—Photo by Chris Lundy A veteran salutes while the Manchester Township High School Concert Choir sings “The Star-Spangled Banner.” By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – In a questionnaire given to a few dozen veterans attending the 16th Annual Veterans Recognition Ceremony at Manchester Township High School, the fondest memory that came up most com monly about their service was the friends they made.

These bonds were forged on a deep and personal level, and though they may have gone in other directions when their service was over, those memories remained. It was important that those veterans be remembered, and that their stories be passed along, said English teacher Jill Ocone, who

has lead this ceremony since the beginning. She told the crowd gathered that she’s hea rd st udent s say “Nothing ever happens in Manchester.” However, in that very room, there were a few dozen service members who had experienced things they never could have imagined. They

had explored the world, and been stationed as far as the arctic. They remembered Bob Hope’s shows for the troops, and served security for President Lyndon Johnson. They helped build the Berlin Wall. These people all have amazing stories to tell, Ocone said. All you

FOR BREAKING NEWS

Adult Pot Use Could Be On 2020 Ballot

By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY – After failing to muster the votes in the State Legislature, lawmakers are trying to have the general public vote on marijuana legalization. Senate President Steve Sweeney and Senator Nicholas Scutari, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued a joint statement announcing the introduction of legislation

that, if passed, would put a referendum on the 2020 ballot to legalize adult use of marijuana in New Jersey. “This initiative will bring cannabis out of the underground so that it can be controlled to ensure a safe product, strictly regulated to limit use to adults and have sales subjected to the sales tax,” the statement read. “We will have the Legislature

vote on the plan during the current legislative session and expect the proposal to be on the ballot in 2020, when voter turnout will be maximized for the national election. We are confident it will be approved by the Senate, the Assembly and the voters.” As of right now, the text on the ballot would read “Do you (Pot - See Page 16)

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Werner Doehner occupied a unique spot in history. For years, he was known as the last known survivor of the Hindenburg. It was likely very difficult to be associated with such a tragedy. After all, the Hindenburg crash was known internationally, and his grief was very personal. Only 8 years old at the time of the crash, he lost two family members in the disaster. He passed away on Nov. 8 at the age of 90. When this reporter contacted Doehner in 2017 for The Manchester Times’ special edition chronicling the 80th Anniversary of the Hindenburg, he was living in the aptly named town of Parachute, Colorado. He left a voice mail for the reporter that said, in his German accent, “This is Werner Doehner, from the Hindenburg.” This was the only person in the world who could leave a voice mail like this. Even when interviewed for the project, he did not offer much. He said something along the (Hindenburg - See Page 4)

Hunger Knows No Season

By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – Hunger knows no season, but often the month of November is a time to focus on the hungry, given the holiday of Thanksgiving and its abundant feast. The Community Foodbank of New Jersey (CFBNJ) is holding several large-scale turkey distributions this month to help local soup kitchens and food pantries provide community members throughout the state with Thanksgiving meals, said Megan Annecchiarico, an Account Coordinator for BML Public Relations whose client is the food bank. “Close to 900,000 people in New Jersey do not know if they have enough food to feed themselves and their families each day. CFBNJ, New Jersey’s largest anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization, partners annually with more than 1,000 organizations in New Jersey Communities to help share the joy of the holiday season with those who (Hunger - See Page 5)

lines of “Everything’s already been said.” Carl Jablonski, President of the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society, said that summed up his attitude toward reporters. In the past, Doehner had been hounded by journalists and had cameras aimed at him. People got his autograph and then sold it. Understandably, he became wary of anyone who tried to profit off his tragedy. Jablonski said he never met the man, but they had spoken on the phone. While Doehner was less forthcoming with strangers, he was more comfortable talking with historians. He would share his experiences with those who had a true interest in the

to weather. As they were approaching Lakehurst, there was a one-hour window to land before the next spat of bad weather kicked up again. The crew, eager to land, brought the airship in to land. But something went wrong – what, exactly, has been discussed at length without conclusion. The ship erupted in flames, and in less than a minute dropped to the ground at what is now Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. It claimed 36 people - 13 passengers, 22 crew, and one ground crew member. Two of those lost were Doehner family members. Walter and Werner jumped out of the observation deck’s windows to the ground below, with the help of their mother. Irene, his sister, panicked and fled to the state room. The mother and father looked for her but couldn’t fi nd her. She had been found by a crew member and taken away from the crash. She died later that night from her burns. They never saw the father after

