Teen on ATV killed A tragic accident has claimed the life of a 17-yearold male from Surrey, after the ATV he was driving collided with a concrete barrier near a bridge on a forest service road in Roberts Creek, throwing the male approximately 30 feet down a ravine.

The BC Ambulance Service, the Roberts Creek Fire Department and Sunshine Coast RCMP responded to the crash around 2pm Saturday. An air ambulance first landed at Cliff Gilker Park in Roberts Creek, but later moved to a second landing site closer to the accident

scene, about seven kilometres up the Sechelt Dakota Forest Service Road. The male was flown to Vancouver General Hospital, but did not survive.

“This was a sad end to what was supposed to be

a day of fun and adventure on the Sunshine Coast back roads,” said Cst Harrison Mohr with Sunshine Coast RCMP. “The male was visiting the Sunshine Coast from Surrey and had been out with a group of six riders -

one of whom was a family friend from the Coast - when he collided with the barrier.

It appears that the male was an experienced ATV rider himself, and it is unclear why his ATV struck the barrier. Our deepest sympa-

thies go out to his family and friends. Their loss will be felt by many here on the Coast, especially among the large community of off-road enthusiasts who utilize our many forest service roads.”

District, SCRD, Town of Gibsons and District of Sechelt approved a Sunshine Coast Economic Development Charter. The implementation of the charter and the creation of an economic development entity are key objectives in the SCRD Stra-

tegic plan.

“The intent of the regional partnership is to enhance the work of those agencies currently receiving local funding to undertake economic development initiatives,” says Garry Nohr, SCRD Board Chair.

The following candidates were appointed: Robin Chauhan, David Chisholm, Maria Hampvent, Shelley McDade, Cheryl McNicol, Celia Robben, Alan Skelley, Tanya Smith, and a representative from the shíshálh Nation. Submitted

On the evening of April 2, police were called to a liquor establishment in the Pender Harbour area after one patron bit another patron. The suspect sat down at a table with a male he did not know, that male reached out to shake the suspect’s hand, then the suspect bit into his hand and began yelling at staff, before taking off without paying for his drinks.

The suspect male has been identified by police. Staff suspect the male may have been under the influence of drugs.

No charges are being recommended.

Suspected water leaks causing alarm

Engineering not to stay involved is basically an abrogation of their responsibility to the people,” Rice said.

Rice said that earlier that day (March 30), he had been summoned by two concerned owners of homes at the junction of Selma Park and Reservoir Roads, which are situated on or near the underground water main that runs from the nearby water treatment plant to Davis Bay. Rice said the owners wanted to show him evidence of shifting ground on their properties.

“They have experienced ground movement of between three and four feet in a north south direction and a similar movement in an eastwest direction,” Rice said.

Local resident Chuck Gould, who owns a property on Selma Park Road south of the highway, also spoke up at the meeting, noting that the SCRD has been investigating water leaks in his part of the neighbourhood for some time. Gould said the SCRD installed water meters as part of their probe and found five out of eight residences had substantial leaks between their homes and the water main. Owners are responsible for repair of leaks on their

own properties.

“I was leaking up to 400,000 litres a year,” Gould said.

Gould suspects the installation of new storm sewers along the highway in 2011 by the provincial ministry of transportation caused the decades-old home water lines to break.

“When the sewer work was going on, I was standing on my sundeck and I watched a flower pot go eight feet across the deck with all the vibration from the pounding from the highway construction,” he said.

It is not known if the same construction work might have damaged water line damage hundreds of metres up Selma Park Road.

Bandara said he recommended that water metres urgently be installed in homes near Reservoir Road, but the SCRD said it could not afford to do that until 2017, as planned.

Councillor Darnelda Siegers successfully moved a recommendation at the committee meeting that Council have staff again contact the SCRD and the ministry of transportation requesting they act to resolve the problems.

Some Selma Park residents concerned about possible major water leaks in their neighbourhood are incensed that the District of Sechelt says it can do no more at this time to determine the cause or extent of the problem.

Sechelt’s Manager of Engineering, Sanath Bandara, presented a report to the District’s Public Works Committee March 30, listing the many steps taken by his department and the Sunshine Coast Regional District since 2014 to investigate groundwater seepage and ground movement possibly due to leaks on properties on upper Selma Park Road and on the same road south of the highway.

