DON LEE

Defining heroes

A

s I reflected on my submission for the Local Heroes special section, I first turned to the definition of a “hero” — a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements or noble qualities.

Through the course of my lifetime, I have witnessed many acts of courage and valor performed by fellow Marines, fellow public safety officers and citizens.

While public safety professionals run toward danger as opposed to backing away from it, one common bond everyone can share with those we define as heroes is the willingness to do something above and beyond what is required on behalf of a fellow human being. The act of a child standing up for another child who is being bullied, a block watch member standing up to suspected criminals — these types of actions take place in our community, most times with no recognition.

We have community members who volunteer to mentor, to coach and to proD. Michael COLLINS vide myriad volunteer efforts such as Mobile Meals of Toledo. Recently our community faced a do not consume order for water; there was no panic, no acts of violence. Instead, people volunteered to help distribute water while others showed up to donate.

To quote one of our deputy chiefs, “They were like angels; right when it looked as if we were running out of water, a vehicle would appear with donated water to distribute.” The world was watching our community and they saw the essence of Toledo — a city of compassion that faced those days with courage and resilience that is deserving of recognition.

I offer my congratulations to those named in the Local Heroes section, but I would also like to offer my congratulations and admiration to the citizens of Toledo. Residents, businesses and employees of the City of Toledo endured one of the worst winters in our history as well as the recent water issue with a spirit of brotherly concern. Every day it is demonstrated why the motto “You will do better in Toledo” is just as true today as when it was first created decades ago.

I applaud you and I thank you — it is an honor and a privilege to serve as your mayor. O D. Michael Collins was elected mayor of Toledo in 2013. He was appointed to the Toledo Police Department and served for 27 years, including his last 10 years as the elected president of the Toledo Police Patrolman’s Association. Throughout his career, he received numerous letters of recognition for excellence in police service, and in 1997 was awarded the Professional Service Award by the Toledo Police Department.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Toledo Pride offers thanks

To the editor,

O

n behalf of the entire Toledo Pride committee and its volunteers, we would like to extend a huge thank you to the Toledo Free Press staff.

As the official media sponsor for the past four years, Toledo Free Press has been instrumental as the event has grown leaps and bounds along with its allied support for the local LGBT community. The special 24-page Pride Guide insert was totally amazing, packed with so much news, information and pictures. It was by far the best pre-coverage the event received.

Beyond the Toledo Pride event once a year, we would also like to thank you for all the feature stories and coverage you give LGBT issues and events all year long. Toledo is currently without a LGBT magazine and you are the voice for our community.

We stand proud with Toledo Free Press and thank you for the continued support and dedication in reaching equality for all LGBT people.

Thank you! O Rick Cornett • Lexi Staples, Deanna Eff • Nicole Hayman, Kelly Heuss • Nicole Khoury, Angela MUnoz • Brent Rabie, MANDISA Sherife-Kekulah • Brian Sniegoecki, Lenny Sniegoecki • Honnie Staples, Phillipe Taylor • Torie Thorne, Sherry Tripepi • Justin VEIgel

August 31, 2014

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com n BAUMHOWER CONTINUED FROM 3 Sandy soon recognized the familiar face of an officer she had not seen in years. Officer Otto Rectenwald, a 19year veteran of TPD, had met Tyler and his mom about eight years earlier when he was a school resource officer.

After a quick embrace, Officer Rectenwald reached not for his firearm, not for a blank citation, but rather his wallet. He asked a confused Sandy to put out her hand; as she did, he placed $150 in cash in it and said, “I know you are going to replace Tyler’s phone. I would like to instead.”

Instant tears rained down a mother’s face.

A few seconds later, Tyler was dropped off by his bus after a long day of creating art. Equally confused by both the patrol car in the driveway and his mom’s tears, Tyler was soon reunited with an old acquaintance and some good news. Sandy showed Tyler the money and told her son why the officer was there.

“Tyler started crying and hugged Officer Otto at least 50 times,” his mom said, choking up as she recalled the moment.

When Rectenwald read Sandy’s Facebook post, he realized how important this cellphone was to this young man, how affected he was by its disappearance and the strain $150 can cause a family. The man who swore an oath to “protect and serve” decided to

do something above and beyond the call of duty that day.

Overwhelmed by this random act of kindness, Tyler’s mom messaged TPD’s Facebook account, shared the story and attached the above photo.

The humble officer wasn’t looking for any attention. Zero tweets were sent; he got back in his cruiser and proceeded to the next call.

