Mayor: Some Development Can’t Be Fought

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Mayor Robert Hudak weighed in recently on social media concerning the subject of mixed-use development in the community. He called for citizens to join a township committee to examine township codes and updating its master plan.

Mixed use properties are when more than one thing is being built on a property, for example a mix of retail and housing. “A month ago, I had several residents contact me regarding the various proposed mixed use development projects throughout the town. As an over 12-year resident of Manchester, I share your

concerns regarding the impacts, such as traﬃc and other quality of life concerns which come with developments of this nature. Unfortunately, a number of these development plans have been lingering around for many years prior to my becoming a councilman in 2019,” the mayor said. (Development - See Page 4)

“We are requesting from our staff information about vaccinations just to get some information built up so we know who is vaccinated and who is not vaccinated,” Director of the Board of

Ocean County Commissioners Gary Quinn said. Quinn stressed that this is just in the discussion stages. Information is just being gathered at (Vaccines - See Page 7)

Third Mayoral Candidate Steps Forward

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – David Goldstein, 70, is one of three township residents seeking to serve as mayor by running in this November’s general election. He is currently collecting signatures to be on the ballot in No-

vember along with fellow candidates Robert Hudak, 44, who was appointed by the Council in June to replace Mayor Kenneth Palmer and Robert Arace, 27, who announced his desire to run a few days after Hudak was sworn in. Palmer resigned on

June 25 after being appointed to serve as a Superior Court judge in Ocean County. He was elected as mayor in November 2014 and won re-election in November 2018. Hudak was serving his second ter m on the council when he

was appointed by the Manchester Council to serve as mayor until the end of 2021. Manchester has nonpa r t is a n ele c t ion s , meaning that political party isn’t listed on the ballot. All three candidates are Republicans. Goldstein said he

wants to serve as mayor because he feels he can bring change to the township. He feels Hudak will continue to do what has already been done while Arace is too young and lacks the experience to bring (Mayoral - See Page 7)

–Photo by Stephanie Faughnan Army Veteran Ryan Luurtesema shared his concerns about the new outpatient VA clinic. By Stephanie Faughnan BRICK – Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough and Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) met earlier this week with local veteran leaders to discuss plans for a new VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Toms River. “We expect to open the new facility in 2024,” said Kim. “In the meantime, we are going to keep working to improve the situation at the current facility (in Brick) and try to have a seamless effort there.” Brick Mayor John G. Ducey and Toms River Mayor Maurice “Mo” B. Hill, Jr. also sat in on the roundtable discussion held at Brick VFW Post 8867. Members of the press were excluded from the closed-door session to allow veterans to speak (Clinic - See Page 5)

Development: Continued From Page 1

He added that some of the development approvals pre-date him and some of these projects “were the result of builders’ remedy suits brought against the Township by these developers.” Every town is required by state law to provide a certain amount of affordable housing. Developers will sometimes sue the township to force them to provide some affordable housing in their plan, making it larger than the town wants in order to meet that state mandate. This is known as a builders’ remedy lawsuit. Mayor Hudak said he has fought to make necessary and allowable changes

“to these development plans, such as restricting the bedroom count to no more than two bedrooms for the market rate units while also excluding basements from the units.” “I have fought for more commercial projects as opposed to residential development. As a licensed land use planner, I fight with unscrupulous developers who try to shoehorn projects into unsuspecting towns,” Hudak said. He promised to “to fight for our quality of life and ensure that the existing charm of Manchester remains unchanged.” The new mayor said he feels there “is a lot of misinformation being spread around town which is alluding to our residents that we can ‘stop the development,’ but

unfortunately that is not possible. The court system in our state has been very clear on these issues, especially when it comes to developments that includes an affordable housing component. “If the Township were to take action in order to stop such development projects, not only would the Township lose when litigation is brought on by our action, but we would also be forced to pay all the legal costs from both the developer’s and township’s side,” he added. Hudak added that “this regrettably is a state mandate which I have consistently opposed but none the less is strongly supported by Governor (Phil) Murphy and the majority in the State Legislature while also being deemed a constitutional

right by the State Supreme Court.” The mayor said the township did have some means to reduce any quality-of-life impacts in Manchester regarding future development. Hudak is proposing the township take a close look at both the zoning code and the Township’s Master Plan. “In my time on the Council, I successfully fought to purchase developable properties for open space. We have a committee of residents already established but I am looking for additional members who want to get involved in the shaping of these policies for the future,” he said. He called for those seeking to join the committee to e-mail him at rhudak@ manchestertwp.com. “Your ideas and help are what make this township great!”

