t’s a long way from the lush rainforests of British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast to the dry scrub-
lands of South Sudan. But Chris Hergesheimer (aka the Flour Peddler) is determined to keep a promise he made to a friend – a friend who now lives nearly 15,000 kilometers away.
And he’s counting on pedal power to make it happen. In December, Chris Hergesheimer and his brother Josh will travel from Roberts Creek to the northernmost reaches of
South Sudan, where their friend William Kolong, chief of Panlang village, will be waiting with open arms. The three of them will construct a bicycle-mill that can be used by anyone from

Hergesheimer’s bike-mill is an old exercise machine that’s been rigged up to a cast iron mill. The pedals turn a belt that turns a flywheel, which turns the burrs, and voila; freshlyground flour. A simple design, Hergesheimer says, but a powerful one. “I started the Flour Peddler to offer people the experience of buying freshly-milled flour from grains grown in BC,” Hergesheimer explains. “People just gravitated towards it, and I realized that for a lot of people it was also about interacting with the producer of their food.” Soon Hergesheimer was pedaling his bike-mill at farmers markets throughout Greater Vancouver. But after several years, Hergesheimer found that juggling a small business with a growing family and postgraduate studies was overwhelming. Rather than sell the business, he and his brother devised a plan by which the Flour Peddler would continue to mill, bag and sell flour once a month for a home delivery program and write a book about the business. But instead of sharing the proceeds, the brothers will

use 100 percent of the profits to fund their trip to South Sudan to build the bike mill. South Sudan was the obvious choice, Hergesheimer explains, given the connection the brothers have with Chief William Kolong who they had helped when he came to Canada in 1995 as a refugee as one of the legendary Lost Boys – the name given to tens of thousands of children who fled fighting during Sudan’s 22 year-long civil war. One day, Hergesheimer says, he asked Kolong if a bike-mill a la The Flour Peddler would help his community, giving them a chance to mill their own grains, and work together to create a cooperative business. Kolong answered: “my brother, if you promise to come to my village
someday, I promise we will make it happen.” Now, we’re placing our trust in him – that he will be able to help make this dream come to fruition. “We’re selling this flour so we can do something we believe in – something that could make a tangible difference and put the Flour Peddler technology where it can really matter,” confirms Hergesheimer. “To me, that’s the most ethical form of capitalism out there.” The two brother’s have a Indiegogo webpage where you can contribute towards on-the-ground expenses like welding, labour, etc. for their trip to Sudan.

Lacrosse has quickly grown on the Sunshine Coast over the last few years and there is one reason for that: it’s so much fun. The Sunshine Coast Rapids Peewee team (ages 9 to 12 years old) under the leadership of Coach Jason Pratt and Assistant Coach Brian Horback enjoyed a great season and ended the year in third
place out of twelve teams in the Lower Mainland division. The Rapids qualified for the Provincials, held in Kamloops, by defeating a team from Mission. At Kamloops 30 teams from across the province, many of them boasting a 15-player lineup, battled for the top spot. With only ten players, the Rapids came out strong and won their pool against teams from Vanderhoof, Saanich and Kamloops.
Playing with determination, skill and heart the team made it to the semifinals - a first for any Sunshine Coast lacrosse team. The team became like an extended family during the season. Although somwe of the players were new to lacrosse this year, the more experienced kids helped the younger ones learn. All the team families became good friends, enjoyed the competitions and time spent together at the Provincials.

