SURFING FOR CANADA: Tofino’s Peter Devries high fives his teammates after round one of the ISA World Surfing Games in Tahara, Japan last week. Devries, an eight-time men’s national surf champion, smashed his way through the international competitive field, only narrowly missing the open men’s main final in the last seconds of his round five heat. Young talent Mathea Olin, the first Canadian to win an international gold medal in longboarding, made it all the way to round four in the open women’s.

Kids rock Surf Classic NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Cox Bay gifted fun waves and plenty of sunshine for the fifth annual Bruhwiler Kids Surf Classic this weekend. 120 participants entered the free surf event, which involved suiting up for non-competitive ‘expression sessions’ and competitive age divisions. Gisele Bruhwiler, matriarch of the Bruhwiler surfing family and grandmother to 10 Bruhwilers, said she was grateful to see so many kids connecting with the sport. “Surfing is a gift of this place,” she said. “[My kids] were blessed enough to live on the beach and go in this water every day. And, I wish this to every kid that lives in Tofino. They should all go in the ocean. That is something they should make use of as much as they can. I think it’s a great sport that helps kids to challenge themselves.” Bruhwiler said she had five grandkids surfing in the contest: Blake, Charlie, Dusty, Shea, and Aqua. All the moms and dads, she notes, helped organize and run the event. Ucluelet’s Rayne Sked, 9, made the under-10 girls final for the first-time. She said she has been practicing at Wickanninish Beach a lot on her 6’6” Softtech surfboard. “I’m super proud of her,” said dad Jay Eskayeedee. For Tofino’s Gabe Celebrini, 7, the Bruhwiler Classic was an inaugural step into the world of competition surfing. “I surfed so much this summer that I decided to enter,” said Celebrini. Member of the host family and professional

surfer Kalum Temple Bruhwiler, 18, participated in the event as a judge this year, rather than a surfer. “It’s more fun for me to watch the younger crew compete amongst themselves. In the past, we’ve never really had a juniors contest. This contest brings a wider competitor base to [surfing],” said Kalum, whose own focus is set on competing for Canada in the men’s world surf league qualifying series. “For a lot of them, this is their first time in a competition,” Kalum went on to say. “That’s more the reason for the [Bruhwiler] contest. It’s to introduce kids into the contest vibe and hopefully get them stoked on competitive surfing.” As part of the Bruhwiler Surf Classic, Surfrider Pacific Rim hosted an ocean-friendly contest for the best youth environmental steward award. Judging criteria included picking up three pieces of beach litter, guessing the amount of cigarette butts in a giant tub, and writing a message to the sea. The 2018 environmental steward winners Iris Sylvester, Yemaya Windle, and Kayla Stoski received a prize bag and will get to go visit the Cedar Coast Field Station on Vargas for a day of exploration with Surfrider core crew. The Bruhwiler Kids Surf Classic is a volunteer driven event that takes place every September. Registration is free and surfboards and wetsuits are provided for kids that don’t have their own. “You don’t need to be rich to learn and become a great surfer,” notes Bruhwiler. “You just need to provide to your kids the tools, and watch them do their stuff from the beach if you don’t surf.”

Daytime highway closures and eight-hour power outage loom ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Daytime highway closures and an eight-hour power outage are coming to the West Coast this month. A two-year, $38 million, Kennedy Hill Safety Improvements Project to upgrade a 1.5 kilometre stretch of Highway 4 has brought weeknight highway closures from 10 p.m. to midnight, 1-4 a.m. and 5- 7 a.m and will soon include daytime closures as well. From Sept 18-22 and Sept. 25 to Oct. 4, the highway will be closed in both directions from noon to 1 p.m. and 4-5 p.m., along with the regular nighttime closures.

Those two daytime closures will continue on a roughly 10-day-on four-day-off schedule during the project’s “off-peak season schedule” from October to June, according to a Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure spokesperson who added that the work is weather dependent, so the schedule is subject to change and commuters can find updates at www.drivebc.ca or a traffic hotline at 1-855-451-7152. There will be an extra closure on Sept. 30 from 2-3 p.m. as BC Hydro moves several of its poles to fit the road’s new alignment and Hydro has announced a peninsula-wide power outage will occur from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 30. “We know that there’s never a

good time for an outage and thank the community for their patience while we complete this work related to the highway project,” Hydro spokesperson Karla Louwers told the Westerly News on Monday. Louwers said Hydro is asking all West Coasters to turn off all their electronic devices and appliances to allow the power system to ease back into service once the outage is complete. “It’s like starting a car when it’s cold. It just doesn’t have the same juice,” she said. “The power will have been out for eight hours and it will be a cold start so, if it’s got to start with a really high load, it’s likely that it will take us longer to restore power.”

