Omineca Express

Welcome to the Y. M. C. A! This summer an increasing

number of childcare services have made their way to Vanderhoof through the hands of the YMCA and it’s catchy theme song.

“We love singing the song,” shouted a group of middle school-ers during a YMCA camp day.

The Young Men Christian Asso-ciation is a Canadian organization dedicated to offering programs tai-lored to a community’s individual needs.

Now in Vanderhoof at the The Gospel Chapel, the YMCA has started full and half-day child-care programs and, have much planned for the future, said Sar-ah Geisheimer, 26, Vanderhoof YMCA co-ordinator.

“It’s still in the works but we are planning an art program for school-aged children for around October, and a low-impact aero-bics program for seniors for some-time in the fall as well,” said Ms. Geisheimer.

The YMCA was offered a one-year agreement with the District of Vanderhoof to deliver recreational programs.

PROFILES OF EXCELLENCE

Just one of the many valuable services provided by Progressive Employment Services supports both job seekers and employers in a new and innovative way. Workers On Call is an enhanced service designed to help connect employers with workers for short-term assignments.

Shelley Froese, Workers On Call coordinator, acts as a liaison between employers and clients saving employers time and money by giving them access to an existing database of workers. Clients submit their resume and sign a consent form allowing potential employers to view their information. When employers have a short-term employment need they simply submit a Worker Request Form giving details such as position,

duration, quali� cations, pay, equipment required, etc. The coordinator then shares resumes that meet the required quali� cations with the employer and provides any assistance needed to help make the match. Finding an appropriate candidate, the employer may proceed to make the hire.

Once the short-term employment is � nished, the coordinator follows up with the employer to gather feedback and continues to make periodic contact with the clients to ensure that they are still available for work and that their resumes are up to date.

Call 250-567-5785 (toll free at 866-567-7375) or stop into our of� ce at 139 First Street East, Vanderhoof for more information or to see how the Worker’s on Call program could help you!

Photos to brighten the dayRebecca WatsonOmineca Express

Out with the old and in with the new, some-times remodelling is long over due.

With the help of the Nechako Valley Pho-tography club, pho-tographs at Riverside Place recently received a long-awaited upgrade and the seniors could not be happier.

“It just brightens everything up in here and makes everything come alive. It’s absolutely beautiful,” said Janet Langevin, a six-year resi-dent of Riverside Place.

Old sepia style pictures that were too small for many of the seniors to see have now been replaced with large colourful blown-up pictures of landscapes and animals from Vanderhoof and surrounding areas.

The idea sprung from Ann Davidson, a member of the photography club, after visiting with her mom Hilda Villumsen 95, who lives at the seniors residence. Ms. Davidson knew that members in her club had wanted to start practising their portrait

and black-and-white photography, so she arranged for a senior photography shoot. Since it was around Easter, the photog-raphers brought bonnets, toy chicks and whatever they could find as props. The fun atmosphere of the day is evident with big smiles that are now proudly showcased in grey-style glamour shots located on the big wall right when you walk in the building.

“We had a lot of fun that day,” said Rose

Vellieux, a resident at Riverside. Realizing the difference it made for the

seniors, Ms. Davidson decided to apply for a grant and was awarded $2,000 from the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako to continue her project’s fun-spirited agenda and decorate the rest of the building with more of the photography clubs work. “We had all these beautiful pictures and no where to show them. This way everyone

gets to enjoy them,” said Ms. Davidson. Many of the seniors grew up on a farm so the pictures are of things they can relate with such as farming, landscapes, horses, birds, chipmunks, and tractors.

“Mobility is a barrier for some so this way they get to see the out-doors. It’s within reach and is still an adventure,” said Ms. Davidson. “And every time I bring a new picture in it’s stimulating for them because they get up to go look and see where the picture is hiding.”

As more money becomes available the plan is to fill the rest of the wall space in the living room with pictures of animals, and the wall

space down the main hall with pictures of antique cars. Many of the seniors have even started suggesting things that the club could take pictures of and has become a real high-light of their day.

