By Patricia A. Miller BAYVILLE – William Cheamlin was only 36 when he died on Dec. 18, 1759. And his pale gray tombstone - the oldest that exists in Berkeley Township - can still be seen at the Historical Society building on Route 9 in Bayville. Ironically, whoever carved the tombstone spelled the man’s last name wrong. His last name was actually Chamberlin, said historical society president Jerr y Beer. His tombstone is just one of many Berkeley historical items on display in the two-story building, right next to the township recreation department. Beer, the president of the Historical Society this year, is hoping that more residents will think about joining the non-profit organization. The society officially has about 105 families, or roughly 125 members, and Beer is grateful for all of them. But the society needs more members, to help with displays, maintenance and education, he said. “All we need are more that are willing to come in and do stuff,” said Beer said. The museum is housed in the oldest –Photos by Patricia A. Miller public building in the township. It served The old museum is itself an artifact, holding remnants of (Past - See Page 4) Berkeley’s first years.
Berkeley Deals With Leaking Oil Tanks
By Patricia A. Miller BERKELEY TOWNSHIP – Township Council members have signed a consent order to remove several defunct underground storage tanks from the Public Works Department across from Town Hall on Pinewald-Keswick Road. Officials unanimously approved the consent order for the tanks’ removal at the Feb. 25 Township Council meeting. The state Department of Environmental Protection recently notified the township that the two, 3,000-gallon tanks used to store heating oil had to go and at first fined Berkeley a $15,000 penalty. “They haven’t been used in years,” Township Administrator John Camera said after the meeting. “They got lost in the shuffle. It goes back a little while. The tanks are essentially empty. They were abandoned when the township switched over to natural gas.” The penalty has already been cut in half, to $7,500, he said. “The tanks are stored at the Public Works Department across the street from Town Hall,” he said. “Berkeley has already begun making arrangements to have them removed.

Polar Bear Plunge: Freezin’ For A Good Reason By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Each February, the Polar Bear Plunge tests the resolve of thousands of brave plungers from around the Garden State.

That cause was the Special Olympics New Jersey. The plunge site (Polar Bear - See Page 5)

Amato Jr. said plans for the 2019 summer concert season are ready to go. All of the concerts will be held on Wednesdays, beginning at 6 p.m. at Veterans Park in Bayville. The first concert begins on June 26, with Rock ‘n Rhythm and Garden State Radio, the mayor said. On July 10, performers include Gerard Esposito, who will perform songs from the Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka and Bobby Darin era. The Duprees will also perform. Concerts for the remainder of the summer will include the doo wop band, Sounds of the Street, and the Ultimate Chicago Band. The party band Alotta Colada will perform at the White Sands Beach party in South Seaside Park on July 31. The beach

Continued From Page 1 as Berkeley’s municipal building for many years, until the municipal complex on Pinewald-Keswick Road opened in the mid-70s. The name “Town Hall” is still emblazoned on the front of the building, which is located at 630 Route 9. The building was also used as the township’s first police department. But the aging building needs work. Some of the basement windows don’t close properly, which leads to water damage. And it’s been years since the building was painted. The Historical Society does not own the building, the township does. So Beer is hopeful that perhaps officials can step up and help with the repairs. Berkeley was born from a portion of Do-
party will run from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Amato said. The Infernos will sing four decades of music at the township’s 20th annual “Night Out Against Crime” on Aug. 7. That event will begin at 5:30 p.m. Julian and Dominque and Wanted DOA, a Bon Jovi tribute band will perform on Aug. 21. The concert series will end on Sept. 7, with Berkeley Community Pride Day. Jukebox Legends and New Power Soul will sing, followed by a fireworks display. The daylong event begins at 10 a.m. The entire $58,000 cost of the summer concert series is funded by community and business donations, officials said. Local businesses interested in sponsoring can contact Berkeley Recreation at 732-2694456, Amato said. In another warmer weather announcement, Councilman Angelo Guadagno said the township will add a farmers’ market this year in South Seaside Park on Mondays. The original farmers’ market will still be held on Tuesdays in the parking lot next to the township recreation building on Route 9.
ver Township back in 1875.The new township included what is now the Pinewald section, Bayville, South Seaside Park and the western section. The first meeting was held that year at the Dover Chapel in Bayville. One of the provisions in the new township called for it to be illegal for animals - like cattle, sheep and swine - to run loose, according to “The First 100 Years,” a publication the society put out for the township’s 100th anniversary back in 1975. The Historical Society meets at 7:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month at the township’s recreation building at 630 Route 9, right next to the museum.

