The Council also supported a resolution supporting legislation that would restore energy tax payments
The township invested $2.9 million in new turf and site improvements. This has caused some sports activities to be relocated until projects are finished. Township officials recently announced that that the upgrades and improvements had begun at both the Jackson Justice Complex and the Holman Athletic Complex. Mayor Michael Reina said, “investments in our recreational facilities are investments in our families and in our kids. The Township Council is very pleased to see this work getting underway and we look forward to the completion of all projects over the coming months.”Existing turf will be removed on the various synthetic turf athletic fields at both work sites.Site work and the installation of the new synthetic turf will continue into the fall, with all work tentatively scheduled to be completed prior to Thanksgiving.

JACKSON - Township officials approved an ordinance concerning certain no-parking zones which was fi rst introduced on July 26. The ordinance applies to Larson Road and County Route 14 and was unanimously approved by those present. Council Vice President Andrew Kern was absent from that session.Council President Martin Flemming called for residents to start paying closer attention to traffic rules when it comes to emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fi retrucks. “The rule is to pull over and stop. You need to start doing that.”
JACKSON – Kaleigh Brendle, 19, has headed back to Villanova University and either wants to be a disability rights attorney or a musician and with her energy, she could probably do both.

“I was curious because growing up I’d nev er seen a disabled character on any of those outside of an episode. A blind character was on a Sesame Street episode, actually, a fraction of one. Is there something to that?” BrendleBrendlepondered.madesome sad discoveries. “The visual impairment representation that is awarded has a rate of one percent right now for children’s media for disability. It doesn’t give disabled kids someone to look up to when they are watching that. One in five Americans have some kind of disability now.”
“It is a pretty large group and to see it, they are either tokenizing or vilifying,” she added. She gave an example of tokenizing as the Sesame Street episode she referenced. “Where the character was only there for a fraction of an episode as if to check off a box.”As for as vilifying, “a lot of villains in cartoons have some sort of defect or dis ability and that is a really bad angle to take and a consistency that is really troubling as it casts in a kid’s mind that being different are the bad ones and the ones to look out for,” she Brendleadded.released a video on social media Photos By Bob Vosseller Brick resident Kaleigh Brendle greets attendees to a recent Jackson Library program.(Kaleigh - See Page 18)

During her presentation she would integrate music with an appropriate song related to the chronology of her story. “The songs supplement the story,” she said. The two stories she shared included one from 2020 which was an issue with the College Board regarding AP (advanced placement) exams. “They refused to pro vide blind and deaf test takers braille and other critical accommodations during the COVID-19 pandemic and other test takers and I stood up against that and ultimately won that struggle and secured the braille that we needed.” She said Jackson Librarian Christine Mec ca asked her to talk about another advocacy project she undertook a year later as part of her senior thesis. “I went to a specialized program at a high school and so they re quired a capstone project where you can’t just write the presentation you actually have to start to institute change about whatever you are discussing. “I want to be a disability rights attorney and what I ultimately chose was representa tion of disability in children’s media.” This included situation comedies, cartoons and some Disney programs.
President Trump has my vote and I think he should be able to run for President again for 8 more years as the 4 he was rightfully supposed to serve has been taken by that sleepy, cough ing idiot.

That is a really bad record.Heis going to be rep resenting part of Ocean County - the county with the largest senior popula tion outside of Florida and if his party gains control they’ve said they will re duce or eliminate both So cial Security and Medicare (these are not entitlements we’ve paid into them our whole lives). He may or may not say he supports that, but he could be part of the numbers that give them that power. Republicans in power always (during my adult life) lead to long term economic disasters nationally, but this would devastate our area quickly. We can’t wait ten years to be redistricted again.
Where Are These Angry Parents When They’re Really Needed? To protect our reproduc tive freedoms, we need to expand the Supreme Court. The Judiciary Act of 2021 would add four new seats to the Supreme Court, bring ing the number of justices to 13. It would help re store balance to a Court that Mitch McConnell has packed with right-wing extremists who just dis mantled abortion care in America.Recent polling showed that not only do a majority of Americans believe that the Supreme Court should uphold the right to abortion care, they also agree that we need to restore balance to the court and support adding additional judges to the Supreme Court. I’m urging Congress to pass the Judiciary Act so we can create an institution that moves away from par tisan politics and represents the good of all Americans.

