By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell’s homeless encampment held an open house for those looking to see what Destiny’s Bridge is all about. Individuals could show up for a meet and greet and get a tour of the camp, located at 5998 Route 9 in Howell Township. What Destiny’s Bridge does, according to camp leader Minister Steve Brigham, is provide “all the basic necessities” for those who might not necessarily have access to them. Services such as housing, food, and company can be provided by the community at the encampment. Currently, the camp hosts 12 individuals. Brigham noted that, as the land they reside on is ow ned by Howell –Photo courtesy Destiny’s Bridge Township, the There was a good turnout for the open house held on June 9 at the encampment. township has imposed a cap of 15 people allowed to live on the land.

Halls Mill & Elton-Adelphia Roads To See Changes By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Residents might see some movement in the improvement projects to Halls Mill Road and Elton-Adelphia Road in Howell Township this fall. This county project has been in the works since the 1980s, according to project manager for T&M Associates, Peter Drinkwater. With the improvements, residents will see better driver and pedestrian safety within the project limits, better traffic circulation, and replacements to obsolete infrastructures that are “in a state of disrepair,” he added. Monmouth County is proposing safety improvements, including realignment and roadway widening, to approximately 1.94 miles of Halls Mill Road, Elton-Adelphia Road and Edinburgh Drive along with replacement of bridges F-29, F-30 and F-59 within the project limits. “The main focus of the project is going to be Halls Mills Road itself,” said Drinkwater. Halls Mill is currently a narrow roadway with no shoulders and lots of curves, which can create sight-distance issues. “Some of the sections do not meet the design speed of 55 miles per hour, there are some areas that are supposed to go only 25 miles per hour,” he said, noting a major concern with the speed variability. Between 2013 and 2015, there have been 94 crashes on the project part of the roadway, making the roadway double the average crash rate compared to the statewide average, said Drinkwater. Also, Hall Mills Road will be realigned with Edinburgh Drive. The goal here is to “realign the road so it creates a four-leg intersection with Edinburgh Drive.” The project roadways will be widened to support two-way traffic in each (Roads - See Page 4)

Homeless:

Continued From Page 1 tents that are 14 x 10 feet, and 7 feet tall. These are covered in a sort of plastic encasement that helps to hold in the heat, similar to that of a greenhouse, said Brigham. The camp is also outfitted with various propane heaters, called Buddy Heaters, that provide a heat source for the residents and are equipped with safety measures such as automatic shutdown when overturned. While only 15 individuals max are allowed to reside on the property, the camp welcomes people from all over to stop by for a meal or some warmth. Brigham explained that there are other homeless individuals not living with the encampment, who are sleeping in Walmart parking lots or in nearby wooded areas that are able to stop by for assistance. Approximately 20 people took advantage of the open house. Brigham used to work with a tent city in Lakewood Township that hosted 120 people. Compared to this, Destiny’s Bridge is quite small; however it has its unique perks. According to Brigham, the camp is the only government supported and approved camp in the northeast. While the township does not support the group financially, they have provided the land at Block 71, Lot 21, for the homeless to use for the past year. Back in May 2018, Howell Township officials passed a resolution that would authorize the sale of this land. It was expected to go out to bid by the end of May for $1,355,000.

However, since this time, township officials “We have been hoping to find something,” have noted that there will be an auction for said Brigham about relocation.

jerseyshoreonline.com said Brigham. While this is the current case, Brigham explained that they are unsure of what that “relocation” really entails. “Also, Destiny’s Bridge covers all the insurance cost for the encampment, and they need a 30-day notice before cancellation. We are in an awkward position until the buyer gives us the plan of relocation,” he added. As of now, the encampment is keeping on with their day to day activities, hoping to raise awareness and bring in donations to help support their lifestyle. The impending relocation is “a big mental burden” on the community, said Brigham. The open house was meant to introduce more people to the camp and what they can offer. Brigham explained that he wants to help those individuals that might “fall through the cracks” or that might not have any family to fall back on when times are hard. The encampment has proved to be a win/win situation for all involved, said Brigham. The township has no liability as Destiny’s Bridge covers their own insurance, and they are helping the homeless community, all the while “centralizing the need.” “We’re hoping to showcase that this [housing situation] could work,” elsewhere, he said. For now, Destiny’s Bridge must wait until bid day to make any officials moves towards relocation. “We can’t tell what we’re going to do,” said Brigham.