he went off looking for his daughter. He was later found dead in the wreckage. His mother suffered a broken pelvis and burns. Both brothers had severe burns to their hands and legs. They were treated for three months at Point Pleasant hospital before being transferred to New York. One has to imagine what tissue transfer and plastic surgeries were like in 1937, especially for an 8-year-old boy. Life went on for Doehner, even if every year he had to relive the experience. In 1967 he married. He settled in Mexico, Ecuador and then fi nally the U.S. An electrical engineer, he retired from New England Electric in 1999. In 2018, he moved from Parachute, Colorado to Laconia, New Hampshire to be closer to family. The last time Doehner was here was for the 50th anniversary, in 1987. Doehner was scheduled to come out to the 80th anniversary, but it didn’t work out, Jablonski said. The group will likely have a memorial to him at next year’s ceremony.

Veterans:

would give young people today: “Join the military because it builds character.” “Stay open-minded and know there are lots of people and cultures in the world.” These sentiments were shared with the crowd, which was made up of a lot of students. Student leaders spoke about the history of that day, and helped in the ceremony. The school’s ROTC presented the colors.

The Concert Choir sang the Star-Spangled Banner and Homeward Bound. The Concert Band played a medley of the official song of each armed service. The veterans in attendance were encouraged to stand during the branch of service where they were a member. Being a member of the military means there’s a chance you could not make it home. “Taps” was played, and there was a moment of silence for those lost.

Hindenburg and the age of airships. Not all of the attention he received was negative. A nurse who treated him after the crash, Mary Shannon (mother of Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia Haines), wrote letters to Werner and his brother Walter, keeping touch with them up until her passing in the 1990s. When he turned 10, he was treated to a birthday party in Belmar thrown by the doctors and nurses who treated him here. “He was very happy to be there for people who treated him and helped his family,” Jablonski said. Doehner was 8 years old when he went on vacation to Germany with his family: father Hermann, 50, mother Matilde, 41, sister Irene, 14, and brother Walter, 10. The father was a pharmaceutical executive for a German-owned company in Mexico. The family was on their way back on May 6, 1937 when it happened. The flight was delayed for 12 hours due

Hunger:

Continued From Page 1 might otherwise go without a Thanksgiving meal,” Annecchiarico said. CFBNJ is expected to distribute more than 25,000 turkeys and roasters at 10 locations throughout New Jersey. Organizations that have placed holiday orders with the FoodBank will visit the designated pick-up sites closest to them to get roasters and frozen turkeys, which they will each distribute on their own schedules. The FoodBank works with more than 1,000 of these partners year-round, providing the food that enables them to serve neighbors in need in their communities. “Our community partners are the boots on the ground that help us feed struggling families and make a local impact on hunger,” said Carlos Rodriguez, President and CEO of the FoodBank. “During the holidays, they allow us to share the joy of the season with those who might otherwise go without a Thanksgiving meal.” As to how big of an issue hunger is in New Jersey and at the Jersey shore in particular, “studies show one in 10 people are “food insecure” in New Jersey meaning they do not know where their next meal will come from,” Fulfi ll CEO and President Kim Guadagno said. Fulfill was formerly known as the Food Bank of Ocean and Monmouth counties. Guadagno added, “of that number, one in seven are children. In Monmouth and Ocean Counties, for example, that means

The Manchester Times, November 30, 2019, Page 5 136,000 people go to bed hungry and 50,000 of them are children.” “We always see an increase in donations about this time of year, thankfully. But it is never enough to fi ll the need. Our Students Change Hunger campaign and our Fill-A-Truck campaign are just two of the hundreds of ways people can help through their schools or at their grocery stores. They can donate directly on line at Fulﬁllnj.org,” Guadagno said. “Fulfi ll is one of the 10 best charities in New Jersey according to Charity Navigator, and we are proud to be named one of the best for 10 years in a row. Every dollar means three meals for our neighbors. At Fulfi ll, $.96 of every dollar goes directly to food. So, we appreciate both funds and food,” Guadagno said. Fulfi ll has a Thanksgiving wish list which includes the most needed items of the year. Donations of manual can openers would be appreciated and non-perishables of low sodium cans of green beans, corn, mixed vegetables, yams, cranberry sauce, boxed potatoes, boxed stuffi ng, gravy, canned soup and broth, pie crust and cornbread mixes. Donations of perishables sought include frozen turkeys, turkey and chicken breasts. Members of the Lacey Food Bank have been keeping busy with a variety of food gathering projects. Local Cub Scouts from Pack 35 were assisting them on Nov. 9 to pick up non-perishable food donations that went directly to the Lacey Food Bank. “This is one of our key collections as