“These issues could be due to a number of reasons, but not one particular cause was identified,” Bandara said in his report.

Local resident Peter Rice expressed frustration to committee members with suggestions in the engineering report and in comments

by Sechelt Chief Administrative Officer Tim Palmer that the SCRD, which is responsible for water distribution, should be dealing with the problem.

The Local - Thursday, April 7, 2016

Editorial Opinion Saving bear cubs West Coast Bear Cub Rehabilitation (WCBCR), located on 14 acres of forested land outside of West Sechelt, plans to open in the summer of 2017 pending completion of the facility and approval from the BC Ministry of Fish and Wildlife and with the blessing of other rehab facilities both on and off-coast.

Formed by a small group of experienced and enthusiastic individuals who have come together in a common purpose to rehabilitate cubs orphaned in BC due to death of the mother bear through natural or problem scavenging in human communities, the rehabilitation centre is designed to alleviate suffering and provide a safe and natural environment for the cubs until they are of the age to be relocated and survive on their own.

“Our vision is to focus on bear cubs to ensure that their rehabilitation is a success. We plan to build natural enclosures allowing the bears to learn critical survival skills before release while ensuring they remain wary of humans and development.

In addition we plan to have an education program to help prevent conflict with wildlife, promote safety and protect our ecosystem,” says founder Delaina-Lu Gamblin.

The Sunshine Coast currently has no facilities suitable for accepting orphaned bear cubs, and while there are three organizations rehabilitating bears in British Columbia, all are operating at or beyond capacity, leading to the unnecessary death of cubs in the province.

The rehab facility is located in the sparsely populated upper hills behind Halfmoon Bay, where because of site location and geography, human interaction will be minimal. The cubs will grow up in a natural environment providing skill development necessary for them to forage in the wild, reducing the potential they will become, like their mothers, ‘problem’ bears in human settled areas.

In order to obtain certification and permits to open, the West Coast Bear Cub Rehabilitation facility must be fully completed, inspected and licensed before any bear cubs can be accepted.

At this time WCBCR is campaigning for cash donations, materials, skills and labour to begin building the enclosures and prepare for the transportation, feeding and veterinary care for the cubs arriving at the facility.

This is a critical development period for WCBCR. In order to take in orphaned cubs in the summer and fall of 2017, the facility needs to be fully operational and ready for review in 2016.

Time is of the essence for donations.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Ferries speak (Re “Ferry performance well below average”, the Local, March 31) On-time performance is monitored closely at all levels and keeping to the schedule is a goal we all strive for every day. However, for a variety of reasons (many beyond our control, such as medical emergencies, stalled vehicles, adverse weather) some of the more than 172,000 sailings we perform annually do get delayed.

With three very busy routes operating out of the constrained Horseshoe Bay terminal, there are unique challenges such as single ship loading/unloading and docking/undocking when operating at Horseshoe Bay as compared to other major terminals. What happens on the Langdale route will affect the operations on both the Nanaimo and Bowen Island runs, and vice versa. This is not an excuse for late sailings, but it must be acknowledged as a very real condition our crews deal with daily.

As for the decision to add Sunday sailings on the Langdale-Horseshoe Bay route, BC Ferries is keenly aware that any delayed departure will affect customers’ lives, and we are constantly working at identifying ways to improve.

Previously, BC Ferries was asked by the local Ferry Advisory Committee to consider all factors involved in the addition of Sunday sailings. These factors included the expected costs of adding sailings compared to the potential benefits gained in efficiencies and improved customer service, taking into consideration the strong rebound in traffic we are currently experiencing across the ferry system.

Thus, after careful analysis we determined that any increased costs associated with adding these sailings would be offset by reduced costs associated with decreased congestion, overloads and delays.

It should be noted that these sailings are above contracted service levels with the Provincial government.

Further, this analysis was a deliberate process conducted over several months, involving efforts put forth by community members, FAC representatives and BC Ferries staff.

We will continue to work with the FAC and other stakeholders to improve service on Route 3 through the identification of process change in the short-term, and engineering design changes over the long-term.

