Hello fellow readers,This is getting silly;
another 15 inches ofsnow followed by an icy
wintery mix!John from Blairstownstopped while I waswalking Ellie during thelatest one-two punchand said, You get an Afor effort!Thanks, John, I like to
think of myself as anachiever but the truth is,Ellie encourages me toget out there.My bright yellow coat,
black umbrella andmatching Muck Bootsmay not be vogue, buthopefully visible to
passersby.
You look like theMorton Salt Girl,added John.Speaking of salt;
theres a shortage ofroad salt, which meansweve plowed throughour anticipated need.Regular road salt is onlyeffective from freezingto about 15 degrees.Below that, magnesiumchloride or calciumchloride is added. Itsthe chloride ions thatcause much of the envi-ronmental damage,dehydrating plants,
killing small aquatic
organisms and reducingwater circulation inlakes.What will all of the
salt do to the road-side
trees? asked Bridget ofStone Church?Late winter road salt is
the most damaging toplants, according toCornell University.Beginning early March,
plants start breakingdormancy. Their roots
begin absorbing nutri-ents and water from thesoil for the soon-to-come leaves. Toxicchloride ions, whichusually leach from soilrapidly, are most likelyabsorbed at this time.
Avoid piling salt laden
snow around plants.When choosing newplants, choose those thatare salt tolerant if within30 feet of where salt will
be used (RutgersUniversity has a list).For existing plants,move the salt ladensnow from the root zoneas soon as the thaw
begins. On young treesthe root zone is aboutthe width of the drip-lineof the branches. Onolder trees it can betwice as wide.Obviously be consider-
ate where you move thesnow. When tempera-tures rise above freez-ing, hose fresh wateraround the tree or shrubsto flush out the salt.With the shortage of
road salt we better findalternatives for our iceskating rink. How aboutcat litter, sand, coffeegrounds, cinders and
prayers that MotherNature is done messingaround with Old ManWinter. Wait a minute,aren't we rated G?Garden dilemmas?

(NAPSI)While theword organictypically demonstratesthe commitment to anenvironmentally sound
growing method forfarmers, theres anincreased interest infinding ways to liveorganically beyond justfood choices. Its driven
by the growing desire tomake wise choices forthe planet. Living anorganic lifestyle notonly offers something to
people of all ages, it canbe achieved in thekitchen, garden or evenduring an outdoor activ-ity.Here are a few simple
tips to start living an
organic lifestyle:1. Take small steps-
Take the first step withyour staple shoppingingredients. Considerreplacing conventional
products one by onewith organic alterna-tives. Make foods likefruits, vegetables, milkand meat your first
priority.2. Grow an organic
gardenWhy not growyour own organic
vegetables and herbs?Plants like tomatoes,
peppers, onions, pota-toes and cucumbers areeasy to grow and can beeasily maintained on arooftop or patio garden.Plus, its a great way toteach kids where foodcomes from and how itgrows.
3. Read the labels-Look for products withthe Certified USDAOrganic seal and readlabels carefully to checkout the main ingredientsand any additives thatmay be included. Thefirst ingredients listedshould be commonnames and easy to
pronounce.4. Pack an organic
lunchboxSend yourkids off to school eachmorning with a
delicious, organic lunch.For example, SantaCruz Organic PeanutButters and FruitSpreads offer a varietyof options and flavors tokeep kids excited atlunchtime. To helpround it out, thecompanys Fruit Saucesare a tasty, organic treat,with each 4-ounce saucecup providing 100
percent of the ReferenceDaily Intake (RDI) ofvitamin C.As a pioneer organic
brand born in the Santa
Cruz Mountains, SantaCruz Organic is com-mitted to providingdelicious organic foods.Its offerings includemore than 60 productsranging from fruit juicesto peanut butter. AllSanta Cruz Organic
products are CertifiedUSDA Organic andnever contain artificialflavors. For More Infor-mation, visitsantacruzorganic.com.
