By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – Memorial Day is the start of the summer season, but some still got to the beach before the traffic starts coming down the Parkway.

Daniel Ortiz, Nicole Mejia, and Daniel “D.J.” Ortiz Jr., 3, were playing in the sand on a Seaside Heights beach just before the holiday weekend. As the afternoon wore on, a chilly wind started.

“Little man wanted a beach day,” Daniel Ortiz said. “We brought a jacket just in case it was cold, but as of right now we’re soaking in what we can.”

This is the first season for shore towns since

the multi-million dollar beach replenishment project by the Army Corps of Engineers, and town officials are looking forward to a successful year.

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The last public meeting before the primary election got heated as Council members sparred over the town’s development issues.

The Republican Club has endorsed former Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato for the June 4 primary.

He is being challenged

by Councilman Maurice Hill and Councilman Daniel Rodrick.

The winner will face off against Democrat Jonat ha n Pet ro i n November. Current Mayor Thomas Kelaher is not running for re-election.

Arguments broke out regarding Rodrick’s

campaign materials.

He has asserted that the township has been looking toward allowing development on the former Ciba-Geigy site, and has invited local developer Jack Morris to meet with the owners.

Using his own estimations, Rodrick had said that 6,400 homes could be built on the property if it’s rezoned as mixed use. This estimation came from his math, as there is no set development plan for the property.

When Rodrick first made these claims, Mayor Thomas Kelaher issued a statement that there is not – and never has been – a plan to develop the

D-Day 75 Years Later: Why It Still Matters

By J. Mark Mutter This month the world shall remember D-Day - the invasion of Normandy 75 years ago - the day that literally saved the world.

It was the climactic battle of the Second World War - the day of the Twentieth Century.

And it still matters today.

The World At War 75 Years Ago On the eve of D-Day - June 6, 1944 - the world had been at war for five years.

Hitler had conquered most of Europe by

1944, but his military was over extended. Ever the conqueror, now he was in the un-enviable position to defend. Hitler’s problem was that he had conquered much more than he could defend and his policy of no retreat violated the maxim that he who defends all, defends nothing.

In a 1943 declaration, Hitler reversed policy - sort of. In a directive to his military, he announced that “for the last two and one-half years the bitter and costly struggle against Bolshevism (the fighting against the Soviet Union) has made the utmost demands upon the bulk of

our military resources….The situation has since changed. The threat from the East remains, but an even greater danger looms in the West: the Anglo-American landing!” He had determined that “in the East, the vastness of space, will as a last resort, permit a loss of territory” - without defeating Germany. “Not so in the West,” he declared. If the Allies were successful in the anticipated invasion, “consequences of staggering proportions” would follow.

It was all about geography - a successful Allied (D-Day - See Page 5)

In Seaside Heights, the most noticeable change are the dunes separating the boardwalk from the beach. Sprigs of dune grass sprout up neatly in rows, and they will grow into larger plants over the coming months.

The experience for visitors won’t change much, said Christopher Vaz, the borough administrator. The boardwalk, shops, hotels, and beach are ready to go. It’s really more a change for the town itself.

“In past years, you could see the beach from the boardwalk,” he said. Now, the dunes are higher. So security will have to be physically on the beach to make up for that. Surveillance cameras will also be installed on the beach patrol buildings that will provide a view of some of the beaches and boardwalk, but they won’t be coming until the end of June.

“For us, it’s an entirely new operation,” Vaz said. Staff will have to clean litter that blows onto the dunes without stepping on dune grass.

They have to roll up the handicap access mats at the end of the day. It amounts to a little more maintenance to keep the new things nice.

“It’s been a long winter for us,” he said. “I know business owners are excited.”

Toms River township engineer Robert Chankalian said everything is ready for this season on the town’s small strip of beach.

Year-round residents watched the replenishment project over the long months, and soon tourists and summer residents will see it, too.

The access to the beach has changed as well, as they too have installed Mobi-mats that help people access the beach on foot or in wheelchairs, he said.

Every township road on the island has been paved, he said.

“New roads, new beach, new everything,” he said.

“There’s a noticeable difference,” said Debbi Winogracki, recreation director for Berkeley.

The Army Corps provided a lot of extra protection, and visitors should be able to see it when they arrive.

There’s an elite group of lifeguards ready to start the season in their new booth, she said.

Beach badge prices are the same as last year.

“We’re excited for a new season,” Mayor Carmen Amato said.

The public ocean beaches in Berkeley are along 20th to 23rd avenues on the South Seaside Park section of town, north of Island Beach State Park.

All beaches on Long Beach Island are public, an official said.

In Long Beach Township, there haven’t been any active beach replenishment projects this year, a township official said. Additionally, the entrances to the beach, and the boardwalks are the same.

Events for the area can be found at longbeachtownship.com/departments/recreation/.

Smoking Ban This is the first year that beachgoers won’t be allowed to smoke on beaches and parks. The law went into effect in January.

“Cigarette butts are one of the major sources of litter, and our beaches and parks will now look less unsightly. Some communities like Atlantic City will set aside a small smoking area, but otherwise our beaches will be completely

smoke free,” said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “Visitors will be able to sit outside without breathing in second-hand smoke. They can walk on the sand without stepping on cigarette butts. We will also be safer. A recklessly discarded cigarette can start fires, igniting picnic tables or boardwalks.

The Sierra Club proposed this smoking ban 10 years ago. Gov. Christie vetoed the bill multiple times but we kept fighting until Gov. Murphy signed it into law. Now we won’t have to deal with second-hand smoke while trying to enjoy a day outside.”

He explained in a press release that cigarettes can also be ingested by animals or even children. Additionally, they break down, leading to the spread of nicotine, pesticides and even plastic in the environment.

According to the World Health Organization, 90 percent of cigarettes have plastic in their filters, and two-thirds of them are dumped irresponsibly, where they wind up in the oceans via wind and storm drains.

Beach Closures The State Department of Environmental Protection has a web site that will inform bathers of potential closures due to high bacteria counts.

The DEP’s Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program has created njbeaches.org, an interactive website where people can see the status of their favorite beaches. There’s a map of the state, with little circles where the water is being monitored on the east coast from Monmouth to Cape May counties. The circles are color-coded to denote if the beach is open, closed, or if there’s an advisory. If you zoom in on the map, you can click on the beach and find out what the bacteria count was.

