By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Three senior officers earned new stripes in a ceremony that brought together many of the officers in the township during a ceremony which took place in the Municipal Complex. The three veteran officers were Lt. Robert Dolan who was promoted to captain, detective Sergeant Chris Hemhauser who was promoted to lieutenant, and Patrolman Chris Cerullo who advanced to patrol sergeant. Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer administered their

oaths of office in the presence of family, friends, police personnel and township officials. Capt. Dolan began his career with the township’s police department in 1993 as a dispatcher. A year later he became a patrolman and earned the rank of sergeant in 2004. He was promoted to lieutenant in 2011. Among the departmental projects Dolan managed were the construction of a $6 million township-wide radio system and the implementation (Officers - See Page 4)

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Road const r uct ion updates, land sales, land donations and news on an access road for Renaissance were discussed during the last Township Council meeting but not before first honoring local Girl Scouts. Members of Troop 176 r e c e ive d r e c ognition through a procla mat ion rea d by Mayor Ken neth Palmer during the Feb. 24 meeting honoring the Junior Girl Scout Bronze Award recipients. The scouts and their leader joined the mayor and later members of the council for a group photo. The mayor noted that the scouts had raised funds for Ronald McDonald House that supports families with children who are undergoing medical treatment. The Council also approved the acceptance

and authorization of a letter of agreement concerning conditional approval for use of a secondary access road for the Ma nchester Renaissance Development. One resident questioned the long wait. “The unfortunate thing is that we’ve been waiting for over 10 years for that road to be open. It seems like the only way for it to move forward is if the HOA (Renaissance Home Owners Association) initiated a lawsuit and they said okay we have to finish this road. Why couldn’t the township do something in the prior years? They are the ones that demanded that road be put in, why did we have to wait until the HOA initiated a lawsuit and they had their money and everything,” resident Hank Glen asked (Road - See Page 7)

Students Given View Of What Impaired Driving Looks Like

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Local students are looking at things in a new way after a program showed them what it’s like to be under the influence of various chemicals. In the center court of the Ocean County Mall, the Healthy Liv-

ing and Education Expo had hands-on activities set up where students could learn the dangers of impaired driving. This is an annual event, and students from eight local high schools and Ocean County College attended, said Peter Curatolo, chief of admin-

istrative services for the Health Department. This year, they expanded the program to include partners in health fields that have been weaving a net of services designed to catch people falling through the cracks. These included Hackensack

Meridian, RWJ Barnabas, Deborah Heart and Lung, Atlanticare, Urgent Care Now, Senior Services, and the Prosecutor’s Oﬃce. Mon mouth Medical Center’s Southern Campus in Lakewood had a booth where they had to walk a line wear-

ing goggles that made it seemed like you had a concussion. Leeanne Cheung, from Toms River High School North, told a reporter “It made me very dizzy. The line was moving. You should try it!” One booth was manned (Students - See Page 10)

Continued From Page 1 of the Spillman Computer Aided Dispatch and Record Management System. His current assignment is the development and implementation of the Division of EMS which encompasses Emergency Medical Services and Fire. This program launched on March 1. Dolan holds a bachelor’s degree in business management from Rutgers University, a master’s degree in administrative science from Fairleigh Dickinson University and is a Qualified Purchasing Agent as well as a NJ Certified Public Manager. He earned numerous law enforcement related awards and commendations throughout his career. Lt. Hemhauser began his career with the department in 1996 as a dispatcher and took his oath as a patrolman in 2001. He served as a field training oﬃcer, dedicated a combined seven years to the Manchester and Ocean County Regional SWAT teams, and was assigned to the Investigations Bureau in 2006. After nine years as a detective, he was promoted to dete ctive sergeant in 2015. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Stockton University, and a master’s degree from Farleigh Dickinson University. In addition, Hemhauser is a member of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Oﬃce Arson Task Force, a member of the Manchester Police Honor Guard and has also

