New Police Chief Sworn In

By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – Capt.

Joh n Stor row has been named the next chief of police for the Howell Township Police Department.

Storrow, who is a 28-year member of the force, was named chief on July 29 with the position taking effect on August 1.

Back in March, pre- –Photo courtesy Howell vious police chief Township A n d r e w Ku d r ick announced his retirement after being with the department for 32 years and serving as chief for seven. Afterwards, Captain Mark Pilecki took the reins as the new chief in an interim basis for the past four months.

Storrow started his law enforcement career at the Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Office in 1993 and joined Howell Township Police Department two years later in 1995 in the patrol division. He then became a field training officer and sergeant in 2003, followed by detective sergeant in 2005, lieutenant in 2011 and captain in 2015.

For 22 years, Storrow has served on both the Howell Township Police Department S.WA.T. team and the Monmouth County Emergency Response Team as an assistant team leader, tactical operator, and explosives breacher.

DEP Backs Solar Farm On Landfill Protestors Heat Up Opposition To Horse Racing

By Bob Vosseller OCEANPORT – It was hot out during the heat wave but area activists didn’t care. Their aim was to put the heat on those involved with horse racing and to bring awareness to the gruel-

ing heat horses were enduring that day at Monmouth Park Racetrack.

The activists who came out from various animal rights organizations utilized mobile billboards in their protest against animal cruelty noting horse

deaths at Monmouth Park during the Haskell Stakes. The rally was sponsored by Horseracing Wrongs.

By Mark Bator HOW ELL – T he Planning Board has approved the application of Monmouth Solar 1, LLC to construct a 239-acre solar farm on a former sanitary landfill in the township.

Appear ing before the Planning Board, attorney Grace Chun returned with new evi-

dence seeking approval for a Preliminary and Final Major Site Plan to construct a solar energy facility located at 2921 Lakewood Allenwood Road in Howell.

The land is owned by Monmouth County, and the applicant sought to keep the existing maintenance and pump (Solar - See Page 2)

“At the May hearing the Board Planner asked some really good questions with respect to the buffer,” Chun said, “We went back, we did our homework, we spoke with the (State Department of Envi-

ronmental Protection), we got documents from the D.E.P. and I believe we continue to have jurisdiction in this matter.”

Opened in 1946, the landfill was officially closed 50 years later. As part of its closing plans, the D.E.P. capped it and provided a three-foot layer of soil above it. The site is somewhat unique in that it is surrounded by four streams and associated wetlands and the cap, as well as the soil layer, helps to protect the area.

Because of the inability to drive support poles into the soil, the solar panels will sit on ballast blocks on the ground.

The framework that supports the solar panels will then rest atop the ballast blocks to avoid any penetration into the cap, and the subsequent incursion of contaminants into the soil. When it is fully operational, the site is expected to generate 19 megawatts of power and would tie directly into the JCP&L power grid.

During the May application, Chun and her accompanying professionals met with stiff resistance from the Board regarding the encroachment on the required 50-foot buffer zone due to the fence and roadway that already exists within the site. The issues and possible solutions involving the buffer had been enumerated by Howell Township Planner Jennifer Beahm in a February letter to the applicant’s legal and professional experts.

When those concerns appeared to be unaddressed by the applicant during their May presentation, Planning Board Chairman Brian Tannenhaus was moved to comment that Monmouth Solar 1, LLC had been given a “potential solution and then you guys decided just to completely ignore it, and then just try to jam [the application] down our throat.”

Repurposing a former sanitary landfill raises concerns for potential ecological disturbance. Large level construction at the closed Monmouth County landfill could breach the cap, where the gradient of the land could cause storm water runoff to carry contaminants into nearby waterways and riparian buffers.

Chun went on to explain to the Board members that because of this, the DEP has a post-closure care period which is designed to maintain all the stipulations set forth by the agency at the time of the landfill’s closure. Chun said that because of the “exceptional circumstances” presented by the requirements of the DEP, it directly inf luenced the applicant’s “inability to make certain changes to the project” regarding the buffer and the existing gravel road.

