Howell Teen Competes In Statewide Drug Prevention Competition
By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL — A Howell High School student will be performing his winning song on the big stage after earning top honors in a statewide drug prevention music competition. Stephen Sayegh, a sophomore at Howell High School, was chosen as the Monmouth County finalist in the 15th annual New Jersey Shout Down Drugs competition, sponsored by the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey (PDFNJ). Created back in 2005, the competition challenges students all over the state to create their own original song with lyrics that revolved around a substance abuse prevention message. The premise is to “allow teens to deliver the prevention message
to each other through their favorite medium of music,” according to the website. Stephen’s song “Sugarcoated Overdoses” was chosen as the top song from Monmouth Country entries by an independent panel of judges. In an interview with Jersey Shore Online, Stephen explained that the contest was first proposed to him by his music teacher at HHS. Stephen was the only student to enter out of his entire class. With the help of a good friend, he worked to put together some original music and lyrics. The essence of his song “Sugarcoated Overdoses” was meant to capture real-life perspectives. “We wanted to write about the stories of people (Competition - See Page 6)

By Kimberly Bosco On the heels of the Spring Hill forest fire that blazed through more than 11,000 acres of the Pinelands in Burlington County recently, the New Jersey State
Forest Fire Service is speaking out to inform residents on what they do and what to expect when it comes to fighting fires. The Spring Hill fire sparked up a little less than a month ago
on March 30, 2019. As the most significant forest fire we have seen this year, the blaze burnt through 11,600 acres of forest in Washington and Woodland (Wildfire - See Page 4)

Local Nonprofit Donates $1M To Heart Research
By Kimberly Bosco MONMOUTH COUNTY – A local organization is making a big difference in little hearts as they hit the $1 million mark in contributions to congenital heart disease research. Big Hearts to Little Hearts, a Monmouth County nonprofit formed in 2003, finally reached this major milestone with a recent $70,000 contribution to The Cardiac Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Big Hearts to Little Hearts is dedicated to raising awareness and research funds for children born with congenital heart disease. According to their website, “congenital heart disease (CHD) is the #1 birth defect-related killer. Each year more children die from congenital heart defects than from all forms of pediatric cancer combined. There is no cure for any of the 40 types of defects, and little is known about what causes most of them.” The grassroots organization was formed by local parents of a CHD patient who believed that more research needed to be done to cure this deadly disease. “We are very motivated because we are parents of children suffering from CHD,” stated Lynne Accisano-Stanek of Farmingdale, parent and (Research - See Page 11)

