Free Smoke Alarms Installed

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A group of people canvassed a local senior community, providing free smoke alarms to those who needed them.

It was part of an effort called “Sound the Alarm. Save a Life,” overseen by the Red Cross.

“Home fires kill more people in an average year than every other domestic natural disaster combined,” said Rosie Taravella, CEO, American Red Cross New Jersey Region. “To combat these tragedies, in 2014, the American Red Cross launched the multi-year Home Fire Campaign in New Jersey and across the country to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires.”

“We are making a difference. Since the launch, the Home Fire Campaign is credited with

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Long live Queen Agatha and Queen Ursula.

Those are the two queens of honeybee hives that were set up the first week in May. The two hives are by the Cooper Environmental Center, on the opposite side from the butterfly garden. Some bird feeders are next to them, providing raccoons or whatever wanders nearby an easy bite to eat so they won’t be tempted to steal honey, recreation aide Zach Keczkemethy said.

They were shipped to the park 1,000 or so bees in one box. The queen is separate from the hive.

She comes in a delivery in a cell closed off by sugar candy. The bees eat through the candy to free her.

“The common wisdom is to

give them time to settle in,” Keczkemethy said. Then check on them to see how they are getting along.

The two hives can co-exist, and won’t compete for resources, he said, despite being neighbors.

This is not the first time Cattus has played host to a hive. Last year, their queen died and the hive failed, he said.

The park holds educational programs throughout the year (which can be found at OceanCountyParks.org) and the hive provides another learning opportunity – to show people how important the insects are to the natural world.

According to the Earth Day Network, one-third of the country’s food depends on pollination from honey bees and other insects. The number of hives has

in America decreased from 6 million in the 1940s to about 2.5 million today.

The United States Department of Agriculture released a study showing there was a 9 percent decline in colonies of five or fewer hives from Jan. 1, 2016 to Jan. 1, 2017. During the same period, there was a drop of about 10,000 colonies of more than five hives.

Information like this has made it out to the general public. Keczkemethy said hobby beekeeping and people making their yards more bee-friendly has helped with these statistics.

Keczkemethy said that local residents can help bee populations by: • Plant only native species • Leave weeds to grow in an (Royalty - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 helping save more than 580 lives across the country - 18 of those lives saved were right here in New Jersey,” she said.

The Red Cross New Jersey Region has overseen more than 35,000 free smoke alarm installations, she said. Additionally, workers have helped families create fire escape plans for 16,000 households.

The most recent event started off at Holiday City Carefree. Throughout May 12, there will be 100,000 free smoke alarms installed throughout the country, she said.

Mayor Carmen Amato thanked the 62 volunteers and community partners that helped, such as the Holiday City Carefree Homeowners Association and the Manitou Park Fire Department.

“We will be working with the American Red Cross to have them back again for other

areas of town,” he said.

“Every day, seven people die from home fires,” he said. “Children under the age of five are almost one-and-a-half times more likely to die in a home fire when compared to older youth. Adults over the age of 65 are two times more likely to die in a home fire than the average American.”

Every household can be safer with just two simple steps, he said: test your smoke alarms and practice your family fire escape plan.

“You may have as little as two minutes to escape a burning home. Make sure everyone in your household knows the fire escape plan and how to get out of the home in less than two minutes,” he said.

Other speakers included Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines and Chief Joseph Jubert from the Manitou Park Fire Company.

Kim:

Continued From Page 1 officials about the importance of infrastructure projects, the joint base, and small businesses, and how to approach them in a bipartisan way.

The congressman has been holding town halls in his district, which encompasses parts of Ocean and Burlington counties, since he took office. He currently has a local office in the basement of the Toms River municipal building.

He was invited to speak to the Ocean County Mayors Association at their regular meeting. He told them his role representing the area was not to be a “partisan knife fighter or name caller,” but to reach across the aisle to make real changes. He also said he wasn’t getting into debates in the capital about changing everything, but instead has been looking for more realistic goals where people can feel immediate improvement.

