A Fair Amount Of Fun

By Charles Daye and Catherine Galioto HOWELL – The large concrete pipes sit awaiting their burial, part of the reconstruction of streets such as Sunset Drive, where flooding has been an ongoing problem.

That area is one of multiple development projects currently being worked on throughout Howell.

Sunset Drive and Blake Drive are cur-

rently under reconstruction for drainage improvements since flooding has been a problem in that area. During moderate to heavy rainstorms flooding would occur, so they are installing a new, larger drainage system, officials said. Subsequently, these installations will also improve the condition of the roads.

The bid was awarded earlier this year, for work to include the installation of

stormwater pipe upgrades and extensions along Sunset Drive and Blake Drive, Wilson Drive, Clark Drive, and Burnt Tavern Road. Improvements include approximately 4,000 linear feet of pipe, 13,000 square yards of milling, and 1,400 linear feet of concrete curb, according to the bid request.

Earlier this year, P&A Construction Inc., Rahway, was awarded the contract in the (Roads - See Page 4)

MONMOUTH COUNTY – New Jersey Health Initiatives (NJHI) has announced new grants to help make the New Jersey a healthier place for people to live, learn, work and play. The grants of up to $200,000 each will fund community-focused coalitions of organizations from different fields to develop policy-oriented, long-term solutions for healthier living.

NJHI is the statewide grantmaking program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation’s largest philanthropy dedicated solely to health and the largest foundation headquartered in New Jersey.

“This is a terrific opportunity for communities across the state tell us what their biggest health challenges are and how they are collaborating across sectors to address them,” said Bob Atkins, director of NJHI. “Our Round One grantees are already putting innovative ideas into practice. This second round of grantees

increases our spread across New Jersey for a strong Culture of Health to take root.”

Meadowlands Transportation Brokerage Corp, serving Asbury Park and the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey serving Greater Freehold, were among the second round of grantees.

The coalitions are eligible to receive a total of $200,000 over four years to develop and implement a Blueprint for Action in their communities. To ensure their work continues beyond the four years of grant funding, they are required to provide matching funding of $35,000 in the final two grant years. Teams representing each coalition will also attend a Boundary Spanning Leadership Institute, led by the Center for Creative Leadership, where participants will focus on developing strong, cross-sector relationships to better address the many factors that influence health.

Editorial Give Volunteering A Chance A lot of people want to make their community a better place to live, but few know how to go about doing it. The dilemma is an easy one to solve. If you want to make your community a better place to live, volunteer for something.

Anything. Just give your time.

As much as elected officials matter, there may be no group of citizens who have an impact on a community more than its volunteers. Whether it’s in public or civic life, for nonprofit groups or the township, in many ways volunteers make the world go ‘round.

These are people who give up their own time for others. These are folks who give of themselves so others may enjoy their lives just a little more. They clean up roads and help in hospitals; they work with local children and run group fundraisers; they sit on township committees and work with the elderly; and on and on and on.

Volunteers deserve great praise for what they give to the community, helping a number of causes and groups, which in turn help out friends and neighbors in ways big

and small.

Probably the best-known volunteers are the area’s volunteer first aid squads and fire departments.

And that is where the pluses of volunteerism, and the negatives of declining volunteers in the area, are best shown.

Towns throughout the area are experiencing an unusual problem: As their population grows by leaps and bounds, the number of people willing to volunteer for local first aid squads and fire departments has diminished.

Not only has this trend caused problems for communities trying to provide the best emergency services possible, it has also cost towns money as they move towards professional services. While this trend is expected, it’s too bad.

Volunteers have always made for a better, closer community.

If you have some time to give, even just a few hours a week or on weeke n d s , w e u rg e y o u t o consider giving some of that time to a local civic group, charitable organization or emergency service squad. You, and your neighbors, will be glad you did.

Letters To The Editor New Engines Aren’t Effective The formerly reliable diesel engine has become a thing of the past. Just 10 years ago engines were produced that could be rebuilt multiple times and seemingly last forever. I have seen WWII vintage engines running daily through my career beginning in 1970, and they had already been in service 25 years then.

