Harbor Commission meets with Abonmarche
A
LINDA HENDERSON IN NEW BUFFALO
t their Thursday, Sept. 6, meeting, members of the New Buffalo Harbor Commission discussed revisions to the city’s Community Park, Recreation and Greenway Master Plan, which will also include a contribution from the commission. In order to qualify for grants, every five years, the city is required by the state of Michigan to have an updated master plan. Tricia Bulson of Abonmarche attended the meeting and explained that surveys will be prepared for public input on the master plan. Abonmarche is assisting in preparing the updated plan, which is due to the state by the end of 2018. Abonmarche is also conducting a survey of the Transient Marina facility for the city. All of the parks and marina facilities will be evaluated by Abonmarche for the master plan update. The commissioners expressed the need to update the Transient Marina with new electrical and bathroom facilities. New picnic tables with umbrellas and dock lines are also needed. Security was also discussed for the Transient Marina and for adjacent condominium units. The commissioners also expressed a need to upgrade the bathrooms at the boat launch and a fish cleaning station has been a long-wished for installation, and that the parking lot should also be repaved. Also discussed was overflow beach parking at the boat ramp parking lot, which is overseen by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). At this time, parking is only allowed on certain days during the week because the MDNR wants to ensure there are enough parking spaces for vehicles with boat trailers. More information and discussion will take place regarding how to handle the need for beach overflow parking, especially on summer weekends. The commissioners also requested a copy of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) sounding that was taken in the harbor, which has not been provided this season. To-date, no contributions have been received for the 2018 Emergency Dredging Fund and a balance report for the EDF was not provided to the commissioners. The next meeting of the Harbor Commission is Thursday, Oct. 4, at 6:30pm.

DEPUTY CHARGED WITH OWI RESIGNS
A
law enforcement officer has resigned after his second drunk driving
arrest. Neil Lachmund, a deputy with the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office for the past 10 years, has been charged with operating while intoxicated. The charge in LaPorte Circuit Court was upgraded to a level 6 felony because of a prior drunk driving conviction from 2014. LaPorte County Sheriff John Boyd said the deputy submitted a letter of resignation less than 72 hours after his arrest. He described Lachmund as a good patrol officer who was well-liked, with a problem that needs addressing. ‘’We’re here for him and we’ll provide him any support that he may need and any help that he may need,’’ Boyd said. According to LaPorte City Police, he was pulled over late Saturday night after veering across the center line and onto the shoulder multiple times on a four lane stretch of Indiana 2 through downtown. Lachmund had an alleged .21-percent blood alcohol level. He was off duty in his own personal vehicle in both of his arrests, Boyd said. Lachmund was released the following afternoon on $750 cash bond. As part of his release, Lachmund was also ordered to pay $300 for an ignition interlock device that prevents the engine of his vehicle from starting if he’s consumed alcohol while awaiting the outcome of the allegations, courtroom officials said. — STAN MADDUX

