Over 1,000 residents attended the annual Labour Day Picnic, presented each year in Dougall Park by the Sunshine Coast Labour Council. Kids gave the bouncy castle a good workout, everyone enjoyed live music, burgers, hot dogs and corn on the cob courtesy of the Labour Council, and families had fun in the playground with Frisbees. Kids (and spectators) enjoyed the traditional pie-eating contests, with prizes for all. This winner in the six-year-old category exclaimed, “I can’t believe I did that!”

For 65 years the Royal Canadian Legion – Rob-erts Creek Branch 219, known as ‘the Little Le-gion,’ has been a hub of activity for Creek residents. With member-ship no longer restricted to veterans and/or their families, the gates are open to all to meet friends for a game of cards or darts, enjoy a live music event with friends and neighbours, or get out of the kitchen for a meal at ‘Diner 219er.’

Memberships are half-price at the Little Legion until December 31 (and entitle the holder to ad-mission as a member to any Legion in Canada).

Because Legions are licensed as ‘private clubs’ members and guests must sign in to enjoy the fa-cilities. But non-members are welcome to drop in – someone in the ‘friendly little Legion’ will sign them in as a guest.

Drop in and pick up tickets for the Buffet ‘n’ Boogie on Saturday, Sep-tember 14. A full buffet dinner starts at 7 p.m., dancing at 8 p.m. to the A.D. Band from Vancou-ver, the Luminaires and Jeff Heeley. Tickets ($40) must be purchased in advance at the Legion or online at robertscreekle-gion.ca. Admission at the door after 8 p.m. for dance only, $15.

Save the date! Dine ‘n’ Dance with Jim Tay-lor on Friday, October 11. Just try and stay off the dance floor as Taylor plays all the classics from the 50s, 60s and 70s.

Sechelt Mayor John Hen-derson recently announced the appointments of Kirk Exner and Dave Jephcott to the District’s business development entity, Sechelt Innovations Limited (SIL). “Sechelt is very fortunate to have recruited Kirk and Dave,” said Mayor Hen-derson. “Both are entre-preneurs and have a wide range of experience and ex-pertise that will ensure that SIL’s mandate of creating new jobs and businesses is achieved.”

As Director of Business Development, Kirk Exner will direct and oversee SIL’s operations, reporting to the soon-to-be appointed Board of Directors. Man-

Exner and Jepcott appointed to Sechelt Innovations

ager of Business Develop-ment Dave Jephcott will work with Exner to help drive the SIL mandate.

With over twenty years experience in developing new businesses as well as arranging financing, Exner brings strong technology and venture capital expe-rience to his new role. He

moved to Sechelt in 2007 and is the former presi-dent of the Sandy Hook Community Association (SHCA). Exner currently serves as a board member of the SHCA and also the Sechelt Groves Society.

Jephcott first moved to the Coast in 2002 and has operated a sales and business growth market-ing firm for the past ten years. He has worked on promotional campaigns for various successful Sunshine Coast-based companies, and served as the Business Development Manager of Initiatives Prince George, that community’s area busi-ness expansion and reten-tion arm.

Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) recently com-pleted a field expedition to a forest in the Dakota Bowl area mapped out for clear-cut logging by BC Timber Sales (BCTS) under TFL A79517, which includes six separate cutblocks totalling 69Ha (170 acres). “The way BCTS has laid out these blocks raises several red flags,” Ross Muirhead of ELF says. “The logging road to reach this area cuts across steep slopes which will cause untold drainage and stabil-ity issues. Some of the falling boundaries were found on

sheer slopes.” The group also recorded BC’s third-largest Mountain Hemlock within the cutblock, measuring 5.36 metres (17 feet, 7 inch-es) in circumference.

“This is truly a magnifi-cent forest.” Hans Penner of ELF remarks. The forest contains some of the largest red and yellow cedars left on the Sunshine Coast. As the older trees decay from the inside out, they provide opti-mal bear den sites, especially for females who climb up in-side hollowed trees to secure protection for cubs. “We ob-served many bear den sites in

the hollows of the old cedars, thick blueberry undergrowth and bear scat everywhere,” said Muirhead. “Logging these old trees will destroy one of the best bear habi-tats I’ve seen on the Coast. BCTS needs to bring in a bear specialist from Ministry of Environment to study this area before any decisions are made to log it.”

