Farmin�dale Tryin� To Fill Holes Le�t By Mayor’s Death

By Courtney McCann FARMINGDALE – There are a lot of things that the people of Farmingdale still miss about Mayor John “Jay” Morgan, who passed away unexpectedly in March after a brief battle with cancer. Running into him having breakfast at Connie’s Restaurant, or at a table at Tony’s Pizzeria for lunch. Seeing him in the dunk tank at the annual Farmingdale Community Festival. And of course, seeing him in the mayor’s chair leading borough council meetings. But one of the biggest things people may miss about Morgan is his cell phone. (Mayor - See Page 5)

ALLAIRE TO FIELD 1800’S BASEBALL GAME

ALLAIRE – The great-granddaughter of one of the national pastime’s pioneers will be among the spectators when the Bog Iron Boys will host the Harrisburg (PA) Keystones at the Historic Village of Allaire on October 2. The teams will play baseball by the rules of 1864 – without fielding gloves. Doc Adams wanted it that way. Major League Baseball’s official historian calls Adams “the most significant figure in the early history of baseball.” Marjorie Adams of Connecticut, Doc’s descendant and an advocate for his election to the Hall of Fame, will attend October 2’s game. Her great-grandfather invented the shortstop position and set bases 90 feet

apart, the number of innings at nine and the the Allaire team will finish the season in Maryland against the Chesapeake Nine on number of players on a team at nine. The New York physician played with the October 9. (Allaire - See Page 5) Knickerbockers in Hoboken, the actual birthplace of baseball. Adams presided over the adoption of “The Laws of Base Ball.” His original document recently sold for more than $3 million.

After facing the A vintage baseball game between the Bog Iron Boys and the Pennsylvania team, Keystones will come to Allaire on October 2.

Pet Ministries Bless FourLegged Friends

By Lois Rogers The fifth annual Blessing of the Animals, Pet Fair and Pet Adoption Day unfolded on the wide green lawns behind St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Herbertsville Road, Brick, with scores of critters and the “service humans” who gathered with them for recognition of their place in God’s creation. One-by-one and sometimes two-by-two, as in the case of a couple of pooches who rode a cart to receive their blessings from Pastor Alan Darby, the critters reflected the peaceable kingdom at its best. The sense of tranquility continued even after the pets – mainly dogs with a sprinkling of cats – received their blessings. Settling in shady spots, the pets munched on treats and slurped from huge water bowls thoughtfully set out by members of the congregation’s Pet Ministry which sponsors and coordinates the community outreach event. Among four and two-footed friends relaxing (Pets - See Page 6)

Mayor:

Continued From Page 1

“It seemed like he knew everyone,” joked Council President Michael Romano. “If you needed to know an address or a phone number, just ask Jay.” Morgan served as mayor of Farmingdale for 13 years, and his public service on the borough council dates back to the early 90s. The third generation borough resident took a great interest in Farmingdale and was involved in many different organizations, leaving a noticeable hole that the community had to fill. One of the first areas that had to be addressed was the borough government, as Morgan passed away before completing his term as mayor, with approximately seven months left until an election could be held to fill the remainder of his term.

Allaire:

Continued From Page 1

The Historic Village of Allaire, in Wall Township’s Allaire State Park, was an iron-making “company town” in the 1800s. Today it is a living history museum with guides in period clothing who take visitors through authentically restored buildings. Admission to the park will be free on Sunday. It is at 4262 Atlantic Avenue, Farmingdale. Spectators are urged to bring lawn chairs. The baseball team wears long-sleeved shirts and cravats (ties). Although the 1864 rules

