News Blueberry school society steps out JIM SINCLAIR WKA Editor

Existing in a facility which has long been operated by School District #20, the Blueberry Community School Society is testing it’s wings with a freshly signed three-year lease on the former elementary school in the district at the far south end of the City of Castlegar. The civic government has expressed moral as well as financial support for the venture, and did so at the annual Blueberry Community Barbecue held May 24. The society’s goal is to continue with ongoing programs at the building centrally located in the Blueberry Creek district, and expand the amount of use of the facility. The plan is to welcome more events, and set up a commercial-grade kitchen as well, all in the effort to be a sustainable, ongoing entity for children and other members of the area. “This is something the community really needs,” said Mayor Chernoff in the packed gymnasium. “Without this we’d be in big trouble. When new people come to the community this is what they’re looking for. This centre, with

News New Grohman dock moves ahead NELSON STAFF West Kootenay Advertiser

A new dock for the Grohman Creek subdivision on Kootenay Lake’s West Arm is a go. Docking society president Jeff Muldoon told 103.5 The Bridge the new 29-slip facility, expected to cost $76,000, should be installed the third week of June. It will take the place of a smaller, existing dock that hasn’t seen much maintenance in recent years in anticipation of its replacement. The community west of Nelson is accessed primarily by boat. In 2011 the society approached the Regional District of Central Kootenay about building and maintaining a dock, but following a feasibility study completed last September, staff recommended against the idea and

the board passed on it. Muldoon says they have since found other ways to make the project happen.

“We ended up looking at the whole project and trimming as much fat as we could.” –Jeff Muldoon, Docking Society president “We had $20,000 in our account from putting off maintenance but needed a whole bunch more,” he explains. “We ended up looking at the whole project and trimming as much fat as we could. We also decided we needed to get as much money as possible from within ourselves.” Muldoon says they raised fees for new members as well as annual dues for existing members.

transfer station. Currently residents use the city wharf near the Prestige resort, belong to the launch club, or park at the float plane dock in an emergency. The society approached the city last year, suggesting they would find a way to pay for the dock, which might provide a bit of income for the city. “With the transfer station moving and waterfront plan coming together, we’re hoping to get in on it in the next couple of years,” Muldoon said. “That’s our next focus. We’re quite an independent group. We really like to do things for ourselves as much as we can and we’re quite proud of that.” The Grohman Creek subdivision has 36 parcels belonging to 24 property owners.

They also received a donation from Baldface Lodge, which is a society member, and regional district director Ron Mickel is providing $5,000 from his discretionary grants. The society was further approved for a $15,000 loan from the Nelson and District Credit Union to be repaid over three years, but Muldoon said it turns out they won’t need it. All but two berths in the new dock are spoken for. “A bunch of new people have been building and breathing new life in the community,” Muldoon said.

For such a small place, the town of Beaton, on the northeast arm of Upper Arrow Lake (also known as the Beaton Arm) has a curiously complicated naming history. It was first known as Thomson’s Landing after its founder, James Wilson Thomson (1851-1934). The earliest reference is in Revelstoke’s Kootenay Star of May 21, 1892. A post office application was filed in 1893 but it didn’t open until July 1, 1895, with Thomson as postmaster. On September 14 of the latter year, the Kaslo Claim stated “Major Hayward has purchased the townsite of Thompson’s [sic] Landing from Beaton and Thompson. The price agreed upon was $12,000 and the name will be changed to Selkirk.” That change never really took, although Selkirk was later applied to the townsite at the foot of Trout Lake, subsequently known as Gerrard. As demonstrated above, Thomson’s Landing was often misspelled. Milton Parent writes in Silent

Envelope from the Beaton Hotel, postmarked 1961.

Shores and Sunken Ships: “The family refers to their name as the ‘dry’ Thomson because it was spelled without a ‘p.’ Unfortunately, nearly all the maps and publications show the Thompson version, choosing to accept the more common spelling.” In April 1901, the Lardeau Eagle commented: “Once the railway reaches this point ... it will no longer be Thomson’s Landing, which is now so familiar, but Trout Lake Landing.” That name wasn’t adopted either, but Thomson’s Landing initials were apparently being confused with Trout Lake on freight bills, so on December 26 of the same year, the Eagle reported: “The name of Thomson’s Landing has been changed to Beaton, to begin with the New Year. Application has been made to the postmaster general to have the name of the post office changed accordingly. Hats off to Beaton!”