Wildfire:
Continued From Page 1 Townships. Shawn Judy, Assistant Division B Firewarden, said that the fire’s cause is still under investigation. In the meantime, State Forest Fire Service officials held a press conference on April 24 to discuss the wildfire terminology, the process of prescribed burning, wildfire season, forest fires to date, and prevention as New Jersey heads into official wildfire season. Terminology Before delving into any new topic, it is beneficial to know the terminology. Trevor Raynor of the State Forest Fire Service fleshed out some of the common terms thrown around when people talk about forest fires. When you hear a fire described as “contained,” this means that “forward progress has stopped but it has the potential to escape,” said Raynor. A “controlled” fire is a fire that is contained on all sides, the perimeter has been stopped from spreading, but it is still “smoldering internally.” A fire that is “out” is not usually labeled as such until the area sees a major rainfall, Raynor explained. “Out” fires signify that there is no active smoking or burning on any branches, stumps, etc. in the wildfire area. Wildfires are not typically reported until they become significant. According to DEP Assistant Commissioner for Natural and Historic Resources Ray Bukowski, a significant fire is one that has reached 50 acres or more, or is a threat to the structures near it. A 100 acre fire signifies a “major fire.” Prescribed Burning Over the past few weeks you might have noticed fire officials stationed along the roadside while a blaze heats up along the forest floor on major thoroughfares such as Route 539 or Route 72. This is called prescribed burning. “By using fire as a tool…that ultimately helps us to suppress fire,” and prevent fire from spreading, said State Forest Fire Service Firewarden Greg McLaughlin. While this may sound a bit backwards, the forest fire service is actually helping our forests. Prescribed burning season takes place from October 15 to March 15, said McLaughlin. This year, the forest fire service extended that time frame by a few weeks, making it a very successful one. The goal is to perform prescribed burning on approximately 20,000 acres of forest each year. This year saw 22,600 acres, he added. These controlled burns are small, according to McLaughlin; about 75 percent reach a maximum of only 10 acres or less. Prescribed burns target “ladder fuels” in order to eliminate the starting point for wildfires. Ladder fuels refer to the vegetation along the forest floor that allows a fire to travel upward from the ground, to low tree branches on canopy trees, to tree tops, McLaughlin said. Picture a fire starting in
the shrubbery and spreading up tree trunks and branches –the name “ladder” fuels is a visualization of the process. “We’re trying to break that connection,” said McLaughlin. And it is no coincidence that the State Forest Fire Service chooses fall and springtime to perform these prescribed burns. Spring and fall seasons are peak wildfire season. Peak Wildfire Season According to McLaughlin, the spring wildfire season is much busier than the fall due to factors like humidity, heat, and wind. In springtime, humidity is down which means foliage is dryer or has the potential to dry up quicker. The weather begins to heat up but the trees remain leafless, allowing for the sun to penetrate further into the forest. These are risk factors that combine to create what McLaughlin called a “high fire danger” day. During the spring, the forest fire service takes a “direct attack” approach to tackling forest fire prevention, especially on high fire danger days. To do this, they use a “build up index which is a cumulative drying indicator,” stated McLaughlin. If the index indicates increasing dryness over time, “we will put out people actively patrolling the woods.” Normally, they will have people stationed in fire lookout towers to monitor from above. In the event of a high fire danger day, there will also be patrols on the ground. The forest fire service builds all of their equipment in-house so that it is specialized to get into those tricky, hard-to-get-to spots in the woods in order to put out a fire. It is only for 35 days in the springtime that the department outsources for extra materials. During this time, the forest fire service spends approximately $250,000 to afford aircrafts that can dump water on a fire. When it is peak time for wildfires, they need all hands on deck and then some. Springtime is much more likely to see the spark of wildfires than summer, McLaughlin explained, because summer has more humidity and more rainfall. The wetness doesn’t allow the leaves to dry out as quickly. 2019 Fires & Prevention This year to date, the State Forest Fire Service has responded to 331 fires. Of this number, only four or five were considered “significant” fires, said Bukowski (one of which was Spring Hill). This number is significantly higher than what the department saw this time last year, which was approximately 200 fires (year to date). This was due in part to the fact that “last year was the wettest year on record,” Bukowski added. As for this year, that is not the case. The department saw five reportable wildfires on April 23, 2019 alone. In New Jersey, 95 percent of wildfires are caused by people, Bukowski said. The forest fire service is simply trying to spread awareness to the public about the reality of wildfires and wildfire prevention in order (Wildfire - See Page 6)

