By Sara Grillo HOWELL – Township officials recently announced that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Preservation Trust Fund approved a $750,000 grant to purchase open space under the Green Acres program.

According to a statement from the governing body, the funds will be used to acquire the Pierce property, a 123-acre former farm site located along Maxim Road. A meeting and public hearing was held in February on the topic, where officials made it clear they intended

to preserve the land from future development.

Kelsey Howard from Maser Consulting was at that meeting and said she was working with the township to submit the grant application through the Green Acres program in order acquire the Pierce property, which at that time was listed for sale commercially at $1.2 million dollars. The application process, which she said included site inspections, multiple appraisals and price negotiations, could take six to eight months to complete.

Linskey Sworn In As First Assistant Prosecutor

By Sara Grillo FREEHOLD – After serving in the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office for over three years as Deputy First Assistant Prosecutor, and in New Jersey’s law enforcement community for nearly two decades, Lori Linskey was sworn in on July 10 as First Assistant Prosecutor.

She becomes the first woman to own the title of First Assistant

Prosecutor in Monmouth County.

In her previous role as Deputy Assistant Prosecutor, Linskey supervised the Appellate, Forfeiture, Professional Responsibilities, Open Public Records Act and Grant units, as well as the Victim-Witness and Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs. Before joining the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s (Linskey - See Page 4)

By Sara Grillo HOWELL – Five residents were interviewed for the vacant Board of Education member position left open by Jeanne DePompo, who had to resign, but school officials elected to choose the second runner up from November’s election – Angel Sanchez.

A notice was posted by the school board on July 5 letting the community know about the vacancy and asking any residents interested in filling the role to submit their intent to Assistant Business Superintendent Ronald Sanasac by July 11.

The five candidates were then interviewed in public at the regular Board of Education meeting on July 12.

“Deliberations were thoughtful and it was a very, very difficult decision b e c a u s e w e’r e fortunate to have a wealth of wonderful

candidates,” said Board P r e sid e nt Ti mot hy O’Brien after returning from a 45-minute executive session to discuss the candidates.

O’Brien said the reason behind choosing a candidate so quickly is because they wanted the new board member to participate in the board’s upcoming retreat, which is likely to be in August. Sanchez will now serve as board member for this year’s remaining seven meetings. When asked during his interview if he will run for reelection in November, he (Vacancy - See Page 4)

NJ Sea Grant Consortium Announces “Favorite Beaches”

By Sara Grillo MONMOUTH COUNTY – Right before the July 4th weekend hit beaches and shore towns in Monmouth County, the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium held a beachside ceremony at Music Pier in Ocean City to announce the winners of this year’s “Favorite Beaches” poll.

The annual survey is nothing new. It began in 2008 as “New Jersey’s Top Ten Beaches,” to bring communities together and show pride for our New Jersey beaches, and of course, encourage a little “friendly” com-

petition among them.

In addition to naming the top three overall beach winners, as of 2016, winning shore towns were also announced from all four coastal counties.

Here are the overall winners and those from Monmouth County: Overall: Ocean City, Brigantine and Margate.

Monmouth: Asbury Park, Spring Lake, Sandy Hook – Gateway National Park, Belmar and Ocean Grove.

the school board could be strengthened, he highlighted connecting with the community as an ongoing issue, and that a solution could be striving for more casual conversations outside the typical meeting setting, which can be intimidating to some residents.

Sanchez said quite the opposite. He’s been in Howell for eight years – coaching soccer, football and wrestling – and has served on the school board’s operations, safety and education committees. He said the board’s community outreach is already strong, and that residents have every opportunity to join committees and come to meetings if they want to be involved.

The vote in favor of Sanchez was not unanimous. Board member Christy Mangano, who also ran alongside Sanchez and Thor in the November election, voted no. Board member Al Miller had to abstain since he arrived late to the meeting and missed a portion of the interviews.

O’Brien said that each individual who threw their name in the ring for the position would make an excellent board member. “I want to thank all of you for stepping up and coming out tonight,” he said.

Continued From Page 1 answered with an unwavering yes, adding, “I’m in it for the long term.”

