Town receives provincial age-friendly community award On the heels of receiving the Province of Ontario’s David C. Onley Award for Leadership in Accessibility in 2017, the Town of Arnprior is pleased to announce that it is the recipient of the 2018 Ontario Age-Friendly Community Recognition Award under Category 2. Age-friendly communities are characterized by accessible and inclusive environments, both physical and social, that enable seniors to live independent, healthy and active, safe and socially connected lives. Communities selected for the award demonstrate a strong commitment to key principles for creating age-friendly communities, including engagement with local seniors, collaboration with a diversity of community partners, and significant impact on the local community. In 2015 and 2016 the Town of Arnprior prepared an age-friendly community plan to establish key priorities for this demographic. Town planner Robin Paquette and deputy clerk Kaila Zamojski partnered to lead the preparation of the plan, which culminated in the recommendation to establish a seniors council. In 2016, the Greater Arnprior Seniors Council (GASC) was created and the Town of Arnprior continues to work with the GASC on an ongoing basis to advance initiatives that benefit seniors in Arnprior. Arnprior’s chief administrative of-
ficer, Michael Wildman, commented, “The Town of Arnprior continues on a quest of inclusivity for all its residents and visitors. We are especially proud of recognition at the provincial level for our accessibility and seniors initiatives.” Arnprior Mayor David Reid added, “On behalf of Arnprior town council, I wish to acknowledge the hard work of Michael Wildman and his staff, particularly Robin Paquette and Kaila Zamojski, as well as members of the Greater Arnprior Senior’s Council, chaired by Darrel O’Shaughnessy. The town is thrilled to receive further recognition of our efforts in making Arnprior a supportive and inclusive community for all our residents and visitors.” Darrel O’Shaughnessy, chair of the GASC, stated, “Thank you to the Town of Arnprior for all of its hard work and dedication in helping to create the kind of Community that we all want and deserve to grow older in — where seniors get recognition and respect as valued, engaged participants, where no one gets left behind. To have Arnprior recognized by the province as an age-friendly community is a great honour to say the least. Congratulations, guys.” The 2018 Ontario Age-Friendly Community Recognition Award under Submitted Category 2 was presented in Toronto From left are Robin Paquette, town planner, Darrel O’Shaughnessy, chair of the Arnprior Seniors Council, by Dipika Damerla, the minister of seDipika Damerla, the Minister of Seniors Affairs and Kaila Zamojski, deputy clerk. niors affairs, on Monday, March 26.

