Changes To Master Plan May Impact Roads, Development

By Mark Bator f t e r a f i ve year absence, Howell High School brought back its “Colors For Autism Color Run” thanks in large part to two members of the senior class. Twin sisters Chelsea and Chloe Berwick collaborated with members of the faculty to bring back the charity event to benefit POAC, a local organization that provides training and services for the autism community and their families. T h e m a i n e ve n t was a three-kilometer run/walk around the grounds of Howell High School’s athletic fields, but was preceded by an energetic Zumba workout to get participants “warmed up.” Last held in 2017, the event went dormant after that, and any thought of reviving it was completely shut down by the pandemic in the last two years.

Ordinance Would Ban Real Estate Solicitors

section of the township spoke about the problems her community is facing day to day with ongoing soliciting. “The overly aggressive push to get us to sell our homes has shaken us. We will not be bullied. All of us had people come to our doors, hand
written notes in our mailboxes and calls or texts to buy our houses when they aren’t even for sale,” Tracy Jones said. Another resident from Heritage Pointe stepped for ward at the May 10 meeting to discuss the ongoing issues her family as well as her

Continued From Page 1 But with restrictions easing and COVID numbers declining earlier in the year, the impetus to bring the event back to Howell High School was rekindled in January, thanks to the Berwick sisters. “I think with the issues with the pandemic and everything, it was tough to get it up to speed again,” said Chelsea Berwick, “but
we’re excited to bring it back this year. It seems like it’s a really big event that a lot of people are excited about, so we’re happy to have it back at Howell.” The Berwick sisters have a long history of extra-curricular involvement and community service. Both are in the National Honor Society, with Chelsea serving as the president. Both began their road of community involvement at a young age, involved with scouting, and as founding members of their
church’s youth group. They have been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as well as Relay For Life. “I think it’s just kind of who they are,” said Tricia Berwick, describing her daughters. “They love to just give back and do community service, which is great. Just the fact that they’re thinking of others.” Howell High School runs the Autism Spectrum Program, which encourages acceptance and support by teaching others
about the unique challenges those with autism and their families must face. “I did the Interact program my freshman year,” said Chloe. “During gym, they have a program where you can walk with the students in the autism program on the track. I had made a really great relationship with the student who I was working with. So, to have the opportunity to do this, and to see them again, and to form those same relationships again is really important to me.” “We have the autism program here at the high school and it’s a big part of the school,” explained Chelsea. “We see the kids in the hallway every day. They deserve to have a day all for them, and enjoy an awesome day.” Statistically, males in America are four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than females. Tim Hogan, a teacher at Howell High whose son Sean is on the autism spectrum, has been one of the mentors for the Berwicks. Along with Hogan, teachers Mary Collins and Stacey Gregorakis were instrumental in helping bring the Autism Color Run back to Howell High School. Following the run, the event continued with live music performed by students, with games, crafts and activities at various booths set up by participating clubs and sports at the school. But while there was some guidance and direction provided by the faculty at the high school, everyone agreed that the charity event would not have taken place without the initiative and efforts of the Berwick sisters. “We told them you still have two years of high school left [and] you’re going to get out of it what you put into it,” said Jeff Berwick, recalling a conversation he had with Chelsea and Chloe prior to the start of his daughters’ junior year at the school. “Put in all you can, so that when you look back, you’ll be satisfied that you got as much out of your high school career as you possibly could. And that’s exactly what they’ve done. It’s incredible.” The charity event raised over two thousand dollars, with the entirety of the registration fees going to POAC. “We’re just really happy to bring it back to our school,” said Chelsea. “It’s incredible to see all the students, administrators, and teachers so excited to be here, and to see an event come to fruition. It’s been an honor to be able to do it with my sister and with the teachers that we’re working with.” In 2020, the CDC has estimated that 5.4 million adults in America are on the autism spectrum. According to POAC, New Jersey has the highest rate of autism in the United States, and it is estimated that one out of every 35 children born today will have autism.
