Returning to the Rock For 58 years, the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament has drawn droves of spectators and media to the Morehead City waterfront. Visitors and residents visit shops and restaurants downtown while waiting for an angler to catch the top prize, a blue marlin. While prizes are still awarded for game fish such as mahi mahi, tuna and wahoo, the blue marlin weigh-ins are what draws the crowds to the bleachers and the streets to see who is at the top of the leader board and in the running for the purse, which annually tops $1 million.

This year’s tournament is scheduled for June 10-18, drawing anglers from up and down the coast. Blue marlin are brought to the scales as soon as they are caught, while gamefish weigh-ins occur Monday through Friday from 4-7pm and on Saturday from 3-6pm.

The tournament kicks off with the Lady Angler Event from 6-8pm on Friday, June 10 at the Crystal Coast Civic Center.

The 17th annual Big Rock Lady Angler Tournament runs from 8am-1pm on Saturday, June 11. The tournament gets in full swing with the Captain’s Party at the Civic Center from 7-11pm on Saturday, June 11. Tickets can be purchased at tournament headquarters or at the door.

Be sure to be in downtown Morehead City on Friday, June 17, for a live performance by country music artist James Wesley, supported by the Castaways. The festivities will begin at 5pm at the Jaycee Park with the Soul Psychedelique band hosted by Alive at Five.

After that concert, head to the Big Rock Landing, 710 Evans St., for the Castaways and James Wesley.

A portion of the song downloads benefit the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament charities and the ASA’s Keep America Fishing Foundation. “Hooked Up” can be downloaded from Itunes or from thebigrock.com.

Can’t make it downtown? Keep tabs on all the action with the tournament’s live feed on thebigrock.com.

Plan for the Fourth With so many different places to catch the fireworks along the Crystal Coast, it’s best to plan ahead. From concerts to parades, there’s plenty to do leading up to the main event, spectacular fireworks.

Morehead City Parks and Recreation Dept. added an additional date to the Concert in the Park summer series for Mon10 ISLAND REVIEW

day, July 4 featuring The Main Event Band. From 7-8:30pm, the tunes will be flowing well ahead of the fireworks, giving visitors the chance to be entertained while grabbing a great seat at Jaycee Park for the nighttime event. The Morehead City fireworks are set to go off at 9pm and can be enjoyed from any vantage point on the waterfront. It’s best to arrive early to get a good spot.

Beaufort takes an old-fashioned approach to the holidays with families, businesses and clubs taking to the street for the annual Fourth of July parade. Line the streets and watch the patriotic floats at 11am.

Along Bogue Banks, Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle host fireworks displays. Atlantic Beach holds its display at the Circle, with parking around the circle, in the CAMA lot on West Boardwalk, the dirt lot north of Atlantic Boulevard and the paved lot to the south as well as the grassy lot on the 100 block of East Bogue. The town recommends car pooling, walking or biking to help with traffic congestion. The celebration starts at 9pm and should be seen from nearby oceanfront locations and neighborhoods.

The Emerald Isle Fireworks are launched off the Bogue Inlet Pier. Parking is available at the pier and along Hwy 58.

The display begins at 9pm and should be visible from Bogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway.

IF YOU WANT a great mystery/thriller for the summer look no further.

Harlan Coben is one of the best in this genre and “Fool Me Once” is one his finest novels.

This is a stand-alone contribution from Coben featuring former specialops pilot Maya Burkett who has returned from the war with a serious case of PTSD. Maya’s sister and then her husband are both murdered. Joe Burkett is shot by a mugger in Central Park as Maya watches. A friend’s gift of a nanny cam produces an image which stuns the distressed wife and leads her on a search for clues. Are the two deaths related? These are the kinds of teases Coben loves to pose for readers.

Maya is tortured by nightmares from her last mission in Kuwait where civilians were killed by her aircraft. A whistle blower has released a video of the incident. Add this to the murders and you have a character dealing with more than anyone should have to face. Through it all she is tough and resilient, questioning everything.

Coben is a skilled literary artist who interjects plot twists galore. He is the maestro of unexpected surprises. Readers of good mysteries beg to be fooled and are rewarded in “Fool Me Once” with more than one misdirection. Just when you think you know the truth, everything changes and then changes again.

From the opening words, “They buried Joe three days after his murder” to the closing words, “She’s here, I know it” the writing is superb. The pace is steady and thrilling with characters and locations which intrigue. Coben does not waste time but manipulates it with images which are created by sharp prose.

Actress, Julia Roberts, read the book in two days and decided she wanted to direct and star in the movie version. This is Coben’s first novel from the viewpoint of a female protagonist and will be enjoyed by women as much as men. Maya is the kind of central character who causes readers to pull for and go eagerly with as she tries to find the truth.

The word which best describes this read is entrancing.

It will be talked about enthusiastically by all who read it, and those who have not tried it will be left out of the discussion. The question is: how many times will you, the reader, be fooled?

county perspective North Carolina Plan to Widen the Gap As America’s ‘Most Military Friendly State’ TWO IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS related to the importance of the North Carolina’s “military sector” were published this spring and will be helpful to members of the General Assembly who are now meeting in Raleigh for the short session of the legislature … and have pledged to do whatever it takes for North Carolina to become even more military friendly.

The NC Military Affairs Commission (NCMAC) has produced a 19-page action plan to “Support and Enhance North Carolina Military Missions and Installations.” It confirms the military is big business in North Carolina and a powerful economic driver.

The military sector contributes about $66 billion a year to North Carolina’s economy, representing 15 percent of the gross state product. The military is the second leading industry in North Carolina. Agriculture is first; tourism is third.

“Our report lays out recommendations that accelerate and fortify North Carolina’s support for its military installations, military families and all of the supporting businesses and infrastructure required to keep the state a leader in military preparedness for decades to come,” said Maj. Gen. Cornell Wilson Jr., Secretary of Military and Veterans Affairs.

Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point is prominently mentioned in the NCMAC report. It is the largest Marine air station in the world and the home base for the 2nd Marine Air Wing.

Additionally, Fleet Readiness Center East (FRC East) aboard Cherry Point is the nation’s “Vertical Lift Center of Excellence” and the largest industrial employer east of I-95.