Rectenwald, whose job is often filled with life’s darkest moments, saw an opportunity to right a wrong, so he did. He never thought his good deed would go public, he was just doing what Toledoans and cops do best: picking somebody up when circumstances have knocked them down.

Mission accomplished.

I was able to connect with Sandy via telephone and she shared the heartwarming events of that day. “I’ve been protecting Tyler from society for 22 years. Then someone in society does something like this. This instantly restored my faith in humanity.”

Rectenwald pulled a lot more than $150 in cash from his back pocket, he pulled out love from his heart and handed it to a deserving family at the time they needed it the most.

Thank you Officer Otto Rectenwald for not only being a good cop, but for being a better person. O Jeremy Baumhower can be reached at jeremytheproducer@icloud.com or on Twitter @jeremytheproduc.

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Firefighters and police officers often say they’re part of a family or brotherhood, but for many area first responders that’s literally the case.

Twin brothers Michael and Alfred Segura often saw each other on the job — Michael fighting a fire and Alfred directing traffic around the blaze.

Both are now retired, Michael from Toledo Fire & Rescue Department (TFD) and Alfred from Toledo Police Department (TPD). Younger brother Anthony Segura is currently a Toledo firefighter along with Michael’s son Lt. Greg Segura of Grand Rapids, Ohio.

“As a kid you just think it’s the coolest thing,” Greg said. “As I got older, into my teen years, I really started to get an appreciation for what he does. I thought it was a great career he had chosen and I wanted to follow in the same path.”

Not surprisingly, family gatherings are full of “shop talk.”

“A lot of firefighters will tell you this is the greatest job in the world,” Greg said. “It’s not for everybody, but when it’s your family and you’re

talking with someone who has an understanding about what a fantastic job it is, it’s like, ‘I’m in, I want it, I’m sold.’”

Greg is currently stationed at the newly renovated Station No. 3 in North Toledo, near where he grew up.

“I used to wander into this station as a kid, walking to and from my elementary school,” Greg said. “I’d walk in and say, ‘Hey, my dad’s a fireman, too.’”

Greg laughed when asked if his dad was excited when he joined TFD. “I was told stories that he was walking around the station almost singing and dancing,” Greg said. “He told me one of the proudest days he’s ever had was when I got promoted to lieutenant.”

For years, father and son worked at different stations but on the same shift and would often see each other at fires.

For a while, they served on the same rig.

“We were working side by side, which was really neat,” Greg said.

“It’s just a huge honor, it really is,” he said of the legacy. “You get the stories when you come on the job and your dad has already paved the way.

You start to think, ‘I got big shoes to fill, I better step up and do something.’

It’s been more than well worth it.” n FAMILY CONTINUES ON 7

‘Proudest day’

Wayne Hartford has been with TFD for 30 years. His son Chris Hartford joined last year and is also a volunteer firefighter for Perrysburg Township.

“This is the greatest job in the world,” Wayne said. “Every day is different. The time off and benefits are great for families. You come into work every day and your office is a big, red fire truck with lights and sirens. It’s kind of exciting.”

Wayne said he never pressured his kids to join, but it means a lot to him that Chris chose to.

“Besides my children being born and getting married, it was probably the proudest day of my life,” Wayne said. “[Fellow firefighters] will say to me, ‘He’s a good kid’ or ‘He’s a good worker.’ That means more to me than anything else, to have the acceptance of my brothers in blue about him.

That’s huge.”

Chris said he feels “privileged” to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

“It means a great deal to me,” he said.

“It’s something I’ve always looked forward to and now I’m finally able to do it.”

However, it means Wayne’s wife has a “double worry” now that their son is on the job, he said.

“She knows we’re going to do what we can to be safe and be careful, but things happen. That’s just our job,” Wayne said. “[With Chris] I usually end all our phone conversations with ‘Be safe’ or ‘Be careful,’ and I know that he will be. He’s got a good head on his shoulders. But it’s always in the back of

of helping others

my mind, absolutely.”

Father and son agree the job has brought them closer.

“I really think we’ve become friend’s, not just father and son,” Wayne said.

Father’s instinct

Firefighter Lt. Tom Viertlbeck of Toledo said worrying about your kids is just part of being a father.

His sons, Lt. Matt Viertlbeck of Whitehouse and Pvt. Andy Viertlbeck of Temperance, are also firefighters.

