By Stephanie Faughnan STAFFORD - A time capsule encapsulating the “now” of Stafford Township will remain untouched for the next fifty years.

Stafford Township officials entombed the time capsule in a special brick-faced vault at an outdoor ceremony. Newly crowned members of the township’s royal family also joined in the celebration.

“I know we’re here in 2021, but 2020 was a very unusual year,” began Stafford Township Mayor Gregory E. Myhre. “Some say it’s one to forget, but I think it’s one we’re all going to remember.”

Although he wasn’t able to make it to the ceremony on time, Councilman George Williams said he came up with the time capsule idea. It caught fire with his colleagues, and everyone from the community was invited to contribute.

The concept was not just about capturing the (Time Capsule - See Page 4)

Lacey PSA Stresses Need For Vaccination

By Bob Vosseller LACEY – Township Mayor Peter Curatolo was pleased to note some heavy traffic but not the kind that is sometimes seen on Route 9 or Lacey Road.

This kind of traffic is online and officials are happy about it.

A township video

promoting the need for COVID-19 vaccination has “received heavy traffic on the NJ Department of Health Facebook page and that partnership was critical in getting the word out,” the mayor said.

Curatolo, who works as the coordinator of the community health

services division of the Ocean County Health Department added, “it was a real testament as to how government at different levels can work together to benefit the public good and for that, I am grateful.”

The mayor thanked the Board of County Commissioners for

their “steadfast support provided to our municipalities and the Ocean County Health Department before, during and post COVID. We simply cannot do what we do for our residents at the municipal level without the leadership demonstrated by our Board of County Com-

missioners.”

The video features the mayor stating his pride in Lacey Township in “stepping up to get vaccinated.” It highlights various nature scenes within the community and its businesses. Lacey is currently observing its 150th anniversary year.

Parade, New Events Mark Town’s Anniversary

By Bob Vosseller LACEY – The Township is enjoying its year-long 150th birthday and that warrants a number of big events - including a parade.

The Lacey 150th Anniversary Parade will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 5.

The parade route will start at the Municipal Building, then going down R. Kennedy Blvd (service road heading into Gille Park) turning right into Gille Park and ending on Bob Court Lane near the entrance to Gille Park.

After the parade, there will be a festival held within Gille Park.

Various township organizations will be on site hosting games and activities such as sand art, crafts, a bike rodeo, sports skills challenges, demonstrations from local clubs and much more.

There will be plenty of opportunities to win a number of cool prizes like a Lacey 150th Challenge Coin, and other Lacey 150th merchandise. There will be a variety of refreshments available to purchase.

The evening will wrap up with a unique outdoor wrestling show from LTW, Locked Target Wrestling, at the infield of Softball Field 1. This show will feature some of Lacey Township’s finest professional wrestlers.

The free show starts at 8:30 p.m. and those attending are encouraged to bring your chair.

The parade is the latest event celebrating the sesquicentennial. Other events scheduled throughout the year include Photo Contest, Geocaching Scavenger Hunt, Beach Blanket Bingo, The Lacey Life movie produced by Girl Scout Troop 50249, Lacey Birthday Bash hosted by Argo’s Farm, and a Town Wide Thanksgiving celebration.

“Since our founding in 1871, Lacey Township has been offering families a welcomed retreat to call home,” Mayor Peter A. Curatolo said. “As residents, we all know of the many reasons that we call Lacey home. Our beautiful parks, our rich culture and great schools but this year in particular we celebrate a landmark birthday – our 150th.”

The mayor noted that from the township’s (Anniversary - See Page 4)

founding in 1871, “through to today, we are indeed the best kept secret in Ocean County.

We offer all the amenities of fine living with much less traffic than our neighbors to the north! From our school children to our senior citizens, an eclectic array of people are proud to call Lacey home.”

Mayor Curatolo noted that “from the time when Brigadier General John Lacey fought for America’’s freedom in the Revolutionary War through to the many sacrifices that our military families make to this day, we celebrate you.

We celebrate our rich history and we celebrate Lacey Township. So please, raise your hands, raise a glass and toast the Lacey lifestyle.”

end of a decade. It also meant sharing the challenges of the pandemic with the generations to follow.

The time capsule itself took shape in the form of a treasure chest fabricated by Kurt Brownell, an employee of Stafford Township’s Department of Public Works.