It was at this point in the proceedings that Chun found an ally on the Board.

“So, if I could just cut through it,” Beahm said, interrupting Chun’s opening remarks, “they need relief from the buffer on the one side of the landfill where their solar array is, for the [gravel] drive and the fence. And it is very clear to me based upon the information that’s been provided that the location of the road [is] in accordance with the closure plan, and [it] cannot be relocated.”

Several Board members seemed to nod in approval during the planner’s explanation, and Beahm then concluded, “that the Board can act, in my opinion, affirmatively on the application.”

Perhaps feeling that she now had the approval of the Board, Chun chose to forego letting her engineer testify, given that passage seemed imminent.

“Ms. Beahm did a perfect representation of everything that we’ve submitted,” said Chun. “I don’t think I want to belabor the point.”

No one from the public chose to comment or participate during the hearing, leading to Chun summarizing her case.

“I think I said before this project is being done in conjunction with the county. It’s going to ultimately benefit the taxpayers and the township. I think that this will be a beneficial use of the current site, and I hope the Board will act favorably.”

The Board then moved to vote, and the measure passed unanimously.

Kids:

Continued From Page 1 and math, and while those seem like subjects that many students learn to round out one’s essential “core” requirements in an educational curriculum, many individuals love to immerse themselves in such pursuits.

That’s especially true for youngsters enrolled in the S.T.E.M. program run by the Howell P.A.L., where older participants mentor and guide younger peers through a range of science-related activities and competitions that build self-confidence, teamwork, and personal pride as well as teach problem solving.

The program has been in place since 2019, when Chris Hill and Jamie Szyarto of the Howell P.A.L. approached Skye Donzelli, who has worked over 20 years as a teacher in the township’s school system. Donzelli has a Masters in educational technology and has taught computer science and media, so she seemed the natural choice to head up the S.T.E.M. program.

The idea of a team solving problems and working together towards common goals is what Donzelli stresses in the classes. As someone who has published a book on computer coding for children, she knows how to use her skills to impart that knowledge to eager young minds.

“This is younger kids working with older ones,” explained Donzelli about the peer-topeer collaboration, “which is a very important aspect of the program, because it [has] benefits for both the older students and the younger students. [With] the older kids, you could just see the pride that they feel. They’re sharing their

The Howell Times, August 6, 2022, Page 3 knowledge, and they get to be role models. I think we just all know that kids listen so much better and are so much more enthusiastic when the information is coming from a cool older kid. The younger kids gain so much knowledge just thinking, ‘that could be me when I grow up, I could be helping other people.’

They gain an example of maturity, as well.

Some kids don’t have an older peer to look up to, and this is a nice way to introduce that.”

There are three divisions in the S.T.E.M. program, involving a water unit, a team building unit, and a Lego unit.

It all begins with team building, which forms the basis for the foundation of the other events.

Through experience and the introduction of science-related exercises and tasks, the youngsters in the program learn to tackle problems cooperatively, which sets them up for not only success in the program, but through other life experiences. The program runs over the course of a year.

Of course, it has been well documented that boys and girls that participate in sports learn many of the valuable lessons that are carried through life such as teamwork, cooperation, division of labor and overcoming adversity in the face of failure. But for those uninterested in sports or whose interests tend more towards the cerebral pursuits, options such as the S.T.E.M. program offer an alternative path to learn those lessons.

“There’s a lot of tech kids out there, and we can change them from being a passive user to a creator of technology,” Donzelli said.

“Get them away from just being one-on-one with their computer and put them on a team.

Learning how to work together, learning how

to fail forward, learning to take risks. I think the number one thing that I teach is problem solving and not to give up when things are hard. That really is the heart of all the programs that I teach, because that’s one of the most valuable skills these kids can learn as they get older.”

Each of the aspects of S.T.E.M. relates to part of the overall program. As to the science portion of the experience, the participants will learn about the importance of water, and eco-friendly ways to preserve it. Technology centers around coding and learning how to program specific commands into robots.

