By Sara Grillo HOWELL – From Jersey to L.A. and back again, Kevin Interdonato is a local movie star about to release his newest hit, which he stars in alongside Hollywood veteran Tom Sizemore, former boxing champion Ray “Boom-Boom” Mancini and Kevin O’Halloran of Clerks fame. Interdonato said he always knew he wanted to act. “Growing up in Howell I always wanted to be an actor, I just wasn’t ready yet. I had to get a lot out of my system.” That meant growing up working in the family construction business, which his dad still runs, joining the Army National Guard his senior year at Howell High School and taking a couple semesters at Brookdale Community College. He started to study acting when he was 20, but had to hit the brakes in 2004 when he was called to a year-long tour of duty in Iraq. He served in a unit nicknamed “The Sadr City Dogs,” named for Sadr

The class ran from June 5 to 15. “These dedicated young men and women are our (Seniors - See Page 4)

COPS: 7 LAKEWOOD COUPLES DEFRAUD NEARLY $2 MILLION FROM WELFARE PROGRA MS

By Sara Grillo LAKEWOOD – In an ongoing investigation, six Lakewood individuals - three married couples - were arrested after it was discovered they allegedly defrauded nearly $700,000 from Medicaid and government assistant programs by misrepresenting their incomes and receiving benefits that they and their families were not entitled to. As of press time, seven couples have been arrested in the investigation for collecting roughly $2 million in fraudulent benefits. The charges began with the arrest of two other married couples from Lakewood, who were arrested a day earlier for the same crime. All couples faced a detention hearing on June 28 in Ocean County Superior Court. According to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, they have since been released and the case will now move through the courts. Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato said in a press release, “Financial assistance programs are designed to alleviate family hardships for those truly in need. My office gave clear guidance and notice to the Lakewood community in 2015 of what is considered financial abuse of these programs. Those who choose to ignore those warnings by seeking to illegally profit on the backs of taxpayers will pay the punitive price of their actions.” The three couples who were arrested just

prior to midnight on June 27 were: • Yitzchock and Sora Kanarek of Brisk Lane were charged with 2nd Degree Theft by Deception for wrongfully collecting approximately $339,002.56 in Medicaid, SNAP, HUD and SSI benefits between January 2009 and July 2014. • Chaim and Liatt Ehrman of Twin Oaks Drive were charged with 2nd Degree Theft by Deception for wrongfully collecting approximately $185,692.22 in Medicaid, SNAP, HEAP and Sandy benefits between January 2011 and December 2015. • William and Faigy Friedman of Leigh Drive were charged with 2nd Degree Theft by Deception for wrongfully collecting approximately $149,842.28 in Medicaid, SNAP, HEAP and HUD benefits between January 2011 and December 2015. The initial arrests of two couples announced on June 26 were: • Mordechai and Jocheved Breskin of Blue Jay Way were arrested and charged with 2nd Degree Theft by Deception for wrongfully collecting approximately $585,662 in Medicaid, SNAP, HUD and SSI benefits between January 2009 and December 2014. • Zalmen and Tzipporah Sorotzkin of Olive Court were arrested and charged with collecting approximately $338,642 in Medicaid, SNAP, HUD and SSI benefits between January 2009 and April 2014. It is alleged that the charged individuals

up. It’s the first movie he’s both wrote and produced, although certainly not the last. Bad Frank won 20 Best Actor awards and nominations at various film festivals throughout the U.S. and Europe, and also won big in London, which grabbed the attention of another filmmaker and landed him a role in the film False Witness, which just wrapped up in April. The movie trailer for Bad Frank was released July 7 on Amazon and iTunes. It will also hit Redbox soon. What’s Next? Interdonato has another film, Dirty Dead Con Men, coming out this fall, which he also wrote and produced, alongside his wife. He’s also recently been cast in the film Asbury Park, which is being filmed this fall in – you guessed it – Asbury Park. As for any writing projects? He’s working on Brusco, which he hopes to be shooting next year in Howell and the surrounding area. “I’m attracted to the work more than any specific genre,” he said, adding that he tends to get pegged for more “edgier” roles than anything else. “For the most part, this business is based on how you look.” While he said there’s still a lot of work to be had out in L.A., he and his wife, who he met there, will be splitting their time between the best of both worlds – La La Land and New Jersey. Follow or contact Kevin Interdonato on Twitter @KevinIntro, on Instagram @ TheKevinIntro or on Facebook @KevinInterdonato.

