List Shows Where Canvassers Permitted To Knock
By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Residents can now see online who has canvassing permits. Jackson residents welcomed changes to the solicitation code, which strengthened sanctions against canvassers breaking the law. But some residents wanted a list of those who were given a permit and where they would be canvassing. However, such an online resource wasn’t part of the ordinance wording. Then-Council President Barry Calogero suggested the list was something the council would consider, and it did. The list went up mid-January. The PDFs include the letter sent to the canvasser from the township, a copy of the township-issued certificate that they must carry on them and a list of roads where they will be canvassing. Canvassers must also carry the no-knock registry with them, which is not provided online but will be e-mailed to them. (Knock - See Page 6)

SCHOOL DISTRICT LOOKS AT ACTIVE SHOOTER EMERGENCIES
–Photo by Jennifer Peacock School Resource Officer Colin Menafra presents ALICE training information to the Jackson Township Board of Education. By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – It’s something no one wants to think about, but which they must prepare. The Jackson Township School District is piloting a program at Goetz Middle
School that would change the way the district handles active shooter emergencies. ALICE — which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate—is a program developed by police officers from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and first imple-
mented and tested in one officer’s wife’s school. The training has spread across the country and is used not just in schools but anywhere groups of people meet and may be vulnerable: universities, hospitals (Emergency - See Page 4)

and churches. A letter went out to district parents in late January detailing the plan but stressing that no changes have been made. Communications Coordinator Allison Erwin told The Jackson Times that Goetz teachers and staff will continue to work with school resource officers the rest of the school year on ALICE training. The district will seek feedback from staff, police and parents and decide what elements of ALICE, if any, it may adopt. School Resource Officer Colin Menafra spoke to the Board of Education about ALICE. Many schools have a lock-andhide protocol—staff lock doors and hide with students in hopes of not being seen—that leaves them vulnerable to attack should an active shooter gain access

to their location. Menafra said it’s been that way since the Columbine High School shooting back in 1999, and much hasn’t changed. “Everyone else is moving forward, what I mean is, the bad people are moving forward. We need to continue to move forward,” Menafra said. Erwin told The Jackson Times that the district obviously doesn’t want to divulge its specific protocols for dealing with such incidents, but that schools do lockdown during emergencies. ALICE training employs a different tactic. While Menafra pointed out that ALICE isn’t a complete procedure, but more a set of general recommendations to be molded to each specific institution’s needs—high school students will be capable of actions their elementary school peers are not—it does engage staff and students to actively hinder a shooter and
buy more time for police to arrive. If an active shooter is suspected or confirmed, an “alert” will be sent out however possible, not just to those in the immediate danger zone but to all schools and police. Then classrooms, offices, etc. will go on “lockdown,” as they would with current protocol. Using whatever technology necessary, staff and students will “inform” police of any new information they can: where the shooter is, his description, location. Students and staff will “counter” the shooter by means of barricades, distractions. Anyone who is able to safely leave will “evacuate” the premises. How this would play out depends on the school. “It will give teachers and students options and buy police time,” Menafra said. “Time is a huge thing here. If we can get minutes, seconds, that’s golden
here, to prevent someone from getting killed or hurt.” Menafra, along with fellow SRO John Pejoski and Lt. John Convery said most school shootings involve one shooter and last several minutes. Using ALICE tactics can buy them that time. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are nearly 137,000 public and private schools and post-secondary institutions in the United States. The non-partisan nonprofit group. Everytownresearch.org reported that since 2013, there have been 164 school shootings; of four shootings reported for 2016, three were unintentional and two resulted in injuries. National Rifle Association spokesman Lars Dalseide confirmed to The Jackson Times that the statistics do include everything from suicides on school property to accidental discharges.

Visit jacksontwpnj.net and click on “I’m looking for...” then click “Approved Canvassing Permits” to see the list. As of presstime, there were four canvassers’ permits listed on the township website. All four are real estate agents. Two of those permits expired at the end of January. Residents have appeared at council meetings and Mayor Michael Reina’s “meet the mayor” time to complain about solicitors approaching them at all hours, asking if they would consider selling their homes. Murmurs of harassment, blockbusting and trespassing also came to light, especially from residents from the Brookwoods who attended meetings. The council passed changes over the summer. Canvassers seeking solicitation permits must provide detailed information about all canvassers, including details about their vehicles, proof of insurance that covers personal injury and property damage and photographs of the applicant. Applicants must specify the street or streets where they will canvas; permits must be requested at least 14 days in ad-
vance and once approved are valid for 30 days. Permits must be re-approved by the same process. Real estate permit holders may only canvass from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 2 p.m. Sundays. Violators are subject to fines of up to $1,250 for a first offense and possible jail time of 90 days. Canvassing permits may also be permanently revoked. Violators’ actions may also be reported to the Real Estate Commission, the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights, or any other appropriate state or federal agency for disposition. Persons who have permits denied may appeal to the mayor or his designee. The Jackson Township Police are tasked with enforcing these changes. Business Administrator Helene Schlegel said back in August, if residents in an area believe blockbusting is happening—it is against federal law—residents should contact the New Jersey Real Estate Commission at 609-292-7272. Municipal Clerk Ann Marie Eden said residents who believe a real estate agent is violating the National Association of Realtors code of ethics should call the Ocean County Board of Realtors at 732-244-8111.

