Route 88 Wawa, Daycare Center, Bank Denied

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – An application for commercial development at the site of the Laurelton Mobile Home Park was denied by the Board of Adjustment.

It was the third Board of Adjustment meeting for JSM @ Martin Blvd., LLC when their application for a Wawa convenience store and gas station, a daycare center and a bank was narrowly turned down.

JSM (Jack and Sheryl Morris) hired professionals – including an attorney, a land use expert, an engineer, a traffic expert and others – who completed their testimony during the meeting on the application for development

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The Jersey Shore needs every single dollar of funding from the federal Environmental Protection Agency, and cuts proposed by the Trump administration have the potential of undoing years of environmental protections in the state,

according to Congressman Frank Pallone (D–6th).

Past Little League Winners Have Advice For Holbrook

By Chris Christopher t’s an event that will result in a lifetime of memories--win or lose–for the Holbrook Little League All-Stars.

The team made it to the 71st Little League Baseball World Series in South Williamsport, Pa. They are in good company.

Two other teams from Ocean

County have gone all the way in the past.

The Toms River East American All-Stars, led by the sparkling all-around play of Todd Frazier (now the New York Yankees’ starting third baseman after starring at Toms River High School South, Rutgers University and two other major league clubs)

prevailed in 1998.

The Lakewood Little League All-Stars won the national title in 1975 when foreign teams were banned from play because of eligibility issues.

Pinelands Pipeline Protested, As Vote Approaches

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Environmentalists again protested the Southern Reliability Link proposed to be built in parts of Manchester and Plumsted, and county representatives again said that the issue is up to the Pinelands Commission.

The Southern Reliability Link has been proposed by New Jersey Natural Gas. It would run for 30 miles, starting with a connection to an existing pipeline in Chesterfield. The path of the proposed pipeline would travel through North Hanover, Upper Freehold, and Plumsted. Then, it would go through Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and Manchester Township. The line would run through existing rights-of-way.

The Pinelands Commission has already stated that the pipeline is consistent with the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan, a document that governs economic and recreational activity within the Pinelands. There is a fi nal vote on Sept. 8.

Environmentalists are concerned about the effect the pipeline would have on the natural land there, and the Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer beneath it. So, they came out to protest at a recent meeting of the Ocean County Freeholders. The Freeholders have an appointee on the Pinelands Commission, Alan Avery.

Carol Gay, of Brick, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress as the Democrat’s choice for the 4th District in 2006, asked for Avery to be removed for violating the Pinelands Preservation Act and voting against

the interest of the Pinelands.

“We think it’s time for the Ocean County Freeholders to speak up loud and clear to protect the Pinelands,” she said.

Barry Bendar, Green Party candidate for Freeholder, said there is “overwhelming opposition” from people in the area. Several environmental groups have come out in opposition of the pipeline, including the Sierra Club and the Pinelands Preservation Alliance.

Bendar also wanted Avery removed, and replaced using an open and transparent process.

Darren Burke, of Manchester, spoke about the value of the Pinelands.

“The Pinelands is not just an Ocean County gem, or a New Jersey gem, it’s a national gem. It took thousands of years for it to come to be. We don’t want to lose it in a few generations,” he said. He brought pictures of a similar pipeline, to show that it is large enough for people to go inside.

Marianne Clemente, of Barnegat, who up until recently was running for Barnegat Committee, said that Avery should be dismissed because he is not doing his job, which is protecting the Pinelands.

Raven Potosky, of Manchester, said that the reasons some people have been stating that the pipeline is needed are false.

The Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst leadership has gone on record as saying they need the fuel. Potosky said they are PSE&G clients.

Manchester went on record stating that

it is necessary, but they would not use it either, she said. Another reason for the pipeline is for resiliency after a major storm. But after Superstorm Sandy, gas was the utility most people still had.

Freeholder Joseph Vicari pointed out an article in The Manchester Times in which Mayor Kenneth Palmer said the pipeline will help service a large portion of Manchester residents. He also referenced a letter from Joint Base leadership that stated that they wanted the pipeline to help in their operations.

Can Freeholders Influence The Pinelands Commission?

This is not the fi rst time environmentalists have asked the Freeholders to step in and ask their appointee to vote against a pipeline. The county representatives have always given the same answer: “We cannot use our influence on anyone on an autonomous board,” Vicari said.

Vicari is running for re-election to the Board of Freeholders as a member of the Republican Party.

“It’s inappropriate for this board to influence or direct a member of the Pinelands Committee to vote,” said Jack Sahradnik, attorney for the freeholders.

County administrator Carl Block said that he was not aware of any way to remove an appointment like this. It also creates a bad precedent.

He didn’t want there to be a method “to remove someone if they are not voting the

way that you wanted. They would be under the threat of removal for how they voted.”

The Freeholders would not tell someone how to vote, Freeholder John Bartlett said.

Additionally, he trusts Avery to make the right decision. He’s known him for 37 years.

According to Avery’s bio on the Pinelands Commission website, he had been the Ocean County representative from 1983 through 2005, and was reappointed in 2013. He had held a number of county positions in the past, including business administrator. He currently fills many roles, such as a member of the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Advisory Committee and county planning board.

“He is a man of immense integrity,” he said. If he wanted to be reappointed for the position, he would endorse that.

According to the New Jersey Pinelands Commission’s website, it is an independent state agency whose mission is to “preserve, protect, and enhance the natural and cultural resources of the Pinelands National Reserve, and to encourage compatible economic and other human activities consistent with that purpose.”

Ocean County has three representatives on the Pinelands Commission. Avery was chosen by the Freeholders. The other two representatives are appointed by the governor: Lacey Committeeman Gary Quinn, a builder, and Bay Head Councilwoman D’Arcy Rohan Green, who is on the board of directors of Save Barnegat Bay.

Little League:

Continued From Page 1 power hitting and blazing fastball propelled Lakewood to immortality.

“Enjoy the journey,” he advised Holbrook, located in Jackson Township. “Have fun.

When it is all said and done, you are winners. I love this tournament. The kids get to have fun. There is their innocence.