The second document of note is the Cherry Point Regional Joint Land Use Study (JLUS). This project was spearheaded

by Carteret County government to look for ways to enhance the sustainability of operations at Cherry Point and avoid encroachment on MCAS Cherry Point and its training sites in Carteret County. In contrast, this document is 233 pages; access it at www.cherrypointjlus.com.

The “financial force” of Cherry Point is clearly important to the economic stability of eastern North Carolina. Cherry Point’s

overall economic impact for fiscal year 2015 was $2.01 billion.

Total employment at Cherry Point is 14,234 (military and civilian staff combined). However, there are 53,418 people who are connected to Cherry Point as active-duty personnel and retirees as well as family members.

Of that 53,418 figure, 9,991 people reside in Carteret County.

Carteret County’s total population is estimated to be 69,350, so 14.4 percent of the county’s residents are directly dependent on Cherry Point for their livelihood.

Today, Cherry Point directly employs 1,926 citizens of Carteret County, which makes Cherry Point the largest single employer of Carteret County residents.

When it comes time for another round of BRAC (Base Closure and Realignment Commission) or US Dept. of Defense downsizing, the connectivity between the military and its home community and the region is an important factor that is carefully scrutinized.

Love for one’s military base alone is not enough, however, and the BRAC process places greater emphasis on what are base communities doing to guard against encroachment on military operations.

“Development pressures in areas bordering the military installations can create circumstances that, if left unexamined, result in serious impediments to the normal military function of the military base,” the JLUS team reported. “Poor planning can also result in long-term discomfort realized by residents and businesses” outside the fence.

The JLUS report is the blueprint. Implementation of the JLUS recommendations can give Carteret County and the entire region a gold star. We need to be stellar in this regard.

The JLUS team paid close attention to the military training sites located within Carteret County. We’ll go there next month.

ISLAND REVIEW 15

chamber connection Chamber Reaffirms Opposition to Seismic Blasting ALTHOUGH THE FEDERAL government has delayed by at least five years the issuance of oil and gas leases for drilling in the North Atlantic Ocean, the threat of seismic blasting continues to linger.

The Carteret County Chamber of Commerce is recommending that the US Dept. of the Interior move swiftly to ban seismic survey work as well.

The Chamber’s Board of Directors voted unanimously Sept. 5, 2015, to adopt a “Resolution to Oppose Exploration for Oil & Gas and Seismic Blasting Off the Coast of North Carolina.”

“Offshore exploration … and associated seismic blasting … represent a direct threat to the coastal environment of North Carolina, by creating the risk of pollution and by causing harmful effects to marine mammals, turtles, fish, migratory birds and other aquatic life,” the Chamber stated.

“While we are grateful the Obama administration listened to part of the message – the risks of pollution to potentially destroy tourism and the environment – the chamber remains opposed to seismic blasting,” said Chamber Chair Bucky Oliver.

“The scientific data show seismic blasting causes underwater, industrial-level noise impacts that are stressful to right whales. The effects are hazardous to the health and fitness of these whales and impairs their reproduction, as is documented by a drastic and dramatic drop in calving rates since 1998,” he said.

“The right whale is already among the most endangered whales on the planet, with only about 500 individuals remaining. Scientists tell us that seismic blasting may well represent a tipping point for the survival of this endangered whale, leading to eventual extinction.

“We understand that the next whale status review by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is scheduled for 2017.

“The responsible solution is to stop seismic test permitting now and to reassess the situation after NOAA completes the whale review,” Oliver said.

A bill has been introduced in the US Senate to “prohibit any and all seismic activity” off the East Coast of the United States. It is S. 2841, titled the Atlantic Seismic Airgun Protection (ASAP) Act, to amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. The chamber has encouraged North Carolina’s US. Sens.

Richard Burr and Thom Tillis, to “co-sponsor and support this ASAP bill … ASAP,” Oliver said.

Right Whale Is Near and Dear to Carteret County If seismic blasting is allowed to occur in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina, it could wipe out the remaining population of right whales.

This is the learned opinion of 28 marine scientists who say the loud noise generated by seismic, underwater testing would be gravely harmful to the health of the whales. Dr. Doug Nowacek, an associate professor at the Duke University Marine Lab in Beaufort, is one of the 28 researchers who signed a letter to President Barack Obama recently, asking him to put an immediate halt to seismic blasting.

Dr. Nowacek says loud noise cause stress to right whales.

Too much stress could be fatal to the survival of the species.

Dr. Nowacek mentioned that the Carteret County Coat of Arms prominently features two right whales. Indeed it does.

Perhaps Carteret County officials will join in a communitywide effort to protect the whales, thereby avoiding the need to have to go back to the College of Arms in London, England, and pay to get a new one made, should the right whale become extinct.

The silver diamonds on the shield are representative of the Coat of Arms of the original Sir George Carteret family. He was one of the eight Lord Proprietors of Carolina, so named

by King Charles II in 1668. (Carteret County was named for John Carteret, grandson of Sir George.) The black tridents are representative of Neptune, Roman god of the sea.

The yale is a mythical heraldic beast atop the helmet. On the Carteret County Coat of Arms, this creature has a body of an antelope with curved horns and a lion’s tale.

The black right whales appear quite jovial and are there as “supporters,” appropriate for an oceanside community like Carteret County. (The “supporters” come from the practice of a Knight’s aides dressing in various animal costumes to attract challenges at tournaments. Today, one assumes these roles would be filled by various county government department heads.)

The unveiling of the Carteret County Coat of Arms occurred in 1977, and today it is displayed in the County Courthouse in Beaufort.

It may also be a fiscally prudent act by the county commissioners to join in the movement to save the right whales.

The going rate charged by the College of Arms for a new Coat of Arms, as advertised on its official website, is 12,100 British Pounds Sterling. At press time, the conversion to US currency was $17,627.41.

June 2016

Town Hall, 7500 Emerald Drive Emerald Isle, NC 28594 252-354-3424 • Fax 252-354-5068 Official Website: www.emeraldisle-nc.org Published Monthly by the town of Emerald Isle for its Residents, Property Owners & Visitors Composed by Frank Rush, Town Manager

What is the Town of Emerald Isle All About?

ALL OF US at the Town of Emerald Isle understand and recognize what a special place Emerald Isle is, and we all work very hard to make it even better! We strive to continually improve our services, infrastructure and amenities to promote the highest possible quality of life for our residents, and to position Emerald Isle as a premier tourism, retirement, and second-home destination.