(The application wasn’t actually submitted until the following June and didn’t give any explanation for the change, which didn’t become official until August 1, 1902.) Elsewhere the same edition of the Eagle said: “Not only did Thomson’s — we mean Beaton — have an exceedingly pleasant and successful Christmas tree … but the citizens also made use of the occasion to christen their town with its new name — Beaton.” It took a while for Beaton to catch on — the Nelson Daily News was still calling it Thomson’s Landing as of 1903. Beaton’s namesake is the source of some controversy. Although it is well established that it was after local entrepreneur Malcolm Beaton (1860-1916), some sources mistakenly refer to him as the editor of the Nelson Miner. This was in fact Donald J. Beaton (1841?-1901). Their relationship, if any, is

unknown. The Beaton post office closed on October 30, 1969 but the community remains inhabited. Beaton is sometimes confused with Evansport, a nearby townsite we’ll get to later in this series. One other oddity: in their book British Columbia Place Names, G.P.V. and Helen Akrigg claimed the fledgling town of Thompson, named for founder Ross Thompson, changed its name to Rossland “because the post office department found the name Thompson caused confusion with a Thompson [sic] Landing on the Arrow Lakes.” However, this appears unlikely as there was never a post office application for Thompson and correspondence concerning Rossland’s application in 1894 didn’t mention Thompson or Thomson’s Landing. The latter had been named by then, but didn’t yet have a post office.

CENTRAL

IDENTIFYING YOUR GARDEN PREFERENCES

personal garden is only limited by the constraints of a person’s imagination. The vast array of plants and flowers available from all over the world can turn anyone’s yard into a melange of functional spaces. When designing a garden, many homeowners do not know where to begin. Much like decorating the interior of a home, how a garden landscape is executed depends on various factors. Climate and conditions The foremost consideration when planting a garden is the climate where the garden will be located. Planting items that are not conducive to growing in certain conditions can be counterintuitive and a waste of money and effort. Prospective gardeners must become familiar with the hardiness zones of their region prior to making any plans. This will help you to determine which types of plants will thrive on your landscape. Once this is determined, examination of the soil and conditions on the property is also helpful. Taking this step will help identify any plant deterrents, such as poor soil quality and pH as well as any pests that may impede plant growth. If you live in a hot, sandy location, lush tropical plants may not thrive. Therefore, even if you desire a Mediterranean look, you may have to settle for something that works better with your landscape conditions. Style of the home Landscaping designs often tie into the architectural style of a home. For example, an extensive Asianinspired garden complete with koi pond and bonsai may look odd in front of a log home. Keep architecture in mind when planning a garden so the look of the home you present is cohesive and fits with the

community and immediate vicinity. Design preferences Are you a free spirit who doesn’t conform to convention with firm boundaries? Or are you one who likes order and things in their place? Knowing what makes you tick will help you to choose a gardening style that will be easier to maintain and also make you feel comfortable. For example, prairie-style planting or wildflower gardens are dramatic ways to create natural points of color over a large area. Most plants are allowed to grow as they may. Those who like a dreamy ethereal feel to their gardens may be inspired by cottage designs, where generously filled borders overflow into a flower and foliage paradise. If you are more inclined to follow the rules and like an orderly landscape, a parterre, or formal planting bed, may be more your style. When carefully pruned, box hedging can show off symmetry and geometry in your space. Some people are more focused on the accents in their gardens than the plants themselves. Modern architecture pairs well with a contemporary style that blends minimalist accents and easy-to-maintain plants. Although you can change plants in your garden, investing in a garden that you will be happy with for a long time is a costly venture. You may want to consult a landscape architect or local nursery to find the plants and trees that fit with your design and lifestyle. These experts can also instruct you in how to maintain all of your hard work and when to expect the full impact of your new landscape to take form. Homeowners can browse ideas for gardens in magazines and online, but ultimately it will be up to their personal design preferences and the climate where their home is located to determine which garden will look and grow best.