There is pressure, but they don’t really feel it as it is all fun. There is more pressure on the parents than there is on the kids. The parents feel more pressure because every parent wants their child to succeed and get a hit. They don’t want their child to be the reason their team lost the game.”

Lowe watched Holbrook advance to the LLBWS with a win over the Maryland state champion in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament final on ESPN that cemented their placement in the World Series.

“I love Holbrook’s team spirit,” he said.

“I just think they are winners. Go out there and play ball. They took the sting out of that Maryland team. They understood once Holbrook put that seven spot - that crooked number - on the board that it was it. I am really pulling for them and I can’t wait to watch.”

Lowe credited Lakewood co-managers Dick Work and Butch Belitrand and coach Alex Edwards for keeping the team mentally sharp.

“We did not feel any pressure,” said Lowe, who pitched and played third base and shortstop. “They did a good job of keeping us on an even keel. They prepared us and worked our behinds off. We had no time to worry about pressure.”

Lowe, who resides in Atlanta where he works in the behavioral health field, said the coaching staff read the team telegrams to loosen it up.

“They expressed well wishes from all over the place whether they were from people from either Lakewood or Jackson,” he said. “They read them to us before we went to bed and that is why I don’t think anyone felt anything. The telegrams arrived on yellow pieces of paper. Our coaches had them in a stack. Everyone congratulated us for getting that far. It was best of luck stuff. It was really cool how our coaches tempered the pressure.”

Ken Kondek, an East American coach, offered advice for Holbrook.

“Just have fun,” he said. “For most of the kids, this is a once in a lifetime experience.

When I was in Williamsport, it was probably the best vacation I ever had. Enjoy it.

You will have memories that you will never forget. This group created a bond and that bond is still there. All of the boys still talk to one another. Todd texts his friends and they text him back. They are still in touch like it was yesterday.”

East American was managed by Mike Gaynor. Another coach was Joe Franceschini, whose son, Joe, was a team member.

“Our job as coaches was to keep the boys loose,” Kondek said. “Have fun, Holbrook, and enjoy the experience. You can only be 12 years old once in your life. How many times will you go to Williamsport as a player?”

The Brick Times, August 26, 2017, Page 5 East American’s starting catcher was Brad Frank, whose father, Bill, enjoyed a highly successful coaching career at Toms River High School East where he piloted the Raiders’ baseball team. The elder Frank said 10 family members attended each game in Williamsport where East American was 5-0.

“The key is for the coaches to keep it fun for the boys, especially at that age,” the elder Frank said. “Have fun, keep the pressure off and they will produce. I think Mike Gaynor did a good job with that. It was like it was magical. It was like something you see in the movies. Everything fell into place.”

“Coach Franceschini did a great job with the kids,” Kondek said. “He kept them loose. We jumped into the pool with them and played ping pong. Todd (the winning pitcher in the championship game) was our ping pong champion as he took on everyone. We played chicken in the pool. One reporter said, ‘You guys are in the pool and Japan (which lost to East American in the championship game) is out there practicing.’ We said, ‘OK.’ “ Rich Cunningham, an avid East American fan, also kept the team loose, donning a gorilla outfit. His attire resulted in the team being known as the Beast of the East.

“Casey Gaynor (a team member and a son of Gaynor’s) won a beast doll at the Eastern Regionals in Connecticut and it became our mascot,” Kondek said. “Rich was just a parent who was interested in the team. He did not even have a child on the team. All I know is that our kids had a lot of fun. Some kids got homesick and some did not, but that’s par for the course. The boys all bonded and it is still like one big happy family.”

Lakewood’s winning pitcher was Bobby DelConte, who offered Holbrook advice.

“Don’t lose and if you lose don’t cry,” he said. “Don’t be intimidated by what the other teams do or how big they are or whatever. We played against teams that had big kids. Just block it all out. You are there for a reason and you are gonna win. Say this, ‘We’ve come this far. Let’s win it all.

We did not come all of this way to lose.’ “ East American’s other team members were Scott Fisher, Eric Campesi, Chris Cardone, Chris Crawford, Mike Belostock, Gabe Gardner, R.J Johansen and Tom Gannon.

Also on the Lakewood roster were Richard DelConte, Gary Edwards, Marc Goldenberg, Kenneth Lawrence, Alex Mendez, Scott Moresco, John Reizer, Wayne Richardson, Scott Schulman, George Starr, Jay Teitelbaum, Richard Work and Paul Zabarsky.

The teams received numerous honors from the sports, entertainment, business and political arenas.

Teitelbaum, an outfielder, urged Holbrook to enjoy the tournament.

“Enjoy every minute of it,” he said.

“When you are between the lines on the field take it seriously and just realize you are going to remember this for the rest of your lives. They certainly should enjoy the surroundings of Williamsport and take it all in. Don’t let that pass you by. It was an incredible experience.”

Wawa:

Continued From Page 1 of the nearly 12-acre site.

As part of the application, occupied mobile homes would have been allowed to remain onsite but any that would be affected by the development would have been relocated to the rear of the property.

At one time, there were more than 100 homes there, but now only about 36 are occupied as residents have either moved or died.

Mobile home parks are allowed in the township under certain circumstances, which includes the pre-existing, age-restricted Laurelton Mobile Home Park.

According to board attorney Ron Cucchiaro, the project would require “a whole list” of variances, including a new minor subdivision permit for the relocated mobile home park.

The professionals testified that the variances were minor in nature and that township’s Master Plan envisions channeling commercial development into existing commercial areas, such as the area of the Laurelton Mobile Home Park which is in a B-3 zone.

Board members expressed concern about increased traffic and intersection congestion at the site, located on Route 88 and Jack Martin Blvd.

Board engineer Brian Boccanfuso questioned the professionals about turning restrictions in and out of the site, and expressed safety concerns about traffic entering and exiting onto an undivided highway.

About a dozen residents who live near the proposed development attended the meeting and several spoke during public comment.

Dennis Dryburgh, who lives about a mile from the site, said he passes it on the Route 88 side every day.

He said he did his own research showing that the Wawa gas station would service some 300,000 cars a year, based on national gas station statistics. “How do you alleviate that gridlock?” he asked.

Board attorney Cucchiaro said that the Board of Adjustment must permit for gas stations if certain conditions are satisfied.

