| May 18, 2019
By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – At a recent meeting of the Township Council, residents questioned an ordinance in opposition to Howell Township becoming a “sanctuary city.” According to the Center for Immigration Studies, these sanctuaries are defined as “cities, counties, and states (that) have laws, ordinances, regulations, resolutions, policies, or other practices that obstruct immigration enforcement and shield criminals from ICE [US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement].” The ordinance opposes both New Jersey becoming a sanctuary state and Howell becoming a sanctuary city to unregistered immigrants, citing health and safety violations. “…Across the county, various states and

municipalities have enacted policies to provide “sanctuary” to illegal aliens, even though such individuals are in violation of federal immigration laws…[however] the Township Council of the Township of Howell believes that such “sanctuary” policies are harmful to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the Township of Howell,” stated the ordinance. The township believes that declaring sanctuary status will make room for “undermining law enforcement, encouraging violations of federal immigration law, and jeopardizing receipt of meaningful federal funding.” On May 7, meeting regular Barbara Dixel called the ordinance “disgusting,” painting a picture of ICE agents ripping immigrant families from their homes in Howell. “Other states and other agencies and other governments have declared themselves to be sanctuary cities to protect their residents,” said Dixel. In response, Deputy Mayor Evelyn O’Donnell said that the council was simply trying to be “proactive.”

According to Aldrich Principal Andrew Smith, “the space was designed for all types of learners to be successful with emphasis on students receiving special education, academic support and educational support services such as occupational, physical and speech therapies.” In the Panther IDEA Lab, students can enjoy sitting at colorful tables with flexible, moveable chairs to keep their brains and bodies moving.

tree…” and winners received an azalea bush courtesy of the Shade Tree Commission. All Howell schools were also given a tree to plant in celebration of Arbor Day.
Resident Tina Smilek stated that she wasn’t in opposition to the ordinance, but still wanted to see more background for making such a declaration. She noted that “sanctuary city” is a broad term and more minor details might need to be fleshed out in order for the ordinance to resonate with residents. “There’s different reasons for not wanting sanctuary cities…I mean, there’s people that are immigrants that actually may need help, so I don’t want to cut out one group of people for another,” said Smilek. “It’s very explosive right now…I just wish there was more to the resolution so I could understand where you guys are coming from.” While Smilek had many questions on the topic, the council did not immediately have answers for her. The ordinance favors other pertinent issues over aiding undocumented immigrants, stating that “the State should instead focus on reducing spending and providing property tax relief to the legal residents and taxpayers of this state who are burdened with the highest property taxes in the nation.” A public hearing and adoption of the ordinance will be held at the May 21 meeting at 7 p.m.
• Video and Multimedia Production • 3D Design and STEM • Making and a “makeHERspace” Each of these stations has a technological component and instructions to go along with it. Smith added that the makeHERspace area “was created to ignite the interest of female students in technology, engineering, and design.” Many schools are incorporating a “maker mindset” into their educational curriculum to allow students to create and construct their own solutions. Howell’s memorial Elementary School recently implemented a similar innovative, hands-on space called The Bulldog Retreat. The Bulldog Retreat, also funded through an OceanFirst grant, is an outdoor STEAM-oriented classroom space.
Township officials stated: “During the program at each school, members of the Shade Tree Commission discussed the importance of maintaining and protecting our shade trees in our community. The day concluded with every third grader receiving their own seedling to plant at home.”