Aside from Sanchez there was another recent candidate, Ira Thor, who also ran for a seat in the November regular election. There were also three other applicants: • Amy Cores, a 15-year Howell resident and family law attorney who is planning a run for State Senate.

• Robert Smith, a 10-year Howell resident and retired military instructor who sat on the township’s zoning board for two years.

• Kelly Machu, a 23-year Howell resident, school insurance professional and volunteer ESL teacher.

Despite their diverse backgrounds, all five candidates were unified in the fact that they all have children who are currently in Howell schools or who have graduated from the school system.

Thor, who was the first runner up in the November election, said he has no desire to run for any other position within Howell outside the Board of Education. When asked where

ONCE TOO OFTEN

People who have sprained the same ankle several times may be at greater risk for developing arthritis in this joint later in life. Unlike arthritis in the knee or hip that often develops in old age as a result of wear and tear, ankle arthritis is most commonly associated with repeated ankle trauma. To reduce the likelihood of developing ankle arthritis, sprains and other ankle injuries should be treated at the time of injury. Proper diagnosis of the cause of the injury is also important. A podiatrist can determine whether structural misalignment, ankle instability, or flat feet are contributing to ankle problems. Aggressive treatment and lifestyle changes may prevent or delay the development of trauma-related arthritis in the affected joint.

If you’ve injured your foot or ankle, please call FAMILY FOOT HEALTH CENTER at (732) 370-1100, or come see us at 4527 US Highway 9. Let us help you recover from your injury as easily and as quickly as possible so that you can return to your normal activities and get back to doing what you love to do. We are available for emergency calls at all time, and our doctors can be reached for urgent medical issues 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Ocean, Monmouth All-Stars Face Off

By Chris Christopher WEST LONG BRANCH – Chase Stephensen, clutching an award, was surrounded by family and friends.

The recent Lacey Township High School graduate received hugs, handshakes and kisses at midfield after being named the Defensive Most Valuable Player of the game for the Ocean County All-Stars after their 17-8 loss to the Monmouth County All-Stars in the 40th annual All-Shore Gridiron Classic at Shore Regional.

“The award means I hopefully will have a lot of success when I play in college,” said Stephensen, who will play for Kutztown University. “The rest of the defense helped me a lot. My coaches put me in the right spots.

The biggest things were to play in my last high school game in front of my family and friends, put on big hits and do my job.”

Stephensen played strong safety for Ocean.

“I had to cover the other team’s tight end,” he said.

With 3:14 left in the first half, Stephensen recovered a fumble at the Ocean 1-yard line.

“Nick Page (of Toms River South) knocked the ball loose and it was on the ground,” Stephensen said. “I saw it on the ground. A couple of guys dove for the ball and I pounced on it.”

Stephensen pounced on his chance to play for Kutztown.

“I talked to a couple of guys and they enjoyed it there,” he said. “They won their conference last year. When I visited the school, it felt like home to me. I went to a couple of camps there and I felt it was what college should feel like.”

Stephensen, a 6-foot, 215-pounder, played three years of varsity ball for the Lions under coach Lou Vircillo.

“It’s definitely sad to wear the Lacey helmet for the last time,” he said. “I have played football in Lacey since the age of seven, beginning in Pop Warner. I am excited for what’s ahead – college football. It was a privilege for me to play for Lacey and to play in this game.”

Ocean coach L.J. Clark, the Lakewood Piners’ mentor, said he enjoyed working with Stephensen, recruited as a hybrid linebacker-safety.

“He’s tough,” Clark said. “He brings it in every game. I saw him play in (Shore Conference) Class B South during the regular season last fall and he brings his hard hat to work. It was a pleasure to coach him this week. He’s a great kid. He’s a super competitor.”

Adi Palmer, who starred for Lakewood, was named Ocean’s Offensive Most Valuable Player after catching five passes for 55 yards. Marlboro running back Cameron Caorsi was honored as Monmouth’s Offensive Most Valuable Player after rushing for a Classic single-game record 179 yards and one touchdown on 26 carries, turning the artificial surface of Robert E. Feeney Field into a greyhound track. Caorsi will attend Brookdale Community College, which does not have a football team.