we approach Thanksgiving and the cold winter season,” Laura Caroccia, the food bank’s director said. The Lacey Food Bank also received assistance and support from the Rotary Club of Forked River who held their annual food drive on Nov. 23 at the parking lot of the Walmart store on Route 9 in Lanoka Harbor. “My personal commitment to the Lacey Food Bank is working toward eliminating the food insecurity that our own Lacey families and especially the children face day in and day out. To do that, we must not only provide healthy, nutritious family and child-friendly foods and snacks but also work together as a community to provide the means and support to break the cycle of hunger, vis-à-vis education and partnerships,” Caroccia said. Caroccia said, “as the temperatures cool, many fi nd themselves having to choose between paying a heating bill or buying groceries. Food drives such as Scouting for Food and the Rotary Thanksgiving Drive come at a time when the demand for food increases and we are so thankful for their donations.” “Going into the winter, the need for warm and filling foods are our top priority and we are lucky to have so many community, business and school groups that will add to our pantry. To put our needs in perspective, with more 240 families that’s more than 600 people - currently on our client list we need nearly 500 cans of soup a month to give each family just two cans of soup in their monthly food bag,”

Caroccia said. “We have added extra storekeeper hours by opening on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon not only to accept donations but also to be available for emergency food needs,” Caroccia said. While state, county and municipal organizations take on large scale hunger needs, a family in Howell is doing what they can for the second year in a row to help feed the hungry through Thanksgiving food baskets. The goal of Grayson, Reagan, Mindy and Ryan Musillo is to amass enough donated food items to make baskets for local families in need. Mindy Musillo said, “we started our collection last year after being inspired by a fellow teacher of mine from Manalapan, Jamie Bruno. I wanted to try and help make this possible for other people who may need a little extra support. It was also very important to me to have my children aware of how fortunate our family is and the importance of helping others. “Last year with the help of friends, neighbors and community members we were able to create and deliver 25 baskets. This year we have over 40 families,” Mindy Musillo said. Musillo added, “the support from people around us - both those we know and others who have helped from the Howell community - has been amazing. The people receiving the baskets have been beyond grateful and thankful that they will be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner with their family and friends.”

Memorial Services Planned For Whiting Woman

Martha Gray Decker, of Whiting, born January 14, 1947, was 72 when she died on November 6, at Hackensack Meridian Hospital in Brick, surrounded by her family, after a long illness of cancer. Known always as Mimi, she is survived by her daughters Barbara Ann Hawkins, of Whiting, and Tracy Lee Stoft (George), of Hewitt, NJ, her older brother Robert Y. Gray of River Vale, NJ, and sister Suzanne G. Kelley, of Guilford, CT. Mimi also leaves behind her two deeply beloved grandchildren, Sophie G. Stoft and George J. Stoft V, five nephews, and a niece. She was predeceased by her younger sister, Jennifer G. Gray, in 2011. Brought up on Valley View Avenue in Ridgewood, NJ, Mimi was the daughter of the late Robert and Ethel Gray. After graduating from Ridgewood High School in 1964, she married Kenneth C. Hawkins in 1965. They lived in Wyckoff, where they raised their two daughters and also ran their business, Ridgewood Moving Service. After divorcing in 1983 and relocating to the Jersey shore, Mimi worked at

several restaurants as head waitress, notably at Who's on Third, in Spring Lake. In 1992 she married Geoffrey R. Decker, also from Ridgewood, spending many happy years with him until he died in 2017. Mimi will long be remembered as a warm, caring friend with a highly contagious laugh. She would ask people she came across their names—and remember them. One medical receptionist remarked that in her 28 years at work only Mimi had ever asked her name. Sports figured into her life, playing volleyball in an adult league at Willard School as well as covering third base on Esposito's riotous softball team throughout the seventies at Ridgewood's Veterans Field, occasionally sipping some "liquid courage" between innings. Singing backup to the band Eugene Thomas and the Discords was another favorite pursuit. An enthusiastic cook, Mimi gave wonderful parties, often after Espo's team games. Her ongoing pastimes included sudoku, crosswords, and cards—a veritable queen at Pounce. Mimi was dearly loved, and she will be profoundly missed by her family and by so many longtime friends. A memorial service is planned for Saturday, December 14, at 1 pm at the West Milford Presbyterian Church, 1452 Union Valley Road, in West Milford, NJ, followed by a celebratory repast. Her burial will be private. An earlier remembrance was held on November 23, at Whiting Bar and Spirits (732-849-0701), 108 Lacey Road, Manchester Township.