Trump Will Win 2024
Chris Lundy News Editor UFC fighter Paddy Pim blett was interviewed fol lowing his recent winning match against American Jordan Leavitt. Instead of glorifying his victory, he spoke about the loss of one of his friends who had died by suicide the night before. It was all the more pow erful because he spoke of the stigma faced by men to talk about mental health –“Listen, if you’re a man and you’ve got weight on your shoulders and you think the only way you can solve it is by killing yourself, please speak to someone, speak to anyone…I know I’d rather have my mate cry on my shoulder than go to his fu neral next week.” Those of us in the mental health profession work dil igently to end the stigma of mental illness and sub stance abuse. We encourage candid conversations and reaching out for help; but words from athletes and public figures go a long way to helping to bring about the open conversations that are necessary to avoid tragedy. We can all help to end this stigma. Speak out about mental health and substance use topics. Pay attention to signals from others that they may be hurting. Reach out with compassion and under standing. Listen. Be there. You can make a difference.

All The SmithCongressmanHarmHasDone her up.” I guess three-word phrases are easy to remem ber.Mexico never paid for the wall. That was another of his promises. But in July, Biden sat down with Pres ident Obrador of Mexico, and hammered out an agree ment that has Mexico pay $1.5 billion – yes, billion – for border security for ourThenation.improvements will be for safety for the troops working there, and to make it easier to process people coming legally. To be clear, none of that money is for a wall. A wall is a stupid person’s solution. Anyone with a ladder or tools can get through it. The reason a great deal of the border has no wall is because they don’t work. Just look at Arizona Gov ernor Ducey’s plan to use stacked shipping containers to block an area off. It cost $6 million for a 1,000-foot barrier. A day later, one of them was tipped over by migrants. Ducey said that the containers hadn’t been welded together yet. But the point is, anyone with a blowtorch could cut a hole in any barrier, shipping container or wall. That’s why the immigration issue is more complex than any three-word phrase. And that’s why Biden was able to sit down and have a conversation with the leader of another nation and con vince them to do what was needed to be done.

“With today’s launch of Pay It Forward, New Jersey is the first state in the nation to model this innovative approach that will help residents obtain family-sus taining jobs and then pay their success forward by supporting future cohorts of students,” said Governor Murphy.
The State added to this commitment with appropriations of $5 million in Fis cal Year 2022 and $2.5 million in Fiscal Year 2023. The CEO Council is made up of the CEOs of BD, Campbell Soup Company, Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co., Prudential Financial, PSEG, RW JBarnabas Health, and Verizon. After a thorough due diligence pro cess, the New Jersey Pay It Forward Program selected a set of inaugural training providers with high-quality, industry-recognized training programs and a track record of strong employment outcomes, employer relationships, and experience serving learners from di verse backgrounds. New Jerseyans have the option to enroll in Hudson County Community College’s Nursing Program, a two-year, full-time associate degree program in Jersey City designed to prepare learners for careers as registered nurses. Participants com plete clinical placements to gain on-thejob nursing experience and prepare for roles as nurses in hospitals and other health care settings. The program offers evening, weekend, and daytime class schedules to accommodate working learners and learners with families. Learners can also enroll in New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Cy bersecurity Professional Bootcamp, a 10-month, part-time, online training program designed to prepare learners for cybersecurity careers. This course, which includes topics such as computer networking, cloud security, network security, and Python, takes place on nights and weekends to better serve the needs of working learners and learners withFinally,families.New Jerseyans have the option to enroll in Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) or Welding cours es at Camden County College. Classes take place at Camden County Technical School’s Sicklerville Campus or Penn sauken Campus.

