The race is on

“I feel I have the skills and ability to be a good mayor for this town,” Armitage told the Spotlight on June 8 after he submitted his papers to resign his council position. Restoring a 24/7 emergency department to Princeton is a main priority for Armitage. “The medical service crisis negatively affects the business community, and has an impact on the housing market,” he said. Armitage would also focus on recreation infrastructure to help attract young professionals, such as doctors, to Princeton. He resigned his councillor position as he is required to do under the Local Government Act. Princeton must now elect another councillor to take Armitage’s place. The deadling for councillors to announce their plan to run for mayor has passed, but other candi-

dates have from June 26 to July 6 to submit their papers. Acting Mayor Jason Earle was considering running but decided not to because he feels the projects he is working on as a councillor are too important to put on hold until after a by-election. These projects include restoring the Princeton Hospital emergency department to 24 hours a day and urban deer management. Earle also said he is busy with his full-time job with Fortis. “I understand Frank intends to run for mayor, that is great news. I have worked with him and seen what he can do,” he said. “I look forward to seeing what he would bring to the mayor’s chair.” The other members of council Marilyn Harkness and Kim Maynard - are also backing Armitage for mayor. “I am very pleased and support Frank 100 per cent. It will be good for the town,” Harkness said. Maynard agrees. “Franks passion and dedication to Princeton will be a huge asset,” he said. A by-election was called earlier this month after Princeton’s mayor Fred Thomas died of cancer in May.

Letters sent about proposed pipeline Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

A new pipeline could soon run about one kilometre from Princeton, directly under the Taylor Mill Trailer Park, the Similkameen River, Old Hedley Road and through the Lower Similkameen Indian Band reserve. FortisBC is looking to run a 161-kilometre natural gas pipeline east of Princeton from Kingsvale to Oliver. The proposed pipeline would loop an existing pipeline between the two communities. Homeowners who have property in the pipeline’s planned path or live within 250 metres have been given letters informing them of the plan. The letter says Fortis will be communicating with affected landowners during 2012. “No houses would have to be moved - the pipeline isn’t close enough,” said project manager Bill Manery. Rocky land on either side of the trailer park isn’t appropriate for the pipeline to go through, he said. Manery said he hasn’t heard any opposition to the pipeline but has answered questions from Princeton residents. The 24-inch diameter Kingsvale-Oliver pipeline would provide better access to new shale gas developments in Northeast B.C. Fortis has submitted applications to the BC Environmental Assessment Office and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. The pipeline

is scheduled to be built in 2016 if the project is approved. Public input is being sought on the pipeline’s project description. A public information session was held on June 11 in Princeton, and recommendations are allowed until June 28. Near Princeton, the pipeline would diverge from the existing pipeline for 47 kilometres before returning to parallel the pipeline west of Keremeos. It will ultimately connect to a Forstis station near Gallagher Lake in Oliver. Homeowners who are in the path of the pipeline would be compensated for the affect the pipeline would have on their property, including damage to crops or cattle operation, Manery said. Fortis would negotiate with each property owner separately, he added. The project area lies in the claimed territories of the Nlaka’pamux, Ktunaxa and Okanagan Nations. As many 28 First Nations may be associated with the project, FortisBC reports. A new compressor station would be installed in Kingsvale, about 30 kilometres south of Merritt. The project also includes compressor stations near Trail and Yahk. Comments about the proposed pipeline can be submitted online to the Environmental Assessment Office, by fax to 250-356-6448 or by mail to: Scott Bailey, executive project director Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria, B.C.

Similkameen Valley wineries haul in awards Princeton residents no longer have to travel to Oliver or Osoyoos to try award-winning wine Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

In the push to buy local, Keremeos and Cawston wineries are as close as it gets. And Princeton wine-enthusiasts can now sample grapes that have proven to easily compete against ones from more established regions like Oliver and Osoyoos. Similkameen Valley wineries won 37 medals at major awards this past month, proving tough competition for other B.C., Alberta and American vineyards. Top honours went to Forbidden Fruit in Cawston and Robin Ridge in Keremeos, both winning double gold in the Best Of category at the Okanagan Spring Wine Awards. In fact, the majority of wineries in the Similkameen Valley won awards, including Orofino, Seven Stones, Eau Vivre, Rustic Roots and Clos du Soleil.