Keyport player Zach Frick was named Monmouth’s Defensive Most Valuable Player.

Monmouth, which led the game from start to finish, took a 6-0 lead with 1:49 left in the

first quarter when running back Paul Reed of Asbury Park caught a 5-yard screen pass on the left sideline from St. John Vianney’s Matt DeGennaro. Freehold Township’s Tyler Schulman kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead after Monmouth drove 60 yards on 12 plays.

Schulman pushed the lead to 10-0 with a 29-yard field goal with 8:59 to go in the first half. Caorsi made it 16-0 with 10:44 left in the third quarter, scoring on a 3-yard touchdown run; Schulman’s PAT put Monmouth up 17-0.

Ocean sliced its deficit to 17-6 with 4:12 to go in the game when Anthony Costanza of Brick Township tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Hayden Frey of Point Pleasant Boro. Costanza connected on a pass to Central Regional’s Mike Bickford for the two-point conversion, producing the final score.

GRID GOSSIP: Caorsi broke the record of 161 yards set by Joe (The Jet) Henderson of Freehold in 1986.

Monmouth, which leads the series 21-18-1, snapped Ocean’s three-game winning streak.

Former Brick Township assistant coach Bob Spada and ex-Matawan mentor Butch Britton were inducted into the Shore Coaches Football Foundation Hall of Fame during a halftime ceremony. Spada was a part of 18 Brick championships. The SCFC presented the game.

The game’s public address announcer was Tommy Farrell, a former Monsignor Donovan (now Donovan Catholic) player.

“I can’t believe it’s been four years since I played in the same game and served as a captain for Ocean County,” the former Griffin said on his Facebook page.

Farrell’s father, Tom, is the superintendent of the Shore Regional High School District. He played and coached football for the Griffins.

He coached football at New Egypt where he served as principal before becoming a Shore administrator. Young Farrell played football for the Griffins.

Carol Frank Brown and her husband, Donovan Brown, hosted a fettuccine dinner at their Brick home during the several days of practice prior to the game. It was for Brick players and their Ocean County teammates.

“It was so much fun to see them together as friends and not as foes!” Frank Brown said on her Facebook page. “Lots of laughs!! Go Ocean!!!”

Ocean assistant coach Len Zdanowicz Jr., the Brick Green Dragons’ mentor, participated in his sixth Classic with six of his players.

Zdanowicz Jr. played center for Ocean, representing the Green Dragons in 1990.

“I look back on the numerous friendships that I made with my ‘sworn enemies’ from neighboring towns and feel so grateful for the opportunity given to me by my coaches,” he said. “Thank you coach Wolf (Warren Wolf, then Brick’s head coach), Jim Calabro and Kevin Campbell (Brick assistant coaches).”

Senator Singer Requests Special Envoy To Monitor And Combat Anti-Semitism

Capitol Comments Senator Robert W. Singer 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell

NEW JERSEY – Senator Bob Singer, Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg and Senator Bob Gordon joined a bipartisan group of more than 60 Jewish state legislators from across the United States in a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to appoint

a Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism.

“In recent months we’ve seen numerous threats of violence against Jewish Community Centers throughout the country,” Senator Singer said (R–Monmouth and Ocean).

“We must do more to keep

anti-Semitism from taking root in our country and the rest of the world. We cannot continue to effectively track the rise in anti-Semitism, or deter people from committing these vile acts, without reappointing a Special Envoy.

I hope that the administration will heed our call and fill this vacancy as soon as possible.”

The Trump Administration has signaled that it does not plan to replace the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism at the State Department. The remaining

staff in that office will be transferred to other offices this month. The Special Envoy plays a key role in diminishing anti-Jewish hatred overseas – and has been mandated by law since the George W. Bush Administration.

This position has been important to fighting anti-Semitism and past envoys have made key accomplishments to fight hate abroad.