Kirkus suing New Buffalo City
R
BY STAN MADDUX
Black man with hood on his head kicked out of store
A
ay Kirkus is again taking the city of New Buffalo to court, with harassment and violation of due process among the allegations this time. The former member of the city’s planning commission said $2 million is among the damages sought in his civil lawsuit filed Aug. 17 in Berrien County Circuit Court. He alleges work causing a nuisance and hardship for him at his residence at 1421 E. Indiana Ave. is being done by the city to carry out a personal grudge against him by the administration. Kirkus alleged harassment began a couple of years ago, when he voted against the former United Methodist Church on Whittaker Street being converted into Beer Church, a decision supported by a majority of his former colleagues on the planning commission. “They left me no choice but to fight back and hold them accountable,” said Kirkus, whose secluded residence is along a short stretch of 11th Street that he claims the city wants to open to traffic from U.S 12 to Bell Avenue. Kirkus alleges city manager David Richards and street department superintendent Tony Ashbaugh ‘’secretly acted to open’’ what’s now a gravel street that dead ends on his property. But, under the city charter, Kirkus said the decision must follow a process that includes a public hearing along with action by the planning commission and city council. Kirkus would lose much of the privacy he now enjoys from vehicles passing close to his door step if the street is fully developed and opened to traffic. He’s already lost some of his privacy from trees and other vegetation being cleared from the right of way next to it. Kirkus said officials claiming his well sits within the right of way also want to remove his source of drinking water. More importantly, he said opening the street would create a dangerous intersection at U.S 12 especially during the busy summer months. He said that stretch of U.S 12 is already hazardous enough without an intersection there because of how the grade of the four-lane highway restricts the view of oncoming traffic for drivers pulling out from their residences. Kirkus also questioned the need to open 11th Street since Bell Avenue is very lightly traveled and access to homes along Bell Avenue is already provided by U.S 12 just to the west and Clay Street to the east. “What’s the purpose? There is no public purpose,” Kirkus said. Kirkus, who has sued the city before and led past efforts to recall elected officials locally, said the land clearing started after his wife filed for a personal protection order against a city employee she felt was harassing her. “This was done for one reason and one reason only. To screw with me,” he said. The lawsuit also requests a court order to stop the work and a free hook up to city water from lines that will have to be run to his property if his well is taken out. Kirkus said he’s also asking for an investigation into any crimes stemming from what’s been occurring around his property. In its court-ordered written response to the allegations, the city said the street Kirkus now uses as a private driveway is a public right of way plowed and maintained as such by the municipality with public funds. The city also alleged in its court filing that Kirkus admits the city has a right to clear the public right of way. Yet, he doesn’t want his use of it and his private improvements encroaching the right of way to be infringed upon. ‘’Plaintiff Kirkus still wishes to maintain the street as his private preserve,’’ the city stated in its response. New Buffalo Mayor Lou O’Donnell said he’s not aware of any plans to open 11th Street. He said doing so would require the planning commission and city council getting involved and that hasn’t happened. ‘’Nothing has been approved or brought to the council to do that. I think he’s jumping ahead of himself,’’ O’Donnell said. In 2016, Kirkus was behind an attempt to replace O’Donnell but lost to him in the recall election.

A 24-year old black man is alleging discrimination after being banned from a store for wearing the hood of his Indiana Pacers sweatshirt. Dalrey Trotter said his white girlfriend went to the same store a short time later with a hood on but didn’t encounter any problems. ‘’I’m under the inclination that it wasn’t the hoodie. It was the skin in the hoodie,’’ said Trotter, who lives between Michigan City and LaPorte. According to LaPorte Police, Trotter was told Sunday by a female clerk at Family Dollar at 701 E. Lincolnway to remove from his head the hood of his sweatshirt because it made her feel uncomfortable. Police said Trotter refused because there were no posted signs prohibiting hoods from being worn and asked to see a store policy. The clerk told him wearing the hood posed a security concern; then, after getting permission from her manager to ask him to leave, she called 911, police said. According to police, the man, at the request of the store manager, was informed by an officer not to return or he would be arrested. He was then added to the police department’s no trespassing list containing the names of people banned from certain locations for their behavior. Trotter said the same store clerk was friendly toward his Caucasian girlfriend when she later went inside with a hood on to purchase the toothbrush he was not allowed to buy. ‘’It’s disheartening,’’ he said. Trotter said he did not raise his voice or do anything to cause the store clerk to feel unsafe. The store directed calls about the matter be directed to the corporate office, which could not be reached. — STAN MADDUX

Grand Prix shatters records
T
BY STAN MADDUX
he recent Great Lakes Grand Prix in Michigan City shattered its previous record with a $12.4 million impact on the local economy. The record for attendance was also easily broken with turnout estimated at more than 190,000 for the powerboat race along the shoreline and all of the related events Aug. 3-5. The previous records were set in 2017 when the economic impact was $10.7 million and attendance at more than 150,000. ‘’We just couldn’t be happier with the results,’’ said Jack Arnett, executive director of the LaPorte County Convention & Visitors Bureau. Berrien County and other areas of southwest Michigan played a role in the record topping, with 16 to 18 percent of the attendance typically being from this part of the ‘’Great Lakes State,’’ Arnett said. He said the challenge now is exceeding the marks next year because of how much the previous records were surpassed. Arnett said he was not surprised by the figures compiled yearly by Certec, Inc., a Lexington, Kentucky based marketing analysis group. He said the parking lot at Washington Park filling up much sooner during the time trials Saturday and race Sunday and use of shuttle buses taking spectators to and from the lakefront being noticeably higher were among the indicators. Hotel bookings in advance were also up sharply, he said. It was the 10th consecutive year for the Great Lakes Grand Prix featuring boats in the Super Boat International Series capable of traveling close to 200 miles per hour. The other related activities included a boat parade and taste of Michigan City in the downtown. Arnett credited the dramatic increases to a stepped-up marketing campaign, particularly in the Chicago area. The study also found 40 percent of the people showing up came for the first time, a strong indicator of public interest in the race remaining high into the future.

