Freehold Regional District Fights Against School Funding Cuts

By Kimberly Bosco FREEHOLD – Freehold Regional High School District officials are urging members of the community to advocate for a change to the school funding cuts outlined in Senate Bill 2 (S2).

A letter issued to the district community by FRHSD Superintendent Charles B. Sampson states that S2 plans to reduce the district’s state funding by 50 percent over the next couple of years.

“In essence, Senate Bill 2 (S2) reflects the state’s belief that the taxpayers of the Freehold Regional High School District are undertaxed by nearly $20 million, and that the state will no longer subsi-

dize communities who are not paying their ‘Local Fair Share’ – an arbitrary calculation that we will continue to challenge,” read the letter.

S2 will require major cuts to the budget each year, Sampson added.

The letter stresses the impact of these cuts on the programs and services that the district provides to its students, including academics, athletics, bussing, and others.

“I want to assure you that we are advocating for this community in every way possible,” stated Sampson.

FRHSD is joining forces with numerous other local school districts, including Jackson Township Schools, Brick Township Schools, and Toms River Regional (School - See Page 4)

According to several sources on Celtic life, bagpipes were thought to originate in ancient Eg y pt, and were brought to t he Br it ish Isles by Roma n infantry, although others say it’s an Irish import.

Capitol Comments Senator Robert W. Singer 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell

TRENTON - A trio of bipartisan bills sponsored

by Senator Robert Singer (R-30th) that aims to improve the health and well-being of mothers before, du r i ng, and af ter pregnancy unanimously passed the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee.

The bills’ passage comes in the wake of a state and national health emergency:

African American mothers are dying both during and after childbirth at disproportionately higher rates than white mothers, with some of the most staggering rates occurring right here in New Jersey.

“New Jersey’s high maternal illness and death toll are disturbing, particularly for African American mothers,” Singer said. “We must take action to fix this

The Histor ic Preser vat ion Tax Credit will serve to

revitalize and fully realize the potential of New Je r s e y’s s t o r ie d c it ie s and towns.

Bills Would Make Pregnancy, Delivery, And Postpartum Period Safer deadly crisis. This requires a comprehensive approach of prioritizing maternal health during pregnancy, childbirth, and throughout the postpartum period.

Enacting this legislation package will reduce preventable deaths and ensure more New Jersey mothers and babies leave the hospital happy and healthy.”

The first bill, S-3374, would expand postnatal coverage up to a year after birth for eligible women on Medicaid. According to the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC), the number of deaths of new mothers in the weeks and months following pregnancy are steadily increasing in the United States. Similar bipartisan legislation has been proposed in Texas.

Singer’s resolution SR-126, would urge the federal CDC to adopt a uniform data system to collect information on maternal mortality. The U.S. maternal mortality rate is ranked 50th in the world behind other developed counties.

The third bill advanced

by the committee, S-3404, would require the State Department of Health to create a best practices manual for maternity care to be implemented in hospitals and ambulatory care facilities. The bill provides a $950,000 appropriation from the New Jersey General Fund. A similar program was enacted in California with overwhelming success.

Sen. Singer has been a longtime advocate of improving maternal care in the Garden State. In 2017

his resolution to create an annual “Maternal Health Awareness Day” in New Jersey was signed into law.

“In developed countries like the United States, pregnancy shouldn’t be a matter of life or death,” Singer added. “I will continue to fight for maternal health, and to secure quality care for all women and families. This is a great bipartisan effort to improve medical care throughout the state. I hope these bills will advance as soon as possible.”

Safety Grants Available For Local Fire Depts

quate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grants, which help increase the number of firefighters and first responders to provide our communities with more security,” Smith said.

“As we have already seen, this grant program has strengthened our district’s local fire departments and volunteer organizations in the past.”

The SAFER grants - $350 million in total, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) - will go to local fire departments and volunteer organizations across t he cou nt r y for recruiting, training, and ret ai n i ng more “ f rontline” firefighters to deal with fires and other emergencies in their commu-

nities. The SAFER grant applicants are judged on the criteria of hiring, recruitment and retention of firefighters.