He equipped it with locks and used heavy steel, designing the 130-pound container to stand the test of time.

Authorities are a bit vague about the time capsule contents, although a quick glance inside revealed multiple large envelopes.

Some wondered if a modern-day cell phone

would turn up as an artifact when the time capsule is reopened in another five decades.

Or if someone thought to include a sample COVID-19 test kit.

“People from around the community wrote letters and took pictures,” said Myhre.

“Some made crafts and found objects that would fit in the time capsule.”

Students throughout Stafford played a significant role in the contents of the treasure chest. Many shared what they found was most important to them – even if it was as simple as recording their present-day friends.

Fifty years seems a lifetime away to wait for what amounts to buried treasure. As Stafford’s future leaders dig up the past, they may be in for some surprises.

PSA:

Continued From Page 1 “We have so much pride in Lacey Township.

We see it every day in the beauty of our nature and the growth of our businesses and most of all in our people,” the mayor states at the start of the 30 second video.

“Today I am so proud of you because you stepped up to meet the challenge of the pandemic. Today I want to talk to you about our victory over this virus,” the mayor says amid shots of opening day of the Little League season at a township ballfield. “We came together on opening day of Lacey Little League as our community began to open up after restrictions to contain the virus affected us all.”

The mayor added, “Lacey, we are getting back to normal but we have one more thing to do. Our work is not yet complete. We want everyone to get vaccinated.”

The video cuts to a scene of the Lacey branch of the Ocean County Library where a local clinic was set up for residents to “pick whatever shot (of COVID-19) vaccine you want, Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson.

We’ll have more local vaccination sites set up here in Lacey Township,” Curatolo says in the video noting one that was held on July 21 at Mill Pond Elementary School and one is scheduled for September 25, noon to 3 p.m. during Lacey Day to be held in Gille Park.

He also plugged OCHD vaccination sites.

“You can go to any of the sites offered by the Ocean County Health Department to get vaccinated.”

“The people who are getting sick with COVID-19 right now are unvaccinated. The

The Southern Ocean Times, July 31, 2021, Page 5 people who are passing away are unvaccinated. These vaccines are safe, effective are free and available. Step up Lacey and get the shot,” the mayor said at the conclusion of the video.

Comments to the video’s posting on the NJ Department of Health Facebook page were not all positive to the message of the public service announcement however. While one stated “to all you anti-vaxers be sure to be honest and mask up while the rest of us enjoy our freedom” others responded, “no it is the other way around. All those getting vaccinated are victims of social engineering and aren’t capable of critical thinking. Those who aren’t falling for all this virus nonsense want freedom and are enjoying freedom because we aren’t controlled by the fear mongering news.”

“Virus nonsense? Tell that to the families of the 500,000 plus who died from this,” another post responded.

Those wishing to view the video can visit this link fb.watch/6_K4j3t6KX/ A video on the NJ Department of Health Face book site also includes an OCHD PSA that features Gary Quinn, a former Lacey Township committeeman, in his role as current director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners. Quinn is seen stressing the importance of county residents to get vaccinated noting a variety of vaccination sites available in Ocean County.

According to the latest statistics on the New Jersey Department of Health website, 43% of Lacey residents are fully vaccinated.

However, that number climbs to 53% for adults 18 and older, and 88% for seniors 65 and older.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Congressman Kim Introduces Bill To Limit Prescription Drug Costs For Seniors From The Desk Of

Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03), Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04), and Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11) introduced the Capping Drug Costs for Seniors Act, a bill that would create an out-of-pocket

spending maximum for the 46 million Americans on Medicare enrolled in the Medicare Part D prescription drug program.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation there are currently more than 1.2 million New Jerseyans enrolled in Medicare Part D. “No senior should be forced to decide between paying for their prescription drugs or paying for rent or food. We owe it to them to provide the peace of mind that comes with health care they can

afford, and this bill would ensure that the cost for their lifesaving prescription drugs never spirals out of control. I’m proud to work with Congressman Horsford and Congresswoman Stevens on this important effort and look forward to getting this passed through Congress.”