The Howell Times, October 1, 2016, Page 5 According to Romano, with some guidance from the Monmouth County Board of Elections, the issue was quickly resolved, with then-Council President James Daly taking on the role of acting mayor. “Because I had been council president for many years leading up to that point and also had some months while (Morgan) was still at home running meetings and in that capacity of acting mayor it wasn’t a difficult transition as far as council was concerned,” Daly said. “The biggest transition was dealing with the fact that he was no longer there. Jay was a wealth of knowledge and contacts that will be missed by Farmingdale for many years to come.” Daly will be running for mayor in the November elections, and is running unopposed for the three-year term. Should he win the election, a replacement member will be appointed to the borough council following

call for underhand pitches, they play a fastpaced game. Vintage sport re-enactors from other states consider the village hallowed ground. It was the spring training site for the 1898 Brooklyn major league team which later became the Dodgers. The Bog Iron Boys are seeking more volunteers to play with the team next season. Current players are from Monmouth, Ocean and other counties – some even from nearby states – and they range from teenagers to senior citizens.

the election. Among Daly’s goals as mayor are to continue improvements to downtown Main Street and resolving some draining issues on Main Street, or County Route 524, both of which were projects advocated by Morgan. “Jay’s grass is far reaching even though he is no longer with us,” Daly said. “I for one daily thank Jay Morgan for the things he has done for our town of Farmingdale.” Besides serving as mayor, Morgan was also a lifetime member of the Farmingdale Fire Department, a member of the Farmingdale/Howell Lion’s Club, and president of the Farmingdale Historical Society. “He was very good at helping us keep a schedule and make sure we participated in all of the community events on that schedule,” said LoreLei Rouvrais, who took over as president of the Historical Society

following Morgan’s passing. “With an all-volunteer organization like ours that’s a really important thing.” Morgan also found ways to get involved in the Farmingdale community in unofficial capacities. Bill Shaffer, president of the Farmingdale School Board, recalled the work Morgan did behind the scenes to help secure a large grant for a new playground. He was also a regular fixture at the annual Farmingdale Community Festival, where he even took a seat in the dunk tank to raise funds for worthy causes. Shaffer described Morgan as a straight shooter who was very invested in the community he had spent his whole life living in. “Someone who has been that involved in what they are doing is going to leave quite a void to be filled,” Shaffer said. “Filling a gap that large can be difficult, but it’s making other people step up and get involved.”

after the blessing were Susan Keenan and Xena, her canine partner in rescue operations with a team based out of Wendell, North Carolina where she has taken many training classes. Keenan, Brick, is a retired Elizabeth police officer. This is the second year she and Xena, a stately, rescued Belgian Malinois, have come for the blessing on their rescue missions. It’s a mission Keenan embraced because “so many people and families need help in finding loved ones,” she said. The majority of the searches undertaken by the team have been for the K9 Emergency Response Team in North Carolina, she said. “They are like family down there,” said

Keenan who added that she loves the ongoing mission. “We come (here) to ask for God’s help,” as they venture forth in the quest to reunite people with their loved ones. Janine Siano, also Brick, brought Buzz, her very polite beagle to his first blessing since she rescued him from an area shelter. “We were away on vacation and went out of our way to be here,” said Siano who spoke of how Buzz brought her out of a bout with anxiety and depression. “I wanted a dog to help me and I went to a shelter with thoughts of rescuing a shepherd,” she said as Buzz nuzzled her hand. “But Buzz picked me,” she added, describing how he approached her warmly and encouraged her to pet his head.” “He was a return to the shelter and he was the smallest dog there,” Siano said, noting that she

quickly bonded with Buzz as did her husband. “This feels like a great event,” Siano said of the day. “It feels Godly.” Along with the blessings, it was a day that offered a lot of practical information and entertainment. The church Pet Ministry rounded up more than 30 animal related vendors and 10 non-profit organizations focusing on rescue and adoption. There were demonstrations by professional dog trainers and K-9 demonstrations and canine massage therapists. A highlight of the visit for many children was the petting zoo set up by Legacy Ranch, Howell, where Pastor Darby conveyed blessings to, among others, a couple of skunks, Tom the turkey, a duck named AFLAC, an emu, a lama and a very fetching pig. There was a lot of traffic in and out of the

rescue organizations including the trailer operated by the S.A.V.E. Rescue Shelter currently located on Fischer Blvd. in Toms River but soon to move into a new facility on Route 9, according to Michele Verga who called the day a good over all outreach to the community at large. And that is the intention of the ministry said Ivy Kirn, who helped found it. “Our mission is to support and honor God’s charge to us to honor the animals,” said Kirn. She added that the group steadfastly works make good on that pledge, not only with the Blessing and fair, but with initiatives throughout the year. A new initiative is to ask congregants to contribute to support a shelter every month. There are two shelters receiving support now, she said. “Our goal is to have a 12 month presence,” over time, she said.