Clinic:

Continued From Page 1 freely concerning potentially confidential issues. However, both McDonough and Kim responded to questions immediately following the gathering. McDonough confirmed the process of moving and expanding the outpatient clinic from Brick to Toms River would take approximately 30 months. He said he walked through plans for the facility during the roundtable discussions and hoped to schedule other similar gatherings with more veteran groups. Ocean County leads the state with the largest population of veterans residing within its 33 municipalities. The inf lux of veterans from surrounding areas has added to the long waits of those seeking care from the existing James J. Howard Outpatient Clinic on Route 70 in Brick. The quest to replace the Brick facility has been long in the making. Just last year, the federal government halted the procurement process for a new clinic in Ocean County. Kim, joined by Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker, called on the feds to provide answers regarding the abrupt change, with good news coming in 2021. The Department of Veteran Affairs awarded a nearly $61 million lease for a new James J. Howard Community Based Outpatient Clinic to FDS Toms River, LLC on July 30, 2021. According to the contract award, the 20-year lease term includes 68,000 square feet of space and

The Manchester Times, August 21, 2021, Page 5 480 parking spots. Located near the intersection of Hooper Avenue and Caudina Avenue, the new clinic will sit somewhat behind the Toms River Fire Station at 1049 Hooper Avenue. Not only will the facility be larger, but it will also have the capability offer more expansive services to qualifying veterans and their families. “The facility will allow for more things to be done in-house right here in Ocean County,” Kim shared. “We’ll be able to do CT scans and scale up in radiology for example and provide more attention to mental health issues. It’s not just a new façade – we’ll be able to increase services.” Veterans and their families who need inpatient treatment will still need to go to East Orange or other hospitals within the VA healthcare system. “The new facility will continue to be associated with East Orange, but we are going to be doing more specialty care to the clinics,” said McDonough. “The plan is to deploy more specialists to take care of vets here.” Kim confirmed he has also introduced legislation to provide healthcare benefits for National Guard and Reserves members. He estimates that 120,000 – 130,000 service members who wear a uniform are without healthcare. “If you serve our country and you protect our nation, you deserve care,” Kim said. Concerning a particular medical issue, McDonough also responded to questions

regarding burn pit injury claims. The use of burn pits was a common waste disposal practice on military bases and may have resulted in serious injuries to some service members. Many refer to the claims as equivalent to modern-day Agent Orange disability matters. “Veterans who suffer from conditions such as rhinitis, sinusitis or asthma, and who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan should be coming forward with their claims,” stated McDonough. “We’ll make sure that those claims are properly adjudicated, and we have now established through this, this interim rule, as we call it, a presumption that those conditions are covered as service connected.” Ryan Luurtsema, who served in the Army from 2008 until 2016, was one of the participants in the discussions led by government officials. He is the Assistant Director of Military and Veteran Affairs for Ocean County College. Luurtesema pointed out that although New Jersey is the third smallest state in the country, it is the most densely populated in the country as far as military and service members. He called it remarkable that just three clinics serve well over 525,000 veterans and service members. “That’s not counting the surplus population of spouses and dependents who get beneficiary care,” said Luurtesema. “The backlog system of the state is uncanny when it comes to treating veterans in their care and for their needs.” According to Luurtesema, the approval

of the new facility is one thing. However, he sees another issue – even as it exists at the present Brick clinic. “There’s already staffing issues with a smaller facility,” Luurtesema shared. “That’s due to overwhelming appointments and not enough staff to facilitate appointments. There’s another facility approved for Atlantic County. What makes you believe the VA is ready to have staffing for two clinics totaling 225,000 square feet?” “I think the clinics are absolutely valuable and will be utilized to their fullest extent,” continued the Army veteran and advocate. “I think the work in progress should not take years – but needs to be part of the planning points.”