“It’s kind of fun to work together with your son,” Tom said. “We’ll be on runs and they’ll say, ‘Hey Dad.’ The first time Matt did it, it took me a step back, like, ‘Hey, my son’s really on the job.’

“I felt honored they would follow in my footsteps on the fire department. It’s a very rewarding job, a very challenging job, a great career.”

It can also be dangerous. Tom once broke his leg falling through an attic floor. In 2005, Matt was en route to a fire Tom was at when a vehicle collided with the truck, injuring four firefighters, including Matt.

“They know how dangerous the job is and they are pretty cautious,” Tom said. “I think it’s just a father’s instinct to worry about them, especially in this profession.”

Father’s daughter

ther, John Leopold, who retired in 2008 after 33 years with TFD, were the first father/daughter pair on the department and Hill was the first secondgeneration firefighter/paramedic.

“I remember my dad coming home and I always wanted to hear about his runs, but I didn’t think about doing it myself until later,” Hill said.

Her great-grandfather, Clarence Ehrsam, was also a Toledo firefighter.

She said it can help to follow family members on the job.

“It breaks down barriers and makes it easier to meet people. They’ll say, ‘Oh, I know your dad.’ It’s a conversation starter, but you still have to find your own way,” Hill said.

Family business

Battalion Chief Mike Nicely of Sylvania didn’t always want to be a firefighter like his dad, retired Capt. Pat Nicely of Delta. He joined the Army instead and intended to go into teaching.

“Being in the Army woke up an adventurous spirit I didn’t have before,” Mike said. “We call ourselves legacies.

It’s like getting in the family business.”

Pat said his most memorable fire was the Willis Day Business Park fire of 1985. He and his crew were on the roof when they noticed it starting to crack.

They got off just before it collapsed.

n FAMILY CONTINUED FROM 7 “I never worried about him as a kid because dads are indestructible, but I know my mom worried,” Mike said.

“By the time I got on he was an officer, which is still dangerous but the probability goes down, and besides he was damn good at what he did.”

Pat was a drill instructor for Mike’s training and Mike directed Pat’s last fire.

“My last day on the job, he was filling in as a paramedic and it just so happened that his life squad was there before my engine and he directed my last fire, so that was kind of neat,” Pat said.

Pat said many firefighters don’t talk about their jobs with nonfirefighters, even family members. Even among fellow firefighters, there are some things many don’t talk about.

“I feel kind of embarrassed talking about things I’ve done,” Pat said. “I brought out three people in my career.

Other than just saying that, I’ve never said that to anybody else. Two survived and one didn’t. You just happen to be there at the right place at the right time.”

Cop’s kids

Toledo Police Deputy Chief Don Kenney Jr. has been on the job more than 30 years. His father, Don Kenney Sr., was a Toledo firefighter.

“I enjoy the camaraderie, the overall feeling you are doing something good

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

for the whole of society,” Kenney Jr. said.

“Just knowing you’re out there keeping people safe makes you feel good.”

Kenney Jr. is the father of two Toledo police officers, his son Sgt. Erik Kenney and his daughter Kellie Kenney, but talks about everyone in the department as if they were his children.

“It makes me proud these young men and women are doing this,” Kenney Jr. said. “They are doing a fantastic job day in and day out to keep people safe. We’ve got a pretty great city to live in thanks to the safety forces.”

Kenney Jr. said he gives his kids the same advice he gives every police officer.

“Always give 100 percent of yourself so when you go home you can look yourself in the mirror,” Kenney Jr. said. “You’re not always going to be patted on the back for the good things you do. You have to do it because it’s the right thing to do.”

Erik said he tries to follow his dad’s advice to treat everyone with respect.

“Sometimes you don’t get that returned but as long as you can say you treated somebody fairly it lets you sleep well at night,” he said.

Erik’s wife, Rebecca, is a Toledo police detective. They met on the job and have been married for five years.

“We worked on the same crew and one day we stopped a car that had two guys in it. I got my guy out and hand-

cuffed. The guy on her side took off running and she started after him.

“I told her to take the guy with the handcuffs, that I’d catch him. That didn’t go over well,” he said, chuckling.

“So that’s when we knew.”

For safety reasons, police officers rarely work closely with family, Erik said.

“They are pretty strict about that.

For the most part, they keep families from working directly together and for each other,” he said.

“I always monitor both channels while Erik is working so I can hear what calls he’s going to and what he’s up to,” Kellie said. “I keep close tabs on him. If he gets into a foot or vehicle pursuit I do get more nervous, but I know that he is a safe officer and we all look out for each other.