Roads:

Continued From Page 1 direction, according to Drinkwater. Halls Mill and Edinburgh will be widened to 68 feet, including 14-foot outside lanes for bikes and a 16-foot wide grass median. The Elton-Adelphia roadway will be 62 feet wide, with 14-foot outside lanes. All of the traffic signals within the project limits will be replaced, including the signal at Halls Mill and Elton-Adelphia intersection, as it is currently evaluated at a “Level F,” which is the worst ranking from Level A to F. “The roadway itself operates at a level of service E,” he said. New traffic signals will be placed at: • Edinburgh Drive and Route 9 • Halls Mill Road & Elton-Adelphia Road new intersections with Edinburgh Drive • Halls Mill Road and Three Brooks Road Each of the bridges F-29, F-30 and F-59, are defined as “functionally obsolete with low structural ratings.” All three bridges fall below the federally required ranking of 80 (or above), which necessitates repair. Drinkwater noted that all three bridges will be replaced. Other improvements, according to T&M’s presentation at the public hearing, include: • Left-turn lanes at intersections • Sidewalk connectivity at Elton-Adelphia and enhanced lighting

The Timeline Drinkwater explained that the timeline for this project began in the 1980s when Freehold Township was looking into the realignment of Halls Mills Road. This was then taken on by the county. In 2007, residents saw the fi rst public outreach for the project, which proved to be very expensive, so the county reached out for federal funding. “As part of that federal funding process, we had to follow the National Environmental Policy Act, or the NEPA, process, which included an environmental assessment,” said Drinkwater. In 2009, an environmental assessment was performed, which found no significant impact as of 2012. In 2011, the county held a public hearing which discussed the environmental assessment. By 2015, T&M Associates had begun the fi nal project design, which was sent to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, and approved in April of 2017. Drinkwater said that they are anticipating the final design submission to the New Jersey Department of Transportation by summer 2018. Construction is slated to receive federal authorization by fall 2018.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Hope For Safer Gun Laws Tragically, it is an irrefutable fact that America has a growing gun violence problem. Despite the unending string of school shootings, Congress refuses to take bold action. Rather, our elected officials choose to merely mourn the victims and rearrange the deck chairs. It surely does not take a team of scientists to determine that several root causes of this grave problem are the proliferation of guns and mental illness. It is also quite evident that Congress’s inaction is directly related to the influence of the well-financed gun lobby. Without a doubt, common sense laws w ill help keep weapons out of the hands of criminal

and other irresponsible persons. For star ters, Congress should enact a comprehensive background check law with no exceptions for gun shows or third party sales. Additionally, Congress should ban bump stocks and launch a thorough CDC study of gun violence. Fortunately, our state currently has fairly robust gun laws in place. However, there is always room for improvement. Encourage your state senator to pass the measures currently being discussed in Trenton. For a safer New Jersey, let’s strive to have the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. Luke Stango Jackson

