Slater Jewell-Kemker is notyour average 13-year-old.While the thoughts ofmany children her agerevolve around the latestgame trend or newestcrush, Slater is focused onsomething much moreimportant – world peace.
Slater is the Peace PaintAmbassador for the ArtMiles Project, a global artproject creating 12 miles ofmurals for the InternationalDecade of Peace, 2001-2010. The murals will thenbe wrapped around anEgyptian pyramid in arecord-breaking display.
Slater first heard of theproject while attending aconference in Slovakia withher home-schooling group,Iearn (InternationalEducation and ResourceNetwork). The initiative
was started by JoanneTawfilis and Dr.FouadTawfilis at an orphanage inBosnia and has grown byleaps and bounds.
“When we look at themurals, each of them, wesee something new eachtime and savour the joy ofchildren being togetherunaffected by the barriersthe world so readily con-structs around them.
“By growing up in aworld of bigotry andracism, sexism, and all theother ‘isms’ that exist, thismural project works like anelectric eraser. It washesaway the years of tears, theinjured heart, the clippedwings, the prisons andropes that always get in theway of letting us care, reallycare, about each other,”stated Joanne in an articlewritten by Slater.
“I think it’s cool to bepart of this,” said Slater.
“There’s so much joy andfriendship coming through.It’s very inspiring to seekids doing great paintings.”
Slater visited theTrenton Military FamilyResource Centre (MFRC)on January 5 to involvedaycare children in her por-tion of the project – the“peace mile.”
“I’ve always heard thatthe Canadian Forces areknown internationally aspeacekeepers. Since I want-ed to do a mural that wasbased on peace, I thought itwould be good (to involvethe military community),”she stated.
Although the mainimages on the mural will betwo doves holding olivebranches, the daycare chil-dren were asked to drawwhat peace meant to them.
“To me, peace meansthe earth, trees and thenature that surrounds me,”
said Slater. “It means not somany wars going on.”
Slater, along with herparents Wendy Jewell andDavid Kemker, also tookthe opportunity while at
the daycare to film themural painting for MYHERO, a not-for-profiteducational web projectthat celebrates the best ofhumanity. Participants are
asked to tell about heroesin their communitiesthrough short films or sto-ries. For more information,log on to www.myhero.com.

One of the best kept secrets at 8 Wing is tucked away on thenorthwest corner of the air base and might be of interest toyou. It is the 8 Wing Auto Hobby Club.
The facility has four bays: two maintenance bays withhoists, one bay for body work and finally, one bay for tirechanges and wheel balancing. All bays are fully equippedwith the best of hand and air tools. Special equipment suchas welders and diagnostic tools are available to allow you tosafely carry out simple to complex tasks in relative comfort(heated bays).
Membership is open to all 8 Wing employees (mil andciv) and the facilities are available to members 24/7 on auser-fee basis. We are a non-public funded entity in exis-tence for the members of 8 Wing so we aim to keep our feesreasonably low enough to make it attractive for memberswhile still providing the club with a source of operatingincome. This ensures that necessary inspections are carriedout on our equipment and that tools are replaced as required.
To have access to one of our bays,you will need a currentmembership, (temporary memberships provided to mem-bers on TD) make a reservation and pay a modest bay rentalfee. This will cover the use of tools and special equipment toallow you to complete your task. The club does not haveprofessional mechanics on staff but if help is required,mem-bers are generally available and within reason,willing to lenda hand, if able.
Save your money and join the 8 Wing Trenton AutoHobby Club. For more information, please contact WOPaul Nesbitt at local 3829 or Capt Gary Connolly at 2678.

Perhaps the most challenging exercise in any fitness programinvolves just one repetition and one set. This fundamentalexercise is considered by many,including some who are alreadyfit, to be the most challenging exercise of their entire fitnessprogram.
It can best be described as a “pulling”exercise. What I amreferring to of course, is pulling the handle to open the frontdoor of the gym. Amazingly enough, once you’ve completedthis exercise, the remainder of your work takes care of itself. If2006 is your year to get fit, start by talking with the fitnessexperts at the gym before starting a new program.They knowtheir stuff and can design a program that’s right for you, onethat will help you achieve your fitness goals and prevent injury.Aside from the physical benefits, fitness goes a long way inhelping to reduce stress,provides the opportunity to make newfriends and meet old ones, helps us get a better night’s sleepand perhaps most important, we feel good about ourselves.Psychologists tell us that it takes 21 days to form a habit.Whynot put it to the test and give it a try? The benefits of fitnessare something we can all handle. See you at the gym!