Currently, the Medicare program has no out-of-pocket cap on how much beneficiaries pay for critical prescription dr ugs. The Capping Dr ug Costs for Seniors Act would create an annual cap of $2,000 for out-of-pocket costs on prescription drugs under Medicare Part D, allowing most Medicare Part D

recipients to save approximately $4,000 per year. The bill would also require prescription drug plans and pharmaceutical companies to pay a higher percentage of Medicare drug spending.

In addition to the Capping Drug Costs for Seniors Act, Congressman Kim has introduced the SAVE Act, which would help lower health care costs by helping to establish state-based health insurance exchanges, and the Healthcare for Our Troops Act, a bill that would provide no-cost TRICARE Reserve Select for members of the Reserves and National Guard.

Civics Instruction Will Now Be Required At Middle School Level From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON − Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation (S-854) requiring civics instruction at the middle school level.

Currently, New Jersey is one of a minority of states which does not require civics instruction for middle school students.

Under the legislation, the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University will be directed to prepare civics curriculum guidelines for local school boards, ensuring that middle and high school students study the values and principles underlying the American system of constitutional democracy, the function of government, and the role of a citizen in a democratic society.

The bill also directs the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University to provide professional development and other resources for high school social studies teachers as they fulfill the requirement of integrating civics into the existing United States history course. Under the bill, beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, each board of education is required to provide a course of study in civics at the appropriate grade level.

The legislation is also known as “Laura Wooten’s Law” in honor of the longest continuously serving poll worker in American history. Laura Wooten worked polls in New Jersey for 79 years before passing away in 2019.

“By deepening civics instruction in middle school and high school, we are giving students the tools they need to be more engaged and informed citizens,”

said Gover nor Mur phy.

“An understanding of civics strengthens our democracy by ensuring an understanding of the role that everyone plays in the future of their community, our state, and our nation.

I am proud to sign this bill into law and honor Laura Wooten’s incredible civic legacy.”

“While civics has been a key element of our state’s learning standards for decades, this new law greatly increases the focus and attention that schools will place on civics instruction,” said Dr. Angelica Allen-McMillan, Acting Commissioner of Education. “The additional instruction that students will receive will ultimately lead to a well-informed and well-rounded citizenry.”

“Government leaders have been sounding the alarm about the civics crisis in this country for years, and I am grateful we are finally taking action,” said Senator Shirley Turner. “The crisis reached a breaking point after the November election, which culminated in an insurrection at our U.S. Capitol in January. Safeguarding our democracy is now more urgent than ever, and one of the best ways we can do that is by teaching our future generations about the importance of civic skills, engagement, and participation and the value of a democratic process. The lack of civics knowledge creates a challenge to maintaining a perfect union, establishing justice, and ensuring domestic tranquility. We must learn to work together for the good of all of our communities and begin to bridge the deep political divide that exists in this country.”

“A well-rounded education in civics is essential for creating knowledgeable, engaged citizens who understand the sacrifices and hardships made on behalf

of our democracy,” said Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean. “The law…will help provide students with the skills and background necessary for them to actively participate in democratic society. Every student in our public schools will have the opportunity to learn about how our government functions, the rights of citizens, and the values our nation was built on.”

“I think we all appreciate how critical teaching civics is to the continuation of our democracy,” said Arlene Gardner, President of the NJ Center for Civic Education at Rutgers. “This new requirement for a civics course in New Jersey middle schools is a well thought-out and carefully considered effort to address an educational

and citizenship need. As president of the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University, I am both humbled and proud to be able to help in the implementation of this new course and in bringing New Jersey to the forefront of reimaging civic learning for the 21st century.”

“My mother would be so honored to know that a bill would be passed recognizing her legacy of civic responsibility,” said Yvonne Hill, the daughter of Laura Wooten. “She always felt that the youth should be involved in exercising the hard-fought right to vote and help make change. Her famous words were ‘Don’t say you can’t make a difference. How can you make a difference if you don’t vote?’”

FLUORESCIEN EYE STAIN TEST

Ironically, it is difficult to see injury on an eye’s surface without a bit of help.

This is why ophthalmologists use a fluorescein eye stain test when searching for damage on the cornea. The cornea is the clear outer covering on the eye that protects it from dust, germs, and direct light. When applied, fluorescein dye highlights abrasions, scratches, and foreign objects on the cornea’s surface. To see these highlights properly, a cobalt blue light is shown into the eye. The fluorescein eye stain test may stain the skin around the eyes or any material that comes into contact with tears for a day or so, but the procedure is completely safe and free of side effects.

