By Patricia A. Miller BERKELEY – The Gowdy Bog at Double Trouble State Park didn’t look much like a cranberry bog recently. It looked more like a lake. That’s because the main bog at the state park off Pinewald-Keswick Road in Bayville was still flooded from the winter. But sometime soon, the water will be drained, so the cranberry plants can get some sun. By October, the bog will be studded with scarlet cranberries, waiting for the fall harvest. But whether a harvest takes place remains to be seen. Cranberry harvests at Double Trouble
have been a problem for some time now. The last partial cranberry harvest at Double Trouble was in 2012, when Deptford-based Honest Berries took over. But the harvest was never completed, after Superstorm Sandy slammed into Ocean Count y on Oct. 29, 2012, Unfortunately, no leaseholders have stepped up since then. The cranberry plants now share space with a n eve r-i nc r e a si ng amount of weeds. The berries go unpicked during the fall. Visitors to the park are not permitted in the cranber r y bogs.

By Patricia A. Miller BERKELEY – Police and township officials are ramping up their “See Something-Say Something” campaign in the wake of major drug arrests on April 29 in a Holiday City South home. “This will be in addition to the Berkeley Township Police Department “Tip Line,” Police Chief Karin T. DiMichele said. “It should be noted that the tip line has proved positive, as concerned citizens have alerted police which has led to multiple investigations and arrests.” In fact, it was Berkeley residents’ tips that led to the arrest of five persons, four of whom listed (Drugs - See Page 5)

Cranberry:
Continued From Page 1 The bogs can be viewed from the marked nature trail, according to the DEP’s website at State.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/ double.html. The state Department of Environmental Protection each year since 2012 has advertised for leaseholders, with no success. This year, whether there is a harvest depends on the DEP. DEP officials are still evaluating, which may include a new request for proposal for cranberry harvesting at Double Trouble, said DEP spokesperson Caryn Shinske. “If there are interested parties, they should reach out to the Division of Parks and Forestry for more information,” she said. Although the native Americans may have been the first to pick cranberries at the park, the actual cranberry business culture begin during the Civil War. Double Trouble became one of the largest cranberry operations in the state by the early 20th century, when Edward Crabbe of Toms River purchased roughly 1,000 acres in 1904.
He cleared the Atlantic White Cedar swamps after the trees were cut down and converted the swamps into cranberry bogs. The Gowdy bog, the most visible bog at the park, was one of them. The Crabbe family owned and operated the Double Trouble Company until 1964, when they sold the land to the state. Leaseholders took over the maintenance and harvesting of the bogs, until after 2012. Roughly 200 acres of the park is the Double Trouble Historic District. Many of the original buildings from the Double Trouble Company - including the schoolhouse, store, cabins for workers and the sawmill are still there. The historic district was placed on the state Register of Historic places and the national Register of Historic Places back in the late 1970s. Daniel Crabbe, Edward Crabbe’s grandson, has discussed Double Trouble at historical societies and libraries in Ocean County many times. The Double Trouble bogs need to be maintained each year so the cranberry plants can get enough sun. Weeds have to be removed and bogs have to be sanded too, he has said.

Continued From Page 1 their address as a Wojtyla Court home - the home where the arrests took place - for possession and distribution of a “large” quantity of crack cocaine on April 29, the chief said. Drug paraphernalia and a substantial amount of cash was also found by the SWAT team. “This operation was the direct result of concerned citizens relaying their concerns to police...” the police department’s Facebook page says. The Wojtyla Drive house was owned by the mother of Michelle Lanzieri, one of the women arrested in the drug bust, Chief DiMichele said. “No neighborhood is immune,” the chief said. “The country and state as a whole are in the grips of an opioid epidemic that shows no discretion for age, gender, race or economic status. “Our township and our senior communities are still safe and are great places to live,” DiMichele said. The bottom line is, if you live in a senior village and see something unusual going on, notify the police. “The people living here are the best sources for the police depar t ment,” said Township Councilwoman Judith Noonan, who is an official in the Senior Coalition in the township. “Many seniors are aware of what is going on in their neighborhoods. We all know who should be in our neighborhoods and who shouldn’t. If you see someone who looks
The Berkeley Times, May 11, 2019, Page 5 suspect or a situation that just doesn’t look right, please report it to the police.” Noonan said anyone who owns or rents a home in one of the senior villages is required to fill out a form listing who is living in their home. The renters must sign also, she said. “As long as they are a certain age, we can’t say no,” Noonan said. But none of the five arrested at the Wojtyla Court house was 55 years old, the minimum age for someone to buy a home in one of Berkeley’s senior villages. Four of them listed the Wojtyla Court home as their address. Arrested were Taquan Pearson, 37, Wojtyla Court, charged with possession of cocaine and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Nicole Vorhees, 48, Route 9, Bayville, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Lynsay Leitner, 39, Wojtyla Court, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and issued a $350 warrant for failure to appear. Edwin Nieves, 42, Wojtyla Court, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Michelle Lanzieri, 52, Wojtyla Court, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Drug dealers often use homes in senior communities because they offer anonymity in quiet neighborhoods and a false sense of security, according to Berkeley detectives. Police called the Wojtyla Court home a “major supplier” of narcotics in Berkeley. The “See Something - Say Something”