“This initiative is another way in which my Administration is working to give more residents access to high-quality education and training that will lead to good-paying jobs and successful careers. Investing in our residents will not only give them the opportunity to create a better life for themselves and their families, but will also help meet employers’ needs and promote economic development throughout the state.” Participants who find jobs earning above a specific income threshold will repay the cost of their tuition over time. Any loan balance remaining after five years will be forgiven for borrowers in good standing. To help them succeed throughout the program, participants will also receive living stipends and free wraparound supports, including access to an emergency aid fund and mental health counseling services. Under the program, students will not have to re pay the living stipends or wraparound supports. The loans are intended to be a last-dollar option, allowing students to maximize the free resources available to them to minimize the amount they need to Membersrepay.of the New Jersey CEO Council, a coalition of CEOs from some of the state’s largest and most widely recognized companies, provided corpo rate contributions of approximately $5 million to the Pay It Forward Program.

Pay It Forward Program To Support Students In Emerging Fields
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy, the New Jersey CEO Council, and Social Finance announced the launch of the New Jersey Pay It Forward Program – a new and innovative workforce develop ment program that furthers the Gover nor’s ongoing commitment to helping residents obtain quality postsecondary education and training to advance their careers, as outlined in the New Jersey Higher Education State Plan and Jobs NJ. The Pay It Forward Program, which is the first of its kind in the nation, will help build a robust and talented work force while supporting economic growth in the state. Participants in the program will receive zero-interest, no-fee loans at no upfront cost, as well as non-re payable living stipends and wraparound supports, to allow them to affordably prepare for good-paying, career-track jobs in the health care, information tech nology (IT), and clean energy sectors.
The loans will enable participants to enroll in credential, certificate, and degree programs at one of three inau gural training providers: Registered Nursing at Hudson County Community College, Cybersecurity at New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Heat ing, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Welding at Camden County College. Loan terms are designed to be more borrower-friendly than even federal student loans.Allloan payments will be recycled back into the fund to ‘pay it forward’ for subsequent students’ training costs. The program aims to help participants find jobs while also helping employers fill in-demand posi tions in high-growth sectors to promote economic growth in New Jersey.
During the public comment period, a resident spoke about observing in cidents of clear-cutting properties and notifying the police and being referred to the Zoning Department to make a complaint.Ashewas also referred to calling Code Enforcement the resident asked during the public comment period of the meeting, “so now I’m wondering which one do I call? A permit is re quired for this.” “If they have the approvals there is no one to call, it is their property,” Flemming responded. The Code Enforcement office of the township was said to be the most ap propriate agency to handle that issue according to Flemming.

You can usually tell when something needs to be replaced - your smartphone screen is cracked, or your vacuum smells hot. But what about your hearing devic es? Here are five signs you need new technology:Malfunction: When you perform all the recommended maintenance diligently, but things are still going wrong, it’s time to consider new devices. If replaced batteries drain quickly or sounds remain muffled after a wax guard change, for instance, consider that a red flag. Oc casional repairs are normal; persistent problems that resist troubleshooting aren’t.Change in Hearing: Your hearing changes over time due to age, exposure to noise, and health events. We can often adjust your programming to meet your new needs, but sometimes your hearing changes so much that you need a differ ent level of technology.

Costly Repairs: Replacement parts for older hearing aid models are often scarce, especially if the model is dis continued. Think of your devices like a car: If repairing them costs so much that it makes more sense to replace them, go ahead and spring for a newer model. The general rule of thumb is pay for the repair once, but never twice!

1. Pickles Help Digestion. On some level, the lactobacillus content (while low) still provides a beneficial aid to your intestinal health. If you have an upset stomach, abdominal cramps or low stomach acid production (hypoch lorhydria), the acidity of a small amount of pickle juice may restore proper pH, which in turn causes digestive troubles to subside.