Letters To The Editor Volunteering Creates A Rich School Environment It’s the time of year when kids are starting to think about summer, teachers can’t wait to be done, and Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) Executive Board members can taste the sweet relief associated with the last day of school. For me, the end of this school year is bittersweet. I will complete my service as PTO co-president after four long years. I’ll admit, I’ve dreamed about this day and so has my family, who bear the brunt of all the long hours, weekend planning, and non-stop fundraisers. I have one monthly board meeting left until I rotate off into parental obsolescence and join the masses who have no worldly school obligations beyond getting their kids to and from school each day. Now that my “job” is done, do I just pretend to be anonymous? Do I get to stop volunteering, showing up for events, donating money, socializing with parents, checking Facebook and the Remind system continuously to ensure I’m not missing something? This is where the rubber meets the road. We have a saying here at our PTO, “Before you complain, try volunteering.” If your school is anything like ours, there is a very small core group of parents and volunteers who show up for everything while the other 85 percent of parents send in money but don’t volunteer. Now I’m not complaining that they send in money and support our fundraisers. Trust me when I say we could not operate without their financial support. However, the number one excuse I’ve heard over the past seven years regarding why parents don’t volunteer is this: I work full-time. Really? So does the majority of our executive board and most of our volunteers, and yet we dedicate ourselves tirelessly to the children and the school. We come out in rain, snow, and heat so hot that you’re dripping the moment you walk into the

Letters To The Editor non-air-conditioned school. of the PTO and its sub-comDespite others’ lack of enthusiasm that matched mine, I kept chugging along these past few years, always secure in the knowledge that all our PTO did was for the children, and I still believe that with all my heart. Knowing that I’m helping to create a safe, happy, innovative environment for my children as they pass through elementary school is the No. 1 mission. Seven years ago, when my daughter began at school, I thought “I can use my professional business skills to help the PTO.” But as I reflect now, I realize, what I have learned in working with some amazing women and men are lifelong skills I’ll carry with me back into my professional life. I’ve earned stripes and grey hairs and more than a few battle scars in my endeavor to help the school. Volunteering is not that different from our “real lives” in the sense that we make choices, we commit ourselves to causes, and we beam with pride when it goes our way and lick our wounds when it doesn’t. So to all the parents out there who think they’re too busy, don’t want to “get involved in the politics” or are indifferent to becoming a school volunteer, I ask you this question: imagine what would be possible for your child, if you did? Now imagine what the landscape would look like if there was no PTO, no volunteers, no caring parents willing to show up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday or stay until 9 p.m. on a Sunday night to make life a little sweeter for the kids. Financially, the difference is this: you would be asked to contribute hundreds of dollars (or more) over the course of the school year toward assembly programs, operating costs, and all the parties, gifts, and food the PTO provides by running its fundraisers. As annoying as all those colored flyers may be, pulling out your checkbook is worse. Has your child ever complained they didn’t get an end of year gift, there was no yearbook this year, or that book fair was cancelled? All this and more would be impossible without the work

mittees. How much of a challenge would it be for you to volunteer twice throughout the course of a school year? Please, envision a school in which every parent does this. The ripple effect would be immediately noticeable in major and minor ways including the sense of pride the parent and child felt because of volunteering, the relationships that begin to form with teachers and staff, the familiarity parents begin to feel in working with PTO members and upon entering the school to smiling faces and hugs versus a request for ID, the pride they exhibit towards one another as part of the membership and on and on it goes. So, the next time someone from your school asks if you can volunteer, give them a different answer and commit yourself to taking a different path next year as you mentor your child about the benefits of volunteerism in society a lesson they’ll be sure to carry with them into their own adult lives. This is a call to action for parents throughout the United States: volunteering works, but you first have to show up.

MacArthur Doesn’t Advocate For Seniors

Holiday City South homeowners: I would like to specifically address the people who have made the move to Holiday City South in the past five years. I welcome you all. In my opinion this is the best overall senior community in this area and with your help and involvement, it will stay that way. If you have a complaint or comment, let your trustees know. This will make this community a better place to live. The future of Holiday City South belongs to you. I am a candidate in the trustee election on June 20. I would like to be re-elected for a second term. I would appreciate your support.

