This Week:

Owl house building was just one of many activities and workshops held throughout the weekend at Synchronicity Festival in Shirley Macy Park. Kids and adults were enjoying working with their hands and using the kits to make something for their feathered rainforest friends.“Helping create suitable homes is important for some owl species,” says Jason Herz of the Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project. The workshops held throughout the three-day festival, also included a bat house workshop.

“Kids have a lot of fun putting these together: it’s a great project,” Herz noted. And some species could really use assistance from property owners and conservation fans.“Of particular concern is the federally threatened and provincially blue-listed Western Screech Owl,” the SCWP website notes, “These adorable small owls have experienced dramatic population declines since the 1990s, in the South Coast area, where they have nearly disappeared.”Screech Owls nest in natural tree cavities and

old woodpecker holes, but biologists note that development and forest harvesting has reduced the number of suitable cavity-bearing nest trees.The SCWP is encouraging the installation of owl nest boxes to provide more nesting habitat for Screech-Owls and encourage the monitoring of local populations on the Sunshine Coast.People interested in building their own owl boxes can buy a kit or a ready-made box from the Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project website at [email protected] or 778-239-9231.

Carmanah is an emerging west coast roots band from Victoria, BC. Male and female harmonies, djembe drumming, rock guitar and flute all drive the energy of this compelling musical act. Named after the fight to save the Carmanah Valley on Vancouver Island, the band recently completed a 20 city tour of their new album ‘Out of the Woodwork’. The Sunshine Coast is pleased to welcome them.

Sechelt, BC— August 25, 2014—Sunshine Coast Re-gional District (SCRD) is making it easier and more affordable for families and individuals to participate in regular and more consistent activity programs.

Beginning September 2, the SCRD will be introducing My Pass, a single card that provides Sunshine Coast res-idents access to all five rec-reational facilities, from Gib-sons to Pender Harbour. The card offers increased access to programs and services in-cluding, all public swim and skate sessions, Pond Hockey, Stick and Puck, weight room, dryland and aquatic fitness programs, drop in spin class-es, and racquetball/squash court bookings. MyPass members are also entitled to free locker tokens at the Sechelt Aquatic Centre, free skate rentals and a free gym orientation session.

“In the coming months, having a My Pass will be sim-ilar to having a library card,” says Bruce Bauman, SCRD Recreation Services Manager. “It is the one access card you will require for practically ev-erything at our facilities. We encourage the public to get

MyPass spells fun and healththeir My Pass today.”

The new fees will help in-dividuals and families select the most effective and flexible option. Adult memberships were $80 per month and are now only $51.19, and senior memberships are $43.61 per month. Memberships can be cancelled at any time after three months and there is an option to purchase 10 visit cards for further cost savings.

The SCRD is also making it easier for children and teens to participate in recreation activities by offering an an-nual MyPass membership for children and teens at only $99. If an adult or senior in a household has a current My-Pass, the children or teen will receive an annual member-ship for only $39.

“Research has shown that when children and youth increase their daily physical activity, they decrease their chances of developing many diseases such as heart dis-ease and type-2 diabetes and are generally healthier and happier for life,” says Bau-man.

The SCRD’s Recreation Di-vision offers a variety of drop in programs and member-ships for those individuals

who are looking for flexibility in their busy lives, or who are seeking out more affordable recreation options.

“A great way to try some-thing new before making a commitment is to sign up for a free Try It class,” says Bau-man. “A Try It class gives you the opportunity to see if you like it first before committing to registering for a series of classes.”

Families and individuals who are living on low income and wishing to participate in recreational programs and services can apply for the L.I.F.E. (Leisure Inclusion for Everyone) program.

“The SCRD has a key role to play in ensuring that people are engaging regularly in rec-reation activities,” says Garry Nohr, SCRD Board Chair. “As we work to strengthen our families, it is important to un-derstand the value of physi-cal, social and cultural ac-tivities - quite simply, getting together and having some fun can reap huge rewards.”

For more information about My Pass visit www.scrd.ca/recreation or call 604-885-PLAY (7529).