Arnprior manufacturer on second hiring spree DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
One of the great success stories over recent years in Arnprior is Pillar5 Pharma, which is again on a hiring spree. In 2016, the pharmaceutical manufacturer founded and led by local business people, forecasted a 100 per cent growth in sales over the next few years. And it predicted a need for new hires to keep up with demand. The next year it went from 100 employees to 121. This year it
plans to add another 25 — in laboratory work, quality control, technical and engineering, and mechanics — bringing the total to almost 150. Kevin Rampton, chief financial officer and vice-president of business development, said the company has recently secured a $12-million expansion project and is firing on all cylinders. “With this sizable contract we are growing and expect good things to come,” Rampton said. “It’s been a long journey but we are doing well. The plant is going to be here for a very long time.” The expansion doubles the size of the sterile
School boards dominate sunshine list DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
The single category harbouring the most employees earning over $100,000 in Renfrew county is the school boards. In total, 130 workers made it to the 2017 Ontario Public Sector Salaries Disclosure report, colloquially called the sunshine list following the Mike Harris government’s attempt to bring transparency to tax spending. Eighty-one administrators and teachers at Renfrew County District School Board led by Gayle Bishop with almost $157,000. Forty-nine members of Renfrew County Catholic School Board made the list, beginning with Jaimie Perry at $157,000. The school boards would also employ far more workers than other public sectors in the region. County, town workers Thirty-four workers at the County of Renfrew made the 2017 sunshine list collecting a six-figure salary. They are led by Chief Administrative Officer Jim Hutton $207,000, followed by Bruce Beakley $157,000, Paul Moreau $157,000, and Shelley Sheedy $153,000. Twelve members of the Town of Renfrew make the list, including: Guy Longtin $146,000, Michael Asselin $145,000, Keray O’Reilly $145,000, Tim Hill $141,000, Kevin Hill $127,000, Kim Bulmer $126,000, Peter Whalen $113,000, Michael Guest $112,000, Andrew Wesbrook $110,000, Garett Stevenson $103,000, Ed Coulas $102,000, Mark Griese $101,000. The Town of Arnprior had four employees on the list: Michael Wildman $167,000, Jennifer
Morawiec $113,000, John Okum $102,000, and Glenn Arthur $100,000. The Township of McNab/Braeside had one: Lindsey Lee $111,000. The chief administrative officers at all Ontario municipalities would likely make the sunshine list. Twenty employees of Renfrew Victoria Hospital are on the list, including: Randy Penney $273,000 (he is also CEO of St. Francis Memorial Hospital in Barry’s Bay); Julia Boudreau $142,000, Christine Ferguson $142,000, Tim Sonnenburg $136,000, Andrew Wagner $111,000, Jamie Cobus $102,000, Dianne Friske $107,000, Danette Hann $104,000, Janice Verch-Whittington $101,000, Jennifer Valiquette $108,000, Arlene Deloughery $103,000, Kim Dick $102,000, Monica Lapierre $101,000, Jessica Maclaren $101,000, Patricia Murphy $101,000, Rhonda Normandeau $101,000, Linda Papineau $102,000, Benoit Vicki $107,000, Grace Michael $119,000, and Patricia Smith $103,000. Nine employees of Arnprior Regional Health made the list, including: Eric Hanna $195,000, Susan Leach $134,000, Ron Marcotte $114,000, Leanne Gray $112,000, Kelly Stinson Foss $107,000, Victoria Hallas $103,000, Stephanie Walsh $102,000, Sophie Dhawan $102,000, and Rebecca Turcotte $101,000. Arnprior and District Family Health Team’s Karen Dube was paid almost $103,000. Other public sector employees paid more than $100,000, including those at Family and Children Services, Renfrew County Youth Services, and Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services, totalled 25 last year. No one with a Renfrew connection made the Ontario Power Generation’s list.

County moves ahead on Algonquin Trail Pillar5 is hiring At the March 28 meeting, Renfrew county council passed the following resolution: “County council has received a legal opinion regarding the development of the Algonquin Trail. The opinion confirms that the County of Renfrew has the authority to develop the Algonquin Trail as a multi-use trail.” Chair of the Algonquin Trail advisory committee (ATAC), Coun. Bob Sweet said: “This resolution comes as a result of a legal challenge put forward by the United Townships of Head, Clara & Maria regarding the use of the Algonquin Trail. The ATAC, through County Council, sought a legal opinion on the matter. Council has decided to proceed with the multi-use aspect of the trail, and will proceed with the development of the Trail Management Plan that is well
underway, and that has been circulated to all municipalities for comments, to govern the use of the trail. This decision aligns with county council’s decision last June to officially designate the Algonquin Trail as a multi-use trail and is consistent with our partners’ approach.” “Council has provided clear direction to staff on moving forward in developing the trail, and the Management Plan will act as a guiding document on the future development and use of the trail,” said Renfrew County Warden Jennifer Murphy. Renfrew County, Lanark County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron formed a partnership in 2011 and recently signed a lease and donation agreement to acquire ownership of the 296-kilometre discontinued Canadian Pacific Rail between Smiths
Falls and Mattawa. The county’s portion of the corridor runs from the Arnprior/Ottawa border in the south to the Renfrew/ Mattawa border in the North. The intent is to work with local municipalities, the public and other partners to develop the multiuse trail. Renfrew County hosted six public open houses in the fall of 2016. Many comments were received about motorized versus non-motorized use of the trail, and those comments were considered when developing the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail Management Plan. The trail corridor passes through 10 municipalities within the County and the City of Pembroke, and will form the “spine” of a future County-wide trail network as contemplated in the County of Renfrew Trails Strategy, and the county’s 1997 Abandoned Rail Policy.

Governments have invested in the company, which in turn has become a major contributor to Renfrew county’s economy. Pillar5 is searching for “the next generation” of employees; not just workers with the technical skills, but those motivated to help continue to grow the company. Dwight Gorham is president and CEO. He talked about leveraging the made in Canada brand to attract more investment. Specialization is also an important way to garner investment dollars for areas such as equipment designed meet market trends. “Made in Canada has certain leverage in other markets, especially from a sales and marketing perspective,” Gorham said. “Specialization will drive value in the long run, which is why we must try to predict market trends.” Pillar5, he added, is actively looking to find new partners while meeting with big pharma companies worldwide that may be fit for their facility.

