slice open a fresh aloe leaf and apply the succulent’s gooey gel to the sting. Allow it to dry in place on your skin. The aloe plant’s anti-inf lammatory properties make it valuable for healing minor wounds and reducing risk of infection. 6. Basil - Basil isn’t just for pesto! for basil. This fragrant herb contains a chemical compound called eugenol, which relieves itchy, irritated skin. You can steep a tablespoon of dried herb (or 6 fresh leaves) in about 2 cups of water. Let it cool, then apply the basil-infused water to your skin with a compress. 7. Meat Tenderizer - Mix it with water to make a paste, then apply to the sting. It works on contact. Now you know the best ways to take care of yourself if you happen to get bit. Of course, it’s ideal to stay out of bug infested areas. Antihistamines and analgesics can be used for relief if necessary too. It’s smart to avoid wearing yellow in bee territory. Also, lighting a citronella candle (or using citronella bug spray) will keep insects away from your patio space.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
My Husband Is Addicted To Football!
Dear Joel, My husband and I had a really great summer. We took a nice vacation at the beach and made the most out of every weekend but now that the summer sun is fading away, I have to face a lonely life. See my wonderful husband is an extreme football fan. Once September arrives it’s nothing but JETS, JETS, JETS. I don’t like football, what can I do? Answer: I know you don’t like football, but you do like your husband so why not let him have his time in front of the TV. I know it cuts into your weekend time, but that can be a plus. Football season is a great time
to try out new recipes, catch up some of your favorite shows, slip out for some holiday shopping, clean out the garage, and lots more activities, like crafts. Why not make a scrap book of your wonderful summer together? He gave you lots of his time and focus in the summer. Let him take some time for himself and you may just find a great gift in your stocking. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

No-Hitter Sends BlueClaws To Championships
By Chris Christopher LAKEWOOD - Spencer Howard pitched a no-hitter Friday night, leading the Lakewood BlueClaws past the Kannapolis Intimidators 1-0 in the South Atlantic League playoffs. “I don’t think it has sunk in yet,” he said while his teammates staged a celebration in the team’s clubhouse. “It’s kind of surreal. It was a lot of fun. It went by quick. It’s incredible. I have no words for it.” The victory gave Lakewood, the Philadelphia Phillies’ low Class A farm team, a 2-0 sweep of its best of three Northern Division Championship Series against the Chicago White Sox affiliate from North Carolina. The BlueClaws advanced to the best of five SAL Championship Series in which they will meet the Lexington (Ky.) Legends, a Kansas City Royals farm club. The first two games of the series will be played in Kentucky. The remaining games will take place at FirstEnergy Park beginning Thursday, Sept. 13. Howard, a righty, threw as hard as 100 mph at FirstEnergy Park in his Sept. 7 classic. He blazed a 100 mph high, inside fastball past an enemy hitter for one of his nine strikeouts. Howard walked one, hit one batter and unleashed one wild pitch. He threw 103 pitches, including 73 for strikes. He faced 30 batters - just three over the minimum in a nine-inning game. He threw the seventh gem in the history of the BlueClaws, who began play in 2001. It was the third nine-inning no-hitter by a single Lakewood pitcher (Gavin Floyd in 2002 and Nick Fanti last season). And it was Lakewood’s first postseason no-hitter in franchise history.