Featured Letter Be A Candle That Lights The Way The last line of the first parag raph of the Star Bangled Banner, “O’er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” should be the motivation for paying respect to our Flag. Some may question their freedom because of the actions of a fe w, bu t we a r e all bound by laws and jud icial power s t hat prevail. Tr ue, we may have some rogue police, but should we turn our back on all those who do ser ve and protect, both military and civil, in all t y pes of st r ife? Isn’t it the braver y of ou r m il it a r y t hat ha s kept ou r count r y f ree from oppressors? Police departments throughout the nation are on call 24 hours a day. Police of any color are a welcome sight when the call for help is sounded. Let us not judge all by the mistakes, and prejudice, of a few. All society has some inequity in the way laws are enforced. Some see enforcement of laws as being the foot of tyrants on t hei r ba ck , but i n ma ny com mu n it ie s it

is law enforcement that protects the most vulnerable. Should society b l a m e a l l p ol i c e f o r the transgressions of a few? Should we blame e nt i r e bl a ck c om mu nities for the sins of a few? Or, should we all stand up and try to right perceived wrongs? The K n ig hts of Colu mbus have as their motto, “It is bet ter to lig ht one ca nd le, t ha n to cu rse the dark ness.” Let all of u s b e t h e “c a n d le that lights the way,” by working within the system without denigrating the work done by those who do a difficult job, under trying conditions, both militar y and civil. Rather than stoking the fires of discontent, become an advocate for prioritizing family and civil values to all you may touch or reach. Blatantly showing disrespect for our nation’s symbols will not only tarnish your name, but also besmirch our nation’s icons. Charles L. Frattini M a n c h e s t e r Tw p . Councilman

Letters To The Editor Shouldn’t Be Too Proud It’s taken me over a month to get past the shock of reading just part of your article entitled “Local Comic Back on America’s Got Talent” on the front of your August 13th issue. So, this comedian “dropped the f-bomb on stage,” representing Whiting, and a letter is written on behalf of the Mayor saying “we are thrilled,” and “we are proud,” and “we are behind you every step of the way,” to this individual? Your article goes on to have the Mayor encouraging our local comic just as he would “one of our graduating high school students off to tackle the world.” Having thought about this a lot, it makes me wonder if the Mayor would write a letter of praise to any high school student who dropped the f-bomb while giving a speech during his or her graduation, or while applying for a job? While happy to see someone local on national TV, I’m disappointed in the Mayor for giving his blessing to this behavior. As for “America’s Got Talent,” I never watched it before and I certainly don’t intend to start watching it when Whiting is represented in this way. Chet Jelinski Whiting

Refused To Serve Last night, I watched Donald Trump tell why he thought he should be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. As I watched, I could not

help but contrast his military experience with my own. Donny and I graduated high school in the same month. He spent that summer having a good time, getting his first deferment. I spent that summer, like thousands of others, in basic training. While Donny was enjoying his second semester of college, my brother in law was killed in Vietnam. I was in Georgia, learning to be an operating room assistant. When Donny received his second deferment, I was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, helping to deal with the hundreds of casualties of the war our country was fighting. When Donny got his third deferment, I was overseas. When he got his fourth deferment, I was just out of the Army and looking for a job, and struggling with PTSD. Donny graduated college that year. With his degree, if he had accepted his fifth call to serve his country, would likely have been put in the Finance Corps, and would have served his entire term of service at Fort Benjamin Harris, signing checks. Donny, instead, wrangled a fifth deferment. So, my question is, should the Commander in Chief be a coward who thought he was too good to serve, even as a payroll clerk? A man who calls those who did serve, “losers,” a man whose military service is less than that of a WAC, ‑‑ should this man, who refused to serve at the bottom, be at the top of our military chain of command?