The ministry acknowledged recent concerns raised after photos and videos of water pouring off the road’s adjacent cliff-face and onto the highway during a heavy rainfall filled local social media feeds on Sept. 8, but said the site is being monitored closely. “Specifically, crews are implementing mitigation measures to control water runoff,” the spokesperson said. “The work includes making sure existing storm drains are clear, adding temporary spillways, and adding ditch blocks and silt fencing around the site to direct drainage and filter out sediments.” The project’s $38 million bill is being paid for by the provincial and federal governments.

Mayco Noel joins mayoral race ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Ucluelet’s municipal council is in store for a significant shakeup this October. Mayor Dianne St. Jacques is stepping away from municipal politics, councillors Randy Oliwa and Mayco Noel are both running for mayor and Coun. Sally Mole has put her name forward for School District 70’s West Coast representative position. That leaves Mayco Noel Coun. Marilyn McEwen as the only incumbent on the ballot in Ucluelet’s Oct. 20 municipal election. Noel was the last mayoral candidate to add his name to the mayor’s race, which includes Oliwa, former mayor Bill Irving and the district’s Harbour Master Kevin Cortes.

You’ll find the Westerly News every Wednesday at the following locations:

“I want to make sure Ucluelet’s history is respected, while continuing to move projects forward to secure our future.” – Mayco Noel “My primary goal is to maintain the momentum on the important projects our current Council has begun with our community. I want to make sure Ucluelet’s history is respected, while continuing to move projects forward to secure our future,” Noel wrote in an announcement released Monday afternoon. Noel is coming off his first term on council and the born and raised Ucluetian pointed to his parents, who moved to Ucluelet from Quebec in the 1960’s, as key motivators behind his community passion. “My father started in forestry, but always had a passion for small business. After a decade in Ucluelet my parents purchased and expanded the West Coast Motel to what it is today,”

he wrote. “Over the next thirty years, their love for Ucluelet, hard work, tenacity and the ability to persevere with limited resources awarded them the opportunities to grow businesses in multiple sectors throughout our community.” He added that engaging with the community would be a key focus of his government if elected. “The mayor is the leading voice for Ucluelet; my goals are to maintain an open and respectful dialog with the community and staff. I will take the time to listen to opinions, have a healthy debate, remain attentive to transparent communication and engage with the citizens,” he wrote. “No matter where my life has taken me, Ucluelet has always drawn me back, this is our community, this is my home. We must secure the foundations for the future and maintain the positive momentum we have built.” Sally Mole is running against Sandra Leslie and incumbent Gurmail Aujla in the race for School District 70’s West Coast seat.

decision to leave Ucluelet’s council was difficult, but she felt a calling to return to the school board where she served two terms in the early 2000’s. “I really enjoyed it and it’s something that I’m really passionate about. Children, youth and education; it’s got me written all over it so it’s definitely a calling,” she said. “It was not an easy decision at all. I have enjoyed my time on council, but I did feel a calling to the school trustee position and I’m not silly enough to think that I could do both…Thanks to everyone for their support of me as a councillor. It’s been a great privilege to be serving the community.” She added that it’s “awesome” to see such a large list of candidates running for Ucluelet’s council this year. “We are seeing a population that is engaged [and] that wants to be a participant in the process,” she said. “People have felt the need, I think, to step up to the plate, get involved and be part of driving the community.”

B.C. VIEWS

‘Not photo radar’ coming to high-crash areas

On my way up to Whistler for the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention last week, I passed a tow truck heading down to Vancouver. It was carrying what looked like an orange Lamborghini Aventador with bad front-end damage. This is one of your rich-kid supercars, worth somewhere in the high six figures if you have to ask. You may have heard about the 22-year-old Ferrari driver clocked at 210 km/h on the Lion’s Gate Bridge last year, or the kid who had his McLaren sports car impounded for a week, ’N’ sticker and all, after screaming through a B.C. school zone this past April. At the annual gathering of provincial and local politicians, Lions Bay Mayor Karl Buhr got strong support for a motion calling for “point to point”speed enforcement cameras on the Sea to Sky Highway, as well as the Coquihalla and the Malahat Drive on