What is that green film on the harbor?
he DNR said this is commonly called Duckweed, or water lens, which are flowering aquatic plants which float on or just beneath the surface of still or slow-moving bodies of fresh water and wetlands. Also known as "bayroot", they arose from within the arum or aroid family, so often are classified as the subfamily Lemnoideae within the Araceae, according to Wikipedia. The duckweeds have long been a taxonomic mystery, and usually have been considered to be their own family, the Lemnaceae. — LINDA HENDERSON

Open meeting to seek input on community needs
T
he public is invited to join The Pokagon Fund at a Harbor Country open meeting Monday, Sept. 24, at the New Buffalo Township Library. The Pokagon Fund, along with six other small, rural foundations across the state, was selected by the Council of Michigan Foundations (https://www.michiganfoundations.org/) to participate in a 2018-19 Rural Economic Development Initiative. The purpose of the initiative is to help philanthropic foundations engage with local leaders who are deeply rooted in the community in order to identify community needs and receive expert guidance from those leaders. If possible, The Fund hopes to turn results into action. On Monday, there will be two options to provide input: at a focus group specifically for the business community and at a larger, community-wide assessment meeting. The business community focus group will meet from 1 to 2:15 p.m. A community-wide assessment meeting will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. To assist local change makers in identifying needs and resources that will improve the quality of life for all residents in Harbor Country, attendees will be asked what’s their vision for strengthening this community, what are the community’s major assets and most pressing needs and what projects should be kickstarted locally to help all who reside in Harbor Country. The meeting is being coordinated by the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan, the Council of Michigan Foundations, The Pokagon Fund and a small group of church, nonprofit and municipal leaders. For additional questions, contact Janet Cocciarelli, The Pokagon Fund executive director, at (269) 469-9322. The library is located at 33 N. Thompson St. in New Buffalo. — STAFF REPORTS

Learning about the ‘Women of World War II’ at the library

Smith Guitar Works rocks the stage
BY HOLLY SHULMAN
arb Warner Deane, a World War II history buff and author, delivered an informative and entertaining presentation about “America’s greatest generation” of women at the Friends of New Buffalo Library (FOL) Community Forum Saturday, Sept 8. Deane’s talk covered the many ways American women contributed importantly to the war effort, both overseas and on the home front. Based on her research, interviews and oral histories, Deane has written several historic fiction novels about the critical roles women filled in military and civilian programs throughout the World War II era. Programs for women provided important ways for them to serve their country, support the troops and make a difference. As a result, Deane commented that women’s roles in American society have been forever changed, proving their abilities and value far beyond just family and home. The presentation first highlighted the women who partook in the formation of women’s programs in all branches of the armed services: the 150,000 WACS (Women’s Army Corp), the 24,000 WASPS (Women Air Force Service Pilots), the 100,000 Navy WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service), and the 75,000 nurses who served in the Army and Navy. Deane also relayed many tales of the American Red Cross Clubmobiles, a fleet of converted army trucks that were driven by brave teams of women who drove to the front lines to deliver coffee, doughnuts, cigarettes, candy, newspapers, music, movies, friendship and other comforts to fighting troops, primarily in France and Belgium. On the home front, 6.5 million women stepped up to join the workforce while men went off to fight. “Rosie the Riveter” became the new symbol of American manufacturing, as women across the nation rolled up their sleeves to build planes, trucks, ships, tanks and weapons for the military. Civilian women were also instrumental in other invaluable ways. The Women’s Land Army of the US Crop Corp recruited women to work on farms to help grow food for the nation and the troops. Homemakers became adept at recycling and rationing in order to conserve goods and resources needed by the military. They made good with less, using ration stamps issued for meat, butter, coffee, sugar, fabric, rubber, gasoline and leather. Women also volunteered to promote scrap metal drives and war bonds and planted victory gardens in their own front yards. Deane’s next book, “The Whistle Stop Canteen,” focuses on volunteer women who provided railroad depot canteens to servicemen as they traveled across the US for recruitment, training, induction and deployment. Since most soldiers had never been away from home before, these kinds of local woman sacrificed their time and food ration stamps to serve sandwiches, drinks, doughnuts and moral support to hungry, homesick and frightened men on their way to serve. Some depots greeted up to 25 trains a day. The presentation generated discussions and stories from the crowd, who also enjoyed tasting Deane’s homemade mini doughnuts, which she brought as a tribute to the World War II “Doughnut Dollies.” The FOL series is underwritten in part by The Pokagon Fund. Upcoming programs include a private after-hours tour of the Warhol exhibit at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept.17 and “History of Friendship Gardens” presentation Thursday, Oct.4. For a continuing schedule of events and information, call the library at 269 -4469-2933 or visit newbuffalotownshiplibrary.org.