“We really want to thank everyone who contributed,” said Fiona Lamprecht, admin-istrator at Riverside Place. “It seemed to happen over night.”

Dude ranch on the brink of closureRebecca WatsonOmineca Express

Animals at Drifters Mini Dude Ranch in Vanderhoof will be needing somewhere to go, pronto.

The owner of the ranch, Blanch Lawrence, announced earlier this month that she is sell-ing off most of the animals due to the lack of visitors combined with the cost of maintaining the animals.

“It was a tough decision but we may be closing down for good. We got too big too fast and now there is just too many mouths to feed,” said Ms. Law-rence.

The mini dude ranch, located a few kilometres east of Van-derhoof off Blackwater road, is home to countless miniature animals such as miniature goats, ponies, geese, chickens, pigs and rabbits. It’s also home to a few full-sized animals including a lama, a bull, a donkey, horses and pigs to name a few.

Some of the animals roam free throughout the property which make the children’s guided tours interesting for everyone.

“[The goats] may nibble on your jacket or even jump up on

you but they’re not going to hurt you,” said Ms. Lawrence.

Kids can interact with just about every animal on the farm, especially since they are mostly their size. They can take turns feeding the bull, ponies and llama

grass treats, or pet a goat or soft bunny rabbit. Although everyone likes something different, Rusty the rabbit in particular is especial-ly clean considering he is the only rabbit on the farm that is potty trained, joked Ms. Lawrence.

“I like the miniature ponies the best because I’ve never actually seen one until now,” said Mi-kayla 8, who came with Giggles to Words daycare on a trip to the ranch.

Two of the most unique ani-

mals on the farm are the Patago-nian maras, a near threatened species of rodent that resembles a large jackrabbit. The Argentina-born species is rare in Canada and can jump over five feet high and run over 45 kilometres in an hour.

“When they play they’re rolling around and jumping and spinning. It’s really fun to watch,” said Ms. Lawrence.

The brown Chinese geese are also fun to look at because of the black knob sprouting at the top of their head. However, these birds are not to be messed with for some people use them as guards on large plantations or wineries, said Ms. Lawrence.

“They are quite loud when disturbed and one wing can send pressure of around 50 pounds, which is enough to break a per-sons arm,” said Ms. Lawrence

Dayla Metcalf, owner of Giggles To Words, was sad to learn the ranch was closing.

“The kids love it there. They have conversations for days when they see animals they’ve never seen before. The ranch is a way for them to interact with animals that are hard to come by,” said Ms. Metcalf. “This is only their third year, I just can’t believe they’re going already.”

Farm changes a great leap forward

The B.C. government’s inten-tions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland.

Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland loot-ing spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed.

As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclu-sions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date.

The first one deals with re-strictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, prepa-ration and processing are simi-larly restricted.

This requires multiple dupli-cate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress.

“Amongst other things,” the discussion paper says, “lessening the restrictions on on-farm pro-cessing could allow the establish-ment of abbatoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve sur-rounding cattle, game or poultry

farms.” Then there’s cheese, fruit juice and even medical marijuana products.

And did you know that win-eries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, dis-tilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.)

Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound.

On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail space and product origin restrictions. The government proposes to al-low sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C.

This could make more local retail beverage co-ops viable. Or it could spawn a wave of unregu-lated rural liquor stores that cre-ate chaos on country roads. You decide.

On a more serious note, there are a couple of questions about changes to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Koote-nay and North regions. One re-peats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast. What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meet-

ings continue until Aug. 22.There are proposals to bypass

the Agricultural Land Commis-sion for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or big-ger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway.

And finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational

transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “en-courage the use of otherwise un-farmed land by existing or new farmers.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” cam-paign, continues to insist that

these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.”

It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Whoosh. A big gust of wind lends strength to the sail and away we go.

Speeding through the water it’s been ten seconds since we left shore and already I am completely soaked. The boat crashes through each wave, water spraying every-where. I can feel the rush of raw energy all around me. The wind is around 20 knots, what have I got-ten myself into?