Burn bylaw now in effect in McNab/Braeside Township: MBFD McNab/Braeside Township’s Open Air Burn Bylaw is now in effect until Oct. 31. Residents are reminded that all open-air burning requires a permit from the township throughout the summer. “The new permit system has been successful,” says Chief Dave Hartwick
of the McNab/Braeside Fire Department. “We have noticed a decrease in our call volume for out-of-control wildfires and the amount of calls we have received for nuisance burning over the past two summers.” The township offers campfire style burn permits free of charge and requires all residences to obtain a per-
mit before they light a fire. Under the bylaw, there is a fee for one-time burning and larger fires. “There have been too many close calls in the past and the bylaw was implemented to protect our residents and their property from a tragedy such as an uncontrolled fire,” said Hartwick. With increasing temperatures and

the final remnants of winter weather departing, combustible materials on the ground are drying out, which makes for ideal fire conditions. Spring fires are mostly started by human error — cigarettes being thrown from vehicles into ditches, residents burning grass and having their small fire get out of control and turn into a large fire. Residents who want to dispose of clean wood and yard waste can do so for free at the township landfill site.
These items are diverted from the landfill by adding them to a compost pile and by being chipped. The township has permits available at the office and will soon offer them Online through the Township website as a way to make it more convenient for residents. For more information on the Open Air Burn Bylaw or the landfill site, please contact the township office at 613-623-5756 or www.mcnabbraeside. com.

Arnprior School of Dance at CTC
The Arnprior School of Dance (ASD) competitive dance team was asked to perform for the fans of the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, March 24 before the game. “It was a very exciting experience for our young dancers and their families. All of our 24 groups performed for over an hour,” said ASD director Monica Lyon.” This Saturday, April 7, two of the competitive dance groups will be performing on centre court for the Harlem Globetrotters. “Seems fitting that we are celebrating our 30th anniversary with such exciting events.

Hats off to business Local businesses and industries are the backbone of our towns. We shop, work and live amongst these varied and accomplished establishments. And we’re lucky to have them. Our stores and companies have marked some pretty special achievements lately. Renfrew’s Bishop Water Technologies was highlighted at the recent GLOBE Water Forum in Vancouver. The Prior celebrated 25 years of serving Arnprior and community at a gala attended by more than 300. (See letter below.) There’s continued success for Pillar5 in Arnprior with a number of workers slated to be hired. (See Page 3). And there is some pretty amazing support for local business as well. Enterprise Renfrew County’s Starter Company Plus helped a Renfrew man open up a new main street furniture shop. Maintaining a successful small business is certainly not easy. Arnpri-
or’s businesses had to adjust and improvise throughout their downtown reconstruction the past two years. And Renfrew is gearing up for its own major main street reconstruction, which is beginning this spring. For both towns, an opportunity to recognize some of these amazing businesses and the people behind them is on the horizon. The Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce is looking for nominations from the community for their annual awards, which take place May 31. The deadline to nominate deserving businesses and industries, as well as individuals and groups, is April 21. The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce along with the Town of Arnprior, will recognize its business stars at the community awards April 5. Cheers to all our local businesses and industries, award winners or not. Keep up the great work.