“We need to take action at every level to combat anti-Semitism, both in the United States and around the world. The

Special Envoy plays a vital role in monitoring anti-Semitism across the globe and in developing strategies to combat it,” said Senator Weinberg (D–Bergen). “With our colleagues from 25 other states, we are asking the President to act expeditiously to make this appointment. Filling this position is crucial to the effort to fight hateful acts against members of the Jewish community wherever they occur.”

“Failing to appoint a Special Envoy would be an unacceptable reversal of United States

policy aimed at combatting hate and violence. Presidents of both parties and Congress have supported this position, which is required by federal law, and it is imperative that this administration maintain the commitment to this effort in the Department of State by acting immediately.

The United States must be a global leader in promoting religious freedom and protecting human rights. This is vital to that mission,” said Senator Gordon (D–Bergen and Passaic).

Successful Summer Tourism, County Roadwork Moving Along At No Cost To Towns

Freeholder Forum

by Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone MONMOUTH COUNTY – Happy July, Monmouth County! With the summer season now in full swing, I would like to take the time to provide an update on a few events and happenings in our area.

I’d like to wish everyone a belated Happy Fourth of July.

Moreover, I’d like to thank all those who have served our great nation and protected our freedom. Your service and commitment is truly appreciated.

To celebrate the holiday, I participated in a few events that showcased how special small-town traditions truly are. I’d like to thank the Avon Historical Society for hosting their annual patriotic celebration, which included a reading of the Declaration of Independence.

I also participated in the annual Independence Day Parade in Ocean Grove – yet another great tradition that brings out families and friends.

It’s always great to see all the

smiling faces along the parade route.

I’d like to thank the City of Long Branch for hosting another successful Oceanfest on the Fourth of July. I had the chance to stop by in the afternoon and I can tell you personally it was packed! It’s always great to see families taking advantage of all our County has to offer, which brings me to my next point – business.

Our businesses have been reaping the benefits of another successful summer tourism season. The beaches and boardwalks are packed and we’re hearing businesses are doing well. I’m confident our business community will continue to report good news and I look forward to hearing as much.

On another note, those traveling throughout the County may have noticed an increase in the amount of road work being completed. With warmer weather, this is the time of year

when our County department of public works and engineering can complete numerous projects. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we have the best employees who are truly passionate about and take great pride in their work.

Updating our infrastructure is one of our main initiatives and this includes numerous bridge projects around the County.

As such, we’re proud to announce the impending rehabilitation of the East End Avenue Bridge, located between Neptune Township and Neptune City. Construction is anticipated to begin in October and conclude before Memorial Day Weekend 2018. I had the pleasure of presenting project details, with our County engineer, to both municipalities during their respective public meetings.

The scope of the project will include, but is not limited to, the installation of a steel sheet pile wall in front of the existing timber bulkhead, concrete deck repairs, a bridge sidewalk replacement, a bridge railing upgrade, decorative pedestrian lighting with architectural treatment and resurfacing, as well as upgrades to the guide rail and bridge railing. During the work, the bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic but

will remain open to pedestrian traffic.

And, rightfully so, many people will wonder how much this will cost. I’m proud to announce this roughly $3.5 million project will receive 92 percent of its funding through the New Jersey State Transportation Trust Fund, with the remainder of funding coming from the County, at no cost to the municipalities. I, along with my fellow Freeholders,

assure everyone this bridge will be a tremendous improvement to the entrances of Shark River Hills and Neptune City.

This is just one of the many projects we’re proud of around the entire County. It is always a good day when we can announce a construction project that benefits our communities without hurting you – the taxpayers and people we proudly serve.

Lastly, I would like to re-

mind everyone the Monmouth County Fair returns Wednesday, July 26, and runs through Sunday, July 30, at the East Freehold Showgrounds, located on Kozloski Road in Freehold. It’s always a great time and I encourage everyone to attend and check out the County tent, as well as the attractions.

As always, it is an honor to serve the great residents of Monmouth County!

By Sara Grillo HOWELL – A “Hope for Howell” fundraiser for community prevention will take place on August 16 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Howell PAL parking lot, 115 Kent Road.