Flag Retirement Box
HOWELL – Do you have old flags? Flags can be retired outside of the Southard Fire Department in their flag retirement box. This is maintained by a local Eagle Scout, Jacob Grdovic, who completed the project and donated it to the Southard Fire Department. He has been emptying it on a weekly basis and working with a local VFW to make sure the flags are retired in a dignified way.

Continued From Page 1 stops in our development,” Lucrezia Holmes said. “As you are aware, last week one of my neighbors spoke about the continued efforts occurring in our neighborhood.” Holmes spoke about the direct interactions many of them have faced and still face today. Examples she listed included: “blocking our driveways; approaching my children and others at our playground asking to take videos of them on our playground. This is a child that was directly approached by an adult; circling the streets while taking photos of our homes; calling and texting with offers; and placing offers in our mailbox.” “This is the definition of blockbusting,” Holmes said. She explained how they still received notes in the mail and more even after posting a “No Knock” sticker on their door. Holmes
claimed that the man who had put the note in their mail box had been parked outside their property for hours just starting at their house. “We were told by you and others to alert the authorities. Please understand that we have. Yes, we have license plate numbers of these solicitors. Yes, some people have been pulled over by local police and spoken to. But it continues the next day and the day after that,” Holmes said. Holmes also noted that even with the No Knock sticker, the harassment still continues. “We call the police yet people are canvassing our neighborhood the very next day,” she said. Holmes said that those registered on the solicitor list, which is available to the public, have not approached them or neighbors. She said those who continue to come knocking at her door are not on the registered solicitor
Two Seriously Injured In School Bus Crash
Curfew Enforced After ‘Pop-Up Party’ Brings Thousands To Shore Town
By Alyssa Riccardi LONG BRANCH – The city of Long Branch has imposed a 9 p.m. curfew after thousands of people gathered from a social media ‘pop-up party’ on May 21 that created a public safety emergency, officials said.

to the circulation elements and the land use portions of the Master Plan. The circulation element of the plan deals with the way traffic moves about the town, with the goal of finding the most efficient way to achieve that end. “Why that’s important, is that the town hasn’t looked at the circulation element in about thirty years,” explained Beahm during the Board’s Zoom call hearing. “As I’m sure all of you on the call can attest to, is the fact that over the course of the past thirty years, things in town have changed significantly. Some sleepy roads have now become some major thoroughfares that warrant a re-look.” Beahm stipulated that some of the Planning Board’s changes were based upon a survey of residents that had been conducted online over one month’s time. The Board took the residents’ concerns into consideration when crafting the traffic plan. Beahm, who serves as the Township’s Planner, Planning Board Planner, and the Zoning Board Planner for the township, presented a litany of roadways in Howell that had become problematic. While Route 9 is “not within our control,” Beahm explained that being able to augment the development of those streets that feed into the highway may serve to alleviate future issues. The town looked into accident data from the NJ Department of Transportation and police reports, as well as car counter data to make their decisions. Based upon these factors, the designation of several town streets would change, which could mean raising speed limits or seeking to widen existing roadways. Also discussed were land use elements of the Plan, especially given that new directions from the State of New Jersey call for governing bodies looking to change land use within their towns to adhere to more

One police vehicle was vandalized, but there were no significant injuries or property damage reported at this time. A majority of those present left peacefully after the announcement of the curfew. “I would like to thank all of our local law enforcement agencies and our state partners for their response to today’s incident. Responding agencies worked in unison to create a swift, professional, and tactical response to what was evolving as a dangerous situation. We appreciate the efforts of Long Branch city officials issuing tonight’s curfew in response to the public safety situation. Their efforts are to be commended.” Acting Monmouth County
stringent environmental concerns. As a result, Howell’s new Master Plan had to consider sea level rise, climate change, electric vehicle legislation, fire management, storm resiliency, storm water management rules, flood hazard areas, evacuation routes, emergency services and the smart growth conservation concerns. Smart growth plans attempt to limit “suburban sprawl” and lessen the potential impact on the environment. “We evaluated build-out trends by looking at the number of housing units by building permit, and looking at what could potentially occur in the future,” said Beahm as she spoke to the Board. “I do think some of the circulation recommendations, as well as some of the recommendations [on land use], do lend itself to being cognizant of what we don’t want to have happen here in Howell. We don’t want every square inch of the town and every blade of grass eliminated for pavement concrete development.” Of note was the concern regarding the “boom” of warehouse development in Howell, and Beahm explained that there were to be changes in some zoning areas. She recommended the creation of a new HD-4 zone along Route 33. The new zone classification is an outgrowth of the HD-3 zone type, but removed age-restricted single-family residences, while adding assisted living facilities, self-storage facilities and craft distilleries. Also discussed at the meeting was the fact that Weapons Station Earle has requested a military exclusion zone of 2,000 feet around the border of the base. While the parameters of this have not been specified, it will likely require the town to make a new zone classification for this area. The documents that were discussed at the meeting had been put online for more than one week for the public to review. While several members of the public did choose to join the discussion with recommendations and requests, including one to delay the vote, the board went forward and adopted the new draft version of the Master Plan.