Editorial Opinion Cycling culture just keeps picking up speed Whether you are a hard core downhill rider or simply enjoy a light Sunday afternoon pedal through the park, biking offers people of all ages the opportunity to lead a healthier and more sustainable life. What most people don’t realize is it’s also a powerful economic force that drives millions of dollars into our province each year. Back in 1981 when three young riders opened the doors to Deep Cove Bikes (now Cove Bikes) on the side of Mount Seymour, they didn’t realize they were spearheading a movement that would position BC as a hotbed for mountain biking. These kids were great riders from day one, but they also saw the economic benefits of importing innovative bike parts from the birthplace of mountain biking, Marin County California. They would then assemble new bikes from the imported parts, whcih they would sell out of their little shop. Deep Cove was a hub for action as it neighboured the now famous North Shore trails. Huge ‘bicycle’ street parties were held and this catalysed mountain bike culture to mainstream status across Vancouver in the mid eighties. Quickly other larger companies caught on to the buzz and the rest was history. Because this industry is still growing and has a direct effect on tourism and our local bottom line, it’s important for Coast residents to understand the different types of riding styles. Of course there is the road bike, which resembles the old 10-speed but with thin tires and super light-weight frames. These are the bicycles that riders use when racing in competitions like the Tour De France. Then there are the touring bikes which are a bit closer to the modern day mountain bike but without the suspension or shocks. These are great for those long rides where you are not sure what conditions you might face. These riders are often seen cycling up the Coast with large saddlebags on either side of the bicycle. As far as mountain biking goes, there are basically two main schools of riders and then several unique offshoots. Most popular is cross country cycling. It garners the highest levels of participation both recreationally and competitively. The BC Bike Race that just passed through the Sunshine Coast is an example of a cross country race. It attracted 1,000 cyclists from about 30 different countries. The other most popular style is downhill. These are the hardcore cyclists that typically wear full body armour and scream down mountains on full suspension bikes. These bikes are great for going downhill, but much are much too heavy to ride back up. Other sub-categories include dirt jumping, free riding, and of course BMX style. All these specialized forms of riding are based on performing daredevil tricks. Overall the Sunshine Coast has done well embracing the biking community. We can do more. We need to create a safe bike path from Gibsons to Sechelt some day soon. Some advances have been made by cycling enthusiasts - look towards the Sprockids Park in Langdale, the new pump track in Sechelt, and the hundreds of incredible trails all maintained by volunteers. There are even some new plans being thrown around Gibsons to build a larger and more diversified bike park This will help provide yet a greater foundation to help make the Coast an even greater hotbed for cycling. Let’s hope that we keep rolling in this direction for the sake of our economy and our health. See you on the trails. Jim Dorey, Editor
Letters to the Editor – Opinions The view from here What is a view? It’s more than the pretty picture you see out the window. It is air, light in day and night, the firmament, space, privacy. Google “Bubier Road House tear down” and find some insight into what a by-law can and can’t do. I represented Mr. Johnson’s neighbours; in 1993 (yes, 1993) we initiated a lawsuit in Massachusetts Land Court against his plan to build a house in front of my client’s house on a lot that was illegal because of insufficient lot width according to the by-law. That was years before he applied for a building permit. It took 19 years: two trials, six trips to the Massachusetts Appeals Court and the Supreme Judicial Court, endless motion hearings, views of the property by two judges, retirement of three judges, and a contempt proceeding overseen by a fourth judge, to bring down the illegal house. And we won in every substantive proceeding, trial, motion, appeal. There are real questions about the legitimacy of by-laws which simply address views, but by-laws which establish building height limitations, restrict density, create view corridors go a long way. And there is demonstrated success, at least in the US, for by-laws which deal with the attributes of properties on slopes, overlooking water bodies, and the like. But unless you have the financial capability and stamina to
endure endless nonsense, as my clients did, a by-law is not an absolute answer - it is merely a stepping-off point. Though it should be instructional to people who respect their neighbours and, frankly, demonstrate the manners customary among civilized people. There are other ways to protect views, particularly in the context of subdivision and compromise of actual disputes, through deed restrictions and easements. The Sunshine Coast is blessed to have many attorneys who can competently advise on all of these issues. Frank L. McElroy, Roberts Creek
Volunteers create this festival Thank you to Heather Jeal for her thoughtful Sea Cavalcade observations. Heather, and many others in the last few days have made useful comments on Gibsons’ summer festival. In the last 35 years many volunteers including Sue Rhodes and myself have tried hard to create a summer festival that would be uniquely Gibsons’. We all wanted a weekend that would showcase local talent and ingenuity, give our local businesses an opportunity to say “thank you” to their community and to highlight the abilities of our loggers and firefighters. A chance for “kids to be kids” in the way they can only in a small town, with games, races and of course
lots of food, food, food. The thrill of the pipers in the parade, the heartfelt applause for our Veterans, the wonderful horses, no child should have to miss that. Everyone wanted to highlight our community’s historical connection to the sea and the woods and for that reason “The Boat Blowup”, Loggers Sports, Tugboat Races, Keats Island Swim and Kids Fishing Derby followed by a day for the kids and our beloved fireworks – maybe not the awe inspiring display of Vancouver, but ours, to be enjoyed sitting on the grass with our neighbours and families. Everyone dragged themselves to organizing meetings, we divvied up the work, shared tasks, dragooned new folks in to help and generally had a great time. We also sold raffle tickets, thousands of raffle tickets and with a small help from the Town we had a Cavalcade within budget. In latter years something has changed. The spirit is there but not the same. That’s too bad. Maybe it’s time to sit down together after July and have a long look at our beloved Sea Cavalcade and just what we would like it to Letters to the Editor and Submissions are welcome on any topic of local or general interest.