2013 Sprinkling Regulations Here in Grand Forks, the water that is used by each and every resident comes from deep water wells — as deep as 250 feet. Like many communities in southern British Columbia, Grand Forks faces drought and water supply issues during the hot summer months and very high energy costs for pumping during high demand. Sprinkling regulations help conserve water and ensure there is enough water during the hot, dry summer. In Grand Forks, properties with “even” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “even” numbered days (ie: 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.). Those with “odd”numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “odd” numbered days (ie: 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.). • For manual users, sprinkling is permitted from 7am-9am and from 7pm-9pm. • For automated timed underground sprinklers, watering is permitted either from midnight-4am or from 7am-9am and from 7pm-9pm. • Flower gardens, vegetable gardens and newly planted lawns and landscapes may be hand watered at any time. Manual sprinklers are not permitted. • For the first month only, newly planted lawns and landscapes can be sprinkled twice a day every day from 7am-9am and 7pm-9pm using either manual or automatic underground sprinklers. Automatic systems can be used to water up to five minutes per zone at a time with total watering time not to exceed 4 hours. For more information on sprinkling regulations, visit http://www.city.grandforks.bc.ca/index.php/services/water-sewer /sprinkling-regulations/ Like many communities in southern BC, Grand Forks faces drought and water supply issues during the hot summer months. Conserving water will reduce peak demands and help reduce the cost to maintain and operate the water system. When it comes to water conservation, every little bit helps. If we all do our part, we can make a huge difference.

Did You Know? • The average Canadian uses 329 litres of water per day, although the average Canadian thinks they use 132 litres per day. • 26% of British Columbians have no idea where the water that flows out of their tap comes from. • 65% of all indoor water use occurs in the bathroom. The next highest area of use is laundry, which accounts for 20%, followed by kitchen/drinking (10%) and cleaning (5%). • Domestic water consumption can increase up to 50% in the summer months when people are watering their lawns and gardens.

Save Water in Your Home! TIP 1 Fix that leaky toilet and save hundreds of litres of water in a year. To find out if your toilet is leaking, put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. TIP 2 Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you’ll save more than 500 litres per month.

TIP 3 Invest in water savings. Energy efficient front-loading clothes washers use 35-50% less water and 30% less energy than standard washers. Use your clothes washer for only full loads. TIP 4 Upgrade older toilets with water efficient

Water – Every Drop Counts: Help Us Conserve One of Our Most Valuable Resources If your habits resemble those of an average Grand Forks resident, you use about 720 litres per day of water—that’s more than 3,000 cups of water every day. That’s also about one-third more than the average British Columbian. Have you ever wondered where all that water comes from? With May 20-26, 2013 being Drinking Water Week across BC, we’re hosting an open house at our Well #3, located on 68th Ave. just east of 27th St. We want to help you save water and use it more efficiently. Join us for a short tour, refreshments and find out where your water comes from. The open house is the first of many opportunities in the coming months for residents to learn helpful tips and practical solutions to reducing water use, and maintaining a healthy lawn and garden. Currently, the City of Grand Forks pumps water to a reservoir located in the east end of Grand Forks. The electricity costs associated with pumping, as well as wear on the pumps would be reduced if water demands could be reduced up to 25 per cent. There are a number of things you can do in the coming weeks to learn more about water conservation, including how to use less at home and still maintain a healthy lawn and garden. Get started by making a commitment to save water by taking the Drinking Water Challenge at http://www.drinkingwaterweek.org/challenge. Come see us on June 18 at 7pm at Dr. D.A. Perley Elementary for a public information session, sponsored by FortisBC, on how you can save water, energy and money all at the same time. You’ll be able to pick up a home energy saver kit — including a low-flow shower head, kitchen tap aerator and CFLs — at a reduced price. Watch your mailbox in June for a newsletter with more information and tips on how you can reduce your water consumption. Watch for more information over the next few weeks. If you’d like, you can also be added to our email distribution list to receive any updates or information. To be added to the list, simply email us at info@grandforks.ca

PUBLIC NOTICE

NOTICE OF WATER MAIN FLUSHING The Water Utility Department advises residents that we will be flushing water mains throughout the City during the months of April and May. Flushing water mains are done as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program to remove sediment that gradually deposits in the pipes and helps maintain water quality in our system. Flushing will take place between the hours of 5:00 am and 3:30 pm. As we flush your area, you may experience a temporary reduction in water pressure and/or discoloration of the water. These conditions are normal during flushing activities and are only temporary. Please check your drinking, cooking, and laundry water before using. To clear your water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap or outside hose bib and let it run until the water is clear (approx 15 min.) The City of Grand Forks regrets any inconvenience the flushing program might cause you. If you have any questions or if you experience any persistent water quality problems as a result of this maintenance program, please call City Hall, at 250-442-8266.