Continued From Page 1 City, the worst ghetto of Baghdad, where he saw heavy combat. After returning home safely, he said he wasn’t sure he still wanted to act. “It took some time, but I found my stride again, and eventually found my way back into the film business,” he said. Aside from many independent films, he also appeared in shows such as The Sopranos, Law & Order, CSI: NY and How To Get Away With Murder. After that, Interdonato said he had to make a choice and decided set out for Los Angeles in 2010 to continue acting and also start writing and producing, among what he described as an endless sea of other actors. “You’re surrounded by nothing but actors. It’s like people come from all over the world to go to L.A. to succeed,” he said. Ironically, his latest film Bad Frank, which he starred in, wrote and produced, was filmed in New Jersey near Morristown. The film tells the story of Frank Pierce, who at first seems to lead a calm and normal life. But when past memories come to the surface and something very valuable to him is taken, he if faced with the urge to be violent once again. Interdonato said he got the offer to play the role first, and then helped rewrite the script and produce the project, before bringing some friends on board as actors and production people. He said what started out as a low budget film has been really blowing

misrepresented their incomes by claiming amounts that were low enough to benefit from the government programs, when their actual incomes were too high for them to quality. They also failed to disclose on the applications additional income they were receiving from other sources. While the five couples are being charged by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at the state level, four additional individuals were arrested by the FBI as part of an in depth review of government fi nancial assistance programs: Rachel and Mordechai Sorotzkin, and Yocheved and Shimon Nussbaum of Lakewood, were each charged in separate complaints with one count of conspiring to steal government funds. Over the course of three years, the Sorotzkins allegedly applied for and received Medicaid benefits for themselves and their children, while receiving a lump sum of $1 million from Rachel’s business in 2013, and also earning over $1 million in both 2012 and 2013, which they did not report to Medicaid officials. They continued to use Medicaid cards and ultimately defrauded the system of approximately $96,000 in taxpayer-funded medical assistance. The Nussbaum family applied for and received government health benefits during the same time period as the Sorotzkins – 2011 to 2014 – creating various companies that were said to be run by relatives, but

were actually managed by the Nussbaums themselves so they could use funds from company bank accounts to cover personal expenses, according to police. The income from these various businesses – which was as high as $1.8 million in 2013 – was underreported in applications for Medicaid, Section 8 housing and SNAP food benefits, and the family received taxpayer-funded health, housing and food benefits amounting to $178,000. The two couples appeared before a judge in federal court in Trenton on June 27. Their conspiracy charges each carry a maximum potential penalty of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or two times the gross gain or loss from the offense. “This operation highlights the success of federal, state and county cooperation in New Jersey’s effort to combat Medicaid and other government benefits fraud,” State Comptroller Degnan said in a press release. “My office will continue to ensure that only individuals and families truly in need of benefits receive them, and that those who choose to steal from New Jersey taxpayers are referred for prosecution.” Additional arrests and charges may result as the case moves through the legal process. If anyone has information about these incidents, they should contact Sergeant Mark Malinowski of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027.

Rible Bill Protecting Police Officers’ Private Information Passes Assembly Capitol Comments Assemblyman David P. Rible 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell

NEW JERSEY – Legislation sponsored by Assemblymen Dave Rible,

Jon Bramnick and Anthony M. Bucco prohibiting government agencies from

releasing the home addresses of police officers was approved today by the full Assembly. “Police officers are prime targets for angry individuals they may have encountered while perfor ming their duties or someone who simply has a vendetta against police,” said Rible (R-Monmouth). “This bill

will help protect police officers from individuals who may want to harass them or even harm them or their families.” Under the bill (A1329), t he home a dd ress of a law enforcement officer would be excluded from the definition of a government record and could not be rele a se d t o t he

public. It also requires the home addresses of police officers to be redacted in other released government records. Rible, a former police officer, noted that public disclosure requirements prevent current and retired police officers from serving their communities on boards and commissions.