“None of the conditions pertain to traffic,” he said. “We have to play by the rules. We

can’t deny an application for traffic, it’s not one of those regulated conditions.”

Cindy Shay of Laurelton Heights brought 46 photos she had taken of existing traffic and “dangerous curves” near some of the nearby strip malls on Route 88.

Shay, who is a retired pediatric nurse of 50 years, expressed concern for the safety of the children living in the area. “[The increased congestion] would be significantly detrimental, and very unsafe for school buses,” she said.

Cheryl Geisler lives about a half mile from the site, across Route 70 from Walmart.

“Is quality of life not considered by the board?” she asked.

The board attorney, Cucchiaro, said the board considers all the testimony that includes any negative criteria.

“That’s where quality of life gets picked up. We can’t consider traffic, and not because the board doesn’t want to,” he said.

Geisler said she didn’t understand why a Planning Board exists.

“I thought you were established to maintain the quality of life for residents?” she said.

Laura Docherty of Laurelton Heights said she had concerns about pollution from cars idling on the commercial site, the effect of the commercial development on the prices of nearby homes, and more.

“Do we need to leave Brick to have a quality of life? We can’t turn down the street to shop. We need to be concerned about our community,” she said.

After public comment, the board voted on the application. Board members Stephen Leitner and Mike Jamnik voted against the application. The remaining four members who were present voted for the application.

Member Carl Anderson was absent. The application would have needed five votes to pass, said Board Chairman Harvey Langer.

In March, the Board of Adjustment voted against another application for a Wawa convenience store and gas station and a drive-through restaurant to be located on 4.97 acres on the corner of Duquesne Blvd. and Route 70.

Dozens of Lake Riviera residents cited quality of life issues, including traffic and congestion concerns for the site during public comment on that proposal.

Disabilities Sensitivity Training Seminar

LAKEWOOD – Understanding how to help and accommodate anyone with a disability – wheelchair bound, difficulty hearing, problems seeing, among other impairments – is important for anyone who interacts with the public.

Luana Fahr, M.S. Ed, LDT-C, Director of the Academic Development and Support Center and disabilities officer at Georgian Court University (GCU), is presenting Disabilities Sensitivity Training, open to the public, on September 6 at 4 p.m. at the Strand Center for the Arts, 400 Clifton Avenue. Topics include disabilities etiquette, accessibility, and a history of laws, including those associated with employment of people with disabilities.

Fahr, the author of the book Living on the Right Side of Zero, and the article, “Accommodations in College: Leveling the Playing Field,” in Off to College magazine, addresses all student accommodation and modification requests at GCU, serves as an instructor of the course Professional Development and Disability, and is a member of the executive board of NJAHEAD (New Jersey Association on Higher Education and Disability).

A donation for the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) seminar is $10 per adult and $5 per students with ID at the door.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

NEW JERSEY – Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino and the Division of Consumer Affairs are urging seniors to avoid becoming the victims of phone fraud schemes and are providing a number of educational tools to help with the effort.

The Division offers brochures online to help consu mers ident if y scams and avoid them. Its latest brochure, Fighting Phone Fraud, also gives information on the federal Do Not Call Registry and how to sign up, along with ways to block robocallers.

The message of the brochures is simple: If you think the call you are receiving is a scam, it probably is.

Attorney General Warns Senior Citizens About Rampant Phone Scams

“Technology has made it easier for disreputable companies and criminals to prey on senior citizens with a simple phone call, often bullying or cajoling people to part with their money.

These types of scams are despicable,” said Attorney General Porrino. “We want to arm seniors with information to help them avoid becoming victims and also aid regulatory agencies and law enforcement to stop illegal activity before others are hurt.”

New Jersey law also prohibits telemarketers who have not registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs from calling any New Jersey resident, regardless of whether the resident is

on the national Do Not Call Registry or not. Violations of that law can lead to a $10,000 fine for a first offense and up to $20,000 for each subsequent offense.

“There are ways to punish scam autodialer calls in New Jersey, and we urge people who are being subjected to repeated calls to report these efforts to the Division of Consumer Affairs, said Steve Lee, Director of the Division. “Consumers should not engage these callers, but they should make sure to report the phone numbers.”

Those who wish to file a complaint can submit it online.

The scams outlined by the Division in its materials are

varied, but all seek either personal information or money. Here are some examples: A person posing as an agent of the Internal Revenue Service demands money for back taxes.

A person posing as a relative calls, saying he or she is in serious trouble and asks you to send money in order to help.

A person posing as a representative of your electric, gas or water service says that you owe it money and that if it’s not paid now, your service will be shut off.

A caller says he or she is getting in touch on behalf of Medicare or Medicaid and is seeking personal information because you need

a new card.

The advice for all of these is the same. Do not give money. Do not give personal information. Hang up immediately.

In order to limit robocalling and scam calling, consumers first should make sure their phone numbers, both land line and cell, are on the federal Do Not Call Registry, which can be done by phone at 888-382-1222 or online at donotcall.gov.

Unwanted sales calls also can be reported at this line.

Unfortunately, robocallers and scammers will still call.

Third-party services may be able to limit these calls. Information on those services can be obtained at fcc.gov/ consumers/guides/stop-un-

wanted-calls-texts-and-faxes#call-blocking-resources.

Consumers should also know that spam and autodialer text messages are illegal as well. If you are getting unsolicited offers for free merchandise or services via text, do not respond. Instead, report these messages by filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (complaints.donotcall. gov) or the Federal Communications Commission (consumercomplaints.fcc. gov).

In addition, if your wireless provider is AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint or Bell, you can report offending texts by copying and pasting the original text and forwarding it to 7726, free of charge.

Ocean County Offers End-Of-Summer Activities, Rain Or Shine

OCEA N COU NT Y – This area offers an array of intriguing and exciting indoor activities that make it easy to continue a great day of fun regardless of the weather.

“Ocean County is a destination that includes entertainment, history, educational activities and playful venues that will keep the dark clouds from disrupting your fun,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, the liaison to Ocean County Tourism.

For instance, Jenkinson’s Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach features oceanfront dining, arcades, a fun house and the spectacular Jenkinson’s Aquarium with its abundant sea life, penguins, tropical birds and more, providing an enriching indoor experience that is open all year long.