CITY OF GRAND FORKS

BUILDING INSPECTIONS PUBLIC NOTICE Beginning July 1, 2013 the City of Grand Forks will be offering Building Inspection services within the new Land and Development department. This includes a one stop process for future development where building permits and building inspection services are available. As of JULY 1st 2013, if you live within municipal boundaries, these services can be accessed through City Hall. The new Building Inspector for the City of Grand Forks will be Wayne Kopan. The Building Inspection Office will be located at: City Hall 7217 – 4th Street Grand Forks, B.C.

models.

TIP 5 Install water-saving aerators on all of your faucets and water-saving shower heads.

TIP 6 When washing dishes by hand, don’t let the water run while rinsing. If your dishwasher is new, cut back on rinsing altogether. Newer models clean more thoroughly than older ones. TIP 7 Collect the water you use for rinsing fruits and vegetables, then reuse it to water houseplants. TIP 8 Keep a bottle of drinking water in the fridge, as running tap water to cool it off for drinking water is wasteful.

TIP 9 When shaving, fill the sink instead of letting the water run continuously and save 10 to 20 litres of water each time. Also, turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush.

Save Water Outside and Still Have a Healthy Lawn and Garden! TIP 1 Do not over water to compensate for expected dry periods. Soil cannot store extra water.

TIP 2 Lawns and gardens require only 35 millimetres (enough to fill a tuna can) of water per week during warm weather. Less is needed during spring, fall, or cool weather.

TIP 3 Water lawns every three to five days, rather than for a short period every day. This will help grow deeper roots, making your lawn more tolerant to hot summer temperatures.

TIP 4 Raise your lawn mower blade to cut grass no lower than eight centimetres (three inches). Longer grass will shade the soil and reduce moisture loss. Long grass also helps feed the roots, reducing the need for it to quickly re-grow.

TIP 5 Choose water-efficient plants and consider xeriscaping. On days when it has rained, water your lawn less and turn off your automatic irrigation system.

TIP 6 Install a rain barrel and use the water you collect for your lawn, garden, and/or indoor plants. Collecting rainwater for watering needs uses very little energy compared to watering with treated water, which require enormous amounts of energy to clean and pump it to your tap.

Property Taxation 2013 Property tax notices and Home Owner Grant applications are being mailed out to owners of properties within City boundaries in the second half of May. Property owners are reminded that the due date for the 2013 property taxes is July 2, 2013. If a property owner does not receive their tax notice they should contact City Office by phone at 250-442-8266, by fax at 250-442-8000 or by email at info@grandforks.ca. All balances owing after close of business on July 2, 2013 will be subject to a 10% penalty as required by the Community Charter. Individual resident homeowners are eligible for a Provincial Home Owner Grant which will reduce the taxes owing on an owner occupied home but must submit a Home Owner Grant application for each taxation year regardless of whether tax payment arrangements have been made through the City, a bank or mortgage company or any other agency. Be sure to apply for your Home Owner Grant before the due date of July 2, 2013 to avoid unnecessary penalty charges. Home Owner Grant applications may be made in person at City Hall or on the City’s website. You must have the folio number of the property tax account and the access code which has been assigned to your account in order to claim the Home Owner Grant or to make a payment on line. Both these numbers appear on the property tax notice mailed to the address on record for the registered owner of the property. PLEASE ALLOW 5 BUSINESS DAYS FOR YOUR PAYMENTS TO BE PROCESSED IF PAYING BY INTERNET OR TELEPHONE BANKING. The City sends out one consolidated property tax notice on behalf of the following local governments and agencies. City of Grand Forks: Municipal works and services plus the parcel tax excluding water, sewer and garbage. This is the only amount the City retains and is accountable directly to the taxpayers of the City of Grand Forks. Regional District of Kootenay Boundary [RDKB]: Governance, planning, animal control, building inspection, economic development, waste disposal, recycling, arena, aquatic centre, library and curling rink. This is a joint service with municipalities and electoral areas of RDKB. Arena and aquatic centre is a joint service with Electoral Area D and Grand Forks. Curling Rink and Library is a joint service with Electoral Areas C, D and Grand Forks. School District: school tax assessed by the Province of BC. Partly offset by the Provincial Home Owner Grant. Any unused home owner grant is applied against the municipal tax Policing: Assessed by the Province for providing RCMP contracted police service in the City of Grand Forks, Electoral Area C and D of RDKB. Hospital: Hospital tax covers the entire West Kootenay to provide capital funding for buildings and equipment up to 40% cost sharing with the Province of BC for all hospitals and Interior Health managed facilities in the region. BC Assessment Authority: The tax is levied to provide assessment service to all local governments in the Province. Municipal Finance Authority: This tax is levied to provide all locals governments in BC financing of projects for water, sewer, roads, transit, equipment and buildings.

