By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER - The township’s Tuskegee Airmen Community Park was named to honor the famous 332nd Fighter Group that became part of the 15th Air Force. Now that park is about to get an upgrade. Mayor Robert Hudak recently announced that the upgrade would include new playground equipment and the rehabilitation of basketball courts. The park currently includes two basketball courts, three playground pieces for all age groups and spring-mounted airplanes, a picnic area, a

Hudak said the State Department of Community Affairs has awarded Manchester with a $80,000 grant, through their Local Recreation Improvement Grant (LRIG) program. Out of several hundred applicants, Manchester was among 162 that were awarded a grant and is tied for (Upgraded - See Page 5)
Social Services Workers Ask County For Hazard Pay
By Stephanie Faughnan TOMS RIVER – About a dozen members of CWA Local 1088 showed up at the Ocean County Board of Commissioners meeting to appeal for hazard pay for their work during the pandemic. CWA Local 1088 represents social services and clerical employees of the Ocean County
Board of Social Services. Union officials presented the county’s governing body with a petition asking for an appropriation of funds to their workers. The union workers, all dressed in red, and carrying protest signs, sat in the front two rows of the county meeting room. They were not disruptive and were the first to speak when the public
New Superintendent Welcomed
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Teachers, students, parents and administrators welcomed John Berenato as the district’s new superintendent during a recent Board of Education meeting. He previously served as Assistant Superintendent of the Little Egg Harbor school district. Berenato was approved by a unanimous vote. Board member Melanie Biscardi, who served as chair of the Superintendent Committee, explained how he was chosen. She noted that the search began “with a needs assessment questionnaire that was posted on our website and our town’s website. It asked what are the most important issues that we as a school district are concerned about. Your answers are what drove our search. You told us and we had that

Official Wants Dog Park In County Project
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Township officials questioned whether a dog park that was initially proposed by Ocean County was part of the current plan. Councilman James Vaccaro cited a recent story in The Manchester Times regarding the plans for a new county park located along Route 571 that would feature a park for dogs. This 250-acre facility will be the county’s 28th park and will serve both passive and recreational needs, according to Board of Ocean County Commissioners Deputy Director Virginia E. Haines. She noted the first part of the park would be from “the railroad track to Ridgeway Boulevard.” She noted the passive area (Dog Park - See Page 18)

He provided ongoing open lines of communication with the community and the staff. With a nickname of 24, Mr. Beranato wants to take us to the next level,” Biscardi said. Former Superintendent David Trethaway retired after 14 years as the district’s educational leader. He received many accolades and best wishes on his retirement.

as a former first grade and fourth grade inclusion teacher. He is aware of our atrisk students and how we can help them. He knows that we need to remediate and accelerate all of our learners, all the while being mindful of our budget,” Biscardi added. She said Berenato will be looking at chronic absenteeism, math and language arts and will examine dual enrollment and the possible addition of academies within the high school “He would like to do more with the Joint Base. He sees how early education from pre-k through 3rd grades, middle and high school grades are truly valuable,” Biscardi added. He wants to look at shared services for us to save money but also bring in revenue to our district. He is well versed in the use of technology. He wants to listen to the staff, students and families of this great community and see how we can make this district even better than what it is today. He truly takes pride in what he does and it was definitely evident in our interviews. Berenato started as a Supervisor of Curriculum in Springfield Township where he assisted in providing leadership for preschool through 6th grade educational programs. He managed the collection and analysis of student achievement data. “He observed and evaluated staff. He collaborated with district literacy coaches to identify needs and developed support cycles for staff. He delivered in-service programs. He learned how to help the military families that were stationed at Joint Base,” Biscardi added.

