Jackson Council Completes Rova Farms Purchase

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – With the obstacle of a third party gone, the governing body was able to recently close on the purchase of the historic Rova Farms property. A few months ago, Mayor Michael Reina said that a third party had entered the picture of the planned purchase by the township of the Rova Farms property that the township sought to have as open space land. “It is exciting news for Jackson. Not only are

we preserving a historic piece of land that is important to residents but it is an opportunity to preserve open space for this pristine property,” Council President Robert Nixon said following a June 25 council meeting. Township Business Administrator Terence Wall confirmed earlier this month that the cost for the land was $600,000 and that the closing took place. Earlier this year council members first expressed (Rova - See Page 5)

Local Lithuanians Celebrate 10th Annual Festival By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – For a decade now, township Lithuanians and visitors from other communities have been celebrating their heritage on the grounds of the Lakewood Estonian Cultural Center, which despite its name, is located in Jackson on 4 Cross Street and East Veterans Highway. The 10th Annual Lithuanian Festival was once again coordinated by the Central New Jersey chapter of the American-Lithuanian Community Inc. “This event brings many people together for a celebration of our culture,” said Jackson resident Kostas Mastauskas, the president of the organization. He added that the celebration features various representations of the elements. “We have fire, earth, water symbolized here today.” The festival’s celebration included observing Saint Jonas’ Day, also known as Rasos (Dew Holiday), Joninės, Kupolė, Midsummer Day or Saint John’s Day all of which is a midsummer folk festival celebrated in Lithuania. St. Jonas Day/Rasa Day, the dawn day celebration marking the longest day/shortest night of the year is normally held on June 24 and that the celebration, according to attendees, comes from a mix of Christianity and Paganism. It is celebrated in some Pennsylvania communities. Lithuania was one of the last countries in Europe to convert from pagan beliefs to Catholic Christian beliefs. The festival drew several hundred people during the late afternoon into the evening. The event featured many Lithuanian traditions including a native dinner, singing songs and dancing in period attire. For non-Lithuanians it served as an opportunity to learn about the country’s rich history and geography as well as its art and culinary delights. Officially known as the Republic of Lithuania, the country is located in the Baltic region of northern-eastern Europe. Lithuania is bordered by Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and Kaliningrad Oblast to the southwest and as of 2017, had a (Festival - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 population of around 2.8 million people. The capital city of Lithuania is Vilnius which is also the largest city in Lithuania. The nation’s official language, Lithuanian, along with Latvian, is one of only two living languages in the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family. Many present at the festival spoke the language. At the end of World War I, Lithuania’s Act of Independence was signed on Feb. 16, 1918, declaring the founding of the modern Republic of Lithuania. On March 11, 1990, a year prior to the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union, Lithuania became the first Baltic state to declare itself independent, resulting in the restoration of an independent State of Lithuania after 50 years of Soviet occupation. Loreta Mastauskiene and Greta Karakaj, both of Jackson, were among those who wore native costuming. The pair stood at the front arch as attendees entered and had a pitcher of water for a hand cleansing. “The hand cleansing is for before you entered the gate where you leave all your troubles behind and you come in for enjoyment,” Mastauskiene said. The event featured a variety of vendors including the Linos Lithuanian Food stand operated by Lina and Andrius Stanioniene of Toms River. The couple has provided native food to various heritage festivals since 2005. Lina Stanioniene said that among their specialties was ‘rugine duona’ traditionally

known as the centerpiece of Lithuanian cuisine. “We also have smoked cheese and sweet cake. People like it,” Lina Stanioniene said. The couple also served up a dark rye bread which in Lithuania is eaten more often than light wheat breads. “It is baked with no yeast whatsoever and made with sour dough and it takes 24 hours just to prepare the dough,” Andrius Stanioniene said. The main meal included shish kabob, potato pancakes and sour kraut. Irma Smigelskiene of Whiting came to America from Lithuania six years ago. “This is my third or fourth time at this festival. I enjoy meeting people and speaking the language. It is like a small part of Lithuania.” She joked that “I love the potato pancakes. I’m too lazy to make them at home.” Children enjoyed petting animals from the Honkey Tonk Ranch this year including black ducks, goats and rabbits. Jewelry was also offered up for the adults by Rima Jewelry and Jewelry Design by Vitalija. Last year marked the 100th anniversary of Lithuania as a reformed nation which was noted during the festival with a visit by Lithuanian-American Community Inc. national president Siqita Simkuvieni who said the organization “has 52 chapters in the United States.” The grounds featured a variety of flowers that were picked while some were added into headdresses worn by female guests at the event. The flowers were symbolic to the theme of hope and that anything is possible.