“We always send each other texts when one of us gets a felony arrest. I usually receive a lot more texts than I send.”

Working holidays, weekends and midnights is something all rookies do, sometimes for years, Kenney Jr. said.

“There is a sacrifice in time with family on this job,” Kenney Jr. said.

“When my phone rings in the middle of the night, it’s work and it’s nothing good. And it rings quite a bit. You just get used to it and know going in it’s part of your job.” n FAMILY CONTINUES ON 9

n FAMILY CONTINUED FROM 8 “My dad is more than 60 years old with the heart of a young street cop,” Kellie said. “To this day, he is still out going to calls with patrolmen and coming in on Friday nights and holidays because his patrolmen have to.

This past Thanksgiving, he finished eating and got up to put on his uniform. I asked what he was doing and he said, ‘I’m going to spend Thanksgiving on the street.’ And he did.”

It’s a job all three Kenneys love.

“I am unbelievably proud to serve behind my grandfather, dad and brother in public service. I don’t believe I would be a police officer anywhere but Toledo; this is where my entire family has served. My dad is the hardest-working man I have ever met and I have so much respect for him.”

Five generations

Retired Assistant Chief Robert Schwanzl has a teenage grandson considering the fire service. If he joins

TFD, he would represent the family’s fifth generation of Toledo firefighters.

Schwanzl’s grandfather, Frank Schwanzl, joined TFD in 1900 when rigs were still pulled by horses. His uncle, James Hays, joined during the Great Depression. Schwanzl retired in 1998 after 40 years of service. His son Joe retired last year.

“My two proudest moments were when [Joe] was sworn in and when he got promoted,” Schwanzl said.

As assistant chief, Schwanzl was often called away from family functions.

“If you had to go, you had to go. It didn’t matter,” he said. “I got up from the dinner table a number of times when we had a house full of company.”

Schwanzl paused when asked if he ever worried about his son.

“Every now and then you might have a little heartburn over what you hear over the radio or what you see going on, but I don’t think I ever had any real concern because I knew he could handle himself and his crew,” he said.

‘Best friends’

Glenn Hill and his wife Meredith are both firefighter/paramedics. They work different shifts at the same station so one can always be home with their children.

“We’re best friends,” Glenn said.

“We share stories with each other all the time and it’s so cool to be able to relate.”

Meredith was on the scene of the North Toledo apartment fire that killed two firefighters in January. Glenn got a text saying there were two firefighters down and CPR in progress. It wasn’t until later he realized the text was from another firefighter and not Meredith.

“Had I known at the time it was him that sent that and not her, I would have freaked,” Glenn said.

Meredith worked on Pvt. Stephen Machcinski, but he later died along with firefighter Pvt. James Dickman.

“To have it be one of our own is something I will never get past. It’s something I think about every single day and replay it in my head,” Meredith said. “[Glenn’s] been extremely supportive. We’re just a

huge support system for each other.”

They met through ambulance runs to ProMedica Toledo Hospital, where Meredith was working as a security officer while waiting to hear from TFD. “I’m always questioning him because he has 10 years experience on me,” Meredith said. “I’m always looking to him for advice.”

Both wanted to be firefighters from a young age.

“I always enjoyed the thought of helping somebody out. I feel like it’s my calling,” Glenn said.

‘Greatest job’

Jamie Ferguson of Toledo also always wanted to become a firefighter.

“It was still that little boy fascination,” he said. “I never got it out of my system.

When his son David joined, Jamie was proud.

“To say it’s a rewarding job would be an understatement. It’s not for the faint of heart, but you get to make a big difference in people’s lives every day.”

Jamie now serves as public education officer, giving fire safety presentations.

Once he was giving a presentation when David fell through a floor at a fire.

“I knew he was OK but as a dad you just want to go be there,” Jamie said. “Now I know what my wife goes through worrying about me. There’s inherent risk in this job that you just can’t get away from.

But you have to trust in the training and in making good decisions because you can’t dwell on that.”

On David’s first day on the job, he worked a double fatality fire.

“That was tough. But the good days far outweigh the bad days. It more than balances out,” David said.

“I like being of service to my community. I’ve always told my dad I would love to make as much of an impact on the department as he has, but I know I’ll never get close.