Engineering is encapsulated in the Lego Robotics portion of the program, while the “M” in S.T.E.M. stands for mathematics, which Donzelli hinted, “is done in a fun way.” For example, the program recently held the “Toilet Paper Olympics,” wherein the participants learned to measure with the use of sheets of toilet paper instead of traditional standard units of measurement.

Introducing kids to computer programming works best the earlier they start, and by making it fun through presenting it as a different playtime activity, even kindergarteners can be taught. Proponents of introducing technology to kids early in their lives leads to children’s increased independence. As the world gets increasingly reliant on digital formats, kids will grow into young adults who will be better equipped to step into the workforce.

The Howell P.A.L. also runs the First Lego League Explore and Workshop that introduces younger (ages six to 10) kids to the world of Lego Robotics and coding in a cooperative environment. But, rather than there being a

competition at the end, the course concludes with a public exhibition of the knowledge learned over their time together.

Donzelli first runs a workshop for kids, where they get the skills necessary to participate in the more intensive First Lego League Challenge. The program has a limit of 15 participants, so the spots fill up quickly.

Slated to start again in September, the participants go through the program and learn the basic skills they need to move on to join competitions. They first compete locally, then regionally, statewide, and even nationally. The best of the best then move on to an international competition. The Lego League Challenger competition is open for participants between the ages of nine to 13.

The most recent challenge was sponsored by Amazon and featured the theme of transportation. This year’s upcoming challenge will be announced in August and will center around energy, specifically, environmentally friendly ways to save and use it.

For the uninitiated, Donzelli recently ran a summer camp called the “Gamemaker’s Challenge” where, during a one-week session, kids took their first steps and learned the tech skills they need to compete in the future.

In addition to returning in September, the S.T.E.M. program will include a winter program that will feature Robotic Legos under a video game theme for all ages. Just as with Little League, Pop Warner and intramural sports, the Howell P.A.L. is also looking for local businesses that may be willing to sponsor the S.T.E.M. teams. Interested individuals can reach out to the Howell P.A.L. at (732) 9192825 or info@howellpal.org.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Facebook, Twitter Urged To Fight Disinformation Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was joined by Senators Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) in calling on the CEOs of Meta, Twitter, and Telegram to substantially increase efforts to moderate content by Russian state media services

RT en Español and Sputnik Mundo – the cornerstone of the Kremlin’s Spanish language disinformation and propaganda system – as Putin’s illegal war against Ukraine rages on.

The senators’ call comes against the backdrop of persistent and growing efforts by Russia to target the Western Hemisphere through information operations, particularly through Spanish-language disinformation, with a goal to spread falsehoods about Putin’s actions in Ukraine, polarize societies, and ultimately undermine democratic governance in the region.

“As Putin’s regime takes increasingly draconian measures to prevent its own citizens from accessing the truth, by blocking social media and stamping out any remaining semblance of independent media in the country, Russian state media continues to exploit the platform provided by [Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Telegram] to amplify and export its lies abroad,” the senators wrote. “[D] isinformation campaigns by Russian state media’s Spanish-language outlets targeted at Latin American and Caribbean audiences regularly reach Spanish-speaking communities in the United States, directly harming our national interests.

We are deeply concerned by reports that

the operations and reach of such outlets have only increased amid Putin’s actions in Ukraine.”

The senators also called on the platforms to dedicate additional resources to ensure parity between efforts to identify and moderate the spread and amplification of all Spanish-language disinformation content about Russia’s vicious assault in Ukraine and efforts to mitigate the spread of such disinformation in English.

“In these extraordinary circumstances, we must remain vigilant about the ability of known purveyors of Russian disinformation to propagate falsehoods about Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, whether in Spanish or any other language,” the senators added.

Voting Reform Laws To Strengthen New Jersey Elections From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy reaffirmed his commitment to securing access to voting rights by signing a series of bills to strengthen New Jersey’s elections. They build on reforms to expand democracy enacted during the Murphy Administration, including automatic voter registration and in-person early voting.