DISTRIBUTED BY DEAR PHARMACIST, INC. 2 Surprising Ways Pickle Juice Solves Health Problems Hear me out, I know it sounds weird, but pickle juice has some pretty amaz ing and surprising health benefits that you probably didn’t even know about. Pickles are fermented cucumbers (that have been pickled in salt water). Get it?
The pickles are pickled! (A little pickle pun never hurt anyone!) The fact is pickle juice is loaded with minerals, only 2 carbs, and 1 gram of fiber. In most cases, the water even contains healthy probiotic strains. In some states, like North Carolina where my daughter lives, pickle juice is held in high regard! So much so, that there is an annual pickle festival! When dining out in NC, many restaurants have pickle juice mixed with soda on the menu. There’s a drink called a “Pickleback Shot” which combines pickle brine with whiskey! There are all kinds of specialty drinks depending on where you live. So, while it may sound like face-puckering thought, pickle juice is utilized for many quick fixes! As for its medicinal benefits, here are 3 pretty cool ways pickle juice can improve your wellness:
2. Pickles Help Leg Cramps. Have a cramp? Pickle juice is a popular folk remedy that supposedly relieves muscle cramps (or reduces intensity), in under a minute of consumption! Like, almost immediately! It works incredibly fast and is faster than water alone when it comes to reducing muscle cramps. It probably works faster than things like Gatorade or other similar sports drinks!
Some suggest pickle juice for the morn ing after a night of drinking… I don’t know about that one, but I do think it could definitely help you recover from a workout or associated leg cramps. That’s probably its #1 folk remedy use. Perhaps a few spoonfuls in a cup of water could help someone with mild leg cramps. However, I wouldn’t drink it straight up if you are prone to heartburn or have an ulcer. Pickle juice contains a lot of sodium, and some believe that it triggers reflexes that essentially shut off misfiring neurons quickly, thereby alleviating cramps. We all probably have a dusty, sealed jar of old pickles that we’ve forgotten about, and if you’re like me, it’s probably sitting in the back corner of our fridge waiting for a sandwich! Make sure yours are fresh, and in date, and if you eat these lit tle guys, eat them in moderation because of the high sodium content. If you don’t like the taste of pickle juice straight up, you could pour a few teaspoonfuls into your salad dressing.

“The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force man aged and directed three simultaneous multi-agency investigations into high level cocaine distribution in Ocean, Monmouth, and Middlesex Counties, as well as New York City. During the course of these investigations, approx imately 50 additional law enforcement personnel were assigned to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force on a full-time basis. Mul tiple agencies, both within and outside of Ocean County, assisted in every aspect of all three investigations,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said. The investigations, identified as “Op eration Checkmate,” began in July 2021 and concluded in October of 2021, Bill himer Accordingstated.to officials, three cocaine networks were responsible for the import of more than three kilograms of cocaine per week into the Ocean, Monmouth, and Middlesex County areas. With surveillance methods and under cover operatives, “Operation Check mate” was successful with dismantling illicit controlled dangerous substance (CDS) distribution activities in these three counties, as well as New York City. On October 26, 2021, 24 people were arrested for various offenses involving distribution of drugs. In addition, 24 search warrants were executed resulting in the seizure of more than four kilograms of cocaine, over 15 pounds of marijuana, in excess of $650,000, seven firearms (three hand guns, three “ghost guns,” and one pistol grip shotgun), 10 vehicles and additional illegal narcotics.