Continued From Page 1 the largest grant allotment in Ocean County. Hudak explained that the LRIG program was created to assist local governments in repairing and upgrading their parks, playgrounds, and recreational facilities into spaces that promote people’s physical and mental well-being. This grant will be used alongside a $35,000 grant that Manchester received through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Located at the end of Richard Drive, the Tuskegee Airmen Park on Route 571 is the first township park to be dedicated to a select group of veterans. What started out as the renovation of the Richard Estates Playground in 2004 became Tuskegee Airmen Park, honoring a fighter unit in the Army Air Corps that served with great merit during World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Black military aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps, a precursor to the U.S. Army Air
The Manchester Times, February 12, 2022, Page 5 Corps (AAC). They became part of the 15th Air Force that escorted American bombers as they flew over Italy. They flew P-47s and later P-51s and were responsible for protecting larger bombers from Nazi fighter planes. “I would like to thank Colliers Engineering and Public Works Director Al Yodakis for their diligence on this grant submission which secured these additional grant funds to complete this important project and we hope to have this project bid out this summer,” Mayor Hudak said. A youngster who was playing at that park told The Manchester Times that he was a regular at the recreational facility. He said his only problems were that there was no one to play with that day and he had to use his football to practice his basketball court shots.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Talk Less, Listen More, And Be Educated At Board Of Education Meetings The film “1776” is said to be a classic. It focuses on our early history as a developing nation and it includes a particular scene which is noteworthy in contemporary America. Here’s the scene in a nutshell: Lewis Morris: [as John Hancock is about to swat a fly] Mr. Secretary, New York abstains, courteously. [Hancock raises his fly swatter at Morris, then draws back] John Hancock: Mr. Morris, [pause, then shouts] John Hancock: WHAT IN HELL GOES ON IN NEW YORK? Lewis Morris: I’m sorry Mr. President, but the simple fact is that our legislature has never sent us explicit instructions on anything! John Hancock: NEVER? [slams fly swatter onto his desk] John Hancock: That’s impossible! Lewis Morris: Mr. President, have you ever been present at a meeting of the New York legislature? [Hancock shakes his head “No”] Lewis Morris: They speak very fast and very loud, and nobody listens to anybody else, with the result that nothing ever gets done. [turns to the Congress as he returns to his seat] Lewis Morris: I beg the Congress’s pardon. John Hancock: [grimly] My sympathies,
Mr. Morris. In many ways, that last part by Lewis Morris could describe what has been occurring at some Board of Education meetings lately. I’ve been covering BOE meetings for about four decades now. They were usually quiet and involve the planning of curriculum, facilities, programs and development of budgets and sprinkle in the occasional awards to teachers and students. Yes, occasionally a Board member would raise their voice about a policy issue or a parent would bring up concerns about an action taken by a teacher or administrator. It wasn’t always quiet but it was usually cordial. In recent years they’ve become much more complicated, especially with deep budget cuts and oh that darn global pandemic that has impacted us all. Mask wearing in schools has become a battleground issue in several school districts in Ocean County and beyond. Parents understandably have strong feelings about the policy currently mandated through executive orders now extended by Governor Phil Murphy. School districts are following the mandate because as administrators and Board members have said, they must do so or face repercussions from the state most likely in the form of a further reduction in state aid. Parents want school districts to be more vocal against the mandates and to join forces with lawmakers who are opposing the governor’s use (or misuse) of power.
This debate has spilled over to halt some live Board meetings with even Board members refusing to wear masks - resulting in a cancelation and rescheduling of meetings to a virtual format in the last month. Curt words by parents sporting sweatshirts with political slogans directed at Board members and administrators are also becoming more common place. One superintendent was accused of following along the path simply to “pick up a check” in reference to the state’s ESSER funding that provides for funds to cover the cost of COVID-19 pandemic impacts. It goes without saying that the idea of mandatory vaccinations for students, and policies governing masking are all hot button issues that should be fleshed out. This is hard to do with a once-a-month BOE meeting, given the rapid-fire changes in the pandemic and the state guidelines and polices coming out of the CDC. Administrators can’t keep up with the pace and parents have many legitimate concerns. Those frustrations are boiling over to create a very different atmosphere at Board meetings and that is impairing the work the Boards do. This is another aspect of the pandemic, and it is a powerful one. As one newly minted BOE member said recently, we need to start listening more to each other and arguing less. That is a paraphrased statement but it is pretty much on the mark of what the member said and it is sound advice.
BOE meetings are becoming theatrical showcases of the frustration and fear parents have and while they do need to express themselves, there seems to be little change occurring as the power to make that change is in Trenton. Causing the cancellation of meetings and making BOE meetings battlegrounds where residents literally sit on two sides of the room divided up by those wearing and not wearing masks is probably not the best route to take as it just postpones the work needed to be done. There needs to be some middle ground with this. A hybrid meeting made up of those who wear masks to be at a live session while others who do not want to wear them watch and participate from home, might be the answer. Perhaps giving the authority to the school districts to decide might be another. For now, we await a time when a mask mandate will be lifted, where we can go back to some normalcy and where the business at hand is planning the school’s budget, developing curriculum, figuring out where to find more bus drivers and settling the latest teacher contracts all while coping with reductions in state aid. I don’t envy parents, teachers, administrators or board members. Most of all, I feel bad for the students who are being caught in the crossfire of all of this. Bob Vosseller Assistant News Editor
Letters To The Editor Republican Heroes At the anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, it is time we recognized the true heroes of the Republican Party. They are not the dopey louts who rampaged through our nation’s capital and the moral cowards who still cover for them. They are not the ranting demagogues exploiting the emotions of the resentful. They were the
unsung people not seeking attention, but doing their jobs: from poll workers to police officers. They were Republican state legislators and governors who did not bend to pressure to overturn the elections in their state. They were Republican judges who did not allow mere allegations unsupported by credible evidence to deny votes that happened. They were a Vice President who stayed loyal to the Consti-
tution and the rule of law above any man. They were Republican congressional representatives and senators who did not fear to try and hold their own president accountable, and dared to stand on their conscience instead of follow the majority in their party. They did not win. But they showed more bravery than the majority in their party who did. It is Republicans like those who could save the soul of