Penner added that in one small area, the ELF expedi-tion discovered evidence of six to eight bear den sites scat indicating this is prime black bear habitat. Submitted

If you listened closely in the last days of August you could almost hear the col-lective groans of children and relieved sighs of par-ents everywhere. As schools open for the new academic year, we’d like to offer stu-dents some perspective on how the rules have changed over the years.

Here are some of the rules set out for pupils of the Sechelt United School in 1921. We found these gems in a book from our archives entitled Manners and Con-duct In School and Out. We have some examples from this book on display in our school exhibit on the second floor of the muse-um, but here are a few more to ruminate on.

First, where NOT to socialize: “If you are well brought up, girls, you will not loiter on the street to talk to one another; much less to boys. Street visiting is taboo.” It’s strange but

Back in TimeKimikoHawkes Manager / Curator Sunshine Coast Museum & Archcives

Back to school, back in time

there’s no advice on where ‘well brought up’ boys shouldn’t go or who they shouldn’t talk to.

Second, a suggestion that many teachers to this day would strongly advise but hopefully without the de-rogatory judgment: “The chewing of gum in a street-car, in church, or in any oth-er place outside of your own private room stamps you at once as ‘common’.” Yikes!

Thirdly, as school danc-es seem to be becoming more and more frequent with younger and younger grades, students would do well to remember, “bob-bing and wriggling are ta-boo” and to “let the spring

come from the ankles and the knees… imitate the grace of the swallow.” Now that I would love to see! An-other still relevant piece of advice on dances: “If your partner doesn’t dance well, take it pleasantly – but not as too much of a joke – and help him to do better.” You wouldn’t want to hurt any-one’s feelings.

Nowadays, much of this advice seems old fashioned and out of date. But if we take the kernel of the idea and apply it to our modern context, it is essentially the same – be safe, be polite and be kind. And imitat-ing the grace of the swallow wouldn’t hurt either.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions

“Are you taking them away?”

“Yes, I am taking them away” responds the Con-servation Officer; the look on his face said it all; the exhaustion of covering an area as large as the Sunshine Coast, making decisions for public safety, and realizing that he has to shoot bears, again. It’s not pretty, and it is certainly not a part of their job that they enjoy carrying out.

The bright blue culvert trap contains a sow and her yearling cub; they have become habituated to hu-mans, lost their natural wariness, and are comfort-able entering residences for food (in this case, apples in a kitchen). Bears like to roam through areas they perceive to be ‘safe’ local neighbourhoods, entering carports to steal backpacks, rummage through outdoor garbage bins, following the scent to backyard chicken coops and birdfeeders, and accessing unpicked fruit in yards. Our garbage is still the number one killer of bears in British Columbia.

Bears have a keen sense of smell (2100 times better than ours) and extraordi-nary memory capabilities. Sadly, it only takes just ONE taste of our garbage, a non-natural food attractant, and the bear is addicted. A death sentence is imminent.

I am always asked, “Why don’t they re-locate the bear?” Re-location and

translocation are extreme-ly hard on a bear; it has been shown that most re-located bears either starve or become prey when they are placed in a new, un-known territory.

We can change our be-havior – the bears cannot. As bears enter the hyperpha-gia stage, they are being bio-logically driven to consume 10,000 to 20,000 calories per day; some will forage for up to 20 hours in a day. We must remain vigilant with our attractants: pick rip-ened and fallen fruit, keep birdfeeders and pet food in-side, aerate compost, clean BBQ’s, store refuse in a se-cure container (inside), erect a properly installed and maintained electric fence to protect chickens or crops.

Whistler has destroyed two bears this year (one B&E, one Wildlife Colli-sion); the Sunshine Coast destroyed 10 bears during the period from May 16 to August 13.

We have chosen to live in an area that directly inter-faces with prime habitat for wildlife. It is our responsi-bility to safely co-exist and to help keep wildlife, wild. I have a lot of faith in local residents; I think we can manage that.