Although the DEP said that there are 180 ocean and 35 bay monitoring stations along the coast, there are also some more inland.

There are several along the Toms River, such as in Ocean Gate, Pine Beach, and Beachwood.

There’s one on the Brick side of the Metedeconk River. There are two on the Point Pleasant side of the Manasquan River. There’s one at the L Street beach in Belmar, on the Shark River. The rest are on the ocean or bay from Keansburg to Cape May Point.

The site monitors the presence of a certain bacteria found in human and animal waste. It’s not harmful by itself, but it denotes the presence of waste in the water.

Tests are done on Monday, and problem areas are retested until they are clean. They are done on Monday, officials said, because of the influx of visitors on weekends. The visitors increase the strain on the sewer systems, which is one of the ways that the bacteria wind up in the water.

Generally speaking, bay beaches close more frequently than ocean beaches, he said. Ocean beaches have more tidal flow, which washes out anything harmful.

The DEP also promoted these tips for safe swimming: • Swim near a lifeguard.

• Never swim alone.

• If you are caught in a rip current, remember to swim parallel to the shore.

• Avoid sandbars, drop-off areas, or fast currents.

• Be aware of your surroundings.

• Protect yourself from the sun.

D-Day:

Continued From Page 1 invasion in northwestern Europe would be an immediate threat to the German war machine’s industrial center. Hitler would give up some territory in the East’s “vastness of space,” and reinforce in the West.

So, the Germans knew the Allies would be coming in an “Anglo-American landing.”

But, where? When?

The Allied Plan Also in 1943, the Combined Chiefs of Staff - the Allied war command - directed a British lieutenant general, Frederick Morgan, to begin planning for “a full scale assault against the Continent in 1944, as early as possible.” The D-Day plan was originally Morgan’s plan. Only later, would General Dwight Eisenhower and British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery alter it.

The “where” could be anywhere in western Europe - from Norway to southern France. Hitler had fortified some of it with his so-called “Atlantic Wall,” but it was just too large to be defended effectively.

Since the ultimate goal was killing Hitler’s war making machine in the western part of Germany proper (the Ruhr) somewhere along the northwestern coast, the Belgian/ French coast was logical. Still-where?

Morgan ultimately selected the coast of Normandy - close enough for air cover from Britain, large and flat enough to get men ashore and keep them supplied, and not heavily defended.

The Toms River Times, June 1, 2019, Page 5 The “when” depended upon weather, but “as soon as possible.” Morgan picked May 1, as anytime earlier would risk bad spring weather. Eisenhower moved it back a month to June 1 - to give additional time to prepare.

How At a 50th anniversary event in Normandy in 1994, General John Shalikashvili, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told this writer that “you’ll never see anything like it again in the history of the world.”

It was simply the largest and most complicated military action ever in the history of warfare. How? - how was it accomplished?

It was all in the planning. As Eisenhower said, “planning is everything:” Surprise: British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said it best: “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” The Allies came out with elaborate deception efforts, code named “Operation Fortitude.” The use of fake armies to deceive the Germans, double agents, false radio traffic, and the use of dummy paratroopers dropped from the air when the invasion began.

Airborne: The attack from the air had two aspects: the Americans would drop troops at night, several hours before the daytime landings, in the western flank. The 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions - 13,000 paratroopers - would secure pre-arranged objectives to secure roads and bridges to disrupt the Germans and prevent counter attack. The roadway town of Ste. Mere Eglise that led to the port city of Cherbourg

had to be secured - and it was: the first town liberated in Normandy.

In the eastern part of the invasion front, the British had similar objectives. They were tasked with taking the German gun battery at Merville, and to secure two bridges over the rivers Orne and Dives.

The British landed by glider - just seconds after midnight on June 6th, and secured what is known in history as “Pegasus Bridge.” It was the first successful mission of D-Day. In the air, the German Luftwaffe was simply overwhelmed. As Eisenhower said to his troops before D-Day: “Don’t worry about the planes overhead. They will be ours.” The British Royal Air Force and U.S. Army Air Force had 4,300 bombers, and 3,700 fighters. In all of western Europe, the Germans had less than a thousand aircraft.

The Allies bombed pre-arranged targets in Normandy, laid smokescreen, and bombed the Pas de Calais area (closest to the English coast) in the hope of further fooling the defending Germans.

The Resistance: Closely connected to the aerial bombings was the French Resistance. The destruction of railways in occupied France by aerial bombings was a high priority. But bombardment had its shortcomings as the Germans defended their rail cars with anti-aircraft guns and Allied fire from the air was often inaccurate. The most effective way to neutralize these targets was from the ground - by the French Resistance. These underground forces disrupted communications and destroyed transportation targets. Almost

500 agents were dropped in France long before D-Day, from England, to assist the Resistance.

Naval: While the overall operation was known as “Operation Overlord,” the naval aspect was called “Neptune.” It was an armada that the world had never seen before - 5,300 vessels from battleships to landing crafts and patrol boats. The British and Americans contributed the lion’s share: three battleships and thousands of minor craft, each; also, the British - 17 cruisers and 65 destroyers; the Americans three cruisers and 34 destroyers. The French, Poles, Greek, Dutch, and Norwegians also sailed in the fleet.

Neptune’s plan called for convoys to sail from the southern coast of England, into the Channel, and to assemble at a location named “Piccadilly Circus.” From there, they would sail across the sea at night.

Landings: The Morgan plan originally called for three beaches to land on. Montgomery expanded the landing areas to five - 61 miles in length - and five divisions instead of three. The Americans were assigned the most western beaches: Utah and Omaha. The British and Canadians would land on the eastern beaches: Gold, Juno, and Sword.

The Longest Day - 24 Hours On that longest day, a timetable: 12:00 midnight to 3:00 a.m.: The British and Americans land by air 5:30 a.m.: Allies begin bombing the beaches (D-Day - See Page 20)

Continued From Page 1 Ciba property for any purpose. The land is currently zoned for industrial use, and federal and state environmental laws would prevent such development.

Kelaher’s statement to the press said that he would confront Rodrick at the council meeting and demand he identify the source of his information. Kelaher instead decided not to, and didn’t mention it at all, staying out of the squabble.