Health Care And Bread Lines It’s amazing what we get used to, isn’t it? We have the worst health care, where we just go along with the fact that we have to pay out of pocket for cancer treatment, but if there’s a shortage of bread or chicken at the grocery store then we revolt? Yes, I’m mad at gas prices, too, but where’s your rage
about health care companies lining their pockets on our suffering? At Jeff Bezos making billions while putting small businesses run by your neighbors out of business? I guess you only get mad if you are mildly inconvenienced. Thomas Kerrick Toms River
Not Term Limits No, not term limits but WEALTH LIMITS should be imposed on politicians. Once they reach a certain level, it is time to step down. The Pelosis and McConnells represent only themselves. Stop drinking that Democratic Kool-Aid and speak out against all their radical agendas which they are demanding, not on merit, but on their perceived notion of resistance from Republicans. Where is the vigorous
debate about their demand to takeover the right of States to make voting laws? Make no mistake, they are determined and emboldened by the success of two women (the late Betty Freidan and her partner) who were activists in the 70s, and fundamentally changed the culture for each and every woman to be included in the job world, even mothers of newborns, who get back to work with a meager 2-month maternity leave. And the takeaway today is that mothers/wives have no choice and must work because costs, of goods and services, are based on the 2-income household. Progress? No way! Make the power of your vote, your voice and also your purse work strategically. If not, Democracy will cease! Marie Pellicano Manchester

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) said the Point Pleasant Canal will receive $3.2 million in federal funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to help repair portions of the bulkhead that have suffered significant damage over the years. “This is great news for Point Pleasant and all mariners who rely on this critical piece of our coastal infrastructure,” said Rep. Smith. “The steel bulkhead along the canal is showing its age, and this work will help shore up the properties on each side of the waterway to ensure safe passage by water between Monmouth and Ocean counties.” “Once again Congressman Smith has made sure that our area is not overlooked,” said Point Pleasant Mayor Bob Sabosik. “Not only has he managed to secure much-needed beach replenishment funding for the surrounding communities with beach front,
he also has managed to secure $3.2 million dollars for Point Pleasant Borough for much-needed bulkhead repairs along the Point Pleasant Canal.” “Throughout the years, he has stayed in constant contact with local mayors including myself and does not only listen, but helps us get the resources we need to make our communities at the Jersey Shore better,” Sabosik said of Smith. First opened to navigation in 1926, the Point Pleasant Canal is a roughly 2-milelong, man-made channel that connects the Barnegat Bay and the Manasquan River. The federal dollars to repair the canal come after Smith’s efforts earlier this month helped secure $30.2 million from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act - for much-needed beach replenishment for Jersey shore towns in the Fourth Congressional District. Passed with bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate, the infrastructure law provides funding to repair and rebuild dangerous roads, bridges, rail lines, tunnels and lead-contaminated water pipes in addition to other eligible critical projects.

