Around 170 walkers took part in the fundraising effort which began at the Laurita Winery on Archertown Road. By Bob Vosseller PLUMSTED – What has become an annual spring event in New Egypt returned on May 11 with supporters advancing the pace of

Jackson Memorial Bands Win Big At International Festival By Kimberly Bosco JACKSON – While many students returned back to school from spring break with a tan, members of the Jackson Memorial High School Symphonic and Marching Bands did them one
better. The symphonic and marching bands came home with six awards from the Virginia International Music Festival, including the Grand Champion of NATO Parade of Nations. The bands competed in
the international festival held in Norfolk, Virginia on April 26 and 27 where they earned the Grand Champion title for best band overall. The festival hosts international, military and musical events, from middle school and
Ocean County Has New Royalty: Two New Honeybee Queens Join Park By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Long live Queen Agatha and Queen Ursula. Those are the two queens of honeybee hives that were set up the first week in May. The two hives are by the Cooper Environmental Center, on the opposite side from the butterfly garden. Some bird feeders are next to them, providing raccoons or whatever wanders nearby an easy bite to eat so they won’t be tempted to steal honey, recreation aide Zach Keczkemethy said. They were shipped to the park 1,000 or so bees in one box. The queen is separate from the hive. She comes in a delivery in a cell closed off by sugar candy. The bees eat through the candy to free her. “The common wisdom is to give them time to settle in,” Keczkemethy said. Then check on them to see how they are getting along. The two hives can co-exist, and won’t compete for resources, he said, despite being neighbors. This is not the first time Cattus has played host to a hive. Last year, their queen died and the hive failed, he said. The park holds educational programs throughout the year (which can be found at OceanCountyParks.org) and the hive provides another learning opportunity – to show people how important the insects are to the natural world. According to the Earth Day Network, one-third of the country’s food depends on pollination from honey bees and other insects. The number of hives has in America decreased from 6 million in the 1940s to about 2.5 million today. The United States Department of Agriculture released a study showing there was a 9 percent decline in colonies of five or fewer hives from Jan. 1, 2016 to Jan. 1, 2017. During the same period, there was a drop of about 10,000 colonies of more than five hives. Information like this has made it out to the general public. Keczkemethy said hobby beekeeping and people making their yards more

On April 27, the bands marched in the 66th Annual Norfolk NATO Parade of Nations. This is the only parade honoring NATO in the United States. All 29 NATO countries are represented with floats. Jackson students were among 21 high school marching bands and international military bands, as well as military drill teams and dignitaries that marched. “The honor of marching in such a respected parade alongside military personnel, who themselves are musicians, was a unique experience. To heighten the moment, it was a competitive parade with judges grading the band’s performance in many aspects,” stated district officials. The Jackson Memorial Marching Band won for Best Percussion, Best Music, Best Drum Majors, First Place High School Marching Band and the prestigious Grand Champion of NATO Parade of Nations. “This being my senior year, Norfolk was an amazing opportunity to spend a bit more time with my band family and end my journey as a jaguar band member with a bang. I couldn’t be more thankful for or proud of all the amazing people involved in this organization,” stated Julia Graff, Drum Major. Not only did the band members have an exciting time performing alongside international musicians from all over, they also took some time to have a little fun at Busch Gardens, the Nauticus Museum, which featured the USS Wisconsin Battleship, and the Virginia International Tattoo Salute to Women in the Military.