Vaccines:

Continued From Page 1 this point. There has been no decision yet. “If the governor chooses to take us in a different direction on whether we need to wear masks we want to protect not only those who aren’t vaccinated but those who are,” he said. “As far as mandating vaccinations, that is not our job. Everyone has the right to make that choice - whether it is a medical decision, a religious exception, whether they just choose not to do it - but we are certainly going to emphasize to people, think about your fellow worker and the people who work around you every day and get the vaccine.” Quinn appears in the county’s PSA video that urges those able to be vaccinated to get inoculated, whether at a county site or any of the other sites nearby. “It has been proven that in getting the vaccine, even if you get COVID, the effects are minimized than what the case was prior months ago before there was a vaccine,” Quinn added. Quinn added that “we’ll watch the governor (Phil Murphy) does. Our biggest concern are the schools we don’t know what will be happening there. That will be a true factor. Another thing we are being told by some of the professionals is that with this

The Manchester Times, August 21, 2021, Page 7 Delta variant, the virus while high now, it may not stay there and we’ll have to see if the numbers start going down in a couple of weeks.” “We are hoping they are not as high in number as they are now. This keeps changing every day. That is how rapidly it is changing. We want to make sure we are doing everything we can do to protect the people who work for us and staff and be as safe as possible. At the same time, we have

out. I never expected the last year to go the way it did. We’ll change as we have to and make it all work.” At press time, Governor Murphy was recommending the return of mask wearing for those vaccinated as well as those unvaccinated indoors in areas where unvaccinated people could be and in crowded conditions. It is not currently a mandate under an executive order but it matches recommendations by the CDC.

Mayoral:

Continued From Page 1 about change. When asked what he felt was the greatest challenge for the township, Goldstein said he felt the quality of education in the community needed to be improved based on data he saw in a magazine. Goldstein has been a substitute teacher in Manchester and in other school districts in Ocean and Monmouth counties. “U.S. News and World Report didn’t hire me to write the report. It is not my fault they say only 14% of high school kids at Manchester High School are ready to go on to college.” The magazine created a “College Readiness Index” which rated Manchester at 14.9. It’s not a percentage, as Goldstein said, but a general score based on how many kids take advanced placement and other such tests. The Manchester Times asked Goldstein why he wasn’t running for a seat on the Township’s School Board instead to perhaps bring change to that issue. He responded, “I don’t believe that one person on a school board that is set in their ways, can make that much of a difference.” “I have a political science degree which I am proud of,” Goldstein said. He has run several sports league organizations and wants to bring his managerial skills to the role of mayor. He also noted that Manchester was a very Republican community and that “you would have to go a long way to fi nd a mayor candidate a council candidate or a member of the Manchester Republicans who has voted for more Republicans for president than I have.”

to continue to do business and operate as we did during COVID and provide services for the people,” the director added. Quinn said that during a busy summer where residents and visitors have started to enjoy the freedom of going maskless, “all of a sudden you have to take two steps back again. Most people, though, are feeling confident that we will be moving forward and if they have been vaccinated, they feel confident being in public and safe going

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Ocean’s Harbor House Awarded Rare Fellowship

TOMS RIVER – Ocean’s Harbor House announced that it has awarded a “My Life My Choice Prevention Solution Fellowship”, a Program of Justice Resource Institute. They are one of only five congregate care organizations in the United States serving adolescent girls and the only one in the metropolitan area, selected to participate in this national year-long initiative. The other selected organizations are based in Kentucky and Vermont. “We are keenly aware of the need for building capacity and increasing impact in the area of human traﬃcking prevention, particularly among adolescent girls,” stated Alice Woods, Executive Director. “The fact that we have been chosen to do this important work as a Prevention Solution Fellowship Partner illustrates their belief in our organization’s capacity as a service provider to utilize the skills and tools this fellowship provides for effective program-wide commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) prevention.

It also recognizes that depth and breadth of the problem in our region.” The 12-month Fellowship provides Ocean’s Harbor House with consultations from My Life My Choice’s expert trainers, survivors and practitioners. Trainings utilizing the My Life My Choice Exploitation Curriculum, the first comprehensive, survivor-led prevention curriculum in the country, will be provided throughout the agency. “While this is a year-long fellowship, we are committed to sustaining the practices, policies and Commercial Sexual Exploitation Curriculum (CSEC) prevention programming, so that our organization can take a leadership role in shifting knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of those at greatest risk of primary victimization or re-victimization.” For more information about the shelter, support and services provided to vulnerable youth in Monmouth and Ocean counties, visit oceansharborhouse.org.