Continued From Page 1 their sick and vacation time,” Lopez stated. “Human resources have used this policy to keep employees waiting in the parking lot before they can enter the building to return to work.” While union workers acknowledged that mandatory quarantines represented frustration to many workers, their experience in helping the public made it more difficult. The Ocean County Board of Social Services assists residents with food, housing, and cash assistance. Offices were closed at the beginning of the pandemic and reopened to the public on September 14, 2020. “Our workers have been required to work in the office seeing clients experiencing symptoms of the virus,” said Lopez. “They are being pushed beyond management policies, which is the reason the CWA is so adamant that our workers deserve hazard pay.” Jennifer Lehman identified herself as a CWA Local 1088 member and affi rmed the statements made by Lopez. In addition, she read into the record a statement from another colleague who said her health has been impacted by her work for the Board of Social Services. “The overall abusive atmosphere of the agency has affected not only my mental health but also my physical health,” read Lehman. “…The atmosphere has caused me to have anxiety about discipline for any small issue.” “Most of (my issues) have been in direct response to how I’ve been treated by my supervisors, administrators, and even the former deputy director,” continued Lehman. “It concerns me that this agency’s atmosphere has gone unchecked for so long.” According to Lehman, the anonymous colleague’s complaints tied into the agency’s COVID policies. She also said that workers in the Toms River building in particular, are working in absolutely deplorable conditions. Ocean County Director of the Commissioners John P. “Jack” Kelly said that the board would be studying the feasibility of allocating funds from the American Rescue Act to CWA workers and others. Kelly requested Julie N. Tarrant, Ocean County Comptroller, explain the process in using monies from federal funds for hazard pay.

and county staff,” Tarrant explained. “It will then be presented to the board, who will then ask the community for input.” Commissioner Gary Quinn said that he and the other board members have enormous compassion for the social services workers. “The problem is they are coming before the venue that doesn’t have the authority or the ability to take and do what they’re asking,” said Quinn. “We have money that will be
allocated throughout different areas, and the county wants to help as many people as possible. “The request for any money here would have to come from the Board of Social Services, which is really a state agency,” Quinn continued. “Our obligation first and foremost is to the 2,000 people who work for Ocean County. So if there’s money to be allocated, they should be our number one priority.”

Don’t Cut Corners On Hearing Care
Over-the-counter hearing aids, also known as OTCs, will be available yesterday. But what are you giving up when you choose OTCs? It turns out, quite a bit. Professional Know-How A hearing health care provider has expertise and experience. They can pinpoint your unique hearing needs and determine the best technology for you. They also know how to go beyond manufacturer recommendations to truly customize your hearing devices to your lifestyle and hearing level. With OTCs, your results are only as good as the built-in adjusting capabilities for that device. A Sound Ecosystem-Unparalleled Value When you purchase OTCs, you get ... a pair of hearing aids. When you get technology from our practice, you get complimentary follow-up visits. This lets us adjust your technology to ensure it works the best for you in any environment. You also benefit from yearly evaluations that include testing of your inner ears, eardrums, and ear canal. Plus, you can enjoy free clean and checks of your devices. Ear Health When you self-treat your hearing loss by purchasing OTCs, you skip the critical first step: a physical examination of your ears. Anything from severe earwax build-
up to medication to a tumor can cause hearing issues. In many situations, simply buying an OTC doesn’t solve the problem. It could even make it worse. Our hearing care professionals are trained to determine your best course of action — which might be a simple ear cleaning. A hearing professional provides access to state-of- the-art technology with an array of accessories. Enjoy biometric wellness tracking and advanced background- noise reduction. Plus, stream audio wirelessly on phone calls, while watching TV, or during conversations. With some hearing devices, you can even get your hearing aid settings adjusted by your provider via a smartphone app — no appointment needed! If you think you or a loved one could benefit from a hearing evaluation, contact us today to get the ball rolling! Already a proud owner of hearing technology? Your hearing changes over time, and new developments are always emerging. If it’s been a while since we last saw you, schedule a hearing check today! Dr. Izzy & his Staff are here to answer most of your hearing health questions. We can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www.garden statehearing.com.