Assemblyman Kean Bill To Create Special License Plates For Drug Recovery Capitol Comments Assemblyman Sean T. Kean 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell

NEW JERSEY – Assemblyman Sean T. Kean (R-Monmouth/Ocean) has introduced legislation, A-5061, issuing special support recovery license plates that will provide housing assistance funding

for individuals who have completed substance abuse treatment. “Special license plates have become a way to champion a cause and generate much needed revenue. Drug addic-

tion is an epidemic right now and a ‘Support Recovery’ license plate will demonstrate support for anyone touched by drug addiction and help to fund sober housing,” said Assemblyman Sean Kean. The idea for a special license plate to support drug recovery efforts was the brainchild of Ms. Donna DeStefano, a local resident whose daughter is in recovery from drug addiction. Ms. DeStefano is the founder and CEO of Parents in Connection for Kids, Inc.,

commonly known as P.I.C.K. Awareness, a non-profit organization that seeks to provide substance abuse treatment resources and referrals to parents of children with alcohol and drug addiction as well as bringing substance abuse awareness and prevention education to families and professionals. “P.I.C.K. Awareness believes that ‘Support Recovery’ license plates will bring a sorely needed sustainable funding model to fill the gap of recovery support services to help break the cycle of addiction,” remarked Ms. DeStefano.

“We believe that everyone is relevant. We want to break the stigma of addiction, encourage the public to reach out for help, inform them, advocate for them and reduce heroin overdoses and substance use disorder in our state.” The intent of this measure is to reduce homelessness as a barrier to recovery and provide a sustainable funding source for indigent individuals struggling with alcohol and drug addictions who need housing in a sober living environment. Further, access to a sober living environment will help to reduce relapse and

“I have heard from a number of retirees who want to ser ve their community, but choose not to because their home address will be made public,” he said. “In the current climate, police officers are understandably concerned that they could be targeted. This bill alleviates that concern.”

break the cycle of addiction. The license plate will consist of an image of a compass rose with cardinal direction indicators enclosed in a circle, and the words “SUPPORT RECOVERY” beneath the image. This license plate will provide funding for recovery, but it will also serve as a visible sign of support to those impacted by the opioid epidemic and drug and alcohol addiction. Assembly Bill 5061 has bipartisan support and has been referred to the Assembly Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee.

TOGETHERNESS

Webbed toes (medically known as “syndactyly”) occur in approximately one in 2,000 births. The webbing may be visible at birth or may appear on an ultrasound prior to birth. In most cases the second and third toes are either fully or partially joined together by a ﬂexible membrane, which is usually dissolved by an enzyme prior to birth. Several theories exist as to why some babies are born with this condition, including heredity, nutritional intake, and smoking during pregnancy. Webbed toes are more of a cosmetic problem than a functional concern. When the condition is a source of extreme embarrassment, surgery might be considered. A podiatrist can evaluate the webbing and explain medical procedures that are available to remove it. Visiting a podiatrist is the best option when planning to undergo web toe treatment. If you or your child has webbed toes and would like to discuss options please call and make an appointment by calling FAMILY FOOT HEALTH CENTER at (732) 370-1100 or see us at 4527 US Highway 9. Whether it is heel pain, foot pain, ankle pain, toenail fungus, or any other foot and ankle issue, we can provide proper podiatric treatment. HINT: Some scarring on the separated toes may be visible after surgery, and occasionally the webbing grows back.

HOWELL – A GoFundMe fundraising page has been set up for the Pedercini family of Howell, who recently lost two family members, 5-year-old Marianna Pedercini and 40-year-old Hector Pedercini, in a June 14 car accident on the George Washington Bridge. The page reads, “Hector and Marianna were so full of life and spirit. You could find them watching a soccer game together or taking a walk on the beach. Their smiles could light up any room. They were tragically taken from us leaving behind a single mother to care for her children on her own. We are reaching out in

hopes that you can help offset the medical and funeral expenses during this difficult time. Any contribution can help this family get through this difficult time. There is a long road ahead, thank you for your help! In memory of these two special people, we are calling this Butterfly Wings to represent Marianna’s love for Butterflies and the two Angels in which we will remember forever.” The fundraiser has a $25,000 goal, and so far over $15,000 was raised in just three days.