The vendor fair, which is expected to become an annual or fall-and-spring tradition, was organized to raise money for substance abuse prevention education and programs in the Howell community that are supported through the Howell Municipal Alliance.

There will be about 40 vendors set up in two aisles around the Howell PAL building for shoppers to peruse, selling food, crafts, clothing, accessories, body and skin products, and more. A DJ will keep things lively, and kids will enjoy a bounce house, water slide and games. Parking will be directed by the Howell Police Explorers.

“I hope the event will bring more attention to the Howell Alliance’s mission to prevent substance abuse and alcoholism in our community, with a focus on our community’s youth. We want to bring awareness to the

importance of educating parents and other community members about the dangers and consequences drugs and underage drinking have on our young people said Tracie Kritch, Howell Alliance Coordinator in July’s Prevention Press.

Volunteer organizers Josephine Higgins, Elina Howe and Yelena Ferens helped bring the event together with extensive planning and dedication. Support from Howell Police Corporal Michael Pavlick, who co-chairs the Howell Municipal Alliance, as well as Howell PAL President/CEO Chris Hill and Howell PAL Program Coordinator Jaime Szyarto is another a reason Hope for Howell came to fruition.

Vendors need to register by July 26 and there is a $50 registration fee per vendor. Local businesses have already donated $75 to have their business names featured on the Hope for Howell tee shirts, which eventgoers will receive for free.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Educating Our Community On Nursing Home Abuse

By Michael Deem, Esq. at R.C. Shea And Associates

People put their elderly parent or grandparent in a nursing home so that they can be safely taken care of, so that someone can properly look after them in their old age.

No one expects that these nursing home residents should get anything less than the proper care and respect that they deserve, but with the horrifying rise in nursing care abuse, this is not always the case. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse in the United States, more than 30 percent of all nursing homes in America indulge in some form of resident abuse.

Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked, and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse.

Even more alarming is the prediction that the problem will only worsen in the near future. More than 91 percent of nursing homes lack adequate staff to properly care for patients. A Health and Human Services Department report found patients in understaffed nursing homes were more likely to suffer from a variety of problems, such as bed sores, malnutrition, weight loss, dehydration, pneumonia, and serious blood born infections. It’s a serious concern that will only increase with time, given that the population of people aged 85 or older is expected to double to 8.9 million by the year 2030.

Signs of abuse and neglect may be (but are not limited to) evidence such as patterns of bruising, unexplained injuries, frequent infections, bedsores, questionable hygiene, appearance of malnutrition, emotional distress, and unsanitary living conditions. Document any such evidence you observe, and

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Michael J. Deem

bring it to the attention of your attorney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death.

Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways.

Many elders needlessly suffer from nursing home abuse in which they are manipulated, humiliated, or physically harmed by the very people entrusted with providing them with loving and tender care. Instances of physical, sexual and verbal abuse have taken place at the very nursing homes where elders are actually supposed to be well taken care of; unfortunately, cases of nursing home abuse in America and also in New Jersey are rising rather than falling.

If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse call the trial attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, 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 and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney and much more.

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

I Bet I Can Make You Yawn

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Last week I forced myself to stay up two nights in a row to work. I certainly had work to do, but I also wanted to evaluate my brain function after sleep deprivation.

The following morning, I was yawning quite a bit while sharing the story with Sam. He jokingly snapped, “Hey, stop that! You’re making me yawn!”

I thought that was hilarious and kept my eye on him for several minutes, and sure enough, when I yawned, he yawned. Yawns are known to be “contagious,” especially if you are emotionally connected with one another. Did I get you to yawn just yet?

Saying the word out loud or reading “yawn” triggers a yawn. They’re usually satisfying in nature, and if they’re not, it is thought to be your subconscious inability to let go. One yawn lasts about 6 seconds and during that time, your heart probably beats faster.

A yawn does not really happen just because you’re bored or tired. I mean it could, but it doesn’t have to. For decades, doctors said it was your brain’s attempt to pull more oxygen in for the tissues. Research on animals published in The International Journal of Applied Basic Medical Research in June 2017 points to yawning as a way to drain lymph from around the brain. That’s interesting because we are only now realizing the brain actually has a lymphatic system.

