By Bob Vosseller FREEHOLD – It wasn’t a press conference about a major drug raid, nor news of the sentencing of a nefarious figure in a gun sale operation, that brought members of the law enforcement community, public officials, media, and residents to
the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Building. The occasion that drew Mon mout h Cou nt y Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni, Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal, Freeholder Director Thomas Arnone, several chiefs of police, mem-
bers of their respective departments and family members together, and kept a smile on their faces throughout the twohour event, was the first Class 1 Cadet graduation ceremony of the Growth Through Opportunity program. The program involved
a partnership with The Arc of New Jersey and a 16-week training internship for five cadets with special needs who went through law enforcement training. The cadets included Ivan Aguire, who trained with the Red Bank Police (Pilot - See Page 4)

Officials Consider Park And Lake Improvement Projects
By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – Park and lake improvements were subjects that were discussed and expected to be revisited by the governing body in the near future. A plan to add a concession building at Soldier Memorial Park at a price tag of $1.2 million was discussed during a recent Township Council meeting. The proposed addition to the park, located on Lakewood-Farmingdale Road, was tabled during that session. Resident Tina Smilek questioned the $450,000 increase in the project and called the figure of $1.2 million “ridiculous, you can build a mansion in Howell for $1.2 million.” Officials agreed a lot of details needed to be fleshed out about the project. “We’re going to table this for a later time. There is a lot of things that have to be worked out,” Councilman Pamela Richmond said. “We have a lot of questions,” Councilman John Bonevich said. Township Director of Community Development Jim Herrman reported on park improvement plans saying he, Councilman Bonevich and Councilwoman Richmond have been looking at various improvements at the township’s park facilities and developed a list of projects. “There are some that I want to say are easy (Project - See Page 8)
Issues With Animal Rehabilitation Explained
By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – Wildlife rehabilitator Melissa Jacobs drew a crowd with her knowledge and passion about how the public can help wild animals. Jacobs of Neptune City was the special guest of the township’s Manasquan Reservoir Environmental Center on the afternoon of Feb. 8 where she spoke to 70 attendees and a standing room only crowd. Pat Doyle traveled to Howell from Lacey in Ocean County for the event and said there was
“lots of good information and great questions during the program.” Wildlife activist Patricia McDevitt was also in the audience. “Melissa is amazing and always gives an outstanding presentation. It is because of her wealth of knowledge and intelligence, combined with her unconditional love and devotion to the animals in her care.” ─Photo Provided by Pat Doyle The audience included Boy Scouts and many Wildlife Rehabilitator Melissa Jacobs speaks children. Jacobs has already been invited to come to an audience at the Manasquan Reservoir (Animals - See Page 2)