Is this your year?
new green combatuniform, flight suitsand the new wintergear.”
Many of the newfeatures of therain/wind suits are tai-lor-made to the SAR-Tech trade, which seesits personnel inextreme weather situa-tions year round. Forexample, the suits arewhat is termedWMVP—water mois-ture vapour perme-able—which meansthat personnel canwear this material andperspire, and the mois-ture passes throughthe material and out—but nothing (rain,wind) comes back in.In addition the suitsare electrostatic dissi-pated, a fancy way ofsaying that the suitswill not generate staticelectricity, due to astate-of-the-art car-bon filter lining.
The two-piece suit,which features bothjacket and pants, isalso POL-phobic—the material is resist-ant to petroleum, oiland lubricants—andboasts underarm zip-pers (to allow ventila-tion and increase airflow to reduce thetemperature inside thesuit).
The suit seemsextremely welldesigned, with radiopockets on both arms,reinforced elbows (and
knees in the pants) toextend the life of thegarment, plus a valu-able feature referred toas a “beaver tail” at theback of the jacket.
This beaver tail issimply (but ingenious-ly) an extra length offabric that extends thejacket lower in theback. This serves threepurposes—it ensuresthat water runs com-pletely off the back ofthe jacket rather thancollecting at the waist;it provides groundprotection should per-sonnel have to sit indamp or wet areas; andit also allows forsomething called ajump bib, whichattaches the jacketbetween the legs—very useful for para-chuting, in that itkeeps the jacket fromriding up duringdescent.
All four SAR-Techs seemed quitepleased with the newsuits, as did MWOMike Maltais, SAR-Tech Leader, who sayshe is looking forwardto receiving the suitsfor the rest of 424Squadron’s SAR-Techs.
According to MajCarter, all of these rainsuits “have beenreceived off contractfrom Peerless and willbe distributed to allSAR-Techs in the CFin the near future.”

1986 – For over a decade Communications Command has deployed units tothe Arctic to hone the skills of its communicators and practice the vital rolethey would play in case of a major disaster in the North. This fall, three reg-ular and one reserve detachment opened their nets at Watson Lake, DawsonCity, White Horse and Old Crow in the Yukon.
1976 – Capt John Connors, 27, of Ottawa and Winnipeg, is a real lifesaver.He rescued four persons, three of them children, from a burning downtownapartment building here early Jan 21 – his third life-saving deed in about fiveyears.

LETTERSI am writing to thank you andyour staff for the support youhave provided the HastingsPrince Edward CountyBranch of the CanadianCancer Society throughoutthe past year.

Our successes are attrib-uted to the community sup-port we receive from ourdonors, volunteers, businesspartners and organizations.We also recognize and appre-ciate the value of gifts-in-kindand the generosity that ourcommunity has extended tous throughout the year.

Sunday 07 Jan seemed to bea good day to work out thekinks and shed the extrapounds of the holiday.Not abad thing in itself--my bodydidn’t even suffer any per-manent damage! I wish Icould say as much for mytruck!
Coming out of the SSGymnasium around 1 p.m.,all proud of my achieve-ment, I was surprised at theway my pickup was parked.Did I have too much spiritsduring the holiday or did Isuffer from oxygen depriva-tion from the exercise? Acloser look revealed that myvehicle had graciously beenrepositioned by the force ofan impact.
Well obviously, theoffending vehicle did notkeep its New Year’s resolu-tion as it left the parking lotas quickly as it entered--butnot without body aches.Thepoor thing left behind itsleft front signal light,part ofits front grill with serialnumber, tire tracks and evena bit of paint. Thank Godfor Wing photo techs.
My next year’s resolu-tion…I’m going to walk tothe Gym..not….or maybewalk around the PMQslooking for a light colouredpickup, van or SUV..