We, meaning humans, yawn in the womb, and yes, it’s boring in there for sure, but around 11 to 20 weeks post-conception, it can be seen on ultrasound. Another interesting fact about yawning is that medica-

tions can cause it. For example, one of the biggest offenders is the category of antidepressants, especially the SSRIs and SNRIs like Prozac and Cymbalta, respectively.

Benzodiazepines (clonazepam, alprazolam) and opiate analgesics (hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine) will often trigger yawning attacks – it’s a well-documented side effect during normal treatment. It’s more apt to happen during ‘interdose withdrawal’ (the hours in-between your scheduled doses of the day), or more likely when you quit taking these drugs, which requires a long tapering process.

Yawning attacks induced from antidepressants, benzos and opiates are almost always annoying and uncomfortable.

Anesthetics used to sedate you before surgery can cause yawning. And a big yawn-inducing category are the dopaminergic used in Parkinson’s such as L-dopa or Levodopa (Sinemet contains that) or Apokyn (Apomorphine).

Did you know that the complete disappearance of yawns could indicate damage to your hypothalamus? It’s specifically damage to the dopaminergic (dopamine-producing) neurons. This is why Parkinson’s patients yawn less frequently.

Likewise, the effectiveness of Parkinson’s drug therapy can actually be gauged if the patient begins to yawn again.

Some researchers think you yawn more if you are depressed. I’m not really convinced of that. Confirming this is difficult because depressed folks often have insomnia, so they are going to naturally be more fatigued during the day, and probably yawn more too.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of July 22 - July 28

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep your finger off the trigger in the week ahead. You could be tempted to put too many irons in the fire or to take unnecessary risks. Focus instead on spending your money wisely and on things of lasting beauty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People are willing to forgive and forget in the week to come.

Use your time wisely and focus on making loved ones feel comfortable, cherished, and desirable.

Demonstrate your good taste when making key purchases.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Reiterate important commitments. In the upcoming week you may be thrown into contact with someone who seems to wear a halo or acts like an angel where you are concerned. You will have divine help when needed.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Touch your nose while you rub your tummy. Work on becoming better coordinated this week. The foot that seems to be caught in your mouth could be a sign that an apology to a significant someone will be needed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take pains to use powers of perception. Pushy people may want their way in the week ahead, but might lack the ability to explain their needs. To avoid confusion set up a powwow and you can discuss a comfortable compromise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Defend and protect what you own and what you believe in. Unless you guard an important thing someone may take it away from you. In the week ahead enjoy having some extra spending money to use for lovely items.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone loves you a bushel and a peck. In the week to come you might find that you are more popular than usual.

You efforts could be appreciated in the workplace, so may find it easy to make progress with your career.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Learn something valuable from those who are older and wiser. Be careful not to create misunderstandings with family members or loved ones who are an integral part of your life. Be thrifty in the week to come.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Solve the puzzle. A maze doesn’t necessarily lead to a dead end, although you might hit a few walls. In the week ahead ask for assistance or advice from experienced people who have traveled the same route.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ignorance is bliss. Think about this carefully as you stroll through the week with a heavenly smile on your face. Being on cloud nine does not guarantee that the promise made today will be kept tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Everything has a price tag. This week you may be prodded by your conscience to show you are polite and return favors. A generous donation, reciprocal dinner date, or paying a commission can knock your budget on its ear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may think it is in vogue to be vague. In the week ahead you may be challenged to present your views in a straightforward manner. Control an urge to spend money rashly or to take unnecessary risks.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Overly Friendly Neighbors

Dear Joel, My wife and I have lived in our home for 45 years and love our neighbors, but they recently moved to a senior living community. The new family that bought their house seem like very nice people, except that they belong to a different faith that they always want to “share” with me. I want to be a good neighbor, but how can I get along with them when I feel like screaming “shut up” when they start trying to convert me?