Support Hagler For Commissioner A lifelong resident of Long Beach Island, I am thrilled to learn that Danielle Hagler, a young woman who I’ve known for over 30 years, is now a candidate running for Commissioner of Long Beach Township. In the many years I’ve known Danielle, I have found her to be an intelligent, highly motivated, honest, ethical, successful, kind and all-around great person. Danielle has an abundance of experience in leadership and in years of bringing people together to improve their lives. She is a graduate of Southern Regional, Coastal Carolina University and holds a Master’s Degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Danielle’s success in all areas of employment (Hagler’s Marina, several positions in the Fulbright Commission) as well as her community involvement (Coastal Volunteers in Medicine), show that Danielle has the spirit and attitude that it takes to represent the residents of Long Beach Township both impartially and successfully. Knowing that she is one of very few women to run for the Board of Commissioners for Long Beach Township, I couldn’t be more hopeful or excited for my friends/neighbors who live in the Township and who have the opportunity to elect Danielle. While we all are aware of the high concentration of women business owners/operators in the Township, having Danielle on the Board of commissioners will provide an impartial, yet highly experienced voice for the men and women of Long Beach Township. Danielle and her husband have a vested interest in keeping Long Beach Township a hometown community, one in which to reside and raise their newborn daughter. Although I reside in Barnegat Light, I

take an interest in what is happening in each of the towns of the Island as one aspect or another will surely impact me. It’s my belief that Danielle Hagler will serve the residents of Long Beach Township well, and that she is the type of person needed to lead the Township community in the right direction. I fully support Danielle and her team because they represent what our Island community needs most. Becky Tarditi Barnegat Light

Lenape Homeland We’ve all heard place names like Man hattan, Hoboken, Rumson, Navesink and Manasquan. What few know is that these are all Lenape words, the language of the native people of New Jersey, along with Delaware, and the NYC-Philly metro areas. But in the region, there isn’t a single federally recognized Lenape reservation. Looking deeper into the h istor y reveals broken treaties, broken promises, genocide, and forced exile. Lenape survivors were forced under duress to Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. The maltreatment and murder of Lenape is the dirty secret of New Jersey history. One that most ignore entirely, or heavily whitewash. The Lenape were promised their own sovereign state in New Jersey for fighting the British during the American Revolution. The government lied. They proceeded to kick out the survivors from their land, with a mere $1,000 Spanish Dollar payment under duress. End this genocide, fraud, and apartheid. Give Lenapehoking back to the Lenape, stop the fraud of New Jersey, and tell Chris Christie the Governor isn’t wearing any clothes. Eric Hafner Toms River

Support Staff Members Of The Year Recognized At Board Of Education Meeting

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

This is How you Feed your Brain By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The biggest fear that older people face is Alzheimer’s disease, where memory and cognition begin to fade. I recently reviewed a client’s list of medications and he was taking two drugs to preserve brain function, Aricept and Namenda. These drugs are useful to some degree, but I feel that there are foods, spices and herbs in your own kitchen that go a long way to preserve cognitive function, stabilize mood and lower levels of anxiety. I absolutely love spices that heal, so much so that I have a free ebook “Spices that Heal” which you can download right now at my website suzycohen.com. This ebook talks about spices that heal all kinds of conditions. Now, here is how you properly feed your brain: Put hemp seeds in your salad. Hulled hemp seeds put healthy fats into your body, and offset the bad fats typical of an American diet. Hemp seeds have practically no THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. They have a perfect 3:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids. Put a tablespoon (daily) on your salad, scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables. Sprinkle my recipe for Brainpower Season Salt. Mix together the following 6 seasonings in equal amounts and put into an empty salt shaker. Sprinkle as desired: Rosemary, powdered gotu kola (get from an apothecary), himalayan salt, onion powder, powdered garlic (not garlic salt) and powdered turmeric. Eat mushrooms. I’m not talking Portabellos,