back in June for another presentation. Jacobs said a collection was established for the local rehabbers by a staff member at the center. Jacobs said her love of animals began when she was a little girl. “I was always bringing animals home. We lived by the West Lake Country Club and there was always something by the golf course that I would find in the wild. Baby raccoons, baby squirrels or whatever and I would always come home and say ‘Mom, fix it, fix it.’ I always wanted to be a veterinarian but when I found out that at times you had to euthanize animals, I felt I couldn’t do that so I didn’t follow that career. “I’m kind of kicking myself over that today that I didn’t do that but I am in the medical field. We had 150 rehabbers in the state. A lot of dog and cat people so I wasn’t doing much other than walking them. I started to volunteer with Virginia Andresen who was the first rehabber in Ocean County. I got involved and wanted to get my license as she had a license so I apprenticed with her and another rehabber Kim Fred from Red Bank Veterinary Hospital for a year and got licensed in 1993.” The license for small mammals covers possums, sk un ks, raccoons, groundhogs, mice and “all the different critters,” Jacobs said. Jacobs is not only concerned about animals and the lack of rehabbers in the state and the direction things have taken. “Fish and Wildlife basically had a mission to shut the home rehabber like myself down. There were over 150 rehabbers in the state and we were growing and then they decided they didn’t want any home rehabilitators they wanted big centers. “They opened up a few centers and they decided eliminating the small home rehabber like myself. I was on the board of directors of the NJ Association of Wildlife Rehabilitators and several of the rehabbers who are very aligned with the NJ Fish and Wildlife were on that board. I was begging them
to stop the shutting down of the rehabbers. If there are those that aren’t up to par it is our responsibility to get them up to par,” she added. She gave the example of the restaurant business, “you are given two weeks and a checklist to fix whatever is broken so you can stay in business and that is what I was trying to get through their heads.” Jacobs said many rehabbers shut down, finding some of the new regulations onerous and capricious: “conditions that they had to stay in business with that they either quit or got fed up. “Most of us are volunteers and so now we are down to 19 and there are 21 counties in this state and 16 are basically without a rehabilitator at all or just one kind of rehabber such as one bat rehabber, and this definitely doesn’t fit the need the public wants to see,” Jacobs added. “Members of the public take it into their own hands and then they get into trouble. We had a lady in Howell who was caught with two baby squirrels and they (state authorities) came down on her and she tried so hard to find a rehabilitator but we are all filled up. The lack of rehabbers has been very problematic for all of us. “A few of the rehabbers and I decided to push back and we tried to get legislation passed to get us out of (the authority) of Fish and Wildlife. We got it through the Assembly but we were unsuccessful in getting it through the Senate,” Jacobs said. Jacobs said, “I do this because I want to educate people not to fear our indigenous wildlife. I’d like people learn to live harmoniously with our backyard wildlife. They, too are trying to survive. Education is key as it reduces cruelty and animal suffering,” “I am desperately running programs to get more volunteers in all aspects of wildlife - be it transporters, building cages, giving us property to release the animals on or just becoming a licensed rehabilitator. I got 70 calls in one day last year,” Jacobs said.

They received high praise by the dignitaries as their parents and other family members watched them receive their framed certificates of accomplishment. Zehl and Vales arrived early for graduation ceremony. Both were excited for what was to come. “We did court security, dispatch patrol, all different kinds of duties. I liked doing court security. I think everyone in this program liked doing that best,” Zehl said. He was offered a position with the Eatontown Police Department. Vales mother Daureen Vales said “It was a great 16 weeks. Everyone has been very supportive and it is sad to see it end. It was a great program.
Nicholas worked with the recreation department and was very busy. He worked four hours a day from Tuesday to Friday.” “I did some cool stuff. I worked at the New York Airport,” Vales said with excitement. Prosecutor Gramiccioni thanked the family members of the cadets present who were there to support them on their big day. “Thank you for supporting your loved ones in their participation in this cadet program and thank you for supporting our agencies, mission and goals in working with them and taking an experience they were offered and running it through this system here.” “Any law officer who participated in this they will tell you they are better law officers and people for being able to work with your sons over the past four months,” the Prosecutor said. Monmouth County was the first to launch the pilot program. “The General knows I love being the first at everything. My hope is that we can take this program statewide. The goal of this program is to give these individuals an opportunity to intern at a law enforcement agency

where they can learn valuable career and life skills,” Prosecutor Gramiccioni said. “Each cadet was issued a uniform and became part of our law enforcement team and community. They worked alongside employees in our agencies and gained experience that specifically tailored to their specific interests as well to their independent living goals,” he said. The prosecutor then addressed the cadets: “I think it is fair to say that over these past four months, gentlemen, the staff at our office and participating police departments literally fell in love with you and we are better for having you work in our agencies. When you walk out of here, I want you to always remember you will always be one of us.” General Grewal presented the State Police’s triangular patches to the cadets. “This should be a model for the state. “From what I’ve heard from Chris and the departments involved is that this has been nothing short of a tremendous success. You improved the lives and the work environment of all those around you.”

“You helped our law enforcement officers understand what differently abled individuals go through so maybe the next time they are out there in the community they have a better understanding and better perspective. You also showed there is no limitation on your successes. That you could do anything if you put your mind to it,” he added. Freeholder Arnone said, “This is a great day for Monmouth County because we are so proud of so many entities that joined together as one with the ultimate outcome of success that we are seeing today. I want to thank the cadets because you made our lives better.” Marlboro Police Chief Peter Pezzullo said of Cadet Zehl, “Sixteen weeks ago we didn’t know what cadet we were getting. Matt stood out and I knew he’d fit in with our department and he’s shown an amazing energy. He had some issues with having been bullied but in the time, he spent with us he has blossomed and I think this has helped him build more confidence.”