The town’s efforts are guided by the mayor and board of commissioners’ policies and directives, and these policies and directives are ultimately rooted in the entire community’s needs, desires and goals. The town relies on input from many sources to address community concerns and move the town forward, while also adhering to several basic principles that are outlined in two documents that summarize the town’s overall approach: 1) the town’s vision statement outlined in the 2004 CAMA Land Use Plan – located at www.emeraldisle-nc.org/data/ sites/1/media/pdfs/vision-statement---2004-cama-land-use-plan-2.pdf and 2) the memo outlining the town’s “fundamental focus” – located at www.emeraldisle-nc.org/data/sites/1/media/pdfs/ fundamental-focus.pdf. If you are a long-time Emerald Isle resident, property owner or visitor, we hope that you’ve observed the implementation of these principles over the years. If you are relatively new to Emerald Isle, we hope that sharing these documents with you will provide a better understanding of exactly what the Town of Emerald Isle is all about, and that we will be able to enrich your experience in Emerald Isle.

From time to time it’s important for all of us to pause and reflect on just how incredibly fortunate we are to be in Emerald Isle. We could not ask for a more beautiful natural environment, the community of people in Emerald Isle is outstanding, and collectively we are blessed with relative wealth and good fortune. Although our problems and concerns are certainly valid, and our challenges may at times seem significant, it is important to remember just how fortunate we all are compared to many communities in North Carolina, the United States, and the world. We are all truly blessed to be able to enjoy Emerald Isle!

Download the New “Emerald Isle App” The new “Emerald Isle App” is complete, and beginning May 16 it can be downloaded for free at The App Store (for Apple devices) and at Google Play (for Android devices). The new app is designed to make it easy for our residents and visitors to locate the terrific local businesses in Emerald Isle, find out where to stay, eat and shop, learn about things to do and special events, and locate beach and sound access points and town parks. The new app also includes a “postcard” feature – take a great shot of family and friends in Emerald Isle, add the Emerald Isle frame, and then send it off or post to social media sites!

The new app is also designed to make it easy for our residents and visitors to learn about and communicate with town government. Special buttons provide the latest town news, meetings of interest and other important town government information. The new “Let Us Know” button 24 ISLAND REVIEW

June 2016

enables our residents and visitors to report concerns to town staff in a quick and easy format, enables the quick attachment of a photo, and also identifies the location of the concern.

We hope that this new tool will make it easier for our residents and visitors to communicate with town staff, and that it will ultimately enable town staff to respond more efficiently to concerns.

FY 16-17 Recommended Budget Presented The town manager’s FY 16-17 Recommended Budget was formally presented to Mayor Barber and the board of commissioners at the May 10 town meeting. The board will now review the Recommended Budget in June, direct any desired adjustments, and is then expected to adopt the town’s official FY 16-17 budget at the June 14 town meeting.

The Recommended Budget is available for public review at www. emeraldisle-nc.org/ data/sites/1/media/ pdfs/financial/fy-16-17recommended-budgetfull-book-without-cover.

pdf. The total Recommended Budget is $9.45 million, which is 1.9% more than the originally adopted FY 15-16 budget.

The Recommended Budget does not include any property tax or fee increases of any kind, thus keeping the cost of town government the same in FY 16-17 for our taxpayers.

2016 Marathon Races Raise $52,000!

The 2016 Emerald Isle Marathon, Half-Marathon and 5K races were held in Emerald Isle on Saturday, April 9, with approximately 1,400 runners registered. Thanks to the hard work of Race Director Candace Dooley, the volunteer race committee, many dedicated volunteers and our great sponsors, the races netted a total profit of $52,000, the most ever in the 3-year history of the races. A total of $26,000 will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the remaining $26,000 will be earmarked for future bicycle path and pedestrian improvements in Emerald Isle.

Mark your calendar now for the 2017 races -- Saturday, March 25!

Beach Gear Exception Stickers Available Town ordinances prohibit unattended beach equipment from being left on the public trust beach area overnight between 8pm and 8am.

Oceanfront property owners are eligible for up to two special exception stickers to enable them to leave equipment out overnight if desired. The stickers are for oceanfront owners only and will not be issued to guests. Oceanfront property owners should contact town administration building staff at 252-3543424 for details. To access a copy of the application, please visit www.emeraldisle-nc.org/beach-regulations-information.

The town has previously issued special exception stickers to many oceanfront property owners, and previously issued stickers will be honored by town staff enforcing this ordinance during summer 2016.

Beach Access Parking Permits Available Now

Work continues on the development of the Town’s 2016 Comprehensive Plan/Land Use Plan update. A special website for the planning effort allows our residents, property owners and visitors to follow the progress and offer input into the development of the plan, and can be viewed at www. emeraldisle-nc.org or directly at www.planei.org. The special website will include all information associated with the new plan, including meeting dates, meeting minutes, draft policies and maps, and more.

The town will be conducting an online survey in the coming weeks, and we urge everyone who cares about the future of Emerald Isle to participate. More details will be provided in future editions of Emerald Tidings.

Due to the significant town investment to acquire the land and construct the two regional beach access facilities, town property taxpayers are eligible for 2 free annual parking permits for the Eastern Ocean Regional Access and Western Ocean Regional Access.

The parking permits will be granted only for vehicles registered in the name of the taxpayer, and are not transferable. Town taxpayers must display the appropriate permit sticker on their windshield in order to avoid the parking fee. The permit sticker cannot be obtained at the regional beach access facilities, and must be obtained prior to visiting the facilities. To obtain your free parking permit, please visit (7509 Emerald Drive) or call (252-354-3424) the town administration building during normal business hours.

Please note that you will need to bring your vehicle registration with you when applying for your permit. To access a copy of the application, please visit www.emeraldisle-nc.org/ beach-regulations-information.

We will also be sending out “push” notifications on the new Emerald Isle App this summer.

If you don’t already have your hurricane re-entry permit (used to allow property owners and residents back onto the island in the event of significant damage and prolonged closure of Emerald Isle to the general public), please make sure you visit or call the Town Administration Building, 7509 Emerald Drive, 252-354-3424, long before a storm threatens Emerald Isle.

club news Emerald Isle Garden Club Wins Multiple State Awards THE ANNUAL MEETING of the Garden Club of North Carolina (GCNC) was held April 17-19 at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel in Durham. Emerald Isle Garden Club was represented by its current president, Jenny Marlowe, and incoming president, Tula Satterfield. Among a flurry of workshops, flower shows, luncheons and featured speakers, the GCNC also presented awards in numerous categories for outstanding achievement during the past year.