earned numerous law enforcement related awards and commendations throughout his career. Sgt. Cerullo was hired as a patrolman in 2007, and holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and a master’s degree in Human Resource Management from Seton Hall University. Over the course of his career, Cerullo has actively worked with the school district, serving as the School Resource Oﬃcer for the past four years. Along with a select group of oﬃcers, he was instrumental in the development of the #NotEvenOnce high school opiate awareness program for which he serves as an instructor. Cerullo also created the curriculum for the Manchester Youth Police Academy, a successful summer day camp program launched in 2015. He also serves on the department’s school safety and security assessment committee. “This proud day would not be possible without the continued support of Mayor Palmer and the Township Council. They recognized the need for a township-administered EMS Division, and these promotions are a part of the reconfiguration of our Police Department to make that happen,” Police Chief Lisa D. Parker said. “We wish Capt. Dolan, Lt. Hemhauser, and Sgt. Cerullo the best of luck as they begin the next chapters in their law enforcement careers here in Manchester Township.”

Road:

Continued From Page 1 the council. Council President Sam Fusaro said 20 years ago a requirement called for a safe crossing over the railroad that would require “gates or lights but during recent years that line went dead and it wasn’t used anymore

The Manchester Times, March 7, 2020, Page 7 and there could be possible injuries happening if we took away from that requirement and there was no way to put that gate back in unless the homeowners put it in.” “The road is now complete aside from this safety gate issue which we are resolving,” Palmer said. “That project did move forward because we did threaten a lawsuit. As a collective unit we have applied pressure.

−Photo by Bob Vosseller Manchester Township Mayor Kenneth Palmer, left, joins members of Girl Scout Troop 176 and Township Council members Robert A. Hudak, Joan Brush, Sam Fusaro and James A. Vaccaro Sr. The local Girl Scouts were honored for collecting funds for Ronald McDonald House which provides temporary housing for families of ill children receiving treatment. The presentation was made during a recent Township Council meeting.

I don’t know the particulars of why your HOA filed that lawsuit because we were working along, although it was slow. I’ll be the first to say it wasn’t quick but the council and I have been applying pressure on them to move forward.” “A builder/developer comes in to do a project and you set certain conditions down that they have to abide by to get the project complete and then the project does get complete but the conditions aren’t met and to get these conditions met you have to wait 10 years,” Glen said. Palmer said that some of the leverage that would have been able to be applied had been removed which prevented further action to force the developer to complete the road. The president of the Board at Renaissance came forward to thank the mayor and council’s efforts in getting the road complete. In other news, there were three ordinances on second reading that were approved though two had to first be voted down and amended. The governing body voted to accept a land donation at 1501 Amsterdam Avenue in the first ordinance while the second ordinance involved renovations to the Manchester First Aid Building connected to the third which bonded for the renovations at that facility. Township Clerk Sabina Martin advised Council President Sam Fusaro to make a motion to defeat the ordinances following

a public comment period. No one from the public spoke on the issue before they were both brought up on the floor. Each of the council members voted against the motion with the exception of Councilman Craig Wallis who was absent and then the motion was reintroduced with an amended figure. “This was fi rst introduced on Feb. 14, which amended that amount to $400,000 and I will now read the amended ordinance #19-012,” Martin said. Fusaro explained the need for the change saying, “when our building department went into the building, they found some additional (state) requirements had to be done and that was the cause of changing the $240,000 to $400,000.” The revised ordinance was then unanimously approved. The council then introduced an ordinance authorizing the land sale of property on 2909 Wilbur Avenue. “That is on the south side of Route 70 near where the old little league games were and backed up to the Ocean County landfill. Wilbur goes across 70, this goes on the south side of the township. We will have a second reading at our meeting on March 9,” Fusaro said. Other items included a planning board determination as to whether an area within the township was in need of rehabilitation. Martin said this was property is on 2156 Route 37.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Help Student Learn About Our State Dear People of New Jersey, Hello! I am a third grade student in northern Virginia. Our class is learning about the United States, and I will be teaching our school all about the state of New Jersey. In the month of May, I will create a display for our State Fair that showcases the unique story of New Jersey and I need your help! Although I have gathered facts about your state from books and websites, I think that I can receive the best information from the people who live there. This is why I am writing to you. I am hoping that you would be willing to send me some items to help me learn more about the best things in your state. I am most interested in the history, traditions, and culture that make your state unique. You might consider sending things like postcards, photographs, souvenirs, this newspaper article, or unique items that I can

learn from. Some questions to consider are: • Why do you live in New Jersey? • What first brought your family there? • What do you like most about New Jersey? • What is your job? • What does New Jersey look, feel, and/or sound like? • What traditional food and/or recipes does New Jersey have? • What attractions are in New Jersey? • Who are the famous artists in New Jersey? • What is the most famous piece of artwork in New Jersey? I will need to gather all of my information by the ﬁrst week of May. You can mail items to the address below. I really appreciate your help! Sincerely, Aliana Ms. Lyons’ Class The Langley School 1411 Balls Hill Road McLean, VA 22101

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.