Additionally, on Arnold Avenue in Point Pleasant Beach, shoppers can enjoy classic “Main Street” boutiques, antiques and specialty shops, as well as cafés and various dining options.

“This is a great area to shop local and enjoy some of the vibrant small businesses that Ocean County has to offer,” Vicari added.

In Seaside Heights, indoor arcades are plentiful, and so are the restaurants and bars, both on the boardwalk and on the Boulevard. Many of these venues offer live entertainment depending on the day of the week and the time.

There are also many museums around Ocean County to satisfy the history buffs.

Two of the largest are the Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen’s Museum in Tuckerton, and the New Jersey Maritime Museum in Beach Haven.

As for the unusual, check out Insectropolis in Toms River. This unique ‘bugseum’ is home to thousands of insects to keep your kids dazzled and engaged when outdoor conditions are not the best.

For those who love nature and wildlife, Ocean County is an eco-tourism wonderland with classes

and programs for adults and children available at many of the 20 county parks.

“Although the county parks are wonderful in the sunshine, Cattus Island’s Cooper Envi ron ment al Center and the Jakes Branch Nature Center are both outstanding choices rain or shine,” Vicari said.

In addition, Double Trouble State Park features the Village Interpretive Center in Berkeley Township, which takes visitors back in time with a look at the history and village-life of the Pine Barrens. Other options include the Nature and Interpretive Center at Island Beach State Park, the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve in Tuckerton, The Lighthouse Center for Natural Resource Education in Waretown and the Barnegat Lighthouse Inter pretive Center in Barnegat Light.

Of course, theater lovers can also fulfill their craving for live performances at one of the many performing arts venues throughout the

county. The Strand Theatre in Lakewood, The Grunin Center for the Arts on the Ocean County College campus in Toms River and the newly re-opened Surflight Theatre in Beach Haven all have events for all ages

during the summer.

“There are plenty of activities available in Ocean County that move the fun indoors,” Vicari said. “Taking advantage of those days to explore all there is to offer here shows you can

never be bored at the Jersey Shore, even in the rain!”

EPA Cuts:

Continued From Page 1 demand protection for EPA funding.

In September, the House of Representatives will vote on a budget that would cut 7 percent, or $.5 billion from the EPA, which would “devastate the agency,” Pallone said.

The New Jersey coastal community would be particularly vulnerable, he said.

“It’s not too late,” Pallone said. The cuts were connected to the idea that jobs and the environment can’t go together, “but that’s totally false.”

“When I was elected to Congress in 1988, the beaches up and down New Jersey were closed because of garbage, toxic waste and medical waste in the water, and the state lost millions of dollars in jobs,” he said.

Pallone said he wanted to address off-

shore drilling, which President Trump has moved to expand, and would include areas left out by President Obama, which include the Atlantic Coast and U.S. Arctic waters.

“They feel they should be able to drill anywhere,” Pallone said. “They’re big on fossil fuels, but we should be focusing on renewable energy, like wind and solar.”

“The cuts are an effort to dismantle the EPA, and that would manifest itself in so

many ways,” he added.

Pallone said that Scott Pruitt, who Trump chose to run the EPA, does not consult with any of the agency’s employees.

“The EPA should be the most transparent department in government, because people have the right to know and to be empowered to learn and deal with pollution,” Pallone said. “The EPA has become a secret body, and that goes against the whole idea of environmental protection.”

Zach McCue, who represented Cory Booker, read a statement from the senator, who had a scheduling confl ict.

“The Trump administration values ideology and misinformation over protecting the environment,” he read.

Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, and his agenda is “taking our nation backwards.

We can’t sit idly by as the rest of the world addresses climate change. Enough is enough,” wrote Booker.

Brick Mayor John G. Ducey said cuts to the EPA budget would affect the health, safety and welfare of all residents.

Locally, EPA funds allow for the monitoring of the drinking water, the beaches, and the ground water that runs from the superfund site on Sally Ike Road.

“We have a superfund site because there was no monitoring and no care, because there wasn’t the knowledge. Now we have the knowledge, so the superfund site has been capped and redeveloped as a solar farm,” Ducey said.

Jeff Tittel, director of the NJ Sierra Club, said Trump has declared war on the environment with his budget cuts and it would have a disastrous effect in New Jersey.

Some of the programs that would be eliminated include pollution testing for coastal waters, the elimination of the National Estuaries Program, the elimination of climate, clean water and superfund programs, and more, he said.

“We are here today to say to President Trump, ‘hands off our environment.’

We’re here to stand up and say not anymore,” Tittel said. “No drilling off our coast. We want clean energy for a clean environment. Don’t turn science into political science,” he said.

Mayor Bill Curtis of Bay Head agreed.

“Offshore drilling would destroy our beaches. One oil spill would affect all ecological factions in our ocean. Cut other areas, not areas that affect our environment,” he said.

Other attendees included Ed Potosnak, NJ League of Conservation Voters, Point Pleasant Beach Mayor Steve Reid; Lavallette Council President Anita Zalom; Brick Councilman Jim Fozman; Cindy Zipf and Dave Pringle, Clean Ocean Action; Britta Wenzel, Save Barnegat Bay; Tim Dillingham, American Littoral Society; Doug O’Malley, Environment NJ; Junior Romero, Food & Water Watch; Sandra Meola, NY/NJ Baykeeper; Trisha Sheehan, Moms Clean Air Force.

NEW JERSEY – Do you have a shed full of dignified junk? Now might be the perfect time to dust it off, as Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and the rest of the team from the hit show American Pickers gears up to film episodes of the series in New Jersey this September.

The History channel documentary series explores the world of antique “picking” as Mike and Frank travel across the country to hunt for America’s most valuable relics, learning the unique stories behind them as they go. The pair aims to give these forgotten antiques, often

American Pickers is looking for people to be featured in the show and would love to explore the hidden treasures of local New Jerseyans. If you or someone you know has a collection of antiques that the Pickers can spend the day (or an episode) sorting through, send your name, phone number, location and a description of the items with photos to americanpickers@ cineflix.com or call 855-OLD-RUST.

