THE JACKSON

WWW.MICROMEDIAPUBS.COM

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – A local singing sensation made it to the top 10 of American Idol, seeing a swell of local support and community pride follow her along the journey. Gianna Isabella Petrone made the top ten, but failed to crack the top 8. Jackson’s American Idol Gianna was not saved by votes or judges on the March 3 episode. She and fellow Idol Olivia Rox were sent home, with the judges keeping Avalon Young in the competition. Despite the loss, Gianna had a message for her sup-porters on her Facebook page, posted just hours after her exit from the show. “So happy to say I made top ten! Although I did not make top eight, that’s okay! I am not sad at all I’m grateful and super ecstatic to have had this chance to be on such a legendary show so much fun singing in front of three amazing judges and singing with Demi Lovato today! What a crazy journey this has been. It takes a ton of No’s until you get that one yes and make all of your dreams come to life. I am only going up from here, no regrets and no looking back. I owe a huge thank you to American Idol within the amount of time I’ve been on the show I can really tell how much I have grown,” Gianna wrote. “Vocally, stage prescience wise, and so many others ways.

By Catherine Galioto JACKSON – The school district is readying its annual budget and tax rate, and is inviting the public to hear presentations from departments such as athletics, curriculum and facilities to find out what the spending plan could look like. “Each year at this time of year,

to always stay optimistic and happy because if you are sad it won’t change the situation all I have to say is a ton of more music is coming your way.” Her schedule was jam packed the following day with appearances and interviews across Los Ange-les. Hours after her Facebook post, she took to social media again, this time with a video, to thank her fans for sending their well wishes, but assuring them she’s okay. “A lot of you have been saying you’re sorry and you’re sad and stuff. Please don’t be sad. There’s nothing to be sad about,” she said. “I just wanted to thank you for always supporting me.” She said it was “insane” that she even made it into the top, especially being only 15 years old.Reports across social media the previous weak pegged her performance as “shaky,” as pointed out by judges Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. While she was warned to stay away from comments on social media sites, Gianna said she does read them and has a mes-sage for her haters. “Many people have told me to not read comments, or tweets, etc. because they are not always going to be kind. I read them regardless and I know I shouldn’t

singing and I am human, I will not always have amazing performances but that just shows you I am human,” she wrote. The dream is very much alive, she said. “I am beyond blessed to even be at top ten in this competition but I intend on pushing myself harder and harder each week to make it farther. Your negative comments will make

me work harder and the positive one make me love what I do. To those who say I don’t belong in this competition I will prove to you I do belong in this competition and I love what I do. I will show you how much this dream means to me and how badly I want to make it reality,” she said. Gianna, a student at Jackson Memorial High

School, made it clear at her farewell pep rally in February that she plans to stay in L.A. to pursue a music career. This is Idol’s final season. The top 8 contes-tants the remain are Young, Dalton Rapatto-ni, La’Porsha Renae, Lee Jean, MacKenzie Bourg, Sonika Vaid, Trent Harmon and Tristan McIntosh.

My wife and I just visited the WWII Veterans Memo-rial Park in Whiting and I must say that who ever de-signed this memorial did an outstanding job in honoring those that served in WWII. I don’t how visitors no-ticed, but we did, there isn’t any memorial honoring the women who served in WWII. Over the years I have met a number of women who have served, and like the men, they had buddies that were killed and injured. Women played important roles during WWII, both at home and in uniform. Women worked in defense plants and volunteered for war related organizations. Nearly 350,000 women served in uniform. General Eisenhower felt he could not win the war without the aid of the women in uniform. Women served and died, some were captured and were POWs. More than 1,600 nurses were decorated for bravery. In the Pacific Theater, 565 WACs won combat decorations. We need to recognize the contribution that women played in WWII victory. We need a memorial at the park honoring all those women that served in WWII.Jerry DolanWhiting