State Prepares For Coronavirus

From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy NEW JERSEY − Governor Phil Murphy, joined by State health and emergency management oﬃcials at the Regional Operations Intelligence Center, highlighted New Jersey’s preparedness measures amid the global novel coronavirus outbreak. New Jersey currently has no confi rmed cases of COVID-19. “As Governor, I am charged with safeguarding the health and safety of our residents,” said Governor Murphy. “My Administration is actively engaged in a multi-level, whole-of-government approach - from our hospitals, to our schools, to our ports - to implement a preparedness and response plan for the potential spread of the coronavirus in New Jersey. Together, we are prepared to respond properly and swiftly to any future individuals who meet the Centers for Disease Control guidelines for coronavirus testing.” “Although this novel virus in understandably a cause for concern, it is important for New Jersey residents to know that the risk to the general public still remains low,” said New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “We are working closely with the CDC and our public health and healthcare partners to ensure our preparedness levels for this novel virus remain high.”

The Murphy Administration continues to work closely with the CDC and local health partners to monitor the situation and will provide updates accordingly. On February 3, Governor Murphy signed Executive Order No. 102 creating the Coronavirus Task Force to coordinate all State efforts to appropriately prepare for and respond to the public health hazard of COVID-19. The Coronavirus Task Force includes key agencies including the Department of Health, Department of Human Services, Oﬃce of Emergency Management, Department of Education, Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Port Authority, and NJ TRANSIT. These agencies are critical in preparations for transporting and housing quarantined individuals, preparing schools and employees, and mass transit. The Task Force meets weekly to coordinate the State’s partnership with the Federal government and Newark Liberty International Airport to ensure effective communications. Governor Murphy also spoke with Vice President Pence regarding the state’s proactive preparedness efforts. As part of the preparedness activities, the Murphy Administration has prioritized communication with the public and launched a webpage with resources regarding COVID-19 (nj.gov/health/cd/topics/ ncov.shtml), including travel updates and advisories and guidance sent to health care providers, local health departments, infection preventionists, and other health partners. The Administration also opened

a hotline (1-800-222-1222) for the public to ask questions about COVID-19. The 24-hour hotline is operated by the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System, also known as the New Jersey Poison Center. The free hotline is staffed

with trained health care professionals and can accommodate callers in multiple languages. To date, the hotline has received more than 800 calls from the public and can accommodate callers in multiple languages.

Continued From Page 1 by AAA, where visitors were asked to complete certain tasks while wearing goggles that duplicate driving under the influence of marijuana. “Marijuana affects everyone differently,” said Frank Neary, traﬃc safety specialist for AAA. “These goggles take one piece of information away and you can see people

taking their time to make decisions.” Stephanie Galeana, Toms River High School North, was one of the students attempted the tests. She attempted to draw a line through a maze, and every time she went through one of the maze’s walls, Neary said “Crash, crash, crash…” “I didn’t know what I was doing,” Galeana said. At first, she thought the tasks were easy. Then, she took off the goggles and saw how bad she was doing.