Is Your Yard Jersey Friendly?

OCEAN COUNTY – Did you know that excess fertilizers are polluting our rivers, lakes and bays?

The chemicals in fertilizers wash into New Jersey’s waterways from hundreds of thousands of lawns in the state.

To have clean drinking water and healthy waterways for fishing and swimming in New Jersey, citizens of New Jersey need to find ways to keep those chemicals from getting into our waterways, including the Barnegat Bay. Learn how you can help at the new site Jer-

sey-Friendly Yards at jerseyyards.org.

Jersey-Friendly Yards was developed by the Barnegat Bay Partnership and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to help educate New Jersey residents about low-impact landscaping techniques.

The new site highlights ways that you can minimize fertilizer use at your home, and shows native plants that you can add to your landscaping that require little irrigation, are pest resistant and attract pollinators like butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects.

Rain Barrel Building Workshop

BRICK – A free Build a Rain Barrel Workshop will be held in the Windward Beach Park Gazebo, 260 Princeton Ave. on Saturday, September 16 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

In this free workshop, funded by a grant from the Barnegat Bay Partnership, participants will learn how to build their own rain barrel and how to set it up at home. All tools and materials needed for the workshop will be provided at no cost.

A rain barrel is used to collect rainwater from a roof, and is usually placed under a gutter’s downspout next to a home. They can hold around 50 gallons of water that can be used to landscape a garden. Collecting rainwater helps conserve water, prevents basement flooding and reduces pollution in rivers, lakes and streams in our communities.

Early registration is recommended, as class size for the workshop is extremely limited.

Contact Shari Kondrup at skondrup@brickmua.com or 732-701-4282 to register or get more information. Barrels should be able to fit in the backseat of most vehicles, and stand 34 inches tall and 25 inches wide.

The program is being offered as a partnership between the Brick Township Municipal Utilities Authority, Ocean County Parks and Recreation, B.E.A.R. (Boating Education and Rescue) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

The project lines up with Brick Utilities’ efforts to carry out the Metedeconk River Watershed Protection and Restoration Plan, which aims to preserve the Metedeconk River as a vital water supply for the region, protect the Barnegat Bay inlet and improve water quality.

Stormwater runoff has been identified as the main threat to the Metedeconk River, as it picks up pollutants from roads, parking lots, lawns and other areas in its path to local waterways.

The Metedeconk River is also the primary water source for Brick Utilities, which provides drinking water to more than 10,000 residents in Brick, Howell, Lakewood, Point Pleasant Borough and Point Pleasant Beach Borough.

Low Maintenance Landscaping Guide Available In Spanish

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Soil Conservation District (OSCSD) is pleased to announce that its publication “Low Maintenance Landscaping for the Barnegat Bay Watershed” (in its fifth printing) is now available for the first time in Spanish, in electronic format.

Gisselle Meza, a highly motivated student at Georgian Court University, dedicated over 200 hours translating the literature as part of her Service Learning course requirement. Efforts to coordinate the project were accomplished by Brick Township Municipal Utilities Authority (BTMUA). The Low Maintenance Landscaping guide is a comprehensive, yet user-friendly booklet that offers an 8-step process to designing a low

maintenance and environmentally friendly landscape appropriate for Ocean County’s sandy soils and unique conditions.

8 Simple Steps: 1. Proper Soil Preparation – Soil is the foundation of any landscape 2. Careful Plant Selection – Use native plants adapted to local conditions (jerseyyards.org) 3. Reduced Lawn Size- A small lawn is easier and less expensive to maintain 4. Minimal Watering – Water lawns and gardens only when needed 5. Mulching – Conserve water, reduce weeds, add organic matter to your soil 6. Limited Fertilization - Get your soil tested; follow the New Jersey Fertilizer Law

7. Proper Pruning – Pruning keeps plants healthy 8. Environmentally Friendly Pest Control – Invite “good” bugs into your landscape By thoughtfully managing our landscapes, we can all become stewards of Barnegat Bay and our local environment. Our landscaping and lawn care choices have a direct impact on our water quality and quantity, and our enjoyment of the natural resources of the area.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Smart Phone Connectivity Technology offers all of us the opportunity to do amazing things every day that would have been unimaginable even 10 years ago. The advent and popularity of smartphones, such as the iPhone, has made our lives more convenient to the world around us than it has ever been.

Our goal is to allow us an opportunity to connect people to the world around them in ways they may have forgotten, or never known in the first place; using the most advanced hearing technology available. Several hearing aid manufacturers including GN Resound and Starkey have developed hearing instruments which are iPhone compatible. What do patients like the most about this interactive breakthrough in hearing technology?

Here’s what we’ve gathered: The ability to stream phone calls,

music, videos, FaceTime calls, and Siri from you cell phone straight to your hearing aids.

The ability to make subtle adjustments for environmental changes with the touch of a finger, and that your iPhone remembers those settings, so the next time you return to your favorite places, you won’t need to make the same adjustments.

The ability to use your iPhone as an additional microphone during conversations-place it on a table at a busy restaurant and connect with friends, family, and other loved ones more clearly.

The ability to use your iPhone as a detector to find lost or misplaced hearing aids…GPS The convenience of all of these features in one handheld, easy-to-use device that you already carry with you

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Do Not Double Up On Fever Medication– Overdose A Serious Risk OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, said the flu is reaching epidemic proportions in the state and our county. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urges all individuals who think they are developing symptoms of the flu to reach out to their physicians so they may be able to be treated with antiviral medication to lessen the extent and length of illness from the flu. Early symptoms include sudden onset of fever, cough, muscle aches and headaches. It is important that people begin to take the antiviral medication within the first 48 hours of symptoms.

Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator, said that many people with the flu or flu symptoms turn to over-the-counter medicines to reduce fever and other symptoms of the flu. Regenye added, “There are many medications available for relief of their symptoms and the choice of what to buy and use can be confusing. Many of these contain acetaminophen, such as Tylenol, either alone or in combination with other medications.

There is potential danger when one takes more than one acetaminophen-containing product, takes more than the recommended dose or consumes alcohol while taking this product. Overdosing on acetaminophen can lead to serious liver injury – liver failure, liver

transplant or even death.”