“It’s the first night all season that I had my curve working,” Howard said. “It’s the first night all year that I had confidence in it. I have been working on it a lot and it finally came together. I used it more than I did my changeup. I probably had the best command of my fastball that I had all season I worked on my curveball extensively for the entirety of the year. This was the first time in a game setting that it was this controlled. “In college, I didn’t really have it and last season I worked on a spike curve. The movement was there, but I really didn’t know how to throw it or compete with it. I played off the high fastball with it and I threw a couple in the dirt that were chase pitches.” Howard said Lakewood catcher Rodolfo Duran played large roles throughout the game. “I trusted him - the way he called the game,” Howard said after whiffing four of his first six hitters. “We were on the same page for the whole game.” Howard needed a mere four pitches to work through the eighth inning. “At the end, I threw my fastball where I was supposed to,” he said. “I let them (the Intimidators) put it in play.” Howard said he began thinking a no-hitter was possible late in the game. “Heading into the eighth, I noticed it,” he said. “When I went to the mound in the ninth, I kind of noticed it. Our fans noticed it. I could tell that by the way they were cheering.” The announced crowd of 3,592 roared its approval as Howard registered the game’s final out with a fly to left field off the bat of (BlueClaaws - See Page 21)

Inside The Law Congratulations! You Have Just Won The Lottery...Or Have You?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Today’s world is filled with scams. It’s becoming harder and harder to trust anyone. A new assault on victims is in the for m of L ot t e r y a nd Swe e p st a ke scams. These scams are becoming more and more common. They may come to you from social media, phone calls, mailings, e-mail and text messages-all saying that you have won money or pr i zes. T he sca m mer s may even try to impersonate public figures, police, FBI, Lottery and Officials. To make matters worse, they have also mastered the art of cloning otherwise legitimate web sites and social media profiles. So how do you know if your winnings are legitimate? Scammers like to ask for up-front payment, such as taxes, processing fe e s, del ive r y fe e s, legal fe e s or customer fees to collect your “winnings.” Any payment requested in advance should be a red f lag! The most common up-front payment request is a monetary transfer, because these are like cash. Other up-front payment schemes that are becoming popular include prepaid cards and iTunes gift cards because the scammers can access your balance if you give them the number from the back of the card or a PIN over the phone. Scammers may also ask that you send cash in the mail. Once you give them cash they are li kely to a sk for more a nd more. One trick the scammers use to entice
victims to send more Michael J.

T he scam mers may even th reaten violence. Never give these strangers your personal information. Don’t give them your banking information or credit card i nfor mat ion. T he scam mers will use this infor mation to make unauthorized charges to your credit card or access your bank account. The scammers can also sell your private information to other scammers. Some victims are asked to deposit fake checks and if that check bounces the victim will be responsible for the bounced check fee. If you have fallen victim to a scam you may be able to stop the damage. Report the matter to your financial institution, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, Local Police, the State Attorney General, The Federal Trade Commission and the US Postal Inspection Service.

BlueClaws:
Continued From Page 16 Steele Walker to Matt Vierling. Howard worked on his fundamentals while warming up in the bullpen prior to the game. “I went through my mechanics and got myself synced up,” he said. “I had a plan and it worked out. When I saw them go against us in the first game of the series, I saw they attacked the fastball.” Kannapolis loaded the bases in the third, in which Lakewood first baseman Jake Scheiner and shortstop Nick Maton made both of their team’s two errors, but Howard wriggled out of the jam, getting Walker to line to first base to end the inning. A Kannapolis leadoff batter reached first base in the sixth when he was hit by a pitch. However, Howard righted himself, retiring 18 of his final 19 hitters. Howard, 22, was drafted by the Phillies in the second round in 2017 out of Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo where he was a walk-on. The Templeton. Calif., resident was 9-8 with a 3.78 earned run average during the regular season for the BlueClaws as they won the overall league title and the first and second-half Northern Division championships. The 6-foot-3 Howard was second on the team in wins and paced the SAL in strikeouts with 147 in 112 innings. He was third on the club in innings pitched. He appeared in and started 23 games. He tossed one complete game. He allowed 101 hits, including six home runs, and 40 walks. He posted a 12.6 WHIP (walks and hits to innings pitched). Howard, a 200-pounder, is ranked 18th in the Phillies’ minor league system by Baseball America. He began his professional career in 2017 with the Williamsport (Pa.) Crosscutters of the New York-Penn League, a short-season Class A circuit. He was 1-1 with a 4.45 earned run average in 28.1 in-