The past few years have seen that change with environmental regulation getting involved. The diesel engines produced now burn substantially more fuel in the name of cleaner air, which is already cleaner than it was 100 years ago. Construction equipment is such a small fraction in air pollution statistics that no appreciable difference will ever be noted in air quality for these changes.

Companies that have purchased this new generation of diesel engine are already regretting their decision. Not only do they burn more fuel to perform the same work, but the initial cost has ballooned in just a few years, far outpacing artificially low inflation rates. Then there is the maintenance and downtime costs, these computer-mastered engines decide on their own whether they will run or not, with downtime far more frequent than in the past. Downtime for the companies in this respect is at an all-time high.

I see this from a worker’s perspective with 45 years’ experience and the tradeoff for whatever minute benefit has been achieved has been far outstripped by increased costs across the board.

James M. Spickard Little Egg Harbor

Independent Candidate For 2nd Congressional District I am running for Congress because the people deserve better than what the ‘Big Money’ duopoly of Elephants and Donkeys have to offer.

The Dems and Repubs are a two-headed monster with a single body. Like a vampire lusting for blood, this political duopoly lusts for money. They fight each other for the biggest corporations and richest individuals in an attempt to satisfy their greed.

Once their political prize is attained, it is these deep pockets they serve.

For all Congress critters, constituent service should be their greatest priority. This is part and parcel of the job and for the most part done well enough by nearly all of them. This is the reason that the American people when polled express disgust with Congress but like their own Congress critter well enough to return them to office year after year.

Congressman Frank LoBiondo, first elected in 1994 with his six-term limit pledge is now going for his 12th term.

He attempted to justify reneging on his pledge in almost patriotic terms: “Because other Congressman have broken the term limit pledge, it would be unfair to people in his district to abide by it.”

In reality. he couldn’t say the real reason, which was the splendor of eating from the trough.

Mr. LoBiondo’s constituent service has been as good as anyone in Congress, however it is his National Service which raises questions. For

him to have a 93 percent ranking by the NRA means he will not likely support bills requiring background checks or the buying of guns at gun fairs. For a family who loses a loved one from gun violence, no amount of constituent service can ever justify such poor National Service.

Another example of the corrupting influence of big money contributions to Mr. LoBiondo come from his membership in the Drone Caucus. This is basically a group of 58 Congressmen who do the bidding of the drone industry in getting Bills passed favorable to the drone manufacturers’ interests. In return they have received since 2011 $2.3 million. The Constitutional Protections and Privacy Rights of the American people are irrelevant to Mr. LoBiondo and his Caucus colleagues. It’s all about the money.

There are nine major platform priorities which motivate my Congressional candidacy: 1. Income Inequality. It is unacceptable that the top 1/10th of 1 percent have as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent.

2. Ending the corrupting influence of millionaires and billionaires like the Koch Brothers who attempt to buy elections, leaving in place a rigged economy benefitting the 1 percent at the expense of everyone else.

3. Committed to Medicarefor-All. This would provide a single level of care for all Americans without insurance companies being allowed to profit and interfere in the relationship between patients and their physicians. With government officials having the same healthcare as ordinary citizens they would have motivation to make sure it’s the best healthcare possible.

4. Climate change must be immediately addressed by ending our dependence on fossil fuels. In addition to the climate problems they cause cancer, lung disease, and asthma. Recent epidemiological research suggests the ultrafine particles emitted when fracked gas is combusted is a likely factor in the increasing incidence of dementia, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. We must transform our energy system to clean energy jobs with decent salaries for

American workers.

5. Free tuition for students in public colleges and universities. This to be financed by a tax on all financial transactions between the “too big to fail banks.” We bailed them out, now it’s their turn to bail out the American students who are now drowning in predatory loans.

6. Stopping international trade agreements like the TPP. These agreements outsource American jobs to other countries and undermine the wages of American workers.