How is Neuropathy Diagnosed? Neuropathic conditions are diagnosed through a neurological clinic examination utilizing medical technology known as nerve conduction velocity testing and Electromyography (EMG). These diagnostic tests measure muscle response and electrical activity in

Experiencing Neuropathy... People with neuropathy can experience different levels of pain, from tingling and numbness to debilitating burning and shooting pains. For some, neuropathic pain affects sleep, social activities, and even cause depression. Most commonly, pain occurs in the hands

Diagnosing Neuropathy can sometimes be strange…where this condition can develop even when there is no obvious cause, and it may appear some time after the initial injury or infection. To compound the problem, this pain can be challenging to treat successfully, and it is associated with some serious compromise to one’s quality of life. How many treatments have you tried that left you hopeless? Healthcare professionals may offer a variety of treatments, including antidepressants, opioid pain relievers, and lifestyle changes, but neuropathic pain can often be resistant to treatment. To make matters even worse, these treatments can also come with unwanted side effects. For example, taking opioid pain relievers can cause nausea and constipation, and there is also the risk of these drugs becoming addictive. “AFTER 8 TREATMENTS MY IMPROVEMENT WAS 80%.”

4 Natural Antihistamine Foods By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

I was visiting Florida recently and was taken aback by how many people were blowing their nose and it was due to allergies. So many people in all states suffer with allergies year-round, but it may be especially harder in hot, humid conditions were mold spores, weeds, flowers and grasses are abundant! It’s good to know ways to help your body produce its own antihistamine and how to mitigate all the sneezing, itching and runny nose problems. When histamine and other cytokines get out of control, you can experience anaphylaxis which is a life-threatening reaction. Histamine is an ‘exciting’ chemical, it excites and wakes up the brain. This is why antihistamines often cause sedation. How about eating your way to better health? Here are some good ideas to help you improve your diet so it includes more antihistaminic foods. 4 Antihistaminic Foods to Eat Capers. These delicious treats are something I like to put on top of a bagel with some cream cheese and nova, as well as everything seasoning spice. The capers are rich in quercetin. Quercetin and its cousin compound called DHQ (dihydroquercetin) are one of the strongest natural antihistamines known to man. Quercetin-rich fruits like apples and most vegetables will help attenuate allergic reactivity in almost everyone! Supplements are available too, if the capers aren’t enough! Pineapples. Bromelain is the enzyme that fresh pineapple confers and it’s a strong anti-inflammatory enzyme. It can

help with a runny nose and itchy, swollen eyes. It will help with mucus production and allergies by blocking chemicals that cause misery. Bromelain is a popular natural post-surgical supplement because it speeds healing of tissue. Just a note of caution because some people are actually allergic to pineapple. If you are one of those people, then you may also have a cross reactivity to bananas so be careful. Ginger. I like those Ginger Chews® and also crystallized ginger, as well as the type in sushi cuisine. My favorite form of ginger is ginger tea which is easy to make. Ginger is a natural antihistamine and it’s strong. It also helps immediately with a scratchy, raw throat which may occur if you have a lot of phlegm dripping down. Ginger is also thought to help with DNA damage, that’s why some oncologists recommend it. Again, this is a very strong herbal remedy when it comes to controlling cytokines of all sorts, including histamine. Navel Oranges. Vitamin C is a powerful water-soluble antioxidant with many well-documented antihistamine effects. It helps prevent your body from making so much histamine while improving collagen production and immune function. Eating a grapefruit, or orange each day could provide enough C for a mild allergy. Navel oranges are higher in C than blood oranges, generally speaking. If you need supplementation, those are widely available at health food stores.

Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.

The questions often Christopher R. Shea Esq. arises, “What happens if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey. Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.

Shea & Associates 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, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Hey Buddy! Mind Your Beeswax!

Dear Joel, Why can’t some people take a hint? I know a few people who ask me if I’ve tried something or are planning on doing something and when I say no, they won’t stop telling me why I should or giving me advice. I am trying to be polite by not starting a conversation that won’t end well, but they just won’t stop! Answer: We all know a few people like that. Whether they are well-intended or just know-it-alls, it can be exasperating. Try telling them that you appreciate their

knowledge and concer n but that you’re just not thinking about that topic right now. Suggest something else. It may not work but at least you’ll be talking about a topic you enjoy. Thanks for writing, Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566 (800603-CARE (2273). “Home health care with feeling. (“Home Health Care with Feeling”)