Walk:
Continued From Page 1 public charity is dedicated to helping brain tumor patients through emotional and financial support, education, advocacy and raising money for brain tumor research. Township resident Bruce Blount organized the New Egypt based event. “This was my eighth walk so far, and we have netted over $19,000.” Blount said that the total from all eight walks was over $116,000. “Six walks were held in New Egypt itself, starting and ending at the athletic field. The walk was moved in 2018 because of possible construction along the pathway. Laurita Winery agreed to let me have the walk there - where I will stay. I have gotten many favorable comments about this venue. “Several like-minded people from various locations across the country host walks. All forward earnings to the ‘Virtualtrials’ organization. Greater money means greater buying power. There, board physicians decide which brain tumor projects should be funded,” Blount said. He added that “all money earned goes to brain tumor research - operating costs for the walks are donated by sponsors.” Blount’s motivation to help others came out of his own medical history. The decorated Air Force veteran was on active duty when he was diagnosed having a rare brain tumor. “It was called an ependymoma. Only three to six percent of brain tumors are ependymomas. Mine is so rare that I actually had to teach my general practitioner about it,” Blount said. “I am a 24-year survivor. After my initial surgery, I have not had a recurrence.” Musella is a podiatrist in private practice and worked his way through school as a computer programmer for medical research projects. His interest in brain tumors began in 1992 when his sister-in-law, Lana, was diagnosed with a glioblastoma
multiforme (GBM) which is a malignant brain tumor that occurs most frequently in middle-aged and older adults. It is a type of glioma, which means it originates in the glial (connective) cells of the brain. Musella was told it was hopeless. Following her surgery and radiation, the tumor grew larger. She was told she only had a few weeks left to live and there were no options left beyond standard brain tumor treatment. There was no internet as we know it today at that time and Musella was an active member of Compuserve, and Compuserve had a cancer forum, with sections devoted to the top 10 cancers which did not include a brain tumor section. Musella created and ran the Brain Tumor Forum on Compuserve in January 1993 and organized the members and had them help survey every major hospital in the country to find what treatments were available. That list was posted on Compuserve and became the basis for the first internet database of clinical trials which at that time, only maintained lists of clinical trials that they funded, not the trials sponsored by the drug companies or the individual doctors or hospitals. “She did very well for a while, getting to see her four children grow up. Sadly, she died of a recurrence on Oct. 25, 2000. She lived over eight years after being told she only had a few weeks left,” Musella said. Musella noted that “Lana spent many of those years in good health and she spent time taking care of her children, working and embracing life.” Tragically, Musella’s father was diagnosed with a GBM in 1999, a year after he formed the Musella Foundation. His father died three months after his diagnosis. Blount facilitates two brain tumor support groups. “Honestly prognosis is usually dismal. I have experienced over 100 group members die. There is no known cause, and no cure. I find all of this unacceptable.”

May Is Older Americans Month; Let’s Celebrate Our Seniors
Freeholder Forum by Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari Ocean County is home to 173,000 older Americans who enrich our communities through their diverse life experiences. So many seniors living in the county have brought with them expertise and skills that they are happy to share with the rest of us. While seniors provide so much to the quality of life here, we are committed to
strengthening our community by connecting with and supporting older adults, their families, and caregivers and acknowledging their many valuable contributions to society. Ocean County recognizes the importance of bringing together all generations and engaging in activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being
for the benefit of all. Ocean County enhances the lives of older Americans and all of their caregivers, from family members to community assistance and agencies by: • Promoting home and community based services that support independent living • Involving older adults in community events and other activities • Providing opportunities for older adults to work, volunteer, learn, lead, and mentor A robust county library system, a county park system second to none, Ocean County College, Ocean
County Vocational-Technical Schools, are just a few of the county programs seniors can access for leisure and recreational activities or to hone their skills in specific areas. On May 14, I joined with many of our senior providers to mark the grand opening of a new senior nutrition site and our home delivered meals production kitchen all conveniently located at the Southern Ocean County Service Center in Manahawkin. Ocean County provides more than 1,100 home-delivered meals a day to seniors, allowing them to maintain their independence and dignity. This program also
serves as a lifeline for the homebound. With each meal delivered comes a wellness check, someone to talk to, someone who can determine if all is ok in the absence of a family member or full-time caregiver. We are an aging nation. According to the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging, every day, 10,000 baby boomers turn age 65, or nearly 10 million over the next three years. By 2030, 73 million - or one in five - people in America will be age 65 or older. By 2035, all communities must be prepared to address these realities when, for the first time in our nation’s history,
the population of adults age 60 and older will outnumber people younger than 20. Ocean County through its Office of Senior Services and other affiliated agencies makes every effort to provide the best services and programs for our seniors. Whether you are someone new to retirement or someone that is approaching 100, while your needs differ, we recognize the importance of being able to access assistance when needed. The steps we take today will serve as the foundation for how our seniors are treated in the years to come and the quality of life they will enjoy in their golden years.
Law Would Require Methadone Testing For Commercial Drivers From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) introduced legislation to require drug testing for methadone for commercial drivers. “Despite clear evidence and existing law - showing that those using the painkiller methadone should not drive or operate heavy machinery, the DOT does not require testing commercial licensed drivers for the drug,” Smith said. “This omission can allow for these vital tests to miss what is a serious impairment for drivers and a threat on our roadways.” “My legislation would require this testing for meth-
adone, to more effectively prevent threats of deadly car and truck crashes in the name of public safety.” Smith’s bill is supported by the group Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). “MADD commends Rep. Chris Smith for his leadership on the issue of drugged driving and truck safety,” said MADD National President Helen Witty. “We know that dr ugs are an emerging issue and this legislation seeks to protect our roadways from this danger.” Heidi Bennett, a constituent of Smith’s for whom the bill is named, was a victim killed in a car accident on March 31, 2014 in Freehold
when a commercial truck driver - operating the truck while on Xanax and methadone - slammed into the back of her car. “My family and I would like to thank Congressman Chris Smith and his staff for submitting this bill,” said Paul Bennett, husband of Heidi Bennett. “This bill is being introduced as ‘Heidi’s Law.’ My late wife, mother to my two daughters, sister, aunt, friend and nurse to so many people was a special person. She is remembered as a person who always cared and helped everyone. She was killed by someone who was only thinking of himself. This bill would allow her to help and protect so many others - again and always.” The use of methadone is banned by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration of the Department of Transportation for any holders of commercial driver’s licenses, because