nings in nine games. He whiffed 27 batters in his final 17 innings of the year. Howard received a $1.17 million signing bonus from the Phillies after being selected in the first-year player draft, according to mlb.com. The bonus was $373,800 under slot. Philadelphia’s amateur scouting department rated Howard as the draft’s top right handed pitcher. Howard was 8-1 with a 1.95 earned run average in his final season at Cal-Poly where he struck out 97 and walked 23 in his final season. Howard threw his other no-hitter as a seventh grader in California. The BlueClaws scored the only run they needed in the bottom of the sixth in which Simon Muzziotti plated Jose Antequera with a two-out single to left-center field. “Obviously, it’s exciting,” Howard said. “It gives us momentum going into the next series and hopefully it’ll help us come away with a ring.” Blueclaws News Bites: Lakewood’s other no-hitters: Keith Bucktrot (seven innings, 2001), Floyd (nine innings, loss, 2002), Carlos Carrasco and Andy Barb (2006), Jeb Stefan, Ramon Ovideo and Chris Burgess (2013), Nick Fanti and Trevor Bettencourt (2017), Fanti (2017). Lakewood has advanced to the SAL Championship Series all five times it has qualified for postseason play. Lakewood, which won the playoffs in 2006, 2009 and 2010, is 20-7 all-time in postseason play. The BlueClaws threw a minor league baseball best 23 shutouts during the regular season in 2018 and the blanking of the Intimidators was their first shutout of the postseason. Lakewood was 87-51 overall (.630). It was 46-23 (.667) during the second half and 41-28 (.594) in the first half of the season. Lexington was 70-60 (.559) overall during the regular season. It won the second-half Southern Division title at 39-29 (.574) and was third in the division in the first half (37-31, .544).

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 15 - sept 21 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): To prove you can stand on your own two feet you might step on someone else’s. In the week ahead, you may be bored by the mundane. You could be too eager to take risks or to demonstrate your independence. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): While other people are hard at work you may be preoccupied by disruptive influences in your social life. You might let flattery go to your head as the week rolls by and tempted to break off a relationship. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You like to be in the know so you are likely to investigate details that are sealed with a stamp of confidentiality. Concentrate on being a busy bee as this week unfolds and your efforts will lead you to the honeycomb. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be prepared for anything in the week to come. If you leave home without an umbrella you can’t blame the sky for raining. Today’s New Moon may spur new ideas and a more ambitious attitude towards a partner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Parlay your passions into improving your pay check. You might be entirely focused on a business project or powerful workplace startup in the week ahead. A chance conversation can light a fire under your money-making abilities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Power up your personality. In the week ahead, you might be more ambitious and more able to wield influence among the movers and shakers. The New Moon in your sign presages a refreshing new viewpoint and attitude.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The more you see the more you want. Don’t spend money on things that won’t stand up to scrutiny once your feeding frenzy passes. Loved ones may be unpredictable or try your patience as this week unfolds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the week ahead, you may need to offer encouragement and advice to a companion who is penny wise and pound foolish. You know that those who make decisions based on fear are sure to fail. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When it rains it pours. To enjoy financial security, it might be necessary to find temporary shelter when the winds blow against you. Remain steady in the week ahead when tempted to try a different direction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Persevere despite obstacles. You might enjoy taking a walk on the wild side in the week ahead. Something daring might break up the monotony, but don’t take risks with your money or your business relationships. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Dig deep. Investigating the secrets of life may rivet your attention this week. Experimenting with something new is good for the soul. But you may unleash complications by following through on an impulsive desire. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Spend your pennies wisely. You may be up-to-date with the latest gadgets and trends but your desire to be in the swim can sink your bank account. Use your pleasant personality to win people over to your side..