Mark Collins VP, Strategic Planning & Community Engagement BC Ferries

A simple solution According to the article in last week’s Local, the Ferry Advisory Committee knew of two reportable reasons for the bad on-time record. First, the ferries are getting old so they travel more slowly and, second, the berth at Langdale is not ferry friendly so it slows docking.

But there is a free and simple solution to the on-time problem: figure out how long it takes the ferry to actually make a trip and change the printed schedules to fit.

The BC Ferries website shows the crossing time as 40 minutes. With the aging ferries and the unfriendly Langdale dock it may actually take 50 minutes for a crossing. Change the times in the schedules accordingly. i.e. the first sailing is out of Langdale at 6:20am so make the first trip out of Horseshoe Bay at 7:30am instead of 7:20am.

Get it? Just allow 10 minutes more for each crossing in the schedules and everything can now be on time. Everyone will know how to plan and not be late for appointments and so on.

However, I suspect there are other reasons for the poor on-time performances of our

ferries than just the printed schedules.

Go electric A Sunshine Coast organization focused on reducing the impact of climate change has launched a campaign calling on consumers across North America to make their next vehicle an electric one.

The 2° Institute is asking people to take the Electric Car Pledge to reduce carbon emissions across the continent.

2° Institute founder Ryan Logtenberg says with a new generation of 300km+ (200 mile) range electric vehicles expected in 2017 at prices comparable to mass produced gas vehicles, consumers can more easily make the leap to zero emission personal transportation.

To encourage people to take the step to electric vehicles, the 2° Institute will launch a crowd funded online campaign to raise money to build the pledge website and fund a targeted online ad campaign and outdoor billboard campaign in major North American cities. The campaign aims to garner one million pledges by the end of 2017 and ten million by 2020.

The Electric Car Pledge website (www.electricpledge. org) will offer an electric car buyers guide, an interactive map of public charging stations and an online form for individuals to take the pledge and receive an official certificate of their pledge to share with their social networks.

The historic Paris Climate Conference of December, 2015 resulted in a collective resolve among 197 countries to limit the planet’s average global temperature increase to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels to avoid a critical threshold above which the planet could experience irreversible catastrophic impacts. To achieve this, governments and individual citizens

in these countries will each need to do their part to reduce their own carbon footprint in order to keep the temperature increase below 2°C. The 2° Institute mission is to develop and execute strategies that empower people to make the behavioural and lifestyle changes needed to keep our planet from warming by 2 degrees Celsius.

First aid first In aid of community resilience and emergency preparedness Roberts Creek Community Association (RCCA) held it's first community first aid course April 3. Fifteen Roberts Creek residents successfully completed a Canadian Red Cross Emergency First Aid course taught

by Kellei Baker of BC First Aid. The course included patient assessment, CPR, wound management and automatic defibrillator use. Participants ranged in age from 15 to 75.

This was inspired by the Community Resilience Forum held at the RC Hall Feb. 21, initiated by SCRD Region D director Mark Lebbell. Safety experts all agree the first step in community resilience is for people to be able to help themselves and each other independently by sharing skills and materials – first aid being paramount.

MP says LNG plant not a done deal Local MP Pam GoldsmithJones says she knows she’s been “disappointing” to many constituents following Ottawa’s preliminary approval of a Howe Sound liquid natural gas plant, but insists that final consent for the project is not a foregone conclusion and is at least a year away.

“I appreciate that my role in this is very disappointing to people,” Goldsmith-Jones said April 1 during an open meeting with about 50 constituents at the Blue Ocean Grill in Sechelt. “It’s been a challenging week for me.”

The newly elected Liberal MP organized the meeting specifically to take questions about the planned Woodfibre LNG project near Squamish, which would produce about two million tonnes of LNG annually, all of which would be shipped by tankers through Howe Sound out into the Pacific to Asia.

Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna green-lighted the project March 17, but Goldsmith-

Jones added that there are still many hurdles to clear before final approval.

“There are 122 conditions that accompany that [approval], and 25 conditions by the Squamish First Nation,” said Goldsmith-Jones.

She said the substance of all those conditions will be made public very soon and that her priority is to make sure they are clear.