I’m referring to Lion’s Mane which gives us the active ingredient of Hericium erinaceus. Lion’s Mane is sold as a dietary supplement, and known for its potent neuroregenerative powers. I buy the real mushrooms in the fresh produce section and butter sauté them with Brussels sprouts and garlic. Lion’s Mane is a neurotrophic so my pick for you if you have any kind of brain damage from anything (trauma, benzos, mold, etc). Drink Juice. We all think of antioxidants as a dietary supplement, like Vitamin C, for example. Citrus juice is a great source of natural vitamin C so a few ounces of orange juice would provide natural C which helps you make dopamine, serotonin and other neurotransmitters that a healthy brain requires. Eat Foliage. By foilage, I mean salads and greens to give you folate, the natural form of the synthetic vitamin “folic acid.” Leafy greens like kale, spinach, broccoli, Swiss chard and lettuce have a lot of folate. Greens also provide powerful antioxidants so eat something green every day. I recommend you cook cruciferous vegetables in order to reduce goitrogens. Obviously you don’t cook the lettuce. Say yes when they offer black pepper. The servers will often ask if you want black pepper on your salad at restaurants. Say yes next time because piperine, the primary component of black pepper slows the breakdown of serotoin and raises other feel-good endorphins. Studies are ongoing for black pepper’s role in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

NEW JERSEY – After a heart attack or stroke, following the doctor’s orders is important for physical recovery, but emotional support is just as important for cardiac and stroke survivors. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association offers an online Support Network to help heart and stroke patients, as well as their families and caregivers. Like a conventional support group, the Support Network connects patients who are going through similar journeys. The monitored Network also gives individuals access to experts via online chats and webinars, as well as personal insights from fellow survivors and caregivers. It’s common for people to feel depressed, isolated and overwhelmed after having a heart attack or stroke. Remember, you are not alone. About 85.6 million Americans are living with some form of cardiovascular disease or the after-effects of stroke, and research suggests as many as 30–50 percent of stroke survivors develop depression in the early or later phases post stroke.

“Emotional support is extremely important to recovering patients and caregivers,” asserts Stacy Quinn, a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) survivor and volunteer for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. “Feeling alone and becoming depressed are common after a heart attack or stroke. Interacting and connecting with others who have been through the same thing can help ease those feelings.” The Support Network is a place to ask questions, find helpful information and tips, and share concerns or fears. Encouragement and inspiration can be found here, as well as the opportunity to offer your own words of wisdom and reassurance. The Network also provides information and materials for starting face-to-face community-based support groups and resources for healthier living. To get involved and start the journey to emotional healing, visit heart.org/SupportNetwork or StrokeAssocation.org/SupportNetwork.

Inside The Law Is Rental Insurance Necessary?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Robert Shea and Michael Deem of R.C. Shea & Associates

Strictly speaking, a lessee–you–is not required to pay the rental company additional money to insure their rented vehicle in the event the lessee is involved in a collision. New Jersey requires that all rental agencies provide liability coverage for lessees in the sum of $15,000.00 per person for bodily injury or death, $30,000.00 for bodily injury or death of all persons in one accident and $5,000.00 for property damage arising out of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. In New Jersey, every owner or registrant of a vehicle must maintain certain statutorily minimum coverage for bodily injury, death and property damage. A lessor, such as Avis or Enterprise, is the owner of the rental vehicle(s), therefore they are legally responsible for maintaining the statutorily minimum insurance on their vehicles. An insurer’s policy that attempts to exclude

you (the lessee) from coverage is not enforceable. A rental company cannot take away your statutory rights. Michael J. Deem Esq. In addition, your personal automobile insurance policy will act as excess insurance in the event you injure someone or damage their property as a result of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. If you choose to pay the rental company extra money for their insurance then ask them what it is you are purchasing? If they are legally required to provide you with basic liability coverage are you then purchasing excess insurance? If so how much additional insurance are you purchasing?