Regenye continued, “Consumers do need to be aware that there is a recommended daily limit of acetaminophen; dosage recommendations are displayed on the pill or liquid medication bottle. The OCHD encourages people to always read and follow the directions on the label of each medication, whether it is a prescription or over-the counter product.

Make sure to double check that you are not ingesting two or more medications containing acetaminophen at the same time. When giving acetaminophen to small children (under 2 years old) parents must check with their healthcare provider for proper dosing instructions. Remember to never give a child an adult dose.”

The Ocean County Health Department encourages everyone to program the phone number of the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System (NJ PIES), 1-800-2221222, into their cell, home or office phone, where you can get information and help immediately, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Remember that every minute counts in emergencies.

The OCHD continues to offer flu clinics and you can find the schedule by visiting its website at www.ochd.org or calling 732341-9700, ext. 7515, or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like them on Facebook.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

What’s In Your Meatball?

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Imagine a large white bowl where you toss in the ingredients to make meatballs. You expect them to be delicious and juicy if you put in the following ingredients right?

Ground beef Bread crumbs An egg Chopped onion Parsley and garlic Salt and pepper That is the basic recipe. You mash that together with your hands, forming meatballs and then simmer them in spaghetti sauce. Does it turn out tasty every time? Perhaps in your kitchen it does.

Now let’s consider your health, and you are the meatball. I’ll show you the pharmaceutical equivalent of all these classic “ingredients” designed to get you healthy. Here goes: Ground beef = Sleeping pills Bread crumbs = Antidepressants An egg = Statin cholesterol drugs Chopped onion = Pain killers Parsley and garlic = Acid reducers Salt and pepper = Blood sugar pills What’s in your meatball?

The average “meatball recipe” consists of 13 medications per day. Does this recipe sound good? Many of you have agreed to it, whether or not it resonates with your personal health convictions. Do you feel foolish for wanting to use natural remedies? Do you worry that herbal extracts and vitamins are not approved by the FDA? There are many reasons you have become this meatball. Probably because 80 drug ads are aired every hour of every day, on American TV. One out of every three people asks their doctor

about drug commercials seen on TV. “My recipe above is slim, when you consider that the average person takes 13 medications per day.”

It’s not always due to careless prescribing practices. No fingers are being pointed here. In fact, many innocent mistakes happen because your medication list is not complete, or current at each doctor ’s office. Regardless, the mistake affects you and only you.

Mistakes are dangerous. Because we, as a nation, are so heavily medicated, I am confident this meatball recipe needs revisions. It needs a complete make-over immediately! Everyone’s so worried about heroin and other illicit drugs but do you realize that there are 10 times more deaths per year from improperly administered prescription medications?

Some people experience a sudden adverse reaction and get rushed to the Emergency Room. 106,000 people never get to go back home to finish what they were doing. You take it for granted that your pills are safe don’t you? Prescriptions are handed to you super-fast. Picture money shooting out of an ATM super-fast like that.

The intention of my blog is to force you to face reality and think about your future. I’m very aware as a pharmacist for almost 30 years, that some meds are necessary, but some are not.

It’s my responsibility to make sure you understand there’s a risk to taking every pill you take, just like a potential advantage. Your risk is understated at the time the prescription is placed in your hand.

Children May Develop High Blood Pressure

NEW JERSEY – Despite popular belief, teens, children and even babies can have high blood pressure, also called HBP or hypertension. It’s not just a disease for the middle-aged and elderly.

As with adults, early diagnosis and treatment can reduce or prevent the harmful consequences of this disease, including heart and kidney disease. This May, National High Blood Pressure Awareness Month and American Stroke Month, the American Stroke Association wants you to check your child’s health.

When it comes to blood pressure in children, “normal” is relative. It depends on three factors: gender, age and height. Your child’s doctor can tell you what’s right for your child, because “normal” is a complicated calculation based on these factors.

What leads to HBP in children? There may be many factors that can include: Diseases including heart and kidney disease Some medications Family history Excess weight or obesity

Race, particularly African-Americans are at an increased risk Visiting your pediatrician to discuss treatment options is vital in controlling HBP. As in adults, HBP in children is typically managed with lifestyle changes, including: Enjoying a heart-healthy diet Participating in regular physical activity Managing weight The doctor may also prescribe medication if an appropriate diet and regular physical activity don’t bring the high blood pressure under control.

Children and teens should also be taught the dangers of tobacco use and protected from secondhand smoke. While cigarettes aren’t directly related to high blood pressure, they do cause a number of health risks. Parents should set a good example by not smoking and educating their children about the hazards of smoking.

Give your kids the best possible start by helping them develop heart-healthy habits early. Learn more about raising heart-healthy kids at heart. org/kids.

Free Potassium Iodide Tablets For Those Near Oyster Creek Nuclear Plant

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department is providing free potassium iodide (KI) pills to people who live or work within a 10-mile radius of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station.

The free pills are being offered at convenient locations throughout the county or at the Ocean County Health Department in Toms River.

“KI is being offered as a preparedness measure and not in response to any imminent danger or threat. The tablets are being offered to those living or working in these areas: Barnegat Light, Barnegat Township, Beachwood, Beach Haven, Berkeley Township, Toms River, Harvey Cedars, Island Heights, Lacey Township, Long Beach Township, Pine Beach, Ocean Township (Waretown), Ocean Gate, Seaside Park, Ship Bottom, South Toms River, Stafford, and Surf City,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Health Department officials are asking residents to check their current supply to identify if their pills are due to expire in March 2017. Residents with pills expected to expire may bring their old pills and

trade them in for new ones.

Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, said, “Potassium iodide, an ingredient found in table salt, can provide protection for the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine and can reduce the risk of thyroid cancer after a nuclear emergency.

If this should occur, public health officials would tell you when to take the KI tablet.

Only one dose is recommended, more could increase the risk of side effects.”

Residents who wish to receive KI tablets must bring some type of identification to show that they live or work within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone area, such as a driver’s license, property tax record, utility bill, employee ID card or paystub.

One family member can also pick up tablets for all members of the family. All KI sites will distribute fact sheets that include dosage and any other applicable information.