Rodrick was prepared anyway, bringing a large printout to display it at the front of the room. It showed some of the interactions he’s had with town officials that show that there might not be a plan currently, but the township has put a developer in contact with Ciba’s owners, and that the land would be included in redevelopment.

“I’ve yet to see anything that proves I’m wrong,” he said. “It’s what people care most about and I’m the only one talking about it.”

Hill, who had been a member of the Planning Board, said that there was never a discussion of redeveloping this land.

Councilwoman Laurie Huryk asked for a resolution to call for Rodrick’s apology, and if he doesn’t apologize, to leave the room.

The council voted for this, albeit grudgingly, as some council members clearly didn’t want to get involved in the fight. Township Attorney Kenneth Fitzsimmons said that the motion calling for his apology is enough of a statement, but they can’t make him leave.

The Toms River Times, June 1, 2019, Page 7 for council is Heather Barone.

“As a Reagan Republican, I have watched the traditional republican party in Toms River deteriorate under the watchful eye of (former) Ocean County Republican Chairman George Gilmore and for that reason I am running independent of and without seeking their endorsement.”

She is a former elementary school teacher who is one of the principal owners of her family’s financial planning firm. She works for abused and neglected foster children as president of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Ocean County.

“As a member of the Toms River Planning Board I have learned first hand of the debilitating effects that development can have on our environment, schools and infrastructure. I scrutinize each application to ensure that it strictly conforms with current zoning requirements and that it contributes to better, healthier Toms River. On more than one occasion I have been the lone voice of dissent on a governing body that otherwise has been a rubber stamp for development.

I believe in a smaller, less intrusive governing body that puts the wants, needs and desires of residents first, always,” she said.

Council Election This is not just a mayoral election but a council one. On the ballot are three council spots. Currently, these council spots are filled by Hill, Brian Kubiel, and George Wittmann, Jr. Coronato’s team is board of adjustment member John Meehan, Christian Momm, and board of education member Ginny Rhine Hill’s team is Matt Lotano, a principal in the commercial Lotano Development Corporation; Josh Kopp, a veteran and director of Kopp Electric Company; and former Councilman Kevin Geoghegan, a retired Toms River Police Officer and member of EMS and fire departments.

Rodrick’s team is Ken Londregin, a vice principal in Old Bridge Township, engineer George Lobman, and attorney Justin Lamb.

Also seeking the Republican nomination

Democrats There is no primary competition on the left side of the aisle.

The Democrats are running attorney Jonathan Z. Petro for mayor, and the following for council: Board of Education member and former principal Michele Williams, attorney Karin K. Sage, and teacher Drew Boyle.

“I’ve always been proud to call Toms River home, but I know this township has the potential to once again be a beacon for folks and families to put down their roots,” Petro said. “We can do more, not just on escalating taxes and development missteps, but on improving the quality of life and increasing community engagement. I’m running to make the improvements that haven’t been made, to develop the ideas that have stagnated on the shelf, and to make this town a better place for all of us.”

Democrats won three of four seats on the township council in 2017. However, one of the winners was Rodrick. He had been a Republican, switched to Democrat at some point, and switched back after winning because he was angry with the way Democrat leaders in Trenton were treating Toms River.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F eatured L etter “Hard Cap” On Taxes Is Nothing More Than A Name On July 3, 2010 Governor Christie reached a bipartisan consensus with Legislative leaders to provide long-awaited property tax relief for beleaguered New Jerseyans they called it a hard cap of 2 percent. Any waivers from this cap would have to be granted by a vote of the people, not the bureaucrats of a local board.

An override referendum would have to be approved by a simple majority of the voters. What seemed to be the answer to New Jersey’s runaway real estate tax problem was short lived. This year Little Egg Harbor Township has increased its proposed 2019-20 budget of 6.9-cent per $100 of assessed value to $.742 exceeding the cap by 8 percent.

One would think that such a hike in the tax rate a cap override referendum would apply, think again.

What most taxpayers do not know is that the 2 percent hard cap is not so hard because the law allows for exemptions from the cap that could be used for debt service payments, pension payments, and increase in health insurance costs.

And if all those exemp-

tions were not enough to keep any increase off the ballot lawmakers introduced another little known loophole called “banked cap.” This little but popular wrinkle in the law makes a mockery of the “hard cap.”

If a municipal or school budget is increased by less than 2 percent in a previous year, officials can exceed the 2 percent by that amount in a subsequent year. Even the name “banked cap” may have been created to confuse property owners. The only thing that has been “banked” here is the ability to raise taxes above the 2 percent cap without asking voters to say “yes.” Hard cap, Soft cap or No cap, we have gone the full circle. Beware of politicians when they make campaign promises that state “With my strong work ethic my agenda would be to stabilize or lower taxes” or “My goal has been, and continues to be, consciousness of our tax rates in order to keep them stable and/or reduce them” Art Mooney Little Egg Harbor

Murphy Gutted Bill That Would Shed Light On Dark Money We know here in New Jersey that outsiders often think of us as having an attitude, and to an extent, there’s some truth to that.

We have strong opinions and will defend them passionately if we disagree.

Some of the stereotypes about our home are overblown, but we can agree all over Joisey when getting cawfee for yous guys, that ones about corruption hit a little too close to the mark for anyone’s liking.

Why are we running our gover n ment like something out of the Sopranos?

When it comes to our political process, there is too much untraceable money, and it is definitely getting in the way of having a government that works for the voters.

Recently, a coalition of groups in the state, including Wolf-PAC and Represent.US, began working toward legislation that would shed some light on this dark money. The result was the unassumingly named S-1500, a detailed bill specifying campaign finance reform and transparency. This bill received strong popular support, leading to a passage in both chambers of the state legislature by a bipartisan majority, and there was not a single opposing vote in the Senate. Surely, this would be a new day for New Jersey politics, or at least the start of a new path.

Ent e r Gove r nor Ph i l Mu r phy. D e s pit e h ig h hopes, after over a month of no action or comment, the Gover nor has, with lit tle fanfare but much commentary in his twenty page document, perfor med some “ext reme dentistry” on S-1500, effe ct ively re mov i ng it s teeth by way of conditional veto. One has to won-

Letters To The Editor der what the motivations self-interest, meaning po- to need immediate attenare behind dismantling common-sense legislation with such strong popular and bipartisan support.