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Hello, everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend and was able to enjoy time with family and friends! I, along with my fellow Freeholders, am proud to announce the eighth annual Made in Monmouth event on April 13th was an absolute success! This year, more than 5,000 shoppers supported the event, which showcased more than 260 vendors who displayed and sold their locally-made products. From furniture and jewelry to pet products and gourmet specialty foods, there was truly a wide variety of items for attendees to choose from. Serving as liaison to the Monmouth County Division of Economic Development,
From The Desk Of Arnone: Spring Marked By Recreation And Bridge Reconstruction I take great pride in hosting events like Made in Monmouth. When I created this program shortly after I joined the Board of Chosen Freeholders, my goal was to focus my attention on small consumer product manufacturers located within Monmouth County to help them grow their businesses. As such, I’m happy to say the County has amassed a list of nearly 700 Made in Monmouth companies and counting! Such an undertaking could not be done without the hard work of staff and volunteers who have helped grow this event year after year. I would like to thank them and let them know I look forward to their help and support during Made in Monmouth 2020!
My fellow Freeholders and I would also like to commend the hardworking students from Asbury Park and surrounding towns who participated in the Asbury Park Junior Entrepreneur Training [JET] Program. These students learned business and networking skills in the weeks leading up to Made in Monmouth by creating their own merchandise to sell the day of the event. Additionally, my fellow Freeholders and I participated in Arbor Day celebrations throughout Monmouth County on April 12. We visited numerous school districts to help plant trees donated from the county. It’s always fun to stop by different schools and on April 12 I was able to visit with
Deal Elementary School, Thurgood Marshall Elementary School and Spring Lake Heights Elementary School during their individual celebrations. As the liaison to the Monmouth County Shade Tree Commission, I want to thank the staff for their hard work and dedication, without which Arbor Day would not be possible. I also want to thank them for making our county one of the most beautiful ones in the country! On a separate note, the county is advancing a major infrastructure improvement project in the Boroughs of Rumson and Sea Bright - the reconstruction of the Sea Bright - Rumson Bridge over Shrewsbury River on County Route 520 (Rumson Road).
On April 10, I participated in the first stakeholders meeting of the Final Design Phase, along with the local officials, local residents and business owners/operators. The meeting took place in the new Sea Bright Beach Pavilion and it was very well attended. It was an informative meeting and the project team received a lot of positive feedback for the proposed improvements. I am very pleased with the progress we are making on this much needed improvement project. As I indicated at the previous Freeholder meeting, we anticipate that the construction documents will be ready for a public bid by late 2020 so that the construction can begin in spring 2021.
A project of this size is well beyond the recourses of any county in this state. As the Monmouth County liaison to the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, I am appreciative of my fellow NJTPA Board members for their support in advancing this project with the federal funds. I will continue my efforts for shared services, joint projects and cooperation between various levels of governmental entities to reduce the overall costs to the taxpayers, to streamline receipt of federal funding when available, and expedite advancement of transportation improvement projects. As always, it’s a privilege to serve as your Freeholder Director.

offense, and not more than $25,000 for the second and each subsequent offense, to $20,000 for the first offense, and not more than $50,000 for the second and each subsequent offense. “Bad actors that engage in energy slamming prey upon New Jersey residents that are simply trying to keep their power on,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “This legislation will protect all New Jersey residents from deceptive and misleading companies that scam consumers out of their hardearned money.” “There are overly aggressive operators preying on vulnerable ratepayers,” said Assemblyman Ron Dancer. “Seniors, especially, are often victimized by ‘slamming,’ having their electric or gas suppliers changed and their rates increased without consent. The significant penalties established by this law are strong deterrents to energy scammers.” In 2016, New Jersey settled energy-slamming cases against third-party suppliers for almost $7 million.
Two years earlier, the state attorney general and the Board of Public Utilities filed complaints against three power suppliers for deceptive business practices including slamming. Those companies settled for almost $8 million in restitution, according to Dancer. “Any ratepayer is susceptible to slamming, but for seniors on a fixed income or families struggling to make ends meet, it is a threat to their financial security,” said Assemblywoman Amy Handlin. “This bill increases penalties to a level that will make deceitful marketers think twice about ripping off the public.” “Changing consumers’ electric power or gas supplier without their knowledge or consent is unacceptable,” said Assemblyman Daniel Benson. “Residents should always be kept informed when any change on their energy bill takes place, especially if it results in a higher monthly payment. Raising penalties is a deterrent for these types of unfair, unscrupulous prac-
tices.” “In the past year, certain third-party energy suppliers took advantage of an unusually cold winter to change consumers’ energy suppliers without their knowledge or consent,” said Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling. “Energy slamming is anti-consumerism at its best and it impacts families in a way that hurts them the most, their budgets. This new law takes a much needed step to protect residents from this unfair business practice.” “A number of consumers complained of these unauthorized changes which resulted in skyrocketing energy utility bills,” said Assemblyman Paul Moriarty. “Doubling civil penalties for slamming practices will help to discourage third-party energy suppliers from taking advantage of consumers in the future.” Primary sponsors of the bill include Senators Nellie Pou and Linda Greenstein; and Assemblymembers Ron Dancer, Daniel Benson, Eric Houghtaling, Amy Handlin, and Paul Moriarty.