“It’s truly the greatest job in the world. My dad’s been telling me that since he got on and now that I got on I understand.” O

10 Local Heroes

Local Heroes 2014 Yearbook Inspired by our annual Military Yearbook, Toledo Free Press wanted to also honor the heroes serving here in the community as police officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, sheriff ’s deputies, highway patrol officers, volunteer firefighters and more. Perhaps it shouldn’t have come as a surprise, but many first responders we talked to were extremely humble and modest about their service.

Many, especially police officers, shied away from the spotlight and declined to be interviewed or photographed. However, it was obvious

in each case how much they cared about their community and how rewarding they found their careers.

Their families were not nearly as shy about calling attention to the honor they deserve and many submitted the photos you see here. We hope this small sample of the thousands of area men and women who keep us safe night and day serves as our way of saying thank you to each of you for your service, your dedication and your sacrifice.

Andy Iwinski was a familiar face in Downtown Toledo, directing traffic with a semaphore for decades, including on the corner of Superior Street and Jefferson Avenue, which became known as Andy’s Corner. He joined Toledo Police in 1922 and retired in 1968 after 46 years of service.

He wore Badge No. 1, representing the longest-serving member of the department. More than 1,000 people came to his retirement party. A tribute poster signed by guests was donated to the Toledo Police Museum by his family.

“He was very popular,” said daughter Evelyn Nowak. “He was the oldfashioned kind who helped old women across the streets. He taught us kids to be servants because that was what he was, a servant to the people.” He died in 1971 at age 71.

Courage to take me where others will not go.

I ask for strength; Strength of body to protect others…

Strength of spirit to lead others.

I ask for dedication; Dedication to do my job and do it well…

Dedication to my community and to keep it safe.

Give me, Lord, concern; For all those who trust me…

And compassion for those who need me.

And, please, Lord, through it all; be at my side.

Dedicated to the brave men and women who so selflessly serve the City of Sylvania.

In tribute to fallen firefighters There are many local heroes I could name in our bright city of Toledo, but two immediately come to mind.

I would like to recognize Steve Machcinski and Jamie Dickman — two heroes who will forever be embedded in our hearts, two heroes who gave the absolute ultimate sacrifice, two fireGina M. fighters, sons, fathers and uncles who can never be recognized enough.

When all are running away from danger, it is our call of duty, as firefighters, to run toward it. To protect and serve the citizens of our great city. Steve and Jamie gave their lives selflessly and courageously. It is my prayer that they and their families will always be remembered, never to be forgotten, and that the sisters and brothers on the Toledo Fire & Rescue

Department will have a strongerthan-ever bond that will only increase in strength and unity.

God bless Steve, Jamie and their families. God bless the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department.

The Women of Courage continue to move forward in recognizing diversity and embracing equality for all. One of our many Shubeta goals is to create a quarterly open forum for women to express ideas, share professional information and address any areas of concern.

Autumn Adventure Annual walk kicks off exploration, celebration of Metroparks.

By Chase Will Toledo Free Press Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com

T

he 2014 Metroparks Autumn Adventure will kick off at 2 p.m.

Aug. 31 with a free hike at Oak Openings Preserve in Swanton.

For the 25th year, Metroparks of

Toledo Area is challenging participants to hike any eight of 10 qualified trails.

This challenge runs until Nov. 18.

“It’s become kind of a tradition,” said Scott Carpenter, director of public relations for the metroparks.

“You can pick from the 10 trails we have listed or you can pick any four trails in the metroparks to get to eight,”

Carpenter said. “You can do them on your own or you can come to one of our scheduled walks with a group.”

There are 15 group hikes scheduled. Some of these hikes are free and others have a small cost.

A complete list of scheduled hikes and the registration form for participation are available at the website

www.metroparkstoledo.com.

“The first 50 people to complete the challenge get a free T-shirt,” Carpenter said. “Every year we design a new Autumn Adventure graphic, and the shirts have become kind of a collector’s item. Some people do the program every year just to get the shirt.”

New group brings classic sound to Midwest Latino Fest.

bands.) Though Baran is the driving force behind the music and writes all the band’s original songs, Abu-Absi said that his own role is akin to a musical director’s.

“It’s different in a number of ways,” Abu-Absi said, contrasting his role in Radio Free Honduras to his work in previous bands.

“But one thing in particular is the amount and level of discussion. In [JT &] the Clouds we have always operated as a sort of democracy, and everyone weighs in with their opinion on just about everything.

Working with Charlie, things tend to come together on a more visceral level. We don’t argue. Ever.”