Dennis, Forked River Dear Dennis, In the big picture of all the bad things that could have happened with new neighbors, this may not be the worst one. Can you imagine if they threw crazy parties every weekend, blasting music and slamming car doors? What if they left garbage and litter all around, or started doing big renovations with saws

and hammers going all day? I know someone trying to convert you may make you want to run and hide, but tell them simply that you have lived in your home for 45 years and that you and your previous neighbor agreed to never talk about politics or religion. Remind them that the best expression of any religion lies in the actions taken by its faithful followers. Tell them too that you appreciate their consideration and that you will be sure to reach out to them if you are ever curious. Then practice what you preach by sharing a friendly smile whenever you see them.

They are probably nice folks who will get the message in just a little while.

Easy Does It: There’s No Sufferin’ Over This Simple Succotash Recipe

By Wolfgang Puck

Cooking with the seasons has become a big catchphrase these days. And it’s easy to understand why. When you plan meals around what’s freshest in the farmers’ market, you almost always ensure that the food you put on your table will have the best flavor and texture while also offering the most nutritional benefits - and all at the greatest savings.

Many people think of cooking with the seasons, though, as if those words also promise endless variety, as if each trip to the market will reveal wonderful new produce to bring fresh excitement to your meals. And, yes, often that does happen, as new items gradually come into season.

More often, however, in the midst of any given season, each new visit to the farmers’ market is just as likely to present you with the same ingredients over and over again. That can, of course, excite your imagination, encouraging you to look for new ways to cook the same ingredients. Just as often, however, it can make you wish for a perfect “go-to” recipe, something easy that you simply won’t grow tired of no matter how many times you prepare it.

That’s how I feel about succotash, the old-fashioned summertime vegetable mixture whose name comes from “boiled corn kernels” in the language of the Narragansett tribe, whose lands became part of Rhode Island. In colonial days, settlers began using that term to describe mixtures of cooked corn with other summer/early autumn vegetables. The dish’s popularity has endured to this day, despite any negative connotations from the often repeated, exasperated exclamation of Sylvester the Cat in the old Looney Tunes cartoons: “Sufferin’ succotash!”

Succotash is, in fact, a recipe not likely to cause you much suffering. It starts with fresh ears of corn, from which you cut the raw kernels off the cob with the help of a sharp knife and a slip-resistant cutting board. Then you saute the corn and combine it with equal-sized pieces of other summer vegetables such as zucchini and bell pepper, plus onion, garlic, celery, fresh herbs and spices.

It’s an incredible, simple dish to make, and one you and your family aren’t likely to tire of, especially since you can switch up the recipe with other vegetables such as lima beans or yellow summer squash, hot chiles and different herbs or spices.

Serve your succotash as a side for grilled or roasted food; or treat it as a sort of

chunky sauce, presenting the main dish on top of it. It’s even fun to toss the succotash with freshly cooked pasta for a vegetarian main dish. You may be surprised by how often you wind up cooking it - without a moment of sufferin’!

SUMMER VEGETABLE SUCCOTASH Serves 4 3 large ears white or yellow sweet corn, shucked, all corn silk removed 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 2 celery stalks, darker green leafy ends trimmed, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 1 medium white onion, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves 1 bay leaf Juice of 1/2 lime Pinch cayenne Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish First, cut the kernels from the shucked ears of corn: Steadying one end of an ear of corn on a slip-resistant cutting board, with the corn at an angle away from you, carefully use a sharp knife to cut off the kernels several rows at a time, cutting downward from the nearest end to the other, parallel to the cob. Transfer the kernels to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining ears of corn.

In a heavy cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to flow easily, add the corn kernels and saute them, stirring frequently, until they begin turning golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

Transfer the corn to a bowl and set aside.

Carefully wipe out the skillet with paper towels.

Return the skillet to the heat. Heat the remaining olive oil and, when it is hot, add the zucchini, celery, bell pepper, onion and garlic.

Saute, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but not yet browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the thyme, bay leaf, lime juice, cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste, and continue to cook for 3 minutes more. Stir in the reserved sauteed corn kernels and cook for another 3 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with the parsley.