The District of Sechelt is undergoing a zoning bylaw review and update pres-ently, which council will vote on this fall. At Tuesday’s presentation, the Sechelt public was introduced to the new bylaw draft that’s been in the works for some time. The old bylaw adopted in 1987 needed updating to bring it in line with the 2011 Official Community Plan (OCP) and to address techni-cal issues for the District. This may be helpful to those wish-ing to see what is permitted and not permitted on their own property and any lots within Sechelt’s boundaries. The District has reduced the categories to fewer zones, so regulations should be easier to understand and to comply with. The redo also is intend-ed to ensure the community is developed in line with com-munity plans ratified a few years ago.

“It’s been quite an amount of work, with the plan-

Rezone plan ready for Secheltning staff leading the way,” Development Planner, Angela Letman confirmed.

“The District had a couple of consultants help, and worked closely with bylaw compliance officers as well as building inspectors to help create the guides,” she noted.

The bylaw package fea-tures simplified layout with diagrams and tables, use of plain language, and fewer zones, including distinct light industrial/business park and heavy industrial zones.

“We’ve gone from seven industrial zones to three,” the planner notes, “a lot of zones that had heavy industry as part of the classification are now light industrial.”

Along with these changes, there’s the addition of a new airport zone, and marine zones. Marine 1 working wa-terfront zone was added for water-based businesses that are more industrial, while a W-1 revision reflects con-servation and recreation fo-

cus, and limits on docks and wharves.

Some density planning should encourage multi-household developments, es-pecially for downtown Sech-elt, while townhouses will be separate designations from apartment zoning.

“These try to reflect the current development trends and Official Community Plan policies,” Letman explained. There are some alternative power generation allowed on residential lots, as well as creatures you might not have seen before.

“Some allow for food secu-rity, through keeping of hens or bees,” Letman notes. The OCP also brought in things like zoning for lane-way housing and seniors housing she added.

The bylaw is not retroac-tive, however, so no one is re-quired to alter their existing property to fit the new bylaw. Apryl Veld

Regional government is pressing the province to hold public consultations for the Sunshine Coast on the Wood-fibre LNG plant proposal.

Twelve February and July meetings were held in the towns of Squamish, Furry Creek, Brittannia Beach, Whistler and West Vancou-ver, but no meetings had yet been held on the Coast, Sun-shine Coast Regional District (SCRD) senior planner David Rafael confirmed.

“We asked for a consulta-tion opportunity in the fu-ture,” Rafael said, “for when

Hope for Coast consultations on Woodfibrethe full application comes in, and that’s up to the propo-nents when that happens.”

The meetings earlier this year were intended to inform and hear from the public about the project’s possible impacts on communities. The SCRD had sent communica-tions reminding Victoria that Coast communities are situ-ated near the same marine passages that the transport ships will travel to reach the proposed natural gas termi-nal. The assessment current-ly underway is looking at the implications of cleaning up

the old Woodfibre mill and converting it to a natural gas terminal in Squamish. Tank-ers would reach the termi-nal via Howe Sound and its adjoining channels. Several other regional and municipal governments as well as First Nations have been involved in the talks so far, and the comments are now compiled.

“Input received will be considered by the project team, along with technical and socio-economic con-siderations, in the plans for the Woodfibre LNG Project,” Woodfibre’s website states,

while consultation results are posted there for interest-ed parties.

The province sent a letter acknowledging interest from the Coast region on the matter.

“In light of the concerns that you raise and the inter-est about the project from the Sunshine Coast, I com-mit to consider holding an open house on the Sunshine Coast, (Gibsons) ... during the environmental assessment stage,” a letter from Asst. Project Assessment Manager, Alanya Smith stated.

West Van and Weston clash on LNG

Residents of Howe Sound are both supportive and have sincere concerns about the Woodfibre LNG proposal. While it is important to recognize the role that natural resources play in our economy, the province and the communities of Howe Sound have committed significant time, energy and money in establishing Howe Sound as the outdoor recreation capital of the world. In this context, the LNG proposal should stand the test of how well it fits with our region and our booming recre-ation and tourism economy.