(NAPSI)You canenjoy delicious, health-ful dishes in minutes:The secret is a goodimported extra virginolive oil (EVO). Itsnutritious, a trans fatfree food and loadedwith flavor.To make every meal
special: Toss cooked whole
wheat penne, spaghettior cavatelli with EVO,garlic and parsley totaste. Add steamedmixed vegetables ofyour choice for a quickand colorful pasta
primavera. Pan sear shrimp or
scallops in EVO forabout five minutes. Cutred and green peppersinto thin strips and tosswith a tablespoon of
EVO. Microwavepeppers briefly untiltender. Combineseafood with peppersand serve on top ofinstant brown rice. Make your own
signature salad dress-ing by combiningEVO, vinegar or lemon
juice with favoriteherbs like oregano,chives or ground
pepper. The flavor willpermeate the saladgreens, tomatoes,cucumbers andvegetables.Share your favorite

Bye Birdie... and... Ihave yet to see a produc-tion there I didn't like....and.... that time slot wasopen....... The stars havealigned.I settled into my seat at
the Armstrong-HipkinsCenter for the Arts'DuBois Theater. Theroom slowly filled up on
this the second night ofthe run. The lightsdimmed and the orches-tra (yes, an orchestra)started the overture.Where do these talentedteens come from?They sing, they dance,
they make you believethat it is off Broadwayand for some of theactors I am sure they
might find their waythere. Now while I
simply loved everybodyin the show, I do havemy stand out favorites.Lets start with Rosie,
Claudia Choi, thefemale lead, a future starin what ever venue shemight choose. I wouldfeel guilty if I didn'tmention the role played
by Brianna Annunziata,Mae Patterson, who wasthe mother of Al Patter-son played by TylerBrooks, everybody hasat one time or anothermet this character some-time in their life and was
made to feel guilty evenif they weren't. Now
Chris Bottone, whoplayed Birdie was offthe wall funny, I felt thatElvis came back into the
building. And of courseHugo, The nerdy
boyfriend played byTrevor Van Vliet, turnedinto a Mike Tyson forthe love of his girlfriend.My favorite scene wasRosie and the Shriners.It was directed by a Blairstudent Phoebe Dopu-los.If you had anything to
do with this show youdid right and great.

"It is with a sense ofboth great pride andsome sadness that I haveadvised the Governor ofmy decision to stepdown as Commissionerof Education. I have
been honored to servethe children of NewJersey over the pastthree years and toadvance the goal thatevery child, has theopportunity to attend a
public school that willput him or her on trackfor success in collegeand career. I am gratefulto Governor Christie forhis support and unwav-ering commitment tohelping our most vulner-able students. I have
been inspired by theGovernor's unrelentingdrive to close theachievement gap and putall of our children on a
path to success. I havebeen equally inspired byour teachers and schoolleaders who are respon-sible for the greatsuccess we haveachieved as a state. Iwill never forget thehard work they do withour children every day."Over the past three
years, we have taken anumber of significantsteps forward as a state:a new tenure law thatties the acquisition andloss of tenure witheducator effectiveness;the development of anew statewide account-ability system that gives
flexibility to our high-performing districtswhile focusing interven-tions on the lowest-
performing 15 percent ofschools in the state; real
progress in Newark,including a nation-leading teacher'scontract, and the firststeps to providing betteroptions to students inCamden; opening morethan 30 new charterschools to expandoptions for our highest-need students while
bringing true account-ability for performance
by closing 10 low-performing charters; andexecuting a comprehen-sive Common Coreimplementation plan,including the develop-ment of a new website(njcore.org), to helpteachers adapt to theshifts required in thenew standards."While these are
important steps, thework is not done. Thesenior leadership of theDOE and the entire team
are, in my view, the bestin the country. I have nodoubt that they will beable to continue thework to great successunder new leadership."As for me, I have
accepted a position asCEO of Amplify Insight.I have long believed thatthe next frontier ofeducation is endowingeducators, students and
parents alike withenhanced potential for
personalized learningand differentiatedinstruction. I am excited
by the work that is underway in this field andlook forward to being a
part of this nation-leading organization. Ihave notified the Gover-nor that I will transitionout of the Department onFebruary 28th. I remaincommitted to the workwe have begun in NewJersey, and stand readyto help the Governor andDepartment of Educa-tion in any way I can."article courtesy of

The Department ofEnvironmental Protections(DEP) Division of Fishand Wildlife recentlyreleased a rehabilitated
peregrine falcon fromTwin Lights of the
Navesink Historic Sitein Highlands, Mon-mouth County, to drawattention to the contin-ued resurgence of birdsof prey in the GardenState.The health of our