Governor Murphy makes a claim that the bill, as written, might get challenged in court and that there are some sources of dark money it does not address, but his solution is to weaken the bill, which is counterproductive. This is akin to shopping for a cake that serves 12, but only f inding cakes that serve 10, and since you don’t know if everybody will like the cake, you buy a pie that serves 8 instead, even though nobody asked for pie in the first place.

We do know that there has been an ongoing spat between Governor Murphy and Senate President Sweeney. Senator Sweeney has suppor ted this bill, including a portion that would force disclosure of donors by groups such as New Direction New Je r sey, a 501(c) 4 t h at favor s a nd is r u n

by Gover nor Mu r phy’s for mer campaign member, who is also a county freeholder. New Direction New Jersey had previously pledged to reveal who its donors were, but never came through. Perhaps of more interest, and more irksome to Governor Murphy, is the portion of the bill that bans elected off icials f rom involvement with independent expenditure committees.

Freeholder Brendan Gill would be forced to choose between his elected office and remaining with New Di re ct ion New Je r sey, but would not be able to continue in both capacities. It would seem to be com mon sen se t hat a n elected of f icial should not be involved in such groups, but this part of the bill would be removed

by Gover nor Mu r phy’s conditional veto.

At best, this is political in-fighting. At worst, this is a personal favor for

litical corruption. Either way, we mu st de m a nd better of our government.

We need to speak up, and we can make our voices heard through our Senators and Assemblypeople, by telling them to override Governor Murphy’s veto.

This should not be about political parties, or taking sides within the r uling party. This is about preser ving and protecting the integrity of our government and the electoral process.

Action has to happen!

Call your representatives and demand an override of Governor Murphy’s conditional veto of S-1500.

What Happened To The Gas Tax Money?

I recently read testimony from Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd), to the House Transportation Committee, regarding the infrastructure in Ocean County. According to Congressman Kim, due to many years of neglect f rom Washington and increased use, the infrastructure system throughout the State of New Jersey faces massive challenges. The Congressman adds that in his district alone there are 44 structurally deficient bridges with another 155 in need of repair.

In the article, Congressman Kim touches on several specific areas that appear

tion due to people’s lives being put in jeopardy. What the Congressman does not mention is the increase in gasoline tax that our previous and present governors imposed on all d r ivers within our state to go directly to infrastr uct ure repair. After these increases, any driver purchasing gasoline in the great State of New Jersey, has had to fork over almost an additional 30 cents per gallon, toward the gasoline tax.

Since these tax increases went into effect, I have not heard a single word about any of that money being spent on any bridge or road repairs. (Lord knows the northern end of the Garden State Parkway could definitely use some pot hole repair) Given the number of vehicles on our congested roads, every single day of the week, I can only imagine the amount of monies taken in by our State, yet our roads and bridges continue to fall into disrepair.

It’s great when you can point your finger and blame someone else for your issues, but how can you expect that someone to come in a clean your house if you don’t first try to clean it yourself. If Congressman Kim is right in his description of the condition of the nearly 200 bridges in his district, why are we spending so much time, energy and money on such issues as the legalization of marijuana? One would think that the safety and well-being of the citizens of New Jersey would be a little more important than the cannabis issue.

Hector Mejias Little Egg Harbor Editor’s note: The gasoline tax is currently 41.4 cents per gallon.

Remembering The 75th Anniversary Of The “Longest Day”

Freeholder Forum

by Freeholder Gerry P. Little History remembers it as the Longest Day; D-Day, June 6, 1944. The beginning of the end for Hitler’s “1,000-Year Reich.”

According to historian Cornelius Ryan, who wrote the first definitive account of the landings, one American general on the morning of the invasion predicted that people would be talking about this day “long after we are dead and buried.”

He wasn’t far off. Seventy-five years after American, British and Canadian troops waded ashore on the coast of Nor-

mandy, we continue to honor the bravery of the men and women who took the first steps in repaving Liberty Road.

The troops came ashore on five beaches - names that have gone down in history: Gold, Sword, Juno, Utah and Omaha.

It was tough going at first, especially on Omaha where the American 1st and 49th Infantry divisions were penned in by heavily fortified Germans dug in on the hills surrounding the beach.

The carnage and the bravery

of these troops is accurately portrayed in the opening moments of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan, which combat vets have told me is the most realistic combat scene ever recreated on the big screen.

Just to the west was Utah Beach, where the American 4th Infantry Division came ashore. Among those troops was John Santillo, now of Brick Township.

Last year Santillo was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French Government for his courage in liberating their nation. This year, thanks to an outstanding fundraising effort, Santillo is returning to France and the 75th D-Day Anniversary Commemoration.

Another Ocean County resident arrived in France hours before the troops hit the beaches.

On D-Day, Lomell was among the rangers that scaled the cliffs overlooking the American landing beaches. Their objective was a battery of huge German cannons that could have targeted the invasion troops about to come ashore. Finding the bunkers that had housed the artillery empty, Lomell searched the countryside, found the huge guns and disabled them.

Noted historian Stephen Ambrose said that aside from General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lomell was the single man most responsible for the success of the Normandy landings.

For his bravery he was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Distinguished Service Cross and the Purple Heart.

Lomell, 91, died on March 1, 2011.

Sgt. John Gutbrod, now of Surf City, was assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, which landed in occupied France before dawn on June 6, 1944.

These vanguard paratroopers fought a series of skirmishes overnight to protect the landing zones for the thousands of U.S. Soldiers that came ashore on the Longest Day. For his efforts, Gutbrod was also awarded the French Legion of Honor.

These brave men are among only a handful of D-Day survivors living in Ocean County.

We also remember the men and women who are no longer with us. Men like 2nd Lieutenant Bud Lomell of Toms River, whose daring exploits on the battlefields of France saved countless American lives.

As liaison to the Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau, I’m proud to say that Ocean County is home to more veterans than any other county in New Jersey. I’m also proud to say that Ocean County never forgets it veterans.

From the skirmishes of the Revolutionary War, thru the battlefields of the Civil War, World War I and World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War and today’s ongoing War on Terror, we thank all of our brave men and women who have worn, and who continue to wear, the uniform of the United States Armed Services.