I am concerned about the unanswered questions of siting an LNG terminal in an inlet, in the heart of one of Canada’s top recreation areas. The District of Squamish is partway through a comprehensive, facilitated effort to understand the benefits and risks of Woodfibre LNG. Gibsons, Lions Bay and the Sun-shine Coast Regional District are opposed. West Vancouver Council, like its neighbours, is exercising caution and will de-bate the matter further in September.

In a recent newspaper op-ed piece, John Weston, the Conservative MP for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country said he is “unimpressed” with West Vancouver Council.

A Member of Parliament’s job is to represent the broad views of constituents. Our communities are asking for a voice in the process, and I stand with them.

Be bear aware, pick ripe fruits and stay safe

The best way to maintain personal safety and reduce human-bear conflict is by re-placing fear with knowledge. How to avoid surprise en-counters and how to react if you see a bear are important to know here in bear country (in fact, all of B.C. is bear coun-try). You can begin online by visiting www.wildsafebc.com or the WildSafeBC-Sun-shine Coast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wildsafebc-Sunshine-Coast/462624630479359 for information about wildlife.

Carrying bear spray in a side holster is also an op-tion when out in the great outdoors. Keeping dogs on a leash is also recommended being as they can often pro-voke a defensive attack from wildlife. To avoid a surprise encounter, make noise while walking so talk out loud, clap rocks or hands together, especially near running wa-ter or in dense brush and blind corners.

Managing our attractants

is key to reducing conflict with our wildlife neighbours. It works like a broad brush, if we can eliminate things that attract a bear, we can reduce the amount of con-flict with other species at the same time! The fruit trees are beginning to ripen, and the secure storage of gar-bage remains an issue. Don’t forget to enter the contest to win a certified bear-proof bin from TyeDee Bin (on the wildsafebc-sunshinecoast facebook link). If you need help harvesting your fruit, contact the volunteers of the SC Fruit Tree Project at [email protected] Let’s keep wildlife wild and com-munities safe.

Locals seek unused bikes for Africa

We are still struggling to collect bicycles for Africa and to date have about 200. We will be holding two bike drives to increase our num-bers at the Tim Hortons in Gibsons on Sat Sept. 6 and at the McDonalds in Sechelt on Sunday, 7 from 8 to 4 both days. Our shipment, which will be paired with a B4H group in Whistler is slated for Lesotho and hopefully will be loaded on a container and ready to ship the end of September, hence the drive to find a few more bikes to fill it up.

Female Bishop from New Westminster discussing art and the spirit

History will be made on the weekend of September 20 & 21 when St. Hilda’s-by-the-Sea Anglican Church in

Sechelt welcomes the Right Reverend Melissa Skelton to meet the spiritual commu-nity on the Sunshine Coast through various events and worship services.

In November of 2013, Bishop Melissa Skelton be-came the first woman and the first American to be elect-ed Bishop of the 135-year-old Anglican Diocese of New Westminster which spans across the Lower Mainland, Whistler and the Sunshine Coast. During her years in graduate school, Bishop Melissa earned a Masters Degree in Business Adminis-tration and a Masters Degree in Divinity, preparing and studying for both degrees at the same time. Prior to ordination she was a Brand Manager at Procter and Gam-ble the American personal products corporation thus distinguishing her as the first Bishop of the Diocese of New Westminster to have had a career outside of the church prior to ordination.

On March 1, 2014, she was ordained Bishop at the Vancouver Convention Cen-tre and then later that day at Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Vancouver she was installed as the 9th Bishop of the Diocese of New Westminster. Since her or-dination she has been going at a non-stop pace getting to know the communities of faith that make up her new diocese.

Bishop Melissa Skelton is a respected leader in the field of Congregational Develop-ment leading workshops and learning sessions throughout North America. The congre-gation tripled during her 9 year incumbency at her last ministry post, St. Paul’s Epis-copal Church in one of Seat-tle’s urban neighbourhoods.

Bishop Melissa has a pas-sion for the arts, and will be facilitating a discussion on “Art and Spirit: An Explora-tion of Spirituality and the Creative Process” with a pan-

el of local artists on Saturday September 20 at 10:30 am at St. Hilda’s. Artists already confirmed to join the dia-logue includes painters Paul Gibson, Ed Hill, Gigi Hoeller, Suzy Naylor and potter Ray Niebergall. All are welcome to this free public event.