Fine to give Translink a brake

I recently read a news item informing us, the downtrodden taxpayer, that we possibly could face the imposition of yet another tax. This has to do with Translink’s plans for expan-sion After much thought, I came up with an idea that might raise the funds need-ed for expansion without hitting the taxpayer in the purse/wallet. I wish to sug-gest that law enforcement devote about six months to nabbing drivers who ignore STOP signs, all over the province, but particularly on the Sunshine Coast. A hefty fine would be in or-der for a first offence and doubled for a second of-fence. Anything beyond that might include licence suspension. All fines would be forwarded to Translink. Those drivers on the Coast who obey STOP signs with a FULL stop, know that the majority of drivers to-day completely ignore the word STOP.

If my plan were to be ad-opted, I visualize Translink will have a huge cash sur-plus to fulfill their expan-sion plans and also a bit left over to provide bonuses for their hard working staff. I rest my case. Don Hensler, Gibsons

Vaccination challengeThe vaccination article

in the Aug 29 issue of The

Local indicates that vac-cines are safe and effec-tive. It mentions recent outbreaks of measles but doesn’t reveal how many of the infected had been vaccinated. Immunolo-gist Tetyana Obukhanych has analysed the infection rates during a large 2011 Quebec measles epidemic in which many of the cases had been vaccinated. She’s found that, although vac-cination appeared to be effective to some degree, it wasn’t effective enough to provide herd immunity.

Not just parents, but many doctors and scientists have become disenchanted with immunization ideol-ogy. In 2004, a British pae-diatrician who didn’t dare identify himself, told me-dia that he offered both the single measles vaccine and MMR, a practice counter to the dictum of public health authorities. Gastroenter-ologist Andrew Wakefield’s suggestion that it would be prudent to give measles, mumps and rubella vac-cines separately and spaced several months apart result-ed in his banishment from practice. But since his 1998 study (since withdrawn), others have corroborated his findings of a possible link between autism, bowel disease and MMR. In 2009, Dr Healy, former head of the US National Institutes of Health, told CBS News, “I don’t think you should ever turn your back on any scientific hypothesis”. She exemplified with lack of tracking to find how many cases of autism resulted from the 1,300-plus brain injury cases paid compensa-tion in vaccine court.

Not only is natural im-munity much more reli-able and permanent than vaccine-derived immunity, but it can provide other benefits, too. A 2002 study of West African children found that those who’d sur-vived measles had a much higher survival rate from all other infections than those who’d been vaccinated. Research could be done in well-fed North American populations to look for a similar effect and with little risk of death. Why hasn’t it been done?Susan Fletcher, Sechelt

Gas prices downright indigestible

In mid-August, a CTV report announced that Lower Mainland drivers face the highest gas prices in North Ameri-ca, according to a study by GasBuddy.com. To which we on the Sunshine Coast said, “surprise, surprise.”

With costs equaling and occasionally surpassing Vancou-ver’s price at the pumps, Coasters can be forgiven for feeling a tad gouged. After all, the Metro Vancouver communities that topped the list of 10 most expensive places to fill up in North America (Delta, Surrey, Pitt Meadows and Vancouver) are paying about 16 cents per litre more in special assessed-in-Metro-only taxes. And overhead costs in Vancouver surely are higher than on the Sunshine Coast.

For everyone in BC, about 49 cents of each litre’s cost is straight tax: for Translink, for the provincial gas tax, for PST and GST. Gas company reps explain that on top of these charges, Coast residents have to factor in the cost to barge the fuel up from the Port Moody refineries.

Sure.But in Victoria, the price at the pump is as much as ten

cents per litre less than Coasters are accustomed to. And pre-sumably their gas is also barged over from Port Moody.

So that won’t wash.Gas company reps also maintain that the price of gas is tied

to the per-barrel price of crude oil.That won’t wash either.Recently, the price of oil plummeted, but the price at the

pump stayed within two or three cents per litre and actually rose at one point. If the price of crude mattered, in Canada – a nation, we are reliably informed, which produces a whole lot of oil and gas – motorists should be able to tank up at reduced rates because the sale of excess production would subsidize our own consumption. This isn’t happening.