So grateful for The Local newspaper Last week I was totally surprised to find out that I had won The Local’s ‘Letter to the editor’ contest. I had submitted a letter to express my views on an issue that I felt deeply needed more explanation, and it was printed. As it turns out, and I don’t know how many people know this, but The Local has a contest where they give away a free round of golf for two with a cart. This contest runs each month this summer so if you have something you’d like to talk about, get your letters in, people. My father will be visiting and I look forward to taking him out for a round of golf. It will be a great opportunity for us to bond and have a few laughs. I’d also like to say that I have noticed a big difference in The Local newspaper over the past few months. The new look, quality of the content and pictures, and the new website all rock. Oh yeah, I look forward to checking out the event listings too. Thanks so much. Jamie Swann, Roberts Creek

Fisheries advocates tackle Sunshine Coast and National initiatives The Roundtable is a group of avid fisheries experts and advocates, who work closely with Weston. Biologist, environmentalist and MP Robert Sopuck (Dauphin - Swan River Marquette) accepted the invitation of local MP John Weston to visit the riding July 9, where he was greatly impressed by the impact of local volunteer organizations, such as the Pacific Salmon Foundation and Weston’s Sea to Sky Fisheries Roundtable, on improving local fish habitat. The Roundtable is a group of avid fisheries experts and advocates, who work closely with Weston. Sopuck, a member of both the Fisheries and Environment Committees of the House of Commons, met with both groups and heard from fisheries and environment advocates, such as Ruth Simons, Executive Director of the Future of Howe Sound Society, and a representative of the Sunshine Coast. “As a member of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans, fisheries biologist, passionate angler, and a fisheries conservationist, I was struck by the dedication, creativity, and passion of the angling groups that we met with in British Columbia,” said Sopuck, who also thanked his host for “showing me these wonderful experiences and

Dana Larsen Photo submitted British Columbia’s Chief Electoral Officer, Keith Archer, has granted approval in principle on an initiative petition application by Dana Larsen. This gives him the rights to press ahead with a petition that, if successful, would force the provincial government to address the question of marijuana reform. The petition will be issued on Monday, September 9, 2013. The title of the initiative is An initiative to amend the Police Act. “This initiative petition application is the ninth to be approved since the legislation came into force in 1995,” says Archer. Any registered voter can apply to have a petition issued to gather support for a legislative proposal. After the petition is issued, the proponent will have 90 days to canvass
and collect signatures of at least 10 percent of the registered voters in each of British Columbia’s 85 electoral districts. “We’ve got a pretty good shot at it, I think, but it’s very challenging,” Larsen said in an interview Wednesday. Individuals or organizations who intend to oppose the initiative, conduct initiative advertising, or canvass for signatures must be registered with Elections BC. The deadline for opponent application is Monday, August 12, 2013. Registered voters as of September 9, 2013 may sign the petition once for the electoral district in which they are registered.

Concrete goes high-tech
home &garden
Due to the latest technology it is now possible to produce better-structured concrete, with considerably improved properties compared with those obtained twenty years ago. JIM DOREY EDITOR
Concrete plays an integral role in our society and is the most widely used man-made building material in the world. Its rise in popularity stems from it being a safe and secure building option that is both sustainable and energy efficient. Aggregates, water and cement are the elements that make up concrete. Although manufacturing concrete seems simple, the mixture can take very diverse forms, depending on the proportion and quality of the cement, but also the mechanical, physical and chemical characteristics of the aggregates used and the technology to produce it to CSA standards. Today, readymix concrete is manufactured totally on a made-to-measure basis, in highly automated concrete plants capable of producing up to 500 different
formulas, each for a specific application or requirement. Concrete can be incorporated into everything from high-rises to civil engineering structures. For each application, the concrete chosen presents different characteristics in terms of setting time, resistance, weight, aspect, sound insulation, frost or thaw resistance, or fire resistance. Recent research into cement, aggregates and concrete has led to development of an approach based on scientific understanding to produce better-structured concrete, with considerably improved properties compared with those of twenty years ago. It is now possible to construct more sustainable buildings along with being easier to use on worksites. This high-tech product is a concrete advancement on the materials used in the past, and builders can expect improvements to continue as the industry evolves.

