Hotel And High-End Condos Coming To Long Beach Island By Kimberly Bosco SHIP BOTTOM – Once you cross over the bridge onto Long Beach Island, the construction projects are hard to miss. The building going on in the heart of Ship Bottom is not only going to add new vacation destinations to the island, but they will also revitalize and evolve the area, according to Mayor William Huelsenbeck. The first thing you see once you exit the Causeway and arrive in Ship Bottom is the construction of the soon-to-be Hotel LBI. Where The Stateroom hotel and wedding venue used to sit will now be a 105-room, Victorian style hotel. “In some ways, it is changing… In other ways, we are renewing

the old, restoring what we once had,” stated Huelsenbeck back in May. The owner of this property is Christopher Vernon, owner of three other large properties in the area, including The Bonnett Island Estate, Mallard Island, and The Mainland at The Holiday Inn. The property is located on West 8 th Street and extends its domain slightly to West 9th Street. Residents and beach-goers can expect to see a 105-room hotel with a banquet hall, lounge restaurant and bar, and an indoor swimming pool, according to township records. Not only this, but it is also going to be the tallest building on the (Island - See Page 5)

Condominiums A little down the way, we will soon see two, three-story apartment buildings. These are located at 101–107 West 9th Street, surrounded by 9th Street to the South, Long Beach Boulevard to the East, 8th Street to the North and Central Avenue to the West. Shore Prospects, LLC made an application to the Land Use Review Board for the construction of the two buildings, each housing 12 apartments, for a total of 24 apartments with a courtyard and a pool, according to a resolution. The new apartment complex will be coined The Arlington Beach Club. The site sits on 1 acre of property, which used to be an Exxon gas station. The site has since been renovated and the underground tanks removed to accommodate the new structure. Construction broke ground in January and is expected to be completed by November of this year. The proposed units will each have three bedrooms, two baths, and their own personal deck, according to property developer and owner Nick Garofolo. “These are not your ordinary condos,” said Garofolo. The complex will also include an adult only hot

tub area and a 35 x 35 pool with a tiki bar area, storage units and men’s and women’s locker rooms. The complex with be separated by a courtyard as well as have barbeque areas and elegant landscaping. Garofolo noted that the look of this building is meant to be a throwback to the old Jersey Shore, with white trimmings and a very elegant design. In a central location on the boulevard near both Surf City and Ship Bottom, the condos will provide easy access to the beach, as well as shopping, restaurants, and night life. Garofolo also said that there will be parking located underneath the raised building. Some 24 parking spaces will be under the building while 32 parking spots are proposed on the exterior. Garofolo wants the Arlington Beach Club to have a high-end feel and be a place for those desiring a long-stay vacation. Unit rentals are limited to one month minimum, he said. Prices are not yet figured, he added, but the units are expected to be for sale sometime in July. Both additions to commercial Ship Bottom will have limited access points and are not expected to have significant impacts on surrounding traffic, according to officials.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Family Time And Family Entertainment My generation - granted it’s a while back - would sit together enjoying shows like M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, Dick Van Dyke, etc. I realize that life changes but is it really for the better? When one turns on the TV and sees so many killing shows, on a Saturday morning no less, when kids are looking for cartoons or wholesome shows - is it any wonder that teenagers are running around with weapons? Family life is not what it used to be and I surely see that, but life in America is no way better than it used to be. A few younger people have said to me “this isn’t the 50s” – you’re darn right - that’s why we were called the greatest generation and

I was privileged to marry and raise my children during that time. We sat as a family every night at 6 and ate together. Sure, some of us had other things to do after dinner but that was that one meal of the day we ate together and I’m so glad now we did. And so, as I reflect on the past and look around the world I have to wonder what are other countries/islands doing better than we are? If I were raising children today, there would be no phones on the dinner table. Families, just talk to each other before our current civilization is wiped out and I’m not kidding.