In addition to the listof significant tasks, wealso completed various in-house projects, a couple ofspecial operations, andprovided periodic navaidssupport to the Trentonairfield, and trained on a
wide variety of courses.On the morale-build-
ing side, we had an event-ful field mess dinner with8 ACCS HCol BarryBrock as the guest of hon-our. We also had theannual hockey gamewhere the junior rankscheated and beat the sen-ior NCMs and officers.
8 ACCS also experi-enced a high turnoverduring the APS.Seventeen of the unit’s 51members are new, includ-ing the CO and DCO.Most of those posted out
were also promoted. Andthere were two memberswho had babies born in‘05 - a direct correlationto all the travelling, with afew more due in 2006.
It has been anotherbusy, eventful year at 8ACCS, but very reward-ing for all members. Aftera holiday rest, everyone isrecharged and ready to goagain in ‘06. In fact, twoteams are packing up gearfor exercises inGreenwood and Floridaas I type. On the roadagain…
2005 was a very busy and productive year at 8 ACCS

So, what difference willthe federal electionmake to your mortgagerate or the value ofyour investments? Tothe currently high-fly-ing loonie, or the stockmarket which hasrecently been flirtingwith the moon? Does itreally make any differ-ence which set of suitsoccupies the govern-ment benches in theHouse of Commons?
Now, I write thiscolumn with trepida-tion, and under imme-diate threat of beingeviscerated by the edi-tor’s knife – because Iam a candidate in thiselection. AConservative, nonethe-less, running in an areajust outside of the BigSmoke known asToronto. This will notshock those familiarwith my career, whichincluded a stint inParliament more than adecade ago – a flingwhich ended with meactually being incharge of the tax sys-tem. (Hey, stop throw-ing those rocks…)
Anyway, I haveapparently lost mymind again. CurrentlyI spend my nightsroaming the streets likea homeless person,knocking on every doorI can find, and handingout brochures with pic-tures of myself on
them. It ’s a strangeexistence, but I havemy own private reasonsfor this self-destructivebehaviour.
However, am I manenough to look dispas-sionately at the post-January 23rd results,whatever the outcome?You bet, I am, andwhatever the outcome Ihappen to think that
the economic situationfor most people will bebrighter. Here’s why:
(1) Tax cutsBoth the Grits and
the Tories haveunveiled elaborateschemes to cut theamount of coin youdrop with the federalgovernment. TheLiberals have usheredin income tax cuts andare hinting at more,while theConservatives havevowed to cut the GSTas well as sweeten sen-iors’ pensions and drop
some other charges. Inboth cases, after-taxincome will be higher –giving us more moneyto spend and invest (atleast $5 billion), whichis good for the econo-my
(2) Investmentincome
The pending elec-tion already made theLiberals do the rightthing – which was todrop plans to taxincome trusts, andimprove the tax treat-ment of dividend-pay-ing socks. Good forthem, and theConservatives are onrecord as keeping toexactly the same policy.The Liberals are now
committed to raisingthe capital gains taxbreak for small busi-ness and farmers, whilethe Conservatives havevowed to chop thebusiness tax rate. All ofthis is very positive forcorporations and, byextension, the stockmarket.
(3) Interest ratesHmmm. Less cer-
tain here, since bothmajor parties havepromised (as usual) abig whack of newspending. TheLiberals, in fact, are
accusing theConservatives ofspending so much thatwe will return to budg-et deficits. The Toriessay this is fearmonger-ing and they will actu-ally be cutting federalspending. In any case,election promises areinflationary, and we allknow how the Bank ofCanada feels aboutthat – so I would keepa beady eye focused onmy mortgage rate,which is still likely totravel northward forthe next six to ninemonths. Then we willsee whose economicagenda has prevailed.
(4) The dollarIt ’s going up.
Already near a 14-yearhigh, the loonie willrebound after the elec-tion because the out-come is likely to yield amore stable govern-ment than the lasttime. Yes, even if it is aLiberal orConservative minority,there will be noappetite for anotherelection for years tocome, which means aworking coalition inthe Big House.
All in all, there isreason to feel goodabout this election,since I think the eco-nomic consequenceswill be generally posi-tive – given the assur-ances of (almost all)politicians that taxeswill be coming downand some shackles willbe lifted f rom thebacks of corporations.It is a rare election,indeed, when policyrises to be the mainthrust, instead of whohas more hair.

All in all, there is reason to feelgood about this election, since Ithink the economic consequenceswill be generally positive – giventhe assurances of (almost all)politicians that taxes will be com-ing down and some shackles willbe lifted from the backs of corpo-rations.