“I will be making sense of those conditions for the community, because it really does matter,” she said. “I will continue to be totally public about what the next steps are.”

When asked if any of those conditions is a “showstopper” for the project, Goldsmith-Jones said the cooling system for the LNG plant and its effects on the ecologically crucial herring fishery will be big factors to be examined by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

Meanwhile, Transport Minister Marc Garneau will have to consider the safety risks posed by some 40 tank-

ers a year, each loaded with up to 60,000 tonnes of LNG, navigating frequently treacherous Howe Sound and crossing numerous BC Ferries routes and other shipping lanes before reaching the open ocean.

“Those permits and licences have not been given,” said Goldsmith-Jones. “I think it’s going to take a year or two, for one thing. That’s from my most recent conversation with Minister Garneau.”

The MP said McKenna could not force the LNG project “back to the drawing board,” as it was proposed under the rules established by the previous Conservative government, “They operated under what the laws and the rules and the process was then.”

The Conservatives, “gutted [environmental] legislation that needs to be restored,” said Goldsmith-Jones. “We have rebuilding to do. Restoring public trust in the environmental assessment process is a massive responsibility.” Rik Jespersen

Out in front of the clubhouse is a very old and large oak tree. It is the traditional meeting place for those attending the Masters. Representatives from most golfing associations in the world attend the Masters and most major golf equipment companies attend as well.

First time visitors to the Masters notice several things that contribute to the uniqueness of the tournament. The terrain at Augusta National has more elevation change than you could ever discern by watching on television. The greens are lightning fast. The patrons (they are called patrons at The Masters, everywhere else they are spectators or fans) are respectful and apprecia-

tive but extremely polite. All the paths are sand so you never hear people walking around. All the television booths and equipment is green and all the wiring is buried. The grounds are spotless. If you watch you will see staff in white overalls quietly walking around picking up litter, cigarette butts etc. The food and beverages available to the patrons are noticeably inexpensive, as are the souvenirs.

A couple of interesting items that you might not know: the purse for The Masters is never announced, the attendance is not published, and the golf course is closed to play from May to October. Enjoy the coverage this weekend.

Greetings readers. Here are some final notes on the fall/winter season.

On March 13, the Dolphins swim team travelled to Coquitlam to take part in a swim meet. En route, we met Emmanuel Arceneaux, #84 - wide receiver for the BC Lions. He posed for photos with our team and wished us luck. Later we found a photo and posting on Facebook saying he felt blessed to have met us. Truly cool.

Oh yes, the swimming, can’t forget that. It was stiff competition but as always we Dolphins set the water ablaze and took home many ribbons and personal bests.

Our team can be very proud.

The last swim practice for the season was a ‘fun’ swim with relays involving socks and shirts being worn by athletes (over the bathing suits obviously) and balloons.

It was also the time to bid farewell to Head Swim Coach Marie Telder. She is moving to Port Alberni where she will continue to coach. Marie was presented

Gibsons final basketball practice was a game between the coaches and volunteers dressed up as Team Ireland and the athletes who were dressed as Team Canada.

Herring are returning One of our Sunshine Coast Friends of Forage Fish group members was out walking the beach in Roberts Creek last week, and was delighted

to see herring eggs amongst the wrack line.

The wrack line is the trail of seaweed and debris that is left by the tides, and amaz-

ingly enough (according to science), the majority of herring eggs are able to survive high and dry until the next high tide takes them out to

Divers off Roberts Creek beach find and photograph herring eggs on seaweed.

sea again.

As the word spread, some local divers decided to go and take a look, and sure enough, herring eggs are present on

the tall tree-like sargassum seaweeds, on the bottom third of the plant, about 200 to 300 feet offshore.

The spawn is moderately dense, and appeared to cover a fairly extensive area.

This is exciting news, as here on the Sunshine Coast we have experienced a lack of herring until recent years when evidence of herring

spawning began to appear.