Prosecutor Lori Linskey said. “Thank you to all law enforcement and fi rst responders that responded to Long Branch’s call for mutual aid in reference to Saturday night’s large-scale event which drew crowds of people to the area and unfortunately turned unruly as several fights broke out. This prompted a major police presence from state, county and local fi rst responders to maintain public safety as they assisted with a subsequently imposed curfew by Long Branch City Officials,” Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden said. Law enforcement from the Long Branch Police Department, Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, Monmouth County Emergency Response Team (MOCERT), Monmouth and Middlesex Rapid Deployment Forces (RDF), Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Office, New Jersey State Police, Department of Corrections and NJ Transit Police, all responded to the area.

Federal Firearm Licensing Act Reintroduced After Shootings Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
Washington, D.C. - After another series of deadly mass shootings across the country, U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) reintroduced the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, legislation that would require individuals to obtain a firearm license from the Department of Justice (DOJ) before purchasing or receiving a firearm. In order to obtain a federal firearm license, the bill would require the following: Certification that the individual completed firearm safety training, which must include a written test and hands-on training to ensure safe use and accuracy. Completion of a criminal history background check. Submission of fingerprints, proof of iden-
tity, and verification that the individual is at least 21 years old. The federal firearm license must be renewed ever y five years at which point the applicant will have to go through a background check and undergo firearm safety training again. The bill contains a mechanism for the DOJ to revoke the license if the individual poses a danger to themselves or to others. It would require the Federal Bureau of Investigation to regularly conduct checks to ensure that individuals are in compliance with federal license requirements and keeps in place requirements that all people purchasing firearms from a federal firearms licensee undergo a background check. Several studies have shown that licensing laws reduce gun violence in states that have enacted them. According to the Giffords Law Center, Connecticut saw its gun homicide and gun suicide rates decrease by 28 and 33 percent, respectively, after passing a state licensing law. In contrast, after Missouri repealed its firearm licensing law, the state saw a 47 percent increase in its gun homicide rate and 24 percent increase
in its gun suicide rate. Licensing laws also enjoy strong support from Americans, with 77% backing the measure according to a Quinnipiac survey from 2019. “In our nation, gun violence has become eerily routine and we’ve done little to stop the horrific mass shootings that devastate the lives of victims and their loved ones,” said Sen. Booker. “Accepting this shameful status quo will continue to lead to deadly consequences. We need to adopt proven, common-sense measures that will address the scourge of gun violence and make our communities safer. “This bill moves us in the right direction and is based on a simple concept - if you need a license to drive a car, you should need one to buy and possess a gun,” continued Sen. Booker. “Firearm licensing laws have broad public support and have been shown to reduce gun violence in states that have enacted them, including in my home state of New Jersey. This is the moment to enact ambitious legislation - as a nation, we must rise to it, or we are fated to witness the deadly scenes of this past weekend and years past over again.” “The United States stands alone in our failure to protect our citizens from gun
violence. While many states, including New Jersey, have commonsense gun laws, the need for federal licensing standards has long been clear,” said Sen. Menendez. “The Federal Firearms Licensing Act would put in place a certification process that includes firearm safety training and a thorough criminal background and identity check requiring the licensee be 21 years of age. We have a moral obligation to prevent these senseless massacres in our schools, supermarkets, places of worship and shopping malls that are tearing communities and families apart. It is my hope that my Republican colleagues will once-and-for-all recognize the urgency of action and join us in passing this legislation before more lives are senselessly lost to gun violence.” “This legislation will save lives and protect communities across the United States from the devastating impact of gun violence,” said Sen. Blumenthal. “As shown by the success in Connecticut, simple, commonsense standards like licensing laws requiring the completion of a background check and firearm safety certification work. I’m proud to join Senators Booker and Menendez in this effort to address our nation’s gun violence epidemic.”