Ocean County will mark the 75th Anniversary of D-Day with a special ceremony at the Ocean County Courthouse in Downtown Toms River at 12 noon on Thursday, June 6, 2019.

Small Business Advisory Council Created To Promote Growth in New Jersey From The Desk Of

Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) announced the formation of a Small Business Advisory Council for New Jersey’s Third Congressional District.

“The work we do for small businesses in Congress doesn’t start in the committee room, it starts with the ideas and aspirations of small business owners throughout New Jersey,” said Congressman Kim. “I’m proud to announce the formation of this Advisory Council so we can bring those ideas back to Congress and deliver for our

small business owners. I want to thank our co-chairs and I look forward to working with them and the other members of this Council to deliver for New Jersey.”

The Council will be cochaired by Kristi Howell from Burlington County and Jerry Thompson from Ocean County. The remainder of the council will consist of small business community leaders throughout the two counties and will meet on a quarterly basis to work together with Congressman Kim on solutions to empower businesses to grow and create jobs.

“It’s great to see a small business council established in Ocean and Burlington Counties,” said Thompson, Chair of the Southern Ocean Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee. “This council allows our small business owners to have a real voice in the policies that impact us every day. I look forward to working together with Congressman Kim to help New Jersey small businesses.”

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.

“I am honored to be asked

by Congressman Kim to co-chair his small business advisory council,” said Howell, President and CEO

─Photo courtesy TRRS TOMS RIVER – Dancing is one of the ways Silver Bay Elementary School has infused the arts into curriculum as part of its YA Arts Lab, a grant program funded by the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation in partnership with Young Audiences Arts for Learning.

On May 16, second-grade students who have been dancing their way through curriculum had the opportunity to showcase their knowledge of dance and animal habitats for family and sponsors of this program. As a result of the 16-week program and under the guidance of Young Audiences teaching artist Laura Marchese, students learned the fundamental elements of dance-- space, time, and energy-and how this art form could enhance their learning in and out of the classroom. They eagerly awaited each session and actively contributed to building lessons that resonated through the halls of Silver Bay. As students

connected their classroom learning with this form of creative expression, their pride and confidence soared.

As a culminating activity each class studied various animal habitats, then combined their knowledge with the inspiration they received from their Dance to Learn sessions to assemble a dramatic dance habitat performance that soared and dived through the planet. To the delight of all in attendance, students traveled from Living Seas, to a Woodland Forest, across the African Savanna, to the Tropical Rainforest, blending an original interpretive dance into a whole class habitat scene.

The YA Arts Lab has been an extraordinarily popular part of the school’s 2018-2019 curriculum. From Japanese drumming to fun, hands-on chemistry lessons to Hip-Hop Fundamentals, students have benefited greatly from an arts-infused education.

CRYOSURGERY FOR WARTS

“Cryosurgery” (freezing) is a common treatment for removing warts, which are infectious, noncancerous tumors caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This treatment involves the use of a cryostat gun to deliver a dose of liquid nitrogen to the wart. Except for very small warts or those on the hands, more than one treatment is often required. Larger warts and plantar warts sometimes require many treatments. In general, the removal of warts via cryosurgery usually requires between one to six treatments in total, performed once every three to five weeks for several months. If there is no improvement with cryosurgery, other treatment options are available.

If you would like more information about cryosurgery and its effects on your skin as well as the rest of your body, please feel free to give us a call. We’ll answer your questions, explain your options, and make sure you always play an active role in your treatment. Let us do what we do best—diagnose and treat your particular skin problems with compassion, knowledge, and up-to-date techniques and equipment.

P.S. Plantar warts on the soles of the feet have a high recurrence rate but usually resolve with repeated treatments.

Toms River “Art Heals” Community Mural Unveiled

─Photo courtesy Toms River Township

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 “I have always believed that funeral service was a vocation and not simply a career.”

- Tim Ryan

OUR SERVICES • Burial/Graveside Services • Cremation Services • Memorial Services • Specialty Funeral Services

OUR LOCATIONS 706 Grand Central Ave. Lavallette, NJ 08735 732-793-9000

TOMS RIVER – The Toms River “Art Heals” Community Mural was recently unveiled on the side of Cafe Enigma’s wall (located at 216 Main Street, Toms River).

The “Art Heals” mural was created by Sophie Regenye & Yvonne Yaar among many community volunteers. The mural will overlook a behavioral health center’s parking lot, as a reminder to their participants that Recovery Is Possible.

This 18 month long GSJS Girl Scout Cadette Silver Award project is meant to remind those struggling with addiction, mental health or co-occurring conditions that RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE. “ART HEALS” hopes to raise awareness of the impact mental health and addiction has on individuals, families and communities; increase awareness of the Opioid and Opiate Overdose Epidemic; and, decrease Stigma attached to mental health and addiction because Stigma can be paralyzing to families

and communities.

“ART HEALS” hopes to educate the public on facts related to substance abuse and educate the public on the many forms of artistic expression that can be very healing. Art Therapy is often incorporated into treatment programs as an enhancement.

Lastly, “ART HEALS” is meant to bring communities together and inspire others to get involved and make their community a better place in some way. This glass mosaic mural is expected to last approximately 30-40 years.

Special thanks to: Yvonne Yaar, TRAC Muralist leader; Downtown Toms River BID & Hope Sheds Light Inc. In Memory of: Neil Van De Putte, Zachary Wilson & Bernie Fornarotto.

Congratulations to Sophie Regenye, Yvonne Yaar and all of those involved for creating a beautiful mural for downtown Toms River!

A sound void is most commonly defined as a moment lacking clarity in hearing or understanding; an empty space in one’s life caused by the absence of sound clarity. Sound voids usually occur in specific listening situations where an individual’s hearing loss does not permit them to detect or understand important sounds and speech cues. Individuals often find that sound voids result in tiring, frustrating and embarrassing situations.

However you experience them – whether they happen during precious moments with your loved ones, critical conversations in the work place or in common everyday interactions – sound voids can detract from your ability to live your life to its fullest.

Do you often hear people talking but simply have difficulty understanding them?

Do you sometimes struggle to hear clearly in background noise?

Do you occasionally have trouble following the conversation in small groups?

Do you find it challenging to explain your hearing situation to others?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing the perception of “sound void”. The term sound void was created to help explain the gaps that some say that they experience in their day-to-day listening lives. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you should consider contacting your hearing health care professional today.