Both Cluster and Troupe acknowledged that they’re navigating uncharted waters. When recently asked by parents if he’ll be tasked with disciplining the students, Cluster responded that he’ll take his cues from members of the middle/high schools’ administration on when to intervene. “It’s a pioneering experience for both of us – there’s no book written,” he said of being an SRO. “This is their house and I’m a guest that’s been invited in here.”

Meanwhile, Officer Mike Cluster, New Buffalo Middle/High School’s designated SRO, is getting acquainted with the older crowd. “We’ve had a lot of good interaction with me being around during passing between classes eating lunch with them, playing basketball in the gym with them, being out there in the morning before school starts and when they leave in the afternoon,” he said. Both Troup and Cluster bring a wealth of experience to their new positions. Troup said he spent seven of his 12 years as a police officer with the Buchanan Police Department.

ARENA sports
From the Bleachers COLUMN BY KURT MARGGRAF IN CHICAGO
T
he National Football League got off to a tremendous start this week and stole the show from all other sporting events. The Cubs lost a double header and the Brewers keep winning, so the gap between the two has dwindled to two games. I went out Saturday night and ended up watching some Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts and judging by the crowd reaction, this sport has become very popular. The crowd intrigued me, but I found the sport much too violent for my taste. As a youngster, my father took me to a wrestling match and I became a big fan. I also remember going to the home of our only neighbor with a television set to watch boxing matches, and how much I enjoyed that. Putting the two sports together would logically be appealing, but the years have mellowed me and I was more appalled than infatuated by the proceedings. But football, despite the flag controversy and the questions of health surrounding the sport, remains America’s pastime. Wednesday afternoon a couple of friends came to the house and we prepared for our fantasy draft. Fantasy sports span all genders and age groups. We went out before the actual draft to get a pizza and a beer and the bartender, a young lady in her twenties, told us all about the draft she had just participated in. Off the top of my head, I can think of at least three other young women who participate in fantasy football, including one in our league. I also know of a league where ten-to-twelve year olds compete against each other. Fantasy sports are really big, and football rules the roost. When the actual season began Thursday night, interest in the game (as well as the players you chose for your fantasy team) was extremely high. The real test of people’s interest in football, at least in Chicago and Green Bay, came on Sunday night, when the new look Bears and their nemesis, the Packers, took center stage. The Bears started out like a house on fire and by halftime had built a 20-0 lead and had knocked out the Packers’ great quarterback, Aaron Rogers. The Bears’ new offense looked great and the defense, lead by the team’s new acquisition, Khalil Mack, looked like they were in mid season form. At halftime I checked my phone and discovered that I had fifteen new messages. Family, friends, old co-workers, and participants in our fantasy league had all weighed in about how wonderful this season was going to be and how fun it was to kick the Packers’ butts: alas, the game was only half over. Rogers returned and directed his team to a 24-23 victory and at least for this week, broke the hearts of Bears fans everywhere. The last text I received Sunday night was from my son who simply said, “they’re still the Bears.” At least my fantasy team is winning. Mr. T said, “To have a comeback, you have to have a setback.” Be careful out there. Make good choices. Keep smiling. Talk to you next week. Peace, love, and happiness.
Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful of your life. -Mark Twain