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
County Handling Pressing Concerns While Also Expanding Recreation From The Desk Of The
Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone Happy May! After this rainy and cold spring, I am looking forward to the summer months ahead. I know I always say that it has been a busy couple of weeks but it truly has been. I’d like to take some time to share with you what I have been up to and a few important dates to come. Last week I, along with my fellow Freeholders, attended the 10th anniversary celebration of the opening of the Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center. The center was established with the intention to create
a single “one-stop” location for abused children and their families to receive the services they need. The building was designed to be a child-focused facility in order to reduce the trauma to the victims. In 2015, the center saw an expansion with the addition of a medical suite where exams can be conducted, as well as space for art therapy and mental health counseling. While it is an unfortunate and terrible tragedy that a facility like this is needed, I am grateful for the wonderful staff at the Monmouth
County Prosecutor’s Office and the volunteers who care so deeply for each individual who walks through the door. On a separate note, I joined tourism and municipal representatives from throughout the county last week at the bi-annual Monmouth County Tourism Advisory Group meeting. These meetings are hosted by our tourism division as a way to discuss the tourism industry and how it affects our region and our tourism partners. As liaison to the Department of Public Information and Tourism, I always look forward to these meetings. The county has been and will continue to be as a resource to our tourism partners to ensure they see a successful season. As mentioned at the meeting, our marketing efforts
concerns expressed by residents regarding the Monmouth County Reclamation Center that has been open since the 1970s. I want the residents to know that their concerns are being heard and that the county has and will remain to be proactive in our efforts at the landfill. Finding a solution has and will remain to be my top priority until the issues are resolved. I have received many requests asking for a public meeting regarding the Monmouth County Reclamation Center and the County’s efforts regarding the odors associated with the landfill. I wanted you to know that I have scheduled a meeting for May 13 at 7 p.m. in Tinton Falls. At this meeting, I look forward to providing an in-person update on the progress that has been made
are working toward making Monmouth County a four-season destination. It is our goal to extend the tourism season year round to help our small businesses who rely heavily on seasonal traffic. We’re looking forward to promoting all the great events and assets our county offers throughout the entire year! In speaking about tourism, I’d like to announce the annual Monmouth County summer kick-off celebration will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, May 20, in Belmar. We’ll be hosting our annual press conference at the Taylor Pavilion with several guests representing different aspects of the tourism industry. The event is rain or shine and all are invited to attend! On a separate note, I would like to address the ongoing
as well as the current work being done at the landfill. I will be addressing specific questions and concer ns that have been raised and discussing the next steps the County will be taking over the coming weeks. The meeting will be held at the Tinton Falls Municipal Building, 556 Tinton Ave., and I have invited Senator Vin Gopal, the Tinton Falls Mayor and Council, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection [NJDEP] and the Monmouth County Regional Health Commission. I hope you will join me to continue our open dialogue about everything that has been going on at the landfill and the future plans for remediation efforts. As always, it’s a privilege to serve as your Freeholder Director.
Hearing Wanted On Affordable Housing Rules, Especially In Howell Capitol Comments Assemblyman Edward H. Thomson 30th Legislative District, Serving Wall
TR ENTON – Assemblyman Edward H. “Ned” Thomson is calling for hearings on the state’s affordable housing requirements that are forcing towns like Wall and Howell to construct hundreds of units of high-density housing. In a letter to the Chair of the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee, Thomson said the affordable housing mandates are harming towns he represents and called for the committee to consider legislation reforming the current system. “I continue to hear from constituents and elected
officials who are deeply concerned about the effects of forcing municipalities to construct, in some cases, hundreds of units of high-density housing,” he wrote. “Much of their concern centers on the cost to local taxpayers, the impact on schools and infrastructure and the dramatic changes to the character of many communities.” Thomson said he has sponsored legislation that would eliminate the current housing mandates and allow the Legislature to set affordable housing policy in New Jersey. He noted the Legislature’s failure to address the
issue, has resulted in the courts appointing special masters to determine municipal affordable housing requirements. “It long past time to scrap this system in which unelected judges dictate to towns how much affordable housing they will be forced to provide,” said Thomson. “We need a reasonable approach to affordable housing in our state - not this current system which unfairly burdens certain communities with mandates to build massive housing developments that will drive up taxes while diminishing their quality of life.” Among the bills sponsored by Thomson is legislation that would reassert legislative authority to set affordable housing policy in the state. Other measures he sponsored would collect data to determine the actual affordable housing need,