Celebrating Local Life Savers Among Us

–Photos courtesy American Heart Association (Left)Gayle Williams of Oceanport called 9-1-1 when her husband experienced shortness of breath after shoveling snow. (Right) Fred Gruber, an EMT from Ocean Township, helped save his neighbor’s father’s life by recognizing the signs of a stroke. MONMOUTH COUNTY – Thirty-six individuals and organizations in New Jersey were recently honored at the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association 2017 New Jersey American Heartsavers and Stroke Heroes Awards for their life-saving efforts. The awards are held annually to commend individuals, organizations and schools throughout the Garden State for taking extraordinary steps to strengthen the American Heart Association Chain of Survival or for rescue efforts that saved a life of someone experiencing a cardiac or stroke emergency. The Chain of Survival is only as strong as its weakest link. The American Heart Association Chain of Survival is a critical five-step process that can mean the difference between life and death for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, heart attack or stroke, as well as other medical emergencies such as choking and drowning. The five critical steps or “links” in the Chain of Survival include: Link # 1: Early Access (know the warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest, heart attack and stroke and call 9-1-1 immediately) Link # 2: Early Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Link # 3: Early Defibrillation Link # 4: Early Advanced Care Link # 5: Integrated Post-Cardiac Arrest Care Nearly 350,000 people suffer cardiac arrest outside of a hospital every year. Given immediately, CPR doubles or triples survival rates and executing the Chain of Survival can save thousands of lives annually. Additionally, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds, while someone dies from a stroke every 4 minutes. Time is crucial for stroke treatment, the faster the Chain of Survival is initiated and symptoms are recognized, the better the outcome. There are several inspiring stories and Heartsavers and Stroke Heroes awardees from Monmouth County this year. In April 2016, Fred Gruber, an EMT from Ocean Township, was at home when he heard a call over his radio about an emergency happening next door. Upon arrival, Fred found his neighbor’s father on the floor where he quickly recognized the signs of a stroke. Fred advised the responding EMT’s and paramedics of the situation and insisted quick transport to the stroke center for proper evaluation.

In January 2016, after coming inside after shoveling snow Thomas Williams, of Oceanport felt short of breath. His wife, Gayle Williams, was concerned and called 9-1-1. Moments later, Thomas became unresponsive and lost his pulse. Gayle jumped into action, initiating CPR. She continued with CPR until first aid arrived where they were able to use an AED to regain a pulse. Thomas was transported to the hospital where he underwent surgery and made a full recovery! In December 2016, several Manasquan High School students recognized a crisis situation and called for help. Their substitute teacher, Vincent Scerbo, collapsed and became unresponsive. Students ran to get the nurse and other nearby adults, calling for 9-1-1. Several players jumped into action including calling 9-1-1 and laying the victim down preparing for CPR. Cheryl Bontales, Jacqueline Szenzenstein and assistant principal Rich Read worked together to perform CPR, provide ventilations and used an AED until help arrived. The American Heartsaver Recognition Program is an initiative supporting the American Heart Association’s efforts to strengthen the Chain of Survival in our communities as part of their impact goal to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans while reducing death and disability from heart disease and stroke by 20 percent by the year 2020. Anyone can learn CPR and know the signs of a stroke. Visit heart.org/handsonlyCPR for a short instructional video on hands-only CPR that could help save a life. The American Stroke Association suggests remembering the acronym FAST to recall the most common signs of stroke. F.A.S.T. stands for: Face Drooping. Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the mouth lopsided or uneven? Arm Weakness. Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? Speech Difficulty. Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “the sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly? Time to call 9-1-1. If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately.

Scholarships Support St. Rose High School Seniors

–Photos courtesy Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation BELMAR – The Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation distributed $6,000 in scholarships to four St. Rose High School seniors. It’s a substantial amount of money that represents a significant increase since its scholarship inception in 2012. Donors to the Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation include local corporations and businesses, nonprofit and family foundations, and individual supporters. The foundation is run 100 percent by volunteers and depends solely on its donors and fundraisers to remain sustainable. The academic scholarship winners were honored on June 1 during the St. Rose Baccalaureate Mass. The athletic scholarships winners were honored on June 4 at the St. Rose High School Senior Sports Awards Banquet held at the Spring Lake Manor. The Foundation’s Scholarship Committee, chaired by Walter Gogerty, has a specific selection process when choosing the academic recipients. Senior-year students attending St. Rose High School were eligible for the scholarships, administered through the Foundation’s 2016-2017 Scholarship Program. To be eligible, senior students had to first meet two main criteria: Maintain at least an 85% GPA Plan on furthering their education at a fouryear college or university Scholarships were then awarded based on a variety of committee-specified criteria, such as essay response, volunteerism, academic