DEP Recommends Best Practices For Wood Burning
NEW JERSEY – With colder weather on the way, the Department of Environmental Protection is reminding New Jersey residents to take steps to reduce their impact on air quality when burning wood for heat, whether in fireplaces, wood stoves or outdoor wood boilers. “As winter approaches, more homeowners turn to wood-burning fireplaces or wood stoves to heat their homes and save on heating costs,” said John Giordano, assistant commissioner for Air Quality, Energy and Sustainability. “With simple precautions and care, there’s much that can be done to minimize wood-burning emissions that impact the environment and the health of you and your neighbors.” The DEP recommends following these guidelines for burning wood at home: Allow wood to season before burning it. Seasoning entails allowing the wood to sit outdoors for at least six months. Seasoned wood is darker, has cracks in the end grain and sounds hollow when smacked against another piece of wood. Use a wood moisture meter to test the moisture content of wood. Wood burns most efficiently when its moisture content is below 20 percent. Stack wood neatly off the ground with the top covered to protect the wood from rain and snow. Start fires with newspaper and dry kindling. Keep fires burning hot. Regularly remove ashes to ensure proper airflow.
Never burn garbage, cardboard, plastics, wrapping materials, painted materials or pressure-treated wood in your stove or fireplace. Keep anything flammable– including drapes, furniture, newspapers and books– far away from any wood-burning appliance. Keep an accessible and recently inspected fire extinguisher nearby. Consider using an indoor air HEPA filter in the same room as a stove or fireplace. A study by the University of British Columbia indicates these filters can reduce indoor particle pollution by 60 percent. State regulations and some municipal ordinances prohibit the emission of visible smoke from outdoor wood boilers. Wood boilers heat a fluid that is circulated in homes and buildings for heating purposes. Under state regulations, these boilers may only emit visible smoke for three minutes every half-hour to allow for start-up. In deciding how to heat your home this winter and reduce your exposure to fine particles from wood smoke, DEP recommends upgrading to a U. S. Environmental Protection Agency-certified wood stove or fireplace insert. The newer equipment will reduce air pollution and is much more energy efficient.

Editorial The Worst Winter Road Conditions Are Other Drivers It’s that time of the year again. Rain, snow and ice will make driving a chore for the more than half-a-million residents of Ocean County. And on some days, downright dangerous. This week, we have the giant mounds of snow left by the plows, scaling higher than most vehicles. Cars creep out from behind these obstacles, trying to see if a path is clear to make their turn. Or, other dangerous conditions, such as black ice, unplowed road shoulders and more abound at every literal turn. This winter, use great caution when driving in harsh winter conditions. Arguably even more important, be wary of other drivers, who may not be using the same keen judgment as our readers. Driving in the snow is an exercise utilizing all of the skills we learn as drivers. Brake early, and avoid hitting the brakes too hard. Limit your speed, especially if falling snow impairs your visibility. If you begin to slide, pump your brakes. Holding them down will only worsen your slide. Keep your eyes on the drivers around you, especially at intersections, where other vehicles may slide past stop signs and signals and right in traffic. In fact, when the ground is covered with snow, the greatest danger is not as much the snow,
but the others driving in the snow. Overly reckless and overly cautious drivers can wreak havoc with traffic patterns. Observe what other drivers are doing at all times. While snow is sure to slow traffic to a near halt, a more pressing danger, and one frequently overlooked, is ice. Freezing temperatures can turn melted snow or cold rain into ice in a matter of minutes, covering roads in a sheet of hard-to-see, slippery danger. So-called “black ice” can be an unexpected and deadly roadway condition that’s impossible to see until it’s too late. Drivers should proceed with caution when driving in freezing temperatures, remain a safe distance from other vehicles to account for longer braking distances, and watch for bridges, where the road freezes fastest. And despite what some seem to think, SUVs are not exempt from these rules. These vehicles are just as susceptible to dangerous slips and slides on icy roadways. Take into account the rollover factor, and rest assured that SUV makes careless winter driver no safer. The rules of winter driving are simple: Use common sense; refrain from speeding and tailgating; proceed with the flow of traffic (too slow is just as dangerous as too fast); and know your vehicle.

Letters To The Editor Cruz Should Be Republican Nominee We’ve seen it in cartoons, an angel on one shoulder representing you r conscience, a demon on the other as your greedy inner self. The media portrays itself as the angel while portraying Trump as the demon. Each time the Donald lays out what A mer ica ns may be se cretly thinking, (yes this includes people of both parties though they’ll never admit it) the media and political class immediately lash out in righteous indignation in an effort to maintain political correctness at its acme. Just when they think they’ve finally got him in the trap of his ow n m a k i ng, t he nex t days’ poll numbers reveal another story. This is in no way an endorsement of the Trumpster, but an observation of the political media circus of which Tr u mp is the ring master directing the g reatest show on ear th from the center ring. He has masterfully done this, spending but a pittance of his billions, while others are becoming tapped out and losing donors on failed campaigns. As he plays them all like a fiddle the show goes on. In the meantime America, like ancient Rome, burns in the background. There is only one man a nd h is ca mpaig n t hat has survived and thrived under the radar of this on-
slaught, that of Ted Cruz. If the Republican Party ever hopes to survive this Trumping they had better start putting their apples in Ted’s basket, and soon. James M. Spickard Tuckerton
Don’t Trap Beavers In regards to the recent Toms River Times articles on a beaver problem, I felt a need to respond. I was a 27-year resident of Bay ville and Bar negat. We recently moved to New Hampshire. If I was still in NJ, I would volunteer to assist in a solution that would allow the beavers and humans to co-exist peacefully. Though not, I do have some experience and expertise that I would like to share. Our condo here in NH b a c k s u p t o a b e ave r pond. In 2009 the beavers dammed the culverts that separated the upper and lower pond. Fortunately, the residents recognized the benef its of beavers and we researched how we could solve the problem in a peaceful way. To make a long story short, we made contact online with Mike Callahan of BeaverSolutions.com and the Facebook Beaver Management Forum he established. Mike and the folks on the for um shared their knowledge freely and helped us save thousands of dollars and more than a few beavers. After research was done, with Mike’s advice and