wildlife populations is agood indicator of theoverall health of the
environment, saidDivision of Fish andWildlife Director DavidChanda. This is
particularly true of birdsof prey, also known asraptors, which havemade remarkable recov-eries in New Jersey overthe past several decades.Populations of peregrinefalcons, ospreys and
bald eagles continue toclimb in New Jersey.The annual state
income tax Check-offfor Wildlife providescritical support to the
Division of Fish andWildlifes Endangeredand Nongame SpeciesProgram, which worksto promote and protectgrowing populations of
bald eagles, peregrinefalcons and ospreys.Peregrine falcons are
experiencing recordproductivity rates.Twenty-six pairs of
peregrines now occupyappropriate nestinghabitat in New Jersey.Though still small, the
population exhibitedhigh productivity last
year, with all but twopairs successfully fledg-ing at least one young.The 24 nests produced57 young for a successrate of 92 percent and a
production rate of 2.19young per active nest.Peregrines can be
found nesting on bridgetowers, water towers,and high buildings.Some peregrine falconsrelocated from NewJersey have even beenused to help rebuild
populations in WestVirginia. Peregrines
relocated from New
Jersey between 2006and 2011 have beenconfirmed inhabiting themountain areas of WestVirginia and westernMaryland.The osprey population,
meanwhile, has reacheda milestone nearly 550
pairs now nesting in thestate. This total possiblysurpasses numbers thathave nested in the state
prior to steep declines inthe 1950s and 1960s dueto habitat loss and pesti-cide contamination.The Division of Fish
and Wildlife, aided byvolunteers, documented542 osprey nests lastyear. These specialized
predators are foundpredominantly in coastalareas, with heaviest
populations foundaround Barnegat Bay,Great Bay, CumberlandCountys Maurice Rivermarshes, the Avalon-Stone Harbor area, baysaround the Wildwoods,and Raritan Bay.Bald eagle populations,
meanwhile, continue tosoar to new record highs
each year, with 148territorial pairs countedin 2013, up from 135 in2012. Of these, 119
pairs actively nested,meaning they laid eggs.
Ninety-six nestsproduced 176 young.The annual MidwinterEagle Survey in 2013counted 297 bald eagles
264 in southern NewJersey and 33 in thenorthern part of thestate.The male falcon
released recently wasfound in Montclair with
a dislocated shoulder. Itwas rehabilitated by thenonprofit Raptor Trust,a key partner in thestates work to protectand enhance populationsof birds of prey. Thefalcon is estimated to beless than a year old andwas likely migratingfrom its birth area inCanada when it wasinjured. The source ofthe injury is not known.Twin Lights, operated
by the New Jersey Divi-sion of Parks andForestry, is situated atop
a 200-foot high bluff,
affords a sweeping viewof dangerous Atlanticwaters near SandyHook. The area roundthe lighthouse providesideal habitat for falcons,which can achieve divespeeds upwards of 200MPH.Peregrines are like the
cheetah of the birdworld, and the areaaround Sandy Hook andthe Navesink Highlands
provides plenty of highspots for perching andopen bays and rivers forhunting, said Kathy
Clark, supervisingbiologist with the DEPsEndangered and Non-game Species Program.Its likely that thisfalcon will spend therest of the winter here,and may even lingerlonger.Check-off funds go to
support wildlife conser-vation programs and areused to match or lever-age funds from thefederal governmentsState Wildlife Grants
program. The sales ofConserve Wildlife
license plates also helpfund the program.In addition to the New
Jersey EndangeredWildlife Fund, taxpay-ers may choose to desig-nate contributions toother worthwhile
programs. Details areincluded in the Form1040 instructions.Contributions to any ofthese check-off fundswill reduce your refundcommensurately.Separate reports high-

March 3rd Target Date for Reestablishing Single-Lane Traffic
Patterns Through Rt. 22 Project ZoneDelays, Traffic Congestion Likely During Peak Commuting Periods; Motorists Urged to Use 1-78 as Alternate Travel Route
The Delaware RiverJoint Toll BridgeCommission announcedrecently that March 3rdhas been set as the targetdate for resumption ofsingle-lane travel
patterns along Route 22for the next major stageof the Easton-Phillipsburg Toll BridgeRehabilitation Project.The target date
announcement meansthat daily peak-periodcommuters should onceagain brace themselvesfor possible traveldelays and traffic
backups as work crewsbegin the process ofsetting up a secure workzone on the toll bridgeand along its associatedapproach facilities
along Route 22 inEaston, PA andPhillpsburg, NJ.We want to give fair
warning that thetwo-lane travel patternsthat have been in effectalong both directions ofRoute 22 sincemid-December willsoon be coming to anend, said Joseph J.Resta, theCommissions execu-tive director. Weather
permitting, Route 22motorists should beingencountering single-lane travel restrictionsas early as March 3rd.