Maybe mom is in need of the lesson
I learned a very valuablelesson over the holidays –if you are going to teachyour children a new activ-ity, you had better darnwell be sure you’ve mas-tered it beforehand.
“Santa” was kindenough to leave a newpair of skates for my sonunder our tree this year. Iwas thrilled at the idea ofsharing the activity with
Aidan, who, at four yearsof age, has yet to set ablade on any type of ice.He was equally excited atthe prospect of emulatingsome of his favouritehockey players andassured me that he wasready to take the first stepof his journey to theNHL.
So, during Christmasholidays in Quebec City,
off we went to the out-door rink at the Valcartierbase. Before engaging inthe labourious effort ofputting a pair of skates ona squirming youngster, Inoted happily that therewas a separate, smallerrink for beginners.
Eventually, after muchcomplaining, slipping andsliding down the path, wemade it on the ice, at leastbriefly, in the verticalposition. I, of course, hadneglected to tell Aidanthat his mommy had justmade the switch to hock-ey skates and was stillunable to stop. In theattempt to show him howeasy skating was, I tried todemonstrate the move
and wiped out in front ofhim. After that, there wasno way he was going torely on just my hands forsupport.
With the offering of achair from the rink man-ager, we tried again. Wehadn’t gotten far beforethe frustration set in andmy son decided it was farmore entertaining towatch from his perch ontop of the boards. Afterrealizing that my chidingwasn’t going to work andthe NHL would have towait a little longer for thisplayer, I conceded and lethim watch. Admittedly,the chair didn’t go towaste - I’m seeingimprovements already!

Time to get on the ball(NC)—Some new fitness trends bounce in and thenout of popularity just as quickly because they just don’twork. According to a recent North American surveyof health and fitness professionals, small weightedballs, traditionally used in sports conditioning andrehabilitation programs, are emerging as a popularnew fitness trend. Toning balls, which consumers canfill with water, sand, salt or other similar materials andturn into weights, are becoming hot fast, and it’s easyto see why:
• They are a soft and comfortable alternative totraditional dumbbells
• Toning balls allow for smooth, controlled, fullmovements that improve muscle tone and strengthencore muscles
• They gently increase exercise resistance• The balls are com-
pact, lightweight, andeasy to use at home or totake with you when trav-eling
• Toning balls can beincorporated into aerobicclasses, yoga, Pilates rou-tines and everyday activi-ties.

Fight unhealthy winter habits(NC)—With temperaturesdipping below freezingpoint, shorter days andmore quiet time after thehectic holiday rush, manyCanadians find themselvessettling into a nesting stateof mind. Many tend tobecome more sedentarywith stronger cravings forcomfort foods; which playshavoc on nutrition and fit-ness regimes.
Canadians have a ten-dency to eat more, especial-ly carbohydrates, andbecome less active once thecold weather hits.In fact,anincreased appetite helps tofulfill an instinctual need toconserve energy and is asurvival mechanism thatkicks in at the onset of win-ter. Research studies overpast decades have examinedthis phenomenon and it hasbeen shown that in coldweather people experiencea delayed sense of feelingfull after eating, despitelarger meals.
Jean LaMantia, a regis-tered dietitian and certifiedpersonal trainer, urges peo-ple to enjoy the winter sea-
son by staying active andpursuing a balanced dietthat incorporates plenty ofnutrient-rich vegetablesand fruits, including freshfruit juices like purple grapejuice.
Here are some tips tohelp keep you motivatedand healthy during thewinter months:
• Regular exercise andnutritious meals don’t justhappen naturally for every-one so the best advice is tocome up with a plan thatworks for you
• As the season changesthink how your eatinghabits may change with it.Prepare a weekly meal planbefore you hit the grocerystore
• Think of fitness interms of time management.Pull out your calendar andschedule your exercise time
• When thinking ofhow to get five-to-ten fruitand vegetable servingsdaily, take a look at the gro-cery shelves not just theproduce aisles. A daily glassof pure fruit juice is a con-venient way to get a fruit
serving.Choose a juice withmaximum nutritional valueand taste like purple grapejuice
• Think convenience inyour quest for a balanceddiet. Chop and bag vegeta-bles to take to the office foran afternoon snack or tohave on hand when theevening munchies hit.Make a batch of mealsahead or use a crock-pot soyou won’t be tempted torely on fast food whenpressed for time
• Comfort food doesn’thave to be laden with calo-ries. When makingcasseroles or stews,add in asmany vegetables as possi-ble. Nutrient-rich purplegrape juice and seasonalroot vegetables pack a lot offlavour when added tostews or sauces
• Be opportunistic inyour approach to fitness,grabbing bits of exercisewherever you can: a twilightwalk to help keep awaythose drowsy, couch-potatofeelings or a Saturday after-noon family outing to thelocal skating rink.
Healthycooking
(NC)—Heart healthiercooking is easiest whenyou follow three basicprinciples. Whateveryou are cooking, try to:1. Reduce fat, especial-ly saturated fat.2. Of the fat you douse, choose unsaturatedfat.3. Boost your fibreintake.With these principlesin mind, try to usethese heart healthiercooking methods whenyou prepare your fami-ly’s meals:• Grill, barbecue, orroast meats and allowthe fat to run off.• Try steaming foodsinstead of frying.• Braise meat in brothor tomato juice insteadof frying it.• Refrigerate soups andstews overnight, andskim off any fat beforeserving.• Try to prepare foodswithout deep-frying.• Use non-stick fryingpans or woks so you’llneed very little addedfat.• Remove all visible fatf rom meats, and theskin from poultry andfish (this will signifi-cantly reduce the satu-rated fat in your food).