Freeholder Parts Ways With Republican Party After my commitment to the Republican Party, I find that the direction of t h e p a r t y i n M o n mouth Cou nt y is one I can no longer follow. I filed a petition to run for re-election as your Monmouth County Freeholder as an Independent. I didn’t leave the County Re pu bl ic a n Pa r t y, t h e County Republican Party left me. To qualify for the November ballot, the law requires that I have 100 sig nat u res on my pe tition. I f iled my petitions with more than 450 s ig n a t u r e s . T h e Mo n mouth County Republican boss Shaun Golden wa s s o u p s e t w it h my decision to run as an Independent that he filed a formal challenge to my petition with the Monmouth Cou nt y Clerk. T his Cou nt y Clerk, by the way, is also the Monmouth County Republican Vice Chair. Imagine that! Can you say conf lict of interest? Now here is the funny par t: Republican Par t y boss Golden was so incompetent that he challenged less than 200 of t he 450 -plus sig nat u re on my petitions. So, even i f G old e n wo n a l l h i s challenges, I would still have 250 valid signatures on my petition when only 100 are required by law. In the end, the Clerk only dismissed 133 signatures so I easily qualified to be on the ballot in November as an Independent. I than k each and ever y person who sig ned up to support me and I look forward to meeting many more residents of Monmouth County as I campaign to be the first Independent elected to t he Mon mout h Cou nt y Board Of Chosen Free-

MacArthur Fights Drug Crisis As the mother of a recent high school graduate, I am constantly trying to keep up with the changing trends of teenagers. Whether it is the newest social media app, YouTube video, or slang term that has become a regular part of my child’s vocabular y, each d ay br i ngs new i n for mat ion a s to how our children interact w it h t he world a rou nd them and how as parents, we can remain engaged and informed about how to keep our kids safe.

I n 2 018 , m o r e t h a n 2 million Americans will suf fer f rom opioid addiction. It is imperative that our elected officials work together with law enforcement to get these drugs off of our streets, and away from our kids.

Remembering The Good Old Days C a n a nyo n e r e m e m ber a t i me when you could leave your house u n locked 24 -7 a nd not worry? Ever get bumped by some one wh i le out du r ing the holidays and the person actually t u r ned arou nd to say “Excuse me.” Ca n you remember holding a door open for a stranger and them than k i ng you for it? Well, I can, and how times have changed. I remember when everyone stood for the national anthem with hand over heart. I remember when everyone you knew or spoke to was a patriot and respected our f lag. I remember when Civics was taught in school so we could learn about our f lag, ou r C on st it ut ion and our rights. I remember people spoke the truth without being politically correct. Remember when immigrants had to register and get vaccinated at Ellis Island when entering our great land. I remember when the people’s candidate won an election. They celebrated and those whose candidate lost dealt with it u nt i l n e x t ele c t io n . Not resist, name call and point fingers. Remember a congress that did what the people elected them to do? Take care of us and most importantly, protect us. Not

I can remember when the safety and security of our nation was f irst priority for a president or polit icia n. We have p e ople i n ou r c ou nt r y today illegally that are career criminals or gang members. We have polit icia n s t o d ay lo ok i ng to protect a nd prov ide them sanctuar y. Isn’t it the responsibility of all politicians and non-polit icia n s we ele ct f rom either side of the aisle, to look out for the safety and well-being of the law abiding citizens of our nation? I ask, how did this great country of ours get in the mess it’s in today? Ha s ou r nat ion been sold out from beneath us by spineless past presidents? Or was it on the backs of spineless past politicians? I remember presidents that did what was best for our nation. They always thought of us first. I remember when presidents showed strength, courage and stayed true to their word. I remember when they made us proud. They stood up for us agai nst other cou nt r ies and ou r enem ies. They didn’t draw artificial lines in the sand and then turn their back and walk away. I remember the presid e nt s a n d p ol it ic i a n s who had spines; they are the ones who made our nation great. I remember the presidents and politicians who we re spi ne -le ss, t hose just took away from our nation’s greatness. Does anyone else remember? Joseph Flannery Jr. Jackson