Amazing resurrections begin MICHAEL RUNZ Nature’s Way
With Easter just passed, it seems timely to write about nature’s great resurrections. While none of our local wild neighbours technically die, a number spend winter in a death-like state. Groundhogs drop their heart rate and body temperature to near zero and sleep away the winter rolled up in a ball deep underground. A few have recently awoken and after crawling up their tunnel to the surface, no doubt blinked when they emerged into a bright but still frozen world. Woodland and meadow jumping mice are the only other two mammals that are true hibernators. Groundhogs spend winter underground, out of the reach of freezing temperatures. Other animals that go dormant remain exposed to winter’s killing temperatures. Unlike most of their relatives that spend winter as eggs or chrysalides (or, like monarchs, migrate), the “anglewings” spend winter as adult butterflies, hidden in crevices. Being insects, their internal body temperatures are controlled by the temperature of the air around them. If it is hot, they are very active. If it is cold, they become immobile. But when temperatures drop below the freezing point, most insects die. But the anglewings don’t die because they pump antifreeze (glycerol) into their body cells to keep their water from turning to ice, a process called supercooling. Because anglewings spend winter as adult
butterflies, they become active in early spring. Mourning cloaks are soon followed by eastern commas, green commas, and Compton tortoiseshells, collectively the anglewings. The name arises from their wings’ irregular shape, an outline that resembles that of an oak or maple leaf. When an anglewing butterfly rests with wings closed atop dead leaves on the forest floor, it blends in perfectly with its background. Butterflies are not the only animals to perform great Lazarus acts. Once temperatures remain consistently above the freezing point (which hasn’t happened quite yet) the night air becomes alive with the sounds of frogs. The first we hear are the shrill peeps of spring peepers, the duck-like clacks of wood frogs, and the rockingchari-like creaks of western chorus frogs. All three spend winter not only in a death-like state but also with half their body water turned to ice! So why do these frogs not die when their water freezes? Unlike the anglewings, instead of keeping all body liquids fluid by adding antifreeze, the frogs tolerate ice inside their bodies by controlling where it forms. Antifreeze is added to the cellular water but special ice-attracting proteins are created between the cells where ice crystal growth is tolerated. These frozen frogs spend winter near the soil’s surface, becoming active as soon as they thaw out, which is why they are the first to call in spring. By becoming active early in spring, they gain access to fishless temporary ponds, ideal locations for egg laying and tadpole growth.

After spending the winter as a butterfly in a supercooled state, Mourning Cloaks are one of the first of their kind to appear in spring.

Water rates may decrease with new water/waste water rate study TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
On March 26, Arnprior councillors heard a presentation on the new Water and Wastewater Rate Study and it may bring some good news for residents. The 2015 rate study, which is currently in place, has the average user paying $766 in 2018 and $797 in 2019
per year. However the proposed 2018 study has the average user paying $758 in 2018 and $781 in 2019. It’s a savings of $8 and $15 respectively and more savings are forecasted until 2023 at $36. Council will now review the presentation and it is estimated the matter will be back for a decision near the end of April. If the new study is approved it will result in a reduction for
the average user. According to staff there are a number of contributing factors on the water costs and when the figures were adjusted with the new study they were able to find a little bit of savings per year. “I think it’s certainly a workable plan,” said Mayor David Reid. The study also revealed the water reserve is in a deficit of $964,779, after
the major construction projects over the last few years. But with the current ‘pay as you go’ model the broader reserves are helping to pay this difference. The biggest project listed for capital expenditures for 2018 is reconstruction on William at a price tag of $222,000. The study also included a comparison of water/waste water yearly rates
with 14 neighbouring municipalities. Bonnechere Valley is the most expensive in the area with a combined yearly cost of $1,285, Renfrew comes in second with $1,185, Arnprior (2018 study) was in the middle of the pack at $758. The lowest on the list is Laurentian Valley at $500, however they only charge for water rates and not wastewater.

Horton Murder Mystery dinner set for April 14 Tickets cost only $20 for the Horton Recreation fundraiser TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
It’s a whodunnit like no other, Horton-style. On April 14 Pasta, Passion and Pistols: A Murder Mystery Dinner will be presented at the Horton Community Centre, 1005 Castleford Rd. with cocktails at 5 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m. Tickets cost only $20 and it is sure to be a meal to die for. Pepi Roni is the victim and the suspects will break bread with the dinner guests as they all try to solve the mystery together. The event is a fundraiser for the Horton recreation committee and is directed by local radio personality Chris Kyte. “It is set in an Italian restaurant in New York, giving it that old world mobster feel,” said Kyte. Cast members, along with Kyte, include: Debby Johnston, Mackie McLaren, Tiffany Lepack, Jamie Cybulski, Brittany Kingsbury, Ben Hudder and Richard Leavoy. “I am working with a very talented
and energetic cast,” said Kyte. “And I am very pleased that we have two new faces in our mystery this year.” It should be a very entertaining show for all involved. “A good chunk of what you see will be improvised so anything could happen,” said Kyte. “You won’t want to miss out.” Tickets can be purchased through cast members and at the township office at 2253 Johnston Rd., 613-432-6271.