achievement and participation in school activities. “I congratulate all of the scholarship recipients who have worked hard and have earned the recognition of the St. Rose and Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation community,” said Walter Gogerty, scholarship chair of the Foundation. “It is an honor to be able to award scholarships to such a distinguished group of individuals.” The Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation will seek to sustain $10,000 in awards annually, which would result in the Foundation surpassing its most recent awards. “We have made great progress in our quest to sustain this component to the Foundation’s missions,” said Joan Morrissey, Founder and President. “We are grateful for the Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation community’s ongoing support.” After this year’s successful scholarship program, the Foundation will have awarded over $36,000 to deserving high school students in its six-year history. 2017 Christopher J.

The Ocean County Fair

–Photos courtesy Ocean County Fair The Ocean County Fair July 12 through 16 has a long history that began in the fall of 1947. Several county farmers, residents and agricultural county agents got together to display their crops and share information. This “Agriculture Day” was the start of the Ocean County Fair. Over the years the farmers and folks from all over the county continued to gather and meet with 4H kids and leaders, Cooperative Extension professionals and staff along with county leaders. Livestock, animals, rides, attractions, food vendors, fair princess competitions, fashion shows, grand champions/reserve champions and best in show all became the fabric of our County Fair. Ocean County Park located off Ocean Avenue in Lakewood hosted the event for over 40 years until the fair out grew the physical space. In the early 1980’s Robert J Miller Airpark, in Berkeley Township, became our new home giving us room to handle the ever growing fair.

This year’s fair will have 4H livestock and displays, rides, vendors, food and lots of great entertainment. Come for the amusement rides (Thursday and Sunday wristband package) and see the Chainsaw Carver, Marvelous Mutts performing, exotic animal petting zoo along with elephant and camel rides, horse competition events Friday and Saturday evenings and much much more. Our main stage will host several great bands including Amish Outlaws, After the Reign, Scott DeCarlo along with others. The Ocean County Fair runs Wednesday July 12 through Sunday July 16 at Robert J Miller Airpark Route 530 and Mule Rd Berkeley. Complete schedule available at OceanCountyFair.com.

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

7 Genius Home Remedies For Bug Bites By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. You know when you have one of those awkward moments that you think could go viral, if only someone had a camera on you? Well, recently, my friend was outside when a bug swooped from above and descended down her V-neck shirt. Faster than you can say “bugger” she was stung or bit on not one… but both of her breasts. It then dropped out the bottom of her shirt and flew away. What followed was a lawn dance the likes of which her neighbors have never seen. The chaos that ensued could’ve gone viral if someone had a phone handy. So I said to her, “Did you apply meat tenderizer? Ammonia?” She said no, but was grateful that she had taken some Benadryl at 3 a.m. that morning to help with insomnia. She suspects (and I agree) that the inflammation and pain could have been much worse. We joked about her story and dubbed it “One Bee, Two Boobs.” So what do you do if you are stung or bitten by a nasty little critter? There are a host of remedies for insect attacks and other summer “owwies” that you can find at your local pharmacy, or in your kitchen. Oatmeal. Put quick-cooking or rolled oats into a food processor or coffee grinder to make a fine powder. Mix that with a small amount of water to make a paste. Apply this paste to your sting. You can also take a bath with oatmeal for all-over itch relief. Black Tea. Put a cold tea bag on the bite site for 5

minutes. The naturally-occurring “tannins” in tea are what make it bitter, but these tannins also draw the poison out and ease discomfort. English Breakfast Tea is high in tannins. Vinegar. Use white or apple cider vinegar. Mix it 50/50 with water and use a cotton ball to dab the mixture to your sore for instant itch relief. Meat Tenderizer. This contains papain which breaks up poisons from insect venom. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon into a little cup and add some water, perhaps a teaspoon or two just to make a paste and dab directly onto the bite. The sooner after you get stung, the better! Ammonia. Insect venom is usually acidic and ammonia is alkaline so this neutralizes the poison, and is best applied as soon as possible to the bee or wasp sting. Some people recommend to dab it on straight, others suggest to dilute 50/50 with water. Ice Cubes. It’s super effective at reducing inflammation and numbing the area. Just wrap a cube in a paper towel and apply for 5 or 10 minutes. Ice feels nice on bites! Toothpaste. The menthol in toothpaste makes for a nice cooling sensation while reducing swelling. Just apply a thin layer and let it dry. If you’d like to read a longer version of this article with more natural and inexpensive home remedies, sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you.