Consider A Agreement
Caregiver
The Jackson Times, August 27, 2022, Page 15jerseyshoreonline.com
The advantages of having a Caregiver Agreement include establishing clear caregiver compensation, providing a prac tical housing arrangement and assisting a Medicaid plan. Family members overwhelmingly provide the care for elderly and disabled loved ones at home. Although it’s a la bor of love, taking care of ailing loved ones also has a market value, meaning that caretakers can be paid as a way to protect assets. It’s only fair that the child who is caring for the parent should be paid for the services. When a caregiver’s compensation is memorialized in a legal document, allegations by other siblings are minimized because the contract spells out the details. Further, to protect family relationships, it’s recommended that all family members agree with the Arrangement even if they are not parties to the agree ment.Byhaving a Caregiver Agreement, the parent may be able to avoid a nursing facility by providing for the parent to be able to remain in the parent’s home or the home of the caregiver instead of a nursing facility.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward. 732-505-1212 • RCSHEA.COM A Caregiver Agreement is a written contract entered into between a person needing care and a person providing care. Usually, the Caregiver Agreement is between an adult child and a parent, a relative or a friend. Through the use of a Caregiver Agreement, the disabled or elderly person can transfer money to family members as compensation rather than as a gift. A properly prepared Agreement specif ically lists what services the child is to provide to the parent and at what price. The Agreement must be in writing and entered into before the compensated ser vices are rendered. Since the caregiver child is getting “paid” they must report the income for tax purposes. In some cases, the parent may be able to deduct the payments as a medical expense.
A Caregiver Agreement can also be part of a Medicaid plan. As long as the Agreement is correctly drafted, and both parties abide by its terms, funds payable to the caregiver under the Agreement will accelerate Medicaid eligibility. Since pay ments are made for the services rendered, they should not be treated as gifts. This will thwart Medicaid penalties as a result of giving money directly to the caregiver child. Since caregiver agreements transfer money over a period of time, they are bet ter entered into sooner rather than later. The child should consider the following points if the child feels uncomfortable about taking money to care for the parent: A third-party caregiver would get paid for caring and giving room and board to the parent; If the parent were to apply for Medicaid, money that the child could have been paid for legitimately caring for their parent will instead be paid to the nursing home as part of a Medicaid spend down. A proper Caregiver Agreement can be a valuable elder-law planning tool in the right circumstances. Contact our office to see if a Caregiver Agreement makes sense for you.

OCEAN COUNTY – Members of the non-profit group Dine On Us are extremely excited with the success of their recent events even as they plan out their next one. Dine On Us is on a mission to provide dining and entertainment opportuni ties for our active military families who are not able to do so due to eco nomic hardships. To help support Dine On Us, come out to their Celebrity Golf Invitational on September 8, enter their Celebrity Golf Invitational Island Resort raffle ending that same day, and join them at their Chef’s Tasting At The Beach on October 2. For full details visit dineonus.org/events.
Some active enlisted military fami lies are on a pay scale low enough to qualify them for government assisted programs like food stamps and WIC. They were living in poverty prior to the COVID pandemic even with an additional second income. As soon as the pandemic hit, the spouse had to quit his/her job or quarantine off base for two weeks before he/she was able to return home. While restrictions have lessened, spouses are still limited to work be cause the outsourced day care is still Celebrity Golf Invitational To Raise Money For Soldiers not allowed back on the base and the spouse’s professional licenses are not transferrable to the state of New Jersey.Dine on Us was denied access to bring meals to Joint Base Mc Guire-Dix-Lakehurst, so they decid ed to find ways to get the military families off the base: either as a much-needed family night out, a long overdue date night, entertainment vouchers, a gas card, and groceries. These are all the basic liberties of life that our active military cannot enjoy. To recap, the KW Red Day Bowl-AThon results started us off strong by allowing the group to purchase 165 custom gift card packages for Active Military Families. Additionally, the group’s first Surf & Turf event brought in $5,000 that was put towards pur chasing an additional 35 gift card care packages.Eachcare package was valued at $300 and with upcoming 2022 events and the Christmas season on the way, the organization is aiming high to gain more funds to further our mission of rolling out another round of care packages to active New Jersey mili tary families in the area for a holiday season they will never forget.
JERSEY SHORE - The Eastern Gray Tree Squirrel is native to North America, but in some areas in the world, Europe, in particular, they are regarded as an inva sive species. The gray squirrel is the most common in our area. They are a diurnal species, active in the daytime, as opposed to the flying squirrel, also very present in New Jersey, which are nocturnal, active at night. Neither of them hibernate. The gray squirrel is a scatter-hoarder, meaning it hoards food in numerous small caches to recover later. It’s estimated that squirrels make several thousand caches each season. They possess very accurate spatial memory for the location of such caches. They use landmarks to retrieve them. That’s not to say they will not steal food from other squirrels’ caches. Squirrels will sometimes pretend to bury food if they think they are being watched by other animals. They do this by preparing a spot as usual, digging a hole, and miming the placement of food. In fact, the food is never placed in the spot, but concealed in their mouths. They The Eastern Gray Tree Squirrel then cover the spot as if they deposited food. How smart is that!
The gray tree squirrel is one of the few mammalian species able to descend a tree head first. Raccoons are another species able to do so.
“When I watched my cartoons in the morning, I was addicted to PBS Kids which I think also fostered my love of reading too,” she said. She noted how difficult the condi tions of the COVID-19 shut down were during her senior year in high school. “I was completely remote for it and had very little contact with my peers and was exclusively in my house for 17 months and that can be really isolating for somebody. Music is how I really coped with it.”
“I’m creating a type of activism ma jor at my college as there is an option to design your own major and what I am looking to create is using the legal system and using the media to advo cate for positive change,” she added.