While bathing tr unks, bikinis and various style swim suits were wor n during the event, some plungers took the occasion to be a bit more creative with a variety of costumes to plunge in.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
9th District Won’t Vote To Legalize Recreational Marijuana CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TR ENTON – Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Ru mpf a nd A sse mblywoman DiAnne C. Gove announced that their Delegation is unified in their opposition to any legislation that would legalize marijuana for recreational use, and will be voting accordingly when a bill is
considered by their respective Houses. As a member of the Assembly Oversig ht, Re form and Federal Relations Com mit tee, Assemblyman Rumpf participated in hearings held this year across the state regarding the impact of marijuana legislation on the state, including the public’s health
and safety. The Assemblyman’s extensive consideration of testimony provided by advocates on both sides of the issue allowed for the Delegation to make an informed decision. The Delegation’s opposition to legalizing marijuana is also consistent with the views expressed by the majority of constituents with whom the Delegation has discussed the issue over the years. “Without question, the dangers legalizing marijuana would pose to New Jersey residents are too severe to dismiss for the sake of revenue generated to
fill Trenton’s coffers,” the Delegation stated. “First and foremost, we are concerned about the dangers of dr ugged driving and the expanded potential for deaths and serious injuries caused by impaired drivers. “No comparable equivalent to a breathalyzer test exists for law enforcement to effectively determine if a driver is high on marijuana. This will only complicate the effor ts and exhaust the resources of the local police, county sheriff officers and State troopers, who already work tirelessly to keep our roadways safe. “Teachers and all educa-
tional professionals, along with law enforcement, will be on the front lines of the fight to combat expanded drug abuse caused by the absence of any safeguards in the legislation to steer marijuana away from our youths and schools, which is also extremely alarming. “To us and many of our constituents, it’s unfathomable and completely irresponsible that our state would even consider legalizing marijuana while tens of millions of taxpayer dollars are being appropriated to fight an opioid epidemic with an increasing death toll.
Legislation Will Expand Paid Family Leave From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – Acting on his commitment to support and uplift New Jersey’s middle class, Governor Phil Murphy today signed into law a sweeping expansion to the state’s paid family leave program. New Jersey enacted a paid family leave program in 2008 and today’s law significantly expands that program to provide additional job protections for those who miss work due to caring for a newborn child or a sick loved one. “No one should ever be forced to choose between caring for a family member and earning a paycheck,” said Governor Murphy. “By providing the most expansive paid family leave time and benefits in the nation, we are ensuring that New Jerseyans no longer have to face such a decision and that working families are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. This compre-
hensive paid family leave program, coupled with the newly passed earned sick leave and minimum wage increase, are fundamental elements in building a stronger and fairer New Jersey for all working families.” A3975 changes New Jersey’s paid family leave program in a number of ways, including the following: • Doubling the number of weeks for Family Leave Insurance (FLI) and Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI): Employees can take up to 12 consecutive weeks of paid family leave or temporary disability insurance during any 12-month period, beginning in July 2020. Currently, employees are only able to take up to 6 weeks of FLI or TDI in a 12-month period. • Increasing the weekly benefit: Individuals can now receive 85 percent of their weekly wage, with the
maximum possible benefit going up to 70 percent of the statewide average weekly wage. Using data from this year, the maximum possible benefit would go up from $650 a week to $860 a week under this law. • Increasing intermittent leave from 42 days to 56 days: Workers will be able to take up to 56 days of intermittent leave within a 12-month period, beginning in July 2020. • Anti-retaliation provisions: Employers with over 30 employees will be barred from retaliating or discriminating against an employee because they took family leave. • Expanding individuals eligible to take paid family leave: The newly signed legislation expands paid family leave to include caring for siblings, in-laws, grandparents, grandchildren, other blood relatives, and any other individuals who can be shown to have the equivalent of a family relationship. • Including domestic and sexual violence: The bill explicitly allows family temporary disability leave to be taken for medical at-
tention, counseling, or legal assistance or proceedings arising out of domestic violence or sexual violence. An individual can take family leave under this provision if they themselves were the victim of domestic or sexual violence, or if they need to care for a family member
who was such a victim. “Expanding family leave means people can take needed time off to care for each other without the worry of losing their paycheck, or even worse, their job,” said Lt. Governor Sheila Y. Oliver, who also serves as Commissioner of the
“It’s also very telling that marijuana legalization was not left up to the voters, as other states have done. Clearly, those who support legalization didn’t want leave anything to chance, including the strength of public opposition. “In the end, this all simply comes down to money. Power broker s d r iv i ng the agenda for our cashstarved state want more taxation and revenue to keep up with the reckless pace of excessive and politicized gover n ment spending, regardless of the consequences for our communities.”