7. Guns must be controlled by commonsense measures such as instant background checks, closing down the gun show loopholes and banning automatic and assault weapons. It would be a badge of honor to be given a 0 percent ranking by the NRA. 8. Commitment to peaceful solutions rather than violence & war. It is the unforeseen and unconsidered consequences of the Iraq invasion which created ISIS. Recently both Clinton and Trump declared the actions on Bastille Day in Nice, France as an Act of War rather than the actions of a mentally ill person. ISIS claiming that he was one of their foot soldiers is not proof of anything more than a shared hatred of the West. The epidemic of fear and hatred being fueled by politicians on both sides of the aisle makes critical the need for Independent voices in Congress to combat the insanity.

The ultimate elephant in all the Mideast tensions is the illegal occupation for nearly 50 years of Palestinian territory by Israel. America must be an unbiased mediator in this quagmire. It is only when America demands a level playing field in negotiating a just solution will peace prevail.

9. Commitment to work for ending the “Drug War.” We must stop locking up so many non-violent drug offenders and invest in jobs and education instead of more jails and incarceration. It is only by the government controlling and regulating drugs will the deaths of so many Americans from too pure or too impure drugs finally end.

Lack Of Funds Stalls County’s 9-1-1 System Upgrade

Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone MONMOUTH COUNTY – I’ve been all over the place the past few weeks with my fellow Freeholders, visiting towns, festivals and businesses throughout Monmouth County, and nothing makes me happier than to see businesses thriving and residents and tourists enjoying all that we have to offer here.

Speaking of festivals, many of these summer events would not be possible without the support of our law enforcement officers, first responders and volunteers.

I’d like to take a moment to thank all of our first responders, especially our law enforcement officers during this sad and tragic time in the country. Thank you all for serving and protecting us every day and making our communities a safe place to live. The officers

here in Monmouth County are among the best in the country and I pray you stay safe each and every day.

We constantly strive to provide the best training and infrastructure for first responders so that they can excel at their jobs and continue to keep our communities safe. We do our best to stay on the cutting edge for equipment, facilities and information, but a big part of the equation also includes our emergency response system and staff.

Monmouth County wants to move forward with timely upgrades and improvements to its 9-1-1 system, yet we are wondering why the funds being collected for this purpose are not finding their way to the county treasury? We estimate that our taxpayers are paying more than $5 million annually as their share of the 9-1-1 system fee. We want that money to come back to fund 9-1-1 improvements that will serve residents, businesses and visitors.

Presently, taxpayers pay

a 90-cent 9-1-1 system and emergency response fee, which is part of all monthly phone bills. A portion of that money should have been allocated to implement the PSAPs infrastructures through Next Generation 911(NG911).

Where is our money? I, along with Sheriff Shaun Golden and my fellow Freeholders are calling on the State of New Jersey to find out what happened to the funds collected by the 9-11 system and emergency response fee that is charged to taxpayers, on all phone bills.

Statewide, the fee generates an estimated $120 million annually and is to be allocated to upgrade state, county and local 9-1-1 systems. The plan specifically calls for infrastructures of 9-1-1 centers, also known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to be able to receive text messages, photos and videos during emergency situations. Unfortunately, the majority of the collected funds have not

been used for its intended purposes.

NG911 systems will facilitate public safety telecommunicators throughout the state to receive digital information in the form of emergency text messages, photos and videos. While the technology is available, upgrades, plans, coordination and training can’t be implemented without adequate funding.

According to Sheriff Shaun Golden, our 9-1-1 systems need to be upgraded with this technology in order for PSAPs to enhance the public safety and well-being of our residents during emergency situations, and without this funding, no advancement will take place.

We are all calling on the state to return the funds back into the account in an effort to move ahead with the original plan of building a cutting edge 9-1-1 system.

According to a report issued by the FCC for 2014, $120 million was generated for the trust fund in which an estimated $107 million

was used for other purposes.

Monmouth County hasn’t received any funding since 2011, and, since the inception of the trust fund in 2005, the county received a total of $1.14 million for 9-1-1 services. If the county had been reimbursed at the 2008 amount of $350,000, it would have received nearly $2.5 million over the past six years.

A proposed state assembly bill (A-3461/3544), is calling for an additional 9 cents to be added to the 9-1-1 system and emergency response fee, which would raise the surcharge for taxpayers from 90 cents to 99 cents a month.

