Officials: Oyster Creek Drill Successful By Chris Lundy LACEY – The scenario is pretty frightening: a plume of radiation has escaped Oyster Creek Generating Station. Fortunately, it was only a drill, and according to the people grading the test, local officials passed with flying colors, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Nuclear Regulatory Committee. There was a three-day “Full Scale Plume/ Ingestion Pathway Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise” throughout local towns recently. The plume was imagined to stretch 10 miles from the plant, then 50 miles. At that point, the “Ingestion” part of the drill came in. Officials had to collect data and determine whether the agriculture in the vicinity would be safe to consume. There were 239 criteria upon which they were judged, said Susan O’Neill, chair of the Regional Assistance Committee for FEMA’s Region 2. It included calculating the dosage of radiation in various areas and communicating important information to officials and residents. The municipalities that were tested included: Ship Bottom, Ocean Township, Pine Beach, Barnegat, Beachwood, Berkeley, Toms River, Harvey Cedars, Island Heights, Long Beach Township, Lacey, Ocean Gate, Barnegat Light,

Lacey Day Ripe With Apple Fest Fun By Bob Vosseller LACEY – Two of the township’s biggest public events of the year are Lacey Day, usually held in August, and September’s Apple Festival. This year, those events me rge d sea m le ssly into one mega Macintosh-sized program and the turnout went beyond expectations. “Lacey Day and the
Apple Fe st ival a re t wo lo n g- s t a n d i n g and proud traditions in Lacey Township. It just made sense to combine the events and transition them into the fall season instead of the heat of August,” Township Mayor Peter Curatolo said.

Chowderfest:
Continued From Page 1 The 29th Annual Chowderfest weekend had probably one of the best turnouts this area as seen in a long time. With a record number of approximately 15,000 people in attendance, 300 volunteers, 15 restaurants and according to Todd Elsasser the event coordinator, well over 3,000 gallons of red, white and creative chowders. This year’s Chowderfest has made its way into the history books. Glenn Kalina, DJ for WJRZ FM and the MC for the event, stated, “Chowderfest 2017 has gone down in history as the most attended.” The weather was beautiful, the crowd was huge and the smell of chowder was in the air. The event was split into two days. Saturday marked the Chowderfest Weekend Merchants Mart. This featured a wide variety of vendors, local businesses, great end of summer sales, plus great food vendors and entertainment on the main stage. This year the Merchant Mart captured the “makers” trend with the new Make Shift Row Tent with handmade products for sale.

Live music was provided by Jimmy Brogan, White Rabbit and The Impulsives. Children’s entertainment included hands on crafts from The Learning Experience, Face Painting by Sprinkles the Clown and Crunchy the T-Rex made his first ever Long Beach Island appearance. There was something for everyone at the free Merchant Mart. On Sunday, the streets of Bay Village and the Taylor Avenue ball field between Ninth Street and Taylor Avenue (across from Schooner’s Wharf) were packed tight with locals and tourists alike getting their fill of chowder, Chowderwear merchandise, beer, and live musical entertainment from bands and artists like The Pickles, Ted Hammock, Jason Booth and Funk Shway & The Dojo Birds. Restaurants like The Blue Water Café, Lefty’s Tavern, the Delaware Avenue Oyster House and so many more served up endless amounts of some of the best Chowder in all of the state. These restaurants and businesses lined the field in Bay Village under big white tents featuring themed displays, brilliant enthusiasm and cups upon cups of delicious Chowder.
“Chowderfest extends the economic impact form summer well into October,” said Lori Pepenella, CEO of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce. “It allows our restaurants to shine and connect with customers they never would have before.” Chowderfest is Long Beach Island’s big ‘end of summer’ event that helps to extend the summer season here on LBI and benefit local businesses, she said. All the proceeds from this event go directly to the hundreds of local businesses, charities, events and local scholarships. It was more than just a locally-attended event, she said. Fans from as far as California, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico were among the visitors. “A big thank you to everybody who showed up, the restaurants who make the chowder, everyone who helps us during the event, my wife (Jillian Elsasser, President of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce), the committee and the guys who are here every day and all week long. Those people are the ones who make this happen,” said the event coordinator Todd Elsasser, as he personally thanked all the individuals and groups that made this event possible.