He gave a brief speech and then there was a period for questions.

Construction Projects Washington is finally getting on board with upgrading infrastructure, Kim said, which is critical because New Jersey was rated a D+ in that category, and the state’s access to clean water was rated C. He was referring to a 2016 assessment by the New Jersey Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Several local officials had concerns about construction projects. South Toms River business administrator Joseph Kostecki discussed the red tape that costs towns time and money when it came to contracts. Freeholder Director Virginia Haines expressed the need for an overpass – or underpass depending on how you look at it – on route 539 for military base traffic. Freeholder Joseph Vicari spoke about keeping contractors local.

Collusion Investigation Steve Doyle, mayor of Island Heights,

The Berkeley Times, May 18, 2019, Page 5 asked Kim’s opinion of the Mueller investigation of Russia’s impact on the 2016 presidential election.

Kim said that during his town halls in different communities, that issue doesn’t get brought up.

“Congress has a role in oversight, of course,” but that shouldn’t be the only thing they are focused on, he said. Lawmakers need to keep making laws instead of focusing only on that.

He’s not on any committee that directly impacts the investigation, he said.

SALT Deduction John Novak, a committeeman in Barnegat, asked about how to get the SALT deduction back.

Previously, homeowners could deduct State and Local Taxes from their taxable income. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 capped this. Kim’s predecessor, Tom MacArthur, was the lone Republican in New Jersey that voted for this act, and some say it cost him the election.

“It was devastating to a lot of communities,” Kim said. “There’s no easy way to put it: we got screwed on that one. The cuts that the wealthiest are getting is coming down on our backs and that’s what really pisses me off.”

Currently, there is a bill going through the Ways and Means Committee that would reinstate it, he said. “We think we’ll get it past the House, but nothing from the House is getting a minute’s attention from the Senate.”

National Security When asked what was the biggest threat to national security, Kim noted North Korea and Iran’s nuclear aspirations but said China will be the defining question of the next 25-50 years.

The nation is investing in defense, stealing and hacking information from people and business, and have a general acceptance of terrorism and human rights violations, he said.

May Is Older Americans Month; Let’s Celebrate Our Seniors

Freeholder Forum

by Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari Ocean County is home to 173,000 older Americans who enrich our communities through their diverse life experiences. So many seniors living in the county have brought with them expertise and skills that they are happy to share with the rest of us.

While seniors provide so much to the quality of life here, we are committed to

strengthening our community by connecting with and supporting older adults, their families, and caregivers and acknowledging their many valuable contributions to society.

Ocean County recognizes the importance of bringing together all generations and engaging in activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being

for the benefit of all.

Ocean County enhances the lives of older Americans and all of their caregivers, from family members to community assistance and agencies by: • Promoting home and community based services that support independent living • Involving older adults in community events and other activities • Providing opportunities for older adults to work, volunteer, learn, lead, and mentor A robust county library system, a county park system second to none, Ocean County College, Ocean

County Vocational-Technical Schools, are just a few of the county programs seniors can access for leisure and recreational activities or to hone their skills in specific areas.

On May 14, I joined with many of our senior providers to mark the grand opening of a new senior nutrition site and our home delivered meals production kitchen all conveniently located at the Southern Ocean County Service Center in Manahawkin.

Ocean County provides more than 1,100 home-delivered meals a day to seniors, allowing them to maintain their independence and dignity. This program also

serves as a lifeline for the homebound. With each meal delivered comes a wellness check, someone to talk to, someone who can determine if all is ok in the absence of a family member or full-time caregiver.

We are an aging nation.

According to the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging, every day, 10,000 baby boomers turn age 65, or nearly 10 million over the next three years.

By 2030, 73 million - or one in five - people in America will be age 65 or older. By 2035, all communities must be prepared to address these realities when, for the first time in our nation’s history,

the population of adults age 60 and older will outnumber people younger than 20.