A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though our communities are either uninsured or underinsured. To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey. As the name suggests, UM /UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For instance, you are sitting at a red light minding your business when all of the sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of

compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/ UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled. Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of July 8 - July 14 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Maintain high standards to gain respect. By remaining ethical you can overcome temporary upsets in the week ahead. Use your charitable instincts to win over those who have been less than supportive in the past. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your eyes and ears wide open this week. You might learn about recent advances in technology that can improve your productivity. Group meetings may bring about changes that impact your situation favorably. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Remain flexible and poised in the week to come. A significant other might surprise you by suggesting something that is out of character. Be prepared to handle a sudden change of plans where your finances are concerned. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can elect to be wild or to be wonderful. In the week ahead you may be more ambitious than usual so should be aware of actions that could reflect upon your reputation. Be sure to honor your promises and commitments. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ambition may rattle your cage. You may feel that it is time to exert your authority but it may be difficult to control the actions of others in the week to come. Focus on being sympathetic and understanding for the best success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may have an itch to be inventive. By the end of the week you may have a chance to play the part of an entrepreneur rather than a traditionalist. Avoid gambling

with your resources or acting on a sudden whim. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be tempted to unleash your enthusiasm and let it run freely in the week ahead. People have confidence in your abilities so don’t let anyone down. Be conscientious when other people’s interests are at stake. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get right to the point and use dynamic leadership skills in the week ahead. People tend to see you as trustworthy and will listen to your opinion. You might be more influential in a group setting than in one-on-one meetings. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Turn troubles into triumphs. In the week ahead someone might offer a solution that facilitates the achievement of your goals or a suitable compromise. Examine a problem from a different perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get your ducks in a row because this week your brilliant ideas will be able to take flight. Take pride in your ability to handle both financial and personal matters with efficiency and a high degree of confidentiality. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There is plenty to go around. Your heart is in the right place but you should be somewhat cautious about wearing your heart on your sleeve. Share without being overly generous in the upcoming week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Change your tune to tune-up your outlook. If you can prove you are working for the common good you will be seen as a hero as this week unfolds. You might make a good impression by supporting a charity.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

A Hairy Recommendation

Dear Joel, My friend got a new hairstyle and I think it’s awful. It’s the kind of cut you’d see on a teen pop star, complete with colored stripes. She thinks it looks great and is raving about her stylist, but I’d like to persuade her to try my stylist who could give her a look that’s more age appropriate. How do I go about getting her to try my stylist? Do you think I should try a gift card to my salon? Judy, Brick Dear Hairy, You made me chuckle. Just last night I was looking at some old magazines, remarking at how funny some of the hairdos were. And that’s just not the ladies either. I remember when all the men were getting curly perms. Your friend’s new

do is a touchy topic, because she is so enamored with her new look, but I think your idea is a good one. You and you friend might plan a day of beauty together with your stylist. Just let your stylist play with hair and ask if she’s been thinking about changing it. You’ll see if she’s willing to try a new look. I asked my wife about this one and the always wise Mrs. reminded me that hairstyles change all the time. Maybe if you give it a couple months, she might be over looking like the latest pop princess and more like the lady of the house. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

From Sea To Shining Sea: Set Off Culinary Fireworks With This Fresh, Flavorful Seafood Recipe By Wolfgang Puck