Artificial Intelligence Program Partners With Ocean County College TOMS RIVER – Technology industry leader Intel is expanding its Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Workforce Program and partnering with Ocean County College, along with 17 other community colleges across the country in 11 states: Arizona, California, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. This expansion will enable hundreds of thousands of students to land careers in hightech, healthcare, automotive, industrial, and aerospace fields. “We are excited to collaborate with Intel for an artificial intelligence certificate program here at Ocean County College, helping our students to prepare for top-level careers in rapidly growing fields,” said OCC President Dr. Jon H. Larson. “Intel is committed to facilitating the expansion of AI access and expertise, and we’re thrilled to develop a partnership to offer our students a foundation and a pathway to a vital and rewarding profession.” Dr. Joseph Konopka, Vice President of Academic Affairs at OCC, remarked, “Artificial technology is accelerating, as is the need for skilled AI workers. Our students will now be able to join the AI fast track, as they acquire the tools and the vision to continue toward an occupation in a variety of fields, including aerospace, engineering, software development, business, architecture, and much more.” Whom It Helps: Initial markets include students in engineering, business, and computer science-related fields. Students of various disciplines may also find great value in participating, including the business and entrepreneurial fields, behavioral, and psychological sciences, manufacturing, automotive, and other careers, and technical education programs. How It Helps: Community colleges offer the opportunity to democratize AI technology since they attract a diverse array of students with various backgrounds and expertise. The expansion of the program will provide access and opportunities to a broad group of students in these fields, including those in underrepresented and underserved communities and offer the technological skills needed for the job market. Students will learn traditional skills, such as data collection, AI model training, and coding, and will explore the societal impact of AI technology. Additionally, students will develop a social impact of AI project, working closely with teachers and Intel mentors. Why It’s Important: As the country faces record unemployment rates, it is more important than ever to reskill Americans for future employment opportunities. In a 2021 co-branded Dell and Intel survey, AI and machine learning were the areas of study most anticipated to increase in demand over the next three years. According to the same survey, AI skills were assessed as the second most in-demand skill behind cybersecurity. Additionally, 50 percent of community college educators anticipate AI and machine learning (AI/ML) as the area of study most expected to increase in demand over the next three years. At four-year institutions, 64 percent of educators anticipate the largest increase of interest will be in AI/ML studies, followed by cybersecurity. Furthermore, 69 percent of respondents sensed employer demand for AI technical skills increasing, with 73 percent expecting AI literacy skills to become higher in-demand by employers. More Context: Intel launched its AI for Workforce Program, piloted by Maricopa County Community College District (MC-

CCD) in 2020, which provides AI content to community colleges across the nation. Now Ocean County College is a part of the larger program that includes hands-on programming, which expanded access to technology skills needed for current and future jobs. AI Program Expansion Details: Intel is partnering with Ocean County College to expand its AI for Workforce Program, which

will include 18 community colleges in 11 state. Due to COVID-19, the program piloted at MCCCD in 2020 shifted to virtual learning but is designed for both virtual and in-person instruction. As physical distancing requirements are lifted and the concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic decrease, classes will begin in-person at campuses. “Intel has been an amazing partner to work with,” said Ken Michalek, a lecturer in OCC’s

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 21 - aug 27 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your charm can disarm opponents, so use every opportunity to foster understanding. You’ll need plenty of diplomacy to navigate undercurrents at the workplace as the week begins to unfold. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the upcoming week you may feel that you’re stuck between a rock and hard place whenever you try to make a major change. Focus on building support among friends and family. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may suspect that someone is trying to mislead you during the first few days of the week. Have faith in your partner and all your loved ones, because they should prove to be loyal and honest. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may admire someone’s determination and ambition in the week ahead. This can become the motivating force that helps get you headed in the right direction with enthusiasm. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The world can be your oyster, but perhaps you need someone to help you get it open so you can find the pearl. Your job can become all-consuming in the week ahead, but projects may be easier with a cooperative team. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Although your heart is in the right place, be cautious about wearing it on your sleeve. It’s a good idea to be discreet as the week unfolds since some people may misunderstand your meaning. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Frankness

and forgiveness should help you get closer to someone special. You may meet several new people in the week ahead. Some will grow into friends, and some will fade into the background. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your powerful ideas or executive abilities may surprise and impress someone important in the week to come. You might be tempted to spend extra money on extravagances for your home or family. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Focus on fattening your wallet as the week unfolds. Use your intuition to find the right timing to ask for a raise or a favor. If you work hard and don’t waste time, you can go far. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ambition could be the driving force that colors your thoughts in the week to come. Execute your personal business plan or try to make dreams come true with the help of someone who has your best interests at heart. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Seeming overconfident might make you an easy target. Be honest about your training and experience, as well as your limitations, and no one can think you’re exaggerating your talents. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may experience a flash of genius now. You can combine imagination with logic to come up with some excellent ideas. The first part of the week is the best time to obtain cooperation from your co-workers