really going through this,” he said. His song makes mention of substance abuse hotlines, the difficulties of quitting drugs “cold turkey,” and the way substance abuse can significantly impact one’s life. Stephen noted that the main message he would like to convey, and a popular refrain used in the song, is “We Can Be Ok.” This win earned Stephen a spot at the annual Prevention Concert, where 24 students – 13 musical acts –will compete for $10,000 in music contracts. While he is not looking to win the contest per se, Stephen is very excited to attend. “I’m really looking forward to meeting other artists,” he said. The Prevention Concert will be held on

Federal “Real ID” Act And New Jersey Compliance For Domestic Travel
MONMOUTH COUNTY – Effective October 1, 2020, individuals will not be able to fly commercially or enter certain federal facilities with a driver license or ID that is not “Real ID” compliant. However, they may use a passport or military ID. Until that date (October 1, 2020), New Jersey driver licenses or ID cards are valid for domestic air travel. New Jersey was granted an extension by the Department of Homeland Security to implement “Real ID” compliant driver licenses and ID cards by October 10, 2019.

Continued From Page 1 President of Big Hearts to Little Hearts, in a release. “We hope others join us. This could happen to anyone’s child. Together we are working for longer and more comfortable lives for all those with CHD - we call them ‘heart warriors’.” Big Hearts has worked to help children far and wide, as well as those close to home, such as Bella from Jackson Township. Bella is a 13-year old born with Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome, which means that her right atrium and right ventricle are underdeveloped. Bella has endured three heart surgeries already and doctors expect she will need a heart transplant soon enough. Catherine Kern, Bella’s mother, stated in a release: “Bella now lives with a single ventricle, or ‘half a heart’…The work that Big Hearts has done gives us great hope that Bella and so many children like her will have a better alternative than transplant and will be able to survive for a long lifetime.” With the $1 million in contributions Big Hearts has made to CHOP over time, the
The Howell Times, May 4, 2019, Page 11 group has helped to kick start 25 initiatives at CHOP, including the Fetal Heart Program, Single Ventricle Care, Youth Heart Watch and Adult Congenital Heart Program, according to the organization. Some of the more recent contributions have gone to help create 3D models of tricuspid valves in CHD patients. Not only has Big Hearts made some big changes in the local community, but their reach has extended all the way to Dr. Mark Rodefield in Indiana, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami, Brielle and Farmingdale Elementary Schools, and Manasquan Recreation Center. “We are truly grateful to Big Hearts to Little Hearts for its ongoing support of the Cardiac Center at CHOP,” stated Joseph Rossano, MD, Chief of the Division of Cardiology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, in the release. “The organization’s support will help power innovative treatments and breakthrough cardiac research.” If you wish to join in the fight against CHD, Big Hearts will be hosting a Golf Outing fundraiser on May 20 at Jumping Brook Country Club. For more information, visit bighearts2littlehearts.com/ upcoming-events/.