Property Taxation and Assessments The basic concept in taxation is: (Assessment x Tax Rate)/1000 = Property Taxes. An increase or a decrease in tax assessments does not automatically relate to an increase or decrease in Property Taxes since your tax rates will have changed. The following is an example of a Residential Property taxation change for an average homeowner in Grand Forks who is under 65 and eligible for the Provincial Home Owner Grant.

Fortis BC will process the registration and arrange the initial $60 Energy Assessments. Fortis BC will additionally confirm the residence of the applicant to be within the City limits. If the registration is for a City of Grand Forks property, the first 100 Grand Forks registrants will be charged $35 by FortisBC/Energy Assessor at the time of registration/assessment. FortisBC will provide to the City of Grand Forks, a list of the Grand Forks applicants that received the $25 subsidy.

Property assessment is done by the BC Assessment Authority and is based on the market value of all real properties in BC. Correct classification is determined for every property. Legislation is reviewed to determine if the property is fully or partially exempt from taxation. Once the assessment is complete, a Revised Assessment Roll is provided to the City. Based on the information provided on the Assessment Roll and the revenue required to be raised from property taxation for services, a tax rate is determined for each class of property. The taxing authority in Grand Forks is the City of Grand Forks. The City also collects taxes on behalf of the School District, Hospital Districts, Regional district, Municipal Finance Authority, BC Assessment Authority.

Survey aims to help Trail theatre grow Trail briefs

Trail likes country music, comedy and children’s programming, according to feedback from a survey in circulation that looks at the future of the Charles Bailey Theatre. Theatre fronthouse manager Nadine Tremblay is collecting information from residents, patrons, business owners and the public before moving forward with a business plan for the 764-seat facility.

“The theatre is totally fine, in principle, it’s a business that’s up and running.” –Nadine Tremblay

The plan will recommend how the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) can efficiently run its theatre, with an ultimate goal of increasing the number of acts and patrons. “The theatre is totally fine, in principle it’s a business that’s up and running,” said Tremblay. “But even just going to Nelson, a community really close by, they use their theatre six days a week almost all year so right there I think, ‘Why aren’t we doing that? Why are we only open four times a

month?’ Though the survey was just released Thursday, Tremblay said over 100 have been filled out. The questionnaire that collects information from recipients as well as ideas, can be found online at the Trail and District Arts Council website (www. trail-arts.com) or at the theatre box office (Monday through Friday from noon-4 p.m.). Volunteers are also

handing the survey out, with initial efforts done at Ferraro Foods this past weekend and another round at Waneta Plaza this Saturday. This is in addition to a community consultation scheduled for the end of the month. Accident victim identified The BC Coroners Service has released the name of the driver of the truck which crashed shortly after noon May 3 after los-

ing control at the bottom of the Rossland hill in Warfield. The coroner reports that the driver and sole occupant of the truck was 52 year old Frederick Wilkinson, of Cornwall, Ontario. The Coroners Service and RCMP have concluded that the fully-loaded commercial semi-trailer unit suffered a mechanical failure when it lost its brakes while descending Highway 3B between Rossland

Tax Efficient Investing achievable with Corporate Class Debbie Perepolkin Submitted

With tax season officially over, many people are gleefully doing the “happy dance” after receiving their income tax refund while others are simply perplexed after writing their big “I owe you” cheque to Canada Revenue Agency. Although many people turn to their accountants and tax preparers for timely advice, there are tremendous benefits to consulting a wealth planner who can work through some tax minimization strategies as well. I heard a story recently about an accountant who kept telling his client his investment advisor was not doing a good

job. Year after year, the client reported very little capital gains, dividends and interest distributions compared to other wealthier clients. The accountant concluded that without these large reportable distributions, it seemed obvious that the investments were performing poorly. The reality was very much the opposite. It is interesting to note that some accountants and tax preparers are not too familiar with “corporate class investments” – but, the benefits and the tax-efficiency are huge. Canadian investors today are looking for performance returns, but in the end what really matters is their “after-tax return” or