Shoulder Pain in the Overhead Athlete

By: Joel Maietta, DPT, Facility Manager
houlder pain in the overhead athlete is a very common complaint. Considering the fact that separation forces in the shoulder during throwing can equal someone’s own body weight, it is no surprise that pain can occur. This activity requires a combination of strength, coordination, synchronicity, and body control. Because of these factors, shoulder pain is often seen in athletes of all ages as well as any adult who may decide to throw a ball just one time. During a physical therapy evaluation for shoulder pain from throwing, there are multiple parts of the body that need to be assessed. These include shoulder motion, shoulder strength, shoulder blade strength, core strength, as well as lower body strength and flexibility.
can be used to improve this motion to limit injury risk. If this balance does not exist, injuries can occur to decrease throwing pain. In addition to motion, the tendons in including rotator cuff tears, labrum your shoulder known as the rotator tears, and ligament tears. Some of cuff need to be strong and stable these injuries may be severe enough to allow a proper throwing motion. to require surgical repair.
A thorough physical therapy evaluation can assess limitations in all the above areas. An exercise program can then be created to In conjunction with your rotator address these impairments and cuff, it is also necessary to have allow a return to pain-free and proper strength of your shoulder proper throwing. blade, known as your scapular JOEL MAIETTA, DPT stabilizers.

They control the “ball” in the “ball and socket” of your shoulder and without proper strength and stability you can have a shoulder injury while throwing.
Core strength is also an important component of proper throwing form and to decrease injury risk. Core strength, along with lower body strength and flexibility allow the proper distribution of forces along the body as to not stress the shoulder more than necessary.
and went on to receive his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Quinnipiac in 2010. He has completed clinical rotations in acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and outpatient orthopedic settings.
When you throw a ball your arm has to cock back in a motion called “external rotation” and then Joel’s clinical interests include postcome forward in a motion called surgical rehabilitation as well as manual “internal rotation.” If the internal therapy techniques for the spine and motion of the shoulder is limited extremities.