Continued From Page 1 approve amending the Constitution to legalize a controlled form of marijuana called ‘cannabis?’ Only adults at least 21 years of age could use cannabis. The State commission created to oversee the State’s medical cannabis program would also oversee the new, personal use cannabis market. Retail sales of cannabis products in this new

market would be subject to the State’s sales tax, and no other form of tax.” Sweeney and Scutari characterized the marijuana issue as a debate of social justice and conscience. Gov. Phil Murphy, who had legalization as a campaign promise, agreed. “My belief that our current marijuana laws have failed every test of social justice and that the right course is to legalize its use by adults has not changed,” he said. “I am

disappointed that we are not able to get this done legislatively and that our failed status quo - which sends roughly 600 people to jail a week for possession, the majority of them people of color - will continue. However, I have faith that the people of New Jersey will put us on the right side of history when they vote next November.” Although Colorado is usually the state most people look at when seeing what impacts legalization has, it is not the only

state where it’s legal. According to Business Insider, the following states also have adult recreational marijuana: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Illinois, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine and Alaska. Criticism Earlier, state lawmakers tried to get legalization passed, but it was unpopular. A vote was planned for a package of bills that would legalize adult use marijuana, expunge records of people charged with possession of up to 5 pounds, and expand medicinal marijuana use. However, when Democrat leaders were trying to find out how much support there was, they came up short on definite “yes” votes. Sweeney said during a press conference back then that they decided not to put it up to vote because it would be defeated. So instead they pushed “pause” on it, so they could work to get more support. He also noted during that press conference that if it was on the ballot in November of 2019, it wouldn’t do well because it was not a presidential election and not as many people would vote. However, some people feel that by tying the more popular expungement bill to the less popular recreational vote, it doomed the expungement bill. When Murphy Tweeted his support of a 2020 referendum, a slew of Twitter users said he could push for expungement now if he was really concerned with social justice. Instead, 600 arrests a week will continue to happen for another year. Expungement would help people who have minor offenses have a more productive future, Sen. Robert Singer (R-30th) told a group at an affordable housing assembly in Lakewood earlier this year. “Too many young lives have been ruined for having a small amount of marijuana.” Even if the legislature is torn on recreational marijuana, they should still move forward with the expungement of people’s record, he had said. “Expungement is a separate bill that we still intend to do,” a spokesman for the state Democrats said. Sold Locally? Even if the “reefer-endum” passes, it would likely face opposition in some towns. Municipalities can control where certain businesses operate. For example, they can zone certain areas for industrial use, away from residences. Several governing bodies of local towns, like Berkeley, have already made it illegal to sell recreational marijuana within town limits. A move like this was tabled in Toms River because, officials said, any statewide law would supersede local. Therefore, they were waiting to see what form it took on the state level so they could respond.

Changing Your Wax Guards

Did you know? Wax guards help protect your hearing aids from damaging buildup of wax, skin particles, and other debris. Quite often, the hearing aid may sound “weak” or “dead” because of a clogged filter! Learn how to change them right at home — it’s a breeze! Know When to Change the Wax Guard. Putting this task on at least a monthly schedule offers an easy nudge for handling it in a timely manner. Plus, if your technology isn’t working properly — even with fresh batteries — it may be a sign that the wax guard needs changing. Use the Right One for Your Device. Wax guards come in diverse sizes and types, but not every version is right for your hearing aids. We can provide or help you choose the compatible wax guards for your specific hearing instruments. Remove the Old Wax Guard. Most wax-guard kits comprise a set of small sticks — each with a removal prong on one end or side and a small, white replacement wax guard on the other. Remove the current wax guard from your hearing aid shell by pushing the prong into the center hole of the guard and then

pulling it out. Clean the Hearing Aid Shell. With the old wax guard removed, clean the area using a toothbrush set aside for hearing aid maintenance. Brushing off the shell with a few strokes helps clear it of any remaining wax or other debris. Remember, when brushing the hearing aid, the receiver port should be facing downward. By this time, you should be hearing more sound from the hearing instrument (particularly if the wax guard was clogged). Install the New Wax Guard. Using the same tool, line up the end that contains the new guard with the hole on your hearing aid shell or earmold where the old one sat. Gently push the prong into the center hole — the new wax guard should set or snap in place — then pull the prong back out. You may need to briefly hold the new guard in place with your fingernail while you remove the tool. If your technology still isn’t sounding as clear as it did or exhibits some other issue, please call us at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin). We’re here to help!