The Hindenburg: A Local Tragedy, And An Entry In The World’s History
“Taps” was played after the wreath presentation. By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The exact spot is in the middle of a large, empty field, outlined in yellow and marked with a commemorative plaque: Historic Landmark Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Airship Hindenburg disaster on this site, May 6, 1937, 7:25 p.m. 36 people perished. It is 82 years later, the 82nd anniversary of the Hindenburg crash. The word repeatedly used Monday night was “somber,” and not only in remembrance of those who died on the airfield eight decades ago, but for the fallen troops lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. The annual remembrance is hosted by the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, the modern-day site of the crash that happened at the airship capital of world back in 1937. “We remember the lives tragically lost,” said Captain Muhammad Khan, commanding officer naval support activity Lakehurst. He lauded those who displayed heroism and finds inspiration in the individual stories of those who showed “bravery, selflessness and courage.” “Heroes are made in the moment. Bravery is a choice.” The age of airship travel began in the early 1920s with the United States, Great Britain and Germany leading the way. By the 1930s, only Germany pursued airship development. The dirigibles cut travel time by weeks and one, the Graf Zeppelin, completed a 990,000-mile around-the-globe flight. The Hindenburg was an 804-foot-long

dirigible capable of speeds up to 84 mph. It had a successful first year of transatlantic flights in 1936, making 10 trips and carrying more than 1,000 passengers total from Germany to the United States. Its first scheduled transatlantic trip for 1937 left from Frankfurt, Germany, on May 3, 1937, with 36 passengers and 61 crewmen. A line of thunderstorms near the Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester delayed the Hindenburg’s landing for several hours May 6. But finally, around 7 p.m., the crew was given the all-clear to land. At 7:25 p.m., the Hindenburg burst into flames and in less than a minute dropped to the ground. Thirty-six people - 13 passengers, 22 crew, and one ground crew member - died. The age of airships died as well. Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia Haines, whose mother worked as a nurse on base, and was there the evening of the Hindenburg disaster, stayed in touch with Walter and Werner Doehner, two brothers, then ages 10 and 8 respectively, who survived the crash. She called the tragedy the “biggest historical event” of that time. Although the ground that guests stood on was hallowed, Haines said everyone needs to remember its part of an active base - Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst - that’s a large part of Ocean County’s economy. Dr. Horst Schirmer, the son of the Hindenburg’s aerodynamical engineer, agreed, that the base occupies not only an important place in aviation history, but its future.

County To Accept Land Near Pine Lake Park
–Graphic courtesy Manchester Township A map showing the lots being donated by Manchester Township to Ocean County for its open space program. By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Nearly 30 acres are being added to the county’s open space roster in town. Manchester Township is donating 29.6 acres along the Toms River, off Ridgeway Road and around the perimeter of Pine Lake Park, to the county for its open space program. The Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee recommended the acceptance of this donation to the Board of Chosen Freeholders, which approved the donation at its May 1 meeting. Previously, in 2007, the county and township entered into an agreement that included a donation of 17 acres adjacent to county-preserved property. “That was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances,” Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines said. “The township has now agreed to donate the original lots plus the additional 12 acres.” This acquisition will connect three Natural Lands Trust Funds preserves totaling 86.5 acres along the Toms River, Haines said. Manchester Business Administrator Donna Markulic said that back in 2007, the township received $650,000 from the county to purchase open space. Specifically, the township purchased property from Ciba-Geigy and gave the county an easement on that property. The township also agreed to donate lots in Pine Lake Park that bordered that Ciba-Geigy property, but that never happened.
“…The Supervising Planner of Ocean County contacted us recently, since we were currently working with them on donating property for the [Ocean County] Park, and asked to resurrect that agreement. The numerous lots…border on the east side of Pine Lake park and are all wetlands and unbuildable,” Markulic said in an email to The Manchester Times. “They will be deed restricted as Open Space and listed on the Recreational and Open Space Inventory overseen by Green Acres through the DEP.” The park that she mentioned will be on land along routes 571 and 547 that borders Jackson. The county plans to build its 28th park on 120 developable acres there. The Natural Lands Trust program is dedicated to protecting open space in Ocean County. The fund was approved by Ocean County voters in 1997, and established a 1.2-cent tax to fund land acquisitions. The program generates about $8 million per year. A nine-member advisory committee, established in 1998, nominates properties for the Freeholders to consider. The county both purchases land and accepts donations of land. Freeholder director Gerry Little has said that in a county that’s 408,000 acres, about 60 percent of it is permanently protected against development through Pinelands, state parks and 21,000 acres preserved through the natural lands and farmlands programs.