“It’s a combination of good organic fruit and a focus on making easy-drinking wines,” says Forbidden Fruit owner Steve Venables, who won gold medals at the All Canadian Wine Championships in Ontario for his 2009 Earth Series cabernet sauvignon, 2010 Impearfection asian pear late harvest and 2011 Earth Series sauvignon blanc. The winery also won two Best Of double golds at the Okanagan Spring Wine Awards for a sauvignon blanc and an off-dry Asian pear wine. The Similkameen Valley has a micro-climate extremely conducive to growing fruit-forward wine, Venables says. The region has 600 acres of vineyards and a large number of fruit orchards. Around 40 per cent of crops are grown organically, naming the area the Organic Capital of Canada. The region’s highs and lows in temperature, absence of lakes and moderating affect of the wide valley makes a difference in the wine style, Venables says. “The soil can be completely different. We have such a range of course, rocky and silty soil.” Tourists often take the southern

route through Penticton to Oliver instead of stopping in Cawston. “But the more we get known, the more people are coming this way. It’s getting a lot better.” EnRoute Magazine names the Similkameen Valley one of the world’s five best wine regions “you’ve never heard of.” This week Venables served a group of people from Princeton who were specifically looking to try Similkameen Valley wine. The Similkameen Wineries Associations wants the Valley to be a destination for tourists, says the association’s marketing director Kim Lawton. “The Similkameen has so much going for it, amazing geography and a great, growing wine industry.” The word is being passed

around through the website www. SimilkameenWine.com and on its Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and blog pages. Similkameen BBQ King competition in Keremeos is a way for Princeton residents to try all the Valley’s wine at one place, as well as eat from chefs vying for the title of King. It will be held on July 14 at the Grist Mill. “We enjoy the same rain-shadow effect as Oliver and the rest of the Okanagan, said Robin Ridge Winery owner Time Cottrill, who won Best Of category double gold and Best of Best for his 2009 Reserve Merlot, “We have a bit more wind, which can be detrimental but it can also be nice to keep the canopy dry so mildew doesn’t grow.” Cottrill and his wife Caroline turned the rocks and weeds of the

ridge into a winery in 1996. Their gold-medal winning 2009 merlot was a light crop because of winter damage. “We were only 60 per cent of what we normally produce, but having a light crop makes an exceptionally good wine with intense flavours and good balance.” The list of award-winning Similkameen wines goes on: Orofino won gold for the 2009 Beleza-Bordeaux blend and Seven Stones also won gold for its 2009 cabernet franc. The Similkameen wineries were also awarded 14 silver medals, with Forbidden Fruit winning eight, Orofino two, Seven Stones two, Eau Vivre two and Rustic Roots one. Finalist awards were given to Clos du Soleil, Rustic Roots and Robin Ridge.

Working together to ﬁnd a resolution to emergency room crisis Contributed

The Town of Princeton and the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen Area H have been working actively to resolve the availability of emergency room services to the community of Princeton and the Similkameen Valley. With strong partnerships with First Nations and industry, the representatives are looking forward to meeting with Ministry of Health to corroboratively bring about a positive

resolution that will protect the physical, social and economic health of the Similkameen Valley. Representatives are confident that Health Minister Michael de Jong shares the concerns for the safety and well-being of, not only the constituents of the Similkameen Valley, but for those who travel the highways of this beautiful part of the province and therefore the safety and well-being of all British Columbians and their families. First Nations share this concern for the security of their workforce and their people, and industry has echoed this sentiment for the well-being of their working families. While all parties involved in seeking the resolution to the

need for 24/7 emergency room services understand that the Interior Health Authority is also working on long term solutions for overall hospital services, our immediate concern is to address this imminent threat to the safety and security of all. The Town of Princeton and RDOS Area H are committed to keeping the public apprised of any new developments, including the announcement of a formal meeting date with the Ministry of Health, which has been requested and is currently being scheduled. For further information please call Area H director Brad Hope at 250-295-3512 or 250-295-2542 or Acting Mayor Jason Earle at 250-293-6747.