Girl Scouts Of The Jersey Shore Requests Nominations For Phenomenal Women Under 40 Award
FARMINGDALE – Do you know a young woman who is making a difference, serving the greater community, or doing something phenomenal to help others? Recognize her! The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore is accepting nominations until May 15 for the fourth annual Phenomenal Women Under 40 Awards. The event recognizing emerging women leaders in Monmouth and Ocean counties will be held on Wednesday, September 18, 2019 at The Mainland in Manahawkin. Candidates must live or work in Monmouth or Ocean counties and be under the age of 40 on December 31, 2019. Candidates will be evaluated based on their personal and professional accomplishments, philanthropic efforts and other exemplary qualities. Nominees do not have to be affiliated with the Girl Scouts. “Phenomenal Women Under 40 is our way of celebrating young women professionals while they’re still ascending to the full height of their accomplishment,” said Girl Scouts CEO Eileen Higgins. “These leaders make a difference in the world today, and they’ll continue to make a difference for a lifetime.” The names of candidates who are chosen for the award will be announced in mid-June and all nominators will be notified of their candidates’ status at that time.

Don’t Get Pinned With Diseases You Don’t Have
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. When you purchase over-the-counter medications or receive a prescription, you take the pills with sincere hope that you’ll feel better. For sure, the pills may do the trick, for example, stop reflux, or relieve arthritis, but I also wonder if you know that the medications can suppress and deplete nutrients. You can fix this situation immediately if you know what nutrients are getting mugged out of your body. In the process of carrying out their intended effect, drugs can slowly deprive your body of the nutrients it needs to feel well and stay healthy. I call this nutrient depletion effect “drug mugging.” As an example, acid blockers can suppress absorption and act as “drug muggers” by reducing your levels of many nutrients, including calcium, folate, iron, vitamin D and B12. This impacts your energy levels, bones, mood, teeth and immunity. Another example is with statins which reduce CoQ10, vitamin D and selenium. This diminishes your mood, sexual abilities, immune function and thyroid levels. It can impact heart rhythm. As you take medications and therefore become deficient in vital nutrients, you begin to feel sick in different ways, or like something is amiss with you. You can’t put your finger on it. Doctor’s don’t think in terms of drug mugging, they think in terms of symptoms and diseases, so inevitably you get pinned with more diseases. For example, some drugs induce diabetes, by increasing your blood glucose, others cause depression by stealing magnesium. This situation is
preventable. Another example is with medications used for menopause, oral contraception or hormone replacement. These estrogen or progestin-based drugs appear to suppress many nutrients including the B vitamins, in particular B6, riboflavin and folate, along with the mineral magnesium. This can cause a woman to sink into depression, or develop nerve pain or hypothyroidism. I’m not suggesting you stop anything, but it’s common sense to restore what is being depleted from your body. If you have to be on a medicine, then for pennies a day, you can ‘insure’ your health and well-being. It’s not just medication, it’s also food and lifestyle habits. For example, coffee drinkers lose a lot of minerals. This impacts your bones and teeth, as well as your energy levels. If you love these beverages like I do, you can offset the loss of the nutrients by eating a lot of healthy green vegetables, especially leafy ones. You can also supplement. Staying indoors and not getting enough sunshine can suppress vitamin D. The drug-mugging effect is very real, and it happens with every medication. It is a well documented phenomenon that’s been known for decades. In an effort to protect you, I wrote a book on this topic that is available on Amazon, and in the German, Korean, Greek and Hebrew languages. It’s called Drug Muggers, Which Medications are Robbing Your Body of Essential Nutrients and Natural Ways to Restore Them. When you get a copy of that you can look up your medications and know which nutrients to restore.

Inside The Law Congratulations! You Have Just Won The Lottery... Or Have You?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & 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. Deem m o n e y i s t o cl a i m that there is a larger ja ck pot at st a ke or that there was some error or problem that ca n on ly be solved w i t h m o r e m o n e y. 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.