Continued From Page 1 keep people away. There were about 742 people who showed up to shop, 325 of them in the first 10 minutes, said Sue Masoorli, chair of the plant sale. They come looking for unusual plants you won’t find in the box stores. Funds raised through the sale support the Master Gardeners for the rest of the year. By noon, the first drops started to fall but that was OK because customers had practically cleaned them out by then. Some people are looking for creating havens for wildlife, said Mary Townsend, co-manager of the greenhouse. There were a lot of salvias for hummingbirds, Agastache for bees, and milkweeds, which are the only plant that monarch butterflies will lay their eggs on.
There were some plants that were created this year by growers, like senecio “angel wings,” a small succulent with broad, graywhite leaves. The “sunfinity” is unusual among sunflowers in that it has more than one bloom. The “ember’s wish” salvia debuted from an Australian breeder that donates proceeds to that country’s MakeA-Wish Foundation. And every plant grown was chosen based on how well it grows in this climate. Susan Servidio, horticulturalist and Master Gardener coordinator, “Some people have a list and some just see what looks good,” she said. Most of them are local, but through conversation, she learned that some of them came from pretty far away. It was also the first year that they accepted credit card payments, so that helped with people making big purchases.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E ditorial What Do Our Towns Need? Toms River township h istor ia n a nd ret i red Township Clerk J. Mark Mutter researched some old newspapers for this week’s edition of The Toms River Times. He found that the local paper, the New Jersey Courier, made a list of what the town needed in 1869. It stated: “We want a town clock. We want a steamboat to New York. We want a larger school house. We want a public library. We want free public schools. We want the village of Toms River to be incorporated. We want a rail road along the shore.” In 1890, they still had a list of demands that included large hotels, a fire department, and “Capitalists to put up houses and boom the town for all its worth.” A year later, they were asking for a better water supply, better roads, a public wharf, clean streets and better schools. It made me wonder: what would that list look like today? A lot of items on the wish list were physical – a library, a rail road. We have certainly built up a lot more since then and there aren’t too many physical things we need. Several of those things are perennial. We all want better roads, and a better water supply. Most of the necessities we already have (schools, etc.) it’s just a matter of how to
maintain them. We have volunteer fire and first aid squads, but there’s little in the way of new blood volunteering and many are going to paid services. Some towns have a clock. I don’t want to speak on behalf of the entire region, but I think it safe to say we need: • A homeless shelter. Doesn’t have to be huge. But it should be near services and jobs. More jobs. It’s not enough to create com mercial zones and hope for the best. We need to entice employers to the area so that people aren’t commuting to work 30 or more minutes a day. And these jobs need to be able to pay a livable wage for the area. • An office park. See above. • A tech center. There’s a brain drain going on where anyone who graduates with an advanced degree move elsewhere. • More open space. The county has reported that about half of the county is open space. That said, more open space. • Lower taxes. I think this goes without saying, but there are a lot of padded positions in municipal and county government that get paid a lot more than their work entails. Every supervisor could take a 10 percent pay cut and still be rich, while saving residents a lot of money. That’s my list off the top of my head. What do you think your town needs? Chris Lundy News Editor
Correction
In the May 4 story “Central School Budget Not Hurt By State Aid Cuts,” a period got turned into a comma. This is not a big deal normally. But when it is in a number, it changed the amount Berkeley residents would be paying for the 2019-2020 school year from $939.60 into $939,600. The smaller number is correct. We regret the error.

Speeding Is Unacceptable In Howell We have a dangerous speeding problem on our residential Addison Road in Howell and, for years, have addressed letters to past mayors, the traffic unit sergeant, council members, and the present mayor, Theresa Berger. Enclosed is a letter recently sent to the President of the Monmouth County Chiefs of Police [Scott Patterson]: “As residents of Addison Road in Howell, we are
appealing to you for help. There has been absolutely no change in the excessive speed of cars on our street. In fact, the blatant disregard for the posted speed limit has worsened.

to those driving the speed limit. Road rage is both a dangerous and frightening concern. It would be horrible if a tragedy occurred as a result of this problem. But again, is this acceptable? There is no indication that the police chief has set up inconspicuous radar to address the problem. Why is Addison Road a residential street where excessive speed has been continuously ignored for a very long time? Does the police chief call this protecting the community? Or perhaps because this is simply acceptable. We have no answers. Chief Patterson, as President of the Monmouth County Chiefs of Police Association, we are asking that you use your influence to help us. Perhaps there is an underlying reason why our concerns for the safety of our children have not been addressed. We, as residents, know it is not possible to catch every speeding car, truck, or even school bus that blatantly ignores the speed limit. But there must be something that can be done. If the chief can allow three and four officers to eat lunch at Aldrich Pizza and Chick-fil-A together, then there is obviously not a shortage of officers available to radar. The most serious times are between 7-9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to approximately 8 p.m. Monday-Friday, as well as miscellaneous times over the weekend. It is obvious our road is used as a fast shortcut for many drivers. The excessive speeding on Addison Road will never be acceptable to its residents. Past letters have been addressed to the chief and mayor; however, they have yielded no results. We appreciate any help you could give and than k you for this consideration.” Residents of Addison Road Howell