Department of Community Affairs. “Taking care of family members is a fact of life that we will all have to face at some point and by signing this bill today, we are making it possible for working people to take care of each other without risking their livelihood.”

Berkeley Continues “See Something, Say Something” Campaign
By Jennifer Peacock BERKELEY – The “See Something, Say Something” campaign continues in Berkeley Township. “It’s important to remind residents that if they see something suspicious they should report it to the police immediately.” Mayor Carmen Amato said. The collaborative campaign between the township administration and police department includes signs placed throughout the town, postings on billboards, web sites, and social media and Nixle notifications. “Berkeley Township is 42 square miles with 42,000 residents. Every resident can assist by being the eyes and ears of our community. So if you see something, say something. I want
to thank Councilman James J. Byrnes for suggesting we begin to promote the campaign,” Amato added. “I have seen this program in other parts of the state. I communicated the idea to Mayor Amato and Chief Karin DiMichele and they immediately embraced it. I want to thank them both for pushing this ahead,” Councilman James Byrnes said. “Many seniors are aware of what is going on in their neighborhoods. We all know who should be in our neighborhoods and who shouldn’t. If you see someone who looks suspect or a situation that just doesn’t look right, please report it to the police,” said Councilwoman Judith Noonan, who is also the President of the Senior Coalition in Berkeley Township. “This will be in addition to the Berkeley Township Police Department Tip Line. It should be noted that the tip line has proved positive, as concerned citizens have alerted police which has led to multiple investigations and arrests.” Chief Karin DiMichele explained. Residents can leave their information with the Tip Line, or report activity anonymously, at 732-341-1132 or email detective@btpdnj.org.

Around The Jersey Shore Learn To Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The carbon monoxide detector isn’t blaring from a malfunction. Ocean County Health Department officials are urging residents to take those alarms seriously. It could save a life. When a CO alarm sounds off, leave the home immediately and call for help. “It’s called the silent killer because carbon monoxide is a gas that gives no warning - you can’t see it, taste it or smell it. Never gamble with your family’s health and safety by assuming it just may be the batteries or some other unknown reason that triggered the device,” Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health said. Heating and cooking appliances, tools, vehicles, and other household devices can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, leading to more than 400 deaths each year in the United States. Residents should have CO detectors on every level in their homes and near every sleeping area. Batteries should be replaced twice a year for daylights savings. Suspected malfunctioning batteries should be replaced immediately. “During cold and influenza season, symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can easily be confused with symptoms of viral illness like the common cold or flu. If symptoms come on shortly after turning on a device in a certain room and go away after leaving the area or
more than one person gets sick at the same time, then these are clues to help identify CO poisoning,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, said. Prevention is also key. • Keep all heating and dryer vents clear of snow, leaves and other debris. • Keep open flues when using a fireplace. Have chimneys inspected for blockage. • Don’t use the stove to heat the home/apartment. • Generators are for outdoor use only. Keep them at least 20 feet from buildings, doors and windows. • Keep generators, pressure washers, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal-burning devices out of the house (including a basement, garage, carport, camper, boat cabin, or tent) and away from open windows and doors. • Do not idle vehicles in a closed garage. “If someone is unresponsive or unconscious and you suspect them being exposed to CO poisoning, get them out of the house and call 9-1-1 without delay. Trying to open windows is only a waste of time and will only cause you to breathe in more of the dangerous fumes. However, it’s ok to leave the door open after you exit so fresh air can seep in,” Regenye said. For more information on CO poisoning, visit the poison center at njpies.org.