Emerald Isle Garden Club accepted eight first place awards, 14 awards total, plus $150 in prize money – a tremendous showing for the year. First place finishes included the Pat Rodgers Landscape Design Award; Best 25 Year History Award; Rowena P. Sewell Blue Star Memorial Award; Sylvia Gatzy Outstanding Mentoring Award; Hannah McNeil McMillan Arbor Day Award; and Jennifer Corser Blog and Social Media Award.

Tula Satterfield was awarded a Special Achievement Award for outstanding

work by a garden club member that best meets the objectives of the GCNC. Club member Bobbi Strope was awarded the Best Lifetime Membership Award for outstanding gardening activities over a period of years.

Of special note was the secondplace award presented to Emerald Isle Garden Club’s youth group, the Green Thumbs, for Best All-Around Club. The Green Thumbs Youth Garden Club was established in 2015 and won this award in its first year.

Emerald Isle Mayor Eddie Barber publicly recognized Emerald Isle Garden Club in November 2015 for their longstanding efforts to beautify the town and make it a better place to work and live.

The recognition of the club’s outstanding 2015 achievements only reinforces and strengthens its commitment to the community.

ONE WAY FOLKS can be sure that summer is back in full swing along the Crystal Coast is the volume of opportunities for free music. There’s something almost magical about sitting next to the water, a breeze rippling your hair and the sounds of music wafting along on the breeze. And for those of us lucky enough to spend time along the Crystal Coast, there are plenty of opportunities to do just that each spring and summer.

First up this month is a new addition to the summer calendar – the first Crystal Coast Music Festival, planned for Saturday, June 4, on Atlantic Beach. Headlined by national recording artist Third Eye Blind, the day-long event also features alternative artist Robert DeLong, Judah & the Lion and opening act, Amasa Hines. Commercially successful in the 1990s, folks may remember Third Eye Blind’s smash hit “Semi-Charmed Life” as well as “Jumper” and “How’s it Going to Be.” According to the band’s website, it has sold about 12 million records worldwide since its first release in 1993.

“We’re thrilled to infuse the destination’s vibrant music culture with our southern charm during this toes-in-the-sand event,” said Carol Lohr, executive director of the Crystal Coast Tourism Development Authority. “This inaugural music festival is sure to set the stage for years to come of well-known and up-and-coming acts.”

Ticket are on sale now. General admission is $18 per person with upgraded VIP tickets available for $75. VIP tickets include preferred entry, viewing areas and exclusive cash bar and restrooms. Day-of general admission tickets will be sold for $23. Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster or by calling 800-745-3000.

For more information on the Crystal Coast Music Festival, visit ww.crystalcoastmusicfest.org.

Not your cup of tea? No worries, there is a little bit of everything on tap in the various concert programs offered throughout the county each summer. From the Morehead City waterfront to the beach in Emerald Isle, music is one thing there is plenty of as the weather warms in Carteret County, and variety, well, that’s just the spice of life Downtown Morehead City Revitalization’s Alive at Five program holds concerts during the warmer months at the perfect time for a little rest and relaxation – the end of the work week.

Add Adventures to Your Summer

DIVE INTO OCEAN conservation on World Oceans Day on June 8. Enjoy sea-themed games and activities while finding out simple ways you can help the oceans and their inhabitants.

Daily programs include twice-daily dive presentations in the Living Shipwreck and animal feedings. Creature features and animal encounters are offered daily at various locales throughout the aquarium. The river otters take the spotlight in morning programs on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Take your visit to new heights with a twice-daily bird show, Bird’s-Eye View, now free with admission. In addition to owls, pelicans and other raptors and water birds native to North Carolina, three sun conures take to the air in Big Rock Theater. Though native to South America, sun conures are related to the extinct Carolina parakeet. Facebook fans helped choose fitting names for the brightly colored birds – Kiwi, Papaya and Mango.

Add to your aquarium experience with a variety of programs, each offered at a small cost in addition to admission, starting the week of June 6. Choose from five sessions weekly of stand-up paddle boarding – two of them customized for kids ages 6 and up. The aquarium furnishes the boards and instruction. Bogue Sound provides the saltwater and spectacular views.

Fishing, kayak and canoe excursions, marsh treks, evening beach hikes, clamming and crabbing expeditions, and other outdoor adventures also are available weekly in the summer. The activity fees cover any supplies and equipment needed.

For hot or rainy days, choose a behind-the-scenes tour that suits your interests – general tours that cover some of everything, an otter-oriented tour, one that includes feeding sharks or one that involves feeding fish.

For the small fry ages 2-5, Aquarium ABCs includes outdoor activities, crafts and animal encounters. Camps for kids in grades K-8 are scheduled throughout the summer ask about openings.

Check the website for the full activities schedule and minimum age requirements. Be sure to sign up ahead of time.

Advance registration is required for fee-based programs.

Sea Turtles Get the Spotlight This summer, follow the journey of loggerhead sea turtles and even speak with one, in the newly renovated Loggerhead Odyssey exhibit at the aquarium. Watch as a tiny turtle hatches on a North Carolina beach and crawls to the ocean. Meet a hatchling that’s being rehabilitated at the aquarium. Step into an immersive deep sea setting and find out how far sea turtles travel, and the huge threats they face – primarily from plastic pollution. Join our challenge to go a day without disposable plastics and help save sea turtles.

Younger visitors can test their turtle knowledge with interactive games.

Then, stop by Caretta’s Cove and talk with a turtle. The new digital puppetry theater features a spunky Southern female loggerhead, named Caretta. The charming and beautiful, forever 29-year-old sea turtle has traveled the Atlantic Ocean far and wide. She will share her experiences and take questions from visitors several times a day.

Recognize and Prevent Repetitive Stress Injuries REPETITIVE STRESS INJURIES, or RSIs, can impact muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves.

Though The Mayo Clinic estimates that three million people in the United States are affected by such injuries, some may not fully understand just how they reached a point where they are suffering from an RSI. RSIs are a condition that occurs when too much stress is placed on one part of the body, typically a joint, over and over again, resulting in inflammation and potential tissue damage, generally through repeating the movement again and again. It comes as no surprise then that RSIs are commonly experienced by athletes and office workers.