LBI’s 29th Annual Chowderfest of 2017 may be over but Elsasser said the committee are already planning the next one and are in big hopes for an even bigger turnout for their 30th year.
The findings were released at the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management, at the Robert J. Miller Airpark in Berkeley. Officials noted that these were preliminary findings, and that the full report will be released in 90 days. It was a public meeting, but no members of the public attended. While FEMA oversaw the public agen-
cies’ responses, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was judging the reactions of Exelon, the plant’s owner. Josephine Ambrosini, emergency preparedness inspector for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said that inspectors were in five key spots inside Oyster Creek. They observed the reactions of the employees on
duty and they responded correctly. “Reasonable assurance exists that Exelon can effectively implement the Oyster Creek Emergency Plan to adequately protect the public health and safety in the event of a radiological emergency at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant,” she said as part of her presentation.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Traffic Nightmare On Princeton Ave. For the past seven or eight years, the traffic on Princeton Ave. in Brick has become a nightmare. The speed limit says 40 miles an hour while there are times the cars are doing 46 to 50 miles an hour. Princeton Ave. is a residential area. The volume of the traffic is because the people are using Princeton Ave. to avoid Route 88 which is 35 miles an hour (and is a commercial road) while trying to get to Point Pleasant. The majority of the people do not live on or off Princeton Ave. The cars come in caravans of 7 to 19 or more all day, every day seven days a week. Trying to cross Princeton Ave. is at your own risk because the caravan of cars is coming both ways. Then there are people driving in the bike lane while trying to get around a car that is trying to make a turn off Princeton Ave. These people don’t even slow down – they continue their same speed. These drivers are sometimes very abusive to the people walking or riding their bikes in the bike lane. There are fewer people walking, jogging or riding their bikes anymore because they don’t feel safe. Princeton Ave. has very few sidewalks – hence walking or jogging in the bike lane.
Then we have the problem of trying to get out of our development. First there are the cars speeding through a red light. I live on Princeton Pines Place. When trying to go straight across Princeton Ave. to Post Road, that’s another nightmare. We have to fight the people making a right turn onto Post Road even though they have a red light but they continue to speed around the corner. They need a “No Turn On Red” sign at this corner. Sometimes we have to slam on our brakes to avoid an accident even though we have the light. But these people just keep going. I addressed these concerns with the town over two years ago but nothing has changed. If anything, the situation has only gotten worse. There are more cars, trucks, and even big commercial trailers. The summer months always bring more traffic and then there is the Farmers’ Market on Saturdays at Windward Beach during the four summer months. The traffic is horrible on Saturdays during the summer. This issue needs to be addressed before a major causality occurs. Elizabeth Schuckman Brick

Not A Vote For Trump In reference to John Cardello’s recent letter, I feel I must respond even though his “facts” are questionable at best. About his reference to the great job Trump is doing; we learn from the Gallup. com poll: Trump’s most recent weekly average approval rating is 38 (from Sept. 11-17, 2017) From Newsweek: “Trump’s approval rating is bad – like, historically bad. The weighted average from data-focused website FiveThirtyEight pegged it at just 37 percent on Friday – Day 197 of his presidency. No other president in the history of modern polling has had an approval rating so dismal on Day 197.” President Trump regularly boasts about the stock market’s strong performance since his inauguration. What Trump hasn’t noted, however, is that Barack Obama and George H.W. Bush oversaw greater stock market expansion during their first six months in office, as judged by percentage growth of the S&P 500. As for the Russian investigation being over, Mr. Cardello, surely you must have been sipping the Kool-Aid or taking a page from Trump’s “alternative facts.” The New York Times three days ago, headlined “Mueller Seeks White House Documents Related to Trump’s Actions
Letters To TheVicari Editorthey will no longer take fullas President.” The article goes on to say, “The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Mueller’s investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trump’s behavior in the White House.” This article is dated Sept. 20, 2017, so the investigation is certainly not over even though Trump and Mr. Cardello wish it to be so. About food stamps (SNAP) you boasted that there are fewer people on food stamps. One can certainly state that there could be less people on food stamps because Trump cut the budget for eligible recipients. Nearly half of SNAP recipients are children. That’s 20 million kids – about 1 in 4 Americans under the age of 18. The 42 million Americans – 13 percent of the population – who currently receive SNAP benefits, which include low income families, the elderly (about 11 percent of SNAP recipients are seniors) people with disabilities, and those who have lost a job. They receive an average of about $4.17 per day, or $1.39 per meal. (from modernfarmer. com) Surely you cannot be proud of taking food out of their mouths. All in all, Mr. Cardello, I do not wish to be in your rising boat that purportedly lifts us all. Neither do I wish to be in the Trump one that is sinking. Rosemary Doherty Berkeley

Barnegat Meeting A Farce In case you missed the Barnegat Township Committee Meeting on Sept. 5, here’s some details. It was a complete farce…nothing more than a campaign-style “rally” meeting, a la Trump, where each of the committee members gave a stump speech promoting their “greatness.” I would, however, like to give them some credit on two issues which we in the township had been strongly and vociferously advocating for over the last 10-15 years. They finally listened to us and made some renovations to our public parks and, after all these years, the committee members announced that
time health benefits. On this last issue of the health benefits, I would like to highlight two relevant, somewhat hypocritical and misplaced comments made by our committee members at the meeting last Tuesday. Mr. Novak had the audacity to state that he is a “true public servant” because he is generously refusing to take these health benefits. Why didn’t he refuse them the last three years and also when he was on the committee several years ago? Mr. Bille, from the dais of our Township Committee meeting as mayor, inappropriately “thanked” their two candidates for refusing to take these health benefits. This ploy is purely a campaign strategy and should be seen as such. Campaign matters have no place at a Township Committee meeting. The last issue I wanted to discuss in this letter is one about which, our entire town is up-in-arms….the huge municipal tax increases we have experienced over the last 10-15 years – years in which both Mr. Cirulli and Mr. Novak served as mayor and/or Township Committee members and voted on all the budgets during their tenures. If we just take 2016 vs 2015 municipal taxes – they increased by $2.2 Million (10% year-over-year). Looking back on previous years we see the same irresponsible spending. Every year residents stand up and ask for answers to these unacceptable spending patterns and the Township Committee continues to dance around the issue. Well, I think it’s time for new voices in Barnegat and the only way we’ll get them is if you go to the ballot box and make it happen. We have had a one-party Township Committee in Barnegat for far too long and it’s time to make some changes. Vote on November 7. That’s the only way we can begin to affect change in Barnegat.

Macarthur Announces Ocean County Designated As High Drug Trafficking Area From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY –Congressman Tom MacArthur, Republican Chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, has announced that the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) has designated
TOMS RIVER – Ocean County Air port located off Route 530 in Berkeley Township has undergone numerous improvements since first being constructed in the 1960s. However, its focus remains the same, according to Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “The Ocean County Airport helps meet the aviation needs of the County and also serves as a hub for public safety providing a location at various times for aircraft for agencies like the state Forest Fire Service, the military, and state police to name a few. “We continue to make improvements to this facility because it’s a valuable asset to our County and our residents,” said Vicari, who serves as liaison to the airport. While the County completes work on a new eightunit t-hanger building at the airport, it is already reviewing the future needs of the airport unveiling improvement plans during a meeting of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Recently completed improvements include the second phase of obstruction removal, helipad lighting, and
Ocean County as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). Recently, Congressman Tom MacArthur led a letter to the ONDCP urging the addition of Ocean County to
the HIDTA program and has met with local, county, state and federal law enforcement officials to discuss the importance of the designation. Additionally, the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, which he co-chairs, successfully fought against drastic budget cuts to the ONDCP and the HIDTA program. This designation helps coordinate joint efforts among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, and
provides funds for resources needed to combat drug trafficking in problem areas. “Ocean County has been devastated by drug addiction,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “Last year, 190 Ocean County residents died from an overdose – that’s one death every 43 hours. Our local law enforcement officials are on the front lines of this fight and need help to get dealers off our streets and stop drugs from flowing into
our communities. This designation is critical for Ocean County and will ensure our police officers have the assistance and resources they need to save loved ones. I will continue to fight for our community and support local law enforcement in their effort to protect our neighborhoods and rid our streets of drugs and the criminals who profit from ruining people’s lives.” “Drug trafficking is a national problem that has to be

runway lighting. In addition, future projects include another 12-bay t-hanger building, apron expansion and rehabilitation and replacement of the rotating beacon. “This is part of an Airport Capital Improvement Program that extends to 2024,” Vicari said. He noted that an upcoming project includes rehabilitating most of the length of the main runway which is about 1 mile long. The project, expected to begin next spring and take 31 days to complete, costs about $3.2 million and the County has been approved for grants totaling $3 million. “The Federal Aviation Administration recommends resurfacing runways every 20 years,” Vicari said. Vicari noted that most of the work done at the airport is done with Federal Aviation Administration and state Department of Transportation grants. “Since 1990, the total cost of upgrades and improvement projects at the airport was $33,342,450,” Vicari said. “We received $27,199,133 in FAA and state Department of Transportation Grants, reducing the county’s contribution to $6.1 million.”
