By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – A recent Manchester graduate was honored at the Sept. 18 Board of Education meeting for the completion of his community service project. Meletios Lendis, now a freshman at Ocean County College, was recognized by the Board for earning the rank of Eagle Scout with his project to build a brick enclosure around the dumpster at St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church, located on Church Road in Toms River. “All in all it took about a year and a half,” and about $2,500 in funds, said Lendis. A lot of work went into the project, beginning with cleaning up the existing area. Some of this work including cleaning, weeding, and power washing. Lendis noted that he received a lot of help from Carl’s Fencing, a local Toms River business. Lendis took it upon himself to speak with and recruit local businesses and volunteers to help out with the project. It all began when Lendis heard from church-goers that the area was in desperate need of repair. “It was a really unsightly area and the church had expressed to me,” that it needed mending, said Lendis. “It was a great project,” he added.

Environmentalists Blast Governor’s Energy Plan By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Environmental advocates were vocal with their displeasure of Gov. Phil Murphy’s master plan for New Jersey’s energy future, during a rally held on the grounds of the Toms River’s municipal building. Advocates and several lawmakers have said in recent weeks that the plan doesn’t go far enough to sever the state from projects promoting fossil fuels that have been linked (Plan - See Page 5)

seem wildly unlikely, yet we still buy lottery tickets and we still seek shelter from a harsh storm. As a female, the odds of being diag nosed with ovarian cancer are a strikingly low one in 78. But does every woman take similar precautions to beat those odds? Does every woman get tested?
The Silent Killer September is widely recognized as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to shed light on the “silent killer” that is ovarian cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female
reproductive system. O va r ia n ca nc e r ranks in the top 10 cancers by rates of new cases, and in the top four by rates of cancer deaths, which means that “for every 100,000 women, 10 new Ovarian Cancer cases were reported and 7 died of cancer,” (Odds - See Page 4)

according to CDC data. The National Women’s Health Network calls ovarian cancer the “silent killer,” due to its non-specific symptoms and lack of early detection tests. This makes it hard to detect at the earlier stages, i.e. stage I or II. The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) states that “when one is diagnosed and treated in the earliest stages, the fiveyear survival rate is over 90 percent…If caught in stage III or higher, the survival rate can be as low as 28 percent.” The NOCC added that, due to the nature of the disease, it is nearly impossible to provide a generalized prognosis for any and all women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Strong-Minded Survivors With such odds, you might already know or have met someone who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Perhaps you know of a survivor, one like Stephanie LeBrocq. LeBrocq, 52, of Toms River was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in December 2018. About eight months later, she spoke with Jersey Shore Online about her disease, recovery, and hope for the future. As the NOCC stated, those diagnosed in the later stages have a slim chance of survival. Diagnosed at stage III, LeBrocq was determined to beat the odds. In April 2018, LeBrocq visited her doctor after experiencing severe pelvic pain. Pelvic pain is one of the many “non-specific” symptoms associated with ovarian The General’s
Her doctor prescribed six rounds of chemotherapy which she dove into in January 2019. “One thing that helped me a lot was that Dr. ElSahwi kept telling me that I was going to be okay,” said LeBrocq. Between January and May, LeBrocq underwent chemo, which she said was extremely hard for her. Despite the pain, she worked hard to keep a positive outlook. “It literally felt like you could feel it going through your body…I don’t even know how to describe it,” she said. “It felt like I was in a fog, and nauseous.” The effects of chemo only added to her initial symptoms. LeBrocq noted that when she first went to the doctor in April, she was doubled over with pelvic pains and throwing up. “Losing my hair was the hardest, I mean, I’m a hairdresser,” she joked. –Photo courtesy Stephanie LeBrocq By the time May rolled around, Stephanie LeBrocq, 52, was diagnosed with LeBrocq had been poked and prodded ovarian cancer in December 2018.

cancer. Other symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, trouble eating or feeling full quickly, or feeling the need to urinate urgently or often, according to the NOCC. In June 2018, she was informed that her CA 125 (cancer antigen 125) was elevated and was advised to see an oncologist. CA 125 is a “tumor-associated protein.” Physicians can perform a CA 125 test that will allow them to measure the amount of the CA 125 protein in your blood. Ovarian cancer is one of a few certain cancers that cause CA 125 levels to increase dramatically. In September 2018, LeBrocq underwent surgery to have her fi rst ovary removed after her doctor told her it was “borderline cancerous.” In November 2018, she had a full hysterectomy. The National Women’s Health Network noted that some forms of ovarian cancer can be successfully treated with the “removal of the ovaries and nearby reproductive organs, followed by chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. The earlier the cancer is discovered, the less extensive the surgery and the greater the chance at success.” However, early detection is key. LeBrocq’s cancer was not detected at an early enough stage, thus this method proved unsuccessful for her. In December 2018, LeBrocq received her diagnosis. Dr. ElSahwi at Ocean Medical Center diagnosed her with stage III ovarian cancer, which was invading her omentum, a part of the stomach and intestines. “I was completely devastated,” she said.