The letter “What Is The President’s Legacy?” print-ed February 20, 2016 could not have been more wrong. The letter faults President Barack Obama with the divisiveness in Washing-ton. It was Senator Mitch McConnell who stated at the beginning of President Barack Obama’s term that he was going to make him a one term president. The current Republican Party is well documented with re-moving any member who is willing to compromise on legislation. The presumed successor to John Boehner, Eric Cantor, was probably the biggest example of that viewpoint. President Barack Obama came into office when the country was in chaos. The country was in the Great Recession, involved in two wars, millions of Ameri-cans had no healthcare and others were denied health-care due to preexisting conditions. The debt was at ten trillion dollars from a surplus eight years prior, and it was on a projection to continue into the future. Medicare was projected to be running a deficit by 2016. If President Barack Obama violated the Constitution as the writer states, all anyone has to do is sue to the Su-

This is in response to the February 13 letter regard-ing the origin of moral values. The writer alleges that morality is based upon human experience, and not from a belief in God and the Bible. However, he is correct that moral values “blossomed in the human heart…before the advent of Christ.” But the ques-tion arises, where did they originally “blossom” from? Why do we value the vir-tues of morality? Because they are part of God’s char-acter. If someone doesn’t believe in God, why do they believe in human rights? If you just feel that there should be human rights, then where do these non-physical feelings come from? Even evolutionists are at a loss to explain where the conscience and moral values came from. You can deny God all you want, but your conscience is always bearing witness, and there is no escape from what is real—the God who is real. Denial offers only a brief postponement of the inevitable. With our God-given morality, we judge (and punish) those who do not abide by the virtues of our Creator, as God will do as well to those who rebel against His rules. Opinions and belief don’t change reality, or make people “less moral”—they just make them account-able.Charles HenkeBrick

A History Lesson For Liberals

headlights. They just don’t comprehend danger. But, let’s try. The economic crisis was not caused by greedy bil-lionaires or Wall Street. It began with the government program in the Carter Ad-ministration and was su-per-charged in the Clinton Administration. President Carter admi-rably promoted the HUD program building homes for those who could not afford them. What he failed to realize was that many of the recipients of those homes would not be able to afford the homes’ maintenance and upkeep. Much of the tax money ended up being wasted as many homes fell into disrepair. Continuing with promot-ing the “American Dream” of home ownership, Pres-ident Clinton, in 1999, re-pealed a 1933 law that kept risky loans from being cou-pled with those considered sound. He then pressured banks to relax their lending requirements so that those who had been considered unqualified could be ap-proved for loans on homes the banks knew they could not afford to pay back. Clin-ton threatened the banks to make the loans or suffer government retaliation in the form of penalties. The banks complied. In or-der to save themselves from sure destruction, the banks coupled loans they previ-ously would not have ap-proved with those that were more secure, and sold these as investment packages all over the world. Eventually,

as the banks predicted, the bad loans went unpaid causing a worldwide crisis. President Bush foresaw the problem and tried to modify the government program several times, but was stymied by a Democrat Congress. So, when you hear that mind-numbing phrase “It’s Bush’s fault,” know that it is not; just as it is not the fault of greedy billionaires or Wall Street. The crisis was caused by short-sighted politicians that ignored the advice of professionals and thought themselves to be economic or military geniuses. Vote wisely.Joseph SemiraroBayville

NEW JERSEY – Leg-islat ion int roduced by Assembly Republican Ron Dancer protects the safety and privacy of members of the U.S. military or the New Jersey National Guard. The bill (A-2918) prohibits a person from knowingly publishing a military service member’s home address or unlisted phone number online with the intent of exposing the service member to risk of harm to life or property. “Terrorists around the

OCEAN COUNTY – Pop-ular recycling programs, such as the Ocean Coun-ty Household Hazardous Waste Collection program and the Master Composter program, will continue in 2016 with the help of fund-ing from a state recycling grant. Ocean County anticipates receiving $580,446 from the 2015 Recycling En-hancement Act Tax Fund – County Entitlement pro-gram. The county annually submits a spending plan

Recycling Activities Get Boost From Grantto the state on how it will disperse the funds. This program provides funding for solid waste management and recycling activities from a $3 per ton tax levied on disposal facilities, said to Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the county’s Solid Waste Management Department. “With this funding we can continue recycling pro-grams that provide numer-ous environmental benefits and assist our citizens,”