If you have sighted herring spawn, or if you are interested in joining our group and learning more about what’s happening at your front door, get in touch. We are a citizen science group and will be keeping track of spawning sites. www.friendsoforagefish.com Submitted

Using pumpkin seeds boosts the iron content and purple cabbage is a good source of antioxidants. Layering the ingredients onto each plate allows you to control the look of the dish, and will give you a salad that looks like the attached photo.

scheduled for August 26-28 at Shirley Macey Park, a location and dates Coast festival goers might recognize as traditionally held by the Synchronicity Festival. “Last year’s festival was incredibly successful,” say MacDonald of the 2015 Synchronicity gathering. “But with the people involved in Synchronicity taking some time to regroup, we wanted to keep that momentum going.”

The Rogue Arts Festival plans a main stage with music all week long, workshops, a creation station and hands on do-it-yourself projects. “We’re trying to provide a little bit of something for everyone,” says MacDonald of the festival’s ambitious plans. “There’s a lot of apprehension and reserva-

tion around the words art and culture,” continues MacDonald. “People tend to shy away from it because they’ve been made to feel like they’re not artistic, that they don’t understand what culture is. But have you ever re-arranged the furniture in your house or spent some time making a meal? There are lots of ways that people are being creative and artistic in their daily lives.

Once they associate the word art or artistic or culture or creative with something they are familiar with, they’ll feel more comfortable.”

The fundraiser promises to be a fun, toe-tapping, swinging affair, with local band Sing You Sinners and Vancouver’s Staggers and Jaggs providing the live sets. MacDonald describes their musical style as “folk, blues-inspired, with a hint of gypsy,” and local DJ Little D will be spinning electro swing style tunes in between sets. MacDonald also promises some fun new Rogueinspired swag that she’s keeping under wraps until the big night. “It’ll be loads of fun,” says MacDonald. “How could it not?”

A work by Bhodi Drope in the new show at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery. PHOTO SUBMITTED The Gibsons Public Art Gallery’s new show features multi-disciplinary artist Derek von Essen and an exhibit of photographs by Bodhi Drope.

The exhibition opens April 7, with the opening reception 2-4pm April 9.

Von Essen’s exhibit is called “Lost and Found and Broken”.

"I recycle and recontextualize discarded objects to create and overcome compositional challenges of combining the materials,” he writes. “Much like building a puzzle, I get the same thrill from using salvaged items when they form a connection to each other. As these parts are acquired - often from alleys and construction sites, I feel an obligation to the materials and enjoy finding new purpose for them."

Drope’s collection of photographs, called “Nature’s

Gallery Underfoot: a Visual Meditation”, is about looking not SEEING, and asks the question "Am I unconsciously imposing bias on what I see?"

He has assembled this exhibition to highlight phenomenon from nature where one's unconscious projections contribute to the veil obscuring conscious seeing.

Derek von Essen will give a talk Sat. April 16 at 2pm: “Expanding your Creative Arsenal with Everything but the Kitchen Sink”.

Bodhi Drope will lead a guided visual meditation workshop: Sun. April17, 2pm3:30pm: 'Looking is not SEEING'. All ages, no meditation experience required. Admission is free, donations welcomed.

Holistic View Canteris Hartley Classical Homeopath

If you are parent or an adult that works with children you may be aware of the increased diagnosis and cases of disorders such as ADHD, ADD, OCD, ODD, anxiety and depression, aggression, even violence, and eating disorders that is occurring with children today.

Some argue that the increase in cases of ADD and other disorders could be in part due to the change in cultural lifestyle and pace of life, that children’s lives are more scheduled and hectic, spending more time in front of screens along with exposure to violent imagery, and there

is less time for a healthy outlet of free physical imaginative play in nature and connection with parents and themselves individually.

There are many therapies and approaches available for addressing children with disorders, however the homeopathic approach understands that each child is unique, and that behaviors are only part of the picture. There are often deeper underlying emotions that are causing these behaviors, as well as, external stressors that are causing the child to react in their unique way to which they are susceptible. Understanding each child as an individual and understanding what their underlying emotions are, how they react to different environments, foods, social situations, helps to determine which homeopathic remedy

is unique for that child. For example, if a child is prone to aggression or alternately a victim of aggression, then there is an underlying susceptibility and imbalance that is causing the child to either react aggressively or fall victim to aggressors and these symptoms will be indicated in specific homeopathic remedies that would be helpful for the particular child. The homeopathic approach, which uses remedies that have no harmful side effects and works with the body’s own innate healing ability, looks at what is underlying the behavioral symptoms of each child and each child’s unique emotional symptoms and experiences beyond the diagnosis. The effects of the initial dose of a homeopathic remedy can last for months, helping the child reach a more balanced state emotionally, behaviorally and also address any physical symptoms, such as headaches, digestion or hormonal imbalances, for example and close the gap of their individual susceptibility. Authors and practitioners, Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, N.D., L.C.S.W. and Robert Ullman, N.D., who both have extensive experience working in conventional mental health professions and in the their books, “Rage free