Governor Takes Steps To Address National Baby Formula Shortage From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – With New Jersey families facing difficulties obtaining baby formula due to the ongoing national shortage, Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 296 declaring a State of Emergency in order to activate State price gouging laws, consistent with President Biden’s actions at the federal level. The order also coordinates relief efforts and enables State agencies to take any emergency measures necessary to protect families from issues arising from the baby formula shortage. The Department of Health also released guidance for families facing challenges as a result of the shortage. “We firmly believe that New Jersey is the best place in the nation to raise a family, and during this challenging time, we want to support our families with all of the resources at our disposal,” said Governor Murphy. “I am signing (the) executive order to enable our State to take any necessary steps to address this critical issue. To any retailer who may try to take advantage of vulnerable families during this shortage, let me be clear that this reprehensible action will not be tolerated. And
to any New Jerseyan affected by this shortage, rest assured that my administration will do everything in our power to ensure families have access to the formula they need.” “Families need our support right now, as the national shortage of baby formula is presenting challenges for many parents who rely on this essential product,” said First Lady Tammy Murphy. “New Jersey stands with our families and will work to provide equitable access to formula to ensure the health and well-being of infants throughout our state.” With the State of Emergency in effect, an excessive increase in the pricing of a merchant’s supply of baby formula may be considered unlawful price gouging under the Consumer Fraud Act. The activation of these price gouging laws empowers the Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) to investigate reports of potential price gouging and take action to curb such predatory practices. DCA will also continue to monitor the marketplace for other predatory and unlawful practices, including the sale of expired or unauthorized formula. “We want businesses and consumers to know the price gouging law is now in effect to ensure baby formula is not excessively priced anywhere it is offered or sold in the state,” said Acting Attorney General Platkin. “Individuals or merchants looking to make a
profit by violating the law during the current state of emergency will face severe penalties.” Under the order, all State departments and agencies are also authorized to take steps – such as issuing waivers, orders, directives, or emergency regulations – to help ease supply chain issues in regards to formula, limit actions that would reduce the availability of formula, and draw on federal resources to accomplish these goals. In addition to the executive order, the Governor has also spoken with the leaders of two major baby formula companies with a presence in New Jersey to emphasize the critical nature of the current situation, thank them for their commitment to increasing production capacity, and offer any assistance the State can offer during this time. Understanding that low and moderate-income families are particularly vulnerable to challenges resulting from the national shortage of formula, the New Jersey Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC) – which falls under the Department of Health (DOH) – is taking steps to ensure equitable access to formula during this time. WIC recently applied for a federal waiver that allows program participants to exchange their recalled formula at the store, like any other customer. Participants also have the flexibility to shop at multiple different stores if their regular store does not have the supply of formula they need.