“Across the nation, we continue to see one

of our nation’s core principles come under attack as states restrict access to the ballot,” said Governor Murphy. “I am proud to sign legislation that will make democracy more accessible, more transparent, and stronger in our state. New Jersey will continue to move forward as we ensure that the democratic process is secure and protected.”

“With this bill package, New Jersey continues to expand access to the ballot box and provide additional resources to our election officials, while strengthening the security of our elections,” Secretary of State Tahesha Way said. “The right to vote is the very

foundation of our democracy and we are committed to making voting as safe, simple, and transparent as possible.”

The Governor signed the following bills into law: A-1969/S-138 (Mukherji, Sumter, Egan/ Diegnan, Greenstein) - Allows minors to serve as election workers between 5:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on election days A-3817/S-2863 (Verrelli, Benson/Zwicker, Gopal) - Requires ballot privacy sleeves at polling place; makes various changes to early and mail-in voting procedures; creates online form to update name and residence on existing voter registration record A-3819/S-2868 (Mukherji, Dunn, Stanley/ Cryan, Gopal) - Specifies circumstances when voter will be removed from perma-

nent vote by mail status and when ballot will be sent to primary address; requires educational campaign; makes appropriation of $5 million A-3820/S-2869 (Karabinchak, Jaffer, Stanley/Cryan, Gopal) - Prohibits unaffiliated mail-in voters from receiving mail-in ballot for primary election; requires election officials to provide such voters certain notices; prohibits mail-in ballot envelopes from containing visible political affiliation or designation for certain elections A-3822/S-2865 (Coughlin, DiMaio, Stanley, Dunn, Danielsen/Zwicker, Cryan) - Changes certain mail-in ballot deadlines; permits opening and canvassing of mail-in ballots prior to election day; permits pickup (Government - See Page 5)

Racing:

Horseracing Wrongs founder and president Patrick Battuello said the group was there to “remind people that the pomp and pageantry of horseracing is a ruse. In truth, racing’s core is ugly and mean. It is confinement and isolation, buying and selling, needles and syringes, bits and whips.”

Battuello’s group is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to end horseracing in the U.S. “It is deadly,” he added. He noted that 141 horses have been killed at Monmouth Park since 2014 according to the New Jersey Racing Commission.

The most recent death was recorded on July 8, in the sixth race when 4-year-old Sip’n Dip fell, her body slamming into the metal railing multiple times.

Battuello said, “the typical horse lives 25-30 years; this poor animal was killed at four - for gambling and entertainment.”

Horseracing Wrongs has documented over 8,000 confirmed deaths since 2014; its research shows that well over 2,000 horses are killed at U.S. tracks annually suffering

Battuello added, “what’s more, two independent studies indicate that most spent or simply no-longer-wanted racehorses, including, eventually, many of the ones who were racing at Monmouth that weekend, are brutally bled-out and butchered at “career’s” end - some 10,000-15,000 erstwhile “athletes” slaughtered annually.”

“In short, the U.S. horseracing industry is engaged in wholesale carnage - not hyperbole, carnage,” Battuello says. “We live in 21st century America; has not the time at long last arrived for us to put this shameful cruelty and killing behind us?”

Battuello has appeared on CNN, ESPN, on a segment on HBO Real Sports, The New Yorker and the Philadelphia Inquirer. He said he was able to help sway the Editorial Board of the Inquirer to call for an end to horseracing, in April 2021.

Battuello previously worked with The Washington Post, which in addition to its board also calling for an end to horseracing, The newspaper offered him his own standalone op-ed.

Insurance Rates For School Employees Might Raise

NEW JERSEY – Proposed increases to health insurance rates for the School Employees Health Benefits Program (SEHBP) would have a significant, detrimental impact on the budgets of the state’s Community Colleges. If enacted, these increases, which may total more than $14 million per year for the colleges within our system, will undermine Community Colleges’ efforts to provide affordable and high-quality education to more than 200,000 students each year, including those who struggle to afford college.