Ocean County through its Office of Senior Services and other affiliated agencies makes every effort to provide the best services and programs for our seniors.

Whether you are someone new to retirement or someone that is approaching 100, while your needs differ, we recognize the importance of being able to access assistance when needed.

The steps we take today will serve as the foundation for how our seniors are treated in the years to come and the quality of life they will enjoy in their golden years.

National Small Business Week Celebrated In Downtown Toms River From The Desk Of

Congressman Andy Kim TOMS RIVER - Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) kicked off National Small Business Week with a tour of small businesses in Ocean County.

“If we want to keep our

economy strong, we need to keep our small businesses empowered to grow and create jobs,” said Congressman Kim. “There are more than 13,000 small businesses in Ocean and Burlington

Counties. Each one of those small businesses represent the ideas, initiative and aspiration that make New Jersey an economic leader and great place to live.”

Congressman Kim visited The Music Academy, A Thyme for All Seasons, Bubbys Beanery and the Dow ntow n Shops @53 Main, where he spoke with small business owners and employees about efforts in Congress to empower small businesses to create jobs and

create new opportunities in New Jersey.

“The BID joined Congressman Andy Kim in meeting with downtown businesses to discuss the challenges they are facing and the opportunities they are being presented in the current economy,” said Nick Zorojew, Executive Director of the Downtown Toms River Business Improvement District. “Connecting business owners with their public officials is one of the reasons the BID exists. It

is encouraging to see those at the federal level engaging our stakeholders. It means Toms River is an area to watch as it strides toward revitalizing its downtown waterfront and enhances its business climate.”

According to the Small Business Administration, more than 860,000 small businesses are based in New Jersey, employing 1.8 million people. These jobs constitute nearly half of the private-sector workforce in New Jersey.

“Listening to our small business owners here in New Jersey will make for better policies in Congress,” said Congressman Kim. “I look forward to sharing their insights with my colleagues and delivering for them in Washington.”

Congressman Kim is a member of the House Committee on Small Business, and the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax and Capital Access.

New Petition Asks State To End Cuts To Local Schools Capitol Comments Senator Christopher J. Connors 9th Legislative District

TR ENTON - Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove have launched a new online petition in opposition to massive school funding cuts

proposed by Governor Phil Murphy in his FY 2020 State Budget proposal.

The 9th District legislators said the petition and included commenting tool are intended to give their constituents the opportunity

to tell the Governor how they feel about the impact his school funding proposal would have on their local school districts.

The petition reads as follows: “Governor Phil Murphy has proposed a State Budget for next year that would cut millions of dollars of funding to our local schools in the 9th Legislative District.

That’s in addition to harmful cuts he already imposed on many of our schools this year.

“As a result of this unfair proposal, teachers will be laid off, class sizes will increase, and important programs, including sports and special education, will be severely impacted in many school districts.

“In fact, 17 of the 26 school districts in the 9th District would see a loss in aid under the Governor’s plan.

“School districts in our area would be among the hardest hit anywhere in New Jersey, with our Ocean County schools suffering a

net loss of nearly $4.4 million in funding next year.

“Schools in the Burlington County portion of our legislative district would lose $1.3 million under the Governor’s plan.

“While our Atlantic County schools generally do better, they still don’t get what they deserve after years of underfunding.

“This is the result of a new school funding law that Governor Murphy signed last year, which shifts some of our school aid to districts

in other parts of the state.

“In future years, the cuts to our schools stand to get worse - far worse.

“Our local schools in Ocean County will lose a whopping $28 million in State school aid annually when the Governor’s new funding formula is fully implemented in six years. Our Burlington County schools will lose $10 million each and every year.

“At the same time, Governor Murphy is calling for a (Connors - See Page 8)

“Local property taxpayers in our towns will pay more as districts struggle to preserve the quality of education in our classrooms from the Governor’s funding cuts.