what they can actually put in their pocket. Tax-efficient investing allows investors to take on less risk to generate desired returns and incorporate flexibility into their wealth plans. Corporate class is an investment structure that offers tax efficiency all Canadian investors should consider for their non-registered accounts. What is corporate class? A pool is set up as a corporation, which is typically a family of investment pools held within one corporate structure. Within this corporate “umbrella,” the various pools provide a wide array of investments such as equities and fixed income. These are diversified globally and in various indus-

try sectors using first class portfolio managers and different investment styles. Key benefits of corporate class: The primary benefit of this structure is the ability to buy and sell within your investment pools to rebalance your portfolio without tax consequences. A taxable event ONLY occurs when you actually request cash withdrawal from this corporate structure. Another advantage of corporate class is that the corporate structure is designed to minimize those income distributions by spreading those gains and losses amongst the investment pools held within the corporate structure itself. As well, any annual distributions from the

When to consider corporate class? There are a number of situations in which corporate class can provide tax efficiency to your overall wealth planning, especially for: - Those who have maximized their RRSP contributions or have limited RRSP room available. - Those who are collecting Old Age Security benefits and want to avoid those nasty claw backs.

- Income investors looking for a tax-efficient source of cash flow. - Those who plan to make charitable donations with their investments. Incorporated business owners. - Parents and grandparents who set up in-trust accounts for minor children.

If you are looking for a way to reduce the impact of tax on your non-registered investments, seriously consider getting more information on this type of investing. With a little bit of tweaking, next year you could be doing the happy dance too – and, potentially avoid writing that cheque to CRA.

investment pools can only be paid as capital gains or Canadian dividends – both of which enjoy preferential tax treatment. How the math works: Simply put, here’s an example of how corporate class works. If an investor desires a five per cent rate of return over 10 years, the tax efficiency of the corporate class structure means the investor would experience minimal “tax leakage,” allowing for that five per cent growth to further compound over that time period. This is because the corporate class structure is built to minimize or eliminate distribution of taxable income. Whereas, if the same investment was made using a mutual fund trust or

The month of May is the time for birth and regrowth, which is apparent in all of the living things we encounter, especially when those things come in the form of new litters of kittens, puppies and other domestic pet animals. This month, the Trail Regional BCSPCA would love to express the importance of kindness to animals. Not just adults, but children alike. The lesson to your children about the benefits of being kind and loving to animals they encounter is an extremely important lesson that they will learn. As the knowledge of animal behavior becomes more mainstream in our day to day, teaching your kids the right way to be with animals is something that they will use for the rest of their lives, and in turn they will teach their children. The pets that we add to our families are more understood today then in recent times. Helping your children to understand that their pets are individuals just like them and require a certain amount of space and patience is very important. When the kids understand that not all kittens and puppies want to be overly petted or cuddled, we can show them more positive interactions with animals with less chances of a bad or harmful occurrence. Learning to be kind to their pets will also strengthen the child’s ability to have sympathy and empathy to their human counterparts, and teach them that kindness is always the best way to be with anyone they meet. We here at the Trail Regional BCSPCA feel that if we can teach the many kids in our community the importance of being kind to animals, that they will grow up to be more loving people. Perhaps teaching these children the lesson that animals need us to be their voice will make the animals we work with happier and more trusting of the humans they meet. A great way to get your kids involved and to learn more patience and kindness to all animals, may be a chance to come and see the animals with you at your nearby shelter. The animals living there always love to meet new people and are in need of a kind touch and word. Sometimes the animals that come into shelters have had rough lives and haven’t had too much experience with young children. This is an awesome time to show your kids how animals have their own thoughts and feelings, and that they can feel the same things that the kids do....fear, sadness, and joy amongst other things. Once your kids know this, tell them to go slow and to earn the trust of the animals they meet. It will be a great thing to happen for both your child and the animal.