Keep Religion Out Of Government President Trump on occasion informed us, it’s from God that our freedoms derive – not government. Our Constitution, with all due respect to the President, did not fall from the sky. Our freedoms did not drop from the out-stretched hands of a supernatural deity. They came from men and women who pursued freedom. They were the attributes of reason, observation, experience and earthly hard-work – liberty and labor are what made this country. The Founding Fathers committed this nation to no religion, or church, or creed, or God, but to the humane principle of human justice and the common welfare. This is not a government under God; it is one nation under the Constitution. Nowhere in our founding document is God mentioned, and this glaring and conspicuous omission was not an accident – it was by design! In 1787, our founders retired kings and gods from government. They declared that “all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.” They wisely and clearly established a secular government with a secular Constitution. With great wisdom, Thomas Jefferson wrote: “It never has been possible to entangle state and church in any way without violating the freedoms of individuals.” Religious intolerance is the reason we have a secular Constitution. The Founding Fathers’ principle of state/ church separation is one of the primary reasons why we are the greatest country on the planet. Perhaps if our urbane, hubris – free, dripping with rectitude president read the Constitution, he’d realize that in America we live under the First Amendment, not the First Commandment.

Letters To aThe millennial Editor – let’s really Smith’s Legacy: Gibbs The Strongest Choice Look no further! Jersey Strong Kate Gibbs is a powerhouse with a proven track record. I’m confident that this millennial knows what it takes to be successful in Congress. I marvel at her abilities to attract diverse voters and stay focused on the issues that are most important to Burlington and Ocean Counties. I am so proud of the Ocean County GOP Screening committee. They interviewed a number of talented candidates and said Kate Gibbs was head and shoulders above them all! Kate is a fi scal conservative who understands the importance of a strong economy. As a freeholder she has successfully implemented a wide range of programs such as small business loans. She supports President Trump’s efforts to grow our historic economy and has the skills to be an integral part of our historic growth. She has a leadership role with the one of the state’s most prominent trade labor unions and understands the importance of creating jobs. She’s behind fairtrade deals that put America fi rst. I feel safe knowing Kate believes in secure borders, a tough but fair stance on immigration, and a tougher stance on dangerous terrorists, She’s a strong believer in our constitution and defends the 2nd Amendment, while pushing for stronger background checks. Her years of experience and love for her constituents make her the clear choice for Congressional District 3. She has what it takes to make us proud, but we have to get her the job by showing our support. I hope you can volunteer, contribute and vote! Let’s not just vote for her because she is a woman or
fight for her because she’s the best candidate and we need her!
Purely Political
Last year I ran for Barnegat Township Committee on a platform that included redeveloping downtown. The gazebo park and farmers’ market are draws but once there, the options for activities and entertainment are limited. Empty storefronts are the norm and only one new cafe has opened downtown recently. With all of the housing development happening around town, it would make sense to offer family entertainment locally so that we don’t lose those dollars to the ever-busy Rt 72 Manahawkin/Stafford corridor. As I think about running again, I think about Congressman Andy Kim and his critical role as a sub-committee chairperson on the Small Business Administration. Two pieces of his legislation include an amendment for increased funding to programs that help veterans start small businesses. The other piece of legislation is strengthening programs intended to protect small business owners whose employees are deployed military Reservists. Over 8% of the Ocean County population is comprised of veterans. There should be a concerted effort by municipal officials to work with Congressman Kim to leverage a win-win. Let’s build our downtowns through small business development AND offer opportunities to our veterans.
Chris Smith’s lack of leadership and integrity during House impeachment proceedings was shameful, but expected. Smith has a track record for being silent when the stakes are highest; considering his meager efforts during the ACA repeal and tax overhaul. Smith fi nally released a statement, unsurprisingly parroting Trump’s talking points. Smith claimed violations of criminal code are necessary for impeachment. They are not. Smith claimed Trump committed no crimes. Bribery, extortion, and asking for foreign help in an election are illegal. He also called the process flawed and unfair, despite the Republicans’ involvement in every step and Trump’s refusal to present a defense. Smith couldn’t even manage “it’s troubling but not impeachable” defense. He offered no repudiation of Trump’s abuses. This, along with Smith’s votes to censure Adam Schiff, shows that he is unconcerned with foreign interference in our elections and embraces Trump’s behavior. Although Smith supported impeaching Clinton over allegations of foreign election funding and insisted Obama send aid to “our good friend and ally” Ukraine to counter Putin because “people are dying,” he couldn’t find the courage to ensure the integrity of future elections or denounce his party, who are pushing Putin’s propaganda that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election. Eventually, we will learn more about the Ukraine scandal. Trump will continue to invite foreign interference in our elections. Smith and Republicans who failed to defend our democracy are now shackled to all of Trump’s past and future misdeeds. He is their legacy.