“We’re running out of time to stop this!

“We only have until the end of June when the next State Budget must be signed to convince the Governor to fully fund all of our schools.”

Please take a few seconds to sign the petition. You can help send the message to Governor Murphy that every New Jersey student deserves a fair share of State school aid.

SHADING CHILDREN FROM EYE DAMAGE

Parents who heed dermatologists’ warnings to protect their children’s skin from excessive sun exposure should take similar advice from ophthalmologists about protecting their children’s eyes from potentially injurious ultraviolet (UV) light. When children are playing in direct sun or are exposed to reflections from bodies of water for extended periods without protection, ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays could damage their corneas, lenses, and/or retinas. The amount of exposure it takes to injure these parts of the eye depends on the amount of time spent in the sun, the amount of past exposure, and genetic makeup. To be safe, it is a good idea to get children in the habit of wearing sunglasses from an early age.

Watch for children’s sunglasses with labels that say the lenses, “block UV rays,” but don’t specify the actual percentage of UV radiation the lenses absorb. In some cases, your eye doctor can use an optical instrument to determine the exact level of UV protection your child’s sunglasses provide. SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. offers attentive, thorough eye exams in a comfortable, professional environment.

To schedule an eye exam, please call 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

P.S. Because the lenses of children’s eyes cannot filter UV light and prevent it from reaching their retinas as effectively as adults’ lenses can, children’s retinas are more susceptible to damage.

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

5 Fascinating Facts: Hearing Edition Did you know your ears NEVER stop hearing? During sleep, your brain simply ignores incoming sounds. Here are four more facts to show just how intriguing the world of hearing can be.

Some people have SUPER HEARING — sort of. True super hearing would make you miserable: Loud sounds would be even louder, and you could hear all the noises in your neighbors’ houses at once. But some people are sensitive to certain aspects of hearing: Some hear very quiet sounds, others very high pitches, and some can tell whether sound arrives at each ear at a different time.

The WAX MOTH has the best hearing of any animal (including humans). Galleria mellonella, also known as the wax moth, can hear frequencies up to 300 kHz. For comparison, bats — the wax moth’s main predators — can hear their own sonar at 212 kHz, a dog can hear 45 kHz, and a human with unusually good hearing can hear 20 kHz. Tinnitus can be MUSICAL. Some

people experience what’s called musical ear syndrome (MES). As with tinnitus, it’s a sound perception with no external source. But unlike the simple sounds of tinnitus, such as ringing or buzzing, MES can include perception of entire songs, such as “Silent Night” or Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries.” In fact, a common name for MES is musical tinnitus.

The longest anyone has endured the quietest place on Earth is 55 MINUTES. The anechoic (echo-free) chamber at Microsoft in Redmond, Wash., is the quietest place on earth. Any sound waves that hit the walls, floor, or ceiling are instantly absorbed. For a human sitting in it alone, the chamber is unsettling — you can hear noises that happen inside your body.

Garden State Hearing & Balance Center has been providing hearing care services for almost 30 years. They can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www.gardenstatehearing.com

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

9 Ways You Ruin Your Teeth

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

You may unknowingly be hurting your teeth with everyday things, for example drinking kombucha. Enamel is the protective hard coating on the outside of your teeth and when it comes off, tooth erosion occurs and cavities form.

Several health articles have come out recently, warning about kombucha and its potentially detrimental effects on teeth. The same enamel damage can be done by eating citrus fruits, drinking fruit juice, drinking coffee, carbonated water or soda. Protect your teeth if you love these drinks: Drink water afterwards to rinse and neutralize all the acid. Find unsweetened brands and don’t sip it all day. Drink your kombucha (or other acidic drink) very quickly. Wait 30 minutes to brush your teeth because your enamel is most vulnerable when it has just been exposed to acidic beverages and brushing it may aggravate the enamel at its weakest moment. So rinse with water immediately after drinking, and then brush your teeth 30 minutes later.