of its side effects. The HHS, however, does not list methadone on its five-panel drug test as part of its Mandatory Guidelines on drug testing, which is used by the DOT. The HHS five-panel test currently lists marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and Phencyclidine/
PCP, and Smith’s bill would require that methadone be added to the “opiate” category. Once methadone is added to the list, the DOT and transportation companies would have to test for it. “Heidi’s tragic death could have been prevented had a drug test for methadone

been in place to keep the truck driver off the road,” Smith said. “We have to close this loophole make sure our tests are in line with our laws - laws that are designed to save lives, and protect families from tragedies like that of Heidi Bennett.”

Support Team Hailey At NJ Sharing Network Walk
JACKSON – On May 19, Jackson PBA 168 will be supporting the NJ Sharing Network Walk in Long Branch, NJ. Specifically, we will be supporting “TEAM HAILEY” at this event. Hailey Palumbo was a young and vibrant girl from Jackson. Hailey attended Jackson Memorial High School and was very involved in the community. Almost two years ago, Hailey was taken from us as died as a result of a car accident here in town. Her family, in keeping with Hailey’s caring and giving nature in always helping others, donated Hailey’s organs
and as a result, saved many lives. Team Hailey marked their first walk with the New Jersey Sharing Network last year, with the largest team ever put together for the first year. We also were the top donation group. We hope with your support and donations we can exceed last year’s goals. You can sign up on njsharingnetwork.org and search TEAM HAILEY to either join or donate to those who have already joined. Please help us support TEAM HAILEY by donating to this life saving organization.

Phone Scams On The Rise Again
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER — Have you received a call from someone claiming to be from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department recently? The Ocean County Sheriff’s Department is warning residents against scam callers on the rise once again, advising all to be wary of callers requesting money. A May 8 post from the department stated: “We are letting the public know that there once again is a large increase in phone scams. We urge you not to agree on any solicitations over the phone and report any illegal activity to your local law enforcement. Any concerns can be addressed to our office at 732 929 2044 or 732 349 2010.” Not only are these scam callers soliciting money, but they are also claiming to be calling from the Sheriff’s Office. “Anyone that receives a phone call from a Lieutenant Alexander, he does not work for our office and do not accept any offers over the phone,” stated the department. A similar scam call incident occurred back
in January 2019 where the scam callers were requesting residents pay fines for missing jury duty. This scam yielded over $250,000 from victims. To avoid becoming a victim of a scam call: • Don’t answer calls from numbers you don’t recognize. • Don’t call back numbers you don’t recognize. • Don’t confirm any personal information over the phone. • Don’t return calls that claim to be from the IRS, the Social Security Administration, your bank or a local police or sheriff’s department. If you are worried, look up the phone number for the agency. Do not call back a number left on voicemail. Be wary about anyone calling on the phone about any emergency involving a family member or friend. Get a phone number to call back, then verify the whereabouts and safety of the person the call is about. • Change your voicemail message to withhold your name or other personal information.