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. – Over the past two weeks the House of Representatives has passed more than 50 bipartisan bills to address all aspects of the opioid crisis. These bills addressed specific ways to improve public policy to provide better treatment and re-

covery, step up drug abuse prevention efforts, protect communities by giving law enforcement the tools they need, and target the scourge of synthetic opioids like fentanyl that are driving this crisis. This package included Congressman Tom MacAr-

WASH I NGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Bob Menendez, a senior memb e r of t h e S e n a t e Fi n a nc e C om m it t e e t h at s e t s n a t io n a l t a x p ol i c y a n d t h e a u t h o r of leg islat ion i n t he U.S. Senate to f ully restore the State and Local Tax Deduction (SALT), and C o r y B o o ke r, a s wel l as Cong ressman Fran k Pallone, Jr. (D-6 th), stood with Springf ield Mayor Richard Huber and local residents as the federal law makers conti nue to fight Trump Administration efforts to harm New Jersey taxpayers. The senators are leading the New Jersey Cong ressional delegation’s response to the recent announcement by the Inter-

nal Revenue Service that it intends to issue new rules to effectively block New Jersey’s effor ts to protect its t axpayers f rom the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’s $10,000 cap on SALT deductions, resulting in the double-taxing of up to 1.8 million, or 40 percent of New Jersey taxpayers. “ T he Tr u mp Ad m i nist ration has it out for Ne w Je r s e y. No o t h e r state was hit harder by t h e Tr u m p Ta x Pl a n ,” said Sen. Menendez. “By gutting the property tax deduction, Republicans have capped the r ights of states to set their own tax policies and protect hardworking people from getting taxed twice. And now, the Trump Admin-

House Passes Sweeping Bipartisan Bill To Combat Addiction thur’s (R-3 rd ) bipartisan bills, the SENIOR Communities Protection Act and the STOP Fentanyl Deaths Act, as well as five bills that were top Task Force priorities, and 30 that were authored by a member of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force. Co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, Rep. Tom MacArthur, released the following statement on passage of H.R. 6 the Sub-

stance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act: “As co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, I have been focused on work i ng w it h my c olleagues to improve prevention, treatment, and enforcement efforts. I am encouraged that so many of our task force members

had legislation included in the fi nal package that passed the House. It is amazing how much we can accomplish when we put politics aside and work together on the issues facing our nation. I am hopeful that the Senate will act on this legislation, which will save lives. The inclusion of the SENIOR Communities Protection Act will allow Medicare Part D the ability

to suspend payments to a pharmacy that is under investigation for fraud, protects Medicare dollars for the seniors who rely on them, and will help stop the dumping of drugs into our communities. And the inclusion of the STOP Fentanyl Deaths Act will help local health professionals and law enforcement detect fentanyl and other synthetic drugs.”

New IRS Rules Will Hurt NJ Taxpayers istration has weaponized the IRS to go after New Jersey for something that 32 states already do. It’s wrong. It’s un-American. And we’re not going to take it.” “The disastrous Trump Tax Plan (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) was a massive giveaway to big corporations and the wealthiest A me r ic a n s , at t he expense of everyone else,” Sen. Booker said. “Now, the Tr ump Administration continues to target hard-hit New Jersey families by undermining our state’s efforts to provide rel ief t o t a xpaye r s affected by the tax plan’s unfair cap on deduct ion s for st at e i ncome and local property taxes. Hardworking New Jersey families deser ve better than punitive, politically- d r iven policies li ke this and I will continue to fight every step of the way.” “ T h e G OP Ta x L aw gives massive tax breaks to the wealthy and multinational cor porations while jeopardizing programs like Medicare that mean so much to working families,” said Rep. Pallone. “T he I RS should not st a nd agai nst New