SpotlightOPINION

Health care should be above political fray Staff Writer Penticton Western News

There’s nothing unusual in a politician of any level trying to secure benefits for their constituents. In fact, Penticton and the South Okanagan have benefited from having well-connected MLAs like Rick Thorpe and Bill Barisoff, as well as MP Stockwell Day. They have brought funding for roads, schools and a range of other projects to the region. But when it comes to medical care, playing political funding games is much more questionable. According to Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton, a longawaited expansion to Penticton Regional Hospital may be delayed, due to political jockeying. According to Ashton, Penticton currently holds the top spot on Interior Health’s priority list, but MLAs Kevin Krueger and Terry Lake from the Kamloops area are trying to get IHA — which is supposed to operate without political interference — to shift that priority to give Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops the No. 1 position. The ambulatory care extension, as Ashton said, is critical to the South Okanagan. Not only will it add badly needed services in Penticton, where the number of seniors in the population outstrips the provincial average, but it will expand facilities at a hospital that consistently operates at 110 per cent capacity, serving a large region of the Southern Interior. Nothing is free from politics, according to Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff. Which, sadly, is true. But there should be limits, and bringing political pressure to bear on an arms-length organization like Interior Health to force it to allow your community to queue jump, shows extremely bad form, if not a questionable sense of ethics. We join with Mayor Ashton in his call for not only city council and regional district directors to step up and speak out for PRH, but for residents of Penticton and the many communities served by the hospital to let their voices be heard by their local MLAs and Interior Health about the critical need for this long-overdue expansion.

HOOP DREAMS - Princeton Youth Basketball players didn’t lose a single league game and won the season championship. Special to the Spotlight Larry Mackenzie Princeton Youth Basketball director

Princeton Youth Basketball winds up another spirited, competitive and successful 2012 season. The kids come from Vermilion Forks Elementary, ranging from fourth to seventh graders. We try to make the teams

equal in ability, however this year the Rockets were the cream of the crop. They didn’t lose a league game over the two-month schedule and closed out the season by winning the championship. The Celtics finished second, Cavaliers were third and the Pistons finished fourth. I’d like to thank Char Anderson from Vermillion

Forks and Kirk McConnel, athletic director for Princeton Secondary School for their invaluable assistance throughout the season. The kids were coached by the PSS junior and senior basketball players. They did a terrific job, the easy part is coaching of skills, but in addition to that the coaches instilled them with sportsmanship and team play,

well done. Basketball in Princeton has a very bright future. Within a few years the early development of the kids will bring huge success for PSS basketball. Keep an eye on these young guys and gals - they’re going to be very good skill wise but just as important they will be outstanding ambassadors for the Town of Princeton.

Coun. Kim Maynard meets Michel Garant, the first paraplegic athlete on a strong arm bike to cross

Canada. Both the men’s dogs jumped into the photo.

Biking with his four-legged pal Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Princeton sees its fair share of cyclists pass through on expeditions across Canada, but Michel Garant is the first paraplegic athlete on a strong arm bike to make the long trip. Accompanied by his canine friend Mollo, Garant will bike 7,300 kilometres in less than 90 days while raising money for service dogs for handicapped people. “Mollo doesn’t run all the way because his heart isn’t as good as a human being’s. He only runs when it’s safe, about seven to 10 kilometres a day,” Garant said. He is raising money for Mira Service Dogs, like his faithful friend Mollo. More than 2,000 trained

dogs have been given to people with severe handicaps. Forty-six of these dogs were given to people outside Quebec and the Maritimes. Garant was left physically challenged after a snowboarding accident eight years ago. Mollo now stays by his side, helping him pick up paper, coins and clothing. “He can tell the difference between slippers and running shoes,” Garant said about his companion who has been raised from a puppy to be a service dog. Mollo is now five years old. Garant is determined to bike the entire way across Canada, visiting 83 cities. His wife and other supporters follow him in a bus. Princeton is his first stop outside the Lower Mainland on a very long trip across the country.