Continued From Page 1 to global warming. The Toms River gathering took place prior to one of a series of hearings convened around the state by the state Board of Public Utilities on a working draft of the Energy Master Plan. The governor has touted the EMP as progressive, because it sets the state on the path toward 100 percent “clean” energy by 2050. About 25 members of the Empower NJ movement, which consists of more than 10 environmental, citizen, and community groups made their message loud and clear during a press conference held outside Township Hall prior to the hearing. Brick resident Janet Tauro holds positions of leadership in several environmental groups such as Clean Water Action and Radiation Public Health Project. She led off the press conference which included the backdrop of fellow activists waving signs, carrying banners and wearing themed T-shirts. She said the coalition is focusing on a local approach to the global climate crisis stating that it has already impacted New Jersey. The groups present at the session included: People Over Pipelines, New Jersey Sierra Club, Food & Water Watch, Surfrider Foundation, Clean Ocean Action, Save Barnegat Bay, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, Clean Water Action, and others.
The Manchester Times, September 28, 2019, Page 5 “Right here in Ocean County and, in this spot…we’ve lived through the devastating impacts of climate change. SuperStorm Sandy destroyed lives, property, and put the Oyster Creek nuclear plant at risk. We have sea level rise and regular f looding. Walk through some of the towns on the Barrier Island at high tide, and there are f looded streets even when it’s not raining,” Tauro said. “Let’s not make it worse. Let’s get off fossil fuels and nuclear now. Every fossil fuel project and every moment that the Salem and Hope Creek nukes operate, is time lost to fighting climate change by not supercharging an agenda that puts renewable energy and efficiency at the forefront,” she said. She added, “BPU, now is your moment. This is your chance to take meaningful action to save the planet.” Tauro and others who spoke acknowledged that the governor’s draft Energy Master Plan has good intent, “however, it does not address the situation that we are in as a climate emergency,” Tauro added. Greenhouse gas emissions globally set an all-time high last year. Tauro said greenhouse gases must “be regulated to achieve the United Nations’ 2030 target and the Global Warming Response Act’s 2050 mandate. The Energy Master Plan tepidly proposes to wait until 2020 to begin discussion if we are to regulate greenhouse gases. “We know climate change is real. We need action now. We need a plan that is
forward looking. We need Gov. Murphy to be the green governor he should be,” Peter Blair, policy attorney for Clean Water Action said. Those present expressed a need to voice strong support for a moratorium on new fossil fuel projects. They also advocated for people in the Ocean County area concerned about climate change, fossil fuel power plants and pipelines, to speak up. David Pringle, a member of the steering committee for Save Barnegat Bay, spoke for his group expressing concern for the future health of the Barnegat Bay. “The water quality of the Barnegat Bay is directly linked to this Energy Master Plan. We need the governor to do more.” “Before we can reduce the damage,

we have to stop making it continue,” Pringle said, calling for the governor to hold up the building of pipeline projects currently in litigation. Union activist Carol Gay, Brick, said “there are 15 fossil fuel projects in New Jersey. We are asking for a moratorium on them. It has to be done now.” Around 100 people attended the public hearing held inside the municipal building. The protestors continued to speak against the plan at the hearing, but some others were in favor of it. “We support this master plan,” Kevin Westhoven of New Jersey Resources said. New Jersey Resources (NJR), provides energy and natural gas services including transportation, distribution and asset management.

KNEE PAIN? Grinding, popping, difficulty walking or going up and down the stairs, bone-on-bone pain… Does any of this sound familiar?
There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined.

Continued From Page 4 screened for the disease. The CDC noted that when no symptoms are present, there is “no simple and reliable way” to screen for ovarian cancer. However, the CDC’s advice is this: pay attention to your body. Take stock of what is normal for your body, and pay close attention to any changes that may occur. “If you notice any changes in your body that are not normal for you and could be a sign of ovarian cancer, talk to your doctor about them,” stated the CDC. Diagnostic tests used to detect or rule out ovarian cancer include a rectovaginal pelvic exam, a transvaginal ultrasound, or a CA-125 blood test. Although those with family and personal histories of breast, ovarian and colon cancer are at an increased risk, the NOCC said every woman is at risk.

Continued From Page 1 In the end, Lendis managed to install a stone brick enclosure with a gated fence around the dumpster at the church to beautify the area and serve the community better. And not a moment too soon; the new and improved receptacle area was completed just in time for the St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Festival which was held Sept. 27 & 28 at the church. With the completion of this project, Lendis earned the coveted title of Eagle Scout. According to the Boy Scouts of America, “Eagle Scout rank has represented a milestone of accomplishment - perhaps without equal - that is recognized across the country and even the world. Those who have earned the Eagle Scout rank count it among their most treasured achievements. Eagle Scout is not just an award; it is a state of being.” Lendis’ scoutmaster, of BSA Troop 50 of Whiting, noted that the entirety of an Eagle Scout project is up to the scout himself, from the inception of the idea to the execution of the plan. “We expect great things from him in the future, I see a little bit of entrepreneurial spirit in him,” he said. “Congratulations on your outstanding accomplishment,” stated the board.

The Manchester Times, September 28, 2019, Page 9 The NOCC recommends every woman age 18 and older have an annual vaginal exam, women age 35 and older a rectovaginal exam. Those with a higher risk for ovarian cancer should have transvaginal sonograms and CA-125 blood tests, which detect a protein produced by ovarian cancer cells, though those tests can produce false positives. Women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancers should consider genetic
testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. Those genes help suppress tumors, but when mutated, lead to an increased chance of cancer development. The National Cancer Institute advises that women should consider genetic testing if they were diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50; they have cancer in both breasts; family members have been diagnosed with both breast and ovarian cancer; there are multiple breast cancers in one
family; there are cases of male breast cancer in the family; or the family is of Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity. While these are all precautionary measures, not everyone catches the disease in time. For those women who might be embarking on a battle of their own with ovarian cancer, LeBrocq offered the following advice: “You’re going to be okay… stay strong-minded…push through it… have hope.”