Vancouver Island. Buhr said the Sea Farnworth growls through clenched to Sky sees three times the fatalities teeth if you use the term that became and twice the property damage of notorious during the last B.C. NDP government. the average B.C. highway, despite the Last time I checked, the ministry costly rebuild that preceded the 2010 was crunching data to decide what Olympics. He has been pleading for more speed enforcement for years. At the threshold for an intersection the convention, he met with Public speeding ticket should be. I was told that even at 30 km/h over the limit, Safety Minister Mike Farnworth, describing him as “quite receptive” there would be plenty of B.C. drivers Tom Fletcher to the idea of this pilot project to deter getting a nasty surprise in the mail. If the worst kind of speeding. it’s “excessive speeding,”more than 40 I don’t doubt that he is. Farnworth is about to km/h over the limit, the fine is $368 plus three demerit activate the 140 intersection cameras around the points. Automated speed cameras snap your licence province to issue speeding tickets, in addition to their plate as you enter a high-risk section of highway, snap original purpose, mailing out pictures and fines for it again as you leave, and calculate your average speed. those who run red lights. “It’s not photo radar!” If it’s above the threshold, a ticket is automatically

mailed to the registered owner with time-stamped images, evidence that can’t be argued away. Opponents point out that the problem with pointto-point is the same as the notorious photo radar vans that used to lurk along roadsides. It penalizes the vehicle owner, who may not have been driving. I was not a fan of the old photo radar. The one ticket I got was on a deserted back road, on a Sunday afternoon, and I was 15 km/h over the limit. A nice revenue stream for the province, and a waste of police resources. This is different, and I’m persuaded to agree with it. Once you get past the partisan grandstanding of Attorney General David Eby, you see that the red ink at ICBC is due to two things: lawyers exploiting minor injuries, and a soaring accident rate on B.C. roads despite vehicles and highways that get safer every year.

Fish for the Future tournament in Tofino Derby supports salmon restoration efforts ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Willie Mitchell is ready to reel in his second annual Fish for the Future tournament in Tofino this weekend. The uniquely West Coast fishing derby casts a wide net of support over local efforts to restore damaged watersheds and replenish dwindling salmon stocks. “We’re really excited to get year number two under our belt,” Mitchell told the Westerly News. “We’re looking forward to building on year one. It was a really successful event… Everyone has really been so supportive of this event and we’re really excited about it in the sense of what it has done.” The former NHL star and owner of Tofino Resort and Marina launched the tournament last year in an effort to celebrate Tofino’s abundant fishing experiences while raising money to ensure those experiences can be enjoyed by future generations. The family-friendly tournament raised over $20,000 in its inaugural showing and Mitchell hopes to score a heftier total at this year’s event, which will run from Sept 21-23. Fish for the Future is hosted by Tofino Resort and Marina in partnership with the Tla-oqui-aht First Nation and every dollar raised is invested back into the watershed, with 80 per cent of the proceeds going to the Tofino

WESTERLY FILE PHOTO

Willie Mitchell, pictured here signing a young fan’s Canucks jersey outside Tofino Resort and Marina, is excited to help boost local salmon restoration efforts with funding reeled in at this weekend’s Fish for the Future derby. Hatchery and 20 per cent going to the Clayoquot Salmon Roundtable. “It’s a collective group of like minded people who are trying to give back to the watershed and basically figure out the challenges and enhance the watershed,” Mitchell said. “They’re all important organizations, that is for sure, and we’re happy to support those and

grow the event at a bigger and better level and hopefully make a mean little impact.” Fish for the Future is a catch and release tournament where fishers may keep and harvest their catch if they choose to, but only fish that are released are eligible for prizes. “What we’re trying to do is limit killing fishing for the sake of entering the fish,” Mitchell

