He recently received the Patriot Award from the New Jersey Professional Golf Association. By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – A township golfer is being recognized for being above par when it comes to his patriotism and supporting the community. Ed Walls recently received a top award from the New Jersey Professional Golf Association. Walls earned the Patriot Award, given to an individual who exemplifies patriotism through the game of golf, and demonstrates dedication to those who protect and serve our country.
On September 5, Patriot Golf Day, he played a one-man, one-day, 200-hole golf marathon at the Renaissance Country Club. It was the tenth year he had taken on this challenge, raising more than $75,000 for the Folds of Honor foundation, which provides educational scholarships for military families. “I’ve played golf for a long time, first playing with my dad and brother at an early age.

Hope Sheds Light Walk Returns For 8th Annual Event
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – After a year’s absence, walkers donning bright, uplifting yellow shirts returned to the borough boardwalk for the 8th Annual Celebration of Hope Walk. The annual two-mile walk on the Seaside Heights boardwalk is a fundraising effort to benefit HOPE Sheds Light, a non-profit agency that helps those with
addiction and also aids their families. The walk showcased resources for family members and friends impacted by substance use disorder, and included several speakers who shared their story of addiction and regaining their hope to live. A Tree of HOPE was also present along with various vendors, a raffle and banners featuring the faces and
names of those who have passed and had struggled with addiction. Last year’s fundraiser went virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic but this year’s walk, much like the one in 2019, experienced sunny skies and mild temperatures making for a perfect walk day. One of the speakers who shared his

By Bob Vosseller LA K EH U R ST – Lakehurst’s history is intertwined closely with that of Manchester Township. That isn’t too surprising because Lakehurst and the township were all the same place once upon a time. During a recent meeting of the Borough of Lakehurst Historical Society, members were regaled with stories of some of the more colorful historical figures of both communities’ past and some interesting facts about the area by Mike Mahoney, an information services librarian at the Manchester
branch of the Ocean County Library. Mahoney showed a PowerPoint presentation to the audience and noted that Lakehurst became an official municipality in 1921. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the borough but due to the ever-changing conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, plans to celebrate that milestone bir thday were postponed by Borough officials earlier in the year. The LHS maintains a museum across the street from where they meet at the borough com munit y center.

Women’s March Rallies For Reproductive Rights
By Stephanie Faughnan TOMS RIVER – Nearly 200 people flooded Huddy Park as part of the nationwide Women’s March to stand up for abortion access. The mixed crowd of men, women, and children lined the curb of the park’s entrance on East Water Street while numerous passing motorists blared their horns in support. Lynda Fote, president of the Ocean County Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW), addressed the gathering and stated that she takes the attack on women’s reproductive rights quite personally. She graduated from high school in 1964 and college in 1968. (Rallies - See Page 4)

“I spent my adolescence and my young adulthood when birth control was not easily available, particularly if you were young, single, and broke,” shared Fote. “What Roe v. Wade said to us was even if you never contemplate having an abortion, you have the right to control your own body.” Fote said the court ruling gave women of her generation a new lease on life in showing them respect and providing them with options. However, Fote emphasized that recent changes to abortion laws in Texas and Mississippi suggest the need to look for legislative solutions from elected officials rather than appointed ones. “Two weeks ago, the United States Congress passed the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021,” Fote said. “It now goes to the Senate, where the chances of its passing are somewhere between slim and absolutely none.” New Jersey legislators introduced the “Reproductive Freedom Act” a year ago, which Fote believed would make the state the bellwether for the rest of the country. “It will guarantee every woman access to birth control, access to prenatal care, and if she needs it, access to an abortion,” summarized Fote. “And what insurance you have, and how much money you have, will not put a roadblock in the way.” According to Fote, neither State Senate President Steve Sweeney nor Assembly President Craig Coughlin has pushed the bills forward to the Health Committee. She accused both Democrat leaders of getting a

Emma held a sign that read “So Bad Even Introverts are Here,” which didn’t stop her from expressing her feelings. Saying that she learned about reproductive rights at home, Emma found flaws with the concept of interfering with them. Kate added to her daughter’s comments by referring to abortion access was an important part of healthcare. “Banning it (abortion) would fi rst hurt
rape victims,” Emma shared. “There are also people who are not financially ready for it (to carry out a pregnancy).” Larry and Patty Bernson, a couple from Long Beach Island, came to the rally together to show their solidarity for women’s reproductive rights. Larry attended women’s rights marches with his mother before he even met his wife. “We can’t go back,” said Patty. “I’m of an age when I remember how things used to be. A woman needs to be able to make her own choices.” “I think what happened in Texas will

free ride as far as securing votes. “They say they will protect women’s rights because as long as Roe was in action, and the New Jersey courts were supportive, they didn’t have to say the word ‘abortion,’” Fote said. “Those days are gone, and it’s time for them to step up and do their job.” Women of all ages joined the Saturday afternoon protest, many accompanied by their daughters, sons, and husbands. The protesters carried signs with a variety of messages, ranging from coat hanger graphics to calling for men to have vasectomies. Kyle Seiberd, 32, who teaches science in the Toms River school district, was at the demonstration with his mother, Karen Mark. The two wore shirts that read “Girls Just Wanna Do Science” and stressed the importance of women’s rights in general. Mark, 52, said she moved from the Midwest, where she found women’s rights and their voices remained suppressed. She expressed her gratitude that things seemed different on the east coast, a sentiment her son did not want to see jeopardized. “I would hate to see a trend where women continue to flow backward rather than forward,” said Seiberd. “I would hope that we would give women and girls like my students more opportunities rather than less opportunities – whether it is professionally or whether it is with their bodies.” At least two sets of moms attended the rally with young school-aged daughters. Lily Graham, 12, from Forked River, accompanied her stepmother Monique Graham and shared her views. “I think women should have their own