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Chicken Dinner Winner: Try A Time-Honored Method For Cooking Juicy Roast Chicken By Wolfgang Puck
I always think of early September as the start of the sit-down dinner season. The kids are back in school, and autumn is coming fast. So it’s the perfect time for everyone to gather around the table for a great meal, whether you’re dining with your partner and the children or you’re inviting friends over for a casual meal. One of the most popular main dishes for any meal like this is roast chicken. Whole roast poultry makes a beautiful presentation, and chicken is so widely popular that just about everyone will be happy with the menu. (Of course, you’ll also want to serve plenty of delicious side dishes like roasted or sauteed vegetables, a grain pilaf or some pasta, and a salad, not only to round out the meal but also to satisfy any non-meat-eaters at the table.) What’s the best way to roast a chicken? Do a quick search through your favorite cookbooks, magazines or websites and you’ll find many different sets of guidelines for achieving perfection, suggesting various temperatures, techniques, seasonings and all sorts of other tricks. So, rather than attempting to covering them all here, I thought it might be fun to suggest a time-honored alternative approach that will not only yield deliciously flavorful, juicy results but is also delightfully different: roasting the chicken in a salt crust. If you’ve heard at all about salt-crust roasting, it was probably in association with Chinese cuisine. Cooking whole poultry or fish completely enclosed in a mixture of equal parts coarse salt and flour, combined with enough water to make a stiff but pliable dough, traces back centuries to Asian kitchens in regions where salt was plentiful and acted as an effective preservative. Molded around a chicken or another large piece of food, the crust seals in all its juice and flavors while it cooks; and just enough of the crust’s key ingredient mingles with the food inside to yield perfectly seasoned - but, surprisingly, not too salty - results. It’s simple to adapt that technique to other cuisines by using different aromatic seasonings than the ginger, scallions and garlic you might find in Asia. In the following recipe, I include sprigs of fresh tarragon, a favorite French companion to roast chicken; and, to add even more flavor, I also prepare a vinaigrette seasoned with Dijon mustard and more fresh tarragon to use as a simple sauce for each serving. Once you’ve tried the recipe my way, feel free to substitute your own favorite seasonings and sauces. I hope you’ll try salt-crust roasting soon, whether for family or friends. It’s surprisingly easy, and it is certain to inspire the admiration of everyone gathered around your dinner table. ROAST TA R R AGON- SCENTED CHICKEN IN A SALT CRUST WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE Serves 6 to 8 2 whole chickens, each about 3 pounds (1.5 kg) 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh tarragon 3 pounds (1.5 kg) coarse sea salt or kosher salt 3 pounds (1.5 kg) all-purpose flour About 3 cups (750 mL) water 2 large eggs, lightly beaten, for egg wash Mustard vinaigrette (recipe follows) Season the insides of the chickens with pepper. Gently inserting your clean fingers through the neck opening of each bird, gently loosen the skin covering the breast meat, taking care not to tear the skin. Carefully insert a fresh tarragon sprig between the skin and meat of each breast half. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). In a large mixing bowl, stir together the salt and flour. Stir in enough of the water to form a stiff dough. Divide the dough into two equal pieces. For each chicken, divide the dough half into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. With a rolling pin, roll out the smaller piece of dough to form a circle slightly larger than the chicken and about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick. Place the dough on one half of a large roasting pan and set a chicken on top. Roll out the larger piece of dough to a circle large enough to generously cover the chicken and about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick, and drape it over the chicken. Brush the edges of the dough with some water and pinch the edges together to seal them well so no air can escape. Repeat with the other chicken and remaining dough. With the egg wash, evenly brush the tops of the dough-covered chickens. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast until the crust is deep golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the chickens from the oven and, with large, sturdy spatulas, carefully transfer them to a large serving platter or two smaller platters. At the table, use a meat mallet and tongs to break and remove the crusts, taking care to avoid the hot steam. Transfer the chickens to a cutting board, and cut into quarters. Spoon some of the vinaigrette onto serving plates and place the chicken on top. Serve immediately, passing the remaining vinaigrette for guests to help themselves. MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE Makes about 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar or other good-quality wine vinegar 2 large egg yolks 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 large pinch freshly ground black pepper 2 cups (500 mL) safflower oil Put the mustard, tarragon, vinegar, egg yolks, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. With a wire whisk, briskly stir together the ingredients until thoroughly blended. While whisking briskly and continuously, slowly drizzle in the oil until it is fully incorporated and the dressing has formed a thick, smooth emulsion. Set aside until serving.