Lacey High School students Jillian Gallicchio and Melissa Roake took turns wearing goggles that imitated the feeling of being drunk. “It was very disorienting. It was like I just woke up, and didn’t have my glasses on and also I fell out of bed,” Roake said. Two-time Super Bowl champion, former New York Giant David Diehl was the guest speaker.

ious local officials. He said there is an expiration date on athletics, and that a lot of athletes don’t know what to do with their life after their sport is over. They miss the camaraderie and being part of something that people cheer. “I was the oldest guy in the locker room at 33,” he said. “Your athletic career is not going to go on forever.” Some turn to opioids to give them a boost, or to kill the pain, and slowly it becomes an everyday thing, he said. These are people who are on your team and you rely on them for your safety, and they are under the influence. He encouraged people to do little things for others. Simply asking them how they are doing and listening to the answer can show a person that someone cares. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said that they are bringing back the Kimberly Smith Ames campaign. These were billboards placed on major roads showing a woman in a bridal gown. She and her unborn child was killed by a drunk driver in 1998. The Healthy Living and Education Expo was described as a “One-Stop-Shop” wherein the public could garner information on addiction, driving safety, healthy living, access to care, Diabetes prevention and patient education. The event included clinic services with screenings for glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol and free educational materials. Those who had questions were able pose them to the “Ask an Officer” program. Attendees were able to improve their health I.Q.by speaking with health professionals on-site and even able to make an appointment for care. Ocean County Public Health Officer Daniel E. Regenye, and 9th District Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf who serves as director of administration and program development, Ocean County Health Department were also present. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer and Ocean County Health Department Chief of Administrative Services Peter A. Curatolo were also present along with educators, elected officials, students, local businesses, law enforcement, RWJBarnabas Health, Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Hackensack Meridian Health, Atlanticare and members of the military. -Bob Vosseller contributed to this story.

The Goddard School Hosts Open House

TOMS RIVER – The Goddard School will be hosting an open house on March 14 from 9 to 11 a.m. The infant and fi rst steps programs offer caring and supportive teachers fostering social-emotional development through nurturing relationships with the children while babies develop physical skills as they learn to move and manipulate toys. As young learners begin to walk and talk regularly, their curiosity drives them to explore. The toddler and get set classrooms foster children’s developing independence by helping them hone valuable skills, such as the abilities to collaborate and communicate. In the preschool classroom, children develop perseverance by engaging in learning activities and sticking with them until they solve the problem or complete the project. Young learners continue their

journey of exploration and discovery in our pre-kindergarten classroom. Teachers help them apply their developing literacy and math skills through purposeful, planned learning experiences. The F.L.EX. Learning Program (Fun Learning Experience) is grounded in research on how children learn best: children experience the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun. It’s designed to help build each child’s emotional, academic, social, creative and physical skills to provide a well-rounded experience. The accredited, play-based curriculum is enhanced with a wide range of enrichment programs such as manners, fitness & yoga, music appreciation, computer skills, science & math and foreign & sign language.

People with perfectly normal hearing are able to hear and understand much of the sound around them automatically. They do not have to get help from lip reading. They do not have to concentrate. They do not have to stop what they are doing. They just hear. Someone with a hearing loss does not have the luxury of automatic hearing. If you have a hearing loss, you have to pay close attention, use lip reading when you can and concentrate. Hearing and understanding do not happen automatically. Hearing takes attention and energy and you just can’t do it 12 or 14 hours a day. Hearing aids allow you to hear better and that is great. But it may be just as important that hearing aids allow you to hear with less effort and energy. They allow you to be more relaxed as you communicate with the people around you. Of course, you cannot listen carefully full-time and there will be times when you do not hear as well as other times. You may not hear as well if you are tired, under stress or you

are thinking about something else. That is why we suggest that anyone speaking to you gets your attention before speaking. On the other hand, if you are ready and if you are paying attention, you can hear better than you really want to. You just can not do it full time. Actually, many people with hearing loss are able to hear and communicate surprisingly well in spite of hearing only 50 or 60 percent of the speech sounds. But, we live in a very demanding hearing world and sometimes anything less than 80 to 90 percent is just not good enough. If someone tells you, “Okay, I will see you on the 15th,” and you hear “Okay, I will see you on the 16th,” it was not enough to hear most of the message. So the next time someone says “you can hear me when you really want to,” you can correct them: “No, you mean I can hear you when I really work at it.” Remember, if have hearing loss, hearing takes attention and energy. You can do it 12 to 14 hours a day.