I am restless and on all fours awaiting instruction. Paul Inden is the captain of this voyage, sea-soned sailor and zone forester with the Natural Resources district of Fort St. James. He’s steering and seated calmly near the back of the boat. As we continue to pick up speed I am told to sit down. I find myself wildly searching for some-where to hold onto as I bounce up and down because of the waves. I finally centre myself on the front corner of the boat with my legs hanging over the edge. I take a deep breath and laugh, the waters

spray tickling my feet. I look up and now is the first time since we pushed off I’ve had a chance to notice the scenery. Wow… what a beautiful view it is, to be surround-ed by open water and mountains in the distance. In that moment all the crashing, water spraying, and bouncing of the waves became blurred and I just felt free, like a fish in the ocean. Like Rose at the front of the Titanic. How invigo-rating to feel nothing but the wind. Maybe this is how Pocahontas felt.

“Ok were going to turn now,” said Mr. Inden. “Get ready to switch sides. Now….GO!”

I scramble to the other side making sure my head stays under the height of the sail. I find the same symmetrical space to hold onto as the boat slowly turns. The sail is flapping in the wind and suddenly tightens up.

“Let the sail go. Pull that rope and let the sail go,” said Mr. Inden.

I do what he says and whoosh, the sail opens and away we go. We’re now speeding through the water in the opposite direction. What an intense feeling. Knowing

you are in control but it is the wind that powers you. We whipped back and forth in the water a few more times before heading towards the shore. My heart still racing and my body full of adrenaline. I’ll admit, I was scared at first, but I would go sailing again any time.

Thanks to Paul Inden for taking me out on his sailboat.

What It’s Like: To go sailing

Running to victory

Rebecca WatsonOmineca Express

Some runners have big engines and some have big tanks, while some work hard to have both.

Vanderhoof’s own Simon Nemethy 13, brought home three gold medals last month for the Prince George Track and Field Club at the BC Junior Devel-opment Track Champi-onship in Surrey after coming in first dur-ing the 800, 1200 and 2000 meter races. The event was the provin-cial championship for athletes aged 9-13.

“I like racing and

RUNNING: Simon Nemethy 13, (number 344) runs ahead of the pack to take home the gold at this year’s BC Junior Development Track Championship.

competing and I like the chal-lenge. I always go for the gold,” said Simon.

Typically cross country people will have big ‘gas tanks’ because they run for long periods of time and, track and field runners will

have big ‘engines’ having to run 100-200 meters as quickly as possible. Simon has managed to develop both speed and stamina by training in both areas, said Brian Nemethy, Simons father and track-and-field and cross-country coach for Nechako Valley Sec-ondary School.

“Because he is my son he has come and trained with me and my older son ever since he was in grade five even though he is not in high school. It’s like starting to play piano at age four rather then age 12, you get stronger faster,” said Mr. Nemethy.

With the help of being around high-school aged runners, Simon has man-aged to become ahead of his own age group. With a passion for running, Si-mon trains two to three times a week with the Prince George Track and Field team and accompanies his father to The Masters Tuesday night running club in Vanderhoof. He also takes part in hockey and lacrosse which involves interval training that in turn helps with his running.

Before each race Simon does a jog warm up and dynamic stretching to help loosen up muscles. Listening to pop music also helps get him in the right mind frame. Some of his other tactics are clocking his best time and using that as motivation to beat it, and making personal bets that he plans to accomplish during the race. During last months championship, Simon told

his dad he would take off in each race with one lap to go.

“It’s really gutsy because I’ve seen it where people go out too early. With 400 me-ters to go they run out of gas and don’t make it to the finish line,” said Mr. Nemethy.

Simon proved the strength of his engine and depth of his tank by winning all three running races he en-tered as well as plac-ing 5th in javelin and 7th in discus.

Although track-and-field is done for the summer, the en-tire Nemethy family is now gearing up for the Masich mile in Prince George, a one mile track race August 20, as well as the Labour Day Classic road race in Prince George for running and relay the last Sunday in August.

Vanderhoof champion takes golf goldRebecca Watson

Omineca Express

It came down to a three-hole sudden death.