Letters To The Editor Trump Obstructing Justice Trump is a danger to our democracy. Given the overwhelming evidence Mueller presented in his report and testimony, and the willingness of this administration to let foreign powers interfere in our democracy, it’s past time Congress opened a formal impeachment inquiry. No more excuses. No more delays. The Mueller investigation found extensive criminal activity committed by Trump and his team. It resulted in 37 indictments and at least seven convictions or guilty pleas, uncovered over 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Trump himself, and revealed over 100 secret meetings and communications between his campaign and Russians and their cronies. If any other American had obstructed justice as f lagrantly as Trump has, they’d be going to jail. Our representative needs to step up now, because doing nothing will only embolden Trump to trample over our democratic norms and to keep breaking the law. Doing nothing sets a dangerous precedent for future presidents. For all of these reasons, it’s time for our representative to voice their support for a formal impeachment inquiry. Gregory A. Clewell Seaside Heights
Parents Should Be Able To Opt Out Of LGBTQ Ed I want to thank everyone who reached out to me by e-mail or phone call to show their support for the stand I took at the August and September Barnegat Township meetings, regarding the LGBTQ Curriculum with no opt out option for our children.
Letters To have The Editor Many of you expressed had the opportunity to I am r unning against exactly what I espoused at those meetings. Our children need to be protected from the special interests whose individuals hold views contrary to what the vast majority in our community embrace. Prior to the shift that has occurred over the past 25 years, education was determined by the citizens of each local community, holding to the standards of that community. That has radically changed, highlighted with the law recently enacted under the authority of the state’s governor. The historical truth is that families, principally parents, have had the responsibility - and right - to determine how the issue of sex is presented to their children…not the government. This view was expressed by me at the meetings. In spite of the vile criticism and worse, twisted reporting by the media, the rights of parents, not government, nor the shouting opposition, still holds true and someone needed to say so. The overwhelming, private response from the members of our town confirms this. Parents want to guide their children in regards to sexual matters. They do not want to be bullied by the government, or other special interest groups, who should not have control over family matters, such as a child’s sexual education. Moving forward, the people of the State of N.J. must come together to make our legislature aware that the mainstream of the people want this reversed. Please contact your state representatives and tell them to reinstate your parental rights by repealing Senate Bill 1569. Again, I offer no apologies. Although the First Amendment seems to be shredded more and more each day, there is still enough of it left to allow me the legal right to do so. In so doing, my constituents know exactly where I stand. In closing, I am thankful to
stand-in-the-gap safeguarding the rights of parents and safeguarding the well-being of their children. It is an honor to do so. Alfonso Cirulli Mayor Barnegat Township
Watch Donations In Toms River Race I believe Toms River residents should be concerned with the unusually cozy relationship between Councilman (and candidate for mayor) Maurice “Mo” Hill and Mr. Scott Gartner - a man who has threatened to sue the town to force changes to zoning laws that sensibly restrict the construction of houses of worship. According to an ar ticle from the Asbury Park Press (June 21, 2018), Gartner threatened to sue Toms River, contending that the 10-acre zoning rules for religious buildings were “aimed at preventing the const r uction of Or tho dox Jewish shuls (synagogues).” Gartner claimed that he and his neighbors have retained an at torney to pursue the lawsuit and have a “war chest of $500,000.” Campaign fi nance reports filed in recent months reveal that Hill received a $2,600 donation to his mayor’s campaign from Gar t ner, the maximu m contribution allowed by law. Councilman Hill, a former member of the Toms River land use committee (Planning Board), clearly should not be accepting campaign donations with someone who is lobbying for zoning changes. This speaks volumes about Hill’s judgment and priorities. Toms River citizens deserve an explanation. Toms River deserves better from a sitting councilman, and we certainly deserve better from someone who wants to be our mayor.
Councilman Hill for mayor in the election this November. If I am fortunate enough to be elected, I will uphold Toms River’s 10-acre zoning rules for religious buildings, which have been in place since 2009. I will not cave to special interest groups. Jonathan Petro Candidate for Toms River Mayor

Visit The Lakehurst Historical Society
LAKEHURST – The Borough of Lakehurst Historical Society maintains a collection of historical artifacts, books, pictures, and documents which provide a record of a rich history and which help to educate those who wish to learn about a sometimes unknown part of local lore. Charred remnants of the dirigible Hindenburg, which crashed here in 1937, and items from the Navy’s rigid airship program are always popular items to see when one visits the Society’s Museum. The Museum is located at 300 Center Street, in the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Ocean County, Old St. John’s Church. The Church was built in 1874 by Irish Railroad workers. Old Church items are on display and are quite beautiful to see. An old cemetery surrounds the museum. The Museum opened in July, 1993 with nearly 1,000 people on hand. People from many states and several foreign countries have come to view the items on display.
It is managed by all volunteer workers. The Museum also contains an old jail cell, fire department memorabilia, items and furnishings from the Pine Tree Inn, a 19th century music box, original paintings, and many other items relating to Lakehurst’s past as a winter resort, early industrial community, and as the “Airship Capital of the World”. A small research area and library are also available to help people begin their journey through local history. A beautiful Christmas display of old toys, as well as a number of seasonal and changing displays make the Museum a special place to return to several times a year. The Museum is open on Wednesdays and Sundays from noon until 3 p.m. Special tours and small groups can be accommodated with prior notice. For more information contact us at: Lakehurst Historical Society Museum, 300 Center Street, Lakehurst, New Jersey 08733 or 732-657-8864.

OPEN Mon-Sat: 9am-6pm • Sun: 9am-5pm –Photo courtesy gofundme.com By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS - A borough family has organized a GoFundMe campaign to secure funds for their 5 ½ year old son who is suffering from a rare brain condition. “Doing this is so hard but I know we need the help. We do not know where to turn at this point. Our hearts hurt so badly. Our beautiful son, Charles, has been given the biggest challenges a child could go through,” his mother Ashely Massa said. Charles has had three brain surgeries and two spinal surgeries as well as eight other surgeries and is going in for foot surgery on Nov. 1. “Our biggest struggle is something called Chiari Malformation which is when the cerebellum tonsils herniate past the Foramen Magnum. There are numerous different types and Charles started with Chiari 1 Malformation and now has Chiari 1.5 Malformation,” Massa said. The difference is now Charles’ brainstem is herniating as well. “This is causing him numerous issues and he is getting worse and worse. He has had two decompressions,” Massa said, explaining that this type of surgery is meant to help with the symptoms-it does not go away and has had a shunt placement after he developed Hydrocephalus following his operation. Family members were heartbroken after learning the results of his latest MRI which showed Charles “needs to get to California to see the only neurosurgeon that could possibly help. He is our only hope and just to get the second opinion for him to look at his imaging and everything is $700,” Massa said. The family wants to fly out to see the neurosurgeon. “We are not guaranteed flights with any organization but no matter what I would need to pay for my mom since she would need
to come with me to help with our daughter,” Massa said. Hotel costs are also a concern of the family as a room at the hospital is not guaranteed. “With that comes a rental car, food and things like that. Insurance will not be paying for this appointment or future appointments or surgeries in California,” Massa said. Massa said that she learned from other families that have done what they are planning that the hospital will possibly make a payment plan “but even then we cannot afford it.” Charles sees over 10 specialists at this point and most of them are in Philadelphia which means at minimum a two hour drive at $20, $5 tolls and $4 for parking from their Ocean County home. Massa’s son now has epilepsy “that we think is because of his Chiari and the damage it is causing. It isn’t just Chiari that he suffers from, at 15 months old he was diagnosed with DiGeorge Syndrome which is a chromosomal deletion,” Massa said. “This causes numerous things as well including immune issues that cause Charles to need to go to Childrens Hospital Of Philadelphia monthly for IVIG therapy. The funds from the gofundme campaign will be used various expenses while Charles and family members are in California. “It is becoming harder and harder to afford traveling to CHOP,” Massa said. She added that after surgery “we will need funds for us to be out of work and in California. Massa expressed thanks to those that have supported the family’s effort. “This is our last option and we do not know what else to do. Thank you for your support.” To learn more or to donate to Charles visit gofundme.com/f/fxg27-charles039-medical-fund