7 Ways To Treat Sudden Low Blood Pressure By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
When I was a practicing pharmacist at a large retail chain, I’d get this type of phone call a lot: What do I do, my husband took his blood pressure pill and now he feels faint! Is that normal? Probably every pharmacist has received a similar call after dispensing any one of the popular anti-hypertensives like losartan, lisinopril, nifedipine, atenolol, and others. The answer given depended on the severity of the situation of course, and we were always mindful of having the patient’s doctor informed and notified. A person often experiences low blood pressure because they have high blood pressure and they’re supported on blood pressure pills to bring it down. But the problem is that it can go down too fast, and too much! Hence, a hypotensive crisis can occur. Kidney dysfunction, heart disease, sleep apnea as well as thyroid disease are other causes for a hypotensive crisis. Vitamin B12 deficiency is known to cause pernicious anemia and it’s quite common. This is an overlooked but common cause of chronic low blood pressure. The symptoms are the sensation of dizziness or feeling faint and lightheaded. There could also be nausea, weakness and inability to focus or concentrate. Vision can be impacted. If it’s serious of course call 911, and get help. Smelling salts aren’t a bad idea while you’re waiting for help. For simple, occasional bouts of sudden low blood pressure, I could recommend
the following: 1. Lie down and put a thick pillow under your legs so your head gets more blood flow. The reason you feel faint is because the blood left your head, so this positional change should be done first. 2. Munch on something very salty like potato chips, or drink salt water if you can sit up. It’s made as 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and stir it well. 3. Generally speaking drink more water. The more fluid you drink the more pressure there is inside your blood vessels and that’s the goal. 4. Put on compression stockings are great if you have those. You should buy a pair of compression hose if you are on a blood pressure drug because you never know when you’ll experience this problem. 5. Fludrocortisone is a prescription medication that raises blood pressure. It works by controlling the sodium and the fluid balance in your body. 6. Do not get up fast! Even if you have been on a medication for years, and you feel confident of its effects, still I caution to never get up fast. 7. Licorice teabags can be used because that will elevate blood pressure too. If someone is around to help you steep this while you lay down with your legs up, it would be ideal! These teabags are sold everywhere. They are used most often for liver disease, and more recently for respiratory infections.

Dog Park:
Continued From Page 1 would include nature trails. “When we were planning the County Park on Route 571, we discussed and I believe our suggestion was accepted by the county, that the building of a dog park was an additional component,” Councilman Vaccaro said referencing the initial proposed project for a Manchester based County Park. That
site was later rejected in favor of the new location. “Recently reading The Manchester Times, it did not mention the dog park. Has there been a change in plans since the residents of the eastern portion of the township have to take their pets to the Robert Miller County Airport for pet park services?” the councilman asked. Business Administrator Brandon Umba said he’d look into the matter “but from
what they told us I don’t believe that was one of the recreational items that was planned but we can look into it and see if there is a way to include that.” Solar Power Project There were also questions about a planned Whiting solar project involving property on a former landfill. Umba explained that the land lease with Whiting Landfill needed to be extended for one year. “You don’t have
a long-term lease with them until “they go operational by putting the solar panels in and as part of your original agreement, every year can be extended by a year,” he told the Council. “In talking with the company, it looks like you didn’t extend it in 2019 to 2020 and in 2021 there was an extension and now we need to extend it for 2022,” Umba said. He explained that a resolution was added to that meeting that was prepared for by the township’s legal firm that would provide the township another year. “They have January 27, 2022 to January 27, 2023 for them to complete the construction of the solar installation and then it will go into the long-term lease,” Umba added.
DoorDash Driver Identified In Hit And Run Crash
By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – Thanks to social media, police have identified the DoorDash driver involved in a hit and run crash that took place on the evening of January 23. Police were able to find surveillance footage from a resident’s camera that captured the crash. In the video, a white pick-up truck hit a parked vehicle on Birmingham Avenue in the Pine Lake Park section of Manchester. The driver then left the scene. The video also showed the driver exit the car to deliver the food to the home. Manchester Township Police Department contacted DoorDash for information, however they could only identify the Door Dash driver as “Richard E.” Once police posted the video of the unknown DoorDash driver to their social media accounts, they received numerous tips and identified the car and driver. On January 28, 62-year-old Richard Ethier of Berkeley, identified himself as the Door Dash driver and turned himself in to police. He was subsequently issued motor vehicle summonses for Careless Driving, Leaving the Scene of an Accident and Failure to Report an Accident. The charges referenced are merely accusations and the public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!