Another example, the County recently completed improvements to the main runway’s lighting system with mostly grant money. “We applied for federal funding for 90 percent of the cost of the replacement project and for state funding for five percent of the total cost,” Vicari said. The project cost was about $810,00 and the design work, funded also by federal and state grants was completed earlier in June. “The lighting improvements for the main runway improves safety for pilots coming into and leaving the airport,” Vicari said. “Whether it’s for public safety or to help our economic efforts, the Ocean County Airport is an important facility providing an integral service in Ocean County.” Vicari noted the new runway lighting system replaced a system that was more than 20 years old and had been scheduled for replacement. The project included the installation of high intensity runway/ threshold edge lights and high intensity flush mounted runway edge lights. Ocean County also completed in 2014 the Crosswind
Runway at the airport – the fi rst runway built in New Jersey in 30 years. The County received more than $7.7 million in grants from the FAA and the New Jersey Department of Transportation to construct the project. That project brought significant improvements to the airpark at a minimal cost to the County. “The crosswind runway which is about 3,400 feet provides a safer landing alternative for smaller aircraft during adverse wind conditions,” Vicari said. “The safety of the pilots using the airpark is of the utmost importance to this Board.”
“All of the improvements, whether it be the new hangers, lighting upgrades or the crosswind runway, all of these are consistent with the Airport Capital Improvement Program and the Pinelands Memorandum of Agreement,” Vicari said. “There are restrictions on development and land use by virtue of the airport’s location within a Pinelands Preservation Area and a Pinelands Forest Area. “It’s important to the County that we act as a good neighbor and make certain whatever we do at the airport is consistent with its location,” he said. “We are working in partnership
addressed on the local level, and adding these counties to the HIDTA program is a critical part of this effort,” said Richard Baum, Acting Director of National Drug Control Policy. “These new designations and the funding they will bring will help our federal, state, and local law enforcement officers work together to disrupt and dismantle the trafficking networks that are bringing drugs into our communities.”
with the fixed base operator and a host of other agencies to make sure the facility meets all regulations, is up to date and serves the public properly.” The Ocean County Airport covers 822 acres of the 955 acre Robert J. Miller Airpark in Berkeley Township. Its fixed base operator Ocean Aire offers complete support services for general and corporate aircraft. “The airport helps with our tourism efforts providing a premiere space for smaller planes for our visitors and residents,” Vicari said. “It also provides a central location for a host of public safety services.”

Keeping Your Ears In Good Shape
We all know that exercise is good for keeping our bodies in good shape. There is more and more evidence that exercising our ears is also good for keeping our hearing in good shape. A number of studies in the United States and abroad have demonstrated that individuals with hearing loss in both ears, who only use one hearing aid, tend to maintain or improve their ability to understand words in the ear with the hearing aid. The ear without the hearing aid tends to decline in word recognition ability. This decline is not a change in hearing sensitivity, but rather is a decline in the ability to process the complex speech signal simply through the lack of use. In my opinion, there are several reasons for this phenomenon: 1. The ear without the hearing aid is not being “exercised” very much and 2. The area of the brain involved in hearing is not being used and becomes less effective at
processing speech information. This gradual decline in speech recognition ability usually reverses itself once the ear gets more stimulation (normally through the use of a hearing aid). Research in England suggests this process of gradual improvement in speech understanding may take four to six weeks after the hearing aid fitting, and may continue for up to 12 weeks. What does this mean to someone with hearing loss? Over the past 10 years, the results of a number of studies suggests the following: 1. The longer a hearing loss is ignored, the greater effect. 2. The sooner a hearing loss is treated, the easier the adjustment. 3. In almost all cases, two hearing aids are better than one. Two hearing aids will keep both ears and both sides of the brain actively involved in hearing. 4. Improved hearing may take a little time and patience.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
How Magnesium Helps You Breathe And Be Happy
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Magnesium participates as a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in your body which comes as a surprise to people who think that FDA-approved medications hold a clinical edge over nutrients. Medications tend to steal the show, but I can’t name one drug that functions in 300 metabolic processes in your body. Not one! Even the National Institutes of Health says magnesium is necessary to help maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keep your heart rhythm steady, support a healthy immune and bronchial system and keep your bones strong so your hip doesn’t give out. According to a survey by the U.S. government 75 percent of American adults have a magnesium-deficient diet. That’s three out of four of you. It’s getting worse due to the massive coffee consumption because compounds in coffee are ‘drug muggers’ of magnesium. Human deficiencies occur more often because the soil is very deficient in magnesium, so the salad that grows in the soil isn’t soaking up as much mag as it used to back in the day! When you eat it, it’s not as nutritious. Magnesium levels impact one hugely important organ in your body, your heart! Everyone is so afraid of a heart attack and yet, I bet you don’t know that a low level of magnesium is associated with an increased level of C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP is a marker for type of inflammation and it’s a silent killer. High CRP levels are associated with heart disease.
Has anyone ever tested your RBC magnesium levels if you have asthma? The reason I ask is because low magnesium levels have long been associated with several adverse, dangerous lung conditions. Even a recent study confirmed how low levels of magnesium and vitamin D are associated with an increased incidence of severe breathing difficulties! Sadly, most patients are put on inhalers for their entire lifetime, without ever getting tested to see if low mag is contributing. A low magnesium level can damage your brain and mood. In my book, Headache Free, I provided research to show how magnesium can reduce headache frequency, while improving mood and restorative sleep. No surprise there… magnesium is needed to create dopamine, serotonin and other happy brain chemicals. But a very common mistake is taking the wrong form. You will need the kind of magnesium that actually gets into your brain, like the “threonate” form, as opposed to the laxative form of magnesium like “citrate” which slides through your colon. I have much more to share with you about magnesium’s role in women’s health, bone integrity and cardiovascular disease so I’m inviting you to my website (suzycohen.com) to sign up for my newsletter. When you do that, I’ll email the longer version of this article. You do need to read it because three out of four American’s are magnesium deficient, so if it’s not you, then three of your relatives are deficient and that means their heart and brain are at risk.

Apple:
The Southern Ocean Times, October 7, 2017, Page 17 ing apple slices with caramel topping as a fundraiser for their group. The apple pie contest featured 14 adult entries and 24 youth entries, 17 of which were from high school students, according to Cassandra Shank, a Lacey High School student and member of the National Honor Society. Resident Mike Adamski has served as a judge for the contest for over 15 years. He said he was up for the task again this year and didn’t find it daunting at all. “It is an acquired skill to judge these pies,” fellow judge Karl Metz said with a laugh. The event featured some special guest visitors, including Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno, Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari and two World War II veterans, Joseph Mittlesdorf, 94, USMC and Pete Dayvoge, 92, U.S. Army. The veterans were noted during the opening ceremonies of the event. Mayor Curatolo and members of the township committee joined Guadagno and Vicari on stage welcoming the attendees present. Curatolo said, “I’d be remiss if I did not thank our business community, which donates thousands of dollars worth of time and food products so our families can enjoy the day at no charge.” Curatolo noted that Walmart was a new sponsor with a number of local businesses that helped make the festival a success. The event also allowed for the showcasing of many township organizations such as its Chamber of Commerce, Republican and Democratic clubs, school district organizations and many more. Various vendors and township businesses were also present. “What makes me most proud as mayor is to see the broad participation we see throughout the town at every major event whether it be Fourth of July Fireworks, Lacey Fest or the Municipal Alliance 5K,” Curatolo said. “Our people are what make Lacey a great place to live, work and recreate,” Curatolo said. The mayor added that next year this event “will officially be re-branded to Lacey Fest so as to honor the history of both events.”
Continued From Page 1 Veronica Laureigh agreed, saying a strong factor in combining the two traditional events was the “extreme heat” felt during Lacey Day. The new date also drew more volunteers to support the joint activity. Curatolo added, “There is no shortage of volunteers that bring these events to such a high level each year. Some of those that merit mention are our Recreation Department, the Historical Society, the Police Department and Fire and First Aid squads t o o. C o m m i t t e e man Tim McDonald helped coordinate the event in his role as liaison to our Recreation Department.” “We’re hoping for about 2,000 people today. It looks like we have quite a crowd,” Township Recreation Director Jim Wioland said early in the day. The event retained the festive fall flavor of the Apple Festival within the large space of Gille Park where Lacey Day is held. The Apple Festival is traditionally held behind the Forked River Firehouse and Lacey Historical Society Museum off Route 9. Lacey Historical Society President Eleanor Ditton said gathering more volunteers to coordinate the Apple Festival was a factor but was happy to see so many turn out for the day’s event. She was also pleased that the tradition of showcasing the township’s history was still in place. Antoinette Kozlowski, a former Lacey resident who now lives in nearby Beachwood said, “I feel (combining the two events) will make it more fun.” She brought along her three daughters who, along with friends, donned colonial era attire provided by the Lacey Historical Society for a photo in front of a special backdrop created by members and set up for the occasion. Historical Society member Pat Perrini, a former seamstress in town, made the special outfits including a child’s version of a George Washington costume. “I made them in a year’s time from fabric provided by the organization. It is adding to the fun,” she said. Members of the Lacey Rotary Club once again assisted with food preparation which is a role they held for years during Lacey Day. This year, however, the local Rotarians did not have to work the grill. Instead they distributed hundreds of premade sandwiches that were donated by various businesses in the community. Interact Club members, the youth segment of the Rotary Club, featured –Photos by Bob Vosseller a table manned by Si- (Top) One of over 30 apple pies is seen on display and being erra Reilly, Stephanie readied for a taste test by judges during Apple Fest/Lacey Cucinello and Hailey Day on Sept. 30 in Gille Park.

Dixieland “Jass” Band, and they played an exciting, fiery kind of music that was unlike anything else on record at that time, and which the New York public had not heard before.

On October 11, one hundred years later, Dan Levinson’s Roof Garden “Jass” Band will showcase At the “Jass” Band Ball: A Centennial Celebration of Recorded Jazz taking audience members back to that historic moment in time and delighting senses with those very same sounds that exalted a war-weary nation and propelled it into a wild, hypnotic frenzy.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of september 30 - October 6
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Put several irons into the fire. There’s no reason to limit your progress when you are capable of handling multiple tasks this week. Your creative ideas may come to the forefront but you may need someone else’s aid to make it work. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Stick with what works. Don’t waste time worrying over areas and aspects that you find difficult when you can excel by simply doing what you do well. Be aware you will be the center of attention in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Speak from the heart. If you just say what you feel and don’t try to over think an issue, you’ll have no problem making a good impression in the week to come. Devote extra time to a hobby to provide a much-needed escape. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can’t have it both ways. This week both business and family may demand your attention and you’ll need to decide which has the greater priority. A close friend could be counted on to come through for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get emotionally involved. Someone’s irrational behavior may have you ready to lose your cool this week, but if you can keep your temper in check the solution should become clear. Maintain an objective view of everything. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A good chess player anticipates his next move. Make decisions carefully in the week ahead, keeping in mind future events could have an impact on whatever choice
you make. Create a pleasant environment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Build it to last. As this week unfolds, when you make a commitment to something your word should be as good as gold. Avoid just telling someone what they want to hear as no one will benefit in the long run. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Conventional wisdom may not apply. You may not get to the bottom of a problem unless you come up with a creative solution. Put good ideas to work this week, as they’ll do little good stuck in your head. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Share your thoughts. You may find satisfaction by expressing yourself through creative or artistic outlets this week. Others may gain insight into what makes you tick when you engage them in deep, meaningful discussions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put your own spin on it. While someone else’s methods may not work for you, there may be certain aspects of their ideas that you can put to good use. Don’t be too quick to make a final judgment this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Give a loved one a long leash. Give someone near and dear the space to do what they want in the week ahead. Making too many demands could result in a rebellion. A dream may not be too far-fetched. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): March to your own beat. What works for everyone else may not work for you this week. Follow your instincts and intuition. Others may mean well, but the advice you receive could steer you in the wrong direction.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen When Is A Schnitzel Not A Wiener Schnitzel? When You Make It Holstein-Style! By Wolfgang Puck
Food lovers talk a lot about “secret menus” at their favorite restaurants (usually fast-food places) that clue people in on all sorts of special variations they order - only if they know about them. But even at fi ne restaurants, like my original Spago in Beverly Hills, there are secret items that anyone with the inside knowledge can ask for. One of the biggest secrets is the fact that, whether it happens to be on the day’s menu or not, you can get a Wiener schnitzel, the thin, crisply breaded and deep-fried veal cutlet that’s a specialty of Austria’s capital, Vienna (or Wien in my native language). I find it interesting, though, when people refer to the dish simply as a schnitzel, because that word is too broad to refer to the Viennese favorite alone. When translated, schnitzel means “little slice.” And in meaning it’s no different from the most common English equivalent: “cutlet.” Like cutlets, schnitzels can be made from a wide variety of meats beyond veal, including pork, chicken and turkey; in fact, growing up, my mother and grandmother usually made them for us with pork, far less expensive than veal. The variety doesn’t end there, either. There are also so many different styles of schnitzel recipes across Austria and Germany. Depending on the restaurant and the region, you might find dishes like zigeuner (gypsy-style) schnitzel sauteed with tomatoes, peppers, and onions; Munchner (Munich-style) schnitzel lightly spread with horseradish or mustard underneath its breadcrumb coating; Jager (hunter-style) schnitzel, smaller slices sauteed and served with a woodland mushroom sauce; and so many more. One of my favorite schnitzels, however, is a Holsteiner version. It was first created in a Berlin restaurant in the late 19th century for an important customer, German statesman Friedrich von Holstein. It appears he liked rich, piquant flavors, for his schnitzel was first lightly floured and then sauteed in both butter and oil; then, the pan drippings were transformed into a sauce with chicken stock, concentrated veal stock (for which I substitute a little barbecue sauce), lemon juice and capers; and fi nally served topped with a fried egg and garnish of anchovy fillets (which you can certainly omit if you aren’t a fan). I know this may all seem unusual at first. But think about it and you might suddenly realize that your mouth begins to water. Mine does. It’s a delicious combination of flavors. It’s also much easier to make than a Wiener schnitzel, requiring no deep frying. I haven’t yet added it to any secret menus in my restaurants. But you never know...

4 boneless slices veal or pork cut from the leg
or loin, each 6 to 7 ounces (185 to 215 g) 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper About 3/4 cup (185 mL) vegetable oil 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 4 large eggs 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality low-sodium store-bought chicken stock or broth 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 1/2 tablespoons good-quality bottled barbecue sauce 2 tablespoons drained capers 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley 16 anchovy fillets, patted dry with paper towels, optional First, pound and flatten the meat: Place a veal or pork slice in a large, heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Close the bag loosely. With the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the meat to a thin, even cutlet about 1/8-inch (3-mm) thick. Repeat with the remaining meat. Spread the flour on a large plate. Working with one cutlet at a time, season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides of each cutlet in flour, coating completely and then tapping off excess flour. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 F (150 C). Place a rack on a large rimmed baking sheet. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter. With tongs, add a cutlet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook the other side. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Cook the remaining 3 cutlets the same way, using a little more oil and butter as needed. When you’ve finished cooking the meat, fry the eggs. Heat the remaining oil and all but 4 tablespoons of the remaining butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, swirling to blend. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper. When the butter foams, break each egg one at a time into a bowl and then slide it into the pan, spacing them apart. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 2 to 3 minutes, basting the tops of the eggs with the hot butter and oil as they cook. Meanwhile, pour off and discard the fat from the skillet in which you cooked the cutlets. Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat and add the chicken stock, lemon juice and barbecue sauce, whisking to deglaze the pan deposits. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the capers and season to taste with pepper. Swirl in the parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat. To serve, transfer the cutlets to individual serving plates. Top each with a fried egg, including some butter from the pan. Spoon the pan sauce and capers over and around each serving. Arrange the anchovies on top. Serve immediately.