5 Mind-blowing Reasons You Should Take Selenium

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The Greek word “selene” means moon, and that’s where the trace mineral selenium gets its name. The most interesting part of selenium is that it’s sometimes used in dyes and paints to color things red.

Plants growing on Earth take up selenium into their roots. They get it from the soil and then it’s put into the food chain, and we obtain it through diet. Selenomethionine is a high-quality form of selenium that is also the main form of selenium occurring in Brazil nuts, cereal grains and soybeans.

Why would anyone want more selenium?

The main reason would be selenium’s powerful antioxidant properties. It helps neutralize free radicals by making two special detoxification enzymes: Catalase and Glutathione. Both of those enzymes are major players in terms of detoxification.

You’d die within minutes without them.

But there are 5 other mind-blowing reasons you should consider selenium: Selenium helps with breast cancer. Aside from selenium being a strong antioxidant which is useful in cancer situation, there is new research published in the journal, Nutrients (May 2019). Apparently, selenium is capable of alleviating lymphedema, commonly associated with breast cancer.

Lymphedema simply refers to the swelling that occurs in the arms and legs. Seventy-five percent of participants showed lymphedema improvement in just two weeks.

Selenium helps with the brain. The ability to neutralize oxidants which attack the brain helps reduce your personal risk of cognitive decline. Several selenium-derived proteins termed “selenoproteins” are expressed in

brain. We also know that both detoxification enzymes, glutathione and catalase, are present in glial cells. Glial cells feed and protect nerve cells. Selenium is needed to keep those glial cells healthy.

Selenium helps control hemochromatosis.

A genetic condition, overload of iron (hemochromatosis) is sometimes misdiagnosed and inadequately treated. Iron concentrations were slightly higher (up to 2 and a half times higher) in selenium deficient rodents.

The “Transferrin Saturation” with iron was almost twice as high in selenium deficient rodents, compared to those with normal levels of selenium.

Selenium helps make thyroid hormone.

Selenium has been shown in several clinical trials over the past few decades to slow the progression of, and reduce symptoms of thyroid illness. It’s needed for the enzymes that convert inactive thyroxine T4 to biologically active T3 and it’s needed to reduce TPO antibodies. Also, selenium might help with Graves’ eye problems, termed orbitopathy.

Selenium for PCOS. Selenium has insulin-like properties which means it can help with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. A new article published in the journal, Molecules (April 2019) suggests it may help with insulin resistance. There’s a definite correlation between low selenium leading to hypothyroidism, then leading to PCOS. Labs don’t usually pick this disorder up. Please grab a copy of my best-seller, Thyroid Healthy to learn more about thyroid conditions. And if you’d like more information on selenium, PCOS or dosing information, just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll send you the longer version of this article next week.

D-Day:

Continued From Page 5 6:30 a.m.: The landings on the American beaches Utah and Omaha begin 7 a.m.: The U.S. Army Rangers scale Pointe du Hoc - a critically located windswept promenade between the American beaches (topic of an upcoming second article) 7:30-7:45 a.m.: The British and Canadians land on their assigned beaches 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.: Troops move inland, at different times, at the different beaches, depending upon the intensity of the German defense 1 p.m.: U.S. Army paratroopers and landed infantry link up in the Utah Beach section 4 p.m.: At Omaha Beach - scene of the heaviest fighting - tanks begin to move inland By midnight: All five beachheads were secured.

All told, about 175,000 Americans, British, and Canadians had entered Normandy on June 6th. Estimates vary, but there were about 5,000 casualties in that one day.

The Germans: Too Late, Confused And Asleep At The Switch It was General Douglas MacArthur who said that “the history of the failure in war can be summed up in two words: Too late.

Too late in preparedness and too late in uniting all possible forces for resistance.”

That about describes the German response to the invasion: too late. They were too late in responding to the attack and they were

in an utter state of confusion and literally asleep at the switch.

Too Little: In January 1944, General Erwin Rommel, in charge of the German defense of Normandy, said: “I think we’re going to win the defense of the West for certain - provided we get enough time to set things up.” His efforts were too little and the clock ran out on him.

Begun in 1940, Hitler’s “Atlantic Wall” was supposed to repel any attack by sea.

After earlier responsibilities in the war most notably in North Africa - Rommel’s first inspection of the Western defenses was in November, 1943 and he immediately determined that it was inadequate.

The first months of 1944 saw an enormous campaign of building cement defenses, laying beach obstacles, and flooding low lying lands behind the beaches. But the length and breadth of the wall was too much and the resources committed were too little. Time ran out.

It took four years to build the wall; it was breached in a single day.

Too Divided: Beyond the material aspects of the defense, the Germans were divided and confused.

Rommel wanted to defeat the Allies on the beaches, but other of Hitler’s generals insisted on letting them move inland to crush them in a massive counterattack led by the vaunted Panzer tanks. Hitler compromised the disagreement by assigning three Panzer divisions to Rommel, but keeping four divisions in reserve. But, critically, only Hitler could order any tank division into battle and this would have devastating consequences.

Further complicating Rommel’s position was that he had no authority over German air or naval forces. This contrasted sharply with the Allies’ one supreme commander - Eisenhower.

Too Arrogant: Unbelievably, when the invasion did begin, only one German regimental commander was in Normandy.

The top generals were far away, inland, in Rennes - over 100 miles from the coast - playing “war games.” Rommel, himself, was at home in Germany celebrating his wife’s birthday and was not aware of the invasion until late morning.

When the first reports starting coming in from all over - dummy parachutists, air and naval bombardment - the Germans clung to their stubborn belief that it was just another false alarm and that the Pas de Calais would be the invasion site.

And Too Late: When the invasion began, the German Panzers were ready to go at 7:30 a.m. But the generals needed Hitler’s approval first - and he was still asleep.

Hitler would not awaken until 12 noon on June 6th and it would not be until 4 p.m. that he finally authorized use of the tanks. By then, it was too late. The Allies had already gained a significant foothold.

“Our Landings Have Failed” - Why D-Day Still Matters Today Tucked away and forgotten in his Army field jacket, Eisenhower had placed a handwritten note in case of defeat taking full responsibility. It said, in part, “our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops….If any

NOW OPEN!

blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”

He never had to make such an announcement.