Safety
Stay safely on your feet - tips on preventing falls
Falls are a leading causeof injury in all kinds ofwork places. They canbe caused by slipping ona slick surface so thatyour feet go out fromunder you. Falls can alsobe caused by tripping onan obstacle; your feetget caught but yourbody keeps on going.Falls also can occurwhen you step off anelevated surface.
Follow these tips toprevent falls:
Keep pedestrian traf-fic areas free of obsta-cles and clutter. Thiscan include scrap, trash,stored materials, toolsand equipment.
Don’t store things onthe floor. There shouldbe adequate shelving orother storage space formaterials, tools andequipment.
Keep walking sur-faces clean and dry.They should be free ofwater, ice, mud, oil andgrease. Pay specialattention to entryways.
Areas where floorsare being cleaned shouldbe blocked off.
Clean up any spillspromptly, or barricadethe area until it can betaken care of.
Report any hazards
on the surfaces for floorssuch as loose carpetingor tiles which are start-ing to lift.
Avoid running cablesand cords across trafficareas. If these must crosswalkways, run themoverhead or use con-duits. As a last resort,make sure cords aretaped down to reducetripping hazards.
Keep trash and scrapcleaned up and disposedof.
Always close drawerspromptly. Leaving alower drawer open cancause a serious accidentif someone stumblesover it.
Use ladders safely.Choose the right ladderfor the job and makesure it is set up properlyon a firm surface. Don’tstand on the top few
rungs, and do not leanaway from the ladder.
Set up scaffoldingsafely. Use approvedscaffold designs and usethem correctly.
When working atheights, use approvedfall protection and fallarrest equipment. Main-tain this equipment welland check it regularlyfor defects.
Wear properfootwear to preventfalls. Shoe soles shouldbe made of non-slipmaterial. Shoes shouldhave how heels, fit welland be kept fastened.
Long, loose pantcuffs present a trippinghazard; don’t wear them.
Maintain adequatelighting. Report anyproblems such asburned out light fixturesor obstructed windows.
This is especiallyimportant in hallwaysand stairwells.
Don’t jump downfrom elevated surfacessuch as vehicles or load-ing docks. Take thestairway or ladder.
Walk, don’t run up ordown stairs, and use thehandrail.
Never store items onthe stairs, even tem-porarily.
Make sure any flooropenings are correctlycovered and barricaded.
Never engage inhorseplay. Pranks haveled to many serious fallsand other accidents.
Slips, trips and fallsoccur in all kinds ofworkplaces, from officesto construction sites. Beaware of fall hazards,and repair or reportthem promptly.