“Great show this morning...great conversation.” - Adrienne, Red Bank
Did you know your ears NEVER stop hearing? During sleep, your brain simply ignores incoming sounds. Here are four more facts to show just how intriguing the world of hearing can be. Some people have SUPER HEARING — sort of. True super hearing would make you miserable: Loud sounds would be even louder, and you could hear all the noises in your neighbors’ houses at once. But some people are sensitive to certain aspects of hear ing: Some hear ver y quiet sounds, others very high pitches, and some can tell whether sound arrives at each ear at a different time. The WAX MOTH has the best hearing of any animal (including humans). Galleria mellonella, also known as the wax moth, can hear frequencies up to 300 kHz. For comparison, bats — the wax moth’s main predators — can hear their own sonar at 212 kHz, a dog can hear 45 kHz, and a human with unusually good hearing can hear 20 kHz. Tinnitus can be MUSICAL. Some people experience what’s called musi-
cal ear syndrome (MES). As with tinnitus, it’s a sound perception with no external source. But unlike the simple sounds of tinnitus, such as ringing or buzzing, MES can include perception of entire songs, such as “Silent Night” or Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries.” In fact, a common name for MES is musical tinnitus. The longest anyone has endured the quietest place on Earth is 55 MINUTES. The anechoic (echo-free) chamber at Microsoft in Redmond, Wash., is the quietest place on earth. Any sound waves that hit the walls, f loor, or ceiling are instantly absorbed. For a human sitting in it alone, the chamber is unsettling — you can hear noises that happen inside your body. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center has been providing hearing care ser vices for almost 30 years. They can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-9788946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www. gardenstatehearing.com

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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Helpful Tips To Ensure Your Mortgage Application Is Approved
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Dina M. Vicari Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
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.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The carbon monoxide detector isn’t blaring from a malfunction. Ocean County Health Department officials are urging residents to take those alarms seriously. It could save a life.
Learn To Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
When a CO alarm sounds off, leave the home immediately and call for help. “It’s called the silent killer because carbon monoxide is a gas that gives no warning you can’t see it, taste it or smell it. Never gamble with your family’s health and safety
by assuming it just may be the batteries or some other unknown reason that triggered the device,” Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health said. Heating and cooking appliances, tools,
vehicles, and other household devices can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, leading to more than 400 deaths each year in the United States. Residents should have CO detectors on every level in their homes and near every sleeping area. Batteries should be replaced twice a year for daylights savings. Suspected malfunctioning batteries should be replaced immediately. “During cold and inf luenza season, symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can easily be confused with symptoms of viral illness like the common cold or flu. If symptoms come on shortly after turning on a device in a certain room and go away after leaving the area or more than one person gets sick at the same time, then these are clues to help identify CO poisoning,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, said. Prevention is also key. • Keep all heating and dryer vents clear of snow, leaves and other debris. • Keep open flues when using a fireplace. Have chimneys inspected for blockage. • Don’t use the stove to heat the home/ apartment. • Generators are for outdoor use only. Keep them at least 20 feet from buildings, doors and windows. • Keep generators, pressure washers, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal-burning devices out of the house (including a basement, garage, carport, camper, boat cabin, or tent) and away from open windows and doors. • Do not idle vehicles in a closed garage. “If someone is unresponsive or unconscious and you suspect them being exposed to CO poisoning, get them out of the house and call 9-1-1 without delay. Trying to open windows is only a waste of time and will only cause you to breathe in more of the dangerous fumes. However, it’s ok to leave the door open after you exit so fresh air can seep in,” Regenye said. For more information on CO poisoning, visit the poison center at njpies.org.
Recycling Center Update PLUMSTED – Residents be advised that the Recycling Center at 2 Cedar Street is unable to accept used motor oil until further notice. The center will continue to accept electronics, metal/ light iron/white goods and batteries on Wednesdays 1-5 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m.-12 p.m.

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.