MANALAPAN – The keynote speaker at the October 8 Archives and History Day will be Paul W.

Historian Schopp will discuss the famous Blue Comet Train, which ran between Jersey City and Atlantic City, before changing routes to pass through a number of towns in Monmouth County.” “The Blue Comet began service in 1929

and became a high-society train with its meteoric run between the Hudson River and Atlantic Ocean,” said Monmouth County Archivist Gary D. Saretzky. “The train survived two economic depressions before taking its fi nal passage on the eve of the nation’s entry into the Second World War on September 28, 1941.” Archives and History Day will take place

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Our House Was Our Castle And Our Keep

Dear Joel My wife and I are both retired. I am writing because she may see this and realize that it’s her that I am referring to. Our house is filthy and disgusting. I can no longer look in the refrigerator. Our stove hasn’t been cleaned in months and the bathroom equally as dirty. Any suggestions as to how to change her? Answer: My suggestion is (as always) stop trying to change her and work on yourself. I

see nothing in your letter that makes me feel that you are incapable of doing some housework. Too often people can help situations but find it easier to blame others. Perhaps if your wife sees that you care enough to do the cleaning, she will follow suit. If my suggestion doesn’t fit, many people hire people to do the cleaning for them. If that is all that’s wrong in your home, consider yourself lucky. It’s not a heavy lift.

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

New CASA Volunteers Sworn In To Advocate For Children MONMOUTH COUNTY – Recently, the Hon. Teresa Kondrup-Coyle swore in 10 members of the local community as CASA volunteers—court-appointed special advocates for abused and neglected children. Family and friends gathered in Monmouth County Superior Court to watch the volunteers take an oath promising to advocate for the best interest of the child. The newly appointed CASA volunteers join 80 other dedicated community members who have been trained and are advocating for foster children in the county’s juvenile dependency court system. As officers of the court, they ensure that the children’s needs are recognized and best interests are considered both in the courtroom and in the community. CASA volunteers are asked to meet with the child regularly and are authorized to interview people in the child’s life such as social workers, attorneys, and teachers. They attend court hearings with the child and report their findings to the judge. “Our volunteers pledge to stay with each child until the case is closed, and the child

is placed in a safe, permanent home,” said Cindi VanBrunt, director of the CASA for Children of Monmouth County. “The advocate can often times be the only consistent adult presence in the child’s life.” With more than 600 children waiting for a CASA volunteer, many more advocates are still needed. There are no prerequisites for becoming a CASA volunteer other than being at least 21 years of age, clearing an extensive background screening and successfully completing 30 hours of training. The next advocate training session for Monmouth County will be held in October. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a CASA volunteer and the rewards that come along with serving as the voice of a child, contact 732460-9100, cindi@casaforchildrenmc.org. The CASA for Children of Monmouth County is a member of the National CASA Association, a network of more than 900 CASA programs serving children in 49 states and Washington DC.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of October 1-OCTOBER 7

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take your medicine even if you don’t like the taste. Someone may be right, but this might not win your affection. Keep accurate financial records this week as they may come in handy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may meet those who display kindness and warmth when you’re feeling as cold as ice. In the week to come you may find it difficult to avoid being reserved during social occasions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You could be confused by conflicting causes this week. Put a puzzling problem aside until you can get advice from a wise friend. Get caught up with a backlog of essential tasks. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might be better off staying put than taking off. In the week ahead spend time on organization. This will help you achieve a closer rapport with family or improve your surroundings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take it for granted that your wishes will be granted. As this week unfolds you might realize that whatever transpires, even if it slows you down, will have been in your best interests. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make it your business to be a whiz at business. There may be an opportunity to improve your income flow in the week to come or the desire to put a home based activity into motion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You know what they say about all work and no play. In the week ahead your business instincts could sometimes be off base. Avoid buying something just because it is a good deal or on sale. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t wheel and deal with too much zeal. Hold onto every penny that you deserve to keep in the week ahead. Don’t use questionable tactics that lie in the gray area of ethical behavior. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be grateful for the talents you possess. Just because others are more successful in some areas does not diminish your gifts in others. Focus on being at your best this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A relationship may need extra rations of respect. When you have become familiar with someone it tempting to take them for granted. In the week ahead remember “please” and “thank you.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Live life logically. You may meet people in the week ahead who can illuminate your thinking processes. Focus on making some fascinating new friends and participate in group activities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A square peg can’t fit in a round hole. You may find that you don’t quite fit into a new group. In the beginning of the week be cautious about signing contracts or listening to gossip.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Pan-Roasted Chicken Shows How Recipes Can Evolve With Time By Wolfgang Puck