A recent letter, “MacArthur advocates for seniors” made statements that were vague and left out information that contradicts the statement. Before Obamacare, women were charged more, there were no caps on lifetime limits, seniors were faced with the “donut hole,” individuals with pre-existing conditions couldn’t get insurance or it was terribly expensive and more than twenty million people opted to enroll in Obamacare as well as other benefits from Obamacare. The MacArthur Amendment would turn back the clock and allow states to request waivers of pre-existing conditions, opting out of essential health benefits, mental health services, doctors’ services, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, prescription drug coverage and more. Even President Donald Trump described this healthcare bill with the MacArthur Amendment as “mean.” With the elimination of the individual mandate, insurance rates will increase significantly more than they would have. The irony is that everyone one of us was covered by insurance from prenatal care on, but politicians like MacArthur want to allow individuals to opt out when they feel they are healthy enough to take advantage of the system they benefited from. As far as taxes are concerned, Congressman MacArthur was the only one of the twelve Republican congressmen in New Jersey and New York to vote for the Trump tax plan. Everyone loses the personal exemption, state and local taxes are capped at $10,000, the national debt will increase hundreds of billions more each year and even Paul Ryan said he was looking to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security after the tax cut to offset the increased deficit it caused. Bracket creep is the stealth hidden problem in this tax plan. Each year a bigger tax bite will come out of taxpayers’ pockets and they won’t be the wiser. Thank you, Congressman MacArthur!

NJ CART

MONMOUTH COUNTY – A County Animal Response Team (CART) is a group of volunteers and other entities, such as government agencies and the private sector, with resources and personnel to respond to animal issues in disasters. The CART is organized under each County Office of Emergency Management and is based on the principles for the Incident Command System developed by FEMA. The CART plans, collaborates, and trains with other responder entities to provide a coordinated disaster response. Monmouth County Animal Response Team’s mission is to provide community awareness of disaster planning and preparedness for the families of companion animals as well as large animal disaster preparedness; and to assist in emergency sheltering of companion animals during disasters. We operate under the direction of the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, Office of Emergency Management, and are an all-volunteer team. The team can be mobilized to provide pet friendly emergency sheltering in conjunction with general population and access and functional needs shelters. In the event of an emergency, residents and their pets should be prepared to take shelter with family and friends outside of the affected area. Information on “pet-friendly” co-shelters will be broadcasted through all available media outlets. The contact people are Christine Seminerio; CART leader; Mike Oppegaard, OEM Coordinator; and Eugene P. Hannafey, OEM Deputy Coordinator. They can be reached at 732-431-7400.

Jon Stewart At Count Basie, Raising Funds For Basie Center By Kimberly Bosco RED BANK – Come see popular comedian Jon Stewart at the Count Basie Center for the Arts on June 17 at 8 p.m.! Stewart will be taking part in an interview and an audience Q&A session. “I’m happy to appear at the Basie for a great cause – the Count Basie,” Stewart said. “The expansion going on at the center is going to keep Monmouth County the center of ‘Jersey’s premier arts communities.” Stewart is a prominent social and comedic figure, long-time host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and a New York Times best-selling author. Having been nominated 56 times for an Emmy Award, he now has a first-look deal with HBO and is an executive producer on CBS’ Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Tickets cost between $75 and $250. Customers are limited to 4 ticket purchases per household. You can purchase tickets at theBASIE.org, 732-842-9000, or at the

Basie box office. All proceeds will benefit the Basie Center’s capital campaign project, a $26 million project that will expand the facility into a true, regional center for the arts. It will feature a Jay And Linda Grunin Arts And Education Building, a second performance venue, space for the Basie Performing Arts Academy, and upgrades to the backstage theater area. A second phase of the campaign will expand the Basie Theater’s lobby, restrooms, concessions areas, and add a new, outdoor public arts plaza. “We’re honored that Jon is lending his support to the Count Basie Center,” said Adam Philipson, President and CEO, Count Basie Center for the Arts. “Proceeds from this evening will go directly towards construction of our new center. It’s impossible to express how much this means to us. Jon’s dedication to the region, the Basie and the arts in general is invaluable.”