I agree with Sheriff Golden, as we are vehemently opposed to this bill, since taxpayers should not have to bear the burden of paying additional money into the fund when it is being used for other purposes – this increase is unjust, especially without an explanation from the state as to where the funding went or if it will replenished.

The Monmouth County 9-1-1 Communications Center is a state of the art facility and blueprint for emergency services nationwide. It answers 9-1-1 calls for 49 jurisdictions and dispatches for 21 police, 59 fire and 32 EMS agencies.

The center handles 650,000 calls annually and is staffed with 118 full time employees. With all its advances in 9-1-1 services in recent years, Monmouth County’s PSAP, like many others, are at a standstill with digital information, since it cannot move forward with the NG 911 internet protocol, based system.

We will not give up and we hope you will join us in this fight to locate the money owed to Monmouth County so that we can continue to provide you with the best service possible and keep Monmouth County a safe place to live and work.

And please thank a law enforcement officer the next time you see one.

Thank you as always for your support.

Wage System Change Could Increase Pay To Base Employees JOI N T BA SE – T he U.S. Office of Personnel Management announced on July 20 that the agency is proposing placing all Federal Wage System employees at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst into a single wage schedule. If implemented, the proposed r u le w ill i ncrease pay for roughly 600 employees located on the former McGuire Air Force Base and Fort Dix by considering them within the same localit y pay area as their Navy Lakehurst counterparts.

“Joi nt Ba se McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is one installation and the m e n a n d wo m e n w h o work there are part of one workforce,” said Smith, who represents half of the Joint Base and has au-

thored the Joint Base Pay Parity Act. “While long overdue, OPM’s move to fix this outdated policy, which pays some workers at a lower rate for the same jobs performed across the base, is a welcomed step and should be implemented expeditiously.”

The regulations follow a n O ct ob e r 15 r e c ommendation by the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPR AC) to make this change. After six months of inaction on OPM’s part, Smith again urged the Acting Director Beth F. Cobert to accept FRAC’s recommendations and issue final regulations that correct this outdated policy in an April letter.

“Joint basing has been successfully implemented at McG u i re -Di x-La ke -

hurst, but there remains an outstanding issue of gross unfairness for some employees,” Smith said.

“Once this regulation is adopted, roughly 600 civilians on JB MDL will f inally receive equally earned pay.”

The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) created 12 joint bases, including what is now Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

After the Joint Base was for mally established in 2009, Smith and the New Jersey Delegation lobbied OPM to move the McGuire AFB and For t Dix employees into the New York region to establish parity on the installation. OPM responded by designating the General Schedule employees for better locality

pay, but this regulation did not include the wage grade employees.

“The Joint Base’s missions are vital to our national security and could not be carried out effec-

tively without the skills of the men and women stationed there, and those working in civilian support roles across the base,” said Smith.

JB-MDL is the largest

employer in the region, second only to the State of New Jersey as the largest employer in the Garden State, and contributes $6.9 billion annually to the regional economy.

Explorers Take 5th Place In Competition

–Photo courtesy Howell Police Department The Howell Explorers took 5th place in the Officer Down competition.

HOWELL – The Howell Law Enforcement Explorers represented the Howell Police Department in the highest manner at the Officer Down Competition where they placed fifth in the nation. They competed against thousands of explorers from hundreds of posts. In addition, they placed third in the physical fitness/ volleyball tournament.

In between training and competing, the explorers visited national landmarks and parks under the supervision and guidance of Lt. Schott Wall, Detective Robert Ortenzi and Patrolwoman Maureen McBride.

This was also the 20-year reunion for Chief Andy Kudrick, Lieutenant Wall and Detective Ortenzi. Twenty years ago, Chief Kudrick was supervising then Explorers Wall and Ortenzi. All three represented Howell Police at the same conference and took home several national awards.

Vice National Youth Representative Sabrina Capriotti coordinated the conference while attending several leadership meetings. She received a $2,000 scholarship for her outstanding contributions to Law Enforcement Exploring.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Nine Tips To Improve Energy And Stop Thyroid Problems

SPORTS INJURY

TO THE...