Lit tle said. “This grant program returns money to the county and also its municipalities.” Municipalities participate in the program with 60 per-cent of the funds returned to the towns under the state’s tonnage grant re-bate program. The amount received is based on the amount recycled. Little said that Ocean County plans to use about $100,000 to continue the county’s Household Haz-ardous Waste Collection

program, which allows citizens to rid their homes of a host of hazardous items which are then properly disposed of under the pro-gram. “Recent changes to the household hazardous waste program, which provides for collections to be spread throughout most of the year, has made the pro-gram more accessible and convenient,” Little said. “This is a program we want to see continued. Giving homeowners the ability to

properly dispose of sub-stances like boat cleaners, paint thinners and a host of items makes for a cleaner environment and a safer home.” In addition, Ocean County intends to use the money to support the Ocean County Health Department recy-cling compliance program and the Ocean County Mas-ter Composter program. “Our master composters help educate and provide information on the impor-tance of recycling,” Little

said. “Our residents who go through the program give back to the communities and that is a key component of the program.” Little said the county will also use some of the money to help partially fund the purchase of a roll-off truck and a wheel loader. The equipment is used to move materials and for the county’s composting program. “All of this helps with the county’s recycling efforts,” Little said.

Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer

Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer Capitol Comments 12th Legislative District

Dancer Bill Protects Health Insurance Holders & HospitalsMonmouth. “Hospitals and doctors are concerned that changes make it more difficult to survive in a market that has been dis-rupted and complicated by ObamaCare. Clearly, the process that gave us OMNIA is f lawed. My legislation (A-1693) will prevent something like this from happening again.” OMNIA separates hos-pitals in the state into two tiers, offering customers a lower-cost option for

care at “Tier 2” hospitals. Horizon says the decision process used general cri-teria, including cost and quality of care. Facilities assigned to the second tier complain that Horizon has not shared the criteria or scoring used to assign tiers. “The health of patients and level of care should be the top priority, and there should not be any future classification system that stigmatizes our health pro-

viders and consumers by classifying any hospital as second rate,” said Dancer. According to Dancer, “Under my legislat ion the insurance companies would be required to have prior consultation with hospit a ls and medical professionals before at-tempting to unilaterally implement any new clas-sif ication system in the future. The process that gave us OMNIA was done in a vacuum and should

never happen again.” Dancer’s bill directs the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance to review, prior to approving, any proposed tiered-like sys-tem in the future with ad-vice from the New Jersey Hospital Association, the New Jersey Medical So-ciety and members of the public who have expertise in providing health care services. “We’re going to pull the process out of the shadows.

No more surprises,” said Dancer. “These decisions affect lives and pocket-books. They should not be made unilaterally and secretively. Panels of ex-perts will ensure that the interests of policy holders and service providers are being addressed.”

Bill Defends Military Personnel From Internet Terroristsglobe a re preoccupied with harming our country and the dedicated men and women who defend it,” said Dancer, R – Ocean, Burl ing ton, Middlesex and Monmouth. “When personal information is exposed on the Internet, our military personnel and their families become vulnerable. Not only will this bill protect privacy, it will protect lives.” Dancer explained that recently, ISIS militants called on supporters to

search online resources for the addresses of Amer-ican se r v ice members and their families, and to “show up” at their homes. The U.S. Army Threat Integration Center issued an intelligence bulletin warning military person-nel about the threat and urging them to be extra vigilant. “We should do every-thing we can to assure the safety of our troops, especially in their own homes ,” Da nce r sa id .

“This is a necessary pre-caution at a t ime when our enemies are using technology as a weapon against our country.”

The legislation is mod-eled after a similar mea-sure - recently signed into law in New Jersey - pro-tecting law enforcement.

Under Dancer’s bill, an offender can face from 18 months to f ive years in prison and a fine up to $15,000.