Proving his skill at one of the biggest mens golf tournaments of the year in the region of Bulkley Nechako, Vanderhoof resident Trevor Metcalf, 26, took home first place from this year’s Simon Fraser Mens Open at the Prince George Golf and Curling Club. “I wasn’t surprised I won, I was more surprised anyone caught me. I knew someone would have to shoot really good to catch me,” said Mr. Metcalf.

Having played golf since

he was 12, Mr. Metcalf used to be a pro golfer and teacher but now plays for fun and occasionally donates his lessons. Although he doesn’t play as much as he used to, his ability was evident at this month’s tournament. He took a lead right from day one and his score remained higher than the other players on the 18-hole course for most of the weekend.

Going into day three he was ahead with a score of six under par (136), but four-time defending champion Kevin Pedersen was not too far behind with three under (139). That’s when Mr. Pedersen started to up his game.

GOLF PRO: Trevor Metcalf swung his way to a golf victory this month.

“It was scary, he started playing really well,” said Mr. Metcalf.

By hole ten on day three Mr. Pedersen had caught up to Mr. Metcalf and the score was squared. The two stayed tied all the way through hole 18 (204) so they moved into a sudden death playoff. The two men tied both the first and second holes of sudden death, but on hole three Mr.

Pederson boogied (one over par) and Mr. Metcalf made par.

Finishing nine under par after three days, Mr. Metcalf beat Mr. Pedersen making himself the new defending champion and, took home the top prize of $600, and a bundle of gloating rights.

It was an intense weekend of golf and great to watch, said

Claude Bertoli, pro-shop manager at the Prince George Golf and Curling Club.

“They are both calm players and long hitters. No one lost by mistake, it was back and forth almost all 18 holes until the final day,” said Mr. Bertoli.

“I’ve been a member here for 25 years and I have never heard of Vanderhoof winning this, until now.”

Vanderhoof Airshow an aerial success

Photo by Rebecca Watson

AEROBATICS AIRSHOW: Bud and Ross Granley, father and son duo, perform their flying stunts all over the world and were seen at Vander-hoof’s 2014 Airshow in close proximity.

Rebecca WatsonOmineca Express

The third annual Vanderhoof Air Show was bigger and better than ever before.

“I wasn’t prepared for what I saw. I was really impressed with the number of acts and the quality of acts,” said James Wiens, a spectator at the event.

On August 9, rows of planes and pilots grouped around the airport hanger in Vander-hoof awaiting their turn at pleasing the crowd, which was much bigger than last year. Each pilot preformed their dare devilish acts, and there were a few new acts this year including the dirt biking boys from Van-derhoof, Jeff Fehr and Luke Wheeler, who got the crowds cheering with excitement.

One pilot, Bud Granley, who has had his private licence with the air cadets since 1955, has performed in countless air shows over the past 54 years. Other than talking to pretty girls, his favourite thing about performing is get-ting paid enough for the upkeep of his plane and flying with his son, Ross Granley, who has done a

duo performance with his dad for 15 years.

“You have to trust that your flying next to a generous leader and you have to really help each other with the follow back,” said Bud.

Ross also added that him and his father have a tremendous respect for each other.

“For some it may be a contentious relationship working with their father but we have a co-opera-tive relationship. And since we are so comfortable with each other we push each other with manoeu-vres that others wouldn’t. But we keep it safe,” said Ross.

Another internationally-known pilot at the Vanderhoof Air Show was Anna Serbinenko with her ‘Sky dancing’ routine. As the only female aerobatics performer currently in Canada, she is an inspiration to women and proves that anything is possible.

“ I want to inspire and show girls and women everywhere they can achieve their dreams,” said Ms. Serbinenko. “They can be up there and they can fly. It’s closer than you think.”

Happy 100 birthday 4-H B.C.Rebecca WatsonOmineca Express

This year 4-H B.C. is celebrating 100 years of service in support of youth development across the province.

By making it past the century mark, the club’s focus remains on creating awareness that the club is still here and going strong, said Cindy Hassen, leader at large in Vanderhoof and chair of this year’s planning committee.

“100 years will never happen again in our lifetime. It is so special that a club has survived that long even with all it’s changes,” said Ms. Hassen.