guidance, I was able to construct a culvert protection cage (beaver deceiver) for well under $300, and with about 15 minutes of help from our builder’s backhoe, we are able to install it at no additional cost. It worked flawlessly since then. Total maintenance has been less than a few hours a year and has cost nothing. However, as the article mentioned the beaver deceiver is just one solution that may or may not work. Each site is different and each situation is different. The desig n of the protection depends on many factors including longterm objectives and topographical considerations. I would also be happy to chat with interested parties in Toms River about possible steps to take. I should also note that trapping is seldom as efficient or cost effective as co-existence. In the vast majority of cases, trapping is a short-term solution. It has been done for hundreds of years, but today there are much better solutions. The fact is that beavers are very territorial and they self limit their population. My latest blog entry is an open letter to a NH writer who ran into problems not unrelated to what you are experiencing. In par t it explains that when their kits become about 2 years old, they are sent packing. They will travel up to 50 miles in search of another pond, often falling prey to predators along. So if you trap beavers on your pond they will return within a year or two. If co-existence is possible, it is always more economical, more effective and beneficial remedy. If I was still in the area, I would be glad to visit the site and offer more specific advice. Even though I am not nearby, I would be
happy to talk to interested parties about crafting a solution. Art Wolinsky Former Ocean County Resident
U.S.-Israel Relations Fine Manchester Councilman Frattini’s letter to the Times, December 19, expressing his concern over U.S.-Israel relations is much appreciated. To allay his fears, the terrorist attacks to Israel are not a question of border security, but are conducted from within by legal Palestinian residents. Huge amounts of financial and defensive aid reach Israel from the U.S. each year, including the Iron Dome missile defense system which def lected the Hamas rocket attacks and stands ready to intercept others. Israel reciprocates with development and testing of military equipment and tactics. As to intelligence, there is full cooperation, understandably quietly, between U.S. and Israeli agencies covering the entire Middle East. The U.S. stands alone in support of Israel against U.N. nations condemning Israel’s defensive warfare against Hamas’ assaults. Does this sound like we are deprecating or ignoring Israel? We keep Israel safe from attacks from without, while Israel contributes to our safety from terrorism and to our military preparedness. Although Israel did not participate in the Iran nuclear talks, the nuclear threat was imminent before the agreement, and many in the Israeli military and intelligence services believe the talks were useful in at least delaying it.

- By Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari
Freeholders Urge Winter Weather Caution
OCEA N COU N T Y – Cold weather can be especially tough on senior citizens, and with more than 160,000 older adults c a l l i ng O c e a n C ou nt y home, it’s important that this population is prepared to weather the winter. “While snowy weather and plunging temperatures have an effect on everyone, the elderly are often more susceptible to the dangers of winter,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as chairman of Senior Services. According to the National Institutes for Health, more than 1.6 million older Americans go to the emergency room each year for fall-related injuries. One of the major causes of a fall is ice and black ice, which can occur without warning. “With anticipated low
temperatures, we need to be aware of these potentially hazardous conditions,” Vicari said. To lessen the chances of a fall, be cautious of foot wear and make arrangements to have even a simple handrail installed to provide the necessary support to help maintain balance and keep you from falling. To prevent hypothermia, keep your home’s thermostat set at 68 degrees or above, dress in layers of loose-fitting clothing and keep your head covered when you are outdoors. A great deal of heat is lost when your head is exposed. As we age, our skin becomes thinner and drier, thus more prone to tears. Certain medications can even affect the lining of your nose, creating an increased risk for nose bleeds. Keep the dangers
of dryness low by using a humidifier to keep the air moist, drink plenty of water and eat foods high in water content like soups and vegetables, and moisturize your skin daily with creams or lotions. “We cannot stop the winter weather from coming,” Vicari said. “But we can be prepared for it.” Vicari urged residents to check in on their elderly neighbors, family members and friends. “One quick call can save a life,” Vicari said. Vicari said seniors participating in the cou nty’s nutrition program are checked on daily when their meal is delivered. He added that even during inclement weather, additional meals may be delivered before an impending storm so the senior will have food in the house should drivers be unable to get

to them. “ T he O c e a n C ou nt y Board of Chosen Freeholders with Community Services Inc., our nutrition program provider, work diligently in making sure seniors are taken care of during all kinds of weather,” Vicari said. “Knowing they have a meal in the house they can warm up and eat is one less worry for our seniors and their caregivers during winter weather.” Vica r i u rged sen iors to contact the Office of Senior Services for information on the 2015/2016 Energy Utility Discount Program. For example, Universal Service Fund is a federally funded program to assist low-income households with their heating bills. Eligibilit y is based on household size and monthly income. Applications
will be automatically sent to those who received a heating benefit last year. If you are not a Home Energy Assistance/Universal Ser vice Fu nd recipient and would like to apply, call the Office of Senior Services at 732-929-2091 or 800-668-4899. If you are al ready a recipient and have any questions, contact O.C.E.A.N., Inc. at 732-244-9041. “There is an assortment of programs and services available that can help our seniors during harsh winter weather,” Vicari said. “By calling the Office of Senior Services, you can learn about what is available and be more comfor table during the winter months.” Vicari also cautioned pet owners to take proper precautions so their pet is not affected by cold temperatures.
Freeholder Joseph Vicari “If it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet, so keep your animals inside,” Vicari said. “Don’t leave pets outside or in cars, which can act like refrigerators in cold weather.” Exposu re to winter’s dry, cold air and chilly rain, sleet and snow can cause chapped paws and itchy, f laking skin, but these aren’t the only discomforts pets can suffer. Winter walks can become downright dangerous if chemicals from ice-melting agents are licked off of bare paws. “ W h e n t h e we a t h e r changes and temperatures plummet, we need to make sure everyone is properly cared for,” Vicari said.