Once the lane closurestake effect, motoristsshould allow additionaltime to reach theirdestinations, rescheduletheir trips to avoid peakcommuting periods, or
use 1-78 as an alternatetravel route whenever
possible.The initial 2014 project
stage largely willinvolve work on thewestbound portions ofRoute 22 namely alarge portion of theheavily rutted bridgetravel lanes that wereused to carry trafficduring the projects2013 stage. This meansthat both eastbound andwestbound travel onRoute 22 will berestricted to the two
downstream bridgelanes that were subjectto rehabilitationlastyear.The eastbound Route
22 single-lane travelrestriction will onceagain begin slightly
before the CemeteryCurve in Easton and end
just past the toll bridgein Phillipsburg.Meanwhile, thewestbound single-lanetravel pattern will beginroughly 1,600 feet
before theCommissions toll plazain Phillipsburg, whichwill be reduced to three
toll-collection lanesinstead of the normalfive. After the toll plaza,westbound traffic willthen be shifted over tothe toll bridgesdownstream side where
it will continuewestbound in the lefteastbound lane of Route22 until just past FourthStreet in Easton.At this point, there will
be a crossover to returnwestbound traffic to itsnormal two-lane travel
pattern up to CemeteryCurve.As construction
activities ramp upduring March, motoristsshould expect additionaltravel impacts in the
project zone.In Easton, this will
involve anuninterrupted shutdownof the exit ramp whichRoute 22 westboundmotorists to accessRoute 611 immediatelyafter the toll bridge.Additionally, the entirestretch of Route 611
beneath Route 22 willbe closed to traffic foran extended period.Detour routes will be
posted to help guidemotorists while theseclosures are in effect.On the Phillipsburg sideof the toll bridge,motorists will encounternarrowed travel lanes
and possible short-termtraffic stoppagescontrolled by flaggers atRoute 22 exit and entryramps.The long-term,
uninterrupted single-
lane Route 22 travelpatterns and associatedroadway and rampclosures are needed tocarry out a wide varietyof work elementsassociated with the2014 stages of thenearly two-year toll
bridge rehabilitationproject, which initiallygot underway in June2013.The Easton-
Phillipsburg Toll BridgeRehabilitation Projectinvolves a roughly threequarters of a mile work
zone that extends alongRoute 22 into bothEaston and Phillipsburg.At the toll bridge, the
work involves repairingand resurfacing the
bridges road deck; blastcleaning and painting itshulking steel truss;installing a bridgedrainage system; and
performing varioussteel, concrete andmasonry repair work.Construction activitiesoff the toll bridgeinclude replacement ofthe deterioratedconcrete box-beamapproach bridge that
carries Route 22 acrossRoute 611 in Easton,rehabilitation of theBank Street and ThirdStreet overpasses inEaston, full-depthreplacement of the
approach roadway inPhllipsburg, upgradingof the toll plaza inPhillipsburg andrehabilitation andimprovements to avariety of ramps andother associatedfacilities in the vicinityof the bridge.The single-lane street
restrictions for 2014 arenot expected to end untilmid-December. Further
project work is expectedto be conducted into thespring of 2015, but theseremaining construction
activities should requireonly periodic short-termoff-peak travelrestrictions.More information on
the Easton-Phillipsburg(Route 22) Toll BridgeRehabilitation Project isavailable at drjtbc.org/tollbridgerehab.The Commission also
has established atoll-free question/comment line at1-855-FIX SPAN; aTwitter handle:@22tollbridge; and a

By Tom HortonI get so tired of the
almighty dollar domi-nating our society that Isometimes forget:While the sustainableworld we environmen-talists seek is about somuch more, economicsustainability is crucial.Which brings me to
farmer Ted Wycall, ofGreenbranch OrganicFarm on Marylands
Eastern Shore. Tedsdelicious food is a
beacon of hope in alandscape of industrialfarming with its impactson bay water quality.His free-range chick-
ens, grass-fed beef,organic veggies, and
pork from hogs that rootacorns in his woods area path we greenies favorfor the planets localeconomy that is goodfor the soil, good for ourhealth.