4-H is an organiza-tion dedicated to help-ing youth with their future by preparing them in a fun way to be an adult. Children can participate in various leadership, agriculture, communication, cre-ative and mechanical programs to help them acquire essential life skills.

A known part of 4-H has always been working with animals and allowing children to learn and grow using animal projects. Young children can start off with a rabbit or poultry assignment while oth-ers learn the ins and outs of raising their own beef and swine.

“Its very educational because you learn all the odds and ends about husbandries. If you choose to have a beef

farm in the future you will know how,” said Jayci Pyy 17, who has been a 4-H member for seven years.

One outdoor-living program offered by Vanderhoof 4-H clubs gives children a chance at making their own emergency first-aid kits. The unit then takes them on a hike to practise following safety rules such as staying together and carrying a whistle at all times. The program also boosts a campfire-building component. ‘Learn by doing’ is the 4-H motto.

“If you don’t know how to do it we will teach you, and that’s for the parents and everybody,” said Ms. Hassen.

Over the years the club has changed and added programs in order to better suit the changing and dynamic needs of a growing population.

“There are more workshops, more evolvement, and more

chances of learning for the kids. There is even a lot more traveling op-portunities for seniors,” said Ms. Hassen.

Some other 4-H pro-grams include speech giving with a focus on personal development, photography with a focus on creativity and building small en-gines with a focus on mechanics. Children up to the age of 19 can participate in the step-by-step unit programs, and if they choose to, can become ambassa-

dors by traveling and representing their club. Those in grade 11 or 12 can even earn full credits with 4-H by be-ing a dedicated member and completing the requirements of their specific unit. There are also scholarship opportunities for those who may excel in their given field.

“There’s a reason af-ter 100 years were still here and going strong,” said Ms. Hassen. “It’s a fantastic club doing amazing things.”

Many homes are filled with stuff, and many ‘stuff’s’ are stuffed with fire retardant materials. Furniture, cushions, pillows, even some toys.

Fire retardant material burns slower, and as such the hopes are to minimize damage if a fire broke out in the home, sounds great right? Except for the fact that those same materials give off an abundance of harmful chemicals the more you come in contact with them… and when your furniture contains them.. that’s a lot of contact making it very difficult to avoid.

Children are at most risk when it comes to building up of these chemicals in the body. That can be toxic, and cause a host of problems.

So for the next few articles let’s focus on what you can do about it.

Let’s start with babies – baby products, furniture, seats, cushions, etc can contain these materials, so when you buy, or gift be sure to find out before hand if the manufacturer uses these chemicals. Then avoid, or remove articles that do. Babies are at the highest risk for chemical exposure.

When buying new furniture be sure to chose furniture made without fire retardants. You will most likely have your furniture for decades, so it’s worth it to do the little bit of extra homework to make sure you’ll be sleeping in peace and not soaking in a chemical brine.

Flame retardants and your health

The Regional District of Bulk-ley-Nechako (RDBN) ended the � nancial year of 2013 in the red, with a de� cit of nearly $540,000, according to the audited � nancial statement that was made public by the regional district earlier this month.

Total revenue actually in-creased for the RDBN in 2013, up to $11,367,915 compared to 2012 revenue, which came in at $11,208,830, yet despite the in-crease in revenue, albeit a small one, the RDBN still found itself in the hole $539,962 in 2013.

The regional district ended 2012 with a $45,907 surplus.

One of the biggest increases in revenue in 2013 was the increase in property tax requisition for electoral areas within the RDBN, which increased from $4,223,356 in 2012 to $4,629,158 in 2013, although property tax requisition in municipalities actually de-creased from $3,076,001 in 2012 to $2,837,337 in 2013.

In total, combining revenues from both property taxes in elec-toral areas and property taxes in

municipalities, total revenue in-creased in 2013 to $7,526,535 up from $7,299,357 in 2012.

Another signi� cant increase to revenue in the RDBN in 2013 came from money collected from fees and permits, which in-creased to $872,754 in 2013 from $821,532 in 2012.