Walls said he was “very excited to receive the news that I received the Patriot Award for the New Jersey PGA Section. It actually is the second time I have been so honored. I have won it now two years in a row, which I believe is a fi rst since the inception of this award by our section...first two-time and first back-to-back recipient to my knowledge.” “Although I do try to wear some interesting and patriotic attire for my Golf Marathon, I don’t believe that played a role in receiving the award. It was mostly due to the number of years I have done a golf marathon to raise money for the Folds of Honor and the generous donations of members, friends, and family that have now eclipsed $100,000 total,” Walls added. The Golf Pro said he plans to attend the section meeting and the Celebration of Golf where all of the award winners will be recognized. “My family has been the most supportive

I am proud to accept it on their behalf,” the golfer said. Walls was among the special award winners named by Tom Flatt, PGA Head Professional at Edgewood Country Club. Flatt was named 2021 NJPGA Golf Professional of the Year The New Jersey Section of the PGA of America (NJPGA) recently announced its 2021 annual award recipients, led by Flatt, who received the highest honor for a PGA Professional within the Section in addition to the Bill Strausbaugh Award, an award given to a golf professional for their efforts to mentor other golf professionals. Flatt was joined by an esteemed list of PGA Professionals who were honored in several categories as 2021 NJPGA Special Award winners. The New Jersey PGA, in conjunction with the New Jersey State Golf Association, plans to recognize the award recipients on October 28 at the Celebration of Golf at Canoe Brook Country Club and at the NJPGA Fall Meeting on October 25 at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club.

History:
Continued From Page 1 Their museum at 300 Center Street is based in the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Ocean County. The Old St. John’s Church was built in 1874 by Irish railroad workers and it is fi lled with various items on display. An old cemetery surrounds the building which opened as a museum in 1993.
Mahoney divided up his presentation between Manchester, Lakehurst and the Whiting section of Manchester. Mahoney noted that while a lot of Dutch settlers came into areas of New Jersey, the English took over the area in 1664. He showed a map revealing an area of the Pine Barrens “which was pretty sparse but sawmills started coming here around 1760.” “Lakehurst was known as Manchester
Village at the time. Ocean County broke away from Monmouth (County) in 1850. On April 6,1865, Manchester was founded. In 1897 Manchester Village was changed to Lakehurst but in 1921 became its own town,” Mahoney said. William Torrey, who passed way in 1891, was an important figure in Lakehurst history. “He married a miss Whitmore who was the daughter of a wealthy British banker. Apparently, her father didn’t

approve of the marriage. He gifted them land in Lakehurst but it was put in her name which was odd at the time. Usually it would be put in the husband’s name,” Mahoney added. Mahoney said, Torrey “didn’t come down to the area until 1841 and then purchased an additional 25,000 acres.” Torrey founded the Village of Manchester in 1850 which became an early industrial center. Torrey’s “main project that he became famous for was the Raritan-Delaware Bay Railroad which started in 1856. In 1861 it got fi nished all the way to Manchester.” Mahoney noted that the area was rich in bog iron. A grist mill which made flour operated in the area. “This area was also rich in cedar timber for ship building. Charcoal was ver y impor tant in the 1800s,” Mahoney said, asking the audience if they knew what a person working the charcoal pits was called. A member of the audience called out, “hurriers.” They were employed to pull and push tubs full of coal along roadways from the coal face to the pit-bottom. Other historical notes included the construction in 1884 of Rogers Hotel built on Union Avenue and owned by Charles Rogers. The hotel was said to be the site of much political activity in the Lakehurst/ Manchester area. Next month the LHS will host speaker Jeff Schenker who will appear in costume portraying Captain Joshua Huddy. Schenker is a member of the Ocean County Historical Society. The program will take place at 7 p.m. on October 20 at the Lakehurst Community Center. Captain Huddy was a commander of a New Jersey Patriot Militia Unit during the American Revolution. He was captured and hung by the British in 1782, having given his life for American independence. The LHS took part in Ocean County History Day held on September 12 on the grounds of the Ocean County Historical Society headquarters in Toms River. LHS members George and Dot Oglesby, Barbara Cummings and Bill Schmidt manned an information table there. Looking ahead to next year, member Kathy Abrahamsen is surveying participants of the last Soup-R-Bowl fundraiser to see how many might wish to return for the event in 2022. The popular fundraiser was canceled last year due to the pandemic. This year’s annual children’s Halloween Bash has also been cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
edITorIAL Signs Of The Times It’s that time of year again. As summer gives way to autumn, we start to see some familiar signs and I mean that literally. In September, you’ll see the white and blue signs featuring a dancer for the annual Greek Festival hosted by St. Barbara’s Church in Toms River which is a popular fall event. On the other end of the county, you’ll see signs promoting the yearly Lakewood Renaissance Faire. That is another popular September event that draws a crowd and provides great family fun for those in Ocean County and beyond. We are coming on the time for other signage, as candidates for council, mayor, school board, and state and county offices will soon start to pop up all over the public roadways. Some of the same signs are lined up along a particular patch of land and I often wonder if that is just a waste of signs. Will eight signs with the same message really convince me to vote for that candidate more than simply the first one I see? You can only vote once. Most of the signs are decked out in varying shades of red, white and blue but you do get the occasional green, purple and yellow signs that stand out a bit more. Last year’s presidential race was a free for all with banners, flags, bumper stickers and signs showing up on homes, front lawns, vacant lots and let’s not forget the rallies that happened on the roads, sea and boardwalks. This year is a gubernatorial race but I’m not sure if it will bring as much excitement. Signs are one thing, and most usually vanish within a few weeks from Election Day but it is also the season to start seeing political bumper stickers as well. Driving around Ocean and Monmouth counties it isn’t too surprising to spot a vehicle with an Obama for President sticker, Trump 2020 or even Trump 2024. I’ve always wondered why a piece of plastic stuck to the back end of my car would persuade someone to vote for a candidate? It seems to date the car – the older the sticker, the older the car. And the usefulness of the sticker is limited to just a few weeks. At least with signs, you can take them down. But when it comes to bumper stickers, they are stuck on for the long run. I’d rather have bumper stickers that have something amusing on them instead – those don’t get old as quickly. If they can cover a scratch on the bumper so much the better. As to flags I think those that featured expletives cross a line of free speech and says more about the flag bearer than the candidate who it criticizes. It is truly American to express your views, even to express them loudly, but is a flag that curses out a political figure truly needed on one’s front lawn? It’s been said that we live in politically polarized times where expression comes with emotion and not always with facts or research. It’s bad enough that this is commonplace in social media, can we at least keep such crude expressions off our front porch? Bob Vosseller Assistant News Editor
Blame Mask Mandates On People Who Don’t Take Virus Seriously One thing we love to do is assign blame, don’t we? If there’s a problem, we’re sure to find a scapegoat. That way, we feel like we’re fighting something. The war on drugs. The war on poverty. We like to fight, and we always need a villain to fight. But the people on TV have us fighting among ourselves. I’ve seen a lot of people misplacing blame. They blame teachers for having the audacity of not wanting to get sick or getting their students sick. They blame the governor for imposing mask mandates in schools. But what they haven’t blamed is the people who let the virus get out of control. We’re almost at 700,000 deaths now. We couldn’t have stopped all those deaths. That’s unrealistic. But we could have stopped some of them. Even if you could stop one person from dying by wearing a mask, isn’t that enough? Isn’t it a small sacrifice to know that you are keeping the people around you safe? We could have listened to doctors, but instead we listened to “news people” on TV. We could have worn masks, but instead we decided that pretending to act tough was more important than being kind. “It takes a village” is a stupid (expletive deleted) saying, but it’s sort of true. We’re all in this together.
But there are people who would rather make us fight each other than fight the virus. If people did what they were supposed to do – quarantine when sick, wear masks, and all that – we would be back in business again. Kids would be back in school without masks. But instead, we all have to suffer because of a small group of entitled people who are too selfish to change their habits for the good of the rest of us. Those are the people who deserve the blame in all of this. There are other countries that took this more seriously. They are going to concerts and the kids are going to school – all without masks, because they worked together and ended this. We could have returned to normalcy already if it wasn’t for people not taking this seriously enough. Terry Andrew Toms River
Matthew Schlosser Is Right For Lavallette
As a Lavallette resident, I am happy to be in such a wonderful community. Lavallette has wonderful, clean beachfronts that are enjoyed by families every year. The Police Department does a nice job in protecting the town all year long. Lavallette Elementary School is one of the best schools to send a child in Ocean County. However, like every other community in Ocean County and New Jersey,
Lavallette has challenges to face in the long-term. Taxes and spending are always a concern, particularly in uncertain economic times as labor, service, and benefits costs are rising across the board. Lavallette is not immune to the f looding issues that have become more commonplace with moderate and heavier rain storms being more frequent. I am voting for Matthew Schlosser for Lavallette Council because I feel he is the right voice, not only to maintain the quality of life Lavallette residents have come to expect, but to successfully help Lavallette meet the challenges I mentioned earlier. Schlosser is the only candidate in the race to actually discuss the challenges so the younger generation can enjoy the Lavallette that has been there for generations prior. This is a symbol of the vision and leadership that makes Matthew Schlosser the right addition to the Lavallette Council. If you are a Lavallette resident, I urge you to cast your ballot this November for independent candidate Matthew Schlosser for Lavallette Council. Pamela Burns Lavallette
Filibuster Stands In The Way Of Progress In 2006, 192 House Republicans voted to renew the Voting Rights Act. Now, we can’t get a single Republican senator to come out and unequivocally support protecting the freedom to vote
for the American people. That tells you everything you need to know about our hopes for passing voting rights legislation without abolishing the filibuster. It’s time for President Biden to recognize this reality and use the power of his office to demand the Senate abolish the filibuster. Supporting voting rights legislation alone is simply not enough. Please, President Biden, we need a strategy. Put the freedom to vote of the American people ahead of any reservations you have about abolishing the filibuster. The stakes are too high to lack your leadership. Sheri Abramson Freehold
Murphy Should Follow Cuomo – Out The Door Throughout this whole pandemic, (Governor Phil) Mur phy did ever ything his “big brother” Andrew Cuomo did. It was like the Brady Bunch, and New Jersey was Jan always following “Marcia Marcia Marcia.” Murphy didn’t care if it was good for New Jersey or not. He just wanted to be one of the cool kids. So he borrowed New York’s playbook even if it didn’t really work for us. Murphy has followed everything Cuomo has done, and he should keep following him right out the door. Just skip the sexual harassment and go. Phil Sipowicz Jackson

Congressman Smith Encourages Global Protections Against Child Predators
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Recently, on United Nations’ World Tourism Day, Rep. Chris Smith (R – 4th), an international leader in the fight against human trafficking, said that nations can both “recognize tourism’s significant contributions to the world economy, but must also work hard to combat and end international sex tourism to protect those who are most vulnerable - especially children - from exploitation.” “We can - we must - do both,” said Rep. Smith, author of International Megan’s Law to combat child sex tourism and four additional anti - trafficking laws. “Working together, the community of nations, international transportation and hospitality industries, and nongovernmental organizations can all ensure that the modalities of tourism, here to help bring people to new lands and share cultures, are also the eyes and ears on the front lines to help protect the women and children exploited by sex tourism.” Authored by Smith, International Megan’s
Law provides important tools to combat child sex tourism by tracking the travel of known pedophiles and alerting countries who can then deny them entry. The law, which authorized the Angel Watch Center, has resulted in more than 15,500 notifications of planned travel by convicted child sex offenders - with 6,000 denied entry to date. “International Megan’s Law is a major prevention strategy targeting child sex tourism,” said Smith. “The law requires convicted child sex offenders who travel abroad to provide notice to the U.S. Government - via the Angel Watch Center - prior to departure of all planned destinations, or face a significant jail term commensurate with a convicted child sex abuser not reporting to local law enforcement.” “Upon receipt of the travel itinerary, the U.S. government informs the destination country or countries of those plans, empowering them with actionable information
to render the child predator inadmissible,” Smith said. Additionally, International Megan’s Law requires the passport of every convicted sex offender to contain the following message out of an abundance of caution that some may fail to include their true destination when filing: “The bearer was convicted of a sex offense against a minor and is a covered sex offender pursuant to 22 United States Code Section 212(b).” Smith’s law was named in honor of Megan Kanka - the 7-year-old girl who was killed in 1994 by a convicted sex offender living on her street in Smith’s hometown of Hamilton. Working with Megan’s parents, Smith introduced the legislation, which passed the House of Representatives in 2010, 2014 and 2016 and finally cleared the Senate and was signed into law later that year. While much progress has been made to combat the scourge of international sex tourism, more work remains to be done, said
Smith, whose most recent legislation to reauthorize the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 - the Nation’s landmark legislation written by Smith to combat human trafficking - expands International Megan’s Law. Introduced earlier this year, Smith’s Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2021 reauthorizes funding for the Angel Watch Center; expands International Megan’s Law to ensure that sex offenders register upon return to the U.S. after living in foreign countries; requires passport identifiers for sex offenders moving or residing outside the U.S.; and creates a minimum standard in the annual Trafficking in Persons Report - established by Smith’s TVPA - to eliminate international sex tourism through arrests, prosecutions, and convictions. “We must continue to do everything we can to stop predators from harming the most vulnerable and innocent among us,” Smith said.
Governor’s Program Will Support New Hires For Small Businesses TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy today announced that the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) will begin implementation of the Return and Earn program. This new initiative will provide a $500 incentive for unemployed workers reentering the workforce and receiving job training from businesses with 100 or fewer employees. “Throughout this pandemic, I have heard
much about the issues facing small businesses and the dedicated, hard-working men and women who enable their success,” said Governor Murphy. “Our Administration is committed to assist businesses in hiring workers, while providing benefits to those entering and re-entering the workforce that will set them up for success in their new jobs and their future careers. This program will help both businesses and their workers,

and is yet another step that we have taken to boost our economy.” “The Murphy Administration is committed to doing everything we can to help our workers and businesses overcome the labor challenges of the economic recovery,” said Department of Labor Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo. “The Return and Earn program will assist New Jerseyans in returning to the workforce, and provide employers with the resources they need to fill the vital positions that will allow them to grow and thrive. The pandemic may have put our workers through the ringer, but this Administration is prepared with the tools to get every Garden State worker back on track and earning a steady income.” Facilitated by NJDOL’s Business Support Unit, Return and Earn will take advantage of New Jersey’s existing On-the-Job Training infrastructure to provide wage reimbursement support to New Jersey employers that hire eligible applicants with identifiable skills gaps. Employers will then be reimbursed for 50% of the wages paid for regular hours worked during the contracted employer-provided training period. Employers can receive the wage subsidy for up to 6 months, up to the cap of $10,000 per Return and Earn employee and are limited to a total Return and Earn subsidy across all employees of $40,000. NJDOL is currently working on the execution of this program, including developing a streamlined online application process. The general process and eligibility criteria are as follows: • NJDOL will work with employers to identify prospective candidates for avail-
able positions. • The employer will provide substantive On-the-Job Training at their location or, depending on circumstances, utilize approved virtual training, that result in skill badges or industry-recognized credentials. • Eligible applicants are private and notfor-profit employers with up to 100 full-time employees. • Candidates must be New Jersey residents working full-time (minimum 32 hours per week). • Seasonal, part-time, commission-based, or 1099 positions are not eligible. Additionally, many workers will be eligible for supportive services like childcare and transportation reimbursement, which have been barriers for many re-entering the workforce. More information will be issued by NJDOL in the coming days. Employers can visit NJ.gov/labor/returnandearn to express interest in this program and receive application information as it becomes available. The Return and Earn program is being executed in collaboration with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) and the Office of Innovation, and is part of the Murphy Administration’s whole-of-government approach to support to the business community and its workers. New Jersey job seekers can visit CareerServices.nj.gov for help finding gainful employment opportunities. NJDOL offers a wide variety of programs including job search help, résumé and interview guidance, networking advice, education and training, one-on-one support, and services Government - See Page 11)

For most of my adult life I was a funeral director which required me to work weekends. I would go to bars by myself because I had to get my party time in. I felt my day off was wasted if I didn’t get wasted.” It was his dog Karma that led him to want to change his life and to recognize that he needed help. “I loved this dog more than myself.

Providing wage replacements will remove the burden of training new employees while also developing our state’s talent pool at a time we need it most.” “The pandemic has changed the workplace as we knew it and more must be done to reinforce New Jersey’s workforce now. Ensuring that small businesses have the employees they need with the proper training necessary is vital to our economic recovery,” said Assemblyman Benjie Wimberly. “Programs such as the Return and Earn program are key to addressing current staff shortages and preparing workers for a successful transition back into employment. We’re supporting New Jersey small businesses and families through these opportunities.” “Return and Earn will go a long way in solving a critical need for employers to stock their talent pipeline and, at the same time, supporting the critical upskilling needs of our employees,” said John Sarno, President of the Employers Association of New Jersey.
I moved to Toms River to be closer to my mother and start a new life. I was drinking every day with physical and mental consequences. At this point my dog is my only source of happiness. “Then one day I found out my dog had cancer. All I did was cry, hold her and drink. A few nights later I was in my kitchen drunk looking at my countertop completely littered with empty beer bottles and I thought, you just found out your dog has cancer and this is how your living? “That moment was my personal rock bottom. The only way my girl could get the best personal care that she deserved is that I had to be at 100%. Six days later I quit drinking, I joined AA and Hope Sheds Light. That first day sober I was enraged at alcohol. It
was like an old friend who had betrayed and hurt me because that was exactly what it was,” he said. “I had to give my girl back to God but because all the work I put into my recovery, I was able to say goodbye with a healthy mind. That day, I had the serenity to accept what I could not change. I accepted that my greatest hardship of losing my dog led a pathway to my greatest peace, sobriety. I quit drinking for my dog but I stayed sober for me.” More than 2,000 people walked during the event, according to HSL Recovery Center Manager Heather Price. Donations can still be made to HOPE Sheds Light by visiting their website at hsl.charityweb.net/ hopeshedslight/walk/

Ocean Of Love Radiothon Hits Its Target To Help Children With Cancer
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Four days outside on a sky-high scaffold might not seem like the ideal place to be but for a popular radio personality, it was the least he could do to help children with cancer. This marked the 23rd Billboard Radiothon for the non-profit organization Ocean of Love. It reached its goal of $109,000 at the conclusion of the event which ran from September 20-23. Executive Director Theresa Segul said the money will provide “financial and emotional support so that children with cancer can ex-
perience ‘normal’ joys of childhood, knowing their lives are significant and meaningful to each and every one of us.” Previously, the benefit was hosted by Townsquare Media and featured radio personality Andy Chase. While Chase is no longer with that group, he said he was excited about the continuation of this event and that Beasley Media Group’s WRAT 95.9 FM became the new event sponsor. While Chase was still highly involved with the effort, it was WRAT radio personality Gotts who spent many hours on the top of the 30-foot billboard based at the Lowes/
Target parking lot at 1331 Hooper Avenue. Several community organizations such as the Ocean County 4-H Club came out to showcase what they do in the perimeter near the tower during the event. Even Santa Claus stopped by for an early visit to Ocean County to add to the fun. Gotts worked from that location updating the public and asking for donations to reach its goal. The annual event has raised more than $2 million since it began in 1998. Chase said Gotts was the perfect person to take on the mantle of the Billboard dweller up high saying, “he’s crazy but the most important thing is that he has a heart of gold.”
WRAT Program Director and Operations Manager Carl Craft said the station’s coming aboard to support Ocean of Love was an easy yes. “It wasn’t an ‘if’ it was a ‘when and how.’ “Being part of this incredible event is truly a special moment for us. I’m part of the unfortunate people who have been directly affected by cancer,” Craft added. Gotts told Jersey Shore Online.com during a break on his third day on the scaffold that “the hours up here don’t even matter. I’m counting the money. I’m counting donations. This is my first year doing this and kudos to Andy Chase. If it wasn’t for him, I’d be lost right now as (Radiothon - See Page 27)

Potential Brain - Changing Benefits Of Hearing Aids
A fairly recent report published in Frontiers in Neuroscience (Feb. 2020) adds to a growing body of research connecting the use of hearing technology to benefits that go beyond the ability to hear. It further bolsters the importance of early hearing loss treatment for overall patient health. Studies have long linked hearing loss and other conditions such as cognitive decline in older adults, with data showing evidence of… • Accelerated brain shrinkage • Five-fold risk of dementia • Earlier onset of decline A University of Maryland study published in 2018 found that hearing aids not only improve auditory ability in seniors but also may restore cognitive and neural function. In the present study, researchers sought to
better understand the source of neurocognitive deficits in presbycusis and the potential modifying effects of hearing technology. Twenty-eight adults with untreated mild to moderate hearing loss were fit with hearing aids and monitored for six months. The results from the experiment group after wearing hearing aids for six months confirmed gains in speech perception and cognitive performance. The outcomes of this study provide evidence that clinical intervention with well-fit digital hearing aids may promote more typical cortical organization and functioning and provide cognitive benefit.

How To Freeze Herbs And Veggies And Why You Should By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Food shortages are continuing as grocery stores face supply chain issues and fewer deliveries. I highly recommend that you learn to freeze some things for the winter season. It’s also a good idea if you live in snowy areas and don’t feel like driving out in a blizzard to get one lemon! Here’s how you do it: Parsley. Parsley is known as a blood cleanser, and diuretic. Take a bunch and cut off the stems, and wash them well. Spread them out on a clean towel and dry them the best you can. Try to get as much water off as possible. You can chop them nicely if you want to, but this is optional. Once dry, put them in a little storage bag and seal tightly getting out as much air as you can. Kale. Kale contains many anti-cancer compounds and antioxidants. Take a kale bunch and cut it into pieces then wash it very well. Drain it and pat it dry with paper towels. Lay the pieces out on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Freeze that for an hour, or even overnight then take it out and you’ll have individual pieces of kale. Store those in a big storage bag. If you don’t do it this way, you’ll wind up with one big green glob that’s hard to work with! Carrots. I cut off the green tops and the very ends of the carrots, then peel them. Rinse them and chop into slices. Blanch the carrots for 3minutes in hot water, and cold water. Lay the slices out on a cookie sheet lined with wax
paper. Dry them off completely. Freeze the whole tray for a few hours and then transfer to freezer bags. Carrots contain beta carotene which converts to vitamin A in the body, and you need A for good eyesight, beautiful skin and a strong immune system. Rosemary and Thyme. Every rice dish and soup I make contains rosemary and thyme. The compounds in both rosemary and thyme exert strong antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory actions on the body. Rinse them and then remove the leaves off the sprigs and put a tablespoon of herb into each cube of an ice cube tray. Then pour some good olive oil over each “cube” and freeze the whole tray. This does not impact the quality of your oil, don’t worry. When ready to use it, just put a cube into your soup and cook with it. Lemons. I use lemon juice in my marinades, smoothies and teas. Honestly, I never want to be without lemons! Wash the lemons well and slice them or cut into wedges. Dry them and put into your labeled storage bag and freeze. You can freeze zested lemon rind too, store it in a small glass container. To maintain freshness, make sure your fruits, vegetables and spices are as dry as possible and use a straw to siphon out all air in the bag as you seal it. If you’re interested in freezing more fruits and veggies, I have a longer version of this article posted at my website suzycohen.com.

Officials Give Safety Precautions After Fatal West Nile Case
By Alyssa Riccardi NEW JERSEY – After the state of New Jersey has reported one confi rmed death associated with the West Nile Vir us (WNV), officials are urging residents to take precautions. The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
is asking people to protect themselves from mosquito-borne diseases with steps to reduce mosquito populations on their properties. Currently, New Jersey has 14 WNV human cases, three confirmed and 11 probable, reported in the following counties: Bergen (2), Burlington (3), Camden (2), and one each in Essex, Gloucester,
Middlesex, Passaic, Somerset, Ocean and Monmouth. Normally there are about eight WNV infections reported per year. This year the WNV activity in mosquitoes is also high, with more WNV positive mosquito pools found this year compared to fiveyear averages. The Camden County man who passed
from the virus was in his 60s and became ill in mid-July. He has been attributed to WNV neuroinvasive disease. The months of August and September are when most WNV cases are reported in the state. “It is important to remind residents to continue to take precautions to protect themselves against mosquito bites,” NJDOH Commissioner Judith Persichilli said. “Using an insect repellant and avoiding being outdoors when mosquitos are active are just some of the steps residents can take to stay safe from mosquito-borne illnesses.” People get the WNV disease when bitten by a mosquito that has fed on an infected bird. WNV is not directly transmitted from birds to humans. For many people, the virus causes asymptomatic infection or a mild to moderate illness typically with a fever. People over age 50 and people with weak immune systems are at greater risk of developing severe illness. About one in 150 persons will develop a more severe form of the disease, with symptoms such as severe headache, high fever, neck stiff ness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis. “We are seeing an increase in mosquitos at present due to the recent flooding from Ida,” Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette said. “DEP is working closely with every county’s mosquito control program and posting safety guidance for • residents on our social media channels. New Jersey residents can help stay safe by making sure to remove any standing water in yards and to cover any empty containers that can hold water for more than three days.” To protect against mosquito borne diseases, residents should: • Apply EPA-registered insect repellant • Avoid being outdoors during dawn and dusk when mosquitos are most active • Wear long sleeves and long pants Cover crib, stroller and baby carrier with mosquito netting • Repair holes in screens to keep mosquitoes outside and use air conditioning when possible New Jersey’s WNV surveillance, control, and prevention activities involve the coordinated efforts of a number of federal, state and local agencies including: NJDOH, NJDEP, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State Mosquito Control Commission, the Rutgers Center for Vector Biology, and local health and mosquito control agencies. NJDOH’s weekly surveillance reports are online at: nj.gov/health/cd/statistics/ arboviral-stats. N.J. arboviral activity in mosquitoes is available at: maps.vectorsurv.org/arbo. For more information on WNV, visit NJDOH’s West Nile webpage at nj.gov/ health/cd/topics/westnile.shtml and NJDEP’s mosquito webpage at nj.gov/dep/ mosquito.

Inside The Law Why A Survey Is Essential For Successful Closing?
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. During the process of purchasing a home, many buyers are concerned with the bottom line and look for ways to cut costs. One of the fi rst items they may choose to forego to save money is to opt out of ordering a survey. This article is intended to provide information which will assist the purchaser in making a well informed decision whether to obtain or forego a survey. Many purchasers are not aware of all the various important components that a survey can disclose. A survey is not just a simple drawing showing boundary lines and location of the dwelling, but it also delineates right of ways, easements, encroachments, and/or gaps between property lines. The survey can also confirm the location of a water way, an existing improvement and determine whether all the structures on the property you are looking to purchase are within the property boundary lines such as sheds, pools, retaining walls and fences. Perhaps the most important pieces of information a survey will provide are the property’s zoning classification, dimension and size, which will allow you to determine if the property conforms to the local lot size requirements. Once the survey is obtained your attorney will forward it to the title company, who will also research the information contained therein. If the survey accurately shows that there are no property line encroachments then the title company will not require any exceptions in its policy, which will allow the title company to provide coverage and defend against any-
one who, in the future, challenges the accuracy of the property lines. If you do not have an accurate and current survey prior to closing then any disputes, whether it is with the seller, a neighbor or a governmental agency, as to the location of a fence, shed, or any larger structure such as a pool, deck or an addition will become yours to resolve. These disputes can be costly and you possibly may be precluded from seeking recourse from the previous owner. The basic survey cost is around $650800 and of course the cost may be more if the property is very large or has irregular shape. If you chose to have metal stakes installed at the corners then that may increase the cost of the survey. These markers are important for those homeowners who, after making the purchase, want to install a fence, pool, shed, or an addition to the dwelling. The purchase of a home or lot may be overwhelming but the attorneys at R.C. Shea and Associates can assist you through that process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full-service law fi rm 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.

Around The Jersey shore Visitors Go Green At Shamrock By The Sea Irish Festival
–Photo By Bob Vosseller What would an Irish festival be without a bagpipe band or two? Bagpipers were seen at the close of the recently held Shamrock By The Sea Irish Festival in Seaside Park. By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE PARK – We’re only about five months away from the return of the Ocean County Saint Patrick’s Day Parade but that didn’t stop a lot of visitors to the borough’s marina from going green in support of the Irish. The Shamrock By The Sea Irish Festival featured various vendors, bag pipe music and other musical entertainment in late
September. The free event also filled a field near the Seaside Park Marina on J Street. The day-long activity served as a fundraiser for the Ocean County Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee which is looking to return with its regular emerald-lined parade rolling through Seaside Park and Seaside Heights in March.

When asked how well he can sleep up in the tower during the evening with the occasional car passing by, he said, “if you think an alarm clock is annoying you should hear the trucks going by at like 3 a.m. They are screaming.” Gotts added, “Andy Chase has a great saying if you beep don’t be cheap.

Shamrock By The Sea served as a fundraiser for the parade as well as a fun community event of its own. There were a number of Irish craft vendors, an area for wee ones to enjoy some children’s activities and another area where adults could quench their thirst with a pint of Guiness/Harp/Smithwicks/Irish Cider. There was some Irish step dancing observed and food to purchase. There were performances by the Ballyhaunis and whether you were Irish or not, you could enjoy being Irish during the day. The event also featured the Shamrock and Thistle Pipes & Drums, a popular fixture in Ocean County.

It really affects the families and how they get back and forth to the doctors and Sloan Kettering.” He commended Ocean of Love “for keeping these kids happy. Theresa (Segul) is heaven. We didn’t know where to start but they know how to keep the kids staying positive knowing they have this horrible disease. She does it. She’s a saint and so is Andy Chase. Everyone who works as part of Ocean of Love are great and this is how the whole community comes together.” “People are meeting new friends now, talking with each other and we are getting these donations for families here in Ocean County. It stays right here. It is all for a great cause. The kids are dealing with cancer so the least I can do is deal with the rain and weather and not sleeping.”
Many came sporting varying shades of green. Others simply stopped by to see what was happening and to browse the various tables. A large American flag was folded with music playing and attendees watching to signify the close of the day.

Local Man Arrested For Not Registering As A Sex Offender
By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – A Manchester man has been arrested after failing to register himself as a Megan’s Law Sex Offender, officials said. On September 28, Ralph Downey, Jr., 21, was charged with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender when he did not meet his annual registration requirement with any law enforcement agencies. He was arrested without incident by officers of the Manchester Township Police Department and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Megan’s Law Unit. “Since 1994, Megan’s Law requires certain sex offenders to register with their local police departments whenever they move and/ or change their residential address or place
of employment. Failure to comply with this obligation is a third-degree crime,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said. Anyone with relevant information regarding this case - or others violating Megan’s Law requirements - should contact Sgt. John Argento of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027 ext. 2903. The information may be provided anonymously. For further information, visit the State Police Sex Offender Internet Registry at: njsp.org/sex-offender-registry/index.shtml. The charges referenced are merely accusations and the public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

This school has done a lot for me personally and I couldn’t be happier to give back,” said Paul Altero, co-founder and CEO of Bubbakoo’s. The school will host the restaurant as well its sister company, Toss’em Wing Factory, and Koo’s Coffee Co, which serves Starbucks products and grab ‘n’ go items. Altero had earned his Associate’s in Business Administration in 1993 before going on to the University of Delaware for a bachelor’s degree program in hotel, restaurant, and institutional management. “It was 100 percent the right choice,”

Altero said of his decision to attend OCC. “How could it not be a great choice? It’s affordable, and you get a quality education. ... Community college is an awesome option.” And perhaps quick ser ve meals to price-conscious students was also the right choice. Bubbakoo’s is working with OCC to add lower-priced menu options to address student food insecurity. The company has also committed to partner with the School of Business and Social Science, which includes a Hospitality program, to offer students opportunities to work within the organization. Altero and Bill Hart opened the first Bubbakoo’s Burritos in Point Pleasant in 2008. They offered customers to build what they want and everything is made to order. The company has since grown to 55 locations in nine states, with more than 100 on the way.

Around The Jersey shore Cybersafe Cybersecurity Camp A Success
TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College held two inaugural sessions of its CyberSafe Cybersecurity Camp in late August, with great success. A group of 24 students from Brick Memorial High School traveled to campus for a morning workshop, held in-person, while a afternoon session was conducted virtually for 20 other Ocean County middle and high school students who registered individually. “The purpose of the camp,” said OCC Computer Science Lecturer Jonathan Weiss, “was to expose the students to cybersecurity principles, disciplines, tools, and job opportunities. It emphasized discussion of security concepts, followed by hands-on exercises and training in the use of industry standard tools. “The morning students were provided specially constructed laptops, which ran the software necessary for them to follow along with the various exercises and activities,” Weiss added. “The afternoon students were given instructions on how to load the necessary software on their own laptops.” The first day of the camp, Weiss explained, the students introduced themselves, learned the ethical considerations and responsibilities associated with cybersecurity and its toolsets, and received a tour of the provided cybersecurity workstation environment. On day two, campers learned about online safety, and how to protect their personal devices and cell phones. They were then taught how to administer user accounts and security permissions across both Windows and Linux computers. The following day of the camp was devoted to codes and cryptography. The campers “were broken into teams and given the information necessary to crack three simple ciphers,” Weiss stated. “They also ran software used by security professionals and ethical hackers to break bad passwords using a dictionary of commonly used words. Finally, they heard stories about the Enigma Machine, Hedy Lamarr, and Navajo Code Talkers.” On day four, the students learned about how fi rewalls work to secure networks, and configured a firewall rule to block their access to Google. They learned how to scan a network to find vulnerable services, and finished the day drawing a secure network. And, on the final day, said Weiss, “campers saw a video from Representative Andy Kim introducing the Congressional Application Challenge and were given tips on developing a winning computer application. They then got to look at bad programming practices that lead to security vulnerabil-
–Photo courtesy Ocean County ities, and they figured out how to make bad programs break. The camp concluded with a discussion of cybersecurity careers and the curriculum options at OCC that support them.” Via anonymous exit questionnaires, many campers stated that they found the camp very useful and educational, and several plan to learn more about cybersecurity and the Congressional Application Challenge sponsored by Representative Kim’s office and the College. Student responses to the camp were, in fact, unanimously positive. “I enjoyed getting to use Linux, Kali, and MetaSploitable,” said one student. “It was an eye-opening experience and really enjoyable. I really don’t have any complaints. Everything made sense and had made me consider a cybersecurity job. You guys did a great job!” “I liked the hands-on coding and learning how to hack and administer things,” another remarked. One camper wrote: “Things I liked: (1) learning some code, (2) technology careers explanation, (3) learning how to make a secure network, (4) learning how to communicate with my peers. Conclusion: very fun camp. I enjoyed it a lot.” Another stated: “I thought this week of cybersecurity camp was very informative. Coming into this week, I wasn’t certain what to expect or if I would like it. By the end of the week, I really enjoyed it, and I learned a lot more about the importance of cybersecurity. What I liked most about this cybersecurity camp was the coding. I liked learning more new commands. Although cybersecurity may not be the path I want to take in my life, I learned a lot about cybersecurity that can help further my education. I will continue learning more about cybersecurity, and the field of technology. I think that OCC should continue offering camps for students who are seeking more knowledge about cybersecurity.” Ocean County College hopes to make the Cybersecurity Camp a summer tradition to attract promising high school students to this exciting and growing field!

Around The Jersey shore Italian Heritage, Columbus Day Parade Returns This Weekend
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS –This weekend marks the return of an Ocean County autumn tradition featuring the celebration of Italian-American heritage coordinated by the Ocean County Columbus Day Parade Committee. The celebration includes an Italian Heritage Festival starting Friday evening and continues through Sunday when the 30th Annual Ocean County Columbus Day Parade takes place. After a year’s interruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual Columbus Day Weekend Italian Festival is back and will take place along Grant Avenue in Seaside Heights, between Ocean Terrace and W Central Avenue. As always, the festival will feature a variety of delicious food and Italian specialties, craft and merchandise vendors, and entertainment. The parade will step off at 1 p.m. on October 10. The parade will march down the Boulevard and features marching bands, floats, antique cars, and various organizations and groups. “The parade has become one of the most ethnic in the state and is the highlight of the three-day Italian Festival,” Parade Chairman Michael Blandina said. He added, that the “Parade Committee is proud to be celebrating our 30th Anniversary this year. As we celebrate our Italian Heritage and Culture this October, we will also be recognizing essential workers. Over the last year and a half essential workers put them-
selves on the line each and every day taking care of our needs during the pandemic.” Blandina said the “Parade Committee would like to honor them during this year’s parade and festival for all of their efforts on behalf the public. We hope to add additional floats and have essential workers on those floats so that they can be recognized accordingly for all of their efforts over the last year and a half.” “We are also hoping to add signage to the floats to recognize and honor these workers. For those essential workers who are participating as walkers in the parade we hope to add banners in front of them. We work hard each year to make the Columbus Day Parade and Italian Festival better than the year before,” Blandina added. He said “the Parade Committee consists of Band Chair Phyllis Shindle, Groups and Organization Co-Chair Nora and Clarence Davis, Antique Car Chair Luigi Luongo and Float Chair Hank Shindle.” “Many of your annual favorites will be returning and we will welcome new organizations and groups for the first time this year,” Blandina added. Blandina noted that the Parade Committee could always use more members and invited “anyone interested in his or her heritage and culture to join the Columbus Day Parade Committee. Civic minded individuals who might be able to assist as a volunteer are always welcome. Any organizations that wish to participate should contact the Parade Committee.”

By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – A Toms River resident was one of eight women who were recently recognized at the annual Phenomenal Women Under 40 award ceremony hosted by the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. The fundraising event, held on September 22 in Farmingdale, along with a summer-long 50/50 raffle, raised $40,000 towards leadership experiences for local Girl Scouts. The money also funds membership fees for girls who want to become Girl Scouts but whose families are facing financial hardship. “We are proud to honor and celebrate phenomenal women who go above and beyond to make our communities better places through their work and volunteer service,” said Eileen Higgins, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, which serves nearly 9,000 girls in Ocean and Monmouth counties. For this year’s Phenom recipients, they had to be selected from a public nomination process. They also needed to be “making a positive difference every day as health care professionals, educators, business owners and nonprofit leaders,” Teri O’Connor said, chairperson of Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore’s board of directors. “The Phenom honorees are tremendous role models for our Girl Scouts, aspiring to be leaders who make our world a better place,” O’Connor said. Chelsea Masterson, from Toms River, is owner of Chelsea’s Messy Kitchen serving Ocean County. She’s also a digital managing editor at Townsquare Media South Jersey, on-field emcee for Jersey Shore BlueClaws and hosts the podcast, “Her Product Lab.” Masterson is an active Girl Scout volunteer,

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in
addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology. After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office,

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 9 - OCT 15 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): It takes two to start an argument. Play some outdoor sports or games where competitiveness can be expressed without being abrasive. The week ahead may cause you to face some pushback. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some people may admire your engaging and independent spirit. More serious souls who are being tested by personal challenges might resist changes. Avoid breaking any of the rules as the week unfolds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You deserve some euphoric moments. A mental breakthrough during the week ahead may illuminate a clear path ahead. You may suddenly understand the mechanisms behind something essential to your well-being. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take pride in what you possess but don’t allow it to get in the way of accepting responsibility for what you have. Once committed to a course of action it may be difficult to escape from obligations in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the upcoming week, you might be intent on winning but you must remember to remain fair and considerate. Listening to a word from someone wise can make your wallet fatter. Avoid forming new romantic and business alliances at this time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Quick thinking and an eye for detail can give you the advantage in your occupation. You might not get what you want but you should get what you need in the week to come. Any peacemaking attempts may create awkwardness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Even when you are left in the dark, you know how to find the light switch. In the week ahead, you might be forced to blindly feel your way through. Handle minor misunderstandings with care so they do not turn into problems. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use common sense and logic to keep your spirits up if you experience insecurities. This isn’t a good week to go against the crowd, challenge public opinion or gamble with your stockpile of resources. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What you say could be more important than what you do. If someone close seems doubtful, be reassuring and say calming things. In the week ahead, casual flirtations shouldn’t be taken seriously. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t turn away from compliments. It’s not bragging if it’s true. Errors and breakdowns that come to your attention now indicate that the week ahead might be a time to consider a new way of handling your affairs. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Those who know you well will likely trust your judgment, but others may be cautious or skeptical. This week consider a revision of your spending habits. Discuss your options with trustworthy advisers. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you anticipate financial problems, you might still be surprised when something unexpected occurs. In the week to come, you might be too carefree and lose traction unless you come up with alternative solutions.