The elderly are most affected by RSIs, but these types of injuries are also known to occur in younger adults and children. They tend to develop over time and can go unnoticed in their early stages.

Prevention is the best defense against RSIs. Start by using proper equipment at all times to help keep the body protected and in neutral positions. Such equipment may include support devices for wrists or knees, and shoes that fit well and provide ample support. Athletes should make sure their gear is properly sized to their bodies. Using the wrong size tennis racket, for example, may contribute to elbow strain when serving and hitting.

Proper nutrition also is key. Consuming the right foods is essential to developing and maintaining strong muscles, which help support joints in the body. Speak with a doctor or nutritionist if you suspect your diet has room for improvement.

RSIs can be troublesome for office workers.

Maintaining neutral body positioning is the best defense against pain and injury, according to the pain prevention resource Tifaq.com. The site suggests following these procedures in addition to stretching and exercising at the office: ■ Keep your head level, forward facing and in line with your torso.

■ Feet should be flat on the floor or on a footrest.

■ Shoulders can be relaxed and arms hanging normally at your sides.

Your elbows should be at about 90-degree angles.

■ Support your back with a lumbar support or a small pillow.

■ Sit vertically or lean back slightly while at your desk.

■ Keep frequently used items close by so you do not need to stretch.

■ Position your monitor so it is directly in front of you and at eye level.

■ Take frequent breaks to stretch or take a walk around the office.

Examples of RSIs include carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, and trigger finger. Always consult with a doctor if pain from routine activities is persistent. Individuals may benefit from working with a physical therapist to learn strategies to avoid RSI activities.

ISLAND REVIEW 41

ATLANTIC BEACH

mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notes Biking and Walking Atlantic Beach ATLANTIC BEACH IS a small town beach at heart. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also a pretty small town geographically. Far from a sprawling suburban community where one needs a car to get anywhere, we are a town where you should be able to get everywhere you want to go on bike or on foot.

A few years ago we developed a bike plan for the town with the help of the NC Dept. of Transportation. We knew the plan would lead to a long term effort that would be implemented over many years. One of the challenges addressed in our plan was working with Hwy 58 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the five-lane highway that runs the length of Atlantic Beach. This critical automobile corridor presents two obstacles to bikes and pedestrians. First, crossing Hwy 58 is difficult, and secondly, the width of the road through the center of town leaves very little room on the shoulder for sidewalks or bike paths.

Our bike plan suggests additional crossing areas in strategic locations. Adding stoplights is not practical, but with the help of the NC DOT we continue to work on solutions to make crosswalks more visible to motorists and safer for pedestrians.

My hope is that most of our future crossings, and some of our existing ones, can include â&#x20AC;&#x153;islands of refuge.â&#x20AC;? These are small, landscaped traffic islands located in the turning lane to provide pedestrians a safe place to stand when crossing. Our first example of this is on the west side of town at the Doubletree

)UHH (VWLPDWHV

Hotel and it has made for a much safer crossing in that area.

We do not have many options when it comes Mayor Trace Cooper to the width of Hwy 58 through the center of town. The road widens to allow for additional turning lanes needed to handle the volume of cars that pass through our main intersection. As such, there is no right-of-way for use as sidewalks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right-of-wayâ&#x20AC;? is the term used for the area on the edge of a road owned by a state or town that can be used for sidewalks and utilities. Without a right-of-way, we have no room to carve out bike paths or sidewalks.

But, we have a plan to address this issue by directing bikes and pedestrians on a short detour off of Hwy 58 in the center of town and along much safer streets to the north and south of our main thoroughfare. Outside of the center of town, there is enough right of way for additional roadside improvements and we are planning on adding sections of a multi-purpose path throughout town. Budget constraints require that this path be built over time, in small segments, but it will eventually be an important link that serves all of Atlantic Beach.

Over the coming years, you will see crosswalk improvements, new wayfinding signage and sidewalk and bike path improvements. They may at first seem sporadic and disconnected, but please understand they are part of a plan to address the walkability of Atlantic Beach and that we are executing the plan one step (or one pedal) at a time.

Break Ground with the Right Tools

International Award Winning Artist

www.irenebailey.com

THE RIGHT TOOLS for the job can be the difference between an interminable landscaping project and one that goes smoothly and efficiently. Aspiring landscapers probably have a few shovels and rakes hanging in their garages and sheds for basic landscaping work. But while such tools are effective for certain projects, when it comes to churning soil for garden beds or digging holes for outdoor structures, additional tools come in handy. It may be well worth a trip to a nearby home center to purchase or rent one of these tools ideal for breaking ground.

Rototiller A rototiller, sometimes called just a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tiller,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a powered garden tool designed to loosen soil prior to planting. A rototiller also can help aerate soil during the growing season. Because they reduce the need for manual spade digging or hoeing, tillers can be useful landscaping tools, particularly for homeowners who want to work efficiently.

Rototillers will break through tough soil and any plant roots.

They come in a variety of sizes, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to match the tool to the size of the job. Many homeowners can get by with smaller, less powerful models, especially if the tiller is only necessary at the beginning of planting season. Professional landscapers or those with large swatches of property may benefit from larger models.

Auger Augers, both mechanical and manual, are essentially large drill bits that help move materials from one location to another.

Augers are typically used to cut holes in landscapes, and they are good for post-hole drilling, which is part of the process of installing deck footings, fencing posts or other structures. Augers come in a variety of sizes, and homeowners can choose how much power they prefer. Augers can be heavy and cumbersome, and many do-it-yourselfers will find that one-person augers are more than adequate for their projects.

Augers dig deep holes, so it is always smart to have the property surveyed prior to use. This way pipes, gas lines, buried electrical lines, and any other obstructions are clearly identified prior to drilling.

Cultivator Cultivators are similar to tillers in that they loosen soil. Cultivators are effective during the growth period of plants, when they can be used to aerate the soil and remove weeds. Cultivators come in hand-held versions and push models, and some are even motorized. Cultivators get close to plants to remove weeds without disturbing the plant. They also are used to stir in compost or fertilizer.

While many people think cultivators and tillers are the same, that is not the case. The former is less powerful and will mix the soil or stir up the top layer, while the latter can break up moderately hard ground and loosen firm soil.