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

Bitter Melon Is Useful For Oral Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

There’s a famous quote by Hippocrates that underpins today’s article: Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Bitter melon is a food that has a new potential use for an unusual cancer. It’s a a gourd that belongs to the pumpkin and zucchini family. You’ll likely be told by your doctor that this is just a folk remedy and not “approved” for anything important. I disagree. As you know, my life’s work is devoted to researching natural foods and extracts that work along the same pathways as drugs. I’m a pharmacist so I understand all of that. FYI, I happen to also formulate dietary supplements and to be fully transparent, I have included bitter melon in one of them. But it’s in there for blood sugar and insulin sensitivity concerns. Today’s article isn’t about any of that. It’s about mouth cancer. Early signs of oral cancer are easy to ignore and include chronic mouth sores, white or red patches in your mouth, numbness, pain, difficulty swallowing, jaw swelling or voice alterations. Bitter melon is a food and its constituents have been studied for the past few years for fast-growing malignancies, especially mouth cancer which many smokers get. Tobacco is a risk factor, among others. The latest news is solid and suggests that bitter melon extracts can slow down the growth of oral dysplasia and squamous cell cancer in the mouth and throat. This makes me think it could help with stomach and colon cancer too. This also makes me think all smokers should read

today’s article. Certain inflammatory pathways and pain-causing cytokines rise during the development and progression of oral cancer. If bitter melon can control the cytokines (and again, research proves that it does) then oral cancer progression and spreading is blocked! Your oncologist might be interested in evaluating certain immune checkpoints that bitter melon is known to suppress. I list the specific pathways and cytokines in my extended article, which I can email to anyone who wants it. Just join my online community at suzycohen.com In a brand new study published in October 2019, researchers proved that bitter melon inhibited both glycolysis and lipogenesis, which is hugely beneficial to oral cancer patients. This should be making headlines everywhere but since it’s not heavily funded, and foods don’t make people money, you won’t hear about it after today. A paradigm shift needs to occur in your mind if you’re being treated for cancer. Please tell yourself that many malignancies have natural, proven treatments that can help. Of course, you want to be prudent but keep an open-mind. I hope today’s article gives you renewed hope and a new therapy to consider. Bitter melon is considered a food, but it’s also sold as a tea and dietary supplement. My intention is to help improve or extend the life of someone you know and/or augment their chemotherapy. This is purely educational, so please ask your doctor what is right for you.

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

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include 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 include 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.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of NOV 30 - dec 6