said. “That’s not the essence of what this event is about.” Mitchell said he grew up fishing on Vancouver Island’s northeast coast and has always felt a strong connection to the ocean. “The ocean for me is such a therapeutic place for me and a place to disconnect,” he said. “I want to be able to give that gift to the next generation, not just extract from the resource, and hopefully leave it in the same place or a better place than when I was using it.” He added that local support for salmon enhancement efforts are vital because the species is a keystone to the Coast and the groups working to enhance Clayoquot Sound’s watersheds have faced a tough slog trying to find government funding. “Everyone’s dollar is certainly important,” he said. “It’s not just about fisherman, it’s about whale watching tour companies and kayak companies that are here. If we don’t have salmon in this watershed, we don’t have all the beautiful things we call it home for.” As part of the event, a dinner and silent auction will be held at Tofino Resort and Marina from 6:30-8:30 p.m., which will include a presentation from the Tofino Hatchery as well as a screening of a short film that highlights the challenges salmon are facing and the, largely volunteer, efforts being made to overcome them. “We hope to not just show this piece for the audience, but to use this piece to put some pressure on the powers that be to get some more funding,” he said. “There is only so much money we can do locally, we need bigger organizations and the government to support.”

Tofino pickleball club welcomes new players

Free drop-in activity runs three days a week and all the needed equipment is provided NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Tofino has a pickleball club, and they’re no fickle flock. The baby boomer crew meet three times a week, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., for good exercise, loads of laughs, and simply because they all just really love to play the game that was supposedly named after an American’s pet dog ‘Pickles’. If it’s nice out, you’ll find them on the Village Green tennis courts. If it’s rainy, they’ll be in the Tofino Community Hall. Most recently, two star players of the group, Daniel Audet and Gurmail Aujla, won gold for 3.5 Mens Doubles in the Nanaimo Indoor Open Pickleball tournament back in June. “Usually 4.5 and 5.0 are your top levels. We

“It’s like playing ping pong, but you get to stand on the table.” – Steve Thicke decided to go one level lower than what we are because Dan was coming off his second knee replacement in two years,” said Aujla. “First we played six teams in a round-robin. We lost one game and came in second. Then after that they set us into a knock out play. We played four games and won all of them. The last one we were behind 9-7 and we came back.” A pickleball game is played to 11 points and a win must be by two points. The relatively new sport is much like tennis, but with a few modifications: the court is

much smaller and players use solid racquets to smash featherweight wiffle balls. “It’s like playing ping pong, but you get to stand on the table,” describes Steve Thicke, an avid Tofino pickleball player of about four years. “People can learn it really easily. The learning curve is not steep.” Retired local Phyllis Banks has been enjoying the easy-going sport with her husband Doug ever since it started up in the town. “It’s a great bunch of people we play with. And, we get tourists that come here and bring their bats and come and play,” said Banks, adding that she likes to play in Courtenay when she visits her friend. With good humour, Judy Michaud calls herself an “international pickleball player,” having played in Arizona and Hawaii.

“You’re always welcome in other cities to play. I’ll go visit my daughter in Campbell River and bring my racquet,” she said. Leah Morgan joined the club a couple years ago after seeing how much fun her friends were having. “It drew me in,” said Morgan. “It took me a couple times to actually play. I’d come to the court but I wouldn’t play because I was too shy. But, they made it easy to come in.” While the majority of people that play pickleball are in their 50s and 60s, Gurmail notes that pickleball is the fastest growing sport in North America. “I think this is a game that’s meant for everyone. More and more we’re starting to see young people play,” he said. “Come out and try it. It’s a fun game and you really meet a lot of nice people.”

Frozen fish sticks for China According to information amassed by the Ucluelet Chamber of Commerce from the 2016 Canadian Census, manufacturing is the community’s second largest employer, providing 180 jobs. About 85 per cent of those are in fish processing. The “seafood preparation and packaging” industry within the manufacturing sector is about 100 times as concentrated locally, while fishing jobs are 37 times the B.C. average, notes Chamber of Commerce report. UHS processes roughly 500,000 pounds of hake per day. At the plant, the hake is machine head-

UHS processes roughly 500,000 pounds of hake per day and, according to management, could process more if they had the labourers. ed, gutted, and tailed. It is then frozen and packaged into either 10-20 kilogram blocks or Individually Quick Frozen. The majority of the product is then trucked or barged to Vancouver for shipment to foreign markets. China has emerged as the dominant export market, according to the Offshore Pacific Hake in Canada Economic Impacts report compiled for the Canadian Groundfish Research and Conservation Society in June 2018. China reprocesses the blocks into fillets. Eastern Europe and South Africa join China as important markets for the export of Pacific Hake from Canada, according to the BC Ministry of Agriculture. The Ucluelet site owns four company boats and contracts seven private vessels, employing about 35 full-time fishers including the skippers. They have two processing facilities in Ucluelet: UHS, which employs between 65-70 people per shift, and the Barkley Plant, which staffs an additional 45 to 50 when it’s running. Factory workers on the night shift are projected to process 90,000 tonnes of finished product per shift while day shift staff aims for 125,000 tonnes of finished product. In 2016, UHS was awarded the Diamond Award from Oregon-based Pacific as its best-performing division. Pacific Seafood operates more than 38 processing and distribution facilities from Alaska to Texas.