“I am very much split on my two career interests of being an attorney and singer,” she said. She recently released an album, performed at the Algonquin Art Theater and won the Diane Turton Talent Show in 2018 where she performed a song off her album in front of 500 people. Her first of several White House appearances with the Princeton West minster Children’s Choir was quite memorable. “I had the honor of being the featured soloist and performing there is incredible. It is one of those things where you can’t believe it is ac tually happening. It is magical and we went during the Christmas holidays.
“We were performing for not only the diplomats but for their families and there were a lot of little kids and it was so, so cute,” the performer said. She formed the Sing for Serenity Choir “which is my pride and joy. It is an international online choir for the blind and visually impaired which I started five years ago.

Un fortunately, I couldn’t advocate for it as much as I wanted to because I had to go to college right after that but any chance I get to talk about it and bring the issue to light, I definitely do that.” She intends to contact Nickelodeon and Disney in the future “to see what is possible because that still is an ex isting issue.” She noted that Sheldon in the Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon shows representation in hav ing “autism or asperger’s and I believe there was a character on Modern Fam ily who has something. There is more adult oriented programming that does have representation.” She was joined by her mother Heather Brendle for the program who provided her some tips. Her mother said she was very proud of her daughter and her bright spirit even as she fought unsurmountable odds to make positive change.Thestory selections she made to punctuate her saga included the songs “Rise Up,” “That’s What Friends Are For,” “Smile,” the theme song from the animated film “Pocahontas” and “AtSheLast.”was diagnosed with a condition commonly known as LCA. “It feels like I am extremely near sided when I have my very strong prescription glasses on. I don’t have any peripheral vision. I don’t have any depth percep tion. I can’t read print for long periods of time without getting substantial headaches.“Ihavehad it since birth and my brother who is totally blind has the same condition,” she added. Her musical interest began at an early age as well. “My first memory of singing was my dad holding me up and me singing Sesame Street songs to passersby on the porch. I watched people stop and listen to me. It was one of those things that was always there. I don’t know quite how it began.