New owners take over Arnprior junior Packers team DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
An Arnprior Packers alumnus has taken over as owner and general manager. Michael Couvrette and his son Matthew, who played nets with the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 team as recently as 2011, have bought the team from Marco Scapillati. Matthew said the opportunity arose and they moved quickly. Along with favourable timing, co-ownership is about family: father and son get to spend more time together. “We both grew up in hockey; it was always on TV; both of us know a lot about the game with his 50 years and me 20,” Matthew said. “And with all my years in junior hockey, it should work well.” A recent trend sees junior A and B teams linking together under the same ownership. Carleton Place has tier 1 and 2 teams; Pembroke owns Whitewater. Is Arnprior going to follow suit? “At the time being we are going to remain independent. We won’t be affiliating,” he said, adding the junior hockey world is small and many stakeholders know each other’s needs. “If a player needs a spot, we’ll find them one. Independence also leaves us open to a variety of teams.” Despite strong rumours last winter, the team is not moving. “We are keeping the team in Arnprior, 100 per cent. I have no intentions of leaving the town at all,” he said. “I played there. Last year I (as-
sistant) coached there. We love the town.” Matthew also takes over as general manager from Brent Sylvester who made his resignation known on April 2. Sylvester “decided the role wasn’t for him, so we had a mutual parting of ways,” said Couvrette. “I will be taking over going forward and look forward to taking care of mostly the hockey side, but a little bit of the business side too.” Couvrette has his work cut out. Most of the coaching staff needs to be filled. Those returning include assistant coach Dylan Scott and trainer/
scout Ben Jardine. A head coach, assistant coach, equipment manager and two scouts are required. “We’ve had a really good response so far,” said last year’s forwards coach. More volunteers are also welcome, including a music DJ, 50/50 sales people, and two people for the admission desk. Couvrette is looking for a coach who believes in a balance between offensive power and responsible defensive play. The team didn’t make the playoffs this season, so that will be the primary goal in the 2018/2019 season. Much of the team will be com-
prised of younger players, 16- and 17-year-olds, but a core of older players built around returnees Payton Jardine, Ryan Rivard, and Robert Middleton will be a guiding force. “Payton is a real heart-and-soul kind of player, great in the dressing room, too,” said Couvrette. “And Robert was only 16 last year, but did extremely well on defence.” Carleton Place had success this year with a younger squad, currently playing in the championship series, so the formula is proven. Doing a rebuild over a couple of years or more just doesn’t happen in Jr. B hockey, Couvrette said, because
player turnover is too high. It’s do or die every season. In the absence of a winning record, how does he plan to attract quality players. “Arnprior has a fantastic name in the junior hockey world,” he said. “It’s been around for 56 years. I know the cache is there.” Eligible junior players interested in attending the Packers’ summer ice sessions — beginning in mid-May and tentatively running Wednesday evenings until the end of July — can reach Couvrette at arnpriorpackershc@gmail.com for more information.
Bantam champs
The Arnprior Bantam hockey team hosted a tournament on March 23 to 25 at the Nick Smith Centre and came out on top winning the ‘A’ championship as they defeated Fort Coulonge 3-0 in the final. Team members include in the back row: Cole Carpenter and Hudson Gibeault; middle row: Monika Denault, Jake Timmins, Brendan Bowes, Keenan Lebarron, Thys Blok, Drake Hodgson, Skye Malette, Daniel Lewis; front row (kneeling) Cameron Dorken and Matthew Richard and the two goalies are: Mathew Weckwerth and Casey McDonald.