These 9 Factors Can Also Ruin Your Teeth: 1. Antihistamines. They have anti-cholinergic side effects which cause dry mouth through the reduction of saliva production.

But it’s the saliva that helps control bacterial growth in your mouth and saliva contains compounds that allow for re-mineralization (strengthening) of your teeth.

2. Biting Fingernails. This can crack or splinter enamel, especially if it’s been primed by acidic drinks, and therefore weak to begin with.

3. Brushing Your Teeth Immediately.

Scrubbing your dental enamel right after drinking anything acidic can hurt the enamel.

4. Drinking Coffee or Wine. It stains your teeth and makes you look older. The trouble is that routinely whitening them with peroxide strips isn’t so great either.

5. Osteoporosis Medications. Some of these drugs have been shown to have a detrimental impact on jaw bone, especially in patients who have had their teeth pulled.

6. Fruit drinks and juice boxes. The kids love these things, but again, the fruit juices are very acidic, and full of sugar so it’s a twofold blow upon their developing teeth!

7. Xerostomia. This is the term for dry mouth and low salivary flow, which can be caused by medications as well as some disorders. This can be caused by a multitude of conditions among them, pre-diabetes, diabetes, stroke, thrush, Candida, Alzheimer’s disease, Sjogren’s syndrome or hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone).

8. Snoring or Sleep Apnea. It causes you to sleep with your mouth open and this leads to dry mouth, and this can cause your enamel to suffer from the lack of saliva.

9. Reflux. Your stomach acid is way more corrosive than soda, kombucha, fruit juice and sparkling water! When you have reflux, the stomach acid which has a pH of 2 flows up your esophagus and may get into your mouth and hurt your teeth.

It probably goes without saying, but see your dentist routinely and eat a healthy balanced diet. Consider foods that are high in minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium. Vitamin D and CoQ10 are also useful for general dental health.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Helpful Tips To Ensure Your Mortgage Application Is Approved

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

A necessary but intensive task during your journey to purchase your new home will be providing your mortgage representative with all of the financial records and additional information they may require during the home buying process. Equally, during a re-finance of your existing home many of the same financial records will be required.

In either case, the process is started with an application and then moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close. This time period may span from 30 days to several months, depending on the complexity of the loan program. There are several tips to remember which will help achieve a smooth closing.

First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards or make large purchases on existing credit cards. Even the smallest of purchases on a new card may lead to a much larger available line of credit. This is important to remember when you are paying for movers or looking to purchase new appliances and/or furniture for your new home.

All of these actions can disrupt your income to debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close position. Make sure prior to utilizing any credit that it is discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to avoid delays in obtaining clearance to close your loan.

Second, in a situation where you are either re-financing your existing home or purchasing a home that requires repairs prior to closing, make sure all home improvements/ repairs are completed prior to the home appraisal. Nearly all loans require an appraisal.

Therefore, in order to avoid any delays with

your closing, make sure you properly plan the Dina M. Vicari Esq. timing of your appraisal.

Timing of the appraisal should be discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to ensure that there are no on-going improvements within the property that would require a re-appraisal, which will delay the process and cost an additional fee.

Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved-up to bring to the closing table. At the time of closing there are lender costs and third party costs, such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner associations, tax office, municipal utilities and many more, which must be paid at closing. It is important to communicate with your Attorney and mortgage lender to review all of the closing costs that you will be responsible for at the time of closing.

The above items may be overwhelming but 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.

Lighthouse International Film Fest Kicks Off 11th Season

By Kimberly Bosco LONG BEACH ISLAND – Locals and film experts alike celebrated the return of the Jersey Shore’s favorite film fest with a kick-off party and fundraiser on April 27. This event was an exciting preview of what’s to come during the fourday cinematic experience on June 6-9.