Horoscope Michael O’Connor

for the

Week

May 31, 2013

Tip of the Week: The last quarter moon phase begins today. This marks the conclusion of the recent ‘eclipse season’. The two lunar and one solar eclipse have sown the seeds of significant change for many. These changes have already been activated, yet are still in their germination phase. The sprouts of these events will become increasingly evident over the coming weeks. Regarding events like eclipses and their implications, they are best understood as features of a larger dynamic and are hardly arbitrary events. Yet, due to our existing though declining global materialistic paradigm, it is tempting to assume that the causes of these changes are external. Life is not as simple or materialistic as that. There is a deeper rhyme and reason, time and season to things. The shape, design and beauty of nature and its rhythmic flow are testimony to a higher intelligence woven into the very fabric of existence. If everything comes from nothing, as the purely materialistic model of life asserts, then that nothing, or ‘no-thing’ must be quite something. Yes, there are deeper forces, reasons, plans and timing at play. This is very much what Astrology is about – deciphering what these are and how we can and are challenged to respond. This implies conscious co-creation where fate and freewill are not seen in a polarized black and white fashion, but are seen as two key factors that are meant to work together in cooperative unison and harmony. This is especially true of sentient beings that possess freewill. This individual and collective challenge of freewill is that we can choose to defy nature and attempt to assert absolute control over it. This should sound familiar because it is what humanity has and continues to attempt to do for the past few centuries, yet the tide is changing. This deep change in attitude and perception is the deeper meaning of the recent eclipse season now in its closing phase.

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)

LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21)

SCORPIO (OCT 22 – NOV 21)

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN 21)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 – DEC 21)

CANCER (JUN 21 – JUL 22)

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 19)

LEO (JUL 22 – AUG 23)

AQUARIUS (JAN 19 – FEB 19)

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 22)

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)

A busy time continues. Fortunately, there is reason to say you energy levels are rising to meet the challenge. This trend will continue too. In the face of deeper changes at play you probably want all the extra boosts you can get. Whether they are interpreted as positive or negative, or a mix of both, your whole world has and continues to undergo powerful transformations.

A new mode of self-expression is beginning to show its quality. It is challenging you to diversify. At best this could result in new streams of income or return. At worst, you could feel scattered and a bit overwhelmed. Yet, yours is the sign of multiple streams of income. You are basically meant to work this way. Go for it!

Dreams of a whole new foundation of security are on your mind. You feel the need to communicate these with others. The tenor in your expression is dramatic and charged, on one hand, and surrendered, on the other. You know it is all a game, well at least half of you does. The other may take it all too literally and seriously. Make your health a higher priority.

The changes that were seeded a few weeks ago activated you to make some key adjustments and improvements. These are linked to money, investments and your fiscal future. There is reason to say you are feeling better about things. Yet, your faith has been tested. It is not all over yet. The stakes will get even higher before you know the final score.

Your world is changing quickly now. As far as you are concerned it is all for the better. But you have to work it. The focus remains on making key contacts for the sake of future interests. Your confidence levels may be wavering, however. They key is to acknowledge lingering fears and face them. As you do so your courage levels will rise.

Desires for more culture, relationship interaction and overall quality have activated your perspectives. These continue to have a direct impact on your career and social life. Yet to succeed you may feel the need to acquire new tools and training. This trend will continue over the next several weeks. Get focused and organized to make a big push forward.

G A M E S

Your focus has shifted to see a bigger picture of your life. Yet you are also keen to pay attention to the details. Now you are ready to take action. The week will see you taking new initiatives and you will be in high gear. Yet, due to the specifics of your strategy it remains important that you reveal only what you want others to see. Life is a game; hold your cards close.

Contending with the challenge of making important choices amid a variety of options is extra strong now. Opportunity is knocking and at more than one door. This is activating your ambitions and determination. How can you have it all? That may not be possible but at least gaining access to a few of these opportunities is on your mind.

The mover and shaker in you is being activated once again! Some of your efforts are directed to activity behind the scenes. You want to clarify your own dreams and visions, decipher those of significant others in your life and aim to merge them. The spirit of mutuality, cooperation and harmony is the key to your success, especially now.

You have come to an important juncture on your path. Call it a steep incline that requires that you give more and make extra effort. Your will, determination and ability to be flexible are extra important as well. This includes a fine mixture of having faith that destiny is at play and taking key risks. Yet, beware of temptations to force situations. Allow the mountain to carry you.

A creative and playful mood is on the rise. To enjoy it you may have to take certain key pioneering initiatives. This includes risk and a willingness to experiment. Fortunately, your energy and enthusiasm levels are rising. It remains important that you tunein to what you feel as well as to what you think. Balance disciplined perseverance with fun and play.

The foundations of new thoughts and perceptions are getting stronger now. Looking back a month or two, you will notice some definite shifts. New ideas, plans and strategies require your focus. These are directed towards your public and professional life and/ or your overall status quo. An extended cycle of creativity is rolling in, tune-in to capitalize.