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE New Jersey Natural Gas Encourages Customers To Always Call 811 Before They Dig
NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Natural Gas is reminding homeowners and contractors – whoever is going to dig – to call 811 at least three business days prior to excavating to ensure all public underground utilities are properly marked. It’s free and it’s the law. Careless digging can result in the disruption of vital services, property damage, repair costs, fines and even injuries. According to the Common Ground Alliance, every six minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first calling 811. Every digging project requires a call to 811 and should only begin after the site has been marked.
Dialing 811 will connect residents to New Jersey One Call, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig. Professional locators will then visit the dig site to mark the approximate locations of underground utilities with flags, paint or both. Yellow indicates a natural gas line. “With spring here, and home and business owners eager to start outdoor projects, we strongly encourage everyone to call 811, no matter the size of the project” said Mariellen Dugan, chief operating officer at New Jersey Natural Gas. “Most importantly, by calling 811, homeowners and professionals are making an important decision that can help keep them and their communities safe.” During National Safe Digging Month, and throughout the year, NJNG encourages homeowners to take the following steps before beginning to dig: Always call 811 at least three, but not more than 10, business days prior to the start of digging, regardless of the depth of the dig or familiarity with the property. Before digging, confirm the markout has taken place. Yellow indicates the presence of underground natural gas lines. Respect all markings. Take a photo of the markout because inclement weather may wash away painted markings. Move the location of the project if it is near utility line markings. Dig with care – hand dig within two feet of marked underground utility lines. For more information about 811 and safe digging practices, visit nj1-call.org or the My Safety section of njng.com. In the event of damage to a natural gas pipeline immediately call 911 followed by a call to NJNG at 800-GAS-LEAK (427-5325).

Ocean County Offering 2020 Census Job Opportunities
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – For those that are looking for work or perhaps just a little extra income, Ocean County can help. There is still six months left until the 2020 Census and the Census Bureau is looking to recruit hundreds of thousands of workers to help with the count. “The U.S. Census is looking to hire our residents for 2020 Census jobs. Ocean County residents in particular are needed to fill these jobs and help ensure a complete and accurate count in the County,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the 2020 Census. “From neighborhood canvassers to office workers, the U.S. Census is hiring people to make certain a complete count is taken in 2020.” These temporary positions can include census takers, recruiting assistants, office staff, and supervisory staff. The 2020 Census will help to determine New Jersey’s representation in the US House of Representatives, as well as direct how over $675 billion in federal funds are distributed to the states annually for Medicaid, Pell Grants, school lunch programs, transit and more. “These jobs are your chance to play a part in history and help ensure that everyone in your community is counted,” said Vicari. “This will ensure our schools, hospitals, and businesses all receive the federal funding needed to best serve you.” If you’re interested in applying, visit 2020census.gov/en/jobs. To be eligible for a 2020 Census job, you must: • Be at least 18 years old. • Have a valid Social Security number. • Be a U.S. citizen. • Have a valid email address. • Complete an application and answer assessment questions. (Some assessment questions are available in Spanish. However, an English proficiency test may also be required.) • Be registered with the Selective Service System or have a qualifying exemption, if you are a male born after Dec. 31, 1959. • Pass a Census-performed criminal background check and a review of criminal records, including fi ngerprinting. • Commit to completing training. • Be available to work flexible hours, which can include days, evenings, and/ or weekends. Many of the 2020 Census positions do require you to have access to a vehicle as well as possess a valid driver’s license, unless public transportation is readily available. You must also have access to a computer with internet and an email account. “These temporary positions come with competitive wages, weekly paychecks, flexible hours and paid training,” Vicari said. “They are available to anyone that
Horoscope See Page 39
can meet the requirements.” Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines added that the Census Bureau is committed to hiring people to work in the area where they live. “Working where you live is a benefit to the Census Bureau,” Haines said. “You have a good working knowledge of your area and that is a helpful advantage.”
According to the Census Bureau, if you are employed elsewhere, your current job must be compatible with Census Bureau employment and not create confl icts of interest. These will be reviewed on a caseby-case basis. Also, you must not engage in any partisan political activity while on duty. The Census Bureau is an equal opportunity employer.
If you are a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. armed forces and were separated under honorable conditions, you may be eligible for veterans’ preference. For more information, contact your area census office at 1-855-JOB-2020 (1-855562-2020) and select option 3. You may also use the Federal Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339 for TTY/ASCII.