Some of us choose to ride ourbicycle on a daily basis.Everybody has his or her rea-son; it could be to help save theenvironment, to keep in shape,or for the simple pleasure of it.Whatever the reason, cyclingin weather hazards demandsskills and commands respectto the elements.Here are sometips and suggestions youshould consider and adhere toif you are going to cycle inadverse weather conditions.
In this area, in winter, youwill surely encounter wetweather. Wet weather makesroads slippery. Light rainbrings oil to the surface ofroads, making them especiallytreacherous. Heavy rainsmeans wet rims and poorbraking. You need to ride dif-ferently in the rain because ofthese factors. Braking: mostbicycle brakes poorly in therain.If you have steel rims,rideslowly and apply brakes gentlyat least 50 metres from inter-sections. Brake hard only afteryour brakes start to grab. Tryyour brakes out in the rain ona deserted street to discoverhow they work when wet.Aluminium rims provide thebest wet weather braking.Cornering: you have less trac-tion on wet roads, so cornerslowly with less leaning.Puddles: can hide holes in thepavement, broken glass andother nasty surprises. Avoidpuddles or go through themslowly. Visibility: visibility ispoor in wet weather; wearbright yellow or fluorescentouter garments so that driverscan see you better.
In the late fall and winter,cold weather will also be a partof you cycling experience.When the temperatures dropsto freezing or below, tractionproblems, and the danger ofhypothermia and frostbiteappear. Ride carefully andslower than normal in theseconditions.Frost and black ice:Overnight freezes can leavepatches of frost and black iceon the road. On frost, rideslowly, using a medium gearand the rear brake only.Cornercarefully, without leaning. Youwill have some traction, butnot a lot. On black ice, gostraight. Avoid any braking orturning. You have no tractionat all. On extensive patches,walk your bike. Be especiallycareful crossing bridges.Snow:Even hard packed snow pro-vides some traction, but it islimited and your wheels slidearound as you ride. Go slowlyin a medium gear and cornercarefully, without leaning. Useyour front brake delicately.Your best choice as for tireswould be, fat, heavily treadedtires. Thin tires can be unsta-ble and make pedalling diffi-cult. When you ride in coldweather hypothermia andfrostbite is also something tothink about. Your extremitieslose heat fast. Wear goodheadgear, mitts and footgear,and keep rides short.

You can move forward witha financial deal but do check the fine print.Stop turning your back on the pos-sibilities on the 20th and 21st. A little work is no reason to shy away. A part-nership may turn out to be totally different than what you expect.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do not overindulge or take a chance on the15th and 16th. An unusual approach to something you do well will turn outto be in demand. Getting something you want to pursue off the ground lookspositive.Form alliances or talk matters over with people you want to do thingswith in the future on the 17th, 18th and 19th. A partnership is looking goodbut set up rules and boundaries. Change will be necessary but also very goodfor you. Someone may try to take advantage of your generosity on the 20thand 21st. Don’t be too quick to offer your services. Networking your way to abetter position should be on your agenda.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21): You should have a greater concern aboutwhere your money is going on the 15th and 16th.Go through your papers andyou will discover where you can cut corners. Setting up a tight budget will payoff quicker than you think. Seal a deal or advance your position on the 17th,18th and 19th. Discussing your plans with the people you feel will play a rolein what you do should be your top priority. Being knowledgeable and inform-ative will do the trick. Be careful how you present your thoughts on the 20thand 21st. Someone may take you the wrong way. Diplomacy and charm andgive-and-take will give you the edge.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may not be feeling all that secure onthe 15th and 16th about your future but you have nothing to worry about.Keep your eye on someone trying to make you feel inadequate. You will learnmuch through your observation. You see it, you want it, you take it. Thatshould be the flavor on the 17th, 18th and 19th. Rethink why you have beenwatching out for everyone else. Don’t forget to make special plans for two. Dowhat you can to fix things at home both physically and personally on the 20thand 21st. Don’t limit yourself — keep an open mind and you will discoversome valuable information. Anger will never get you what you want.AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid overeating, drinking or overdoing any-thing on the 15th and 16th. Exaggeration will lead to trouble. Don’t make arash decision. Bide your time. Don’t let innuendos confuse you on the 17th,18th and 19th.Think about how you can make improvements to your life andyour surroundings. This is a perfect time to make changes that will help youmove in a more lucrative direction.Don’t think about what you can’t do on the20th and 21st, think about what you can. You will impress the people aroundyou if you aren’t afraid to take on a little extra work or responsibility. Someoneyou like will make you think about future possibilities.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put greater emphasis on the truth on the 15thand 16th not what you may have fabricated in your own mind. Face the musicand rid yourself of the past mistakes you made so you can help yourself andthose who count on you. There will be no room for lies. Emotional ups anddowns will leave you confused on the 17th, 18th and 19th. Try not to readsomething into what’s being discussed. Keep things simple and you will standa much better chance with both money matters and relationships. A little cango a long way if you are resourceful on the 20th and 21st. Don’t expect yourfamily or friends to understand why you are obsessing over someone or some-thing.