Held at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, members of the Lighthouse International Film Festival and film enthusiasts gathered together to enjoy some Asian fusion cuisine and a special film screening in honor of the festival’s 11th year on the island.

Amir Bogen, Executive Director of the LIFF, believes that this year is going to be “much better than any other year.”

This season will be Bogen’s f irst as Executive Director; in 2018, he served as Deputy Director under Eric Johnson.

Among the hundreds of submissions made to the LIFF this year, “we have one of the best films from South by Southwest,” an annual film festival that takes place in Austin, Texas. Bogen also mentioned that film-goers can expect to

see the work of some “major documentary filmmakers” as well.

A full schedule of the dozens of films to be shown can be found at lighthouse. festivalgenius.com/2018/schedule/week.

The annual film fest brings films, special events, parties, panel discussions, and people from all over to Long Beach Island, while showcasing the local artistic community. Held each summer at various venues throughout the island, the festival promotes independent film and encourages people to experience the area as “more than just a day at the beach.”

The kickoff party is both an introduction to what the festival offers as well as a fundraiser for independent film. The event featured a gift auction offering up items from local shops, restaurants, and artisans.

Attendees also got to enjoy some tasty Asian cuisine provided by local eateries including Fuji 72, Makoto, Golden Jade, and Zen, while getting a taste for the 2019 Festival Line-Up with a special film screening.

Although it will not be shown during

the festival, those at the kickoff party got a f irst look at the dramedy f ilm “Don’t Let the Night End.” This film was nominated for Best Cinematography at the Queens World Film Fest. Actor and director of the film, Galia Barkol, mingled with guests and hosted a Q&A following the film screening.

“It’s my first feature film and I am an actor but I studied film,” said Barkol.

Barkol comes to LBI from Israel, which is where the main character in her film, Mia, hails from. After completing her mandatory military service in Israel, Barkol moved to Paris where she studied film. She later studied acting in New York.

“I kind of wanted to combine it all…this is my biggest project to date,” she said.

Attendees got to see her work play out on screen firsthand.

“Don’t Let the Night End” follows Mia, who loses her ability to dance due to an injury. Mia leaves life in Tel Aviv for a temporary stay in New York City where she finds respite in taking origami classes and cat-sitting for a married sales agent, who is only in New York

on the weekends. Barkol explained that the movie encompasses the way that strangers can connect with one another and how complicated the relationships between parents and their adult children can become.

Former Executive Director Eric Johnson explained the process of choosing films for the festival to Jersey Shore Online at their 10th annual event. Submissions open up during the fall and extend through March. LIFF members begin watching the film submissions immediately once they start coming in and, following the deadline, it takes about another six weeks to wrap everything up.

The LIFF staff works on choosing exciting films from all different backgrounds.

And it is not only feature-length films that you will see but also shorts, documentaries, and virtual reality.

If you wish to attend this year’s event, you have two options. You can get an All Access Pass, which grants you access to all film screenings and special parties held during the festival. Or you can buy tickets for screenings online at lighthousefilmfestival.org or at the door.

Around The Jersey Shore Attention All Active, Retired Military and Wounded Warriors

May is Military Appreciation Month and Crossroads Realty is proud to announce that we participate in US Military on the Move, a program offered exclusively by Leading Real Estate Companies of the World. When buying or selling a home, we have a program designed to reward America’s fighting men and women for their service to our country.

US Military on the Move is a free real estate rebate and information program that allows you to earn cash back when you buy or sell a home. When you by or sell a home through US Military on the Move, you receive a cash rebate on the actual sales price – not a fixed amount based on a range

of values – and you’ll receive your rebate at closing!

Crossroads has been assisting veterans and civilians reach their home ownership dreams since 1966. Byron Kotzas, founder of Crossroads Realty, was a veteran of the Air Force, piloting missions from 1942 to 1945 in WWII. He also has been an avid supporter of the ongoing efforts of the USO. Byron was legendary for his philanthropic endeavors with many charities but the USO was very dear to home.