more than 90 minutes by bus. For day shift workers like Kyuquot First Nations Joe Jules, that means leaving Port around 6 a.m. and departing Ucluelet at 8 p.m. “It’s quite a journey,” said Jules who has been with UHS for more than a decade. “It’s like a three-hour commute. It makes for a long day, but you get used to it after a while.” Fellow Port Alberni resident and UHS staffer Alison Mcgee agreed. “It makes for a long day, but a lot of people in Ontario do it,” she notes. Before signing on with UHS to help with administration and scheduling, Mcgee said she used to drive herself to Parksville for work. “I was spending $400 on gas and parking. Now, you don’t have to have a vehicle to work here. You don’t have to drive. You don’t have to have gas money squirreled away,” said Mcgee. The Port Bus is one incentive to recruiting employees, points out Ucluelet team member manager Sam Sattar, while pointing out how the bus costs quite a bit of money to operate. It’s a necessary investment though to a lack of Ucluelet-based workers. The reason is simple: the town’s affordable housing crisis means they have no place to live. “There used to be a pretty steady supply of staff that lived in Ucluelet. But then when the US dollar strengthened as it did, Ucluelet became a target for US ownership, for summer housing and sport fishing. Who doesn’t want to No home by the sea Despite the plant’s Pacific Rim spend some time here and paddle location, the majority of its work- in a kayak or go walk the trails? It force comes from Port Alberni, just took the price of housing in

Ucluelet and put it out of reach for most people,” Dawson said. According to Sattar building its own staff accommodations will be a number one win. UHS is in the process of applying to the District for a temporary use permit to build low-cost, temporary housing on a piece of land they own close to the Ucluelet factory. “It’s going to solve a lot of our employee issues,” he said. “Our thoughts are maybe put some ATCO trailers, but we have to work with the [District] and probably make them a little more West Coast,” said Dawson, adding that he is in the process of hiring an engineer to flesh out their application to municipality. The problem isn’t limited to fish processing. Many employers in the area linked housing shortages (among numerous other root causes) to attraction and retention issues, reports Joey Rotenberg, a local facilitator with the Ucluelet Business and Employment Retention and Expansion (UBERE) program. Since the initiative launched in Jan., 82 businesses have participated in interviews. Preliminary data shows that 46 per cent of employers report attraction issues, 56 per cent of employers report retention issues, and 46 per cent of employers noted that attracting qualified employees is a barrier to the growth or successful operation of their company. “Some employers provide staff housing and others sidestep the issue by marketing jobs to jobseekers that have secured local housing,” Rotenberg said in an email.

Ucluelet remembers and honours Terry Fox ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Heavy rainfall pelted down on Ucluelet Sunday morning, but that didn’t stop residents and visitors from running and walking through town to honour a man who inspired hope 38 years ago. Many Canadians still remember watching Terry Fox’s ‘Marathon of Hope’ in 1980. Three years prior, Fox had been diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma and his right leg was amputated above the knee. While receiving treatment, Fox decided to do something big to raise awareness and money for cancer research and began planning a cross-country run, which he dubbed the ‘Marathon of Hope,’ and launched in April, 1980. He ran approximately 5,373 kilometres in 143 days from Newfoundland to near Thunder Bay Ontario before cancer was discovered in his lungs and he was forced to end the marathon. He died the following year. Since 1981, Canadian communities have hosted local Terry Fox Runs to honour Fox’s memory. “Terry Fox is a Canadian hero. We never should forget that,” Maureen Callaway told the Westerly News at the start of Ucluelet’s event on Sunday.