When using any tools around the garden, wear the proper protection. This includes devices to protect hearing when power tools are in use as well as gloves and safety goggles. Tillers, augers and cultivators have the potential to toss soil and rocks into the air, so make sure others keep their distance while work is in progress.

free of hazards. The inspector did find that the starboard running light was out when the navigation lights were turned on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is probably a quick fix,â&#x20AC;? explained Cdr. Aitken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our salt water environment may have just corroded the bulbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contacts.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Jones had the housing off, cleaned the bulb and socket contacts, and had it working in minutes. The remaining required and recommended VSC items were quickly completed, and the red 2016 Vessel Safety Check decal was awarded.

The same day, Mayor Ken Jones invited Past Commander â&#x20AC;&#x153;JBâ&#x20AC;?

Bagby and Cdr. Aitken to his house and Pine Knoll Shores canal for an inspection of his 25-foot Catalina.

The vessel safety check program helps to achieve voluntary compliance with federal and state recreational boating safety laws, particularly regarding the carriage of safety equipment. It also raises boatersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; awareness of safety issues through one-onone contact by vessel examiners. The VSC decal is jointly issued by certified Vessel Examiners (VEs) of the US Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary and the US Power Squadrons with the logos of the three organizations on it. Examinations are both voluntary and free. Discrepancies will not be reported to law enforcement authorities. VSC decals are a good way to show the public that the boat owner is complying with boating safety regulations.

In addition to participating in the program, Mayors Jerry Jones and Ken Jones signed Proclamations of National Safe Boating Week in their towns and along the Crystal Coast beginning a year-long effort to promote safe boating practices. To get a VSC for your vessel, visit cgaux.org/vsc.

Mayor Ken Jones, Pine Knoll Shores, has Past Commander â&#x20AC;&#x153;JBâ&#x20AC;? Bagby, left, and Cdr. Dave Aitken to inspect his personal vessel. ron Cdr. Dave Aitken checked each boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s registration, display of numbers, visual distress signals, life jackets and navigation lights. Some required items depend upon the length of the boat and type of propulsion. While not required to get a Vessel Safety Check (VSC) decal, Cdr Aitken discussed the benefits of carrying a marine radio, having an anchor and enough line to reach about seven times the depth to the bottom, as well as a first aid kit, among other topics.

Fort Macon Squadron Commander Dave Aitken inspected Morehead City Mayor Jerry Jones 24-foot Pursuit outboard at his marina. The vessel had current registration and displayed corresponding numbers on the bow, carried required safety equipment in good condition, and the deck and bilges were clean and

PINE KNOLL SHORES

mayor’s notes June on the Go THE FIRST PART of June is always an exciting time in Pine Knoll Shores! The 9th annual Kayak for the Warriors (K4W) will be held the first weekend in June, the 4th. The events surrounding the main Kayak Event are drawing as big a crowd as the actual race itself!

Last year you raised over $70,000! Once again we have an all-volunteer team, with three team captains, one for each of the three events. On Saturday, May 28, the 5k Run was held at the beach near the Clamdigger. The silent auction and the live auction will start at 6pm on Thursday, June 2 and once again it will be held at the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. The signature event is held on Saturday, June 4at Garner Park.

One of my favorite things is when folks are waving and cheering along the canal during the big kayak event. I particularly like the water hose treatment! A huge “thank you” to the PIKSCO Homeowners’ Association and the Beacons Reach Master Association for the use of their facilities!

As I write this we are heading into the final stretch of the 2016-17 town budget process. Again, your board of commissioners and town staff have done a yeoman’s task of putting together a balanced budget and keeping the tax rate steady.

That said, with inflation and the ever changing economic and political climate, we may have some tough decisions to make in the future. The budget year starts on July 1.

At our last “Dinner with the Mayor” event, I heard a lot of

56 ISLAND REVIEW

June 2016

concerns over activities that are too frequently happening in our town. We have tried to address every single one of them.

Mayor Ken Jones There were quite a number of people on the beach today and I noticed several of the items I have heard concerns about.

I saw a gentleman walking “with” his dog. Dogs are required to be on a leash. I’m reminded and hearing more and more about towns making a law against dogs on the beach.

Help us help you, and please keep your pooch on a leash.

I also saw a big hole that had been dug in the sand. These are dangerous and need to be filled in before leaving the site. We do have an ordinance against leaving these holes and you can get a ticket. During water rescue operations that hole could make the difference between life and death. IN addition, please stay off of all dunes. As taxpayers you know the dunes aren’t cheap, and they are our front-line defense against storms.

Please be aware of vehicles traveling in our neighborhoods.

Walking no more than two abreast will help keep you and others safe. Single file keeps the drivers from worrying about hitting a pedestrian. No one wants that.

Enjoy our summer season … this is the time we were all looking forward to in February! To our many volunteers, thank you for everything you consistently do for our entire town!

One team, One town, One Pine Knoll Shores!

PKS Women’s Club

ON MAY 11 MEMBERS of the Pine Knoll Shores Garden Club were invited to tour Garner Farms in Newport. At the conclusion of the tour, they adjourned to The Infusion Café in Morehead City for lunch.

It was a very different scene indeed on April 13 when members came dressed in old jeans, sweats, hoodies, sneakers, sweaters and caps, ready to tackle the town’s six gardens under the direction of Martha Edwards, Karen Zenker, Lana Hathaway, Barbara Yankauskas, Susan King, and Lois Jean O’Keefe.

Martha Edwards assigned helpers for each garden and issued reflective safety vests. Lois Jean and Jan Corsello instead, set about clearing the spillway in front of town hall from several years buildup of debris and very vigorous weeds. In every garden, pulling up pennywort is an ever ending job. A truckload of pine straw was laid down to cover several gardens by the garden club workers to help keep moisture from evaporating from the soil, especially during our hot North Carolina summers. Other workers planted bright summer zinnias and pansies.

Immediately following the work hours, members were treated to a delicious luncheon at the beautiful home of member Gini Stambaugh, which is on the water next to Hall Haven Marina, prepared by Gini, Helvi Larsen, Linda Langley and Barbara Williams. The centerpiece in the food area was an impossibly beautiful, very large and delectable bouquet, consisting of two dozen shish kabobs, each containing a giant strawberry, blackberry, white grape, raspberry, red grape and blueberry, with a wisp of kale and a tiny white daisy at each tip. Lovely green kale created a colorful base. Member JoAnn Shallcoss was the ingenious chef who created this marvelous bouquet.