JACKSON – Sixth and seventh grade stu-dents at Saint Aloysius School recently took part in the Verizon App Challenge. This is a nationwide contest for middle and high school-aged students that challenge them to develop concepts for mobile apps that solve a problem in their community. It is a unique, hands-on learning program that teaches collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving and entre-preneurship. Its aim is to equip students with skills needed to succeed in the jobs of the future, delivering to students the promise of a brighter future. Sixth and seventh grade students learned how to design, research, document and present an original app to address a problem or need that has affected their team personally, or that their team is in a unique position to solve. The students broke up into several groups and each group developed its’ own particular app, however, they fell into similar ‘app’ catego-ries: “To Help Handle Stress and Anxiety in School,” “World Language Translator,” “To Address Bullying, To Address Depression

and Suicide” and “To Assist You In case of Fire or Burglary.” Throughout the process, the students also increased their skills in the areas of teamwork and collaboration by working in teams of five to seven members; critical thinking and creative problem solving and entrepreneurial skills. As a result of looking at the needs of the community, the students also built upon their existing character including empathy and grit. One student, Daniel F. commented, “It helped me become a better person by thinking about, and working with my team to develop an application to help the kids who were bullied and less fortunate.” While the students were not successful in winning the challenge, it was a creative educa-tional event to be involved in and they intend to enter again in the future.

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and there-fore are at a disadvantage. Decreased hear-ing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fire emergency. Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fire. This includes being aware of the availability of flashing and/or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place. Have the proper alerting system: Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you cannot hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fires occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fires account for more than half of all home fire deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors produce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent stud-ies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in waking up children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drink. In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high fre-quency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a flashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test all smoke alarms monthly and change

the batteries at least once a year. People with hearing loss are at greater risk from night time fires because their hearing instruments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close. The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also flash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously. There are a great number of smoke detec-tors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside fire alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed. The combination of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great alerting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors. Plan your escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fire safety plan and practice it with them. Contact your local fire department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alarm placement. They can also keep your infor-mation on file. For more information about fire safety, visit usfa.fema.gov.

LAKEWOOD – The National Council On Aging Resource Center, located in Lakewood, has programs for adults aged 55 and over, and for businesses looking for employees. Created in 1965, the Senior Community Service Employment program is the nation’s oldest program to help low-income, unem-ployed individuals age 55 and over find work. In these times of economic insecurity, layoffs and a lack of jobs, SCSEP is an invaluable service for those citizens who have come upon hard times. SCSEP matches eligible older adults with part-time, temporary training assignments for community service organizations. Participants build skills and self-confidence, while earning a modest income. For some, their SCSEP experience can lead to permanent employment. If you are a non-profit or government agen-

cy, you can become a SCSEP Host Agency Training Site at no cost to you. The qualified participant you select will be assigned and trained part-time at your agency. The ulti-mate goal of SCSEP is for the participant to be hired as an unsubsidized employee. The SCSEP On-The-Job Experience pro-gram is a SCSEP training option that helps local businesses fill positions with reliable employees without having to spend thou-sands of dollars on recruiting and training costs. OJE will pay the cost of on-the-job training and workers’ comp for a limited time period for your participant.

Natural Alternatives To Antibiotics

Some of you take several antibiotics each and every day, while some of you avoid them like the plague. The pros of a traditional antibiotic is that you can keep your infection from achieving full-blown status, or as some experts suggest, you chase the bugs into biofilms where they can’t be killed but your symptoms go away. Organisms that go into biofilm are going into ‘submission’ for lack of a better word and they’ll do that sometimes in the presence of an antibiotic. Traditional antibiotics can cure pneumonia, or life-threatening infections from the dead-ly “kissing bug,” or hair ties. Yes hair ties. Google Audree Kopp, she almost died from sepsis from her hair tie. Point is, drugs are sometimes handy. But I’m not convinced of their safety for long-term or less serious infection. They change who you are. When you take an antibiotic, you destroy your gut flora, which has an impact on your personality. That’s why you need probiot-ics. Plus probiotics impact your digestion, your mood and ability to fight cancer and infection. A disadvantage of antibiotics is that you become resistant to them quickly. What will you do when they stop working? Think this out with me, penicillin is just penicillin. It’s easy for a germ to outsmart one ingredient. With something like garlic, there are at least 35 known active constituents making it super hard for a bug to get around and become a “superbug.” Capiche? I’m a pharmacist, trust me on this. My antibi-otics are simple substances. Pathogenic organ-isms have been around the Earth for eons, and they are much smarter. They can outsmart the drugs because unlike herbs, pharmaceuticals don’t have hundreds of biologically active constituents. Scientific research is never going to agree with me or other natural healers like the scantily dressed “medicine” man, licensed