On Sunday September 21, Bishop Skelton will preach and preside at the Holy Com-munion Services on Sunday September 21 at 8:30 am and 10 am. She also plans to visit the Taizé Candlelight Con-templative Service at 7 pm.St. Hilda’s By The Sea Anglican Church

Sometimes I am consulted because people need to leave their dog on his own for pe-riods of time and the dog has a difficult time coping. His guardians return to a dam-aged home or to complaints from neighbors who have been disturbed by barking and howling. Sometimes the dog has been so anxious, he hurts himself in his effort to reunite with his guardian or in trying to escape.

It is important to estab-lish whether the dog is actu-ally suffering from separa-tion distress and not simply under-stimulated and bored or in need of house training to stay quietly in the house. Some of the recommenda-tions I hear of for dealing with separation anxiety can actually make the condition worse. To crate a dog who is panicked can result in seri-ous injury to the dog. To have the guardian wait outside the home and then return to shout at or spray a dog who is already distressed gives the dog more to be anxious about.

Home Alone

Date

Pet Smarts

Jane Bowers Professional Trainer The dog who truly has

separation anxiety appears terrified when alone and of-ten starts to show signs of extreme anxiety while his guardians are preparing to leave. He may become very restless, his pupils dilate, he may salivate excessively, he pants and, when alone, he may urinate and /or defecate and often barks, howls or whines. These dogs simply panic when left alone.

Dogs who ultimately de-velop separation distress often have been left for very long periods of time on their own when they were very young, may have experienced the loss of another dog in the household, or have been re-homed or /and have expe-rienced drastic changes in their routine.

The good news about sep-aration anxiety is that dogs who suffer from it generally respond well to a systematic, individualized program be-ginning with desensitizing the dog to the owner’s de-parture cues that trigger the distress (like picking up keys, picking up a purse or laptop bag, opening the door- that sort of thing). It works best

and fastest to engage the help of a friend who can look after the dog in the owner’s absence so that the time the dog is left alone can be very short and gradually increased (always working at the dog’s pace).

In addition, using natural anti-anxiety products like herbal remedies, homeo-pathic remedies and DAP™ (“Dog Appeasing Phero-mone) dispensers (available through veterinarians in Canada) or an anti-anxiety medication (through your veterinarian and used along with the behavior modifica-tion program) can help these dogs learn to relax when alone.

Try not to overwhelm the dog, and be patient getting through Separation Anxiety as it can take a few weeks to a few months.

As Applied Animal Behav-iorist Dr. Patricia B. McCon-nell states in her booklet I’ll be Home Soon: “There’s no question that dogs can have strong emotions, and that some dogs behave as though they are in a state of terror when their owners leave.”. dogsofdistinction.com

Porpoise Bay Provincial Park will be even more bliss-ful on Saturday, September 6 when Yoga Festival bends on the shores.

“I’m so excited about more people doing this together,” yoga teacher Georgia Cyr said, “It’s all about exploring.”

There will be yoga classes of all different styles so peo-

Yoga festival first everple can try something new and yet enjoy the styles they already love. Wear comfy clothing and bring a yoga mat and note there are shelters so the event will run rain or shine. See their website sun-shinecoastyoga.ca for info and reach them through their Facebook page.

SCRD and the Sunshine Coast Pickleball Association co-sponsored an “open” pick-leball tournament at Sech-elt’s Arena On August 23. The tournament attracted fifty-six doubles teams, and 75 players who competed on 7 courts for gold, silver, and bronze med-als in 9 skill categories. Mayor John Henderson welcomed the participants and specta-tors, and presented several medals. By the conclusion of the tournament, Sunshine Coast teams won gold medals in 4 of the 9 categories, and took away silver and bronze medals in all but 2 categories.