– Photo courtesy of Six Flags Great Adventure “The Joker” is the anticipated new roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure. JACKSON – Chaos reigns supreme at Six Flags Great Adventure in 2016 as one of the world’s most iconic DC Comics super villains commandeers the park’s 14th and most unique scream machine in its history, “The Joker.” Earlier this fall, the world’s largest theme park announced “Total Mayhem,” which quickly became one of the world’s most anticipated new coasters of 2016. But behind the scenes, criminal mastermind, “The Joker” was secretly plotting to take over the new 4D, free-fly coaster and name it as his own. “The Joker is undeniably one of the greatest DC Comics super villains ever created. Only someone with his warped sense of humor could provide this level of insanity – or spinsanity – with a new, vertical coaster that delivers gravity-defying somersaults with utter unpredictability. It is the perfect addition to our dynamic line-up of award-winning roller coasters because this ride delivers total mayhem with its next-generation, cutting-edge thrills,” said Six Flags Great Adventure President John Fitzgerald. After being lifted straight up a 12-story, 90-degree hill, this 4-D, free-fly coaster will wreak havoc as riders flip head-over-heels at
least six times along the weightless journey. Thrill seekers will experience exhilarating leaps and dives along a horizontal plane, along with unexpected drops as they tumble from one level to the next. The wing seats amp up the pandemonium since riders will experience all of this chaos with no track above or below – just the sky, ground and adjacent Great Lake churning around them. The unique design of “The Joker” features: Massive, imposing, floating and twisting I-box track frame in a unique two-tone design. One-of-a-kind onboard magnetic technology featuring smooth head-over-heels free-fly flips providing guests the feeling of weightlessness as they soar outside the confines of a traditional track 4-D wing vehicles that seat up to eight per vehicle with a total of five vehicles. Face-off seats that allow riders to face each other as they tumble head over heels. A 120-foot-tall, 90-degree hill that is ascended by an elevator-style, chain link lift. Two beyond 90-degree “raven” drops giving the sensation of free-falling. For more information about the 2016 season at Six Flags Great Adventure, visit sixflags.com/greatadventure.

Jackson Police Department Year in Review
JACKSON – During 2015, the Jackson Police Department answered thousands of calls for service. Calls for service can range from minor problems, such as incident reports, neighbor disputes, suspicious or disorderly persons and motor vehicle related incidents, to emergency calls, motor vehicle crashes, first aid calls, and reports of crimes in progress. The following indicates just some of the activity that officers of the Jackson Police Department responded to during 2015. Other information is noted in the patrol blotter or in specific news releases. There were 11,470 motor vehicle stops; 1,775 motor vehicle crashes; 638 disabled vehicles; 1,770 EMS calls and 2,286 alarm responses. There were 1,147 disputes/disorderly persons; 1,120 crisis intervention/welfare checks; 298 animal complaints; 279 domestic violence; 1,704 suspicious persons/vehicles calls; 288 harassment calls. Also: 170 criminal mischief reports; 70 motor vehicle burglaries; 97 residential/commercial burglaries; 13,395 security checks; 491 directed enforcement details; and 120 DWI arrests. In total, the township police made 1,090 arrests. The New Jersey Attorney General Guidelines require a public release of the types of complaints made against officers. In regards to the thousands of contacts the officers had with the public during the year, the department received and/or initiated 45 internal affairs investigations involving complaints made against officers. The complaints ranged from allegations of excessive force (two), improper arrest (two), differential treatment (two) and demeanor complaints (six). The balance were allegations of other departmental rule violations and required,
random drug testing, 15 of the complaints were sustained and resulted in administrative discipline. In 2015, the department saw the retirements of Captain John Siedler, Captain Andrew Cheney and Lieutenant Michael Cunningham. There was also the promotions of Richard Bosley, Fred Meabe and Michael Friedman to sergeant, John Convery and John Giovanetti to lieutenant and Steven Laskiewicz to captain, along with several new hires as the department started to build again to serve the growing township. The Jackson Police Department is currently comprised of 85 full-time, sworn police officers. This includes one officer on assignment with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, two officers currently in the field training program, two officers currently attending the Ocean County Police Academy and two officers currently attending the Mercer County Police Academy. The department also has four Class 2 police officers, 13 full and part time telecommunicators and nine clerks/clerical staff. The officers patrol the 100 square-mile township which has approximately 60,000 residents, numerous high volume county roads which have seen an increase in commuter traffic and attractions such as Six Flags Great Adventure and the Jackson Premium Outlets. The department is also looking to plan for future growth with the construction of the Jackson 21 project that is ongoing and which will bring increased residential and commercial building to the township. The agency is also seeking to remain proactive as they respond to resident’s concerns of traffic enforcement, DWI enforcement, burglaries and the use of heroin and other narcotic use which has increased not only in the township, but the state as a whole.
Georgian Court University Announces Guaranteed Financial Aid
LAKEWOOD – High school seniors who plan to start college this fall are narrowing their choices and taking the next step to prepare for college—completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, otherwise known as the FAFSA. The process determines how much a family might be expected to contribute toward their student’s college costs. To help families budget, Justin G. Roy, Georgian Court University dean of admissions, has announced that all new students who begin their studies at GCU in the Fall 2016 semester will have their institutional financial aid award guaranteed for at least their first two years. The guaranteed award is contingent on a student meeting the criteria for institutional awards set forth in the academic catalog as well as meeting all applicable federal and state deadlines. “Affordability is on the forefront of every student’s mind. This announcement is another example of GCU’s commitment to making its educational program available to all qualified students,” says Dean Roy. “Our primary motive is to help students navigate through the financial aid process in order to afford tuition at a private university and obtain the best education possible despite economic conditions.”
Through a combination of financial aid packaging, pursuit of scholarship and grant opportunities and on-campus work-study jobs, GCU works to make its educational program available to all qualified students, regardless of financial need. Last year, 99 percent of all first-year Georgian Court University students received some form of financial aid, including more than $12 million in GCU scholarships and grants and other funding from government and private sources. A college education is an important investment in the future. When considering the cost of a college education, you should also consider the value of that education. Georgian Court, which is 21st on Washington Monthly’s “Best Bang for the Buck” list of colleges and ranked 25th among Money Magazine’s “Top 50 Colleges That Add the Most Value,” is one of the most affordable private universities in New Jersey. Dean Roy adds that a campus visit is key for any college search. “Touring the campus, meeting the faculty, and asking questions of current students is the best way to narrow your college search,” he said.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Learning To Fly Dear Joel, I am terrified of flying. I know that this is hurting my marriage, family life and social life. I have a sister and other family that live on the West Coast and I barely get to see them. I struggle with this and feel guilty that I am holding everyone back from more pleasure that we can otherwise be enjoying. Answer: Let me start by saying that the longer I write this column, the more I wish to tell people that they are not alone in their struggles. Logical answers will not help you because no matter how much I tell you of the odds of being hurt in air travel, I don’t believe that it will help much. There are courses that you can try to overcome this fear. The problem is that most of them are in larger cities such as New York, Philadelphia, etc. If you wish to work on this closer to home, there is hypnosis, Neuro feedback and other treat-
ment methods available. Additionally, you can speak with your doctor about anxiety medications to use that are definitely helpful. I would use it weeks before a trip to experience the calming effect that may help you. As I always write in this column, feeling guilty is worthless. It is a way of not doing anything to help a situation. You are missing out on a big part of life and I sympathize with that part of your question. Lastly, if you took the time to write to me about this fear, you are interested in change. I wish you luck in your quest for a new beginning. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.
If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