If you have any questions regarding KI tablets and distribution, please call 732341-9700, ext. 7503. You can also visit the Health Department website at ochd.org, follow the Health Department on Twitter @OCpublichealth or like the Health Department on Facebook.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

How Do I Shake Off The Blues?

Dear Joel, Every now and then I get “The Blues.”

Nothing bad has happened and I’m still the same person today that I was yesterday – but sometimes I just feel blue. What can you suggest I do when I’m down about nothing?

Feeling Blue in Lakewood

Dear Blue, That question has been pondered by the great minds throughout the ages. There are lots of suggestions, but you really hold the key to finding your happiness.

Some people keep lists of the things they’re grateful for. Some people drown their sorrows with sad movies and songs, followed by a good cry, while others use exercise or physical activity like housework, and some turn to comedy. The thing you don’t want to do is indulge in destructive behavior, and turn to drinking, overspending or binging on any-

thing. You’ll only regret it later. Getting the blues is a perfectly normal thing. Some people, like writers and artists, even welcome them, because they bring up a whole different set of feelings.

One good way to beat the blues is to have a routine in your life, so that no matter what mood you’re in, you still walk the dog, spend a set time in prayer, housework, etc. Tackling these routinely scheduled tasks can both lift your spirits and remind you that tomorrow is another day. Now, if the blues linger you may want to seek professional help. But for most of us, they are just like storms that pass quickly to bring a beautiful tomorrow.

Inside The Law How Much Automobile Insurance Should I Purchase

Fresh From Our Farm To Your Table

The State of New Jersey has a comprehensive system of laws with respect to compulsory automobile insurance. The statutes require the owners of every automobile registered and garaged in this state to purchase an insurance policy that includes bodily injury liability coverage in the event someone makes a claim against them; uninsured motorist coverage should they become involved in an accident with an uninsured driver; and personal injury protection (PIP/No-Fault) coverage should they incur medical expenses following an automobile collision, loss of income or loss of essential services.

The two primary purposes of compulsory insurance are to provide prompt compensation to persons injured in automobile collisions and to ensure the existence of financially responsible persons to satisfy those claims. Thus, the law permits the owners of automobiles to purchase insurance to protect their own assets if they are sued by a person who is injured because of the negligent operation of their automobile (a “third party” liability claim) and to provide coverage to them, to resident family members and to occupants of their automobiles if they are injured in an accident caused by a person who is uninsured or underinsured (a “first party” UM/UIM claim).

Our insurance laws provide the owner of an automobile with a choice of three different types of policies: 1). A “standard” policy includes all of the liability, UM/UIM and PIP coverage required by New Jersey law; 2). A “basic” policy provides no liability or UM/UIM coverage and only limited PIP; and 3). A “special” policy is available only to persons who qualify for Medicaid and provides only limited emergency PIP benefits. I recommend that you purchase a standard policy.

A standard policy provides liability and uninsured motorist coverage with minimum limits of $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident; however, a policyholder has the option to purchase additional unin-

sured and underinsured Michael J. Deem motorist coverage up to $250,000/500,000 split limits or $500,000 single limit. I recommend that you purchase automobile insurance with liability and UM/UIM coverage in the amount of $500,000 single limit.

In addition, you should purchase a personal catastrophe umbrella with liability limits of $1,000,000. Some insurance companies offer an “umbrella” with UM/UIM coverage of $1 million. If your company does not offer this coverage, I suggest that you increase the liability and UM/UIM limits on your automobile policy to $1,000,000.

These recommendations are more than the minimum limits required by New Jersey law and more that the average policyholder; however, they will provide you with the maximum insurance protection if you are sued by another person or if you are injured in an automobile accident.

In addition to liability and UM/UIM coverage, standard policies provide PIP benefits with medical expenses up to $250,000 and a deductible of $250. The law provides a policyholder with the option to reduce the amount of medical expenses to as low as $15,000 and to increase the deductible to as high as $2,500. The amount of savings for either of these options does not justify the loss in benefits. Thus, I recommend that you reject all of the options and purchase the full PIP coverage provided by the standard policy.

The ownership of an automobile is a serious undertaking with serious risks and obligations. If you own a car, you must accept the responsibility to purchase an insurance policy that will provide you and your family with adequate coverage if you or they are injured in an accident and that will protect your assets if someone else is injured. Choose your insurance coverage wisely.

Please feel free to contact the attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free review of your automobile insurance policy.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

BUSINESS PROFILE DeGRAFF FUNERAL HOME Compassionate • Respectful • Flexible

DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home, Inc. 119 Union Avenue, Lakehurst, N.J. 08733 732-657-7868 Sherry T. DeGraff, Mgr. N.J. No. 3921 degrafffuneralhome@msn.com

DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home is family owned and operated. Founded

by Donald & Wanda DeGraff in 1979 in historic downtown Lakehurst. The building itself has a funeral history dating back to the early 1900’s. “Our father was the type of person who was so very compassionate and caring,” said Sherry DeGraff, Manager. “He was an entrepreneur, involved in a number of businesses, but his love was always for the funeral industry.”

DeGraff’s mother Wanda is still alive and “still our boss, even if she won’t admit it,” said DeGraff, and her father, Donald passed away in 2004.

Growing up with the funeral business surrounding her, DeGraff said she learned from an early age how to treat customers in their time of need. “You handle people in the same way you would want your own family handled, “said DeGraff. “You have to be a good listener, have a lot of compassion and be very flexible.

While the core values – compassion, respect and flexibility – have not changed for the DeGraff family, the trends in the funeral business have.

Years back, cremations were rare and some religious affiliations did not hold them in high favor. In 1990 the DeGraff family saw the future trends were leaning toward cremation, as a result, their daughter Sherry opened DeGraff Cremation Service offering a wide variety of cremation service options. The move towards more cremation represents the largest shift in the funeral industry. In fact, many consumers believe the cremation

itself is performed at the individual funeral home or cremation service they hired. This is not correct.

Crematories are owned by cemeteries. Most people are surprised when they hear that. Many people are unaware that cremation must be authorized by a spouse or blood kin under New Jersey State Law. This can cause undue stress for people who do not have a spouse or family.