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Roads, Bridges In Ocean County Need Federal Funding From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. –The following is testimony from Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) submitted to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee as part of their “Member’s Day Hearing,” which allows all members of Congress to provide guidance on infrastructure priorities in their district. “It doesn’t matter where in the world you are, if you meet someone from New Jersey that finds out you’re also from our state, you’ll be greeted with the same question: which exit? “‘Which exit’ isn’t just a question of geography, it’s a statement that our infrastructure helps define us. It’s a reminder that our transportation systems aren’t just what get us from point A to point B, but what deliver us from the present to the future. “As we look at the future, it’s hard not to examine our past. Years of neglect from Washington and increased use across our state have led to an infrastructure system that faces massive challenges today. “A recent report from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association showed that in my district alone, there are 44 structurally deficient bridges and another 155 in need of repair. “What does that mean for
the people I represent here in Congress? It means when they exit the New Jersey Turnpike on Exit 5 and go north to Route 130, they drive over three structurally deficient bridges. Just one of those bridges, over Pompeston Creek, has nearly 68,000 trips per day. “That means tens of thousands of parents trying to get their kids to school are doing so on a bridge that is a direct danger to their safety. It means tens of thousands of people trying to get to work are doing so on a bridge built when Calvin Coolidge was president. It means tens of thousands of seniors trying to get to their medical appointments are doing so on a reminder of Washington’s failure to improve our basic infrastructure. All of this happens over the course of an average day in New Jersey. “For these parents, working people and seniors, the basic infrastructure that delivers us to the future in New Jersey isn’t just the paved roads of the Turnpike and Parkway. It’s not just our state roads and city roads that connect our homes to our businesses, schools and communities. It’s our public transit, sea and airports that connect us with the rest of the country and the rest of the world. “If we are going to build connections – from commu-
nity to community, from exit to exit, from New Jersey to the work and from the present to the future – we must build the infrastructure to make it happen. “No family in Cinnaminson should be endangered because of a bridge that is deemed unsafe. No business owner in Toms River should face the challenge of roads that make it difficult to move goods and grow jobs. No senior should miss a medical checkup because they were failed by public transit. “We need a robust and bold infrastructure package that reflects the bold aspirations of the people I’m proud to represent. The benefits of bold action aren’t just felt by Democrats or Republicans. “Building a new overpass over Route 539 won’t just help Democrats or Republicans, it’ll help make our Joint Base more secure and a stronger economic engine for our region. Fixing water infrastructure in Bordentown won’t just help Democrats or Republicans, it’ll make sure our children can drink from the faucet without fear. Expanding broadband access won’t just help Democrats or Republicans, it’ll make our businesses competitive in a global marketplace. “These are benefits that will be felt across our state, regardless of your party or your exit. I’m proud to stand up for investment in infrastructure because every exit should be one that leads to the future. I call on this committee and this Congress to take immediate steps to make that investment and ensure that the future is truly bright.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Fear Of Planes
Dear Joel, I have a problem that I hope you will be able to help me with. I have been married to my husband for 30 years as of this May and he has a phobia of flying on planes and we just booked our first vacation in almost ten years to Italy. At first, he was okay with the fact that he was going to have to get on an airplane, but last night he told me we should cancel. What should I do? I don’t want this to sound selfish, but I really want to go on this vacation. Marissa Lake Como, NJ Dear Marissa, Thank you for reaching out to me about this issue. First off, Happy Anniversary. Secondly, please do not think that you are selfish because you most certainly are not. You got excited for a vacation that has been planned for a long time and now that the date is approaching,
there is a possibility that it won’t happen so your disappointment is totally normal. As for your husband not wanting to fly on planes, I would remind him that it is very normal to be afraid of flying, but despite what you hear on the news, flying is very safe. I have flown overseas many times and find that the service is much friendlier too because it’s such a long flight. I would also tell him to bring a computer or a phone onto the plane and play some games to get his mind off of being on a plane. I hope this helps. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

–Photo by Chris Lundy Kamryn, Kassidy, and Kenzie Lovelady of Toms River identify skins of local animals at the Cattus Island Nature Festival. By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – You might be surprised at the diversity of plants and animals in Ocean County. They might not be in your back yard, depending on where you live, but deer, fox, and a lot more are in the wooded areas, and there were ways to learn about them at the Cattus Island Nature Festival. Centered around the recently revived Cooper Environmental Center, the festival was a way for families to learn more about the world around them. Live animal demonstrations complemented the tanks of animals on display. Exhibits and games were set up to teach people how to identify furs, shells, and other artifacts. Around the center were tables set up for art projects. Local groups like the Potter Creek Crusaders or Master Gardeners had information booths. Woodworkers and other crafters sold their wares.
Outdoor activities such as archery and seining were organized. So was kayaking, but it was a little too windy that day so that event was cancelled. The 4-H organization had a few young people showing the animals they cared for, hoping to teach people how to take care of hamsters and rabbits because they make really good pets. For 39 years, the festival has provided people with an appreciation for the natural world in the county. It was also an opportunity to learn about Cattus Island County Park. Nestled off Fischer Boulevard, it’s almost 500 acres of trails and waterways. It gets more than 2,000 visitors a year, but there’s always room for more, said park naturalist Nicole Vernachio. “Once they come here, they become repeat customers,” she said.