• Treating foot and ankle injuries for people of all ages • Digital X-ray and ultrasound on-site for immediate diagnosis • On-site ankle braces & walking boots • On-site specialized lower extremity physical therapy

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. 1. There are many thyroid “bombs” and cigarettes are one of them. Smokers have lower serum TSH and higher free T4 and free T3 levels than non-smokers, which makes it appear like smokers don’t have thyroid disease even when they do.

2. Drive old cars. The new ones are off-gassing all the bromide and that competes with the iodine in the thyroid gland.

The bromine, not iodine, gets taken in and that causes the brain to feel fat and fuzzy as well as fussiness.

3. Reduce hydrogen peroxide. Everyone makes this compound in our cells as part of cellular metabolism, but some people make too much and it causes pain and fatigue. It’s a free radical. It can be reduced with supplements of Catalase and Glutathione.

4. Be careful in swimming pools and jacuzzis. Those spending a lot of time enjoying these activities should consider taking an iodine capsule (about 6.25mg) once or twice a week to restore lost iodine.

The chlorine in the pool competes with iodine and may suppress iodine uptake to the point of hypothyroidism.

5. Change toothpastes. Use a fluoride-free brand because fluoride is a bully.

It competes with iodine in the thyroid gland, which will almost always absorb fluoride over iodine. When this happens it blocks production of thyroid hormone.

6. Take a break from fermented foods.

Foods like tempeh, blue cheese, parmesan, salami, alcohol, kombucha and sauerkraut. These foods are loaded with histamine, a known trigger for autoimmune disorders. These cause loads of digestive

problems and fatigue. I wrote a more comprehensive article about this topic, now archived my website.

7. Stop eating candy and soda. Blood sugar swings cause terrible imbalances with sugar and insulin levels. Those eating these things will never get well; it is simply not physiologically possible.

High insulin (needed to neutralize the sweets) is a known factor for cancer, diabetes and pain, plus high insulin makes people overweight and tired.

8. Eat less raw goitrogenic foods. This could reduce the body’s ability to absorb iodine which reduces thyroid levels and starves the reproductive organs of healthy iodine. Avoid foods that are goitrogenic unless you cook them. For example, juicing raw kale every morning is a no-no in my book. Cooking it daily is fine and incredibly healthy. See the difference? Watch out for superfood green powder drink mixes that contain goitrogens. Some common ones include alfalfa, broccoli and cauliflower powders. Also, if drinking this stuff every day it may backfire and cause fatigue.

9. Make sure to digest food. I didn’t say eat the food, I said “digest.” The problem is that food isn’t always broken down completely. This partial digestion is due to years of insult from a bad diet, which reduces secretion of digestive enzymes and increases zonulin. So I suggest taking digestive enzymes to help completely break down all the food. Pancreatin, pepsin, bromelian and others exist in supplemental form, which reduces the amount of ‘circulating immune complexes’ that trigger autoimmune flare-ups.

Inside The Law Settlement For Slip And Fall In Supermarket

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

R.C. Shea & Associates is pleased to announce that Michael J. Deem, Esq. recently obtained a $950,000 settlement on behalf of a young lady who slipped and fell in a supermarket on a freshly waxed floor.

The supermarket’s cleaning company failed to place any signage or warnings that the f loors were recently waxed and known to be extremely slippery.

Mr. Deem was able to suc-

cessfully demonst rate t hat t he Michael J. Deem Esq. cleaning company made a conscious decision to hire employees who did not follow the company’s safety policies and that the company was aware of the risks of harm associated with the employees’ failure to use warning signs when the floors are waxed.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Taking Action Against Obesity

Dear Joel I am seriously overweight. As a 43 year-old woman, I can’t believe what I have done to myself. When I was younger I had a beautiful body and now look like an inflated balloon. My husband doesn’t seem to mind but I walk around feeling embarrassed with the way I look.

I no longer look good in anything; new clothes that I buy do nothing to change my situation. What can I do?

Answer: When we are in situations such as yours, we have a tendency to feel sorry for ourselves rather than do anything about it. You have choices to make. You can either go on feeling badly about yourself or take control of your situation. I must remind you that when I write this column I am simply a friend to my readers. I am neither a doctor or have formal training in mental health. That being said it is important to me that you see a physician about your condition. You may be at risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Both are at epidemic proportions in our country.