Ucluetians cheered as they embarked on a rainy Terry Fox Run from the Ucluelet Community Centre on Sunday morning. Callaway, whose mother was fighting breast cancer when Fox began his marathon and whose daughter has battled cancer in her leg and thyroid, was participating in her 25th Terry Fox Run. “I’m doing the walk for three people very close to me. My mother, my daughter and my friend Eileen Mooney,” she said. “Eileen and I did the walk for 23 years together and, two years ago, she unfortunately lost

her battle with cancer.” Callaway said the Terry Fox Run is important to keep awareness high. “It keeps the public awareness up of the effort and the sacrifice that he made for cancer research and to keep people aware that we need to keep fighting,” she said. “He gave such a personal sacrifice and put his own life on the line to further research and help other people. Even though he lost his battle, I think it’s important

We’ll get out in the rain and be part of something historical throughout Canada,” he said. “[Terry Fox] was a very down to earth hero that we could, perhaps, emulate through his integrity and his strength.” Ucluelet’s Director of Parks and Recreation Abby Fortune said she has been participating in the Terry Fox Run since its inception in 1981. “Terry Fox is one of the great Canadian icons,” she said. “He was very much someone who felt the importance of his dream and his cause and he felt that cancer was something that could be beaten.” Ucluelet’s Terry Fox Run is hosted in a partnership between the district and Kat and Jay Rosene of Endless Fitness. “We have somebody that’s really dear to our family that has cancer and it’s really important that we show our support and do what we can to fight cancer,” said Jay. “The Terry Fox run is very inspiring for everyone and there should be many people that come out and show their support even on a rainy day.” Kat added that the annual event brings the community together. “It’s community and health and awareness for a cause that, I think, touches a lot of peoples lives,” she said. “I like being a part of it because it’s a great thing for the community.”

Municipalities unite against plastics UBCM resolution supports MP Gord Johns bill M-151 KATYA SLEPIAN Black Press

B.C. cities voted to nix single-use plastic items and to endorse a national strategy to keep plastics out of ocean waters. On Friday morning, delegates voted to endorse a Vancouver motion to expand their anti-single use plastic items policy province-wide. Coun. Adriane Carr told delegates about the costs, waste and environmental impact of throwing out plastics. Carr said that in Vancouver alone, “every week in Vancouver, seven million plastic straws are thrown away, 2.6 million plastic lined paper cups and two million plastic cups” are thrown away.

“The cost of dealing with just the removal of just this kind of waste from the garbage cans on our streets has been estimated at $2.5 million a year,” said Carr. The impacts of single-use plastic items are becoming more clear, Carr said. “In the oceans they’re talking about… 4.8-12.7 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans,” she said. In a late add-on resolution on Friday morning, Port Alberni Coun. Chris Alemany went a step further. Alemany asked delegates to endorse a national strategy to keep plastics out of Canada’s oceans. The bill, called M-151, was introduced by Courtenay-Alberni MP

Gord Johns and will be voted on in Ottawa this fall. “The plastics that end up in our waterways are a global environmental challenge,” Alemany said Friday. “More and more animals are washing up on our shores with their stomachs filled with plastic waste. It’s shameful.” The resolution was endorsed, despite concerns from some delegates that the late nature of the motion did not allow them to study up on the contents on Johns’ bill.

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, things that may have confounded you in the past will be much clearer this week. Someone comes into your life and will explain what you need to know. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Conversations with friends the next few days prove to be a great mood-lifter, Taurus. Things in your life will continue in a positive direction for some time afterwards. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though work life and home life are separate, there are some instances when they might overlap. Use this time wisely to build deep relationships. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You have a trustworthy circle of friends, Cancer. If the going gets a little tricky this week, call upon the people who just can’t wait to support you. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Let supervisors know just how much you have been contributing at work and how it has been beneficial to their bottom line. This can be the doorway to a pay increase, Leo. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, do not feel like you have to change much about yourself to fit the mold others have created. It is okay to be unique and be proud of your differences.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 You are naturally trusting of others, Libra. But keep a small amount of skepticism going so that no one takes advantage of you. Once you vet friends, keep them close. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Spending too much time worrying about what others are doing or what they think of you is not productive, Scorpio. Focus on what makes you happy and don’t worry about others. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You may have taken on too much, Sagittarius, and now you think you can’t get it all accomplished. It may take a few long nights, but your initial goal is still attainable. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It is okay to seek perfection, Capricorn, but not when others are helping out. Be grateful of all they have to offer, even if you may need to fix something along the way. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you must follow through when you say you are going to do something this week. If not, others may associate you with empty promises, and that reputation is not easily remedied. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 This is a good weekend for kicking back and relaxing, Pisces. If you feel like hosting, open your home to some guests for even more fun.