Celebrate County History At The 12th Annual ‘A Weekend In Old Monmouth’ Tour
5/31/19
FREEHOLD – The annual “Weekend in Old Monmouth” returns with 50 historic sites throughout Monmouth County opening their doors, with fees waived, to visitors interested in local history from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 5. “Weekend in Old Monmouth is the perfect event for all to learn about our County’s rich history and diverse architecture,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the County’s Historical Commission. “For the weekend of this tour, the entrance fees at these historic sites are waived allowing special access to residents and visitors who are interested in Monmouth County History.” The five sites added to the 2019 Weekend in Old Monmouth tour are: • Allentown Presbyterian Church, Allentown • St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Freehold • Squan Village Historical Society, Manasquan • Old Brick Reformed Church, Marlboro • T. Thomas Fortune Cultural Center, Red Bank The sites on the tour are generally operated independently. The self-guided tour has recommended routes that guide history buffs’ travel by foot, bicycle or car to the various site locations. To start planning your route,
preview the tour sites on the County’s website at VisitMonmouth.com. Additionally, the historic sites can be viewed on a smart phone or computer through the downloadable tour book with map and links to the virtual tour. The virtual tour uses Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, which precisely locates sites. Residents and visitors can view and learn about each site and access the four suggested self-guided tours on the interactive map. The annual Weekend in Old Monmouth tour is coordinated by the Monmouth County Historical Commission. The Historical Commission, which was established by the Board of Chosen Freeholders in 1988, is dedicated to the preservation of the County’s rich, historic heritage. As advocates for the preservation of historic properties, sites and projects, the Commission encourages citizens to be involved as well. In addition to Weekend in Old Monmouth, the Historical Commission provides matching grants for municipal and non-profit historic preservation projects and historic programming, recognizes individuals and groups for efforts to preserve historic sites and resources and offers an essay contest for fifth-grade students.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen This Pasta Recipe Showcases One Of Spring’s Most Delicious Vegetables By Wolfgang Puck ANGEL HAIR WITH ASPARAGUS, SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS, AND SHAVED PARMESAN CHEESE Serves 4 For the shiitake mushroom base: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 6 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup (60 mL) mixed diced carrot, celery and onion 2 teaspoons minced shallots 7 ounces (215 g) fresh shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and coarsely chopped 1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine 1 cup (250 mL) chicken stock or broth, homemade or store bought 1/4 cup (60 mL) heavy cream Pinch chopped fresh thyme leaves Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper For the mushroom pasta sauce: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 pound (375 g) fresh shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces 1 heaping tablespoon minced shallots 2 teaspoons minced garlic 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) chicken stock or broth, homemade or store-bought 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper For the pasta: 12 ounces (375 g) dried angel-hair pasta 24 medium-sized asparagus spears, tough stem ends snapped off 1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves 1 ounce (30 g) Parmesan cheese, thinly shaved
Make the mushroom base: In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute, stirring continuously, until fragrant. Stir in the carrot-celery-onion mixture, shallots and shiitakes, and saute about 2 minutes longer. Pour in the wine, and stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cream, thyme, salt and pepper. Set aside to cool for 10 to 15 minutes, and then puree in a food processor or blender. (If it seems too thick, thin with 1 tablespoon each of stock and cream.) Cover and refrigerate if not using immediately. About 30 minutes before serving, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. About 15 minutes later, bring a wide, shallow pan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, for the sauce, heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the shiitakes, and saute for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the shallots, garlic, and butter, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter has fully melted and incorporated. Pour in the stock or broth and 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of the mushroom base. (Save the remaining base to improve the flavor of other dishes that include mushrooms.) Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Season the large pot of boiling water with salt and add the angel hair. Cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, 3 to 5 minutes. After the pasta starts cooking, season the shallow pan of water with salt, reduce the heat to medium, and add the asparagus; cook until tender but still firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain immediately. When the pasta is done, drain it, add to the pan of sauce, and toss gently, coating it well. Remove from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan and parsley.Adjust the seasonings to taste. To serve, divide the pasta, mushrooms and sauce among four large heated plates, spooning some sauce over the pasta. Arrange the asparagus on top. Garnish with shaved Parmesan and serve immediately.