Choosing the Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family and Assets By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) 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 insurance 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 uninsured 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 Standard 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 accident 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 option.” 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 your 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 & Associates 732-505-1212 for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Sound Objections Here are a few reasons why millions of Americans will do anything to avoid wearing a hearing aid: Reason No. 1: Vanity – It’s a sign of getting older and most people can’t deal with the combination of wearing glasses and other more pressing medical problems. This leads to denial in many cases. In reality, today’s hearing aids are almost invisible so vanity should not really be an issue! Reason No. 2: Denial – Hearing loss is an invisible handicap that can be partially compensated for many years. A typical person who finally gets fitted for a hearing aid has waited seven years. Obviously, a lot of yelling has occurred over those years along with typical statements such as “you’re mumbling,” “I don’t always pay attention,” and “just speak up and I will hear you.” Your family needs to be honest and direct with the hearing-impaired individual so he/she can overcome denial/objections. Reason No. 3: Money – Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover hearing aids. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the average cost for a pair of hearing aids is $2,800. Some insurance companies have a small benefit ranging from $500 to $750. Since the average hearing aid lasts five years, you are spending about $1 per day (per ear) to hear better. Reason No. 4: Unrealistic Expectations – We all want to hear “normally” again, but realistically, hearing aids can only compensate for
hearing loss just as eye glasses compensate for vision deficits. The word “aid” does not mean “normal” but it should suggest assistance in your ability to hear in most environments. Reason No. 5: Too Many Appointments – Better hearing takes time and patience since your brain has to adjust to all of the new sounds that you will be hearing again. Since a large majority of consumers are being fit with digital or programmable instruments, several fine-tuning sessions with a computer are required to maximize the benefits of the instrument. Most hearing health-care professionals offer at least a 30-day trial period to account for the necessary adjustments required to accomplish “better hearing.” Reason No. 6: You can make yourself crazy – For most, you may not like your hearing aids for the first week. You may complain about “everything being too shar p” or “my own voice sounds like a bad record.” However, after wearing your hearing aids consistently for several weeks, you will hopefully appreciate the “sweet nothings” that are important to you, like your son’s jokes, your spouse kibitzing, your grandchildren’s gestures or beautiful music. In summary, forget about vanity and cost and stick it in your ear. Please don’t wait seven years to face the music since this may be the first time (in a long time) that you will finally hear and understand those that you love!
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Dear Pharmacist
Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
5 Truly Effective Ways To Fight Cold & Flu By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I think I am a real germaphobe because I get very conscious when someone sitting next to me starts coughing, especially when they don’t cover their mouth. I’ll let the first one slide but if it happens again, I am apt to leave or hand them a Kleenex. Cover it! Is it just me or are you that way too? If you feel like you’re coming down with something, here are 5 considerations: 1. Oil of oregano is a super strong germ fighter. The essential oil of oregano is sold at health food stores and online in a little dropper bottle. Pour one or two drops in your own ‘medicinal herb tea’ (wink) and then drink it. It will not taste pleasant. You will probably curse me. But it’s going to help you. Squeeze some lemon and honey into it. The key ingredients in oregano are carvacarol and thymol, both of which inhibit the growth of hundreds of microorganisms. 2. Probiotics should be taken daily for proper immunity, but when you feel symptoms coming on, then of course I feel like you should at least double up on the dose. I am not afraid of taking probiotics throughout the day; I’m more afraid of feeling miserable and sick. High-quality probiotics will improve the quality and count of your healthy disease-fighting bacteria. Some strains will even induce IL-10-producing regulatory T cells, which is a scientific way of saying they reduce inflammation, and can help immune function as well as inflammatory disorders of the gut like painful Crohn’s. 3. FluNada, it’s a natural over-the-counter spray that I squirt into my nose. You
c a n (a n d should) spray this product into your nose because this is the point of entry for germs. FluNada contains a homeopathic blend of wintergreen, eucalyptus and elderberry essential oils. FluNada is sold at Walgreens if you need it right now, and if you’re feeling like you’re coming down with something, NOW is the time. This product was tested by two independent labs and found to be 99.9 percent effective against multiple cold and flu strains, including swine, bird and seasonal flu. FluNada provides non-drowsy relief from multiple symptoms, including runny or blocked nose, sore throat, cough and body aches and pains. 4. If you keep rummaging around in my purse, you will find teabags of flavored green tea. It is common for me to ask the waitress at a restaurant for a little cup of hot water “because I have my own medicinal herbs.” Sam affectionately scolded me once saying, “Do you realize we live in Colorado? She thinks your little ‘medicinal herbs’ are a different kind of GREEN tea!” The EGCG in green tea was shown in numerous studies including a 2005 “Antiviral Research” article to have antiviral effects by unraveling the viral membrane. 5. Vitamin D is a strong immune modulator and reduces susceptibility to all sorts of infections. And also, D controls the expression of more than 900 genes involved in hundreds of physiological functions.