His little farm storehums with customers
glad to pay more thansupermarket price forthe food, for the earth.Ted had planned toexpand, in this, hisseventh year of farmingthe land he inheritedfrom his grandfather.But recently, with
frustration and somebitterness, he said he isclose to moving to Mon-tana, where he went tocollege, where there arealmost no rules.Ironically, the rules are
those we environmen-talists labored to pass torestore ChesapeakeBay: requiring cleanerseptic tanks, less storm-water runoff and a haltto the buildup of phos-
phorus in farm fields.Teds plan was to
increase sales andproduction to boost hisincome to be about whata (Wicomico) countyteacher makes. It isenough to live on, butnot to retire, or pay thelatest $8,000 tractorrepair. He would havemoved his 54-foot-square market onto 60acres that link his farmto a busy road, wheremore customers wouldstop.But highway officials
said he would have tospend $50,000 for adeceleration lane for hisroadside market, nevermind that nearby cross-roads dont have any.He could avoid that by
running an access drive
off a side road; but theimpervious surface ofthat driveway, plus thatof his market building,would entail stormwater
pollution expendituresof more than $20,000,
plus weekly paperworkhe has no time for.Hed actually be
removing more imper-vious surface (old farm
buildings) than hewould create; but
because those buildingspredate stormwaterregulations, he wouldget no credit for that, theMaryland Departmentof the Environmentconfirmed.A state-of-the-art
septic tank to handlewastes would be$15,000 or more. Theycan be built for muchless, but regulationsrequire such systems becertified. This haswinnowed the field to afew outfits that provideonly top-of-the-lineunits.Teds requests to
substitute a waterless,composting toilet, usedextensively by groupslike the ChesapeakeBay Foundation and
National Park Service,were rejected by thecounty.So was his argument
that new greenhouses heneeds to expand on hiscurrent farm beexempted from storm-water rules:You are adeveloper, said a
dismissive e-mail froma county official.He also fears being
stymied from spreadingthe composted leavesfrom his woods to buildhis soils organiccontent by proposedrules limiting phospho-rus in farm soils. Hissoils test high in phos-
phorus (though not highenough to feed hisveggies), a legacy ofcommercial chickenfarming by his grandfa-ther.I dont think anyone
should have the right topollute, because thatviolates other rights likethe right to clean water,Ted said. But my land isflat and so well-drainedthat theres no standingwater, let alone runoffeven after 6 to 8-inchrains. Regulationsshould target pollutioneffectively, not crush
people like me.Im not about to
endorse making Ted aposter child for trashingthese rules. I supportevery one of them.But his shaky
economic situation, alltoo common amongsustainable farmers,should give us pause. Ifwe want what Tedoffers, it will take morethan shopping green atGreenbranch Farm.It will mean working
through unintendedconsequences of ourregulation; will mean
engaging more activelywith supporting thesystems of food produc-tion we say we want,and ending subsidies tothose we dont.Its an overdue
reassessment that goesbeyond the greening ofagriculture, to greenenergy, green transpor-tation, green housing,said journalist HeatherRogers in her provoca-tive and highly recom-mended book, GreenGone Wrong.The sustainability
solutions were embrac-ing, consuming green
products, often ignorethe more difficult tasksof reforming a funda-mentally unsustainableeconomy that dwarfsour good intentions.No matter how muchwe as consumers wantlocal, ecologicallyresponsible food, the
people who make it maywell go extinct, sheconcludes.As for Ted, he will
soon have to sell hisnew land, which ironi-cally could become aseven-unit housingdevelopment underWicomicos zoning thatis allegedly designed to
protect farming.Tom Horton covered
the Bay for 33 years forThe Baltimore Sun andis author of six booksabout the Chesapeake.