Audiologist Making House Calls
In the old days, many Doctors made house calls to patients when the word “specialist” did not exist. It is extremely rare to see this in the 21st Century, however, there are several select companies that do offer this service such as Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) and/or similar groups. Concierge services are now being offered by certain physician groups whereby you pay an “upfront” fee and you have a more direct channel to the Doctor when you need them. Concierge services clearly exist with Primary Care Physician’s, Internal Medicine, Podiatry, Optometry, Dental, and Veterinary practices. These practices are trying to provide an “exceptional service package” and you pay extra for these services. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center (GSHBC) realizes the importance of extending their hearing care services outside of our three office locations (Toms River, Manahawkin, & Whiting). For example, there are hundreds of residents living in continuing care facilities such as Crestwood Manor, Harrogate, The Pines at Whiting and many others who cannot get out to see their doctors. Many of these facilities bring the healthcare professional to the resident. GSHBC provides these services to many of these facilities, and trust me, the residents are so grateful! Granted, many residents are independent enough
to hire transportation to see their doctors, however, it can become quite expensive to do so. Thus, these continuing care facilities make an effort as part as their value proposition to offer as many on-site healthcare services as possible to their residents. Equally important…there are many folks that are non-ambulatory and find it extremely difficult to leave their home. Many of them are wheel chair bound, on 24/7 oxygen due to COPD and/or have significant health issues. Hearing loss is very prevalent in this type of population and these folks need our help as well. GSHBC has never advertised or promoted this service, even though we have been making “house calls” for over 25 years. In my opinion, there is an increasing need for hearing care services to these specific individuals because our population is living longer and longer. We believe that everyone’s quality of life can be enhanced with improved hearing. We also know that untreated hearing loss in these populations increase the risk of cognitive decline, memory loss, and social isolation. If you know of someone who is suffering from hearing loss and does not have the transportation means to see us, we will be happy to come to their home or place of residence. For additional information, please feel to speak to Dr. Izzy Kirsh at 732-818-3610 or email to: ikirsh@ gardenstatehearing.com.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting (expanded hours!), and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

The Ocean County Health Department wants to help you on your breastfeeding journey with “Nursing Your Newborn.” Learn the basics of breastfeeding in this free class, held every third Wednesday of the month at the Southern Ocean County Medical Center, 7-9 p.m. “The Ocean County Health Department is proud to be teaming up with Southern Ocean Medical Center by offering this free, 2 hour class, and preparing mothers with the basics to begin her breastfeeding journey,” said Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator. The class will discuss the following: • How breastfeeding works • Establishing a good milk supply • How to get your baby to latch • How to know if your baby is getting enough milk • Positions for breastfeeding • When and where to get support
• How to choose a breast pump • Returning to work and maintaining your milk supply • Common challenges, and more “We are very excited about this program and the chance to help remove obstacles to obtaining high-level, evidence-based lactation support in the county,” said Patricia High, Ocean County Health Department Assistant Public Health Coordinator. “Allow the OCHD professionals to help give you the best instruction and guide you through the nursing process because the more education you get now the better equipped you’ll be at home with your baby.” This class is free, but registration is required. To register, call 1-800-560-9990 to reserve a spot for you and one support person. “You can certainly learn about breastfeeding on the internet or from other materials, but nothing is better than the information, interaction and hands-on lessons you’ll receive from this class,” said Regenye.

Popular Heartburn Medicine May Be Laced With NDMA By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The news broke on September 13, with a statement from the Dr. Janet Woodcock, the Director at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. This is a day that will go down in history. According to the statement, “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has learned that some ranitidine medicines, including some products commonly known as the brand-name drug Zantac, contain a nitrosamine impurity called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) at low levels. NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer) based on results from laboratory tests. NDMA is a known environmental contaminant and found in water and foods, including meats, dairy products, and vegetables.” Part of how it hurts us is by rendering inactive two powerful antioxidant ‘cleansing’ enzymes in the liver. The first one being catalase, and the second one being glutathione. These two enzymes are used to neutralize poisons in the body. NDMA is hepatotoxic! We get into NDMA when we eat bacon and hot dogs, cold-cuts and cured meats. It’s in cheese, beer and chewing tobacco. But in our stomach medicine?! The FDA is not issuing a drug recall and advising that everyone remain on their medication. In other words, they don’t want you to panic and stop taking it during their evaluation. Traces of this carcinogen were found by a Connecticut lab in both the brand name drug, and a few generic samples that were tested. They did not test every single brand that you see on the shelves. They did not yet publicly name the brands that are
tainted. But there was enough found for the FDA to start warning consumers. When most people think of a generic drug, they think that there is just one generic maker of that drug. But that’s not true at all. There are dozens of manufacturers of the generic version called “ranitidine.” Not all of the generic makers have this NDMA problem. So again, finding NDMA in a handful of samples does not mean that every single generic version of ranitidine is contaminated. As for other H2 receptor antagonists in the same category as ranitidine, there is nothing to be worried about yet: Cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid) and nizatidine (Axid). By the way, this isn’t the first problem with NDMA. In June 2019, the FDA issued a recall for the blood pressure drug called losartan “over small amounts of carcinogen.” One more thing regarding the PPI drugs such as Prilosec (omeprazole), Nexium (esomeprazole) and Prevacid (lansoprazole). These medications have not been evaluated or found to be contaminated with any NDMA. But if you take them, just support yourself with a good magnesium supplement because they are strong drug muggers. According to the Toxicology Data Network, some symptoms that might occur if you’re poisoned with NDMA include nausea/vomiting, cramps, diarrhea, liver damage, enlarged liver, fatigue, headache and kidney problems. If you are not dependent on your heartburn medicine, consider some natural alternatives that could suppress acid and/or coat and soothe your stomach. I have those articles posted at my website to help you.