At dessert time, members celebrated two birthdays, Barbara Miner and Karen Zaenker with a delicious birthday cake baked by member Donna Belanger At the brief business meeting before members disbursed to their stations, Karen Zenker announced that the May bus trip to Raleigh had been cancelled. Instead, the club plans a greenhouse tour of Garner Farms in Newport and lunch at the Infusion Café in Morehead City. Arlene Terrell shared with members that after the addition of latest member, Joan Flexman from Pennsylvania, the club’s membership now stands at 40.

Arleen Graczewski, the chairman of the Blue Star Memorial project announced that she had contacted the North Carolina Garden Club, the Dept. of Transportation and officials of the Town of Pine Knoll Shores about the proposed project and had received many volunteers to help with future work that such an important project entailed.

Jeanette Jenkins is preparing a Pine Knoll Shores Garden Club website on Facebook and requested photos from members to post on the site. On June 8 the annual installation luncheon will be held at the Coral Bay Club in Morehead City.

Meetings are held at town hall every second Wednesday of the month at 9:30am for refreshments, followed at 10 by the program of the day. Guests and visitors are always welcome to attend.

By Clare Winslow

It’s beach weather on Bogue Banks. Are you afraid to go into water? Do you have a Jaws-inspired concern that if you swim in the ocean you’ll become a tasty meal for a passing shark?

Hap Fatzinger, director of the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, spoke to the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club at its April meeting providing factual information concerning our local marine environment. There is a delicate balance, he said, in the marine ecosystem that is disrupted by over-fishing, climate change, increased recreational activity in and on the water and cyclical changes in the feeding patterns of marine life. Understanding these factors helps us adopt behaviors that will make our own forays into the ocean a safer experience.

Humans are not the natural food for sharks, but as sharks venture closer to shore in search of food they can become confused by human activity in the surf and what might result is a case of mistaken identity. Bite incidents are rare and the shark population is actually decreasing due to human activity. Smaller sharks are on the increase and larger sharks are on the decline.

He explained that the Asian population’s demand for shark fins, which can command over $900/pound, has created a massive decimation of the shark population which in turn has upset the balance of marine life causing incremental and far-reaching changes in the food chain. Coupled with the effects of climate change on water temperature many shark species are venturing outside their usual range for feeding.

Fatzinger went on to describe the aquarium’s current work on supporting sustainable US-based fisheries and its shark research and other programs aimed at restoring our oceans.

He encouraged the group to support local, sustainable fisheries; eat at restaurants that serve local seafood and challenge chefs to use local fish.

Also, we can safely enjoy summertime at the beach if we remember that when we venture into the water we are guests of the marine life that make the ocean their home. A common sense approach to sharing the ocean with marine life will lessen one’s chances of an unpleasant encounter with a confused shark or other marine life.

Simple precautions include the following: • • •

Don’t swim at dawn or at dusk, Stay out of the water if you have a cut or are bleeding, If you see a lot of bait fish swimming around, or spot dolphins, stay away • Avoid swimming near fishing piers – fishing bait and fish guts attract bull sharks.

• Don’t wear shiny objects in the water During the club’s business meeting, President Peggy Knecht outlined the proposed charitable donations. The 2016 organizations receiving funds will include the Friends of the Bogue Banks Library, the Broad Street Clinic, Mile of Hope, Boys & Girls Clubs, PKS Fire Department and Caroline’s House.

On June 3 the Women’s Club will hold its Installation Luncheon at the Coral Bay Club. Monthly club meetings resume in September. Membership is open to all female residents of Pine Knoll Shores. Meetings are usually held the fourth Friday of the month.

rental signs Why We Love Calling North Carolina Home IT IS TURTLE season again on Bogue Banks and time for my solitary, early morning walks. As the days grow longer, dawn is the most tranquil time on the beach. Walking and searching for the tell tale markings that a sea turtle mama has chosen our North Carolina beach for her nest of eggs is very meditative as I glance to the dune line, my gaze sweeping the beach and then back to the sea, hoping for the joyful leap of a dolphin. Prayerfully, I offer a glance heavenward in thanks for this peaceful morning. North Carolina has always been my home. This beautiful island has sheltered me for most of my years and walking her beaches is my soul time, my contemplative moment to muse about the goings on of life.

In recent weeks, it has been difficult for this North Carolina gal and many others as we watched in dismay the hurried passage of House Bill 2. We have heard from equally dismayed rental guests who have chosen to cancel their reservations for their beach cottage this summer because they are hurt that North Carolina would discriminate in any way. Since our beginnings in 1962, my family business, Emerald Isle Realty, has welcomed everyone and we always will. The North Carolina I love calling home has always embraced our friends and family members who in gentler times we would have called spinsters or confirmed bachelors; folks who were the closest of friends, and perhaps companionably, shared a home. My North Carolina loves our eccentric aunties and colorful, dapper, quintessential southern gentlemen uncles.

Showing our true character as North Carolinians, we emerged from the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s as one of the most progressive of the southern states with faith that our love and acceptance for all of our neighbors, as well as (Continued from page 30)

Amidst a beautiful historic backdrop, the Friends of Fort Macon hold a popular annual summer concert series.

a strong investment in public schools and outstanding universities, would ensure our economic stability and success.

Tourism was part of that success story then and still is today.

For now, those of us in the tourism sector find it hard to be patient as we see all the good will we have built up over years of offering our North Carolina brand of southern hospitality – from the mountains to the sea – is being diminished by those who now perceive our state as being discriminatory, fearful of or antagonistic to those in the LGBTQ communities. Perhaps our Realtor Code of Ethics says it best for us in the vacation rental industry. In a recent NC REALTORS Government Affairs Update they posted this reminder that we were not bound by HB 2: We know that North Carolina has received national scrutiny over the recent enactment of House Bill 2. NC REALTORS is carefully reviewing the legislation and consulting with leadership about its potential effects. However, we do want to assure you that this bill does not affect our REALTORS Code of Ethics or our forms. In fact, HB 2 specifically gives trade associations like ours the ability to establish any nondiscrimination policies we choose, thus providing NAR and NC REALTORS protection from government intrusion into our Code of Ethics or forms. NC REALTORS adhere to a Code of Ethics which prohibits discrimination against anyone, including those in the LGBTQ community. We continue to respect all persons and our industry will assist with the real estate needs of all who call North Carolina home or who choose to do business here.

