NEWBURYPORT — Market Basket was selling three diff erent kind of reusable bags to customers last week, ranging in price from 99 cents to $6.99. Shaw's sold insulated canvas bags for $6.99 and thin, reusable ones for $1. Ma r s h a l l ' s had the best deal, selling a small reusable tote for 79 cents.

Each bag is designed not just to take home groceries or a new pair of shoes, it is also a walking advertisement for the store.

In about nine months, the day will arrive here that customers have to bring their own bags or accept paper bags to carry home their wares. Gone will be the “thin-fi lm plastic bag with integral handles” that has been a staple for decades and spawned the phrase from every store bagger or check-out person, “paper or plastic.”

Th e City Council, on a vote of six to fi ve, last week approved the “Th in-fi lm Plastic Bags Ordinance,” which prohibits retail stores from handing out non-biodegradable plastic that is 3 mils or 3/1000th of an inch thick or less.

What stores can hand out are biodegradable bags, which contain no polymers derived from fossil fuels and will decompose at the same rate that paper, leaves and food waste degrade.

Penalties are non-criminal fi nes. After a warning for the fi rst off ense, a retail store that continues to use plastic bags will be fi ned $100 for a second violation, $200 for a third and $300 for a fourth and subsequent

violations.T h e

expected to sign it. Stores will then have nine months to comply. Th e city staff has three months to develop the regulations governing plastic bags. Following that, there is a six-month period, when the ordinance is suspended. “During such period of suspension, the city shall direct an eff ort to educate retail establishments about this Article,” the measure states.

Exempt by defi nition are thin plastic bags that grocery stores use for fruits, vegetables and meats. Th ese bags do not have handles.

Bills have been introduced on Beacon Hill to ban the plastic bags statewide. Nantucket has had a plastic bag ban in eff ect since 1990. Manchester by the Sea banned markets and other stores from distributing single-use plastic bags beginning last summer. Brookline followed late

Newburyport's First Food Truck Serves Gourmet

NEWBURYPORT – Karen Varga of Georgetown and Nancy Broughton of Andover were in the middle of taking a 30-mile bicycle ride last week when they came upon Metzy's Taqueria on the side of the Plum Island Turnpike.

“Seeing 20 people around a taco truck was compelling for us to stop,” Varga said.

“We don't have food trucks like this in Andover. We have a cupcake truck,” Broughton said. “Food trucks are fun.”

Since Erik Metzdorf opened the city's fi rst food truck in May, a lot of people have been compelled to stop and buy food through the truck's windows. Th ey dine open air, listening to Mexican music, sitting on old logs or at three mis-matched tables under a tent, an umbrella or a Tiki hut.

and burritos to 75 to 100 people a day. It rents the site from the airport. And it pays the city's meals taxes.

A businessman fi rst, a foodie second, Metzdorf, who lives on Plum Island, is already planning future expansion. He is looking at several locations to open a stationery restaurant, which would give his staff a place to work in the winter and a

commissary to support this truck and probably another one.

Th e idea for the food truck came to Metzdorf last November. In what he describes as a major “career change” from his previous import business, he bought the truck in January and applied to the city for a permit, only to fi nd the city had no law regulating food trucks. He hired a lawyer and started working with the city departments and council to create a law.

Th at is when he became friends with James Shanley, former president of the city council and former chairman of the Newburyport Redevelopment Authority. Shanley, now happily out of city government, helped guide Metzdorf through local politics. In April, the council adopted a law that was similar to Boston's ordinance regulating food trucks.

To conclude its observance of National Ovarian Cancer Month, Greater Newburyport Ovarian Cancer Awareness (GNOCA) will hold its fi nal event for 2014 on Sunday, September 28. Th e capstone event is entitled the “GNOCA 5K Run/Walk in Honor of Jackie Poor and Paula Holm.”

In prior years, the event had consisted of just a 3-mile walk, but with the gracious assistance of Joppa Flats Running Club, this time the fundraiser has been expanded to include a timed, competitive 5K run with prizes. Also actively participating and assisting are members of the Winner’s Circle Running Club.

Although she did not live in Newburyport, Jackie Poor had family here and frequently enjoyed visiting the seaport. She worked, raised a family, loved animals and maintained a very positive attitude in facing the challenges of ovarian cancer. Her sister, Elaine Carroll, of Newburyport, is a founding member of GNOCA.

Paula Holm was a beloved educator, a mother of two children and an avid runner. She ran16 marathons (13 of them Boston Marathons), served on the Board of Directors for the Winner’s Circle Running Club, directed a successful road race for many years, and always encouraged others in their pursuit of the sport. Her husband Bruce Vogel has generously made his Newburyport coff ee shop, Plum Island Coff ee Roasters, available to GNOCA for their regular meetings and several other events over the years.

Th e run/walk begins and concludes at Michael’s Harborside; it follows a scenic course through downtown Newburyport. As in previous years, Michaels’s is providing light refreshments for the participants at the fi nish line.

GNOCA works in partnership with Ovations for the Cure (ovationsforthecure.org), a Massachusetts nonprofi t organization, in their promotion of knowledge of the disease, concrete hope and support for those already diagnosed and signifi cant scientifi c advancements leading to the cure. GNOCA also makes a point of reaching out to women with ovarian cancer in the Greater Newburyport area, off ering them assistance in a variety of practical ways.

Each year, 21,000 women in America are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Awareness of the subtle symptoms of the disease and early detection are of vital importance in the quest for survival. In fact, with increased awareness of the earliest symptoms of ovarian cancer, a 93 percent fi ve-year survival rate can be achieved.

Th e GNOCA 5K Run/Walk commences at 10:30 a.m. Th ose wishing to run or walk may preregister online (www.ocawareness.org) by Friday, September 26 at noon. Registration on race day itself begins at 8:30 a.m. Preregistration is $25, and registration is $30.

Town of Rowley - Open Letter, September 12, 2014

Dear Selectmen, 375 Committee Members and fellow Rowley friends and neighbors:

Many Rowley citizens are dismayed by the egregious decision to take the 375 year town picture 15 minutes early before it's scheduled time of 2pm on September 6, 2014. Th is historic opportunity will be forever marred, and scorned if not remedied and made right.

When the Chief of Police warned of dangerous storms the correct decision would have been to postpone the scheduled event to a later time or date. If not a violation of Massachusetts open meeting law (Sect. 20(b), at least this begs for an amendment to the Rowley bylaws at a future town meeting. Scheduled public events and meetings should be run on schedule or postponed then rescheduled with posted public notice for both legal reasons as well as basic decorum.

Additionally, the extreme humidity and heat should have been enough to postpone the event even before Chief Barker weighed in with the storm warning. Th e Common, with no shade and temperatures well into the 80's was a hot and inhospitable place for a my 4 year old to spend two hours waiting for the town photo. We retreated to the library and when we re-entered the common at a 1:48pm, learned that we had missed the town photo. An 88 year old woman with the walker entered the common at 1:50pm only to be heart-broken to learn she had missed out. She had been in every big picture her whole life!

Th e 375 celebrations have been a wonderful town building success event to event. It is deeply disappointing to have the celebration end on such a sour note.

Th e disenfranchised of Rowley request an apology from the Selectmen and the event rescheduled. If the reported photo turnout was a mere 500 perhaps we (the town) can do better?

A petition is being drafted to further express that this mistake needs correction.

Sincerely,Phil Towne, Rowley for a Redo, 22 Bennett Hill Rd., Rowley MA 01969

Newburyport's First Food Truck Serves Gourmetordinance, Metzdorf worked on other issues. Top of the list was hiring a chef. “I'm a great cook for my friends and family. But I am not classically trained,” he said.

For his fi rst hire, he “wooed” Brad DeLibero, a classically trained chef from Johnson and Wales University. DeLibero has been the chef at Mad Martha’s Island Cafe and the Beachcoma on Plum Island and at Off the Vine in Rowley.

Next Metzdorf did traffi c counts to fi gure out where to locate the truck. Th ey asked people on the street whether they wanted barbecue, pizza or Mexican food.

“Th is is what people wanted,” he said.

Together they started working on the menu. “Brad knocked it out of the park,” he said.

Th ey developed a menu of four tacos and four burritos, plus sides and desserts. Th e best seller, about 1,500 a month, is the fried fi sh or shrimp taco with avocado, lime sauce, pico de gallo, shredded cabbage and chipotle sour cream. In second place is the chicken or pork tacos (1,200 a month) with sweet-caramelized onions, fresh mango-habanero salsa, lettuce, chipotle sour cream and jack cheese. Th e steak taco (1,000 a month) has fresh salsa, crispy onion, shaved lettuce, jack cheese and chipotle sour cream. For vegetarians Metzy's off ers a black bean and sweet potato taco.

Th e ingredients are much the same in the burritos, which are

served in a tortilla or lettuce bowl. Coming soon, Metzdorf promises, are lobster tacos, purchased through Bob's Lobster across the highway.

When Metzdorf started emailing friends asking for recommendations for other staff members, the fi rst person to apply was Shanley, who was making his own career change. Th e owner of a greeting card business until last year when he and his wife closed the business, the self-described foodie asked if he could join the team as a cook. Today, Shanley is the manager.

“I've never slept better,” he said. “I have immense respect for

James,” who shows up for work at 6 a.m., Metzdorf said.

Since opening the truck for business, July was Metzy's best month because of Yankee Homecoming. But to Metzdorf's surprise, August was just as strong.

For the fall, Metzy's truck will be very busy. In addition to being most days at the Plum Island Airport, it will move on Th ursdays for breakfast and lunch to the Mark Richey Woodworking factory on Parker Street in the industrial park.

After serving breakfast and lunch at the industrial park, the truck will move nearby to the Newburyport Brewing Co. for Th irsty Taco Th ursdays when patrons can sip a beer and eat tacos and burritos in the late afternoon and evening.

He is also looking for electrical outlets that could allow him to

operate the truck at Cashman Park on the waterfront and at Bartlett Mall.

Asked what his plans are for the truck in the winter, he said Metzy's will keep serving as long as the customers' feet don't freeze.

Metzdorf does not believe his is the fi rst of many food trucks in Newburyport. Th e area does not have the population density to support a fl eet of trucks, like a Boston or Los Angeles. But he is working on an idea of having a food truck festival.

Regular Metzy's customer Ken Woods, who claims to have eaten 10,000 tacos and burritos since Metzy's opened, invited two friends, Cindi and Bill Schubnel, who were traveling from Lacrosse, WI, to join him for a leisurely lunch at the truck last week.

Bill Schubnel declare Metzy's fare to be “the best and cheapest food on the trip.”

For the truck's location on any day, check it out on Facebook.

Plastic Bag Ban Coming Next Yearlast year. And Great Barrington voters authorized a ban starting in January.

Th e grocery store bag was invented in the early 1960s by the Swedish company Celloplast. By the 1980s, giant supermarket chains Kroger and Safeway had replaced its paper shopping bags with plastic. Most other stores followed.

Th e Newburyport council passed the measure after a grass-roots eff ort, led by the Citizens for Sustainable Bagging, and high school students urged city offi cials to ban plastic bags. Th e argument was that in this coastal city, the plastic bags often get into the Merrimack and other rivers and the Atlantic Ocean, killing fi sh.

One proponent, Amber Hewitt, gave a strong presentation about the amount of plastic being found in the oceans. On a research voyage across the Pacifi c Ocean,

she told the council plastic was found in every water sample the crew took.

Opponents of the ban say the ban will likely raise the cost of doing business in Newburyport at a time when the city and the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce are trying to retain and attract more retailers to the city.

One councilor, who voted against the ban, argued that the measure could be stronger. Th e problem is that customers will opt to use paper bags, rather than pay for and remember to bring reusable bags, argued Councilor-at-Large Meghan Kinsey.

More energy is required to produce a paper bag than the amount of petrochemicals needed to make a plastic bag, she said.

She urged the council to study other cities and learn from their mistakes. On her blog, she wrote, “Let's do it right the fi rst time.”

September 17 - 23, 201� www.TheTownCommon.com Page �

New research on driver's education and training shows a gap in teen drivers' knowledge - one that, if closed, could help prevent some of the nearly 300,000 car crashes involving inexperienced drivers every year.

That knowledge gap concerns the only part of the car that actually touches the road: the tires. A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) analysis of the 2.2 million car accidents in 2012 shows more than one in 10 (12 percent) were among inexperienced drivers and involved tire-related issues, such as insufficient tire tread or improperly inflated tires.

Despite the importance of tire safety, only 16 states include comprehensive tire safety information in their driver's education curricula, according to new data from Michelin North America and the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body for world motor sport.

Michelin and FIA conducted an audit of driver's education curricula across all 50 states, as well as a survey of 1,001 teens and their parents. Surprisingly, only 49 percent of teens surveyed and 47 percent of parents believe their driver's education program completely prepared them to drive.

"Auto accidents are the top cause of death among American teens,

Driving Tire Safety for Teens: Road Safety Begins with the Only Part of the Car that Touches the Road

CHILD ENRICHMENT

claiming more than 5,000 lives each year, NHTSA data shows," says Pete Selleck, chairman and president of Michelin North America. "Teenagers in this country are dying in car accidents or are involved in car crashes that are preventable, and require only very simple behavior changes."

The need for a behavior change when it comes to vehicle and tire maintenance is apparent, Selleck says. Of the teens surveyed, 27 percent admitted they never check tires, and less than half (48 percent) said they check tires at least monthly (the recommended frequency).

Parents don't have to wait for driver education courses to adopt tire safety lessons. They can begin teaching teenage drivers the basics of tire safety immediately. Michelin has joined with FIA to raise tire safety awareness through the "Beyond the Driving Test" educational program, and Selleck offers some advice:

* Teach teens to do "the penny test" on their vehicle's tires at least once a month. Place a penny in the tire groove with Lincoln's head pointing down. If you can see all his head, the tire treads are too worn to be safe.

* Demonstrate the proper use of a tire pressure gauge and teach teens to look for the recommended PSI on the label inside their car's door jamb. Everyone should check tire pressure at least once a

month.* Log on to

"Tires are the only parts of a car that touch the road, so it makes sense that driving safety begins with tire maintenance," Selleck says. "Driver's education today has done many things well; however, it has generally ignored some key safety facts - driving with unsafe or improperly inflated tires - that can be life threatening."

Yoga is thought of as an umbrella term for various forms of the discipline, but some kinds of yoga are said to be better for seniors than others.

A study done by the University of Illinois focused on Hatha yoga, which uses specifi c poses with fl owing movements, meditation and breathing. Researchers divided seniors ranging from 55 to 79 years of age into two groups. One group did the specifi c Hatha yoga steps, and the other did toning and stretching.

Th e results: Th ose who took the yoga classes three times a week for eight weeks had better information

recall (faster and more accurate), as well as mental fl exibility. Th ey experienced "signifi cant improvements in working memory capacity."

What's key: Th e half of the participants who did only stretching and toning instead of yoga didn't have the same cognitive performance results.

Th ere are, however, dozens of other forms of yoga for seniors to explore, and classes are popping up everywhere, as well as for tai chi and qigong.

After taking yoga, tai chi and qigong classes, here is my assessment: Yoga (any kind) involves painful poses, some on the fl oor. Tai chi is done standing up, but poses are complicated. Qigong has gentle, fl owing movements done standing up. All

of them off er benefi ts for strength, fl exibility, balance, stress reduction -- and memory, in my estimation.

Your best bet is to fi nd a yoga, tai chi or qigong class specifi cally for seniors, perhaps one that's taught by your local senior center or hospital. Ask questions in advance.

If you have a computer, go online to search yoga, tai chi and qigong individually. Check videos and watch the poses. Th ink about which type is right for you. You'll get a benefi t from all of them.

If it ain't broke, don't fi x it. Th is philosophy is fi ne when applied to home improvement, but it isn't a good approach for men's health and wellness. Fortunately, in recent years, male health issues like prostate cancer have received greater attention thanks to more men vocalizing how to live life to the fullest through diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

Th is is good news given that an average of one in six men will experience prostate cancer, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). In fact, it's one of the most common cancers in American men, with 233,000 new cases estimated to be diagnosed in 2014 alone.

"A prostate cancer diagnosis can be diffi cult for men and their families, but staying positive and being proactive about prostate health can make a big diff erence in beating the disease and living a full life after remission," says Dr. Jennifer Berman, urologist and Depend brand health expert.

Th e relative fi ve-year survival rate is almost 100 percent, according to the ACS. While survival rates are high, many men experience side eff ects as a result of prostate cancer treatments, including bowel or erectile dysfunction, fertility loss and urinary incontinence, commonly known as bladder leakage.

"Bladder leakage is more common than people think," says Dr. Berman. "In fact, one in four Americans between the ages of 20 and 85 experience it, so there's no need to feel embarrassed or alone. It's important to realize that bladder leakage doesn't have to hold you back or keep you from doing the things you love."

Dr. Berman recommends men with bladder leakage have a conversation with their doctor to answer any questions and fi nd ways to continue living active lives, despite the issue. In addition, she off ers six tips for living a fulfi lling life with bladder leakage:

1. Make stress reduction a priority. Stress can lead to infl ammation in our bodies - especially our bladders. Studies have shown that daily meditation can help relax your mind and body, decreasing the excessive nerve stimulation to the bladder that causes bladder leakage.

2. Commit to a regular exercise routine that includes cardio and strength training. Exercise, especially when focused on the pelvic fl oor muscles, can improve overall urinary tract health as well as bladder function and control.

3. Try products that provide a discreet and comfortable fi t, like Depend Underwear with Fit-Flex protection, which features more Lycra strands to help give men the freedom and confi dence they need every day.

4. A healthy diet can help you prevent or avoid additional loss of bladder control. Steer clear of foods and beverages that are known to irritate the bladder, such as caff eine, alcohol and refi ned sugars. A diet rich in leafy green vegetables and fruits will improve your overall health, energy, mood and bladder health.

5. Make time for intimacy. Sexual activity increases blood fl ow and nerve stimulation to the pelvic region while improving bladder muscle strength and control.

HURRICANES AND YOUfalling limbs and damage. Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts. Turn the refrigerator to its coldest setting and keep the door closed. Turn off propane tanks. Fill large containers and/or the bathtub with a supply of water for sanitary use such as flushing toilets and cleaning.

TIPS FOR PREPARING EMERGENCY SUPPLY KITS:

Include non-perishable food, water, a battery powered radio, maps, extra flashlights and batteries. The kit should include copies of prescription medications and medical supplies as well as bedding, clothing, sleeping bags and pillows. In areas where the major storms cause such severe damage, residents are urged to make copies of important documents like social security cards, driver’s license, wills, deeds, birth, and marriage certificates as well as proof of residence and tax records. Pet supplies and prescriptions as well as unique family supplies such as infant formulas belong in such emergency kits.

TIPS FOR FAMILY/FRIENDS PLAN:

Have a plan in place for how you will make contact and get back together with your family and/or friends should an emergency event occur. Cell towers can be compromised during storms, so establish agreed upon places both inside and outside your immediate neighborhood where you will meet. Agree upon a central phone contact number. An out of town long distance contact may be in a better position to communicate among separated parties than one who is at a phone number right across the street. Identify several places you could go such as a friend’s home, Keep at least a half tank of gas in your car at all times. Take your emergency kit with you.

We are superbly lucky to be living in New England

Like airplanes following one after the other, the season’s hurricanes are coming in for landings. When those storms beat their angry wet fists on New England homes, the damage and turmoil can be frightening and heartbreaking. There are many things we can not control, but let’s take a look at what we can do for our families and our homes to prepare for these events. Many of the following suggestions derive from FEMA and www.ready.gov.

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale classifies hurricanes into 5 Categories (#5 being the worst) according to their central pressure, wind speed and the potential for damage.

Generally, we here in New England do not experience the Category Three and higher storms, but the Category Ones and Twos are dangerous enough with wind speeds up to 110 MPH. Such sustained winds damage mobile homes, roofs, vegetation, signs (PROTECT ALL COUNTRY CROSSROADS SIGNS AT ALL TIMES), small crafts and cause flooding from torrential rains.

TIPS FOR PREPARING YOUR HOME:

To prevent broken glass, cover your windows with plywood. (Tape does not prevent windows from breaking). Stay indoors and away from windows and glass doors. Close all interior doors and secure outside doors. Do not leave any outside objects untethered as they could be propelled through the air by the winds. Trim trees and shrubs well to guard against breakage,

where the seasons afford us the spectacular colors and climate changes that keep us energized and our beautiful surroundings the envy of those who can only visit. It is most sobering, however, to see the news coverage of hurricane damage suffered by others a thousand miles away and look around our own New England homes one more time before we retire for the night.

Stay safe and be prepared this season. Know who and what you will cling to when the winds blow.

Denture FactsBrighter Smiles...

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD

years for the most optimal fitting prosthesis. There are many reasons for this maintenance interval and for regular dental examinations, whether or not the patient perceives any problem.

The first problem has to do with the basic function of the bone surrounding natural teeth. Natural teeth are held in their sockets by thousands of “cables”, called the periodontal ligament that tug and pull on the supporting bone during function. The bone is designed to be strengthened and stimulated in this manner. When the teeth are removed, the bone no longer has appropriate stimulation, and shrinkage occurs unless it is directly loaded again with dental implants. Bone atrophy is accelerated by inappropriate forces caused by loose and ill-fitting dentures.

Relining, or replacing the tissue surface of the denture, helps preserve bone by adapting dentures to the gums as they shrink, but it is only helpful for dentures that are otherwise in good condition, which includes a proper bite relationship. Relining also helps to encourage health of the soft tissues because dentures plastic is porous and becomes heavily laden with bacteria and yeast over time. Relining refreshes the tissue surface of dentures with new acrylic. Sometimes a more advanced type of relining, called rebasing, is the treatment of choice when all of the pink portion of a denture is in poor condition and needs to be replaced.

New dentures should be made when relining or rebasing of dentures can no longer re-establish proper fit and function. Often this is obvious by wear or fracture of the denture teeth. When dentures contribute to headaches or when the patient’s face begins to look

“collapsed” or “old”, the need for new dentures is likely.

Lastly, but certainly not of least importance, denture wearers need to stay current with regular dental examinations for inspection of not only the dentures but the tissue for pre-cancerous lesions. Since most people feel they do not need to go to the dentist once they have dentures, many early pre-cancerous lesions are missed.

Everyone is at risk for oral cancer, whether they have teeth or not. In fact, the constant “trauma” and lack of blood circulation caused by chronic denture wear increases the risk for oral cancer development. For this reason alone, annual dental examinations are recommended for denture wearers.

Many patients with older dentures report their dentures fit fine. You can relate this to the fit of shoes. Shoes get broken in over time and seem comfortable. However, the fact is, over time shoes lose their ability to provide proper support. Even though they may be comfortable, they may be causing other problems due to this lack of support.

If you are a denture wearer and have not seen a dentist in a year or more, it’s time to consider a dental visit. Learn about how your dentures are fitting and whether relining or replacing them makes sense. For most, it is also never too late to consider the benefits of dental implants to help preserve bone and secure dentures in place.

READING YOUR OLD HOUSETh e Georgetown Historical

Society invites you to join Joseph Cornish of Historic New England for a special presentation, “Reading Your Old House,” on September 17 at 7 PM in the Georgetown Library Meeting Room. Getting to know more about your old house—who built it and when, what’s special about it, and how it can be sensitively updated—gives you a sense of confi dence about owning and caring for it. Learn how to piece together the history of your old house as Joseph Cornish, Supervising Preservation Services Manager at Historic New England, shows where to look to track down records of your home’s history, and what the surviving physical evidence of your old house has to say about its past. 1Joseph Cornish has worked to save many endangered historic properties while employed by the Providence Preservation Society in Providence, Rhode Island, and Preservation Worcester, in Worcester, Massachusetts. Since 1998, Joe has worked for Historic New England in Boston, Massachusetts, where he

currently administers and enforces the preservation restrictions that Historic New England holds on 93 historic properties across New England. In addition, Joe is President of the New England Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians, a past President of the Belmont Historical Society and Co-Chair of the Belmont Historic District Commission in Belmont, Massachusetts. Joe has written articles and lectured frequently on topics related to architectural history, maintaining historic buildings, and Historic New England and its Stewardship Program. He received his M.A. degree in Preservation Studies from Boston University and his B.A. degree in History and Art History from the College of the Holy Cross. Th e event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It might not be wise to pursue goals involving others, unless you can stop impulsively rejecting new ideas. Either open your mind or wait until next week, when this "ornery" mood passes.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It's a good time

for the Bovine to be creative and practical for yourself and your surroundings. Shop wisely, not impulsively, and keep your Bull's eye focused on quality, not quantity.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You should feel more confi dent about moving ahead with plans that had to be delayed by an unexpected turn of events. Also, family matters might need more time than fi rst anticipated.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be considerate of others as you move into a new area in your professional life. Take time to meet people and discuss mutual goals. Th e more you get to know each other, the better. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Creating a fuss could get your ideas noticed quickly. But it would be best to present your case, and then wait for a reaction to follow in due course, rather than try to force it to happen.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Unkept promises might cause plans to go awry this week. You can either grumble about people "letting you down" or fi nd a way to make the best of it and move on. Th e choice is yours.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Putting off making a commitment early

in the week could be a good move. Best to act when you know you're making an informed decision. Expect more facts to emerge by the week's end.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A recent act of kindness on your part could take on special meaning this week. Also, look for signs of upcoming changes in both your personal and professional relationships.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Many of the tougher communication barriers between you and others in the workplace or at home could begin breaking down this week. Expect some surprises to emerge.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your "tough love" attitude toward someone you care for could be misunderstood. Try to be less judgmental and show more consideration in the way you relate to that person.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An unexpected workplace challenge could be daunting. But take what you know (and you know more than you realize) and apply it to the problem, and you should see positive results.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Recent relationship changes for both single and paired Pisces continue to infl uence much of your week. Keep your focus on developing the positive aspects as you move along.BORN THIS WEEK: You set your goals with assurance and infl uence others to follow suit. You would be an excellent philosopher and teacher.