Ocean Ride Praised For Emergency Transportation
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Earlier this year, 30 residents were evacuated and taken to area hospitals for possible carbon monoxide exposure. Once they are evaluated, possibly treated, and given the clearance to leave, how do you get them back to where they were staying? That was the challenge faced in early January, when alarms went off at the Manahawkin Nursing & Rehabilitation facility on Route 72 West. A carbon monoxide detector had gone off in the building’s basement the night of Jan. 8, and crews needed to move 30 residents out and get them to area hospitals for treatment, as a precaution. How were they all going to get back to the facility? Freeholder Gary Quinn, who is freeholder liaison for the county’s transportation and Ocean Ride departments, said “I’m very proud to say, Ocean Ride came up to the plate and stepped up and helped get these people back into their homes,” Quinn said. Ocean Ride staff transported all the residents back to the facility Jan. 9, once the carbon monoxide leak was fixed and they were told they could return. “Ocean Ride helped in transporting the residents between Shore Meadow in Toms River, where many were moved to, back to Manahawkin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center,” Quinn read from a prepared statement. “Ocean Ride buses started
arriving at 1:30 p.m. into the Toms River facility and they assisted in picking up 28 people - 15 of them were semi-ambulatory, four were in electric wheelchairs and nine were in regular wheelchairs - along with their fully stocked [medicine cabinets] that contained all their pills that they could take with them. …The whole process went off without a hitch.” Quinn thanked the four drivers, assistant director and director for their work in helping the rehab residents get safely back. He praised the other Ocean Ride drivers, who picked up the slack on routes that still had to be covered that Wednesday. “They did a tremendous job, they did a great job moving the residents and all their equipment back into the building. Everyone doesn’t remember the cold that day, but it was extremely cold and windy that day, which made their job even more difficult,” Quinn said. “Overall, it was just a tremendous team effort on behalf of Ocean Ride,” Quinn added. Ocean Ride provides low-cost transportation to the public. Route days and times vary. While most buses can accommodate wheelchairs and motor scooters, the county does ask that riders call the day before their ride to ensure the proper equipment for transport is provided.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth 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.
Loss Of Balance And Unsteadiness Loss of balance and unsteadiness are changes often seen as a function of aging, the number one health concern of individuals in their later years. Over $3 billion are spent in medical expenses due to balance related falls. Human equilibrium is a complex interaction which requires cor rect input from three receptors: the inner ear, vision and somatosensory receptors, which is our contact, with our feet, ankles, muscles and joints. All three signals must be received by our central nervous system. Then, the cerebellum, which is the motor of the brain, must execute the correct movement of our musculoskeletal system to maintain our center of gravity. If any one or several components of this complicated system are not working properly, then we will have a loss of sure footedness or movement coordination. The natural aging process may effect any one or all of these senses as well as the nervous system’s ability to interpret them and then to react quickly. It is very common
for someone who has fallen to say they saw the curb or step, but just were not able to maintain their balance. Common illnesses or diseases with aging which cause decreased hearing and vision also cause a decrease in a person’s balance. For most people, however, this occurs over several years. Sometimes, it is noticed as difficulty walking, particularly up or down steps or across surfaces such as thick carpeting. Balance retraining programs have helped thousands of older adults with fall prevention to improve balance and coordination. These programs are specially designed for the individual based on their strengths and weaknesses. The programs work in coordination with the patient’s health care provider so that continuity of care is not sacrificed. If you feel unsteady on your feet and have had difficulty maintaining your balance (like a sensation of feeling drunk), you may wish to contact Dr. Izzy at 732-276-1011, who may be able to provide you with some answers.