This unexpected, proposed increase, thrust on the institutions serving the most at-risk population of students, will also have a crippling effect on Community Colleges’

ability to fulfill their mission of access and support for the most vulnerable college students. The proposed increase will also cause New Jersey’s Community Colleges to struggle to meet the critical workforce and other needs of employers which will cause further damage to the state’s economy.

The New Jersey Council of County Colleges and the state’s Community Colleges urge the Plan Design Committee for the SEHBP to release all information relating to this possible increase as soon as possible, and we further urge the Governor and the legislature to work together to find appropriate solutions that will minimize any possible increases.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE The Bell Improvement Project

$6,450

–Photo courtesy Monmouth County COLTS NECK – This auspicious day could very well be labeled The Bell Improvement Project of Colts Neck Fire Company #1 or Trony Clifton’s Eagle Scout Project and how he decided on this project.

Historic background: Colts Neck Township Fire Company #1 was organized in 1926. In 1927, the old blacksmith shop and barn were bought from the Culvers - which was to be the fire house for 26 years. A fire bell was donated in 1927 and installed outside of the fire house.

In 1953, a new fire house was built.

In reviewing the fire bell that was donated - it had not been properly maintained - however, the bell has historical value and should be cherished as a monument and a dedication to all fireman for their contribution in keeping Colts Neck safe and a reminder of the long history of the town.

Monmouth County Commissioner Lillian G. Burry, Colts Neck Historical Preservation Committee Chair, unveiled the historic plaque for Colts Neck Fire Company #1 to mark the restoration of the fire bell.

5 Weird Reasons For Hiccups And Potential Therapies

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

For most of you, hiccups happen for a few minutes and resolve on their own. Most of the time it happens because you’ve swallowed too much air while drinking or eating. Or maybe you’ve had a beer, or soda pop, or went from a warm house into the freezing cold! These are all causes for hiccups.

Either way, these short-term hiccups go away on their own. But what if they didn’t stop for days or weeks at a time? One man had hiccups for 20 years before he found resolution!

Having hiccups for a long time will cause malnourishment, dehydration, mental stress, chest pain, abdominal discomfort, and problems in your relationship. Not to mention you can’t speak properly anymore! If you have been experiencing hiccups for a while, I’m sure you’ve seen your doctor. If you have not, then that is number one on your to-do list.

The reason is that your physician cannot effectively treat you unless the cause is known.

Next, jot down all your medications. Don’t forget anything. For example, you may have had a lumbar injection for your sciatica or dental work. Include all the medications and treatments in the prior 7 days and share this with your physician.

A handful of medical causes for intractable hiccups traditionally teased out include diabetes, brain tumors, gastrointestinal reflux, spinal cord infections and chest trauma. But it’s the less frequent causes that I’m writing about today.

Here are 5 weird reasons for persistent hiccups: 1. Steroid use - Medications taken orally (or

by injection) that belong to the corticosteroid category can trigger long-lasting hiccups. Of the medication category, dexamethasone is the worst offender.

2. Thyroid Nodules or Goiters - You may not even realize you have a thyroid problem, because tests are not always conclusive. And with hiccups, doctors don’t automatically look at your thyroid, it is simply that unusual!

So I’m listing this because goiters, nodules and hyperthyroidism can lead to intractable hiccup episodes.

3. Pericarditis - This is inflammation of the heart tissue which can cause not only persistent hiccups, but many other symptoms like weakness, fatigue, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and leg swelling.

4. Shingles - At times, people have been known to have a prodromal warning of the onset of herpes zoster which causes shingles.

5. Medications - Many different prescribed and over-the-counter medications can lead to intractable hiccups. These include tranquilizers, medications for mental health, antihistamines, and some blood pressure pills.

As you probably already know, short-term hiccups can be received by holding your breath for a few seconds or drinking some water. But these tricks don’t work for intractable hiccups. Oftentimes, medication is needed and today we have several options that your doctor can prescribe. These include risperidone, gabapentin, phenytoin, and baclofen. I have a much more comprehensive article on this topic that includes more bizarre causes for hiccups. That is available at my website, suzycohen.com.