We thank you for your service.

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER — Have you received a call from someone claiming to be from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department recently? The Ocean County Sheriff’s Department is warning residents against scam callers on the rise once again, advising all to be wary of callers requesting money.

A May 8 post from the department stated: “We are letting the public know that there once again is a large increase in phone scams.

We urge you not to agree on any solicitations over the phone and report any illegal activity to your local law enforcement. Any concerns can be addressed to our office at 732 929 2044 or 732 349 2010.”

Not only are these scam callers soliciting money, but they are also claiming to be calling from the Sheriff’s Office.

“Anyone that receives a phone call from a Lieutenant Alexander, he does not work for our office and do not accept any offers over the phone,” stated the department.

A similar scam call incident occurred back

in January 2019 where the scam callers were requesting residents pay fines for missing jury duty. This scam yielded over $250,000 from victims.

To avoid becoming a victim of a scam call: • Don’t answer calls from numbers you don’t recognize.

• Don’t call back numbers you don’t recognize.

• Don’t confirm any personal information over the phone.

• Don’t return calls that claim to be from the IRS, the Social Security Administration, your bank or a local police or sheriff’s department. If you are worried, look up the phone number for the agency. Do not call back a number left on voicemail.

• Be wary about anyone calling on the phone about any emergency involving a family member or friend. Get a phone number to call back, then verify the whereabouts and safety of the person the call is about.

• Change your voicemail message to withhold your name or other personal information.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of may 18 - may 24

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep a cool head. The things that are making you angry may ultimately prove to be of no importance. Stay focused on your own life and avoid being overly critical of others. Focus on securing your financial situation in the week ahead.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Carve out your own niche in the world. In the upcoming week you feel your best when you have the freedom to do what pleases you when you feel the urge. Take care of yourself and enjoy your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): All knowledge is useful. There’s no telling when a valuable bit of information could come in handy so keep your mind open to new experiences. Take the time to listen to the ideas of others in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Good things come to those who wait. Be patient and save your funds until you can afford the best quality when it comes to something you really need. Small sacrifices could help balance the budget this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes it’s best to keep comments to yourself. Differing opinions are what make the world interesting so stay open to the views of others. Maintain harmony by trying to see things from someone else’s perspective this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be tactful and sympathetic as this week unfolds. Be considerate of someone’s feelings, pointing out shortcomings could make you seem harsh or overly critical. Just a few kind words could boost someone’s confidence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Know when it’s best to back down. Resentment may be created if you continuously push someone to disclose information that is too personal. Agree to disagree when it comes to differences of opinion in the week to come.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Never say never. While a current partnership may not go as planned, don’t close the door on working together in the future. Turn a negative situation into a positive learning experience during the upcoming week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Take your time to do the best work you can rather than simply rushing to be finished. Stand on the merit of your own achievements instead of competing with others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s no diploma given for common sense. If you feel that offering your knowledge to someone in the upcoming week could help them, then do it. If you prevent them from making a mistake, they may thank you later.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your time may not feel like your own. You may be so busy with obligations and responsibilities this week that there will be little chance of doing what you enjoy.

Write down your best ideas for future reference.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): There’s no shame in taking a breath. Sit back and recharge your batteries to prepare for the long work week ahead.

However, there’s no reason why you can’t think about the future and make plans while you relax.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen

A Cooking Lesson From My Mom

By Wolfgang Puck If there’s one important cooking lesson I learned from my mother, it’s that you can always do little things to make a recipe you like into something even better. Thinking back to afternoons spent watching her at work in our home kitchen, I can see her always tasting and adjusting seasonings, often quickly improvising based on a seasonal ingredient or simply some sudden inspiration she had.

The results, needless to say, were always delicious. It’s her early influence, and the delicious food both she and my grandmother made, that played a big role in my career path to becoming a chef.