Other areas of revenue increase in the RDBN in 2013 include in-creases in municipal cost sharing, municipal debt payments, grants in lieu of taxes and other condi-tional grants.

Grant money from federal grants and money from provin-cial grants decreased signi� cantly in 2013 compared to 2012, as the RDBN saw money from federal grants decrease $100,369 to a total of $543,334 and money from pro-vincial grants decreased $139,522 to a total of $122,432 in 2013.

Revenue from property taxes and utility user fees is recognized in the period to which it relates and revenue from government and other grants is recognized in the year which it is approved by the funders.

While revenue brought in by the RDBN slightly increased, just over $150,000, the increase

in spending far outstripped addi-tional revenue brought in during 2013.

Expenses for the RDBN for 2013 totalled $11,907,877, more than a $700,000 increase from 2012 when expenses totalled $11,162,923.

One of the biggest increases to expenses by the RDBN in 2013 came from environmental ser-vices, which includes liquid waste management, recycling, including the Encorp Paci� c Return-It pro-gram, funding to the North-west Invasive Plant Council, which the RDBN is a part of and the management of the waste site up Babine Lake Road.

In total spending on envi-ronmental services increased to $3,809,291 in 2013 up from $3,466,374 in 2012.

Increase spending on envi-ronmental services wasn’t the only area of increase in the RDBN, as spending was in-creased across the board.

The regional district in-creased spending on recre-ation and culture, � re protec-tion and emergency response, building inspection and num-

bering, planning and development services, street lighting and trans-portation and sewer and water.

The only area that saw a de-crease in spending was for gov-ernment- general, rural and lo-cal commission services, which saw a decrease of $117,029 from $2,737,011 in 2012 to $2,619,982 in 2013.

Staff renumeration also in-creased in 2013, from $2,932,256 in 2012 to $3,623,537, an increase of $91,281 in payments to staff at

the RDBN.While staff renumeration in-

creased, renumeration for RD-BN’s board of directors decreased in 2013 from $272,894 in 2012 to $257,687 a decrease of $15,207.

While the RDBN ran an an-nual de� cit in 2013 the net sur-plus continues to be positive at $14,616,606.

The net surplus includes op-erating revenue, reserve revenue, capital revenue and non-� nancial assets.

We are hoping to home this guy with his best friend and caretaker Slinky, they seem to be joined at the hip! Together this duo is really going to enrich someone’s life. Slinky is a sweet little cat who has taken on the role of Mr. Bojangles’s caretaker. She is a quiet cat that seems a little shy, but does enjoy some attention and will probably open up more in a nice home. One of her favorite things is to snuggle with and have naps with Mr.Bojangles.

The Fun PageARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you may have to make a few minor changes to your original plan, but other than those minor adjust-ments there is nothing standing in your way this week.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Home improvement projects continue to pile up, Taurus. Use this week as an opportunity to get everything in motion and on the path to completion.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21A few more tweaks and your master plan will be complete, Gemini. Now you just need a few able-bodied volunteers to work with you through some of the hard labor.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, a late-summer trip makes the perfect finale to a few good weeks of recreation. A little adventure is in your future, so make the most of this opportunity.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, once you have your mind made up, it is extremely difficult to sway your opinion. Others will try this week to get you onto their side. But you’re just not feeling it.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, whether you have been lucky or unlucky in love as of late, this is the week for some romantic surprises. Your entire perspective could be turned on its head.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23A small disappointment has you out of whack, Libra. Don’t let it get to you for too long. Family members will help pull you out of a brief funk and get you on your feet.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you may be ready to make some really big changes. Forge ahead with the plans you have created, and you will be glad for having done so.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Financial issues come to the forefront of a relationship, Sagittarius. Keep arguments from escalating by being open and honest about all purchases. Things can be worked out together.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Few things can wipe away the smile on your face this week, Capricorn. You are in an eternally good mood, and your positivity is intoxicating to others around you.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you will have an enormous sense of accom-plishment when you finish a task you thought above your skill level. Always believe in yourself.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20There is little room for things other than work this week, Pisces. Now is not the time to take on new chores. Save them for later.