Ocean County Senior Programs To Receive Increased Funding
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER - Ocean County is home to more than 173,000 seniors and many of them utilize services from county assistance programs. Those programs will now benefit from increased funding by federal state and county sources. “This additional money received, in part, under the federal Older Americans Act will help enhance some of the many services we provide to our senior citizens, especially those who are frail, vulnerable and disabled,” Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, Chairman of the Office of Senior Services said. Vicari added that “from home delivered meals to helping out the many caregivers who provide a helping hand to the elderly, these funds go a long way in delivering beneficial and needed support.” Members of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders approved amendments on Aug. 21 to the contracts of 13 different senior services providers in order to reflect the additional funding. Federal funds increased by $180,085, while state funds increased by $15,470 and county funding went up by $91,000 for a total midyear increase of $286,555. Vicari said he was pleased to see the additional funding for these programs. “Some years we have gone without mid-year increases. This certainly is a help.” Community Services Inc. which is the county’s senior nutrition program provider received an additional $70,000 for the county’s senior home delivered meal program. The agency provides 1,100 home delivered meals a day across the county to many low income and homebound seniors. They also provide meals to numerous senior congregate nutrition sites. “The senior home delivered meal program
is of the utmost importance to this Board and we are committed to making certain funding for this program is maintained at the proper levels in order to serve the neediest of our seniors,” Vicari said. Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines said the program is “a lifeline to many seniors. It’s a daily wellness check. It allows our seniors to continue to live independently.” Vicari noted that several senior centers in the county such as the Toms River Senior Center, the Brick Township Senior Center, Long Beach Island Center and the Point Pleasant Multi-Purpose Senior Center, received additional funds as well. “These centers serve as a centerpiece for social activities for our seniors,” Vicari said. “Throughout the year, they hold health fairs and informational sessions on scams and other topics. They are open daily and provide a comfortable spot for our seniors to gather and enjoy each other’s company.” Providers that assist with transportation, outreach services, fix-it programs, caregiver support and legal assistance also received additional funding. Vicari said “the cost to run our senior services and programs totals $6.1 million annually with the cost shared by the federal government, the state government and the Ocean County Freeholders.” Ocean County appropriates nearly $2.2 million for its senior programs. The federal funding totals $2.5 million and the state provides $1.4 million. “We expect to serve close to 33,000 older residents and their families in 2019,” Vicari said. “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.”

A Brief Introduction to Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) By: Olivia Santa Maria, DPT WHAT IS SOFT TISSUE?
TREATED WITH IASTM?
The term “Soft tissue” refers to the fascia (connective tissue), muscles, tendons, and ligaments that make up the body. Injuries to these areas are a common cause of pain and dysfunction that causes patients to seek the assistance of a physical or occupational therapist. There are a variety of techniques used to treat these conditions, including exercise, modalities, and manual therapies. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is one of the manual techniques a physical or occupational therapist can use to treat these injuries.
The different shapes and edges of the tools allow the clinician to use them around all of the different contours of the body, which make them useful for most conditions seen in the clinic. These tools can be used to break down scar tissue after surgery, decrease pain caused by sprains and strains to ligaments and muscles, reduce swelling/edema, and alleviate nerve restrictions. Common conditions that warrant use of IASTM treatment are joint replacements,
there may be some soreness or discomfort. It is important to not be alarmed by these symptoms, and recognize that these are temporary symptoms being closely monitored by your therapist. After several treatments, there should be a noticeable change in mobility and function. IASTM, combined with your
WHAT IS IASTM, AND WHY IS IT USED? When soft tissue injuries occur, the natural processes of the body lay down new cells to heal the injury. These cells are often laid down in a disorganized pattern and they can bind to the underlying tissues, ultimately restricting the mobility of these structures. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization involves the use of tools to mobilize the soft tissue structures of the body. These tools come in many shapes and sizes, and are made of a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, plastic, jade, and ceramic. While the tools may differ in shape and material, they share the common purpose of assisting the clinician with mobilizing the injured soft tissue in order to reduce adhesions (scar tissue), increase blood flow to the injured area, and encourage healing of the damaged tissue. WHAT INJURIES ARE MOST COMMONLY
exercise program, can help you return to your normal daily activities and hobbies. Rotator cuff tears and surgical repairs, plantar fasciitis, muscle strains, and tendonitis. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? Your physical or occupational therapist will evaluate you at your initial visit to determine if your condition warrants the use of IASTM. This will not be the primary treatment, but rather one technique your therapist uses to assist in your recovery. The technique itself involves the clinician using the tool in a scraping motion along the surface of the skin. In order to “re-start” the healing process, your therapist is causing a micro-trauma to the injured area to encourage the body to heal itself. Therefore, temporary redness, heat sensation, and sometimes bruising are normal immediately following treatment, and
OLIVIA SANTA MARIA, DPT Olivia graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health and a Minor in Gerontology from The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in 2012. She continued her education at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ in Newark, where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2015. While in graduate school, Olivia and her fellow colleagues conducted a study entitled “For individuals with lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries, do off-the- shelf video games, compared to standard of care, improve balance, function, and patient satisfaction?” The abstract was accepted and Olivia presented the poster at the National Combined Section Meeting in 2015. Since graduating in 2015, Olivia’s primary professional focus has been in the orthopedic outpatient setting, although she has also worked and completed clinical experiences in both acute care and acute rehabilitation. Olivia is a certified LSVT Big clinician, and she has been trained in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. Olivia is interested in non-operative and operative orthopedic conditions, sports rehabilitation, balance and gait dysfunction, and manual therapy. Her future professional plans include becoming a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. Olivia is currently treating at the new Manahawkin facility.

The beginning of a New Year is a good time to review your estate planning documents. Let’s start with your Last Will and Testament. Have you reviewed it in the last year? If not, now is a good time. First, look at the persons who you have appointed as your executor, guardian and trustee. Are those persons still capable of acting in that capacity? Are they still willing to act? Is there any reason why you would not want them to act under your Will? Review the specific bequests and devises in your Will. This is the part of the Will where you leave specific items, real estate or money to specific persons. Are those persons still worthy of receiving those assets? Are there additional persons that you want add to your Will? Do you still own the items identified in your Will? Are there any other items that you want to leave to specific persons? Review the persons named in your Will who are receiving the remainder of your estate. Are those persons still deserving of your assets? If you are leaving your estate in different percentages to your beneficiaries, are those percentages still what you want? Are they any other persons who you want to add to your Will? Are any of the persons named in your Will incapacitated or receiving governmental benefits? Perhaps the assets left to those
persons are best left in a trust. Review your Power of Attorney. Are the Marc S. Galella Esq. persons you appointed in that document still capable of acting for you? Do they still want to act on your behalf? Are there other persons who you want to name to act for you? Is there any reason why a person that you named should no longer act for you? Do you have a Power of Attorney? Maybe you did not need one the last time you prepared a Will, but maybe you should consider preparing one now. Review your Living Will. Ask yourself the same questions as your Power of Attorney. Has there been any changes in your medical conditions that would change the medical directives in your current Living Will? If after reviewing your current estate planning documents you feel that they should be changed, now is the time to discuss your concerns with an estate planning attorney. The attorneys at R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 combined years of preparing estate planning documents. Call us to schedule an appointment to review your documents with you.