low hanging fruit items and there are some more complicated that we have agreed on need to be done and need to be completed,” Herman said. He noted the easy low hanging fruit items consisted of swings, bleachers, fencing, playground repairs “things that can be done relatively quickly, like the purchase of equipment that can be installed.” “Within three months between the time of resolution to time of installation would probably be a reasonable time frame to remove some old equipment and replace it. We’ve had quite a few years of hard times on the parks and not a whole lot of money spent redoing them. We’ve been concentrating on trying to acquire property. We are currently under contract on four different properties in town that we are utilizing open space trust funds to acquire,” Herman said. Herrman added that all proposed park improvement projects would be using money from the open space trust fund which currently has $4.1 million. He warned the
council that funds from the open space trust fund were earmarked to cover the cost of the four planned land acquisitions. That also includes the concession project. He added that he’d be in touch with the various leagues that use the township’s fields to get their wish lists for their needs of the fields. Resident Kathy Novak said “I am very happy to see that those ordinances were tabled and more thought will be given. I am very happy to see that the parks will be improved. It is so needed in Howell. We also have wonderful lakes. Has there been any thought into dredging Lake Louise?” Herrman reported on the status of Lake Louise saying, “We looked into dredging Lake Louise three years ago now and got cost estimates and got estimates on rough volumes of materials and did hydro surveys of the lake and found out we had to remove 90,000 cubic yards of sentiment and it was determined that we could not afford to do that and Aldrich Lake and pave any roads so we made the hard decision of picking one. “We picked Aldrich at the time. We dredged it. Did some improvements to it. It looks beautiful and is a nice improvement for that area,” Herrman said. “We are currently participating in a project that will remove and replace the bridge and dam. We are currently funded at $750,000 to join the county on that replacement and install a small fishing dock and put a sidewalk along the west side of Lanes Pond Road. We have not revisited the idea of dredging since 2017,” he said. “Can council revisit dredging Lake Louise? If you dredge the lake people can put their boats in the lake as they can’t do that now,” Novak said. She also asked if property near the lake could purchased for use as a park. Herrman responded, “it would be a good rough estimate to say it would cost $3.5 million to $4 million to dredge Lake Louise on top of all the other improvements so that is a decision the council will have to weigh. When you are considering replacing playgrounds, rehabbing existing fields or dredging the lake, we have to look and make hard decisions about real costs.” The council also moved to table a plan to repeal an existing ordinance and adopt a new noise ordinance during that meeting. The idea was to replace the township’s current noise ordinance and adopt the state code for noise as the local ordinance. Township Attorney Joseph Clark said that the ordinance was worded verbatim from the state measure “which the county said they would enforce.” Bonevich said that in talking with the township’s professionals including police and code enforcement that rather than have the county enforce it, the idea of self-enforcement within the township would be looked at. “We are going to see what the costs are to enforce this ourselves.”