Diabetes epidemic

This year, World Health Day on April 7 will focus on diabetes and its global impact. In Canada, diabetes has reached epidemic proportions—with an estimated 11 million people living with diabetes or prediabetes. Another Canadian is diagnosed with diabetes every three minutes.

Diabetes increases a person’s risk for many serious

complications such as heart attack, stroke, kidney failure leading to dialysis, and blindness. Nevertheless, for many people it is possible to live a healthy, full life with diabetes.

“People with diabetes play a critical role in ensuring the best health outcomes with the disease. Working closely with their health-care team, they manage blood sugar

play an important role when considering what changes and approaches to take.

Catching them early on gives a child a chance to find balance and thrive both emotionally in their relationships and developmentally. levels, foot care, eye care, physical activity and healthy eating,” says Dr. Jan Hux, chief science officer at the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA). “Self-management is the cornerstone of diabetes care and people affected by it need the knowledge and skills to properly manage diabetes.”

Dementia workshops Dementia, one of B.C.'s most pressing health issues, creates many challenges for Sunshine Coast families.

Fortunately for them, the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. can help.

The Society brings two free workshops to the Sunshine Coast on Monday, April 25.

The first workshop, Understanding Communication, shows caregivers how communication is affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Participants will

explore effective ways of facilitating communication and providing support to the person with dementia. It runs from 9:30-11:30am.

The second workshop, Transition to & Life in Residential Care, is designed for family caregivers. Running from 6:30-8:30pm, it will cover: • decision-making and strategies for easing the transition of a family member to a residential care facility • the role of the regional health authority and its case

managers • assessing long-term care facilities for placement • working effectively with a care team and enhancing your visits.

Both workshops take place at Sechelt Hospital. Preregistration is required, by contacting Kerri Sutherland at 604-984-8348 or ksutherland@alzheimerbc.org.

EMPLOYMENT

Editor - Merritt Herald Merritt, BC Are you looking to grow your career in an environment where you have the freedom to produce, curate and edit content that is useful and interesting to a growing readership?

Our award-winning community newspaper located in the beautiful Thompson-Okanagan is seeking an editor to lead a small, talented team of journalists.

Provincial issues like the ongoing biosolids debate and public access to lakes are always simmering under the surface, and national and international lumber, mining and agriculture markets are very influential in this region. As editor, you have the opportunity to tell the stories that matter to the people of the Nicola Valley, many of whom continue to rely on the newspaper to keep them informed.

The successful applicant will work with the newsroom’s generalassignment and sports reporters on story assignment and editing.

The successful applicant will be responsible for producing six to eight stories per week, taking photographs to accompany those stories, writing columns and editorials, and editing the stories coming in from the reporter and columnists.

The editor will also lay out the newspaper twice a week using Adobe InDesign and upload the paper and photo galleries to the newspaper’s website and post them on social media.

The successful candidate will be community-oriented and have a serious interest in current events — locally, regionally, provincially, nationally and globally.

Horoscope Michael O’Connor Astrologer

Tip of the Week: In this Universal 9 Year, April is destined to produce a significant deepening of the plot on both individual and collective levels. ‘The plot’ is relative as there are ever many levels and angles to life, but if you take a moment to reflect on your own life this should become increasingly evident. As is the case with such themes, this deepening will prove measurable and dramatic in some regards, especially on larger collective fronts.