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 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Diet Drinks May Increase Stroke And Disability
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
We are so attached to our food and drink that it pains me when I have to take something away from you. But this is an old story for me. I have never ever recommended artificially sweetened sodas or “diet” anything! To me, that whole industry is a multi-billion dollar campaign effort to get you to drink and eat things that aren’t, by definition, food anymore. The entire industry depends on the illusion of you thinking that diet drinks are healthy. The latest research is frightening. It’s based upon data collected over 12 years and suggests that consuming just 5 diet drinks (sodas, juices, other) correlates to a much higher risk of stroke and heart disease, and in fact a dramatically higher risk of dying early from any cause. This data was extrapolated from a study on people over the age of 50, who did not have other major health problems. They were essentially well, but after drinking artificially sweetened drinks for 12 years, a lot of them had a stroke! What’s wrong with water? Water does not come with the risk that one day someone will have to change your adult diapers. Water makes sense, yet some health practitioners recommend “diet” beverages as a way to cut calories, support weight loss or improve health status. Very sad. The study that I’ve been referring to is entitled: Artificially Sweetened Beverages and Stroke, Coronary Heart Disease, and All-Cause Mortality in the Women’s Health Initiative. The study finds your risk for a hemorrhagic
stroke is dramatically higher if you drink a lot of diet sodas. No particular brand is the problem, it’s the artificial chemicals inside of these drinks. It’s egregious that these things are not only allowed to be sold, no less pitched to you as some healthy alternative. So it’s really up to you to know better. The newest research was published in a journal called Stroke. Over 80,000 women were studied, most between the ages of 55 and 79. Drinking a couple of diet drinks each day (335ml which is the amount in a typical can of soda) increases your risk for stroke by 23% compared to women who drink less than one per week. Every 40 seconds, someone in the US has a stroke. If survived, a stroke can leave one paralyzed and sometimes in need of nursing home care or bed-ridden. Other post-TIA or stroke disabilities include confusion, inability to speak or understand language, poor memory, difficulty swallowing food (requiring a feeding tube) or blindness and/ or hearing loss. Other factors that further raise your risk include being overweight, sedentary, nutritionally deficient in essential nutrients or fatty acids that support brain health, and of course your genes. Impending signs include sudden eyesight loss or visual changes, slurring, inability to speak or understand, tingling and balance problems. For more information visit my website and use my search box.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
New Dog At My Neighbor’s House Dear Joel, I’ve lived next to my neighbor for 30 years. We really get along but he recently retired and got a beagle. He’s been looking forward to getting this dog for years, but every time the dog goes outside, he barks constantly. Last fall he dug up a patch in my flower garden. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs but what can be done to restore our peaceful neighborhood. Answer, Oh those barking dogs. They’re cute and cuddly, but the noise can wear on your nerves. It took my wife and me about two months of obedience training to get our dog to behave. Try to identify why the dog is barking. Maybe it would be good to talk to your
neighbor about converting part of his backyard into an exciting dog friendly environment. I have a friend who installed a run, a pool, and digging patch for the dog, which he loaded with surprises. The dog is so preoccupied with activity, he plays for hours and he’s tired enough to sleep through the night. You might also contribute a few toys, as mixing up playthings is very effective. Be patient, good neighbors are a blessing. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/ they are injured.
The Standard Policy does provide medical Michael J. Deem expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of Mar 2 - Mar 8 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): When the bar is set high, you tend to try harder. A desire to reach the heights of perfection to impress someone can be a worthy incentive. Use your street smarts to upgrade your piggy bank in the upcoming week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As the week begins you may have a handle on shrewd business strategies, but by mid-week you may learn that money is the root of all evil. Focus your energies on being a responsible member of your community. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “My way or the highway” is not a motto that will win friends or help you attain your objectives in the week ahead. You may start off with high standards but could become discouraged when your desires are misunderstood. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A little romance and relaxation can brighten your day, but the coming work week will require you to shift your attention to obligations. A hard-working partner can set a fast pace and you may be challenged to keep up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be amazed at the way a loved one can elevate the atmosphere with charm and grace. You may ride a financial roller coaster in the week to come, and you may not be as shrewd or as lucky as you think. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today you may be able to charm your way past anyone’s objectives, but the rest of the week might not be as easy. Avoid trying to take advantage of anyone as your strategies could backfire and cost you money.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your week may revolve around a partner’s ambitions or a loved one’s work schedule. By the weekend, however, you will have a chance to break free of restraints and try something more exciting. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Rely on your people skills for successful negotiations as this week unfolds. You can charm people into giving you a bargain rather than testing your luck with wheeling and dealing. Control extravagant spending habits. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Having fun may require a huge effort in the upcoming week but is well worth the bother. Overcome any temporary downturn in the atmosphere by focusing on hard work and staying within the budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the week ahead, you may feel driven to become more efficient and organized. You may think you are practical about purchases and sensible with the budget, but you could go to extremes without realizing it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today you are blessed with charm and poise under fire that will make everyone stand up and take notice. As the week goes by you will find it necessary to put more effort into actual work and spend less time dawdling. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may easily become sidetracked by material ambitions in the week ahead. Friends may encourage you to be more competitive, but this may not be a posture that fits your nature. Work hard but be patient.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Rustic Soup Brings Back Warm Family Memories
By Wolfgang Puck
I first learned to cook in a kitchen ruled by two strong, loving women: my mother and grandmother. They were both amazing cooks, and all these years later my mouth still waters when I think about the food they prepared. They weren’t fancy about our daily food. Though they both knew how to prepare the finest traditional Austrian dishes, they ran our home smartly and frugally. They grew most of their own vegetables, relying largely on fresh produce straight from our home garden along with smart pantry staples. Among their most reliable staples were dried beans. Of course, they grew most of the beans they used. I remember scarlet runner beans that they let dry on the vines in the summer sun before shelling and storing them. There were white beans like cannellini, too, since we lived so close to the Italian border. And I’m sure they bought more beans at local street markets. For such an inexpensive ingredient, dried beans provide generous flavor and texture, not to mention abundant healthy nutrients such as B vitamins, potassium, complex carbohydrates and fiber, along with good amounts of protein but little fat and no cholesterol. More than just a great accompaniment, they’re robust and flavorful enough to serve as a main dish in their own right. Take, for example, my recipe for white bean soup with root vegetables. With generous quantities of root vegetables, a little bacon for extra flavor (though vegetarians and vegans could leave that out), and optional garnishes of sliced cooked sausage and freshly grated Parmesan (also easy to omit for those who don’t eat meat or dairy), it’s definitely a soup that adds up to a meal in itself. With very little effort on your part, my recipe - which you can make with any variety of dried white beans - yields a generous quantity: 3 quarts (3 liters), the equivalent of a dozen 1-cup (250-mL) servings. So, unless you’re feeding a crowd, you can refrigerate or freeze leftovers to reheat for later. Add some warm, crusty bread, a salad of flavorful leaves like kale, arugula or endive, or just a simple slaw of shredded cabbage and carrots, and you have a perfectly satisfying dinner. It’s the sort of meal that will make you feel as if you’re dining by the fireplace. Once you’ve made the soup a few times, feel free to start experimenting. Use different kinds of beans, vegetables and seasonings. Add a smoked ham hock or turkey leg, if you like. In other words, make the recipe your own, reflecting whatever you have available that’s in season. In other words, cook like my mother and grandmother did. WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH ROOT VEGETABLES Makes 3 quarts (3 L) 2 cups (500 mL) dried white beans 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 1/2 quarts (2.5 L) store-bought good-quality
low-sodium chicken stock or broth, or vegetable stock or broth 2 ounces (60 g) smoked bacon, about 3 slices, cut crosswise into strips 2 medium yellow onions, peeled, trimmed, and diced 2 large carrots, trimmed, peeled, and diced 2 small celery stalks, trimmed and diced 1 small bulb celeriac, peeled and diced 6 large garlic cloves, peeled and chopped 1/4 cup (60 mL) tomato paste 1 large tomato, about 8 ounces (250 g), peeled, seeded, and chopped 2 or 3 large fresh basil leaves 2 or 3 sprigs fresh Italian parsley 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 sprig fresh rosemary 1/3 cup (85 mL) sherry wine vinegar 2 teaspoons sugar Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Sliced cooked sausage, for garnish, optional Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish, optional Start prepping the beans the night before. Little by little, spread them out on a clean work surface and sort out any grit or other debris or malformed beans. Put the beans in a strainer, and rinse thoroughly with cold running water. Then, transfer them to a bowl, add cold water to cover them by at least 2 inches (5 cm), and leave at room temperature to soak overnight. Start cooking the soup at least 3 hours before serving time, first draining the beans thoroughly. Heat a large stockpot over medium heat, and add the olive oil. Add the bacon strips and cook, stirring frequently, until they have browned lightly, several minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove and discard the bacon. In another pot, bring the stock or broth to a boil over medium-high heat; then, reduce the heat and keep warm. While the stock is heating, add the onions, carrots, celery and celeriac to the pot containing the oil and bacon fat, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, chopped tomato and drained beans. With kitchen string, securely tie together the basil, parsley, thyme and rosemary. Add the bundle to the pot along with the vinegar and sugar. Pour in the hot stock or broth, and stir well. Season lightly with salt and white pepper. Raise the heat, and bring the liquid to a full boil. Then reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, and adding more stock or fresh water as needed to keep the beans fully covered. When the beans are tender, remove and discard the herb bundle. Ladle out 2 cups (500 mL) of the beans and vegetables and puree them in a blender or food processor, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions for processing hot liquids safely without spattering. Stir the puree back into the pot. Taste and adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper. To serve ladle the soup into heated bowls. If you like, garnish with sausage and Parmesan cheese.