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

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE New 4-H Year Begins
OCEAN COUNTY – 4-H is gearing up for another year of fun, friends and learning. The new 4-H year started recently (September 1) and 4-H clubs in Ocean County are reorganizing and enrolling new members. Youth, who are in Kindergarten through Grade 13 (one year out of high school) can join a 4-H club. 4-H participation is open to all youth, regardless of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender or disability. In 4-H clubs or special interest programs, youth learn knowledge and skills related to that project area as well as learn, develop and practice valuable skills such as decision-making, critical thinking, record keeping, cooperation, goal setting, problem solving, communication, public speaking, and leadership. What makes 4-H unique? 4-H provides real-life, positive youth development experiences. Members learn how to do tasks and make decisions similar to those in adult life. These are called life skills. “Using life skills, members learn how to manage their resources, work together in groups, develop critical thinking skills and communicate with others”, says Tamara Pellien, County 4-H Agent of Rutgers Cooperative Extension. Families are an important part of the 4-H Youth Development Program. Parents,
brothers, sisters and other members of the family can learn new skills and adopt new ideas by being a part of the 4-H program experiences and educational opportunities. 4-H is adaptable to each individual, each home and each community. 4-H clubs also get involved in service learning or community service activities designed to improve the circumstances in their community. Through activities like cleaning up neighborhoods or assisting with local food pantries, 4-H members learn civic engagement, citizenship, and leadership skills. The 4-H Youth Development Program is part of Rutgers Cooperative Extension, a unit of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. 4-H educational programs are offered to all youth, grades K-13 (one year out of high school), on an age-appropriate basis, without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, atypical hereditary cellular or blood trait, marital status, domestic partnership status, military service, veteran status, and any other category protected by law. For more information about the Ocean County 4-H Program call the 4-H office at 732-349-1227 or visit the Ocean County 4-H website at ocean.njaes.rutgers.edu/4h/.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Bartley
Healthcare Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents By Joyce Blay There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living. Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents. One of them may be Emilia Harrison, who turned 93 years old on December 4, 2015, and has been a Bartley resident for over five years. “I don’t know where the time went,” she tells a visitor. Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine outdoors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose. “You do what you want to do,” she says. For thirty years, Bartley
Healthcare has provided that flexibility to seniors requiring a wide range of facility services, thanks to Chief Executive Offi cer Philip Scalo and his physician partners. “My partners had a very big practice in Jackson,” Scalo says. “We thought we could open a facility and do a very good job meeting residents’ needs.” With his financial and legal expertise, Scalo and his physician partners make a good team. Others think so, too. The Orchards at Bartley has rec eived nu merous awards for excellence from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services in partnership with the Healthcare Asso ciation of New Jersey (HCANJ); the American Healthcare Association/ National Center for Assisted Living; and the Assisted Living Federation of America. “What we’ve always
tried to do is be leaders in our field,” Scalo says. For the past three decades, that has been the hallmark of the Bartley experience for residents and the staff that ser ve their healthcare
needs. Bar tley Healthc are opened as a 120 -bed skilled nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground. Scalo says the facility’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties. Bar tley Healthc are began expanding its’ range of services and facilities by opening a memory care unit and a post-acute rehabilitation unit where patients typically stay less than 30 days, then return to their homes. Today, Bartley Healthcare is a 234-bed facility offering a full range of skilled nursing services for orthopedic conditions and post-surgical joint replacements; cardiac and post-cardiac surgery recovery programs; enteral feeding; IV therapy, multiple trauma; pain management; respiratory; stroke; tracheostomy; and wound care.
The campus facilities also offer inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation; assisted living; memory care programs; respite/ hospice; and at-home services. “We started with a basic concept, understanding and meeting the individual needs of both resident and patient,”Scalo says. “Each step of our development has been based on the need for services. (For example,) in the late 1990s, we saw the need for memor y care programs.” Scalo says that he and his partners have plans to add respirator y ser vices and a sub-acute program for Alzheimer’s patients. Even after a resident leaves Bartley Healthcare, the facility ensures their continued rehabilitation by providing a follow-up program. Residents that live at The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living will feel right at home right away. N e st l e d i n a qui et c ount r y set t ing, T he Orchards promotes a neighborhood environment. Located within the community, “Main Street” is a hub of activity that features a theater, exercise center, library with c omputer s, hair salon and barber shop, game room and other
gathering areas. Family recreational oppor tunities abound at t h e n e i ghb o r h o o d movie theater, greenhouse and playground
Residents can share their Bartley adventure with other residents or pursue independent pastimes, indoors or outdoors. The choice is theirs. Scalo says that Bartley’s core values are attitude, trust, teamwork, integrit y, re spect and excellence, which he emphasizes on a green bracelet with the acronym “A.T.T.I.R.E.” “The key thing we stress is that we’re a home providing the care levels needed at a certain phase in (an individual’s) life,” Scalo says. “It’s home for (on-site) staff, not What we’ve always just residents. We are tried to do is be leaders very experienced in this community and in our field. (we) give back to our –Chief Executive community.” Officer Philip Scalo Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilfor grandchildren. itation is located at 175 At any age, there is Bartley Road, Jackson something fun to do at NJ 08527.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 28 - OCt 4 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you keep plugging away, you’ll get somewhere. Changing your tactics or your habits might be counterproductive in the upcoming week. If you concentrate and exercise self-discipline, you’ll do better. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When it seems that all you do is work, work, work, it’s good to know that at least you have co-workers who offer some social contact on the job. Take advantage of the brief, happy diversions when they occur. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It isn’t enough to have soaring imagination and the capacity to dream. You may want to harness a vision and apply your creative ideas to a project or pet hobby in a practical way during the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A partner may be more concerned with practical affairs or a job that needs to be done than with cuddling and entertainment. In the week ahead, you may want to focus on being as supportive as possible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your purposefulness could put you in the driver’s seat. If you work hard to complete a job, you might outshine the competition. Avoid impulsive changes that can create misunderstandings later this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have no doubt that drive and determination will get it done. Someone else may have the imaginative and delightful concepts, but you have the self-discipline to turn those ideas into a solid reality.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your serious side may emerge in the week ahead, so take advantage of it: Keep busy with useful tasks. Don’t turn a mild misunderstanding into something it isn’t or let a sudden change undermine your confidence. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Spend time with yourself rather than others and bathe in thoughtful retrospection. There may be a lesson you can learn from your past experiences. Put social ambitions on the back burner this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are in a cycle of self-improvement and growth. Repeating a positive mantra will boost your spirits if anything goes wrong in the week ahead. You can always find something positive to say and do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If everything is organized, you will be more efficient. Prioritize tasks so that your life becomes a smooth-running machine. You may hit a stone wall if you try to change the terms of a relationship in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Expect to pay your own way. Your ability to intuitively understand how to best use your money is at a high point. As the week progresses you may need to call upon your coping skills to deal with erratic people. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You like to escape from the ordinary and may find plenty of opportunities to do so in the upcoming week. Look for new and interesting ways to bring some fun into your exercise routine.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Welcome Autumn With The French Version Of An American Favorite By Wolfgang Puck
More even than deepest winter, I always think of autumn as soup weather. The very fact that it seems like a transitional season with still summery days gradually giving way to cool weather and then, eventually, the first rains or snows suits it to all kinds of different soups, from light broths to robust bean concoctions. Not to mention the fact that the shorter days seem to welcome the comfort offered by delicious soup simmering on the stovetop. So with the first day of autumn falling on Sept. 23rd, it seems like a perfect time to share with you one of a favorite soup my mother and grandmother once made for me and that I now love to make for my wife and sons. At first glance, it might reminder you of chicken soup with noodles, one of the all-time great comfort foods. But closer inspection, and a first spoonful, will reveal something deliciously different. Instead of the usual noodles - which call for mixing, rolling, and cutting egg-enriched dough - this recipe features ribbons of crepes flecked with chopped fresh herbs. They’re so easy to make that you can mix their batter and cook them close to the last minute. But you can also prepare them well in advance, refrigerating them for up to five days or freezing them (stacked between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight bag) and then thawing them in the refrigerator overnight before cutting into ribbons. As for the soup itself, it’s a classic bouillon - the French term for a simple, straightforward broth. To make it, you’ll need time to simmer a whole chicken along with aromatic vegetables and the bundle of cheesecloth-enclosed fresh herbs known as a bouquet garni. The cooked chicken meat, shredded after removing the skin and bones, becomes an essential garnish for the final soup, along with freshly simmered vegetable julienne and the ribbons of crepe. You can even make the bouillon ahead of time, too, refrigerating up in a covered container for up to 4 days. Before reheating it, use a large spoon to carefully remove any fat you’ll find congealed on its surface. It’s possible, also, to prepare the soup even more simply. If you like, make a batch about half the size, starting with good-quality canned chicken broth that you simmer for 30 minutes or so with some aromatic vegetables and a bouquet garni to enhance its flavor. Meanwhile, separately simmer some boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs in a little more broth or water along with fresh herbs; then, when done, drain the meat, let it cool, and shred it. Make the crepes as usual, and you’ll have a super-quick version of the same comforting, home-style soup, perfect for the autumn days ahead. CHICKEN BOUILLON WITH CHICKEN, HERB CREPES, AND JULIENNED VEGETABLES Makes 4 to 5 quarts (4 to 5 l), 8 to 12 servings BOUILLON 1/4 cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium yellow onions, peeled, trimmed, and thinly sliced 2 medium carrots, peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces 2 large celery stalks, trimmed and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces 1 large leek, halved lengthwise, washed, trimmed, and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces 1 large parsnip, peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1/2 inch (12-mm) pieces
1/2 cup (125 ml) peeled and chopped garlic cloves 1/2 cup (125 ml) peeled and thinly sliced shallots 1/2 bunch fresh Italian parsley 5 sprigs fresh thyme 2 bay leaves 5 whole cloves, crushed 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 1 whole chicken, 3 to 4 pounds (1.5 to 2 kg), wrapped in cheesecloth 5 to 6 quarts (5 to 6 l) low-sodium canned chicken stock 2 to 3 tablespoons kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar GARNISHES 1 cup (250 ml) each julienned carrots, leek, and celery Herb Crepes (recipe follows), trimmed into squares and cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) strips 1/4 cup (60 ml) minced fresh chives In a 12-quart (12-l) stockpot, heat the oil over high heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, leeks, parsnips, garlic, and shallots. Sauté, stirring frequently, until tender but not yet browned, 7 to 10 minutes. With cheesecloth and kitchen string, tie the parsley, thyme, bay leaves, cloves, and peppercorns into a secure bundle. Add to the pot. Add the chicken, stock, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours. Carefully remove the chicken to a platter. When it is cool enough to handle, unwrap it, discard the skin, and remove the meat from the bones. Shred the meat into strips 1/4 inch by 2 inches (6 mm by 5 cm). Refrigerate in a covered bowl. Pour the bouillon through a fine strainer over a large mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and sugar. To serve, reheat the bouillon in a large pot over medium heat.