As you may know, most diets fail. I do, however, have faith in two organizations for people such as yourself

and so many others who suffer with you. Weight Watchers (of which I am a member) does a fantastic job of helping people who have weight challenges.

Another organization is Overeaters Anonymous. These are inexpensive ways of working toward having a happier life. You may want to visit either as a guest. Weight Watchers has a philosophy of changing one’s lifestyle with a benefit of weight reduction.

I am not a believer in starting exercise and diet at the same time. I feel that your chances of sticking with both are greater if you start either one a month or two apart.

Lastly, as I’m sure you are aware, this is a chicken-and-egg story. It may be that you are unhappy or depressed and use your obesity as a way of expressing it. In other words, it is the opposite of what you describe. I wish you well.

BRAWL ADAGE ENTITY SAFARI -- BRINGS “RE-LEAF”

Page 22, The Howell Times, July 30, 2016

Plan Ahead For “Filled To Capacity” Park Closures

NEW JERSEY – The NJ State Park system serves a very high volume of visitors during summer weekends and holidays. To ensure the safety of its visitors and protection of the park’s natural resources and facilities, the park areas have a limited capacity.

During periods of high visitation, when a parks’ capacity is reached, the park will be closed and traffic will be turned away

from the park entrance. When that occurs, no additional vehicles or visitors will be allowed to enter the park, including those with members of their party who may already be in the park. If visitors are not traveling in the same vehicle with others in their party, the park suggests that the whole party arrives at the same time.

When the park is closed due to being full

to capacity, only individuals and groups with shelter and/or camping reservations will be admitted, as parking is reserved for those purposes.

Based on recent experience and visitation trends, and depending on good weather, most of the state park swimming areas will likely fill to capacity and close on weekends during the course of the summer.

VA Requests Participation In Burn Pit Registry

NEW JERSEY – The Veterans Affairs Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry is asking eligible veterans and service members to join their registry. In doing so, participants will document their exposures and report health concerns through an online questionnaire. This is also printable for individuals to take to their medical appointments where they can discuss concerns with their healthcare providers.

Currently, only two percent of eligible personnel with burn pit exposure are registered. Those who are eligible include individuals who served in Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom, Operation New Dawn, Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Djibouti (after Sept. 11, 2001) and Southwest Asia (after Aug. 2, 1990).

The questionnaire takes approximately 40 minutes to complete and can be completed in one sitting, or can be saved and returned at a later time.

Members can check eligibility and take the survey at publichealth.va.gov/exposures/ burnpits/registry.asp.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of July 30-August 5

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Spread your wings and you can be the highest flying social butterfly. In the week ahead you could find that your work may involve more social exchanges than usual. You may perform good deeds behind the scenes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are so pert when you flirt. Your social instincts are right on track and if you are single you might find plenty of admirers. In the week to come you may be tempted to take up crafting or some other creative pastime.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The right words can seem like music to someone’s ears. This could be a good time to discuss problems or to suggest some ground rules to follow without offending anyone. Use your gift for gab wisely in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the week ahead you may be tempted to take more risks than usual to please someone else. Because others are supportive and enthusiastic you feel more confident and are willing to go the extra mile.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get out the gardening gloves as there may be milk and honey growing in your own back yard. You might feel temporarily unappreciated, but before the week is over you will find that your loyalty and love bears fruit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Snapchat, twitter and pop. You might not be up on the latest social networking media trends or even own a smartphone, but in the week ahead your connecting warmth may earn praise or even admiring glances.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You might hope to shed light on a situation and find someone close is carrying a torch. A friendship might develop into something more intimate in the week ahead. Network within the community and create new contacts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Accept new insights and put them to work. Peace and prosperity is just around the corner if you don’t ignore trustworthy information. The seeds you sow in the week ahead may grow into mighty money trees.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get the facts straight up, without a chaser. In the week to come you may prefer that family members are straightforward and sincere. Be passionate about making your financial future more secure and personal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): All’s well that ends well. Trying conditions may fall by the wayside due to a vote of confidence from a friend or family member. You may catch sight of an opportunity to increase your net worth in the week ahead.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen No Sweat: Quick, Easy Creme Brulee Keeps You Out Of A Hot Kitchen This Summer

By Wolfgang Puck

Trends in cooking come and go. But in the world of desserts, creme brulee has real staying power. The thick, cool, creamy custard (creme) nestled underneath a brittle topping of burnt (brulee) sugar has such an elemental appeal that it’s a perennial favorite.