Je r sey’s com mon se n se proposal to provide New Jerseyans relief f rom the scam’s most unfair provisions.” Governor Phil Murphy r e c e nt ly sig n e d leg i s l a t io n t o m it ig a t e t h e impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, allowing t axpayers to donate to a charitable fund established by their municipality, county, or school d i s t r ic t . I n r e t u r n fo r their donation, the taxpayer receives a credit on their property tax bill of up to 90 percent of the donation. Taxpayers wou ld t he n b e able t o claim their donation as a charitable deduction on their federal income tax ret u r n , pre se r v i ng t he deduction homeow ners enjoyed for t he more than 100 years since the federal income tax was instituted in 1913. “While this is the first time New Jersey is und e r t a k i n g s u ch a n effor t, the concept of inc e nt iv i z i ng ch a r it a ble contributions with state t ax benef its, including c red it s, ha s long been found by the IRS to be a cce pt able,” t he let t e r continued. “Indeed, in an IRS Chief Counsel Advi-

sory memo published in 2011, the IRS cited various case law to support the conclusion that any state or local tax benefit r e c eive d by t he donor should not be considered i n c o m e o r a t h i n g of value. Rather, the memo concludes that a state or local t ax credit should be treated as a reduction in tax liability, and thus shou ld not r e d u c e t he value of the federal charitable deduction.” Sens. Menendez’s and B o o k e r ’s r e s p o n s e t o the IRS was open to the entire bipartisan delegation. The letter was cosigned by Reps. Pallone, Donald Norcross ( N.J.01) , J o s h G o t t h e i m e r ( N. J.- 05), A lbio Si r e s (N.J.-08), Bill Pascrell, J r. ( N .

After two different versions passed the House and Senate, Sen. Me n e n d e z w a s n a m e d by Senate Democrats to t he Ta x Con ference Committee to defend deductions essential to New Jerseyans.

Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Buying A Hearing Aid Is So Confusing

Is it really possible to simplify the purchase of a hearing aid? The answer is, probably maybe. In fact, there is so much advertising of product A through Z that I believe many potential hearing aid wearers are too confused to take the next step. Which manufacturers make the best hearing aids? In my opinion, the major players include Phonak, Widex, Sonic Innovations, GN Resound, Starkey, Siemens and Oticon. These manufacturers are focusing their research on digital technology in an attempt to improve speech understanding in background noise. Digital hearing aids are recommended for the active individual who can afford the technology. Digital hearing aids work best as a pair, or binaural set, to provide hearing balance. The minimal

cost of low level digitals is around $2,000 and higher end digitals can cost up to $6,500 for a pair. Make sure you have a trial period to evaluate the benefits of any hearing aid. Trial periods will range from 30 to 60 days. Professional service fees (i.e., non-refundable) should only apply if you return the hearing aid(s) for refund. The hearing health care professional needs to account for his/her time and in many cases, will spend four to five hours with a patient during the specified trial period. Dr. Izzy recommends that if you are not satisfied with the performance of the first hearing aid, try a different aid from another manufacturer with possibly different technology. The worst thing you can do is to “walk out with the same hearing problem” that you walked in with.

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!

Tick Awareness Month: Tick-Borne Diseases OCEAN COUNTY – Tick-borne diseases are not spread between two people, but rather rely on ticks for transmission. All ticks have the potential to carry disease. Each life stage of tick has only one blood meal so they can molt and for reproduction. They do not drop off and bite again. They stay attached and feed until they are full. An engorged tick looks like a little balloon filled with blood. Larvae, nymphs and female adults can engorge. While male adult ticks feed, they can’t engorge and therefore are usually not attached long enough for transmission. One exception is the male American Dog tick and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) Most tick-borne diseases are carried in the tick’s digestive system and are transmitted by nymph and adult ticks inserting their mouthparts and feeding on a host. The minimum amount of feeding time for disease transmission varies depending on the disease: RMSF- 10-20 hrs.; Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis- 24 hrs.; Lyme Disease- 36-48 hrs. Transmission times for tularemia, and tick paralysis are unknown. Ticks we have here in NJ and the diseases they could carry. At this time, STARI and heartland Virus are not a problem here in NJ. Symptoms of tick-borne diseases are somewhat similar and though not always present, may include skin rash, general