Fire depar tments and local volunteer organizations can begin applying for grants now through Friday, March 22 at 5 p.m. ET. Fi r e d e p a r t me nt s i n Smith’s district have received SAFER grants in

the past, including the Trenton fire department in fiscal years 2010, 2012 and 2014. Those SAFER grants helped the Trenton f ire department avoid layoffs for about 60 firefighters.

Also, in September of 2017 the Middletown Township Fire Department received a $136,675 SAFER grant to hire more trained firefighters.

Tax Incentives Would Help Investors Revitalize Historic Buildings

“H istor ic prese r vat ion tax credits have helped ot her st ates preser ve and utilize their historic buildings. These beautiful str uctures are often hidden in plain sight and are waiting for the right investor. We are here to help with that.”

“The Historic Tax Credit Program proposed by Governor Murphy would be a powerful tool for revitalizing New Jersey’s

urban centers while uphold i ng it s stor ied past,” said New Jersey Economic Development Authority CEO Tim Sullivan. “The proposed p r og r a m’s t h ou g ht f u l , t argeted approach will help to ensure the kind of i n n ova t io n -fo c u s e d investment that will spur sust ai nable econom ic activity.”

“Preser vation of historic sites like 50 Spruce St reet cont r ibutes to o u r s e n s e of c o m m u -

Bill Pascrell, New Jersey’s only member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

“A Historic Preservation Tax Credit will help to revitalize our cities and tow ns th rough spu r red econom ic development and the creation of local jobs. I want to than k Governor Murphy for selecting my hometown of Paterson for this special

announcement, evoking m e m o r i e s of t h e S i l k Cit y’s i ndu st r ial root s while acknowledging its bright future. Establishment of this tax credit is a bold and positive step for our state and I will continue to f ight tooth and nail for its protection on the federal level.”

Thirty-five states currently offer such a program. The proposed Histor ic P reser vat ion Ta x Credit is part of a larger package of five proposed tax incentive bills.

County Scientists’ Tick Study Published in National Journal

TINTON FALLS – A study written by two Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division scientists, Dr. Robert Jordan and Dr. Andrea Egizi, analyzes 11 years of data collected by the Division’s Tick-borne Disease Program, has been published in a national peer-reviewed scientific journal run by the Public Library of Science (PLoS).

“It is great to see the hard work being done by the Division nationally recognized, showing that Monmouth County is at the forefront of tick surveillance, collection and identification,” said Freeholder Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the County’s Mosquito Control Division. “In fact, Monmouth County is the only county in New Jersey with an established tick surveillance program.”

The research summarizes the results of the Program’s free tick identification service offered to County residents since 2006. A County resident submitting a tick for identification completes a form asking questions about the tick encounter, including the resident’s age and gender, where and when the tick was found and what the resident was doing at the time of the encounter.

After submission, residents receive a report describing the tick species, life stage and engorgement level. The findings can indicate the risk of potential tick-borne disease trans-

mission and provide important information for clinicians as needed.

Program scientists analyzed data provided by residents along with information about each tick to better understand tick encounters in Monmouth County. Researchers sought to answer who is getting bitten, by what species of ticks as well as when and how these tick encounters may change over time.

“Studies such as this, as well as field monitoring, assist the County in educating the public and developing management strategies to reduce tick encounters and the diseases they may transmit,” said Freeholder Kiley.

The research published in PLoS One, a multidisciplinary Open Access journal that publishes high quality, peer-reviewed research, is available free to the public.

County residents are reminded that ticks are active on winter days over 40 degrees.

Ticks are found in leaf litter, low shrubs in wooded areas and forest edges. It is important to use repellents and check for ticks when participating in outdoor activities at home, parks or trails.

Photoshop Your Face With Collagen Protein

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

For centuries people, especially women have been trying to solve the problem of looking youthful past middle age. It’s very difficult because after four or five decades, our face, skin, hair and nails really show the signs of aging. Our skin feels dry, hair gets finer or falls out and there’s an obvious loss in firmness and elasticity of the skin. The laugh lines and crow’s feet get deeper and deeper. Even the fingernails become weaker and break.