“We are delighted that so

Caprese Salad-Style Panino Serves 1 to 22 vine-ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced thinly20 leaves fresh basil1 loaf of ciabatta bread, or desired crusty breadExtra-virgin olive oilBalsamic vinegar / Coarse salt and pepper

Heat up a panini maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Grease the insides by brushing on some olive oil. Cut open the loaf of bread and baste the top and bottom with a little of the extra-virgin olive oil. Layer slices of tomato, mozzarella and basil on the bottom half of the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Brush the outside of the sandwich with more olive oil and place on the panini maker to cook, until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted. Whisk together equal parts of the olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a small amount of salt and pepper to create an easy balsamic vinaigrette. Use as a dipping sauce for pieces of the panini. Metro

Panini become sandwiches of choiceIt is hard to tell just when panini became a household name,

but over the last several years these beloved sandwiches have been growing in popularity. Today panini are on the menus of variety of eateries. The term “panini” can be traced back to a 16th century Italian cookbook. However, the first recorded in-stance of it being used in North America was in 1956.

Popular Italian fillings in a panino are salami, mortadella, porchetta, prosciutto, and various cheeses. However, less ethnic forms of the sandwich have showcased just about every type of filling. Restaurants may offer roast beef, breaded cutlets, cheese

blends, or even vegetarian options, dubbed “vegini.”You don’t have to have to frequent Italian sandwich bars to

get your panini fix. Electric sandwich grills look similar to a rect-angular waffle iron, while cast-iron pans enable home chefs to create a pressed sandwich right on the stovetop. Without pa-nini-making equipment you can still weigh down a pan on top of another with a brick to create the flattened sandwich effect.

Whichever way you cut it, the enjoyment of panini lies in coming up with ingredients to use in the sandwich. So try this easy, light, healthy and delicious take on a panino below.

The Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival cel-ebrated their 10th anniver-sary last weekend with an amazing array of concerts from ten musicians. The fes-tival also commissioned a piece for piano and string quartet to mark the occasion from Kelly Marie Murphy.

“It was an absolutely huge success,” one of the festival organizers said, “the piece was really well received, and (Murphy) is a significant Ca-nadian composer.”

The composer created a work for the Festival named, In a World of Motion and Dis-tance, in three contrasting movements of fast slow and fast, the Festival program notes. It was played by di-rector Alexander Tselyakov on piano with the Lafayette String Quartet on strings.

“The initial catalyst for the piece was in drawing paral-lels between the creative process and the annealing of glass and metal,” Murphy

World of Motion and Distance for Festivalwrote of her composition.

The commission was fund-ed by local and provincial grants the Festival applied for.

“We’re very grateful to the B.C. Arts Council and the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation ... and for the significant composition from

the artist,” the Festival’s artist liaison Margaret Skelley said.

This year’s Festival also pushed the envelope with trios performed by flutist Eu-genia Zuckerman, saxophon-ist Julia Nolan and Tselykov on piano, and brought lots of Coast and off-Coast fans back

to Pender Harbour.“It’s a wonderful festival

that gets international inter-est,” said artist liaison, Skel-ley, “the artists gain a cama-raderie, and the audiences love the artists, so it’s a win for everybody.”Apryl Veld

There are parts for every level of dancer to try out for at auditions in Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker ballet on Septem-ber 7, says Kathleen Holmes of Coasting Along Theatre.

“Everyone can come to au-ditions for the experience, to see what it’s like and give it a try,” the dance teacher and

3rd Annual Nutcracker - an amazing journeydirector said.

The rehearsals will be Sat-urdays and Sundays Septem-ber to December. Dancers who take on the flower parts must be on pointe, she notes, but many parts require just a couple of years basic ballet training.

This is the 3rd annual pro-

duction of the Nutcracker, which runs December 27 to 30, Holmes notes.

“We’ve been enhancing it each year - the music stays the same, but everything else improves with age,” she en-thuses, “This year we’re try-ing to challenge the dancers even more. Some have had

the same part for 2 years - so we would like to stretch their wings,” she explained.

Some will get to dance the same role again, but the choreography will change to keep it fresh, and the danc-ers are getting stronger each year, the Coast Along Theatre director said.

Miguel Nguyen who has played the prince will return.

“He has made our Nut-cracker a must in his busy schedule. He’s currently performing in Argentina,” Holmes noted, adding they’ll have at least three more guest artists.