The group will bring its unity of sound and feeling to Midwest Latino Fest running 2-10 p.m. Aug. 30 at Promenade Park in Downtown Toledo. The members of Radio Free Honduras have plenty of experience entertaining fans in a festival setting: Beyond its members’ individual histories in music, the group also played Fiesta Del Sol — the largest Latino festival in the Midwest — in Chicago earlier this month.

“It’s great. Festival crowds are always fun, so we try to keep them happy and dancing,” Abu-Absi said.

“We want to entertain. Hopefully people will have fun and experience the beauty of the performance.” O

A mix of rock and Latin folk music, thurSday–Sunday the sounds of the group named Radio 10 p.m. – 11 p.m.

Free Honduras — which will perform 28 South Saint Clair $2 domeStiC BottLeS at Midwest Latino Fest on Aug. 30 $3 mixed drinkS Downtown toleDo — are the kind that both soothe and excite the soul. It’s a contrast that guitarist, co-founder and area native Dan Abu-Absi understands very well.

“One of my favorite things about this music is that it can be both incredibly beautiful and fun at the same time,” Abu-Absi said.

One of the rising names in the Latin music scene centered in Chicago, Radio Free Honduras has an amazing musical pedigree. In addition to Abu-Absi, whose work with groups like JT & the Clouds and Birds of Chicago put him on the map, the core of the group is Charlie Baran, a Honduran musical icon and guitar virtuoso who has carved out a remarkable reputation in over a quarter-century on the music scene, both here and in his native Honduras.

Baran rose to prominence in the early 1990s as a member of the group Banda Blanca, whose song 6821 “SopaSalisbury de ewly Listed Commercial Properties Available: Humana Marketpoint to movePl.intoPl. 6000 Renaissance Pl. es Available: Humana Marketpoint move into6000 6821Salisbury Salisbury Rd. to Rd. 6000 Renaissance Renaissance 6821 Rd.

UTROCKETS.COM 419.530.GOLD (4653)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Enjoy your holiday, as Tuesday kicks off a fast-paced work week. Good news keeps coming and long-term efforts show results. A woman in the workplace faces conundrums and expects you to solve her problems. Tap into cultural and spiritual sources of inspiration.

Women in distress demand help. Steer clear of manipulative people, though; situations may not be exactly as explained. Weigh the social costs of doing nothing with the personal costs of involvement. People outside the situation help clarify costs and benefits.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

It may be tough to keep limits and boundaries intact with others who want to socialize when you want to work. Luck flows your way midweek and brings practical benefits and favors. Tweak things toward perfection. Plan to socialize on Saturday, as new friends are in reach.

You prosper through friends and associates this week.

Opportunities flow on Tuesday through good timing and the right connections. Someone may be upset about nitpicky problems; don’t ignore the implications. Facilitate friendly contacts between separate acquaintances.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

You accomplish more when business associates are also friends. This week brings clear benefits from businesspleasure connections. Don’t whiz past glitches; fix as you go along. After Friday, tangible benefits from multiple individuals come through meetings and discussions.

It’s important to keep some traditions alive. Finances improve, but expenses loom. Seek needed assistance on Tuesday and Wednesday. Look past surface appearances to make sure people or investments are trustworthy. Saturday brings delightful eclectic mixtures.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

This week helps stabilize family and emotional matters that have been at the center of your concerns. In order to keep things stable, keep a tight rein on expenditures.

Hasty decisions can drain accounts. Have a great time reconnecting with old friends on Saturday.

Long-term plans roll into motion after Tuesday. Act quickly on tips, as offers fade by Wednesday evening. You focus on budget, timelines, and dispersal of resources on Friday.

Gatherings of family and people of all ages are a bright spot of weekend activities.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Snooze on Sunday. You’ll need high-wattage energy from Monday to Wednesday. Personal bonuses arrive from friends and loved ones. Do research before making major purchases. Workplace changes may be a sign of deep unrest. Seek low-stress activities on Saturday.

The holiday makes some people inaccessible. Work fast to make necessary contacts on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Friends and loved ones have deep situations that distract them from socializing. Give people space to sort things out.

People need nurturing over the weekend.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Holiday visits ease accumulated stress. After Tuesday, communication and people skills are in high demand.

Niggling questions about the use of resources or top priorities prompts an investigation. You may be the linchpin of an unusual gathering on Saturday evening.

You have a good time at holiday events, but traveling may be stop-and-go. Messages arrive first thing on Tuesday and send you on productive quests. Loved ones are anxious to resolve long-standing issues. Saturday is your big opportunity to be a match-maker.