Library Puppets To Perform “Crankenstein” Stories At Multiple Branches
OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Library Puppet Show Players will combine two Crankenstein books into one hilarious children’s show to be performed at multiple library branches throughout February. Each morning he wakes up an ordinary boy, but when he’s faced with a rainy day or an early bedtime, he transforms into a mumbling, grumbling Crankenstein. To top it off, he receives the most lovey-dovey, yuckiest Valentine ever. Crankenstein may just find a way to turn his sour day sweet because even the crankiest monsters have a heart. Children and their parents can enjoy the show at the following locations: Plumsted, 119 Evergreen Rd., New Egypt, 609-7587888, 3:45 p.m. February 8; Pt. Pleasant Borough, 834 Beaver Dam Rd., 732-2951555, 11 a.m. February 9; Little Egg Harbor, 290 Mathistown Rd., 609-294-1197, 10:30 a.m. February 17; Waretown, 112 Main St., 609-693-5133, 3 p.m. February 18; and Pt. Pleasant Beach, 710 McLean Ave., 732-8924575, 10:30 a.m. February 22. The Crankenstein story was developed from two books by Samantha Berger, “Crankenstein” and “A Crankenstein Valentine.” Both were illustrated by Dan Santat. Berger is a former editor at Scholastic Books and vice president of Animation Extra Content at Nickelodeon. She has written more than 70 books. Santat is a New York Times bestselling illustrator and a winner of the Silver Medal from the Society of Illustrators. The programs are free and open to the public, but registration is required.

Nominate Your Coastline As A Best Restored Beach
NEW JERSEY – For the last 40 years, beach restoration has been the preferred method of shore protection in coastal communities. Beach restoration is the process of placing beach-quality sand on dwindling beaches to reverse or offset the effects of erosion. The four main reasons for restoration are: storm protection, mitigating the effects of sea level rise, habitat restoration and recreation. Coastal resiliency is a big buzzword these days. However, the coastal engineering community has been promoting coastal resiliency long before it was popularized
and given a name. Engineered beaches form the backbone of a resilient shoreline that is able to respond naturally to the impacts of storms such as Superstorm Sandy. In its North American Coastal Comprehensive Study, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers found that high dunes and wide beaches significantly increased coastal resiliency and reduced damage in areas that had maintained their beaches and dunes. The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) honors the Best Restored Beaches in America annually to build awareness of the value of America’s
restored beaches. “In the post-Sandy era, it is widely accepted that high dunes and wide beaches are one of the best defenses to minimize the impacts of erosion and flooding from severe storms,” said ASBPA President Tony Pratt. “Many seasonal or new residents of beach communities do not realize that their beach was built and has been maintained over the years. It is important that everyone realize the time and effort that is required to maintain this critical resource.” Continued public support for restoration is crucial and often difficult to maintain when
restoration projects become successful and routine. ASBPA encourages nominations from established, as well as new, projects for the 2016 Best Restored Beaches Award. The award has been given annually since 2002; a list of previous winners is online at asbpa.org To meet submission deadlines, all nominations must be sent electronically to Bestrestoredbeach@asbpa.org by April 10. The nomination text must be in MS Word, WordPerfect or PDF, and photos must be saved in JPEG or TIF formats. A nomination checklist is available at www. asbpa.org.

DEP Closes Diamondback Terrapin Season Early
NEW JERSEY – Due to continued concerns about harvest pressures on northern diamondback terrapins in coastal areas of New Jersey, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin has signed an Administrative Order immediately closing the remainder of the commercial harvest season for this turtle species.
The diamondback terrapin is the only species of turtle that lives in the brackish waters of New Jersey’s coastal marshes and estuaries. The commercial harvest closure is effective immediately and will remain in effect through the end of the harvest season on March 31. “The diamondback terrapin has long been special to many people who live in
and visit our coastal communities,” said Commissioner Martin. “Many people have dedicated countless hours to protecting its habitats and raising awareness about this unique species. We need to ensure the terrapin remains part of our coastal ecosystem.” This is the second Administrative Order Commissioner Martin has issued closing