We would also love to have more “real” boys in the pro-duction, she said. There are parts for all ages - and ballet is ideal training for sports, skating along with strength and agility.

The September 7 audi-tion times: Girls age 7 to 10, 10 am to noon; Girls age 11 plus 12:15 to 2:15pm; Intermediate/Advanced dancers pointe and non-pointe 2:30-4:40; Boys and Acro-gymnasts, 4:45 to 6 pm. Adult party guest parts for act 1 no audition necessary.

Click Homes promoter Rob Wilde was on hand at Synchronicity Festival do-ing workshops with guests and answering questions about the many aspects of small home building and customizing.

Live large in a small home

“The three things to con-sider when you’re looking at getting into a small home are your application, design and placement,” Wilde empha-sized. Another consideration is portability, as some folks like to move their location

without having to move into another home. The Interna-tional Association of Certified Home Inspectors says small homes are a fast-growing trend for a variety of reasons.

“While home sizes bal-looned from the 1950s into the early 2000s, data sug-gests that this trend is slow-ing, or even reversing. A 2008 survey shows that more than 60 per cent of potential home buyers would rather have a smaller house with more amenities than the other way around,” IACHI journal-ist Nick Gromicko wrote on their website.

Small homes are generally easy to maintain, are lower cost to heat and are attractive to people who want a place that is their own but doesn’t take up their whole lifestyle budget.

The Small Homes Move-ment in the U.S. is gaining popularity in Canada as well as construction costs grow and homeowner values be-gin to shift toward creating a smaller footprint and having less material things. Build-ing materials such a cob and rammed earth are popular in some areas, however wood and combined manufactured materials can be better suited to Coast climates, Wilde said.

“Small homes means es-sentially, you don’t let your

possessions dictate your life and you free up money for things you want to do, reduce building costs and reduce the need for more belongings,” the Robert Creek resident ex-plained.

When someone invests in a small home, Wilde notes, there’s often more money left in their budget for alter-native power systems and a larger piece of land left unin-habited to enjoy, share with wildlife and or grow food on. There are many portable small homes on the market, and these are getting some attention for their durabil-

ity (a life of 40 years) and ability to be moved whole or flat-packed to remote or access-challenged proper-ties. Click Homes are built on the Sunshine Coast in Port Mellon, and so do not need to be transported here, Wilde noted.

Many modular homes have high rated insulation and are built to B.C. building codes, unlike traditional mobile homes.

BRADSHAW - DonnBorn August 30, 1942 - August 14, 2014 It is with great sadness and sorrow we announce the passing of Donn John Bradshaw at the age of 71. Donn is survived by his loving wife of 47 years Patricia, his sons Shawn (Alison), Graham (Cindi). Predeceased by his father Jack and mother Muriel. He is also survived by his brothers Gary, Steven, and his sister Dale, and many other family members. Donn will always be remembered foremost for his love of his family. Donn was raised in Dunbar, Vancouver and graduated from Lord Byng High School. Donn retired at a young age to his property at Roberts Creek after a career in the commercial fire sprinkler industry.

Ivan Wayne Hink 1951 – 2014Ivan Wayne Hink passed away August 12, 2014 at Boundary Trails Health Centre following a battle with cancer.

Wayne was born August 15, 1951, the eldest child of Rudolph (predeceased 1996) and Elsie Hink (predeceased 2006) of Miami, MB where he grew up. As a teenager he was a Queen Scout and an excellent marksman. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, gardening and his dog. He also read extensively about nature and history. He enjoyed playing cards and could do challenging crosswords in pen. He was a private man with a great love for nature.

Wayne resided in Gibsons, BC for 35 years and worked as a glazier. Here he had many friends, belonged to the Legion and enjoyed playing darts. After an initial bout of cancer, he returned to Manitoba living at Kaleida to be closer to family.

He will be sadly missed by his three sisters Margaret (Don) Boulton of Morden, MB, Vivian (Robert) Stewart of Fort St John, BC and Brenda (Cliff) Seward of Kaleida, MB and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.