Membership award received Legion president Wayne Terepocki (right) and vicepresident Jim Turner (left) made the presentation of a 65 year membership award to recipient, George Kassa during the annual Veteran’s Appreciation Luncheon held at the Royal Canadian Legion earlier this month. Kassa (center) was raised in Princeton and returned after serving in the army for 14 months. Upon his return he became a member of the George Pearkes Branch #56. Lisa Carleton Spotlight

Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

Local George Kassa has many fond memories of Princeton, one of which is his latest - the receiving of his 65th year membership award for belonging to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch # 56 Princeton. Acquiring work with the Canadian Pacific Railway brought the Kassa family to a little place called Juliette on the Coquihalla— a long way from their home in Czechoslovakia. After losing their Juliette home to fire, the Kassa family made their way in to Princeton, the place where George Kassa grew up and still calls home today. Kassa has many fond memories of growing up in Princeton. As a teenager, he enjoyed taking many train trips to the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) and to Ontario to visit relatives. “Dad worked for the railway so I got passes,” explains Kassa. When I went to the PNE, I stayed in a rooming house on East Hastings for a dollar a night,” he added. The Amber Ski Hill was a favoured hang out for Kassa and friends. “Pop Erwin was a very good man,” states Kassa, “he used amber tobacco cans to repair skis—that’s pretty much how the ski hill got it’s name.” To earn money to pay for ski equipment, Kassa took on jobs like delivering papers, shoveling coal to create steam for the brewery and chopping wood and again shoveling coal to provide heat for buildings like the hospital, courthouse and the Princeton Hotel. When the call for service to the army came, Kassa recalls that his principal

had said that due to his good grades, he would not have to enlist. “My friends were going, said Kassa, “so I went too.” Fourteen months were served in the army. Kassa was discharged in April of 1946 and upon his return home to Princeton, he joined the Legion. “Every Saturday we’d get together, have refreshments and BS— shoot the breeze,” said Kassa while sharing memories of the Legion. He remembers attending just about every parade and Remembrance Day ceremony right up until a few years ago when his wife became ill. A blind date is what brought Kassa and the love of his life, Eva, together. They married on June 10, 1950 and shared a happy life together until Eva’s passing in May of this year. They were married for almost 62 years. Until their son Bryan was born, Eva worked as full-time nurse at the hospital. Kassa worked for public works as a mechanic for the highways department. He was also very involved in the community outside of the Legion. Kassa served as a volunteer firefighter, secretary of the fire department and was a charter member of the Valley First Credit Union, serving as president for 12 years. He drew up the original building plans for the current fire hall and the original Credit Union (currently the Lordco building). “I found that with organizations, the willing horse gets the work,” said Kassa, “so I dropped everything to spend more time with my family.” He retired in 1985 and has very much enjoyed time spent with family and friends, camping, fishing and travelling throughout B.C. in his RV.

The Vermilion Trail Society (VTS) membership along with help from community partners have made recent improvements along the 114 kilometers of trail stewarded by the VTS. In May, a two day clean up effort was organized for the trail between Princeton and Coalmont. General clean up and rock removal took place with thanks to the members who came out and to the equipment and fuel provided by Dennis Cook Holdings Ltd., and West Coast Equipment. Major clean up of the White Sands beach in Coalmont was completed by members Bill Allinott, George Coey and Margaret Ratzlaff along with a hefty donation of lumber provided by Ernie Rice. The caboose by the Weyerhaueser Roundhouse has been receiving an enormous amount of attention thanks to the efforts of Wendy Bentley and her team of volunteers. An extra special thank you goes out to Jim Short for all his dedication to repairing/replacing windows, the roof support and all structural repair. To Wayne Hooper as well, for beautifying the caboose with his many, many hours of painting—resulting in a true work of art. A huge thank you is extended to Argo Road Maintenance and the Ministry of Transportation and Highways for their donation of time and equipment to provide the upgrading of a 10 kilometer section of the trail between Princeton and Osprey Lake. The assistance in providing recreational opportunities for Princeton and