In spite of the dessert’s popularity, however, I haven’t really seen it catch on in any big way in home kitchens, for two main reasons. First and most important, many home cooks are intimidated by making custard, which calls for very slow, gentle, attentive cooking to make sure that it doesn’t curdle and turn into sweet scrambled eggs. And in summer, when a refreshing, soothing creme brulee might be just the thing, not many cooks want to stand over the stove stirring a pot of custard.

The second reason is the brulee topping. In professional kitchens, the sugar was traditionally caramelized under a salamander, a sort of industrial-quality super-hot broiler, which called for a watchful eye but did the job quickly.

Home cooks could use a regular broiler, but that’s slower and harder to watch, and does the job less evenly. In more recent years, pros and amateurs alike could burn the sugar with small butane kitchen torches; but I’ve found them not powerful enough to do a quick, thorough job.

I’m happy to say, though, that neither drawback exists any more, thanks to two relatively inexpensive devices.

First is a high-speed commercial-quality blender, the sort with 1050 watts of power and a maximum speed of 24,000 RPM. These used to be very expensive, but now you can get excellent home versions for under $200, ready to do everything from crushing ice to making superb smoothies to turning nuts into nut butters. Best of all, the friction generated by the blender’s highest speed can actually raise the temperature of ingredients to cooking heat, producing results like a hot ready-to-serve pureed vegetable soup or - you guessed it - a smooth, creamy custard for your creme brulee.

As for the burnt sugar, I’ve found that a small, hand-held butane torch like you can fi nd inexpensively in any large hardware store does the job far more efficiently than the smaller torches sold in gourmet shops; but those latter ones, or even your broiler, are also perfectly adequate if you’re prepared to take it more slowly and diligently.

With the help of these two modern conveniences, you can make amazing creme brulee in just a few minutes of work, without breaking a sweat. (You’ll still need to allow a few hours for chilling them, though.) And you’ll thrill your

family and friends by serving them what remains one of the trendiest desserts around!

QUICK AND EASY CREME BRULEE Serves 6 10 large cage-free egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, plus more for the brulee topping 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) heavy cream 3 slices peeled fresh ginger, each about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick 1/2 cup (125 mL) crystallized ginger, coarsely chopped, if necessary, or fresh berries First, make the custard mixture. Put the egg yolks, 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 1 tablespoon sugar, cream and fresh ginger in an 8-to-10-cup (1-to-1.25 l) high-powered commercial-quality blender. Put on the lid securely.

Turn on the blender to maximum speed.

Leave the blender running until you can see that the custard is steaming hot.

When you stop the blender and take off the lid, the temperature of the custard should measure about 195 F (90.5 C).

Blend for 7 to 8 minutes, turning off the blender to check with an instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the custard without touching the blades or canister.

Place six 3/4-cup (185-mL) ramekins or custard dishes on a rimmed pan. Divide the crystallized ginger or berries, if using, among the ramekins, spreading them evenly across the bottoms. Pour the custard from the blender into the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for several hours to overnight.

Before serving, uncover the custards.

Using a sugar shaker or a spoon, sprinkle a thin, even layer of sugar over the custard.

To caramelize the sugar, light a handheld propane blowtorch or kitchen torch, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions. Holding the torch close enough to a ramekin so that the tip of the flame touches the sugar, caramelize the sugar layer on one custard, moving the flame back and forth until the sugar crystals melt and turn a deep amber.

Turn off the flame. Repeat the caramelizing process with the remaining custards.

Chill the ramekins until the caramelized sugar crusts are very cold and hard, about 1 hour (but do not refrigerate too long, or the crusts may melt). To serve, place the ramekins on small plates, instructing guests to crack the sugar topping by hitting it with the backs of their spoons.