Over the past years, gas prices have gradually risen towards the benchmark rate of $1.50 per litre, and because it’s been so gradual there has been virtually no protest from the nation’s motorists.

Whining to the gas station attendant is not effective protest. Instead, residents need to stand up and say to their elected representatives, “I’m being gouged, and I won’t take it any more.”

And if that doesn’t work, there’s always the bus. After all, our gas taxes are paying for it. Heather Jeal, Editor

OOPS!Re: Wharf restoration appeal ramps up, The Local, August 29

John Denham, a Draughtsman with Mobius Architecture, created the drawings of the proposed Davis Bay wharf recon-struction during his free time as a donation to the project. Mr. Denham was incorrectly identified as an architect in the story. The Local apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.Re: A great big thank you, The Local, August 29

In her column, ‘A Caring Community,” Sunshine Coast Community Services Society Co-Executive Director Lucie McKiernan thanked the “Semiahmoo graduation class” for a donation of $15,000. This should have read “Elphinstone graduation class.” Kudos to the kids!

Improving curb appeal involves dressing your home to make a strong first impression on visitors and (when a preparing a home for re-sale) on prospec-tive buyers. A home with a well-maintained exterior hints at an equally impres-sive interior.

A few simple renovations can make a home more wel-coming while bumping up its market appeal.

Begin by removing clut-ter – broken planters, rust-ing lawn furniture, and dis-carded toys.

Fall garden clean-up and winterizing includes hedge trimming, pruning roses, weeding, planting spring bulbs and putting down a fresh layer of organic mulch to protect and nourish shrub and perennial roots during the colder months.

Consider adding some fall or winter colour with fresh plantings. Local nurs-eries will be please to advise on best shrubs for Coastal climate and soil conditions.

Provide driveway and side-

Small outlays reap big returns with curb appeal

Adding a fresh layer of mulch to edged flowerbeds deters weed growth and adds definition to plant-ings, for a tidier and more colourful presentation.

First impressions count. A visitor’s first glimpse of a home gives a lasting impression and a hint on how well it has been cared for, inside and out.

walk definition with edging. Paving stone or brick edging, either level or slightly elevat-ed, can protect both lawn and driveway from erosion and offer an elegant frame for the garden area as well.

Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that low hanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view or blocking light from the home’s interior. Let the light in, and let the home be seen! Book the services of an arborist or knowledgeable tree pruner/removal spe-cialist in the fall for winter pruning.

Regularly throughout the fall and winter, ensure gut-ters are cleared of leaves, sticks and other debris. For homes surrounded by trees, consider replacing open gutters with guarded types to reduce clogs and poten-tial roof damage.

Even if the front door is not generally used, make it appealing with the addi-tion of modern upgraded hardware, hinges that move freely and squeak-free, a fresh door mat, and possibly an accent planter filled with seasonal colour.

As the holiday season ap-proaches, a well-groomed entry will provide a welcom-ing focal point to the home with improved curb appeal.

Questing for the best north of SecheltDiscover how the chefs from Halfmoon Bay to Egmont prepare the humble – and

not-so-humble – burger, often served up with an excellent view on the side.HeatHer JealEditor

travelled straight from freez-er to microwave to grill.

The Coast’s best chefs know that cooking a truly excellent burger requires at-tention to detail. Toppings and condiments add texture and enhancement to the meat, rather than masking a poorly cooked patty or poor quality ingredients.

In Egmont, the team at the Backeddy serve the Coast’s biggest burger on buns specially baked by the Green Rosette (find them at the entrance to the Skoo-kumchuck Narrows trail). Next door, rivals at West Coast Wilderness Lodge de-clare that not only do they have the best view of any

contender, they also have the best burger – “no con-test.” It’s worth the drive to check out this rivalry.

In Garden Bay, tiny La-verne’s Grill serves up burg-ers in a diner setting while around the corner at the Garden Bay Pub, the team dishes out a variety of burg-ers as diners overlook the adjacent marina and, on Sunday afternoons, enjoy live music ‘jams’.