Rova:

Continued From Page 1 their enthusiasm about the planned purchase of the property located in the Cassville section of Jackson. They recalled their own memories of the landmark property which featured a tavern that featured entertainment including a visit by Bruce Springsteen and his band on a December night in the 1970s. A contract of sale had begun to circulate but had not been signed before a third-party issue had come about causing a delay in the process. Mayor Reina had said that employing eminent domain to secure the land and save it from any potential development would be considered if necessary. The vacant property is now environmentally constrained and a large portion of the parcel is in a recreational open space zone. Nixon previously stated that Rova Farms has a rich history in Jackson that dates back to the early 20th century and involved early Russian immigrants who purchased around 1,400 acres of it in the early

The Jackson Times, June 29, 2019, Page 5 1930s for $50,000. “There is a tremendous amount of history there, I am happy to see the purchase go forward,” Councilman Alexander Sauickie said of the 34-plus acre property. He noted that originally, thousands of Russian immigrants raised the money for its purchase. Nixon said that he received a complimentary letter from a priest from St. Vladimir Church which is one of the township’s two Russian Orthodox churches. Nixon said the church had thanked the township for the way it was handling the purchase of the property which borders its own property. Mayor Reina and Nixon stated that the tavern site had been condemned and would be razed. Reina had noted that the wooded area which also includes access to a waterfront area would allow for recreational use by residents. “We have a lot of work to do. We will be taking down the building on the property and taking a look at the long range facilities plan seeing where it will have open fields or parks and patio settings,” Nixon said.

Menendez Honors Ocean County Students Appointed to US Military Service Academies Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

NEWARK - U.S. Senator Bob Menendez has recog-

nized 19 bright, young New Jerseyans who were all

accepted this year into the four U.S. military service academies. Of those 18 students included two students from Ocean County. The nominees were joined by their family, friends, and the academy screener s who recom mended them for appointment. A reception was held in the

senator’s Newark office. “These academies accept on ly the best and brightest of this generation and transform them into the future leaders of the armed forces that protect and preserve our nation and its freedoms,” Sen. Menendez said. “I am so fortunate to have met these

extraordinary young New Jerseyans, and I commend their willingness to serve our country. They represent the best of New Jersey and will demonstrate that in their future endeavors. I wish them luck as they embark on this new adventure.” Sen. Menendez’s nomi-

nees for the service academ ies were chosen for their excellent academic records, leadership potential and strong character, among other criteria: • Christopher Quinn: Toms River, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy • James Cuber: Manchester, U.S. Military Academy

Endangered Species Use Jersey Shore As Safe Haven

—Photos courtesy of Nina Colagiovanni By Kimberly Bosco POINT PLEASANT BEACH – A few endangered species are making a home for themselves on the Jersey Shore, with the help of Jenkinson’s Aquarium and the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife and Conserve Wildlife Foundation. In Point Pleasant Beach, just north of Jenkinson’s, a group of Least Terns, Black Skimmers, and American Oystercatchers are staking their claim on a small area of the beach, now monitored by the Fish and Wildlife Foundation. It was discovered back in May that a pair of American Oystercatchers, a species of special

concern here in New Jersey, nested on the beach and laid three eggs. The pair later welcomed three chicks to the world. According to Jenkinson’s, the parents and hatchlings are doing well and the chicks should be spreading their wings soon enough. Following the American Oystercatchers, a colony of the endangered species Least Terns started nesting in the same area provided by NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife. A much larger group, more than 80 pairs, of terns has built nests, laid eggs, and is welcoming chicks. Another endangered species, Black Skimmers,

followed suit by nesting in the spot. Officials expect they will soon lay three to six chicken-sized eggs. Black Skimmers are about the size of a crow, and are easily identified by their long black-tipped red bill. They are known to nest near Least Terns as they rely on their aggressive behavior for added protection. The area in which these species reside has been roped off by officials from the Fish and Wildlife Foundation. In an effort to preserve these species and protect their habitat, officials ask beachgoers to: • Stay out of these areas - the birds are easily

disturbed by our activities on the beach

• Leave dogs at home - dogs are not allowed on

the beach here and if unattended could chase and even kill the nesting birds • Give the birds some space - enjoy beach activities away from the fenced in area • Take your trash with you - always a good rule to follow, but especially critical when predator species could be drawn to the area by trash that has been left behind. For more information about these species, visit conservewildlifenj.org and njfishandwildlife. com.