The Sunshine Coast’s newest, most innovative, state-of-the-art, fully automated, ready-mix concrete batch plant! Bill, Gina & family welcome Mike Carter (pictured standing on left side) to the Sunshine Coast and to Central Coast Concrete’s team! Mike will be the Batch Plant Supervisor and Batch Man for Central Coast’s state-ofthe-art facility. Making the bold decision to leave Rempel Bros. Concrete after 25 years of service to relocate his family to the Sunshine Coast was not taken lightly, but Mike was ready for a change and a new challenge. Mike brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise to the concrete industry on the Sunshine Coast and has been involved in many projects over the years including the Golden Ears Bridge and, more recently, BC Hydro’s Ruskin Dam project. The team at Central Coast Concrete is thrilled to have Mike producing the highest quality concrete on the Sunshine Coast from their new high-tech batch plant.

PUBLIC NOTICE
RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.
Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC. Who May Sign the Petition: Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition.

BC gaming grants support animal care initiatives 31-year-old Glee star Cory Every year, the BC government approves $135 million in gaming grants benefiting over 5,000 local organizations representing virtually every community in the province. “Organizations helping animals in distress from abuse, neglector injury need to apply for BC government community gaming grants by August 31” said Coralee Oakes, Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister. Last year animal welfare organizations shared $754,500 in BC government community gaming grants. Recipients include humane societies and other groups dedicated to animal rescue and adoption. Organizations helping specific animals, such as
dogs, cats, horses, owls, wild birds and marine wildlife also received funding. Services include off-setting veterinary costs for spay and neuter programs, providing permanent refuge for abandoned animals and rehabilitation for injured wildlife. Oakes also said “Animal welfare organizations,
backed by dedicated supporters and volunteers in local communities across British Columbia, protect the life, safety and dignity of animals. Year after year, their efforts benefit all kinds of animals, including family pets and wildlife. This important work touches the hearts of Brit-
ish Columbians. Through community gaming grants, the BC government is a proud supporter of animal welfare activities.” During 2012 and 201313, the BC government approved $2,783,566 in community gaming grants for environmental organizations, including animal welfare providers. Grants support the environment through a range of activities: wildlife preservation, grasslands conservation, lake stewardship, river management, fish restoration, marine science, invasive species councils and public education. For a full list of approved gaming grants and information on how to apply, visit: www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/gaming Submitted
Monteith loved by many
1,801 guns collected and turned in for destruction Cory Monteith grew up on Vancouver Island and was a star in the hit TV series Glee. Photo submitted
Some interesting items were turned in — military missile more than six feet long, turned in by the relative of an individual who reportedly kept it as a souvenir of a tour of duty overseas. BC’s latest month-long gun amnesty found its mark, with 1,801 firearms, 155 other weapons and approximately 30,700 rounds of ammunition turned in for destruction, furthering public safety throughout the province. The Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton said “Regardless of whether a weapon’s history is distinguished, shady or simply unknown, gun amnesty means its future is secure. Ultimately, all of these weapons are destroyed. They’re not at risk of being found in a drawer by a child, or of ending up on the street after a break-in. I want to commend police and British Columbians for making this latest program a success in furthering public safety throughout our province.”
The goal of the program, which ran through June, was to encourage British Columbians to safely dispose of unwanted weapons that might otherwise fall into the hands of criminals, children or others, potentially leading to tragic consequences. British Columbians were encouraged to surrender weapons - ranging from high-powered firearms and crossbows to pellet and replica guns - as well as ammunition, by calling their local police to attend, secure and remove the items. The latest results show the sustained value of periodic gun amnesty programs. Back-to-back programs in 1997 and 1998 yielded an average of 2,500 firearms and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. In 2006, the number of firearms rose
Green ways to protect your skin Much of the public now recognizes the dangers of overexposure to the sun. Skin cancer ranks as one of the most common forms of cancer across the globe, and individuals are increasingly conscientious about protecting their skin from damaging ultraviolet, or UV, rays. Certain natural sources might be able to reduce the risk of skin cancer. Leafy vegetables Australian researchers found that eating leafy green vegetables plays an important role in reducing
skin cancer risk as wearing protective clothing and sunscreen. The study, led by Dr. Jolieke van der Pols from The Queensland Institute of Medical Research, was conducted over 11 years and discovered that participants who consumed at least three servings per week of green vegetables could cut their chances of developing skin cancer by up to 55 percent. It is believed the variety of nutrients found in the vegetables, including folic acid, vitamin A
to more than 3,200, plus another 725 unwanted weapons, while the number of rounds was relatively stable at 96,500. As with past campaigns, some interesting items were turned in, including: • 1,026 rifles, 394 handguns and 380 shotguns. • a machine gun received by Kelowna RCMP. • historical firearms, including a Lee-Enfield .303 rifle from World War II. • bayonets from the 1800s, turned in to Ridge Meadows RCMP. • a well-publicized military missile more than six feet long, turned in by the
relative of an individual who reportedly kept it as a souvenir of a tour of duty overseas. The program, endorsed and announced by the BC Association of Chiefs of Police in February, was led by RCMP E-Division on behalf of the provincial RCMP, with support from BC’s municipal police departments.