Of course, declining estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels cause the signs of aging to become more noticeable, however, hormones aren’t entirely it. The key to looking younger is having plump cells that retain moisture. Also, keeping the matrix underneath our skin intact rather than crumbling.

You can do this if you have enough collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. Today my focus is collagen.

You’re born with an abundance of collagen.

If you were to take of all your skin and weigh it, 80 percent of the weight would be collagen.

That percentage declines by about 2 percent every year after 30 years of age.

Collagen ‘photoshops’ you! That’s why when you were younger, you had lovely firm skin, soft hair and strong nails. Your face looked plump and vibrant. The most dramatic reduction of collagen happens in the first 5 years post-menopause, when women lose about 30 percent of our natural collagen stores. The decline continues over the years, although it’s more gradual.

One day you look in the mirror and you look older than you thought. And then when

you get our bed in the morning, you feel pain and stiffness in your joints. That’s because collagen is in your cartilage, and when it’s depleted you feel the pain.

There are hundreds of supplements of collagen in today’s global market, but there are things you should know about first before trying it. You should be very cautious about the kind of collagen you buy because some aren’t the correct type. I can send you a video about collagen if you’re interested. Collagen can be sourced from cows, pigs, birds, fish scales and more.

Some brands don’t get absorbed through your intestinal lining, and others don’t have healthy ratios of the amino acids. Maybe they are low in hydroxyproline or they don’t have vitamin C to activate it. To learn more you can watch my video at suzycohen.com/ collagen-video.

When restoring collagen, keep in mind you want tiny particles so the little peptides can get into your cells. The reason for this is so that you can produce the collagen intracellularly.

Collagen is a big protein like a long chain that consists of links. The links are amino acids.

There are five different types of collagen, named Type I, II, III, IV and V. Type II is what supports joint and cartilage health while Type I and III are beautifying for the hair, skin and nails. I have some videos about collagen, and how to choose the best kind for your needs.

Nowadays, you can supplement with collagen shots, powders, drinks and facial serums.

These products are available nationwide.

CentraState Earns Chest Pain Accreditation From The American College of Cardiology

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP—The American College of Cardiology (ACC) has recognized CentraState Medical Center for developing and sharing quality practices that optimize the care and outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome. CentraState was awarded ACC Chest Pain Center Accreditation in December 2018 based on a rigorous onsite evaluation of the staff’s ability to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack, along with demonstrating ACC best practice guidelines for patients with acute coronary syndrome are in practice.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 730,000 Americans suffer a heart attack each year. The most common symptom of a heart attack for both men and women is chest pain or discomfort. However, women are more likely to have atypical symptoms. Other heart attack symptoms include, but are not limited to, tingling or discomfort in one or both arms, back, shoulder, neck or jaw, shortness of breath, cold sweat, unusual tiredness, heartburn-like feeling, nausea or vomiting, sudden dizziness and fainting.

Unfortunately, in many cases, early warning signs and symptoms are often ignored. As a result, CentraState has committed to educating and collaborating with EMS, educating the community on early heart attack care (EHAC) and Hands-Only CPR, and created a dedicated observation unit in the hospital’s emergency department for the acute coronary syndrome patient to receive diagnostic cardiac testing and patient education. The goal is to educate the community about early heart attack care to inevitably shift the care from treating to preventing a heart attack.

CentraState earned the ACC Chest Pain Center Accreditation after demonstrating that it had streamlined its systems from admission to evaluation to diagnosis and treatment all the way through to appropriate post-discharge care and recommendations and assistance in patient lifestyle changes.

Hospitals receiving Chest Pain Center Accreditation from the ACC had to take part in a multi-faceted clinical process that involved completing a gap analysis, examining variances of care, developing an action plan, a rigorous onsite review, and monitoring for sustained success. Improved methods and strategies of caring for patients included streamlining processes, implementing guidelines and standards, and adopting best practices in the care of patients experiencing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack.

“We are proud of the ACC’s accreditation because it is a testament to our commitment to providing quick and efficient care to save the lives and improve outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome,” said Laurie Gambardella, administrative director, Emergency Services, CentraState.

“At CentraState, we make it top priority to give patients the tools they need to make significant lifestyle adjustments in order to reduce their chance for another heart event in the future.”

Inside The Law Home Inspections Are An Important Part Of The Home Buying Process

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Peace of Mind and Heart Before, During and Beyond Timothy E. Ryan Owner/Senior Director N.J. Lic. No. 3103

Serving Ocean County for Over 50 Years

By: Dina M. Vicari, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

The process of home buying can be overwhelming. One major concern of all buyers, whether they are a first time home buyer or an experienced real estate investor, is the condition of the home. Certainly, the home may have new rugs or paint and updated countertops, which makes the home aesthetically pleasing. However, more important is the age and condition of the major operating systems, such as the furnace, air conditioning units and electrical panel. Also, does the home have any structural concerns such as foundation cracks or roof leaks, which are not readily visible.

Even more concerning, are there any environmental concerns, such as mold or asbestos that would impact the ability to safely reside in the home. All of these concerns can be fully investigated by a certified home inspector, thereby giving a home buyer the necessary information required to make a wise home purchase.

A home inspection should always be performed by a New Jersey Certified Home Inspector. Always confirm that the home inspector that is hired has the proper training, sufficient expertise and a flawless reputation.

Many times your realtor can provide referrals and work with the home inspector to schedule the inspection. There are several types of home inspections, of which a buyer will have to decide which ones best serve them. The first is the general home inspection to ensure the structure and major operating systems are all performing properly. The second is a termite/wood destroying insect inspection, wherein the inspector will check for signs of active or pass insect activity. Finally, there is a radon inspection, which checks the level of radon in the house. Radon is a radioactive gas

formed by the breakdown Dina M. Vicari Esq. of radium, which occurs naturally in some areas.

Radon can accumulate in the home, which is not safe for the residents.

In addition, if the house utilizes a septic system, well water or oil for heating, the buyer may want to further seek out a specialist to ensure that these essential systems are in compliance with all applicable laws and service the home safely. Also, if the home had a septic or oil removed at some time in the past the potential new home buyer may choose to have tank scans or soil testing to confirm that there is no contamination.

Continue reading our follow up articles related to these important home buying tips.

Future articles will review the post inspection process of further investigation of governmental records associated with the home, obtaining contractor estimates, and the negotiation process with the seller for repairs or credits.

We at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

NEWARK — Newark Police Captain Ivonne Roman has been selected as a TED Fellow, joining a class of 20 change-makers from around the world to deliver a talk on the TED stage this April in Vancouver.

Roman was selected for her work to improve the recruitment and retention of women in policing through the use of evidence-based practice and mentoring.

Roman said, “Women make up just 12% of police officers in the United States, yet research since the 1970s shows that women are invaluable to police departments and communities. Countries like Canada, Australia, and the UK have significantly higher rates of police women and New Zealand is seeking gender parity by 2021; we can and must do better.”

Roman explains: “By far, the biggest barrier to increasing representation of women in policing, is arbitrary fitness standards that vary from state to state. Research evidence informs our work, which shows women can achieve police required fitness levels, when the training design is grounded in the science of physiology. The US Marshalls, FBI, DEA, ATF and the United States military fitness programs are designed to test fitness without causing disparate outcomes based on gender.

However, there is no uniformity among the 18,000 police agencies in the United States, contributing to low levels of women in policing and limiting the pool of qualified applicants. The Women’s Leadership Academy, a program of the Newark Police Superior Officers Association, is working to address gender disparities in recruitment and retention of women in police academies through advocacy and mentoring of women preparing for careers in law enforcement, filling a gap that currently exists in police recruitment efforts.”

“We are thrilled to announce the newest class of TED Fellows, who give voice to some of the most exciting ideas we’ve seen in the program’s 10-year history,” said TED Fellows director Shoham Arad. “This year’s class includes a police captain designing systems to support women in policing, a space environmentalist building technology to monitor space debris, and an artist exploring the

ethical implications of emerging technology.

The Fellows program is committed to using its resources and platform to help scale Fellows’ ideas and impact, and we are so excited to have these Fellows become an integral part of our global community.”

Founded in 2009, the TED Fellows program has 472 Fellows from 96 countries, whose talks have been viewed more than 250 million times overall. In its ten-year history, the TED Fellows program has created a powerful, far-reaching network made up of scientists, doctors, activists, artists, entrepreneurs, inventors, journalists and beyond.

As a TED Fellow, Captain Ivonne Roman joins a community that includes Perry Chen, the artist who co-founded Kickstarter; Amanda Nguyen, the activist whose organization RISE helped write the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights, which passed unanimously through US Congress; and Essam Daod, the psychiatrist who founded Humanity Crew to provide psychological aid to refugees.

The TED Fellows has also yielded a wide variety of collaborative projects, including PEEK, the social enterprise that recently raised a $1 billion fund to eradicate preventable blindness in the developing world; BRCK, the technology company that builds mobile WiFi routers that can work anywhere, even in the harshest conditions; and Fine Acts, the international collective bringing together artists and activists to instigate social change.

Applications for the 2020 TED Fellows class will be open later this year. Interested applicants should visit the TED Fellows program website for information and updates about the fellowship: ted.com/participate/ ted-fellows-program/apply-to-be-a-tedfellow.

The Women’s Leadership Academy was established within the Newark Police Superior Officers Association by its President, Captain John Chrystal, in response to high female attrition rates in Newark Police academy classes. The project is funded by the Open Society Foundation, Implementing the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing program.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of feb 23 - MAR 1

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): IImpose your will. There is nothing that you can’t achieve in the upcoming week if you simply set your mind to it. Roll up your sleeves and tackle tough assignments with determination but avoid starting anything new.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Just tag along for the ride. Someone may insist on being the star of the show, but it might be your timely advice that makes all the difference. Your personal agenda may be temporarily put on hold this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Follow someone else’s lead. Unconventional thinkers may show you a whole new way of solving tough problems.

Surround yourself with movers and shakers this week and their know-how may rub off.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Strive for perfection. Take criticisms to heart as you should never be so content that you stop trying to improve your performance. Have confidence that you will succeed, in the upcoming week, and it will be so.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Small steps add up to big progress. Saving a few pennies here or there can eventually yield a surplus or whittling away at a tough task a little bit at a time can make it easier.

Talk things over with your partner.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Those who refuse to bend may break. Avoid being too rigid with your demands as it may be difficult to make progress without compromise. Make sure you are looking at reality instead of what you want to see.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Start from scratch. It may be necessary to employ sweeping changes over the next few days to clear out an annoying obstacle. Make sure that everyone involved is on board with your decisions during the week ahead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stay focused on your objectives. You hold all the cards in negotiations, but little will be gained unless you are completely sure of what you want. Take time to mull over your options as this week unfolds.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ambition may come at a cost. You can have it your way this week but take care that your methods don’t rub someone the wrong way. Find creative solutions that are beneficial to everyone involved.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Clear the air.

Make an extra effort to explain your intentions or goals as being too vague may only create unnecessary confusion. Don’t assume that close friends or loved ones know what you’re thinking.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If something is broken, fix it. Don’t hesitate to make changes if you are dissatisfied with how a situation is progressing as your intuitions serve you well. New friends may figure into your future plans.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Clear your responsibilities and clear your mind. Checking those nagging chores off your to-do list will allow you to focus on what you really want to do. Friends will be glad to do favors or support you in the week ahead.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen I Cannot Tell A Lie: This Cherry-Chocolate Bread Pudding Is A Low-Fat Treat

By Wolfgang Puck

Presidents Day has always puzzled me a bit, for two reasons.

Officially, the holiday has been observed on the third Monday of February since the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, created to give workers more three-day weekends, was passed into law by the U.S. Congress in 1968 and then took effect three years after that. But did you know that no U.S. President’s birthday actually ever falls on President’s Day? That’s because those of the two Chief Executives who are jointly celebrated on the holiday - George Washington (Feb. 22) and Abraham Lincoln (Feb. 12) - along with two more born this month (William Henry Harrison on Feb. 9 and Ronald Reagan on Feb. 6) fall either too early or too late in the month to ever land squarely on the third Monday.

Still, the day feels like a special occasion to remember Washington and Lincoln. And, like most holidays, it typically includes food as part of the observance. Which leads to the other thing that makes me scratch my head, as I’ve mentioned before at this time of year: the cherry pies that some people make on Presidents Day. Whether or not you believe the old, probably apocryphal story about young George Washington admitting to chopping down a neighbor’s cherry tree with the words, “I cannot tell a lie,” cherry pie simply doesn’t make sense at this time of year.

Cherries are a summer fruit, and the tart ones that work best in pies have a shorter season, generally from late June to early August, depending on where they’re grown.

So making a cherry pie for President’s Day seems odd to me, especially considering the fact that doing so would usually require you to use watery and less flavorful frozen cherries or overly sweet and gloppy canned pie filling.

Fortunately, there is another form of the fruit that I think is wonderful to enjoy year-round: dried cherries. They have a deliciously concentrated, tart-sweet flavor, a deep ruby color and a delightfully chewy consistency similar to that of raisins or dried cranberries. Of course, they would be too dense and intense to make a cherry pie from them. But I think you’ll enjoy this form of the fruit in another popular dessert that’s perfect for wintertime: my low-fat chocolate bread pudding with dried cherries.

My health-conscious recipe substitutes egg whites for some of the whole eggs typically used in bread puddings, and tangy low-fat buttermilk for the usual whole milk or cream. Yet, it achieves a satisfyingly rich flavor and consistency - all while deriving less than a third of its calories from fat. And I cannot tell a lie: It’s delicious!

LOW-FAT CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING WITH DRIED CHERRIES

Serves 8 to 12 1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk 2/3 cup (165 mL) good-quality bitte sweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 4 large egg whites 2 large eggs Nonstick cooking spray 4 slices good-quality whole wheat bread, about 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick, trimmed and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes 6 tablespoons dried cherries 1 cup (250 mL) plain nonfat Greek yogurt, for serving Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting In a saucepan, combine the buttermilk, chocolate chips, 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the granulated sugar, and the cocoa powder.

Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and sugar have melted and the mixture is well combined. Remove from the heat.

Fill a large bowl with ice cubes and water.

In a slightly smaller bowl, using a hand mixer or wire whisk, beat together the egg whites and eggs until lightly foamy.

Beating continuously, slowly sprinkle in the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and continue beating until the mixture looks fluffy. Then, whisking continuously, very slowly pour in the chocolate mixture. Set the bowl inside the larger bowl of ice water to chill.

Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Fill a pan or kettle with water and bring to a boil.

Spray the inside of a 4-by-9-inch (10-by22.5-cm) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Spread half of the bread cubes in the baking dish. Scatter in the dried cherries and then top with more bread cubes. Stir the cooled chocolate-egg mixture and spoon it evenly over the bread cubes. Leave to soak until the oven has reached the desired temperature.

Place the baking dish inside a larger baking pan with high sides. Pull out an oven rack and place the baking pan on the rack; carefully pour enough of the boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the side of the baking dish. Carefully slide the rack into the oven.

Bake the bread pudding until the custard has set, about 20 minutes.

Carefully remove the pan from the oven, and remove the baking dish from the pan to a rack.

Serve hot, lukewarm, or cooled and refrigerated, cutting into 8 to 12 portions.

If you like, top each portion with a small scoop of nonfat Greek yogurt and dust with a little confectioners’ sugar before serving.