After the test, your doctor will use the results to diagnosis any problems you’re having with your eyes. They’ll meet with you to discuss the damage discovered on your cornea and plan any necessary treatment. Our eye center is dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family.

Please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES today at 732-349-5622 to schedule an appointment. Evening hours are available most nights of the week.

STAFFORD – On day four of the Youth Police Academy, the cadets started their morning off putting their physical abilities to the test in a PT Competition!

The rest of the morning was dedicated to crime scene investigation, where the recruits got to process a mock crime scene with the help of Detectives Smith and Jillson.

After lunch, Officer Vincent led an instruction on DWI enforcement and the recruits were given the opportunity to operate pedaled carts while wearing “Fatal Vision” goggles. The recruits ended with water balloon fun and a visit from the ice cream truck!

On day five, recruits were given a special visit from Joseph Solda, Chief Flight Nurse

with AirMed One Hackensack Meridian Health. After a flight in and a presentation on the Medical Helicopter, the students had a Q&A session with the pilots, flight nurses, and paramedic. Cadets were enthused to learn what a trauma flight call entails, how the helicopter can travel approximately 150 mph, and how blood transfusions can now be done while in the air. A big thank you to AirMed One for making the kids day today!

Before graduation, recruits enjoyed a pizza lunch courtesy of Joeys’ Pizza & Pasta. Both kids and instructors didn’t want this week to end. The day concluded with a graduation ceremony with the recruits and officers.

Congratulations Stafford Township Police Academy Class of 2021!

MANAHAWKIN – Over the 2020 November/December holidays, Elk members, family and friends packed 30 Christmas stockings for the military, to thank them for what they do and wish all a Happy Holiday.

These were mailed to Clear Air Force Station, Denali Borough, Alaska, then under the command of Lt. Col Shahn Rashid, Commander of the 13th Space Warning Squadron (SWS).

The 13th SWS, along with the 213th SWS and Alaska Air National Guard, provide missile warning and defense, space domain awareness, and combat capabilities.

The 30 service members who received the stockings did not have the opportunity to go home for the holidays. The Elk members recently received an exceptional framed print from the base with hand-written thank you notes.

STAFFORD – At a recent Township Council Meeting, Mayor Myhre and the Township Council congratulated and honored Stafford Township resident Walter Radcliffe on his 100th Birthday.

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER– A Barnegat couple has been charged with the distribution of narcotics according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer.

The Prosecutor stated that detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force working with multiple law enforcement agencies, identified a residence in Barnegat that was being used

by Jason Maxson, 50, and Laurie Maxson, 51, to illegally store and distribute pain medication throughout the state.

Detectives from the Prosecutor’s NSF along with Agents from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, Barnegat Township Police Department Crime Reduction Unit and Patrol Division, Ocean Township Police Department Detective Bureau, and Ocean County Sheriff ’s Office K-9 Unit, established surveillance of the Barnegat house on July 20.

The detectives monitored the Maxsons as they left their home and entered a 2021 Honda Accord. Barnegat Township Police conducted a motor vehicle stop and the Maxsons were arrested without incident.

A court-authorized search warrant was issued to examine the Barnegat residence and officers found approximately 37,000 Tramadol pills and 3,400 Hydrocodone pills. The couple were both transported to Barnegat Township Police Headquarters

where they were charged and released on a summons pending a future court appearance.

Jason Maxson was charged with Possession of Hydrocodone Pills with Intent to Distribute; Possession of Tramadol Pills with Intent to Distribute; Possession of Hydrocodone Pills; Possession of Tramadol Pills and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia His wife was likewise charged with Possession of Hydrocodone Pills with Intent to Distribute; Possession of Tramadol Pills with Intent to Distribute; Possession of Hydrocodone Pills; Possession of Tramadol Pills; and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Billhimer thanked the many law enforcement units that worked with his office’s Narcotics Strike Force which included the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, United States Postal Inspection Service, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Asset Forfeiture Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, Barnegat Township Police Department Crime Reduction Unit and Patrol Division, Stafford Township Police Department Drug Enforcement Unit and K-9 Unit, Ocean Township Police Department Detective Bureau, and Ocean County Sheriff ’s Office K-9 Unit.

Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

3 Tips For Better Battery Life

It’s a Netflix movie night when suddenly — Argh! — you hear the “beep, beep” of your nonrechargeable hearing aid batteries going dead. For longer battery life, take charge with these three tips.

Pulling the stay-fresh colored tab immediately activates the battery and can’t be undone, so do this only when you’re ready to insert the battery in your hearing aid.

Wait at least 3 minutes before you close the battery door. The reason is oxygen needs to get inside the battery to turn up the voltage.

Powering down your hearing devices helps the batteries last, so be sure to turn off your hearing aids — and completely open the battery door — when not in use.

Hot cars and super-cold spaces aren’t great places for batteries, so store them at room temperature when possible — not in the fridge — to help preserve battery life.

Did you know? The majority of our patients are not utilizing rechargeable hearing aids which eliminates the need to open/close battery doors and/or replace the battery every week. In general, the rechargeable hearing aid can deliver allday power (18-24 hours), so you don’t miss a beat. To learn more, call Dr. Izzy at Garden State Hearing & Balance Center.

Offices are located in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting. 732-818-3610 or www.gardenstatehearing.com

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

How Certain Medications Increase Lung Complications

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The worldwide pandemic has caused enormous public health problems and substantial mortality, so it is important that vulnerable groups of people know the information that I’m sharing today.

If you’ve followed my life’s work, you know that one of my passions is the phenomena of drug nutrient depletion. This describes how medications rob the body of essential nutrients via their mechanism of action. It’s something I call the “drug mugger” effect, and I have a book by the same name. The classic example that everyone understands is with antibiotics. These drugs will rob the body of essential microflora in the intestines because they cannot discriminate between good “bugs” and bad ones. Another classic example is with oral contraceptives which mug you of various B vitamins and minerals, leading to a higher risk of hypothyroidism.

Today’s article is to explain the relationship between certain prescribed medications and complications that arise from the depletion of essential nutrients. That said, you should never discontinue a medication simply because it is suppressing a particular nutrient.

Instead, you should install a security system in your body by simply taking the nutrients that are being mugged. This allows you to remain on your medication, while mitigating side effects that would have occurred if you didn’t restore the nutrients being stolen.

You may not realize this, but two categories of medication can suppress zinc in the human body. Those include the antihypertensives which lower blood pressure, and the acid-reducing medications for heartburn.

These and other medications can negatively influence the status of zinc in your body

which participates in hundreds of important metabolic reactions including those which allow you to hear well, have lovely skin, and improve fertility. When zinc levels decline it impairs one’s immunity, and lowers your resistance to pathogens. Zinc deficiencies also suppress your ability to do good cellular housekeeping because you can’t effectively make glutathione anymore in your liver.

Foods that are rich in zinc include beef, dairy, oysters, seafood, whole grains and nuts/seeds.

Several other micronutrients are important and these include vitamin D, vitamin C and probiotics. Malnutrition, medications and/ or a diet consisting of nutritionally naked foods will lead to deficiencies in all of these.

Medications which impact levels of the nutrients are vast, too many to list here.

Here are the most important and surprising categories of medications that reduce micronutrients. I’ve also included a few lifestyle factors that you can control: Zinc - Acid blockers, Antihypertensives, Corticosteroids, Excessive Calcium, Coffee and Smoking Vitamin D - Antacids, Cholesterol binders, Anticonvulsants, Kidney Damage and Lack of Sunlight Vitamin C - Anti-hypertensives, Aspirin, Corticosteroids, Hormones and SERMs Probiotics - Antibiotics, Estrogen containing drugs, Acid blockers and NSAIDs For a comprehensive list of each nutrient, and all the drug muggers, please refer to my book by the same name. It is sold nationwide at book stores, as well as Amazon. If you’d like to read the longer version of this article, I’m happy to email it to you, just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law UBER- Lyft Transportation Network Companies

Michael J. Deem, Esq.

Are You Adequately Insured During A Ride Share?

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Over the last few years, Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft have become the go-to livery service rather than the common taxi driver. Many people use these companies on a daily or weekly basis.

But what happens when you are involved in a collision while a passenger in a Lyft or Uber rideshare vehicle? Are you covered?