Team Science: Hearing Help & Hope…
Did you know? People and organizations worldwide are putting funding, expertise, and dedication toward learning more about hearing loss for continued innovative solutions and a possible future cure. Here are three exciting developments: GENETICS Professor Xue Zhong Liu, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Depa r t ment of Otola r y ngolog y, won a $3 million grant last summer from the National Institutes of Health toward continued research on hearing-loss-related biological treatments and clinical diagnosis. Per a university news release, the professor and his team will use the award for activities such as performing “preclinical studies of gene- and cell-ba sed t he r apy approa ch of CR ISPR /Cas9-mediated genome editing to t reat hearing loss.” * We’re looking forward to seeing the outcomes of this initiative. NOISE In a collaboration among the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, and the Department of Defense Hearing Center of Excellence, researchers will probe the potential long-term effects of both excess noise exposure — one of the most common and preventable causes of hearing loss — and certain chemicals on
active-duty personnel and veterans. The Noise Outcomes in Ser vice Members Epidemiology study will follow participants for some 20 or more years, collecting and analyzing data on hearing and tinnitus issues and other changes. TINNITUS Speaking of tinnitus, a common and sometimes debilitating issue often associated with hearing loss and typically involving ringing, buzzing, or other perceived noise in the ears: The British Tinnitus Association, in partnership with Tinnit us Hub, has awarded University of Groningen Ph.D. student Elouise Koops a research grant through its Daniel Ballinger Memorial Fund to study auditory-pathway changes brought on by tinnitus and hearing loss. The award is relatively small — 5,000 British pounds (about $6,400) — but it contributes to the global hunt for much-needed answers. These are three exciting developments: As science continues making headway, remember that HELP IS AVAILABLE TODAY! If you’ve experienced changes in your hearing or it’s been a while since your last checkup, please call our caring team at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) for your appointment now!

The category of ADHD medications such as Concerta, Adderall, Ritalin, Dexedrine and others are “stimulant” drugs, and so is caffeine. They all raise certain compounds in the body such as dopamine and norepinephrine (and others). Here are 5 reasons why i think this is a good option for some of you: 1. Most all medical treatments for ADHD include a nervous system stimulant, which may sound strange to you, considering the patient appears to be overly active, wound up or unfocused. But this is true, conventional treatment of ADHD utilizes physiological stimulants. Caffeine is a stimulant. 2. A study published in the European Neuropsychopharmacology, concluded that caffeine can normalize dopamine levels (which is exactly what the pharmacy drugs do). Caffeine raises both dopamine and norephinephrine, just like the medications. 3. There was a study that evaluated caffeinated tea. They concluded that “The caffeine in tea can reduce one’s fatigue, increase people’s self-confidence, motivation, alertness, vigilance, efficiency, concentration, and cognitive performance.” 4. So profound is caffeine’s impact on the brain and cognitive function that Stanford University even funded a small study to evaluate if dextroamphetamine is superior to caffeine in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). 5. Caffeine has been shown to extinguish the action of adenosine receptors in your brain. This was discussed in a 2014 review article published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology which recommended the use of caffeine for ADHD.
Just like methylphenidate, caffeine begins to work in about an hour, and as you might expect, the effect wears off after about four hours. Both methylphenidate and caffeine are absorbed and physiologically processed in a similar way. Their mechanism of action is the same, as are the side effects! One is a prescription amphetamine drug, the other is America’s favorite hot coffee! The downside is that caffeine can wear out adrenals if taken long-term. Caffeine content varies with each food and beverage making daily dosing through diet somewhat difficult. With tea, the amount of time that you steep the teabag determines the caffeine content. Some people find that caffeine helps their ADHD, while others find that it doesn’t offer any benefit at all. Pay attention to your body and work with your doctor/therapist to find out what is right for you. Too much caffeine or excessively high dosing on stimulants medications may cause insomnia, tachycardia, aggression, diarrhea and dehydration. The intake of caffeinated drinks, caffeine pills or energy drinks containing caffeine or guarana may seem like a nice and exciting alternative to prescription medications, I just want to caution you that if combined with conventional (amphetamine) medications, the impact could be dangerous. As an aside, many studies point to DHA Fish Oil as a useful essential fatty acid, which may be taken with medications or caffeine. How much caffeine is too much? The United States FDA hasn’t fully defined this but the Canadian government has suggested not to exceed 85 mg in kids aged 10 to 12 years.