Howell Students Compete in District Oratorical Competition
HOWELL – Eliana Mandelberg and Chukwudubem Echezona, students at Howell Middle School North, had the honor of competing in Optimist International’s District Oratorical Competition held at the Inn at Reading in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Earlier this year, local Optimist International chapters across the nation and around the world tasked middle school and high school students with writing and delivering presentations that answered the question, “Is there a fine line between optimism and reality?” Winners at the local level then advanced to the district competition, where they vied for college scholarships. In February, Mandelberg (first place) and Echezona (second place) outscored dozens of other presenters to earn the honor of representing the Howell Optimist Club at the district level. On April 27, local club champions gathered at The Inn at Reading in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, to present their speeches before a
distinguished crowd of Optimist International members and community leaders. The competition was broken into two sessions. Winners of the morning session advanced to the finalist session in the afternoon. Mandelberg was one of six finalists to compete in the afternoon session. And while neither Mandelberg nor Echezona will be advancing to the regional level, the judges remarked that the winning margin was razor-thin. Both Howell residents are eligible to enter the competition next year. According to their website, Optimist International is a worldwide volunteer organization made up of more than 2,500 local clubs whose members strive to make the future brighter by bringing out the best in children, in their communities, and in themselves. The Howell Optimist Club welcomes new members to support their community-based programs. For information, contact club president John Alliano at howelloptimist@yahoo.com.

Attention All Active, Retired Military and Wounded Warriors
May is Military Appreciation Month and Crossroads Realty is proud to announce that we participate in US Military on the Move, a program offered exclusively by Leading Real Estate Companies of the World. When buying or selling a home, we have a program designed to reward America’s fighting men and women for their service to our country. US Military on the Move is a free real estate rebate and information program that allows you to earn cash back when you buy or sell a home. When you by or sell a home through US Military on the Move, you receive a cash rebate on the actual sales price – not a fixed amount based on a range of values – and you’ll receive your rebate at closing! Crossroads has been assisting veterans and civilians reach their home ownership dreams since 1966. Byron Kotzas, founder of Crossroads Realty, was a veteran of the Air Force, piloting missions from 1942 to 1945 in WWII. He also has been an avid supporter of the ongoing efforts of the USO. Byron was legendary for his philanthropic endeavors with many charities but the USO was very dear to home. We thank you for your service. To find out more about this program, call Tina Orth at 732-674-7913.

9 Ways You Ruin Your Teeth By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
You may unknowingly be hurting your teeth with everyday things, for example drinking kombucha. Enamel is the protective hard coating on the outside of your teeth and when it comes off, tooth erosion occurs and cavities form. Several health articles have come out recently, warning about kombucha and its potentially detrimental effects on teeth. The same enamel damage can be done by eating citrus fruits, drinking fruit juice, drinking coffee, carbonated water or soda. Protect your teeth if you love these drinks: Drink water afterwards to rinse and neutralize all the acid. Find unsweetened brands and don’t sip it all day. Drink your kombucha (or other acidic drink) very quickly. Wait 30 minutes to brush your teeth because your enamel is most vulnerable when it has just been exposed to acidic beverages and brushing it may aggravate the enamel at its weakest moment. So rinse with water immediately after drinking, and then brush your teeth 30 minutes later. These 9 Factors Can Also Ruin Your Teeth: 1. Antihistamines. They have anti-cholinergic side effects which cause dry mouth through the reduction of saliva production. But it’s the saliva that helps control bacterial growth in your mouth and saliva contains compounds that allow for re-mineralization (strengthening) of your teeth. 2. Biting Fingernails. This can crack or splinter enamel, especially if it’s been primed by acidic drinks, and therefore weak to begin with. 3. Brushing Your Teeth Immediately.
Scrubbing your dental enamel right after drinking anything acidic can hurt the enamel. 4. Drinking Coffee or Wine. It stains your teeth and makes you look older. The trouble is that routinely whitening them with peroxide strips isn’t so great either. 5. Osteoporosis Medications. Some of these drugs have been shown to have a detrimental impact on jaw bone, especially in patients who have had their teeth pulled. 6. Fruit drinks and juice boxes. The kids love these things, but again, the fruit juices are very acidic, and full of sugar so it’s a twofold blow upon their developing teeth! 7. Xerostomia. This is the term for dry mouth and low salivary flow, which can be caused by medications as well as some disorders. This can be caused by a multitude of conditions among them, pre-diabetes, diabetes, stroke, thrush, Candida, Alzheimer’s disease, Sjogren’s syndrome or hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone). 8. Snoring or Sleep Apnea. It causes you to sleep with your mouth open and this leads to dry mouth, and this can cause your enamel to suffer from the lack of saliva. 9. Reflux. Your stomach acid is way more corrosive than soda, kombucha, fruit juice and sparkling water! When you have reflux, the stomach acid which has a pH of 2 flows up your esophagus and may get into your mouth and hurt your teeth. It probably goes without saying, but see your dentist routinely and eat a healthy balanced diet. Consider foods that are high in minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium. Vitamin D and CoQ10 are also useful for general dental health.