More Water Main Installations Scheduled By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – More work is scheduled for a major water main installation project in the months to come by the New Jersey American Water company. The company is set to finish the second phase of its project in the township adding approximately 20,000 more feet of new water main along portions of Maxim Southard Road, Maxim Road, Preventorium Road, Old Tavern Road, Lanes Mill Road and Locust Avenue. The project also includes installing 25 new fire hydrants along the pipeline route. Two years ago, New Jersey American Water completed the first phase of its Howell main project with the installation of 18,500 feet of new transmission main along Lakewood Farmingdale Road, Oak Glen Road, and Maxim Southard Road. Once both phases are completed, the transmission main will allow the company to deliver additional water supply to customers throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties from its recently expanded Oak Glen Water Treatment Plant. Donald Shields, vice president of engineering at New Jersey American Water said,
“this collective $39 million investment plays a critical role in advancing water service reliability for current customers in this area while providing the ability to serve more customers well into the future, as the region continues to flourish and grow.” The company’s local qualified contractor, J. Fletcher Creamer & Son, Inc., started work on Feb. 10 and expects to finish by the end of December 2020, weather permitting. Work hours are from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work beyond those hours is not expected unless required to maintain the project’s schedule. Final street restorations will be completed by the end of the year. In consideration of the safety of the public and workers, traffic restrictions and/or alternating traffic patterns are likely to occur during work hours. All emergency vehicles and local traffic will be allowed access during construction. New Jersey American Water advises drivers and pedestrians to take caution in the vicinity of work sites. The company, which dates back to 1886, is the largest investor-owned water utility in the state, providing water and/or wastewater services to approximately 2.7 million people.
Police Host Car Seat Inspections
HOWELL – The Howell Police Dept. will be holding a car seat inspection/installation on the third Wednesday of every month. This is a free service and is open to the public. This is done on a first come first serve basis. If you can’t make it or your car seat was not
looked at, no worries! The next one is scheduled for Wednesday, December 18 from 5-8 p.m. The location is still to be determined. Stay tuned for updates! If you have any questions you can reach out to Officer Cherney, Officer Bush, or Officer Scherbinski.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Natural Remedies For Gallbladder Support By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. It’s such an unsexy thing, this gallbladder. The gallbladder is about 3 inches long and 1.5 inches wide and you will never think about it your whole life until your right upper quadrant starts hurting, then and only then you’ll start googling “gallbladder.” Your liver produces bile which goes to your gallbladder where it’s concentrated to become stronger, like 5 times stronger! It sits there in storage until you eat something fatty and then it is secreted to break down the food. Bile is a liquid that is greenish-yellow. It’s like soap, it breaks down ‘grease’ as in fat, into smaller globules. Bile and bilirubin give feces that distinct brownish color. In a way, bile is thought to deodorize bile, so if you have a very unpleasant stool odor, it’s a sign you are not making enough bile. Here are some natural remedies that can support you, ask your doctor what’s right for you: Gallbladder with Ox Bile & Liver by Ancestral Supplements - This is a grassfed, bovine-derived formula that may help with bile production or reduced bile excretion. If your gallbladder has been removed, this can help, and likewise, if you’re worried about stones, this can also help. When your own organ is sluggish or deficient, the intake of animal-derived organs can play an important role. It’s not as odd as you might think, in fact, this is the premise behind bone broth, collagen and gelatin. Formulas available at AncestralSupplements.com and Amazon. Gallbladder Formula by Nature’s Sunshine - This multi-tasking blend con-
tains Oregon grape, ginger, cramp bark, fennel, peppermint, catnip and more. I think this botanical formula could be helpful for indigestion, dyspepsia, pain, belching and bloating. This formula is on Amazon. Carrot Juice - Carrots are high in vitamin C which can minimize calcium deposits which contribute to stone formation. Freshly extracted juices clean up the GI system including your gallbladder and this prevents gallstones because it stimulates bile secretion. Chanca Piedra - It helps you secrete bile. Quick research will reveal that it’s used for all kinds of urinary, gastrointestinal and gallbladder problems, and is nicknamed “stone breaker.” There are a few awesome supplements available today (and also teas) that are sold online or at health food stores that contain Chanca piedra. This herb is sold at health food stores and online. Ginger - You can eat crystallized ginger if it’s the only way you can get it down. If you like ginger, just cook with it and make yourself a tea. Ginger converts cholesterol (which is part of gallstones) and turns it into bile acids, thus reducing the formation of gallstones. Fresh ginger is available at the grocery store. Fennel - Fennel tea might be nice because it may help with indigestion and eases gallbladder inflammation. You can try essential oils or look in the produce department or health food store. If you’d like to read the longer version of this article with more ideas, please sign up to receive my weekly blog. You can do so at my website, suzycohen.com.

HOWELL – A magic carpet ride and a whole new world is coming to Howell Middle School South. Aladdin JR. will open the weekend of March 26, 27 and 28 for three performances at Howell Middle School South. The 2014 Broadway musical nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is about a princess, a street rat and one very special lamp. Disney’s Aladdin Jr is filled with magic and thrills for the whole family. Aladdin Jr. has been given the royal treatment restoring several songs by Howard Ashman and Alan Menkin such as ‘Proud of Your Boy,’ ‘High Adventure,’ and ‘Babkak, Omar, Aladdin and Kassim,’ along with classic songs ‘A Whole New World,’ ‘Friend Like Me’ and ‘Prince Ali.’ Seventh grader Aaron Long steps into the role as the street urchin Aladdin, who falls for the strong-willed Princess Jasmine, played by Addyson Fazio (7th). Aladdin and his three friends, Babkak, Patrick Fagan (7th), Omar, James McLeod (7th) and Kassim, Oliver Konopack (6th) are down on their luck until Aladdin discovers a magic lamp in which the fun-loving Genie, played by Isabella Colgan (7th) has the power to grant Aladdin three wishes. The Genie helps Aladdin outsmart the wicked Jafar played by Andrew Williams (8th) and his sidekick Iago played by Ella
McDaniel (7th). Wanting to earn the respect of the princess, Aladdin embarks on an adventure that will test his will and his honorable character. Bringing the iconic and magical city of Agrabah to life is a creative team of Howell Middle School South Players’ teachers and theater advisors: Ms. Cindy Lutz and Mr. Michael Moorman with Mr. Steve Esche as the musical director. This promises to be South’s most technically advanced production yet, with moving animations for backdrops and a magic carpet that will be extra special. Playtime Costumes by Jacquie Revier will be making the citizens of Agrabah look spectacular. The production could not be possible without the wonderful parent volunteers who have helped in all areas. The cast and crew of nearly seventy students singing, dancing and acting, invite you to fi nd your flying carpet and join us on a soaring adventure. Performances are: • March 26 at 7 p.m. • March 27 at 7:30 p.m. • March 28 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at hmss.booktix.com For more information, email howellmssplayers@gmail.com or call 732-836-1327 ext. 6804

Fresh Take: Celebrate The Coming Of Spring With A New Look At Asparagus By Wolfgang Puck ASIAN ASPARAGUS SALAD Serves 4 1 bunch jumbo asparagus, about 1 pound (500 g) 1/4 cup (60 mL) unseasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons white miso 2 tablespoons Japanese-style pickled sushi ginger 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce 3/4 cup (185 mL) canola oil 1 cup (250 mL) cherry tomatoes, cut in halves 1/2 bunch watercress, separated into small sprigs, thick stems discarded 2 teaspoons olive oil Kosher salt 6 red radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced Ground sansho pepper (available at Japanese markets), Szechuan pepper or freshly ground black pepper 1 package edible pesticide-free organic flowers (available at well-stocked supermarkets) Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice cubes and water. Meanwhile,
use a sharp knife to trim the cut ends of the asparagus; then, with a vegetable peeler, peel the tough skin from the bottom quarter to third of each stalk. Cut the stalks crosswise in half. Add the asparagus to the boiling water, and cook for 10 seconds. Drain and immediately immerse the asparagus in the ice water. When the asparagus is cold, drain well and set aside. To make the dressing, put the rice vinegar, white miso, pickled ginger, sugar and soy sauce in a blender. Blend at medium speed. With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream until a smooth, thick but slightly fluid dressing forms. Transfer the dressing to a nonreactive container and set aside. To assemble the salad, toss the cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of the dressing, adding more as needed to coat them; set aside. Toss the watercress with the olive oil, season lightly with salt, and set aside. Arrange the asparagus pieces on a chilled platter or individual chilled serving plates and drizzle with some of the remaining dressing. Mound the cherry tomatoes on top. Arrange watercress sprigs and radish slices on top of and around the tomatoes and asparagus. Lightly sprinkle with sansho pepper and garnish, if you like, with edible flower petals. Serve immediately.