Where parents have minor children, they often want to establish trusts in their Wills for the benefit of the minor children in the event that both parents should pass away. In such a case, the money is held in the trust for the benefit of the children. A person called the “trustee” is appointed by the Will to manage the trust on behalf of the children. Most trusts for the benefit of minor children allow the money to be used for their health, education, maintenance and support. The term “education” usually also refers to college education. There are several ways to go about doing this. The most common ways are the (1) common trust or (2) the separate trust. In the common trust, all of the money is held until the youngest child reaches an age specified in the Will. Upon the youngest child reaching the specified age, the monies remaining in the trust are then distributed to all of the children. In a separate trust, the assets are divided among the children and a separate trust is created for each child and each child receives their trust when the each reach the specified age. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? The advantage of the common trust is that the money is held until the youngest child reaches the specified age. In this way, the trustee can use the money in the trust and if necessary spend more of the money in the trust on one child as opposed to the others. As a parent, most people would be willing to spend everything they
had on one child at the expense of the other children if that child required greater care than the other children. Marc S. Galella Esq. By using a common trust you give the trustee the flexibility to do this. The drawback to the common trust is that the older children will have to wait a longer period of time to receive their share of the inheritance depending upon the age of the youngest child. This could be a disadvantage if there is a significant age difference between the youngest and oldest child. The advantage of the separate trust is that each child will receive their share of the estate when they reach the specified age. This means that the older children do not have to wait for their inheritance until the youngest child reaches the specified age. The drawback to the separate trust is the trustee can only use the money in that individual child’s trust for the care of that child. If one child requires significantly more care than the other children, the trustee is limited to the amount of money in that child’s trust and cannot use the money in the other trusts. Which trust is better for you for your is something to be discussed with your estate planning attorney when making up your Will.

Tips And Resources When Negative Feelings Become Severe
NEW JERSEY – According to the American Psychological Association approximately one quarter of Americans report extreme stress at holiday time. Here are some simple steps that people can take to help remain calm, re-focus and enjoy the essence of this time of year: Prioritize schedules to include some of the activities that persons enjoy the most whether that be baking cookies or reading a meditation book. Incorporate others into activities; this could include asking everyone to bring a dish instead of taking on the burden of cooking a whole dinner, or asking a friend to join in shopping. Take some time each day to be mindful of surroundings, such as a walk in the brisk air or enjoying nature. Persons should allow themselves to remain present in the moment and enjoy the here and now. Try not to think ahead or about any “to do lists.” Take a break by making time for enjoyable activities unrelated to the holidays. People who feel overwhelmed should
not hesitate to seek professional help. When does holiday hustle and bustle amount to too much stress? What can be done about it? Mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, are real, common and treatable. Recovery is possible. Not everyone thinks about their emotional well-being enough, especially during the busy holiday season. The Mental Health Association in New Jersey’s Call Center answers over 32,000 calls annually, integrating professional and peer services to offer counseling, information and referral and emotional support. The MHANJ’s Call Center is nationally accredited by Contact USA, one of the only programs in the country devoted to maintaining standards of service at crisis lines, warmlines and reassurance calling programs. “We welcome anyone who has questions about the signs and symptoms of mental health issue to call. We hope that these resources will be helpful to those who are interested in maintaining their emotional well-being,” stated Carolyn Beauchamp,
President and CEO of the Mental Health Association in New Jersey.” MHANJ encourages New Jerseyans to utilize the following call lines if they have any questions or need help in a particular specialty area: NJ Connect for Recovery, 855-652-3737 (TTY 877-294-4356), 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, 5 to 10 p.m. weekends. This line is dedicated to providing counseling specifically to individuals and families coping with addiction to heroin and prescription painkillers, collaborating with the State of New Jersey’s Interim Managing Entity to help assure that people attain treatment and support. Messages received during off-hours are returned the next business day. New Jersey MentalHealthCares, 866202-HELP (4356) (TTY 877-294-4356), 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays. This line offers behavioral counseling, information and referral service providing ongoing emotional support, case management, intervention and mental health screenings. Messages received during off-hours are returned the next business day. For
people who are having trouble getting a mental health appointment, there is a new Access to Mental Health Care component. Through this service, staff can: walk callers through the maze of insurance coverage, provide advocacy and support and assist in filing complaints about access to care issues. New Jersey Self-Help Group Clearinghouse, 800-367-6274 (TTY 877-2944356), 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays. This line provides information on all types of support groups dealing with addictions, mental or physical health, family issues, bereavement, parenting, disabilities, and many other topics.

How Can You Protect Yourself From Osteoporosis?
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Osteoporosis is a common disease, accounting for more than 2 million broken bones per year in the US. Want to prevent yourself from becoming one of the 200 million people suffering from osteoporosis? The Ocean County Health Department is here to help. The OCHD recognizes May as National Osteoporosis Month, reminding residents that there are ways to help slow or stop the loss of bone mass and help prevent fractures no matter what your age. “Osteoporosis is often called a “silent disease” because unfortunately for many people they don’t know they have it until it’s too late. It usually takes breaking a bone before a person is diagnosed with the disease,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Start thinking about your bone health and take action now! The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) recommends these tips to improve bone health and prevent osteoporosis: • Get to know your risk factors: age, gender, lifestyle, medical history, family history and whether you take any medication or have medical conditions that can lead to bone loss. • Get active: Do regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise • Eat Your Way to Healthy Bones: Calcium, vitamin D, lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats are the key
to eating for healthy bones. • Ask your healthcare provider when you should get a bone density test • Don’t smoke and don’t drink too much alcohol: No more than two drinks a day is best for bone health “Bones affected by osteoporosis have lower density or strength which leads to bones becoming more fragile and likely to break. Osteoporosis causes severe pain, suffering and life-altering loss of mobility - yet it is treatable and even preventable. Diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle are keys to preventing and managing osteoporosis,” stated Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator. For more information on National Osteoporosis Month and how to build and maintain strong bones for life, visit ochd. org. Check out the OCHD’s new website at phu2.org.

Here is Lady Buckington for the Best Dressed category. By Chris Lundy HOWELL – Chickens are really taking off lately. Not literally, of course. They can’t f ly. But the number of families keeping them in their back yard is growing. Whether it’s for eggs or for pets, they are becoming popular backyard friends. What better way to celebrate them than a poultry pageant? The Third Annual Miss Hen was held recently at Monmouth Feed Supply. The event was scheduled to coincide with the arrival of new chicks for the season. With all the backyard chickens, it’s become a fun way for the community of amateur chicken farmers to get together and share tips, owner Ralph Kiracofe said. People are loving having small backyard flocks, especially families that get their children involved in the care of the birds, he said. They learn a lot and are rewarded with having a social and affectionate pet. And nothing answers the market for organic eggs than growing them yourself. “We just figured we’d celebrate it,” Kiracofe said. The chickens were judged in four cate-