New Buffalo Area Schools starts school year on high academic note
E
BY FRANCESCA SAGALA
ven though the new school year just started last week, Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Leslie already had some positive academic news to share with members of the New Buffalo Area Schools Board of Education at their Monday, Sept. 10, meeting. Leslie said the spring 2018 M-STEP and SAT scores had been publicly released last week. According to Leslie, the high school had received the highest SAT verbal mean score in Berrien County at 562 as well as the county’s third highest SAT math mean score at 540. Leslie said that the website, mlive.com, did a story last week that listed the high schools with the top 60 SAT composite scores in the state, and that New Buffalo came in 58th place. Leslie added that the top few schools in that list are academic magnet schools and that none of the schools has 43 percent of its students on free and reduced lunch. Leslie added that this year’s “We’re doing really, really well current seniors also achieved based on the demographics that we the highest Social Studies have,” he said. M-STEP score in the county Leslie added that this year’s with a mean scale score current seniors also achieved the of 2116. Meanwhile, last highest Social Studies M-STEP year’s third grade class had score in the county with a mean achieved the second highest scale score of 2116. Meanwhile, last year’s third grade class had achieved English language arts mean the second highest English language scale score in the county at 1311 (behind St. Joseph Public arts mean scale score in the county Schools, which received a at 1311 (behind St. Joseph Public score of 1313) and the highest Schools, which received a score of 1313) and the highest math scores in math scores in the county at 1318. In addition, last year’s the county at 1318. In addition, last eighth grade class achieve the year’s eighth grade class achieve the highest mean scale score in highest mean scale score in math in math in the county at 1805. the county at 1805. Leslie added that the district had achieved third and fourth place in the county in other content areas as well. Also at the meeting, board members approved the district entering into negotiations to purchase property located at 12264 Lubke Road for an amount not to exceed $70,000 (the property’s appraised value). Board President Chuck Heit explained that the district had been using the property under a “very unofficial easement” and were looking to officially purchase it as opposed to having it be up for sale. Board members approved relinquishing the federal funds for Title III (Immigrant Students, English Learners, Immigrant Students Carryover, English Learners Carryover) for the current fiscal year. Leslie explained that the small “dollar amount” that the district would receive from the government wouldn’t be worth the time and effort that they would need to prepare to be audited, which was required if they accepted the funds. The Athletic Director Employment Agreement for Matthew Johnson, for July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, was approved. Leslie explained that the contract was split into two sections because Johnson spent a third of the day being a teacher in addition to being the district’s athletic director. Leslie mentioned that the Legislative Breakfast at Berrien RESA will be taking place at 8 a.m. Monday, Oct. 8, and that there would be a separate table for the school board if more than two members attended.

The ‘outsider artists’ go under cover PHOTOS AND WORDS BY LAWRENCE VON EBELER
aturday, Sept. 1, was not the ideal day for the opening of the annual Outsider Art Show, as most of the artists were satisfied to be inside ones during the downpour from that day’s rainstorm. Despite it raining like cats and dogs, the spirited artists held their own and had a great showing at Judith Racht Gallery. It was Racht’s superb organizing skills that prevented a complete disaster, as she had the entire show covered with shiny, new white tents. While the storm was daunting, the artists were unfazed by the drenching rain, and the show went on with the true spirit of the artists’ commitment to conducting themselves in a patient, professional manner. One of the new faces this year was Annie Hickman, who was showcasing her delightful collection of costume designs. Her especially lighted booth display was so compelling, she had to rope it off to prevent damage to her fragile and gorgeous display. Allynn Gooen, her husband, had his balloons on him to perform emergency balloon tricks for adults and children. He said they have performed all over the world; however, never had they seen a more organized, delightful and sophisticated group of artists and collectors than those who were at that day’s show. Janine Fentiman from Allen, Michigan, has been a fixture at the show in her corner booth for 22 of the show’s 23 years, with no plans in the future for discontinuing her long tradition for showing at the best outsider art show in the nation. The collectors’ costumes were the usual chic and outrageous examples of creativity and style. It’s always a fashion parade at this show and a little rain didn’t stop those efforts; in fact, not even a lot of rain stopped them. Joan Stock Williams, who was an exhibitor, was resplendent in a red chapeau and bangles and beads to make a statement, as well as to draw collectors to her booth. Joan Fosse Banyay was wearing her deceased husband’s straw hat for the show and looking very chic with the combination of her chunky jewelry and bold printed blouse. (Anything goes at this Outsider Art show.) Kara Keller, who had come from Kalamazoo for this don’t miss event to buy a huge painting, wore what she called her “sporty-spicy look” of pants and shorts and a simple top. She caught everyone’s eye with her balloon earrings and hair decorations, which were created through the exclusive efforts of Gooen. Once again, Racht should be commended for her organizing skills and dedication to the Outsider Artist’s movement for more than two decades. She is truly an amazing source of energy and a dedicated donator to the “outsider artists,” who come from all over the nation for her show of all shows, rain or ,shine. Judith Racht Gallery is located at 13707 Prairie Rd, Harbert, Michigan. They can be reached at 269-469-1080. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Initially, it’s a reluctance to say farewell to summer’s charms - a longing to hold onto the days of sunlight, warmth, flowers and freedom. But there is more to it than that. It’s the early sunsets *317933* *317933* and shorter days. The forecasts that boomerang from ’80’s to ’60s. The return to routine and back-to-school. The dwindling bounty at final farmers’ markets. While there is still a good chance that September will bring a week or two of glorious Indian summer, it is inevitable that our thoughts must turn to apple orchards, bonfires, goblins and gourds. So, grab one last pint of blueberries or peaches before moving your scarves and jackets to the front of the closet. Don’t get me wrong: I truly love fall. It’s actually my favorite season.