Lively Talk Radio! On Air and Online g Comin

By Christopher R. Shea Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior
to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. (732) 505-1212.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Tracing Cranberry Inlet History
AS THE LEADING RESOURCE FOR SENIOR VETERANS WE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS
OCEAN COUNTY – Join Ocean County Historical Society’s Zoom presentation at 2 p.m. on March 20 for “Tracing Cranberry Inlet History.” Enthusiastic storyteller, Ron Post, a surveyor, sailor, racer of catamarans, car collector and 1970 graduate of the University of Walt Disney World, will present his research on the history of the Cranberry Inlet that once connected Barnegat Bay with the Atlantic Ocean. Ron grew up in Morris County, collaborated with a surveyor after high school graduation, was drafted into the Army, returned to Morris County to collaborate again with a surveyor, and at age 29, moved with his sailboat to Orlando, FL. He became a marina supervisor at the Contemporary Hotel in Disney World, married his wife Karen in 1980, and then returned to the Jersey Shore. Earning his surveyor’s license in 1983,
Ron started his own surveying business in Toms River. With Karen’s help, their “mom and pop” business working out of the basement has morphed into the present Ronald W. Post Surveying Inc. offering property, utility, and aerial surveying to the public. Bringing his love of surveying and maps to his presentation, Ron will explain how Mother Nature created, then destroyed the Cranberry Inlet, until enterprising developers and builders fi nally tamed it.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of FEB 12 - FEB 18
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sidestep a misunderstanding by waiting for another day to discuss an issue with a loved one. Any impulsiveness could cause consequences, so it’s best to count to ten before taking action or voicing an opinion in the week to come. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Moderation should be your mantra. You would be wise to avoid taking on additional debts in the week ahead. A sparkling and enthusiastic outlook can attract others and may result in a wealth of social invitations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your business ideas could be naive or overly idealistic in the week ahead. You are likely willing to investigate proposals and joint enterprises but might not understand the most important details. Wait to begin significant projects. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A loved one or partner could have some powerful ideas. Follow someone else’s lead as the week goes by and you should be able to achieve your goals. Wait until you are armed with more data before you discuss a family or career issue. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel restless and ready to try something new as this week progresses. You could be primed to meet interesting people and escape from a limiting relationship or situation. Use your soft heart to deal with the hard heads. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Exercise restraint, it’s fine to multi-task in the week to come but do not impulsively spend more money than you should. Be sure that short-term solutions are not creating long-term problems.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): You might find you are walking a narrow balance beam that makes missteps more likely than usual. Wait until later in the week when there is less chance for a misunderstanding to discuss the future of a close relationship. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might be inspired to make sweeping changes as the week unfolds. An enthusiastic partner could encourage you. At the same time, you may be aware of family responsibilities that require more of your energy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): True freedom can come when you realize you have nothing to prove. You may tackle your job with creativity but still may feel most comfortable close to home with your family or tribe in the upcoming week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dreams are the first step to manifestation, and some of your inspiring and creative ideas could grow into something worth pursuing. Wait until later in the week to begin new projects or to take definitive action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Even if you feel slightly under the weather, your attitude can shift enough for life to shine brightly. Take the lessons gained from recent experiences seriously as the week unfolds. Focus on changes within your family. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Take steps to protect yourself from making errors that impact your financial security. Be conscious of impulse purchases as this week flies by. Investigate apps or other ways to stay more efficient and organized.