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Eat Bananas In The Pursuit Of Happiness By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Most bananas are peeled and eating within one minute. That’s according to The Guiness Book of World Records. While not officially amazing in my opinion, the most bananas peeled and eaten in one minute is 8 and was accomplished by a man named Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti, a competitive eater. Because bananas have a constipating effect on your digestion, this guy was probably constipated for days, lol! Bananas have a tremendous amount of medicinal applications. For one, the peel of a banana is known as a home remedy to promote wound healing from minor burns. The actual fruit could have substantial impact on several illnesses, including depression. Last year in 2017, the crop which sells about 145 million tons of bananas (worldwide) came under attack. A deadly fungus spread through plantations, and simultaneously, bacterial disease killed some plantations in Africa. Bananas are not doomed don’t worry, and that’s a good thing if you have depression or Parkinson’s disease which are due in part to low dopamine. Dopamine is a happy brain chemical, it’s your body’s natural antidepressant. Dopamine is what makes you want to garden or golf for example, to dance, laugh and do fun hobbies. Healthy dopamine levels are critical for movement and coordination. With declining levels of dopamine, or dopamine receptor insensitivity, you could see Parkinson’s like symptoms, depression, bladder dysfunction, obesity, memory loss, sometimes attention problems and unexplained fear or anxiety spells. So where do bananas fall into this discussion? In their small way, they contribute a

chemical that helps you make dopamine! They are naturally high in an amino acid called tyrosine which is part of the dopamine chemical structure. Without tyrosine, you can’t make dopamine or thyroid hormone for that matter! Dopamine and thyroid hormone are two primary “happy” brain chemicals. So if you’re in the pursuit of happiness, go bananas! In some strange banana news, a British man was driving in Taiwan and he threw his banana peel out the car window. A Taiwanese man, who saw this act of littering, followed him and confronted him at a red light. The man said, “Littering is unethical and uncivilized behavior.” While I do agree, I don’t think I would have chased someone down over a flying banana peel. Bananas could possibly help with diabetes due to the pectin and resistant starch. Leg cramps could be soothed by the amount of potassium and magnesium in bananas. And some research suggests anti-cancer effects. I’ve written an extensive article on the health benefits of bananas and if you’d like to read that version, sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com. In the meantime, here are 7 ideas to help you go bananas! 1. Just peel and eat 2. Add a banana to your smoothie 3. Make banana chocolate chip bread or muffins 4. Make banana chips with a dehydrator 5. Dip bananas into melted chocolate then freeze the pop 6. Make banana tea by boiling it in water, I have a recipe at my site. 7. For breakfast make banana nut collagen pancakes

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Identifying Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael Deem of R.C. Shea and Associates Nursing Home Abuse can take many forms. It can be intentional, visible, obvious or it can be more subtle-abuse through neglect and general lack of care on the part of nursing home staff. Abuse can be physical, emotional, financial, or even sexual. Each of these takes a heavy toll on any person, but nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect can be especially hard on the elderly -- some of the most vulnerable members of our society. Whatever form nursing home abuse takes, it is urgent that you and your loved one open a dialogue about this extraordinarily sensitive topic. Communication is necessary to end the abuse and let the healing begin. The first step in opening a dialogue is identifying suspected abuse. There are many signs of nursing home abuse that you can look for. The first sign you may notice is a change in behavior. The emotional effects that often accompany abuse can manifest as sluggishness or depression, a lack of enthusiasm for things your loved one once enjoyed, or even a loss of interest in visits. The change in attitude can be significant and sudden, or it may be subtle and prolonged. The most important thing is to be observant and notice if the change is taking place on any level. Of course, it is also possible that signs of abuse will be far more apparent. Physical signs of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect can take the form of bruises, sores, cuts, scars, or any similar injuries. These may be from simple accidents, but if there is anything suspicious about the injury,

the problem should be addressed immediately. Suspicious signs might Michael J. Deem include a reluctance to talk about how the injury occurred or claiming not to remember the cause. Even more obvious signs are bedsores which are a common signs of nursing home neglect. They are painful and, if infected, can be potentially lethal. Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked, and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse. When abuse or neglect are identified or suspected it is important to notify the authorities and contact a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer to discuss your legal rights. Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of the local authorities and your attorney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways. If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect call the trial attorney’s at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