Mother was so excited, she could hardly unpack her supplies fast enough. She had gone into Renfrew that Saturday to peddle her wares and do her shopping for those few items she couldn’t get at Briscoe’s General Store. Out on the table was a piece of Dan River Cotton and some ric rac braid, two spools of thread, and something in a brown paper bag that was causing all the excitement. She opened the bag and took out what I had never seen before. My sister Audrey, older and much wiser than I was, knew exactly what Mother had bought. She was just as excited as Mother was and made a grab for what looked like a piece of piping with a clamp on the end of it. “Can I try this tonight?” Audrey asked Mother who was still smiling from ear to ear. Mother assured Audrey she could indeed! I dared to ask them what the thing was, since I had never seen one before. Audrey said it was curling tongs, whatever that meant. I asked if it curled ribbon, and with that both Mother and Audrey laughed like I had just cracked the joke of all time! “It’s for your hair ... it curls your hair. No more tying our hair up in rags at night. Just imagine ... curling tongs!” Every Saturday night, we had to have the rag treatment so that our hair would be nice for church on Sunday morning. I didn’t want to show my ignorance further, but I had no idea how it would work. It wasn’t something that had to be plugged into a wall socket, because we certainly didn’t have electricity. So I had no idea how it was going to curl my hair! Well, that night
I was to find out. Supper was more hurried than usual, with Audrey so impatient with me that she grabbed the tea towel right out of my hand to finish drying the dishes. MARY COOK The table was cleared, and wiped, and then the strangest thing happened. It wasn’t even dark, but Audrey lit the coal-oil lamp and set it at the end of the table! What a waste of coal oil, I thought … lighting a lamp and it still daylight. Then the thing that was causing all the excitement was put right into the lampshade with the handle sticking out! I couldn’t believe it! Mother and Audrey sat looking at the lamp tapping their fingers on the red oilcloth. Then Mother said she thought that would do it, and Audrey sat on a chair at the head of the table, and with a tea towel Mother took out the tongs from the lamp shade. She spit on the end of a finger and tapped the tongs, and I heard a sizzle. Then she took a handful of Audrey’s hair, held it out straight from her head, and put it between the clamps on the iron and rolled it up tight. She held it there for a few minutes, and I was sure that whole bit of Audrey’s hair would fall to the floor. Mother pulled the tongs out from the rolled-up hair, and right before my eyes there was the most beautiful curl I had ever seen. As soon as the tongs cooled, Mother would pop them back into the shade of the coal oil lamp, and curl another bit of my sister’s hair, with this newfangled gadget. Well! I never! Imagine, no more sleeping on lumpy rolled up rags.
Mary Cook’s Memories
When Mother finished curling every last strand on Audrey’s head, my sister ran to the mirror hanging at the back door, and it was just like she had gotten a new pair of shoes. She kept patting her head, and smiling at the face looking back at her. Of course, I was anxious that I get the same treatment, even though I had ringlets, I was sure I would look better with tight curls like Audrey’s. Mother agreed that my sister could try it on me. I sat on a chair at the head of the table, and Audrey did exactly as Mother had done, even to spitting on the tongs to make sure they were hot enough. She grabbed a handful of hair and the next thing I knew the hot tongs touched my ear, and I flew across the kitchen floor like I had been stabbed! I ran to the mirror at the back door, but I couldn’t see my ear which I was sure would never be the same again. Nobody seemed to be the least bit concerned. Mother calmly got up, went to the cupboard, took down the baking soda, spit on the end of her finger, dipped it into the soda and then dabbed it on my ear. Right then and there I made up my mind that Audrey and Mother could use the newfangled tongs if they wanted to. I’d stick to having my hair tied up with rags before I went to bed. Lumps or no lumps ... it was better than having my ears burned off. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, things may seem to be going smoothly when something unexpected pops up out of the blue. Thinking quickly will ensure you do not miss a step.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Communication between you and close friends this week is a breeze, Leo. You are able to tackle quite a number of subjects and may even plan a brief getaway trip.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are tempted to color outside the lines and break all sorts of boundaries. But at this juncture in time, it may be better to play things a bit more moderately.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may want to help solve a problem at work, but in this case, it might be best to let others draw their own conclusions. Take a step back.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your week starts out on solid footing. All you need to do is maintain the status quo for the next few days and things will progress in the way that you expect.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, if you are serious about your goals, you have to hunker down this week and draw out a plan. Seeing things in black and white will help you set your course.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, teamwork is the name of the game in the days ahead. If you learn to work with others, seemingly unsolvable problems can be solved rather easily.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Be proud of the way you are able to remain neutral in complex situations, Libra. This is why others will come to you when they need advice in the days ahead.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, although it may seem foolish at this point to scale back on your workload, doing so will enable you to focus more intently on specific details and do your best.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your performance at work is a topic of discussion this week. Others’ recognition of your hard work will provide a confidence boost.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, others may misinterpret your willingness to offer an opinion as intrusive. Reassure them that you are just offering help, not trying to pry.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, don’t be afraid to go off on your own this week. Sometimes you need some time to think for yourself to get into a zone.