Recently, the New Jersey Legislature defined the scope of mandatory insurance coverage for the transportation network companies and their drivers (such as Uber or Lyft). While an occupant of a prearranged ride, the transportation network company and or the driver shall maintain the following insurance coverage for your benefit: (1) primary automobile liability insurance in the amount of at least $1,500,000 for death, bodily injury, and property damage; and (2 uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in an amount of at least $1,500,000.

This insurance coverage, which is to be maintained by the transportation network company (Uber / Lyft), shall not be dependent upon your automobile insurer first denying a claim, nor shall your automobile insurance policy be required to first deny a claim. This means that the insurance provided by the Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft is primary.

However, the Transportation Network Companies are not required to provide medical coverage in the event you are injured while an occupant of the rideshare vehicle.

Moreover, because Uber and Lyft are a form a livery service, the ride share vehicle is not covered under your automobile Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical expense insurance coverage. Consequently, unless

you have access to health insurance, you will be uninsured for your medical expenses although, if you happen to fall into the uninsured status, you are not without recourse.

An uninsured passenger may recover his/ her medical expenses from the party who caused the collision. This is a departure from the previous concept of the personal injury protection laws which prohibited recovery of medical expenses from the atfault driver.

Finally, the Limitation on Lawsuit Option which ordinarily restricts an injured motorists’ right to sue for personal injuries, shall not be asserted by a transportation network company or a transportation network company driver in defense to any action for damages arising from a prearranged ride, nor shall it be asserted against any party not receiving personal injury protection benefits in any action for damages arising from a prearranged. This means that your personal injury lawsuit will not be burdened with the requirement that you prove that the collision caused an objectively verifiable permanent injury. Rather, any disability related to the collision will suffice, which is a much simpler burden of proof.

Ridesharing has become much easier and transparent with the advancement of technology. So it’s about time the Legislature has acted to protect the interests of the consumer by mandating insurance coverage and removing the obstacles of a lawsuit in the event of an injury while riding in a livery vehicle.

What is a “Mom & Pop” Business?

A small, independent, family owned, controlled and operated business.

It has a small amount of business volume. It is not franchised.

“Open for business in a single location.”

So if your “Mom or Pop” need the services of rehabilitation and nursing services, it just makes sense to go to a “Mom & Pop.”

Here is a picture of a true “Mom & Pop” business:

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jul 31 - aug 6

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): YHead off problems at the pass. Attend to financial obligations before they can disrupt your budget or interrupt your routines. In the week ahead, don’t splurge if you shouldn’t.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Face the fact that there will be times when you don’t receive instant gratification. There may be a hidden catch in a plan this week. Be flexible with all of your plans, as they may change.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Only recommend things you’re sure of. Avoid involvement in anything that seems sketchy and could backfire. Explain things in detail so that no lingering doubts hamper the outcome in the week to come.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone might doubt your ability, so take steps to prove them wrong as the week unfolds.

Achieve your goals and hit the target by developing a picture of the future and aiming your energies in that direction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can mentally grasp the ins and outs of a complicated situation. Use your knowledge to devise a plan that benefits everyone involved. Avoid impulse spending and hang onto your cash in the week ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone might think you’re doing nothing when in fact you’re doing a great deal. Make the most of your harmonious relationships this weekend, as you may not be as well attuned later in the week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your roman-

tic nature may be fired up today, and your vivid imagination likely has few boundaries.

You’re still practical enough to avoid risky business in the week ahead and can dissuade a partner from overspending.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s easy for you to understand the need for order and planning. Pay attention to lessons learned from experience as this week unfolds. Sometimes you must remind people of the past to persuade them to change.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you want to succeed, consider the well-being of all concerned. Don’t put your foot in your mouth at the workplace by offering uninvited advice. Focus on being in the right place at the right time this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Achieving goals can become a game that gives you permission to go for broke. Although you might be popular at work, someone may be jealous of your success. Hold off on making major purchases this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Respect any reasonable request for personal space.

People who rub shoulders with you in a group setting might secretly be offended by familiarity or a lack of formality. Use good manners in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Some people do their best work behind the scenes.

You might not be in the spotlight, but you still can make a valuable contribution. You won’t need to micromanage a situation to get other people to cooperate.