the commercial harvest of this species. The Commissioner issued a similar order in March 2015, when the New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council (NJMFC) and the Endangered and Nongame Species Advisory Committee advised that excessive harvesting was taking place in New Jersey to provide terrapins for out-of-state aquaculture operations and for overseas markets. Division of Fish and Wildlife conservation officers will be on the lookout for anyone illegally harvesting terrapins. In addition to civil penalties, anyone charged with illegally harvesting a diamondback terrapin will be assessed a $200 replacement fee for each terrapin in his or her possession. The DEP’s Division of Fish and Wildlife has also been working with the NJMFC, as well as neighboring states, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser vice and other terrapin experts to develop management strategies to enhance protection of diamondback terrapins in order to sustain the species in New Jersey. “As evidenced by our recommendation to DEP, the New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council fully supports the extended closure of the diamondback terrapin harvest as we continue to establish future regulations,” said Council Acting Chairman Dick Herb. In the past, commercial harvesting of terrapins in New Jersey was reported on a small-scale basis. But increased demand, particularly in Asian food markets, has put excessive pressure on the species. In a 2014 incident, more than 3,500 terrapins were harvested from two locations in southern New Jersey to provide terrapins for an out-of-state aquaculture facility that raises them for overseas markets. More than 14,000 offspring of the wild adult terrapins were then exported to Asia. Once abundant, terrapins decreased dramatically by the 1930s, due primarily to harvesting for food. Numbers started increasing again by the 1960s, but in recent decades the terrapin has been at risk again due to habitat loss, drowning in crab traps and vehicle strikes. Although the diamondback terrapin has not been listed as threatened or endangered in New Jersey, its status is listed as decreasing. As part of the state’s recovery effort, the DEP will be conducting investigations of populations, ecological data and habitat needs as it develops management strategies. Diamondback terrapins, so named for the diamond-shaped patterns on its shell, are more closely related to freshwater turtles than marine turtles and spend their entire life cycle in coastal marshes. They are an important part of the ecosystem, feeding on snails that can overgraze marsh grasses, leaving them barren mudf lats.

Department Of Agriculture Wants Meal Sponsors For Summer Nutrition Program
NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher encouraged organizations to help provide nutritious meals to children in low-income areas during the summer months through the Depar tment’s Summer Food Ser vice program. Begun in 1976 as an outgrowth of the National School Lunch program, the Summer Food Service program is designed to reach those who are age 18 or younger in economically disadvantaged areas. It also is open to people over 18 who are mentally or physically handicapped and who participate in public or nonprofit private programs established for the disabled. The federally-funded program reimburses participating organizations for meals served to children who live in areas in
which at least 50 percent of the children qualify for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch program. Applicants might include public or private nonprofit school food authorities, units of local, municipal, county or state governments, public or private nonprofit organizations, residential summer camps or national youth sports programs. Organizations approved to sponsor the Summer Food Service program are responsible for managing the feeding sites that provide the meals to youngsters. Most participating organizations may be reimbursed for up to two meals a day – lunch and either breakfast or a snack. Those serving primarily migrant children may be reimbursed for up to three meals a day. Residential camps may serve up to three
meals a day, but they are reimbursed only for meals served to children eligible for free or reduced price meals under the National School Lunch program. More than 430,512 children in New Jersey receive free or reduced price meals in their schools under the National School Lunch program. In 2015, only 19 percent of the children in the state participating in the National School Lunch program had access to nutritious meals in the summer. One hundred eight organizations in 2015 participated in the Summer Food Service program to provide nutritious meals to children during the summer. In addition to the summer food program, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, Division of Food and Nutrition, administers a number of programs devoted
to improving the quality and provision of food to New Jersey residents, in particular those most in need, including school nutrition programs and the Child and Adult Care Food program. The division also administers The Emergency Food Assistance program (TEFAP), which distributes federally-donated commodities to six emergency feeding organizations statewide to distribute federally-donated foods to hundreds of soup kitchens, food pantries and public feeding sites serving the state’s neediest citizens. For more information on the Summer Food Service program or to obtain an application, call 609-292- 4498. The deadline for submission of completed applications is June 15.
Substance Abuse Program Gives Back To The Community NEW JERSEY – Young adults from Monmouth and Ocean County are being the change they wish to see in this world. After years of a downhill battle with substance abuse, things are finally looking up and they are giving back to the community