It seems to me sometimes that too many people treat recipes like scientific formulas to be followed precisely. But that isn’t how I love to cook, or how I hope fans of my cookbooks or online cooking school will treat my recipes. Great recipes are living things. Most of them can be changed in an instant, based on what’s in season or good in the market, how ingredients are responding as you cook them, and whatever whim might strike you. That’s certainly how I like to cook, especially at home. And I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately while looking at my recipe for pan-roasted chicken with a sauce of port and whole-grain mustard, and seeing how it has evolved over the years. When I fi rst started making and serving this recipe more than two decades ago, it featured butterflied chicken - that is a whole bird from which the backbone was cut out before the chicken was spread out and f lattened. I browned the chicken skin-down in an ovenproof skillet, fi nished cooking it skin-up in the oven, and prepared a pan sauce with port wine, cream, two kinds of mustard, and fresh herbs. Today, however, the dish as I make it is noticeably different. First of all, I take the extra step of removing most of the bones from the chicken - a fairly simple process I describe in the recipe that follows, though you could also ask the poultry department of a good supermarket to do it for you. The result is poultry that is easier and neater to eat, which I know the guests in my restaurants prefer. As for the recipe’s popular sauce, I’ve also made significant changes. Most noticeably, I use a higher proportion of port and chicken stock, reducing them more to intensify the sauce’s overall fl avor before I add the two kinds of mustard. More importantly, I also use proportionately less cream than I used to, a reflection of the fact to health-conscious eaters everywhere are trying to cut back on the fat they consume. And, a favorite secret of mine when cooking at home, I stir into the sauce a touch of bottled barbecue sauce or Chinese hoisin sauce, which enhances the results in the same way that glace de viande (literally, “meat glaze”), a greatly concentrated veal stock, often does in classic French restaurants. All of those small changes add up to a big difference in a recipe that I hope will become one of your own standbys, as it is mine. And I hope you, like I still do, will continue to consider this and many other recipes delicious works in progress.

BONELESS PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PORT & WHOLE-GRAIN MUSTARD SAUCE Serves 4 2 whole organic chickens, 2 1/2 to 3 pounds (1.25 to 1.5 kg) each Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups (500 mL) port wine 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth 2 tablespoons bottled tomato-based barbecue sauce or hoisin sauce 4 tablespoons heavy cream 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 heaping teaspoon Meaux (whole-grain) mustard 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives Starting alongside each chicken’s breastbone and following the ribcage, use a sharp knife to cut the meat away from the bones on each side; cut through the leg joints. Trim off the wings, leaving the drumettes attached. Cut out the leg bones to produce 2 boned halves from each chicken. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Over high heat, heat the oil in a heavy ovenproof frying pan large enough to hold the chicken. Carefully add the chicken skin-down. Sear undisturbed until the skin is golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast skin down until the skin is deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Return the pan to the stovetop, turn the chicken skin up, and sear over high heat 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep warm. Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add the port and swirl over high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon as needed, to deglaze the pan. Add the stock. Simmer briskly until reduced by about two thirds. Stir in the barbecue sauce or hoisin. Stir in the cream, bring back to a boil, and continue simmering briskly, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the mustards. Return the chicken to the pan along with any juices that have collected. Over low heat, turn the chicken to coat with the sauce and warm it brief ly. Serve with your choice of sides, garnishing the chicken with fresh herbs and the port/ mustard sauce.