The New Moon in Aries occurred on April 7 at 4:24 am PDT and its position in the Tropical Zodiac is 18 Aries 04. Of particular importance is the fact that the Sun/Moon conjunction (= New Moon) is also conjunct Uranus – a triple conjunction! This adds a very significant factor. So, while eclipses are generally considered more potent than usual, a planet conjunct the New Moon, especially a far planet, (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) puts the New Moon in a special category all its own. With Uranus we can expect sudden and unexpected changes, especially if this New Moon makes close aspects to personal planets or angles in your Natal

Chart. Further, Pluto is also square this triple conjunction New Moon. Fasten your seat belts, this month is going to be epic.

Aries (Mar 21–Apr 20) A marked sense of individuality and independence is becoming more apparent with each new day. You have taken a major turn a little while back and now you are on a new road. Your energy levels are running pretty high, yet at least one of your fuel cells is empty and you can feel it. There is no turning back to repair or refuel so persevere faithfully.

Taurus (Apr 20–May 21) It may feel as though while you are busily living your life, your life is busily living you. Both outer circumstances beyond your control and inner compulsions are driving you, as if against your will, but not entirely. When you think about it carefully, it all makes sense – the choices you have made, some clearly successful and some perhaps not so. It is time for self-reflection and reinvention.

Gemini (May 21–Jun 21) Many new and perhaps original thoughts and perceptions are running through your mind. It is as if you are gaining a lucid glimpse into the future. Of course, even probabilities are not certainties. If all that changes is your attitude and interpretation regarding existing circumstances and future events, your world will

change and it will. Almost paradoxically, you feel confident all the while.

Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22) Things are shifting and shaking in your public sphere and others are taking notice. Yet you may be too busy to really notice.

Circumstances are pushing you to drive harder and to learn all you can as you go.

In some respects you may feel like a newbie, learning things that have always been right there but did not seem so important. That was then.

Leo (Jul 22–Aug 23) A sporting and ambitious mood continues. You feel strong and risky. This is not to say your mood is cavalier. Calculating might be a better word to describe your focus now. Regardless of your financial circumstances, you are determined to make sensible decisions, investments that will bring returns. Yet once your business is done you will be enthusiastic for some fun and frolic.

Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22) You have entered a rather deep cycle of change. The good news is that it stands to be quite positive. It may be that years of effort are suddenly paying off. Still, you have work to do. Circumstances are pushing you to dig deeper than you have for a while. This includes squarely facing certain fears. The key to doing so is to take firm hold of your talents.

Libra (Sep 22–Oct 22) Some very real changes are underway on relationship fronts. Whether literally or figuratively, you are preparing to make some big moves. These may still be in the early planning stages but your intentions are clear and definite. Feeling as confident as you would like, however, might be a challenge. Slow down and take things one day at a time.

Scorpio (Oct 22–Nov 21) Changes in your lifestyle are activating your ambitions. Or is it the other way around? Either way, there is excitement in the air.

Although you have to pay your dues somehow, it may feel as though you are being guided by something greater than yourself. It includes rendering some form of service for the sake of the greater good. Trust this flow and answer the call.

Sagittarius (Nov 21–Dec 21) With each new day, a vi-

The Local - Thursday, April 7, 2016

sion of your future grows.

Inspired by it all, you feel more courageous and determined than ever. In the widest sense, you are steadily undergoing some kind of metamorphosis. Prior fears and insecurities that not so long ago seemed so real are rapidly melting away.

Though there is something almost mystical about it all, you are wise to stay grounded and realistic.

Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19) A new dynamic has begun close to home. As if suddenly, things are not as they were a short while ago. As the old steadily fades like a receding shore, your sights are set on what lies ahead.

This includes the task of paying attention to the details. Fortunately, your powers of concentration are running strong and you feel supported by creative ideas and plans.

Aquarius (Jan 19–Feb 19) A revolutionary shift in

DID YOU KNOW?

your perceptions has been activated and your curiosity levels are peaking. In some respects, this has been underway for several years.

Yet, suddenly you are in another turn. At worst you feel a little confused and overwhelmed. Ideally you feel energized, determined, and even rebellious. The time has come for a brave new world.

Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20) Your ambitions are on a steady rise. This includes expanding your social horizons. Entertaining new possibilities and playing with ideas feels right. The time has come to take some key initiatives. This includes both getting and sharing new knowledge. You may feel the need for some downtime this weekend, but you enthusiasm levels will rise noticeably as the week progresses.