I love calling North Carolina home and I suspect you do as well. I know our governor and our legislators love North Carolina as much as I do and I pray that they will reconsider and repeal this legislation very soon, perhaps even by the time this monthly Island Review goes to press. We are a goodly land, and we are our best as North Carolinians when we apply the Golden Rule and truly welcome everyone.

That is the North Carolina I love.

JUNE ARIES (March 21-April 20) Aries, you may desire to be somewhere else as the month begins, but responsibilities keep you close to home. You can still have a good time and make lasting memories.

Communication between you and another is a bit stilted. You need to find a new strategy to introduce the topics you want to discuss.

You might be motivated to explore new relationships, but be careful to do so without jeopardizing existing relationships. Speak about your plans with others as you work things through. As the month closes, try finding a few days to get away will offer the brief respite you need to get energized.

LEO (July 23-August 23) Leo, realizing your dreams is fully within your capabilities. Make a commitment now and stick with it. You have to work hard to get what you desire, but it’s within reach. Happiness for you comes from home and family members mid-month. Host a party or another social event to bring those closest to you together in your own home. Push past your hesitation and try something that scares you this month.

You may be surprised at how much you actually enjoy it when you give new things a chance. You may need to lend some special skills to a situation. When someone calls on you for help, accept the challenge with dignity and pride.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21) Sagittarius, you may have reached a turning point in a romantic relationship. Now is the time to fan those flames so that the relationship can grow into something special. A move or another significant life event is looming on the horizon. Make a list of changes you may need to make and ask an unbiased friend for some advice. Focus your attention on those actions that will help you be most successful. This means not getting swept up with trivial things in your path. Helping others is a big part of who you are, Sagittarius.

Every effort you put forth will come back to you in time. Enjoy all the moments you have with others.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) You initially felt good about choices you just made, but now you’re not so sure. Ask around for advice before making any final decision.

You have been juggling a lot lately, and now may be a great time to take a step back and exhale. Reevaluate your priorities during this respite. It’s best to address an uncomfortable topic or situation directly, even if you would rather sweep it under the rug. Choose your words wisely and you will get by. Taurus, professional issues may be stressful, but try to maintain a positive attitude and the issues will soon be resolved. Rely on a trusted colleague to help.

VIRGO (August 24-September 22) Virgo, after running the show, it’s now time to hand over the reins to someone else. Surrender some control and enjoy this respite from being the go-to guy or gal. Group activities and other social interactions fill your schedule early in the month, and that’s right up your alley. Friends may offer their suggestions for more fun. Do not waste too much time overanalyzing your feelings, Virgo. Trust your gut instincts because you are on the right path and you will soon realize it. Make delegation a priority at the end of the month. Spread the workload around to lessen some of your burden and to encourage others to contribute.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Lately you are more willing to take risks, Gemini. It’s fine to want to try new things, but always let reason guide you. You do not want to bite off more than you can chew. You feel physically strong and healthy this month. In fact, you may have more energy than you’ve had in a while. It won’t help with a sticky situation this month, however, but rest assured that things will work out in your favor. Do not worry about things for too long. Face tough issues head on. No matter the obstacle, you are fully capable of overcoming it. If necessary, ask for some clarification so you can better focus on the tasks at hand.

LIBRA (September 23-October 23) Your energy is focused on too many things at the moment. Focus your attention on just one thing for the time being, and your main goal will be realized. You may experience a complete change in attitude regarding someone in your life this month. The tables will be turned completely, and it may catch you off guard. Libra, take some time to smell the roses. No matter how hectic your schedule, a little time to relax and appreciate the little things is just what the doctor ordered. By the end of the month, your mind is set on a new opportunity, but you do not yet have the finances to make it happen. See if you can find an investor or another way to fund the project.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20) Keep riding this creative wave you seem to be on, Capricorn. It will take you far and in many different directions. Trust in your dreams and put a plan to realize them into action. Communication is both congenial and supportive this month. Be there for a loved one without questioning their decisions. They will appreciate the unconditional support. It might seem like progress is hard to come by lately. Find a system that works for you and you will soon start to gain some momentum.

Allow events to unfold at their own pace. It’s difficult to fully explain just how busy you are.

Start trimming your to-do list so you can maintain your energy and actively involve those around you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) The solution to a lingering problem is on the horizon, and you will get some closure. This month you will push past it all and finally move on, which puts on track for the fun and productive month ahead. Make every moment count by sharing experiences with friends or loved ones. Also, focus on some future adventures. Cancer, while you may want to steer clear of large groups mid-month, in some instances, it just may be unavoidable.

Look for friends at large gatherings and enjoy the time together. Take some time out of your schedule for a fun day trip or another spontaneous activity that enables you to escape the daily grind and unwind for a little while.

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22) You may not be up to too many trivial tasks right now, so immerse yourself in a creative project that’s more about the big picture than the small details. Spiritual and psychic matters come to the forefront this month.

You may be inspired to express yourself in meaningful ways. Or you may provide sage advice to others. Scorpio, spend some time on your own mid-month without the noises of the outside world creating any interference. It is good to recharge once in a while and clear your head. Sometimes you have to take a challenging route even though you desire the easier path. The hard work will be worth it in the end, as you will see shortly.

66 ISLAND REVIEW

June 2016

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18) Assert yourself a little more at work so that you get the respect and the recognition you deserve. When you state your case, others will see your perspective. Overall, your career is going great right now, Aquarius. Take this opportunity to ask for additional responsibilities or to ask for that well-deserved raise.

Straightforward actions will help others see your motives more clearly. Make time to share your intentions with friends or coworkers if you desire their support. Try something new at the end of the month – a hobby or activity that is out of your comfort zone. You may be surprised at how much this new hobby interests you.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Pisces, you tend to see the best in everyone and that is why you are such a good friend to so many people. Maintain your positive outlook. Plan a trip to someplace distant or exotic. Find a location on the map that appeals to you and make your adventure come to life.

Long-term planning becomes a priority in the month ahead. Put future goals that involve finances at the top of your list. There’s only so long you can put off financial concerns before they become a big problem, Pisces. Start addressing things today.