So, I’m happy to share a new version of a recipe I often ate as a child in my mother’s kitchen; one that often evolved based on available ingredients and my mother’s whim. The recipe is for a traditional Austrian dish called Kaiserschmarren (literally, the Emperor’s shreds or mess).

The name describes the fact that, fancy though it looks when it comes out of the oven, this fluffy hybrid of a souffle and a pancake is traditionally torn into rough pieces for serving. I’m sure that my mother loved to serve it to us children not only because it was delicious but also because of its versatility. She could make for dessert or as an economical one-dish supper.

In that versatile spirit, I would like to suggest that you prepare Kaiserschmarren for Mother’s Day, as a breakfast or brunch main dish, a light supper or a special dessert.

Mother always served Kaiserschmarren with some sort of fresh fruit compote: apples in autumn or winter, for example, or plump berries in springtime or summer. That’s one great example of the way she often improvised.

Following my mother’s example, I’ve gone on evolving the Kaiserschmarren recipe she handed down to me. Over the years, I’ve added more eggs to make it even less like a pancake and more like a souffle. The recipe here even differs from a version I shared eight years ago, now containing a slightly higher proportion of egg whites to yolks for even fluffier results (plus a touch of cream of tartar to help stabilize those beaten whites), and a touch of vanilla for more flavor.

To make this version extra special, I’ve also decided to feature fresh cherries in the compote instead of the strawberries I often use. Right now, you should be able to find cherries in many farmers’ markets and food stores; if not, you could always switch back to berries.

I hope you’ll add this to your own recipe book.

My mom would have been pleased to know it!

KAISERSCHMARREN WITH FRESH CHERRY COMPOTE Serves 6 to 8 For the Kaiserschmarren: 1/2 cup (125 mL) seedless raisins 6 tablespoons dark rum 2 cups (500 mL) creme fraiche 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) granulated sugar, divided, plus extra for coating

8 large eggs, separated 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Pinch kosher salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, for coating For the cherry compote: 4 cups (1 L) pitted fresh cherries 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly squeezed orange juice 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest 1/4 cup (60 ml) granulated sugar 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Confectioners’ sugar, for serving Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C). Meanwhile, put the raisins and rum in a small bowl and leave the raisins to plump for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain off excess rum, reserving 1 tablespoon of rum.

Put the creme fraiche, 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the sugar, the egg yolks, plumped raisins, the 1 tablespoon rum and the vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whisk until blended. Sprinkle in the flour, stir, and set aside.

Put the egg whites in a large, clean mixing bowl.

Add the cream of tartar and salt. With a hand-held electric mixer on medium speed and clean beaters, beat the whites until thick and foamy. Then, still beating, gradually sprinkle in the remaining 1 cup (250 mL) sugar. Continue beating until soft peaks form when the beaters are lifted out.

With a large spoon, drop a generous dollop of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk batter.

With a flexible rubber spatula, gently fold the whites into the batter to lighten it. Spoon the remaining meringue over the batter and gently but thoroughly fold it in.

With a brush or clean fingers, spread the butter inside a medium-sized ovenproof skillet to coat it evenly. Evenly sprinkle in enough additional granulated sugar to coat the butter, turning the pan for even distribution; then, gently tap out any excess sugar.

With the spatula, gently scrape the batter into the prepared skillet and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven until the mixture puffs up and turns golden brown on top, and it feels springy when very gently and quickly touched at its center, 10 to 12 minutes.

While the souffle bakes, make the cherry compote: In a nonreactive skillet, stir together the pitted cherries, orange juice and zest, granulated sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Cook over medium-low heat just until heated through and the cherries have begun to give up some of their juices, stirring to help the sugar dissolve and mashing a few of the cherries to help thicken the sauce, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.

To serve, divide the compote among 6 to 8 serving plates. With a large serving spoon, scoop up large dollops of the souffle, distributing it evenly on top of the compote. Dust generously with confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately.