But what if he had to? What if D-Day had failed? How would the world be different today?

From this ominous perspective, that battle 75 years ago on the beaches of Normandy was not just a battle, another battle, amongst many during World War Two. It was the battle. There was no alternative; there was no fallback position. It had to succeed.

One wonders what the world might be like today had the invasion failed.

On a personal level, Eisenhower fully expected to be relieved of command and (D-Day - See Page 24)

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Consumer Rights And Data Breach: Protecting Yourself From Identify Theft

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

The recent data breach by Equifax meant that sensitive personal information for 145 million Americans was potentially exposed, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers. This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft.

Monitor your Account Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution.

Review Credit Reports By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). You can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com, by phone or mail. Any site other than annualcreditreport.com is not part of the legally mandated free annual credit report program. Make sure you spell the annual-

creditreport.com domain Michael J. Deem name correctly and avoid look-alike scam sites.

Place a Freeze A credit freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit file and others from opening accounts in your name. A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account.

Set a fraud alert!

A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free.

You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft.

The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis.

A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

D-Day:

Continued From Page 5 in that case undoubtedly would have never become president.

Franklin Roosevelt, up for re-election just five months after D-Day, may very well have lost.

Churchill’s fragile, coalition “war cabinet” probably would have collapsed.

The Allied troops who had landed would have been trapped in France and left to a fate of capture or death.

The mass killing of Jews would have continued in Germany and its occupied countries.

And on a broader scale the war may have come to an end far from the way in which it did.

Perhaps the United States would have used the atomic bomb first on Germany.

Or, conventional warfare would have continued on the continent into 1946 and beyond. Since there was no contingency plan for D-Day’s failure, the war in Europe may have continued indefinitely.

But most ominous of all is the very likely geo-political result of failure: our war time ally, the Soviet Union’s Josef Stalin, already tired and suspicious of the years of waiting for a second front to open (he had been insisting on an attack from the West since 1942) would have sued for peace with Hitler and the two dictators would have again carved up Europe probably along the

lines of their original pact in 1939. What then would have happened?

What we do know is that D-Day - the largest amphibious invasion in the history of mankind - was successful. Within a year, Hitler would be dead and the war in Europe would be over. Several months later, Japan would surrender and World War Two would come to an end.

It was the seminal event of the 20th century and as that century was coming to a close, President Clinton, in 1994, at the 50th anniversary of the invasion, said “We are the children of your sacrifice.”

Now, 75 years later, let us be thankful for that sacrifice - the sacrifice of one generation, the “greatest generation” - given to future generations so that they may live in peace and freedom.

D-Day, 75 years later: Yes, it still matters.

THINKING PINK

Inflammation of the eyelid lining and white of the eye, known as “conjunctivitis,” produces redness and itching in the membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelid (the conjunctiva). Also known as “pink eye,” this highly contagious inflammation is usually caused by bacteria or a virus. If there is a clear, watery discharge from one or both eyes, the culprit is usually a virus from the adenovirus family, which can also cause cold-like symptoms. Pink eye caused by a virus usually clears up spontaneously in about two weeks. Pink eye caused by bacteria will show signs of a thick, crusty discharge, which should be treated with antibiotic drops or ointments prescribed by the ophthalmologist.

RP is diagnosed in part through an examination of the retina. An ophthalmologist will use an ophthalmoscope, a tool that allows for a wider, clear view of the retina. This typically reveals abnormal, dark pigment deposits that streak the retina. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

Around The Jersey Shore HSE Showcases Student Artwork

─Photo courtesy TRRS TOMS RIVER – An art showcase at High School East opened on May 15, the same night as the school’s National Art Honor Society (NAHS) induction ceremony. Showcased is skilled and imaginative artwork from students in grades 9-12. The display is open for viewing until mid-June.

TR:TechReady Students Work With Always Supporting Our Military

TOMS RIVER – Students who participated in last summer’s Office of Naval Research (ONR)-funded TR:TechReady summer programming camp met to continue collaborating with the leadership team of Toms River-based Always Supporting Our Military, helping the organization reimagine its website.

Suzanne Signorelli, a TR:TechReady team member and investigator, oversees this authentic learning experience. High School East students also recently collected care package items and wrote letters sent out by the nonprofit organization.

Always Supporting Our Military collects items to package for the men and women overseas such as shampoo, hand soap, non-aerosol shaving cream, hard candy, beef jerky, gum, cereal, eye drops, mouth wash, socks, hand-wipes, bug spray, cotton swabs, chap-stick, sunglasses, flip-flops, peanut butter, peanuts, conditioner, bobby pins, facial cleansers, panty liners, overnight pads, Midol, non-aerosol hair spray, hand lotion, etc.

To learn more about how you can help Always Supporting Our Military, whether it’s being a volunteer or donating some items or money to the group, you can reach them on Facebook, by phone at 732-349-0638, or by email at pasrmilitary@yahoo.com.

Students entering grades 7-12 in September 2019 are invited to apply to participate in one of six free two-week coding camps being held this summer at High School North July 22-25 and July 29-August 1, 2019. Up to six coding languages and their applications will be offered. Students will learn the basics of their chosen coding language, create a working product, learn about associated careers, and apply code to address real world issues.

In addition, the district is pleased this year to offer a girls-only coding camp July 15 through 18.

Girls are underrepresented in computer science and this opportunity offers girls a chance to see what they might be missing and what they can do for the world.

Summer workshops are designed for any student of any background. One need not have any knowledge of advanced math or computer science. TR:TechReady is an opportunity to see what’s amazing about coding and to challenge students to discover a new and possibly career-building interest. Space is limited to 25 per class and students will be selected at random from all applicants. Selected students will be expected to attend every day camp is in session and are asked to participate in at least one coding activity during the school year, with cool incentives offered. Register here by Monday May 27. The district also offers a summer TR STEM Camp.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 1 - june 7

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Find where you belong and connect with your tribe. You can make friends in the week ahead who will support your business ambitions or share your various interests.