Phoenix Productions Presents In the Heights

By Kimberly Bosco RED BANK – Phoenix Productions, a non-profit community theatre organization, will be presenting the Broadway musical, In the Heights, from June 22 to 24 at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank. In the Heights is a Latin-infused musical with music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the popular Broadway musical, Hamilton. It tells the story of Usnavi, a first-generation bodega owner who dreams of leaving the barrio to discover his Dominican roots, and Nina, Usnavi’s childhood friend. Nina has returned to Washington Heights from her freshman year at Stanford University after losing her academic scholarship. All of the residents of Washington Heights are on brink of change, all while the prospect of a winning lottery ticket hangs over their heads. In the Heights has been nominated for 13 Tony

Awards, winning Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Choreography, and Best Orchestrations, as well as a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. The cast includes Roggi Chuquimarca as Usnavi, Milena Makse as Nina, and Regene Odon as the Benny. In the Heights was produced by Mike DeVito and Jennifer Grasso, directed by Corey Rubel, musically directed by Francois Suhr, and choreographed by Alex Acevedo. In the Heights tells a captivating story about what it means to chase your dreams, cling to your roots, and celebrate the community from which you grew. Performances will be on June 22 and June 23 at 8 p.m. and June 24 at 3 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Count Basie Theatre box office at 732-842-9000 or visiting countbasietheatre.org.

JCP&L Gears Up For Summer Season With Inspections & Projects

Exciting News...We Are Now

Tier 1 OMNIA Plan SM

www.footdoctorsnj.com

Meridian Health Village 27 South Cooks Bridge Road Suite 2-10 • Jackson, NJ (P) 732-987-5552

4645 Highway 9 North Howell, NJ 07731 (P) 732-905-1110

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) recently completed inspections and projects meant to enhance customer service reliability throughout the 13-county service area for summer. Part of these projects included upgrading transmission and substation equipment, upgrading circuits and trimming trees along power lines. JCP&L is still performing inspections via helicopter to look for damaged wire, broken cross arms, failed insulators, and other hardware problems not easily detected from the ground. Any issues found will be addressed. Other inspections on the ground include using “thermovision” cameras to capture infrared images that can detect potential problems and identify hot spots. This allows for repairs to be made before a power outage occurs. “The heat and humidity of summer weather results in our customers using more air conditioning to stay cool,” said Jim Fakult, president of JCP&L. “By proactively inspecting and maintaining our equipment, we help ensure system reliability to meet this increased electrical load when temperatures climb and customers depend on us to stay comfortable.” Improvement projects include:

•

Replacing 12 – 34.5 kilovolt (kV) circuit breakers at substations in Bridgewater, Milford, Old Bridge, Robbinsville, Summit and Toms River. • Upgrading 230 kV line relay protection systems at substations in Lakewood and South River. • Replacing a 230-kV transformer at a substation in Morristown. • Upgrading a transformer bank to add capacity at a substation in Riverdale. • Replacing and installing updated equipment along 17 major circuits. JCP&L has also worked on trimming trees to maintain proper clearances around electrical systems, to help prevent tree-related outages. JCP&L’s tree contractors have trimmed about 1,300 circuit miles of power lines since January and expect to trim another 2,100 miles by year end. Tree work also includes a $3 million effort to remove dead and dying ash trees affected by the Emerald Ash Borer before they can cause damage. For updated company information, visit the 24/7 Power Center at firstenergycorp. com/outages. To help stay safe around electrical equipment while on the job, FirstEnergy offers important tips at firstenergycorp.com/contractorsafety.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 16 - JUNE 22 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Keep up the pace. There will be little chance of boredom setting in as enthusiasm and drive will keep you well-suited to meeting deadlines and timetables. Don’t expect everyone to share your passion for a subject. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): There’s no ship like friendship. You should feel honored when someone approaches you for advice or a favor because that means they trust and respect you. Be objective even when it doesn’t fit your agenda. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Following your heart could lead you astray. Use logic and reason to draw your conclusions as emotions could ultimately be your enemy today. Try to devote attention to activities that have educational value. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put a little spring in your step. Some excess energy may make it a little easier to get motivated and get things done in the week ahead. Hold off on the urge to make changes as conditions may shift by the middle of the week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pay attention. Avoid miscommunication and confusion by making sure everyone is on the same page before a new project begins. Careful planning will be the key factor that decides if you achieve success or failure this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Contents may explode under pressure. It may be better to confide your troubles to a friend or confidant rather than keeping them bottled up inside. Look on the bright side as you may be taking things too seriously.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Make it so. You are tuned in to what impresses others or makes them happy so all that is left is to do it if that is your goal. Conventional wisdom may not work when a problem requires a creative solution. SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): Get off to a good start. First impressions may be especially important this week so be at your best when meeting new people. Mind your manners as it may be hard to tell when being too casual is inappropriate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Whatever floats your boat. Finish off the weekend by doing the things that you want to do, not what you have to do. You may be fascinated by things that you would normally find strange or unusual. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some issues may fall into a gray area. It may be difficult to reach a conclusion as the facts surrounding an issue may be clouded or distorted. Hold off on making decisions until more information is available. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Find your center. Tranquility and relaxation are the keys to easing tensions and recharging your batteries for the long week ahead. Don’t worry about things today that you can put off until tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Stay in your lane. Work toward the goal you set out to accomplish as distractions may conspire to derail your progress. Stick with those who share your opinions as differing points of view will create friction.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Spring In Summer: You Can Enjoy These Irresistible Hors D’oeuvres All Year Long By Wolfgang Puck EGGPLANT AND GOAT CHEESE CRISPS Makes 24 pieces 4 or 5 medium-sized Japanese eggplants or other long, slender eggplants, 7 to 8 inches (17.5 to 20 cm) long, about 3/4 pound (375 g) total weight, left unpeeled Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) olive oil, plus extra as needed 6 ounces (185 g) fresh creamy goat cheese 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped pitted black olives 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour, plus extra as needed 3 or 4 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup (250 mL) fine fresh breadcrumbs, plus extra as needed Peanut oil or vegetable oil for deep-frying Trim the ends of the eggplants. Cut each one lengthwise into slices about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick and 6 to 7 inches (15 to 17.5 cm) long. Select the 24 best slices, setting aside the remainder to chop up and include in a vegetable stew or other preparation. Lightly season the slices with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Working in batches and taking care not to overcrowd the pan, saute the eggplant slices in a single layer until tender and lightly golden on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer the slices to paper towels to drain and cool, adding more oil to the pan as needed

to saute remaining slices. In a small bowl, thoroughly stir together the goat cheese and olives. Using about 1 teaspoonful for each crisp, scoop up the mixture and form 24 small balls, placing each ball near one end of a cooled eggplant slice. Carefully roll up the slice, tucking in the sides as you do to completely enclose the filling in the eggplant. Secure with a thin wooden skewer or long wooden toothpick. In a deep, heavy saucepan or an electric deep fryer, heat about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of the peanut oil to a temperature of 350 F (175 C) on a deep-frying thermometer or the deep fryer thermostat. Meanwhile, arrange the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in separate bowls side by side near the stove or the deep fryer. When the oil is hot, one at a time, lightly coat each eggplant ball with flour, shaking off the excess; then, dip it into the egg and finally roll it in the bread crumbs to coat it evenly. As you finish coating each eggplant ball, carefully place each one in the hot oil and cook until deep golden brown, 30 seconds. (Take care not to overcrowd the oil, cooking in batches as necessary.) As each ball is done, use a metal slotted spoon or wire skimmer to remove it from the oil, transferring it to clean paper towels to drain. Arrange the eggplant crisps on a platter and serve immediately, leaving the skewers or toothpicks in if you like for easy serving as an hors d’oeuvre. Or carefully slide out the skewers or toothpicks if adding the crisps to a salad or another dish.