A necessary but intensive task during your journey to purchase your new home will be providing your mortgage representative with all of the financial records and additional information they may require during the home buying process. Equally, during a re-finance of your existing home many of the same financial records will be required. In either case, the process is started with an application and then moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close. This time period may span from 30 days to several months, depending on the complexity of the loan program. There are several tips to remember which will help achieve a smooth closing. First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards or make large purchases on existing credit cards. Even the smallest of purchases on a new card may lead to a much larger available line of credit. This is important to remember when you are paying for movers or looking to purchase new appliances and/or furniture for your new home. All of these actions can disrupt your income to debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close position. Make sure prior to utilizing any credit that it is discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to avoid delays in obtaining clearance to close your loan. Second, in a situation where you are either re-financing your existing home or purchasing a home that requires repairs prior to closing, make sure all home improvements/ repairs are completed prior to the home appraisal. Nearly all loans require an appraisal. Therefore, in order to avoid any delays with
your closing, make sure you properly plan the Dina M. Vicari Esq. timing of your appraisal. Timing of the appraisal should be discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to ensure that there are no on-going improvements within the property that would require a re-appraisal, which will delay the process and cost an additional fee. Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved-up to bring to the closing table. At the time of closing there are lender costs and third party costs, such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner associations, tax office, municipal utilities and many more, which must be paid at closing. It is important to communicate with your Attorney and mortgage lender to review all of the closing costs that you will be responsible for at the time of closing. The above items may be overwhelming but we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of may 18 - may 24
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep a cool head. The things that are making you angry may ultimately prove to be of no importance. Stay focused on your own life and avoid being overly critical of others. Focus on securing your financial situation in the week ahead. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Carve out your own niche in the world. In the upcoming week you feel your best when you have the freedom to do what pleases you when you feel the urge. Take care of yourself and enjoy your life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): All knowledge is useful. There’s no telling when a valuable bit of information could come in handy so keep your mind open to new experiences. Take the time to listen to the ideas of others in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Good things come to those who wait. Be patient and save your funds until you can afford the best quality when it comes to something you really need. Small sacrifices could help balance the budget this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes it’s best to keep comments to yourself. Differing opinions are what make the world interesting so stay open to the views of others. Maintain harmony by trying to see things from someone else’s perspective this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be tactful and sympathetic as this week unfolds. Be considerate of someone’s feelings, pointing out shortcomings could make you seem harsh or overly critical. Just a few kind words could boost someone’s confidence.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Know when it’s best to back down. Resentment may be created if you continuously push someone to disclose information that is too personal. Agree to disagree when it comes to differences of opinion in the week to come. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Never say never. While a current partnership may not go as planned, don’t close the door on working together in the future. Turn a negative situation into a positive learning experience during the upcoming week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Take your time to do the best work you can rather than simply rushing to be finished. Stand on the merit of your own achievements instead of competing with others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s no diploma given for common sense. If you feel that offering your knowledge to someone in the upcoming week could help them, then do it. If you prevent them from making a mistake, they may thank you later. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your time may not feel like your own. You may be so busy with obligations and responsibilities this week that there will be little chance of doing what you enjoy. Write down your best ideas for future reference. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): There’s no shame in taking a breath. Sit back and recharge your batteries to prepare for the long work week ahead. However, there’s no reason why you can’t think about the future and make plans while you relax.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen
A Cooking Lesson From My Mom By Wolfgang Puck If there’s one important cooking lesson I learned from my mother, it’s that you can always do little things to make a recipe you like into something even better. Thinking back to afternoons spent watching her at work in our home kitchen, I can see her always tasting and adjusting seasonings, often quickly improvising based on a seasonal ingredient or simply some sudden inspiration she had. The results, needless to say, were always delicious. It’s her early influence, and the delicious food both she and my grandmother made, that played a big role in my career path to becoming a chef. So, I’m happy to share a new version of a recipe I often ate as a child in my mother’s kitchen; one that often evolved based on available ingredients and my mother’s whim. The recipe is for a traditional Austrian dish called Kaiserschmarren (literally, the Emperor’s shreds or mess). The name describes the fact that, fancy though it looks when it comes out of the oven, this fluffy hybrid of a souffle and a pancake is traditionally torn into rough pieces for serving. I’m sure that my mother loved to serve it to us children not only because it was delicious but also because of its versatility. She could make for dessert or as an economical one-dish supper. In that versatile spirit, I would like to suggest that you prepare Kaiserschmarren for Mother’s Day, as a breakfast or brunch main dish, a light supper or a special dessert. Mother always served Kaiserschmarren with some sort of fresh fruit compote: apples in autumn or winter, for example, or plump berries in springtime or summer. That’s one great example of the way she often improvised. Following my mother’s example, I’ve gone on evolving the Kaiserschmarren recipe she handed down to me. Over the years, I’ve added more eggs to make it even less like a pancake and more like a souffle. The recipe here even differs from a version I shared eight years ago, now containing a slightly higher proportion of egg whites to yolks for even fluffier results (plus a touch of cream of tartar to help stabilize those beaten whites), and a touch of vanilla for more flavor. To make this version extra special, I’ve also decided to feature fresh cherries in the compote instead of the strawberries I often use. Right now, you should be able to find cherries in many farmers’ markets and food stores; if not, you could always switch back to berries. I hope you’ll add this to your own recipe book. My mom would have been pleased to know it! KAISERSCHMARREN WITH FRESH CHERRY COMPOTE Serves 6 to 8 For the Kaiserschmarren: 1/2 cup (125 mL) seedless raisins 6 tablespoons dark rum 2 cups (500 mL) creme fraiche 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) granulated sugar, divided, plus extra for coating
8 large eggs, separated 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Pinch kosher salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, for coating For the cherry compote: 4 cups (1 L) pitted fresh cherries 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly squeezed orange juice 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest 1/4 cup (60 ml) granulated sugar 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Confectioners’ sugar, for serving Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C). Meanwhile, put the raisins and rum in a small bowl and leave the raisins to plump for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain off excess rum, reserving 1 tablespoon of rum. Put the creme fraiche, 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the sugar, the egg yolks, plumped raisins, the 1 tablespoon rum and the vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whisk until blended. Sprinkle in the flour, stir, and set aside. Put the egg whites in a large, clean mixing bowl. Add the cream of tartar and salt. With a hand-held electric mixer on medium speed and clean beaters, beat the whites until thick and foamy. Then, still beating, gradually sprinkle in the remaining 1 cup (250 mL) sugar. Continue beating until soft peaks form when the beaters are lifted out. With a large spoon, drop a generous dollop of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk batter. With a flexible rubber spatula, gently fold the whites into the batter to lighten it. Spoon the remaining meringue over the batter and gently but thoroughly fold it in. With a brush or clean fingers, spread the butter inside a medium-sized ovenproof skillet to coat it evenly. Evenly sprinkle in enough additional granulated sugar to coat the butter, turning the pan for even distribution; then, gently tap out any excess sugar. With the spatula, gently scrape the batter into the prepared skillet and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven until the mixture puffs up and turns golden brown on top, and it feels springy when very gently and quickly touched at its center, 10 to 12 minutes. While the souffle bakes, make the cherry compote: In a nonreactive skillet, stir together the pitted cherries, orange juice and zest, granulated sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Cook over medium-low heat just until heated through and the cherries have begun to give up some of their juices, stirring to help the sugar dissolve and mashing a few of the cherries to help thicken the sauce, about 5 minutes. Keep warm. To serve, divide the compote among 6 to 8 serving plates. With a large serving spoon, scoop up large dollops of the souffle, distributing it evenly on top of the compote. Dust generously with confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately.