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The only way to truly eulogize a reporter is to write an article aboutPatriciathem.A.
Miller was the name behind a lot of articles that you might have read from the last few decades. If it was about the slog of trying to recover from Super storm Sandy, there’s a good chance it had her byline. Two other favorite topics were lifting up people who needed help and tearing down corrupt politicians. She passed away recently, and when the news broke, it was followed by a wave of condolences from people with long roots in the communities she covered. She and I would talk about how negative people could be on social media. I think it would surprise her to see the warm things people said about her. Her niece reached out to share a little bit about her: “Pat Miller had a kind heart and an enormous love of animals. She loved writing and being part of her community. She is survived by her brother John Miller and wife Darlene, and niece Erin Miller.”
We at Micromedia didn’t get the chance to work with her long. She started her career at the Asbury Park Press in 1984. In addi tion to her beat, she wrote a weekly column “Ocean Diary.” She spent seven years at Greater Media Newspapers and served as managing editor of the Edison/Metuchen Sentinel, the Woodbridge Sentinel and the Brick Township Bulletin. She spent eight years as a Patch editor. It was during this time that we used to cover Berkeley together, and that’s how we got to know each other. She kept trying to Photo by Micromedia Publications steal me away, but I had a good thing go ing with Micromedia. When she got lost in a Patch reshuffling, I scooped her up. I knew she was dependable, honest, and cared about the community. We get into this business because of compassion, and Pat’s heart was as big as they come. She was drawn to underdogs. If someone was fighting insurmountable odds, she was their cheerleader. She celebrated volunteers.Andspeaking of underdogs, she had a soft spot for pets. I took inspiration from this, and it’s why I post pets up for adoption in our papers from time to time. Pat knew what to write, and she knew what not to write (that’s an important skill they don’t teach you in journalism school).Shewon a number of awards during her time as a journalist, including the New Jersey Press Association, the New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists and the North Jersey Press Club. Her fairness earned her respect from elected officials. If a politician didn’t like her, that politician was probably up to no good. Upon hearing of her passing, former Senator Andrew Ciesla even commented “Sorry to learn of her passing. Pat covered a lot of my public life and always did a very nice job. May God bless her soul.” Her tight connections to the community showed in her writing. For her, reporting was personal. And that’s why I set out to write about the one topic she never wrote about – herself. Thank you, Pat, for all your help and all your heart.

Give as good as you get. You might need to utilize extra empathy and tact to help with someone’s distress as the week unfolds. A partner or loved one might be more supportive and affectionate than usual.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) : You can’t expect to win every time or for everything to be perfect. Acknowledge and validate yourself for doing the best you can do. Ac centuate the positive as the week progresses and celebrate every victory.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Listen to a variety of opinions to widen your horizons. Your words can have a positive effect on some one. Work with a family member’s biases or desire to hear only what they want to hear in the upcoming week.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) : Mentor and be mentored to share helpful knowledge. Your flair for fashion or great people skills might come in handy in the upcoming week. Find ways to enhance your world without going overboard.

3. Add beans and scallions to processor. Pulse until ingredi ents are finely chopped.
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dig in and do your best. You will find that you have access to reserves of strength and persistence in the week to come. You can easily investigate deep subjects and handle detailed mental work.
4. Transfer black bean mixture to bowl with egg mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir ingredients until just com 5.bined.Use wet hands to divide black bean mixture into 4 portions and form 4 lightly packed balls. Gently flatten each ball into a circle that measures 3 1/2 inches across. Transfer patties to a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Never poke a sleeping dragon. You might need to tiptoe around a few people with short tempers in the week ahead. However, you should also be able to make some timely purchases and connect with a cool crew.
Have a can of black beans in your pantry? You’re ready to make one heck of a veggie burger! But first, here’s a little history on canned beans. The process of getting beans from the plant to the can is a marvel of culinary engi neering. First, bean plants are cut down and left to dry out. Then, machines separate the dried beans from their pods. While the exact canning process varies from brand to brand, it usually starts with cleaning the beans, sorting them by size, and removing any beans that are damaged. Then, the dried beans are quickly cooked in hot water before they’re sealed in their cans along with water and salt. The salt not only seasons the beans but also makes their skins more tender. Fi nally, the beans are pressure cooked, right in their cans -no pot required. The result? Perfectly cooked, flavorful beans, ready to use at a mo ment’s notice.
Serves 4
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your finger on the pulse and marshal your resources. Some extra behind-the-scenes intel could help you out a lot. Be wise with money, you might easily incur extra expenses in the week ahead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Manage your life the way you would manage a busi ness. In the early part of the week, it may make sense to curtail unnecessary expenses. Roll up your shirt sleeves and get to work to keep up with an energetic partner.