You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage.

In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits.

Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment.

Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s

authorization.

Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care.

If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Holmdel’s Kristen Palmer Becomes 8 Millionth Fan In BlueClaws History

JERSEY SHORE – Kristen Palmer of Holmdel became the 8 millionth fan in BlueClaws history when she came through the RWJBarnabas Health Third Base Gate at ShoreTown Ballpark on July 22 at 6:19 p.m.

The BlueClaws entered Friday having drawn 7,999,350 fans since their 2001 inception, 650 short of 8-million. The team opened only the RWJBarnabas Health Third Base Gate, and Palmer came through as Friday’s 650th fan and the team’s 8-millionth.

“Congratulations to Kristen on being the BlueClaws 8 millionth fan,” said BlueClaws Team President Joe Ricciutti.

“8 million fans obviously means a lot to the BlueClaws, but for us it’s most about the support from the community. The Jersey Shore community has embraced the BlueClaws since day one and for that we are certainly grateful.”

As the 8 millionth fan, Palmer receives a prize package including eight nights in a Luxury Suite in 2023, eight tickets to every remaining BlueClaws game this year, plus eight boardwalk game tickets to each game

this year. Additionally, the BlueClaws will match the tickets to 2022 games by way of a donation of to eight charities of her choice.

She also threw out a ceremonial first pitch at Friday’s game.

“We’re well on our way to 9 million,” said Ricciutti. “Tonight was our eighth sell-out crowd of the season and even after this weekend we still have four great homestands to come. It’s an exciting time to be a part of and a fan of the Jersey Shore BlueClaws.”

Rob Merten of Clark became the 7 millionth fan in team history on July 27, 2017.

The BlueClaws, the Shore’s Hometown Team, have 26 games remaining this year at ShoreTown Ballpark. August’s promotional schedule includes three Thirsty Thursdays, three fireworks nights, Star Wars Night (August 5th presented by NJR Home Services), a live performance from Splintered Sunlight (August 20 as part of the Bell’s Brewery Summer Concert Series), and much more.

The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment.

ShoreTown Ballpark brings the best of the

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of AUG 6 - AUG 12

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Opportunities are looming on the horizon. If you ignore them, you might not have another chance. Your tribe may prove their loyalty in the upcoming week. If or when things break, fix them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid problems in the week ahead by treating every person and task with extra mindfulness.

Someone may seem hard to please and/or your work may be scrutinized, so issues could be magnified.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An opportunity to better yourself may be just what is needed to achieve your goals. Friends might share powerful insights in the week to come that create a beneficial chain reaction. Make sure you note valuable ideas.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There may be times in in the week ahead when harmless flirtations could be misconstrued by others and lead to a misunderstanding. Money, possessions and values could be an important part of your motivations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Next week, you may dare the unusual rather than settle for the ordinary. Your energies and enthusiasms are probably firing on all cylinders so upgrade your reputation and make headway with creative projects and studies.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make promises cautiously and honor them scrupulously. You’ll need to follow through on your obligations and do your duty. Thinking outside the box can make you appear brilliant in the week ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be inspired or enlightened by someone’s reactions in the coming week. Grand ambitions are forming, so you may pivot at some point. For right now, you will be wise to be content with your present position.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might sacrifice personal pleasures to get ahead in the upcoming week. You can make the most progress if you remain firm about upholding the highest principles. Try to understand what might seem like criticism.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This is a week when having faith in your fellow man should work out to your advantage. You could receive favorable publicity for a creative project or meet someone who introduces you to a fascinating new hobby.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may realize that your social life is in the hands of others as the week unfolds. Bills and other financial obligations could cramp your style.

Take concrete steps and be diligent to reach your career goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be a trusted supporter of a loved one and a steadfast confidante to friends. A partner could receive extra recognition this week. Good things can come to those who wait so remain patient with difficult people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the week ahead, you may be motivated to do better at your job or become better acquainted with your coworkers. Someone’s engaging ideas can help you make more money or share in the rewards for good work.