In anticipation of certain formulas being more difficult to obtain than others, WIC recently instituted formula substitutions so that program participants can replace their special formulas with other types of formula, as dictated by their doctor. The program is currently preparing to apply for two additional federal waivers the state is now eligible for – one of which would allow participants to receive a different brand of formula without needing a doctor’s note. The other waiver would further allow WIC participants to receive different forms and sizes of formula than they normally receive. “The Department of Health remains committed to ensuring that families participating in the Women Infants and Children (WIC) program can access the nutritional support and resources needed to care for their infants,” said Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “Feeding your infant during this shortage can be stressful. If you are in need of emotional support, your local maternal health consortia can connect you with counseling services, virtual support groups, and other resources you may need.” For DOH’s guidance for families impacted by the shortage, details on how to file a complaint with DCA about suspected price gouging or unfair business practices related to the sale of baby formula, and other information about the state’s efforts to address the national baby formula shortage, visit nj.gov/ babyformula.

Inc., Community Partner. (Right) Heather Coburn, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Interim CEO and Tasha Youngblood Brown, 2022 Woman of Distinction. FARMINGDALE – Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore celebrated inspiring community leaders at its Women of Distinction & Community Partners Gala on Wednesday, April 27 at Eagle Oaks Golf and Country Club in Farmingdale. The annual event, attended by 225 supporters, raised over $140,000 to provide leadership experiences to nearly 11,000 Girl Scouts across Monmouth and Ocean counties, regardless of ability to pay. Eagle Oaks was transformed into a camp wonderland complete with canoes, tree stumps, lanterns, and archery targets. Heather Coburn, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Interim CEO told guests, “More than ever before, the outdoors allows girls the opportunity to unplug from technology and be with friends. The last two summers at camp were important for so many who have been stuck indoors. For more than 50 years, our camps at GSJS have helped shape thousands of girls.” Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore proudly recognized outstanding role models in our community for their strength of character, dedicated community service, emphasis on life-long learning, along with their dedication to fostering self-confidence and leadership skills in others. Honorees at the 2022 gala included: Women of Distinction • Heather Barberi ▪ Grunin Foundation • Tasha Youngblood Brown ▪ Ernst & Young, LLP (EY) • Dr. Antoinette Clay ▪ Ocean County College • Martha Delehanty ▪ Commvault • Jacqueline K. Shea ▪ New Jersey Resources Community Partner • L&L Paving Co. Inc. ▪ Frank (Sandy)
McIntyre Man Enough to Be a Girl Scout • Benjamin L. Waldron ▪ Monmouth-Ocean Development Council Full biographies for all honorees can be found at jerseyshoregirlscouts.org/en/give/ special-events/women-of-distinction.html. Gala co-chairs were Paige Baran, an attorney with Hiering, Dupignac, Stanzione & Dunn, and Thomas Hayes, director of customer and community relations at New Jersey Natural Gas. Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore is grateful for community sponsorship of the event, including: Gold Sponsor, Grunin Foundation; Bronze sponsors: Aspire Technology Partners and New Jersey Natural Gas. Our Trefoil Sponors: Commvault and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Badge Sponsors: ENCON, Hackensack Meridian Health, Monmouth Medical Center – Southern Campus & Community Medical Center and Ocean County Business Development & Tourism. Teri O’Connor, Board Chair concluded the evening with a special celebration of the 110th Birthday of Girl Scouts with birthday cake and historical memorabilia on display for guests. “Your support tonight helps ensure another 110 years of problem solvers, go-getters, dreamers, and doers. Tonight, we celebrate creating a better future for us all!” said Teri. To donate to camp and ensure all girls have access to leadership experiences, visit gsfun. org.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.