I haven’t seen definitive statistics on the matter, but I’d be willing to bet that Independence Day sees more people across America cooking and eating outdoors than any other day of the year. It’s a time to enjoy summer in all its glory with family and friends; and food in the open air seems even better when it’s bookended first by relaxing in the backyard or park and later by watching a great fireworks show. When it comes to selecting your main dish for Independence Day, it seems to me that people fall into two different camps. There are the traditionalists, who always go with tried-and-true main dishes like hot dogs and burgers or barbecued ribs, chicken or pork. And then there are people who want to do something original, looking every year for a way to add a new, exciting dish to the holiday. This year, I’d like to offer you a recipe that I think will satisfy both the traditionalists and more adventurous souls: my grilled teriyaki scallops (or shrimp) with grilled pineapple-jalapeno salsa. And while the recipe may at first appear to be out of the ordinary among July Fourth offerings, there is also a strong case to make for it being undeniably all-American. You can find scallops in American cookbooks tracing back at least as far as the early years of our nation’s independence. In “The New Art of Cookery,” published in Philadelphia in 1792, author Richard Briggs - an Englishman who was deliberately writing recipes featuring New World ingredients - included recipes for scallops stewed in a flour-and-butter-thickened sauce of white wine, spices, and Seville orange juice (sounds delicious, doesn’t it?); and a scallop fricassee with a sauce enriched with egg yolks and cream, served with “sippets,” little toast points to sop up every last drop. Thanks to that long history - and since some of the best, biggest, plumpest sea scallops come from New England coastal waters - this particular seafood selection makes a perfect July Fourth choice. (And I give the option of substituting shrimp, if you prefer them or can’t find good scallops.) The scallops cook quickly, so the recipe won’t get in the way of the day’s other festivities. I’ve also included ingredients that make this a recipe whose inspiration comes “from sea to shining sea.” I brush on a little teriyaki sauce toward the end of grilling to give the seafood a delicious mahogany glaze. And a salsa I make from grilled fresh pineapple - spiked with grilled onion, fresh jalapenos, mint and cilantro - complements the main ingredient with bright, sweet, slightly spicy flavors. It all adds up to an Independence Day dish that looks, and tastes, like a beautiful fireworks display. Happy Fourth of July! GRILLED TERIYAKI SCALLOPS (OR SHRIMP) WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE-JALAPENO SALSA Serves 4 as a main dish, 8 as an appetizer For the scallops or shrimp: 16 large sea scallops, or 16 peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp 1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro leaves Extra-virgin olive oil Freshly ground black pepper Kosher salt Homemade teriyaki sauce (recipe follows), or good-quality bottled teriyaki sauce For the salsa: Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating

1 large, ripe pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) slices 2 large red onions, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch (12mm) slices 3 green jalapeno chiles 3 red jalapeno chiles, or 3 additional green ones 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves 1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves 1 lime, juiced Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Preheat an outdoor grill. Meanwhile, prep and marinate the scallops or shrimp: Place them on folded paper towels to blot dry. Thread a pair of skewers parallel through 4 scallops or shrimp. Repeat with the remaining seafood. Sprinkle mint and cilantro over the seafood. Drizzle generously with oil, and season with pepper; then drizzle with a little more oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. When the fire is hot, place the cooking grid over the fire and make the grilled pineapple-jalapeno salsa: Carefully oil the cooking grid. Place the pineapple slices on the grid and cook until golden-brown, about 4 minutes per side, turning with long-handled grill tongs. Remove to a clean cutting board. In a bowl, gently toss the onion slices and jalapenos in just enough oil to coat lightly. Place them on the grid and cook until evenly browned and blistered, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill. Protecting your fingers with a clean folded kitchen towel or paper towels, peel off the chiles’ blistered skins; then slit the chiles open and discard the seeds, veins and stems. On a cutting board, cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch (12-mm) cubes, placing them in a large mixing bowl, and discard the tough inner cores. Cube the onion, mince the jalapenos, and add to the bowl with the remaining cilantro and mint. Add lime juice, and drizzle with olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. Season the seafood skewers lightly with salt. Oil the cooking grid and grill the skewers over high heat for about 2 minutes per side, brushing lightly with teriyaki sauce to glaze just before they finish cooking. To serve, spoon the salsa onto individual serving plates. Using tongs, slide the scallops or shrimp off the skewers onto the salsa. Serve immediately. HOMEMADE TERIYAKI SAUCE Makes about 1 cup (250 mL) 1/2 cup (125 mL) sake 1/2 cup (125 mL) soy sauce 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons minced green onion, white part only 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger 2 cloves garlic, peeled and grated 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon cold water In a heavy, medium-sized nonreactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the sake, soy sauce, vinegar and honey. Add the green onion and bring to a boil. Add the ginger and garlic. Simmer briefly. If you want a smooth, clear sauce, pour through a fine-meshed strainer. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water to make a smooth slurry. Reduce the heat to low and, whisking constantly, drizzle in the slurry and cook until thick and glossy, about 1 minute longer. Refrigerate in a covered container and use within a week.