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.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Local Historical Society Debuts Renovated Exhibit Room

By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Historical Society will hold a grand opening of its newly renovated Birdsall Room from 1 to 4 p.m. this March 7 at its headquarters at 26 Hadley Ave. The museum will feature around 700 artifacts and 100 photographs. Volunteers have been worked alongside professional graphic artist and exhibit designer Stan Cain for almost a year to completely revamp the space that hasn’t been updated in decades. “This exhibit renovation is a great opportunity to have a space that can highlight the many historical events that have occurred in Ocean County over the years,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines. “I encourage everyone to come out and visit the Historical Society and learn about the county’s past.” Centering around New Jersey’s first inhabitants, the Lenape, the new exhibit will discuss major areas such as the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars, and the inter-war years in Ocean County, which will bring attention to the Hindenburg di-

saster that occurred in Lakehurst. There is also a portion about the Lacey Township’s Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, which is the oldest commercial reactor in the United States. One of the renovated artifacts that will be on display is an extremely rare turtle shaped decorative soapstone piece, which is believed to have been a symbol of the Unami clan of the New Jersey Lenape. In addition, there will be a map of Ocean County showing over 200 places where Native American artifacts were recorded. “This has turned out to be an exciting graphic and educational display of the impact of historical events experienced in Ocean County,” said Brian Bovasso who serves as the President of the Society Board of Trustees. “You will be both amazed and educated by the exhibits. Special thanks goes to Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station for its donation of beautiful glass display cases and to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly in bringing this renovation to fruition,” Bovasso said. “We know the public will be impressed when they visit.”

Ocean County Celebrates Its 170th Anniversary

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – This year marks a big birthday for Ocean County; it turned 170 on Feb. 15, having once been a part of its northern neighbor, Monmouth County. “We have spent almost an entire year updating our exhibit area showcasing the rich history of Ocean County. It’s certainly a timely achievement, in time

for the 170th Anniversary of the County,” Ocean County Historical Society President Brian Bovasso said. Bovasso said the society is holding a “Grand Opening” from 1 to 4 p.m. on March 7 at its headquarters at 26 Hadley Ave, Toms River. The event will feature exhibits focusing on many components of the county’s early history starting off

with “the First Inhabitants (the Lenape) and proceeding in a timeline around the room. We are expecting a large attendance at the opening.” “Certainly, Ocean County has seen great change since it was first created by a bill signed into law by Gov. Daniel Haines on February 15, 1850,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said.

“The new county had a population of just over 10,000. Only Little Egg Harbor Township and Tuckerton were not carved out of Monmouth County.” Ocean County currently has a population of almost 600,000 and is a big destination point for retirees in the state, vacationers and young families. Vicari noted that each Feb. 15, “Ocean County recognizes its Charter Day. It’s important we remember it as a key date in our county’s history.”According to county officials, the original charter of Ocean County was presented to the Board of Freeholders on Sept. 3, 1883 by Edwin Salter, a local historian. Unfortunately, that original charter was misplaced. The first official reproduction of the char ter was released more than 100 years later. The charter constitutes the jurisdiction of the officers and courts of Ocean County; the incorporation of the chosen freeholders; the authorization to erect a courthouse, jail and other county buildings in the designated county seat of Toms River. It also includes the apportionment of funds; the establishment of the Township of Brick; and the description of the boundary lines of Ocean County. Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines remarked that, “Ocean County is rich in history.” She serves as liaison to the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission. “The 1850 courthouse stands tall as the centerpiece of the county seat in downtown Toms River, while Courtroom 1 was restored to its historic beauty,” Haines said. Haines also noted that Cedar Bridge Tavern in Barnegat Township stands as a restored historic treasure that offers a unique window into the European experience in the New Jersey Pinelands. “From about 1740, a saw mill existed on the nearby branch of the Wading River and the town grew around the intersection of a major east/west thoroughfare and a southern route to reach Egg Harbor and Tuckerton,” Haines said. “Today, Cedar Bridge Taver n is a gateway to the post-industrial forests of the New Jersey Pinelands. Hundreds of students and adults tour the site each year. We take great pride in preserving our history here in Ocean County,” she added. Vicari who has had a long career as an educator, noted that the success of the future is often built on history. “For 170 years Ocean County has moved forward and over the course of time many of our residents played a key role in this country’s great historical moments.” “Whether they protected our freedom and democracy or they made a significant difference right here, their actions have stood the test of time,” Vicari added. For more information on Ocean County history visit the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission at co.ocean. nj.us/ch/ and the Ocean County Historical Society at oceancountyhistory.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of mar 7 - mar 13