naturopaths/c h i r o p r a c -tors or even grandmothers so don’t wait for an FDA stamp, but to me it’s almost like “Duh?!” Today’s article is to offer some herbal alter-natives in case you need to kill ‘something’ in you without killing yourself. Please discuss all changes to your health regimen with your doctor, since I am not one: Brazilian Propolis – With the help of bees, this popular tree resin packs a punch. It can be taken by mouth, or directly applied to wounds. It may help with colds, flu or sore throats. This is an all-around immunity aid, and a brand new study found that it could help with organisms found in dental biofilms (S. mutans) which contribute to cracked teeth. Cat’s Claw – A strong antimicrobial and antiviral which is often used in Lyme, and sometimes HIV as an adjunctive remedy. Anyone could use it for a general infection. It has some anti-cancer affect, and it reduces TNF alpha (an inflammatory cytokine). Useful for Crohn’s as well. Colloidal Silver – Everyone’s favorite, this may be useful for staph in the nose. Studies have shown that topical colloidal silver solu-tion has effective antibiofilm activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and tons of other organisms. Oregano – It’s a strong anti-fungal and may be useful for Candida, as well as parasites. Some people dilute it with a little coconut oil and apply it to the skin (not on broken skin though), where there is signs of fungal infection. The carvacrol component of wild oregano oil has activity against MRSA and C. difficile. Teasel Root – May inhibit growth of Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme). It can extract bacteria from muscle tissue where antibiotics have a hard time penetrating.

OCEAN COUNTY – Community Med-ical Center’s Community Health Ser-vices, part of Barnabas Health, through a grant provided by the New Jersey De-partment of Health and Senior Services, coordinates the New Jersey Cancer Ed-ucation and Early Detection program in Ocean County. Currently, free clinical health screenings are available to unin-sured women in Ocean County. The program provides free clinical breast examinations, mammograms, cervical exams and pap smears to un-insured women between the ages of

40 and 64. To qualify for the program, participants must meet specific income requirements.

LAKEWOOD – The BlueClaws and West Virginia Power are teaming up to welcome Superman and Batman to FirstEnergy Park on May 15. The two teams will each wear special jerseys – the BlueClaws will wear Superman jerseys and the Power will wear Batman jerseys – during their game that day while the characters will be at the game for an appearance. The day’s festivities are presented by Hori-zon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. This game marks the first time the Blue-Claws have partnered with the visiting team for dueling–theme jerseys in a game at FirstEnergy Park. The two characters, Superman and Bat-man, will be available on the concourse for pictures with fans beginning at 1:05 p.m., just after the game’s first pitch. In addition, the BlueClaws will have 1,000 superhero capes for fans ages 18 and under. There will be 500 Batman-style capes and 500 Superman-style capes. Fans can “vote” by picking their favorite cape as they enter the ballpark. Beginning at 11:30 a.m. that morning, Batman and Superman will be upstairs for a VIP meet-and-greet with BlueClaws fans. The special VIP event will take place in the BlueClaws Executive Conference Center and include: ticket to the game, picture (which will be printed for you) with both characters (one photo per child), guaranteed cape giveaway (choice of Superman or Bat-man cape), high-five tunnel on the field with characters before the game, activities and light refreshments in the pre-game meet-and-greet and early entrance to the ballpark. Space is extremely limited. Tickets for the VIP Meet-and-Greet must be reserved in advance by visiting blueclaws.com. The tickets are $20 per person. The teams will renew their rivalry - wear-ing the Superman and Batman jerseys - later in the season in West Virginia. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. They have led the South Atlantic League and New Jersey in attendance in all 15 years of existence. Ticket packages and group outings are currently on sale by calling 732-901-7000 option 3 or online at BlueClaws.com.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

I Know About This SchoolDear Joel, I have a son who has learning and behavior issues. It has been suggest-ed to me that he attend a therapeutic school. I have been doing my re-search and am terrified by the price per year. There is no way that I can afford even a year of that education. Additionally what I am finding out is that many of these schools are located on the West Coast. Any suggestions?Answer: Every child in New Jersey is entitled to an education. There are therapeutic schools throughout the entire coun-try. Some of the schools can cost $100,000 including room and board.Virtually no one can afford those high dollar amounts. You must start with the guidance counselor at school. Ask if the prin-cipal can be present at the meeting

as well. Do not be sur-prised if you are met with resistance. The school districts do not like to shell out any extra monies for any student. You may have to meet with the school board in your district. De-pending upon where you live, it can be just a battle to a full blown war. If it gets to be very difficult, there are attorneys who specialize in get-ting students extra funding for their special needs. If you need further help please do not hesitate to write me.

Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com.

OCEAN COUNTY – The U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency has awarded a grant of $184,548 to Ocean County College to fund wetlands monitoring work by the Barnegat Bay Partnership and the Partner-ship for the Delaware Estuary. This grant was one of three awards to agencies in New Jersey to better protect the state’s wetlands. “Wetlands play a critical role in alleviating harmful effects of climate change, protect-ing against flooding and storm surges,” said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. “These grants will help strengthen shorelines and the health of wetlands, pro-tecting water quality and fish and wildlife habitats.” The EPA grant will be used to develop monitoring procedures to assess the condi-tion and progress of tidal marsh restoration sites. The project will build on the wetland monitoring work that the BBP has already been doing in collaboration with the Part-nership for the Delaware Estuary.

The BBP and PDE will evaluate restoration progress in the context of the ongoing long-term intensive monitoring and wa-tershed-wide rapid assessment monitoring being conducted in tidal marshes in the Barnegat and Delaware estuaries. “Superstorm Sandy had a devastating impact on many of the Barnegat Bay’s wet-lands,” said Dr. Stan Hales, BBP Director. “The storm caused extensive loss from the edges and interiors of marshes. The storm damage also included complex changes to the marsh surface. It’s important to under-stand these changes and monitor the effec-tiveness of wetlands restoration projects.”

Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insur-ance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices: you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you, and only provides $15,000 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Un-insured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the accident is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Stan-dard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide com-pensation to you and your family if you are

injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the acci-dent then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit op-tion.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: death, dismemberment; significant scarring or disfigurement; displaced fractures; loss of fetus or a permanent injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associ-ates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

It always surprises me how many chefs love to talk about “secret” reci-pes that they won’t divulge to anyone, no matter how polite or pleading the request might be. Why? Because, to tell you the truth, there aren’t really that many top secrets in the world of restaurants. Most experienced chefs can look at and taste a dish in a restaurant and figure out pretty easily how to repro-duce it after a little trial and error. And very few chefs would ever dream of “stealing” someone else’s recipe, because part of any good cook’s sig-nature style is all the personal twists that add up to make a particular dish uniquely his or hers. Add to that sim-ple cooking talent - culinary skills, a good sense of taste and beautiful ways of presenting food - combined with great service, and a restaurant succeeds without necessarily having any top secrets. That’s why I have no hesitation in shar ing my own “secrets” for Cut restaurant’s butter lettuce and blue cheese salad. This beautiful salad has become one of the most popular first courses at Cut. Why? The combination of ingredients is just r ight: tender leaves, creamy crumbles of rich and tangy cheese, sweet cherry tomatoes, a touch of creamy avocado, fragrant fresh herbs and a light, spicy dress-ing. It’s also a perfect beginning to a meal featuring a robust main course, though I k now many g uest s who also enjoy it before a lighter seafood course. Of course, the quality of ingredients is important. I especially like to use a great blue cheese such as those from Maytag Dairy Farms or Point Reyes, or impor ted Roquefor t or St i lton. Sher ry vinegar adds just the r ight tangy f lavor to the d ressing, and cherry tomatoes promise touches of sweetness and beautiful color what-ever the season. Finally, there’s the presentation. Rather than just tossing the salad, I love to stack the ingredients on each plate in a beautiful lit tle tower. It takes just a few minutes to do, but pro-duces an edible work of art that really wows everyone. After all, we eat with our eyes before food ever reaches our mouths. And that’s no secret!

CUT RESTAURANT BUTTER LETTUCE AND BLUE CHEESE

SALAD Serves 4

HONEY-DIJON VINAIGRETTE:1 1/2 tablespoons f resh tar ragon, chopped

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 2 to 4 teaspoons honey 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oilKosher salt Freshly ground black pepper

SALAD:1 1/2 to 2 heads butter lettuce, sepa-rated, rinsed well and dried, 20 to 24 leaves total1 ripe Hass-style avocado4 ounces blue cheese, crumbledFresh dill, separated into small sprigsFresh chervil, separated into small sprigsFresh tarragon, separated into indi-vidual leavesFresh chives, cut into 1- to 2-inch (2.5- to 5-cm) piecesOrganic celery, small leaves only, stalks reserved for another use20 cherry tomatoes, cut in half First, make the Honey-Dijon Vin-aigrette. In a mixing bowl, whisk to-gether the chopped tarragon, vinegar, honey and mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. While whisk-ing continuously, drizzle in the oil, continuing until a thick and creamy emulsion forms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. Separate the butter lettuce leaves. Rinse them well under cold running water, and then pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel or pa-per towels. Select 20 to 24 leaves to-tal, reserving the rest for another use. With a sharp, sturdy knife, cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Grasp the avocado between your hands and twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them. To remove the pit, use a tablespoon to scoop it out. With a large spoon, scoop out the f lesh whole from the skin of each half. Cut the f lesh of each half lengthwise in half again, then crosswise into thin slices. Put a one of the largest let tuce leaves on each serving plate, facing upward like a cup. Drizzle with a lit-tle vinaigrette. Add a few blue cheese crumbles, herbs and celery leaves. Top with another lettuce leaf, more dress-ing, some tomato slices and avocado pieces. Continue layering like this, balancing the leaves so the stack stays upr ight, until all ingredients have been used, reserving a few crumbles of cheese, tomato and avocado pieces, and fresh herbs to garnish each plate. Serve the salads immediately.

Top Secret! You Won’t Believe How Easy It Is To Make This Restaurant Favorite

For the week of March 12- March 18

By Jeraldine Saunders

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Cooperation is the operative word. Give in with good grace as this week unfolds. The ball is in the other person’s court at work. You must let the other person take the lead if you take a turn on the dance floor of love. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Negotiations stride forward with giant steps. If you are a real team player and make fairness a priority you can strike a deal that pleases all the people all the time. You may be inspired to adopt new goals this week.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Steer clear of power struggles in the early part of the week. Those in charge could be in the mood to throw some weight around and you don’t want to be in the way when it lands. Avoid starting new projects. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Learn to be wise. Read and study. Your week will unwind flawlessly if you put your trust in others and refuse to bow to outside pressures. Pay close attention to human moods and business will take care of itself.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Fill up your bank account the old fashioned way. Your wisdom about financial matters will keep you from falling into bad habits. In the week ahead a partner will prove to be entirely trustworthy and dispel your doubts. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a decided advantage in the week ahead. Although a financial matter could cause concern, you will find creative solutions at your fingertips. Your ability to compromise will put you at the head of the pack.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Industry and initiative can pay off. Cash might not grow on trees but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick some up that

is right under your feet. Avoid confrontations early in the week when touchy feelings may be in play.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Investigate before you invest. Finances can end up on a roller coaster ride if you dip into the piggy bank early in the week. Be big hearted and overlook disapproval from partners as a turnaround is just around the corner.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week ahead you may be bombarded by conflicting viewpoints. Wait until the dust settles to make a major decision. Just because one responsibility is erased doesn’t mean you should immediately take on another one.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Just be-cause you have the advantage of a better education or financial resources doesn’t mean you should take advantage of others. Tap into inner wisdom to protect you from making poor business decisions this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Minor moodiness may mar the beginning of the week. Be on your best behavior and don’t step on other people’s toes just to have your way. Passing squab-bles subside quickly but could block your attempts at financial gain. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on love and affection rather than money in the week ahead. Your business judgment could be off kilter, but people will trust your ideas anyway. Do yourself a favor and don’t offer financial advice to any friends.(c) 2016 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.