In 2004, New Jersey law provides for the des- DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home has been family-owned and operated at 119 Union Avenue, ignation of an individual Lakehurst since 1979.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of august 26 - september 1

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Don’t make things more difficult than they need to be. There’s no need to tire yourself out trying to swim when floating with the current will get you where you need to go. It won’t take much effort to gain momentum this week.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): You can get farther with honey than with vinegar. A soft, tender approach may be what it takes to get a loved one to open up about their troubles this week. Don’t let rust set in; find constructive ways to utilize free moments.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It may be possible to take complete advantage of a situation but others may not appreciate it. In the week ahead find a solution in which everyone involved benefits.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cooperation is key. Finding someone who shares your enthusiasm and passion for a project will make the task that much easier. Making a minor sacrifice could create goodwill and help ease a stalemate this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pace yourself.

Take your time when tackling tough jobs as chipping away at the task a little bit at a time could preserve your stamina. Being in too much of a hurry to get things done this week leaves the door open for silly mistakes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Tag along for the ride. Pay attention when others offer advice and follow their lead when they take you into new and unexplored territory. Allow someone else to do the driving and you may gain valuable knowledge this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Rise to the occasion. Approach the tasks on your checklist with enthusiasm and your slate will be wiped clean before you know it. Don’t be apprehensive if a loved one tries something different to get your attention this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let dog days get you down. Plan a poolside barbeque with friends or take in an air conditioned movie to beat the summer heat. Ask for advice when faced with decisions regarding business and finances this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Accentuate the positive. You’ll never progress if you focus on the negatives of an issue. Put your energy into what you know will work as the week unfolds. Keep in mind that others are monitoring your performance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t beat around the bush. Being hesitant or over thinking could work against you, so just follow your gut instinct and go for it. Maintain an open mind about a romance this week and you could be pleasantly surprised.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Follow your whims. Do what feels right or pleasing to you this week even if it may not be practical. A friend or loved one may provide encouragement if you your imagination run wild and conjure an artistic creation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Winning isn’t everything. In the week ahead remember that the most important thing about competition is to have fun and enjoy yourself. If it could, your body would thank you for some quality time out in the fresh air.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Berry Well: Enjoy The Final Days Of Strawberry Season Making This Classic Shortcake Recipe

By Wolfgang Puck We professional chefs can sometimes feel the pressure of having to come up with new, delicious dishes that will get people talking and make them excited about returning to our restaurants. After all, if we served just the same old familiar recipes, their attention might turn elsewhere.

But sometimes, as the saying goes, the oldies are the goodies. Especially when you want to show off a main ingredient that is at its peak of season, the simplest, most classic treatment can be the best way of all to prepare it - and your guests will rave about the results.

Take strawberries, for example. We’ve entered the last few weeks of strawberry season, when the heart-shaped red fruit is full of unbelievably sweet juice that tastes like it has soaked up every drop of summer sunshine. What should you do with berries like that, beyond just eating them straight out of the box as you walk or drive home from the farmers’ market? Do you make strawberry ice cream, compote, souffles or preserves? Those all sound delicious, of course, but anything that involves crushing strawberries can seem like an insult to perfect specimens right now.

The best answer to me is to showcase the berries in a classic dessert that’s almost synonymous with the fruit: strawberry shortcake.

Freshly baked, tender, sweet biscuits made with butter, cream and eggs provide a perfect canvas for the berries, highlighting their flavor and soaking up every drop of their juices. Add a dollop of cold, softly whipped cream and you’ve got a dessert that’s perfectly balanced in its tastes and textures, and utterly beautiful in its contrasts of colors and shapes.

You may wonder, though, how a well-known chef and his culinary team make their version of strawberry shortcake different than the rest.

What’s our twist on the classic in the version from my Wolfgang Puck Catering team? The truth is, our twist is simply that there isn’t any.

We don’t add any special ingredients to the shortbread mixture; it’s as straightforward as those made by home cooks a century or more ago. We don’t add little strips of citrus zest or a splash of aged balsamic vinegar to the strawberries (though, if they aren’t at their sweetest, you could be forgiven for adding just a touch of sugar). We don’t even sweeten the whipped cream, because that would compete with the berries.

You might say it’s a minimalist dessert. But it’s elegant; the culinary equivalent of a man wearing nicely cut tuxedo or a woman in an exquisitely simple black dress.

I hope you’ll try this classic yourself soon, while fresh strawberries are still around.

(Or try it with sliced peaches, nectarines or plums!)

CLASSIC STR AWBERRIES -AND CREAM SHORTCAKE Serves 4

SHORTCAKE: 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 large cage-free egg 1/3 cup (85 mL) heavy cream 4 ounces (125 g) unsalted butter, well-chilled, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces, kept cold Milk, for brushing the shortcakes STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM: 1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream, chilled 1 pint organic, ripe strawberries, hulled and cut lengthwise into halves or quarters depending on size 4 fresh mint sprigs, for garnish, optional Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).

Meanwhile, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg and cream. Set aside.

Add the chilled butter pieces to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the butter resembles flattened walnuts, about 2 minutes. Turn off the machine and add the wet ingredients; then, mix on low speed again just until the dough comes together.

Dust a clean work surface with flour and scoop out the dough onto the floured surface.

With clean hands, fold and flatten the dough over itself to form a uniform square.

Dust the dough with more flour and, with a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a uniformly thick square slightly larger than 6 by 6 inches (15 by 15 cm).

Using a 3-inch (7.5-cm) cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds, placing them on a nonstick baking sheet. Brush their tops with some milk and sprinkle generously with sugar.

Bake the shortcakes in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; then, rotate the pan back to front in the oven and continue baking until the shortcakes are deep golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and leave to cool to room temperature.

To assemble, whip the cream in the stand mixer or with a hand-held mixer until it forms soft peaks that droop when the beaters are lifted out. Do not overmix.

With a sharp, serrated knife, carefully cut each shortcake horizontally in half. Place each bottom half on a serving plate.

Generously spoon whipped cream over the four bottom halves of shortcake. Divide the strawberries evenly over the whipped cream.

Place the top halves of the shortcake on top.

Serve immediately, garnished with mint sprigs if you like.