NJ State Museum Displays Civil War Flags
NEW JERSEY – The actual battle f lags carried by New Jersey troops in the Civil War over 150 years ago are on display. New Jersey contributed over 80,000 men to the fight and the New Jersey State Museum has over 100 f lags carried by New Jersey’s troops in the war in its collection. Five of these historic f lags were unveiled in specially designed exhibit cases at the New Jersey State Museum Gallery, located at 225 West State Street in Trenton. The f lags unveiled for display are some of the most distinctive in the collection, and they have not been on display for a number of years. Included will be the national colors of the 3rd and 15th Infantry regiments, the state colors of the 33rd Infantry regiment, a guidon from the 3rd cavalry and a rare General McAllister’s headquarters Second New Jersey Brigade f lag. One of these f lags, the 3rd NJ cavalry, bears the distinctive butterf ly design. Over 20 members of the 15th New J e r s e y’s c ol o r g u a r d f e l l d e a d o r wounded during the bloody battles of 1864 while defending this f lag to be displayed. The regimental f lag of the 33rd Infantr y regiment is especially interesting because it was captured by Confederates at the battle of Atlanta in July 1864 and then was recaptured by New Jersey Union troops in North Carolina in May 1865. The gallery also features a rotating exhibition including Civil War f irearms, equipment, photographs and military documents. The documents are from the collection of the New Jersey State Archives, and the military items are on loan from private collectors. The exhibit, focusing on the 15th and 33rd Infantry regiments and the 1st Cavalry, was prepared by Nicholas Ciotola, curator of Cultural History at the New Jersey State Museum, with the aid of members of the New Jersey Civil War Heritage Association.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
k’s
Wolfgang Puc
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid aggravations by remaining active. In the week to come you could end up at odds with a partner over shared finances or resources. Burn off worries and cares by exercising or finding other suitable distractions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Fool’s names and fool’s faces are often seen in public places. In the upcoming week you may hide behind the curtains when the stage lights are turned on to guarantee the attention is placed on someone else. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Concentrate on completing common objectives. You may have self-interest in mind when tackling attaining a goal or a project this week. Do what is best for everyone concerned even if it means a minor sacrifice. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t heed your needs. A plethora of fantasies could magnify your dissatisfaction with the status quo. This isn’t the week to make major investments, ask someone to share your life or to interview for a new job. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be too gullible for your own good as this week unfolds. You could easily become embroiled in debates if you ignore the fine print or make an error of judgment. A new romantic attraction could cause trouble. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Polish and brighten your sterling reputation as this week unfolds. Take steps to insure you are known as someone who follows through on promises and gets the job done. Sidestep major decisions or commitments.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Chance meetings with those who are beacons of sincerity may offer an opportunity to receive sound advice. Wait until next week to make your most important decisions about major purchases or financial affairs. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You would offer an aperitif to a thief. Your generous nature may be blind to the faults of others in the week to come. You could be kind hearted even when it isn’t appropriate. If fooled you may become angry. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Hamsters on a treadmill only give the appearance of progress. The more you try to gain ground the easier you lose it. You might spin your wheels if you attempt to start a new enterprise or project this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be put off by minor differences in opinions or backgrounds. Be especially cautious about how you spend your pennies in the week ahead. You could be attracted to deceptive get rich schemes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put the can opener away before you open that can of worms. In the week ahead you may voice imaginary fears or succumb to wishful thinking. You may find yourself challenged to keep your temper in hand. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t overestimate your abilities. The stars may bring mixed blessings in the week ahead. You should focus on ways to fulfill existing commitments. Be crystal clear about your expectations and promises. (c) 2015 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

Homemade Pesto, Shrimp Pasta A Winning Combination By Wolfgang Puck
I’m always surprised by how often people talk about so-called “convenience” foods meals that have been prepared in advance and are sold in supermarkets either ready to serve or to reheat and eat. As a result, time and again home cooks are putting food that is past its prime on their dining tables. It’s often pumped up with salt, sugar and all sorts of additives that aren’t good for anyone. To me, convenience has a different meaning. The trick is to start with good, fresh ingredients. Cook them simply, in ways that highlight their natural flavor, color, texture and goodness, and combine them with seasonings that pay the perfect complement to those qualities. Let me show you what I mean by sharing one - well, actually, two - recipes from WolfgangPuckCookingSchool.com. One is linguine with shrimp and pesto; the other is a companion recipe for my pesto sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight supper and yet special enough for a casual dinner party, the pasta recipe features plump shrimp and easy-to-find dried linguine noodles, all seasoned with the lively flavors of fresh basil, garlic and extra-virgin olive oil. Those seasonings themselves are the principal ingredients of the pesto, a classic pasta sauce from Genoa, Italy. The preparation gets its name from a Latin word that means “to pound or crush,” a descriptive reference to the mortar and pestle that are traditionally used to reduce the ingredients to a thick, luscious paste. But, as you’ll learn from the recipe here and from the high-definition video lesson in my school, you can make the sauce far more quickly and easily with a food processor. Also, note that the version of pesto I offer doesn’t have the Parmesan cheese often included in a pesto recipe. That’s because the sauce doesn’t keep as well if you blend cheese in it right away, as well as the fact that I find the Parmesan can mask rather than highlight the fresh, sweet flavor of the shrimp. Instead of the usual cheese you might expect to be sprinkled over each serving, I use a garnish of oil-toasted breadcrumbs for a deliciously crunchy contrast. You’ll also be surprised to learn that the entire main course takes a matter of minutes to prepare once the water is boiling for the pasta. One taste and you’ll understand that real ingredients you cook for yourself can become the ultimate expression of convenience. QUICK AND EASY PESTO SAUCE Makes about 2 cups (500 mL)

10 garlic cloves, peeled 3/4 cup (185 mL) pine nuts, toasted in a low oven or a dry saucepan over low heat 4 cups (1 L) packed fresh basil leaves only 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt In a mini chopper, a blender or a food
processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine the garlic, pine nuts, basil and olive oil. Blend or process, until smoothly pureed, stopping several times as needed to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Season to taste with salt. To store, pour into airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to several days; or freeze for up to several months, thawing in the refrigerator before use. LINGUINE WITH SHRIMP AND PESTO Serves 4 3 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 cup (185 mL) coarse dry breadcrumbs such as panko Kosher salt 12 ounces (375 g) linguine About 2 dozen large shrimp, peeled and deveined Freshly ground black pepper or white pepper 2 or 3 pinches crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine 1/3 cup (85 mL) pesto sauce (see recipe), or store-bought pesto sauce 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus small sprig for garnish Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs. Stir to coat evenly with the oil. Cook until the crumbs are evenly browned and crisp, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Remove and reserve 1 cup pasta cooking liquid from the pot. Drain the pasta through a colander. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup (60 mL) oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet. Toss until the shrimp begin to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the chili flakes, then the wine. Cook, stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan, until the wine evaporates and the shrimp are just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add the pesto and butter, and toss to coat the shrimp with the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasonings, then stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking liquid. Add the drained pasta and chopped parsley to the skillet. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Toss to coat the pasta and heat the dish through, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more pasta cooking liquid by the tablespoon if the sauce seems dry. Twist about a fourth of the linguine onto a two-pronged carving fork and transfer to a serving plate, easing off the pasta to form a mound. Repeat for three more servings. Distribute the shrimp evenly among the plates. Sprinkle generously with the breadcrumbs. Garnish with parsley sprigs.