Don’t bash Canadian unions Alex Atamanenko MP for BC Southern Interior

Shouldn’t the economy be working for all of us by now? After all, we’ve been swallowing the prescription of the world’s financial leaders since the ‘80s, yet our quality of life is going down. We see the harsh results everywhere. People around the world, including the students in Quebec, are courageously defending their beliefs about what it means to have a reasonable standard of living and what it means to be an active participant in democracy. They want a future worth looking forward to. Unions have a significant role to play in this regard. Unfortunately, the intense focus surrounding strikes has led to a highly distorted public image of the labour movement. Yet, according to Ed Finn in a recent article in The CCPA Monitor (a publication of The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Page 5, April 2012), “All Canadians, whether they know it or not (and

most don’t), live better lives because of the efforts of the labour movement.” Some major union achievements: · Grievance procedures that assist workers where they are being unfairly treated · Engaging with employers in creating and maintaining healthy and safe working environments · Campaigns against racism, homophobia, sexism and other forms of discrimination · Programs that help workers struggling with mental health and/or addiction issues · Raising the bar of wages and working conditions for non-unionized workers Unions have also been in the forefront in opposing the privatization of public services. Evidence indicates that anticipated savings aren’t always realized and losing good union jobs has negative effects for many. Recently, when Toronto City Council was considering contracting out the jobs of civic cleaners and janitors, their union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) contacted the CCPA to prepare a brief weighing the facts. Following the presentation, council deferred any action pending further study. Five factors were shown to need further examination: (1) all aspects of the fiscal costs of out-sourcing; (2) lost government revenue because of the shrinking tax base; (3) increased costs of social programs to fill the fiscal gaps; (4) increased health and safety costs as a result of lowered cleaning standards and; (5) broader costs due to the downward spiral in social cohesion, marginalization and inequality.

MP Alex Atamanenko says the intense focus on strikes has led to a distorted image of the labour movement.

I appreciate the work of the CCPA in conducting various analyses of government policies. It reminds me that, while the media feeds us ill-informed or biased opinions about the labour movement, unions are doing their part to hold back unfair economic policies generated by corporate-friendly governments. Next time we hear about “union bosses,” we need to ask ourselves in whose interests it is that workers have been legislated back to work without giving the bargaining process a chance to work. (The very fact that CP Rail knew there would be immediate back-to-work legislation certainly made them less enthusiastic in bargaining for a sound collective agreement.) For years, the corporate sector has attempted to influ-

ence government policies. The current Conservative government, more than any other federal government in history, is buckling under this pressure. Deteriorating labour relations and the loss of good union jobs have been the result. The involvement of the labour movement is critical to all workers to reverse this trend. Rather than bash unions, now is the time, more than ever, to give them our support. A rising tide might float all boats but it’s not corporate tax cuts that raises the economic tide for all – it’s good paying union jobs. Let’s work together to reclaim Canada, promote peace and revive the dream of leaving the world a better place for generations to come.

Our Princeton hummingbird banding team demonstrated banding techniques to members of the BC Field Ornithologists during the 22nd annual conference held in Princeton on June 2 and 3. Under the leadership of local bander Sue Elwell, volunteer members of the Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists captured the birds, took measurements, applied tiny leg bands and recorded the data for the Hummingbird Project. This is the first season the team was able to independently operate since Sue now has her subbanding permit. Several years ago Madelon Schouton invited master bander and noted author/ornithologist Cam Finlay to establish a hummingbird banding program in Princeton. His successor Alison Moran completed training Sue Elwell last year to be a bander. The VFFN club is sponsoring the group and has contributed money toward the purchase of the equipment needed. Although volunteers are from the VFFN any interested person can apply. The Hummingbird Project is part of the Rocky Point Bird Observatory in Victoria and was initiated by Cam Finlay in 1977. It is entirely volunteer run and is dedicated to conservation of hummingbird populations. Information from this project is linked with monitoring in the US and Mexico. From this data they learn about populations as a whole, breeding patterns, feeding habits, health and migration routes. They have found hummingbirds are a major pollinator but the Rufous hummingbird is in steep decline and their numbers have fallen by 63 per cent since the mid-’60s. In the Princeton area we are lucky to have three species of hummingbirds - Rufous, Calliope and a few Black-chinned. So far this year the group at four sites has banded 186 birds and has also recorded 18 recaptured birds.

Similkameen Spotlight

Mrs. Kathi Koller directed the Vermilion Forks Elementary students in a performance of Alice in Wonderland, which the children happily performed for the John Allison Elementary students on June 13. From dancing and singing flowers, to Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, the Caterpillar, the Duchess and the Cook, as well as all other characters, the children did an amazing job.