tiredness, fever and/or chills, headache, stiff neck, muscle aches, joint pain, dizziness. It is important to watch for symptoms and talk to your health-care provider. Early treatment can be very effective. In 2016 within Ocean County, the NJ Health Department reported 274 cases of Lyme disease, 25 cases of Babesiosis, 11 cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and 17 cases of Ehrlichiosis. POW is not a common disease for us in Ocean County. For more detailed information on potential tick-borne diseases and safety, please consult the following web sites: Rutgers Fact Sheet: njaes.rutgers.edu/tick/ New Jersey Department of Health Communicable Disease Service: nj.gov/health/cd Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) : cdc.gov/ticks/diseases You may have heard about people who can no longer eat red meat. This is not a disease, but an allergic reaction to an alpha-gal protein found in the saliva of a lone star tick and is in red meat (some medications may contain alpha-gal). Some people develop anti-bodies to this alpha-gal protein, which in turn can cause an allergic reaction (hives, trouble breathing, etc.) 3-6 hours after eating red meat. Does that mean you can never eat meat again? Not necessarily, but as some reactions can be severe, consult a medical professional if you have questions.

Handling Menopause And Andropause As A Couple By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

As we age, we notice symptoms creeping up every few months. With women, it’s called menopause and includes many symptoms such as fatigue, forgetfulness, hot flashes, vaginal discomfort or atrophy, decreased libido, irritability and insomnia. Menopause can be surgically induced, as occurs when you get a total hysterectomy. With men, it’s termed andropause and the symptoms include reduced fatigue, sex drive, weak erections, depression, loss of strength and muscle mass, weight gain as well as occasional night sweats akin to a woman’s hot flash. You might find that you’re less competitive than normal. In the news recently, there have been some interesting findings reported from brand new studies. The first that comes to mind is about post-menopausal women and how they have an elevated risk for heart failure or coronary heart disease, if they have have higher testosterone levels compared to estradiol (an estrogen hormone). What about your brain and mood? For sure, psychological symptoms are one of the first (and worst) things noticed by men and women during menopause and andropause. You might think you’re going crazy, and so might those around you. It differs for everyone, and new research suggests that if you’ve been struggling with mental health issues prior to menopause/andropause, they are bound to get worse. In particular, symptoms such as panic attacks and suicidal ideation seem to heighten, and it’s much harder to deal with

than typical annoyances such as depression, irritability, mood swings, insomnia and memory loss. The CDC found that the rate of women committing suicide has been on the rise since the year 2000, it’s up by 50 percent and the average age is between 45 and 64. I have to wonder how many of these people were brought to the brink from the use of mind-bending anxiolytics or antidepressants that are thought to impair otherwise good judgement and possibly raise risk of suicide. It brings to mind fashionista Kate Spade and TV chef Anthony Bourdain, both of whom were taking anti-anxiety medications. They impact your brain and sometimes in a good way, but also in a bad way due to unexpected side effects. Today, I’d like to offer a few tips that could help you, as a couple, age more comfortably together, and minimize the problems that drive people to doctors, or worse, to psychiatrists who numb you with addictive medications. Here are eight ideas to get your hormones balanced: 1. Manage stressful situations 2. Avoid estrogenic chemicals 3. Maintain a healthy sex life 4. Watch what you eat 5. Exercise 6. Actually, sleep at night 7. Get enough rest 8. Aswhagandha If you’d like to read the extended, more comprehensive version of my article, please sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Council Fees

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert Shea, III, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved ones passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a contest arises, understanding how legal fees could impact Estate assets is critical to know. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed, and parties to the Will challenge its contents, the Executor of an Estate may use Estate assets to defend any challenges. So long as the challenge to the Will is a challenge to its validity, interpretation, distribution, or specific clauses, then an Executor may hire an attorney to defend the Estate. Any counsel fees incurred in defending against such challenges to the Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution, would not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, these fees are payable to the Estate. However, when an Executor begins defending claims against non-probate assets, the circumstances change, and certain limitations apply. Probate assets are any assets that are owned solely by the decedent, and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets can include the following: real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset which

does not “pass” through the Decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets can include the following: property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. 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, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Fluke Season Remains Steady

By Jim Hutchinson Sr. The black sea bass season is temp or a r i ly clo s e d , but f lu ke f i sh i ng action continues to remain steady for the boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association. A few bluefish are around the inlets, and offshore reports are very good for both yellowfin and bluefin tuna. Sharks are also making their presence known offshore. Captain Gary Dugan of “Irish Jig” Sportfishing reports steady fishing on f luke with catches ranging from 15-25 with averages of 2-5 keepers. He plans to start fishing more in the ocean on local reef sites and lumps. He has been finding good numbers of big blackfish that have to be released as they are not yet in season. Captain Carl Sheppard reports he has been running family trips on the “Star Fish” of up to 12 anglers on mostly half-day trips. His groups have been averaging 25 fish per trip. On one recent

inshore trip Captain Carl had bluefin tuna breaking water around the boat, but he was unable to coax any to his lines. Captain Brett Taylor of “Reel Reaction” Sportf ishing reports a def inite improvement in his fishing trips over the past few days. As the water temperatures have warmed, the slime grass on the bottom is leaving, making f luke drifting much easier. Weather conditions made fishing touch recently for Ian Habich and his wife Tracey. Using the S&S Bigeye, they managed to put 3 keeper f luke in the box up to 5.5 pounds along with a catch and release short striper. The finished the day with 3-6 pound bluefish caught in the inlet. The class of 2018 of the Junior Mates Program has begun, at the NJ Maritime Museum on Dock Road in Beach Haven. Families of interested youngsters ages 12 and up are invited to visit BHCFA.net for further information on the Junior Mates and the BHCFA.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 30 - JUly 6

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You may yearn for someone’s kindhearted ministrations as you endure frustrations in the week ahead. Menial tasks and repetitive chores may prevent you from enjoying fun with your friends and loved ones. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A lack of restraint when it comes to spending money or making promises can place you in the doghouse. In the week ahead, you may find that people are more critical and exacting, so it is necessary to be discreet. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might not be able to trust everything you hear in the week ahead. Your partner may sugarcoat a problem or co-workers could promise more than they can deliver. It may be up to you to offer up some tough love. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be torn two ways as this week unfolds. One part of you wants to spoil the kids or lavish money on hobbies, but your other side wants to save up money for a rainy day. It is better to be safe than sorry. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes being selfish and self-centered about how you delegate your time is in your best interest. In the week ahead people may consider you a killjoy because you are focused on achievement rather than merriment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be great at business decisions, but personal extravagances can cancel out your gains. As this week unfolds you will find it is better for your bottom line to focus on making money rather than spending money.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sugar and spice and everything nice just won’t cut the mustard. Your casual assurances may be held up to scrutiny in the week ahead. You may go overboard with spending or be attracted to something ostentatious. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put your latest greatest plans on hold. You may have the best intentions and the shrewdest ideas but whatever you begin in the upcoming week might run into unexpected obstacles. Avoid making casual promises. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your naturally generous nature may be limited to spending time rather than money on others. You may be happy to socialize and offer referrals but24 being thrifty with money may be a prime consideration this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Adversity doesn’t just test character, it reveals it. In the week ahead, you will need all the grit and determination you can muster to deal with a busy schedule. Use your street smarts to navigate tricky situations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Loved ones could make demands and expect you to obey commands. In the week ahead, you might find that someone’s heavy work load requires you to offer unquestioning support. Your loyalty will be rewarded. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Work hard to reach your goals in the upcoming week. Don’t be discouraged by minor setbacks. Frivolous pastimes may lighten up the office environment, but the boss may express disapproval if time is wasted.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Breeze: This Recipe Is As Easy And Flexible As A Summer Day By Wolfgang Puck The summer solstice, on June 21, 2018, marks the sun’s annual arrival at its highest point in the sky and is the beginning of the most leisurely days of the year for most people. Most children are off from school, and many families plan vacations. We enjoy days by the pool or at the beach and take meals outdoors with picnics or cookouts. Those seasonal meals, of course, can directly impact our summertime fun in and around the water. Indulge too much, and you won’t feel as comfortable in your swimsuit. With that in mind, many people - me included - look for grilling recipes that are not only delicious but also light and healthy. Skinless, boneless chicken pieces often come to mind, since much of the fat in chicken comes from the skin and boneless meat is simply quicker and more convenient to cook and eat outdoors. Eliminating the skin and bones from chicken, however, also eliminates the two main elements that help keep chicken juicy, especially when cooked by the intense direct heat of a grill. In my own continuing attempts to eat lighter, leaner food, I’ve found some good ways to keep grilled chicken moist and flavorful. One of my favorite tricks is to marinate chicken in a spicy mixture based on nonfat yogurt, a variation on the whole-milk yogurt marinades used in India’s tandoori cooking. Combining the yogurt with garlic, ginger, scallions, toasted spices, red pepper flakes and a mellow-sweet touch of honey gives the meat a wonderfully aromatic flavor; and the moisture the chicken absorbs from the yogurt keeps it from drying out. (Take care, though, not to marinate the chicken too long, or the lactic acid in the yogurt may turn the meat mushy.) To add even more flavor to every bite, I serve the chicken with my own version of freshly made chutney (one of the many different sweet-andspicy condiments that go by that name in Indian cooking). This one consists of fresh mango combined with brown sugar, vinegar, fresh ginger, fresh chile pepper, onion and garlic in a complex yet harmonious blend. It all adds up to one of my favorite ways to deliver big flavors that satisfy while helping to keep you healthy. Better still, the recipe is wonderfully versatile. You can substitute turkey or lean pork for the chicken, and swap in fresh pineapple or summer stone fruit like peaches, nectarines, apricots or plums for the mango. I also enjoy making a main-dish salad by sliding the cooked meat off the skewers onto beds of mixed greens or baby spinach leaves, then drizzling a dressing made by combining the chutney with some plain nonfat yogurt. TANDOORI-STYLE CHICKEN KEBABS WITH FRESH MANGO-GINGER CHUTNEY Serves 4 For the mango-ginger chutney: 3/4 teaspoon peanut oil 1/2 medium red onion, diced 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 jalapeno chile, finely chopped 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 strip lemon zest, 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide by 3

inches (7.5 cm) long 3/4 teaspoon dark brown sugar 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice Grated zest of 1/2 orange Juice of 1/2 orange For the chicken kebabs: 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) boneless skinless chicken pieces, white or dark meat or a combination 3/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds 3/4 teaspoon whole coriander seeds 1 cup (250 mL) nonfat plain yogurt 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 cup (60 mL) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves For the mango-ginger chutney, heat the peanut oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion, and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, jalapeno, ginger, lemon zest and brown sugar. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has melted completely and begins to turn syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Carefully stir in the vinegar; cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the mango, orange zest and juice; cook, stirring frequently, until thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chutney to a stainless-steel or glass bowl, and leave it at room temperature until cooled. Transfer the cooled chutney to a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, and pulse until coarsely pureed. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. For the chicken kebabs, place 8 bamboo or wooden skewers in a shallow dish; add cold water to cover, and leave to soak for about 1 hour; then drain well. (Alternatively, use metal skewers, skipping the soaking.) Cut the chicken into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks, and thread them on the skewers. Arrange the skewers in a shallow, nonreactive dish. In a small dry skillet, toast the cumin and coriander seeds over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, just until fragrant and slightly darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a heatproof dish to cool. Put the cooled toasted seeds in a blender with the yogurt, honey, scallion, ginger, garlic, black pepper, salt and red pepper flakes. Blend thoroughly. Add the cilantro leaves, and process until pureed and thoroughly blended. Pour this marinade over the skewers, turning them to coat the chicken evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate no longer than 2 hours. To cook the kebabs, preheat a grill. Remove the kebabs from the marinade, shaking off excess; discard the marinade. Season the kebabs to taste with salt. Grill until the chicken is golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total. Serve the kebabs on a platter or individual plates, passing the chutney alongside at the table. Reserve any extra chutney for another use.