At Madeira Park, the Restaurant at Painted Boat Resort’s Chef Michael Riley added a burger to the menu, tempting the masses to this beautiful spot.

Halfmoon Bay’s Rock-water Resort restaurant

just added a burger to their lunch menu. Is this the Coast’s best burger – and the best view?

This is the first week of our Quest for the Best, and we expect to have more restaurants get-ting into the spirit of the competition, joining the fun and getting creative. Residents are invited to vote for their favourites, and to discover new taste sensations at restaurants a bit further afield.

Vote online at www.the-localweekly.ca or get a bal-lot at your restaurant (look for the Quest for the Best poster in participating res-taurants.)

Public art tours offered in SecheltArt lovers are invited to

participate in free Public Art Tours in Sechelt. The guided tours focus on seg-ments of the District of Sechelt’s Public Art Collec-tion as well as a few other artworks located in and around the community. Led by Arts Coordinator Siobhan Smith, the tours will give residents and visitors the opportunity to view both new and his-toric works and learn more about the artists who cre-ated them. Whenever pos-sible, the artists will join the tour to answer ques-tions about their work.

The District of Sechelt has been collecting works of art since the 1970s. Two newer acquisitions are now on public display: Gord Halloran’s Hung Jury can be viewed in the municipal offices reception area, and Todd Clark’s stunning oil painting Paradise Found is displayed inside the Sechelt Public Library.

Thursday, September 12 at 11 a.m., join the Outdoor Public Art Tour to view work in the Spirit Square Sculpture Garden, as well as a shíshálh totem pole, the new murals at the Sechelt Skateboard Park, and master carver Dudley Carter’s Sanctuary.

Wednesday, September 26 at 1 p.m. tour the In-door Art Collection at the District of Sechelt munici-pal offices, including works by eight local artists.

Tours are free, but lim-ited to 10 people per tour. To reserve, please contact Siobhan Smith at 604-989-0804 or email [email protected].

the recently-completed graffitti-style murals at Sechelt Skateboard Park incorporate a variety of style and subjects. Check them out with the out-door Public Art tour Sep. 12. StAFF PHoto

They start out small – just one or two plants in a cor-ner of the garden – and fin-ish in a tangle of vines and watermelon-sized gourds. The ubiquitous zucchini gets away from us again.

Usually, zucchini are picked when they are six to eight inches long. The mammoth versions (that used to have a way of show-ing up anonymously on doorsteps) are just as tasty as their younger brothers and are well suited to slic-ing in half lengthwise, seed-ing and stuffing with – for example – a meatloaf blend of ground beef, onion, and mushrooms. For a vegetar-ian entrée, slice the zuc-chini, brush with olive oil, and grill on the barbecue. Sprinkle each slice with a pinch of Italian seasoning to add pizzazz.

Zucchini is an excellent addition to a number of dishes, adding bulk and enrichment to support the more complex flavours of other ingredients. With only 17 calories per 100g, zucchini – particularly the yellow variety – is an excel-lent source of fibre, folates, potassium, vitamins C and A, and various anti-oxi-dents.

Grate it, peel and all, into a Bolognese spaghetti sauce or a cake batter, to add bulk, moisture and enrich-ment without noticeably altering the end flavour.

Zucchini cooks quickly, making it a great ingredi-ent in a quick one-pot sup-per like Pasta with Sausage, Feta and Zucchini - or as a side dish sautéed in olive oil with garlic and thyme.

The Negroni is a de-ceptively simple, elegant 1950s-era Italian pre-din-ner cocktail. In that era of glamour and style, Italy – with its deep sense of fashion and design – wel-comed the American cock-tail tradition and carried it to the next level. The ritual of preparation, the service

in uniquely shaped glasses, and the attention to quality ingredients became part of the Negroni’s heritage.

In a medium tumbler or Old Fashioned glass filled with ice, stir in equal parts of Vermouth rosso, Campari bitters, and dry gin. Garnish with a half-slice of orange and twist of lemon zest.