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on having a peaceful place to work while you pursue creative ideas and try to sidestep those who push your buttons. In the week ahead, an unexpected bill or expense can become the subject of aggravation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): During the week to come, your interest in the latest trends can broaden your horizons. You appear tolerant and open-minded, and you may be invited to share meals or events with someone outside your regular circle. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Exhibit an aptitude for fairness. You can blow the whistle and make the call, but make sure you’re a nonpartisan referee. Take steps to ensure that your relationships are harmonious and your surroundings are pleasant in the coming week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There should be an abundance of opportunities to spend time with family in the upcoming week. Don’t be disappointed if one person has a scheduling conflict or another one wants to do something nontraditional. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get in touch with friends and family who have drifted away. In the week ahead you might be puzzled by someone’s unexpected change of heart or plans, but that doesn’t mean you should lose your temper. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you make it plain that you play by the rules, other people will be persuaded to play fair, too. You may juggle several fantasies this week, but you are realistic enough to know that they will require hard work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Those who hold the reins of power might be impressed by your enthusiasm and creative talents. If you are dissatisfied with life or restless for excitement, find acceptable ways to break out of a self-imposed rut. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Both friends and foes are likely to take you into their confidence. Friends in high places might give you a tip or drop a hint that lets you to make smart business decisions. It is a good week for something totally different. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An appreciation of the best the world offers may be your best trait. Your toughest problem in the week ahead might be how to fit an extra piece of pumpkin pie on your plate without seeming greedy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not everything is what it seems. You may be misled or misinformed in the upcoming week, but you can rely upon better judgment and decision-making skills during the next few days. Make a plan and stick to it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make a progressive pick. You probably don’t need every new gadget or app, but it can be eye-opening to experiment with something new this week. Try things out to see if they are beneficial in some way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When you are surrounded by peace and tranquility, you can be more creative, artistic and visionary. Feel free to act when your imagination is energized. You may learn who your most trusted allies are in the week ahead.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Turkey Croquettes Can Transform Your Thanksgiving Leftovers By Wolfgang Puck Here’s a sobering thought as we all look forward to the bounty of Thanksgiving dinner: According to the subtitle of a study first published in 2012 and updated in 2017 by the nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council, “America is losing up to 40 percent of its food from farm to fork to landfill.” The largest part of food waste happens at home, with an average of 238 pounds of food per person being tossed out every year. On a helpful, hopeful note, the report also includes smart suggestions consumers can follow to reduce home food waste. These include shopping wisely; understanding sell-by, use-by, and best-by dates on packaged products; decluttering and organizing refrigerators, freezers and pantries; freezing properly packaged foods for longer storage; sharing food with friends and family; and even recycling scraps by composting them or feeding them to backyard chickens. The suggestion I like the most, though, is simply to save and reuse leftovers. Some of the most flavorful dishes I know start with good leftovers. If you get into the habit of reutilizing them from your home-cooked meals (or food you take home from restaurants), you’ll do your part toward combatting a food waste crisis. And what wonderful opportunities will await you the morning after Thanksgiving. Leftover turkey and roast vegetables can be diced and fried in a cast-iron skillet to make a succulent hash. The turkey carcass and some fresh aromatic vegetables and herbs can be simmered to make broth or soup. Sandwiches and salads will be natural bonuses from the roast, too. But maybe you want to do something even more creative. With that in mind, I’m happy to share with you a traditional recipe for leftover turkey (or ham, beef, pork or chicken, for that matter) from Aram Mardigian, executive chef at my Wolfgang Puck American Grille in the Borgata Hotel, Casino and Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey: turkey croquettes. Croquettes get their name from the French word croquer, meaning “to crunch,” a perfect description of the pleasing results that come from how they’re formed and cooked. The main ingredient, in this case leftover turkey, is minced and mixed with seasonings - feel free to vary them as you like - and a creamy sauce made by thickening stock with a little flour and butter roux. Once cooled, the mixture is shaped into balls, coated with eggs and breadcrumbs, and fried until heated through and crunchy golden brown. You can serve them with gravy or even alternatives like your favorite tomato sauce or good-quality bottled chutney, along with some rice or mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. I hope you’ll give this comfortingly old-fashioned recipe a try - and do your own part in combatting post-holiday food waste!

TURKEY CROQUETTES Serves 8 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup (125 ml) all-purpose flour 2 cups (500 ml) good-quality canned low-sodium chicken broth or stock, heated to a simmer 4 cups (1 l) cooked turkey meat, picked free of bones, skin, fat, or gristle 2 tablespoons minced yellow onion 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley leaves 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Pinch freshly ground black pepper Pinch cayenne 23/4 cups (685 ml) fine dried breadcrumbs, plain or seasoned 4 large eggs In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Stirring briskly with a wire whisk, sprinkle in the flour to form a smooth paste. Continue stirring in a figure-8 motion and cook until this roux looks bubbly but is still light in color, 3 to 5 motion. Still stirring briskly with the whisk, pour in the hot chicken broth. Simmer, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens to a thick, creamy consistency. Remove from the heat. Work in batches if your processor is not large enough to hold all the ingredients comfortably. Put the turkey meat, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Add the warm sauce and pulse the machine on and off until the turkey meat is just barely but evenly minced; the mixture still should have some good texture to it. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and leave it until it is cool enough to form with your hands. Break the eggs into a large, shallow bowl and beat them with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are evenly combined. Spread the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl or on a large plate. With clean hands moistened with a little cold water, form some of the turkey mixture into a ball about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter; turn into in the beaten eggs to coat it, then immediately roll it gently in the breadcrumbs until coated. Transfer to a large clean platter or tray, gently flattening them slightly to form thick discs. Repeat with the remaining turkey mixture, eggs, and breadcrumbs. In a large frying pan or skillet with high sides, heat about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of oil over high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C) on a deep-frying thermometer. Add several of the croquettes to the frying pan, taking care not to crowd the oil, and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes total; use a wire skimmer or slotted spoon to turn them over gently about halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the fried croquettes to a platter lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining croquettes.