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Follow your conscience. Devoting time to helping someone may not be easy, but in your heart you know that it’s probably the right thing to do. Don’t react too quickly to a problem, as it may correct itself. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Allow others to learn from their mistakes. Don’t be so overprotective of loved ones that you don’t let them have their own experiences. A chance meeting could start a valuable friendship. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sometimes things aren’t so obvious. Your first impression of a situation may be lacking some key elements, so consider withholding judgment until you learn more. Take good advice to heart. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Now may be a good time to relax. Working diligently toward a goal may not be worth it if you never set aside time to enjoy yourself. Treat yourself to some free time to do what you want to do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Anything you set out to do this week may result in resounding success if you remain committed. Other people could rely on you for sound advice and solid judgment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sometimes a little spontaneity is best. Giving in to a whim or buying something on impulse may allow you a needed change and give your spirits a boost. Set aside some extra time for loved ones. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Make an

effort to slow your pace. You might need all your energy for the coming week, so use today to simply chill out and relax. Mediate any family disputes quickly to maintain peace in your home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep your mind open for a hidden opportunity. What someone may consider worthless could be a treasure if given some time and careful attention. Be wary of those who come to you seeking a handout. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be your most understanding self. Be patient with those who may need help, as a few moments of inconvenience won’t hurt you. Listen to what others say even if it isn’t what you want to hear. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Boost your spirits by being around others. Discussing the future with a friend or loved one may help your confidence and provide incentive to move forward. Emotions might make it impossible to solve a problem. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you do a job, do it right. Fully commit to whatever task you decide to do today, as success will require your complete attention. If logic fails, following your heart may provide an answer. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Turn over a new leaf. Treat the coming week as a time to make a fresh start and approach things with a positive attitude. Gatherings with friends and family should resound with good vibrations.

Fresh Take: Celebrate The Coming Of Spring With A New Look At Asparagus By Wolfgang Puck

Spring is on the horizon. For many of us, it has seemed like a long time coming. So, when the weather starts warming up even a little, it really does feel miraculous - especially when new seasonal vegetables begin appearing in farmers markets, from locally grown asparagus to peas to the first fresh fava beans to tender, young leafy greens. In celebration, I’d like to share one of my favorite recipes featuring asparagus: a fresh-tasting, Japanese-inspired salad that my catering team and I recently served at the Governors Ball celebration following the Academy Awards ceremony just a couple of weeks ago. I find that bright, slightly sharp Asian seasonings like those featured in the dressing for this appetizer salad are perfect complements to the particularly fresh flavor of springtime asparagus, which can taste so much sweeter, milder and greener than the earthier flavor of the spears you find on sale year-round in many markets. Almost all of the ingredients are fairly easy to find. Bottles of sharp, clean-flavored, unseasoned rice vinegar are usually shelved in the vinegar section of most well-stocked markets. You’ll find rich-tasting, salty (yet mild and sweet) white miso paste, made from fermented soybeans combined with rice, in many supermarkets in both refrigerated and unrefrigerated forms; once opened, store it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for many months. Slices of sweet, spicy and tangy pickled ginger, the sort served alongside sushi, is sold in jars in many markets; and you can often buy small containers of it found alongside prepared packages of sushi in supermarket “grab-and-go” sections. The only ingredient you may find a little harder to locate is the sansho pepper, a packaged Japanese seasoning made from the berries of a shrub called prickly ash, which have a citrusy flavor. If you don’t have an Asian market nearby, buy it online; or just substitute a little ground Szechuan or black pepper. With all the ingredients on hand, you’ll find the recipe very easy to prepare. Take care to trim the asparagus, trimming off the tough ends and peeling any thick skin so you can enjoy as much of each spear as possible. And be sure not to overcook the asparagus, immersing it in salted boiling water for just 10 seconds or so and then, after draining, immediately plunging the spears into ice water to stop the cooking at the tender-crisp stage and keep the color a bright green that’s a perfect expression of the new season.

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 supe markets) 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.