CoCkTail of The Week:

Zucchini madness strikes in September

Add pasta to a pot of boiling, salted water; stir and cook about six minutes or until it has a bit of ‘bite’ (not too soft). Drain, saving a few tablespoons of the pasta water for the sauce. While the pasta is cooking, slice sausage and sauté in large frying pan over medium-high heat for five minutes, stirring and turn-ing to brown evenly. Drain on paper towels. Add olive oil to frying pan, stir in garlic cloves and chili flakes. Reduce heat to low and stir until garlic is trans-

lucent. Do not let it brown or it will be bitter. Add the zucchini and stir-fry for two to three minutes. Stir in the sausage and pasta water, feta, lemon juice and zest, and the Parmesan cheese. Place in serving bowl, garnish with more Parmesan and chopped fresh oregano, and serve with a salad of fresh tomatoes tossed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and basil. To give this dish a Greek accent, substitute lamb sausage for the Italian-style version.

Pasta with Sausage, Feta and Zucchini Serves 4

You can hear her voice and look around but will not recognize her. Our well known local Colleen Husby Procknow has proven that it can be done.

“I was suffering from back pain and sore knees and was concerned that I was not going to be able to carry on doing my job if I didn’t do some-thing about my weight.” Colleen attended a free weight loss lecture at IDEAL WEIGHT LOSS SECHELT. With-out hesitation she joined the first group of clients to embark on what has proven to be a life alter-ing endeavour. What made her decide to do it now after all these years?

“People wonder if it was because I had recent-ly lost my brother and I can say that this did not play a factor but I sure wish he could see me today,” she said. It came down to timing. She was in the right place at the right time and has not looked back.

The 5th annual Brat mountain bike event, scheduled for Sunday, Sep-tember 22 offers a ride for all abilities along on the popular Brat Trail in West Sechelt, winding through some of the best single-track anywhere. The after party includes a pasta buffet at the Old Boot Eatery, a great way to finish a mountain bike ride!

The Brat celebrates moun-tain biking on the Sunshine Coast: the diversity of the cycling community; the vol-unteers who build trails be-cause they love to ride; and the passionate riders who

live to pedal a bike. The event also raises

money for our local heroes and heroines: The men and women of Sunshine Coast Search and Rescue.

And while mountain bike events all over Canada are winding down the season, the Brat Ride symbolizes all that is yet to come. Wel-come to fall mountain bik-ing on the Sunshine Coast: It’s going to be a great ride!

Tuesday morning’s rain squall reminded drivers that we are about to return to dark and challenging driving conditions. After months of extended day-light and bright sunshine, September’s shorter, darker days might catch motorists unprepared.

Now is the time to check all lights to ensure they are functioning well. Check that headlights, taillights

Drivers lighten up during fall’s dark days

Don’t be a ‘one-eyed monster’ on winter roads.

and signal lights are all in good working order now, and regularly throughout the winter months – don’t be a ‘one-eyed monster’ driving down the dark Coast roads.

During the year, head-lights can shift out of align-ment. Readjusting them can make a surprising difference for nighttime driving.

Reverse lights illuminate the scene when backing

up, but more importantly they warn pedestrians and other drivers that a ve-hicle is about to reverse. These lights should also be checked regularly.

Many Coast drivers have installed overly-bright lights, such as ‘fog lamps’ to help cope with night driving. Unfortunately, on a darkened highway these can blind oncom-ing drivers as effectively

as ‘high-beams’ (and can-not be quickly adjusted while driving.) These lights should be used for off-roading, or in fog – but not when driving the Sun-shine Coast Highway.

Replacing and adjusting lights now should be part of a motorist’s fall safety routine. A car care profes-sional can offer this service quickly and competently.Editor

Food Drive 1135 - 1 col x 6”

It’s time again for the Thanksgiving Food Drive to help fill the shelves of the food banks on the Sunshine Coast. This is a timely gathering for the fall season and especially for Thanksgiving and after. Please help if you can.This is how it works: Bags are left on your house front door handle with a Thanksgiving Food Drive label between Sept. 14 and Sept 19. On Sat. 21 some-one will come around to collect the donations and deliver them to the Food Bank. All you have to do is put your dona-tion in the bag and leave it out on Satur-day morning before or at 9:00am. If you miss us, you can call the contact number.We also need volunteers to help dis-tribute the bags and pick them up. This Food Drive really works. It’s easy and not intrusive. Every person makes a differ-ence, come with your group, or come as individuals! Last year 11 volunteers gath-ered 4500 pounds of food for the food banks. Groups that might like to help are: Walking groups, church groups, and charitable organizations, teams, and all others. Every person makes a difference, We will provide the bags, labels, phone numbers, contacts and other logistics such as coordinating streets to avoid overlap and so forth.My husband and I are the Coast Food Drive coordinators and if you want to help, please call 604-885-8894 and leave a message. We will also be at the Seniors’ Center in Sechelt from 7-9pm Wednes-day Sept. 11, if you would like to get started directly. The food is given to the closest of the 4 food banks on the Coast.Maureen Matkin, Sunshine Coast coordinator

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Your focus has turned to

making improvements; your aim is to create more beauty and harmony. Producing re-finements in your home and family and in your relation-ship interactions is your goal. The overall tone is passionate and revolutionary.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

An extra creative cycle con-tinues. You are intent upon outright renovation, and consequently your overall momentum is extra dynamic and busy. Your creative juices are flowing so amply that you feel inspired to attend to a va-riety of fronts. For the sake of key relationship involvements and the future, commitment and endurance are key words.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

The energy flow is large now. Whether that is a good thing depends on your situa-tion. Despite deeper themes linked to the need to be more disciplined, perhaps es-pecially towards your health and lifestyle in general, your energy levels stand to be high or exasperating. This New Moon will activate desires to make measurable improve-ments close to home.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)An extra busy period is un-

derway and will continue. A full spectrum of errands and social activities fills your cal-endar. Meanwhile, thoughts about long-term investments are on your mind. The reali-ties of revolutionary changes

are clearly evident to you. Scan the details and aim for a much wider scope.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Some very real and mea-

surable pioneering initiatives have begun for you. Now the focus is upon all the practical details it implies. This trend will continue. Fortunately, your focus and determina-tion are strong now. You have gained a glimpse of new visions and possibilities and you want to realize them.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)The New Moon in your

sign signifies new beginnings in the germination process but you can expect to see real signs of growth by equinox. While outer efforts are re-quired, the emphasis points to inner work and/or extra activity behind the scenes. Clarify your priorities and manage your time well.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)This time of year is a call

inward for you. Ideally you are taking heed of it. Howev-er, the pull to engage in outer social activity is extra strong this time as well. Dynamic and even dramatic interac-tions are calling. Balancing these conflicting forces is ever ideal and important. Aim for grace and poise be-tween these two extremes.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Although a particularly hot period continues, it is begin-ning to cool off somewhat. Circumstances are pushing you to assert yourself inde-pendently. Innovation and subtlety are challenges. Train-ing and skill development is likely and ideal yet your will to do the work may be wa-vering. Incite inspiration to persevere.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)Some new activation is oc-

curring in your public and/or professional life. A mix of desires for social stimulation and call to adventure bal-anced by practical concerns and considerations are likely. You may need to bring more order to your affairs and your living and work space. If you could balance social activity with cleaning and organizing you would have it all.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

You want information, insights and answers. Bal-ancing the facts with what constitutes truth for you presents an intellectual ad-venture. Finding the right tool or person for various projects remains important as well. Your passions are peaking noticeably.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

A mix of endings and be-ginnings are keeping you busy. These include dynamic and lively interactions with significant others. Desire for more play and cultural activ-ity is in the mix. The overall complexity in the flow may be causing your confidence levels to waver. Yet, you feel the need to pitch for higher and more stable ground. Onward you must go.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)A whole new quality of

association is occurring in your relationships. This is requiring that you make extra efforts and dig much deeper than usual. Gaining the cooperation of others requires flexibility, patience and resour cefulness. Some may feel suspicious of your motives. The key is to give more than usual and thereby demonstrate your sincerity.