and C, as well as the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, work together to fight cancer. Tea Years ago, researchers at the University of Minnesota Hormel Institute tested a solution containing chemicals known as polyphenols. The solution, which was made from extractions from green tea, was tested on live mice that were exposed to UV light. The study found that a protein labeled JNK-2 is directly related to the development of skin cancer, and this protein could be
blocked by the application of polyphenols. This application helps reduce the formation of skin tumors. While drinking tea has long been touted as a way to prevent various cancers, this study looks at the way the tea applied topically also can help. Cover Up Applying a sunscreen is one of the easiest and more popular ways to protect the skin, but some people worry about the side effects of chemicals used in popular sunscreens. Covering up the face and skin as much as possible is
Post-mortem testing, which included an autopsy and toxicological analysis, sadly found that Mr. Monteith, aged 31, died of a mixed-drug toxicity involving heroin and alcohol. Mr. Monteith was found deceased in his room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in downtown Vancouve shortly after noon on July 13. He had checked into the hotel on July 6 and had been expected to check out on the 13th. When he had not done so, hotel staff checked his room and found him deceased. Monteith is being remembered for his talent, friendly disposition and generosity — with several Vancouver-area charities, including Project Limelight, a drama and performance program for inner city children — saying Monteith’s enone way to reduce exposure to such chemicals. Wear a densely woven hat with a brim that features at least a two- to three-inch overhang, which can protect the face, neck, ears, eyes, and lips from the sun. Aspirin In 2013, new information was published linking daily aspirin therapy to a decreased risk for melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer. According to the research, data was collected on nearly 60,000 white women ages 50 to 79 years. The women were studied
thusiastic support will be sadly missed. The investigation into this death by the BC Coroners Service is continuing, and no other details are available at this time. It should be noted that at this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith’s death was anything other than a most-tragic accident. When the investigation is concluded, a Coroners Report will be issued. Mr. Monteith’s family has been made aware of the circumstances surrounding the death. On behalf of family members, the BC Coroners Service asks that the media respect their privacy at this difficult time. The BC Coroners Service expresses its sincere condolences to Mr. Monteith’s family and friends. Submitted for 12 years, and the study found that the women who took 81 milligrams of aspirin daily had a 21 percent lower risk of developing melanoma than those who did not take aspirin. Avoidance The recommendation to avoid the peak hours (10am to 4pm) of the sun is still a viable method to preventing skin cancer. Remain indoors as much as possible during peak hours. There are a variety of different ways to lower your risk of developing skin cancer, many of which are natural

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) Things are shaking and you are paying attention and getting noticed. For the sake of love, family, friendship and perhaps reputation you feel motivated to act. With emotions running high you feel moved in an unprecedented way. This is producing waves of change in your closest relationships. The drama will increase as the Moon waxes to full. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) Who are you? This question is ringing in your mind as you reflect upon yourself and your life, the roads you have travelled, your experiences and regarding what to do next. A few quick glances back in time are outweighed by future visions. Dreams to be and do bigger and better than ever are giving you reason to feel excited. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) Old priorities, values, attitudes and their consequent influence of your choices are all changing now. This process will take a while yet to unfold, up to two to three years in fact. In the short term, simply clearing and cleaning where and how you can, will feel good. This is a time of ending, completion and closure. Honor this process yet cast a glance at the renewal to follow. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) A big activation of some of your closest relationships is center stage now. Choosing your words carefully is extra important, as is how you express your feelings. Moderation is the golden rule - neither too little nor too much. Meanwhile, your world is opening up and this will contribute to a whole new state of balance. Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) You are steadily entering new territory. Whether for financial necessity, profit, new priorities and/or interests you are moved to take those important initial steps. These include calculated risks. A change of attitude and perspective at least and possibly even a measurable shift in your overall lifestyle is implied. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) An exciting creative cycle has begun for you. Yet, to succeed you will have to give to the situation wholeheartedly; half measures or partial focus will not do. However, do allow for some diversity in your focus. A rather large learning curve process requiring long-term commitment is featured. Be willing to learn from others who can train and guide you.