A private celebration of life was held near one of his favorite fishing hole. We would like to thank Drs Bisson, Woelk and Menzies as well as Kaeleigh Vodden, Deb Weir (Cancer Care Navigators) and all the wonderful staff at Boundary Trails Health Centre for the kindness, compassion and respect shown to Wayne. We also thank our friends and families for their loving support. In lieu of flowers, kindly make donations to the Boundary Trails Foundation Cancer Navigation, Box 200, Winkler, MB, R6W 1H8.

Margaret Boulton, Vivian Stewart, Brenda Seward and our families Wiebe Funeral Chapel, Morden in care of arrangements, wiebefuneralhomes.com

Horoscope

MichaelO’Connor Astrologer

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)You are probably busy get-

ting some of your last sum-mer licks in. On the other hand, you focus is turning to work and all the practical ac-tivities that late summer im-plies. Venus conjunct Jupiter in Leo is a perk for everyone, and perhaps especially for you. Meanwhile you passions are peaking. The question is: will they be directed to fun and loving - Venus/Jupiter, or to Virgo work?

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)An extra creative cycle con-

tinues and is entering a new phase this week. It has and probably will still include creating beauty at home, and in a big way. Clean and clear, produce art, make love, have party or all of the above sounds like a winning line-up. Contending with some real power players or circum-stances could either douse these flames or fan them.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)A playful, social mood is

lifting your spirits. Given that you have some real work to do in certain areas, you prob-ably need all the upliftment you can get. You will soon have to direct even more time and energy to that as well. This implies ‘homework’ of some kind. For now focus to fill your tanks with inspira-tion from a bouquet of co-lourful variety.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Building upon new foun-

dations in body, mind, heart and soul is a central theme now. Tapping your plentiful reserves of creative talent is featured. Making key invest-ments and reaching out to others who can assist you is implied. Call upon experts, professionals, wise counsel and/or angels to realize your goals. Clarify your vision and purpose for best results.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)All being well, you have

bSometimes the tide comes in bigger than usual, like these days. The overall effect may be somewhat mixed. But if you need to, look closely and you will probably see the silver lining, and possibly gold. The deep end includes some hefty ‘renovations’ close to home. These could also be of the psychologi-cal kind. Put imagination to work, ‘for’ you.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)A cycle of work behind the

scenes will give way to new initiatives and activities this week. The creative work be-gun will continue though. It is extra important that you are deliberate and disciplined and faithful that your efforts will prove worthwhile. But this may well prove easier said than done. Weave learn-ing new skills and strategies into your work.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Your social life has been ig-

nited. While the extra stimu-

lation will continue, you may feel the need to step back for a while to rest, as well. It af-fords a good excuse to read or perhaps write that book. Any wholesome activity that pro-vides quiet time will suffice. Doing so will recharge your batteries but if you do not you could feel depleted in the coming weeks and months.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Increasing your exposure to be seen, heard and ac-knowledged continues. But new strategies are needed. This will activate critical analysis towards new ap-proaches and innovations. In fact, you may find yourself re-inventing yourself somehow. With your ambitions riding high, the time is right for a revolutionary breakthrough.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) A period of fun and adven-

ture but perhaps also some philosophical reflection is giving way to a more practical cycle. But this is also a time of new beginnings and this may be especially true in your job or career. But it will probably take a short-term focus for now. Health considerations are also featured and some adjustments in your lifestyle may be in order.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Sometimes a more philo-sophical perspective is re-quired, like now. Implies stepping back, seeing a bigger picture, or a deeper one and can include looking and lis-tening within. However you do it, some contemplation and reflection is in order. Looking back upon what has worked and what has not, is likely. Above all, set your intention to decipher what to do next.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

A fun, playful, social cycle is now taking a turn to a more serious time. You are ready to get to work or to get more re-sults from your efforts. Some training is implied. Overall, this is an expansive time in your life. Making the most of it implies increased social involvement. Ideally you can weave or at least em-phasize both.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are in a rather complex cycle that includes a balance of expansion and contraction. You may achieve this by con-centrating your focus to in-crease your exposure. It may help to weave fun and adven-ture into your work, yet with extra emphasis on productiv-ity. Yet, avoid frivolous games and play to win!