gories: Trick/Talent, Best Feathered, Best Dressed and Miss Congeniality. The three judges – Diane Goossen of Goossen Farm, Shelby Johnson of Harleys and Horses Farm, and Rob Schuster of Schuster’s Poultry Farm – made the rounds to interact with the birds to see which ones had the softest and most aesthetically pleasing plumage and who had the warmest personality. The “Best Dressed” competition had chickens in children’s carts or in a cute outfit. The winner had Jacob Wladich dressed as Colonel Sanders carrying around his chicken, Matilda, in a bucket. The KFC in this case stood for “Kindness For Chickens.” When it came to talent, there are certainly some talented animals in the county, but they were also camera shy. Once they got in front of the judges, some got stage fright. Like one chicken who didn’t respond to commands and just sat there so her owner improvised and declared “She’s doing an impression of a boulder.” Bryce Decline of Brick brought his pet Chica to the competition. He had been working on a trick to get her to fetch bits of cheese. In another case, “The Amazing Big Bird” was trained to find an egg under one of three cups. When she didn’t quite get it, the owner used some “hidden magic” to sprinkle some bird seed near the right one. Results Prizes and ribbons were given out in all categories, with a first through fourth place. But there can only be one Miss Hen. The winner of the competition – and a year’s supply of feed courtesy Monmouth Feed Supply and Nutrena, was Lady Buckington, presented by Ryan and Christina Ward. The runner-up, who won six months of feed, was Muffin, presented by Emily Favre.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen New Take On Caesar Salad Shows Dish’s Versatility By Wolfgang Puck What makes a recipe food lovers refer to as a classic? It has to taste delicious and, of course, look beautiful. It should satisfy the other senses, too, offering enticing aromas, pleasing textures, and even delightful sounds. A classic should also stand the test of time, regardless of whatever food fads may come or go. I’d like to add another qualification: A classic must be so good that it’s also versatile, leaving room for some creativity. Professional chefs and home cooks alike come to appreciate the ability such dishes have to seem fresh and new when we want them to. By such standards, Caesar salad certainly counts as a classic. The improvised creation of restaurateur Caesar Cardini, who whipped it up late one evening in 1924 from odds and ends in his kitchen in Tijuana, Mexico, the dish has long since become a worldwide favorite: a simple yet complex-tasting assemblage of crisp, chilled Romaine lettuce; garlicky croutons; and a rich dressing of egg, garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, Parmesan and a hint of canned salted anchovy fillets, which may also be added whole as a garnish. Restaurant guests today have long since grown accustomed to enjoying Caesar salad as a dinner appetizer or lunchtime main dish, the latter frequently topped with grilled seafood, chicken or steak. I’ve seen several variations: low-fat Caesars in which the dressing’s egg is replaced by creamy, fat-free Greek yogurt; Southwestern Caesar salads seasoned with smoky dried chipotle chilies; and trendy Caesars in which raw kale replaces the Romaine. And, if they’re made with culinary know-how, they all work, as smart variations on a classic often do. In that spirit, I’d like to share one of my own spins on Caesar salad; this one inspired by the cuisine of southern France, where I spent some of my formative years as a chef cooking under the late, great Raymond Thuilier at his famed, Michelin-starred L’Oustau de Baumaniere. This version keeps the lettuce and dressing largely unchanged. Its departure from tradition comes in the croutons. Instead of the usual bread cubes, I start with wider, bite-sized pieces. Before baking, I toss them not only with garlic, olive oil and Parmesan, but also fragrant fresh herbs you might find growing on a Provencal hillside. Then, just before serving, I spread each crouton with tapenade, the classic olive spread of the region, for which I offer an easy, delicious recipe here. Combined with the cold lettuce and fragrant dressing, it all adds up to a Caesar salad that tastes both unmistakably authentic and surprisingly different. I hope you enjoy this version, which makes a perfect springtime or summer recipe. May it also inspire you to come up with your own variations on a classic! PROVENCAL CAESAR SALAD WITH TAPENADE CROUTONS Serves 2 to 4 For the tapenade croutons: 1/3 cup (85 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1-pound (500-g) loaf day-old sourdough bread, cut into slices 1/3 inch (8 mm) thick, slices cut into large bite sized pieces, to get about 2 cups (500 mL) of pieces Black-and-green olive tapenade (recipe follows) For the salad: 2 heads baby romaine lettuce or hearts of romaine, or 1 large head romaine, leaves separated, rinsed well, patted dry thoroughly, wrapped in a clean damp kitchen towel, and chilled in the refrigerator
Caesar vinaigrette (recipe follows) Freshly grated Parmesan cheese Freshly ground black pepper First, make the tapenade croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together the oil, Parmesan, garlic, oregano and thyme. Add the bread, and toss well to coat. Arrange the bread in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake until golden brown on all sides, turning them about halfway through, about 10 minutes total. Remove from the oven, cool to room temperature, and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use. For the salad, trim the lettuce and tear into bite-sized pieces; or, if using smaller leaves, keep them whole. Put the lettuce in a large mixing bowl and toss well with enough Caesar vinaigrette to coat evenly. Arrange the lettuce attractively on chilled salad plates, stacking whole leaves or mounding pieces. Sprinkle with Parmesan and black pepper to taste. Just before serving, spread a thin layer of black-andgreen tapenade on one side of each crouton. Arrange croutons on top of or around the salads. Serve immediately. BLACK-AND-GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE Makes 1 heaping cup (250 mL) 1 cup (250 mL) Nicoise olives, pitted 1 cup (250 mL) small green French olives (Picholines), pitted 1/4 cup (60 mL) drained oil-packed sun-dried tomato pieces 1 tablespoon drained capers 1 clove garlic, trimmed and peeled 1 oil-packed anchovy fillet, drained 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves 1/4 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil Put all of the ingredients except the oil in a food processor. Pulse the machine on and off until the ingredients are coarsely chopped and well blended. Turn on the machine and continue processing while slowly adding the oil, until the mixture resembles a coarse puree. Transfer to a covered container and use as needed, storing in the refrigerator for up to one week. CAESAR VINAIGRETTE Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 1 large pasteurized egg 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon crush red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained and mashed 1 scant cup (250 mL) peanut oil 1/3 cup (85 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, mustard and anchovies. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the oils to form a thick emulsion. Stir in the cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week, whisking again before use.