Tip of the Week: A powerful line-up of planetary alignments is the celestial backdrop synchronizing with world events now. On July 14, Mars entered Cancer where it traditionally proves to cut, carve and renovate with a sharp edge. On July 17, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune formed an exact Grand Trine (each planet exactly 120 degrees apart) in the three Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces respectively. Together these indicate deep change and transformation (Saturn in Scorpio) with mass spiritual implications (Neptune in Pisces) activated by huge events and both the source of and the consequence of big and widespread emotional sentiments (Jupiter in Cancer). Next on July 20, the day Mercury in Cancer turns, Mars will take its turn completing the Grand Trine in Water with Saturn and Neptune. Then, on July 22 under the light of the Full Moon in Aquarius on the first day of the Sun’s cycle in Leo, Mars will conjunct Jupiter in Cancer reinforcing this Water Grand Trine alignment. Mars will heat things up that much more on July 27 when it forms an exact Opposition to Pluto on the same day that the Moon forms a Conjunction with Uranus and then will actually form a Square to Uranus on July 31, thereby reinforcing the lingering and potent square aspect between Uranus and Pluto. Thus, Mars will weave the Water Grand Trine with the Uranus/Pluto Square. The manifestation of this weave of dynamic planetary energies stands to be at least a continuation of the social and political hotspots on the planet such as Syria, Egypt and Brazil, and probably an inflation of these and the ignition of others yet. These powerful activations will continue through August and every month for the rest of the year culminating with Comet Ison which is scheduled to come into view as early as late November. I will elaborate on the July events next week and bring even more attention to the big August activations in the weeks to come. Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20) You are in the mood to
express yourself deeply and in a big way. Rearranging furniture and artifacts to produce a new feel in the atmosphere will contend with outright renovations. Balancing dramatic flair spurred by irrupting intuition with a more practical approach will become evident this week. Think twice pay once. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) Many creative ideas are flowing strongly now. The planetary alignments are supporting you to tend to a variety of interests, to cover a lot of ground. Producing works of beauty feels important. Your ability to share these with others for profit and/or as an end in themselves is leading you to refine your skills. A commitment to originality is moving you to merge your talents with those of others. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) Making changes to be healthier is more than just on your mind. What aspect of health, depends on you. It could be physical, mental, emotional, and/or financial and so on. To succeed you may need to outsource, to get tips, guidelines and outright training. Since health is beautiful and feels so good, let these rewards inspire you to action. Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) Making key moves and initiatives to advance your overall position is driving you onward. Supported by an extra sharp focus, you want to achieve a lot quickly. You feel the power and want more of it. This will make you shine brighter and get noticed more over the next several weeks. Aim for an expansion of your whole life. Just be careful of over inflation. Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) A good deal of activity behind the scenes is keeping you busy now. You are in a deep process of facing fears to lay claim to hidden gifts. A steady learning curve is implied and you should already be engaged. You are destined to see a bigger picture and with greater clarity. Be patient and steadfast. The flowers may already be apparent but it may take a year to bear real fruit. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) Taking new leads and directions is an important theme for you these days. Doing so is directly linked to expanding your network and increasing your exposure. Refining your skills and increasing your income is a braided theme. These are activating your creative inventiveness and deepening your overall scope of awareness.

healthier. For example, when a recipe calls for butter, consider substituting that butter with a monounsaturated fat such as olive oil or a polyunsaturated fat such as sunflower oil. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats help reduce “bad” cholesterol, also known as lowOak Tree 1129 density lipoprotein, or LDL, while increasing high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, a protective cholesterol often referred to as “good” cholesterol. LDL can build up in the bloodstream and form plaque that lines the walls of the arteries, which can decrease blood flow to the heart and increaseJuly a person’s 18, 2013 risk of heart disease. Though saturatedfats can be part of a healthy diet, it’s best to make sure consumption of saturated fats is minimal. Sources of saturated fat include meat, poultry with skin still attached and whole-milk dairy products. When eating meat, look for lean cuts with no visible fat. When preparing poultry, peel the skin off. And when enjoying dairy products, choose low-fat or nonfat products.