The questions often arises, “What happens Christopher R. Shea Esq. if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey. Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
How Lavender, Rosemary And Peppermint Heal By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Since the dawn of time, give or take a few thousand years, civilizations across all continents have been learning how to heal their people. We figured out that we could reduce, heal, alleviate, dare I use the word “cure” ailments with certain plants. With time, the awareness of what specifically could be used to heal has evolved, as science allowed us to find active components within the leaf, stems, root or flowers. Perhaps some of this occurred by accident, or through trial and error. Nowadays, when you’re not feeling well, you call your doctor in order to receive a prescription for relief. But I think you would agree, there are plenty of mild health concerns that can easily be remedied at home. Let’s take a look at 3 popular plants you can grow at home. These will give you plenty of health benefits! 1. Lavender. An antimicrobial best recognized by its beautiful violet-colored florets. This common herb makes for a fragrant and colorful addition to any home or garden. It’s great at reducing stress and insomnia, healing skin wounds and reducing pain/itching from bug bites. Growing Tip. Lavender likes sunlight and a quick-draining soil. I have it growing in my backyard as a perennial. I suggest a pot with drainage holes at the base so any excess water can be flushed away. When those pretty flowers start showing, handle them with care and shape your plant to keep it happy.
2. Rosemary. Not just a pretty name, this little plant is hardy and bushy, plus it’s a perennial. If you can’t grow it, buy some fresh herb in the produce section to include in recipes. Rosemary is a wonderful anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer compound plus it’s a strong antioxidant. Studies show it improves circulation and immunity. Growing Tip. I have this in my garden, it is frost tolerant. Do not over water it. It needs at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. If you get it right, this plant will bring you joy (and healing) for up to 30 years! 3. Peppermint. Commonly used as an ingredient with food and drink, tea and in sweets, peppermint might surprise you with how many healing qualities it offers beyond your seasonal Peppermint Mocha Latte! Peppermint can be used dried, fresh, as an oil or as an essential oil. It can lift depression, soothe anxiety and in some cases help with GI issues such as nausea, diarrhea and flatulence. Growing Tip. Very easy to grow and easy to propagate! This will overtake your garden really fast so be careful with it. Partial shade will be the ideal location. Not only does tending to a garden (or a single pot if that’s all you desire), keep us more active, but it’s kind of like therapy. What comes around, grows around! This peaceful hobby provides glorious health benefits as you can see from the 3 herbs I covered already! When you’re kind to your plants, they are terribly generous in return!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of MAY 28 - june 3 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Bounce back and try a different approach. You may have a packed schedule but by mid-week your hard work should pay off. An upswing in your popularity may offer the encouragement and incentive to keep going strong. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As much as you might want to delegate it all to someone else, it’s likely that the only way it will all get done is if you do it yourself. It may not be possible to rest on your laurels in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Turn toward the sun like a sunflower. In the upcoming week, there may be times when your thoughts dwell on unpleasant subjects and all the negatives, but you can grow and gain strength if you focus on the positives. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might find it difficult to reach your goals immediately. If you want to ditch old habits for better new ones, remember how long you’ve been doing the old habits and be realistic about time needed to really solidify a change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Dealing with difficult personalities may give you the experience you need to achieve your ambitions. You may be more cautious than usual about spending in the week ahead but more focused on your job and making money. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dancing the tango is more fun with two. There is no reason to make your way alone when an affectionate partner is willing to come along and lend a hand. Rely on helpful and optimistic companions in the upcoming week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One person can’t do everything. Control the things that are essential but remain willing to delegate lesser matters that are not crucial. A partner or loved one may be happy to take care of details in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Wish upon a star and use your personal right timing. Some of your dreams are within reach in the week ahead if you pay attention to opportunities to express your creativity. Loved ones could assist you in achieving an objective. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Family members should faithfully follow your lead. When other people make tough demands, loved ones can support you. Avoid being caught up in someone’s agenda that might not be what it appears in the coming week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Call the shots when your drive for success is activated. You are mentally incisive and adept at communications. Apply self-discipline and organizational skills to reach your financial goals in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The darker the night, the more you appreciate the moon and stars. If your ambitions are sparked, then it is time to apply your skill sets and get to work. Build strength by handling your obligations in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make teamwork a priority as this week unfolds. Use your abilities to put a positive spin on every challenge to persuade others to cooperate in work-intensive activities. Place emphasis on uplifting those who are down..