Active spring for Field Naturalists Contributed

The Meadowlark Festival is traditionally held on the May long weekend in conjunction with the Penticton Meadowlark Festival. About 30 people participated in the two field trips. We met at Riverside Centre for coffee and muffins, registration and a meet and greet. Sue Elwell and Amanda Lahaie led their group to the Vermilion Bluffs and Hoodoos for the morning trip. Sue lovingly calls this area “The Golden Mile”. Another meet and greet in the afternoon, when Madelon Schouten

and Trish Reid led their group to Swan Lake. Great birding on both trips. Our visitors always enjoy these locations, and are thrilled with the birding and the expertise of the leaders. The evening program at Riverside Centre was the film Lords of Nature Life in a Land of Great Predators.” Hikers brave chilly weather Cool weather and ominous looking clouds didn’t dampen the spirits of the 16 hikers and canine companions on the latest Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists’ field trip. On June 9 Trish Reid led us on a trail around Allison Lake for two and a half hours, which included stops to

admire the views, birds and wildflowers. We found aromatic False Solomon’s-seal, Indian Paintbrush and Heart-Leaved Arnica, and even spotted a variety of birds, including Loons, Spotted Sandpipers and Barrow’s Goldeneyes. We ended our trek with lunch at Trish and David’s home on the lake yet another fun outing with a convivial group of club members and guests! The next hike takes place up Stemwinder Mountain on June 23, and there will be additional field trips throughout the summer. Please contact Janis Wright at 250295-7560 for more information.

Only use white sugar: VFFN Continued from Page 13. Of this latter group three were banded in previous years and the rest were recaps of birds banded on a previous day in the current year. Alison Moran from the RPBO is very interested in the data gathered from these recaptured birds. She is especially interested in the tarsus (ankle) measurement as the ankles of the birds appear to change size during the nesting season.

Volunteers carefully band tiny hummingbirds found in Princeton.

Feeding hummingbirds Nectar Recipe: To provide closest to nature hummingbird nectar the experts

their beak and tongue become sticky. This interferes with their ability to feed and preen.

agree that a 20 per cent sucrose solution is the key. To do this make a 1:4 solution of white sugar and water. For example use ¼ cup of sugar to 1 cup of water. Bring the solution to a boil and boil for two minutes then allow to cool. Place nectar in a clean feeder and enjoy the birds. Keep feeders clean and change the nectar at minimum every week or more frequently in warmer weather. Tip: Just half fill the feeder then you will not waste nectar when you clean you feeder. Higher concentrations of sugar can injure hummingbirds since

Other types of sugar Never use substitutes for white sugar such as honey, brown sugar, icing sugar, juice or artificial sweetener. Why Not? Honey mixed with water, icing-sugar and juice ferment rapidly and can kill hummingbirds. Brown sugar has five times more iron than white sugar, builds up in their bloodstream which will poison them. Artificial sweetener does not provide the calories the hummingbird needs to live.

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO.349

HOW TO PLAY: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column, or 3x3 box.

PISCES: Your finances take a real beating this week, Pisces, but not to worry. An investment will pan out. Don’t dismiss the gravity of a young friend’s situation. ARIES: Lean times call for some serious cutbacks. It won’t last forever, Aries. A blast from the past returns with quite the story and a lucrative offer to boot. TAURUS: Art renews connections, social and business. A racy remark gets the conversation going on what was once a taboo subject in your household. Be honest, Taurus. GEMINI: Angle all you want, Gemini, but the time is not right. Focus your efforts on something more attainable. A home improvement project comes to completion. CANCER: Prudence is required, Cancer. Speed is of the essence, but move too fast, and you will miss something important. Move quickly but carefully. LEO: Don’t let a killjoy dissuade you from your goal. It may be lofty, Leo, but it is not impossible. Make a plan of attack and work through it one step at a time. VIRGO: Facts turn fiction, and soon, you don’t know what to believe, Virgo. Look to a mentor to sort things out and get to the bottom of the matter. LIBRA: Travel is on the agenda. Short trip or long, Libra, you will have a great time. An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure when it comes to a personal matter. SCORPIO: Believe in yourself, Scorpio, and you will make it happen. It really is that simple. A friend undergoes a major transformation. Be supportive. SAGITTARIUS: Retirement may not be on your mind right now, but it will be soon when opportunity comes knocking, Sagittarius. Evaluate it from a long-term perspective. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY