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. 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 ga-

rage. “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.

Receiver-In-The-Canal (RIC) Hearing Instruments: Nine Reasons Slim Is In

Over the past five years, most major hearing aid manufacturers have created an entirely new class of svelte hearing aids called “receiver-in-the-canal” (RIC) products. These instruments are virtually unnoticeable when worn. They are unique because of a very smart engineering design with remarkable results: The separation of the receiver from the rest of the hearing aid. The ultra-slim computer processor is worn hidden in the hairline just behind the ear. The receiver rests in the ear canal secured by a vented, silicone tip. A hair-thin transmission wire (not a tube) connects the two. The popularity of RIC instruments have spread quickly by word of mouth among baby boomers who are in turn telling their friends. In general, there are nine reasons why slim is in: more efficient, size and technology, comfort, natural sound, reduced feedback, repair ability, re-program ability, cosmetics and fit–and–go. RIC products are more efficient because their receiver is already near your ear drum and because of this, less power is needed. In terms of size and technology, RIC

products allow for better sound processing utilizing adaptive directional microphones, noise reduction and feedback cancellation. Some models even offer FM or Bluetooth compatibility for listening to TV wirelessly and remote control so that the wearer can discreetly adjust the volume or switch the listening program. In terms of comfort, the fit and feel of a RIC product allows most patients to forget that they are even wearing them. These instruments are designed not to plug up your ear and to provide a more natural sound quality with speech and your own voice. Because there is a separation between the microphone and the receiver, feedback is virtually eliminated. Should the receiver need repair, this modular component can be quickly replaced by your audiologist, usually while you wait. That means less time without wearing your hearing instrument. RIC instruments are flexible and adapt to changes in hearing loss, thus, they can be reprogrammed. Cosmetically, RICs are slim, light and beautiful. RIC instruments can usually be selected, fit, programmed and worn home the same day (fit and go) for instant hearing improvement.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Metformin’s Pros and Cons By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Introduced in 1995 when I was just 30 years old, metformin quickly gained traction in the medical arena as the drug of choice to use in diabetes. Prior to its introduction in the United States, it had been used in France since 1957. It is sold globally by various different brand names, and in combination with other glucose-lowering agents. Metformin has some interesting uses, as well as cautions. There are an estimated 100 million people with diabetes in our country. For natural remedies, please refer to my book, Diabetes Without Drugs, which is sold on Amazon and book stores nationwide. Today, I’d like to share the pros and cons of the most popular diabetic medication in the world: Cons 1. Causes Vitamin B12 Deficiency. It is a strong drug mugger of vitamin B12, and the longer you take it, the more profound the deficiency. If you take metformin, the obvious solution is to supplement with B12 and a high-quality probiotic since probiotics happen to manufacture B12. Methylcobalamin is my suggestion, because it’s methylated and therefore, body-ready. It’s available everywhere nowadays. FYI, hair loss, poor memory recall, confusion, anemia and neuropathy are signs of B12 deficiency. 2. Questionable Prostate Benefits. The results from a brand new study on prostate cancer were disappointing. It was expected that there would be some add-on benefits, but the results showed no significant clinical benefits when metformin was given along with chemotherapy. Previous results have suggested that metformin could be useful in this regard.

3. Uncomfortable Side Effects. Metformin has side effects such as occasional heartburn, indigestion, bloating and gas, weight loss, diarrhea/constipation, weird taste in the mouth and pancreatitis. 4. May Harm Kidneys. Severe lactic acidosis is a rare but very dangerous complication of metformin, and drugs in the same category. It occurs particularly in people with kidney compromise and/or failure. Pros 1. Raises Serotonin. New research published in the June 3rd edition of The Journal of Neuroscience has concluded that metformin improves mood and reduces anxiety. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter associated with happiness, self confidence, satiety and social interaction. Deficiencies of serotonin are often exhibited as OCD, depression and anxiety. 2. Helps PCOS. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome which is characterized by weight gain, insulin resistance, cravings and skin discoloration. Metformin isn’t labeled for this disorder, however we know it works. 3. Manages Cholesterol. Metformin may help reduce total cholesterol and low density cholesterol (LDL) as well as blood pressure. Metformin may also reduce triglycerides according to some research. 4. Some Tumors Retreat. Metformin may suppress growth and improve immune function. It works by lowering blood sugar, which then improves cell receptor sensitivity (and number), which in turn controls the amount of blood sugar floating around in the blood stream. This is good because tumors and pathogens (ie fungi, viruses and bacteria) all feed on glucose, so if the sugar gets pushed into the cell then there’s less fuel to feed the pathogens and growing cells that went rogue.

Inside The Law Who is Josh Haines?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Josh Haines was injured in a car crash. His medical treatment left him with more than $25,000 in unpaid medical bills. He sued the person who caused the crash for the cost of his medical treatment. In March 2019, the NJ Supreme Court decided his case. The court ruled that car accident victims have to pay their own medical bills, even if they didn’t cause the accident. The Court ruled that ANY person whose auto policy has less than the “standard” medical benefits limit has to pay for their medical treatment up to $250,000. The court’s ruling has a devastating impact on low-income people who cannot afford to buy auto policies with higher coverage limits. If you are involved in an auto accident, you could be stuck with thousands of dollars in medical expenses, leading to credit problems, bankruptcy, or worse. The insurance industry is thrilled about this decision. And don’t think you are safe if you have health insurance. If your private health insurer pays your medical bills and you obtain a recovery for your injuries then there is a substantial likelihood that you will have to reimburse your health

insurer with the monies you received from your award or settlement. Too often this reimbursement Michael J. Deem scheme leaves the victim with nothing. The NJ Assembly and Senate have passed a bill to fix the Haines decision. It is on Gov. Murphy’s desk. All he has to do is sign it. PLEASE HELP. Call Governor Murphy now at 609-292-6000. CALL GOV. MURPHY Tell the representative who answers the telephone: I AM CALLING TO URGE GOVERNOR MURPHY TO SIGN THE BILL TO FIX HAINES http://starledger.nj.newsmemory.com/ ?publink=087cad7f9 www.whoisjoshhaines.com.

CentraState’s Medical Explorers Program Selected As NJ State Governor’s Jefferson Award Honoree

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP— CentraState Healthcare System is proud to announce that its community outreach student Medical Explorers Program has recently been selected as a 2019 New Jersey State Governor’s JeffersonAward Honoree in the Volunteer Program/Group category. Each year, the New Jersey State Governor’s Jefferson Awards highlight the spirit of civic engagement among New Jersey’s 1.8 million volunteers and provide medals in 22 categories of volunteer service. CentraState’s Medical Explorers Program, offered in partnership with the Boys Scouts of America, is a co-ed program that gives high school students between ages 14 and 20 the opportunity to explore a variety of careers in the health care field through interactive learning with medical professionals, hands-on workshops and activities, and hospital tours. The Program has made a difference in 341 young lives since its inception in 2015. The Medical Explorers Program’s 58 staff and community partner volunteers were designated as a Jefferson Award Honoree for their work in the youth program, demonstrating unique vision and dedication, and serving as inspiration for others. “We are delighted to be lauded for our work with the youth in our communities and helping them to learn about the various roles in health care,” says