Networking can help you achieve your goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be challenged by destabilizing influences in the week ahead. Every change of plan or unexpected event requires you to put on your thinking cap, but with the right attitude you can take it all in stride.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your own priorities may be at odds with what your romantic partner wants and needs. In the week ahead you may need to perform a balancing act to avoid the appearance of a lack of consideration that could undermine your relationship.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The wrong words can be impossible to un-say. When someone suffers from foot in-the-mouth disease the awkwardness can disrupt communications for some time. Make an effort to be honest but diplomatic in the upcoming week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Give an inch to gain a mile. You may experience challenges when engaged in one-on-one negotiations in the week ahead if you are unbending. At the workplace don’t take someone’s deceptions personally; it reflects on them, not you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dig in your heels and use your ambitions to make your way forward.

This could be a good week to begin a new diet or start newer and better habits because you can harness your willpower and exercise powerful self-discipline.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place at some point in the week ahead. Your generosity and fairness can counteract pressure and any attempts at coercion. You may feel resistant to new techniques or ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be as steady as a rock and you will rock it. People know they can rely upon you to be responsible, thoughtful and ethical.

You can be counted upon to offer a level-headed approach when others experience a crisis.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pollyanna looked for something good in everything and because she looked, she found it, so can you. Even if there are good reasons, think carefully before parting with your hard-earned cash in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Leave a legacy. You can build something substantial with your hard work and dedication. In the week to come you might be more concerned with realizing your ambitions rather than making others feel loved.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make an assessment of your budget before you make purchases, so you don’t waste your resources in the week ahead. Gather advice from an expert who can guide you on subjects such as living more sustainably.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Count your blessings daily, and before you count out dollars to spend. You may have some costly desires in the week ahead, but it’s really all about attitude. Ben Franklin said, “Contentment makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.”

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Make A Big, Fresh Impression As You Kick Off Summer Grilling Season

By Wolfgang Puck “Go big or go home!” You’re probably familiar with that popular expression, which some accounts say started in the 1990s with an ad slogan here in Southern California, where I live.

That phrase often makes sense to me when talking about cooking. But I don’t interpret it to mean serving huge portions. Instead, I believe in making big impressions by preparing the finest-quality ingredients in impressive, wonderfully flavorful ways, especially when cooking for a special occasion.

That brings us to the traditional kickoff of the summer grilling season on Memorial Day. Why plan a menu of ordinary burgers or hot dogs when it takes very little extra effort to “go big”?

I like to make sure burgers are special by topping or stuffing them with boldly flavored cheeses and accompanying them with crispy bacon and grilled onion slices. I’ll choose high-quality hot dogs, slit them lengthwise, stuff them with sharp cheddar cheese, and then wrap them round and round with bacon that crisps up on the grill. My steaks, chicken, chops, ribs and other barbecue staples gain extra distinction from bold marinades and generous arrays of fresh vegetables that surround them on the grill.

But what about seafood, you might wonder?

How can fish, which grills so quickly, offer much room for creativity? That speed never stops me. I like to skewer jumbo shrimp on branches of fresh rosemary, for example. I grilled whole sides of marinated salmon fillet and accompany them with delicious vegetable salads and garlicky, Greek-style yogurt sauces. And I top halves of hot-off-the-grill lobster with spicy butters that form an instant sauce right in the shell.

Whole medium-sized fish just large enough to serve four to six people offer some of the best opportunities for creativity. Choose a fresh variety that’s the right size for a home outdoor grill, like a 3-pound (1.5-kg) red snapper or sea bass, and it’s easy to make a really big impression, as you’ll see when you look over my recipe for Mediterranean-style grilled whole red snapper with fennel and Pernod butter sauce.

Keep sustainability in mind when shopping. Lots of fish sold as “red snapper” in markets today are not true red snapper, and some may not come from sustainable fishing practices. Always buy from a reputable fishmonger and look for red snapper caught in U.S. Gulf of Mexico waters, which is considered a good choice. A good alternative is branzino, also known as Mediterranean sea bass.

Let me offer one final word. I know that the idea of grilling a whole fish may seem daunting. But do it once, and you’ll be surprised by how easy it really is to “go big” when cook seafood in your own backyard!

MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE GRILLED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH FENNEL AND PERNOD BUTTER SAUCE Serves 4 to 6 For the fish: 1 whole fresh red snapper or other firm-fleshed mild white fish such as branzino or sea bass, about 3 pounds (1.5 kg), gills, guts and scales removed

Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, fronds reserved, bulbs cut into slices 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick 6 sprigs fresh thyme 2 sprigs fresh oregano 1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil For the Pernod butter sauce: 1/4 cup (60 mL) water 1 lemon, juiced 1 tablespoon Pernod 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces Tender inner fronds from 1 fennel bulb (see above), finely chopped Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Build a hot fire in an outdoor charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill on high.

Meanwhile, rinse the snapper inside and out with cold running water. Pat thoroughly dry inside and out with paper towels. With kitchen shears, cut off any large fins. Season the cavity with salt and pepper.

Stuff the fronds from 1 fennel bulb into the cavity.

Add the thyme and oregano, and press the cavity closed. With a sharp knife, cut three equally spaced diagonal slashes through the skin and down to the bone in the flesh on each side of the fish. Insert one lemon slice into each slit. Brush the fish all over with olive oil and season the outside with salt and pepper.

With a grill brush, scrub the grill’s cooking grid.

Quickly and carefully brush the surface of the hot grid with olive oil. Place the stuffed fish diagonally across the preheated grid and cook for about 10 minutes; then, carefully slide two sturdy grill spatulas under the fish and rotate it 90 degrees, sliding out the spatulas and leaving the fish to cook on the same side until the flesh is firm but still moist, about 5 minutes longer.

Carefully use the spatulas to turn the fish over and cook on the other side for at least 10 minutes, until the flesh looks opaque and lifts easily from the bone but is still moist.

As soon as the fish starts cooking, place the fennel slices on a large platter, drizzle with olive oil, and turn to coat evenly. When you turn the fish over, arrange the slices on the grill and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and keep warm.

For the sauce, place a small saucepan on the grill or on a stove burner over medium heat. Add the water, and bring to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and Pernod, and cook until reduced by about a third.

Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until fully incorporated; then, whisk in the chopped fennel fronds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

With the metal spatulas, carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a large serving platter.

To serve, starting at the slits cut in the flesh before cooking, use a spatula to lift portions of the fillet from the bone, transferring to individual serving plates. Arrange grilled fennel slices around the fish and spoon some sauce over each portion.