Before we conduct the smoke test, please pour a gallon of water into your basement floor drains and any unused sinks. This will seal the drain traps so that smoke will not enter your building through the drains. If water is not placed prior to the test, smoke may enter the building by any existing “dry” trap. If smoke should enter your building during the test, it probably means there are defects in the plumbing that could allow SEWER GAS to enter. Note the location of the smoke and call the number at the bottom of this card to arrange a meeting with our inspector to review if any plumbing defects are present. Open doors and windows to ventilate any smoke that enters the building. IMPORTANT! If there is any individual in your home or business who has respiratory problems and is immobile, please notify us at the number below prior to testing. If testing is conducted prior to calling, don’t be alarmed. Open windows and contact us to review the internal plumbing. If possible, go outside until smoke dissipates. The smoke is not harmful to pets. If you have pets and will not be home during the testing, it would be a good idea to leave several upstairs windows partially open for ventilation, should any smoke enter the building. The smoke will not cause any harm to your pets. If you have any questions, please call the Project Coordinator at: Abonmarche John Nelson (269) 487-9652

HOR0SCOPE SEPTEMBER 13-19, 2018
AS INTERPRETED BY SANDY “STAR” BENDT ARIES MARCH 21—APRIL 19 You will feel like things are moving at rocket speed this week and many areas of your life will require attention. At work there is no sign of things slowing down and at home the chores will be piling up. Absent mindedness may be a problem so be sure to write things down.
LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 22 You will feel like pulling back and focusing more on yourself than others this week. This may bother those close to you but if you take the time to touch base before you disappear you’ll have less explaining to do later. Honor taking down time and recharging your batteries.
TAURUS
There is a nice playful energy coming at you this week. Take advantage of it by going to discussions or presentations that coincide with your hobbies or quirky interests. Don’t worry if your partner or friends don’t want to tag along. Going alone opens the door to making new friends.
SCORPIO OCTOBER 23—NOVEMBER 21 Your ability to organize events and find people will be sought after this week. Whether you are asked to organize a trip, prepare for a party or find an old friend your hounddog like skills will win you brownie points with others. You know how to pull people out of hiding.
GEMINI MAY 21—JUNE 21 Feeling secure and stable will be very important this week. Anything that creates uncertainty or people who try to destabilize your world will be in for a surprise this week. You are looking for a deeper commitment now and won’t tolerate halfhearted promises. All or nothing, baby.
SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22—DECEMBER 21 This is a great week to polish your image and increase your public influence. Opportunities to build up your goals will take shape now so be sure to formalize ideas, draft those important contracts and make those call backs. Don’t shy away from hard work or smudge over details.
CANCER JUNE 22—JULY 22 This is a great time to learn something new or start a research program. You will be very mentally active and will get a lot from reading, writing and interviewing historical figures. You will make interesting connections that others may miss or overlook.
CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22—JANUARY 19 Your mind will be sharp and extra inquisitive this week. Engage in things that have a historical element or scholarly overtone to make the most of your curiosities. Perhaps a ghost tour or library presentation on a historical work will satisfy your intellectual urges.
LEO JULY 23—AUGUST 22 Your earning ability and value consciousness are on the rise this week. The important thing is to spend less and increase your savings during this boon. If you do have to spend money spend it on furnishings for the home. You will get any home or family issues worked out this week.
AQUARIUS JANUARY 20—FEBRUARY 18 Deal with any intense feelings you have. Do not disregard negative emotions or try to smooth things over for the sake of ending disagreements. Working things out may require some long conversations and saying things that make you uncomfortable, but you can do it.
VIRGO AUGUST 23—SEPTEMBER 22 This week you will be especially strong willed and may need some extra space or time for your projects. Let the people around you know that you need freedom to do and say the things that inspire you right now. It’s not that you want to be alone, you just don’t want to be weighed down.
PISCES FEBRUARY 19—MARCH 20 Dive into your relationships. You may have been shying away from getting close or sharing personal information but this week it’s important you open up and let others get close to you. Your social life has the propensity to grow and blossom now. Don’t hold that back any longer.
APRIL 20—MAY 20