Maryellen Dykeman, manager, CommunityWellness, CentraState Healthcare System. “It’s rewarding to see them take such interest in a field where you help others and determine if a career in the medical field may be in their future.” Jefferson Award Honorees, including CentraState’s Medical Explorers Program committee chairpersons Maryellen Dykeman, Nanette Spedden, and Barbara Yuhas, were recognized at a local ceremony on May 19 at the War Memorial/Patriot Theater in Trenton, NJ, and received a Jefferson Award lapel pin and certificate of recognition. The New Jersey State Governor’s Jefferson Award is a joint program administered by the Community Foundation of New Jersey, The Star-Ledger Powering NJ.com, and The Governor’s Advisory Council on Volunteerism, with support from corporate underwriters. The Jefferson Awards is a national volunteer recognition program established in 1972 by theAmerican Institute for Public Service in cooperation with the US Senate and the White House. The Jefferson Awards are considered America’s highest honor for public service and volunteerism.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 29 - july 5 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put your taste to the test. Be selective when making decisions as you could live with your choice for some time to come. Use utmost tact in the upcoming week if you have to point out necessary changes to someone. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): It may be easier to go around obstacles rather than over them. If your current methods are yielding little progress, you could try something new this week. Don’t make assumptions until you know the facts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gravitate toward your strengths. Trying to use a skill set that you are not familiar with could lead nowhere in the upcoming week, so stick to your personal areas of expertise. Willpower can’t work instant miracles - give it time. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Reports of the sky falling may be greatly exaggerated. Make sure that the info you are receiving is based upon facts and not mere speculation. Your ideas may be welcomed at the workplace in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Goalposts tend to shift over time. Methods that may have worked for you in the past may now be outdated, so you’ll need to adapt. Find ways to tap into the pulse of cutting-edge ideas and technology during this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can’t put a label on everything. Making snap judgments about people may be close to the mark sometimes, but you’re still missing out on a lot unless you get to really know them. Keep an open mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): What doesn’t

kill you makes you stronger. There may be some positives to gain from an unpleasant situation which could help you in the future - rust there will be a silver lining. Accept things as they are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Life is ever-evolving. You may need to understand that something you thought would last forever is gradually changing over time. Don’t fear the unknown this week but, instead, adapt to what is beyond your control. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Doubt erodes confidence - resolving that you will succeed will boost your optimism. You can question methods and techniques but never question your right to shine. Conflicts could arise with those who hold differing beliefs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Say what you mean; you can be clear and still be kind. Trying to remain noncommittal could create unnecessary confusion. Stand by your convictions but avoid confrontations or conflicts in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Weigh the pros and cons. In the week ahead take your time when pressed to make a difficult decision; the right answer may require careful deliberation. As the uncertainty clears, you’ll clearly know what to do. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): One thing at a time - one breath at a time. Don’t let a wave of adversity overwhelm you; deal with each situation as it arises and try to keep your emotions level. Changes in plans in the week ahead shouldn’t derail your objectives.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Summer Fun! How To Turn Cheeseburger Ingredients Into Pizza By Wolfgang Puck CHEESEBURGER PIZZA Makes 4 pizzas, each about 8 inches (20 cm) 4 6-ounce (185 g) balls Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows) or 4 8-to-10-inch premade rolled-out pizza dough rounds 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion 1 pound (500 g) good-quality ground beef Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 tablespoons tomato ketchup 4 tablespoons yellow ballpark-style mustard, or 4 more tablespoons tomato ketchup 8 thin lengthwise slices dill pickle or 24 dill pickle chips, drained 8 slices American cheese Place a pizza stone on the oven’s middle rack. Preheat the oven to 500 F (260 C). Meanwhile, on a lightly floured work surface, stretch out the dough balls into even 8-inch (20-cm) circles, shaping the edges slightly thicker. In a large nonstick saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.Add the onion and saute, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until it begins to turn translucent. Add the ground beef, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Saute, stirring continuously and breaking up the meat with the wooden spoon, until evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a wire skimmer or slotted spoon to help leave any fat in the pan, remove the beef from the pan, spreading it out evenly on a large sheet of aluminum foil or on a cookie sheet to help it cool quickly. While the meat is cooling, combine the ketchup and mustard in a small mixing bowl, stirring well; if you don’t want mustard, use twice as much ketchup. Spread this sauce over the top of the pizza dough

rounds, up to but not over the thicker edge. Evenly spread the cooled beef over the sauce. Distribute the pickle slices on top. Place one American cheese slice in the center of each pizza. Cut or tear each of the remaining slices into quarters and distributed them around the center cheese sliced on each pizza. Using a pizza paddle or rimless baking sheet, transfer the pizzas one at a time to the pizza stone, baking only as many at one time as will fit comfortably onto the stone. Bake until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Then, using the paddle or baking sheet, remove from the oven to a cutting board, cut into slices, and serve, while baking any remaining pizzas. WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 4 balls, each 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1 cup (250 mL) warm water, 105 F to 115 F (40 C to 46 C) 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 mL) warm water. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and remaining water; process until a ball forms. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand until smooth and firm, about 3 minutes. Cover with a clean, damp towel and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. Divide into 4 equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under. Repeat four or five times. On a smooth, unfloured surface, roll under your palm until smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. The balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to two days.
